Like many retirement celebrations, the one for Dr. Mark Yates held at Haynes-Inman Education Center May 11 was bitter sweet. After years as an orthopedic doctor, 15 of which he provided Doctor Clinics at HaynesInman, Yates is retiring. He has been practicing for more than 37 years and is board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery.
Yates graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in 1982. He completed his residency in orthopedic surgery and general surgery at Duke University Medical Center. He is a member of the North Carolina Orthopedic Society, Piedmont
Orthopedic Society, and American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
Students and staff gathered in the hallway across from the library to greet him as he arrived for his last day at the school. He had come to check several students, to evaluate their needs for medical equipment and provide prescriptions, but was surprised with a celebration in his honor.
In addition to making “house calls” to Haynes-Inman, Yates also provided the same service to Gateway Education Center in Greensboro for several years. After stopping his work there he was able to come to H-I once a month instead of every other month. Margaret Akingbade, PT, and Janina Boyce, OT, provided

learning life lessons
By nORMa B. dennIs FreeLANCe WrIter ndworddesign@gmail.com
There is no denying the importance of schools teaching skills such as reading, math, science and in today’s world, technology. But Guilford County Schools is carrying learning one step farther by putting emphasis on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to help students learn how to get along with others, regulate their emotions and work through their problems.
Schools were challenged to fit SEL into their curriculum with a contest to see how each did. The theme this year was Skills for Success — Ready for the Future.
Last year, Jamestown Elementary School received a trophy for first place in the elementary school division.
The school recently completed Spirit Week that focused on different activities to help point children toward a successful future. Every day, students dressed to carry out a different theme with the goal of building life skills.
On Monday, to consider preparations for the future, students and staff dressed in college attire. Tuesday found everyone dressed in bright colors pointing toward a bright future. Wednesday was

Supreme
Court makes it harder for EPA to police sewage discharges
By CaROL BROOKs FreeLANCe WrIter
cab1hp@gmail.com
After a close 5-4 vote, the United States Supreme Court made it harder for environmental regulators to limit water pollution
The court ruled March 4 that the Environmental Protection Agency overstepped its authority under the Clean Water Act with water pollution permits that contain vague requirements for maintaining water quality in a case in San Francisco about the discharge of raw sewage that sometimes occurs during heavy rains.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the Court that EPA can’t make cities and counties responsible for maintaining the quality of the water into which wastewater is discharged. He stat-
ed that the Clean Water Act (CWA) does not authorize the EPA to impose what the Court called “end-result” requirements in “permit provisions that do not spell out what a permittee must do or refrain from doing but instead make a permittee responsible for the quality of the water in the body of water into which the permittee discharges pollutants.
“Under the CWA the EPA and authorized state agencies may issue permits that impose requirements on entities that wish to discharge ‘pollutants’ (a broadly defined term) into the waters of the United States. Permits issued by these agencies include what the CWA calls ‘effluent limitations,’ that is, provisions that specify the

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s … the Goodyear Blimp!
No, it isn’t Superman but the Goodyear Blimp probably raises as many, if not more, comments like this when spotted in the sky.
This year is a special one for the blimp because it turns 100 years old on June 3. The first one was named Pilgrim.
The High Point Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) manages the federally required transportation planning process for the area’s highway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
The 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) includes developing goals and objections that are intended to identify the region’s visions for our future transportation network and will inform all aspects of the recommendations set forth in the MTP. The plan is updated every five years to adapt to population growth, land use pattern shifts, policy changes, new federal and state legislation and guidance, and other changes affecting the region. The current 2045 plan can be found at https://www.highpointnc. gov/2274/2045-Metropolitan-Transportation-Plan Community members have the opportunity to influence the vision and
direction of the 2050 MTP through digital engagement activities and in-person meetings.
The HPMPO consists of several committees. Councilmember Martha Wolfe represents Jamestown on the Transportation Advisory Committee. It is responsible for approving the transportation plans and reports prepared by HPMPO staff. If a plan or report is approved, and adopted then MPO staff can begin the implementation process.
The MPO coordinates transportation planning activities with federal, state, regional and local entities, which professional staff, elected officials, and appointed representatives represent.
The MTP defines the policies, programs and projects to be implemented through 2050 in order to improve
Goodyear blimp turns 100
The flying billboard — there are four of them — has been providing aerial coverage at major sporting events since the 1955 Rose Bowl.
As part of the blimp’s birthday celebration, Goodyear is giving three lucky fans, selected by lottery, the rare chance to fly aboard one of the current airships. There will also be flyovers in 100 cities across North America (including Charlotte) and Europe and appearances at cultural events.
Each lottery winner will receive a certificate for two passengers and
$3,000 for travel expenses to one of Goodyear’s airship hangars. The online application may be found at https://www.goodyear.com. The last day to enter is April 10.

Ask The Pastor
By Pas TOR
hi Carol,
Is Money the Root of All evIl?
Dear Pastor sid,
Hi Pastor Sid. Here is my question for you. This has bothered me for many years so I have to ask you. Is money really the root of all evil? I have heard this quoted before but I really want to know? Does the Bible teach this? — Carol
Thank you for asking this great question. My answer is very simple: No, the Bible does not teach this and does not say this. Here is a verse in First Timothy chapter six, verse 10, which is probably what you are talking about. Paul wrote this to Timothy and warned him, “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” So it is not money, but the love people have for it. The love of money will produce envy, covetousness, jealousy, hatred, and murder and a host of other evils.
We must have finances to take care of our earthly obligations, and here is what John Wesley said about money: Make all you can! Save all you can! And give all you can! So please do not empty your bank account, but use your finances to pay your bills, and be sure to thank God every day for the blessings He has sent your way.
If GoD Is love, then Why Do We hAve PAIn?
Dear Pastor sid,
A friend at work say that he does not believe in a God that allows people to suffer. Is this true? I have always thought that God is a God of love. Which is correct? — JB from Jamestown
hi JB in Jamestown,
You are correct in your question: God is love. The most known verse in the Bible is John 3:16, and it says that God loves people. But let’s not blame God for all the pain we suffer as humans. Adam and Eve sinned and God placed a curse punishment on them and all human since. So man brought pain into the world because he rebelled against God. Is it God’s fault when a drunk driver wrecks into another car and causes injury? Is it God’s fault when a person with a firearm kills a store clerk?
I think a better question might be: Why does God allow mankind to live in a dangerous world? Pain is used for two reasons: One, it warns us of potential problems, and two, pain will change you. Pain is useful because it reminds us of eternity. Just remember, that God is a God of love, but He is not obligated to take away all the pain in the world…yet. This He will do in heaven.
Ask The Pastor is written by Pastor Dr. Sid Stewart, from the Hoover’s Grove Wesleyan Church, 5399 Jackson Creek Rd., Denton. Pastor Sid’s teaching motto is: Making the Complex Simple.

quantities of enumerated pollutants that may be discharged. It is also common for permits to set out other steps that a discharger must take.” (Supreme Court ruling No. 23-753, City and County of San Francisco v. Environmental Protection Agency.)
The ruling will require EPA and state regulators to include more specific conditions in wastewater discharge permits, potentially adding delays and substantial expense to the permitting processes. It also will have an impact on the enforceability of “endresult” terms in current discharge permits.
According to sidley.com, “Under the CWA and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), EPA and authorized state agencies issue permits that impose requirements for the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States, including through wastewater and stormwater. NPDES permits contain various types of provisions, such as numerical effluent limitations, which may be technology or water-quality-
e Pa
based, and non-numerical or ‘narrative’ limitations (e.g., requiring the discharger to follow best management practices). Noncompliance with permit limitations exposes permittees to civil penalties and potential criminal prosecution.
“The Court held that the plain language of the CWA requires EPA to set specific limitations and that ‘end-result’ requirements exceed EPA’s authority. The Court explained that the statute does not permit EPA to set generalized ‘end-result’ requirements that, in essence, delegate responsibility to permittees to determine what must be done to meet water quality standards.” Instead, EPA must “itself determine what a facility should do to protect water quality, and the Agency has ample tools to obtain whatever information it needs to make that determination.”
This decision will have an impact on EPA’s NPDES permitting authority. Many state and local agencies have authorized NPDES permitting programs that are permitted to be more stringent than the minimum

safety, manage congestion, support land use plans and provide mobility choices in the region. It addresses the goals and objectives of the HPMPO, the various components of the transportation planning process, socio-economic and financial assumptions, and transportation-related environmental and health issues.
The new 2050 plan will analyze the transportation network to determine the region’s transportation needs. Those needs will then be matched with recommended transportation projects, which will be prioritized for funding. The results will be a comprehensive blueprint for effective transportation decision-marking and investment choices.
Title 23 of the United States Code includes planning factors for MPOs to consider when making transportation plans. In 1991, several factors were added to be considered when making transportation plans. There currently are 10 planning factors to be considered goals for the federal longrange transportation planning process.
In brief, these factors are: support the
detailed requests for student needs for which Yates would write a prescription. The two women were also present as Yates saw each student and were able to answer any questions he might have about them.
Dr. Ulysses Troxler began the practice of going to schools established for students with special needs in 1950 when he provided this invaluable service to students at the Greensboro Cerebral Palsy and Orthopedic School, which later became Gateway Education Center. Dr. John Dilworth took over the responsibility from him, followed by Dr. Yates. It could be said these doctors saw a need and chose to fill it.
“Not all doctors are qualified to treat patients with the needs of these students,” Yates said. “If no one fills their prescriptions, they cannot get what they need. Some students do not have family support or means to easily go to a doctor.”
“Parents would have to take a day off work and students miss a day of school without the doctor coming to school each month,” Akingbade added.
Yates has been unable to find a volunteer to take over his service at the school upon his retirement. But for a few shining moments on a sunny day in March that was forgotten and it was strictly a time of thanksgiving.
After a brief time when Yates once more filled prescriptions for some stu-
requirements of the CWA. “Presumably, however, those states and local agencies will need authority other than CWA Section 1311(b)(1)(C) for such terms. Furthermore, the decision does not necessarily provide grounds for reopening permits that were not timely challenged (but it could provide grounds to seek permit modifications or object to “end-result” conditions during the permit renewal process). It also likely will have an effect on the enforceability of ‘end-result’ requirements in existing permits.” (sidley. com)
Although the ruling related to San Francisco, as a Supreme Court ruling, it applies to all cities and states in the United States. Individual states cannot ignore these decisions. However, in the past, some southern states refused to follow the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954. What this mean to local complaints about the water quality and wastewater treatment is unknown at this time.

dents, a reception was held, with well wishes aplenty. Special guests included Yates’ wife, Kathy, and members of his medical staff.
Akingbade read a letter of thanks from the staff acknowledging the work he had done in the past and the joys of retirement that lay before him.
“The service you provided for our students and their families, as well as the community is incalculable in terms of time and money saved,” the letter read in part. Boyce carefully crafted a special
parody for an Individual Education Plan (IEP) laying out plans for Yates’ future and how he would be able to accomplish them. But of course, change is inevitable, and after 75 years change seems to be bringing an end to an era of in-school doctor assessments. The reaction of the staff and students at HaynesInman was a genuine indication that Yates’ service and gentle demeanor in which it was carried out will be missed.

career day with students dressing in something that represented what they wanted to be when grown. A photo booth was set up to capture the students’ visions.
Thursday showed success begins at Jamestown Elementary School with everyone sporting school gear and Friday was pajama day to follow one’s dreams.
The week included more that dress-up, however.
The media specialist created a display of books about success and skills for the future. Thursday night was SEL Parent Night at Chick-fil-A at Grandover Village. Guidance Counselor Lori Sugarman talked with families and provided strategies parents could use at home.
New this year was an adult SEL session, Deep Guided Relaxation & Stress Relief, for teachers and staff after school on Thursday.
“Every class received a piece of poster board on which to create a patch that came together into a ‘success’ quilt displayed on a wall in the front foyer,” said Raina Deno, a third grade
FroM The FronT
teacher and SEL coordinator who planned the week’s activities. “There were 24 pieces to the quilt.”
Every grade level also created a bulletin board using the year’s theme. Representatives from the county judged these for bragging rights.
“Everything we did was to get kids excited about the future,” Assistant Principal Benita Kluttz-Drye said. “We wanted to present a well-rounded experience for the students showing what they can be when they grow up.”
Teachers and staff gave kindness cards to students they witnessed go above and beyond to help others. This has been a yearlong project.
“We did it last year and based on how well it worked continued it again this year,” Deno said.
“Weekly drawings are held on Thursdays at each grade level and winners receive certificates and small prizes,” Kluttz-Drye explained. “Students get to announce their names and what they did during morning announcements.”
Every day all the classes read a book that discussed
the theme for the day and students completed activities relating to the book.
On Friday, speakers from the community talked about college and tradebased careers.
On March 15 schools throughout the county gathered at Jamestown Middle School to announce
winners of the SEL challenge. Jamestown Elementary School once more won first place for the lower grades.
Other winners included Eastern Guilford Middle School, Northwest Guilford High School and Sylvia Mendez Newcomers Specialty.
built the first airship in 1852. Over the years, they have served various purposes. During World War I, a specialized airship called a zeppelin was used for military operations. Soon after, Goodyear Tires began producing airships for the U.S. Navy. These were used to track enemy submarines during the war. In the early 20th century, many explorers used airships for global travel. Some even reached the North Pole.
Metlife Blimp
Insurance company
MetLife also had a fleet of blimps at one time but no longer offers aerial cover-
age of sporting events like PGA golf events, as the company reassesses marketing strategies.
In 2009, during the Wyndham Championship, Jamestown News reporter Carol Brooks had the opportunity to ride in the MetLife Blimp Snoopy
One as it flew over Sedgefield Country Club. There was also Snoopy Two and Three. All were spokesdogs for the company. Following are excerpts from her experiences.
As I’ve aged, I’ve developed a fear of heights. Vertigo sets in when I change a ceiling light. I remember standing at the top of a ski
slope years ago and wondering how I’d get down. I can’t even do down escalators. Why in the world was I going up in a blimp?
Because it was there. I figured, what could be safer than flying with World War I flying ace Snoopy?
While at the Wyndham Championship, the blimp was moored at little Causey Airport near Liberty. PTI airport was too crowded.
The first MetLife blimp went into service in 1987 as part of the company’s advertising partnership with the Peanuts comic strip and has become a staple of sporting events. The aeri-
al views allow viewers to judge the difficulty faced by players from the unique overhead vantage point as well as view surrounding areas. Almost the entire golf course can be seen at one time from a blimp.
It takes two days to inflate with 69,000 cubic feet of helium and then has to be checked and certified. There is no framework inside the envelope. When deflated, it folds relatively flat.
Flying is subject to the weather. What might be a beautiful day to spectators could cause trouble in the air. Invisible pockets of warm air, called thermals, rise and cause the blimp to seemingly bounce in the sky, undetectable from the ground. Pilots are in constant radio communication with weather services and will leave an event if a bad storm is imminently predicted.
They cannot fly in high altitudes or over challenging terrain or oceans. They can, however, fly at night.
The pilot uses rudder pedals to steer left or right and wheels on either side of the seat to control altitude.
It may seem that the blimp is stationary over an event, but it is really moving at all times and the pilot is constantly correcting
( a bove) a fter reading the book The Magical yet, students created pictures and tags to remember the story. (at left) These kindness winners got to pick their favorite teacher to “pie.” not sure how kind this was, but it did prove fun for the students and teachers.
“This has been an exciting event at our school,” Deno said. “I hope that our students learned that success can be measured in various ways. It is more than having a job and a big paycheck. It is also about what kind of people we are and how we treat others.
“I hope our students take this week’s lessons about learning from mistakes, taking chances and recognizing opportunities, and understanding that they can learn anything they put their mind to, and use them as building blocks to become socially and emotionally successful adults.”
direction or altitude.
According to MetLife’s web site, there is no home base for the blimps. They log over 120,000 miles a year covering nearly 60 events. Each airship has a 14-member crew consisting of two pilots and 12 crewmen. The ground crew includes electronic engineers, mechanics, licensed radio technicians and riggers. There is also a support staff of five that moves the blimp and crew between locations.
They are moored to a mast overnight at area airports. On board, the crew and a cameraman (and any passengers) ride in the enclosed gondola hanging below the helium-filled envelope. Producers in the on-course control booth can suggest a shot to the cameraman in the sky. The cameraman then relays information to the pilot who maneuvers the airship into position.
The blimp’s slow cruising speed makes for a steady camera platform. Each blimp carries state-ofthe-art camera equipment weighing approximately 250 pounds. The nose of each gondola houses a gyrostabilized camera with an 80x zoom lens, capable of tracking a golf ball in flight.
Pilots have to be aware of the position of the sun so the blimp does not cast a shadow that would bother players.
Will they continue to fly?
The lifespan of blimps may be limited as drones can now capture events and need only one operator. Blimps need a crew of at least 20, including ground and flight crew.
But what would a golf event be without a blimp and its unobtrusive whirring engine noise? Blimps have changed the way we view golf.

The Residence (tv-MA) —
This whodunnit series hails from the production company Shondaland, which is run by television guru Shonda Rhimes (Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and many more). Led by the charming Uzo Aduba (Orange Is the New Black), the eight-episode show follows detective Cordelia Cupp as she’s tasked with a murder that occurred during a state dinner in the White House. With the victim being the White House Chief Usher A.B. Wynter (Giancarlo Esposito), Cordelia must inspect 157 suspects, investigate about 132 rooms, and keep the White House from falling into complete disarray. Sounds easy enough, right? All eight episodes premiere March 20. (Netflix)

Good American Family (tv-MA) — This limited drama series has two heavy hitters in television — Ellen Pompeo of Grey’s Anatomy fame and Mark Duplass from shows like The Mindy Project and The Morning Show. The two leads were great picks to take on the controversial subject matter in this story. A dramatized version of Natalia Grace’s real life, this series follows 7-year-old Natalia (Imogen Faith Reid), a girl with dwarfism who gets adopted by Michael and Kristine Barnett. As the Barnetts welcome her into their family, they notice certain oddities with her, which lead them to think that she isn’t actually a young girl but a full-fledged adult pretending to be a child, a la Orphan (2009). The first two episodes will be released on March 19. (Hulu)

rich in flavor, light on the wallet: Meet Mujadara
By PaTTI dIaMOnd
oN A DIMe
Are you ready for a culinary journey to the Middle East? Buckle up, buttercup, and bring your taste buds, because today, we’re making Mujadara (moo-zhaDAH-rah), a simple, satisfying dish of lentils, rice and caramelized onions that prove frugal can also be fabulous.
Mujadara has been enjoyed across Lebanon, Jordan and Syria for centuries, and for good reason. It’s hearty, flavorful and budgetfriendly. Traditionally known as a “poor man’s meal,” don’t let the name fool you — as with most “peasant food,” this dish is so comforting and delicious, it’ll make you feel like royalty. Think of it as the Middle Eastern equivalent of mac and cheese: cozy, familiar and always a hit.
At its core, Mujadara is a lesson in culinary alchemy. A handful of pantry staples — lentils, rice, onions and spices — transform into something far greater than the sum of their parts. The secret?
Those deeply caramelized onions. They add a richness that takes this humble dish to the next level.
For this version, I’ve opted for brown rice over white to boost the nutritional value, though white basmati works too. Just check the recipe notes for adjustments. The lentils provide protein, the rice offers fiber, and the onions bring an irresistible depth of flavor and sweetness that ties it all together.
Mujadara is best served with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of tahini sauce, a scattering of fresh
herbs and, if you like a bit of heat, a spoonful of your favorite spicy sauce. You can enjoy it hot, warm or at room temperature, making it an excellent make-ahead meal.
MUJADARA
(lentils and Rice with Caramelized onions) yield: 4 generous servings total time: 45 minutes
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons Kosher salt, divided 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
5 cups water
1 cup brown basmati rice, rinsed and drained
1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sliced green onions, divided 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, divided Plain yogurt, for serving (or tahini sauce for a vegan option)
In a large saucepan, combine garlic, bay leaves, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and black pepper with water. Bring to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in the rice, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, add lentils and stir. Return to a simmer, cover and cook until liquid is absorbed and grains are tender (about 20-23 minutes).

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and crisp at the edges (about 20-30 minutes). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with remaining salt. When the lentils and rice are done, drain excess water if needed, remove bay leaves and mash garlic cloves against the pot’s side. Add 3/4 of the green onions and cilantro, fluff with a fork and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a serving dish, top with caramelized onions and garnish with remaining green onions and herbs. Serve with yogurt or tahini sauce.
Diva Tips - Rice Swap: If you use white basmati rice, cook the
lentils first for 10 minutes before adding the rice to ensure both cook evenly. Whether you’re looking for a nutritious meatless meal or just want to expand your global recipe repertoire, Mujadara is a must-try. Simple, satisfying and steeped in tradition, it’s proof that the best meals don’t have to be complicated — or expensive.
