Robinson Creek. At the end of Cane Creek Valley, discover a living concept seemingly created by you.
www.CarolinaMountainSales.com www.DiscoverRobinsonCreek.com
Robinson Creek offers an exciting living opportunity at the sunny end of Cane Creek Valley at the corner of Mills Gap Road and Cane Creek Road. It’s perched just high enough to offer jaw-dropping views framed by incredible natural scenes of rolling North Carolina hillside. Conceived as a quiet community with private home sites, and neighbors you might wave to from your front porch, Robinson Creek is the new model for Western North Carolina living. By listening to what today’s buyer is truly looking for, the builder has developed a series of homes with distinctive architecture, open floor plans, high ceilings, and quality finishes. The homes strike the best balance between superior workmanship and value. At Robinson Creek you are just a few minutes away from South Asheville, which offers an abundance of restaurants, grocery stores, and retail shopping options. Cane Creek Middle School is only five minutes away. Downtown Asheville is an easy 20-minute drive, and you can reach the Asheville Regional Airport in just 15 minutes. Medical centers and major hospitals are located conveniently nearby. Here’s a snapshot: • Land and home packages priced from the low $300s • Elegant Craftsman mountain-inspired architecture • Five unique floor plans on .5 to 1.5 acre home sites • 1,800–2,300 sq. ft. homes (with the ability to expand) • Open floor plans • Granite countertops throughout, fireplace, and hardwood floors • Opportunities to expand and personalize your home within a design guideline • 10 ft. ceilings in the main-level living spaces • Tankless hot water heater • City water with natural gas and septic system • Already completed streets and curbs • County Taxes • A new model home (will be completed by January 2013) • A debt-free community and developer
Inquiries can be made by calling Brian Etheridge at 828.551.8043 to set up a tour of the property, review floor plans, or discuss this opportunity in greater detail. Email: bretheridge@gmail.com

New tech changes classroom learning enhanced images, video and audio. Tablets also have practical advantages such as “instant on,” all-day battery life, no cords and are often more cost-effective than ordering new text books each year. • Adding more fun: According to Open College, teachers who integrated digital games into lessons saw an increase in average test scores when compared to traditional, non-digital games. By making learning fun, you can get kids excited to learn just about anything and get some laughs along the way.
(StatePoint) As technology evolves, so do the ways children learn in and out of the classroom. With constantly changing tools and trends, teachers can do more to stay up-to-date to help children thrive. It is important that parents understand what these changes mean so their children can maintain a competitive edge. Here are some new trends in education that every parent should know about: • More collaboration: If you think Facebook is all gossip and games, think again. Many teachers are drawing upon social media’s natural collaborative element and ability to connect the classroom and home. In fact, some innovative teachers are using sites like Pinterest, Skype, Facebook and Twitter in a controlled, supervised way to make classroom materials more accessible and
encourage conversation. • Learning from each other: Since technology can change so rapidly, it’s important that teachers share best practices by word of mouth. The newest social platform, Edmodo, built the first whole network of K-12 users and connects teachers with other teachers as well as parents, students and third-parties. Edmodo members can swap ideas, share lesson plans and manage grades in a secure network accessible from school computers. With more than eight million users across 60,000 different schools, the possibilities are endless. • New tools: New technologies, such as tablets and e-readers, are helping students learn. These smaller devices offer students advantages over traditional computers, through interactive capabilities that bring lessons to life and
• Turn it off: In this digital era, it is also important to make sure students have the time to unplug. Not only does time outside offer children opportunities to get necessary exercise, but a 2009 Yeshiva University study found that children who have more recess time behave better in the classroom and are likelier to learn more. So how can parents make sure schools have plans to fund programming that supports these new trends? Be proactive! For example, you can help now by nominating a new or existing K-12 program at your school to win a grant of up to $50,000 from The Clorox Company’s Power a Bright Future Program. To vote for your favorite program, visit, www.PowerABrightFuture.com. Education is evolving all the time. Be sure to stay on top of changes so your children get a leg up on learning.

(StatePoint) If it seems like your grocery store bills are getting bigger, you’re not imagining it: food prices are on the rise, and poised to go higher. Scarce rainfall plus last summer’s record-breaking heat wave resulted in scorched crops in many of the nation’s grain-producing regions. The reduced fall harvest has created higher prices at the supermarket now, for products ranging from boxes of cereal to bottles of soda, and from bacon to beef. The World Bank has even warned that high and volatile food prices may be the “new normal.”
Lower your family’s food costs
Luckily, shoppers can take a few easy steps to help ease the bite on food budgets. • Buy fewer processed food products. That means buying fresh fruit instead of processed packaged fruit snacks, or peanuts in the shell rather than shelled, roasted and salted peanuts in a can. Less processing equals greater value, explains Kara Newman, author of “The Secret Financial Life of Food: From Commodities Markets to Supermarkets.” “When you buy packaged food, only 15 to 20 cents of every dollar goes toward the raw commodities used in that product,” Newman says, citing a USDA study that focused on price inputs for a typi-
cal box of corn flakes. In that box, 15 percent to 20 percent of the price goes toward the raw corn, she explains -- the rest goes toward processing, transportation and fuel, advertising, and other expenses related to getting a box on a retail shelf. “In the end, you pay more for the packaging than you do for the corn in your corn flakes!” • Try out “Meatless Mondays.” Consider preparing vegetarian meals at least once a week. In 2012, the steepest food price increases were among beef and veal, and poultry products, according to USDA figures -- and those products are expected to trend higher still in 2013. By comparison, fresh vegetables were the only category that saw a decline in prices last year. Can’t bear to go completely veggie? Try
subbing eggs, dairy and fish for beef and poultry -- those products have had slightly gentler price increases. • Cut out the middleman. “One of the secrets nobody tells you is that you can opt out of buying ‘commodity products’ if you want,” Newman notes. “To do that, shop at greenmarkets where you can buy direct from farmers and other food producers.” There are many different factors that influence food prices and many ways the financial markets influence prices in the supermarket, points out Newman, whose new book, “The “Secret Financial Life of Food,” explores the mysteries behind culinary trends, grocery pricing, and restaurant dining.

“Many of our local brokers do not realize that Real Estate Weekly was started by Realtors for the benefit of Realtors so that we could have our own publication to turn to for our advertising needs. Because of Real Estate Weekly, we have been able to brand ourselves with local buyers and sellers and, at the same time, get our listings in front of the buying public with beautiful color photos of the homes we have for sale. In addition, Real Estate Weekly helps us hit all the popular websites with our listings to make sure buyers across the country see our listings as well. We feel every advertising dollar in the REW is well spent.” — Pat and Donna Asheville's Dream Team Keller Williams Professionals

Tips to lose weight and keep it off (StatePoint) In the midst of an obesity epidemic, it’s easy to ignore that little bit of extra weight you may be carrying around. But experts warn that any amount of excess fat tissue around the middle can boost your risk for serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes and more.
healthy, realistic or sustainable. Why? Carbohydrates, fats and proteins play necessary and unique functions within our bodies and supply different nutrients crucial for health. • Ditch wasteful calories that come from foods that are nutritionally void -- think
to burn calories and lose weight. • Be prepared to commit to regular aerobic exercise and resistance training. There are no shortcuts. Exercise for forty-five to sixty minutes a day, six days a week, for the rest of your life.
And unfortunately, there are no really easy solutions when it comes to sustained weight loss. “Fad diets promising a quick fix may help you drop weight quickly, but these programs can do more harm than good,” says Dr. Jen Sacheck, Associate Professor of Nutrition at Tufts University and co-author of the new book, “Thinner this Year: A Diet and Exercise Program for Living Strong, Fit, and Sexy.” Sacheck, along with motivational speaker and co-author Chris Crowley, explain in plain English the science of what goes on inside your body -- both when you’re taking care of yourself and when you’re not. They’re urging those two-thirds of Americans that are overweight or obese to stop searching for magic weight loss solutions. “Preaching a commitment to proper nutrition and regular exercise may not win us any popularity contests,” quips Crowley, “but at the end of the day, hard work is the only healthful way to lose weight and keep it off for good.” Not only that, eating right and getting exercise can boost your mood, make you feel younger, and give you an overall better outlook on life. Whether you’re looking to drop those extra pounds, or maintain a healthy weight as you age, keep these guidelines in mind: • Avoidance of entire food groups or excessive consumption of others isn’t
processed and overly packaged foods, refined, flour products, all things fried or covered in creamy goop, sports drinks and other beverages with added sugar. Bottom line: eat real food. • About half of your diet should be fruits and vegetables. Enjoy healthy fats in moderation and avoid saturated and trans fat. When eating meat, make it lean. • Don’t starve! You need energy to go about your day, especially if you’re physically active. Skipping meals can actually lower your metabolism, making it harder
• Stay connected with friends and family. “We are built to care deeply about one another. Get isolated and you will literally get sick,” says Crowley. Friends can also offer the best support when it comes to achieving your goals. For more information, or to connect with others, visit www.ThinnerThisYear.com. The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll see positive change. But remember; when it comes to sustainable weight loss, there are no miracles.
