Dowling continues educational career at Millis Road Elementary
By no RMA B. denni S FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com
If anyone understands how the past can shape one’s future it is Maggie Dowling. As a child, she loved school and wanted to become a teacher. School, however was really difficult for her due to a significant learning disability in reading.
“Through some champion educators, my parents advocating and a lot of hard work I am able to close that gap,” said Dowling. “Because of my own
experience and educational journey as a child, I knew I wanted to be that champion educator and advocate for students.”
As of July 1, Dowling will be the new principal at Millis Road Elementary School in Jamestown,
continuing to build on a 15-year career in education. She comes to Millis Road from Southwest Elementary School where she was assistant principal.
Dowling began teaching in a self-contained exceptional children’s class at Southern Middle School. The class supported students with autism and behavioral needs. When she began to see a direct correlation between effective leadership and improved student outcomes, she decided to become a principal.
“I observed how strong school leaders create the
conditions for both students and staff to thrive,” Dowling said. “I realized that by serving as a principal, I could expand my impact beyond a single classroom and help create an environment where every student has access to high-quality instruction and every staff member feels supported and empowered.”
As an educator, Dowling thoroughly believes that elementary education plays a critical role in shaping a child’s future. It is during this time that students develop the initial academic, social, emotional
and behavioral skills that will influence their success throughout their educational journey and beyond. It is here that children learn to read, build mathematical reasoning, develop problem-solving skills and establish habits as learners.

Jamestown’s Parks & Recreation Director Scott Coakley had some very good statistics about Jamestown Park usage to pass on to the Town Council on May 19. The statistics related to the new inclusive playground, which opened September 2025, nature trail and new basketball court.
“Since the new playground has opened up, we’ve been able to capture some data,” Coakley said.
This groundwork that leads to future learning, strong relationships and a positive school culture is essential.
“When students experience success and support early in their educational journey, they are more likely to remain engaged, achieve at higher levels and pursue opportunities that positively impact their future,” Dowling said.
As she nears her duties as principal at Millis Road
“Beyond academics, elementary schools help students develop confidence, resilience, communication skills and positive relationships with peers and adults,” she said. “These early experiences often shape how students view themselves as learners and can influence their long-term attitudes toward school and achievement.”
Honor, heart sewn into every quilt
By CAR ol BR ook S FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com
The proverb “Big things come in small packages” can apply to the work of Marcia Pearce. She makes lap quilts, 35x42 inches, for veterans on the Triad Flights of Honor. She applies a small purple heart to quilts destined for those who had received a Purple Heart in service.
Perhaps the biggest thing, however, is Pearce’s heart.
“I get a warm feeling when I give out the quilts,” Pearce said. “I love to hear back from the veterans.”
One veteran recently said she uses her quilt all the time.
“We’re blanketing (the veterans) in love and honor,” said Alison Huber, executive director of Triad Honor Flight, in a recent interview. “They’re always shocked when we hand out the quilts. They just don’t understand why they’re all getting quilts made with so much love.”
While she has been quilting for 20 years, Pearce started making the veterans’ lap quilts in 2022. Both her son and daughter were in the Air Force and she wanted to do her part for the veterans. Her friend, Shelby Kline, was involved with the Honor Flight and got Pearce involved. She already had several yards of leftover patriotic fabric, so she got to work and ended up with 93 lap quilts for the spring flight that year. There are usually 100 veterans on the flights.
“They were going to give [the quilts to the veterans] on the way home but the plane was so cold, they handed them out before they left the Greensboro airport,” Pearce said. “They were all excited. They were warm. A couple of them in wheelchairs kept the quilt on them the whole
day in D.C. All the veterans on the flight, not the guardians, get a quilt.”
To date, she and her helper Susan Causey have donated their time and labor to make approximately 1,000 of the quilts. By the end of the year that number should rise to 1,166. A few friends have donated to the project.

was compared to the same time period as the previous year.
GameTime is a playground by PlayCore and was designated a National Demonstration Site (NDS) by PlayCore.
“PlayCore literally wrote the book on inclusive playgrounds,” Coakley said. “It creates environments that support play and recreation for all people and abilities.
“We’re also on PlayCore to
“When I got this, Jeff [Goard, Parks & Recreation superintendent] and I met with GameTime to go over the data and I was intrigued. It’s been busy and you’ve seen it’s been really busy. Some of these numbers will just blow you away.”
PlayCore’s Center for Outreach, Research and Education (CORE) uses research and advocacy to help build healthy communities through play and recreation. The new Jamestown Park playground showed significant increases in use since it opened in September 2025.
“Our site is becoming an important community destination,” Coakley said.
September 2025-March 2026
Unique visitors rose from 5,900 to 15,300, a 159 percent increase. Total visits rose from 8,200 to 28,400, a 246 percent increase. The week of Oct. 6, 2025, had the most visitors at 2,300 compared to the same period in 2024 at 960 visits.
This increase is making Goard’s crew spend more time cleaning up the area, however.
Visitors did not just go to the park, according to a survey. They also enjoyed dining in Jamestown, up 5 percent and shopping, up
2 percent. Only 1 percent more went home after their park visit. Of all the visitors to the park in the past six months, 52 percent were from High Point, 31 percent were from Greensboro and 17 were either in-state or out-of-state visitors, proof the park is a destination site.
Ironically, Coakley spoke after returning from the fire that damaged a shelter and playground sun shade at the park. Parks & Recreation crews had the area reopened by Saturday following the Tuesday fire.

Hamlin rallies to win Cracker Barrel 400
By R u SS ell SCHM idt
RUSS
After taking the lead from the drop of the Cracker Barrel 400 flag, Denny Hamlin was promptly sent to the rear for an obvious jump-start. The Toyota driver got up on the wheel for the remainder of the race, enough to grab the lead late in the race from Christopher Bell.
Others among the final five included Chase Briscoe, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Shane van Gisbergen.
With a nearly two-hour rain delay start in place, the pack zoomed off as Tyler Reddick showed the fast way around the big Nashville Superspeedway for the first 37 laps. Bell and SVG ran strong, but it was AJ Allmendinger claiming the first stage checkers. It wouldn’t take long for caution flags to fly for issues with brake rotors and calipers exploding! First it was Connor Zilisch, then Dinger and eventually Chris Buescher as well, all ending early on a rollback.
Daniel Suarez happened to be in the lead and able to win the second stage in front of Alex Bowman and Stenhouse.
Numerous lead changes (31 among 15 drivers) filled the next group of laps as Hamlin still worked their way back to the front of the pack. Eleven caution periods for a myriad of reasons slowed the action down for a huge 77 laps!
As Bell led the closing 40 laps, Hamlin was still clawing back to the front, but it would take until the very last lap to make the winning pass for Hamlin’s 63 Cup victory.
Bell was a mere 10th of a second behind at the stripe as were most of the top five finishers.
The latest points stats finds Reddick still out front, but now by 97

Allgaier tops nashville
o’reilly Auto parts series
For the second consecutive year, Justin Allgaier pulled up his bootstraps and zoomed his Chevy racecar into victory lane after a late race pass on leader Brent Crews. Allgaier’s latest win marks his 32nd series conquest and third of the season.
The Sports Illustrated Resorts 250 started with pole sitter Jesse Love leading the opening 49 laps before the first yellow flew for Cleetus McFarland spin to bunch up the field.
The second stage found Allgaier, Love and Crews fighting for the lead with a passion. Allgaier checkered the stage with Love and Carson Kvapil nearby. Crews battled for the lead with Allgaier including an occasional trading of more than paint. Veteran series champion Allgaier exhibited his racing prowess against a very young 18-year-old and talented Crews, besting him by nearly a second and a half. Others in the top five included William Sawalich, Sam Mayer and Brandon Jones.
The latest points stats shows Allgaier way out front with a 145 point lead over Love and 167 ahead of Corey Day.

It took Layne Riggs a lot of laps to reach leader Rajah Caruth, but once he did, the Front Row Motorsports Ford driver sailed away into the Allegiance 200 winners’ circle for the third time this season!

strong background is both exciting and humbling.”
Dowling said. “I look forward to learning from and contributing to the continued success of Millis Road.”
Her immediate goals are learning the school’s traditions, values and unique qualities that make both Millis Road and the greater Jamestown area special, while working alongside stakeholders to support student success and strengthen community partnerships.
As a new principal to the school she realizes the challenges of building trust and establishing strong relationships with students, staff and the community.
“Effective leadership begins with listening, learning, and understanding the people and systems that make Millis Road unique and special,” Dowling said.
Throughout the summer, Dowling plans to meet with staff members to do just that in order to gain a better understanding of their perspectives, strengths and aspirations for the school.
Before the 2026-2027 school year starts, she will host a community event to provide students and families an opportunity to meet her, to begin building relationships and establishing a strong partnership.
“By prioritizing relationships and taking the time to understand the Millis Road community, I hope to build trust and create a strong foundation for future growth and success,” Dowling said.
driver would work very hard to get back among the leaders which took until the very last lap to pass leader Caruth for his eighth career win.
Rounding off the top five finishers included Caruth (a half second back), Chandler Smith, Ross Chastain and Tyler Ankrum.

palou top performer at indyCar detroit gp
Spanish IndyCar driver Alex Palou had the bit between his teeth all weekend in leading and topping the charts on the streets of the Detroit Grand Prix to claim his fourth win of the season. The well-attended event saw Palou lead early, mid and late periods en route to a dominating performance on a tough street course.
Capping the top-five finishers included Kyle Kirkwood as runnerup, an impressive Graham Rahal to third with Pato O’Ward and Christian Lundgaard among them.
The latest points stats has Palou out front by 68 over Kirkwood and 79 ahead of David Malukas.
mini truckin’
Mini Tyrrell was back in Ram action over the weekend, this time truckin’ on the Nashville Superspeedway oval in his number 14 Ram ride. This was another track the young driver had never competed on, so starting deep in the pack in 33rd was surely going to be another learning experience.
The early part of the race saw Tyrrell go down a lap, only to recover by race’s end to a very respectful lead lap 20th all while maintaining his 19th place points standing.
Up close and personal
When not working, Maggie Dowling, the new principal at Millis Road Elementary School, enjoys going on adventures with her family, including husband, Thomas, and four children, Avery, Amelia, Gracelynn and Maisie. She also likes to snorkel and listen to audio books.
Her favorite children’s book is “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl. A special quote from the book is “We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.”
“I love this story because of the imagination, wonder and creativity woven throughout the world that Roald Dahl created,” she said. “The story reminds us that creativity has no limits and encourages readers to dream big, explore new possibilities, and embrace curiosity.”
Dowling noted that beyond its imaginative setting, the book highlights important values such as honesty, humility, kindness and the importance of family. Charlie’s character demonstrates that integrity and gratitude are often more valuable than material possessions. She likes that the book is filled with a combination of boundless creativity and meaningful life lessons.
A recent adult book that Dowling has enjoyed is “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt.
Quik bits It was a record crowd at the latest Memorial Day Indy 500. Do you have any idea what the winner Felix Rosenqvist won besides trophies, a $225,000 Corvette pace car among other smaller accolades?
Rapid Rosenqvist walked away with a cool $4.4 million dollars! In fact, the average payout across the 33-car field was close to a million bucks a piece! More new records. Awesome event. I’ve been fortunate to have attended seven of them. A trip to Indy should be on any car guy’s bucket list.
From rumorville
As predicted, Corey Heim has been scooped up for a full-time NASCAR Cup ride for 23XI Racing in 2027 and beyond. The 23-year-old driver has proven his worth many times across the upper three tiers of NASCAR competition. Look for Heim alongside Cup Toyota winners Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick. I’d say that will be a triple-threat powerhouse combo to success. Details are still being developed, but we can confirm it will be in a number 35 Toyota Camry with lots of 23XI resources. The short list of potential sponsors at this early juncture include TREETOP, BEATBOX and FRE Nicotine Pouches. Crew chief duties have been slated for Davin Restivo. That’s it for this week. Look for NASCAR news from the big Michigan Speedway for the Cup series while O’Reilly and Craftsman series take a two-week break. In addition, we’ll cover other racing venues from around the globe such as Indy and F1 racing.

You will not find Pearce and Causey sitting down at a quilt frame, however, stitching intricate patterns by hand. That is a good thing because Pearce said she cannot follow patterns but she can make something from a picture. Instead, they use a large computerized machine in Pearce’s basement that can create an elaborate large queen-size quilt in about one-half hour. Several quilt designs are available from which to choose. They then cut the large quilt into six smaller ones and use a serger machine to edge the three layers and then add the binding.
Since it does not take long to make a lap quilt, the business is officially called Quilts “Sew” Quick. Pearce has used the machine for four years.
Each quilt has a red, white and blue color scheme, but not all the same design. Pearce has 8-10 different patterns to choose from.
Pearce and Causey recently were able to participate in one of the Honor Flights as guardians to three people.
“I’ve received some of the prettiest thank-you cards for the quilt they just loved,” Pearce said. “One person said their quilt was now framed. I’ve got such good friends from it.”
“It surprised me that it meant enough that they sought us out to thank us,” Causey said of their flight.
“To me, it’s just a little lap quilt.”
The Honor Flights are not the only place Pearce donates her time. She also does small quilts for Ruff Love Rescue, Great Dane Friends, Ronald McDonald House and others. She and her Great Dane therapy dog Big Ben volunteer and appear at shows, like the upcoming Fiber Arts Day.
In addition to the patriotic quilts, Pearce and Causey make memory, prayer and T-shirt quilts as well as stuffed animals.
The Flight of Honor lap quilts are their favorite, however.
“We have had a blast doing it. It is hard to describe how you feel when you see their reaction,” Pearce said of watching the veterans receive the quilt. “To me, it’s a small token to them, a little bit of time and effort. But the veterans are so thankful someone thought enough of them to do this.” Pearce can be reached at www,quiltsewquick. com.
Triad Honor Flight is a nonprofit organization that flies local veterans to Washington, D.C. — free of charge — to visit the nation’s veteran memorials. For more information, visit www.triadhonorflight.org.

Now Here's A Tip

• Want to eat your nine servings of fruits and veggies a day? Keep fresh fruit out and in view to increase the amount you eat. Cut and otherwise prepare vegetables and store them front and center in your refrigerator. Plan your meals around the vegetables instead of the protein!
Some recipes arrive after careful planning and a thoughtfully organized shopping list. Others happen after opening the pantry, spotting peanut butter and oats, and deciding leaving the house sounds far too ambitious.
These bars belong firmly in the second category.
Made with pantry staples and very little effort, they land somewhere between a cookie, snack bar and possibly breakfast with questionable intentions. They’re soft, chewy, peanut buttery and just responsible enough to feel acceptable while still tasting like a treat.
Food of Flexible Moral Identity
Not quite health food. Not exactly dessert. Foods that occupy a charming gray area and suggest, “Look, we’re all doing our best here.”
These recipes use ingredients that could certainly be worse. Oats are involved.
Peanut butter has protein. Sometimes fruit appears.
They carry just enough nutritional credibility to avoid being lumped in with frosted toaster treats or plastic-wrapped snack cakes.
Of course, balance matters. For every Food of Flexible Moral Identity we eat, perhaps we balance the universe with a kale salad containing absolutely no bacon.
with parchment paper to make the bars easy to lift out and cut.
In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, stir together the oats, peanut butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix briefly, just until everything comes together. Fold in the chocolate chips, press into the prepared pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for about three days.
Recipe Variations:
1/2
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or table salt)
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
Think of this recipe as more of a suggestion than a contract. Swap the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit, shredded coconut or even a big handful of berries. Feel free to bump the mix-ins up to about 3/4 cup if you’re feeling generous. Crunchy peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter or sun butter all work beautifully too. These bars are easygoing and not particularly interested in enforcing rules.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9x9 pan
Want to send these over the top? Peanut butter and chocolate are one of history’s strongest alliances. Drizzle with melted chocolate chips or top with this quick peanut butter chocolate topping. peAnut butter ChoColAte topping
In a 2-cup microwave-safe measuring cup, heat the peanut butter and butter in 30 second increments just until melted. Stir until smooth, add cocoa powder, and stir again. Spread over cooled bars and refrigerate until set. Your humble oatmeal bars have now become considerably more fancy pants.
Some of the best recipes begin with, “I’m absolutely not going to the store today.” A little pantry creativity and a willingness to work with what’s already on hand can produce delicious results.
