council swears in new members By CaROL BROOKs FreeLANCe WrIter cab1hp@gmail.com It did not take long to go through the Jamestown Council’s Dec. 19 agenda — slightly over half-an-hour. There was no public comment during the continued public hearing on the adoption of a Storm Water Utility Fee to the Town’s Code of Ordinances. Councilmember Martha Wolfe pointed out the state of North Carolina mandates such a fee. The fee would bring in approximately $100,000 yearly, according to Town Manager Matthew Johnson. The vote was 3-1 to create

this new fee, with Councilmember Lawrence Straughn voting against. The fee will go into effect Jan. 1, 2024. There will be a public hearing at the Jan. 16 meeting to consider a text amendment to the Solid Waste Ordinance relating to the new fee. Mayor Lynn Montgomery recognized outgoing councilmembers John Capes and Straughn with resolutions of appreciation for their service to the town. Capes has been on the council for six years and Straughn for four years. Following a brief recess to rearrange the council table, North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul Newby related some of his family life in Jamestown

as well as the town’s history. He noted that the state of North Carolina adopted its first constitution Dec. 18, 1776, 247 years and one day ago. “There is nothing closer to ‘We the people’ than a town council,” Newby noted, quoting the preamble to the North Carolina Constitution. “Article 7 of the state constitution talks about local government and that the General Assembly establishes that. The people rely on local government.” Newby conducted the oaths of office, often the privilege of the town clerk, to not only newlyPhoto courtesy of Martha Wolfe elected Pam Burgess and Sarah n.C. supreme Court Chief Justice Paul newby, a Jamestown native, stands between new councilmembers sarah glanville, see COUnCIL, PAGe 2 left, and Pam Burgess.

By nORMa B. dennIs FreeLANCe WrIter ndworddesign@gmail.com First Baptist Church of Jamestown has a new pastor. Although it is the first church in which Matt Surprenant has served as lead pastor, it is not his first experience with Christian ministry. He has worked with student ministry at a church in Greensboro, helped as a pulpit supply minister and was an associate pastor at a church in Browns Summit. Surprenant preached for First Baptist Church of Jamestown on Father’s Day of 2022. Michael Barrett from the Piedmont Baptist Association was helping to provide pulpit supply for them and had asked Surprenant if he would preach one Sunday. “They had been looking for a part-time pastor, which I was not sure I could do,” Surprenant said. “At the time I was working with Guilford County Schools. We lost touch for about a year, but in October we reconnected when they called me to guest preach for several Sundays. We

He had been wondering how First Baptist Church was doing when he received the call from Jane Marlowe who said they still needed a pastor. Surprenant was teaching fitness classes at a gym in Greensboro and attending classes at Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, but felt he could add this to his schedule part time as the church members desired.

“Things just seemed to line up well for both sides,” Surprenant said. “I began my official duties as pastor there on the third Sunday in November.” Surprenant calls the Outer Banks his home. He became a Christian the summer before entering high school and shortly thereafter felt a call to go into vocational ministry with a leaning toward being a music and worship pastor. He attended the University of North Carolina Greensboro where he studied music. see PasTOR, PAGe 2

mike’s exxon to close New Year’s eve

It’s the end of an era. On Dec. 31, Mike Tester will be closing the Exxon service station at 106 W. Main St. Tester and his employee Penn Farr are both retiring. Farr has been with Tester for 20 years. Tester and his wife Jacqueline opened the station as a Citgo station in March of 1996, leasing it from Harold and Martha Hall. Hall was the second mayor of Jamestown. The mayor built the building in the 1960s and is believed to have been a Sunoco and possibly Mobile gas station under his ownership. The Bundy family originally owned the property. Tester purchased the station from Martha Hall in 2001. Light mechanical work has been a mainstay but

Tester is proudest of one other thing. Unlike most other gas stations, he still comes out and pumps gas at one or two pumps, rather than making the driver do it. It is the personal service customers loved. “There probably aren’t very many people in Jamestown and the surrounding area who have not been touched positively by these two gentlemen,” said Patricia Small Simpson. “I remember when Sheetz came to the area and the financial challenge it presented to Mike but even though it may have been a few pennies more, I, and I am sure many others, continued to patronize Mike’s because Jamestown needed this local station and these two great guys.” “Mike is such a wonderful person,” said Janet Odum. “ An all-around nice person. Always willing to put air in

tires, car inspections, etc. Jamestown will miss having him at the Exxon.” “It’s been a blessing to help other people,” Tester said. “When we started we thought it was an opportunity to show the love of God to people. These are the greatest people in the world.” He will often pray with see exxOn, PAGe 2

“My studies were always a struggle and I felt I was not as good as anyone else,” Surprenant said. “The last semester of my senior year I realized I should not do music but enjoyed the teaching aspect of ministry. I got involved in campus ministry. That was more my gift.” Shortly after graduation, Surprenant married and he and his wife, Maria-Elena made Greensboro their home. They joined Lawndale Baptist Church where Surprenant gained experience in various aspects of ministry. “My intension was always to attend seminary,” he said. “After serving as associate pastor I stepped away from ministry for a short while.” Now, in addition to being a full-time husband and father to eight-month old Ezra, Surprenant is a seminary student, part-time fitness teacher and part-time pastor. His current goal is to get to know his congregation and the community. He envisions his role as pastor as fourfold — preaching, praying, preparing the saints for work in ministry and protecting the flock. “I am a simple man who wants to be faithful to God’s work and see God work through that,” he said. “I think through faithful preaching and discipleship I can help members grow spiritually. When they mature it empowers them for their own personal ministry. The Biblical faithfulness of the members will outlast me when I am long gone. “It always comes back to the gospel, to know Christ and grow in Christ.” Surprenant says he is excited to be a part of what God is doing at First Baptist and in the surrounding community.

Glanville but to the mayor and Councilmembers Rebecca Rayborn and Martha Wolfe, who renewed their vows as well. Family members stood with those taking the oath. For the first time in history, the new town council is comprised of all women. Former councilmember Georgia Nixon was in the audience to witness the occasion and noted on social media that when she took office in 2007, she was the only woman. “While it was a historical moment, the best part is not the gender of the council but their commitment, qualifications and passion,” Nixon said. “I’m so lucky to live in this town.” Following the swearing in, the council elected Rayborn as mayor pro-tem. Appointed to serve as representatives were Burgess to the planning board, Rayborn to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee, Wolfe to the Transportation Advisory Committee and Montgomery to the Piedmont Triad Regional Council. Glanville was appointed as liaison to Guilford County School Board and Rayborn to the Livable Communities Committee. In his manager’s report, Johnson commended the Finance Department — Finance Officer Faith Wilson, Deputy Finance Officer Heather Lunsford and former Finance Director Judy Gallman, now retired — for receiving the Excellence in Financial Reporting award from the Government Finance Officers Association for the 17th consecutive year. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management.

and for customers who are having problems. There is a little chest beside the register with a note on top inviting customers to place prayer requests inside. “I think it symbolized Mike’s servant’s heart over the years to Jamestown,” said Simpson. Many people have said that Tester did not charge them to replace a burned-out bulb, put air in their tires, check tire pressure, etc. “Have you ever heard of a customer not being charged what was initially quoted because ‘it didn’t cost as much as we thought?’” Simpson said. “Penn has done free work for me more than once because ‘it only took me 15 minutes.’ Well, most any other mechanic would have charged at least an hour’s labor. It’s reflective of the small-town feel that this station maintained over the years.” “A sense of community takes root in different places, from churches to schools to the library to the gas station and more,” said Julia Ebel. Prior to opening in Jamestown, Tester had worked at the Amoco station in Friendly Shopping Center in Greensboro but wanted to be on his own. According to Guilford County records, the property was sold in August of 2022 and is now owned by SA Yadav LLC, an investment company in Kernersville. Tester does not know what the plans are for the property. Tester doesn’t have any firm plans himself. The family owns a farm in Gibsonville and that will take a lot of his time. “The biggest thing is to take a little bit of a mental break,” he said with a smile, “then see what the good Lord has for a next chapter for me to do.” His wife has participated in disaster relief missions thru North Carolina Baptists as a firefighter and paramedic and Tester feels that might also be in his future.

Salome’s Stars Week of JAN. 1, 2024 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The new year brings challenges that can change many things in your life. You need to be prepared not only to confront them, but also to deal with what happens afterward. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have what it takes to set your goals quite a bit higher this year. Learn what you need to know and put what you learn into your efforts. Meanwhile, a partner offers loving support. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In true Gemini Twin fashion, you’re conflicted about a decision that you know you’ll have to make in the new year. Best advice: Get the facts before you make any commitments. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A friend offers you an exciting opportunity for this new year. Although your positive aspects are strong in most respects, caution is still advised. Investigate before you invest. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You can make this new year a

roaring successby readjusting your goals to reflect the changes in the economy. In addition, your den-mate offers both wise and loving support. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The New Year brings new opportunities for change, but you need to be ready to move on from the comfortable status quo toward the challenging unknown. It’s all up to you. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your most important New Year’s resolution should be to work out problems with a family member in order to avoid continuing misunderstandings. Do it soon for both of your sakes. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The new year has much to offer the intensely determined Scorpian, who isn’t afraid to take on challenges and stay with them until they surrender their rewards. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You’ll have many fine opportunities in the new year. But be warned: Reject offers of “help.” You work best when you’re free to

be your own creative self. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The new year offers changes that you might feel you’re not quite ready for. Best advice: Deal with them one step at a time until you’ve built up your self-confidence. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Travel is a dominant aspect of the new year. This could mean relocating to another city (or even another country) in connection with your education or your career. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) This New Year brings news about a change you’ve been anticipating. You might have a problem persuading a loved one about your new plans, but they will soon go along with them. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making people feel safe and protected. You would make an excellent youth counselor. ©2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

Couch Theatre By deMI TaVeRas Barbie (PG-13) — The highest-grossing film of 2023, clocking in at $1.4 billion, is finally out on streaming! Margot Robbie stars as the titular character in director Greta Gerwig’s fourth feature film, opposite a very sassy Ryan Gosling as none other than Ken. The film follows Barbie in Barbieland as she experiences an existential crisis after waking up one day and no longer being “stereotypically perfect.” With the help of Ken, Barbie travels to the real world in an attempt to find the child who’s playing with her — her “owner,” if you will — so that she can

return to her perfectly pink life. So far, its director, lead actress and supporting actor are all nominated for Golden Globes, and the film itself is nominated in the Best Motion Picture and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement categories. With the cultural movement that “Barbie” became this summer, the last nomination should be theirs for the taking! (Max) Saltburn (R) — “The Banshees of Inisherin” star Barry Keoghan jumps into the role of Oliver Quick, a misunderstood, straightedge student at Oxford University who struggles to fit in with his classmates. After a coincidental meet-

Oliver realizes that the life he enjoyed at Saltburn is the only life he wants to live. Out now, this psychological thriller is director Emerald Fennell’s sophomore film, her debut being Promising Young Woman, which also features Mulligan. (Prime Video)

Barry Keoghan, left, and archie Madekwe star in Saltburn. ing with a popular student named Felix (Jacob Elordi), Oliver becomes fast friends with Felix and eventually gets invited to spend the summer at Felix’s family estate, called Saltburn. The estate is buzzing with

bizarre characters who filter in and out of the lavish property, including fellow Oxford student Farleigh (Archie Madekwe) and family friend Pamela (Carey Mulligan). As the summer comes to an end,

Beau Is Afraid (R) — Directed by Ari Aster (Midsommar), this film features Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix — and got Phoenix his seventh Golden Globe nomination. He plays Beau, the son of a wealthy businesswoman named Mona, who grew up to become a very anxious, accident-prone adult. Beau receives news

that his mother died in an accident as he was on his way to visit her, and as if his astronomically bad luck couldn’t possibly get worse, he gets into an accident himself after hearing the news. While the date of his mother’s funeral looms closer, all of his plans to get there goes awry, and Beau surrenders to a series of trippy experiences that push him to let out the grief and guilt surrounding him. With an ensemble cast of Patti LuPone, Nathan Lane, Michael Gandolfini and more, this surrealist horror film is out now, after a disappointing box-office release.

Strange But True By LUCIe WInBORne • In 1837, Thomas Saverland took Caroline Newton to court for biting off part of his nose after he forcibly kissed her at a party. • The original Xbox had sound snippets of real space missions. • Korean college students once launched a protest against the amount of air in potato chip bags by building a raft out of them and sailing it across a river. • When Michael Orchard broke into his neighbor’s burning home to rescue their dog, his heart was in the right place but his timing wasn’t: The house fire was merely his LSD-induced hallucination. • Frozen cow manure was the first-ever puck used in a hockey game. • The word “thug” comes from 1350s India and the Hindi word “thag,” which means “deceiver” or “thief” or “swindler.” • Ten thousand light years away from Earth, a huge cloud 1,000 times larger than our solar system’s diameter contains enough alcohol to fill 400 trillion pints. To drink it all, everyone on Earth would have to drink

300,000 pints each day for 1 billion years. • A violin known as “the Blackbird,” carved entirely from stone, produces sound comparable to traditional wooden violins. • Research has shown that people born in September, October and November are more likely to live 100 years or longer. • French performer Michel Lotito, aka “Monsieur Mangetout,” or “Mr. Eat All,” could hardly be accused of being a picky eater, having earned a Guinness World Record for strangest diet. His gastronomic feats included downing bicycles, razor blades and even an entire airplane. • Much like humans, chimpanzees use strategic high ground for reconnaissance on rival groups during “chimp warfare.”

Thought for the Day: “Every day the clock resets. Your wins don’t matter. Your failures don’t matter. Don’t stress on what was, fight for what could be.” -- Sean Higgins ©2023 King Features Synd., Inc.
