Ragsdale Family Y begins indoor gardening initiative

By nORMa B. dennIs FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com

With the ever-rising cost of food and an increased interest in nutrition, some people are beginning to look for better ways to feed themselves and their families. Of course, cultivating a home garden is one way that comes to mind. But not everyone has the space to grow produce at their home, especially apartment dwellers or those with very small yards.

Local YMCAs realize the need for improved food availability and educating members about farm to table benefits.

Tashonna Cowles, a fall intern at the Ragsdale Family Y, has taken a leadership role in that Y’s “Out of the Garden” project that uses a Tower Garden purchased

from Juice Plus+ to grow healthy produce. It is one of three food initiatives that the Y has recently used. Staff has coordinated a food drive, a Farm to Table weeklong information program and setting up a Tower Garden in the lobby of the Y.

“The Hayes-Taylor Memorial YMCA in Greensboro had already established a Tower Garden,” Cowles said. “Marlee Rindal (executive director of the Ragsdale Family Y) wanted to share how easy it is to grow food at home with our staff and members.”

A Tower Garden uses 10 percent of the water and space of a traditional ground garden. The towers can be used indoors or outside so food may be grown all year. At first glance the cost may seem high, but the towers may be

purchased on a payment plan and it is important to weigh the pros of owning a tower against the cons.

Currently the tower at the Ragsdale Family Y, which has 32 pods or growing spaces, is being used for a variety of salad items such as chard, arugula, bibb and gourmet lettuces, basil, and kale, which were started from seeds. Mari-

A year later, will this time bring a decision for Horton property?

By CaROL BROOKs FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com

Will Nov. 15 be the day resolution is accomplished regarding the three public hearings about the D.R. Horton property along Guilford College and Mackay roads? The hearings are on the Town Council’s agenda for that day but as history shows us, that doesn’t mean anything will be done.

The hearings cover annexation, rezoning and the development agreement between the Town of Jamestown and D.R. Horton and should take up the majority of the meeting.

The matter first came before the Town Council nearly one year ago, on Nov. 16, 2021. Developer D.R. Horton, Inc., owns the property, formally known as the Johnson Farm, and plans a 1,500-unit residential community, including 500 apartments, on the 466.7-acre site. The holdup has been the

long back-and-forth process of formalizing a development agreement.

The Planning Board approved D.R. Horton’s request to rezone the property to Planned Unit Development (PUD) Nov. 8, 2021, prior to the Council meeting.

Tom Terrell, the land use attorney hired by the Town to work on its behalf on the development agreement said

in September of this year the Town was committed to making a quality project that would survive over the decades and be something to be proud of for years to come.

“We’re working with [Horton] right now but that requires more detailed study of a few things to make sure it’s done right,” he added, singling out utilities

mendenhall Homeplace seeks docents

By CaROL BROOKs FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com

Trenail or trunnel.

Weasels.

Bedbugs.

Do you know what these things are? If not, become a volunteer docent at Mendenhall Homeplace and you will be able to tell visitors what they are, how they were used, how old they are … and more.

The only paid employee at the Homeplace is Shawn Rogers, the director. He is a busy man giving tours and taking care of the buildings and grounds at the Homeplace. But that’s not all. Rogers also researches acquisitions, contacts Mendenhall family members and writes grants, among other duties.

It is impossible for him to give tours when more pressing matters are at hand, like seeing to the tree that recently fell as the remnants of Hurricane Ian came through.

That is why docents, or tour guides, are so important.

As a docent, you will greet visitors, lead tours of several buildings and answer questions. Many tours are arranged in advance, like school groups, but guests often show up unannounced. That is to be expected but a volunteer needs to be available at all

times the facility is open. Now is your chance to become a docent at Mendenhall Homeplace. Rogers is very knowledgeable about the Homeplace, family members, anecdotes and things like trunnels. After a docent training session with him, you will be filled

and architectural standards, among others.

He wants to bring a development agreement to the Town Council that they can say to citizens, “Your voices have been heard. Your ideas have been listened to. It will be something other communities may emulate — but we need a few more weeks.”

GETTING THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS

A one-session class “Getting Through the Holidays After the Loss of a Loved One” will be held Nov. 14 from 9:30-11 a.m. in the Rooks Room at Jamestown United Methodist Church. Use the back door and someone will be in the office to give you directions to the classroom.

Refreshments will be served.

COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST

A community Thanksgiving breakfast will be held Nov. 19 from 8-10 a.m. in the fellowship hall of Jamestown United Methodist Church. The event, which is sponsored by the mission group at JUMC, is free to the community. Donations will be accepted but are not required.

The meal will include a large variety of breakfast items to suit the taste of any palate.

UPDATE TO CHORAL FUNDRAISER

The Jamestown United Methodist Church Chancel Choir recently hosted a concert/fundraiser called “Back-to-Broadway.” The concert featured the JUMC Chancel Choir, several soloists from the church, and choirs from Jamestown and Southwest middle schools and Ragsdale and Southwest high schools. Proceeds from the event will be divided among the four schools’ choral programs.

The goal was to raise at least $4,000. At last count the amount raised was $11,000.

ragsdale students host successful ‘Trunk or Treat’

By nORMa B. dennIs FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com

The Ragsdale High School “Trunk or Treat” was a huge success. Sponsored by the Interclub, the event was held in the parking lot in front of the school on Oct. 29. It garnered more than 600 visitors from the community who came to celebrate, and included more than 80 student volunteers who collectively earned about 350 service-learning hours.

In addition to the 17 decorated trunks, there was a coloring table, face painting, games for the kids and food trucks.

A $50 prize, donated by a staff member, was awarded to the club that received the most votes from visitors to the event.

First place, with 96 votes, went to the HOSA Club, which sported an EMSthemed trunk. Volunteers dressed as doctors, nurses and patients and participants who stopped by were able to enjoy playing an operation game.

“This club beat last year’s winners by only one vote,” said Lyric Matthews, president of the Ragsdale Debate Club.

“Also, I was very proud of the Drama Club that came in second with 95 votes for its Alice in Wonderland theme.”

In third place with 80 votes was Student Human Relations with a Jurassic Park 3D Trunk.

Although Trunk or Treat was suspended during the pandemic, it was resumed last year and students are hopeful it can continue moving forward as an annual event.

Natchez’s preservation heroes came from North Carolina

If you lived in Natchez, Mississippi, a city that reportedly in 1850 had more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the country—all that wealth built on cotton and slavery resulting in the largest concentration of antebellum mansions in the South, where would you go to find an expert to help preserve those historic buildings?

By d.G. MaRTIn ONE ON ONE

Folks might tell you they would go to North Carolina where a couple of their preservation heroes grew up.

Last year the Historic Natchez Foundation announced the creation of a center dedicated to the vision established by former directors Ron and Mimi Miller.

Ron, who died September 2 and his wife Mimi grew up in the Charlotte area. Ron graduated from Myers Park High School in Charlotte and went to UNC-Chapel Hill, where his cousin Jeff Beaver was a star quarterback on the football team.

The foundation’s announcement stated, “Ron Miller served as director of the foundation for approximately 30 years, starting in 1979. Mimi Miller took over as executive director in 2008 when her husband went to the Gulf Coast to work for the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. Mimi Miller retired in 2018 after [Carter] Burns was hired as director.

“Friday’s unveiling of the Miller Center for Historic Preservation culminated an evening that celebrated the work of the Millers, who came to Natchez in the 1970s and devoted their lives to the area. The celebration was part of HNF’s annual meeting at his headquarters on Commerce Street.”

Executive Director Carter Burns said, “From creating the foundation to saving buildings around town, professionally and personally, to events like the balloon festival [balloonfestival@natchez.org], formerly known as the balloon race, their fingerprints are all over Natchez and it is the better for it,”

Burns said the new center will be the research arm of the Historic Natchez Foundation. The center will conduct scholarly

research, create publications, host scholars, and organize lectures, conferences and special events.

“It will continue the work of the Millers to discover, document and preserve all aspects of Natchez history,” Burns said.

After Ron’s death was announced, Dan M. Gibson, mayor of Natchez gave the following tribute:

“Rarely does one have the opportunity to meet a gentleman like Ron Miller. As a person, his kindness and concern for others was evident the moment you met him. As a leader, Ron singlehandedly brought about a new appreciation for historic preservation in Natchez. It can be said that his vision saved it. As the first executive director at the Natchez Historic Foundation, he charted a course that we all now follow. His wife Mimi succeeded him in that office, and together they’ve accomplished so much.

“I don’t think Natchez would be the Natchez we know and love if it were not for Ron. When we look around, so many buildings that could have gone the other way are today standing beautiful, having stood the test of time all because of his vision and leadership. I thank God for blessing Natchez with a man like Ron Miller.

“He truly made a difference in our beautiful city. May we live up to the legacy he now leaves behind. Because Natchez Deserves More.”

Mississippi owes North Carolina for the Millers. But remember that we owe Mississippi for authors and teachers such as Bill Ferris and Hodding Carter who brought their Mississippi experiences and wisdom to our state.

Also, celebrating Ron and Mimi Miller’s work in Natchez should make us proud and inspire us to support our state’s preservation efforts, including especially Preservation NC and its president, Myrick Howard.

New to the area? This is a good way to learn about the history of your new surroundings.

The crown jewel of Mendenhall Homeplace is in the bank barn — one of only two remaining falsebottom wagons used to transport slaves to freedom. Although not original to the Homeplace, this wagon made many trips to Ohio with a load of runaway slaves as part of the Underground Railroad. Richard Mendenhall, who built the house on the site, was very active in the North Carolina Manumission society. The second false-bottom wagon is almost identical and is at the Levi Coffin House and Museum in Fountain City, Ind. Coffin, born in New Garden, N.C., now Guilford College, became known as the president of the Underground Railroad for assisting more than

2,000 slaves to freedom.

So what are the items listed at the beginning of this article?

Many of us would call a trunnel a peg. It is used to hold two pieces of wood together in a mortise and tenon joint, often in timber frame construction. The word is derived from tree + nail, or trenail. The peg swells when it is wet, making a firm joint. Today we use nails and rarely use mortice and tenon joints.

Spinning wheels were very popular in the early years of our country to make thread for clothing. After the thread was spun on the spinning wheel it was then put in the weasel, or skein winder, a spoked wheel.

golds were added to discourage bugs in the plants.

“You can plant almost any fruit or vegetable that grows above ground,” Cowles said. “We may experiment with other vegetables in the future.”

Denise McCullough, an affiliate with Juice Plus+, helped the YMCAs purchase their Tower Gardens, which use aeroponic technology.

“The system is water- and mineralbased,” Cowles explained. “The towers water the plants themselves.”

There is also less cleanup with a Tower Garden because it does not use soil. Compared to soil gardening, towers have been shown to increase yields by as much as 30 percent and triple the speed of plant growth. LED indoor grow lights allow the gardens to be used year round.

Juice Plus+ offers two kinds of towers: Tower Garden Flex, which can be stacked, and Tower Garden Home. The YMCAs purchased the Tower Garden Home with the addition of the grow lights.

“Our goal is to let people know of another way to grow plants,” Cowles said. “Growing your own food can help your nutritional health since no chemicals are used, and also be a source of income.”

Jamie Hall-Erath, another local Juice Plus+ affiliate, believes the towers are an easy way for a family to have fresh salad at their fingertips.

“It is also a great way to teach kids about growing things and the importance of good nutrition,” she said.

Hall-Erath

There are rope beds in several rooms at the Mendenhall Homeplace. Instead of today’s mattresses, the ropes formed a latticework that regularly lost its tension. A tool was used to tighten the ropes when they became slack. The ticking was often filled with wool, straw, feathers or sawdust, so when Mama said to the children, “Sleep tight, and don’t let the bedbugs bite,” she wasn’t kidding.

That is just a little bit of the information you can learn as a docent at the Mendenhall Homeplace. To inquire about attending training, contact Shawn Rogers at 336-454-3819, director@ mendenhallhomeplace.com, or drop by the site at 603 W. Main St. in Jamestown. Hours are Tuesday-Friday 11-3 and Saturday 1-4. In January and February the site is only open Friday and Saturday.

Meanwhile, local YMCAs have a head start in growing lots of food in a little space.

Sedgefield Woman’s Club Scholarships

Sedgefield Woman’s Club is now offering two scholarships! These scholarships are exclusively for students at Ragsdale High School.

New this year is the Mabel Hunter Scholarship for pursuit of a technical degree, diploma or certification program. This scholarship is for $2000. This scholarship is given in loving memory of Mabel Hunter, a steadfast member of Sedgefield Woman’s Club for 40 years. Spirited and sometimes feisty, Mabel was a powerhouse of energy and strength.

Sedgefield Woman’s Club also offers

the Mary Eakes Scholarship for a 4-year accredited college or university in North Carolina. This scholarship is $4000 for first place and $1000 for second place.

HORTOn

The Horton development is not the only such project before the Council. Three other public hearings are also on the agenda, The first two regard annexation and rezoning requests from Windsor Homes Land Acquisition and Development Services, LLC for property located at 4718 Harvey Road. Sherril and Kitsie Auman, who live in Dallas, Tex., are the property owners. If approved, the zoning would change from Agricultural (AG) to Conditional ZoningBypass (CZ-B). This property is located across from both Jamestown Middle and Haynes-Inman schools. To the north, it borders the new Jamestown Bypass currently under construction.

The holdup with these requests was the need for a traffic study near the schools and the impact the maximum 95 townhomes proposed would have on traffic. All but six of the townhomes would be on a new road to be constructed west of Harvey Road, between Hethwood Drive and Haynes Road. NCDOT received the results of the study in October for review.

The Planning Board unanimously approved the rezoning in July for the property located across the street from both

Jamestown Middle and Haynes-Inman schools. It is up to the Town Council to both uphold that approval and to approve the annexation request if it so chooses.

The final public hearing is to consider amendments to the Town’s solid waste ordinance.

Under new business, the Council will consider approval of a municipal supplement agreement with the North Carolina Department of Transportation. According to the NCDOT website, the agreement covers construction of a greenway and sidewalk project in Jamestown. It will provide additional funding and extend the completion date from July 15, 2022, to Nov. 30, 2022. The Town should be reimbursed an additional $472,843 in Transportation Alternatives Program funds with a state match of $118,211.

The Council will also consider awarding a contract to Thomas-James Construction LLC for new bathrooms around the course at Jamestown Park Golf Course.

The Council will meet at 6 p.m. Nov. 15 in the Civic Center at Town Hall. The public is urged to attend.

Salome’s Stars

Week of Nov. 14, 2022

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re eager to “Ram” headfirst into that new project. But before you do, find out why some of your colleagues might not appear to be as gung-ho about it as you are.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) All that dedicated hard work you’ve been putting in pays off better than you expected. So go ahead, reward yourself with something befitting a beautyloving Bovine.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to take on that new challenge. And if your selfconfidence is lacking, instead of telling yourself why you can’t do it, list all the reasons why you can.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is one time when you might want to put some distance between you and the job at hand. It will give you a better perspective on what you’ve done and what you still need to do.

LEO (July 23 to August 22)

Resist that occasional lapse into Leonine laziness that sometimes overtakes the Big Cat. Don’t cut corners. Do the job right at this time, or you might have to redo it later.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You know how you like to do things. And that’s fine. But watch that you don’t impose your methods on others. A current financial crunch soon eases.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone might try to take advantage of your generosity. But before your sensitivity toward others overwhelms your good sense, check their story out carefully.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your strong Scorpian sense of fairness lets you see all sides of a dispute. Continue to remain impartial as you help each person work through their particular grievance.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Trust your keen Sagittarian insight to help

you see through an offer that might not be all it claims to be. A closer look could reveal disturbing elements.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) With the Goat exhibiting a more dominant aspect these days, you could find it easier to make your case in front of even the most skeptical audience.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Take things nice and easy as you continue to build up your energy reserves for a big upcoming change. You’ll need your strength for what lies ahead.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Recent news from someone you trust could help you make an important decision. Also, be prepared to confront an upcoming change in a personal situation.

BORN THIS WEEK: You can be firm in your own views, but also flexible enough to welcome the views of others.

The Crown, Season 5 (TV-MA) — Following the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the fifth season of The Crown explores quite a tumultuous time for the English Royal Family: the years leading up to Princess Diana’s tragic death. The events of the 1990s are put on full display, as the critically acclaimed series concentrates on the tension building between the Queen, Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby and Tenet) takes on the role of the doe-eyed princess, and Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) is none other than

the queen herself, who was portrayed in previous seasons by Olivia Colman and Claire Foy. This is surely one season you don’t want to miss. Out Nov. 9. (Netflix)

Causeway (R) — Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence stars in this new psychological drama now released on streaming after holding its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. Lawrence portrays a soldier named Lynsey, who suffered a brain injury while fighting overseas in Afghanistan and is now adjusting back to life in New Orleans. The film can be described as an intro-

spective look at how to handle trauma, and Lawrence’s performance has received great praise so far. Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta) and Linda Edmond (Death of a Salesman) also make up the small cast of this emotive film. (AppleTV+)

• You’ve no doubt heard of shattering a glass with your voice, but how about singing at a pitch so low only an elephant can hear it? That feat belongs to Tim Storms, who possesses a 10-octave vocal range and holds the Guinness World Record for lowest note produced by a human and widest vocal range.

• In some parts of the world, tarantulas have “pet” frogs, which they protect from predators.

• At the Harvard-Yale annual college football matchup in 2004, Yale students played quite the trick on their opponents by dressing as Harvard pep squad members and handing out crimson and gold placards to the crowd. While told their cards would spell out “Go Harvard” when raised, the actual message read “We Suck.”

• You don’t need a body to play video games — just a mind! Lab-grown human and mouse brain cells inhabiting a petri dish became sentient enough to learn how to play Pong.

• Billy Joel’s song “Only the Good Die Young” was banned by some radio stations for being “anti-Catholic.” Joel hardly minded, however, as the resulting publicity made the tune so popular that he wrote to the president of Seton Hall College in New Jersey (the first entity to forbid it) requesting a ban on his next record as well.

Transformers: EarthSpark (NR) — Transformers fans can now enjoy a TV series packed with the usual Autobot and Decepticon action, but this time, for the whole family. In the first season of this computer-animated TV series,

a new type of Transformers is born, called the Terrans. These Terrans become bonded with two young kids, Robby and Mo Malto, who just moved from Philadelphia to the small town of Witwicky. The kids bring the bots home to their parents, who adopt them as family, while fan-favorite Bumblebee is assigned to train the bots, just in time, of course, for a fight against evil. All 26 episodes of the first season are out Nov. 11.

The English (NR) — Set in 1890, Englishwoman Cornelia Locke (Emily Blunt) arrives in the Western United States bloodthirsty for revenge

after the death of her son. In her quest to find the man responsible, Cornelia doesn’t expect to meet Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer), a member of the Pawnee Nation. As the two realize they have more in common than what meets the eye, Cornelia and Eli agree to join forces to find the culprit and exact their revenge. A Western drama series is an interesting change of pace for award-winning actress Emily Blunt, but with her previous work in gritty films like A Quiet Place and Sicario, she’ll most likely captivate audiences. Out on Nov. 11. (Prime Video)

Pumpkin gives bread pudding a seasonal twist

By PaTTI dIaMOnd DIVAS ON A DIME

In a season traditionally overflowing with good things to eat, let’s add another entry to the dessert table, shall we? I’m talking about pumpkin bread pudding.

This recipe elevates bread pudding to holiday worthy status. We’re adding pumpkin puree and warm spices to the bread pudding, then topping it with a velvety caramel pecan praline sauce to create bread pudding that’s bursting with flavors of the season.

If pumpkin pie and bread pudding had a baby, it would be this!

Not just for Thanksgiving, this versatile recipe makes any day a special occasion. It can be served either hot, warm or cold, and for dessert, breakfast, brunch or a snack. It’s also perfect to bring to a potluck or make as a gift for friends and neighbors.

As always, my recipes are developed with low cost in mind. In this spirit, I’ve omitted the heavy cream found in most bread pudding recipes and replaced it with a can of evaporated milk to add creamy richness. Please note we’re using evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed milk. You’ll use part of the can of evaporated milk in the pudding and the remainder in the sauce.

Another part of the frugal appeal of this recipe is that it uses stale bread. Use bread you find on the “oops, we baked too much” rack. You can use loaves of breads like French, Italian or artisan breads. You also can use baguettes, challah, croissants, doughnuts, even cinnamon rolls.

PUMPKIN BREAD

PUDDING

Yield: 12 servings

Total Time: 70 minutes

1 (one pound) loaf day old bread

teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9 by 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Slice or tear the bread into small pieces and place them in the baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the half and half, evaporated milk, pumpkin, sugars, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Carefully pour this custard mixture over the bread pieces in the baking dish. Lightly press the bread down until it’s completely covered in the custard mixture. Let this rest for about 15 minutes to let the custard soak all the bread pieces. Bake in your preheated oven for 50 minutes to an hour or until set and browned.

While the bread pudding is baking, make the praline sauce.

EASY PECAN PRALINE SAUCE

Yield: 2 1/2 cups

Total Time: 7 minutes

1 1/4 cups light brown sugar

3/4 cup evaporated milk

1 tablespoon butter

Pinch salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter and salt. Cook, stirring the sauce until it is syrupy and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and pecans. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Pour over bread pudding to serve.

Bread pudding is a stellar example of simple ingredients coming together to make something greater than the sum of their parts.

As I was making this, my niece suggested that since pumpkin is a vegetable and the pudding is mostly bread and eggs, she should be able to have it for dinner. Of course, I said yes. That’s because I’m the cool auntie.

There will be plenty of time for eating properly. Tomorrow.

Could cancer medication cause weight loss and side effects?

By KeITH ROaCH, M.d. TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife was diagnosed with liver cancer in January. We do not know how she got it, since she does not smoke, drink or do drugs — and has no family history. She has lost about 50 pounds. She is currently receiving the immunotherapy drugs Tecentriq and Avastin. These drugs worked for a while, but now they do not work as well. My question is, could these drugs have caused this weight loss, since the side effects of both medications say that they might cause weight loss? What else could she take, and what could we do to help her gain weight faster? Her legs are very weak, and she has trouble walking. She has even fallen a few times. Thank you. — H.R.

DEAR H.R.: I am very sorry for your wife’s diagnosis. Many symptoms found in people with cancer can be caused either by the cancer or by its treatment, and it can be very hard to determine which is causing the symptoms. Weight loss is an extremely common symptom in people with liver cancer, so it may not be either of these drugs causing the problem. Even though weight loss can happen with either of the medicines she is taking, 50 pounds makes me suspect the issue is more likely the cancer itself, rather than the drug. But, of course, both might be working together.

A registered dietician can help work with your wife to give her nutrition advice, which normally includes tasty, high-protein, nutrient-rich foods. Her cancer doctors may help with anti-nausea medicines, treating any underlying depression and sometimes prescribing medicines to stimulate appetite.
