THE PRESIDENT WILL SEE YOU NOW an interview with Peggy Grande

Posted on by

Peggy Grande’s story is a beautiful read about a man and a young woman who had the opportunity of a lifetime to know Ronald & Nancy Reagan for the better part of 20 years; 10 years as his Executive Assistant from 1989 – 1999.
Her book captures the civility and kindness of Reagan as well as her own story of coming of age.
Today, the message & life lessons this book brings to the forefront is calming, hopeful, kind and optimistic for all generations of Americans.

An excerpt:
With most public figures there is a public persona and a private persona. I hope in this book that people will see Ronald Reagan as I saw him behind the scenes – and realize that he was the exact same person when the cameras were rolling as he was when they weren’t. He lived a life of respect and kindness and graciousness and gentlemanly manners and thoughtfulness all the time, regardless of whether or not he thought someone was watching. Those who criticized him as being extremely complex and harboring deep secrets missed the beauty of his simplicity. He loved God, his country and his wife and lived his entire life in service to those three things. Through and through he was exactly the same. Pure and true Ronald Reagan – Peggy Grande

SCAD – Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

Posted on by

Two local Moore County women share their stories of their personal experience with SCAD.

Julia Brokmeyer, a past guest on our show, and well known in our community as the founder of Moore Choices, and Katie Wylie, a nurse practitioner for Pinehurst Medical Clinic’s Gastroenterology Dept. both suffered heart attacks within one year of each other. Both ladies are young mothers without a history of heart disease, high cholesterol or excessive plaque, yet they both endured a type of heart attack referred to as SCAD. It is not a well know type of heart attack and their insights are valuable to all.

SCAD is…
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. In a nutshell, during SCAD, a sudden tear occurs within the layers of one or more arteries to the heart. This tear blocks blood flow and causes a heart attack. Unfortunately, SCAD may also lead to cardiac arrest and sometimes death. SCAD is the #1 cause of a heart attack in women under age 50 as well as the #1 cause of a heart attack in women who are pregnant and new mothers.

Their personal story lends a great hand to better understanding this type of health risk, and their new friendship and shared experiences will create a long time bond between these two fine ladies.

Callie McIntyre Host

THE ARTS IN MOORE COUNTY SCHOOLS, with CALLI MCINTYRE

Posted on by

“It was a pleasure to have Calli McIntyre host this week’s show. Calli was a past guest in Sept. 2017. I offered her the chance to host her own show because I knew she would excel. I don’t think this charismatic young lady, who is a junior at Pinecrest, ever met a challenge she didn’t wrap her arms around. She organized the show, the synopsis, the guests and the content without any help from me. She achieves everyday. I’m very proud to present Calli’s show.” – Bill Sahadi This week’s segment of All Things Moore County includes a conversation about the arts in Moore County schools. Featured guests, Pinecrest theatre educator, Adam Faw, and Pinecrest senior and stage manager, Megan Bankos, are interviewed by Calli Brielle McIntyre, who is Miss Moore County’s Outstanding Teen 2018 and Bill Sahadi‘s protégé. As you will see and hear, Moore County schools are filled with talented artists from all corners of the county. In fact, across the state, Union Pines, Pinecrest, and North Moore are referred to as the “Holy Trinity” of theatre departments. Adam and Megan give a preview about upcoming shows and also important information on how people can give much needed donations to these amazing programs. https://pinecrestplayers.weebly.com/
