Welcome to the August/September issue of 919 Magazine-North Raleigh/Six Forks/Creedmoor Rd/Falls of Neuse. This issue marks our one-year anniversary for the 919 Magazine’s North Raleigh Edition and we couldn’t be more excited. What a great place to live, work and play in the 919! Collectively, 919 Magazine — which publishes six separate editions along the I-540 corridor from Wake Forest to Morrisville/ RTP — is reaching people and they are responding. More than 107,500 homes and businesses now are receiving a local version of 919 Magazine in their mailboxes. Thanks for catching our ball and running with it! We kick off our one-year anniversary issue by celebrating with one of my favorite sports: Football. The tailgating, the pep rallies, the food, friends and rivalries. What could be a bigger rivalry than our very own Millbrook High School and Sanderson High School? Two teams steeped in tradition right here in North Raleigh. 919 Magazine sits down with both coaches to get the details on the 2013 Cap 8 Conference season. Also catch these interesting features in this special issue: • We introduce Julia Meder, a Horatio Alger Scholarship recipient who’s on her way to UNC-Chapel Hill this fall. This Sanderson High graduate has an inspiring story, beginning on Page 14. • A profile of Ben and Susan Thompson, who are both dentists by day – and parents all the time. They keep life full of family and friends, and readers can visit with them on Page 18. • We also visit with Luke Miles of Durant Middle School, the 2013 Wake County Public School Teacher of the Year. Look for his impactful profile on Page 20. And there is so much more in this issue, but be sure to take a break at halftime to catch our local field trip – a heart pumping, high speed racing adventure at the Orange County Speedway (Page 38). Thank you to each and every one of our friends and advertisers in 919 Magazine-North Raleigh Edition. Your support, feedback and spirit have propelled our team to the end zone and nothing makes us happier than scoring a touchdown for you.

For commitment, dedication and character, Meder Secures a Horatio Alger Scholarship By STEPHANIE FRIEDL 919 Magazine Writer
Inspiring. Courageous. Caring. Sanderson High School graduate Julia Meder is all that and more. And for her commitment to education, dedication to community service, and strength of character in overcoming personal obstacles to achieve academic excellence, she is a 2013 Horatio Alger North Carolina Scholarship recipient. “I was shocked and honored to be one out of thirteen recipients in North Carolina,” said Meder. Meder plans to use the scholarship money to help pay for tuition, books, and room and board at UNC-Chapel Hill, where she will attend this fall. “As the oldest public university in the nation and one of the best institutions in North Carolina, the choice to apply to UNC was a must,” said Meder. With a plan to double major in public relations and public policy, Meder hopes to eventually move to Washington, DC, to represent politicians and manage a political campaign. An exceptionally accomplished student and dancer, Meder has held leadership positions and received recognition for a wide range of activities and clubs, including the Technology Student Association, school newspaper, student council, Junior Marshal, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church’s youth leadership team, Concert Dancers of Raleigh and Dancer’s Studio, and National Honor Society – for which she served as president her senior year. Meder credits Sanderson High for providing the opportunities and her dad, 14

Paul Meder, for serving as her inspiration. “He is a hardworking, dedicated, intelligent, kind, faithful, funny, and a little bit sarcastic man who carries selflessness with him in all aspects of life,” said Meder. “He’s always there when I August | September 2013
need him, and his loving way of living his life serves as inspiration in my life.” With an exceptional blend of intelligence, common sense, and compassion for others – along with a wonderful sense of humor and fierce www.919Magazine.com

determination to achieve the best possible results in all of her endeavors – Meder is no doubt destined for greatness. “She undoubtedly got half of that from her birth mother, Alice Lewis Meder, who died when Julia was an infant, and credit for the other half goes to the only mother she ever knew, Karen Cooper Meder, who died when Julia was 16,” said dad Paul. “Her sister Ellen and I couldn’t be more proud of her.”

Adam Gottsegen was surprised when he first visited the Rotary Club of North Raleigh. “I think people have a misperception about Rotary and other service organizations,” the Raleigh attorney and community volunteer said. “I was certainly surprised to see how involved, committed, and dedicated these individuals were to making the world a better place.” Apparently Gottsegen was not only surprised, but also impressed – because he became president (he’s now immediate past president) of the North Raleigh group, which meets at 12:30 p.m. every Wednesday at the Sertoma Arts Center on West Millbrook. He’s also committed to the success of Rotary in North Raleigh. “I strive to continue the success our club has had and our positive impact in the community,” he stressed. “We are always looking for new ways to raise money to allow us to support other worthy organizations in our community and beyond that are helping others. I also look to continue and strengthen the partnerships we already have with the Frankie Lemmon Foundation, the North Carolina Food Bank, and the Boys and Girls Club.” Rotary Club of North Raleigh began in 1967 with 37 members, when first-year President Lyman Kiser received the group’s charter from Rotary International. Gottsegen joined the club in 2005, becoming www.919Magazine.com

other school supplies to impoverished children,” he said. “We have had several members take trips to the country to meet the students and assist in their schools.” Gottsegen is a married father of 4-year-old twins, but finds time for significant involvement in serving the community. As a Rotary member, he assists with the club’s Rotary Youth Scholarship Awards program, packaging meals for delivery to third world countries, chairing the Adopt-a-Highway effort to clean local roadsides, and chairing the Ed Shook Golf Tournament to benefit the Frankie Lemmon Foundation. And he encourages other local residents to join him. “Come visit a Rotary meeting and get involved!” he said. “We have lunch catered by Neomonde and have a great speaker every week.

Thompsons’ Life Full Of Family, And Caring for Their Patients By STEPHANIE FRIEDL 919 Magazine Writer
For the Thompson family of North Ridge, life is full of family and caring for their patients as owners of Thompson and Thompson, DDS, PA, in Brier Creek. Ben and Susan met in 1999 while interviewing at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry. They married five years later, welcomed son Benjamin – now 2 years old – and currently work side-by-side at their family dental practice in Brier Creek. Following graduation from dental school, the Thompsons moved to Susan’s hometown, where Susan worked for her childhood dentist while Ben joined a practice in Gastonia. “After a year, we realized that we wanted to work together and that we really wanted to return to the Triangle,” said Susan. So, in 2006, they made the move and opened their practice in May of that same year. 18

These days, when not busy caring for patients, Ben and Susan love spending time together as a family, taking walks or swimming in the pool. Ben is a golfer and loves to ski, travel, and support NC State athletics. Susan spends her free time cooking and reading, as well as skiing and traveling as a family.
And when it comes to family, the Thompsons favorite past time is spending time with their extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins at family gatherings. In fact, family is the reason Ben developed his initial interest in dentistry, as his father is a retired dentist. Susan planned for a

career in medicine, and while working summers shadowing her childhood dentist, she fell in love with dentistry – discovering a career focused on helping people improve their health that also accommodated a family friendly schedule. For many married couples, the spouse’s workday is a mystery, but not for the Thompsons, who derive tremendous
satisfaction from building their successful practice together. With Susan handling the operational aspects of the office and Ben managing the clinical side, they understand their roles and make a great team both at work and at home. “At home, we both have an equal share of the household duties and stay very busy with a young child and two dogs,” said Susan.

Luke Miles Carries On His Family’s Lineage of Accomplished Educators By STEPHANIE FRIEDL 919 Magazine Writer
Teaching runs in Luke Miles’ family. As a fourth generation educator, Miles is carrying on his family’s lineage of accomplished educational professionals; in fact, his great grandmother taught English at Cary High School. Drawing inspiration from his large and extended family, Miles attended NC State earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in education. Now, an 8th Grade social studies teacher at Durant Road Middle School, Miles was not only recognized as Durant’s Teacher of the Year, but as Teacher
of the Year for all of the Wake County Public School System. “I was incredibly overwhelmed and honored,” said Miles. “I never thought that out of 9,000 amazing teachers, I would be recognized with this award.” Working with young students and helping them develop the skills they need to be successful is what Miles cites as most rewarding. “It’s a lot of fun to see my 8th Graders develop from the beginning of the year to the end,” said Miles. Miles and his wife Caroline, who teaches 6th Grade social studies – also at Durant – live in Wake Forest and love the small town feel, while having Raleigh right down the
road. “I love that Raleigh and Wake Forest offer a little bit of everything from fun to family to church to college and professional sports,” said Miles. The couple extends their passion for serving and educating youth as directors of children’s

They are also active in the church’s young adult group, and Miles serves as an adult advisor on a statewide youth board called the Regional Cabinet for Youth Work, whose purpose is to help youth develop leadership qualities so they are able to serve their local churches and lead statewide youth retreats and summer camps. Miles believes a successful school is a well-built community where all stakeholders are involved and enjoys being a part of that community at Durant. “I have learned so much from other teachers at my school,” said Miles. “Durant has helped to influence and mold me into the teacher I am today.”

The event – which raises funds for grants to assist infertility patients in affording costly procedures – will have a Denim & Diamonds theme. “This year, guests can relax about if they are wondering what to wear, since they can wear their favorite jeans,” said North Raleigh’s Lori Moscato, the foundation’s founder and chair, noting that tickets are $150 per person. “Ticket price includes entry to the event, auctions, cocktails and appetizers, a full sit down dinner, drinks, and dancing at the end of the evening.” Moscato said this year’s event is different than any other year, since it is the 5th Anniversary. “This year we will be featuring a wine wall, silent and live auctions, and surprise game that goes with our theme,” she said, adding that all monies donated to the foundation go directly to our grant program. “This is a wonderful foundation that truly makes you feel good about giving. These patients have lost all hope in having a family. To bring hope to a patient is overwhelming, and then to follow them on their journey and be able to hold this miracle child is a feeling that is indescribable,” Moscato said. “I would encourage readers to come out to this one-time-a-year event; it will for sure be an enjoyable evening, and one that they will never forget.” Tickets can be purchased at www.payitforwardfertility.org.

Restoring Quality of Life, One Smile at a Time Dr. Phillip McIver Dedicated to Quality Oral Care Brier Creek Center for Implant and Oral Surgery cares for patients with cutting edge and compassionate comprehensive oral surgery services. With a mission to “restore quality of life, one smile at a time,” Dr. McIver is dedicated to his work as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon while upholding Christian values. “A smile is a gift, something so simple, free, yet powerful and beneficial to the giver – as well as the receiver,” he said. “The many services we offer within the scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery give us the opportunity to truly restore quality of life to individuals.” Dr. McIver settled on establishing his practice in Brier Creek by way of Alabama, California, and New York. “As a family, we moved to Brier Creek in 2007 and had the best year of our lives,” said Dr. McIver. “The convenience, the newness of it all was perfect.” Throughout his career in North Carolina, Dr. McIver managed the oral surgery services of over seven satellite offices and owned two oral surgery practices. Now, at the Brier Creek Center for Implant and Oral Surgery, Dr. McIver considers it a rewarding privilege to improve the overall health of his patients through services including: • Wisdom tooth removal, extraction of decayed 32

teeth, removal of teeth necessary for the completion of orthodontic treatment. • Advanced dental implant tooth replacement. • Preparation of the jaws for tooth replacement options, which may involve procedures such as minor or extensive bone grafting, reconstruction, or soft tissue grafting. • Diagnosis and treatment of diseases and tumors of the jaws. • Surgical procedures necessary to correct malformations of the jaws. • Treatment of trauma to the face and jaws. • Cone beam diagnostic imaging. With quality care a top priority, Dr. McIver places value in training and maintaining his expert support team, who are well regarded for their kindness and compassion. “They are the best of the best in my opinion, due to their experience, hard work, ethics, and most of all the ability to interact with patients in a way that has patients commenting on how great my staff is,” said Dr. McIver. From office ambiance and compassionate patient interaction to expert surgical skill, Dr. McIver said his staff offers nothing but their personal best.

He seems to have found it at Sanderson High School, where the Spartans are coming off a 2-9 campaign in 2012 and have not made the playoffs since 2008. At Cary, he ran up a 65-46 record and shared the Tri-Nine Conference Championship in 2005. He answered question for 919 Magazine readers about his team and the upcoming season.

A Conversation with Ben Kolstad, Head Football Coach at Sanderson High School
What are your goals for the team this season?
What are your goals for the team this season?
My goals are that we will work harder than we ever have and grow as a team. I want to see our players learn to trust and count on one another. To achieve this, we plan to hold one another accountable. “Every set in the weight room is a play in the football game; and every ‘rep’ on the track, is a play on the football field,” so I encourage the players to put forth their best efforts. We need to make sure we are playing to our full potential, not just for ourselves, but for the team. This philosophy is not only essential to the games, but pertinent to every other aspect of one’s life.
Our goal is to get better every day; and hopefully, as the season progresses, we will have an opportunity to compete for a conference title and compete in the state playoffs. We also expect to be respected as a physical and disciplined football team.
What is the team’s biggest challenge going into this season? The biggest challenge is mental. We must learn to be tougher and to compete on a daily basis. This can be accomplished by pushing the team to perform beyond their limits. As a team we need to give more during practice and training, and when we think we’ve done enough – we push to give one more until we just can’t give anymore. I would like to see the team get to the point where we’ve pushed ourselves to the limit so CONTINUED, PAGE 36
What is the team’s biggest challenge going into this season? Learning quickly. Everything is new this season: Offense, defense, terminology and attitude.
Who are you expecting to lead the team this year? Our senior class and returning varsity players.
Which newcomers are you expecting to contribute this year? All of them. We need all players to step up and play their role for us to be successful.
What is the team’s offensive strategy for this year? We want to be physical, disciplined CONTINUED, PAGE 37

at my former high school, Millbrook High. I began my coaching career at Hickory, NC, in 1993 – and in 2001, I was presented with the opportunity to coach at MHS.
What is your analysis of the Cap 8
What do you enjoy most about coaching?
Conference this season? Cap 8 is a tough Conference with a lot of talented teams and good coaching. This year one of the important things is staying healthy, because last season we had a lot of injuries that set us back in the conference. Additionally, we’ve learned from our mistakes last year and we have lots of experienced players returning; therefore, we should be able to play the whole four quarters and finish off the games.
How and why did you get into coaching? My high school coach, Earl Smith, was a huge influence in my life. The way he interacted with kids and the way he drove us to be better on the field, resonated with me throughout my college career as an athlete. I, too, wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, just as he did. I love the game of football and although I knew I was not going to play professionally, I wanted to stay involved with the sport even after I graduated. Majoring in physical education, my goal was to return to my roots and coach
It is a great feeling to watch these young men succeed on and off the field. I enjoy watching the kids develop and become successful young men, not just on the field, but in their everyday lives. Part of my job is to guide them in the right direction and be that positive influence in their lives. The relationships that we develop last forever. I’ve had many former players come back to assist in coaching, or just to visit. It is very gratifying to know that I have made positive influences and am still involved in lives of my players even after they graduate and move forward.
What kind of support does the MHS student body provide the team? Our Maniacs are awesome! They are very supportive of the team. They take pride in coming to the games dressed up, cheering loud and showing true school spirit.

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
I enjoy the interactions with the players and the coaches. It is like a second family. Seeing a kid develop confidence and achieve things they didn’t know was possible is very rewarding.
What kind of support does the SHS student body provide the team?
We are adopting the slogan: “Together We Win”. We feel that teachers, administration and the student body have an impact on how the team does. The support has been tremendous since I joined the Spartan Family in January. Football is unique in that it kind of kicks off the school year. We hope to generate an excitement in our school.
What can parents and fans do to assist and support the team?
Believe in the players, believe in the coaches and believe in our program.

‘The Fastest 3/8-mile Race Track in America’
Orange County Speedway Features A Rich History, ‘Grassroots’ Racing It’s called “grassroots” car racing. It’s called “the fastest 3/8-mile race track in America.” It’s called Orange County Speedway. And it’s only a short drive from the Leesville area. “This is where short-track racing is done right,” said Terry Deal, General Manager and Race Director. “Orange County Speedway is a good family atmosphere, as well as a good learning and growing venue for drivers to start racing.” Located on the site of the original Trico Motor Speedway built in the early 1960s, the venue originally opened as a dirt track – but is currently a high-banked (16 degree straightaways and 19 degree turns), asphalt oval track. The track averages 50 feet wide, which offers plenty of room for side-by-side racing among competitors. The speedway has a rich history, being one of the first tracks in the region to feature live televised Busch (now Nationwide) races. Some of the great Winston Cup drivers (and now Sprint Cup) drivers have competed at the facility, including Jimmy Johnson, Bobby Labonte, Todd Bodine and Jeff and Ward Burton. According to Deal, Dale Jarrett won his first Busch race

at OCS and Jeff Gordon won his first career Busch pole position at OCS in 1991. The facility has new aluminum bleachers installed, offering grandstand seating that follows the curvature of the track, along the front, from turn four to turn one. “This means there is an excellent view of the track from every seat,” said Deal. “Our future plans call for redesigning the concession stands, and remodeling VIP Tower seating to theater-style seating.” Among the unique aspects of Orange County Speedway are the special events. “Our special events include car shows, kids night, ladies night and more,” Deal said. “We also have opportunities

for fans to meet drivers and view the cars up close on some occasions.” The special “Bologna Burger” is also unique – a thick slab of fried bologna on a bun, with a choice of condiments. Races are every second and fourth Saturdays of the month, April through October. Admission to the track is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and youths age 11-17, and $1 for children 10 and under. “We offer a good night of action racing,” Deal noted. “And we appreciate our loyal fans and friends who appreciate good racing. At Orange County Speedway, we want the fans to have a sense of belonging to the sport.”
This is where short-track racing is done right. TERRY DEAL

Plenty of Romance in North Raleigh Author’s New Book Set in 1851 London, An Heiress at Heart is the story of Lizzie Poole, a woman with a past who masquerades as a missing heiress in order to discover the truth about her own identity. Along the way she falls in love with the one man whom, in her new identity, she could never marry. It puts everyone in quite a quandary. Written by Jennifer Delamere – North Raleigh resident since 1995 – the paperback book was selected by Grand Central Publishing as its first inspirational romance for the Forever imprint. “There is plenty of romance, but no graphic love scenes,” said Delamere, who is an editorial assistant at Measurement Inc., a local company that provides achievement tests and scoring services for public and private schools, other testing companies, and various organizations. “The inspirational elements are woven into the story in a subtle and I believe very palatable way. It is suitable for teens on up.”
involved with Romance Writers of America. “I joined the Heart of Carolina Romance Writers organization and discovered a wonderful organization for mentoring and supporting writers – teaching all aspects of the writer’s craft and the business of publishing,” she said. “I learned not only how to write a good book, but how to sell it as well.” An Heiress at Heart is Delamere’s first published novel, and part of a trilogy (the second book, A Lady Most Lovely, will be released in September). It has received good reviews from readers and reviewers, according to Delamere – and was nominated for the Romance Writers of America 2013 RITA award— the highest award for romance fiction. “It has been gratifying to see such a positive response,” Delamere said. “I believe it fills a particular niche for readers who perhaps feel that inspirational fiction is too tame, but mainstream romances are too spicy! My goal was to tell a great story with relatable characters, flavored with the joy and sizzle of romance and a happy ending.” For more information on Delamere, visit www.jenniferdelamere.com or look for her on Facebook or Twitter.
Available at Barnes & Noble and other bookstores and websites, the book has 432 pages and retails for $5.99. Daughter of a U.S. Navy pilot who eventually settled in Savannah, GA, Delamere feels she inherited her writing skills from her mother – who was a journalist. She decided to write the book about five years ago when attending a screenwriting seminar and meeting several women

Even though it’s a challenge with everyone’s busy schedule, Gardner said she tries to cook at least three or four weeknights. “This recipe is a great one to throw into the mix because it’s quick and simple,” she said. “I can throw it together in about 30 min. Just steam some broccoli, or add your favorite veggie and a salad and dinner is done.” When not cooking and making forecasts, the North Carolina native and married mother of two enjoys biking, kayaking, hiking and reading. She holds degrees in both geoscience and journalism.

Stay Safe Out There This Summer As the summertime fun picks up, so do temperatures and injuries. With the kids out of school, families at play, and everyone taking vacations, having fun can be dangerous for your health! Here are a few tips to keep the family safe and happy this season.
Water Safety Staying safe in and around water is usually accomplished with common sense – especially if alcohol is left out of the equation. It’s not just kids who are in danger of drowning or other water-related injury; adults, usually focused on keeping kids safe, fail to take appropriate precautions for themselves. Residents with pools or spas at home should follow the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission’s suggestions, available at www.cpsc.gov. To stay safe in and around bodies of water, here are some safety tips to follow when fishing, boating, or just soaking it in: • Learn to swim. For a list of swimming classes at Wake County community centers, visit www.raleighnc.gov. • Follow the rules. When swimming in a designated area, know and adhere to the posted regulations. • Do not swim in irrigation or drainage canals (many may have strong currents or could contain pesticides or fertilizers that can cause reactions in swimmers).
• Know the swimming area — the shallows and the hazards. • Only dive when the area is clear and deep enough. If uncertain, always enter the water feet first (jump or walk in). • Stay sober. Alcohol and drugs affect balance, judgment, coordination, swimming skills, and the body’s ability to stay warm. • Learn CPR. To take a class visit: www.redcross.org/nc/raleigh/take-a-class. • Add ICE (“In Case of Emergency”) to your cell phone contact list (with number and name of a family member). It’s a clever way for emergency personnel to locate family if something goes wrong.
Dehydration When the body has lost too much fluid and electrolytes, it results dehydration – especially in children. Although water is extremely important in preventing dehydration, it does not contain electrolytes. Sports drinks, soups, fruit juices, soft fruits and vegetables can help restore sodium and potassium. If a victim of dehydration has low blood pressure or a very rapid pulse, they may need medical attention and intravenous fluids; and if an individual shows confusion, dizziness or weakness, call 911 immediately.
Sunburn
• Know children’s abilities, and don’t allow them to swim in water more than chest deep unless competent to do so. • If a child swallows water and can talk — but is uncomfortable and in mild distress — medical professionals recommend going to an urgent care facility. Excessive water in the lungs can pose a serious condition when a child goes to sleep.
Most damaging hours for sun exposure are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so avoid this timeframe or take shade breaks often. If moderate burning occurs, take a cool shower or bath, apply aloe or another cooling agent, and take over-the-counter pain reliever (do not apply butter). If burn is more severe or includes extensive blistering, visit an emergency room for treatment.
• Be aware of the dangerous “toos”: Too tired, too drunk, too much sun, too far from safety, too much strenuous activity.

Snakebites
To avoid snakebites:
Snakebites can be deadly, so it’s important to react quickly. If emergency medical services can be reached, request help through 911; or, if in a remote area, get the victim to medical care as quickly as possible. Be aware antivenin serums are typically available in emergency rooms, not urgent care centers. The 919 area is home to a couple of different species of venomous snakes. According to David Allsbrook, manager at WakeMed Brier Creek Healthplex, the most common snakebites they see are from copperheads and water moccasins – which they treat with the antivenin Crofab. “We find with Crofab that our patients do not get such a big reaction,” he said. “Thankfully most of the snakes around here are not as venomous; however, they still pose a very real threat especially to children and older adults.” Allsbrook stressed the importance of common sense and watching the ground when walking. “As this area continues to grow, we are moving into rural areas where there used to be farmlands – and now it is residential,” he said. “With so many critters it is only expected we will see more and more of these types of injuries.” In the case of a bite, call 911 immediately. Doctors recommend not elevating the wound (keep the bite below the level of the heart) or attempting to cut the bite area or suck out the venom.
919 Magazine NR
• • • • • •
Wear long pants and boots taller than the ankle. Avoid tall brush and deep, dark crevices. Make plenty of noise and vibration while walking. Do not approach snakes; avoid them. Do not expect rattlesnakes to make any noises. If the snake is dead, bringing it to the hospital is appropriate (but be careful, as dead snakes can reflexively bite for up to an hour). • It’s not that important to identify the snake; medical crews in areas prone to snake bites can often identify the animal just from the wound.

A Commitment to Bee Health Bayer CropScience Plans State-of-the-Art Facility at RTP Site Construction is under way on Bayer CropScience’s North American Bee Care Center, a 6,000 sq. ft. facility in Research Triangle Park. Housed in the Bee Care Center will be a full laboratory and teaching apiary; honey extraction and workshop space; interactive learning center; and meeting, training and presentation facilities for beekeepers, farmers and educators, as well as office space for graduate students. “At Bayer, we have been committed to bee health for more than 25 years,” said Jim Blome, President and CEO of Bayer CropScience LP. “The Bee Care Center is the latest example of our dedication to sustainable agriculture, and we hope to continue to provide the research necessary to ensure the health of colonies and honey bees around the world. Our scientists are working to help solve some of the most pressing honey bee health problems, as their importance to the global food supply cannot be overstated.”
Although the North American Bee Care Center will have its own honeybee colonies for teaching and demonstration purposes, the facility will be supported by other research apiaries located nearby – to coordinate and extend research projects directed toward bee health. The Bee Care Center, a hub to promote worldwide bee health initiatives, will serve to support scientific research and help educate stakeholders and the general public about the importance of honey bees to agriculture by providing pollination of crops that help meet the growing global demand for a nutritious and abundant food supply. In its recent comprehensive assessment on honey bee health, the U.S. Department of Agriculture noted that bees are suffering from a complex set of stressors, including parasites and diseases, lack of genetic diversity, and
inadequate nutrition, while stressing the need for collaboration and information sharing among all stakeholders as a critical component in promoting best management practices. The North American Bee Care Center is being created with these goals in mind. Bayer CropScience is also expanding its Clayton research apiary, known as “Beesboro,” to include an approximately 1,200-square-foot building with an
office, a wintering cold room, extraction area, bee hive maintenance area and storage areas. This facility is expected to be operational in late summer 2013. For more information, visit www.bayercropscience.us/

A new report ranks Raleigh as the second best city in the U.S. to launch a new small business, trailing only Atlanta in the calculations. Factors considered ranged from funding availability to a local economic health. “(Raleigh) is highly educated (with almost half the population having a college degree) and the cost of living is very low,” the report said. “Research is a huge industry in Raleigh, and the presence of Duke and UNC nearby contributes talent to the job pool.” Following Raleigh in the rankings were Austin, TX; Tulsa, OK; Oklahoma City, OK; Tampa, FL; Seattle, WA; Minneapolis, MN; Houston, TX; and Omaha, NB.
