Dear Readers,

One of the things that I want to do as I get older is travel and explore our state, our country, and our world. Since I didn’t get my passport until I was 50, up to a year ago I had only traveled in the US and Canada. With residences in Asheboro and Ecuador, I have begun my journey to explore a bit more of the world.

This month, I’ve spent three weeks living in Ecuador, enjoying time with Dave. Between Valentine’s Day and celebrating my 24th anniversary married to my best friend, it’s been a wonderful time. I feel like I am very lucky that I have two communities that I truly feel I belong to. Asheboro is my home, and Ecuador is my heart and both places are very special to me for different reasons.

This March we are hosting our 5th Annual Bridal & Prom Show at 105 Worth Event Centre. It will be bigger and better than ever with more vendors and a runway show that showcases both prom, bridal and resort wear. 4 Moons Travel is sponsoring a honeymoon giveaway - an all-inclusive three nights four-day stay at the Couples Resort Jamaica. If you know of any special couples getting married in the near future, do them a favor and tell them about the show.

Until next month,

G&G AUTOMOTIVEWhen It Comes To Vehicle Maintenance ... We Do It All!

Gil and Rosie Goldstein started G&G Automotive in 2009 and have steadily gained a reputation in the Asheboro area for excellence in the automotive repair field. In addition to general

repairs, state inspections, tires and oil changes, they also do a wide variety of specialty projects for old and new cars. This year as part of their continued commitment to provide excellent customer service and quality repairs, they have joined the TechNet Professional Automotive service system. This system provides nationwide warranties for all repairs performed at G&G. When you have service and repairs at any TechNet Automotive service center, you are covered by a nationwide worry free driving warranty. In simple terms, if you have a repair done at G&G and your travel takes you more than 25 miles away, and your car experiences a failure of a covered repair, you can call the TechNet 800 number and be referred to a local TechNet repair professional. Also included with any service of $25 or more, you are covered for 365 days at no additional charge when you need a tow to safety, lockout aid, battery jumpstart, emergency fuel delivery, or flat tire changing

assistance. Just call the 800 number.

As part of Gil’s commitment to his customers’ complete understanding of vehicle repairs, you have probably heard “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Gil likes to text photos of your repairs to your smartphone. Taking it one step further, G&G now offers a virtual video so customers can see exactly how the part in question works, why the repair is necessary, and what can happen if it is not repaired. To take a test drive go to G&G”s website, www.ggautoent.com, go to “General repair,” scroll down and click on “Learn More” next to the TechNet logo. Once on the TechNet website click on “Vehicle Systems” and scroll down. There you can see how every major component system in your vehicle works, which makes understanding your repair clear and simple. Another new benefit offered at G&G is Car Care One, a financing plan that offers a simple 6 or 12 month no interest payment plan to cover unexpected repairs. This allows customers to have the purchasing power they need to get their vehicle back on the road.

ASK THE EXPERTYOUR FEET

Don’t Let Winter Be Your ‘Fall’ SeasonIcy conditions cause falls and broken ankles

Originally from Buffalo, New York, Dr. Richard Sikora graduated from D’Youville College in Buffalo, New York. He received his medical degree from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine and completed his residency training at the Central Carolina Residency Program. He has been in private practice since 1990 and is certified in Foot Surgery by the American board of Podiatric Surgery.

With the hectic pace of the holidays, serious injuries from ice-related falls inevitably occur. Falls on icy surfaces are a major cause of ankle sprains and fractures, and it’s critical to

seek prompt treatment to prevent further damage that can prolong recovery. The ankle joint in particular is vulnerable to serious injury from hard falls, twists or sprains.

Ice accelerates a fall. The speed in which one slips is much faster and often causes more severe trauma because the foot can go in any direction after slipping. In cases of less severe fractures and sprains, it’s possible to walk and mistakenly believe the injury doesn’t require medical treatment. Never assume the ability to walk means your ankle isn’t broken or badly sprained. Putting weight on the injured joint can worsen the problem and lead to chronic instability, joint pain and arthritis later in life.

Some people may fracture and sprain an ankle at the same time, and a bad sprain can mask the fracture. It is best to have your foot or ankle evaluated as soon as possible to properly diagnose any problems. If you can’t get to a doctor’s offi ce right away, follow the RICE technique – Rest,

Ice, Compression and Elevation – until you can be seen.

Fractures are often associated with:

• Pain at the site of the fracture that can extend from the foot to the knee

• Signifi cant swelling

• Blisters over the fracture site

• Bruising soon after the injury

• Bone protruding through the skin—a compound fracture, which requires immediate attention!

Most ankle fractures and some sprains are treated by immobilizing the joint in a cast or splint to foster union and healing. However, surgery may be needed to repair fractures with signifi cant mal-alignment to unite bone fragments and realign them properly. With newer bone-fi xation methods, however, there are smaller incisions to minimize tissue damage and bleeding, leading to a quicker recovery time.

For further information about ankle fractures and sprains or other foot and ankle problems, contact Triad Foot Center in Asheboro at 336.625.1950 or visit TriadFoot.com.

A:Ongoing research by the Better Hearing Institute indicates that monitoring your hearing health may help you monitor your heart health as well. Raymond Hull, Ph.D., professor of communication sciences and disorders in audiology and neurosciences at Wichita State University, recently completed research analyzing 84 years of work from scientists worldwide on the connection between cardiovascular health and the ability to hear and understand what others are saying. Hill’s work, which reviewed 70 scientifi c studies, confi rmed a direct link.This work shows that the auditory system, especially the blood vessels of the inner ear, needs an oxygen-rich nutrient supply. If it doesn’t get it due to cardiovascular health problems, then hearing can be affected. While there are many possible causes of hearing loss, cardiovascular disease appears to exaggerate the impact of those causes and intensify the degree of hearing decline, according to Hull.

Five Important Heart-Healthy Reasons to Get a Hearing Test• Eight decades of research points to a heart-hearing health

connection. A review of 80-plus years of research found a correlation between cardiovascular and hearing health. Study authors concluded there is a negative infl uence of impaired cardiovascular health on both the peripheral and central auditory system;

• The ear may be a window to the heart. Some experts fi nd the evidence showing a link between cardiovascular

and hearing health so compelling that they encourage collaboration between hearing care providers, cardiologists, and other healthcare professionals;

• The lifestyle behaviors that affect the heart impact hearing. Evidence of the link between cardiovascular and hearing health shows that a higher level of physical activity is associated with a lower risk of hearing loss; smokers are more likely to suffer hearing loss; and regular consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are associated with a lower risk of hearing loss;

• Hearing aids can improve quality of life. Most people who use hearing aids say it helps their quality of life, relationships, work performance, ability to communicate, social lives, and ability to participate in group activities;

• Hearing aid technologies are better than ever, helping people lead active, engaged lives. Today’s hearing aids make it easier to hear from all directions and fi lter out noise. Many sit inside the ear canal and out of sight; and many are wireless, so they can interface easily with other high-tech devices like smartphones and hearing loops.

If you have a history of heart disease, or have risk factors for the disease, it is essential to have a baseline hearing evaluation to monitor changes in your hearing throughout the course of the disease. The board-certifi ed audiologists at The Hearing Clinic can conduct these hearing evaluations at any of our three Piedmont Triad locations. Maintaining a healthy heart can lead to better hearing and an improved quality of life

Q: Is there a direct link between heart health and hearing health? Is hearing loss an early sign of cardiovascular disease?

Lauren Combs, Au.D. is a graduate of The Ohio State University and a native of Metamora, Michigan. She completed her clinical externship with the UNC-G Speech and Hearing Center. While receiving her education, she worked with The Ohio State University Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic, The Eye and Ear Institute, Chilicothe VA Medical Center, and Hear USA. Dr. Combs attended Central Michigan University as an undergraduate. She has

volunteered extensively as an advocate for those with hearing loss by mentoring both elementary school children and college undergraduates. In 2013 she spread awareness about harmful noise exposure by providing ear plugs to those attending UNC-G Men’s Basketball games.

The only thing more unexpected than his stroke was how fast he recovered.

Last spring, James Pinnix missed just four and a half days of work after suffering a major stroke. One Monday, he experienced numbness on his right side. A week later, he was

completely recovered. In between, James was rushed to the Cone Health Stroke Center where he underwent an innovative new procedure to remove a blood clot from his brain. Now he is

happily working on a more enjoyable type of stroke—the one attached to his golf game. Meet James and his medical team at exceptionalcare.com.

Although macular degeneration prevention is possible, there isn’t a foolproof method of avoiding the disease. There are, however, steps you can take to help reduce your risk.

Pay special attention to prevention if you already have a diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or if the disease runs in your family. AMD is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss among people older than 60 years of age. In time, a person with macular degeneration may fi nd it diffi cult or impossible to read, drive or recognize familiar faces.Guidelines to help prevent or slow the progression of AMD:• Don’t smoke. If you smoke, try to cut down.

• Eat plenty of dark, leafy green vegetables, such as raw spinach.

• Ask your eye doctor if one of the AREDS2 vitamin formulations is right for you.

• Eat fi sh or take a fi sh oil supplement.

• Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight.

• Eat fruits and nuts daily.

• Reduce your intake of refi ned carbohydrates.

• Work with your medical doctor to keep your blood pressure and cholesterol under control.

Macular Degeneration Prevention• Wear appropriate sunglasses outdoors to block UV rays that

may cause eye damage.

• Schedule regular eye exams.

If you are strongly genetically predisposed to develop macular degeneration, it may still progress. Regular eye exams can help your eye doctor detect AMD early and monitor it so that you can receive proper AMD treatment as soon as you need it.Established in 1977, Carolina Eye Associates is one of the largest eye care facilities in the Southeast. The practice provides a full range of fi rst-rate medical and surgical eye care services. For more informa-tion on macular degeneration and other services by Carolina Eye, call (800) 733-5357 or visit www.carolinaeye.com.

Dr. Arghavan Almony is a specialist of the retina and vitreous. Her specialty covers the treatment and surgery of diseases and disorders affecting the back of the eye, including diabetic eye disorders, macular degeneration, retinal detachments, and trauma to the

eye. Call 336-629-1451 or 800-222-3043 or go to www.carolinaeye.com.

RCC Honors Outstanding Faculty and Staff Member, Employee Years of Service at Spring Convocation

Randolph Community College honored Garret Parker as its 2016 Excellence in Teaching award winner and Joyce W.

Wolford as the 2016 Staff Person of the Year during its Spring Convocation held Jan. 8 in the R. Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium.

The Excellence in Teaching winner, Garret B. Parker, earned his Associate in Applied Science degree in Machining Technology from RCC in spring 1999 and joined RCC as a full-time instructor in fall 2000. He was named department head for the Computer-Integrated Machining program in 2011. Parker has been instrumental in implementing the necessary requirements for RCC’s program to become NIMS (National Institute of Metalworking Skills) certifi ed. He introduced a new software

called “Immerse2Learn,” designed by Immersive Engineering, to enhance class and lab activities. And he has worked very closely with other RCC personnel to procure grants for the program including more than $675,000 for equipment, supplies and scholarships from the Golden Leaf Foundation, the Timken Foundation, the Gene Haas Foundation, and the Duke Energy Foundation.

Parker has been president of the Association of Instructors of Machine Shop of North Carolina for the past four years. He is also a community college representative for HAAS Technical Education Council (HTEC).

The Staff Person of the Year, Joyce Wolford, is also an RCC graduate (Business Administration) who went on to Greensboro College to earn her bachelor’s degree. She started working at RCC in 1985 in the Public Affairs/Affi rmative Action offi ce, eventually moving to the Development offi ce in 2003 before being promoted to director of foundation operations and executive director of the RCC Foundation.

Under Wolford’s leadership, Foundation assets have grown from $6.7 million at the end of 2002 to nearly $10 million. More importantly, contributions to the RCC Foundation rose from just under $94,000 in 2003-2004 to

Honored for 10 years of services at RCC were (from left) Donna C. Windish, Teresa P. Weaver, Susan S. Teague, Pamela W. Pollard, Todd E. Thompson, Lisa S. Hughes, and Sherri C. Davis (not pictured).

Randolph Community College recently honored Garret B. Parker as its 2016 Excellence in Teaching award recipient.


over $326,800 in 2014-2015, and scholarship awards for curriculum and continuing education students jumped from approximately $52,000 in 2003-2004 to over $322,600 in 2014-2015.

Wolford has been an active member of the North Carolina Council of Resource Development (CORD) for many years. She graduated from the Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Randolph program, the Archdale Chamber of Commerce’s Discover Archdale leadership program, and was a member of the 5th Randolph Community College President’s Educational Leadership Academy in fall 2012.

Employee’s service records were also recognized during the spring convocation. Neal Griffin, of Advisors Financial Center in Asheboro and a member of the RCC Foundation Board of Directors, was on hand to give special gift certificates to the employees who had achieved milestones of 20 years of service and beyond.

North Carolina Zoo Acquires Another Polar Bear

The North Carolina Zoo is starting the New Year with an iconic new addition to its animal collection. Nikita, a 9-year-old male polar bear was safely relocated to Asheboro from the Kansas City (Mo.) Zoo in January.

Nikita will join the N.C. Zoo’s 16-year old female polar bear Anana on exhibit. First, he will be placed into the Zoo’s polar bear holding quarters so zookeepers can see how he acclimates to his new surroundings before making a decision on when he will be viewable by the public.

Nikita’s move was recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) Species Survival Plan Program, which manages animal populations in zoos.

“We are honored and thrilled that our Zoo was chosen to

be Nikita’s new home,” said Pat Simmons, Director of the North Carolina Zoo. “Hopefully, we can breed Anana and Nikita. Our polar bear habitat is designed to maximize the chance of breeding Nikita and Anana. Polar bears tend to breed in the winter, so Nikita’s arrival is perfect timing.”

Less than 20 percent of AZA-accredited zoos have polar bears and only 60 polar bears are on exhibit in the United States. This means that all polar bears in zoos are genetically important for the species.

“We would like to thank the staff at the Kansas City Zoo and the community in Kansas City for making Nikita’s transfer to our Zoo a smooth one. So far Nikita is adjusting well to his new home,” said Ken Reininger, animal curator at the N.C. Zoo.

Nikita and Anana together on Valentine’s Day

Nikita was born at the Toledo Zoo. He arrived in Kansas City in 2010 when he was 3 years old. Anana, whose name means “beautiful” in Inuit, was born at the Seneca Park Zoo (Rochester, N.Y.) in November 1999. She arrived at the Lincoln Park Zoo in 2001 and was moved to the North Carolina Zoo in September 2014.

In a few weeks, the Zoo will have a welcome party for Nikita. Details surrounding the party will be released to the public soon.

Zoo visitors may get to see Nikita and Anana, the Zoo’s other polar bear, although they will be in separate exhibits. They both will have access to be on or off exhibit. Although Nikita and Anana may be visible to the public, over the next couple of weeks, Zoo visitors may not see the polar bears due to zookeepers introducing the animals to each other behind the scenes. Love is in the air and zookeepers hope to pair Nikita and Anana in the same exhibit.

I hope everyone is enjoying 2016. We certainly are in the middle of tax season and are digging for every deduction, saving folks on

their taxes. I would like to give you a few pertinent tax tips.

For those with children, do not miss out on these tax benefi ts:

• Dependents. In most cases you can claim your child as a dependent. You can deduct $4,000 for each dependent you are entitled to claim. You must reduce this amount if your income is above certain limits.

• Child Tax Credit. You may be able to claim the Child Tax Credit for each of your qualifying children under the age of 17. The maximum credit is $1,000 per child. If you get less than the full amount of the credit, you may be eligible for the Additional Child Tax Credit.

• Child and Dependent Care Credit. You may be able to claim this credit if you paid for the care of one or more qualifying persons. Dependent children under age 13 are among those who qualify. You must have paid for care so that you could work or could look for work.

• Earned Income Tax Credit. You may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit if you worked but earned less than $53,505 last year. You can get up to $6,269 in EITC. You may qualify with or without children.

• Adoption Credit. You may be able to claim a tax credit for certain costs you paid to adopt a child. Even more if it is a special needs child.

• Education tax credits. An education credit can help you with the cost of higher education. There are two credits available: the American Opportunity Tax

ASK THE EXPERTYOUR TAXES

Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit may reduce the amount of tax you owe. If the credit reduces your tax to less than zero, you may get a refund. Even if you don’t owe any taxes, you still may qualify.

• Student loan interest. You may be able to deduct interest you paid on a qualifi ed student loan. You can claim this benefi t even if you do not itemize your deductions.

• Self-employed health insurance deduction. If you were self-employed and paid for health insurance, you may be able to deduct premiums you paid during the year. This may include the cost to cover your children under age 27, even if they are not your dependent.

Don’t forget about the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare). If you purchased an insurance policy through the marketplace and received

13th Annual Father & Daughter Prom: A Night in Paris

Last fall, the Y offered a new program, youth volleyball, to girls from 3rd-8th grade. While nobody was sure what to expect, the demand was overwhelming. We hosted over 100 girls and had 12 teams total

competing in two age groups. Pfeiffer University was also gracious enough to host a skills camp and training session for our girls. With the success of the program and the demand in the area, we are pleased to announce that we will be doing it again this Spring. Girls will be broken up into teams, given skills clinics, and play games weekly. They will learn basics and enhance their already growing skills against good competition in a supportive environment. We are encouraged by the quick growth of the newest sport offered here at the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA, and hope for a great turnout.

CITIZENJOURNALISM

Current research focuses on the health benefi ts of walking, running, working, and sleeping on the bare ground to normalize the electricity in your body. The idea is to push your extra energy into the

ground and leave it there or draw energy from the ground to feel more powerful. Going barefoot leaves you feeling centered and focused for the rest of the day and is very benefi cial in many other ways.

The health benefi ts are enormous, as are the spiritual benefi ts, even if you don’t have a religion. When you are grounded, you have sent all of your nervous energy away (like the negative energy you picked up from mainstream media or cell phones). Your focus can become utterly clear and you can concentrate on any physical part of your anatomy to regulate how it works. You can cause your blood pressure to drop, your pulse to regulate and your neural patterns to remain calm because there is no extra adrenaline pumping through you.

Another benefi t of grounding is that your lungs will fi ll more completely with deeper breaths and as a result you get more oxygen to your brain. If you are relaxed and your blood pressure is contained, your whole body will relax and the rest of your life will fall into place. Any contact with the earth is welcome, so if you’d like to walk barefoot instead of sitting on the hard earth, you still get residual health benefi ts. Walking barefoot is good for weak foot arches, especially along different terrains. Not only can you be as calm as possible with grounding, but your body can begin to shape up with this activity as well.

The spiritual benefi ts of Grounding are amazing also. Using this particular activity keeps us healthy spiritually, which leads to higher self esteem and a higher self worth. Grounding your energy is mandatory when you are about to perform heavy meditative procedures, because you

The Benefi ts of Grounding

by jacquie Reininger

cannot fi nd your center if you are pumped full of the days’ thoughts and worries. In chakra exercises, it is best if you ground fi rst and then begin to open up your chakras instead of trying to open them immediately upon entering a meditative state. Grounding is viewed as a two-way communication – you can push and pull as much energy as you need from the earth, and therefore, focus completely on your task. The main idea of grounding is focus – whether you are using it for religious or health conscious purposes. Everyone understands that if you are spiritually healthy, the body will follow.

So let’s do it, then. Let’s go sit on the grassy knoll. Let’s take our shoes off and take a walk in the forest and let the earth do its part in our health and well being by taking care of ourselves and bundling all of our nervous energy into the ground. You and everyone around you will benefi t from doing this, so why not try it?

One of the newer microbreweries in North Caro-lina, Four Saints Brewing Company, announces the selection of five artists for the inaugural “Art Wall Project”. Located at 218 South Fayette-ville Street in downtown Asheboro, Four Saints features North Carolina-based artists as part of their “Great Beer for Great People” beginning business model. “We believe the arts are an in-tegral part of every healthy and thriving commu-nity,” according to Joel McClosky, Chief Executive of Four Saints. “Being able to showcase visual artists in our taproom through this project is one way we can support, enliven, and encourage the arts in our rejuvenating community.”Each of the selected artists will create a separate artwork on-site utilizing a designated 12 feet long by 5 feet high blank wall in the Four Saints Tasting Room. Public work sessions from each artist serve to encourage creative dialogue dur-ing taproom hours. Each of the five works of art will be on display for a period of three months. The complete Art Wall Project, with rotating art installations, begins March 2016 and concludes October 2017. Each artist will be honored with a public meet-and-greet reception. As an added

bonus each artist will also design a limited edi-tion t-shirt to commemorate their project. The exclusive merchandise will be available to the public. Four Saints Brewing Company tapped Asheboro-based artist and art advocate Les Caison III to head up this project. According to McClosky, “We originally asked Les to create one mural in our business. After considering our needs he re-turned with a proposal featuring several artists, multiple artworks, and options for reaching a larger viewing audience with exclusive merchan-dise. He is truly thinking of the community, our business, and the arts. We are honored to have him interpret our ideas in such an innovative, community-based manner.” The production for the first of five art projects begins March 2016 with ToroCity Designs made up of a duo of artists based in Durham, NC: David Wilson and Mike Garci. Their finished project will be on display April through June 2016.

“Pysanky” (pronounced peh-sahn-keh) is a 2000 year old Ukrainian tradition of writing on eggs with wax. The vibrant colors

are dyed onto each egg with imagery and design symbolizing good luck, prosperity and the arrival of Spring. Local heritage craft guru, Karen McFetters offers two opportunities to learn this ancient craft at the Randolph Arts Guild. Each class costs $50 for guild members and $55 for non-members. All materials are included and you take home two completed eggs, egg stands, and a full pysanky kit (so you can make them at home). Your choice of two dates for this class are Saturday, March 12 or 19 from 10 a.m -- 3 p.m. Registrants are encouraged to bring their own lunch. Payment and completed registration are required for enrollment. This class meets at the Randolph Arts Guild located in downtown Asheboro at 123 Sunset Avenue. For more information contact the Randolph Arts Guild at (336) 629-0399.

Bio: Karen McFetters is known for her ability to inspire anyone. She has always creatively made use of her hands. She was making scarves in 2nd grade and graduated to sweaters by the 5th grade. And she has been knitting ever since. Even now, her granddaughter enjoys Karen’s (or “Nee-Nee’s”) scarves, hairbows, and the child is even learning to knit. Karen has a gift in sharing her time-honored nimble hands

and simply enjoys teaching others to make items for themselves. She has taught Ukrainian Pysanky Egg craft classes in the past at the Randolph Arts Guild, along with other heritage craft-based projects. She served as the organizer for the Heritage Village at the 2013 -- 2015 Asheboro Fall Festival. The village featured a variety of artisans and craftspeople who demonstrated their abilities on-site. And Karen continues to knit. She leads a knitting group that meets weekly.

RECIPES

St. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious celebration on March 17th, the date of Saint Patrick’s death, one of the most popular patron saints of

Ireland. It was created to celebrate the heritage and culture of Ireland. In modern times, we celebrate it by drinking green beer and eating many traditional Irish dishes. Although I don’t recommend ruining a perfectly good beer with a bit of food coloring, here are several amazing recipes where you can put that beer to good use.

Irish Beef Stew with Stout One (Four Saints Brewing Company)2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed 3 cups stout beer (such as Stout One from Four

Saints Brewing Company) 2 potatoes, peeled and slicedSalt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions:1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beef, beer, sliced potatoes. 2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medi-um-low, cover, and simmer until the beef is tender, about 2 hours. 3. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving with irish soda bread.

Dave’s Cottage Pie10 large potatoes - peeled and cubed 1/2 cup milk1 tablespoon butter1 pound lean ground beef1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon fennel seed

1/2 Cup Worchestershire Sauce12 oz Stout One (Four Saints Brewing Company)2 cans Fresh Cut Corn Kernels

Directions1. Place the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain and mash with desired amounts of milk and butter. Set aside.2. While the potatoes are cooking, crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until meat is no longer pink.3. Add fennel seed, Stout and Worcestershire sauce to the mix and let simmer for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, until you have a thick sauce (you don’t want to make it too dry). Add the corn with 10 minutes to go.4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Layer the beef mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9 baking pan, then layer the potatoes on top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until potatoes are lightly toasted.

Ashley Vuncannon Earns Girl Scouts’ Highest Honor

Girl Scout Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont is pleased to announce that Ashley Vuncannon, Asheboro, earned her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting. Vuncannon, daughter of Darrell and Kathy

Vuncannon and a member of Troop 40977, worked in partnership with Agape Christian Academy to address childhood obesity and outdoor learning. Vuncannon implemented activities for the students to learn to work on their balance and be active at the same time. She provided a space for the children to run and play, as well as built an area to grow herbs and vegetables to increase their knowledge of healthy eating.By earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, Vuncannon has become a community leader. Her accomplishments refl ect leadership and citizenship skills that set her apart. “Earning the Girl Scout Gold Award designation is truly a remarkable achievement, and this young woman exemplifi es leadership in all its forms,” said Lane Cook, chief executive offi cer of Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont. “She saw a need in her community and took action. Her extraordinary dedication, perseverance and leadership, is making the world a better place.”The Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; it recognizes girls in grades 9 through 12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable Take Action projects. After the minimum requirements are completed, the Gold Award project is the culmination of a girl’s demonstration of self-discipline, leadership ability, time management, creativity, initiative and a signifi cant mastery of skills. Each

girl must dedicate a minimum of 80 hours to planning and implementing her project, which must benefi t the community and have long lasting impact. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to go gold, an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world.Some universities and colleges offer scholarships unique to Gold Award recipients, and girls who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces may receive advanced rank in recognition of their achievements.About Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to PiedmontGirl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont, a United Way agency, is one of 112 councils nationwide chartered by Girl Scouts of the USA to deliver Girl Scout program within specifi c geographic boundaries.
