Dean Langfitt wears two hats

By no RMA B. denni S FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com

Life itself often has a way of shaping our decisions and such was the case for Dean Langfitt. When a senior at Thomasville High School, one of his classmates was killed in a car accident.

“She was homecoming queen, just a fantastic young girl involved in so many things,” Langfitt said. “That got me to thinking about a career in law enforcement.”

In 1992, after graduating from college with a degree in psychology, Langfitt joined the Davidson County Sheriff’s Department. As he began to contemplate the future, however, he considered what his career would be when he had a family.

“I admired the older officers on patrol, but did not want to be working at 3 a.m. at their age,” Langfitt said. “In 1996, I quit to become a fraud investigator for Nationwide Insurance. It is not uncommon for insurance companies to look for someone with a law enforcement background for that kind of work.”

Langfitt has worked with Nationwide for 27 years, but more recently began to think about getting recertified as a law enforcement officer. He had considered it in the past, but the timing was never right.

In addition to work, he stayed busy raising his three children with his wife, coaching their sports games and teaching Sunday school. When Covid hit, he found himself working, but doing little else.

“My kids were pretty well grow and I had to find something to do,” Langfitt said. “I started doing volunteer work, but it was always in the back of my mind to get recertified. I never mentioned this to my family.”

Life, however, once more guided Langfitt’s decisions. He witnessed a hit-andrun accident and followed the offender till his damaged car forced him to stop. Without the man knowing, Langfitt called 911 and talked to the man, asking questions that could help officers find him in case he ran.

“I knew I had to identify the guy or he would get away with causing the accident and the victim would have to pay for his own car,” Langfitt said. “I was not afraid to approach him and get him out of his car. In law enforcement you learn what is called ‘command presence.’ It is how you handle yourself that gets people to respect you.”

A month later he told his family he wanted to do something different. His daughter, who had been with her father when he confronted the hit-and-run driver and reported the accident, said, “You want

Juneteenth ceLebratIonS

To commemorate Juneteenth, numerous N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources sites across the state will feature events and tours throughout the month of June.

Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day in 1865 when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the Civil War had ended and ensure that all enslaved people were freed. Although it was two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and two months after the end of the Civil War, it signifies the official end of slavery in the United States.

Council to decide on final budget

By CARol BRook S FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com

After several special meetings to discuss budget needs and after receiving the proposed budget draft at their May meeting, the Jamestown Town Council will vote on the 2023-24 budget on June 20. The budget must be approved by June 30 to go into effect July 1.

The Council also will consider adopting an updated Strategic Plan for the Town’s future. Filing for the 2023 elections is July 7-21. With

that in mind, the Council is required to create a resolution calling for a regular election.

In 2021, all incumbent councilmembers and the mayor were re-elected and began serving Jan. 1, 2022. That was the first year the mayor and the top two Council vote-getters won four-year terms. The Council adopted an ordinance May 21, 2019, approving the mayoral switch from two to four years. Since Councilmembers Martha Wolfe and Rebecca Rayborn were the top two vote-

to be a cop, don’t you?”

That was exactly what Langfitt wanted. Nationwide allowed him to take a fourmonth leave of absence to go through training, a fact Langfitt thoroughly appreciates. He trained at Davidson County Community College, was recertified in December 2022 and began work once more for Davidson County Sheriff’s Department in January of this year.

Today he works full time during the day for Nationwide and three evenings a week for the sheriff’s department.

“The biggest change I have seen since working in law enforcement so many years ago is technology,” he said. “Dealing with people has not changed, but technology has. There is a laptop in every car.

Returning to the law enforcement office he previously worked for was an easy decision. He was familiar with Sheriff Richie Simmons, who was a highway patrolman years earlier when Langfitt was a duty sheriff. A few officers Langfitt knew also were complimentary of the sheriff.

“I think God works in mysterious ways,” Langfitt said. “I went to DCCC because they had physical training in the evening, but I think He wanted me to meet Major Eddie Curry who was teaching the law enforcement training. Conversations with Major Curry led me to the Davidson

County Sheriff’s Department.

“I believe God wanted me in Davidson County for whatever reason. All these little things led up to my decision to return and to my placement. Returning to law enforcement has exceeded all my expectations. There has not been one negative.” Langfitt did wonder how he would be

Golf news of the decade about PGA and LIV

By CARol BRook S FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com

On the surface it appears the feud is over — but it’s too soon to know the long-term ramifications.

On June 6, the PGA Tour, based in the United States, announced that it would partner with the upstart LIV Golf. The partnership also includes the DP World Tour, formerly the European Tour.

The announcement said the coming together would “unify the game of golf” and that it is not a merger, but the creation of a new commercial entity that will be collectively owned.

It is not a done deal yet, however. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan told players the new partnership would require approval from the PGA Tour policy board.

Initial players reaction

The golf world was shaken as the announcement was unexpected and caught players at the Canadian Open off guard, as even a few weeks ago tensions were high between the two groups, not to mention the lawsuits filed by each entity. With the announcement, all lawsuits have been dropped.

When it was announced to the golfers at the Canadian Open, the meeting became heated, even after Monahan said the PGA and LIV tours were “better off together.

“I recognize everything I’ve said in the past,” Monahan said to media on

June 6. “I recognize people will call me a hypocrite. I said it based on someone that is trying to compete for the PGA Tour and our players.

To say PGA Tour players were surprised by the announcement would be an understatement. Rory McIlroy, a four-time major winner, was an outspoken opponent, saying to CNN in August 2022 that LIV Golf had “ripped apart” the men’s game.

Now he says he feels he was a “sacrificial lamb.”

“I hate LIV. I hope it goes away,” McIlroy said following the announcement. “I would fully expect that it does. And I think that is where the distinction

here is. This is the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the PIF. Very different from LIV.

“Removing myself from the situation, I see how this is better for the game of golf. There’s no denying that. But for me as an individual, yeah, there’s just going to have to be conversations that are had.”

McIlroy was one of the leaders of a players-only meeting last year that resulted in changes on the PGA Tour to counteract LIV Golf.

Tiger Woods was also critical, stating in July 2022 that players who joined LIV Golf had “turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position.”

Some PGA Tour players only learned of the new deal via email or social media. Even PGA Tour players who are on the board of directors had no idea of the announcement.

Saudi-backed LIV golf

LIV Golf began play in 2022 under the leadership of former pro golfer LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman, about one year prior to this recent announcement. LIV is the Roman numerals for 54, the score if every hole on a par-72 course were birdied. Tournaments have taken place across the globe, from New Jersey to Australia to Saudi Arabia. It is backed by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s sovereign wealth Public Investment Fund (PIF). Signing bonuses for players are 50¢

perceived joining the force at his age. He has been pleased with how the other officers have welcomed him and how the majority of people in Davidson County react positively to law enforcement.

“They have always been supportive, but I think they feel the need to say it more now,” he said. “I also find I am more appreciative of others doing what they perceive as ordinary jobs.”

Langfitt realizes there is some negative perception of law enforcement and he wants to do his part to be the face of change. He not only wants to serve the community, but feels it is just as important to serve the other officers — help them get through the night.

“The officers I work with are fantastic,” Langfitt said. “They want to do their job the right way. It is a good fit.”

Life experiences have equipped

estimated to be around $150 million. To the public, and perhaps PGA members, this could appear to be a money grab. Many top players such as Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau joined LIV.

A U.S. intelligence report named bin Salman as responsible for approving the operation that led to the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Bin Salman has denied involvement.

There are many reasons why United States citizens and government do not see Saudi Arabia in a favorable light. Its human rights record includes free speech restrictions, torture, political prisoners and enforced disappearances.

Then there are the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Of the 19 al Qaeda terrorists who hijacked four planes, 14 were Saudi nationals.

The Saudi government has denied any involvement in

Langfitt with more patience and general knowledge with which to mentor younger officers. He also sees his job in law enforcement as an opportunity to witness about Christianity.

“I have been able to share some of that, Langfitt said. “You get people at their lowest when they are most likely to listen.

“The older I get the more I realize you get one shot to impact lives. I want to do that. Once you are gone there are only memories.”

Wearing two hats is not easy and Langfitt appreciates the sacrifices his family has made for him to do it. At some point in the future he sees the possibility of working full time in law enforcement. But for now he is willing to put in the long hours of two jobs.

“I would rather be tired than bored,” he said.

the attacks. The 9/11 Commission established by Congress said in 2004 that it had found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded al Qaeda.

Families and friends of 9/11 victims were astounded by the golf announcement.

“9/11 Families United is shocked and deeply offended by the newly announced merger between the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf league that is bankrolled by billions of sports-washing money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Saudi operatives played a role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and now it is bankrolling all of professional golf,” reads a statement from the group.

The big loser in this announcement could be Norman. He was another person who only learned of the merger on June 6. Reports indicate he would have no role in the new organization.

getters in the Town Council race, they are in their second year of a four-year term. The next two vote-getters, Councilmembers Lawrence Straughn and John Capes, are eligible for re-election.

This will be the first municipal election where two members of the Council will be elected to serve four-year terms. Every two years two Council seats will become open — Wolfe and Rayborn in 2025 — thereby nullifying the chance that an entirely new Council could be elected at one time.

The public is invited to attend the meeting at 6 p.m. in the Civic Center at Town Hall.

The Council will also hold a special meeting June 22 at 9 a.m. for a closed session related to a personnel matter. This meeting is not open to the public.

How will this affect the Wyndham Championship

The PGA Tour and LIV Golf’s 2023 calendars will continue as scheduled. When the season is over, the new organization will determine a “fair and objective process” for players wanting to re-apply for PGA Tour or DP World Tour membership after the 2023 season.

It is unknown at this point what will happen in 2024. In an interview with Triad Business Journal, Wyndham Championship CEO Mark Brazil was taken by surprise by the announcement as were the players. He hinted that he hoped LIV players who have been a fixture at the tournament, including crowd favorite and North Carolina native Harold Varner III, will be able to return.

“I don’t think that we can really even guess on things like that right now,” Brazil said. “I don’t think this will have any effect on our tournament [this year] at all.

“I haven’t decided if this is a great thing or a bad thing,” Brazil said in a media Zoom call. “I think it’s going to be a great thing. I know there’s a lot to it and like I said, there’s a lot to unpack on this.”

The 83rd Wyndham Championship will be played at Sedgefield Country Club Aug. 3-6. In 2024 it will no longer be the final event before the FedEx Cup playoffs.

to be determined

There are many things that have yet to be determined if and when, PGA Tour policy board approves the partnership.

There is no date as to when the partnership will go into effect. What will be the new name? Will it mean more prize money for all the tournaments or just a select few? Will current LIV players be allowed to rejoin the PGA? How many days will tournaments last? LIV has three-day tournaments with no cut compared to four-day tournaments with a cut for the PGA. LIV is also played with teams, not individuals. And, important to players in hot climates, will all players be allowed to wear shorts, as LIV players do?

Business Corner

Businessman turns dream into reality

By no RMA B. denni S FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com

When working as a Chick-fil-A team member at a business on Wendover Avenue in Greensboro, Andrew White developed a dream to become a Chickfil-A operator. He and his family moved to the Midwest were for six years he pursued his goal.

When White returned to North Carolina, the former Ragsdale High School student who grew up in Adams Farm returned to his roots. Since Aug. 19, 2021, he has been serving as a Chick-fil-A owner/operator in Grandover Village at 6025 W. Gate City Blvd., Jamestown.

“It is a joy and honor to be back in North Carolina serving this area,” White said. “We are proud to be Jamestown’s nearest Chick-fil-A preparing fresh food crafted with quality ingredients every day of the week except Sunday, of course.”

When S. Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Ga., in 1946, he made the decision to close on Sundays. Having worked seven days a week in restaurants open 24 hours, Truett saw the importance of closing on Sundays so he and his employees could set aside one day to rest or worship if they chose. It is a practice Chick-fil-A continues to uphold today.

The Jamestown restaurant is open Monday — Saturday from 6 a.m.-10 p.m.

White noted that although in the food business, his restaurant is also in the people business.

“It is important to us to create above and beyond connections with our guests, our team and our community,” he said. “We are very involved in our local community. We love partnering with neighboring businesses and are a member of the Jamestown Business Association. We provide Spirit Nights for local schools, are an official sponsor for Ragsdale High School and offer college scholarships for our student team members.

The Chick-fil-A at Grandover Village is the only double-lane drive thru in Jamestown. It also offers curbside as well as mobile ordering. It has a variety of catering options, perfect for any occasion. Check out https://order.chick-fil-a.com/get-started/catering or call 336-907-7064.

“We are always accepting applications and would love for you to join our team,” White said.
