New coffee shop opens downtown

By CaROL BROOKs FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com

Coffee lovers are in luck.

A new coffee (and tea) shop, Kindred Coffee & Kitchen has opened at 116 E. Main St. in the location last occupied by The Miller’s Market.

The shop, owned by mother and son Marsha and Greg Pittman, currently is open TuesdaySaturday from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. but the pair plan to be open longer hours if business demands it. They have extended hours during Wednesday Christmas on Main events.

The mother and son are no strangers to the coffee business,

having had an online coffee subscription, pop-up coffee booth and a coffee truck named Cause Roast out of a 1972 Volkswagen bus for several years. It was often parked in downtown Jamestown.

Marsha grew up helping her father in his donut, ice cream, candy and coffee shops. She loved meeting people and making them feel special.

“Couple that with my love for the coffee shop culture and starting a coffee shop makes perfect sense,” Marsha said. “I kept praying and watching and waiting.”

Health problems for both Pittmans slowed down but did not kill their dream.

A successful Kickstarter cam-

paign recently helped them reach 101 percent of their goal. After looking for a brick-and-mortar location, they found the former Miller’s Market space perfect for their new venture.

“If you really want to shape the community, you need a table for people to sit at to come to gather,” Greg said. “[Mom] has a passion for bringing people together.”

Kindred Coffee’s menu includes hot or cold beverages including Hex Coffee from Charlotte, tea, pastries and Homeland Creamery ice cream. Future plans call for sandwiches, tartine (an open-faced sandwich),

High Point fined for wastewater plant violations

Caring hearts provide help to shelter animals

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

Animals at the Guilford County Animal Shelter got an early Christmas present this year with the help of high school students from Haynes-Inman Education Center. Each year students participate in a servicelearning project around the holidays to learn more about the importance of giving and ways they can give back to the community. This was the first year the animal shelter was the recipient of the students’ project.

“We just finished a unit about the United States government that included voting,” said high school teacher Beth Meadows, who along with assistant LaVonda Kennedy coordinated the project. “This year the majority of our students voted to col-

lect donations for the animal shelter.”

Voting for the high school students at H-I looks a bit different from that in other schools. Because many are nonverbal and require different communication skills, students used Augmentative and Alternative Communication to make their choices known. AAC means all of the ways that someone communicates besides talking, including gestures, signing, symbols, word boards, picture cards, communication boards and books, as well as Voice Output Communication Aids.

“Responding to a real opportunity to benefit the community helped students improve their communication skills by allowing them to ask questions and make comments about the proj-

Package theft and how to prevent

By GUILFORd COUnTy sHeRIFF's OFFICe

Package theft around this time of year is prevalent in most cities around this time of year in America due to increased online purchases. Guilford County Sheriff’s Office has comprised a list of tips to help protect you and your property.

• Install cameras around property, especially the area where packages would be left by delivery companies.

• Schedule deliveries at times someone will be at the residence.

• Require a signature for all deliveries to ensure packages are not left on porch.

• Use a delivery locker as provided by Amazon or another retailer where only you are able to retrieve your package.

These are some small suggestions to ensure your property best to you. Be safe Guilford County and Happy Holidays.

The City of High Point has been fined more than $72,000 by the State of North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality in the past year for violations at its Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant, one of two such plants in the city.

This is of note to Jamestown and Sedgefield residents because the plant, at 5898 Riverdale Road in Jamestown, treats wastewater from those areas as well as High Point and Archdale..

In January, the city was fined $44,364 after a July 2021 inspection that found 24 violations, 23 of those for readings indicating a drop in pressure from the required level on a wet scrubber machine. The machine removes pollutants from contaminated gas. The agency’s Division of Air Quality later reduced that fine to $22,264.

In July, the City agreed to pay $24,000 civil penalty for operating the plant’s sewage sludge incinerator with an expired air quality permit.

In November, it was fined $4,000 for exceeding carbon monoxide emission limits found in an August inspection.

“When violations are noted, we require the facility to resolve any issues and will use our enforcement tools to address noncompliance,” said Shawn Taylor, a spokesman for the DAQ, in a press release.

The air quality permit expired Nov. 30 of last year but has yet to be renewed. The City should have applied to renew at least six months prior to that November date. In July of this year, the NCDEQ allowed the plant to continue to operate with an expired permit during the renewal process.

Derrick Boone, High Point Assistant Director of Public Services, stated in a letter that the permit renewal was related to personnel changes, staffing

Germany gave us many christmas traditions

By CaROL BROOKs FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com

Many Christmas traditions we observe today originated in Germany. The custom of chopping down a spruce tree, or “tannenbaum,” and decorating it is from the 16th century. Germans previously decorated their homes with evergreen branches. Legend says that church reformist Martin Luther was the first to put candles on his tree.

Advent calendars began in an orphanage in Hamburg, in the 1830s when the children daily asked their pastor if Christmas had arrived. The Advent wreath also is courtesy of Germany.

But there’s one custom that is not very popular in the United States but can be found in abundance in Germany — smokers, or smoking men.

The earliest smokers in the late 1600s were made from dough and paper maché. Later, craftsmen in the Erzgebirge (or Ore) Mountains of Germany carved figurines out of a single piece of wood resembling local villagers. The locals could find the postman, miner, chimney sweep, etc. in the carvings. Today, smoking men are the major source of income in the Erzgebirge.

These figurines would be placed on a tray next to incense for decoration. For thousands of years,

incense has been thought to ward off evil spirits and has been used for medicine and healing practices. It symbolizes the gift of frankincense and myrrh brought by the Wise Men to baby Jesus.

When incense cones were created in the late 1700s, the carvings were cut into two pieces and a cone placed inside. The figurine’s top was hollowed out and the mouth opened up. When the incense (raucherkerze) was lit, the figure (rauchermann) appeared to be smoking.

German tradition says that the incense is lit on the last of the 12 days of the Christmas festival, which runs Dec. 25-Jan. 6. It is

the Festival of the Three Wise Men to mark the end of the season.

These days, German smokers come in many designs: Santa Claus, ski hut with smoke coming out the chimney, shepherd,

farmer, carpenter, doctors, etc. Most are approximately six inches in height, but can be larger.

Newlyweds prove love is ageless

By n ORM a B. denn I s FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com

When the couple came to Bluebird Event Center on Greensboro Road to inquire about using it for their wedding reception, owner Roshan Bhandari was so impressed with their story that he offered the center to them free of charge. The perspective bride and groom were not your average couple preparing to wed. They were both in their 70s and had pushed their wedding off for years before finally tying the knot.

“I have not heard of anyone getting married at their ages, so letting them use the center was sort of my present for them,” Bhandari said.

Wadis Ingram, 71, and Brenda Sellers Hall, 77, both attended William Penn

School in the early 1960s. Wadis, was attracted to Brenda, who participated in the high school’s marching band as a majorette.

“I fell in love with her legs first,” he said.

Because he was several years younger, Wadis was content at the time to admire Brenda from afar.

Years later the two met and realized their attraction for one another was mutual. They talked about getting married, but ongoing health issues kept the wedding plans on hold for years. Dec. 11, 2022, changed that when the couple finally became Mr. and Mrs.

The service, held at Providence Church of God in Christ, was officiated by Pastor Marshall A. Newsome. Wadis’ son, Robert, was the best man and granddaughter Paisley was a flower girl. Brenda’s

grand-daughter, Kortney, was the maid of honor and her granddaughter, Kassidy, was also a flower girl, In addition to his son, Wadis has a daughter, Tonya Sturdivant, and Brenda has a daughter, Katrina Hall McNeil. Between the two, they have 14 grandchildren, five great grandchildren and another on the way.

Friends and family joined the couple for the reception at Bluebird Event Center and even the facility owners Bhandari and his wife Hiromi Yoshikoshi stopped by to participate in the celebration.

The most memorable thing the couple recalls about the reception was the toast.

“Hearing all the kind words of love and encouragement from our family and friends was special,” Wadis and Brenda agreed.

Ferguson and the late Mary Kathleen Ferguson, all of Greensboro, NC.

The couple live and work in Greensboro, NC. Anna is a Dental Assistant at Tkatch Dentistry. Andrew is self employed in the home renovation business.

The couple recently celebrated their engagement at the Danville Golf Club with family, hosted by Bobbye Raye Womack.

The September 2023 wedding will take place at The Winmock at Kinderton in Bermuda Run, North Carolina.

Obituaries

Anne Petty

Mrs. Nancy “Anne” Bundy Petty, 83, died Friday, December 16, 2022 at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro.

Anne was born June 28, 1939 in High Point, a daughter to the late Harry E. and Julia Alice Byerly Bundy. As a resident of this area all her life, she was a 1957 graduate of Jamestown High School and later retired from the Town of Jamestown as Town Clerk. She cherished this area and attended Jamestown United Methodist Church where she was a faithful choir member most of her life and member of the Rooks Sunday School Class. Anne loved to travel and, in 2011, had the opportunity of a lifetime to visit Israel with a group from her church. She and her husband loved to reminisce about past family trips alongside their lifelong friends, Sonja and Russ Flinchum, with a station wagon full of children and luggage! Her family fondly remembers summer beach trips and Anne’s inevitable sunburn that followed, as well as the big family meals she helped prepare for Sunday lunches and holidays.

On November 12, 1960, she married John B. Petty and began a relationship which would last over 60 years. In addi-

tion to her husband, Anne is survived by her son, William “Will” E. Petty (Holly) of Greensboro; daughter, Nancy J. Pierce (Mark) of Greensboro; three grandchildren, Evan W. Petty of Greensboro, Logan N. Johnson (Jessica Lee) of Gaithersburg, MD and Ryan E. Petty (Charlotte) of Virginia Beach, VA; three nieces, Lynn Putman and Cindy Barton both of Jamestown and Nancy Lewis of Asheboro. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a son, John “Johnny” R. Petty; and a sister, Patricia “Pat” Putman.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, December 26, at Jamestown United Methodist Church with Dr. David Greene officiating. A reception will follow the service from 11:15-12:45 p.m. in the church fellowship hall. A private family interment will follow the reception at Guilford Memorial Park Cemetery in Greensboro. Memorials may be directed to Jamestown United Methodist Church at P.O. Box 339, Jamestown, NC 27282.

Week of Dec. 26, 2022

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ve let yourself get distracted from what’s really important. But love finally gets your attention this week. However, it comes with a challenge that could create a problem.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be careful not to bully others into following your lead. Best advice: Persuade, don’t push, and you’ll get the cooperation you need to move forward with your plans.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist the urge to gloat now that you’ve proved your detractors wrong. Instead, charm them back into your circle. Remember: A former foe can become your best ally.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might want to claim all the credit for making this holiday season special. But is it worth producing a lot of hurt feelings by rejecting offers of help? Think about it.

LEO (July 23 to August 22)

Ignore a co-worker’s questionable behavior. Instead, put your energy into making your own project special. Then sit back and purr over your welldeserved applause.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might not want to accept those suggested changes in your workplace, but don’t chuck them out before you check them out. You could be happily surprised.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your plans might have to take a back seat for a bit so that you can handle a problem with a friend or family member. Your schedule will return back to normal in a few weeks.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Relationships in general are beneficial during the early part of the week, including in the workplace. Also, expect some overdue changes in a personal situation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) “Prudence” should be your watchword this

week. Best not to be too open about some of the things that are currently happening in your life.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Money is on your mind, so you’d best mind how you’re spending it. Take another look at your budget and see where you can make adjustments.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Resolving to revive an old friendship could open some old wounds. Are you sure you want to risk that? Think this through before making a commitment.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your need to know more about a new friend could lead to some startling revelations. Best advice: Keep an open mind about what you learn until all the facts are in.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (PG-13) — The success garnered by the 2019 mystery Knives Out led Netflix to acquire two standalone sequels, the first of which releases on the streaming platform on Dec. 23. Daniel Craig reprises his role as detective Benoit Blanc in Glass Onion, as Blanc is mysteriously requested to visit billionaire Miles Bron’s (Edward Norton) Greek estate. Miles, who is hosting a group of his friends, conducts a murder mystery party, but Blanc shortly discovers an actual dead body and dives into a full-fledged investigation. Some other faces you might recognize in the film are Janelle Monae, Kathyrn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Dave Bautista and Kate Hudson. (Netflix)

Top Gun: Maverick (PG-13) — The sequel to Top Gun (1986) will soon be released on Paramount’s streaming service for those who haven’t yet seen the highest-grossing film of 2022 (or for those who just like to enjoy the nostalgia). Releasing Dec. 22, Maverick stars the one and only Tom Cruise, along with Miles Teller, Jennifer

The Best Man: The Final Chapters (NR)

The 1999 film The Best Man, starring Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs and Nia Long, is one of my favorite ‘90s films. A splash of comedy here, a splash of romantic drama there, and a final dancing scene of everyone doing the electric slide — what more can you ask for? A Christmas sequel to the film was released

in 2013, but fans like me who’ve grown to love these flawed, relatable characters wanted more! So, Peacock is set to release an eightepisode miniseries Dec. 22 based on the franchise. The characters, who are now in their middle-age stages of life, tackle new challenges as professionals, husbands, wives and parents — and, ultimately, friends.

shortages and operational impacts from Covid-19.

As of this writing, CHP has paid all fines assessed by the DEQ.

The Eastside Plant treats 26 million gallons of wastewater each day. The treated discharge flows into the Randleman Regional Reservoir, which supplies drinking water to Jamestown, High Point, Greensboro, Archdale, Randleman and Randolph County.

The City of High Point has a history of receiving fines for the Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant. An internet search uncovered a Greensboro News & Record article from 2003 that stated, “The state has fined the Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant more money for water-pollution

violations than anyone in North Carolina this year.”

Thru August of that year the City had been fined $46,000 from DWQ, far less than the 2022 total.

“Most of High Point’s fines came for not removing enough pollution from the sewage before releasing it into Richland Creek, which flows into the Deep River,” the article continued. It added that High Point was fined $9,000 earlier in the year for a leak at the plant that was ignored for several months.

The News & Record conducted an investigation in 2003 and found that between 1998 and 2002, “High Point had spilled about 119 gallons of untreated or partially treated sewage — which can contain used bath water

and dishwater, toilet contents and condoms — for every sewer customer.” The investigation noted this “was the second-worst rate among the state’s 10 largest cities.”

Following the fines, improvements were made to the plant.

Improvements are ongoing at the Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant. According to the Town of Jamestown 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program, nearly $3 million is budgeted for the plant in the Water and Sewer Fund. The Town will pay 7.692 percent of the improvements, which include odor control, ultraviolet system upgrade pre-heat burner, ash decant line replacement and expansion.

ect,” Meadows said.

“Many of our students own pets and wanted to show love to other animals that needed help. We researched the needs of the shelter, how many items we would like to collect, what our display would look like and various jobs needed for the project such as collecting, sorting and counting.”

Students selected a goal of 500 items and the project was open to all H-I students, their families and staff. A box was placed in the front foyer to collect items brought to school. Each day, students enjoyed pushing a cart to check the box and took the donations back to class to process.

On Dec. 9, the senior high school students went shopping at Target to purchase additional items for the shelter. Navigating the store, choosing items to purchase and managing money was another opportunity for students to demonstrate more of their skills within the community.

In addition to collecting and purchasing items for animals at the shelter, students used their vocational ed classes to bake dog treats from pumpkin, whole wheat flour and eggs. The classes included kitchen safety, as well as how to follow a recipe and measure ingredients.

flatbread pizzas and house specials.

“[We will have] good food that is not just good food in general,” Greg said. “It’s good for you and tastes good, like good old down-home cooking, but is actually good for you.”

The word “kindred” has a familial meaning: family, closely connected, kin, together. The company’s core values are hospitality, community and excellence.

“That is at the heart of our vision,” Greg said via the shop’s website. “We are a locally- and familyowned full-service counter coffee shop and eatery with an inviting, relaxing and

restorative atmosphere. We are passionate about hospitality, excellence and community.”

He added that the name defines what the space could be. Like the television show “Cheers,” there are no strangers at Kindred. They are all kindred spirits. He plans to be closely involved in the community and to make an impact.

Although there are several businesses named Kindred Coffee around the country, the Jamestown location is privately owned, not a franchise.

Lots of people visited the coffee shop during the Dec. 14 soft opening and during

Christmas on Main. More are certain to come as word gets out. The Pittmans plan a Grand Opening party sometime in January.

“Whether you’re working remotely, meeting friends for brunch, or just need your daily caffeine kick, we hope you feel totally at home and cared for at Kindred Coffee & Kitchen. We can’t wait to meet you,” Greg said.

“Not only did the students have fun and learn important skills as they worked on the project, they communicated about all of it every step of the way,” Meadows said.

By the time the delivery was made to the shelter on Dec. 15, the school had 770 items including new or lightly used blankets and large towels, unopened and unexpired canned or dry dog food, unopened and unexpired cat and dog treats, new or gently used harnesses (preferably for large dogs), as well as smooth peanut butter and unsweetened applesauce used to fill Kong toys for play. Items turned in after the deadline for the project were delivered to the shelter at a later date.

“We are so excited that our HaynesInman school community has contributed so generously to a cause that our students feel is important,” Meadows said.

Animal Shelter

The Guilford County Animal Resource Center, which includes the shelter, is located at 980 Guilford College Road, Greensboro, and is open from 12-6 p.m. The shelter is closed on Tuesdays and open 1-5 p.m. Sundays.

If you missed the opportunity to donate items for the shelter through the HaynesInman service-learning project, you may take them to the shelter. Items to donate — see story.

Items not accepted include: controlled drugs, or any medications, heavily soiled blankets or towels, hand towels, pillow cases, pillows, and sheets, opened or expired food, used litter pans or litter scoops, heavily used toys or any destructible toys (such as stuffed animals, rope toys, etc.), rawhides, bones or antlers, non-animal-related items (such as clothes, shoes, household items, etc.), small animal totes or carrying bags, animal clothing or costumes, pet beds, pet bowls and human clothing.

Baking dog treats was another part of the students’ service learning project.
