August 2014Living the Good Life


LIVNG

I from the publisherWelcome to the August issue.It is back-to-school during the month of August. The vacation season is ending and those hot, lazy days of summer will soon be a distant memory. However, there is still time to get in one last trip to the beach or mountains, maybe over a long weekend, before school starts. Those of us who are on the highways will need to be extra attentive to watch out for school buses this month.

This is also a great time to recognize and thank the teachers, principals and staff at all the schools in our county for the outstanding job they do in teaching our children. Their work is not always easy, and the hours can be long and difficult, but it is much appreciated. The next time you see your child's teacher, shake their hand and let them know you appreciate the job they do!

Teachers can be wonderful mentors and role models and have a major influence on young minds. I remember fondly some of the teachers I had in the early grades who helped shape my life in a positive way.

Thank you for reading the August issue of Hickory Living Magazine!

With Catawba County Schools start-

ing back this month, it is time to get as

many fun events in as possible. How-

ever, don't make those events too late

in the evening. Students will need time

to adjust to their new schedules before

the 25th.

Preparing for the first day• Start early this month with new bed-

time and wakeup schedules.

• If your student is transferring to a

new school, get a map of the school,

mark their classes, and take a tour.

Let your student lead using the map.

• Ask for a list of supplies and stick

to that list. Without the classroom

list, you may be buying unnecessary

supplies.

• Organize their room, especially their

closet. Make it easy to find items.

Put t-shirts on one shelf and jeans on

another or use shelf dividers between

groups of clothing. Purge old clothing

and keep their favorites on top!

• Set up some sort of central com-

munication center where students

can write down their projects and

extracurricular activities. It could be

a large calendar or maybe they can

share their phone or iPad calendar.

Everyone in the family needs to be

informed about what students need

and where they need to be. If their

age permits, make them responsible

for letting you know their schedule.

• Pick a spot close to the door for book

bags and necessary items they need

for the next day. All items should be

placed there before going to bed.

• Save yourself some time and get con-

tact information from teachers at the

first of the year. If problems arise, you

will have the information to take care

of them quickly.

• Spend time with your student prior

to their first day to discuss reserva-

tions they may have about the coming

year. Try to work out solutions and

responses before they face potential

hurdles. Let them know that you are

always available to help with any situ-

ation they can't handle. However, give

them space to take care of their own

affairs whenever possible.

BullyingThis is a topic that is sometimes ig-

nored until it is too late. If you suspect

that your child is being bullied, get

to the bottom of it and notify school

officials quickly. Ideally, you hope that

your child will confide in you, how-

ever, only about a third of students

who suffer a bully's wrath ask for adult

help. Some have a fear of looking like

a tattletale, or maybe they fear it will

make things worse, so look for warning

signs. The website www.stopbullying.

gov lists the following as indicators that

bullying might be going on:

• Unexplainable injuries

• Lost or destroyed clothing, books,

electronics, or jewelry

• Frequent headaches or stomach

aches, feeling sick or faking illness

• Changes in eating habits, like sud-

denly skipping meals or binge eating.

Kids may come home from school

hungry because they did not eat

lunch.

• Difficulty sleeping or frequent night-

mares

• Declining grades, loss of interest in

schoolwork, or not wanting to go to

school

• Sudden loss of friends or avoidance

of social situations

• Feelings of helplessness or decreased

self esteem

• Self-destructive behaviors such as

running away from home, harming

themselves, or talking about suicide

I encourage teachers, principals, and

parents not to ignore the warning

signs or their student's cries for help.

Irreversible damage can be done. All

students should feel safe in their school

environment. Together, we can make

2014-2015 a safe school year!

LIVI cover storyGN

“I have the best looking yard in my neighborhood,” Michael Hughes told me. “I got a referral to Kevin Sipe from our builder because I wanted more than the basics, and Kevin’s team has pretty much worked on a new project here every year. They do on-going maintenance, every other month or so, and my yard and beds always look great. His employees are very professional; they always email me before they come and

leave a door-hanger when they’re done. Kevin’s a great person and runs an exceptional landscaping company.” Michael has been a client for many years. He explained that he was pleased with Kevin’s preliminary assessment of his goals, the detailed design ideas that followed, and his spot-on price estimate. He added, “I’m always recommending Scenic View to neighbors and friends.”

Transforming Landscapes into Scenic Views

LANDSCAPES,LLC


DESIGNING FOR BEAUTY AND PLEASUREAt Scenic View Landscapes, Kevin’s’ expertise is horticultural design. He’s the creative energy behind all the beautiful yards, flower gardens, patios, arbors, fireplaces and pits, relaxing outdoor rooms for enter-taining, water features, walkways and retaining walls, even container plantings for decks, patios or entry-ways that his company designs and installs. “My cli-ents see more of my team than me,” Kevin explained. “I spend initial one-on-one time with homeowners to determine what they envision, but, of course, I’m always available to clients with questions, concerns, or new ideas. With their input, I design a garden construction and planting layout that will grow into their ultimate dream yard. My team does an awesome job installing it and, when requested, maintaining it. The landscape creations are our babies, and together, we make it all work!”

Garden design, like architectural design, comes in many flavors. Kevin’s gift is asking the right questions to determine his clients’ outdoor goals and how they want their yard and it’s components to serve their families. Does the client want a formal entertaining setting or an informal design for family get-togethers where Thanksgiving Day tag football is a tradition? How much time does the family spend outdoors? Do they want to cook and play around the pool? Is their idea of the perfect Sunday time spent relaxing in a meditation garden? Does the entire landscape need re-worked to incorporate slopes, a new fountain and pond, or wooded areas? The options and opportuni-ties are endless, and Kevin can create designs and recommendations to suit all settings. “Dislikes are as important as likes when we begin talking about landscapes. Folks don’t have to know exactly what they want to get started,” Kevin explained. “Clients come with photo ideas, memories of places they’ve loved and enjoyed, preferences on how much time they want to spend working in their yard–or not–and we keep exploring until we discover just what they’re after.”

Kevin and his team solve the problem of wanting the most beautiful yard and flowerbeds ever but not hav-ing the time, skills or inclination to keep them look-ing their best. “Not all plants are treated the same. Some require regular attention–fertilizing, trimming and pruning, mulching, watering, weeding, sowing, sodding, insect control, and all-purpose tender loving care,” he continued, “and we schedule different levels

of maintenance based on our homeowners’ needs. We can do as much or as little as desired, and while we don’t focus on lawn maintenance, we are pleased to provide that as an additional service to clients.” Kevin makes certain you know all you need to keep up your property on your own or between maintenance vis-its. Understanding how much to partner with Kevin is important and can result in years of enjoyment for the entire family.

PROFESSIONAL, SKILLED TEAMS“Pleasing and serving our clients is foremost with our teams every time they go out to work on a project, whether its beginning an extensive new landscape plan or seasonal trimming and clean-up,” said Danny Lee, installation team leader. “We plan ahead to stay on-time and honor our clients’ needs while we work on their property.” Danny’s background in construction allows him to work from Kevin’s detailed blueprints when installing hardscap-ing such as naturalized or formal stonework, seating boulders, driveways, pavers, patios, walkways, dry stream beds, fireplaces, water features like waterfalls, ponds, and fountains to fill with aquatic plants and fish. His teams can install outdoor lighting designs to make a home and its landscaping beauty come to life.

Justin Haas is the maintenance team leader. He is an agricultural-minded guy who spends weekends on his farm with his horses. He takes pride in the extra effort his employees give when they work on a job. “Justin’s team is amazing every time they are here at my house,” Cheryl Orlowski told me. “I’ve worked with Kevin for years, and his crews are always attentive and helpful. They stay all day and take care of every detail before they leave. They worked to help me get ready for a party recently and even helped carry in groceries!” Kevin’s aunt, Debbie Sipe, is the company’s office manager.

“We want to be the go-to company whenever there’s an outdoor issue–from preparing for an at-home wedding to replacing lights in your outdoor system; to taking care of your property when you’re out of town or getting it ready for the ‘for sale’ sign to go up,” Kevin said. He makes certain that everyone who works on projects and spends time with clients has been through a formal application process and passed a thorough background check. All are fully trained for their work and knowledgeable about the equipment, materials and plants they work with. “Everyone understands our mission, even our college students who work in

the summer: To strive for excellence in creative design innovation, professional integrity, and quality business practices that exceed client expectations,” Kevin explained. “Integrity and quality are key. Our teams believe that if one wins, we all win. I require the best from every-one, and I get more than I expect, every time!”

COMMUNITY PARTNERS Kevin believes in helping others. Scenic View has provided services to

St. Stephen’s Lutheran and Discovery churches, Bunker Hill and Hickory high schools, Safe Harbor, Through Healing Eyes and various Boy Scout projects. He treats clients and community partners like family. While most work is residen-tial, Scenic View also works with small businesses and professionals to establish or maintain welcoming properties. Some clients have been with the company since it opened in 2000 and gladly provide references and word-of-mouth recommendations.

Kevin and his wife, Erin, have two daughters–Kara is their 12-year-old dance student (she helped Kevin per-form an on-stage parents’ dance at recital this year!) and 10-year-old Anna is their outdoor girl who loves horses, archery, canoeing and kayaking. “I’m so grateful for all the gifts and opportunities we’ve been given,” Kevin shared. “We’ve all worked hard to build a solid reputation for the highest level of customer service and dedication to quality. I believe this critical approach sets Scenic View apart as top quality specialists in landscape design, installation, and horticultural garden maintenance.”

I suggest connecting with Kevin to discover how his team can improve the look and enjoyment of your home and property. You will be pleased and very well served with a beautiful landscape that perfectly suits all your family’s out-door desires.

Whether you are experiencing pain from something like lifting a heavy object or chronic pain, the physicians at Southeast Pain Care (SEPC) encourage you to take action. You don’t have to live with pain–there is a solution. “The days of just dealing with a life restricted by chronic pain are over,” said SEPC physician Dr. Jeff Peacock. “The modern practice of pain management has many options to help people suffering with chronic pain, all targeted specifically with a goal of improving quality of life.”

Southeast Anesthesiology Consultants founded Southeast Pain Care in 1997. Since then SEPC has grown, and now operates a network of 12 pain manage-ment clinics (one here in Hickory) serv-ing more than 45,000 patients through-out the region each year.

Their years of experience and capacity to listen carefully and understand each pa-tient’s particular situation allow them to make an individualized treatment plan for every patient they see. Types of pain

treated at SEPC include arthritis, back pain, neck pain, headaches, poor circu-lation, diabetes, cancer pain, extremity pain, post surgical pain, sports or work injuries, and sciatica.

Their approach to pain management includes four steps: First, evaluation and counseling; second, interventional techniques like epidural steroid injec-tions, nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulators; and third, pain medication management. Lastly, they also provide referrals for rehabilitation and physical therapy.

Two of the newest treatment options Dr. Peacock and Dr. Martin Evans offer at SEPC include spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and genicular nerve blocks.

SCS is a safe and effective procedure that uses an electrical current to treat chronic pain. A small pulse generator sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord that interfere with the nerve impulses that make you feel pain. This treatment has changed the lives of patients who suffer from persistent pain in their lower back and legs. Dr. Evans, medical director at SEPC, has seen incredible results from this procedure to relieve pain that many people have dealt with for a long time. “It’s amazing to see the patient’s reaction after this out-patient procedure. They feel like they have their life back again.”

Southeast Pain Care


Dr. Peacock also explains one of the newest pain treatments they offer pa-tients for chronic knee pain, genicular nerve blocks. “This procedure allows for control of chronic daily knee pain even after knee surgery or failed knee injec-tions,” Dr. Peacock said.

Dr. Peacock and Dr. Evans encour-age patients dealing with pain to be evaluated by a physician as quickly as

possible. “Chronic pain is easiest to treat if caught early,” Dr. Peacock said. “The longer the pain has been present, the more work has to be done to get it back under control.”

The Hickory office recently made it easier for patients to visit by offering an after work clinic twice a month to bet-ter fit appointments into patients’ busy schedules.

Don’t just deal with chronic pain any longer, take the first step to get back to your normal self.

A little elbow grease, some Google re-search, and you can save money doing your own DIY projects. I am a do-it-yourself girl, myself, and my projects are not always chosen out of a money saving motive. Sometimes, I just want to customize things, and other times I want to test my skill and learn some-thing new. It is gratifying to say, “Oh, that old thing? I made it.”

A can of flat black paint and a silver or gold leafing pen have transformed many dollar store items into very ex-pensive looking accessories. The key is to look for great shapes and ignore the color. Metal pots or wooden trays are

quick projects. Paint them black and run the silver leaf pen around the top edge to add a striking detail.

Give old pieces of furniture new life with slipcovers or have them re-upholstered. While re-doing a guest bedroom, I wanted a comfortable chair. Instead of buying a new one, I rescued an old chair with good bones at a local thrift store and had it re-upholstered. The cost of my thrift store find was $15. The fabric was a gift. The total cost after paying to have it re-uphol-stered was less than $200.

If you can sew a straight stitch, you can

The chair is a thrift store find and was re-upholstered. The mirror was on sale, but was the wrong color–a coat of paint fixed that. The pillow and basket liner were quick DIY projects.

customize your space with curtains, pillows, duvet covers–think large pil-low case–basket liners and many other items. These projects don’t require a pattern, just a tape measure. Many can be made out of short end pieces of fabric. If you are not confident in your sewing skills, you can still add texture and color with fabric by covering chair bottoms and other no-sew projects with a staple gun or hot glue.

Don’t be afraid to try new things! Recently I decided to try my hand at upholstering. I have always loved the luxurious look of tufted furniture and have a few pieces in my home already. I needed a headboard for a twin platform bed–the perfect project to give tufting a whirl. My goal was to complete the project in a weekend. Although I spent a week watching online videos, reading blogs, and purchasing materials, once I got started, it was done in less than two days. See the photo below. Not bad for my first try. I had about $75 in materi-als and learned more than how to tuft doing this project. First, I need a new staple gun and second, I’m not chang-ing careers anytime soon. I have a new respect for upholsterers!

I think my next project will be a large chalkboard. Chalkboard paint has be-come very popular. I have an architec-tural piece that I would like to incorpo-rate into the frame and will make the chalkboard out of hardboard or metal; whatever I find that will work. I already have the paint, so I’m on my way. Maybe I’ll add some magnetic primer as well. I can’t wait! I hope you are in-spired to start your own DIY project!
