walk to end alzheimer’s helps family heal

By no RMA B. denni S FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com

Walking two miles with a medical boot on one foot is not an easy task, but Bert Dawkins was determined to do it. He, six other fam ily members and several friends chose to participate in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s, held this year on Oct. 15 at LaBauer Park in Greensboro.

The group walked to honor Dawkins’ mother Heddie Dawkins, who lost her life after accidently lock ing herself out of her home, wandering away and not

being able to find her way back.

“I just found out about the walk from my aunt five days before it was held so we did not have much time to organize and raise funds,” Dawkins said. “We called ourselves Miss Heddie’s Kids and my daughter, Por sha Titus, designed shirts for us to wear — dark purple for the men and a lighter purple for the women. Purple was my mother’s favorite color. It was only after we got to the walk that we learned pur ple is the official color of the Alzheimer’s Association.”

Dawkins noted that the Alzheimer’s walk was amaz

ing. The weather was beauti ful, but the number of people participating also showed the gravity of how many people are affected by Alzheimer’s.

“The walk was perfect tim ing for me,” Dawkins added. “I wanted to do something to keep my mind off my mother’ death and to help others. This was therapeutic and also was helping to keep Mom’s memory alive.”

Dawkins knew about Alzheimer’s and people who had it, but was never directly affected by it until his moth er was diagnosed with the disease.

Threat of rain fails to halt flag raising

By no RMA B. denni S FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com

There were no uniformed JROTC members to raise the flag to the top of the flagpole, no crowd to watch it unfurl in the breeze, no special guest speaker to honor the veterans. But there was also no lack of patriotism on Veterans Day in Jamestown.

Due to extremely inclement weather predicted for the area, members of the Jamestown Vet erans Committee, who sponsor special ceremonies at Wrenn Miller Park for all patriotic occasions, made the decision on Wednesday to cancel the Nov. 11 ceremony. On Thursday, the group’s board decided to raise the flag in spite of the weather.

Although rain occurred earlier Friday morning and later in the day, skies proved to be sunny at the time of the flag raising.

At 11 a.m., surrounded by flags placed around the park by the Jamestown Lion’s Club in honor of Veterans Day, Art Wise and Bruce Dillon unfolded a flag and slowly raised it up the pole for everyone passing to see. Once it was secured they recited the Pledge of Alliance.

“This flag is special,” Wise said. “It was one given to Jean Dore when her husband Jim passed away. She loaned it to us to use for the ceremony.”

Jim was a green beret in the United States Army Special Forces and one of the original members of the Jamestown Vet erans Committee.

William Stokely stood alone

to one side and watched as the flag was raised. He did not see action in Vietnam, but served in the Army for two years during that era. He had not heard that the ceremony had been canceled and walked from his home — umbrella in hand in case needed — to attend the event.

“I used to live in Jamestown, but moved away for a while,” he said. “I moved back about eight months ago and wanted to come out today in honor of all veterans.”

Just as the flag reached the

top, another man arrived at the Veteran’s Memorial, disap pointed to find the ceremony had been canceled. After the others left, he stood, looking up at the flag, pondering his days of military service as a very young man and admitting to another observer his thankfulness to live in America.

(On the Saturday before Veterans Day, members of the Ragsdale JROTC and local Boy Scouts placed 3,200 small flags on the graves of veterans at Guilford Memorial Cemetery.)

Finding unknown ancestors

By CAR ol BR ook S FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com

An email I received a few months ago opened up a world I never knew existed.

I’ve been interested in genealogy for many years. I have ancestor charts from both parents and family group sheets for individu al families. Notebooks for each grandparent surname are filled. Some research I have done myself and some came from family members. If you join, websites like FamilySearch and Ancestry often send emails relating to information found about family members.

Throughout my life, I’ve visited my mother’s aunts, uncles and cousins in Win ston-Salem, where many

New meeting area, offices, open at Park

By CAR ol BR ook S FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com

Construction may be continu ing on the swimming pool area at High Point City Lake Park, but the new meeting and event center is now open. Seeing the need for an indoor multi-purpose activity space at the Park, the new build ing has assembly space, Parks and Recreation offices with a work area, a kitchen and covered out door deck.

Assembly space will be avail able for rent for community events. Already scheduled is a history of City Lake Park presented by the High Point Historical Society on Nov. 16.

The center replaces the old, underutilized gym constructed in 1961. That building replaced the original 1930s wooden open-air pavilion overlooking the pool.

The gym was the first in the city for the High Point Parks and Recre ation Department but was showing

signs of aging, including, leaking ceilings, no year-round heating/ ventilation/air conditioning, rust ing canopies and lack of access for the disabled, especially in the rest rooms. Among the improvements being made throughout City Lake Park is stricter adherence to the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The open lawn area in front of the building has been transformed into additional parking for easier access to the pool area.

The High Point City Lake Mas ter Plan states, “The gymnasium building has long been a land mark and recognizable structure of the High Point City Lake Park. This interior remodel will repur pose this building into a space that will be used by the Parks and Recreation department and the citizens of High Point for years to come.”

Construction on the Master Plan began June 1, 2021, forcing the closure of the pool for two years. The project is expected to be com pleted prior to the summer of 2023.

Author and veteran share importance of service dogs

By no RMA B. denni S FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com

As a speech pathologist, Katy Torney never considered becoming an author.

“I could never do that,” she thought when encouraged to write a children’s book about an incident involving one of the llamas she raises.

After showing the llama at a church preschool, Torney was returning the ani mal to her van when the llama saw her reflection wearing reindeer antlers in the van window. She got spooked, broke away and ran down the center lane of a nearby road dragging her lead rope. Four police cars that happened to be in the area helped Torney catch the scared animal so she could be returned to safety.

“I would tell people, ‘You would not believe what happened,’ and after hear ing the story they suggested I write a

moved from Wake County. Mom was born in Salem the year before the two cities merged.

My father’s family is from Randolph County and I have attended many family reunions near the Whynot community. I have visited Dad’s sister who moved from New York City to Mis sissippi (culture shock!) then to Louisiana (greater culture shock!) and his brother who lived in Texas.

But I never thought any of my relatives from way back lived in High Point where I grew up and still live — until the email came from in June indicating John Hiatt (c. 1673-1726) and wife Mary Smith (1677-1845) are my immigrant ancestors. The family were members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Eng land and possibly fled to escape persecution in the latter part of the 17th century. Around 1696 they settled in what became Bucks Coun ty, Penn., part of the Wil liam Penn colony and John became one of the leaders of the colony. John Hiatt Jr. came to America with his parents as a three-year-old. The Hiatts were farmers but also landowners. John Sr. is known to have sold 300 acres of land, then bought a 225-acre planta tion. He apparently bought and sold other property in several states over the years.

John Jr. also was a prolific landowner in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia. It is believed that during his lifetime he owned over 3,000 acres of land in Penn

Genealogy research

Anyone doing genealogy research has found that much info on gene alogy websites are incorrect, often saying someone is the grandson of soand-so when he was actually the father or grandfather. One person gets it wrong but posts it online, then others re-post the incorrect information.

A careful check of birth and death dates is important.

It is also confusing when the same names were used for several gen erations. For instance, John would have a son named John and another son named George. George and John Junior would both have sons named John. In my case, there are several generations of Johns, one labeled senior could actually be a junior and the one labeled junior is possibly a third.

Apparently the use of “Sr.” and “Jr.” had different meanings 200 ago. “Jr.” just was a younger man in the area by the same name. It did not imply a familial relationship with a man who had the same name and was labeled “Sr.” However, that could be true. Also, the same man could be called “Jr.” one year and “Sr.” a few years later because of the arrival or departure or death of another man in the same county or the birth of a son by the same Christian name.

I have a fat file for each family I have researched labeled “to check with more information.” Inside are mentions of people with surnames in my ancestry but I have not connected them to my families. I’ve had them so long that every now and then a glance through leads to a visit to the trash bin for the information.

book about it,” Torney said. “Several years later I did write the story in the book What Do Lla mas Do and self pub lished it in 2015.”

It was her second book Boots , however, that sparked the interest of Amanda Massengale, the librarian at Millis Road Elementary School.

“The book tied in perfectly with Veterans Day,” Massengale said. “I thought having Tor ney talk to the students would make a good pro gram.”

Students did not have school on Veterans Day, so the day before found Torney talking to them about writing in gener al and her books spe cially. Fourth and fifth graders gathered in the cafetorium to hear the author, while the rest of the grades enjoyed the program as it was livestreamed into their class rooms.

“If I can write a book, anyone can,” she told the students. “It took about 20 minutes to write the story and two years to get it to the point of publishing.”

sylvania, Virginia and North Carolina.

But Pennsylvania began to be crowded to the Hiatts. They could probably see the smoke from their neighbors’ chimney so they decided to move south, first to Virginia and later in 1756 settled in Rowan County, N.C., a por tion of which became part of Guilford County in 1771.

The book, “John Hiatt, our Immigrant Ancestor, and His Descendents,” by Jeanne Oliphant Guyman, states “In 1757 he purchased 632 acres of land on Deep River near the present town of Jamestown in Guilford County, North Carolina.” A map created by Fred Hughes in 1980 for the Guilford County Historical Society shows the county in detail as it would have been in 1790. Not only are roads, rivers and creeks noted, but so are landowners — includ ing both John Hiatts, senior and junior, with property along the west fork of Deep River. I believe that John Hiatt Sr. and John Hiatt Jr. indicated on the map are the same person as the senior Hiatt had died in 1726. The map indicates a Hiatt mill on Israel’s Creek (Hiatt’s Branch, today nonexistent) and other family members living nearby. Comparing the Hughes map to a cur rent one indicates the prop erty was near where Johnson Street in High Point crosses Oak Hollow Lake, just north of Aberdeen Road. High Point, of course, had not been settled at this time.

Shawn Rogers, director

of Mendenhall Homeplace in Jamestown, helped locate the Hiatt properties. He believes a Nicholite church was located on the property. Oddly, Rogers’ stepfather is also a descendent of the immigrant John Hiatt.

Records show the family joined New Garden Friends Meeting just outside of Greensboro. John Sr. and his wife Mary later became charter members of Deep River Friends, somewhat closer to their home. Their names are recorded in the monthly minutes of those meetings.

John Jr. only stayed in this area about four years. In 1760 he deeded the 632 acres to three of his sons and moved back to Virginia where he again purchased a quantity of land.

I had started my research with John Hiatt Sr.’s infor mation and was able to fol low it through name changes from Hyatt to Hiett to Hiatt down thru the Harrold, Bee son and Moffitt families to my father’s father, Fitzhugh Lee Brooks. My father was actually born in Moffitt’s Mill in Randolph County.

There is still more research to do. While I believe I have found not only my High Point-area relative — albeit he only lived here a few years around 1757 — and traced his lineage back to the 1400s in England and my 12th great grandfather Philip Hyett, there could be errors. But, I’m happy to have found so much infor mation from one small email.

In addition to the author, Torney explained the need for several others to make a book its best. An editor corrects a story and gives it back to the author to rewrite — again and again and again. The illustrator makes a book come alive with pictures that help tell the story. A graphic artist then puts words on the pages paying special attention to avoid the gutter and use appropriate fonts.

Because the book Boots tells of a sol dier dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Torney explained it to the students in simple terms. She noted it could happen to anyone, not just those in the military. Told from a dog’s perspec tive, the story details how different Ella’s person — who she called Boots because he always wore them — was when he returned home from serving in the mili tary. It addresses anger and forgetfulness as well as love and loyalty. Ella becomes trained as a service dog, helping Boots overcome his anxieties.

Torney’s own son, Garret, dealt with PTSD after serving three tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. When he later passed away from injuries sustained in a car accident, Torney, her daughters and several of his friends established the Garret Torney Foundation that provides funds to Saving Grace K9s. The organi zation matches rescue dogs with North Carolina combat veterans at no cost to the veterans. The veteran/dog teams

attend an intensive training program facilitated by Saving Grace K9 trainers. Veterans are taught how to train their own service dogs, which makes training the dogs cost less and allows the veterans and their dogs to bond earlier.

Following Torney’s presentation, Brigette Parsons, founder of Saving Grace K9s, along with Navy veteran CJ McLaughlin and his service dog Po, sur prised students with a visit to the school.

Parsons explained how to act around service dogs if seen while they are work ing. The best thing is to never approach a service dog unless told to do so by the owner.

McLaughlin says he has three children and two dogs (including Po), which also seem like children.

“When I saw a video of Po, I imme diately liked him,” he said. “Now he is near me all the time and has made a tremendous difference in my life. He has calmed me down a lot and I have calmed him down too. I used to be lazy and not want to do anything. Now I have to do things.”

Since it was established in 2017, the Garret Torney Foundation has sponsored 40 veteran/dog teams. Part of Garret’s uniform is on each dog’s service vest.

Torney’s book Boots is dedicated to Garret and proceeds from its sales are donated to Saving Grace K9s.

“I do not plan to write any more books,” Torney said. “I learned my lesson after two, she added, laughing.

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be writing. But it is nice to explore different things.”

Spirited (PG-13)

Diehard Christmas fans no longer have to wait until December to watch new holiday movies, especially with one of the most expected films of the 2022 season out on Nov. 18! Spirited reimagines the well-known tale of A Christmas Carol in a much more modern and grand sense. Ryan Reynolds is none other than Ebenezer Scrooge, while Will Ferrell portrays the Ghost of Christmas Present. Also part of the cast are Octavia Spencer, Sunita Mani and Patrick Page. Full of musical numbers and so many jokes thrown between Fer-

rell and Reynolds, this release will put you right in the Christmas spirit. (AppleTV+)

Falling for Christmas (TV-PG) — Lindsay Lohan (yup, you read that right) is making her return to acting for the first time in more than a decade, starring as Sierra Belmont, a “Paris Hilton” type who loses all memory of herself after a ski accident gone wrong.

Sierra is found by single father and lodge owner Jake (Chord Overstreet), who gives her a place to stay while she waits to be found by her family. The magical circumstances that bring Sierra and Jake together, right in time for

Christmas, put lots of love in the air. Lohan smartly decided to go back to her romantic-comedy roots, which no doubt begs the question of whether her public image will remain a controversy following this release. Out now. (Netflix)

A Christmas Story Christmas (PG) — Releasing Nov. 17, yet another Christmas movie will already be out pre-December for viewers to enjoy. Dubbed as the official legacy sequel to the 1983 film A Christmas Story, Ralphie

Parker (Peter Billingsley) returns from the first film, 30 years later. After the death of the Old Man, the now grown-up Ralphie makes his way back to his former home on Cleveland Street with the intent to give his children a Christmas just like the one he had when he was a kid. Ralphie’s longtime friends Flick and Schwartz also make appearances in the sequel. (HBO Max)

Disenchanted (PG) — Speaking of sequels coming decades after the original, the sequel to the 2007 film Enchanted heads straight to streaming on Nov. 18. A majority of the original cast will reprise

the roles, including Amy Adams as Giselle, Patrick Dempsey as her husband, Robert, James Marsden as King Edward and Idina Menzel as Queen Nancy.

Giselle and Robert move with their now-16-yearold daughter, Morgan, from New York to a suburb called Monroeville, but when the move isn’t going exactly as planned, Giselle gets an ingenious idea just to wish for happiness instead. Unfortunately, when the spell backfires, Giselle is forced to make a plan to save her family and her homeland from demise. (Disney+)

my favorite holiday

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

One reason is that it is a time for lots of plentiful food on the table.

And time to remember favorite people, now gone.

We lost author Randall Kenan last year. I liked his beautiful writing best when he wrote about food when families came together to celebrate or to mourn.

By d.G. MARtin ONE ON ONE

For instance, he edited “Carolina Table,” a beautiful set of essays about food in the south. In that volume, he wrote about the foods that were served at funerals in his home in Duplin County, specifically what his neighbors brought when his great uncle died. “People showing up heavy-laden with food to the homes of the recently deceased. Hams, fried chicken, ovenbaked barbecue chicken, pork chops smothered in gravy, dirty rice, Spanish rice, potato salad galore, slaw, sweet potato casseroles, candied yams, hushpuppies, cornbread, soup, chopped pork barbecue, collard greens, pound cake, chocolate cake, coconut cake, pineapple cake, red velvet cake, sweet potato pie, lemon meringue pie.”

Another author from rural North Carolina who can describe food deliciously is Jason Mott from Columbus County. His latest, “Hell of a Book,” won the National Book Award.

Here is an excerpt from that book in which the parents of a little boy who has hidden himself somewhere in the house try to entice him to reveal himself by cooking his favorite food:

“Before long, the house billowed with the smells and sounds of the boy’s favorite food. The chicken fried in a heavy black skillet and the macaroni bubbled and baked in the oven. There were sugared strawberries, and muscadine grapes, and leftover pound cake that the boy had forgotten was still in the house. Even though he was still hidden, his stomach growled so loudly that he feared it would give him away. But his mother and father didn’t seem to hear and so he was able to continue to sit-even with the hunger in the pit of his stomach-and close his eyes and smell all of the dancing aromas. In that moment, invisible and buried in his parents’ love, he was happier than he had ever been. And soon, in spite of his hunger, he was asleep.”

Our great authors’ descriptions of food remind me how much I love the plentiful delicious food that is prepared and consumed at Thanksgiving.

But there is much more to Thanksgiving than the wonderful food.

4 Wednesday, November 16, 2022 | Jamestown News

What I like even more is the time

we still save just for families and friends. There is, of course, competition for that time. Football games, parades, concerts, and films. But we have to struggle to avoid them or figure out some way to blend them into the family program.

We try to honor Thanksgiving’s central theme of the happy ritual of the family meal. It brings back a time when we sat down together more often, serving each other, passing the food, carving the main dish, saying prayers of thanks, and listening to each other’s stories.

Thanksgiving can be our own private family sacrament of remembrance, reunion, renewal of connections, and thankfulness for life’s blessings.

Of course, some will argue that this idea of Thanksgiving is merely a remnant of times past. They say that, like Christmas, Thanksgiving is becoming a time of selfishness and consumption.

If so, it would be a tragedy.

If this is a trend, let’s fight it.

We can start by remembering the original Thanksgiving and how thankful the Pilgrims were for food and shelter, showing us how much more blessed we are than were the Pilgrims.

As long as thankfulness is at the center of our Thanksgiving, its celebration will be a blessing to us.

D.G. Martin, a lawyer, served as UNC-System’s vice president for public affairs and hosted PBS-NC’s North Carolina Bookwatch

“I noticed a change in my mother about five or six years ago. She always planned family events and trips, booking places to stay or airplane tickets if needed. She slowly began to lose the ability to do that. But it was only in the last two years that she was officially diagnosed.

“Some days you would never know she had it. She was always very smart and humble and she never lost that.”

A favorite memory for Dawkins was the last trip he and his mother took to the Berry Patch in Ellerbe, N.C., a few months before she passed away. It was a mother/son trip they occasional enjoyed together where they talked and sang along the way.

But the disappearance of Heddie Dawkins in August was much bigger than the loss of a family matriarch. Her situation brought a larger community together to search, encourage and grieve the outcome. Hundreds of people — including law enforcement and citizens throughout the local community and beyond — joined forces to search for Heddie in hopes of bringing her safely back to her family. Although the outcome was not what was desired, the family finds comfort in that unity.

“It was overwhelming the amount of love and support everyone showed,” Dawkins said. “My mother’s death brought the community together It is my thing to work to keep the community together. It is not that hard to be nice to one another.”

Last month the Dawkins family presented a plaque to the High Point Police

Department in appreciation for all that was done to help find their loved one and provide them closure.

Dawkins recently learned that a man and woman were riding down a street in High Point when they saw a woman in what appeared to be pajamas walking along holding a can of food. Cars in front of them passed the woman, but when they passed and the passenger really got a look, she asked the driver to turn around, called the police and talked with the woman until they arrived. It happened that the woman had been missing for 12 hours. The woman who insisted they stop did so because she had heard about Heddie’s story on the local news.

Awareness is an important part of the Alzheimer’s story. That and the hope for a cure is why the Dawkins family is still raising money for this year and plans to participate in the walk again next year.

“We have done a lot of fundraising through social media,” Dawkins said. “But I can be pumping gas and start talking to the people beside me. I just give them information about donating to the Alzheimer’s Association and they can decide what to do with it. I can see this getting bigger and bigger.”

Since their walk in October, the team of Miss Heddie’s Kids has raised over $3,600 and hope to raise more before the Dec. 31 deadline. Anyone who would like to donate may look at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s website and search for the team Miss Heddie’s Kids to give toward that team’s goals.

cranberry and orange, the Delectable holiday Duo

By PAtti di AM ond DIVAS ON A DIME

I jokingly call this time of year “pumpkin flavored everything time.” Yet, in the shadow of the squash is the equally endearing cranberry. While cranberry on its own is tart and berry-licious, if you want to make cranberry sing, pair it with orange.

This jam is sweet, tart and unbe lievably addictive. Besides giv ing a major upgrade to your tur key sandwich, you’ll love it with cream cheese and crackers as an appetizer. It’s also an excellent glaze for turkey, chicken, pork and salmon.

To take this over the top, serve it on fresh-from-the-oven cranberry orange bread. This nontraditional twist on Irish Soda Bread is crusty, buttery and bursting with holiday flavor.

The combo is outrageously deli cious. It’s also easy, fun and quite inexpensive.

Here’s the plan: We start by making the bread, and while it bakes, we make the jam. Then we enjoy the bread, still warm from the oven, slathered in fla vorful jam. It’s the perfect way to spend an autumn afternoon in the kitchen, but you may want to enlist a friend, because this is sticky business.

CRANBERRY ORANGE SODA BREAD

Yield: 1 loaf

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

5 cups all-purpose flour, divided 1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter

1 3/4 cups buttermilk

1 large egg 1 tablespoon orange zest, freshly grated

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or non-stick spray. In a large bowl,

mix 4 cups flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Use a cheese grat er to grate the cold butter right into the flour mixture and stir to distribute. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, orange zest and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together. Add the dried cranberries and stir. The dough will be very sticky.

Place the dough onto a floured flat surface. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup flour over the dough and begin kneading, adding flour as you go

until the dough is no longer sticky and you can knead it easily. Form dough into a round loaf and place on the baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut an “X” into the top. Bake for 45 - 55 minutes, until golden brown and the bread sounds hol low when you tap it. Let cool for 10 minutes before you devour it.

CRANBERRY ORANGE JAM

Yield: 2 cups Total Time: 20 minutes

3 1/2 cups (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries

Zest and juice from one orange

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

Pinch salt

1 1/2 tablespoons low or no sugar pectin

In a large saucepan, combine cranberries, orange zest and juice, vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Bring to a gentle boil for 10 min utes as the cranberry skins burst. Take a potato masher and smoosh it all together. Add the pectin and stir well to combine. Bring back to a boil for 3 minutes as the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. This makes 2 cups of jam and fills two 8-ounce glass jars. Refrigerate and use within three weeks.

If you want to add a little zing, add either 1 tablespoon of minced candied ginger or one jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and finely minced. (Wear gloves!)

In addition to being a lovely foodie gift, this duo would be very happy on your next charcuterie board. Pair with brie cheese, blue cheese, nuts, sliced pears, honey butter, crackers, and chicken pate.
