Wacko for the Wolverines Young WHS Football Team Seeks Consistency in 2013 www.919Magazine.com

Suzy Beth Sarver
Wacko for the Wolverines Welcome to the August/ September issue of 919 MagazineWakefield Plantation/Falls Lake. We kick off this edition with a special package on one of my favorite sports: Football. The tailgating, the pep rallies, the food, friends and rivalries. What could be more fun than a profile on the hometown team? 919 Magazine gets “Wacko for the Wolverines” and sits down with Wakefield High School Head Football Coach Rod Sink. Be sure to read about his plan for this young Wolverine team in the upcoming tough Cap 8 Conference season, beginning on Page 26. Be sure to check out these interesting stories too: • We introduce Wakefield’s Truman Family on Page 10. Shelley, Kyle and baby Emily exhibit a true zest for life and enjoy experiencing “all things Carolina”. • Our student profile features WHS track star Tyra Lea, who is now headed for NC State. An academic scholar and an amazing athlete, her story begins on Page 16. • Find out why Paul Daly, a volunteer at Rex Wellness Center of Wakefield, is considered a treasure to all those who know and work with him. Find out why by reading Stephanie Friedl’s profile of the 78-year-old former Marine on Page 12. • Don’t miss the informative feature on Pleasant Union Elementary Teacher Keri Woronka, the school’s Teacher of the Year. She talks about her efforts to integrate technology into the classroom — and reveals details on her teaching philosophy. It’s on Page 14. There is so much more in this issue, but be sure to take a break at half time to catch our local field trip – a heart pumping, high speed auto racing adventure at the Orange County Speedway (Page 38). 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! Your praise, feedback and spirit have propelled our team to the end zone and nothing makes us happier than scoring a touchdown for you.

Zest for Life
Wakefield’s Truman Family Leads Busy, Fun-Filled Lifestyle By STEPHANIE FRIEDL 919 Magazine Writer
Wakefield family Kyle and Shelley Truman lead busy funfilled lives as working parents to baby Emily, who turns one in October. The Trumans have an infectious zest for life, which they love to share with family and friends. And whether it’s a get-away to the mountains or beach, rooting for their favorite teams – the New York Yankees and NC State – or cooking and grilling, they believe the more the merrier. “We love going tubing or kayaking on the New River in the mountains of Fleetwood, NC,” said Shelley. “When we can, we take a quick family trip up there and bring along friends or family.” By day, Kyle, a business and 10

finance major at North Carolina State University, works with a great team at Robert Half Technology as a senior recruiting manager. Shelley, who graduated with a degree in business and leadership at Peace College, is the ethics coordinator at the American Institute of CPAs, where she enjoys event planning. The couple met through mutual friends and dated for several years before tying the knot on 9-10-11 at Bayleaf Baptist, their home church. The Trumans appreciate their family-friendly neighborhood for the many conveniences and friends, and love to get out exercising and walking with Emily and their beloved fourlegged “baby”, Pinnie, named for the pinstripes of the Yankees’ uniforms. And with Shelley’s August | September 2013

Emily has the good fortune to be the first grandchild on Shelley’s side and the first granddaughter on Kyle’s side of the families. “Emily is our light and joy of every day,” said Shelley. “She is truly a blessing and that sweet huge smile makes every day a perfect day.” With Emily not yet one, the Trumans have many “firsts” to look forward to, but admit they are especially looking forward to the day they can take Emily to her first Yankees and NC State games.

Volunteer Paul Daly Enjoys Meeting People, Contributing to Rex Success By STEPHANIE FRIEDL 919 Magazine Writer
Considered a treasure by those who know and work with him, Paul Daly happily dedicates his time serving the staff and members at the Rex Wellness Center of Wakefield. “The best part of my work is meeting some great people,” said Daly. “I have an opportunity to meet all kinds of people, including World War II veterans who all have very interesting stories to tell.” Rex Healthcare, a member of UNC Health Care, is a private, not-forprofit health care system with seven locations throughout Wake County. The Wellness Center of Wakefield is Rex’s newest state-of-the-art facility, providing top-notch fitness equipment, pools, programs, and amenities to the community in northern Wake County. As one of the 41 volunteers who contribute to its success, Daly’s duties include answering phones, passing on messages to staff, and scheduling appointments for members. “Paul is an integral part of what we do and keeps us on our toes,” said Jessica Tucker, 12

operations manager. “He is warm and friendly and helps everyone remember to lighten-up and enjoy the day.” Daly, originally from Gardner, MA, is a long time Crosswinds resident, husband of 57 years to wife Lucille, and father to three grown children: Mary Jane in Michigan, and Paula and Thomas in Raleigh. A retired manufacturing manager, Daly served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a sergeant from 1952 to 1955 and attended college at Fitchburg State University in Massachusetts. Nowadays, other than his volunteer work, Daly enjoys, in his words, “training to be a test pilot for the National Lazyboy Recliner Association.”

Technology in the Classroom
Pleasant Union’s Woronka Still Strives for Improvement
I set goals for myself in all areas of my life, and persevere until the goals are met. KERI WORONKA
By G. CLEVELAND KILGORE 919 Magazine Writer
When Keri Woronka received her Master’s involving the integration of technology into the classroom, she anxiously awaited the opportunity to put her knowledge to work. Two years ago, the opportunity arrived. “I was asked to move to a technology-enriched 5th Grade position, due to my knowledge gained from my Master’s program,” Woronka said. “We were fortunate enough to have one-toone iPod Touches, as well as a grade set of 30 MacBooks. Since my Master’s involved integrating technology in the classroom, 5th Grade has been a perfect fit to showcase the skills I learned throughout my education.” And her results in the classroom were recognized: She was named Pleasant Union Elementary School Teacher of the Year, and was a finalist for Wake County Public School System Teacher of the Year. “I was so honored,” said Woronka, who 14
919 Magazine WK
lives in North Raleigh and is expecting her first child soon with husband, Jeff. “The fact that my peers nominated me and recognized the effort I put into my work was an unbelievable feeling.” Woronka began her teaching career at Pleasant Union in 2002 guiding 2nd Graders, then spent five years at the 3rd Grade level before moving into her current responsibilities. “I love the flexibility of teaching. No day or year is the same; each class and student comes with his or her own personality
and academic strengths/weaknesses,” she noted. “Because of this, every year is completely different from the other. Getting to know my students on a personal level and determining how I can bring out their strengths and confidence is the part of my job I love the most. When my students can see they are succeeding, that is a prize I cherish most in my profession.” Philosophical about being a teacher, Woronka feels those in the profession always strive to be the best. “There are

always improvements to be made and the newest techniques to learn,” she said. “When I found out I was one of the finalists for teacher of the year, it was justification that what I was currently doing in my classroom was effective. Teaching is a profession where recognition is intrinsic when a goal is met or success is achieved. There are not many opportunities for recognition on a public level.” Even with her recent honor, Woronka hopes to make additional strides. “Continuing to improve as a person gives me the greatest fulfillment in life, whether it is on a professional or personal level,” she said. “I want to learn and to better myself as a citizen, teacher, wife, and – soon – as a mother. I set goals for myself in all areas of my life, and persevere until the goals are met.”

WHS Track Star Heads to NC State Wakefield Graduate Lea Defines ‘Scholar Athlete’ By STEPHANIE FRIEDL 919 Magazine Writer
Look up the definition of “scholar athlete” and you just might read about Tyra Lea, Wakefield High class of 2013 graduate. As a member of the WHS indoor track and field team, Lea set a new state record, winning and finishing the 300 in 38.76 seconds. “Every time I do an event, my goal is to achieve a new PR (personal record) and to score points for my team,” said Lea. “My record in the 300 is a product of those two things, and I am so grateful for that achievement.” Lea also expressed gratitude for her teammates, school, and family for their support and for providing the opportunities to excel both in track and field and school. Mom Lolla
and Dad Zachary could not be more proud. “Tyra has always been very focused on her grades in addition to her being an outstanding athlete,” said Lolla. “No matter how late she arrived home from practice or a track meet, homework and studying took priority.” Lea maintained above a 4.0 GPA her senior year, and for her exemplary academic accomplishments, she received the 2012 Kappa Scholar and North Carolina Academic Scholar awards. She was also honored as

Tyra has always been very focused on her grades in addition to her being an outstanding athlete. LOLLA LEA Wakefield Female Athlete Most Valuable Player and the News & Observer High School Player of the Year. Friends and family describe Lea as humble and not one to boast about her accomplishments. As a team captain, she upheld the highest standards for herself serving as a true leader and role model for her peers. With humility, Lea credits her high school teachers for their dedication to helping students excel and her mom for providing the inspiration to work hard and persevere. “My mom is the strongest woman I know, and having been through a lot in her lifetime, she can still hold her head up and live a happy life,” said Lea. Lea plans to attend North Carolina State University in the fall where she will study biology and continue with her track and field career. “I hope to be one of the best freshmen in the ACC next year and to also (set a pseronal record) in all of my events,” said Lea.

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.

WACKO WOLVERINES FOR THE
Young WHS Football Team Seeks Consistency And Confidence in a Tough Cap 8 Conference When Rod Sink took over as head football coach at Wakefield High School before the 2012 season, expectations were high. Sink, offensive coordinator for three years under former head coach J.D. Dinwiddie, inherited one of the top recruits in the U.S. in Connor Mitch (now a freshman at the University of South Carolina) and a team used to winning games in the very competitive Cap 8 Conference. Though it lost in the first round of the playoffs, the 2011 team went 10-2. Last year, in Sink’s first at the helm, the Wolverines finished 11-2. Facing a tougher non-conference schedule in 2013 – and working with a younger team – Sink is optimistic about the season, as he explains to 919 Magazine readers.

A Conversation with Rod Sink, head football coach at Wakefield High School What are your goals for the Wakefield High School varsity football team this season? Our main goal is to compete. We believe that if we compete on every play, that will give us the best opportunity to be successful in the game.
What is the team’s biggest challenge going into this season? It will be gaining confidence. We have a young team and a stronger non-conference schedule, so finding success will be a little more difficult than in the past. It will be crucial for us to have confidence in ourselves going into conference play.
Who are you expecting to lead the team this year? We expect leadership from Evan Brabrand (quarterback) and CJ Boleware (outside linebacker).
Which newcomers are you expecting to contribute this year?

We need our entire offensive line from the junior varsity to contribute. We also have a few receivers who will get the opportunity to show what they can do, after sitting a year behind our senior-laden receiver corps from last season.

Leesville should be the preseason favorite to win the conference. Wake Forest will have a solid offense and very sound defense, which will give them the opportunity to compete for the conference title. Heritage’s second season of varsity football should prove that their program is getting stronger. Millbrook looks to be the surprise team next season, with an explosive offense and strong defensive line that will give them the chance to play with Leesville and Wake Forest. Sanderson and Broughton are the unknowns, with new head coaches this fall. I fully expect both programs to improve. Enloe should keep showing signs of improvement and I expect a much-improved team this fall. As for us, we will have to compete every down and the breaks will have to go our way to give us the opportunity to compete with the top tier teams of the conference. www.919Magazine.com

How and why did you get into coaching? I had always enjoyed playing sports and being a part of athletic teams in my childhood. During my junior year in high school, I had a career-ending injury. Knowing that I would be unable to play again, I thought coaching would provide me the opportunity to still be around the athletic competitions I enjoyed so much.
What do you enjoy most about coaching? I enjoy the opportunity to work with the young men. The greatest feeling as a coach is when those young men finally are able to put what you have worked on into action.

Fertility Foundation’s 5th Annual Gala Theme: ‘Denim & Diamonds’ Pay it Forward Fertility Foundation’s Annual Gala is planned for 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27 at The Pavilions at The Angus Barn. 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.

‘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

919 ›› FOOD BREAK Elizabeth Gardner enjoys her Cornflake Crusted Flounder so much, she makes it very often. “I make this about every other week,” the Raleigh resident said. “I love serving fish for my family, especially during the summer.” Gardner, an Emmywinning on-air meteorologist at WRAL-TV, said the dish makes her husband happy because he likes spicy food. “I can leave off the aioli for the kids and everybody will eat it!” she said.
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.

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/
