Publisher’s Letter

I

t’s been a long month, and the magazine is coming out later than usual so my apologies to you, my reader.s We had some techniccal snafus and got the file to the printer much later than normal.

Sometimes in life you meet people who really strike a cord and make an impact on you. Marlo Francis is one such individual. I met her back in early 2011, and when she told me her concept for di’lishi I was astonished that she would want to open something like that in Asheboro and not somewhere more urban like Greensboro or High Point. She took a huge risk, nothing like it existed here and who knew if it would take off or not.

But Marlo had a dream, and she had researched the business until she could probably recite the health benefits of frozen yogurt in her sleep. She proved my skepticism wrong when the community embraced her and di’lishi and it took off. Between charitable giving, local collaborations with other entrepreneurs and businesses, a partnership wtih Randolph Health and eight franchises, I’d say Marlo has a lot to be proud of. I consider her a dear friend and wish her well in this time of transition.

I just know we haven’t seen the last of her here in Asheboro.

It’s that time of year again for the Human Race, the Habitat for Humanity Food Truck Rodeo, and the 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Bicentennial Park. On March 16th, you don’t want to miss a minute of the action downtown - it’s going to a great time.

We are celebrating our furry friends this month at Asheboro Magazine. Pictured below is Bandit, a rescue dog that we brought home from Ecuador. Actually, his mother was the rescue, and he was her puppy. We asked our readers and fans to post photos with their pets and what a response! Take a look at pages 37 through 41 for some of the cutest photos.

story is a great place to go. Gil knows cars and his trained technicians can work on just about anything from classic hot rods to a modern BMW. They do a great job and treat their customers fairly and with respect. I enjoy taking my cars for service there, you never know who you will see in the waiting room, or what cool cars you will see in the parking lot.

With Spring right around the corner, I hope the weather continues to improve and you can get outside and enjoy the festivities that are happening around town. Check out pages 32-33 for details.

I

At the same time, so much has happened in the last 10 years! “We are very grateful for the wonderful community of Asheboro that we are in. We will continue to serve our customers with honesty and integrity, and to treat them like family.�

Over the years, Gil and Rosie have had the pleasure of meeting some great people from the community, and along with providing a complete package of general repair services for your daily driver and businesses commercial vehicles, Gil and his team have had the opportunity to work on some outstanding classic muscle cars and

8 | asheboromagazine.com

custom hot rods.

Through the years, they have developed a large and loyal following and they are very thankful for each and every one of them.

In 2019, Gil is focusing more and more on training and technologies required to service today’s modern vehicles. He recently purchased new technology scan equipment that allows them to quickly and accurately diagnose your vehicle, which saves you time and money!

Each technician at G&G Automotive is certified and licensed to use their new Air Conditioning

service equipment, which allows them to service newer vehicles equipped with R1234YF Freon, as well as vehicles equipped with the traditional R134 Freon. This type of equipment ensures that they operate in an environmentally safe manner at all times.

G&G has always operated as a green facility.

All of their used filters, oils, and coolants are picked up by licensed companies and disposed of in the proper manner.

When you visit the shop, you can see that they maintain a very clean environment, both for their customers and employees, as well as for the vehicles that they work on. Gil wants customers to feel comfortable walking out to the shop floor with him so he or Tom can walk them through what is going on with their vehicle and give them a detailed assessment of what needs to be done.

Visitors are always welcome at the shop to see what they are working on, and how they do it.

Foreign auto repair has become a growing segment of their business, and it’s not unusual to

see an Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Mini Cooper or Volvo in the parking lot on any given day. They stock all manufacturers recommended oils and fluids for these vehicles.

If a customer has a special request for a specific product they want to be used on their vehicle, Gil can get it. They also offer complete brake, tire and alignment services for these brands as well.

Jeep service and repair has also become a large segment of their business. Asheboro has a large contingent of Jeep owners, and a lot of them belong to the Zoo City Jeepers club.

G&G services many of the club members’ Jeeps, and can provide complete general repair,

suspension modifications, re-gearing, custom alignments, supercharging, and more right at the shop on Old LIberty Road.

Gil welcomes commercial and fleet service business at G&G Automotive. They excel at servicing their fleet business, which includes vehicles under ARI, GE Capital, and other fleet administration companies.

He and Rosie want to thank everyone that has brought a vehicle to them to be serviced, or recommended them to a friend, neighbor or co-worker, and they will continue to strive for excellence and earn your business through exacting standards and high quality work.

ASK THE EXPERT YOUR FEET

Hammertoe Pain: What Can I Do To Stop It?

H

ammertoes, a claw-like deformity of the second and third toes, can be not only embarrassing but very painful as well. As the toes raise into a clawlike position and the condition progresses, suffers are desperate to find ways to help alleviate the pain.

Hammertoes are a common condition that occur as a result of your genetics, wearing high heels and stuffing your feet into too small or narrow toe boxes, which crowd your toes and cause the middle joints of the toe to shift upward.

As hammertoes progress, the top of the hammertoe can begin rubbing the top of your shoes, leading to painful corns on top of the toe joint. Your affected toes may even begin to swell and turn red in color. Your mobility of the toes may also become limited and more rigid, making it hard and painful to move the joints, and the ball of your foot under the hammertoes may even begin to hurt.

So what can you do to help alleviate the pain?

For corns and calluses, choosing shoes with wider toe boxes or open-toed shoes can help alleviate the irritation the top of the toe receives. Try choosing shoes where the shoe is a half-inch longer than your longest toe to help alleviate crowding. Cushioned stick-on pads

placed on top of the hammertoes may also help to prevent and stop corns and calluses from forming. But be sure to avoid high heels, as this will only causing this condition to worsen.

A taping method called “buddy taping,” which is when you use gauze or sports tape to help keep the hammertoe in its correct position. This can help reduce your discomfort, but if the toe has become rigid, you may need to seek more aggressive treatment options.

Stretching and strengthening exercises, like placing a towel on the floor and picking it up with your toes have been shown to help.

But if conservative treatment fail to provide relief, you may need to speak with your podiatrist about hammertoe surgery, which is the only to truly correct and stop pain associated with hammertoes.

If you are suffering from hammertoes and would like to speak to one of our physicians, please call 336-3756990 or visit triadfoot.com to request an appointment.

Dr. Titorya Stover graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor of Health Science degree before attending Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, earning her Doctor of Podiatric medicine with a dual master’s degree in Public Health and Biomedical Science. Dr. Stover is Board Certified in foot surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.

Decorating with Patterned Flooring

Get patterned flooring ideas and create a dramatic first impression

R

edesigning a space? Let your flooring inspire the look, not the other way around!

Think about introducing patterned flooring into your room design.

Distinctive natural stone and wood characteristics, or creatively arranged tiles and planks could really make your room stand out.

Patterned flooring is a unique and stylish way to catch the eye and add interest to a room. And you can achieve a unique look with a variety of flooring types and styles.

Patterned Flooring with Stone and Slate Looks The stylish elegance of stone and slate is easy to bring home in most of our flooring categories: engineered tile, luxury vinyl tile, laminate, vinyl sheet or vinyl tile.

Incredible realism and dramatic natural color patterns emerge from the random clefts, mineral veining, and scale variations that look just like what you find in nature — but

without the cold, hard qualities of natural stone.

Rely on the natural color patterns in these stone-look tiles, or enhance the visual interest of your room by customizing your own pattern or choosing a style that designed with an interesting design.

Place same-sized square or rectangular luxury vinyl tiles in a staggered design to add geometric interest to your space.

Create vinyl patterned flooring by installing vinyl tiles on the diagonal instead of square with the walls, or alternate two different stone-look tiles in a checkered pattern.

Combine two or more different sized Alterna® engineered tiles and arrange them randomly, in a herringbone, basketweave or windmill pattern. We offer a wide

variety of sizes and color shades in a single design, to make creating patterns really easy.

Choose vinyl sheet for an array of stone patterns that don’t require any extra work to plan out — they’re already designed in a single sheet with the pattern in place!

We offer products with alternating colors, cobblestone style prints and staggered or basketweave patterns.

Patterned laminate flooring is available in looks that resemble slate or tumbled stone pavers with randomly arranged tiles of different sizes and shapes. Or you can place square stone-look planks in a staggered pattern.

Mike Key owns Majestic Floor Covering. Majestic Floor Covering has been in the construction and flooring business since 2003 and has built many strong relationships with home and business owners. They supply any type of flooring material, color and style that you need, whether hard woods, laminates, tiles, or carpeting.

Patterned Flooring with Natural Hardwood and Wood-Look Flooring Hardwood floors are timeless and enduring. The beautiful natural patterns found in the grain of many wood species can really up the wow factor of a room.

Native hardwoods like Hickory and Walnut have light and dark patterns. Curly figuring is common to Cherry and Maple. And the striated grain of exotic Tigerwood is striking and sophisticated.

You can also get the look of traditional or exotic hardwood in laminate, luxury vinyl and vinyl sheet flooring. Choose one of countless flooring styles that resemble wood with exciting natural grain patterns, textures and color effects.

Here are some other ways to create stunning and unique patterns with natural hardwood or wood-look vinyl or laminate planks:

Mixed Species Choose a reclaimed wood style that features several wood species in the same design, then alternate them randomly or according to the recommended pattern.

Mixed with Planks Create patterns with the same wood species by alternating different width boards. We offer mixed-width styles that feature a strip, plank and wide-width plank.

Color Variations Choose two or more different colors from the same collection to create your own custom pattern.

Checkerboard Pattern Add interest under your feet with a checkerboard floor.

Try the iconic black-and-white pattern in vinyl sheet or vinyl tile to create an elegant backdrop or a retro centerpiece. Or spin the style with a mix of two different shades of the same color, which you can accomplish with any tiled flooring — luxury vinyl, engineered tile, laminate and vinyl tile.

The checkerboard look is even possible with hardwood.

Millwork Square is a parquet-style wood flooring that allows you to create the classic pattern with the same color or two alternating shades.

Whether you choose vinyl, engineered tile, laminate or hardwood — and whether you find your pattern inspiration in the natural wood or stone characteristics or in a design of your own making — you’ll find that flooring can flooring can be an easy way to make a oneof-a-kind design statement. asheboromagazine.com | 15

ASK THE EXPERT YOUR TAXES

F

DISABLED VETS GET PAID BACK TAXES UNDER FAIRNESS ACT

or more than two decades, the disability severance payments of combat-injured veterans have been improperly taxed. As a proud and active supporter of our military men and women who risk their lives for our freedom, Liberty Tax will file amended returns of qualified disabled vets for free so they can get paid back the money they deserve.

So how did all this happen in the first place? According to federal law, one-time lump sum disability severance payments to veterans who suffered injuries in combat and were separated from the military were not supposed to be taxed at all. But for more than two decades, taxes were taken out because of limitations in the Department of Defense (DOD) automated payment system. The computerized system didn’t have the option of withholding zero taxes.

Fortunately, this mistake has been corrected by passage of the CombatInjured Veterans Tax Fairness Act, a new federal law that guarantees these severance payments won’t ever be taxed again. Now qualifying disabled veterans from as far back as 1991 will get paid back every penny that was incorrectly withheld. To do so, a Form 1040X Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return must be filed, and Liberty Tax will file it for qualifying veterans for free.

We don’t want to see anyone pay more in taxes than they should, but it is particularly distressing to find out that for years the men and women who have made such major sacrifices for our country have been improperly taxed on disability payments.

Fortunately, our legislators have stepped in to right this wrong, and we couldn’t be more pleased to assist

in this effort.

The DOD is notifying by letter more than 130,000 combat-injured veterans that they may be eligible for this federal tax refund. But qualified vets will only have one year after the DOD provides veterans notice of the amount improperly withheld to claim their refund by filing the 1040X. Which is why we recommend that disabled veterans, once they receive the DOD Fairness Act letter, come into our Liberty Tax office located at 405 E. Dixie Drive so we can file the 1040X, at no charge, to help them get paid back their money as soon as possible.

Our corporate headquarters is located in a major military region and a proud supporter of the USO, we understand the challenges members of the military face when it comes to deployments, combat

zone exclusions, and other complexities of the tax filing process. We also know that taxes are the last thing they need to worry about while serving our country. That is why our professional tax preparers are trained to help veterans and active duty military members file their most accurate return.

Liberty Tax honors our troops and their families and thanks them for their service. To show our appreciation, all season long we offer a 100% accuracy guarantee, a free double-check of tax returns prepared by a competitor, and year-round support to serve our military’s unique scheduling needs.

6 ESSENTIAL TOPICS TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR BUYER’S REPRESENTATIVE

S

o you have made the decision to buy a home.

That’s a big deal and when you start serious house hunting, you will quickly realize there are a lot of choices, and lots of paperwork to deal with!

Make sure you select a reputable real estate agent to represent your best interests. There are several critical items you need to discuss with them in your initial consultation when choosing the best representative: Current market conditions Every real estate market is unique and a buyer’s rep can share details about what’s currently available on the market and other factors that will help you understand how much you’ll need to spend to get what you want in a home.

In addition to having their finger on the pulse of the local housing market, a buyer’s rep can help you choose the best mortgage lender, and get you preapproved before you begin your search so you stay within your budget and make the closing that much easier.

Services provided Most buyers don’t realize how much time and effort goes into finding the right home, successfully negotiating a purchase contract, completing all the steps related to inspections, mortgage financing, and closing documents, plus managing the logistics of

packing and moving.

Ask your buyer’s representative to explain how they can help you throughout the purchasing process. Not all buyer’s reps are the same! Choose an agent with demonstrated experience in representing buyers.

A buyer’s real estate agent can point you in the right direction for sources of information on schools, crime rates, and population demographics, but are not allowed to answer questions like “Is this a good neighborhood?” That’s YOUR decision based on your personal criteria.

Your needs and wants If you’re ready to begin working with your buyer’s agent, it’s time to discuss your housing preferences.

Make sure to discuss everything you are looking for so they can hone in on what will work for you including your preferred home style, the number of bedrooms/bathrooms, how the rooms are arranged, desirable outdoor living features, and commuting considerations.

Also be ready to layout your priorities and tell your agent which features are “essential” versus “nice-tohave.” Most buyers are forced to make trade-offs.

Buyer’s representation agreement If the agent represents you, they must: • promote your best interests • be loyal to you

Call Vickie and let her help you with all of your real estate needs 231 S Fayetteville Street, Asheboro | 336.953.9500 18 | asheboromagazine.com

• follow your lawful instructions • provide you with all material facts that could influence your decisions • use reasonable skill, care and diligence, and • account for all monies they handle for you.

Once you have agreed (either orally or in writing) for the agent to be your buyer’s agent, they may not give any confidential information about you to sellers or their agents without your permission so long as they represent you. But until you make this agreement with your buyer’s agent, you should avoid telling the agent anything you would not want a seller to know Buyer representation agreements are incredibly helpful for clarifying expectations and avoiding misunderstandings. Ask your agent to explain how they handle this aspect of your relationship. You’ll know what services you’re entitled to receive from your agent, as well as what your agent expects from you in return.

Other real estate agents Once you’ve formed a relationship with a buyer’s agent, it’s important to disclose this to other agents encountered during your search. For example, if you drop into an open house, write down your buyer representative’s name, along with yours, when you sign in. (This helps other agents respect your relationship

with your buyer’s rep.)

Also, it’s best to be very tight-lipped about your home search. This includes refraining from expressing how much you love (or hate) a home’s features while touring properties.

Remember, other agents have vested interests in helping sellers find qualified buyers. If you become interested in a property listed by their firm, any information accidentally shared could hurt your negotiating position in the long run.

Compensation Everyone deserves compensation for the services they provide. That includes your buyer’s rep.

Most real estate professionals work strictly on a commission basis, which is only received at the end of a real estate transaction. (Commissions are typically split among several parties, but paid through the listing agent’s brokerage firm, using the seller’s proceeds on the sale.)

Talk to your buyer’s rep about their compensation.

It’s an important detail that’s often misunderstood!

The more you understood about what your buyer’s rep does for you and how they are compensated for their services, the better you’ll feel about working as a team to find your ideal home.

Power of attorney protects loved ones

L

ife is full of the unexpected. But just because the future is unpredictable does not mean adults cannot prepare for what lies ahead. Estate planning is important, and establishing a power of attorney can be essential for men and women looking to protect their financial resources and other assets.

What is a power of attorney?

A power of attorney, or POA, is a document that enables an individual to appoint a person to manage his or her affairs should this individual become unable to do so. The POA grants to an “attorney-in-fact” or “agent” the legal authority to make decisions for the “principal.” The laws for creating a power of attorney vary depending on where a person lives, but there are some general similarities regardless of geography.

Why is a power of attorney needed?

Many people believe their families will be able to step in if an event occurs that leaves them incapacitated and unable to make decisions for themselves. Unfortunately, this is not always true. If a person is not named as an agent or granted legal access to financial, medical and other pertinent information, family members’ hands may be tied. In addition, the courts may appoint someone to make certain decisions for an individual if no POA is named.

Executing a power of attorney does not mean you give up the right to act for yourself. As long as you are capable you will continue to handle your affairs.

Power of attorneys varies Power of attorney is a broad term that covers various aspects of decision-making. There are many variations of POA’s, the most common variations are the health care power of attorney, durable power of attorney, and special power of attorney. Many of the responsibilities overlap, but there are some significant legal differences.

Durable power of attorney, for example, grants the attorney in fact the ability to make decisions regarding your assets and finances. The “durable” part means the document will remain in effect from the time you sign it until you revoke it or you die. Certain powers of attorney may fall within a certain set period of time.

Local students place in SkillsUSA competition, advance to state

F

our local high school students recently placed at the SkillsUSA North Carolina Southwest Regional Rally at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in Salisbury Friday, Feb. 15, and advanced to the state conference.

Randolph Early College High School’s Amanda Frances Martin placed first in Automotive Tool ID, while John Black and Jose Castro, both from Asheboro High School, took second and fourth, respectively, in Automotive Service Beginner High School. AHS’ Seth Knapp placed fifth in Automotive Service Technology High School.

“We have a great winning tradition started here at Randolph Community College’s Automotive Service and Technology Program,” Randolph Community College Automotive Systems Technology Department Head Don Ashley said. “Our students put their skills to the test during the competitions and were very successful. The students represented our school and community with pride.”

All four advanced to the SkillsUSA NC State Conference, slated for April 9-11 at the Greensboro Coliseum and Koury Convention Center. Over 2,700 students, instructors, industry members, and volunteers will be on hand for the largest showcase of Career and Technical Education in the state. Nearly

22 | asheboromagazine.com

2,300 high school and postsecondary students will be competing in over 120 different skills and leadership contests. RCC students will join the four high schoolers at the competition in April.

Transportation costs and registration fees were paid through the RCC Foundation with funds provided by Richard Petty’s Garage. RCC Automotive Systems Technology Instructor Ronald Morris also was instrumental in the students’ and schools’ involvement with SkillsUSA. SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers, and industry working together to ensure that America has a skilled workforce. The Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) is recognized as an integral part of the classroom by the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE).

RCC now offering line dancing classes on two nights

Y

ou’re at a party, a song comes on, and all of a sudden everyone starts doing “The Electric Slide.” Alas, you have to sit this one out — you haven’t got the moves.

Don’t be left out! Randolph Community College is now offering two nights of its popular “Line Dancing” classes, starting Tuesday, April 16.

Not only is it fun, but it’s low-impact exercise. Dancing for an hour equals an average of 2,000 steps and 75 calories burned. Students will get moving to some of today’s biggest music hits and learn to move with confidence and stay fit while having fun, learning several line dances including “The Wobble” and the “Cupid Shuffle.”

This course is for any and all, beginners to advanced dancers.

The classes meet from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesdays, April 16May 21 (#69472), or Thursdays, April 18-May 23 (#69475).

The classes meet in the gymnasium in the J.W. “Willie” Plummer Vocational/Technical Center on the Asheboro Campus. The cost is $30.55.

RCC holding information session about Pfeiffer Elementary Education Program

R

andolph Community College is holding an information session for its Pfeiffer Elementary Education Program Tuesday, April 2, for students interested in beginning an associate degree at RCC before entering the elementary education field, and teaching assistants or other adults interested in earning a bachelor’s degree in elementary education or Bachelor of Arts in special education and becoming licensed teachers.

Information will be given about the program and questions can be answered by Pfeiffer University representatives, who will be on campus. The elementary education program prepares individuals to be teachers in elementary schools.

This collaboration between Pfeiffer and RCC, which began in spring of 2008, is designed for those who hold an associate of arts degree from a community college. The program, which is accredited by the National Council for

Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and approved by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), typically takes two and a half years to complete with online classes throughout the year through RCC and needed inperson classes Monday nights. Occasionally students need to be available at other times for activities such as classroom observations and student teaching.

Financial aid is available for those who qualify.

Scholarships of up to 40 percent off the cost of tuition are available to applicants currently employed full time as a teaching assistant by a public school/agency that requires licensure through the North Carolina Department of Education.

It is not necessary to attend the informational meeting to apply.

The session is from 4-6 p.m. in room 109 of the Administration/Education Center on the Asheboro Campus.

For questions about Pfeiffer’s education programs or the cohort at RCC, contact Pfeiffer Associate Professor of Elementary Education Dr. Angie Kern at angie.kern@pfeiffer. edu, or RCC Psychology Instructor and Pfeiffer Elementary Education Liaison Maria LeBaron at 336-633-0226 or mblebaron@randolph.edu. asheboromagazine.com | 23

Dish it Up with Randolph Health!

ealthy eating and exercise can sometimes seem like a burden, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be as simple as choosing an apple over a cupcake or walking for 10 minutes instead of sitting. Besides helping manage weight, healthy eating and exercise can also help lower your risk for diabetes, high blood pressure and even cancer. That’s why we’ve created Dish it Up! a special event in which we will take one of your favorite dishes and make it healthier.

Join Karen Pfohl, RD, LDN, clinical dietitian, as she hosts “Dish it Up! We are taking mac and cheese and making it healthier!” event. At this event, participants will watch a hands-on demonstration on how to make mac and cheese healthier. Participants will get to sample the “lighter” mac and cheese. The event will be held on Thursday, March 28, 2019 from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. in the Private Dining Room at Randolph Health.

Dish it Up! is a free event that is open to the community. It is one of several community events offered throughout the year. Please register for this event by logging on to www.randolphhealth.org or by calling (336) 633-7788.

AT THE YMCA

By Laura Murphy

A Masquerade Ball 16th Annual Father & Daughter Prom

T

here are many benefits that a daughter gets from spending time with her father. We’ve heard it from experts, seen it on the news, read the articles, and truly just know with common sense- a girl needs her dad. As we all know, though, that “Dad time” does not always just happen. It must be prioritized and planned, just like other important things. One very meaningful and memorable tradition that many Randolph County dads have started with their girls is attending the Annual Father & Daughter Prom- a tradition and place where you can create those irreplaceable memories.

30 | asheboromagazine.com

In October of 2004 the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA partnered with Rock Ola Café, to present the First Annual Father & Daughter Prom. The event was held at Asheboro Country Club with 30 attendees, twelve years later, the event has grown to over 140 participants! In an effort to make the father and daughter dance more prom-like, the YMCA scheduled the event again, just months later in April, 2005 and the change paid off! Growing in size every year, this family event has become one of the RandolphAsheboro YMCA’s most anticipated events and a tradition for many daddies and their “little” girls.

This year’s 16th Annual Father & Daughter Prom will be better than ever! We are proud to once again cosponsor with 105Worth Event Centre to bring you a truly magical night. The Masquerade themed event will be held in 105Worth’s upstairs ballroom, Saturday, March 30th, 2019 from 6 until 9pm (check-in beginning at 5:30) with catering of heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages provided by Something Different. Dads and daughters of ALL ages are welcome at the Father & Daughter Prom.

Participants will enjoy music, dancing and receive a commemorative photo, as well as, door prizes and giveaways! Tickets are on sale now through March 24th at the Front Desk of the YMCA; they will NOT be sold after March 11th.

All proceeds benefit the Y-Give Scholarship Program.

This year thousands of children, adults, and seniors will come to the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA for friendship, exercise, fun, education, childcare and sports. Many others will not be able to afford the cost of the programs and services they need. The YMCA wants to make sure that everyone who needs a Y program has the chance to participate. People who qualify are not turned away because of the inability to pay. The funds raised in our annual “Y Give” Campaign are used to provide scholarships for children, adults, seniors, single parents and others with special needs that lack financial resources.

Please don’t miss-out on this very special night!

Contact the YMCA with any questions 336-625-1976 or visit www.randolphasheboroymca.com.

Let’s Talk About It

Human Sexuality An Endangered Species

H

ey all, I am so excited to connect with you!

I must begin this second article with a HUGE “Thank You” to everyone who has reached out to us from my first “Let’s Talk About It” article last month.

The positive and supportive feedback means more to me than any of you know, and we look forward to what the future has in store.

Now... Let’s dig in!!

So what exactly did I mean when giving this article its title? Well, to fully understand we must first look at the education we are given and how that sets each one of us up for failure. The world we live in today is a very confusing sexual culture at best. There are only two extremes modeled and if we don’t fit into one or the other ... we are left on our own to find our way and figure it out.

On one side we have the puritans. These are the ones who hush our questions and teach us to avoid our curiosity. Fear is used as a tool to keep us from seeking a deeper understanding of something we clearly feel and need the answers to. This side and the lack of communication teach us that our sexuality is something to be ashamed of.

On the other side is the extreme. Pressure, pornography, locker-room talk, Hollywood imaging, filters, Photoshop, the list goes on. This side tells us what our sexuality is supposed to look like, feel like, and act like. We are given an unrealistic idea of what we are supposed expect of ourselves, our partner, and what our sexuality is supposed to provide for us.

Somehow we find ourselves in 2019 where the topic of sex is still taboo and remains forbidden territory. You would think after 200,000 years as a species, we would have evolved into this fundamental part of our make-up.

However, when we’re ping-ponged between these modeled extremes ... I guess it comes as no surprise that we are confused and understanding our sexuality is so complicated.

This is why we do what we do.

The majority do not fit into either of these extremes, yet have limited resources and/or

education available. No one wants to filter through the garbage on the Internet. We create and openly invite conversations around this topic every single day, and we demonstrate that talking about it can be comfortable... as it should be. We listen without judgment and provide resources where we can. We’ve learned that when provided the right environment, people feel safe. And we believe that everyone should have that support considering it plays such a big roll in our lives.

The more we talk about it, the more people will understand that our sexuality is so much more than an act, an organ, or an outcome. Human sexuality is emotion and wisdom and self-awareness. It is more than skin deep and it begins long before we invite another into our experience. As with any endangered species, this part of us needs to be protected ... and it is up to us to become comfortable and open to the ONLY thing all of us have in common.

Here with The Ears Follow a Couple Spending a Year With “The Ears” at Walt Disney World

F

rom the Disney Princess Race to a VIP Tour to Disney resort activities, Robert and Alyssa from Here with the Ears have been staying busy doing and reviewing as much as they can at Walt Disney World these first two months of their year long stay in the Walt Disney World resorts. Here are just a few of the highlights since we last read about them.

Disney Princess Half Marathon Run From February 22-24, Disney hosted a Princess Race that allows guests to run a 5k, 10k, and/or half marathon.

Robert and Alyssa participated in the Princess Half Marathon and made it the entire 13.1 miles in the Florida heat! Some of the special things Disney offers during these races are special characters that can’t normally be found in the parks. There were Disney villains, Disney princes, special fairies, and so much more that they were able to see along their running path. At the end of the race, they got a medal with Aurora on it and a small snack box. To celebrate their victory, they went and ate a ton of 43 | asheboromagazine.com

food at the buffet at Trail’s End restaurant. I think they deserved it, don’t you?

VIP Tours At Walt Disney World, you can take VIP tours throughout the different parks. These tours allow you to find out more about the Disney parks and see behind-the-scenes at some of the different attractions and restaurants.

Robert and Alyssa plan to do all of these tours, and have already gone on two since our last article. They took the Keys to the Kingdom tour that tells the history of Magic Kingdom and goes backstage to the tunnels under the park. Definitely a neat experience for anyone and it was very special to see how some of the magic is made.

The other tour was the Taste of Magic Kingdom VIP Tour. This tour allowed them to try food from around the Magic Kingdom and learn about a few of the different kitchens and how they operate on a daily basis to serve

so many guests. It was such a fun experience with lots of yummy food!

Festivals Disney World is known for their many festivals and special events they have all throughout the year. Robert and Alyssa make sure they’re at each one to review and document everything that goes on at each of these (don’t forget to follow their blog for daily/weekly updates). EPCOT just finished their Festival of the Arts, where they were able to eat snacks at the all around the World Showcase, learn how to draw Disney characters, participate in a scavenger hunt through the countries, and Robert and Alyssa’s favorite part: the Disney on Broadway concert series every night. Performers from many of the

44 | asheboromagazine.com

Disney on Broadway plays sang songs in a show that was so amazing to see and hear every night.

The newest festival at EPCOT is EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival where you can see horticulture from all over the world, extra plants and flowers all over the park, topiaries, a butterfly tent, beautiful and yummy treats throughout the park, and special merchandise.

Robert and Alyssa have already gone multiple times to eat and review the snacks, enjoy the sights, and see all the special offerings in the park for the festival. It’s one of the prettiest times of the year in the park, so they are making sure they enjoy as much of it as they can.

And So Much More Robert and Alyssa are constantly trying new things, reviewing new food, and hopping to a different resort every 2-3 nights to review as many resorts as they can in the year they’re living at Walt Disney World. A few of their favorites so far have been their stays at The Contemporary Resort (modern and walking distance to Magic Kingdom), Wilderness Lodge Resort (rustic, woodsy theme with a great view), Coronado Springs Resort (southwestthemed resort with great quick-service food), and Port Orleans French Quarter Resort (small, quiet resort with live music every weekend). They’ve also done many of Disney’s special late-night events for Passholders and DVC Members, but they’re looking forward to reviewing the After Hours Events Disney does before and after the parks open. Hopefully we’ll find out soon what they think of those.

Of course, we can’t forget about food! Some of the highlights from their dining experiences have been Storybook Dining at Artist Point (character dining with a delicious menu), Sebastian’s Bistro (beautiful restaurant serving Jamaican-style food at Caribbean Beach Resort), Olivia’s Cafe (small mom-and-pop-style cafe), and

Beaches and Cream (soda shop with ice cream and burgers). You can find their pictures, videos, and reviews on all their social media channels and their website. With so many more places still to stay and eat, and many more events to experience, we can’t wait to hear what else they’re up to throughout the rest of the year!

di’lishi closes the doors in asheboro

or the first time in a long time, the sun was actually shining in Asheboro, but inside di’lishi Frozen Yogurt on Dixie Drive it was raining tears.

Marlo Francis announced in a very personal, heartfelt note on Facebook that the Asheboro location of di’lishi Frozen Yogurt was closing due to personal reasons. While this will not affect the other eight locations in five states that opened in recent years, it was a very sad day for the Asheboro community. di’lishi Frozen Yogurt opened in 2011 and quickly became a popular hangout for locals and visitors alike. She and Steve can both walk away proud of what they created together for the community, and hopefully inspired other local businesses to find ways to get involved and give back.

When a partnership comes to an end, in business or in marriage, there are consequences that have to be dealt with. Unfortunately, so many people in the world today understand how painful a divorce can be.

In the aftermath of it, when the dust settles you want to be able to look back on that time and see things that matter. Obviously, their children fall into that category, but di’lishi is something that Marlo hopes will have made a lasting impact on the community as well. She did not make this deicision lightly, but with a very heavy heart.

Life is made up of moments, and sometimes in the most unexpected ways you are taken back to past experiences that take you off guard. When Marlo sat down to write the post announcing the closure, the immediate outpouring of love and support when it

48 | asheboromagazine.com

went live took her back to when her first husband passed away and the community reached out to embrace her.

I sat down with Marlo the day of her announcement, and she shared her hope that someday, in some form or another, di’lishi will be back in Asheboro.

The morning after her announcement, when Marlo arrived to open the store, there was a customer already waiting for her. She hugged Marlo and started crying, saying she was going to miss di’lishi and she was so sad to hear it was closing. That scene and sentiment were carried out over the course of the next several days leading up to Saturday, March 2nd when Marlo held a special customer appreciation event for her last day until the taps ran dry.

Many customers told her stories about how they celebrated victories and defeats with their children at di’lishi, or when their loved ones were sick and couldn’t keep anything down, di’lishi was the only thing they could eat.

Marlo is extremely proud that as a small private business, she was able to create a partnership with Randolph Health that offered their patients the option of choosing di’lishi from their menu choices when they were at the hospital. That was one of many proud moments she has had over the years since creating di’lishi.

While in this season of transition, this sense of community has been flowing from her franchisees as well. Rather than worrying about how this change

of her story.

Marlo stressed to me that she wants to thank the community and other local businesses from the bottom of her heart for their business and support over the past eight years. I’d like to turn that back on her and thank her for all she has done for this community through her support of local non-profit organizations, to her leading by exampe and helping make this community a vibrant, upbeat and caring place to live. I look forward to seeing what comes next for and from Marlo, and I wish her well in all she endeavors. I hope she knows how much Asheboro loves her.

will affect their businesses, which Marlo assured me will continue to do well and make a difference in their communities, they wanted to know how they could help her The di’lishi philosophy lives on the inside, and it practices what it preaches every day as evidenced by this reaction to the news.

Over the next several months, Marlo will be taking a step back to settle her personal affairs, take care of her children, and regroup. If you know Marlo and the di’lishi mission to “create something more...” then you know that up under that big hair of hers, that is exactly what she is going to do. She’s looking forward to turning the page, and getting into the next chapter

Emerging Artist Series The Zinc Kings Thursday, March 14th from 6-8 pm; Sunset Theatre - $10 ticket at the door

T

he Emerging Artists Series was born out of a need for the Randolph Arts Guild to highlight and showcase local talent. We at the RAG want to support local artists in any shape possible to help them gain exposure and popularity. Emerging Artists concerts will be held once a month at the Sunset Theatre from 6-8 pm.

Admission is $10 at the door. Please come out and enjoy the talents of our local musicians!

The Zinc Kings began as a side-project in the fall of 2010 for musicians playing in the University of North Carolina Greensboro Old Time ensemble.

Christen Blanton, Dan Clouse and Mark Dillon realized that while they loved Appalachian music there was a huge area of music that was not being addressed, the music of the North Carolina Piedmont. Music from this region tends to be more heavily influenced by the blues tradition and it is reflected in the playing of many of the tunes played.

After starting the band they quickly found themselves overwhelmed by demand for music from the North Carolina Piedmont.

Each the three founding members have long backgrounds in music. Blanten is a professional viola player, Dillon a longtime songwriter and Clouse a professional tuba player. Very few of these skills make it into the Zinc Kings but their experience in playing the music is reflected in their lively performances.

Since their inception as a band in the fall of 2010 The Zinc Kings have been playing seemingly non-stop including performances at local venues and festivals including Hoppin’ John fiddle festival, The Charlie Poole Festival, Fiddler’s Grove and multiple private engagements. In the summer of 2011 The Zinc Kings became the house band for the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Theaterfest production of Where Music Kills Sorrow.

In the spring of 2011 The Zinc Kings released their self-titled debut album The Zinc KIngs. Recorded over
