Garbage pickup method, dates to change

By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

The Town of Jamestown is talking trash these days. Often, that is an offensive thing but this time it is about real garbage and recycling. And the outcome is positive for the town as well as residents.

New 96-gallon green plastic wheeled cans, or toters, to be used for solid waste will be delivered beginning the first week in April. They will join the 65-gallon blue cans already in use for recycling.

“We have talked about this for over 12 years,” said Town Manager Matthew Johnson. “There are several reasons why the Town has decided to make this change now. Crows and other critters often tear open bags at the curb, leaving unsightly litter that can wash into storm drains that drain into lakes and streams.

“Running solid waste trucks twice a week to collect the same volumes of waste creates unnecessary wear on the equipment, roadways and staff members. It also uses twice the fuel necessary to complete the same amount of work.”

Rather than two pickups of solid-waste garbage per week, there will only be one, on the same day as recycling pickup. The town has been divided as shown on the map with those in the blue area having Tuesday pickup and those in the green area having Wednesday pickup. Solid waste and recycling will only be picked up those two days. Guilford and Oakdale roads are the basic dividing lines. Residents on opposite sides of Guilford Road will have their pickups on different days.

Pickup of yard waste will be Thursdays and Fridays.

trucks is the sixth most dangerous job in America.

“In order to help protect staff members, we have elected to move to an automated collection system using cans and trucks with lift arms [for garbage pickup],” he said. He added that for the first few weeks there would be an extra person on the truck to handle problems. Recycling trucks are not automated at this time but the Town plans to add a new truck in the near future.

Recycling in the blue cans began about four-and-a-half years ago and has gone well, according to Public Services Director Paul Blanchard.

“There is less trash on the curb now.”

At that time, solid-waste garbage was still put out in bags for pickup. With the green cans, garbage may still be put into bags

Inclusive playground coming to Jamestown Park

By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

Many of us have fond childhood memories of going to a playground, swinging on the swings, using the hot metal slide in the summer, joining a friend on the seesaw, trying not to fly off the dizzying and dangerous merry-go-round spinner and climbing on the monkey bars. But imagine if you have a mobility problem that prevents any of these activities. That’s where an inclusive playground comes in.

Town officials realized there was a demand and need for allinclusive and accessible playground equipment at Jamestown Park as they worked on

the Parks & Recreation Master Plan in 2021. The town is home to two education centers for children with cognitive and/or physical disabilities. Haynes-Inman serves students with special needs, most of whom are considered medically fragile with significant disabilities. C.J. Greene serves students with severe and profound cognitive development delays.

“The specific recreational needs of these local students, alongside the need for replacement of our well-loved existing playground, provides an opportunity to serve the full community with a universallydesigned recreation area,” said

Council to meet March 21

By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

It is odd to read the agenda for a Jamestown Town Council meeting and see no new business listed, but that is how the March 21 agenda reads.

The first two orders of business following approval of the consent agenda are resolutions, one honoring former councilmember and mayor Billy Ragsdale. The resolution will be presented to his sons, Will and George. The second resolution honors Jay McQuillan for his service on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee.

bodies struggle to grow without proper nutrition, which makes learning more difficult. This in turn affects children’s futures.

Food insecurity continues to be a major problem nationally and locally. In Guilford County one out of five residents are food insecure, two out of three public school children qualify for free or reduced meals, the Greensboro-High Point area is 14th in the United States for food insecurity and there are 24 food deserts.

The free and reduced-price meals that children receive at school are helpful, but not sufficient. Children’s brains and

On the second Wednesday of each month beginning at 10 a.m. a mobile Fresh Food Market is set up in the parking lot of the Ragsdale Family YMCA at 900 Bonner Dr. in Jamestown. The Y is one of 20 locations in the Piedmont Triad that hosts these free mobile pantries, part of the Out of the Garden Project. Approximately 65 pounds of fresh produce, bread, meat and shelf-stable items are provided

to families who come to the site.

Families in need can just show up and give their name and address.

In 2009, Don and Kristy Milholin began providing 6-10 families with a small bag of food each Friday so they would have enough to eat over the weekend. This eventually grew into the Out of the Garden Project, which today distributes approximately 325,000 meals each month.

Last year, the project distributed four million meals.

Under old business, Finance Director Judy Gallman will present three Capital Project Ordinances for adoption. The first is for the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) project followed by the Accessibility for Parks (AFP) project. These are for an inclusive playground at Jamestown Park. See related story on the inclusive playground on page 1.

Two ordinances relate to the American Rescue Plan (ARPA) (Guilford County) projects. A portion of the funds will go to sidewalk projects and a portion to a stormwater project.

The Town Council meets the third Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. in the Civic Center at Town Hall. The public is invited to attend.

Town responds to 1,4-Dioxane claims from local blogger

JAMestOWN, NC — (March 8, 2023) – the town of Jamestown responds to misleading information being circulated on social media outlets regarding a ‘massive discharge of 1,4-dioxane in drinking water’.

Recently, information has been circulating on social media regarding a ‘massive discharge of 1,4-Dioxane in drinking water’. The “news article” is in fact an opinion piece written by a local blogger and shared via a paid press release service called ‘IssueWire’. IssueWire is not an official news outlet. However, it is easy to understand that some confusion could arise because of the “official” appearance of the presentation style. First and foremost, the Town of Jamestown believes that the safety of its citizens is of utmost importance and would like to provide citizens with accurate information to help dispel some of the disinformation contained within the article.

There are some chemicals which have come to the attention of regulating agencies which are known as emerging compounds, which means that the regulating agencies are just beginning to create regulations which address them.

There are two main compounds of interest in our

area currently – 1,4-dioxane and PFAS. According to the NC Department of Environmental Quality, 1,4-Dioxane is a clear liquid that has historically been used as a solvent stabilizer and is currently used for a wide variety of industrial and manufacturing purposes.

PFAS (Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) are manmade chemicals used for more than 50 years to make products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, and water. These are used in products as diverse as cosmetics, pizza boxes, microwave popcorn bags, non-stick coatings on cookware, firefighting foam, and waterproofing and stain-resistant cloth. In the past several years, there have been growing concerns about their health effects and these items are considered ‘emerging compounds’ which will require further study by regulating agencies. The EPA currently identifies dioxane as “likely to be carcinogenic to humans.” This finding is based primarily on toxicology studies conducted using rodents. EPA’s most recent analysis, completed in 2013, concluded that at a concentration of 0.35 parts per billion (ppb) 1,4-dioxane (about one drop of water in three [3] Olympic-size swimming pools) over a lifetime exposure may lead to negative health effects.

If a person drinks the recommended daily amount of water with that level of 1,4-dioxane for a lifetime, it is estimated that they would have a 1 in a million risk for cancer.

The Town of Jamestown is a ‘purchase system’ and purchases all of the water it provides to our citizens through several agreements between the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority (PTRWA) and the cities of High Point and Greensboro. The majority of our water is sourced from PTRWA’s Randleman Lake and transmitted via lines owned by both High Point and Greensboro. Similarly, the Town is a capital partner in the

City of High Point’s Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Being a capital partner means that the Town owns a stake (in our case, the Town owns approximately 8%) of the available treatment capacity. The Town does not participate in the daily operations of the WWTP and is not responsible for providing public notices or for receiving potential violations from regulating authorities.

The water delivered to Jamsetown’s citizens is extremely safe. Currently, the Town and its partner agencies routinely monitor for over 150 contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State Laws. The most recent Water Quality Report can be found on the Town’s website at: https://storage.googleapis.com/dbc-jcity/files/pdf/ ConsumerConfidenceReport2021-1656705149.pdf

It is important to note that the Town of Jamestown has not received any violations for its drinking water in the past year. To be proactive, however, the Town and its partner agencies are monitoring for emerging compounds such as PFAS and 1,4-dioxane in surface waters such as Randleman Lake and several of our partner agencies have already started accessing treatment strategies to address emerging contaminants.

The IssueWire article leads readers to believe the City of High Point is intentionally discharging 1,4-dioxane. It is important to understand that the City of High Point (nor any other municipality) does not create 1,4-dioxane or PFAS. Rather, as a wastewater treatment facility, it receives these compounds in the waste stream. The Town and its partner agencies have already been working with NCDEQ to determine ways to best address the treatment of these emerging compounds in the future, including the regulation of industrial users and dischargers of these compounds. Town of Jamestown staff reached

out to NCDEQ’s Division of Water Resources which provided the following statement as it relates specifically to the High Point Eastside WWTP (which discharges directly into Randleman Lake):

The Dept. of Environmental Quality’s Division of Water Resources has been performing weekly sampling of the treated wastewater (effluent) at Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant for 1,4-dioxane since June 2021. Additionally, Eastside operators are required to submit monthly sampling reports to the State. DWR has been evaluating the data and levels of 1,4-dioxane in Randleman Lake and is currently in the process of drafting a permit renewal that will include 1,4-dioxane permit limits. The 1,4 dioxane is an emerging compound that has not always been regulated or monitored in municipal wastewater. The state has a narrative standard for 1,4 dioxane and as data is collected limits are added to permits to protect water supplies. DWR has encouraged the City to work with Significant Industrial Users that discharge 1,4-dioxane to the Eastside collection system and ultimately to the WWTP to achieve source reduction of the compound.

In summary, the Town takes its resposiblity to protect its citizens seriously.

Town staff works around the clock to ensure that residents have access to safe drinking water, sanitary sewer, solid waste collection, police and fire protection, and a host of other services. Staff also believe in the delivery of accurate information to all citizens and work tirelessly to dispel misinformation and disinformation spread via social media and other outlets.

Town staff is the appropriate resource to discuss the operations of the Town and the staff works to make themselves available to all citizens to answer questions or to provide information promptly.

Every month, Out of the Garden Project volunteers collect food, sort it and package it for families, then deliver it to the various sites to help children and families in local communities.

“Ragsdale Y started working with the Out of the Garden Project in the fall of 2022 when the organization was looking for a location near Jamestown/High Point to hold a mobile Fresh Food Market,” said Marlee Rindal, executive director. “Being on the GTCC campus was an advantage to reach the students also.”

Rindal noted that the mobile market aligns with the Y’s social responsibility focus. Several members volunteer regularly with the food market at that location.

“We are here to serve and support our community in their needs and food insecurity is among the needs in our area,” Rindal said. “We are happy that we can work with Out of the Garden. Partnerships between non-profits are a great way to expand our reach in the community for both organizations. We hope to continue this partnership for a long time but we know we will stay through the summer for sure.”

Out of the Garden offers a website where people can sign up to volunteer.

“This is a story of hope,” said Don Milholin in a blog post. “With your help, we have many more chapters to write, and the families we help have better lives to live.”

and placed in the cans. But do not put recycling into bags and then into the cans.

Town staff has met with homeowners associations and two specific neighborhoods, Quarterpath Trace and the Riverwalk communities as well as residents on Gannaway Street. These locations will receive a smaller 65-gallon green can because of the difficulty in getting the cans to their backyards.

“Our town is currently at a capacity where staff has a difficult time finishing the garbage routes and providing service to all households twice a week,” Johnson said.

“Knowing that growth will occur is imperative to solve these problems ahead of time because once the growth does come, we need to have everything operating smoothly before we add additional customers.”

“Staff will put notices on the can as they see issues,” Blanchard said. “Hopefully it will be a short learning process.”

“We will be more enforcement-heavy in making certain the items that can be recycled are recycled,” Johnson added.

Residents can start using the green cans as soon as received but the first pickup is officially April 10.

The Town has an aggressive promotional campaign to alert customers of the changes, including mailers, a video, social media and the Town newsletter. There is a lot of information about the new garbage and recycling pickups available at www.jamestowncando-ncgov. Here you can read the frequently-asked questions (FAQs), watch the video, check the map to learn your pickup date and print the holiday pickup schedule.

Some things to note:

• Solid waste and recycling will now be done on the same day. See the map for your pickup day.

• All trash should be placed at the street no later than 7 a.m. on pickup days.

• Do not pile trash outside of either can. It will not be picked

up. Everything must fit inside.

• Do not put bags in the recycling can but they may be used in the garbage can.

• Bulk pickup day is the first Thursday each month, but if you want items picked up sooner, call 336-454-1138 for a bulk item pickup. Fees may apply.

Sister Lucy Hennessy honored during St. Patrick’s Day Tea

denni S freela N ce writer ndworddesign@gmail.com

Tradition plays a large part in the lives of families and organizations. The Pennybyrn retirement community is no exception. On March 12, the Poor Servants of the Mother of God Catholic Congregation followed one of their traditions by hosting its 55th St. Patrick’s Day Tea.

The Ilderton family served as lead sponsor for the event, in memory of Eleanor Ilderton.

The color of the day was green, of course, as residents, donors, volunteers and others gathered to enjoy Irish fare and coffee along with a performance by dancers from Lismore Academy of Irish Dance, The food and entertainment was certainly enjoyed by those attending, but the highlight of the afternoon broke with tradition. It was the presentation of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine to Sister Lucy Hennessy, mission leader and chair of the board for Pennybyrn.

Senator Michael Garrett presented the award on behalf of Gov. Roy Cooper. North Carolina governors began presenting this award

in 1963. It is North Carolina’s highest honor and is reserved for those who have made significant contributions to the state and their communities through exemplary service and exceptional accomplishments.

Before handing the framed document recognizing Sister Hennessy as an Order of the Long Leaf Pine recipient, Garrett read the certificate including the official North Carolina toast printed at the bottom:

Here’s to the land of the long leaf pine, The summer land where the sun doth shine. Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great, Here’s to “Down Home,” the Old North State!

Receiving the Order of the Long Leaf Pine came as a total surprise to Hennessy.

“This was all done behind my back,” Hennessy said of the many people who had a hand in making the award a reality. “It is beyond anything I ever imagined. I had heard of the award in the past and thought it was a great thing for someone else.”

Chris Greene, a resident of Pennybyrn and long time supporter of the organization, was instrumental in the nomination of Hennessy for the award.

“Sister Lucy personifies the great love and care given to patients and residents over the years,” she said. “With the help of Gov. Cooper, we are pleased to honor her for dedication to Pennybyrn’s mission and to the greater community.”

The Poor Servants of the Mother of God, a Catholic congregation of Sisters, founded Maryfield, Inc. “Pennybyrn” in 1947. The 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serves over 450 senior adult residents with a mission to “Demonstrate God’s love for the lives we touch.”

Through the years, Pen-

nybyrn has grown from a small convalescent home into a Life Plan Community (LPC) that occupies 71 acres in High Point (at the edge of Jamestown).

Rich Newman, president of Pennybyrn, feels blessed to have served alongside Sister Hennessy for over 25 years.

“Sister Lucy has an incredible heart and has led Pennybyrn to great levels of service and care over the decades,” Newman said. “She has a love for the residents, families, and staff that has set the standard for us all as our team lives out our mission.”

Who teaches us how to live — and die?

Alzheimer’s.

Just the word scares you to death, doesn’t it?

A little more than 10 years ago, I wrote a column about my experience with this disease and am sharing my thoughts with you again. I had just seen an article that described and gave examples of a new mental test that can make a very reliable preliminary diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s.

I read every word. I answered every question. I will tell you why in a minute.

My family has a long interest in this disease. It slowly robs its victims of the ability to remember and to reason. Then it takes their personalities and slowly steals their lives away.

My father was a victim. After his death, my mother spent the last part of her life comforting the families of victims, organizing support groups, and raising money to find the causes of Alzheimer’s.

But there is more to it, more that explains why any article about Alzheimer’s always stops me in my tracks.

More than 50 years ago my father, only 58 years old, learned he was afflicted with early onset Alzheimer’s. A successful president of Davidson College, widely admired and loved, he seemed happy with his work and ready for many years of additional service to his college and community.

It never seemed fair.

But, of course, the killer diseases that

GREENSBORO, N.C. (March 9, 2023) - Eastern Music Festival (EMF), Greensboro’s nationally recognized classical music festival and summer educational program, announces its 62nd season this summer. The season will run June 24 through July 29, 2023.

“After a successful return to full capacity in 2022, EMF looks forward to another summer on the historic Guilford College campus full of the sounds of familiar classics, new works, and inspired faces of Young Artists learning with our esteemed festival faculty,” says Chris Williams, EMF Executive Director.

The 2023 season will feature 60+ performances by distinguished artists and ensembles

bring about premature death never seem fair.

Now, why did I try all the questions on that test that made the preliminary check for Alzheimer’s? Well, we all worry sometimes, don’t we? We worry about losing little bits of memory and wonder if perhaps, God forbid, it might be Alzheimer’s?

I worry, but then I think about my dad and it is more than worry.

I am now many years older than my dad was when he found out about his Alzheimer’s.

So I think about it a lot. It is not so much worrying about losing my memory. In fact, I did well on the test. Instead, I mourn the loss of what my father would have taught me had he been spared.

My father’s life was full of monuments for me. He showed me how to live and serve with grace and honor. His example was a good one, all the way until Alzheimer’s brought him down.

Now I ask myself, “Who teaches me how to live the rest of my life? Whose example do I follow now?”

I miss not knowing how he would have dealt with all the things life brings in late middle age and retirement years. Even now, when normal old age would almost certainly have brought about his death even if Alzheimer’s had not taken him so early, I miss most of all not having had the chance to watch and

at its home location in Guilford Colleges’ Dana Auditorium, as well as other locations in Greensboro, including one performance in Boone, North Carolina. The schedule for concerts at EMF this summer will feature:

Tuesdays: Chamber Music with the Eastern Chamber Players

Wednesdays: Signature Performances featuring EMF Faculty Artists

Thursday and Fridays: EMF Young Artists Orchestras

Saturdays: Eastern Festival Orchestra led by maestro Gerard Schwarz Student chamber recitals and piano recitals throughout the season The Joseph M. Bryan, Jr. Festival Orchestra Series this season will feature renowned solo-

learn how he would have faced his normal aging and death.

You see, Alzheimer’s stole not just his life. It stole his ability to face death and deal with it.

I wish I could have had his example. I think it would have been a good one. But I will never know.

Meanwhile, I can watch and learn from others.

Former governor and senator Terry Sanford, for instance. When Sanford received a diagnosis of “inoperable cancer,” he turned it into a challenge to live to the fullest until his death in 1998. He figured out new ways to persuade people to support good causes. He seemed to be telling us, “I am going to live a lot longer than you might think, but however long it is, it is going to be good.”

And now, former president Jimmy Carter, even in Hospice care, continues to seek ways to help make life better for the rest of us.

I like those examples.

When the time comes, I hope I can follow them.

And, if I do, I know that my dad would be proud.

Scott Coakley, parks superintendent.

With these needs in mind, and with the support of the two schools, the Town applied for – and was rewarded – an Accessibility for Parks (AFP) grant from the state in the amount of $500,000, the maximum amount awarded.

“We do plan on working with Haynes-Inman and C.J. Greene schools,” Coakley added. “Both schools provided letters of support that I feel was a crucial element in our application. Meeting with the schools will be a key factor in the equipment we install. There are a lot of options, and we want to make sure we get the equipment that can be loved for years to come.”

The Town’s portion of the 1-5 grant has been covered by another grant from the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF), which the Town received last year. For every $5 spent of grant money spent, the Town must spend $1.

The current playground is by far the most-used equipment in the park and “has been abused with love” for nearly 20 years, Coakley said. He added that the existing playground will be replaced by a design for children of all abilities, not just those with disabilities. It will encourage physical, sensory and social opportunities. The new equipment will enhance strength, balance and flexibility.

The surface of the playground will be rubberized with surrounding concrete. Coakley’s staff plans to install yard games, such as hopscotch, for extra play options.

The inclusive playground will be along East Fork Road as it is now, between the park entrances. Surrounding it will be a re-located volleyball court, basketball court and a new dog park. The Town has three years to complete the project.

In other news about Jamestown Park, Coakley said WiFi has been installed at the shelters and soccer complex. WiFi will be added at Wrenn Miller Park in the future.

New software will soon allow guests to go online to reserve shelters and fields as well as pay online.

An Irish Twist on Potato Pancakes for St. Patrick’s Day

I came across an old Irish rhyme that goes: “Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan, if you can’t make boxty, you’ll never get a man!” And thought, What? I don’t need another man, but this “boxty” thing intrigues me.

So, this year I unearthed and reworked an old favorite, Irish Boxty, the holy grail of pancakes for potato lovers! They’re made with a mix of mashed and grated potatoes. They’re crispy on the edges, pillowy and creamy in the middle and exactly the kind of peasant food we love — hearty, economical and endlessly versatile.

Boxties can be served sweet or savory, just as you might serve biscuits alongside a meal. They can be enjoyed simply with butter or sprinkled with sugar, as a side dish for any meal, or as a base for wonderful toppings.

Our boxties are served with sausage and topped with a buttery, boozy mushroom mixture called Drunken Mushrooms. In honor of St. Paddy’s Day, I added a handful of green spinach and used Irish whisky to deglaze the pan, but you could use other liquors or even just a splash of broth.

irisH BoXty

yield: 4 to 6 servings

total time: 1 hour

2 pounds (6 to 8) russet potatoes

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for water

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup whole milk

1 large egg

3 to 4 tablespoons butter

Peel half of the potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces. Place them into a medium

saucepan, cover with salted water by an inch, then bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the cooked potatoes, mash until smooth and place into a large mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, as those potatoes are cooking, preheat oven to 200 F. Peel the remaining potatoes and grate with a box grater. Wrap the raw grated potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add the grated potatoes to the bowl with the mashed potatoes. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, pepper, milk and egg, stirring until incorporated.

Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot. Melt half the butter, then, cooking in small batches, add the batter 1/2 cup at a time, flattening the boxties with a spatula. Turn them occasionally, and cook until golden, about 8 minutes per batch. Make sure you get the edges browned and crispy, because they are to die for. Place cooked boxties on a baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep warm as you repeat with the remaining patties, adding butter to the pan as needed.

drunKen musHrooms

yield: 2 cups

total time: 15 minutes

2 tablespoons butter

2 cloves minced garlic

1 pound mushrooms (button or cremini), thinly sliced

1 tablespoon liquor of choice (marsala, irish whisky, sherry or broth)

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 cup fresh spinach, optional

Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter. Place minced garlic in the skillet and saute for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and saute, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are cooked through and golden. Add liquor of choice or broth, should you prefer sober mushrooms. Add thyme and stir, letting the liquor evaporate. Add spinach, if using. Stir to wilt the spinach. Serve with boxty. While I can’t guarantee you’ll get a man, I guarantee you’re in for a treat. This Irish Boxty recipe is simple, delicious and makes the best potato pancakes. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Lifestyle

Here's A Tip

• Check your local newspaper or city/county government for programs that provide free or near free water barrels or trees. Many areas have a program, and they really do help keep your water costs down if you have flowers or vegetable gardens.

• To keep the edges of lettuce from browning, tear it or use a plastic knife sold just for this purpose. Metal will make the edges brown.

• “If you want same-size cookies, roll and freeze your dough for 10-15 minutes. Most doughs will harden enough to slice into perfectly uniform slices, and the freezing doesn’t really affect cooking time too much. (Watch your first batch, though.)” — R.L. in Missouri

• If you are reattaching a button to shorts or pants, try using dental floss, the unwaxed kind. It’s much stronger and can hold the button better than regular thread. Use a marker to darken it if the color is an issue.

• “Shaving cream can be used as a spot remover for many carpets. Use only a small amount, and follow up with a damp cloth.” — D.L. in New Brunswick, Canada

• “To prevent a skin from forming on the top of a can of leftover paint, you can inflate a balloon and stick it in the can, cut a piece of wax paper to fit or store the can inverted, so that the skin will form on the bottom and stay there when you flip it.” — W.B. in Alabama
