lydia’s BridGe ProJeCt wins moBi award
The Town of Jamestown received a second-place award from the NCDOT “Mobi” (Mobility) Awards committee recently in Raleigh.
The Mobi Awards honor towns, cities and counties that have completed multimodal transportation projects that spurred economic development, improved public health, and enhanced communities. The Lydia’s Bridge project certainly qualified because it covers pedestrian, bicycle and rail transportation.
“Lydia’s Bridge” was a 0.6mile sidewalk project to revitalize an abandoned road creating safe, multimodal access to downtown Jamestown for necessity and leisure. The project, which was completed in 2021, required significant forethought from town leaders and collaboration with the railroad to provide a safe route for bicycles and pedestrians while showcasing and preserving the history of Jamestown’s most infamous ghost story.
One aim of the Town of Jamestown leaders is to have a walkable town. That includes connectivity of neighborhoods, even those on the other side of the railroad tracks.
In recent years, neighborhoods and schools on the east side of the railroad have been opened up due the creation of the Lydia’s Bridge tunnel. Now, Yorkleigh residents have a safe way to walk and connect with downtown Jamestown.

Town welcomes Colón as planning director
By CARol BRook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com
The Town of Jamestown has a new planning director. He is José Colón Rivera, but he goes by José Colón. The difference in names comes from his roots in Puerto Rico, where the last name is the mother’s name.
Colón, 35, was born and raised in Puerto Rico to a Puerto Rican mother and Dominican Republic father. He is the youngest of three brothers.
“I came to the United States when I was 10 years old with my father with the main goal of becoming bilingual and getting a college education in the United States,” he said.
He attended the University of North Carolina Greensboro and has a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Geography-Urban Planning and Studio Art and a post-baccalaureate certificate in Urban Economic Development.
“As a child, I’d always been fascinated by maps and studying the world,” Colón said of his interest in planning and public service.
“It wasn’t until I was in college when I took my first geography urban planning class that my interest in city/town planning grew. I was fascinated on the history of cities and towns, urban theories and process of towns and cities growing and forming from initial human settlements.
“Public service runs in my family (my mom was social worker and my paternal grandfather was a town mayor in Dominican Republic). I personally love being able to help and assist members of the community through my public service.”
Colón has over 12 years of planning and zoning experience in the Piedmont Triad.
His first full-time position was as a planner in Rockingham County before becoming the Central Permitting Supervisor in Davidson
Jamestown Park to hold 50th Anniversary event
By CARol BRook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com
Fifty years is a long time and something to be celebrated. On Oct. 25, from 1 to 3 p.m., there will be an event recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Jamestown Park at the clubhouse, 7041 East Fork Road.
There will be free hot dogs and the first 200 visitors will get a free gift. Cakes by B’s Blue House Bakery is providing a cake. Come out and enjoy the trivia games during the event.
The Jamestown Golf Association (JGA) will present a special gift to the Town.
Scott Coakley, Parks and Recreation director, is hoping former employees, golf pros, Town Council and Parks and Recreation Committee members will be able to return for the event.
“We’re sending out invitations,” Coakley said.
The vision for Jamestown Park began in November of 1967 when Jamestown Mayor Tom Ragsdale,
Sr., and the Town Council voted to appoint a Recreation Advisory Committee to study the recreational needs of the town. The Committee found that “there were no parks, playgrounds or open space facilities owned by the Town of Jamestown.
The committee recommended “private developers could give desirable land to the Town for recreation use in all newly-created subdivisions. Where this land cannot be secured from the developer, the Town should insist on land being reserved for recreation, and the Town purchase this area when funds can be appropriated for this purpose.”

P&R hears updates, plans

The Jamestown Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee does not meet monthly so there was a lot to catch up on at the Oct. 7 meeting.
Parks and Recreation Director Scott Coakley spoke about the new playground that is being installed at Jamestown Park.
“We are still working on the playground design,” he told the committee but did show them a sketch of a possible design. He there would be six swings total, two belt, two mommy and me, and two with harnesses.”
The old basketball court was broken up and removed and the new court should be poured this week.
The nature trail will be located between the baseball and golf course parking lots. It has been roughed in but the final design has not been determined. There will be educational signs along the trail.
“All of the funding is coming from grants,” Coakley
said of all of the playground changes, including the new basketball court and nature trail. “It’s totally funded.” Rebecca Ashby, grants administrator for the Town, has been responsible for getting these grants.
“We received an Accessible Parks Grant for an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compatible restroom,” Ashby said. “It’s $500,000 plus a state match so it is totally funded also.”
The Accessible Parks Grant Program provides $12.5 million in matching grants for parks and recreation to benefit people living with disabilities in North Carolina. Local governments, including public authorities, are eligible to apply. This program is administered through the Division of Parks and Recreation and the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund.
“There is over $4 million in APG funding remaining so they are doing another cycle,” Ashby said, noting
Area retirement community aids another after hurricane
By no R mA B. denni S freela N ce writer ndworddesign@gmail.com
Imagine trying to run a retirement center with no electricity or water for an extended time. A generator could supply enough power to cook meals and operate medical equipment. Water from the indoor swimming pool at the independent living facility could be used to flush toilets. But what about the dirty and sometimes very soiled laundry that keeps piling up day after day with no way to wash it.
This was the problem the Brooks-Howell retirement community in the heart of Asheville faced after Hurricane Helene. It has 61 residences for independent living and 58 beds for skilled and rehab nursing care. Started in 1956, the non-profit
was originally operated by the United Methodist Women, but is now managed by UWFaith. Staff members reached out for assistance to do laundry through LeadingAge, a nonprofit community of providers and other mission-driven organizations serving older adults.
Vonda Hollingsworth, a board member of the group, felt compelled to help. She is also vice president of the Pennybyrn retirement community on the corner of Greensboro and Penny roads and understands the daily intricacies needed to keep such a facility running. She and five other Pennybyrn staff members volunteered to travel to Western North Carolina to — stated simply — wash clothes. Lake Junaluska Conference & Retreat Center, located 30 miles from Brooks-Howell, vol-
unteered the use of its laundry facility between the hours of 10 p.m.-6 a.m.
“Tackling piles and piles, and more piles, of dirty laundry in the basement of a retreat center is not the way I expected us to

serve, but I am certain God called us to this need,” Hollingsworth said.
The Pennybyrn volunteers called themselves the Super Suds Squad. Residents and other staff were given the opportunity to help create gift bags for the staff at Brooks-Howell.
“All the staff were struggling,” Hollingsworth acknowledged.
“The facility was operating with 1/3 of its daily staff. Many of them have either sustained serious damage or lost homes and family members, but continue to work tirelessly. We wanted to support them with gift bags that included treats, hand sanitizer, gift cards and handwritten notes.”
Everything had to be completed before the Pennybyrn volunteers left late in the afternoon of Oct. 14 for the three-hour trip to BrooksHowell. With only a weekend to put the project together, Hollingsworth realized collecting money and purchasing items needed for the gift bags would work better. Checks, cash and handwritten notes were dropped off at the front desk of the Independent Living facility.
“I asked for $3,100 and got $15,500,” she said. “We held a
Town Council minutes indicate not every councilmember was in favor of creating the park. However, after several years of discussion and planning, including exchanging land with the City of High Point so the park would be one tract, plans for Jamestown Park and Golf Course were revealed in August 1972.
The plans consisted of an 18-hole golf course, football/ baseball fields, tennis courts and picnic area. Approval for the park had come from the State Recreation Planning Task force in October 1971.
The park was to be located off Bundy Road, which is now East Fork Road.
Total cost for the entire park was approximately $1.8 million. Proposed renovations alone in 2009 would have cost up to $4.6 million.
Jamestown Park opened in June 1974, tennis courts, playgrounds and picnic areas followed a year later, and the golf course in November 1975.
Coakley is looking for any memorabilia from early days of the course for display at

packing party Monday afternoon in Norcross Town Square in the Health Care facility so residents there could participate in volunteering.”
Making 75 gift bags proved more difficult then expected. The problem was obtaining enough gift cards.
Walmart is allowed to sell no more than 20 gift cards at one time and it took trips to six different stores to get all the cards and items to fill the bags.
Once the volunteers got to the

“We have pictures, old hole flags and tee markers from the late ‘70s,” he said, “but we would like more.”
There is also an original model of the park as it looked in the early ‘70s that will be on display.
“I’ve always heard a rumor that [the park] was built with ABC money,” Coakley said, referencing the Alcoholic Beverage Control store that was once just inside the Jamestown town limits on West Main Street.
“I found the original grant application and it asks what are your sources of income.
It says ‘the remainder of the funds from the ABC store revenues.’ I thought, it’s not a rumor!”
The Jamestown News was not able to find what 18 holes of weekday golf would have cost in 1975 but $12 was the fee in 1992. The current cost is $40.
There were over 33,000 rounds of golf played last year.
Very little improvement was made to Jamestown Park other than routine mainte-

County. He worked for the City of Greensboro as a Planner and Senior Planner for almost seven years, combined. He left the Piedmont Triad Regional Council to take the position in Jamestown.
“I have AICP designation, which stands for American Institute of Certified Planners. I am also a Certified Zoning Official in the State of North Carolina (CZO),” Colón added.
His first day on the job in Jamestown was Sept. 23. He replaced Anna Hawryluk who left for a position elsewhere.
“Being bilingual has proven helpful in Jamestown in my short time here. On just my first week, I had two instances of speaking with Spanish-speaking residents. Ensuring great language access and creating additional lines of communication improves our overall customer service and delivery. Being able to assist other coworkers in communicating with the public has been a part of my career for over a decade.
“My goal is to continue to administer and promote orderly and thoughtful devel-
retreat center to begin their laundry duty, they only washed the clothes and linens for the residents in the skilled and rehab nursing care in order to keep items separated. Although the job was not easy, Hollingsworth knows it was worth the effort.
“When I took a sheet out of the dryer and felt its warmth and smelled its freshness, I could imagine how comforting this would be to the residents,” she said. “With the extra funds we raised we will do gift bags for
other nursing homes, and we plan to do laundry again if needed.
“Our residents were happy to have someplace specific to donate to that was very relatable to them. I think us being willing to help others gave them confidence that we would do the same for them.”
For Hollingsworth, seeing the war-zone-like devastation in Western North Carolina was stressful, but she noted that the outpouring of support for the area from individuals and organizations helped restore her faith in humanity.
nance for 40 years. Town staff made some improvements in 2014, including removing trees, recontouring of the area around the ball field and cosmetic work to the picnic shelters and restrooms. The Town then applied for a Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) grant for more improvements. The 50/50 grant would help the town focus on making the entire park — not just the golf course — more attractive to all ages.
The town received a $306,500 matching grant for the $613,000 project to reshape and plant Bermuda grass on the golf course greens, construct new tees and make improvements to the baseball fields.
More work was done to the greens in 2016 and players welcomed a new, larger clubhouse with meeting areas.
Improvements continue at the playground area of the park, but will not be completed by the anniversary event. New basketball court, nature trail, new swing sets and restrooms are included
opment while preserving the small-town character that Jamestown is known for. I hope to work with Town Council, Planning Board, Town staff, residents, and the business community to continue to implement the Envision Jamestown Comprehensive Plan and ensure our actions align with the stated vision and guiding principles.”
Colón has many hobbies, including spending time outdoors, photography, exploring cultures through food, cooking and playing videos games.
The new planning director has been impressed with the town of Jamestown.
“Jamestown is a wonderful town rich in history, with charming neighborhoods, great business community and has fantastic pedestrian amenities and access to the outdoors,” he said. “I’ve also been impressed on how welcoming Town staff and residents have been during my short time here. I’ve been a neighbor to Jamestown, living near the area for over a decade and look forward to working here and getting to know more about the town.
“I look forward to getting to know members of the community and create strong working relationships to ensure Jamestown continues to be a great place to live, work and play.”

and most items are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
“We’re trying to bring attention out here because all of the things that are going on,” Coakley said. “It’s 50 years of that stuff too. Once that opens up and we get all that new stuff, it’s going to be so busy here.”
Over the years since the golf course opened, some residents have suggested the Town either turn over management of the course to an organization or sell the course. The residents believe their tax dollars could be better spent somewhere other than on a golf course. But that cannot happen.
“We found out the only way the Town could not

have a golf course here is if we bought a piece of land somewhere else … and made a golf course,” Coakley said.
“There’s no way you can get rid of the land. Once you agree to the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) contract, you are bound by that and it always has to be recreation amenity.”

approximately $8.1 million was allocated originally.
“We’ll apply for a grant for restrooms at Wrenn Miller Park. We already have design plans for that.”
The Town must match $1 for every $5 of grant funds.
Ashby received a motion of support from the Parks & Recreation Committee to move forward with this second grant application.
New LED lights and poles will be installed in Jamestown Park’s parking lot in coming days. The eight lights will replace the four existing dim bulb lights and will make it safer for nighttime meetings at the clubhouse and for staff.
“Everything at Jamestown Park will be all new, except for two existing shelters, when we’ve finished — at no cost to the taxpayers,” Coakley said.
Coakley ended by announcing the Jamestown Park Golf Course will host a 50th Anniversary event on
Oct. 25 from 1 to 3 p.m.
There will be free hot dogs and the first 200 visitors will get a free gift. If you have memorabilia from the course that you could share, contact Coakley at scoakley@ jamestown-nc.gov or 336454-4319, the clubhouse at 336-454-4912 or email Golf
Pro Marcy Newton at mnewton@jamestown-nc.gov. New Golf Course Superintendent Justin May reported it has been a good year so far but there has been a lot of rain which kept some golfers away. The course sustained minimal damage from Hurricane Helene but there are some other areas that are being looked at. The work on the dam on No. 4 is complete and the bid for work on the dam on No. 18 will go out shortly. The 50-year-old drainage system is failing in some places so May’s crew is working on that. They will be removing dead trees during the winter.

Strange But True

• Golf legend Jack Nicklaus earned his nickname, the “Golden Bear,” thanks to his size and blond hair. Conveniently, it was also the name of his high school mascot.
• The Statue of Liberty wears a size 879 shoe.
• When Americans moved out of one house and into another in the early 20th century, they would burn all their old dishcloths so that none of the bad energy that had been wiped up in the old house would move with them into their new abode.
• “Horizontal refreshment” was a 19thcentury slang term for sex.
• The term “mortician” was invented as part of a PR campaign by the funeral industry, which felt it was more customerfriendly than “undertaker.” The term was chosen after a call for ideas in Embalmer’s Monthly.
• It would take 76 workdays (if you work an eight-hour day) to read every online privacy policy you agree to in an average year.
• Sorry, Scotland: Persians invented bagpipes.
• Walt Disney World is the second-largest buyer of explosives in America, following only the U.S. Department of Defense, but don’t worry — most of them are in the form of fireworks.
A Canadian police officer named Ward Clapham created a program giving “positive tickets” to people who do good deeds.
• Harriet Tubman was the first woman to lead a U.S. military raid.
• Great white sharks rarely survive in captivity. Experts suspect the electricity in buildings interferes with the animals’ electrosensory systems, though that hasn’t stopped some aquariums from trying, and failing, to display them.

• Instead of mowing the lawn, Google rents goats to eat the grass at its headquarters.
actress Ariana DeBose ( West Side Story ) leads this supernatural film produced by horror powerhouse Blumhouse Productions. DeBose’s character is solely known as Chef, a culinary connoisseur who opens a fine-dining restaurant in an isolated estate in the middle of nowhere.
Easier said than done, Chef realizes, as she learns how to deal with the challenging aspects of owning her own eatery, like finding reliable staff, working to impress her investor, managing her anxiety, and fighting an evil spirit that seems to be lurking in every corner of the state. Will Chef let her dreams spoil right in front of her? See for yourself!

The Menendez Brothers (r) — Lyle and Erik Menendez have garnered a lot of traction during the month of October, due to Ryan Murphy’s dramatized series Monsters that covered the brothers’ story. Now Netflix is letting them tell their story
through a documentary film, more than 30 years after the murders of their parents first took place. In the doc, which is out now, Lyle and Erik call in from prison to explain their sides of what occurred that August night in 1989 and why their claims of abuse weren’t taken seriously by the jury during both trials. Family members, lawyers, jurors and reporters who were involved with the case weigh in with their points of view, while lead prosecutor Pamela Bozanich still maintains that the brothers are lying about the abuse and deserve to be incarcerated.

Monster Marshmallow Kabobs:
By pAtti
What’s better than a bunch of mischievous monsters? Monsters made of marshmallows on a stick, of course! Because, let’s face it, everything is more fun when it’s on a stick!
These Monster Marshmallow
Kabobs are a festive and frightfully fun Halloween treat the whole family can create together. All you need are marshmallows and a few inexpensive decorating supplies to craft your very own marshmallow monster mash.
here’s what you’ll need: Marshmallows (regular or jumbo for extra spookiness)
Bamboo skewers, lollipop sticks or straws (for little goblins, opt for straws or lollipop sticks for safety)
1. Line cookie sheets with wax paper to keep things tidy.
2. Gather small bowls and fill them with your spooky decorating materials.
3. Now, let’s create your creepy creatures!
decorating tricks & tips:
— Gelatin Powder Magic: Dip marshmallows in water, blot with a paper towel and roll in gelatin powder for a burst of color and flavor. Orange makes perfect pumpkins, while lime makes fun green
By JoAnn deRSon
— Googly Monsters: Roll marshmallows in green sugar, then attach three candy eyes and draw silly monster faces with melted chocolate.
— Bloodshot Eyeballs: Use red food coloring or an edible marker to draw bloodshot squiggles on marshmallows. Top with a candy eyeball for extra spook factor.
Bonus tips for a smooth (and safe) sticking experience:
— Butter your bamboo skewers before impaling sticky marshmallows — it makes a world of difference! A little goes a long way; I used just a 1/4 teaspoon to coat a whole bunch of skewers.
— For younger kids, swap bamboo skewers for lollipop sticks or straws. If using straws, snip the ends at an angle to make inserting them easier.
— DIY Colored Sugars: Don’t have pre-colored sugar? No problem! Toss white sugar into a jar or bag, add food coloring (start with 6 drops and add more as needed) and shake it up until the sugar is vibrantly hued. Roll marshmallows in your homemade sugar for a colorful sugary coating.
— Candy Melts: Melt candy melts in the microwave (30-second increments, stirring in between) and dip marshmallows for a smooth, glossy coating. Pro tip: A teaspoon of shortening or coconut oil makes the candy coating easier to work with. Once coated, let them harden on wax paper.
here’s how we created our spooky squad:
— Frankenstein’s Monster: Coat
marshmallow with green candy melts. Press mini chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles on top while the coating is tacky for “hair.” Add candy eyeballs, then use a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate to draw stitches, eyebrows and a ghoulish grin.
— Pumpkin Faces: Dip marshmallows in orange gelatin powder, then use a toothpick dipped in chocolate to draw jack-o’-lantern faces. Add green candies on top for stems.
— Mummies: Dip marshmallows in white sugar, then drizzle with white candy melts for “bandages.” Attach candy eyes using melted chocolate.
— Ghosts: Coat marshmallows with white candy melts, letting the excess pool at the bottom to form a ghostly shape. Once hardened, use a toothpick and chocolate to create spooky faces.
— Avoid choking hazards for toddlers by serving decorated marshmallows on a festive plate instead of kabobs. And keep an eye on those sugar eyeballs!
Whether you’re hosting a Halloween bash or just adding a little spooky fun to snack time, these Monster Marshmallow Kabobs are sure to be a hit. Get creative, make memories and enjoy every sweet bite! Happy haunting!
