Blending the Old and the New – It’s a Beautiful Thing

Suzy Beth Sarver

Art Director Ben Bipes

When Scott and I first toured North Carolina a few years ago looking to branch out with our community magazines, we fell upon the charming town of Wake Forest. The quaint downtown area, the rows of stately historic homes, the majestic old trees that hover over the town in an almost protective way, and a college campus full of life and experiences all its own – yes, this town could keep any writer busy for years. I fell in love with the people of Wake Forest and their sweet southern ways, some with honey-dripped accents here in a town steeped in pride and rich with history. I soon discovered the real magic: The ability they possess of blending the old and the new Wake Forest, and how the mayor, town commissioners and citizens are coming together for a future filled with promise. Take a look with 919 Magazine as we discover Mayor Vivian Jones vision for the future – engaging our youth and the arts, and welcoming new residents. It all begins on Page 26. Also in this issue of 919 Magazine, be sure to: • Read about the Mestas Family and how empty nesters -- and parents of three children – who decided to adopt five more kids! It’s a heartwarming story about how all their lives were changed by the decision. Find it on Page 12. • Spend some time with Makenna Castor, a Wake Forest 6th Grader who is already a philanthropist and aiming to make a positive difference in the world. Her story begins on Page 14. • Enjoy learning how Adriana Henderson and her husband, Tom, are making a big, big difference in their community and around the world. Specifically, find out about the work they’re doing in Romania to ensure children there can enjoy spending time each summer at Camp Ray of Hope. Check it out on Page 10. Wrapping up, we take you over to “Meet in the Street” on Pages 24-25. Sponsored by the Greater Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce, it’s a huge event for our community the first weekend of May. Be sure to visit 919 Magazine’s booth on event day; we will be on Taylor Street and we would love to say hello. Also catch our 4th of July events on Page 9. And on Page 40, we offer a complete list of one of my favorites – Farmers Markets (highlighting our own Wake Forest market, of course). Finally, let me send special wishes to all of the “moms, dads and grads” this season, including my own.

Hendersons’ Efforts to Assist Sick Children Span Globe By HANNAH TOWNSEND 919 Magazine Writer

“We are able to provide a few days of joy and happiness in the life of a child who the rest of the year has no childhood,” she said. Adriana said they have traveled to Romania to operate Camp Ray of Hope for the past eight years, and said the experience changed their lives. “Our next trip to Romania is in June 2014 and we will have two camps; one for hemophilia and one for cancer.” The international award-winning camp is free of charge for the children and their families, and according to Adriana, involves

Adriana and Tom Henderson are no strangers to philanthropy. Together, the Wake Forest couple has given their time to organizations in Romania, Ireland and Victory Junction in North Carolina. Both are involved with Journey Church. Tom is also currently involved with the Kiwanis Club in Wake Forest and Adriana founded S.T.A.R. Children Relief, a nonprofit organization that coordinates Camp Ray of Hope in Romania each year for children with serious illnesses.

over 80 children and 30 volunteers. Three years ago, the camp also began accepting children with other chronic illnesses. “We bring donated medicine to camp for prophylactic treatment – medicine which is not readily available in Romania,” Adriana said. “This medicine is being donated from pharmaceutical companies through our partner, AmeriCares.” With the appropriate medicine, Adriana said children with these diseases can have a normal childhood, away from the fear of getting hurt. To operate the annual camp, she and Tom raise funds throughout the year – most recently at a Blue Grass and BBQ fundraiser in April at the American Legion hall in Wake Forest.

Mestas Family Learns How Adopting Five Children Can Change Their Lives

Photo by Bob Fortner Photography

By HANNAH TOWNSEND 919 Magazine Writer

Wake Forest residents Eileen and Jerry Mestas’ Wake Forest home they now share with five adopted children is filled with a lot of noise – and a lot of excitement. From Legos to dolls, arts and crafts, sports, and music lessons, this family – which includes Jeremiah (10), James (10), Josiah (9), Keziah (7) and Keren (7) – doesn’t really seem anything out of the ordinary. Yet Eileen, a self-proclaimed “Jane of many trades,” worked in the dental and medical fields; was a software telecommunications technician; authored More Than “I” Can Handle; invented Can’t-a-Peek Nursing Canopy, the designer nursing cover for breastfeeding moms; and raised eight children – three biological, and five adopted. Jerry is a retired police officer, private investigator, Spanish voice talent, certified Spanish interpreter and currently works 12

for a software company in Raleigh. Originally from San Gabriel, CA, the the Mestas – including grown children Melissa (31), Jonathan (23) and Ellie (20) – moved to Wake Forest in 1994 for a healthier and slower paced environment. “We often say, Jerry was raised in California, Eileen in New York and now we’re raising our kids southern style,” Eileen said. Eileen said she and Jerry were “awakened” to the orphan crisis after raising their three older children and on the verge of an empty nest. After adopting

five more children, Eileen started a blog, jobsdaughters.blogspot.com, to document the family’s journey. The blog is now a book, a speaking ministry and Eileen said the experience has radically changed their lives. “It is life-transforming to know that my life is not my own and it’s not about me,” Eileen said. Today, the entire family serves in Mustard Seed Faith Ministries, founded by Eileen and Jerry, to “educate, equip and encourage others in adoption and orphan care.” Jerry is the ministry director, Eileen is the marketing director,

Makenna Castor Expects to Make A Positive Difference in the World By HANNAH TOWNSEND 919 Magazine Writer

Nannette Stangle-Castor is certain that her daughter, Makenna Castor will make a positive difference in the world. “She knows what she wants and will not let anything stand in her way,” Stangle-Castor said of her 11-year-old 6th Grader who attends Thales Academy in Wake Forest.

She knows what she wants and will not let anything stand in her way. NANNETTE STANGLE-CASTOR MAKENNA’S MOTHER

Makenna is a member of the Kerr Family YMCA, a team member on the Thales Academy Junior High volleyball team, and a philanthropist. “I have donated my time to Safe Space in Louisburg, NC – an organization that helps families impacted by domestic violence,” McKenna said. “We also adopt families in need each Christmas so we can give them a very special day with their family so they know that people care about them.” ¬After college, Makenna aspires to become a detective or forensic scientist because she wants to help people. She said, in life, that is what would make her happy. “Watching Makenna interact with others is humbling,” Stangle-Castor said. “She has such empathy for others, really understanding their needs, and then doing what she can to help them.” Makenna said a lot of her inspiration comes from the women in her family. She attributes her selflessness to her grandmother who she said, “does all she can for others even when she is hurt or not feeling well.” Makenna also looks up

to her older cousin, Ashlee; and her mother – because she has taught her to never give up on something that she really wants, and that anything is possible with enough effort. Academically, Makenna said she enjoys math and physical education; but, more importantly, she enjoys being a part of a school that encourages learning and growing within a safe environment. “I enjoy being at a school where everyone is kind, caring and respectful to each other, both students and teachers,” she said. “The teachers at Thales Academy have inspired the students and fostered a love of learning that will serve them through school and beyond,” Makenna’s mother added. “In addition to learning the genuine love and concern that the teachers have shown set a wonderful example for the children.”

Founder Hilda Parlér, a veteran educator and local business woman, said the school will offer classes for students in kindergarten through 5th Grade (and add one grade a year through 8th Grade). “This is a life-long dream,” she said. “Ever since I was a little girl, I had a love for mathematics and wanted to teach mathematics. I would teach my siblings during the summer months and when we were on breaks during the school year.” Parlér taught mathematics for 28

years, mainly in middle school grades at public and private schools in North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Before retiring, she served as Curriculum Specialist in Franklin County for more than four years, before retiring in 2013. “I decided that now is the time to work on my dream in honor of my parents, the late Dr. Wavie R. Alston and Minnie Slade Alston,” she said. “My father was a minister and my mother was the consummate minister’s wife. They were huge advocates of education and instilled in their children that education is the key to success.” Zacary Perfitt will serve as principal at the new campus, which

is expected to have more than 500 students initially. Parlér said the mission of the school’s staff is to provide a student-centered learning environment incorporating a challenging curriculum, character development, and personal responsibility in partnership with home and community.

“Not only will we focus on academics, but we will have a moral focus. Each month a different character trait will be spotlighted. Teachers and students will plan activities and programs throughout the school,” Parlér explained. “You will see a lot of student work inside and outside

the classroom related to one of the virtues: Integrity, honesty, perseverance, courage, respect, wisdom, self-control, gratitude and encouragement.” A dedication ceremony is planned shortly after the school’s opening.

Wake Forest’s Future Mayor Vivian Jones Focuses On Supporting Youth, Celebrating the Arts, and Engaging New Residents Vivian Jones began her career in government in 1999, when she was elected to the Wake Forest Board of Commissioners. In 2001, town voters chose her as Mayor – and last year Jones won re-election for a fourth term. Her passion for the community and its residents is clear whenever she talks to groups, or makes appearances, or participates in

countless events and activities around town. In this month’s issue of 919 Magazine, Jones details her priorities for Wake Forest in the next several years, and also offers some thoughts and observations on the key to the town’s future: Supporting young people, celebrating the arts, and engaging the thousands of new residents in Wake Forest.

A Conversation with Wake Forest Mayor Vivian Jones:

What do you enjoy most about living in Wake Forest?

How and why did you decide to enter politics and seek elective office? I have always been involved in my community, wherever I lived. My sister and I worked hard to promote Downtown Wake Forest after we opened our business. An issue came up in the town, and I spoke at a public hearing about it and several people asked me to run for the town board. I did, and was elected. After two years, I decided to run for mayor.

What prompted your decision to run for a fourth term as mayor last year? I believe I have been effective in promoting Wake Forest and helping us become a major player in the Triangle community. I think it is important for us to continue that. We have a lot of work to do, continuing to make our community the best it can be and I want to be a part of that work.

What do you enjoy most about being the Mayor of Wake Forest? I enjoy getting out and meeting the people who live here. I also enjoy hearing why people moved here and what they love about living here.

I like the community “feel” of Wake Forest – the people here work together, they genuinely like each other, and want to help each other. Most of us call this the “small town charm,” and that’s a good way to put it. It seems more like a town of 5,000 instead of 35,000!

What is your personal background? I grew up in Randolph County, NC – one of five children. After one year of college, I was married and we lived in several states (Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, Florida) before returning to NC. I worked as a secretary for four years, until my son was born and then I was a stay-at-home mom until I moved to Wake Forest in 1981. I worked at Variety Wholesalers in Raleigh for 10 years and then my sister, Jonnie, and I opened jovi’s café and catering here in 1991. We had some “form” of jovi’s until 2003, when we retired.

We have a lot of work to do, continuing to make our community the best it can be and I want to be a part of that work. VIVIAN JONES MAYOR, TOWN OF WAKE FOREST

Can you tell us about your family? My son, Bill, and his family live in Grand Rapids, MI, where he is Vice-President of Operations for ConTech Corp. They have three children: Stephen is at Michigan State, Aiden is at Eastern Michigan, and Noah is in middle school. My daughter, Wendy, is Assistant Athletic Director and Sports Information Officer at Meredith College and lives in Clayton.

What do you consider your biggest accomplishments as mayor? In the early years, we had tremendous growth and I think we handled it well. We have tried to be proactive in planning. Specific accomplishments of which I am very proud: the Community Plan, our bus service, E. Carroll Joyner Park, South White Street Streetscape, our AAA bond rating, and the Renaissance Centre.

new life. It is a challenge to make sure they are welcomed and encouraged to engage with us in building our future.

What makes Wake Forest such a good place for people to live? The people! Yes, we have a pretty town, we have most of the amenities we want, we have nice restaurants, shops, entertainment, etc. But the thing that makes this such a good place are the people who speak when you meet on the street, the people who join clubs and work to help others, the people who volunteer for all the events going on in town. All the many ways we help each other and support each other.

What are the greatest challenges facing Wake Forest in the next few years? I believe we have to continue to be conservative in our approach to expanding services and opportunities in Wake Forest. We want to provide the amenities and services that our citizens want, but at the same time we need to be sure we stay on a firm financial footing. The world is constantly changing and we have to continue to look forward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but with caution! We also need to continue to try to engage new residents in the community. They bring a new and welcomed energy, because they are excited about a new place and a 919 Magazine WF

Town of Wake Forest’s Newest “Quality of Life Efforts” Two of the Town of Wake Forest’s newest amenities are the 117-acre E. Carroll Joyner Park at 701 Harris Road and the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre downtown. The community’s largest and newest park, Joyner opened in 2009 on land that was a working farm until the 1940s. Originally known as the Walker Farm, it was purchased by E. Carroll Joyner to raise cattle until the 1990s. In 2003, the Town of Wake Forest purchased the property. Original farm structures were restored and are available for visitors to see. The Wake Forest Renaissance Centre is a multipurpose facility providing visual and performing arts programming for people of all ages, while also serving as a popular venue for a variety of community events. Located in Historic Downtown Wake Forest, the facility “endeavors to contribute to the revitalization of downtown, connect and engage our community through inspiring arts experiences, and contribute to the economic growth and quality of life in our region.”

Why is community involvement so important to you? I am involved in activities and events because I love to get out and meet people and talk to people. But I believe in leading by example; and I firmly believe that if I want our citizens to be involved in our community, I must show them that it is important to me. Before I got into politics – when I attended programs and activities in the community, I always noticed if the mayor or town board members participated. I always questioned whether or not it was important if none of them were there. I decided when I was elected that I should show people they were important and the programs and events they planned and participated in were important by being there myself. I cannot possibly attend every event in Wake Forest, but I do try to go to as many as I can. Everything that happens in Wake Forest is important to me!

Can you tell us about your initiatives involving youth activities, events and art? Our youth are our future – that’s a cliché, but it is true and we have some really smart, interesting, and involved youth in Wake Forest. I think it is important for us to encourage them and support them. The creative economy is a big part of our community – not just artists, but all of those working in creative fields. The creative sector will stimulate business activity and attract tourism especially in the downtown. The creative sector engages citizens and encourages participation in the civic arena and it helps us preserve our heritage for future generations.

You were very involved in opening the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre; why is this facility important? The Wake Forest Renaissance Centre is the beginning of our efforts to provide enhanced artistic and cultural offerings to the community. We have a community that enjoys theater, music, dance, and other cultural programming. I believe it is important for us to have opportunities to participate without having to drive to Raleigh or Durham or somewhere else. It appears the people have embraced the Renaissance Centre and all the possibilities it offers. It is very exciting to “imagine the possibilities.”

If money were no object, what would you do to enhance the Town of Wake Forest? There are so many things I want to do; I don’t think I can choose just one. Complete our Greenway Plan, including the public art piece that is in planning; build a performing arts center; build a new police station; add more downtown enhancements, including more parking and a downtown hotel, several street projects, additional bus service, more park facilities and programs...the list could continue!

What are your personal goals for the town in the next 3-4 years? First of all, I will emphasize following our Strategic Plan. As a part of that, personally, I will be working on completing the Renaissance Centre and expanding our cultural offerings and programming. I will continue to work on economic development, trying to bring more employment opportunities for our citizens; and I will continue to work on transportation issues – especially Capital Boulevard and how Wake Forest will connect to the Triangle through transit initiatives.

What is your long-term vision for Wake Forest? My vision is to fulfill the Community Plan, which includes, I believe, for us to become a community that embraces diversity; that has interesting jobs that make our kids want to live here; and be a community that is affordable, walk-able, and well-cared for. 919 Magazine WF

Is your head on straight? The Atlas Orthogonal technique focuses on your atlas, the top bone in your neck. If the atlas is tilted and/or rotated, it can decrease nerve and blood supply to the head. Common symptoms include chronic tiredness, dizziness, headaches, insomnia, neck pain, migraines and nervousness. The adjustment itself is very gentle and does NOT require any popping, cracking or twisting.

WF Museum To Host Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit Wake Forest Historical Museum will display a special traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution next year. Hometown Teams, an exhibit that shows the roles of athletes and sports fans alike – and how those roles have been engrained into society as a whole, includes all areas of athletics and explores the role of sports as they helped to shape aspects of art, food, music, film and architecture. “There are items linked to the cultural history of sports, such as the iconic Wheaties box, Air Jordan basketball shoes, baseball cards and the Soccer Barbie, based on UNC’s Mia Hamm,” WFHM Executive Director Ed Morris said. Morris indicated the local institution will use the opportunity to display unseen artifacts from the museum’s own collection. “A traveling sports 32

exhibit with displays and artifacts at the sophisticated level offered by the Smithsonian Institution seemed an ideal opportunity to reach out to the broader community and simultaneously expand upon the history of Wake Forest athletics,” he said.

Jannie Chaffin, a member of the Guest Services Volunteer Committee, made the announcement in April during the town’s 4th Annual Guest Services Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre. In presenting the award, Chaffin acknowledged Thomas’ “volunteer spirit,” along with her willingness to volunteer during the “lunch shift,” which is typically town hall’s most hectic time of day. Chaffin also recognized Thomas’ contribution of nearly 400 volunteer hours since the program’s inception in 2010. Approximately 50 volunteers and Wake Forest staff attended the luncheon, that also included remarks by Mayor Vivian Jones and Town Manager Mark Williams. The Guest Services Volunteer of the Year Award is named in honor of Michealle BozmanBarton, who was instrumental in establishing the town’s guest services program in 2010 and continues to serve as the program’s volunteer coordinator. Previous winners of the award include Rosa Miller-Boykin (2011), Rob Rooney (2012), and Carolyn Cort Griffin (2013). May | June 2014

919 | COMMUNITY Wake forest Mayor Focuses on the Positive in Annual Address to Town “Let’s stop concentrating on the negative,” Wake Forest Mayor Vivian Jones told the crowd at the annual State of the Town Address and Dinner earlier this year. “Let’s go forward united in joy and expectation for what is ahead.” Jones’ remarks were delivered at the annual event presented by the Wake Forest Rotary Club at the Renaissance Centre. Prior to dinner, which was catered by Stephens Catering, Heritage High School Jazz Ensemble provided music and entertainment. Parker and Meadows Winters led the Pledge of Allegiance, and the invocation was by Rev. Rebekah Maul of the Wake Forest Presbyterian Church. Brian Pat served as Master of Ceremonies. Jones focused on the positive during her presentation to the crowd after dinner. “How wonderful our community can be if it is a place apart from angst and anger. We must speak the truth, but speak the truth in love, not demeaning or hurtful or disrespectful,” she said. “We must build one another up — everything we say should be to build up our neighbor and our community.”

919 | BUSINESS PROFILE

Hearing Healthcare on a Personal Level Wake Audiology & Hearing Aid Associates Offers A Relaxed Environment and Comprehensive Care Dr. Catherine Marquis wanted to open a practice that provided hearing care for patients on a more personal level – where she could get to know her patients and their specific concerns in a relaxed environment. An Audiologist, she opened Wake Audiology & Hearing Aid Associates in Wake Forest in 2005 after working in ENT (Ears, Nose and Throat) physician offices for 22 years. “We understand the impact hearing loss has on our patients and their families,” Dr. Marquis said. “It affects them emotionally and often creates tension in those relationships.” Today Dr. Marquis and her staff offer realistic expectations for how much assistance a hearing aid can provide, as well as long-term hearing healthcare on a more personal level. “Our personal service and attention to detail are what set us apart,” she stressed. “We want patients to know we appreciate them and that they are in good hands with us.” Wake Audiology offers not only hearing aids, but total hearing healthcare – working closely with area physicians to not only treat hearing issues, but to maintain the health of their patients’ ears.

Wake Audiology is located at 1954 S. Main St. in Wake Forest. For information, call 919-570-8311, email info@wakeaudiology.com, or visit www.WakeAudiology.com.

Being an independent practice, Wake Audiology has the ability to work with most hearing aid manufacturers to give patients the best possible solution, “no matter how simple or complex their lifestyle may be.” “We want our patients to enjoy the best possible hearing throughout their lifetime,” Dr. Marquis said. “We teach them how to protect their hearing, and we look at diet and lifestyle factors that may affect their hearing.” Dr. Marquis said that patient education is important to the success of any solution. She said that along with providing treatment for hearing loss, she and her staff provide strategies to improve communication to both patients and their families. “Patients come to us looking to improve their quality of life,” she explained. “They’re not hearing confidently at work, home and in social situations and they may be feeling embarrassed, isolated, frustrated and even depressed.” Hearing loss, according to Dr. Marquis, is typically more complex to treat because hearing losses are “nerve” losses. “We help patients and families understand that verbal communication is a very complex process, with the ear as the starting point, sending information along the central pathway through the brainstem and into the brain for processing,” said Dr. Marquis, who received her BA in Speech and Hearing Science and MA in Audiology at Louisiana State University, and her Doctor of Audiology degree from University of Florida. Wake Audiology’s services include tinnitus (the condition that causes a ringing or roaring sensation) evaluations and its treatment options; hearing protection for all activities; and comprehensive hearing evaluations – as well as hearing aids in a wide range of technologies and prices.

Five Simple Tips to Ensure Healthier Skin By DIANE MACK

Licensed Esthetician, Oncology Certified Esthetician

Wise choices can help skin stay healthy. Here are five simple tips to maintain healthier skin. • Cleanse: Use a high quality cleanser for your skin type. Avoid such chemicals as sodium laurel sulfate, parabens and triclosan. • Toner: This helps to balance and condition skin. Beware of chemicals that tend to dry the skin, such as astringents and certain alcohol-based agents. • Expoliate: This should be a mild to moderate process and not everyday even if your skin has oily tendencies. Always err on the side of gentle, because too much of this can be damaging. Special Advertising Section

• Moisturize: This process involves more than an external product application. It must contain an internal moisturizing component. Water is the best. • Sun protection: Educate yourself; it’s your skin. Some sunscreens contain chemicals that have been shown to cause long-term damage to your DNA. Remember your lip balm, natural ingredients free from petroleum products. Visit a licensed esthetician for a complete evaluation of your skin. Diane Mack is a licensed esthetician practicing holistic skin care therapies utilizing organic and natural products free from parabens, and harsh chemicals.
