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.
Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, and kale grow best in the fall and can be planted before mid-September 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.

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
DIABETICS SHOULD ASK THEIR PODIATRIST
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.

Asheboro from village to city
The village that became the City of Asheboro dates back to 1780, when citizens demanded that the county seat be relocated from Johnstonville to a place more convenient for the citizens of Randolph County. Asheboro came to being on land owned by Jesse Henley. The first session of court was held in Asheboro on June 12, 1793. The charter for the Town of Asheboro was issued by the State Legislature on Christmas Day in 1796. The town was named for Samuel Ashe, governor from 1795-1798 (as was the City of Asheville).
The town of Asheboro began to take form on a 50-acre tract. The focal point was the courthouse square on Main Street. In 1805 a large, two-story frame building housed the courthouse. For almost the first century of the town’s existence, court-related business was the primary business of town. The sleepy village came to life when court was in session, turning the square into a carnival of activity that ranged from horse-swapping to the selling and imbibing of grog. The whooping and yelling often caused the presiding judge to order the high sheriff to halt the ruckus.
From 1800-1850, Asheboro saw the establishment of the first post office, the creation of a formal town government and the creation of the first church (Methodist Episcopal Church). During that time Asheboro also became home to a young lawyer named Jonathan Worth, who would go on to serve
six terms in the Legislature, two terms as the state treasure and two terms as governor.
From 1836 to 1844, lawyer and editor Benjamin Swain published the town’s first newspaper – Southern Citizen (a weekly publication). In one of his editions, Swain called Asheboro an “uncommonly healthy and pleasant” village of about 100 inhabitants. 1850-51, the Fayetteville and Western Plank Road section through Asheboro was completed. At this time Asheboro had 32 households, totaling 154 people. By 1852, much of the wealth in town resulted from gold mining operations nearby.
A period of stagnation followed the Civil War. In 1876, Asheboro’s population had grown to about 200. Asheboro still had only two churches and two academies, one for males and one for females. Two hundred bales of cotton were sold at the Asheboro market that year.
High Point, Randleman, Asheboro and Southern Railroad arrived in Asheboro in July 1889, marking the beginning of a period of prosperity and growth. Competition came in 1896 with the arrival of Montgomery Railroad, from Star to Asheboro. The railroad depots and a disastrous fire caused the center of town to shift from Main Street to Sunset Avenue.
The second century of Asheboro was marked by the establishment of its first bank and its first telephone company The Bank of Randolph, and Asheboro Telephone Company (both established in 1897). It was the arrival of the railroads that caused a population explosion. Population nearly doubled every 10 years: 1890, 510; 1900, 992; 1910, 1,865; 1920, 2,559; and 1930, 5,021. By 1912 there already were about 30 stores in Asheboro as well as two roller mills, two chair manufacturers, a lumber plant, hosiery mill, wheelbarrow factory and foundry.
The present county courthouse was completed in July 1909, at a cost of $34,000 and the next 10 years resulted in unparalleled growth. Electricity arrived, along with a water system fed by wells. The fire department was organized, a new public school built and the first hospital organized. The industrial base expanded from wood products and blacksmith shops to textiles. The first of today's base of hosiery mills came with the chartering of Acme Hosiery Mills on December 19, 1908. The original product was cotton stockings.
The business tempo of the 1920s was smothered by The Great Depression and World War II, but the aftermath of World War II resulted in a flurry in industrial plants to augment the cluster of hosiery plants here. Stedman Manufacturing Company expanded its handkerchief manufacturing during the war to make t-shirts for the navy. Klopman Mills was organized with its first plant in Asheboro. Eveready Battery Company, with two plants in Asheboro, was the first infusion of a mix of industries, followed by B.B. Walker Shoe Co., Black & Decker, Georgia Pacific, Klaussner Furniture Industries, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. wire plant, Knorr Best Foods, KayserRoth Hosiery, and others.
In 1979 the North Carolina Zoo, just south of Asheboro, opened its first permanent exhibit. Today, the world-renowned zoo draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area each year.

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. Find

The Randolph Room, located on the first floor of the Asheboro Public Library, is Randolph County's treasure trove of historical and genealogical records. Because many items in our collection are one-of-a-kind, the collection is generally non-circulating but visitors are welcome to use materials in-house. Requests to check-out items will be determined on a case-by-case basis within the discretion of the staff. We are currently open Mon-Fri, 9:00a to 5:30p, closed between 12:30 and 1:30 for lunch; also open Sat, 9:00a to 12:30p.
Librarians are also able to provide specialized research assistance by email and by phone. Resources include family files, family histories, specialized books, newspapers, vital records, censuses, government documents, photographs, scrapbooks, maps and more. Online resources include Heritage Quest, Ancestry Library Edition and Historical North Carolina Newspapers.
Go to randolphlibrary.org to get a "starter packet" that guides researchers before they come to the Randolph Room. We want to help you make your research time successful.

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.
