Bypass construction well underway BY CAROL BROOKS freelaNce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

It’s begun. Motorists have noticed that construction of the Jamestown Bypass is underway, and has been for several months, most noticeably along Dillon, Oakdale and Harvey roads. Now clearing is taking place on Vickrey Chapel Road where the 3.5mile bypass will intersect with Jamestown Parkway,

the Greensboro, or B, segment of project U-2412. It will join I-74/Hwy. 311 near the Five Points area in High Point. The estimated cost is over $48 million. The most dramatic section is along Dillon Road. Traveling north, the cleared section shows a decidedly downhill slope to the Riverwalk Townhomes. Riverwalk owners have had several meetings with the DOT because the bypass will directly impact their

community, with a planned traffic light at Dillon Road very close to the entrances to both the townhomes and condominiums, among other changes. At the most recent meeting, in March, major concerns were the closeness of the new road to their homes, home values, compensation for possible damage, construction noise and dirt, loss of common Photo by Carol Brooks areas, extra traffic and dif- The view from the southern end of Misty Waters Lane in the Riverwalk Townhomes subdivision, is now a huge wall of dirt as ground is leveled for construction of the See BYpASS, Page 3 Jamestown Bypass.

Rain does not deter guests at Holiday Tour of Homes

The fifth annual Holiday Tour of Homes, sponsored by Sedgefield Colony Garden Club, proved to be a success despite the fact it was delayed a week by 12-plus inches of snow and hindered on the day of the tour by rain. Torrential rain Dec. 20 may have damped bodies, but not the spirit of the occasion. As guests traveled from one home to another, they were warmed by the festive holiday decorations, cheery fires in fireplaces and the smiling faces of garden club members. Homes in the tour included those of Mr. and Mrs. Donnis Corn and Mr. and Mrs. Todd Gillenwater. “We knew Sedgefield has some Photos by Norma B. Dennis older homes and wanted to see if In spite of dreary weather on the day of the Sedgefield Colony Garden we could get ideas for renovations,” Club’s Holiday Tour of Home, the smiling faces of club members and said Carolyn Swaim, who came beautifully decorated houses made the tour a happy occasion. pictured from left are Sedgefield Colony Garden Club Member Kathy Benson, homeowner Brandy Gillenwater and her son Trent Gillenwater.

Statistics are not yet available for the year 2018. Jamestown Mayor Lynn Montgomery attended a program in September about the state of the opioid crisis in North Carolina. One of the speakers, Jim Albright, director of Guilford County Emergency Services, discussed the collection of old, unused medications and Montgomery’s first reaction was to find out if there was a place in Jamestown where drugs could be taken when no longer needed. Although this area sponsored an annual collection, according to Capt. David Pruitt of the District III Sheriff’s Office, the Jamestown office had no permanent collection site like the other two districts. Pruitt determined to learn why. The biggest program was the small lobby at the Jamestown office that did not allow room for a collection box. “We decided to make a place for a box,” Pruitt said. “As of December, a box has been bolted into place in another part of the office and a sign (telling what not to include) installed above it. We do not take the drugs from people, but watch them place what they bring into the box. “To have a place to get rid of drugs when they are no longer needed is important,” he added. “Most people do not lock up their medicines and anyone, including kids, neighbors or guests could get to them. Access can be the start of addiction.” See DROp BOx, Page 3

What color is your underwear? If you have on red or gold/yellow undies, you can join the residents of Central and South American countries in a special celebration on New Year’s Eve. Red symbolizes love in the new year and yellow or gold is thought to bring money to the wearer. Green undies signify health and wellbeing while your tighty-whities bring prosperity and success. That money might be used in Denmark to purchase new dishes and plates, following the Danes’ custom of shattering such items against the doors of their friends and families on New Year’s Eve.

Performance and Play: Pioneering a new Method of Learning in Lloyd international Honors College By nils skudra In the contemporary world of academia and the job market, there is a widespread perception that studying and work are not something to have fun with; they are things you just have to do in order to achieve success. But at Lloyd International Honors College of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Dean Omar Ali and his ‘ensemble’ (professional staff, comprising a budget and operations manager, an administrative assistant, two assistant deans, and four academic advisors) are creating a new kind of performative culture which challenges this prevailing assumption. Drawing upon the work of the developmental psychologist and educator Dr. Lois Holzman, currently serving as a Distinguished Visiting Fellow, they intentionally perform and play both as a means of instruction for Honors College students and as a guiding method for their respective job roles. The idea of ‘performing’ is applied in the curriculum, in extracurricular activities, and during the day-to-day work of running the Honors College—as during weekly ‘ensemble’ meetings in which Dean Ali and his staff discuss the work of the Honors College. In all these spaces, they infuse the improv theatre technique of “yes, and” to cultivate an open and playful working and learning environment. The method is simple: acknowledge and accept ‘offers’ (what people say or do) and build on these positively. In doing this, the Honors College is redefining commonly held notions about how we learn, grow, study, and work, providing both students and staff with a new lens into how they approach their respective roles and what they bring to those roles. For some of the staff Max Kendall Lumber & Tin members, performance as part of the job hasNC been an Stokesdale, 9mi.

We can be intentional in our actions. We can choose to be present, or not. We can try new ways of being, even if we are not all, as Ms. Dunston-Stacey is, a ‘people-person.’ The Honors ensemble will often play games at the start of meetings as a way of practicing being deliberate at yes-anding each other, having fun together, and building connectivity. An example would be the ‘oneword story game,’ in which an individual adds onto the sentence with one word initiated by the previous person next to them, followed by the next staff member, creating a story together on a given subject. Another such game is the ‘questions game,’ in which participants, one at a time, go around, asking a question about a given subject while building on what the person next to them asked. These various games help to create an open and creative atmosphere. For Professor Spoma Jovanovic, who teaches in the Department of Communication Studies and offers an Honors seminar, the task of higher education “is to

solve the world’s problems,” and therefore “I take seriously the things that I teach, and the ways in which I interact with students are really to better prepare them to tackle the complexities of the world in which we are all living.” She considers this pertinent to the current cultural atmosphere in the United States since, she maintains, “I’m worried that students are growing up in a culture where standing back and not participating is seen as okay… I feel that we need to teach democracy since it doesn’t really exist in our public sphere too much.” For Professor Jovanovic, having conversations is a kind of performance, and one that is much needed at this moment in the nation’s history. Another Honors faculty member, Professor Nadja Cech, from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, reflects that “the context in which my students learn is critical for their ability to engage effectively with content.” She notes that “[s]ometimes we play games related to chemistry, such as chemistry charades, where some of us act out a complicated chemistry term (such as ‘spectrophotometry’) and the rest of us attempt to guess what it is.” Such game-playing helps to create a culture in her classrooms and labs where scientists-in-the making build a sense of community and get some laughs in. “Any activity that allows us to connect with each other is relevant to the subject,” she maintains, “because the human relationships are as important to the learning process

as is the subject matter.” Dean Ali, who teaches history and was selected in 2016 as the Carnegie Foundation North Carolina Professor of the Year, echoes Professor Cech’s sentiment. “What is the sense of having a classroom if we don’t connect with each other?,” he asks. “‘Yes-and’ helps us do this … by focusing on and building our relationships with students and the class as a whole, we are ever-more effective in helping students stretch and learn,” Ali notes. He concludes, “I’m an environmentalist, and not just the tree-hugging kind! I’m talking about being attentive to social environments. To the extent we attend to social relationships and building classroom environments where students can take intellectual risks, which can sometimes be hard emotionally, we support our students develop and grow in all kinds of ways.” With respect to the effectiveness of performance in the classroom, many faculty and students of the Honors College regard it as highly beneficial to the process of learning and discovery. As Dr. Cech notes, the practice of chemistry involves a degree of play and impro-

visation—that is, students ‘performing’ as scientists, as well as the activity of experimentation, which is inherent to the scientific process. “Successful chemistry experiments require creativity and a willingness to follow up on scientific curiosity,” she maintains. “When doing chemistry research, we’re often doing something that’s never been done before. It’s important to allow for failure in this process. You can’t be afraid to try because the experiment may fail, you try it anyway. In essence, this is a type of improvisation.” Honors College students recognize the effectiveness of performance in their academic and work lives. Honors student Samaya Roary, who also works and serves as UNC Greensboro Student Body President, states that sometimes she has to show up at meetings when she is tired or feels underqualified, but she knows that she must step into the role and be confident. “Performance plays a role in my life because it’s very de-stressing to realize that at the end of the day it’s just a play, we’re all figuring it out together… and to know that we’re all going through this ‘performance of life’ can be very reassuring,

especially because college can get very stressful.” She recognizes that performance can be a challenge as well because it is something she is “constantly growing in.” As a word of advice to students, she states: “Go outside of your comfort zone, try something new and do something different. See if you like it… Be willing to learn from others that you might not consider quoteunquote ‘experts.’ You might be surprised!” In conclusion, the concept of performance has been highly instructive and beneficial as a teaching and work tool for students, faculty, and staff in the Honors College, and in a wide variety of ways. After all, their motto is “Ludite, Explorate, Perficite!” (“Play, Experiment, Perform!”), as Assistant Dean Dr. Rebecca Muich, a classical philologist helped to create two years ago with the support of the university’s provost, Dr. Dana Dunn. As a form of pedagogy, performance enables faculty to engage students and encourage their participation; as a workplace tool, it provides staff members with creative skills for dealing with moments of pressure and administrative challenges; and for Honors College students, the practice of performance has proven to be a vital asset. In Roary’s view, performance equips students with the academic, social, and professional development skills that are necessary for their success as they move from university into their careers.

Although vendors were new to the tour, Sedgefield Colony Garden Club members also conducted their traditional bake sale and craft sale to help raise funds for the charities the club is supporting with the 2018 home tour fundraiser. Proceeds will be divided between two organizations. One is Sedgefield Presbyterian Church’s Angel Tree, a ministry that supports children and families from Sedgefield Elementary School at Christmas. Funds will also be used for the Alight Program at Cone Health, which provides educational materials, emergency funds, peer monitoring and outreach offered to breast cancer patients and their families.

ficulty getting in or out of their community with the new traffic light on Dillon Road, which will be widened to allow a turn lane. With an estimated 30,000 vehicles on the new 45 mph four-lane divided bypass, noise is certain to be a problem and residents are hoping new plans include noise abatement walls. It appears 17 townhomes on the west side of Dillon Road and 18 single-family homes on the east side will be impacted by the new roadway and accompanying widening of Dillon Road at the intersection, mostly by DOT right of way into the common areas of the developments. There are 49 units in the Riverwalk community and some will back up to the new road and widening. Residents along the route of the bypass will have to contend with approximately three years of work. When the Riverwalk communities were constructed approximately 20 years ago, new owners – and subsequent owners – were informed about the bypass plans. Talk of the Jamestown Bypass (U-2412-A) began in the 1980s, heated up in the early 1900s, but stalled because of funding disagreements between Jamestown, Greensboro and High Point. Interest picked up again in the early 2000s, with initial construction to start in 2030.

In March of 2018, the county began the Guilford County Solution to the Opioid Problem (GCSTOP). Funding from the State General Assembly has been used to implement a Rapid Response Team (RRT) that helps prevent repeat overdoses. The program serves people at high risk of overdosing or opioid-related deaths by counseling persistent users to enter treatment or reduce harmful drug-related practices. They provide a syringe exchange, harm-reduction training and community overdose education. A member of the RRT – which includes social workers, peer support specials and law enforcement personnel – contact those who have experienced an overdose within one-three days. They provide information about available services to help with future opioid-related problems, as well as connect people to these services.

The program’s goal is to reduce opioid overdose deaths. On Dec. 19, during the annual Celebration of Life tree-lighting ceremony outside the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office in Greensboro, names listed included those who lost their lives due to opioid overdose. “We have had the tree-lighting ceremony for several years to honor those who lost their lives because of traffic accidents, but this year Sheriff (Danny) Rogers expanded it to remember those killed by domestic violence and addition,” Pruitt said. “Each light on this year’s tree represents a life lost in 2017.” The sheriff’s office requests that individuals help reduce access to unused drugs by disposing of them properly. Residents in Jamestown and surrounding areas can now take unused medications to the District III Sheriff’s Office at 211 Hillstone Drive from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Never before has a former FBI director boasted about taking advantage of an administration’s disorganization for his own ends. But never before has a former FBI director been as self-satisfied as James Brien Comey Jr. In an interview at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, Comey delighted his audience with his tale of how he exploited the Trump White House’s disarray in its initial days to send two FBI agents to talk to then-national security adviser Michael Flynn without honoring the usual processes (e.g., working through the White House counsel’s office). He said that in a different administration, it was “something I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with.” Comey is a bigger political figure than ever before, but has revealed himself to be exactly what critics always said — a politically savvy operator who matches his bureaucratic skills with an impregnable sense of self-righteousness. The conundrum of James Comey was that he deserved to be fired, but firing him — certainly the way Trump did it — was the worst mistake of Trump’s presidency. It would have been better to have Comey inside the tent leaking and maneuvering for his own advantage, than to have him outside leaking and maneuvering for his own advantage. Comey is a smart and capable man. In many ways, he was a good FBI director. His fault was always being too clever by half and keeping too keen an eye out for his own image and political interest. He bent over backward to get to the conclusion that President Barack Obama and his Justice Department wanted in the Clinton email investigation, then decided

to speak out lest people think his decision was politically tainted. Comey thus ignored the law in the Clinton case, and ignored Justice Department rules in talking about it. After Trump fired him, Comey gave one of his memos to a friend so he could share its contents with The New York Times in the hopes that it would catalyze the appointment of a special counsel. Sure enough, we got a special counsel. A special-counsel probe is an act of punishment against any administration subjected to it. It will cause distraction, legal fees and heartache — in the best case. A practiced Washington player, Comey knew all of this. That he’s so deft makes his slipperiness about inconvenient matters related to the investigation all the more telling. Consider a little item from Comey’s recent congressional questioning. Thenchief of staff Reince Priebus asked Comey if a conversation they were about to have was private. Comey said it was, despite the fact that he would write a memo about their talk, and it would — of course — make it into the press. Comey is acting under extreme provocation when he blasts Trump and calls for his defeat, but seems unaware that his pronouncements as a private citizen cast a pall over his public service when he wielded some of the most sensitive powers of government. None of Trump’s attacks on Comey has been as damning as the supposedly by-thebook FBI director admitting he did an end run around process in the Flynn interview, and soaking up laughter and applause for it.

3 moves you can make to be more patient in 2019 With just a little effort, you can find more balance in life “Accepting your reality in that frustrating moment comes with being kind to yourself.” For instance, when her car was blocked in, Sanders accepted her situation and took the time to decide what was best for her. It didn’t mean stomping from store to store to find out the driver in question, but rather choosing to sit and enjoy the moment of stillness she had.

novant health Grace Sanders was returning to her car in a parking lot recently and could hardly believe what she saw. Another driver had blocked her in and left. She was stuck. And she was furious. How long was she going to be stuck here? Sanders, 55, is a psychotherapist who spends her days helping others to control their emotions and roll with the punches. And yet here she was, seething. “I panicked at first because I felt completely trapped,” Sanders said. But her next move is one we can all learn from. “This moment turned into an opportunity for taking a deep breath,” said Sanders, who counsels patients at Novant Health Midtown Family Medicine. So she sat in her car, turned on some music and waited it out until she could drive off. But if a professional like Sanders with 25 years of experience struggles with patience now and then, do the rest of us stand a chance? The answer, she said, is yes. She joins a crowd of philosophers, religious leaders, and scientists who all say

Grace sanders that there are many benefits to slowing down. Here’s her advice for maintaining your balance and happiness when we’ve grown accustomed to demanding and rewarding instant gratification in every corner of our lives. 1. Focus on yourself instead of others When you find yourself in frustrating situations that push your buttons, one helpful way to practice patience is to ask yourself, “How can I take a breath, right now?” Often, taking just a moment is the best form of self-care. And patience, she said, is a lot about what you don’t do in the moment. “It’s so easy to worry about others and get caught up with” the urge to respond or lash out, Sanders said.

2. Remind yourself that patience is a habit Some things in life just aren’t worth rushing through. If you scan through some of the happiest memories you’ve had, for instance, it becomes clear that a lot of valuable moments have taken time. “The world around us has ushered us into cultivating a culture of consumers who are constantly looking for meaning in life, yet we are encouraged to become shallow consumers of information,” Sanders said. That Netflix show you enjoyed, for instance? It took months, if not years to create. If one thing we know, a lot of our favorite things and experiences have taken a while to make. When you understand that life is worth enjoy-

ing and slowing down for, you’re already on the right path to becoming more patient. Once you start practicing, you’ll develop new habits and leave the old ones behind. 3. Smartphone apps can help If you’d like to consistently to practice patience, consider trying apps that help you slow down. There are many free or low-cost meditation apps you can download and start using. Even the act of taking the time out of your busy day to listen to a guided meditation is one way of practicing patience. “I recommend to my clients that when they feel overwhelmed in public they can always reach for their pocket and tune into apps with soothing music and calming voices that can help you slow down and regain control,” Sanders said. The bottom line: Most of us are impatient, but there’s hope for everyone who wants to make it a practice, Sanders said. “Just remind yourself to be patient with being patient — everything takes time,” Sanders said with a smile. The payoff, she said, is that you’ll be a happier person.

Rare cardiomyopathy ends football season By keith roach, M.d. to your good health DEAR DR. ROACH: My 18-year-old grandson has just been informed that he has left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy. He has been VERY active his whole life, playing football, baseball, basketball and soccer all through high school. He had no symptoms. This was found when getting a physical for college, where he was supposed to play football, and he has been told that is now out of the question. The doctors are saying it’s a very rare condition, and they want to put in a defibrillator ASAP. — Anon. DEAR ANON.: Left ventricular noncompaction is a cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle) that is rarely diagnosed, but it probably has been under-recognized. It can run in families, so it’s recommended to examine relatives for the condition. It is diagnosed by echocardiogram, and some cases can be identified through genetic analysis. LVNC can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias and stroke. There is no specific treatment for LVNC, so people with the condition are treated for the manifestations of their disease. For people with heart failure, this means they are treated with the appropriate medications, which hopefully will prevent or at least slow down any damage to the heart. Management also can include an automated internal cardiac defibrillator (AICD) if the heart muscle is seriously weakened. People with LVNC and a history of serious arrhythmias should get an AICD as well. Since arrhythmias are very common in LVNC, AICDs may be used more frequently than with other causes of heart failure. Also, it is likely that your grandson’s doctor has more expertise than I in managing this condition, and certainly has more knowledge about his heart, so I would take the recommendation for AICD very seriously. It is strongly recommended he avoid competitive endurance sports and weightlifting. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.
