Happy Anniversary!A Big Year in the 919 ThroughThe Prism of Wake Forest24

Celebrating First Year with YouIt’s that time of year friends…time to celebrate.

919 Magazine has reached its one-year anniversary with your Wake Forest/Rolesville edition!

I’m excited to look back with you and share the memories, the people and the stories that make the community so special. Beginning on Page 24, you can visit our Timeline of the first year of 919 Magazine through the prism of Wake Forest.

Next up, in this issue is a close-up look at Wake Forest’s Flaherty Park Community Center, where local residents and their families can play, learn, exercise and much more! Recreation Program Superintendent and Facility Supervisor Cindy Fergesen gives tips on how to have fun at this and other outstanding facilities available to everyone in the community. Be sure to spend some time and find out about this great facility and all it offers, beginning on Page 26.

Also in this issue:

• An emotional profile on Wake Forest resident, volunteer and successful business owner Angela Jamison, who turned to friends to help her meet some of life’s most difficult challenges. See it on Page 10.

• Find out why Louis Mullinger is the current Wake Forest Citizen of the Year, on Page 12. Here’s a hint: He just can’t say no when help is needed!

• Read about Wake Forest 8th Grader Lucy Batten, who is driven, focused, and boasts a wide range of interests. She’s a busy, busy student, despite being what her mother calls “the baby of the family.” Check out the story on Page 14.

• And, finally, don’t put down this issue of Wake Forest/Rolesville’s local full-color magazine without spending time with John and Regina Heroux, whose priorities are their faith, their family, their friends and their service to the Wake Forest community. Look for the profile on Page 16.

Jamison Turns to Friends – from Wake ForestAnd Ames – for a Regular Dose of Well-BeingBy G. CLEVELAND KILGORE919 Magazine Writer

“Life is a cycle of good and bad,” said Wake Forest resident and business owner Angela Jamison. “We only want the good, but the challenging moments are the ones that define us.”

Jamison has had her share of very challenging moments, and they’ve defined her very well.

After a career in journalism and corporate public relations, the Iowa native founded Communicopia – a successful public relations marketing business – 15 years ago, starting with two clients she still has today. Jamison then moved to rural Wake Forest 10 years ago with her husband Warner and daughter Camryn (who’s now 14), and became heavily involved in her new community.

“I inherited a ‘spirit-of-giving’ from my parents, who were always involved in their community, church and schools,” she said, adding that she serves Wake Forest Downtown Inc. as vice chairwoman of the board, is a member of the Wake Forest ARTS board, is involved with the Rolesville Future Farmers of America Parent & Alumni Association and the Rolesville Middle School PTA, and volunteers as communications officer for the Rotary Club of Wakefield/Wake Forest.

The big challenge came in 2008, and she was diagnosed with Stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer – the rarest and most aggressive form of the disease. “My mom died of the very same kind of cancer, and I feared that it might happen to me,” she said. “I had regular mammograms, but this kind of cancer doesn’t always show up and that was my case.”

Because her mother had died of the disease, she feared that cancer equated to dying. “That’s the history of the disease,

even though more and more people are being treated and surviving,” Jamison said. “But with an 8-year-old daughter, I was going to do all I could to be here through all of her major milestones.”

Even before her cancer journey, Jamison’s friends and family described her as “strong and resilient,” traits that obviously came in handy for her cancer treatment. “I had been healthy before being diagnosed – my only time in a hospital was to give birth to my daughter. I didn’t know how to be a patient,” she said. “But I had excellent doctors and followed what they told me to do. I went with it and made the most of it, including 16 chemo treatments, a mastectomy, six weeks of radiation, chemo pills for six months and then reconstruction a year later.”

Along the way, Jamison credits her friends and family for being with her, supporting her family, and providing her joy, gifts, words of encouragement and love. “They kept me positive and hopeful,”

she said. “My friends helped take my mind off what I was going through and helped me focus on what really mattered – I was alive and surrounded by amazing people who made my life full.”

Something else involving her friends also proved a positive distraction from her cancer treatments: The publication

My friends helped take my mind off what I

was going through and helped me focus on what really mattered – I was alive and surrounded

by amazing people who made my life full.

Yes, it’s about Jamison and 10 girlfriends from Iowa, who stayed close and in touch in a variety of ways over the years (in fact, the photo on the back cover of the book was taken during a reunion in Wake Forest).

“Friends can help you get through the most challenging of times,” Jamison stressed. “It’s an unexpected bonus. But while my friends were the buoy that

kept me afloat throughout my cancer journey, the book was my lighthouse – a bright light that guided me away from thinking of the perils of the disease.”

Now, a healthy Angela Jamison is willing to share information about her cancer journey and create awareness among others who may be diagnosed that they can survive and thrive. “They need to know that they can get through this,” she said. “Just keep a positive attitude and let your friends (and family) help you get healthy again and heal.”

Louis Mullinger Finds it HardTo Say No When Help Needed

By G. CLEVELAND KILGORE919 Magazine Writer

Louis Mullinger, Wake Forest’s latest Citizen of the Year, feels lucky he found Wake Forest when he emigrated to the U.S. from England in 2000. It appears, though, that Wake Forest got the better part of this deal.

“As my wife, Marilyn, is American, and had enjoyed the adventure of living in a foreign country – we decided it was time for my big adventure, and looked around for the best place to live in the U.S.,” said Mullinger, an accountant by training who served previously as a savings and loan executive and led strategy and planning at the Britannia Building Society.

“Most of the country was too wet, too cold, too hot…or California, so we started looking on the East Coast.”

After visiting the Triangle area, Mullinger began looking around for somewhere to live and work. “I soon came across the then small but growing community of Wake Forest,” he explained. “I decided that this would be a great place to start and grow an Edward Jones Investments office, because my business would grow along with the town – and I was correct.”

Mullinger, who received his Citizen of the Year honor at the 66th Annual Christmas Dinner organized by the Wake Forest Community Council in December, has really embraced his new hometown. Currently the President of the Rotary Club of Wakefield/Wake Forest, he also is involved with the Trentini Foundation, the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce, the Community Council, and St. John’s Episcopal Church.

First joining the Round Table (a sort of young man’s Rotary Club) in 1977, he is a long-time Rotarian – serving the worldwide civic group as President of the Wake Forest Club in 2005-2006, and two years as

an Assistant District Governor.Rotary Club of Wakefield/Wake

Forest has about 23 members – and raises funds through its annual Lucky 13 Reverse Raffle and Dinner event and selling poinsettias at Christmas, using the funds for such civic activities as providing “Breakfast with Santa” for the Boys and Girls Club and sponsoring Interact Clubs at both Wakefield High and Heritage High schools. “We have taken part in Cupcake Wars at Heritage, sponsored children to go to a leadership program, and helped build latrines in the Dominican Republic,” noted Mullinger, adding that the club meets at 11:45 a.m. on Thursdays each

week at TPC at Wakefield Plantation. “We will shortly be packaging 20,000 meals for Stop Hunger Now, and running a Purple Pinkie event to help eradicate polio worldwide.”

For Mullinger, it’s all about making a difference in peoples lives, and helping to improve his community and the world – which, no doubt, was evident in his selection for the annual community citizen honor. “As an Englishman, I am very honored to be (probably) the first foreign born Citizen of the Year. I work with such an incredible group of dedicated and hardworking volunteers in our town that I find it hard to say ‘no’ when help

Wake Forest 8th Grader

Driven, Focused, Boasting

A Wide Range of Interests

Lucy Batten is the youngest of three girls in her family – and, according to her mother Kristi, she has always been determined to keep up with her older sisters. “My two sisters are great role models,” the Wake Forest resident and Franklin Academy 8th Grader said.

That drive has worked well for Lucy, who serves as president of both her school’s Student Council and the National Junior Honor Society. “I have been part of the student council since 6th Grade. I lead the meetings

and also make decisions on my own for the student council to discuss,” said Lucy, whose mother is a social worker at Franklin and whose father, John, is a salesman for Charles Luck Stone Center. “Being a part of Student Council is really fun because we get to plan a lot of the school events and we try to set great examples for others.”

Her involvement with NJHS includes a lot of community service – and also allows her the opportunity to tutor a 4th Grader, visit a retirement home often, and be very involved in the community.

KRISTI BATTENLUCY’S MOTHER


Kristi and Lucy Batten

By G. CLEVELAND KILGORE919 Magazine Writer


Lucy’s interests are wide and varied. In school, she enjoys both algebra and science (especially the experiments). “I also enjoy playing basketball and I am the speaking captain for the Franklin Academy Lady Falcons,” she said, adding that she also runs cross country, plays basketball and is a member of Wake Forest Rage softball team. “And I was voted most school spirit for the 8th Grade superlatives.”

A leader in her Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints youth group, she hopes to attend Brigham Young University-Hawaii and become either a teacher or a pediatrician – something her mother has confidence she can achieve.

“I have always said that Lucy’s best trait or talent is her positive attitude. She has always been able to adapt to any situation or circumstance easily and with a huge smile on her face,” Kristi Batten said. “She is very driven and focused when she approaches any task, challenge, or goal. Despite being the ‘baby’ in the family, she is very independent and goal oriented. She is an extremely hard worker, and she strives to do her best in everything she does.”

My two sisters are great role models.LUCY BATTEN

Faith, Family, Friends, Community ServiceAre Life’s Priorities for the Heroux FamilyBy STEPHANIE FRIEDL919 Magazine Writer

Faith, family, friends, and community service are life’s priorities for John and Regina Heroux, who have called Wake Forest home since falling in love with the area and building their home in 2000. “I love the downtown area, the history here, local businesses, and the arts,” said Regina. “The community is vibrant, yet still has that home-town feel, and is simply a great place to live.”

Inspired by her father who dedicated much of his life to serving others throughout his community, Regina launched the North Carolina Lighthouse Foundation (NCLF) in April of 2012 – with John’s CPA firm, Heroux & Company LLP, as the founding sponsor.

“We grew up with the understanding that everything we have in life is a gift, and as such, it must be shared in order to receive God’s blessing,” said Regina. After

stepping down from her career in oncology and community health, Regina now focuses her time and attention entirely on her role as the executive director for NCLF, a 501©3 non-profit organization established to serve medically-underserved and chronically-ill adult residents of Wake County in need of assistance.

NCLF has become a beacon of light for the community, collaborating with local hospitals, health clinics, and other non-profit health organizations to help hundreds of clients with medications, medical office visits, and supplies, gas, food, transportation, or even partial utilities or rent that impede them from making health a priority. “Our goal is to be a light of hope and support to those who truly need assistance by offering guidance, community resources, and financial assistance and filling a one-time need/short-term health-related gap,” said Regina.

Originally from Milwaukee, John and Regina met in high school where they played basketball, were crowned prom

king and queen, and fell in love. After 30-plus years together, they still remain the best of friends. This strong family bond keeps this busy couple connected to their two grown children and their community.

Truly a family affair, loyal helpers John and their children Jena and Jacob support the efforts and participate in annual fundraising events for NCLF.

“Serving clients and hearing their stories is always powerful and humbling,” said Regina. “Many are without hope, faith or family to support them, and to know that NCLF is part of something positive in this world is an immense source of satisfaction.”

A Conversation with Cindy Fergeson, Recreation Program Superintendent and Facility Supervisor at Flaherty Park Community Center in Wake Forest *:

What is the history of Flaherty Park Community Center?

Flaherty Park is approximately 100 acres, encompassing three baseball/softball fields, eight tennis courts, two picnic shelters, a dog park, a playground, a greenway trail, a community center, and outdoor restroom facilities. In 1995, the baseball/softball fields were established in the first phase of construction. In 2002, the original four tennis courts and the community center were established in the second phase of construction. In 2008, a new dog park, a playground, a picnic shelter, and four additional tennis courts were built. Flaherty Park Community Center opened in May of 2002. Today, it is our primary location for educational and athletic programming.

What was the initial philosophy and inspiration behind building the Center?

For years, the town rented facilities through the Wake County Public School System. Flaherty was built to help alleviate some of the needs and cost of renting the school system’s facilities.

What is the Center’s mission, in terms of what it provides the community?

The Wake Forest Parks and Recreation Department seeks to enhance the lives of the citizens of Wake Forest by offering a comprehensive system of parks, greenways, facilities, and open spaces – coupled with cultural and athletic programs promoting education, health and wellness.

What are the various programs provided to local residents at the Center?

Wake Forest Parks and Recreation Department offers a wide variety of programs for individuals of all ages. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of service possible to our patrons. We offer educational opportunities for both youth and adults in art, drawing, music, dance, martial arts, woodcarving, soap carving, storytelling, sports, fitness, cooking, gymnastics, photography, CPR and First Aid Certification, and character education. During the summer months (June-August), we offer 38 specialized weekly individual camps for youth ages 3-18. These include

Is there a particular program that is most popular?We do not have one program that solely stands

How did you get involved in this type of work? I started in this profession as a Playground Director for

another municipality, and decided to pursue a career in Parks and Recreation. My current position is Recreation Program Superintendent for the Town of Wake Forest. I oversee the Programs Division for the Parks and Recreation Department, and supervise the management and programming operations of four facilities: Flaherty Park Community Center, Alston-Massenburg Center, the Cottage at Olde Mill Stream, and the Wake Forest Community House.

What do you enjoy most about your position with the Town of Wake Forest?

When I decided to pursue a career in this profession, it was my ultimate goal to make a difference and have a positive impact on the community. I have been with the Wake Forest Parks and Recreation Department for approximately 11 years. We have grown from offering eight programs in 2002 to now having more than 390 programming sessions in 2013. We strive to offer the highest quality of programs to our participants; plus, we want them to be successful and have a fun and enjoyable experience – while benefiting from life-long leisure activities.

If you could add one program or activity to the Flaherty Center, what would it be?

Increase health and wellness opportunities, and offer a fitness facility.

Anything else you want the readers of 919 Magazine to know about the Center?

We offer “open play” opportunities to the public for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball. A monthly schedule is available at the center, as well as on our website at www.wakeforestnc.gov.

Mardi Gras Street Festival,Ball Bring Day-Long PartyTo Downtown Wake Forest

The Mardi Gras Street Festival and Renaissance Ball offers the perfect opportunity to stroll South White Street in Historic Downtown Wake Forest, shop for that one-of-a-kind gift, dine in a distinctive restaurant and socialize with friends and neighbors.

Scheduled for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the free festival features fun-filled activities for both children and adults — including live music and special performances, strolling entertainers, face painting, a walking parade, free horse and carriage rides, an inflatable playground, a king and queen costume contest for teens, and a prince and princess parade for younger participants. Local DJ Brian Pate will emcee the festivities, and downtown merchants plan special discounts and offers.

The walking parade lineup is at 12:45 p.m. at Town Hall’s Centennial Plaza (301 S. Brooks St.), and is open to children and adults and no preregistration is

required. Youths are invited to walk, roller skate, ride bikes or be pulled in a wagon. Participation is free, but bicyclists must wear helmets. All are encouraged to decorate their bikes and wagons, dress up, and wear a mask. The parade route extends up East Owen Avenue, north along South White Street and ends at the Depot Parking Lot.

Other highlights include:• Free face painting from 11 a.m. to 1

p.m. in the Town Hall lobby, and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Depot Parking Lot at 110 S. White St. and the Wake Forest ARTS office at 205 S. Brooks St.

• A king and queen costume contest for teens prior to the start of the parade. Judging begins about 12 p.m. near the Centennial Plaza flagpoles. Winners will serve as the parade grand marshals, leading the procession in a horse and carriage.

The day ends with an evening of music, dancing and fun at the Mardi

Gras Renaissance Ball, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre at 405 S. Brooks St.

Attire is black-tie option, with Mardi Gras masks encouraged. Tickets are $60 per person, which includes live entertainment, a buffet dinner, a cash bar, two raffle tickets and one drink ticket.

Tickets can be purchased at the Wake Forest Town Hall at 301 S. Brooks St. with cash, check or credit card — or online using a credit card at www.etix.com.

A unique full service salon in Wake Forest that offers services for hair, nails, and esthetics, The Main Squeeze also features an on-site custom repair jeweler – as well as a large selection of wigs and hair extensions. It is, simply, where women can find all their passions in one place.

Opened last year by Joanna Alevizatos, The Main Squeeze’s mission extends well beyond the typical salon. “I have had family members and friends diagnosed with breast cancer. I’ve met and talk to so many women who are battling similar conditions. They are our mothers, our wives, our sisters, our partners, and our neighbors,” explained Joanna, a mother of two daughters who’s lived in the Triangle for 20 years. “I wanted to design a comfortable place for women, regardless of their health, their experiences or their journeys – to walk in and feel welcome.”

Joanna, a veteran licensed cosmetologist who specializes in color, cuts, highlights, and keratin blowouts, has partnered with the American Cancer Society and was certified to carry a wide variety of synthetic and human hair wigs at The Main Squeeze. “Our team is pending formal certification in the “Look Good, Feel Better” program to teach beauty techniques to women with cancer who are undergoing treatment,” she said. “The Main Squeeze team is also a part of the “Relay For Life” organization, and conducting a “Dress Drive and Sale” to help raise money until May.”

The Main Squeeze offers a wide selection of synthetic and human hair wigs, with each wig customized to the clients’ face shape and lifestyle. “We cater to women who are battling or are in remission of cancer and other health illnesses, or who just simply want a fashion wig,” said Joanna. “Our private setting and display of wigs offers a calm environment for women of all ages and health histories to ‘Walk in and Strut out!’”

But that’s only one part of what The Main Squeeze provides clients:

• Vianna Jewelers, owned and operated by Vicki Robin, is located inside the facility. A GIA certified gemologist with over 25 years of experience, Robin specializes in custom design rings and jewelry, watch repair, appraisals, and diamond sales (and can be contacted at [email protected]).

• A private room allows a licensed professional esthetician to evaluate clients and help cleanse, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin.

• Antioxidant and pollution fighting facials, acne facials, collagen, aromatheraphy facials and much more are available.

• Licensed nail technicians specialize in natural, gel and acrylic nails. The Main Squeeze has created a private, comfortable room aimed towards making clients feel relaxed, pampered, and beautiful.

• The boutique features women’s accessories, Hobo bags and wallets, Coach markdowns, clothing, scarves, hair care products, Lindi skin care products, hair and bridal accessories, mineral makeup, and more.

• And all hair stylists offer a wide range of services, including styling, cuts, color, makeup, natural hair, keratin treatments, and bridal and formal updos.

Is your head on straight?The Atlas Orthogonal technique focuses on your atlas, the top bone in your neck. If the atlas is tilted and/or rotated,

it can decrease nerve and blood supply to the head. Common symptoms include chronic tiredness, dizziness, headaches, insomnia, neck pain, migraines and nervous-ness. The adjustment itself is very gentle and does NOT

require any popping, cracking or twisting.

Real McCoy’s Infuses Local FlavorInto Everything at Local RestaurantGet a Taste of the Community and Feel Right at Home

“It’s the real thing.”

”It’s the genuine article.”

“It’s the Real McCoy!”

This Wake Forest bar and restaurant is just that – the Real McCoy’s. Owners and husband and wife team Coy and Nicole Privette pride themselves on infusing the local flavor of their home state of North Carolina into everything about their flourishing hometown restaurant. “Our hope is that Real McCoy’s is a place natives like to call their own, and where newcomers immediately feel welcomed with a taste of our community and history,” said Coy.

After the Privettes purchased the restaurant that once stood on this site, they renovated the space from the ground up. They incorporated a full bar with 52 different tap beers and over 40 bottled beers, representing one of the area’s largest selections of North Carolina craft brews. They even carry a Raleigh Brewing Company’s draft root beer – a favorite of kids and grown-ups alike.

The Privittes renovated the space last August, incorporating a private dining room that is quickly becoming the place for team gatherings and private events. They also have a welcoming outdoor dining space that is both people and pet friendly. “Our customers are blown away at the renovation of the

interior. It’s so completely different – they can’t believe they are walking into the same physical space,” said Coy.

The delicious and robust menu of popular sports bar fare includes a familiar Carolina twist on just about every dish – such as the popular “Fig & Pig” flatbread, made with their juicy house-made pulled pork, a Carolina-style barbecue sauce made by Wake Forest’s own Hand-Me-Down BBQ, and locally-made fig preserves. They also introduced a southern twist into their popular “Catfish & Chips”, which features fresh-caught catfish and a light, crispy breading

It’s no wonder patrons are quickly discovering their favorites and coming

back often for “the usual” while also enjoying full sports package TV viewing, pool tables, shuffleboard, Golden Tee, indoor and outdoor cornhole, and live music on weekends. Real McCoy’s also offers full service catering, bringing their popular specialty fare fresh to homes and businesses throughout the area.

The owners and friendly, knowledgeable staff at Real McCoy’s welcome one and all to experience the authentic and relaxed atmosphere unique to this locally

owned hometown establishment.

Real McCoy’s is located at 3325 Rogers Road, Suite 112, in Wake Forest. For more information, call 919-562-8368, email [email protected] or visit www.realmccoysnc.com.

Wake Forest Power VideoEarns Association Award

A video tribute to Wake Forest Power’s linemen and line workers everywhere earned the 2013 Audience Choice Award at the American Public Power Association’s annual Customer Connections Conference recently.

The Audience Choice Award is voted on by conference attendees each year during “The Year in Public Power TV Commercials” reception on the final night of the conference, held in Portland, OR. Wake Forest Power’s video – titled “Home Grown Power” – received the most votes from among 10 submissions.

Produced by the Town of Wake Forest in partnership with Kino Mountain Productions, the award-winning video is just over seven minutes long and highlights the extraordinary commitment to safety and training required to be a lineman, while also emphasizing the unique fraternity to which all line workers belong. The video includes interviews with Mayor Vivian Jones, Public Works and Utilities Director Mike Barton, former Public Works and Utilities Assistant Director John Thrift and Christy Abbott, the spouse of Wake

Forest Power Lineman Scott Abbott.“This project was extremely

rewarding as it not only shows the tremendous commitment to safety and training necessary to perform the job, but it also offers a personal look at these guys who are often called upon to leave their families in the middle of the night to get our power back on,” said Public Information Officer Bill Crabtree.

“Home Grown Power” airs daily on Wake Forest TV 10 at 8:20 a.m., 12:20 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. It may also be viewed online at www.wakeforestnc.gov/linemans-video.aspx. For more information, contact Crabtree at 919-435-9421 or email [email protected].

Wakefield’s Hut No. 8: A Passion for FashionBrand Name Clothing at BigDiscounts, with a Trendy Vibe

Fueling their passion for fashion while helping to protect the environment, Karen and Charles Portnoy are proud owners of the brand name clothing exchange in Wakefield better known as Hut No. 8. At Hut No. 8, teens and young adults find the best in brand name fashions with up to 70-80 percent off retail prices, all while shopping in a store with a hip and trendy rustic beach-like vibe.

“The Wakefield community was being under-served for places to shop for quality and affordable clothing for our teens and young adults,” Karen explained. “The concept at Hut No. 8 is to give visitors to our store the mall shopping experience without having to pay mall prices for the clothing they desire.”

Through customer buy-backs and high-volume vendors – and by constantly turning over and rotating inventory – Hut No. 8 offers discriminating shoppers high quality new and gently loved clothing from brands such as Buckle, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and Tilly’s. Because they sell only the best brands in the latest up-to-the-minute styles, Hut No. 8 buyers happily accept only clean gently worn clothes, purses, shoes, and accessories in great condition. After carefully reviewing each item, buyers offer cash or 25 percent more in store credit for clothing they determine Hut No. 8 customers will want to buy. This real-time buy-back system gives customers the choice to keep their cash or shop for the newest “finds” during their same visit.

Keenly aware of the environmental footprint of discarded textiles, Karen and Charles are thrilled to be a part of the upcycling of fashionable, affordable clothing. Karen, with a background in accounting and Charles, a former business development and marketing professional, bring their passions, talents, and entrepreneurial spirit to making Hut No. 8 a success. And as parents

themselves of teen and young adult children, they understand what their customers want: Great clothes at unbeatable prices and an opportunity to earn some extra cash.

With its high energy music

and rustic beach hut vibe, Hut No. 8 shoppers love the mini vacation getaway feel of the store. And with an impressive ever-changing selection of stylish and affordable fashions, Hut No. 8 customers keep coming back for more of their favorite brands. The tremendous selection of new and gently used fashions, complimented by superior customer service, is making Hut No. 8 the place to shop.

Hut No. 8 is located at 14460 New Falls

of Neuse, Suite 131, Wakefield. For more

Men’s TennisHEAD COACH: Jeanne Pastorius



FIRST MATCH: Feb. 26 at Southeast Raleigh High

COACH’S OUTLOOK: We have a stronger turnout numbers-wise

this spring than in the fall season with

the Women’s program, largely due to

better communication. Our area of Wake

County does not boast a “strong tennis

presence,” but we at RHS are looking

to change that! As with all high school

programs, the primary goal is to grow and

develop a team of committed young people

eager to learn about a sport, compete with

pride and sportsmanship and represent the

best of our high school student athletes.

do. This season will be all about setting the

standards for growth, gain experience and

working toward a championship program.

FIRST GAME: Wake Forest High, Wednesday February 26

2013-14 RECORD: First year program

2013-14PLAYOFFS: First year program

2013-14HONORS: N/A

COACH’S OUTLOOK: I believe we will be a competitive 1st year

program; I have high expectations for the

team, from what I have seen in workouts.

The girls are hard working and have goals

to win and be successful. We are in a

competitive conference, but I believe with

our tough non-conference schedule, this

will help us prepare for conference games.

Although we will have a varsity team

mainly of freshman, I truly believe these

girls can make a statement in the area.

For Nannette Stangle-Castor, making her Grama Bird’s Chocolate Oatmeal Unbaked Cookies brings wonderful memories of her grandmother to mind.

Stangle-Castor noted that her grandmother made these cookies for all family parties and picnics, and taught her how to make them. “We now make these at Christmas time as part of the homemade cookies we prepare and ship to friends and family here and across the U.S.,” she added.

President and founder of InnoVector Tech – a small business providing management consulting and strategic communications to heath care organizations, foundations, and non-profits – Stangle-Castor lives in Wake Forest with her daughter, son Zachary Castor, and husband Jeffrey Castor.

WNCN wins Emmy for Investigation into Wake Forest Water WellsWNCN Television in Raleigh won

multiple honors at the 28th Midsouth Emmy Awards – including one involving a special report involving Wake Forest.

WNCN News at 7 p.m. won for its investigative special, “Poison in the Water.” Producer Kathleen Jacob, former WNCN reporter Charlotte Huffman and photographer Dave Hattman were recognized for the honor. The report earned national attention after exposing the existence of toxic chemicals in the private wells of some Wake Forest neighborhoods and the state’s failure

to warn neighbors. The coverage sparked legislative action encouraging private well water testing and a public service announcement by North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory.

WNCN’s Robby Thomas, Director of Marketing, won the Graphics Art category for the station’s new on-air graphics package,

“L-8”, which is now featured daily in all WNCN newscasts. And Thomas, Chief Meteorologist West Hohenstein, and Senior Marketing Producer Zak Ciotti won the Promo Campaign category with the “Weather Facts” promos featuring Hohenstein.

Maintaining Those Well-Intended New Year’s ResolutionsBy KATHERINE E. WALKER, PhD, LPC, NCC, BCIA-C

Licensed Professional Counselor

At the end of each year we spend time in self-examination analyzing our bad habits, what we should have done better, where we believe we failed, and what we should start working on when the next calendar year greets us.

It’s now March and it’s time to assess how you are doing with this year’s resolutions. Are you struggling keeping them? You are not alone. Many individuals find themselves starting off the year with great intentions, but struggle maintaining them with consistency or give up on them all together.

Here are some helpful strategies:• Examine the reasons behind

your resolutions. If your goal is to exercise more, look forward to feeling more energetic and improve strength rather than focusing on a specific number on the scale.

• Practice the SMART method: Make sure your resolutions are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-sensitive. If they already seem unreachable, revise and adapt them.

• Visualize yourself practicing your plan and the positive benefits you will experience as a result.

• Commit to your plan and know what challenges you might face that could be potential pitfalls.

• Know your excuses that will cause you to self-sabotage or give up. Have a plan to counteract them in a positive way.

• Seek out positive support from others who you can check in with from time to time. Believe in yourself and practice self-compassion as there will be moments of self-doubt. Don’t beat yourself up if you waiver.
