Director Scott Coakley presented a proposal the Town Council on April 15 to replace the fleet of golf carts at Jamestown Park Golf Course with Yamaha carts, the “Official Golf Car Partner” of the National Golf Course Owners Association.
“We are currently in a four-year lease agreement with our existing provider that will end at the end of June,” Coakley said. “Tra-
ditionally, we have adhered to a four-year lease structure and traded out our fleet after three years. This approach has consistently ensured that our carts remain in good condition, minimizing downtime and avoiding costly battery replacements. “However, with our current lease nearing its end, nearly half of our batteries are out of warranty and beginning to fail. Upon reviewing all available options, I propose upgrading to a new fleet of carts that includes enhanced features such as lithium batteries, phone chargers
and sand bottles. Even with these additional features, the new agreement would save the facility over $10,000 annually, and we would be able to maintain a four-year term with the flexibility to trade at the three-year mark, ensuring that our carts remain in excellent condition for our patrons.
“We had the opportunity to test a demo cart for almost a week and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our staff and customers. Additionally, this proposal includes an option that enables us to
receive the new carts prior to the expiration of our existing agreement in June. I believe this proposal will provide significant longterm value to the facility, improve the overall experience for our patrons, and reduce maintenance costs.”
“This makes us more comparable to other area courses,” volunteered Councilmember Pam Burgess.
“[The proposal] saved the Town a tremendous amount of money,” said Town Manager Matthew Johnson.
Coakley said the new carts will have GPS. Golf-
ers can drive up to their ball and a screen will give them yardage to the pin. Also, Pro Shop can tell where on the course the cart is and whether it is in an off-limits area.
The Town Council approved the new lease.
Coakley also presented the Parks & Recreation quarterly report.
“Despite a slower start in January and February, the golf course demonstrated strong recovery in March across all key areas: revenue, range usage, food and beverage and rounds played,” he said.
“The first quarter of 2025 presented a mixed performance for the golf course compared to the same period in 2024, with notable improvements in March helping to close earlier gaps in revenue and participation.
Total revenue for Q1 2025 reached $197,313.32, showing a slight decline from $199,610.06 in Q1 2024. While January and February saw decreased revenue compared to the same time in 2024, March experienced a strong rebound, generating $130,697.08, an 18.5

History series features local autHor
The First Thursday History Program will be held May 1 at 6:30 p.m. on the main floor of the Jamestown Public Library. The guest speaker is Shelly Lutzweiler, who will discuss her new book “One Land, Three Landmarks: Iddings House, the TB Sanatorium and GTCC.”
Jonathan Howell originally purchased 158 acres from the state of North Carolina in 1787 and 1794, which as the book’s title indicates has evolved from a homestead to a community college.
Lutzweiler taught at Guilford Technical Community College for 31 years. Her book is a collection of stories from personal interviews with many “main characters or their descendants” of the three landmarks.
The program is free.

Annual spring showcase highlights room designs
By no R m A B. denni S freela N ce writer ndworddesign@gmail.com
The city of High Point is well known for its furniture markets. But on April 25, Jamestown held its own furniture market, hosted by CJ Greene Education Center, a separate public school that serves students in grades 9-12.
Students spent weeks researching textiles, interior design and construction, then used what they had learned to create rooms for indoor and outdoor use. An introduction to a variety of artists from several countries helped guide students in the use of color and items to include in their room designs, which lined the walls of the school’s multipurpose room.
“Students choose an artist they wanted to highlight and used the artist’s work to chose colors and items to include in their projects,” said Sherry Elliott, adaptive art teacher in all four Guilford County separate public schools. “There is a lot to learn from art. Students completed artwork based on the artist they selected. The rooms were all about the students’ choices. Even those who are non verbal used technical devices to add input.”
“The art set the mood for each room in the choice of colors, furniture and complimenting items,” said Constance

Community Day focuses on Jamestown area
By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com
Jamestown is — and has been — so much more than the little town between High Point and Greensboro. It developed with the foresight and insight of determined Quakers who believed in education and basic human rights for all.
As the town grew, so did other communities nearby: Florence, Sapptown and Oakdale. Do you know about these communities?

council works to finalize new budget
By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com
The Preliminary Budget for fiscal year 2025-26 for the Town of Jamestown might be surprising to many residents. The budget is $3 million more than the 202425 adopted budget, however, it is still approximately $1.5 million less than that year's amended budget.

The 7.25 percent decrease is due to several things, perhaps the most important is a reorganization of priorities.
The Jamestown Town Council had the opportunity to view the Preliminary Budget for fiscal year 2025-26 at the April 24 Budget meeting. This was the third planned budget meeting.
Town Manager Matthew Johnson said the budgeting process was slightly different this year.
“Beginning in January we worked side-by-side with the Council to develop more strategic plans,” he said. Included were plans to secure funding for
“There will be some fee changes. Sewer increases approximately 8.7 percent and water approximately 11.5 percent. These represent direct pass-through fees from our partners in the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority, the City of Greensboro and City of High Point.
“We are only increasing fees that are passed on to us.” Johnson said there would be some increases in shelter and recreation rates.
He also noted there would be no increase in solid waste fees.

Looking back helps preserve history for the future
By noRmA B. denniS freelaNce writer
The Quakers have deep roots in Jamestown and the surrounding areas. A Quaker family built the Mendenhall Homeplace, located across from High Point City Lake, over 200 years ago and the house, barn and other out buildings have been owned and maintained by the Historic Jamestown Society since 1975.
The Jamestown Friends Meeting, a Quaker assembly located at 509 Guilford Road, is hosting a play on May 10 at 6:30 p.m. to benefit the HJS.
“The congregation is eager to reach out to the com-
munity and to help the historic society that promotes Quaker history in the area,” said Jeff Sebens, a member of Jamestown Friends Meeting. “The Quakers are such a viable part of this community and HJS helps preserve their history.”
The play, “The Difference Between Us,” by Frank Levering, is presented by Terry Ingalls and Heather Elliott from the Mt. Airy area. It consists of letters written between a daughter in Carroll County, Va., and her mother in Ohio.
Until approximately 1820, one-third of the population of what is now Carroll County were Quakers. Many of them began to

move north, settling in Ohio. Historically, children who married outside of the Quaker faith were removed from the Quaker meeting. This is the premise of Levering’s play. The daughter marries a local boy. They remain in Carroll County to raise their family, while the mother, father and other siblings move to Ohio.
Being disowned by the Quaker meeting creates a breach between the daugh-
WHat is tHe triNity?
dear Pastor sid, I attend a church that does not believe in the idea of a Trinity. Is this wrong? Does a Trinity of God exist? How can I understand this? — KL from Climax
Hi kl from climax, The teaching of the Trinity is rooted in the Bible. Yes, the Bible teaches that God is One in Three and Three in One. It is hard to wrap our heads around this sometime, but it is true nonetheless. The word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, but the teaching is there. The Trinity of God is made up of God the Father, Christ the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. They are all equal in power, authority, and eternal existence. In the baptism of Christ we see the Trinity: Christ is baptized, the Holy Spirit descends like a dove, and God the Father speaks. If we believe in the Bible we must believe in the Trinity of God.
Was tHe flood of NoaH GloBal or Just local?
dear Pastor sid,
Thank you for answering our Bible questions. I would love to visit your church sometimes and hear you preach a sermon.
My question is about the Flood of Noah. Our Sunday School teacher taught that the flood was just a local one. My friend at work thinks it was global. Who is right? I want to know what I should believe. — Norma in Winston-Salem
Hi Norma in Winston-salem, Thank you for asking this question. Your coworker is correct on this one. Yes, the flood of Noah was global. This is recorded in Genesis chapters 6-9 and we are told that the waters covered the highest mountains of the earth. That sounds global to me. Here is some other proof for you. A local flood would not have required Noah to build an Ark. Why not just migrate further north or west? Also-why collect all the animals for a local flood? The animals could have also migrated away from the area. Finally, God told Noah that all the people of the earth would be destroyed. A global flood was needed to accomplish this task.
Ask The Pastor is written by Pastor Dr. Sid Stewart, from the Hoover’s Grove Wesleyan Church, 5399 Jackson Creek Rd, Denton. Pastor Sid’s teaching motto is: Making the Complex Simple. If you have a question about the Bible, please email Pastor Sid at moses43@juno.com and it will soon be answered in this column.

ter and her mother, and slavery also generates an issue between the two. The play expands a time frame of about 25 years leading up to the Civil War. It is a story of estrangement and reconciliation.
The play has been preformed at several Friends meetings and other venues.
When Sebens first saw it, he knew he wanted to bring it to the Jamestown community. Members of the local meeting decided to use it as a fundraiser for HJS.
Sebens addressed the HJS Board of Directors about the play and received support from them.
“Historic Jamestown Society is exceedingly
delighted and thankful that Jamestown Friends Meeting has not only offered to host this meaningful and enriching performance, but is also donating the proceeds from the performance to help support preservation and maintenance work at Mendenhall Homeplace,” said Shawn Rogers, director of the Homeplace.
“The story is very moving,” Sebens said. “It has universal appeal and seems appropriate to be held on Mother’s Day weekend.”
Seating at Jamestown Friends Meeting is limited. To reserve seats, send names to jamestownfriendsmeeting@gmail.com. A donation of $10 per person is suggested.
A&e murder trial episode features local attorney
By CARol BRookS freelaNce writer cab1hp@gmail.com
Georgia Nixon, criminal defense attorney in High Point and former Jamestown Councilmember, is featured in the A&E network “Accused: Guilty or Innocent?” The show aired April 17 and is available on A&E’s website, www.aetv.com/shows/ accused-guilty-or-innocent. It is season 7, episode 6, titled “Cyberbully Victim or Vengeful Knife Killer?”
The case revolves around Bianca Perez who claims she was cyberbullied by Gabriela Cruz.
“There were over 3,000 Twitter posts over a year,” Nixon said.
On the evening of June 10, 2021, Cruz and some friends came to Perez’ home as she was returning with her boyfriend and getting out of a car. Verbal abuse on both sides ensued. Perez said Cruz reached through the car and pulled her hair.
Perez had been told to start carrying a knife for protection and she pulled it out of her purse and told Cruz to leave or she would be cut. Cruz didn’t leave and the two women began to scuffle at which point Cruz was stabbed.
One of Cruz’ friends videoed the event on her phone. This record of the event proved invaluable to Nixon’s defense. It caught the scuffle and Cruz saying, “I’ve been stabbed!” When police arrived, Cruz was lying on the ground. She later died at the hospital.
Perez claimed self-defense but the young mother was still arrested and charged with second-degree murder. She was released on a $50,000 bond.
Although Cruz’ friend turned the two clips of her video over to police, there were 14 minutes missing near the beginning, the part where Cruz reached in the car and pulled Perez’ hair. Nixon said both Perez and her boyfriend said hair was pulled.
With Nixon as her defense attorney the trial occurred during April 2024 and lasted five days.
To learn Perez’ fate, watch A&E network’s “Accused: Guilty or Innocent?”
A&E filmed Nixon’s briefings with Perez as well as some of the attorney’s thoughts about the case. Nixon has been a criminal defense attorney for over 33 years.
This is Nixon’s second documentary for A&E. The first, “Screwdriver Stabbing or Defending My Family,” aired Jan. 12, 2023, and also is available on the A&E website Search for Season 4, Episode 1.
The series follows people facing trial for serious crimes as they prepare their defense, face trial and receive a verdict. Each person claims to be not guilty or that their crimes were justifiable.
Brinkworth Productions,, which produces the series, searches the country for attorneys who try a lot of cases so they can be followed through a verdict for the program. They have a list of things they wanteto include, like a high probability the case will go to trial. The client, of course, has to agree to the project.
Another criteria is to have some video of the crime being committed. In Perez’ case, one of Cruz’ friends conveniently had videoed it. Cameras were not permitted in the courtroom, however.

“Driving range revenue experienced a dip in January and February but surged in March to $9,265, surpassing the previous year by 26 percent. Similarly, food and

beverage sales were lower in the first two months but saw growth in March, with a total of $9,566.33, up 20 percent from March 2024.
“Rounds played totaled 4,797 for the quarter, compared to 5,235 in Q1 2024.
While January and February showed decreased participation, March recorded a 12 percent increase, climbing from 2,820 to 3,161 rounds.
“The momentum gained at the end of the quarter sets a positive tone for the upcoming spring season.”
Golf rates
Coakley and Marcy Newton, head golf pro, have
requested a change in the fee schedules for the park and golf course. The changes apply to shelter rentals, rental of the baseball and soccer fields, golf rounds, driving range buckets of balls, park outing rentals and pro shop room rentals. They proposed a 20 percent discount for Jamestown residents. In the past, residents had several tiers of discounts, making it hard to enter the sale into the cash register. Now there is just one button. There was little discussion by the Council who unanimously approved the golf rate changes.

Turrentine, career and technical education teacher, who along with Elliot coordinated the event. It was the school’s third annual spring showcase the two have organized.
“We worked so well together the first year we wanted to do a different presentation each year after that,” Elliot said.
The theme for the spring 2025 showcase was “Refurbish The Greene” and was used to celebrate sustainability, autism awareness and Earth Day.
“The showcases combine what students are learning in each specialized class,” Turrentine explained. “They help students learn critical thinking skills. The challenge is to simplify the research for our students and adapt it to their understanding.
“We teach life skills and see students for their abilities not their disabilities.”
Turrentine completed an externship with Habitat for Humanity during the summer and invited a representative to talk to parents at the school so they could learn how their students might be able to volunteer in the future. The annual showcases also help students realize new capabilities.
“It is rewarding to see students step out of their comfort zones,” Turrentine said. “We want to give them the opportunity to see themselves as successful, to encourage them to believe in themselves and try new things. And we want them to have fun.
“I think it supports the academic process.”
Thirteen classes participated in the showcase, each one setting up a different

Billed as “a day for sharing the Jamestown community’s past and present,” this year’s Community Day is the third for the Historic Jamestown Society. Last year’s event was a great success.
“We’re hosting this to bring the community together,” said Julia Ebel, past president of the Historic Jamestown Society.
“We can learn from each other and, with broader awareness, we can become a stronger, more compassionate community.
“Interesting facets of our community’s story remain unfamiliar to many residents. Community Day is a chance to hear some of those stories and also to share our common memories. You may only cross paths with other communities or different back-
grounds at the grocery store, but you usually do not stop to talk. If you live in Forestdale, you may not know the folks who live in the Oakdale area or know the history of each community.”
The focus of Community Day is to build a stronger, more connected community by offering an opportunity for those who participate to become more aware of their shared history and heritage.
Additional topics include Minerva Mendenhall’s post office at the Richard Mendenhall House, the Mendenhall-Blair House, the Iddings House/Sanitorium/GTCC, religion, the Mendenhall family, medical history, the High Point Public Library, local herbs, veterans, and local Black history.
Centers will be set up on
County Sheriff’s Office has been under discussion for several years due to the fact that residents already pay for Sheriff protection through their Guilford County taxes. Jamestown is the only municipality that charges an extra fee for the service. The Town is working with the Sheriff’s Office to change the contract but nothing has been done to date except to remove paying for new vehicles. There will be no staffing changes.
The proposed budget includes hiring seven more staff members, four full time and three part time. One position is a Planning Technician. Planning Director José Colón believes with all the development going on in and around Jamestown, his department will be busier than it already is.
“We’re trying to plan for the future,” Johnson said.
“Jose is overworked,” Johnson said, after filling in for Colón for several days while the later was on vacation.
“There are some areas of concern,” Johnson said, pointing specifically to money the Town receives from the State for the Powell Bill, money Jamestown uses for street resurfacing. The State is working on a new allocation way to distribute money, reducing its budget by $50 million. Cities below a [population cap] may receive a marginal increase. [Jamestown is below the cap.]
The motor vehicle fee introduced in Jamestown last year will increase. Johnson said it will help if Powell Bill funding does not occur.

The list of items on the Capital Improvement Program is shorter this year so current needs can be completed. Several items have been on the CIP for years.
the lawn at the Mendenhall Homeplace as well as in the Richard Mendenhall and Madison Lindsay houses on the grounds. Visitors are welcome to stop at all the centers to ask questions and learn.
“We want people to talk informally,” Ebel said, “to hear and feel other people’s experiences, both past and present, and to share our own stories, stories about our family and place.”
A representative from High Public Library’s Heritage Research Center will be present to offer guidance on researching genealogy, deed history and other records of our past.
Cedarwood Garden Club members will share information about the herb garden they have maintained for many years next to the Madison Lindsay House.
“I want to finish what we started,” said Councilmember Martha Wolfe.
“I feel comfortable there are things we can pull back on,” said Councilmember Sarah Glanville.
“We are in a better financial position this year,” Johnson offered.
One project that has been in the CIP for several years is completion of the sidewalk along Oakdale Road.
Jason Pegram, assistant public services director, has been working on this project for several months and has a plan to save the Town money on the sidewalk construction. The Town currently pays 20 percent of the construction and the federal government reimburses 80 percent of the $600,000 cost. He said some contractors do not want to work with the government.
“Typically contractors will provide cheaper unit prices with no DOT involved because there is a lot of red tape there,” Pegram said.
“If we did it internally, we could cut that number way down, approximately $300,000. We can combine [the three] phases into one project.”
Johnson said the project would be funded by CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality), which funds transportation projects.
Johnson is happy to see a balanced budget so early in the process.
“It is a balanced budget and I’m extremely proud of [Finance Director] Faith Wilson and her team,” Johnson said. “They have done the heavy lifting.”
The Council will hold a public hearing at its May 20 meeting and a fourth budget retreat on May 29 to finalize the new budget, which will go into effect July 1.
Habitat for Humanity and a local furniture industry.
The room designs have been cleared away now, but the showcase concept is still alive. Turrentine and Elliott are already contemplating what the one for next year might include.
The herbs included are well researched and appropriately chosen for the period of the structures on the site, including the Madison Lindsay House and medical school it housed.
Jamestown will grow if we learn from the past.
“As we reflect and share, our goal is to grow in mutual understanding and awareness as we recognize the power of the past to shape our present,” Ebel

Based on the novel of the same name by Richard Flanagan, this Australian wardrama miniseries is led by the talented Jacob Elordi (Saltburn). Starring as the young version of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor and prisoner of war, Elordi lost all the weight that made him into a convincing high school football player in Euphoria to become a bone-thin soldier who gets captured in the Pacific during World War II. Ciaran Hinds (Game of Thrones ) plays the older version of Dorrigo, and Hinds’ scenes recount his war experiences while Elordi acts them out for us. All five episodes are

in case you Missed it Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy (tV-PG) — Italian-American actor Stanley Tucci (Conclave The Devil Wears Prada , Spotlight ) wanted to go back to his roots for his travel and food show, and this included heading overseas to Italy to explore each region that the beautiful country has to offer. Beginning in Naples and the Amalfi Coast, the first season highlighted some of the food and culture we’ve come to love from popular cities like Rome, Milan and Tuscany. But as the second season takes off, lesspopular regions like Puglia, Liguria and Umbria take the stage, and the culture that gets discovered there might delightfully surprise you. While this lifestyle show only lasted for two seasons, both of which are available to watch now, Tucci filmed more episodes of a similar show that will eventually come out, called Tucci: The Heart of Italy (Netflix)

Get Ready to Fiesta with Elotes: Mexican Street Corn
By pAtti diAmond diVaS oN a dime
Next Monday marks Cinco de Mayo. While the day has deep historical roots, it’s also an opportunity to gather with friends and family, savor the flavors of Mexico, and celebrate the arrival of warmer days. And what better way to do that than with Mexican street corn — also known as elotes?
If you’ve ever strolled the streets of Mexico, you’ve likely encountered the irresistible aroma of grilled corn smothered in a creamy, cheesy savory sauce — a true taste of heaven on a cob! Elotes are the quintessential street food, loved for their perfect balance of smokiness, creaminess and a hint of spice.
Here's A Tip
By JoAnn deRSon
While the corn is grilling, mix the mayo, crema (or sour cream), 1/2 cup of cotija cheese, cilantro, chili powder, and the juice and zest of half a lime in a bowl.
2 limes
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, plus extra for sprinkling optional: cayenne pepper for an extra kick
When I visited my local grocery store for the ingredients, I was taken aback by the rising prices of Mexican imports. Authentic Mexican crema was unexpectedly expensive, so I opted for sour cream as a more affordable substitute. While I missed the subtle sweetness it would have added, the dish was still delicious. I did splurge on cotija cheese, and it was worth every penny.
MeXicaN street corN - elotes yield: 4 servings total time: 30 minutes
4 ears of corn on the cob
1/4 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream for a budget-friendly swap)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled, divided (or feta or Parmesan if that’s cheaper)
2 tablespoons cilantro, minced, plus more to garnish
Your first decision: husk on or off. for corn with Husk on:
— Soak the corn in its husk for 20 minutes. This helps steam the corn as it grills and prevents the husk from burning too quickly.
— Place the soaked corn directly on the grill, turning occasionally, for 15-20 minutes. The husk will char, but the corn inside will stay tender and juicy.
— Once done, carefully remove the husk (it’s hot, so be careful) or pull it into a handle and tie it with twine.
For Corn without the Husk:
— Remove the husk and silk from the corn.
— Brush the corn lightly with olive oil or butter.
— Grill the corn directly on the grates, turning every 2-3 minutes, for about 10-12 minutes, until the kernels are golden and charred in spots.
When the corn is cool enough to touch, generously apply the sauce to the corn using a brush or spoon. Sprinkle with the reserved cotija cheese. For a final touch, top with more cilantro, dust with chili powder and, if you like a little heat, a dash of cayenne pepper. Squeeze the remaining lime juice over everything and serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
diva tip: If you’re hosting a Cinco de Mayo celebration on a budget, consider making elotes the star of your meal. Pair them with smaller portions of shrimp or steak tacos to keep the celebration festive without breaking the bank. This way, you can splurge on a few special ingredients without overspending.
As we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, let’s support local businesses, especially Mexican-owned ones. By supporting them, you’re helping preserve and honor the cultural heritage that this day represents.
Whether for Cinco de Mayo or any celebration, elotes bring the spirit of fiesta to any meal. Serve them at your next barbecue, picnic or taco night, and watch everyone savor every bite.
• There’s been a lot of talk at my house about kitchen gadgets that do double duty, especially since I have made whipped cream for the first time — in my coffeemaker! I have a French press that I rarely use, until now. Add heavy whipping cream and a bit of sugar to the pot, and use the screen to whip the cream by rapidly bringing it up and down. Magic!
• “I love to eat pancakes, but I don’t have time to make them every morning. I make a very large batch on Sundays and reheat them through the week. In order to re-create that fresh from the pan crisp (which you don’t get if you microwave them), I use my toaster.” — P.E. in Ohio
• “I have an extra coffeepot, which I brew a pot of hot water in. I use the water for both tea and instant oatmeal packets in the morning.” — M.S. in Nevada
• Ice-cube trays can be handy for freezing portions of foods. Try freezing individual servings of baby food. Or clean and snip fresh herbs from your garden. Fill the ice-cube tray with tablespoons of olive oil and tuck the herb snippings into the oil. Then freeze. Whatever you freeze can be popped out and stored in a zipper-top bag for quick access.
• “Here’s my tip: Use a muffin pan to make big ice cubes for drinks.” — A.L. in Missouri
• Hashbrowns can be made on a waffle iron. Coat liberally with canola oil or butter-flavored nonstick spray, and add shredded potatoes and finely diced onion. Allow the iron to cook the potatoes to your desired level of crispness, and flip out both sides onto a plate. They will be both crisp and soft!
