//PUBLISHER'S LETTER Dear Readers, In business it is said if you aren’t growing, you’re dying. While I don’t necessarily subscribe to this point of view, I feel fortunate that our “mom and pop” publishing company is evolving into a much larger endeavor.

TO

FROM AND

ENROLLED AS AN 8'" GRADER AT KISER MIDDLE SCHOOL. HE THEN WENT ON TO ATTEND GRIMSLEY HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE HE PLAYED FOOTBALL AND POLE VAULTED FOR THE TRACK TEAM. DR.

MACDONALD

ATTENDED

THE

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ON A POLEVAULTING SCHOLARSHIP, TO STUDY CHEMISTRY. In 1977, he applied to the UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, and graduated in 1981. Upon graduation, he returned to the Triad and started his dental practice here in Archdale.

In 2006, Dr. Macdonald decided to begin training in the area of implant dentistry so he could provide his patients with even more quality dentistry. Between 2006•and 2011, Dr. Macdonald went to over 500 hours of continuing education training, and in 2009, he received his Fellowship in the ICOI (International Congress of Oral lmplantology) in New Orleans, Louisiana. In the field of dentistry, dental implants are growing in popularity, and are a permanent and affordable way to replace missing teeth!

Over the years, his practice has steadily grown

8

archdale & trinity magazine

from a small office on Baker Road with one hygienist, to a 4500 square foot building on Highway 311, next to Creekside Park in 2000. In 2005, the practice had grown to the point where he needed to take on a partner. When he mentioned to the Patterson Dental rep that he was looking to add someone to his practice, they put the word out and introduced him to Dr. Tesha Whaley, a 2005 graduate of UNC School of Dentistry.

Dr. Whaley grew up in Mint Hill, near Charlotte. She met her husband while they were in high school there, and they have been married for twelve years. She studied Chemical Engineering at NC State University, and worked in the engineering field for four years. After working a couple of years, she decided that her true passion was dentistry, so she went back to school at

UNC Chapel Hill to study dentistry.

Together Drs. Macdonld and Whaley offer patients a full service one-stop dental practice, from general dentistry with cleanings, fillings, xrays and whitening; to more advanced options like implants, orthodontics, crowns, full mouth rehabilitation and porcelain veneers.

Their office is equipped with the latest technology designed to diagnose and treat their patients' dental needs. Their knowledgeable staff is there to consult with you and offer counsel on the best options available for you to preserve or create your healthy, beautiful smile.

During the first 5 years of Dr. Whaley's practicing with Dr. Macdonald, she decided to pursue advanced training at the Las Vegas Institute for Neuromuscular studies, to help patients with TMJ dysfunction and learn the latest

cosmetic dental procedures. A healthy bite needs the muscles, bones, teeth and nerves of the head and face all working together properly. If there is a problem in one of these areas, it can affect your teeth and TMJ, causing many neuromuscular issues like migraines, joint pain, head & neck pain, along with other symptoms. She received a fellowship from LVI in 2010 and is one of the few dentists in the state to obtain this designation.

"We feel that dentistry is not just about teeth themselves, but the more we understand the connection between oral health and overall wellness, the more we can serve our patients," Keith Macdonald. The office has a GALlLEOS 3D Cone Beam Scanner which takes a complete dental scan in as little as 14 seconds. The superior level of detail provides a dear and precise atmagnc.com

view of all teeth, roots, gum lines, and defects or imperfections, and it automatically generates a panoramic reconstruction. This makes the scanning and diagnostic process much faster and easier on the patient and the dentist. They use this technology to guide them in the precise placement of implants.

Macdonald & Whaley is one of just a handful of dental offices in North Carolina that utilizes such advanced dental technology.

Continuing education is very important to keep up with developments in the field, in both technique and technology, and Drs. Macdonald & Whaley spend 100s of hours at continuing education courses. They travel to conferences all over the US to stay current in the advances in the dental field, and often take their staff as well, so that they are better equipped to assist

10

archdale & trinity magazine

them in offering exceptional patient care. Many of their staff have been with the practice for many years, and the turnover rate is very low.

Joi Skeen, the Office Manager has worked at the practice for over 20 years, and her mother also works there. The atmosphere in the office is a pleasant and comfortable one, and you can tell that everyone gets along and loves what they are doing. They work hard to make the patient feel comfortable when they arrive and develop relationships with all of them.

With 15 employees in the office, it's like a large extended family. They often get together outside of work to celebrate their children's birthdays, and other special occasions.

One of the newest services that the practice offers is the Six Month Smiles, which is an effective and affordable cosmetic braces solution for adults that offers a less invasive

and less expensive option than other teeth straightening procedures. Six Month Smiles utilizes specialized clear brackets that gently straighten and align teeth in adults with the use of wires specifically designed for each individual patient which can straighten their teeth in as little as 6 months. The clear brackets and tooth colored wires are barely visible, so the patient isn't embarrassed to have braces. This is a growing industry, as many adults who didn't have access to braces as children now want to have their teeth straightened.

In 2010, Dr. Macdonald built an addition to the building to house an on-site lab, furnished with state of the art equipment to create crowns for their patients, sometimes while they are waiting. Their commitment to excellence and patient care shows in every aspect of their work. Being able to provide the services offered

by the lab to their patients allows them to minimize the time someone has to wait for their dental work to be done, while ensuring it's the highest quality craftsmanship.

Their experienced staff provides top-notch customer service to every patient, and from the time I have spent at their office on several different occasions, the staff really loves what they do and they have an exceptional working relationship with each other, the dentists, and their patients. The warm welcoming atmosphere at Macdonald & Whaley, coupled with the skill and expertise of the staff, are the reasons people

have been patients for over 20 years, and their children are now taking their families there.

Dr. Macdonald resides in Greensboro with his wife, Terri of 30 years. Together, they have three sons, Andrew, Daniel and Bradley.

Andrew, the oldest, has a Masters in Humanistic Psychology from the University of West Georgia. Daniel will be joining his father in the dental practice as soon as he graduates from the University of Louisville School Of Dentistry in Kentucky.

Bradley is currently at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and is pursuing a career in the dental field

as well. They enjoy vacationing in the Caribbean and purchased a small villa overlooking the beach, and try to get there as often as they can.

Dr. Whaley is married to her high school sweetheart, and they have beautiful eighteen month old twins, a boy, Rylan, and a girl, Reece. She and her family live in Jamestown with their Boykin Spaniel and when she isn't working, she enjoys working out at the local YMCA, spending time with her family or relaxing at the beach.

Drs. Macdonald & Whaley and their staff would be pleased to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family to their practice. n

Project Racing Home

By Chelsea Tolman

"As we chatted with Kimberly, Wendy curled up on her cushion, covered up in her blanket, and Moon sprawled on his own comfy bed and the two fell fast asleep."

archdale & trinity magazine

J

ust envision smooth, sleek muscles on a slender body beating a path down an oval track. Picture the streamlined, wind resistant form of a racing Greyhound. This is a scene you won’t soon forget. Bred for their incredible speed and trained to think swiftly, while navigating around a track with seven other hounds is more amazing than I realized.

When we walked into the front office of Project Racing Home, we were greeted by Moon (for Blue Moon) and Wendy (yes, for Wendy’s), two of the Director of Project Racing Home, Kimberly Jewell’s own Greyhounds. Wendy kept wrapping her head and neck around my leg soaking up the attention and then Moon would try to get in the middle of the action by pushing through our outstretched, scratching hands. They reminded me of children vying for their parents’ attention. As we chatted with Kimberly, Wendy curled up on her cushion, covered up in her blanket,

and Moon sprawled on his own comfy bed and the two fell fast asleep. It was then we realized that we knew nothing about these animals.

For the first 12 months of a Greyhound’s life, the puppies do nothing but play. They compete with their siblings to be top dog in the litter, but are as pampered and loved as children. When they hit the one year mark, a professional trainer takes over and starts the lessons needed to turn these babies into thinking, racing machines. As they grow into racing Greyhounds, they are kept to a strict regimen of rest, sleep and race training. The fat gets turned to muscle and the once playful active babies become unbelievably toned and muscled. The food they are given is all natural,

They sure look and sound like high maintenance animals, and even I thought they would be an energetic mess, but I was quickly corrected. Greyhounds are very docile, friendly and lazy. They sleep approximately 20 hours and only eat 4 cups of food a day! Obviously they differ in personalities and energy levels, just like people, and when an adoption occurs it’s up the parents to figure out what their Greyhound’s individual needs are. You must remember that these Greys have spent their life with rigid structure in daily routine and need the adoptive parents’ time and patience to adapt to a life of retirement.

Greyhounds have a deep rooted history dating back 4,000 years, and are even mentioned in the King James version

Greyhounds have a deep rooted history dating back 4,000 years, and are even mentioned in the King James version of the Bible (Proverbs 30:29-31) with fats and irons to keep them fit, trim and avoid muscle cramps. Depending on their ability to race successfully, retirement comes between the age of two and four.

So where do they go when the glitz and glamour of their incredibly short career is over? Kimberly had the answer.

They are adopted to new homes and are cared for like the royalty their bloodline suggests. The need for good homes for these incredible animals is great, and Kimberly and her staff (volunteers of about 30) work tirelessly to protect the well-being of these magnificent hounds. Currently, they average 150 adoptions a year and roughly 60 from other rescues. These animals are vetted and checked for the types of homes they would be best suited for before any adopting occurs. The adoptive parents are given a folder with the Grey’s history, bloodline and information on every aspect of their new child’s life.

The mission of Project Racing Home is to educate the public about the misconception people have of Greyhounds.

of the bible (Proverbs 30:29-31). Greyhounds have been revered all over the Middle East and throughout Europe all the way back to ancient times. Their pictures are etched on the walls of Egyptian tombs, and Pharaohs revered them as first of all animals. They were so admired by Arabs their birth ranked only second to that of the importance of the birth of a son and the only animal permitted to share their tents and ride the camels. In fact, in 1014 King Canute of England stated that only nobleman could hunt with Greyhounds.

In the 1500’s, Queen Elizabeth I inaugurated the Pursuit of Hares, officially the “Sport of Queens.” Shockingly the Greyhound Hall of Fame is actually in Abilene, Kansas! I know I never would have guessed that. The Greyhound was imported to the Americas in the late 1800’s to assist Midwestern Farmers with their jackrabbit problem. Around 1912 the invention of the mechanical rabbit by Owen Patrick Smith, made the circular track possible and in 1919, the first racing track opened in California. You can read more atmagnc.com

15

about the Greyhounds incredible history in Project Racing Homes Adoption Manual, or Googling it online.

With these facts in mind it is no wonder that the parents used for breeding these pups are the best of the best and extremely valuable. Every attempt at pregnancy is recorded and published, then the breeders must publish whether there was a successful pregnancy or not. It goes even deeper, every Greyhound born (alive or stillborn) is tattooed on one ear with the birth date and the order number of each pup, and then the other ear is tattooed with their litter #. Every Greyhound is DNA tested and breeding is so regulated that there are only approx. 10,000 bred each year. Your Greyhound would come with a bloodline that you can readily track back to the 1800’s! So when you adopt a Greyhound you are not just getting a dog you are getting royalty.

Greyhound rescue facilities, like Project Racing Home, are 100% privately funded and are in need of donations and volunteers to keep the facilities well-maintained and the hounds fed and healthy. The website www.getagreyhound. com has an abundant amount of information on how to contribute to the overall success of these retirees.

Donations of food, including chicken and turkey carcasses, chicken broth, vegetables, rice, pasta and supplies such as bleach, pine-sol, paper towels, toilet paper, dog shampoo, and many more items are needed for the facility to operate.

Even donating your time as a volunteer is a priceless gift to keep these facilities running.

As we readied to leave, Kimberly asked if we wanted to hear the dogs sing. Of course the answer was “Yes!” so we proceeded to the back of the building where the “condos” were located. On this day there were about 40 dogs housed there. Kimberly stood in the middle of the room and started to howl and in no time we were surrounded by all pitches of howling Greyhounds echoing off the walls. Every condo we approached was a Grey with “take me home” eyes, scrunched as close to the opening as they could get, looking for just a smidgen of human contact. Take a minute today to look at the Greyhounds available for adoption at www.petfinder.com.

The facility is located at Hwy 220 & Hwy 62 and is in need of your help. Kimberly has a vision of the land they own becoming a park-like retreat for Greyhounds and a place where other rescues can bring their dogs for exercise and comingling, but without help, the adjoining land will stay vacant and bare, as it has for the past 5 years. Please consider a small portion of your time or table scraps to help Kimberly and her volunteers continue to care for these beautiful creatures, while searching for their forever homes.

You can contact Kimberly Jewell at Project Racing Home by calling 336-674-5774, or visiting www.getagreyhound. com. You can also email her at projectracinghome@yahoo. com, or stop in at the facility located at 7015 Faulkner Road in Randleman. n

Archdale Senior Center

by jacquie Reininger

T

he Archdale Senior Center will hold free community bingo for senior citizens 60 and older at 2 pm the last Wednesday of each month.

Home Instead Senior Care is sponsoring the March Bingo on March 27th at 2 pm. Prizes and refreshments will be provided.

Canvas Creator at the Archdale Senior Center Free painting classes are offered to the first 10 seniors age 60 and older to sign up each month. The Canvas Creator class is held at 2 pm the third Friday of every month.

The next class will be April 19 2013 at 2:00 pm. Please call 336-431-1938 to reserve your spot. The Randolph County Senior Center is located in Creekside Park, Archdale.

The oldest client to paint in the first class held is Alene Roberts (next to the gentleman in the picture). She is 88 years young. She met her husband at the Senior Center.

Robby Roberts (sitting next to her in the photo) came to the center to volunteer for a Meals on Wheels route to occupy his time after his first wife had passed on. He arrived at the center a little early, so he could attend training on how to do the Meals on Wheels route. He spotted Alene when she came in the door, she was also there for training to learn

how to do a route. Robby said they talked a little and he asked if he could have her number and said he would like to call her and take her out on a date.

Robby stated that Alene thought about it for a minute and then said ok, but she just turned and walked away and went and sit down without even giving it to him. He was up for the chase! The next time he saw her he was determined to get her number, and he did. Robby and Alene were married in 2001 and every year since they have celebrated their anniversary at the Archdale Center.

Also pictured in the photo, the last lady on the back row to the right is Bobbie Bibeau, who is soon to be 75 years old.

She offered to teach this class at no charge, both to give back and to help seniors realize that they can paint. She is not a professional but she learned how to do this through the High Point Cancer Center program provided by Wine and Dine out of Jamestown. She is truly an inspiration, she volunteers at the cancer center once a week, goes bowling once a week and also runs a Meals on Wheels route for the Archdale Senior every other week. In addition to that, she has now added the Senior Canvas Creator every third Friday free to Seniors 60 and over to her schedule. n atmagnc.com

Jack said, "Watching the moon rise here makes me wistful."

"Why?" asked Don. "How many summer moon rises will you see? How many full moon rises will you be standing on this porch? If you are standing here, how many will rise on a clear night? How many full moon rises will you see in your lifetime from this vantage point, from any vantage point, standing anywhere on this earth? Not many.

So I savor each one, knowing each full moon I see is one of few I will ever see, and each full moon I see brings me closer to the last full moon I'll see, and taken together, all the beautiful moons I see measure the passing of my life."

Let’s Pray: Dear God, there's a time for everything and everything is limited in time, especially human life. Thanks for the time we have here. May the many moons we spend alive allow us time to dance, and mourn, sow and reap, laugh and weep. May our lives be fully lived with beauty before our setting comes.

Dinosaurs Return to NC ZOo

D

on’t tell the folks at the North Carolina Zoo that dinosaurs are extinct. They'll have a park full of them starting March 30.

But these aren't ghosts from the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods. Through the magic of futuristic technology, these mammoth, life-like animatronic creatures will offer a fullblown dino-reality experience to zoo visitors as they travel back in time along a lush, winding pathway with ancient plants, where adventure lurks at every turn.

As part of this limited-engagement, outdoor exhibit-Dinosaurs--visitors will encounter dinosaurs representing seven species that once roamed North America throughout the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods--from triceratops, the three-horned favorite of dinosaur lovers, to the savage dimetrodon, one of the fiercest predators of its time.

During their trek back in time, visitors will encounter 16 dinosaurs and make some incredible discoveries of their own. They'll be able to explore a paleontologist's tent and get the latest scoop on fossil sites in North Carolina. At the end of the excursion, they can dig around in fossil pits for an ancient relic to take home or climb aboard a yellow jeep for a family photo. But a warning: Be careful of that T-Rex! Real dinosaurs, of course, became extinct ages ago, but these life-sized "built" dinosaurs offer best-guess

snapshots of those prehistoric animals based on the most up-todate research. Each is fitted with its own electronic brain to control the movements and to produce sounds.

The realistic movements are powered by a pneumatic-piston system that enables the dinosaurs to move smoothly and precisely.

These giant mechanical dinosaurs were designed and built to scale by Texas-based Billings Productions, North America’s largest maker of lifesize animatronic dinosaurs for zoos, museums and theme parks. Their creations include 50 different species-from allosaurus to Tyrannosaurus rex. Their clients have include zoos in Fort Worth, Houston, Cincinnati and Detroit as well as Dinovotion in France and Misaki Park in Japan.

The company, founded in 2003, is one of only a few enterprises in the world that produce large, life-size animatronic dinosaurs for traveling and permanent exhibits and is the only U.S. company that specializes in creating animatronic creatures that can withstand the outdoor elements.

Each dinosaur is built on a steel frame and meticulously equipped with textured, intricately painted rubber skin, bold colors and theatrical

touches that make it seem real.

State-of-the-art electronics power each dinosaur. Realistic movements include grasping hands, menacing claws and gnashing teeth. One of the animatronic creatures can even be operated by visitors using a remote control box.

"Kids really connect with the dinosaurs," said Tom O'Konowitz, marketing assistant at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, where the exhibit had a record-breaking run. "They tend to already know a lot about the different species when they get to the zoo. You can see how excited they get when they're up close with these huge creatures right in front of them."

The exhibit will run through the Fall and will be located in the zoo's Africa region between the RJ Reynolds Forest Aviary and Africa Pavilion exhibits. n

Upcycle Gardening

By Chelsea Tolman

hat are the essential ingredients for growing a garden?

Of course it depends on what type of plants you want to grow, but sunlight, nutrients and water are the main components for colorful flowers and delicious vegetables and fruits. Don’t throw out those old shoes, or the faulty coffee pot….plant it! Who thought you could beautify your yard and home with an old frying pan by growing hen and chicks surrounded with pebbles. Colorful flowers sprouting from old cowboy boots by the front door brings new life to what most people would have thrown away. The new craze of “upcycling” is growing in popularity in all facets of our lives.

There is no sense in buying new when you can refurbish the old and there is no exception when it comes to gardening. Look at any sidewalk crack or hollow tree and you find life sprouting all over, wherever it can take hold.

Plants, flowers and even trees find their way to nutrients and take root where they can. How about an old milk jug crowded with English ivy and a sprig of periwinkle bursting from carefully placed holes? The possibilities are endless. That set of rickety old chest of drawers, open the drawers and make a layered garden of your choice. The possibilities are endless if you take the time to look. Got a dead tree, don’t burn the stump, upcycle it. As a conscientious consumer, why do we repeatedly finds ways to throw things away when it’s incredibly easy to turn your trash into new useful things. Inside the house or outside in the yard, you can choose to recycle your junk and keep our landfill from filling up.

All you need is a bag of soil, some water, and plant seeds of your choice.

Then just make sure the container you choose gives your seeds the nurturing environment it needs. The back of any seed pack comes with instructions for the depth of planting, how often it needs water, if the container needs to have holes and how much sunlight it requires. Then

pick out which coffee pot or old boot you wish to use. Voila! You have created up cycled treasures that your friends and neighbors are sure to be jealous of. And just think of the trend you will start. Become a hero and take the trash out of the trash. n

//INTRODUCTION

I

n 1990, I wrote a business plan for a magazine titled “Friends.” The idea was to publish a national magazine that contained upbeat, positive and inspirational content. I sent the business plan to approximately 100 friends, relatives and venture capitalists. Only a handful of them bothered to reply, but the responses were all the same; “people do not want to read good news… bad news sells.” Needless to say, I was a bit discouraged.

I was tired of reading about death and destruction and I was certain others were, too. Without the capital needed to move forward, I decided to “backburner” the project.

Fast forward 20 years and, while not national, my idea came to fruition in the form of Asheboro Magazine.

Because it was so well received, I started thinking that perhaps I could fulfill my dream of spreading a positive, upbeat and inspirational message one community at a time. With this in mind, I developed a plan to show others

Continued on page 30 “We are so excited about the opportunity to operate this wonderful gift to the community as well as share the amazing skills of our local business owners. The idea of sharing local talent, events and people is a gift we could not have created ourselves. When we met Sherry and Dave and understood what this magazine does for the community, it was a no brainer to agree to run it. Sherry and Dave, as you may know, are extraordinary people and they have worked tirelessly in the positive community magazine arena. It is an honor to step into their shoes.

We call out for ideas for articles and local people who need to be spotlighted as well as stories to share with our readers. We also ask businesses to help support this amazing magazine for their community as well as advertise their expertise, knowing you will reach your customers more effectively than any other media source for the cost. These spaces are filling up incredibly fast, so don’t hesitate to get your name and face on the cover. Be a supporter.”

archdale & trinity magazine

Chelsea Tolman Chelsea was born in Bozeman, Montana, where most of her extended family still resides. She was born the middle child of 4 boys and 2 girls. Raised in Sandy, Utah, she attended school there until her father opened an architectural business in Las Vegas, Nevada when she was 14. She went from a sleepy little town to city life. She attended a vocational school for auto mechanics and ended up running a truck pic-a-part and metal recycling facility. It was here she found a passion for funeral service. The school she chose to attend was in Decatur, Georgia, so she packed her things and moved. She served her apprenticeship at White Columns Funeral Chapel in Mableton, GA and when she got her license, continued to work as a director and embalmer.

In October of 2010, after a yearlong search for the right opportunity and community, she accepted the Location Management job at Sechrest Funeral Service in Archdale. Many of you know her from here and understand her commitment and passion for this community. She is involved in the Archdale Trinity Chamber of Commerce and currently sits on the board. She has supported community charities while at Sechrest and is thrilled to continue to serve with the magazine.

She recently resigned from the funeral home and purchased Archdale & Trinity Magazine due to circumstances not in her control. It is uncanny that the magazine aligns with her dedication and skill set to serve her community more actively.

how to make a difference in their community by duplicating what we did in Asheboro. With this in mind, seven months ago we launched Archdale & Trinity Magazine with the goal of getting it up and running and turning it over to someone that is as passionate about the Archdale & Trinity communities as we are about Asheboro. At the same time, with friends from Ashe County, Sherry and I started Positive Community Magazines, LLC to spread the idea in the form of a magazine publishing business in a box to the rest of the country and beyond.

It is with great pleasure that I announce we have found our first Independent Community Publishers, Chelsea Tolman and Lisa Winslett, who will be taking over the publishing duties of Archdale & Trinity Magazine with the help of Lori Gerlock. All three of these ladies are very passionate about the community. They are active with the Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations.

Their goal, like ours, is to publish an upbeat community magazine dedicated to representing, encouraging and celebrating the great area they call home by focusing on the lifestyles, talents, gifts and contributions of the people who live and work here.

Please extend Chelsea, Lisa and Lori the same support that you have graciously given us and help them shed light on the great things that happen in and around Archdale and Trinity. After all, this is really your magazine. It is written for and about you and everyone else that calls this great community home. n
