“Plus” products are convertible to any available permanent policy without a new medical exam.

Premiums shown are for Term 20 Plus, a renewable term life insurance policy that guarantees the premium to remain level for 20 years from the Policy Date. The premiums quoted are based on the age of the insured at nearest birthday and specified underwriting classification and are subject to change without notice. Premiums for issued policies may be different than the premiums shown based upon actual underwriting classification. Generally, in the absence of fraud, after an amount of insurance has been in effect for two years during the insured’s lifetime, we cannot contest that amount due to a false statement made in the application. In the event of death during the first two policy years by suicide or self destruction while insane, only the premiums paid will be returned as death proceeds. Term products convertible to the end of the level term period or to the policy anniversary date nearest the insured’s 70th birthday, whichever occurs first. Conversion options vary by term product. FlexTerm Series IX policies (Form 07-TR-1 and any state variations) are underwritten and issued by Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation, Cincinnati, Ohio. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuer. Product, product features and rider availability vary by state. Company not licensed to conduct business in AK, HI and NY. Form 2944 Rev. 1-14

919 | NOTES Publisher Suzy Beth Sarver Graphic Design Louwra Marais Production Ame Deaton Tika Stuart Marketing Maranda Duff

The Gift of Music Welcome to our Special 3rd Anniversary Edition of 919 Magazine!

It’s been a real journey since publishing our first issue here back in 2012 … and we are only getting started!

We love to keep you guessing on what we are up to here at 919 Magazine – and we have some wonderful surprises on deck this summer and fall. Our work is very rewarding, especially when we receive a positive response from our dear readers who light up when they meet our team at a community event.

The praise, the feedback – and even the occasional “grumpy” resident (who has no qualms in letting me have it) – all need to be heard; and it encourages our team to strive even harder for excellence and to give you a publication you want to read.

Because we love what we do, I am so excited to share one of my greatest loves in this special anniversary issue: The gift of music. Our very own 919 Team put me in the hot seat with an interview about my passion and the launch of a project very dear to my heart, the 919 Music Fest. The story begins on Page 34.

Also in this issue, don’t miss: ¾ An informative piece on Jay Izso, a North Raleigh digital media expert who offers insight on how businesses can use psychology to master their social media efforts – and improve their results – in his new book, “Got Social Mediology?”. Check it out on Page 42. ¾ A touching profile of Michael Frink, whose relationship with his little brother influences the development of his keys to success – and perhaps his future career choice. Look for it on Page 20. ¾ The feature on long-time high school teacher Lynda Roszko, honored as one of the nation’s best computer science instructors. It’s on Page 22.

Of course, we offer so much more in this issue of your community magazine, including an early look at local Independence Day activities, and a wide range of youth camps available this summer. It’s all available online too; read all of our publications by visiting www.919magazine.com So, let the music play…

Time Management, Accepting Responsibility Michael Frink Finds His Keys to Success

By G. CLEVELAND KILGORE 919 Magazine Writer

M

ichael Frink learned that time management and responsibility are the keys to success very quickly.

At age 16, he began working after school, working on the weekends and held two jobs during the summer months.

“I’ve learned a lot about myself while working,” said Frink. “And I am thankful for the opportunities I’ve had.”

A 2014 Leesville Road High School graduate, Frink spent long hours between school, work, and studying and researching in the library. In addition, while at LRHS he spent one day a week caring for his 13-year-old brother, Matthew, who suffers from tuberous sclerosis – a disease that causes tumors to grow on major organs, and can cause epilepsy, ADHD, autism, OCD and global developmental delays.

“When other people see my brother, 20

they see someone with a lot of disabilities; but to me, he’s just my brother,” Frink said. “He has taught me a lot about overcoming adversity because he always has a smile on his face no matter what.”

Over the years, Frink volunteered with the Miracle League, a special needs baseball league (on which

I want to help people when they are facing tough times and other life obstacles.

Matthew played) at Duke Hospital, and at LRHS was involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Key Club. While in high school, he also attended several engineering camps at NC State University and a biosciences and engineering camp at Duke University.

Now a student at Vance-Granville Community College in Henderson, NC, Frink credits his volunteer experiences – May/June 2015

and especially his brother Matthew – as his inspiration for having a special interest in psychology as his current career aspiration. “I want to help people when they are facing tough times and other life obstacles,” he noted.

Frink’s mother Frankie explained that she feels very lucky to have her son as part of her life. “He amazes me,” she explained. “Matthew may have many special needs, but Michael is simply special. I’m beyond proud of him, and I don’t know what I did to deserve him, but I am thankful.”

Passionate About Teaching

Longtime Leesville High Instructor Honored As One of Best Teachers in Computer Science

Lynda Roszko, LRHS Computer Science and Math Instructor

May/June 2015

Lynda Roszko has a passion for teaching.

It shows everyday in the classroom when she’s teaching computer science classes at Leesville Road High School. It certainly was evident when she recently received the Wake County Public School System’s Employee Excellence Award.

And it was obvious last year when she was named one of the top 100 computer science teachers in the nation.

Originally from southern Ontario, Canada, where most of her family still resides, Roszko’s zeal for education started early in life. “It seemed like a fun job to be able to help and shape the minds of young people,” she explained. “I was a computer programmer before this career and I thoroughly enjoyed that job as well; however, after my children were born and in school, I decided to try the teaching career that I had always wanted to pursue.”

Now she has been teaching for 22 years in Wake County: Six years at Sanderson High School in North Raleigh, and the remaining 16 years at LRHS. In addition to providing instruction in Computer Science Principles – the newest computer science course in U.S. high schools – she also teaches SAS Programming and AP Computer Science.

“Through the years at LRHS, I have taught Computer Sciences levels 1 through 4, Trigonometry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, SAT Prep for Math and pre-Algebra,” Roszko said. “I enjoy the interaction with my students and having a lab setting facilitates this quite well. I encourage students to work in teams to solve difficult problems and to synthesize their programs into exciting and original work.”

Next summer, Roszko will be named a “Master Teacher” for AP Computer Science Principles and have the opportunity to teach her fellow educators how to introduce and teach this course at their schools.

And this past year, Roszko was chosen as one of the top 100 Computer

Science teachers in the USA, an honor that included a trip to Washington, DC, arranged and funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Center for Women in Technology. During this trip she attended several workshops where she had the opportunity to mingle with a number of top federal technology officials.

Roszko found the experience very informative, as well as exciting. “The teachers present had the opportunity to network with each other and enjoy the excitement of the event together,” she said.

“I am honored to receive this award and humbled to be included with the top computer science teachers of the country,” Roszko continued. “I am also overwhelmed with the tremendous support I have received from friends, family, and former students. Their support and comments touched my heart and I am grateful for each of them. This renewed my love for teaching and for working to help students be successful in their futures.”

CELEBRATING 3YEARS IN THE 919!

Sights and Sounds Along the I-540 Corridor With this issue of 919 Magazine, we mark three full years of producing and distributing an innovative type of media – an all-local glossy print magazine, backed by a robust website with a complete digital edition, video, live broadcast, and a host of social media opportunities for readers and advertisers.

W

e have many people to thank for our success, and many charter advertisers who supported us from the beginning. We are grateful, and humbled by how well our efforts to build a sense of community along the I-540 Corridor were received.

On these pages, we offer a quick kaleidoscope of scenes from the past 36 months, from the first event covered by 919 Magazine back in 2012 (St. Patrick’s Day at Tra’Li Irish Pub and Restaurant in Brier Creek) to festivals, street fairs and various charity events that we’ve attended, supported, and – in many cases – provided leadership and guidance.

919 Magazine is committed to the 919 area – not only because we have a business here, but also because we’re proud to call this our home. As we embark on our fourth year in this grand experiment, we say:

Thank you for the support, feedback, confidence and trust.

Listen TO THE MUSIC Get Ready for North Raleigh’s First Ever Live Music Festival

919 Magazine Publisher Suzy Beth Sarver is passionate about music. Ask anyone who knows her. She can recite lyrics to songs that were on the charts from when she was in diapers. And Mason Ailstock thanks to parents who exposed her early on to some of the world’s best rock music, you would be hard pressed to find a song she doesn’t know. You can even find her in a speaking role on an Eagles’ video from 1993. If there is band playing live in North Raleigh, she’s ready, willing and on the dance floor. So it’s no surprise that she and 919 Magazine are presenting the 919 Music Fest on Sunday, March 31, in North Raleigh.

A Conversation with Suzy Beth Sarver, 919 Magazine Publisher and Inspiration of the 919 Music Fest

Q&A How do you explain your love for music?

Where exactly is the 919 Music Fest taking place?

When I was young, I was always exposed to music. My parents owned a very popular bar/restaurant featuring live entertainment on the weekends. They also played music non-stop in from some of the best bands and musicians of the era and taught me to appreciate different genres. One day we would be listening to Eric Clapton, the next it would be Luciano Pavarotti. In fact, my mother played both the accordion and the organ often to the sounds of the Beatles or Carly Simon. I guess that early exposure definitely inspired me, because I’ve loved music since I was a little girl. Classic rock is definitely a part of my passion; but I am really a fan of multiple genres, from pop to blues, and jazz to bluegrass (in fact, 919 Magazine is a sponsor of the annual World of Bluegrass event in Raleigh).

The first 919 Music Fest is on a large grassy parcel of land on Glenwood Avenue and Kodiak Street, adjacent to Sir Walter Chevrolet in North Raleigh. It’s a perfect spot for our first event. On a visit last year with the Sir Walter team at their magnificent facility at 8501 Glenwood Avenue, I noticed the field and mentioned to Community Outreach Director Caroline Birckhead my hope to one day put on a music festival somewhere in North Raleigh. I was blown away when she informed me that not only did Sir Walter Chevrolet own the open property – but that the dealership had also sponsored music events back in the 1950s! Well, that started the ball rolling – and with the help of a wonderful committee of volunteers, we are anxiously awaiting this exciting May 31 event to take place. Sir Walter is proving to be an outstanding supporter and sponsor of the 919 Music Fest.

When did you conceive of the 919 Music Fest?

I guess I conceived the idea and the concept years ago, long before moving to Raleigh and launching 919 Magazine. But, certainly, once I was in North Carolina, the concept of a music festival or some type of music-related event was at the top of my mind.

I remember driving throughout the Raleigh area – and noting potential spots for such an event. At one point, I had a list of more than a half dozen places as possibilities. But there was always a hitch: Nothing ever felt completely right.

Why did you undertake such a large task?

Giving back to the community is a part of our charter at 919 Magazine. From the beginning three years ago, we’ve featured a variety of non-profit organizations in the pages of our various editions – exposing readers to a valuable and indispensible aspect of their communities. We volunteer and participate in a number of community events throughout the 919, and support many groups and charitable efforts. The 919 Music Fest simply takes that priority a step further by providing funds directly to an organization doing great work in our hometown. Plus, even though it takes a lot of time and effort (not just by me, but also the 919 Magazine team and a host of wonderful volunteers), it is very rewarding and a lot of fun. We can’t wait to party with some great bands and local music fans.

919 Magazine BC

What group is the 919 Music Fest supporting?

In its first year, the event is raising funds to support the 200 Club of Wake County, an organization that provides immediate funds to the spouses and family of fallen first responders in Wake County (including police officers, sheriff’s deputies, state troopers, firefighters and EMS personnel). In addition, the group funds scholarships for the children of the first responders lost in the line of duty.

What can attendees expect at the 919 Music Fest?

A lot of fun – and a lot of great music! Seriously, this will be a great way to spend a Sunday. First is the music: We have an amazing lineup of musicians from the 919, led by two bands who were integral to organizing this event: Gimme Shelter (a Rolling Stones cover band) and Idlewild South (an Allman Brothers cover band).

All together, we have 10 acts scheduled for two stages, performing from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

But the 919 Music Fest has much more than the music. We also have: ¾ More than a dozen food trucks ¾ A beer and wine garden (Please turn to page 38)

BEST Sir Walter Chevrolet’s Long, Deep Local History Spans Generations

By G. CLEVELAND KILGORE 919 Magazine Writer

S

ir Walter Chevrolet – primary sponsor for the 919 Music Fest – has a long, deep history in the Raleigh community, including an early influence on the local music scene.

“In the mid-1950s, thanks to the vision of my great-grandfather, Frank R. Anderson Sr., and his passion for music, thousands gathered on the Sir Walter Chevrolet used car lot in downtown Raleigh on Saturday nights for dancing and music with the Country Stylers Band,” said Caroline Birckhead, Community Outreach Director for the dealership now located in North Raleigh. “Ironically, the space where that festival was held is now the Red Hat Amphitheater, a local concert venue.”

The family-owned dealership spanning four generations – first opened in 1928 – moved to its current location at 8501 Glenwood Avenue in 1997, and has thrived due to its long-time dedication to the Raleigh community as well as its

commitment to its employees, excellence and innovation, according to Birckhead.

“At Sir Walter, we are always looking for ways to involve and support the community, and when 919 Magazine approached us with the concept for a music festival – it seemed like the perfect fit, based on our history and mission,” Birckhead said. “Not only will the 919 Music Fest be a way for local Raleigh citizens to enjoy music together, but it will also raise awareness and funding to a wonderful organization – the 200 Club of Wake County.”

The 200 Club of Wake County is dedicated to providing immediate financial help for the spouse and children of police officers, sheriff deputies, firemen, EMS squad members and North Carolina State Highway Patrol serving in Wake County who lose their lives in the line of duty. “We are honored to be a part of something that supports and celebrates first responders

in our community,” said Birckhead.

Plus, it’s another way Sir Walter Chevrolet can give back to its hometown.

“We are Raleigh born and raised, spanning four generations – and our family is and has always been committed to serving the Raleigh community,” Birckhead stressed.

Free Live Music in North Raleigh

Two Stages, Kids Zone, Food, Vendors Beer Garden and More at May 31 Event 919 Music Fest – the new free all-day live music benefit event in North Raleigh on Sunday, May 31 – features 10 performances on two stages, food trucks and tents, local vendor booths, a beer garden, a kids zone and much more.

Proceeds of the event, presented by 919 Magazine and sponsored by Sir Walter Chevrolet, will benefit The 200 Club of Wake County, which provides financial support to the local families of police officers, deputies, firefighters and EMS personnel who died in the line of duty.

Main stage bands scheduled to perform between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. are profiled below:

They love playing anywhere people want to hear and enjoy great classic and contemporary live music. “In the sea of local cover bands, Night Shift really stands out far above the rest,” said Dori Staehle of Next Stage Entertainment. “I have yet to see such a high level of musicianship combined with killer harmonies.

This band is extremely tight, very professional, and very polished.

If you haven’t checked them out yet, you better get with the program. These guys (and gal) are the real deal!”

GIMME SHELTER IDLEWILD SOUTH An Allman Brothers Band Tribute, Idlewild South was co-founded by keyboardist and vocalist Don Eason, a veteran musician whose initial influence of The Allman Brothers Band’s live performance goes back to his first concert experience of the band on Easter weekend 1970, at The Winter’s End Concert in Bithlo, FL. A duo of drummers – including co-founder Robert Kintner and John Flowers – provides the foundation with bassist Tim Smith rounding out the rhythm section. Slide guitarist Dave George and lead guitarist/vocalist Pete Waggoner bring forth the dual guitar harmonies and searing guitar leads that Duane Allman and Dickie Betts pioneered in the late 1960s.

The band’s set lists are different at every performance, largely drawing from The Allman Brothers Bands albums recorded between 1969 and 1974 (a few select songs from albums released between 1989 and 2000 are also included).

This is the dual life of the five guys in the band Gimme Shelter.

By day, they are average everyday guys working as engineers, project managers, and technical recruiters. On the weekends they take the form of Mick, Keith, Ronnie, Bill and Charlie as they play the music of The Rolling Stones.

Formed in 2012, Gimme Shelter has played all around the Triangle and beyond. With Paul Baldasare as their dynamic singer, there’s no limit to the breadth of Rolling Stones songs that the band can play.

NIGHT SHIFT A six-piece band whose members have known each other and have made music together for over 10 years, Night Shift has appeared at the Regency Amphitheater, Raleigh Convention Center, the Red Hat Amphitheater, and at local pubs, concerts, benefits, and corporate parties.

The dual guitar work from Eric Sanders and Mike Miller delivers all the signature Stones riffs, and much more. With Shannon Burgess on bass and Chris Kennedy on drums, the solid rhythm section keeps the groove going as the band plays the wide variety of the Stones catalog, covering everything from rock, blues, country, R&B, and disco.

The band recently expanded its repertoire to include songs from other artists, but stay true to their roots. Songs from Black Crowes, Faces, Rod Stewart, Bad Company, Joe Cocker, and Eric Clapton all remain close to the core of the Gimme Shelter sound that’s anchored by the “World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band” – The Rolling Stones.

The band can turn on a dime, playing an all-out rockabilly rave-up one moment, then downshifting into a country ballad the next, followed by a burning instrumental number.

PENNI & THE SQUIRREL

FOUR FOUNDERS Four Founders is a sensible mix of modern blues and the swampy southern rock feel that mainstream music has been missing for decades.

Whiskey Days, the group’s debut EP, crossed genres between blues, rock, and country to create a unique and organic compilation that any listener can enjoy.

The Raleigh-based group formed in 2014 and is gaining momentum in North Carolina after a successful debut year filled with notable performances at Midtown Park Amphitheater (attendance of 3,000+), Park West Village, and Downtown Raleigh’s Fourth of July Celebration (5,000+).

Front man Garland Mason leads the group with strong vocals and a wide range – a perfect complement to the musical talent of David Healy (lead guitar), Chris Ruggero (bass guitar), Evan Bost (keyboards), and Sean Steigerwald (percussion).

SWANG BROTHERS Featuring the talented trio of FJ Ventre (upright bass/vocals), David Quick (acoustic guitar/vocals), and Eric Peterson (electric guitar), the Swang Brothers play American music from the 50s and 60s – combining a heady mix of traditional country, rockabilly, pop, and blues.

The three-piece outfit of thumping upright bass, driving acoustic guitar and twanging electric guitar covers a diverse array of artists, including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Horton, Englebert Humperdinck, Gene Vincent, Neil Diamond, Merle Haggard, Chet Atkins, and many others, while mixing in some choice original tunes to round it all out.

919 Magazine BC

Penni & the Squirrel is an acoustic duo covering modern and classic rock, country, Americana and folk.

They also write and perform original music – and have a wide range of influences, including classical, jazz, The Civil Wars, Shovels and Rope, Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac, Alanis Morissette, Dolly Parton, Audioslave, Alice and Chains, Sara Bareilles, and Tom Petty (just to name a few).

Stephanie Connor grew up in the small town of Pisgah Forest, NC. Her first experience singing on stage was at age five with her mother playing piano and her grandfather playing guitar. She has been singing ever since. After studying opera and singing jazz in Chicago for six years, Stephanie moved to Raleigh to teach private music lessons at an elementary school in Wake County.

After stints with other bands, she has been singing exclusively with Penni & the Squirrel for the past two years and is looking forward to what the future will bring for this musical project.

Donnie Sasser grew up with strong musical influences as well.

His mother sang in a country/rock band when he was a boy and he fell in love with music at an early age (including playing drums with her). After high school, he toured with a rock band before joining the popular local band, the Amazing Lounge Lizards, for 15 years. More recently, he was with the band Steelwater before the current acoustic project was born.

Empowering Business North Raleigh Author’s New Book Focuses On Using Psychology to Master Social Media

North Raleigh Author Jay Izso

A

North Raleigh digital media expert offers insight on how businesses can use psychology to master their social media efforts – and improve their results – in the new book “Got Social Mediology?”.

“This is a revolutionary approach to doing social media by understanding the psychology of the user, respecting the cultural nuances of each social media platform, and focusing on creating authentic relationships,” said Jay Izso, an author, speaker, consumer analyst,

“Business owners will be able to grow their business on social media far faster than ever before and without emptying their marketing budget in the process.”

Using practical business examples and up-to-date research, “Got Social Mediology?” provides everything businesses need to succeed on social media, according to Izso, including: n How to apply psychological principles to build a brand and attract clients. n Hands-on exercises to transform individuals into social media professionals. n A customizable, daily checklist to manage social media efforts so they don’t manage you.

relationships, and grow your business over time,” said Izso, who currently is promoting the book nationally via interviews on radio, television and in a variety of publications.

Izso, also known professionally as the Internet Doctor®, feels businesses today are in need of something more than a new marketing plan: They need to better understand their consumer and how environments change the way consumers interact with businesses, or want to be interacted with. “The honest truth, consumers are changing as a result of the internet and social media environments,” he explained. “They have different expectations of businesses; the traditional methods of contacting them and connecting with them have changed.”

The author has a Master’s of Science in Experimental Psychology from Washington State University and has taught psychology for more than 20 years, including at North Carolina State University. A long-time resident of Raleigh, he enjoys life as a wine geek, musician, sports fan, and movie buff.

Rex Hospital Open in May at TPC Wakefield, Benefits for Angel Fund One of North Wake County’s biggest traditions, the 27th annual Rex Hospital Open is May 25-31 at TPC Wakefield Plantation.

A part of the Web.com Professional Tour, the event features dozens of future golf stars competing to earn their PGA Tour cards. “Each year there is an opportunity to see the best young players as well as some well-known veteran players that are back playing on the Web.com Tour. Over the years players like Chesson Hadley, Bubba Watson, Lee Janzen, Jason Dufner, Brandt Snedaker, and Matt Kuchar have played in the Rex Hospital Open,” said Brian Krusoe, tournament director. “Don’t miss the opportunity to watch the next wave of players like these in your own back yard.”

Krusoe said spectators can expect many of the same great experiences as in years past: A village area with vendors and kids activities, such as rock climbing and inflatables; Carolina Hurricanes Bleacher on #18 open to the public; inexpensive tickets ($10 a day for adults, with kids 16 and under free).

Active and retired Military get in free all week. Saturday is Family Fun Day presented by the Carolina Hurricanes and is filled with special kids’ activities and interactive games. Sunday is Service Appreciation Day presented by First Citizens Bank, with free admission for police, EMS and firefighters.

All proceeds benefit the Angel Fund at Rex Hospital. “The Angel Fund is a program funded through community donations and enables us to assist patients with special financial needs as they cope with the hardships associated with cancer and treatment,” said Krusoe, noting that the fund is available to any cancer patient treated at Rex Cancer Center and can cover expenses such as transportation, nutrition supplements, prescriptions for pain and nausea management, and compression sleeves and bras for breast cancer survivors.

“I would encourage anyone on the fence about attending this event to make the trip out – and I guarantee you will be amazed at the level of talent and great golf on display,” Krusoe said.

Berlin Wall Symbolism Fits at The Frontier

By WHITNEY VAUGHAN 919 Magazine Writer

The Frontier in Research Triangle Park has a major historical addition to the first floor – a 3-ton fragment of the Berlin Wall, complete with the original West Side graffiti.

Twenty-five years after the wall’s dismantling in the city split between West and East Germany, this Cold War artifact stands in the building’s light-filled atrium as a stunning symbol of transformation and hope.

As the first segment ever to be released, the structure was purchased and donated for display by Raleigh philanthropist Gordon Smith, who sought out an appropriate place for the iconic piece. “I think what resonated with Gordon Smith was the fact that we [The Frontier] were taking this old building, this old structure – much like the Berlin Wall – and rebuilding and re-imagining what it could

be,” said Jacob Newbauer, Community Coordinator at The Frontier.

To install the immensely heavy concrete wall, the staff made several provisions in advance, including reinforcing the floor, replacing tile with carpet, and removing

part of the building’s glass exterior.

Additionally, 24 electrical outlets were installed so that visitors could work online and simultaneously admire the 12 ft. by 4 ft. edifice.

Julie Terry, Marketing and Special Projects Manager at The Research Triangle Foundation – which operates The Frontier – hopes the community will not only get excited to have the piece of world history in its own backyard, but also feel they are welcome to visit The Frontier. “We want people to come see this segment of the Berlin Wall,” she said. “It is definitely a resource for the entire community.”

The Frontier is located at 800 Park Office Drive in Research Triangle Park, near Davis Drive and Chapel Hill Road (Highway 54) – just off I-40.

You Need A New Mattress

By VICKI ASHLEY

C

olorful print advertisements, catchy radio jingles, giant blow up Gumbys with flapping arms, dancing sign-flippers – you have seen it all; the mattress shopping season is upon us and this year you need a new mattress.

Where do you begin?

Mattress shopping doesn’t have to be painful and with a few simple guidelines it can even be fun. Start by determining why you need a new mattress and what is important. Do you want natural materials and no chemicals? Do you sleep hot? Do you wake up in pain?

Knowing what sleep issues you want addressed will help you and your sleep advisor to choose the right mattress for you.

Mattresses made with natural materials do not contain polyurethane

foam or harmful chemicals. Natural materials include all-natural latex, wool and cotton, and these materials combined make a sleep surface that aids in keeping your body temperature regulated, providing much needed pressure relief and keeping your sleep environment free of offgassing odors and dust mites.

Don’t let all the crazy advertising gimmicks draw you in and sway your decision toward a mattress that isn’t right for you. All of those gimmicks are for the benefit of the retailer and not the consumer. Your decision should be based on the attributes that are most important for you to gain a happy and healthy night sleep every night of your life.

Lastly, shop local: You work directly with owners who are passionate about their products and it keeps local money in the local economy.

SD Portraits Photographer Offers Extensive Experience to Clients

C

atherine Davis took her first photography class in 9th Grade and basically became a photo geek in high school – spending way too much time in the darkroom.

But it paid off, much to the benefit of her clients as the principal photographer with SD Portraits.

“What I love most about photography is working closely with my clients,” Davis said. “I love the challenge of anticipating moments of connection and capturing them in a way that is also beautiful. Real smiles don’t happen on command, but we get there through fun conversation and activity.”

Davis doubles as a staff photographer for 919 Magazine, giving her extensive experience in the North Raleigh and Wake Forest areas. “I love meeting new people and learning about my community. Our residents are doing amazing things and I love

the challenge to convey their stories in images for the publication,” she said.

“Go local! And I get excited every time I photograph a local business. Spending our dollars locally strengthens our community in multiple ways.”

Davis resides in North Raleigh’s Stonebridge community with her husband, Todd, who works in marketing at CenturyLink; and children, Laird and Wheeler, who attend Raleigh Charter High School.

After many years as a family portrait photographer in Kansas City and Raleigh, Davis now offers her photography services for professional clients in the 919.

Davis can be reached at 919-846-4503 or info@sdportraits.com. More information is available at www.sdportraits.com.
