Exceptional scholar athletes at Ragsdale High School are nothing new. But for the first time two of them have been recognized with scholarships presented by the Ragsdale Athletic Booster Club.
“Our club was able to do this because of the generous support of our community sponsors and fundraising within the booster club,” said Nathan Fisher, RHS Athletic Booster Club president. “We are proud to have been able to present a $500 scholarship to a male and female scholar athlete this year.”
Recipients of the first Ragsdale Scholar Athlete Scholarship awards for 2024 are Ella Perez and Harrison Howard, both of whom excelled academically while showing dedication to their chosen sports.
As the name of the scholarship implies, recipients for this award must show excellence in the classroom as well as in sports. They are
dual-sport athletes participating in two varsity sports for at least two full academic years, one of which being their senior year. They also rank above all other athletes in their academic achievement.
The awards were presented during the school’s Senior Awards night in May.
“Their dedication, hard work and determination have set them apart as examples of what can be achieved through a combination of talent, discipline and passion,” Fisher said. “They have not only excelled individually but have also served as inspirations to their teammates, classmates and the entire Ragsdale community.”
There is no doubt that participating in sports while maintaining good grades requires countless hours of practice and sacrifice.
• Ella Perez participated in women’s tennis, swimming, and women’s lacrosse. She was selected to the 4A metro all-conference team in women’s tennis.
Perez also achieved the highest GPA among the female multi-

PLANNING DIRECTOR
The Town of Jamestown is looking for a new planning director. A brochure listing qualifications and expectations was posted on the town’s Facebook page recently and is available at https:// tinyurl.com/PlanningDirectorJob.
The brochure reads, in part: “Jamestown is more than just a place on the map — it’s a vibrant community where neighbors know each other by name and visitors are welcomed with open arms. With a rich history and a commitment to sustainable growth, our town offers a rare blend of tradition and opportunity.
Job Description
As our Planning Director, you will be at the forefront of guiding our town’s development and growth. Working closely with local officials, stakeholders, and residents, you will lead efforts to create and implement comprehensive plans that shape our community’s future. From zoning regulations to economic development strategies, you will have the chance to make a lasting impact on Jamestown.”

sport athletes at Ragsdale. Her commitment to both academics and athletics contributed to her selection for the scholarship and set her apart as a role model for others.
In the fall, Ella will continue her education at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
• Harrison Howard participated in cross country, as well as indoor and outdoor track. He won the Guilford County Championship in cross country, the one-mile race in indoor track and the two-mile race in outdoor track.
Howard leaves his mark on Ragsdale by breaking two school records. In cross country he surpassed a record that had stood since 2001. He also set a school record in the 1000-meter indoor race breaking one that had been in place for 21 years.
Howard achieved the highest GPA among the male multi-sport athletes showing his ability to balance both his studies and athletic pursuits. He plans to apply that same principal of balance to his activities at Appalachian State University where he hopes to participate in club sports along with his studies.
“Members of the booster club are confident that Ella and Harrison will continue to inspire others and achieve great success in their future endeavors,” Fisher said.
Lydia’s Bridge Sidewalk Project up for an award
By CarOl BrOOKs freeLAnce Writer cab1hp@gmail.com
One aim of the Town of Jamestown leaders is to have a walkable town. That includes connectivity of neighborhoods, even those on the other side of the railroad tracks.
In recent years, neighborhoods and schools on the east side of the railroad have been opened up due the creation of the Lydia’s Bridge tunnel. Now, Yorkleigh residents have a safe way to walk and connect with downtown Jamestown.
The recent completion of the East Main Street sidewalk connection to Lydia’s Bridge tunnel has added even more opportunity for walking. It is the complete project that has been nominated for a North Carolina Department of Transportation Mobi Award.
Three local projects are entered for the Mobi Award. Greensboro has the other two entries: the Horse Pen Creek Road
Reconstruction Project and the Greensboro Transit Agency’s Route One Crossmax Purple.
“It’s great that they considered our project,” Jamestown Public Services Director Paul Blanchard told Fox8. “Our project is a sidewalk along a state-maintained road. It connects the core of town to some neighborhoods [and] gets us over to Ragsdale High School.”
An upcoming extension project will connect to Millis Road Elementary School and to GTCC.
“There are a lot of good projects out there. It’s really interesting to see what some communities were doing trying to get connectivity — these are typically pedestrian and bicycle projects — and the challenges that other towns have.”
Mobi projects are multimodal ones using at least two modes of transportation, including pedestrian, bicycle, railroad, streets, etc. Greenways, streetscapes and

Wyndham championship returns to Sedgefield
By CarOl BrOOKs freeLAnce Writer cab1hp@gmail.com
The Wyndham Championship may not be as big a golf tournament as the Masters but it certainly has a place of importance. It is the final tournament where golfers near the cut line will be able to win their place in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
The tournament returns to Sedgefield Country Club Aug. 8-11.
Sedgefield has seen its share of golf tournaments over the years.
The Greater Greensboro Open began there in 1938 before moving
to Forest Oaks Country Club in 1977, then returning in 2008. The course and community were built for such an event. It is the seventh oldest event on the PGA Tour.
History
“The story of Sedgefield — its golf course of superlative excellence, its natural beauty, its picturesque layout, and its uniqueness as a development — has been carried through the eastern states by those who have visited Sedgefield, and have seen what is there.” So reads the flowery words of

Somewhere the sun was shining
Well, no one has beaten down my email door to tell me about the wonderful outdoor dining they did on July 20. Perhaps that is because the Jamestown area was besieged with rain that evening.
When I left home to run an errand in the late afternoon it was raining, but when I came out of the store there was a downpour. I could barely see the road to drive and had to pull into the parking lot of a nearby shopping center to wait for a break in the “extremely” wet weather.

Notes from Norma
to identify the most perfect evening of summer for an outdoor meal in each state and its prediction for North Carolina was July 20. Not sure about the rest of the state, but for Jamestown, dining outside that evening was a wash. I hope no one’s outdoor plans were affected by the rain, but I’m sure the gardeners appreciated it. I could almost hear the potted plants on my front porch giving a sigh of relief.
or from a computer.
Exercising my brain
I like creative people. I enjoy seeing their creativity expressed in writing, acting, comedy, music and even commercials. But with Artificial Intelligence (AI) becoming more prevalent, it is hard to know what is produced from someone’s mind
that computers may overtake human knowledge and rule the world.
— I plan to continue to use my brain and not AI.
Someone recently asked if I would consider using AI in my writing. The problem as I see it is not so much in the final content as in its making. AI appears to be reducing the use of one’s brain. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain needs to be stimulated to continue to be useful. “Use it or lose it,” as the old saying goes, applies not only to the body, but to the brain as well. Reports indicate that AI is continuing to get smarter on its own from all the information that is fed into it. There is even some concern
I don’t know about that, but I do know I’m not planning to use AI in any writing I produce. Oh, I will use spell check and the thesaurus on my computer, but otherwise, what you see is me.
I’m sure that anything I say or write will not sound as knowledgeable or as eloquent as AI could create. But I’m hopeful the thought process that goes into it just might keep my mind from shriveling up and dying. Although some people could contend I should probably exercise my brain a bit more based on what comes out of it. I will not argue with that. But you can keep the artificial stuff. Sharing ideas is fun; anyone heard of Pinterest? However, I will choose to use my own bit of intelligence for what I write and for whatever it creates — be it good, bad or awful
Birth theory
Through the years I have come up with a theory that more people are born on odd days then even. At least that is the case in my family. Of the five people in my immediate family, I am the only one born on an even day and seven of my 10 grandchildren were born on odd days.
In my sister’s family four out of five were born on odd days. Of course, this small number is not enough to scientifically test a theory, but it is a start. Anybody want to help prove or disprove my theory? Even if you do not respond to me, I imagine this idea made you stop and think.

The goal of the Citizen’s Academy is to improve law enforcement community relations through education. Through attendance and participation in the Sheriff’s Citizen Academy citizens will be able to make more informed judgments about the sheriff’s office and law enforcement activities. The sheriff’s office itself will become more aware of the feelings and concerns of the community, as expressed by those attending.
Additionally, according to the website, citizens and sheriff’s representatives will have an opportunity to explore together some of the traditional suspicions and misconceptions generally harbored by both citizens and sheriff’s deputies. Through open discussion of such suspicions and misconceptions, a more harmonious climate for relationships may be established.
Classes will be held at the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, 400 W. Washington St., Greensboro, in the Training Classroom. Labs will be held at various locations.

History
The Town erected an historical marker on May 5, 2023, at one entrance to Lydia’s Tunnel in recognition of one of Jamestown’s most famous “personages.” The old graffiti-covered tunnel had been cleaned up, painted, landscaped and, with the addition of sidewalks, it is now a tourist attraction.

Lydia’s story goes like this: Lydia appears from time to time on a rainy night looking for a ride home following a car accident at the old underpass. When the driver takes her to the address, he turns to her in the back seat — but she is not there. After knocking on the door of the house, he (it is usually a man who picks her up) learns the daughter of the house died several years ago.
You can vote
There are several categories where a panel of judges will choose winners but community support is vital.

One of the great joys of summertime for many North Carolina families is a drive to the Sandhills to visit one of the roadside peach stands that dot the region.
From the Front
Summertime North Carolina Peaches
By d.g.
The well-drained Sandhills provide for peach trees what the California Napa Valley does for grape vines. When the peach blossoms survive the late winter frosts and when spring and early summer bring the right amount of rain, it is hard to find anything that tastes better than a Sandhills peach.
Even a perfect peach has to be picked and eaten at the right time. Peaches are temperamental. A just-picked, fully ripened peach can taste better than the
a real estate ad, possibly in 1925, for the new community of Sedgefield. This “superlative” golf course, located in the exclusive neighborhood, is once again hosting one of the oldest consecutively played golf tournaments in the United States.
The Sedgefield neighborhood was planned as a resort destination for wealthy northerners as well as a retreat from city life in North Carolina. But initial plans for a residential community surrounding golf, hunting and horse areas was slow in coming.
In 1928, the old Salisbury Road, also known as the Greensboro-High Point Boulevard (now High Point Road), was said to be the most heavily traveled road in the state, according to a 1999 newspaper article by preservationist Benjamin Briggs. Its history traces back to an Indian trading route between North Carolina and Virginia, later becoming the old Salisbury Stagecoach Road, used as a vacation route from northern states to the south.
John Blackwell Cobb of New York, vice-president of the American Tobacco Company (now Reynolds American) purchased the property from the Armfield family. He named the property after the abundant sedge plants in the fields. He called his large home (no longer standing) the Manor.
Armfield used the land as a hunting preserve, inviting his wealthy New York friends down for relaxation. Proximity to the railroad made travel convenient. An old ad for the residential community shows a train route, leaving New York City at 8:40 p.m. and arriving in Greensboro at 9:35 a.m., just an overnight trip. Undoubtedly many stopped at the old Jamestown depot for the short ride to the resort.
Prominent names came to Sedgefield to hunt quail and pheasant, people like Brokaw, Mackay, Gould and Morgan.
Cobb died in 1923 and most of the property sold for $550,000 to Greensboro businessmen Alexander W. McAlister and Alfred M. Scales. McAlister was president of Pilot Life Insurance and Scales was a real estate executive. They called their new 3,660-acre venture Sedgefield, Inc.
The purchase price was, at the time, the largest price ever recorded in Guilford County.
The men wanted to build an exclusive residential subdivision. Ads by Sedgefield Inc./Southern Real Estate Co. promoted the
most elegant dessert at a five-star restaurant. But peaches do not age well. A perfectly delicious, fully ripe peach is right on the edge of disaster. Deterioration and decay begin almost immediately. The best peach will not be as good after a few hours, and it can be a mushy mess of decay in a few days or less.
Peaches don’t travel well either. Ripe ones bruise easily. Temperature variations and the lapse of time make the peach less and less appealing every minute after it leaves the tree.
So the best way for a North Carolina family to get a bite of a most delicious peach is to buy a ripe one right after it is picked.
The temperamental peach can sometimes drive a peach farmer crazy as he tries to manage the timing of its growth and harvest. But its nature is also a godsend for the Sandhill growers. It is this temperamental nature that keeps families driving down to the Sandhills to experience the perfect peach taste that is available only close to the source.
Over the last few years, many North Carolina small farmers found that they can no longer compete with the larger operations. As much as they love farming and farm life, many have had to find other lines of work.
Sandhills peach farmers face some of the same challenges. But, as a result of the peach’s temperamental quality, freshly picked peaches sold by the orchard own-
“delightful breeze,” scenic beauties, lake, golf, tennis, 20 miles of bridle paths and lack of crowding in the city. It was to be “the biggest resort and playground project in the entire Piedmont region” as well as “the largest real estate venture ever projected in the Piedmont section of North Carolina.” It was one of the first rural areas to receive city water, electric power and phone service — even a school, according to one report. A planned shopping area never materialized.
Original plans show a larger neighborhood than currently exists, extending north across High Point Road, east toward Greensboro and even lots where Adams Farm Shopping Center is today.
Home sites along the highway were offered in 1924, but those around the golf course were not available until the course was completed. “But sites for homes are now available on the west side of the highway,” stated a 1924 brochure. “There are 75 of these lots, varying in size from an acre to two acres.”
Lots averaged $3,000 per acre, with a 25 percent discount if the purchaser became a charter member of the country club.
“Every deed will carry restrictions for the protection of purchasers, governing the character of buildings to be erected, use to be made of property, regulations as to sanitation and health.” Standards have changed somewhat. Imagine today’s Sedgefield with vegetable gardens, fruit orchards, poultry houses and dog kennels.
The community even included its own dairy, featuring Sedgefield Golden Guernsey milk and cream. The milk was marketed as containing “a remarkably higher food value than ordinary milk. … Golden Guernsey Milk relieves the necessity of having to force the child to drink his milk.”
By
1932 McAlister’s Pilot Life Insurance Company had built its headquarters in Sedgefield, across the street from the main neighborhood. The prop -
erty is being developed for retirement living.
The course
Sedgefield, Inc. hired “the foremost golf course architect in the country,” Scotsman and Pinehurst resident Donald Ross, to design two 18-hole courses. Only one course, Valley Brook which featured grass greens, was completed and it opened as Sedgefield Country Club on Oct. 24, 1925, making it one of the oldest country clubs in North Carolina. Two holes of the Lake Links Course were built, one where the driving range is today and the other ending at the current tennis center, but they were abandoned.
With no land-clearing machinery in existence, all the trees were felled by hand and stumps removed by hand and mules. Mule teams dragged a sled or plane to level the fairways.
“Grass putting greens will be used in spring, summer and fall, and in winter will be sanded,” states the brochure. Greens fees in 1939 were $1.50 weekdays and $2 Sundays.
Opening day saw trick golfer Joe Kirkwood and Watts Gunn, runner-up to famed Bobby Jones in the recent national amateur tournament playing Andy Gray, Sedgefield professional, and Tully (last name unknown), an amateur from Greensboro. The PGA of the Carolinas played a match with the winner receiving $400. Area club players and ladies played other rounds. Designer Donald Ross was not able to attend.
The original caddy shack is still beside the clubhouse.
Hotel At the time the course opened, there were no homes in the new development. Visitors were able to stay in the new Sedgefield Continental Hotel after it opened in 1927, billed as the finest resort hotel (or inn) between New York and Florida.
The hotel was run as a separate business from the country club, but patrons
ers directly to consumers are worth much more than those sold before they are ripe to large wholesalers and grocery store chains.
This phenomenon helps explain why North Carolina peach farmers have resisted the pressures of consolidation longer than most small farmers.
Since it is better to buy peaches as close to the source as possible, small orchards can make more money selling directly at their roadside stands than they can by selling large quantities to wholesalers.
Thankfully, there are still plenty of these family-run orchards in the Sandhills, where we can buy those precious peaches from the same people who grow them.

is on the west side of the bridge across the Pee Dee River between Wadesboro and Rockingham.
(Don’t miss the fresh peach ice cream that Greene’s family makes on the spot.)
Greene is just one of a proud group of Sandhills peach farmers.
“There are lots of others you should mention, lots of other good peach growers around here.” Greene’s friend and fellow peach grower, the late beloved Watts Auman told me. “We are like a big clan. And the truth is, all Sandhills peaches are almost always real good, if you get them fresh and ripe

had golf privileges. The Sedgefield Country Club occupied the ground floor, which also featured a grill room, locker room, and club rooms. The Manor House, J.B. Cobb’s original home, was across the street and provided a ballroom and convention hall capable of seating 1,000.
Crash and recovery
Then came the Stock Market Crash of 1929. Sedgefield, Inc. went bankrupt and Pilot Life Insurance was left with the mortgage. Few houses had been built even as late as 1938, recalled long-time resident Claude Sutton in an article in the June 10, 1982, Jamestown News. He and his wife had built the first single-family house in the community.
Several country and seasonal homes had been erected, according to a Sedgefield brochure dated 1932. The history of Sedgefield Country Club, compiled by David H. Bryan in 2001, quotes a 1925 ad that said 35 people had already purchased lots.
Another interesting side note shows that the Army Air Corps took over the inn from 1942-45 and used it as command quarters for the Personnel Distribution Command, an embarkation center for soldiers assigned overseas. Officers slept in the inn and worked at their offices on the Pilot Life Insurance grounds across High Point Road. The economy recovered and by 1954, the subdivision boasted around 40 homes, Sutton added.
Sedgefield Country Club purchased the inn in 1967 and moved their headquarters there, making the English Tudor building the clubhouse. Renovations in 1992 turned the upstairs into an office area and men’s locker room.
Today Today, hundreds of homes grace the wooded neighborhood, many lining the remodeled 18-hole golf course, again home to a PGA tournament. The bridle trails are gone, as is the hunt club and stables, but the winding streets, named after North Carolina counties, still evoke the feeling of a special community. McAlister and Scales would be proud of what their vision has become.
