PLANT THESE VEGGIES
FOR A FALL GARDEN
As the summer produce withers on the vine, it’s time to sow the seeds for a fall and early winter harvest. If you didn’t get a chance to grow a vegetable garden in the spring, consider cultivating these vegetables and flowers for a vibrant and fruitful autumn garden. Many plants thrive in the cooler temperatures of autumn, and unlike spring or early summer crops, fall vegetable gardens are less susceptible to diseases or insect infestations.
FALL GARDENING TIPS
Late summer (August into September) is the best time to start a fall vegetable garden in most regions.
Once your summer vegetables have been harvested pull up the plants and compost. Check the Farmer’s Almanac’s average first frost dates for your area.
Sow early-maturing varieties when possible to allow plants to become well established before a frost is likely to occur.
Not enough time before first frost to plant seeds in your area? Plant transplants (young seedlings) instead, available at most garden centers.
Plant beet seeds about 8-12 weeks before the average first fall frost date for your area. It thrives in soil with a pH 7.0 to 7.5. They prefer the sun, but can handle some shade. Plant seeds ½ inch deep, and about 2 inches apart. Keep the soil moist. Mulch and water as needed. Mulch keeps the soil cool, yielding sweeter roots. Beets do best in cool weather—not only can they tolerate a frost, but frost actually helps improve the flavor.
Bok choy, sometimes seen as “siu bak choy,” translates from Chinese to “small white vegetable” (not to be confused with dai bak choy, or big white vegetable, a.k.a., Napa cabbage) This cruciferous vegetable is a member of the Brassicaceae family is easy to grow and matures quickly in cooler weather (approximately 50 days depending on variety). Sow seeds 8 to 10 weeks before first fall frost is expected. Space about 6-7 inches apart in your garden bed. Bok choy produces a head similar to romaine lettuce. It is tender, yet crisp, and mild flavored. Harvest leaves as they become ready. Plants should have thick white stalks and dark green leaves along the top edges. Bok choy only keeps about 2 weeks in the refrigerator but for longer storage, you can prop them up in sand in a cool root cellar for up to 2 months.
Broccoli seeds should be planted 10 to 12 weeks before the first frost. Seeds take 1 to 2.5 weeks to sprout. Transplants can be
planted several weeks later than seeds, and spaced approx. 15 inches apart in a fall garden. Mulch around the plants once they’ve grown a few inches above the soil. Mulch will help keep them cool. Broccoli matures well in cooler weather, and will tolerate a mild fall frost. Broccoli thrives when daytime temperatures are around 70 degrees and nighttime temperatures reach no lower than 60 degrees.
Cabbage is a cool weather, hardy vegetable, ideal for your fall garden. Seeds can be planted typically 10 to 12 weeks before the first frost. Sow cabbage seeds in soil with a pH 7.0 to 7.5, in full sun. Plant 1/2 inch deep, spacing 1.5 feet apart, and you won’t need to thin later. Mulch plants to keep soil cool. Water plants frequently. Harvest when the heads are hard and round, and before a hard freeze. Once harvested, cabbage can be stored for 2 to 3 months at 32 to 40 degrees.
Carrots should be planted in loose, rock-free, well-draining soil, with a pH 6 to 7. A raised bed filled with well-worked soil and compost is ideal for carrots. Sow seeds about ½ inch apart in ¾ inch deep furrows. Keep soil moist and mist with water, until seedlings appear. Moisture keeps the carrots from becoming bitter tasting. Once the plants reach 2 inches tall thin out, leaving at least 3-inches between. After thinning, mulch around the seedlings to retain moisture in the soil. Harvest as soon as the carrots are large enough to eat. When you’re ready to harvest carrots, water the ground to soften it and release the carrots easily into your hands. Instead of harvesting all the carrots at once, you can leave some in the garden bed under a
thick layer of straw or other mulch. They can stay in the ground until December. The flavor of carrots improves with a hard frost. Cover them with hay to keep them warm.
Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, and kale grow best in the fall and can be planted before midSeptember for a fall and winter harvest. Plant 8 weeks before the first frost. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart. Keep the soil moist. It’s important to make sure that the temperature is not likely to go above 80 degrees after you’ve planted spinach or it won’t germinate, although certain lettuce varieties can handle it. Kale will be sweeter if grown in the fall, especially if you leave it in the ground through a light frost.
Leeks are quite hardy, and can survive even during a winter freeze. Plant them around mid-to-late August or even into September.
Sugar snap and snow peas can also tolerate frost, though you’ll want to plant them before the soil drops below 45 degrees.
Another great fall root vegetable is the turnip since it matures quickly (about 2 months) and is hardy enough to survive even in Siberia.
And Parsnips can actually stay in the ground all winter, and they taste better after several frosts. Just cover with hay or mulch before the snow starts.
Happy gardeninfall

HOW TO HELP KIDS manage weight
Obesity and overweight are public health issues across the globe. The World Health Organization says worldwide adult obesity has more than doubled since 1990, and adolescent obesity has quadrupled. According to the State of Childhood Obesity and data from the National Survey of Children's Health, in 2021-2022, 17 percent of U.S. youths ages 10 to 17 were obese. In particular, obesity rates were significantly higher for Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic Indian/Alaska Native children than other races and ethnicities.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says health care for obesity is expensive for patients and taxing on the health care system, as obesity can contribute to chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. Therefore, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy body mass index early on can set a child on a path of continued good health into adulthood. Parents and other caregivers can help children lose weight in a number of ways.
Offering healthy "choices" also goes along way toward giving children the feeling of control over their diet.
✓ Consult with a registered dietitian. A registered dietitian or nutritionist can help children reach a healthy weight. The RD will input information like age, height and weight, and by assessing health goals, come up with food plans and strategies to help a child improve his or her overall health.
✓ Cut back on processed foods. Adults tend to have control when food shopping, and kids simply rely on the foods they find in the home for snacks and meals. Fast foods and processed foods tend to be higher in calories and fat, so opting for more fresh, lean, and whole grain items can be part of any weight loss equation.
✓ Make smart ingredient swaps. Trade in white breads, rices and pastas for whole-grain alternatives. These products have fiber, which can help a child feel full for longer. Fiber also is essential to keeping cholesterol levels in check. Children may be hesitant to try new things, but research shows children are more likely to eat a new item after it appears on their plate a few times, so parents should remain persistent.
✓ Skip the sugary drinks. Sodas, sweetened iced teas and even juices can be high in calories. Gradually switch over to water, unsweetened beverages and low-fat milk for kids.
✓ Serve a nutritionally sound plate. The MyPlate program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates that a healthy plate consists of filling half a plate with vegetables and fruit, while a quarter of the plate should be a lean
protein and the remaining quarter a whole grain. Low-fat dairy products also should be included to provide for calcium and vitamin D.
✓ Buy more fruits and vegetables. When shopping, opt for more fruits and vegetables, as well as other healthy snacks. Keeping chips and cookies out of the house limits kids' access to them. Save less healthy snacks for once in a while.
¥ Exercise as a family. Find fun activities the family can enjoy that get the body moving multiple times per week.
Children can lose weight when necessary with some help from their parents. Having conversations that are ageappropriate about the value of eating healthier foods can go a long way toward training children to be conscious of what they put into their bodies. These conversations do not (and should not) be about their body weight or losing weight. If a child is expressing fear over an awareness that they weigh more than friends, for instance, steer the conversation to what can give them a healthier body image, such as a healthier diet and a more active lifestyle.
5 QUESTIONS
Diabetes is a serious health condition that should always be discussed and managed with your attending physician. For some people, a podiatrist isn’t someone they think they should make aware of this condition— but they should.
Believe it or not, diabetes doesn’t just wreak havoc on your heart, eyes, and kidneys, among other organs; it affects your feet and if left unchecked can ultimately result in your lower extremities being amputated. In fact, your feet are greatly impacted by diabetes and a podiatrist should be among your list of physicians that you regularly see to treat your condition.
If you’ve scheduled an appointment with a podiatrist to discuss your foot health, here is a list of things you should talk about during your appointment:
1. Types of Shoes You Should Wear: Diabetics need different footwear than the average person and some may even need custom footwear. While your podiatrist will guide you in the right direction on the best footwear for you, he or she will likely advise you to stay away from open-toe sandals, flip-flops, and shoes that don’t provide adequate support or even weight distribution.
2. Changes in Feeling in Your Feet: Many diabetics lose feeling in their feet or experience numbness and tingling, which is associated with a condition called neuropathy. Due to the loss of sensation in their feet, diabetics often leave cuts, scrapes, and other injuries untreated, which could turn into diabetic wounds and ulcers. If these diabetic wounds or ulcers also go untreated, amputation may be necessary, as the tissue in the foot becomes too necrotic and can literally begin to fester or rot.
3. Injuries: A common side effect of diabetes is the inability to heal from otherwise simple injuries or wounds. This combined with the loss of feeling can create huge health problems for diabetics such as diabetic wounds and ulcers.
4. Calluses & Corns: For those without diabetes, treating corns and calluses can be somewhat simple. But for diabetics, treating corns and calluses is best left to the professionals. A minor cut while trying to scrape or file a callus or corn could result in injuries that may become serious.
5. Skin Changes: Dry, cracked skin of the feet is a common side effect of diabetes. The cracked, peeling skin could result in open sores that won’t heal. Be sure to talk about this during your appointment so your podiatrist can go over the best skin care treatment options for you.

Mike Bey
read his inspiring story of courage & redemption
Mike Bey works for a local radio station as a DJ (and in sales and marketing). I met Mike at a local BNI meeting where he showed up as a stand-in for another member. I liked him from the start. He had this calming vibe that drew me to him. When the meeting broke, we had a few minutes to chat. BNI encourages members to schedule one-on-one meetings as a way to get to know one another. Mike and I soon scheduled a one-on-one meeting and that’s when he told me his story. Without giving too much away, I found Mike very compelling and his story inspiring. I asked if I could share his journey in my next Burlington Magazine article. Thankfully he agreed.
Mike Bey
I grew up in Jacksonville Florida in the '80s and early '90s. My father, grandmother and aunt raised me. We moved around quite a bit during those years, in search of better opportunities and environments for me. From kindergarten to sophomore year of high school I attended a new school each year.
While in school I often found myself in ISS or OSS (in-school/ out-of-school suspension) due to attention-seeking acts of rebellion. My family did the best they could to protect, provide and love me even through the trouble I got myself into.
After high school I moved out of my father's home at 18 and allowed influences into my life that lead to drug addiction. I became homeless for the first time at just 22 years old in Missouri. By divine appointment I reconnected with my father and he took me in so I could start over.
ANOTHER Cathryn Hartwell "PASSION PROJECt"
the loss of my job, income and eventually to a lack of shelter. When my options ran out, I reached back out to my father.
Once again he took me in and I moved to Greensboro in late 2020. I got sober and recovered during my six-month stay there. I thought I was ready to do life again, so in early 2021 I had a job opportunity in Burlington and decided to attempt to live in a hotel with the money I saved during my recovery. During that hotel stay I relapsed again and spent all the money I had saved and ended up not getting the job I came to Burlington for.
I was too embarrassed to contact my father about what happened, so I decided to figure it out on my own. The first day out of the hotel I had nothing but a suitcase with all of my belongings. I dragged my things from the hotel and found a spot behind the Panera Bread Company/Maverick Radio parking lot.
The first night of being outside completely humbled me. I took responsibility, prayed for help and cried myself to sleep. I got up the following morning at 6:00am because I knew Panera would be open. I sat in Panera with a Bible and a few dollars. I spent my time reading, praying and eating bread. I repeated this process for a few days and took walks each day. What was very interesting is that each day someone would help me without me asking for help. At random moments of each day I would receive food or money for food or a hotel for a night.
I got sober and began doing honest work again. My life cleared up after a year and I began a relationship that resulted in marriage about six years later. The relationship suffered (and ultimately ended) because of my unwillingness to understand what it meant to be a life partner. As a means of escape I once again began to allow influences in my life that would lead to a relapse into drug addiction.
2019 through 2020 was the beginning of a new journey. I moved in with people who were a bad influence and my life took another wrong turn. Addiction lead to
After about a week of this I decided to walk to Huffman Mill Mall on a Sunday and stumbled upon Broken Chains Biker Church and sat in on the last few minutes of the Sunday service. Afterward, Broken Chains embraced me, gave me food and got a hotel for me for a few nights. I was invited to another service for the following week and met Amanda Hodge, owner of Hope City CrossFit.
Amanda Hodge and Robbie Adams invited me to the CrossFit Recovery Class named Revival CrossFit. I began attending Revival weekly all while still predominantly sleeping behind Maverick Radio/Panera Bread each night. Revival is where I would receive essentials for daily life (sleeping bags, tents and book bags with daily essentials).
After a month or so Amanda referred me to a job placement company. I took the recommendation and got a job with a metal company. Revival Crossfit was the catalyst
for my recovery and ultimately my sustained sobriety. I began my job days after being hired and, with the help of Robbie Adams, saved enough money to buy my first car.
I now had shelter (my car), a job, a community and sobriety. A few months later my car broke down in front of Maverick/Hope Radio. One day I met the owner of both radio stations, Chuck Marsh. He learned my story and understood that I was genuinely doing the best I could with what I had.
He invited me to be his neighbor and to do some work within the radio industry. I started out helping with events and with some production work. I also started volunteering work around Alamance County. After four months or so I worked my way up to serving as a radio producer/show host for Hope 104.5 FM. I’m now almost four years sober and very active in giving back to the community that loved me back to life.
I now produce/host radio shows, I'm an Associate Pastor for AMP Church in Burlington and am newly appointed as Operations Manager for a resource center/day shelter known as Freedoms Hope Compassionate Care Ministry.
My current success was largely influenced by my father's example of hard work and pushing through, even during tough seasons. Alamance County has been really good to me. Broken Chains Biker Church, Revival, Hope City CrossFit, Maverick/Hope Radio, AMP Church, and the many organizations around the county have influenced me tremendously as well.
When I had nothing, I took responsibility for my own life and asked God for help. This started the process of change for me. Recovery through fitness came with a natural accountability to a community. Accountability turned into discipline and focus, which turned into provisions and opportunities for change BIG, POSITIVE change. I could not be more grateful to the wonderful people of this community, who held me up when I couldn't yet stand on my own. Thank you.
When asked what he would tell his younger self, Mike says:
"Be careful who you allow to influence you. Take responsibility for your actions. Be grateful for all you have and last but not least...serve others."

remodels. A few easy ways to refresh your kitchen or bathroom include updating shelving or adding new hardware. Decorative trim and mouldings are also cost-effective ways to add visual interest.
Consider these top home renovation projects from the experts at Westlake Royal Building Products, a leader in innovation, design and production of exterior and interior building products including siding, trim, mouldings, roofing, stone, windows, outdoor living and more, based on the 2024 Cost vs. Value Report from “Remodeling Magazine.”
REMODEL KITCHEN & BATHROOM
The average seller can expect an 96.1% return on a light touch to the kitchen, according to the report, and 73.7% on a modest bathroom renovation. Because personal preferences can vary widely among buyers, minor upgrades can provide a higher ROI than large, upscale
As natural and textured home trends continue, homeowners are gravitating toward stone veneer, or manufactured stone, as it can replicate the look of real stone, adding comfort, character and beauty to homes. An option like Versetta Stone from Westlake Royal Building Products offers the authentic, handcrafted look of stone in a panelized format that’s easy to install with nails and screws. There’s also no need to paint, coat or seal once installed. Ideal for its ability to add texture and dimension throughout both home interior (accent walls and fireplaces) and exterior applications (siding, entryways and walkways), stone veneer which comes with a 153.2% ROI can influence mood,

emotion and energy levels while serving as a focal point of your home’s design.
INSTALL NEW WINDOWS
Depending on the harshness of winter in your area and the age of your home, you may notice certain windows have developed drafts, allowing cold air to enter and heat to escape. Replacing drafty or outdated windows with modern, energyefficient models is one of the most effective ways to enhance your home’s energy efficiency. Additionally, a vinyl window replacement brings approximately 67.1% ROI.
REPLACE SIDING
In some cases, applying a fresh coat of paint is enough to refresh your home. However, if you’re looking to enhance your home’s curb appeal while making a long-term impact, consider installing new siding or replacing existing siding. Because vinyl siding serves as an additional layer of insulation, improving the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling systems, it offers a 80.2% ROI. Weatherresistant, low-maintenance siding like Celect
Cellular Composite Siding, which is now available in on-trend colors including Imperial Red, a robust shade of red; Deep Pewter, a compellingly modern forest green; and Timberland, a rich, natural brown, won’t warp, sag or buckle and is built to withstand even the harshest weather conditions. Its patented interlocking joints provide a seamless look and it’s easy to install in small spaces, like along a knee or pony wall.
UPDATE DECKING
If you want to entertain guests outside, it’s a perfect time to get your patio or deck ready. While a new coat of stain can update your existing deck’s appearance and help protect it, now is also an ideal time to build a deck if your home doesn’t currently have one. When choosing a decking material, cost and maintenance are two factors to consider. Composite decking offers a 68.2% ROI and is low maintenance as it’s not susceptible to cracking, warping and weather damage.
Jesse James Visits Company Shops
As improbable as it might seem, the legendary Wild West outlaw Jesse James, along with his older brother Frank, spent several months hiding out in the Alamance County area a little over 150 years ago. At first blush it might seem strange that there would be any connection at all between the James family and Alamance County, but indeed there was.
Jesse was born and raised in Clay County, Missouri and quite a few people who settled there came from Alamance County. For example, one of Jesse’s closest childhood friends was Joel Thomas Albright. Although Joel was born in Clay County, his parents, Daniel and Amelia Holt Albright were from Graham. In fact, so many of Joel’s Holt relatives lived in Clay County that they founded the town of Holt, near the James farm. Joel not only went to school with the James brothers, he married their first cousin, Sarah Jane Cole.
Another close friend of the James brothers was James Robert “Jim” Cummins, whose parents were from Guilford County, just west of Ossipee and Altamahaw. Jim attended school with Jesse, fought in the Civil War with him as members of “Bloody Bill” Anderson’s guerilla group, and later joined the James gang.
At the end of the Civil War, Jesse James never accepted the surrender and continued his guerilla ways, although he focused almost exclusively on bank
and train robberies. After the robbery of a bank in Russellville, Kentucky on March 20, 1868, Jesse and Frank James dropped out of sight for more than a year.
Although no one knew where the James brothers had gone except family and friends, Jesse and Frank came to North Carolina and stayed for a while at the home of Nellie Pritchett Vincent in Thompsonville, in Rockingham County, close to the northwest corner of Alamance County. Nellie was the aunt of their childhood friend, James S. Holt, who had moved with his parents to Clay County in 1851 and went to school with Jesse and Jim Cummins.
Known as the Williamsburg Community, that part of Rockingham County was very rural and isolated. Several families in that area have many oral traditions of the time the James brothers spent there in 1868. All of them agree on several points: that the James brothers frequently went to church, were interested in horses and horse races, and often made visits to Locust Hill, in Caswell County, and to Company Shops and Graham in Alamance County. While here, Frank James used the pseudonym “J. Ed. Warren,” while Jesse used the name “J. T. Jackson.”
It has been speculated that Jesse and Frank James took part in Ku Klux Klan-like activities in
Alamance County. The local chapter, called the “White Brotherhood,” had been founded by Graham lawyer Jacob Alson “Jake” Long. Jake’s older brother, John Henry Long, had moved to Missouri, near Clay County, about 1857. Moreover, many members of the White Brotherhood had relatives in Clay County.
John Henry Long’s daughter, Pattie Long Newman, who grew up in Clay County but lived in Elon College after her marriage, told friends and family members about “riding in Jesse James’ lap in a wagon” when she was a little girl. She also mentioned that her Uncle Jake Long was a good friend of Jesse’s.
Jesse and Frank James went back to Missouri during the summer of 1869. They were both implicated in the holdup of a bank in Gallatin, Missouri on December 7, 1869, when Jesse shot and killed the cashier, Captain John Sheets. Then the two were publicly proclaimed as outlaws and became national news. A short time later they disappeared again, back to North Carolina. It is known that Frank and Jesse James were in North
Carolina after 1870, but it doesn’t appear that they ever came back to Alamance County. Jesse, however, was in Yanceyville, in Caswell County, in 1876, shortly after his failed robbery attempt in Northfield, Minnesota. While in Yanceyville, Jesse reportedly met with Jake Long, who was trying a case there. Frank James, however, preferred Greensboro and was there with his family in the fall of 1881, when he stayed at the McAdoo House on South Elm Street. He said he would have settled there had there not been an outbreak of diphtheria at the time.
Interestingly, there was another Jesse James in Burlington, but this one (no relation) was Burlington’s chief of police between August 1956 and June 1959.

YOUR MONEY Horoscope!
ARIES Now is the time to shop. Yup! SHOP, but not necessarily BUY. Shop for the best deal on a near-future luxury purchase so you're ready when you are emotionally and financially ready to pull the trigger. Find the best deal!
TAURUS Bulls love luxury, but they also love to feel secure. You know your worth and are good with money. This IS a time to loosen the purse strings a bit, so don't panic when that opportunity presents itself.
GEMINI You love showing off sometimes, and are more likely to spend money rather than saving for a rainy day. This is actually a time when you need to rein that in a bit.
CANCER You don't care about becoming the richest or wealthiest. Once your needs are met, you're happy to dial back work if it means spending more time with the people you love or aiming your strong work ethic toward something you are passionate about.
LEO This sign can and will throw themselves into a job and hold themselves to a high standard while doing it, but that doesn't mean they want to be there. Money might be a little too important to you so you are not always as generous with your money as you could be.
VIRGO Although you may love to splurge on travel and can't resist a plane ticket or luxe hotel, you're also known to be pretty stingy with others. It's really more about being practical, but it comes off as stingy. Let's work on that a little, Virgo.
LIBRA Libra often sees work as fun, so it can be tough for Libra to negotiate for a larger salary. This is the ideal time to break out of that cycle a raise is in your future.
SCORPIO Scorpio has a complicated relationship with money and gets jealous when others have more than they do, especially if they seem less deserving.
SAGITTARIUS Because of the feast or famine Sag life, it can be helpful to make sure some safeguards, like investments, are in place, so there’s cash for a rainy day.
CAPRICORN Capricorn doesn’t like spending unnecessary money, and may need to be coaxed into spending money on things they perceive as luxuries like dining out. Go out to dinner with a friend, Thrifty Capricorn. You'll be glad you did.
AQUARIUS Aquarius believes money comes and goes, but relationships stay, and you tend to make investing in relationships a priority over investing in your career or investing in the stock market. You are ruled by your heart AND your wallet. Take a break from the constant argument between your head and heart.
PISCES When the flow feels like things aren't working, it's a sign for Pisces to reassess and make changes. Unfortunately, you have a LOT of trouble accepting change or acting on it. "Jealousy Green" is not a good color on you! If you're unhappy with your career choices to this point, you're gonna have to take some chances. It's time. But you already know this.
