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. The
idea of publishing a hyper-local magazine that focuses on
the positive and upbeat in a community is an idea whose
time has come. This brings me to another of my favorite
quotes, “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity”. In
this sense I am a very lucky person.
This is my last month as publisher of Archdale & Trinity
Magazine. As part of our business expansion plans, it is
our goal to launch positive community magazines across
the country by fi nding likeminded people that share our
passion, and will be known as Independent Community
Publishers (ICPs). I am happy to announce that Chelsea
Tolman, who is very active in the Archdale-Trinity Chamber
and feels passionately about the community, has become
our fi rst ICP as the publisher of Archdale & Trinity Magazine
starting in April. You can read more about her on page 28.
She has put together a great team to work on the magazine,
Lisa Winslett as her graphic designer, and Lori Gerlock
will manage the advertising sales for the publication. We
know we will see great things from this dynamic team in
the future.
I have enjoyed getting to know the businesses and
residents in the Archdale & Trinity communities, and look
forward to continuing the relationships I have developed
over the past seven months.
Thanks for Reading,

MACDONALD & WHALEY
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
AS A TEENAGER, KEITH MACDONALD MOVED WITH HIS PARENTS TO GREENSBORO FROM
WYCKOFF, NEW JERSEY, 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.
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
10 archdale & trinity magazine
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
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

"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
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

CAN BACK PAIN BE
CAUSED BY FOOT
PROBLEMS?
Millions of Americans
suffer with back
pain daily. Lower
back pain can be
debilitating, and in
many cases, it can
be diffi cult to determine the cause. Did
you know that there is a good likelihood
that lower back pain, also known as
lumbo-sacral pain, can be caused by
conditions related to your feet?
Pain in the lower back is sometimes
caused by over-pronation of the foot,
which occurs when the arch of the foot
‘collapses’. Over time, the foot rolls
inward, and thus the leg itself begins to
rotate inward. The pelvis tilts forward,
which increases the curvature of the
lower back. Standing for long periods
of time can aggravate this condition by
causing your back muscles to tighten.
Stiffness and discomfort in the lower back
are the result. Other conditions caused
by over-pronation are misaligned bones,
hammertoes, bunions, and knee pain.
Surprisingly, treatment for lower back
pain related to foot problems is usually
easy to treat! Inserting a custom orthotic
in your shoes can signifi cantly reduce, or
even eliminate lower back pain. These
orthotics support the arch of the foot,
which corrects the inward rotation of your
feet and legs. It is also important to pay
attention to your body, and doing simple
stretching exercises when you know you’ll
be standing for an extended amount of
time can help loosen up those tight back
muscles.
Triad Foot Center specializes in
creating customized orthotics, molded
specially for your feet. Give us a call at
336.625.1950 to make an appointment! n

"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."
PrOjECT raCINg HOME
Just 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,

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)
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,
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.
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
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
16 archdale & trinity magazine
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

The 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 CenterFree 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
arChdalE SENIOr CENTEr by jacquie Reininger
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

Old MaN IN ThE MOON
Old Man Jack stood with his son, Don, on the porch of Jack's summer home overlooking the
river, watching the full moon rise. 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."
There is a time to every purpose under heaven, the poet tells us. A time to be born, a time to die, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to speak and a time to keep silent. n
Reverend Peter Baldwin Panagore of DailyDevotions.org, is a native of
Massachusetts, graduated with a Masters of Divinity degree in Divinity from Yale
University in New Haven, Connecticut and with a B.A. in English from the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst. St. John’s High School of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, an
Xaverian Brothers sponsored school, provided him with his preparatory school education.
In 2003, he was recruited to apply for the position of Pastor of the First Radio Parish
Church of America (DailyDevotions.org). FRPCA is America’s oldest continuous
religious broadcast, founded 1926, and now reaching 1.5 million listeners, viewers and
readers a week on T V, radio and internet, including American Forces Radio Network.From 1999-2006 Reverend Panagore was a staff writer at Homiletics, the leading and
cutting-edge nationwide worship preparation journal for mainline clergy. Homiletics
has published more than a hundred of his sermons. He has also published short stories
in anthologies, most notably, Chicken Soup for the Veteran’s Soul, by New York Times Best
Selling editor Jack Canfield. Two Minutes for God was released by Touchstone/Fireside
an imprint of Simon & Schuster, in early December of 2007 and landed immediately on
the Maine Best Seller list.
//DAILY DEVOTIONBy rev. Peter Panagore
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 al-low us time to dance, and mourn, sow and reap, laugh and weep. May our lives be fully lived with beauty before our setting comes. Amen HERE'S A THOUgHT: A time for everything under heaven.

HAVE to or gET to?
So m e t i m e s
we can find
o u r s e l v e s
in a cycle of
obligation. We
go go go and
do do do, mainly for others and often
to the detriment of our mental state!
We eventually wear down, finding
ourselves tired, worn out and cranky.
The next day it can be the same
thing and we soon find ourselves in a
destructive cycle. We feel obligated,
then we become tired, then we rebel,
usually against the people we love
most. When we realize we can’t quit,
we feel guilty and before we go to
bed we recommit to be better and do
better. Sound familiar?
A dear friend, who taught me many
lessons, told me to try replacing the
words “have to” with “get to” and see
what happens. In her wisdom, she
shared that life is what it is, so in
order to live a fulfilling, generous life,
we need to begin shifting our thought
process. In a life filled with obligation,
we use the words have to, must do,
should do, and need to. I “have to”
go to work. I “must” take my child to
soccer. I “should” go exercise. I “need
to” fix dinner. When I think about my
daily life, I find myself using these
words for almost everything I do. If
we look more closely, we may find
that these words are not just used
in the workplace, but soon take over
the way we feel about what is most
important to us, our family.
If you are finding yourself run down,
unhappy and tired, it may be time for
a mental shift. This is not easy and
takes effort everyday, but if we look,
there is good in everything we do. It
is up to us to change how we do and
see things. Begin to use the words,
want to, get to, choose to. I “get to”
go to work today (and provide for my
family). I “want to” go to the soccer
field (to watch my healthy child play).
I “get to” go to the gym (to keep my
healthy body strong). I “choose to”

cook dinner (and be surrounded my
laughter and life. I am needed and not
alone). All of these are gifts that are
taken for granted, until they are taken
from us.
Life is not perfect and we cannot
control most of it. But one thing we
can control is how we show up.
Make a decision and “choose to” put
yourself in the driver’s seat every
day and give your family, friends and
colleagues your very best. Amazing
things will happen. If you “want to”,
you can change your life and the lives
of others who are privileged and “get
to” know you. And That’s How I See
It. ■

Volunteers with the Randolph County Partnership for Children are set to bring you the fi fth annual Gala for the Children on Saturday, April
13 at Kyle and Pattie Petty’s Adaumont Farm. To put a modern twist on familiar rhymes, the 2013 Gala for the Children is called “Mother Goose on the Loose.” From Humpty Dumpty to Little Miss Muffet, every Jack and Jill in attendance is sure to have a blast. The event will be held from 6:30–11:00 p.m.
“It’s always an exciting time,” said Janice Spainhour. “It’s great to see the community come together for a cause as worthy as our little children.”
The Archdale-Trinity planning committee is chaired by Spainhour and includes Mayor Bert-Lance Stone, Deborah “Queen Bee” Smith, Amanda Weiner, Kathy Stuart, Diane Coltrane, Rhonda Lester and Kelly Carter. Gala committee chairs include Linda Bean, silent auction; Stacy Griffi n and Bert Lance-Stone, sponsorships; Deborah Smith, desserts committee; Duffy Johnson, live auction; Wayne Jarrell, set-up. Honorary co-chairs of the event
are Bill and Ann Hoover.Each year the Gala is themed
on a well known children’s book, emphasizing the Partnership’s focus on family literacy and the importance of reading to children from a very young age. The classic rhymes you remember as a child will be represented and top of mind as the Partnership’s volunteer teams transform the beautiful barn. Kristen Varner with Spade & Broom has donated a hand-painted, plywood cut-out display of a “cow, moon, fork and spoon” to welcome guests as they enter the barn.
Guests will enjoy a buffet dinner, followed by an expansive dessert bar with a variety of Mother Goose-themed confections. With special thanks to The Wet Whistle, Grove Winery and Vineyards will be on site pouring their wines. Natty Greene’s Brewing Co. will provide beer. The Attractions Band, members of the Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame, will return to feature a variety of great beach, shag, and oldies favorites. Patti Smith, with PS Photography in Trinity, will capture the night’s greatest moments.
The live and silent auctions will feature unique items donated from local Archdale-Trinity businesses, including themed gift baskets, art, pottery, handmade jewelry, autographed sports memorabilia, and travel and experience packages.
“The Gala is our major fundraiser and it was created to place funds in our endowment to ensure we have funds to sustain programs for young children,” said Partnership Executive Director, Pauline McKee. “We also raise funds to sponsor children to receive books through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.”
MOM Brands is returning as a presenting sponsor for this year’s event. Other area sponsors include Archdale Drug Co., Inc.; Bank of the Carolinas, Elizabeth Aldridge; High Point Regional Health System; High Point Veterinary

She has proven to be an irreplaceable asset to the community. As the President of
the Archdale Trinity Chamber of Commerce, Beverly’s hats are many but there is a lot more to her besides her current career. Born and raised here in Archdale, Beverly remembers the small sleepy town she grew up in, less businesses, less stop lights, less people and cars. Beverly has always had a leadership personality and was repeatedly told that she possessed a special something by the mentors around her, all the way back to girl scouts. She possesses a BA in English from Guilford College and a MED from UNCG.
She married her husband Norman in 1970 and together they had 2 children, Seth (now 34) who lives in

In the early 70’s Beverly did volunteer work for the Chamber and in 1996, she was sitting as Board Chair. In 1999 the president of the Chamber resigned, and she agreed to fill in until a new president could be found. Obviously, it was a perfect fit, as she was hired as the new president in 2000. A lot of people do not really understand the duties and responsibilities that the President of the Archdale Trinity Chamber of Commerce takes on in a typical day.

its volunteers in that all programs are fostered by willing community people who love their cities and support it by giving their time in proctoring the programs offered by the chamber. The members are local businesses who want to be involved or be “in the loop” of community events to promote their own business to existing customers and newcomers alike. The Chamber is not a part of the city in that they operate together, the chamber is its own entity who works with and gets assistance from the city. There are many aspects in the development of programs the chamber offers, that includes rules on its structure and how new businesses come to be. The best way to understand the part the chamber plays is to simply ask. Get your information from the source. The chamber is an exciting organization to be a part of and the community needs its success for further development. If you want a type of business to move to our town, ask and understand what is involved in its development. If you own a business, chamber membership is a great way in getting your name out to your customers and advertise events or specials you may offer.
In the few precious off hours that Beverly has to herself she spends it reading, she will read just about anything but admits a passion for history. She enjoys watching movies of all kinds and her “therapy” time is spent crocheting. Her and Norman are members of Poplar Ridge Friends Meeting. She loves her family, treasures her friends and her vacations are spent at the beach. She has traveled to Cancun, the Bahamas and Canada, but that ultimate getaway would be London, because of her love for literature. Beverly is grateful for the opportunities she has been provided and says that Archdale as a home has been very good to her. She has been blessed with mentors and other people who saw potential in her early and nurtured her innate talents.
We talked about Archdale from the sleepy little town she

Beverly says the infl ux of new people and businesses has
broadened the understanding of the natives of this town
as to the potential growth that is her community. The
future only holds more possibilities in its development to

DINOSAURS RETURN TO
NC ZOOBy Tom Gillespie
Don’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 full-blown 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-to-date research. Each is fi tted 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 life-size 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

What are the e s s e n t i a l i n g r e d i e n t s 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
UPCYCLE gARDENINgBy Chelsea Tolman
28 archdale & trinity magazine
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.

//INTRODUCTION
In 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 fulfi ll 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
“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 fi lling up incredibly fast, so don’t hesitate to get your name and face on the cover. Be a supporter.”

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 fi rst 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
