Holder is new Ragsdale athletic director

BY CARol BRook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

Deborah Jones was all smiles on May 28 as she was winding down her tenure as Ragsdale High School athletic director on May 31. She was looking forward to her new position as a materials planner for Lydech but also smiling because she knew she was leaving the job of athletic director in good hands.

Michael Holder was named the school’s new athletic director in April and officially took over June 1. “I am very excited to continue to

be an integral part of the Ragsdale family,” he said. “Our vision is to utilize the foundational strengths and stability built by Debbie Jones and expand our facilities to encourage success.”

Holder will not be a new face on the Ragsdale campus. He served as assistant baseball coach to his cousin Donnie Maness since 2012 and a teacher of engineering since 2016, and assistant AD since 2020. When the school searched for a new AD, officials eventually promoted Holder, someone from within who already knew the routine.

Before joining the school system, Holder spent several years

Sheriff contract still not settled

The May 28 meeting was announced as being the Jamestown Town Council’s fourth budget meeting but very little was discussed budget-wise. The majority of the 40-minute meeting concerned the town’s contract with the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. The contract does, however, have an impact on the budget.

“It appears we’re paying for the whole department [in Jamestown],” said Finance Officer Faith Wilson regarding the charges for uniforms, insurance, vehicle, repairs, fuel, furniture, equipment, education and training, etc. listed in the contract.

“We should just be paying the deputies’ salaries,” said Councilmember Martha Wolfe.

“It’s an equity issue,” said Town Manager Matthew Johnson. “We’re not getting what they offer.”

Discussion about the contract has been going on for several years and was a major topic at the previous year’s budget meetings.

Jamestown does not have a police force. When trouble arises, the town relies on the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office to come to the rescue. The Sheriff’s District 3 office is located at 211 Hillstone Dr., moving here in 2013 from a location on the campus of Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC). It is led by Capt. Latoya Howell and is staffed around the clock.

The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office website states, “The primary function of District 3 is uniformed patrol and the criminal investigations of crimes related to assaults, burglary, theft, fraud, forgery, vehicle theft, possession or receiving sto-

working in surveying and project engineering as well as coaching youth baseball.

But at Ragsdale, it seems he is always on the campus.

“You won’t find someone that truly enjoys doing stuff and it’s not always money-bound,” he said. “I like to show up and the field’s green. That means more to me than the money. You see something that needs to be fixed. I’m going to go do it and be done with it.”

Holder already has several goals in mind as athletic director, including improving the facilities.

Haynes-Inman hosts special guests

Haynes-Inman Education Center in Jamestown hosted four special Teachers of the Year guests on May 15. Included were Heather Smith, 2024 Burroughs Wellcome Fund North Carolina Teacher of the Year; Will Marrs 2024 Piedmont Triad Teacher of the Year; Chanel Jones, 2025 Piedmont Triad Teacher of the Year, and Leah Carper, 2023 North Carolina Teacher of the Year.

Smith has taught for eight years and is currently an eighth grade math teacher at Waynesville Middle School in Haywood County. She also is a National Board Certified Teacher who is known for her dedication to student growth and innovative teaching methods.

Her teaching philosophy centers on the belief that positive relationships are essential for student success. She strives to create an environment where students feel loved, valued and challenged.

Marrs is a career technical education teacher at Davie High School. He teaches drafting and is known for his dedication to students, treating them with respect and fostering their confidence. Students describe him as a mentor who genuinely cares about their success.

Jones teaches sixth grade social studies and has spent her entire seven-year teaching career at Broadview Middle School, where she fosters a sup-

portive and inclusive learning environment.

Her commitment to her students extends beyond academics – she prioritizes their emotional well-being and selfconfidence, ensuring they feel valued and supported in her classroom.

Carper taught English II at Northern Guilford High School. She is known for her innovative teaching methods using literature to help students become empathetic, contributing members of a global community. She engages with educators across the state, and advocates for education at various levels.

Carper currently serves in Guilford County Schools administration.

Haynes-Inman Principal Kevin Carr led the four guests, along with several North Car-

“They were very interested in the various communication systems and devices used by the students throughout the 17 classrooms,” said Vicki Simmons, former adaptive PE teacher at Haynes-Inman, who helped coordinate the tour. Simmons was impressed that the educators connected so well with the students.

“I think it is important that all these educational leaders visit our school and meet the students in their learning environment. When state-level discussions come up, they can provide input based on their personal experiences with students with significant needs.”

FaMily Fun June 21 will be an exciting day for girls from the greater Jamestown area. Little Miss Jamestown will be crowned during a special pageant at Peters Quarters, 665 N. Main Street in High Point. The pageant is open to girls from birth to age 18. The pageant will be held in conjunction with a car and bike show. Gift cards, cash prizes and trophies will be presented to winners. The event also includes live music, food truck, bounce houses and more. Activities begin at 10 a.m. and will be held outside weather permitting.

Magic Feet Dance Company in Jamestown and O’Reilly Auto Parts are sponsors of the event. Girls entering the pageant do not have to be a member of the dance company to participate.

Town receives a clean audit

BY CARol BRook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

As in years past, the Town of Jamestown received a clean, or unmodified opinion, audit for fiscal year 202324. Nick Wicker, of Strickland Hardee, PLLC, CPAs, presented the summary at the May 27 Town Council meeting.

During this time, 39 young people have received a total of $76,500 through the Lane Pleasants Memorial Scholarship. The latest scholarships were awarded during Senior Day at the June 8 JPC worship service. A display board highlighted pictures and news articles of past recipients, waiting to receive information about the latest.

“For a church the size of Jamestown Presbyterian and a youth group that is seldom more than 20 individuals, our youth stand out as leaders ready to make a difference in this world both academically and socially,” Clarajo said. “It makes Bill

and Madison Salthouse. They are shown with the 2024 scholarship recipient and presenter Jordan Smith.

and me so proud.”

The scholarship program was established in 1999 in memory of Lane after her passing following a lung transplant due to cystic fibrosis. The Pleasants fam-

ily and Jamestown Presbyterian Session created the scholarship from memorial contributions made by church members, family,

“We did not assess any material weaknesses and we did not assess any significant deficiencies,” Wicker said. “We also made no other recommendations and internal controls to the Town.” Wicker said management’s estimation of depreciation is a key estimate in the audit and that it has been consistent with prior years. He praised the Town staff as being cordial and hospitable.

The Town’s General Fund increased $1,689,393 compared to the previous year. All other funds decreased $317,642 so combined funds increased $1,372,751 compared to the previous year. Unassigned fund balance of $5,141,251 is available to be used.

Ask The Pastor why is the resurrection of Christ so Important?

BY pASTo R dR. SId STEWART

Dear Pastor Sid, I know that Easter was a few weeks ago. I did not go to church on that Sunday because my son was not feeling to good. But please tell me: Why is the resurrection of Christ so important? — Mary in Winston-Salem

Hi Mary in Winston-Salem, Late Happy Easter to you. The resurrection of Jesus is the most important truth or doctrine in the Bible. By His resurrection we know that Jesus is God, we know that He was sinless as death cannot dominate a sinless person, and we know the Jesus conquered everything the Devil can throw at us. Because of the resurrection of Jesus we now can be forgiven of our sins, and know that we are heading to heaven. Because of this we know why the Bible was written and why the church world exists. In fact, all of life here and beyond makes sense because of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. For more information on His resurrection, read the last two chapters of each Gospel.

WHat iS Meant by tHe WorD GoSPel?

Dear Pastor Sid,

Please help me understand what is the word Gospel means? I attend a gospel church, and hear gospel preaching, but really do not know what this means. Do you know? — Daniel in Thomasville

Hi Daniel in Thomasville,

The word “Gospel” is only found in the New Testament. Here is one example: Matthew 4: 23, “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom.” The Greek or original word is euaggelizo from which we get evangelism. And it means to share good news. So Jesus preached good news or the Gospel to those who hurt, and He healed the sick. All of this is good news, but so is forgiveness of sins, and the truth of an eternity in heaven. In heaven there is no pain, or suffering, or crime, or fake news. Read more about what God has in store for all forgiven people in Revelation chapters 21 and 22. This is the Gospel and it is very good news. “Come unto me all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11: 28).

“The decrease with all other funds is your capital project funds and special revenue funds,” Wicker said.

Ad valorem taxes, or property taxes based on the assessed value of property, increased $822,184. Intergovernmental taxes decreased $107,868. Services and fees increased $322,600. Other fees increased $106,732. In total, revenue increased $1,143,648.

“In ad valorem taxes, property taxes accounted for $687,325 and motor vehicle tax increased $46,531,” Wicker said. He added the Town did not receive any American Rescue Plan Act funds during the fiscal year resulting in the intergovernmental decrease.

“Servicing fees increased due to greens fees and storm water fees, which were new.” General government expenses showed an increase of $92,787. Public Services had a decrease of $1,276,832. Public safety increased $20,395. Recreation decreased $69,740. Debt service decreased $51,899. These figures represent an increase of $1,276,284 for all governmental expenses.

Water and sewer revenue increased $1,516,335 with $11,692,639 available to use. Department expenses increased $321,612.

At the end of Wicker’s report, the Council had the opportunity to comment.

“What stuck me is our debt is really low,” said Councilmember Martha Wolfe. “I think it’s awesome the Town has little debt. “The unassigned fund balance for the General Fund is extremely healthy.”

This was the second year Strickland Hardee conducted the audit and Wicker said it went better this year. He attributed the ease to having Faith Wilson, finance officer, upload all the Town’s fixed assets into the accounting software, rather than having an Excel worksheet.

Town Manager Matthew Johnson had some comments on the audit.

“My key takeaway was that the Town has been very frugal in expenditures and very conservative in budgeting, which is a direct benefit to the citizens,” he said. “I appreciate all the hard work Faith and her team have done.”

Volunteers turn final page in league’s history

The Jamestown Youth League had long rented a room at the Jamestown Public Library to store equipment and records for its organization. Since the league has dissolved, Greg Gardner, a past board member, and several members of the Ragsdale High School football team volunteered to clear the room so the library could use it moving forward.

Any useable equipment was donated to other organizations and outdated equipment that no longer passed safety recommendations was discarded.

The volunteers spent

hours turning the final page in the history of the league, which had provided opportunities for youth in the Jamestown area to participate in various organized sports for 40 years.

bathroom rather than having to come all the way back to the building. The stadium is not handicapped-accessible and there are some other deficiencies that need to be updated.”

The Grimsley High School graduate’s other goal is to include the Jamestown area community in taking more of a part in Ragsdale High School. There are many Ragsdale alumni in the community.

“Calling all Tigers! It’s time to come home!”

“This place has a special place in Guilford County,” he said. “Ragsdale has been like that hidden gem that nobody talks about. There’s nothing like Jamestown-Ragsdale — nothing like it in Guilford County. We have this little community that’s surrounded by all these bigger communities. [The town] kind of owns this place.

“But now, Jamestown-Ragsdale are not connected like they used to be. Rezoning [of school districts] had something to do with it. Graduates are our family. We want to bring our alumni home. If you want your sports to be strong, you have to have the alumni united in what they do. Our mission is to bring the community together to showcase how strong the Ragsdale community is. We should never not be intertwined. The level of education we do here affects Jamestown.

“We’re not producing baseball players, football players, wrestlers … we’re producing fathers, mothers, husbands, wives. The more successful they can be doing these sports, the better mom, husband, they can

len property and juvenile criminal offenses.”

But there is something unique about this particular office. Jamestown is the only municipality in the county that contracts with the Sheriff’s Office for service. Other towns, such as Gibsonville, Pleasant Garden and Summerfield receive virtually the same service Jamestown does – at no extra cost. Therefore, it appears Jamestown residents are paying double for the service.

“Our citizens are paying through their Guilford County taxes for some of the services,” said attorney Rob Brown of Roberson, Haworth & Reese, PLLC.

The contract ensures there is a dedicated officer on duty within the town limits 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

After the Town Council had already discussed a preliminary budget, around May 19 of this year, the Sheriff’s Office sent the town their estimated budget of $605,585 for fiscal year 2025-26. The Council has budgeted $500,000, the same amount as the previous year.

be. Sports don’t matter. I want them to leave here and be responsible. When they’re successful, that means we did something right.”

With his new duties as athletic director, Holder will have to give up both teaching and coaching, something he said he would miss 1,000 percent.

“I have had so much fun coaching,” he said. “I love the kids. I’m like a member of their family. If you need me, call me.”

“Coach Holder exemplifies what we are about at Ragsdale: he is hard working, has a can-do attitude, and is all in,” said Principal Noel Keener. “He believes in the Ragsdale community and believes we can do anything – together. We are so excited for this next phase of Ragsdale Athletics.

“We thank Coach Deborah Jones for working hard over the past six years and after COVID to rebuild our athletic culture. Thanks to her, we are ready for what’s next.”

“It has been an honor to serve the students and community of Ragsdale High School for the past six years,” said Jones. “Michel Holder’s varied experiences in athletics and leadership make him an excellent choice to lead Ragsdale Athletics. His deep love for Ragsdale High School, combined with his passion for fostering student-athletes, will undoubtedly elevate our programs and inspire our community. I wish him all the best and look forward to seeing the continued success of our athletic programs under his direction.”

budget allocated $471,828 to the GCSO, with $274,898 of that being salaries. The Town usually purchases a new vehicle for the deputies each year but deferred in 2024-25. The 2023-24 budget was $431,453.35. Just four years ago, the 2021-22 budget was $403,162. What the GSCO is asking for 2025-26 is $247,423 higher than four years ago.

Brown has been working with the GCSO on changes to the current contract, which was signed in 1991.

“They have accepted most of the changes but will go up 29 percent,” he said of the current offer, but added, “The figures don’t work. We’re back to square one.”

“I thought they would be relieved that we are continuing with the same amount of services,” Wolfe said.

The matter is going back to the Town Council to discuss. Brown will talk with other municipalities of similar size to see what they do.

“We’re basically reimbursing them for their services,” he added.

“We have the option to remove one officer and go down to a four officer staff dedicated to Jamestown but there might be some hours

that there is not a deputy assigned,” Brown said, noting their budget would be reduced to $428,000.

Councilmember Sarah Glanville clarified that if the Town did not sign a new contract, the same service would continue.

Brown did point out that Jamestown is located in the relative center of the county so some law enforcement agency is always close.

“If we approve the budget with the knowledge that it will not exceed $500,000 and [the Sheriff’s Office] will not change [their request of $605,585], then what?” asked Wolfe. Brown said there would be a budget amendment and the extra funds would come out of the Town’s fund balance. The current contract is 34-years-old but is in effect until terminated or amended with a proposed updated contract. It is renewed yearto-year.

At the end of the May 29 meeting, the Council approved a resolution authorizing continued negotiations and contract execution with the Sheriff’s Office at a cost not to exceed $500,000.

“Today’s JPC scholarship recipients have shown exemplary excellence in all categories as well as additional accomplishments,” Smith said at the presentation.

The three scholarship recipients all graduated from Ragsdale High School.

Carolina elizabeth van thillo has attended JPC with her parents James and Suzanne van Thillo since she was 5 years old. Throughout the years she has been an active participant in numerous church activities, including Christmas programs, missions trips, delivering food boxes during the holidays and not only attending Vacation Bible School, but also becoming a group leader for younger participants.

In school she was an officer in the student council for four years, a member of the Beta Club, National Honor Society, Peer Tutoring, Coloring Club, Book Club, Service-Learning Club, Speech and Debate Member, Robotics Club and Key Club. She served as an officer and/or helped plan service projects in several of the groups. She also served as a Junior Marshal.

Van Thillo has played soccer since the age of 5 and refereed the game for four years, also volun-

teering at summer camp to teach soccer skills to participants. She played soccer at Ragsdale all four years, participating in competitive club soccer as well. She was on the cross-country team one year.

In the fall, van Thillo plans to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and major in nursing with minors in neuroscience and Spanish. Her career goal is to be a nurse anesthetist, perhaps working as a traveling nurse.

“I am excited about what my future may hold, and am looking forward to all the new experiences I will have,” van Thillo said.

Madison Grace Salthouse excelled in academics during her years at Ragsdale earning her membership in the Beta Club and National Honor Society. She was on the A Honor Roll all four years and served as a Junior Marshal. She was a member of the Student Council, serving as an officer all four years, and participated in the Student Human Relations Club, Spirit Club and Senior Buddies.

Sports also played an important part of Salthouse’s high school career. She played soccer all four years and was captain her senior year, swam all four years, and served as captain her senior year, and played for the first inaugural season of flag football her senior year. She received Best Defensive player her freshman year, was named all conference and all regional her sophomore and junior years and received the Molly Totunda award presented by Beyond Sports Foundation her senior year.

During the summer, she worked

as a lifeguard for Carolina Pool Management, was a swim coach and also worked in the snack bar at Grandover Swim and Racquet Club.

Salthouse began attending JPC with her family when she was in the third grade. Among the many service projects she helped with were Rise Against Hunger, making sandwiches for Kelsey’s Kids and serving food and distributing supplies at the Homeless Shelter.

“Attending youth group throughout middle and high school has allowed me to collaborate with other kids like me while also learning about God,” Salthouse said. “Going to Montreat has also impacted me greatly.”

Salthouse feels that her activities through school, church and work has enabled her to have a positive influence on others.

The daughter of Jim and Karen Salthouse, Salthouse will attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to major in math.

Like the others, owen adam robinson has found a balance among academics, athletics and service to God through JPC and the Jamestown community. Time management has played a key role as he strived to excel both academically and athletically. Due to his goal to pursue baseball as a career, Robinson has put much of his time into training and playing for the Ragsdale team, as well as participating in traveling baseball, which took him across the country for competitions. He has pushed forward through major physical obstacles.

Robinson received the Metro 4A Conference Pitcher of the Year

award and was named Ragsdale’s Player of the Game 18 times, and Player of the Week among all school athletes twice. He also spent time assisting students with disabilities who wanted to participate in athletic programs.

An active member of JPC, Robinson has volunteered for many projects including Rise Against Hunger, served in leadership roles in VBS, attended retreats at Arise and Montreat and helped with Worship Ministry commitments. He helped JPC Outreach and Church World Services set up apartments for refugee families.

He has worked for a company called Doodycalls, picking up pet

waste from commercial properties and residential homes. Robinson will attend Catawba College where he has signed to play baseball. He plans to work toward a double major in strategic communication and psychology.

“I hope to find a faith-based community on campus where I can meet new people and grow a better relationship with God,” Robinson said. He is the son of Ben and Becky Robinson.

In addition to the scholarship winners, Anna Henry, also a graduating senior from Ragsdale, was recognized during the Senior Day event.

during Senior day at Jamestown presbyterian Church, the congregation recognized members who graduated this spring, including, left to right, owen Robinson, Anna Henry, Madison Salthouse and Caroline Van Thillo.

american aesthetic

BY TERRY ANd kIM koVEl

Identify the designer of an antique and it will usually sell for more. Sometimes an attribution is enough. This Aesthetic Movement table with ebonized finish, incised gilt decoration and flower panels sold for an impressive $6,144 at Neal Auction. While you can’t dismiss its visual appeal — after all, it was made during the Aesthetic Movement of the late 19th century, the time of “art for art’s sake” — its attribution to New York firm Kimbel & Cabus was probably a factor in its selling. The Kimbel & Cabus firm was active from 1862 to 1882 and famous for exhibiting their furniture at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. The ebonized table is typical of their designs, with its dark finish, elaborate gilt and incising, sturdy square shape and nature-inspired decoration. Very little information about the firm survives. They marked their furniture with paper labels that have worn away over time, so the only way to identify their furniture is to match it to the pictures in their one surviving trade catalog. That is why this table is attributed to them, not confirmed. Because they are so difficult to identify, Kimbel & Cabus furniture pieces are extremely rare and therefore valuable.

Echo Valley (r) — The drama is intense with this next release on June 13, a thriller film led by the incredible duo of Julianne Moore and Sydney Swee-

ney. Following mother Kate (Moore) and daughter Claire (Sweeney), the film kicks off when Claire shows up at her mother’s farm in Pennsylvania frightened and covered in her boyfriend’s blood. Wanting to be there for her child, Kate tries to help Claire recover from a situation that resulted in an accidental death. But as time passes, their secret is threatened to be exposed, and Kate must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her kin. (Apple TV+)

Since the show’s premiere on June 3, episodes release basically every day until mid-July, with a reunion episode following the finale about a month later in August. Time will tell if this season brings as much drama as last year’s season with Leah Kateb and Andrea Carmona, but we’ll definitely be rooting for a few of the Florida locals — Chelley from Orlando, Nicolas from Jacksonville, and Yulissa from Miami!

It’s Soup-er Savings: Broccoli & Potato Soup to the Rescue

BY pATTI d IAM o

Let’s talk about that moment.

You know the one. When it’s the end of the month, the fridge is giving tumbleweed vibes, the budget is stretched thinner than a dollar-store trash bag, and yet ... folks still want dinner.

What’s a Diva to do? Wait! What is that in the sky? Is that a soup-er hero? Why, it’s Broccoli and Potato Soup to the rescue! It says, “I’m humble, hearty, quietly heroic, and I’m here to save you and your dinner!”

This is the soup I turn to when I need something plentiful and filling on the table fast. It’s also the soup I lean on when someone says they’re stopping by and I haven’t been to the store in a week. Because every ingredient in this soup is a pantry or freezer staple that won’t spoil if it sits tight until you need it. Russet potatoes? Check. Frozen broccoli? Check. Carrots, celery and onion? The holy trinity of thrifty flavor. But wait! There’s more!

Now here’s the frugal magic trick: Instead of cream, this recipe uses evaporated milk. It’s shelf-stable, budget-friendly and creamy as all get-out. It blends beautifully with the potatoes and gives the soup that silky, creamy texture without tipping your grocery bill into “why-did-I-buyorganic-cream?” territory.

And if you think soup is a winter only affair, allow me to nudge you gently. This one is also shockingly delicious served cold. Think of this soup as vichyssoise’s less fancy cousin, the one who shows up in a thrifted cardigan, knows how to stretch a dollar and still manages to taste amazing. Creamy, comforting and totally unpretentious — just the way we like it.

broCColi & Potato SouP

yield: 6 servings

total time: 30 minutes

3 tablespoons olive oil or butter

1 large onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup celery, minced

1/2 cup carrot, shredded

1 (16-ounce) bag frozen broccoli cuts, 5 cups

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth/stock

3 cups water

1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

1 cup cheddar cheese, or cheese of choice, grated Green onions, finely sliced (optional garnish)

Cheese, grated (optional garnish)

Heat oil in a soup pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion, celery and carrot;

cook for about 3 minutes, or until softened.

While that’s cooking, open the frozen broccoli and separate some of the “prettier” florets to add at the end of cooking. Place the remainder of the broccoli and all the potato into the pot. Add garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir, then add stock and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are completely tender.

Once the veggies are tender, remove from heat and add the evaporated milk. Using an immersion (stick) blender, blend soup until smooth (or in batches with a countertop blender).

Add the reserved “prettier” broccoli florets and return to the heat for 2 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove from heat, stir in the cheese and adjust seasoning to taste.

Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes.

Add a crisp green salad and some crusty bread, and you’ve got a lunch — or dinner — that looks like you had a plan all along.

It’s affordable. It’s adaptable. And it’s proof that with a few smart staples, and a soup-er hero recipe, you’re never more than 30 minutes from a satisfying meal.
