‘Friends’ continue to support local library

By nORMa B. dennIs FreeLANCe WrIter ndworddesign@gmail.com

Volunteerism plays a large part of making any organization successful. That is certainly true for the Jamestown Public Library. Volunteers with Friends of the Jamestown Public Library provide countless hours and energy to make the library an inviting place for all ages. The group met Nov. 28 to celebrate its members, remember the past and learn of exciting activities to come.

“Even members who only pay their dues help the

library,” said Jean Regan, president.

Regan introduced current officers and shared a list of those on the ballot for 2023. No nominations were received from the floor. Members voted into office included Regan, president; Rita Talchik, vice president; Emily Wagoner, secretary; and Bobbie Huggins, treasurer.

Looking back

During a special Trick or Treat event in the town of Jamestown, the library gave away free books to children.

“What could be better

than getting children interested in reading?” Regan said.

She also noted that no book donated to the library goes to waste, but is put to work in the basement Corner Book Shop, included in gift baskets or donated to other groups.

Two new names have been added to the Honor Roll of Volunteers, which was started in 2019. Linda Munns and Ginny Pickett were recognized as the 2022 recipients for giving outstanding volunteer service to the library.

Known as the basket ladies, the two women

began the gift-basket program that raises between $2,000-$4,000 each year. For more than 10 years they created countless baskets that were sold to help support the work of the library. Every basket incorporated a theme and held new and gently used items and a book, which the women collected or provided. Although they have passed the basket making to others, their long-term efforts are deeply appreciated.

“Their creativity and enthusiasm for this ongo-

A leader in custodial services will close out her GCS career on a high note. Just a month away from her expected retirement, custodial area manager Faye Clayton was named the December GCS Employee of the Month.

As a custodial area manager for 15 years, Clayton supervises custodial services at about a dozen schools. She’s also there to assist custodians with issues that may arise in their buildings and help them improve their skills.

“Ms. Faye has been a positive influence for me in being a lead custodian,” wrote Myrtle Terry, lead custodian at Ragsdale High School, in one of several nominations. “She showed me how to deal with the difficult challenges that come with this job with a smile on my face. She has been a wonderful mentor. I love her spirit and how she chooses to handle conflicts.”

JBA sponsors Christmas on Main

By nORMa B. dennIs FreeLANCe WrIter ndworddesign@gmail.com

Holiday shopping does not have to be stressful. In fact, the Jamestown Business Association is creating an atmosphere of fun in which to get those last minute gifts as it once again sponsors Christmas on Main.

“I am delighted we have this event to bring attention to Jamestown as a destination spot,” said Bob Callicutt, branch manager of Carter Bank & Trust and JBA treasurer.

Ranging from the Town Hall in the east to Affordable Designs and Kisses 4 Kate at the Jamestown Center in the west the event includes extended hours for many local businesses, special music by school choirs, a visit with Santa and the opportunity to win prizes by visiting all the participating businesses at some point from 5-8 on Dec. 7, 14 and 21 or during their regular daytime hours during that two-week period.

Christmas Stroll cards may be obtained at any participating business. When visiting each one your card will be punched, stamped or

Group seeks biodiversity and sustainability from D.R. Horton

By CaROL BROOKs FreeLANCe WrIter cab1hp@gmail.com

It has been 33 months since Diamondback Investment Group announced plans for the Johnson Farm property along Guilford College and Mackay roads. During that time there have been many citizen comments and protests regarding the development. Many of the comments have been about the density.

It has been 18 months since D.R. Horton purchased the property from Diamondback and 15 months since Horton requested a development agreement between the company and the Town, laying out just what can and cannot be done in a new development. With a lot of details to be worked out, this process has yet to be finalized.

But even when the

development agreement is approved — possibly in January 2023 — a new group calling themselves the Environmental and Sustainability Coalition of Jamestown could require more assurances from D.R. Horton.

“When friends start talking, you find there are many things in common about how we think,” said Dr. Patricia Gray, a member of ESC, who has a background in science research. “In this

covered with a sticker. When all the spaces are filled, drop it off at the JBA tent on the last night for a drawing for the grand prize — a gift basket filled with merchandise and gift cards.

Businesses participating in this year’s Christmas Stroll are: Affordable Designs, Black Powder Smokehouse, Cakes By B’s Blue House Bakery, Emerge Skin Studio, Guilford & Main, Kisses 4 Kate, Lady Latrells Rejuvenation & Spa, Potent Potables, Royal Elegance By Trevonda, Simply Thai, Sophisticuts, Southern Roots, The Soap Lady and Under Pressure Massage & Bodywork.

To add to your holiday fun, stop by to chat with Santa on Dec. 7 and 14 at the JBA table located in front of Guilford & Main. School choral groups will also be at that spot entertaining with special holiday music.

The Town Hall will be open for extended hours during Christmas on Main to receive letters to Santa (see story below) and councilmembers will be serving hot chocolate.

A trolley will provide free rides up and down Main Street to help travel the distance between businesses. It

will have a hard stop at 8 p.m. Patrons should be cognitive of the time so they can be at their final destination by then and not find themselves walking farther than originally intended.

Of course, Christmas on Main not only helps celebrate the holiday season, but also promotes Jamestown businesses by bringing new and former patrons to the area.

“There are so many good businesses in this area,” said Toni Walker, owner of Toni Walker Photography. “This is a great time to see what is available and to shop local.”

In 1976, area businesses formed the Jamestown Business Alliance with 30 charter members. Years later it disbanded, but was re-started in 1992 as the Jamestown Business Association. From its beginning, the group met monthly to network and promote all Jamestown has to offer in the way of shops, restaurants and other amenities.

Christmas on Main is only one way JBA supports its local businesses and the community. Among other activities, members also assist the Jamestown Rotary Club at the annual Christmas parade.

Send a letter to Santa

By CaROL BROOKs FreeLANCe WrIter cab1hp@gmail.com

It has been said that government works slowly — but government also has some rather important connections.

The Town of Jamestown has set up a red mailbox in the lobby of Town Hall at 301 E. Main St. so parents and children can bring their letters to Santa Claus for the town staff to mail daily.

Here’s where the connections come in: “Santa” himself will reply to the child.

The instructions are as follows: Have a child write a letter to Santa and the parent write a personalized response and sign it “From Santa.” Make the letter from Santa as personal as possible by highlighting your child’s accomplishments over the past year. For example, helping around the house, receiving good grades in a particular subject at school or participating in community service activities.

Put both letters into an envelope and address it to the child but do not seal it. For the return address, put “Santa, North Pole.” Then put a first-class stamp on the envelope.

Put that envelope into a larger envelope, add appropriate postage and address it to: North Pole Postmark, Postmaster, 4141 Postmark Dr., Anchorage, AK 99530-9998.

Remember, that’s postage on both pieces of mail.

The reply from “Santa” will have a North Pole postmark verifying its authenticity and will arrive in several days, depending on Santa’s busy schedule.

The red mailbox will be up until Dec. 16 during business hours and during Christmas on Main when the Town Hall will be open Dec. 7 and 14 from 5-8 p.m. Town Council members will be serving hot chocolate.

Sit back and watch your children’s faces when a letter from “Santa” arrives addressed to them. It will make their Christmas — and the parents’ Christmas as well.

HORTO n

case, our concerns about the property’s biodiversity brought us together.”

Gray found that others in the Jamestown area had already been researching some of the issues.

ESC members passed out flyers at the October Town Council meeting outlining how developing the prop erty will be detrimental to the environment and, spe cifically, its biodiversity.

“Our group wants to use scientific information/ research and reasonable dia logue to see that the devel opment is biodiversified and a model to what quality development could be,” said ESC member Deb Printup. “Jamestown could be a national model of responsi ble development and a great example of how people and nature can coexist.”

“We are not against development but it must be done right,” said Gray.

“Biodiversity is by far the most important scien tific discovery in the last 100 or more years,” she said. “It is essentially a new way of thinking of how are we going to inter act with our natural envi ronment.”

She added that humans have their privilege, good health and bounty due to all of the other species that are around. Clear-cutting land for development will endanger those species.

What is biodiversity?

Simply, it is the different kinds of life found in one area — animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, organisms and humans — and how these groups interact with each other.

Animals and birds help protect us from dangerous spreads of viruses and other diseases, accord ing to the flyer. Wetlands, marshes, and riverbanks control floods, filter water, and can prevent damage from natural disasters.

“The Triad experienc es the most days of high pollution than any other area of North Carolina,” read the flyer, using North Carolina Environment Research and Policy Cen ter, Winter 2020, as the source.

Using an EPA calcu lator, the 467-acre D.R. Horton property, as it now stands, is vital to the health of area citizens by captur ing 392.28 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year. Any devel opment there will impact health by:

• increased pulmonary and cardiac-associated mor

bidity and mortality,

• increased risk of respi ratory diseases, particularly asthma,

• increased harm to plant life and animal life,

• Loss of biodiversity.

People with lung disease, children and older people are at higher risk of skin and lung diseases.

Increased pollution reduces the amount of oxy gen in the water, increasing risks of acid rain.

Sustainability

Could this property be developed without harming ourselves, our children’s future or destroying the environment? The answer is yes, by using sustainable building practices. Innova tions in building design, practices, and materials make it possible. Afford able housing does not have to be non-sustainable but a sustainable developer/ builder is required for such a project.

Sustainability is defined as the avoidance of the depletion of natural resourc es in order to maintain an ecological balance.

“It’s a different way of thinking about what is con tained in the assets of that property,” Gray said. “Is it just an acreage thing on which we can put a lot of density for humans or is it something that we have to reflect on?

“The building industry has come to understand that you have to develop prop erty very thoughtfully. That mindfulness of what you are going to select to take away has to have a putback that continues to keep the balance of things going. You can take away some thing here but you have to put-back something.”

She added that sustain ability in building and creat ing living space for humans is a crucial part of how the industry has to re-think what it is that we have to bargain with the developer.

Strangely, D.R. Hor ton’s brother, Terry, is also a developer with Hor ton World Solutions but he focuses on looking at how an environment can be melded into a residen tial development. The company’s website, www. hwsglobal.com, states the modern construction indus try “sacrifices quality and safety to save costs, neglect for the environment and communities it is building into, and contribution to a global crisis surrounding a lack of quality, affordable housing.”

What can be done?

The Environmental and Sustainability Coalition is asking for due diligence before any construction begins. They are asking for an updated Arborist Report because loss of large, native trees — especially oaks, birch, cherry — starve 1,000s of species, including butterflies, pollinators, and birds. The Timmons Group did the most recent report for Diamondback Investment Group. It indicates several “keystone trees,” significant trees which, if removed,

would degrade the environ ment forever in not only this property but surrounding areas.

They also seek other reports such as Endangered Species, Carbon Capture/ Heat Sink on future projec tions, Watershed impact studies, Noise/Sound as a future impact on planning and Historical Preservation on existing structures and archeological findings.

The Environmental and Sustainability Coalition would like to see the estab lishment of a Biodiversity/ Sustainability Advisory Council made up of dedi cated citizens and experts. This advisory council would monitor, negotiate and work with the developers to advise the Jamestown government over the build-out of proj ects.

“Greensboro and Win ston-Salem both have Advisability Sustainability Boards,” said Lisa Keck, a coalition member.

The group has met with Town staff and presented their position.

“Because the science, tax policies, government incen tives, building practices, and innovative design and materials are rapidly chang ing, it is critically important to work collaboratively to ensure the best results over the project’s lifespan — for the community and its future

residents,” the flyer reads.

The flyer states that com munities with connections to nature have a higher sense of togetherness, lower crime rates, and experience great er and better mental health but unnatural and degraded environments contribute poor mental health, includ ing depression and a loss of sense of place.

“Make decisions in a thoughtful manner for our future,” Keck asks of the Town and developers.

“We are just trying to get something good going for Jamestown. We will all be impacted by the develop ment and we’re hoping to make our environment sus tainable for future genera tions,” Printup said. “We are trying to find a way that gets the message out to people who have not thought about the long-term of what this project will do. There are many more undeveloped acreage around Jamestown that will be impacted as well. Harvey Road has 35 acres that is in the process of being developed and not in a good way. The list goes on. This is a wake-up call.”

Looking around

Julia Ebel presented a brief history of the Friends of the Jamestown Public Library highlighting some of the many ways the group has raised funds to support the library. As a former student at Jamestown Public School, she recalled the school library was located where the auditorium is today.

Gary Haynes reported on renovations made to the old school in the late 1980s to convert it into a community library, always keeping the character of the 1915 building in mind.

“We are not through with things we are doing,” Ebel said about the Friends of the Library. “There is a lot more to do.”

Plans are already being discussed for outreach to new communities coming to the Jamestown area.
