Another Fourth of July has come and gone, celebrating the 248th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Members of the Jamestown Lions Club and Jamestown Veterans Committee gathered July 6 to take down the flags that had lined Main Street in Jamestown for the previous week and store them until Veterans Day.
Placing the flags at various locations throughout the town is a tradition held for approximately 30 years.
“We put flags out at the library for Constitution Week in June,” said Lions Club member Pinkey Jordan. “For Veterans Day and Memorial Day we put them out at Wrenn Miller Park, but the most flags are used to line Main Street from the Town Hall to Potter Drive for the Fourth of July.
“At one time we placed flags beside the advertisement boards at YesterYear in Motion.”
For years the club sponsored this community event on the Dillon Road property of member Willard Moore. It featured older and antique machinery and was a major fundraiser for the group.
Placing the flags is no small feat.
To line Main Street takes about an hour and a half if enough people are on hand to help with the task. This year it was accomplished with four representatives of the Lions Club and four volunteers from the Jamestown Veterans Committee.
Two-foot long, 3/8-inch rebar pieces are driven into the ground. The flags are placed on ½-inch conduit pipes, which are slid over the rebar. Several years ago screws were placed into the poles to keep the flags from going too far down over the rebar.
“We don’t measure the distance

a different kind of shopping experience in Jamestown

It may take you a little while to find what you are looking for at a place that is a little hard to find, but chances are, if Paradise Bins does not have it, they probably will in a few weeks.
Paradise Bins opened in January in the Jamestown Shopping Center on West Main Street. In this short period of time, the store has acquired a clientele of many people who make shopping there a weekly event.
“We were worried that we were here in the back corner [of the shopping center] that we wouldn’t have any traffic but the first month we were open we did quite well,” said the owner Jamestown native Brent Sams. Katie Fields manages the store.
“We put new merchandise out daily, a few hundred items every morning, and post pictures on Facebook the day before,” Sams said.
The merchandise changes daily because Sams is able to buy truckloads of new merchandise from all over the country from businesses such as Amazon, Target,

Council to discuss land Development Ordinance amendments
By CaROL BROOKs FreeLANCe WrIter cab1hp@gmail.com
Now that the annexation/rezoning issue for the Equestrian Center is settled, at least for the time being, it is time for the Jamestown Town Council to look at other matters at its July 16 meeting.
Jane Walker Payne will be recognized for her years of service on the Planning Board and as Jamestown’s representative to the Guilford County Historic Preservation Commission. Under old business, Planning Director Anna Hawryluk will lead
a public hearing to consider text amendments to the Land Development Ordinance (LDO), specifically updating Chapter 1: General Provisions.
The Council will also consider minor changes and clarifications throughout the document to correct errors, provide consistency and make revisions to specific development standards.
New business items include the appointment of a Planning Board member and alternate as well as the Jamestown Park and Golf Course quarterly report. Four items are under consideration
by the Council: approval of a special event permit request for the Christmas Parade by the Jamestown Rotary Club and approval of contracts for services to three local non-profits (Jamestown Public Library, Historic Jamestown Society and the Ragsdale Family YMCA). These last three services contracts used to be awarded as grants by The Town Council.
The Jamestown Town Council will meet at 6 p.m. July 16 in the Council Chambers at Town Hall, 301 E. Main St. The public is invited to attend. A video of the meeting will be found at www.youtube.com/c/TownofJamestownNC. Click on “live.”

Where the Revolutionary War was won
Last week we celebrated the anniversary of the July 4, 1776, Declaration of Independence.
This declaration, important as it was and is, did not deliver the independence it declared. It took eight years of fighting for the American former colonists to gain that recognition.
A new book by Alan Pell Crawford, “This Fierce People: The Untold Story of America’s Revolutionary War,” relates the story of the final three years of the that war.
By d.g. M a RTI n
Crawford is also the author of “Twilight at Monticello: The Final Years of Thomas Jefferson,” and he reviews books for the Wall Street Journal
Crawford believes that the major historians of the American Revolution do not give sufficient attention to the war in the South.
“Even educated Americans think of the War of Independence almost exclusively in terms of stirring stories about its beginnings — Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Washington crossing the Delaware, the cruel winter at Valley Forge — in which ‘embattled farmers’ and ‘citizens in arms’ led by Washington triumph over the greatest military power in the world.”
The problem, Crawford says is “that much of the war took place not in the North but in the South, and that is where the most decisive battles — those that forced the British surrender at Yorktown — were fought. Washington himself remained in New York and New Jersey, primarily for most of the war.
“It was not until late summer of 1781 in route to Yorktown that he crossed the Potomac, more than three years after the last battle in the north, at Monmouth, took place. The events that forced the British to give up the fight are given short shrift, and the surrender at Yorktown, in most histories of the war occurs almost as if by magic.”
Crawford opens his account in March 1780 with the British siege of Charles Town, South Carolina. At the surrender on May 12, 5,500 Continental soldiers became British prisoners. When General Washington learned of the surrender, he said that the only “American army worthy of the name left in the South had been lost.”

MaIL sUBsCRIPTIOn:
In August 1780 British troops under the command of General Charles Cornwallis faced American troops led by Horatio Gates at Camden, South Carolina. The result was that “In little more than an hour, some nine hundred men in Gates’s army had been either killed or wounded.”
Gates himself fled the battlefield.
He was seen fleeing toward Charlotte on the day of the battle itself, covering 60 miles that afternoon and another 120 the next day, astonishing officers in the Carolinas and elsewhere with the speed by which he fled the scene — and also by what they interpreted as his cowardness.
The victory of the Americans in October 1780 at Kings Mountain is familiar to all who took North Carolina history in school. Crawford writes, “something seemingly impossible had occurred: an outnumbered gaggle of utterly untrained volunteers — that ‘swarm of backwoodsmen,’ had whipped a larger force of well-disciplined, well-supplied provincials and militiamen under the command of one of the most experienced and capable of British officers,” meaning Patrick Ferguson.
In December 1780, General Nathanael Greene arrived in the Carolinas to take charge of the meager Southern forces. As Crawford explains, Greene knew that although it might be impossible to beat the British in large battle, the Americans could pester them by attacking them and winning small battles.
The tide had turned. In January 1781, under the leadership of Daniel Morgan at Cowpens, the Americans won an important victory, leading to Greene’s confrontation against Cornwallis at Guilford Courthouse.
Cornwallis claimed victory because his troops held the battlefield, but his army was so damaged that it retreated to Wilmington and then to Virginia where it surrendered at Yorktown, in the South, proving Crawford is correct in asserting the region’s importance in the Revolutionary War.

21 GTCC student-athletes honored by nJCAA Region 10
P R ess R e L ease
Twenty-One Guilford
Technical Community College (GTCC) studentathletes have been honored for their classroom achievements by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), earning a spot on the Region 10 All-Academic Team for the Spring 2024 semester.
To be named to the Regional All-Academic Team, student-athletes must participate in a sport which competes during the spring semester and achieve a 3.0
grade point average while passing 12 credit hours.
“It takes a lot to be a student-athlete at the collegiate level,” said Kirk Chandler, director of athletics at GTCC. “From practices, games — home and away, and a full-time school load it takes a lot to excel at this level, and what these 21 students accomplished is very impressive.”
Four members of the Titans women’s basketball team received All-Region 10 academic honors, including Bentlee Chockley, Jahmaria Miles, Kayla Reyn-

between the flags, but pace it off,” Jordan said. “They are approximately 20 feet apart, (skipping over driveways and roads).”
Ted Womack began the tradition of displaying flags in Jamestown by purchasing 50 flags, rebar rods and conduit poles. It took some persuasion to get help putting the flags up that first year, but patriotic holidays have seen the flags gracing the town ever since.
“It is always a pleasure to ride down Main Street and see them displayed,” Womack said on his Facebook page.
Since the flag placement started, Jordan has purchased 50 more flags and the Jamestown Rotary Club funded the purchase of some so the distance they were displayed could be extended. The Lions Club currently has 130 flags. Less of them are used at the library and park, but all are used along Main Street.

the flags up,” Jordan said. Lions Club member and Army veteran Gene Hassell, who served in Vietnam for a year, is glad to have part in displaying the flags. “I take pride in doing it and pride in my country,” he said.
Although Jordan is not a veteran he had three brothers who were and he volunteered to take veterans to their medical appointments for 20 years. “We plan to continue displaying the flags as long as possible,” he acknowledged.
“I think there is nothing more beautiful than our flags displayed up and down Main Street, especially during our country’s birthday celebration,” said Pat Floyd, Lions Club president. “It makes me so proud to be an American, and lucky enough to live in this great country.”
The Jamestown Lions Club meets at Parkwood Baptist Church on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30.
Obituaries Buren Haggai
JAMESTOWN — Buren Cashatt Haggai, 87, was promoted to Glory on Thursday, July 4th, 2024. She passed peacefully while resting in her Jamestown home with her children and loved ones by her side.
Buren was born April 8, 1937, in High Point and was the daughter of the late C. Austin and Ethel B. Cashatt. She graduated from Jamestown High School in 1955, was employed by High Point Bank and later by Alderman Studios which led to several photographic modeling opportunities. She later managed the family restaurant where area patrons were drawn not only by great meals, but also Buren’s energetic personality and natural beauty. Buren and her husband, Tom, were married on August 25, 1971, as Tom transitioned from Emerywood Baptist Church’s pulpit to embark on an emerging career as a motivational speaker and business entrepreneur. She helped manage Tom’s business affairs and the THA (Tom Haggai & Associates) scholarship foundation from their High Point office, along with Tom’s executive assistant, Mary Helen Potts. Buren and Mary Helen formed a sister-like bond while working together for more than 45 years. Those close to the family would agree that it took two intelligent and headstrong women, working in lock step, to keep Tom on task. Buren spent her childhood attending Mitchell’s Grove United Methodist Church in High Point. In recent years Buren and Tom attended Jamestown United Methodist Church where they participated in the Austin P. Fortney Sunday school class. Buren was gracious, independent, kind, feisty and quick witted. She and Tom often traveled abroad together; however, Buren’s top priority was raising her children in Jamestown. She was generous with her time and resources and adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was an avid tennis player who often paired with Tom and well-known professionals for doubles exhibition tournaments. She loved playing favorite hymns on her piano which she continued to do just days before her passing. She epitomized “Once a friend, always a friend” as demonstrated by frequent gatherings with her Jamestown “lunch bunch” friends who continued to stay in touch for decades after graduating high school.
In addition to her parents, Buren was predeceased by her beloved husband of 48 years, Dr. Thomas S. Haggai; and her brothers, Alvin Cashatt and Ralph Cashatt.
Buren is survived by her children, Janice Drimer (Joe), Janie Dixon (Mike), and Allan Haggai (Beth); step-daughter, Chris Haggai; seven grandchildren; and six great grandchildren.
A unique memorial will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, July, 12, 2024, at Jamestown United Methodist Church with Rev. Dr. David Greene officiating.
A gathering and reception with hors devours will follow in the church fellowship hall for all who wish to gather and celebrate the lives of Buren and Tom. Due to COVID-19 public gathering restrictions in force during the passing of Tom Haggai on March 27, 2020, the family wishes to appropriately honor the memory of both Buren and Tom.
The family is grateful to staff members at Hospice of the Piedmont for their attentive and tender care over the past two weeks.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of one’s choice.
Cumby Family Funeral Service in High Point is serving the Haggai family.

Walgreens, Lowe’s hardware and Walmart. There is often an “Amazon Mystery Box” corner where for $5 shoppers can purchase a unopened box still sealed up by Amazon that sat in the company’s distribution center for too long.
The merchandise is placed in bins throughout the store for customers to look through. Most items are only $5 but some are $3. There is also a $1 bin for items that have been there for a while.
Items include hardware, bedding, home goods, pet supplies, toys, games, electronics, cosmetics, over-the-counter medicine, phone cases, glucose meters, printer ink, notebook computer stands, seasonal items, sporting goods –and that is just to start.
“You just never know what kind of random item you will find,” Sams said with a chuckle.
Clothing for the entire family, including shoes, may be tried on and are offered at affordable
prices: $5 for the clothes hanging on a rack, $3 in the bins, $1 in a specially-marked bin, and bathing suits for $3.
Several shoppers last week were checking out with full carts.
“A little bit of everything is kind of our motto,” Sams said. “We have the same people that come in every day digging through the bins. They say it’s therapeutic. “Always something new and something for everybody.”
Paradise Bins is located at 707-D W. Main St. in the Jamestown Shopping Center where Dollar General is located, in the back building. It is open Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Sams has a similar store in Archdale.

In Case You Missed It Triangle of Sadness (R) — This satirical black comedy directed by Ruben Ostlund won the legendary Palme d’Or when it first premiered at the 75th Cannes Film Festival back in 2022.

comfort food reimagined: Cauliflower Mac & Cheese for National Mac and Cheese Day
By PaTTI
As a lover of all things comfort food, one of my favorite food holidays is coming up. Next Sunday, July 14 is National Macaroni and Cheese Day. This is not a drill! What better way to celebrate than with a creamy, cheesy bowl of mac and cheese?
Did you know that mac and cheese has a rich history dating back to the 14th century? The earliest known recipe comes from an Italian cookbook called “Liber de Coquina,” and it was a dish reserved for the elite. However, it wasn’t until President Thomas Jefferson brought the dish to America from France that mac and cheese truly began its rise to comfort food royalty.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
But what if I told you there’s a way to enjoy this classic dish more often and make it a bit healthier? Introducing Cauliflower Mac and Cheese! By swapping half the pasta for cauliflower, you not only reduce the carbs but also boost the nutritional value, making it a win-win.
CAULIFLOWER MAC AND CHEESE
Yield: 4 to 6 main dish servings
Total Time: 35 minutes
16 ounces cavatappi pasta or elbow macaroni
1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon dry ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups milk
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheese, I used Colby Jack
Fill a large saucepan with salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in the macaroni and cauliflower; cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain well and transfer to the prepared pan. In the same saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour, ground mustard, salt and garlic powder; stir to combine. Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth and thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add cheese, one handful at a time, and stir until melted and combined. Pour the cheese sauce over the macaroni and cauliflower, stirring to combine. Bake, uncovered, until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool and serve. Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Why Add Cauliflower?
— Nutritional Boost: Cauliflower is packed with vitamins C, K and B6, as well as fiber and antioxidants. Including it in your mac and cheese makes the dish more nutrient-dense without sacrificing flavor.
— Lower Carbs: Reducing the amount of pasta and replacing it with cauliflower
lowers the overall carbohydrate content, making it better for those watching their carb intake.
— Versatility: Cauliflower takes on the flavors of the dish, blending seamlessly into the creamy cheese sauce. It’s a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your family’s diet.
Tips for Perfect Cauliflower
Mac and Cheese
— Cook Al Dente: Boil the pasta and cauliflower until just tender. Overcooking can lead to mushy mac and cheese after baking.
— Cool Before Baking:
Let the pasta and cauliflower cool slightly before mixing with the sauce. This prevents the pasta from absorbing too much sauce and becoming soggy.
— Warm Milk for Sauce: Using warm milk helps create a smoother cheese sauce more quickly and prevents lumps.
— Freshly Grated Cheese: Grate your own cheese for the best melting results. Pre-shredded cheese often contains anticaking agents that can affect the texture of your sauce.
Macaroni and cheese is the queen of comfort foods, and with this healthier twist, you can enjoy it more often without the guilt. Celebrate National Macaroni and Cheese Day with this delicious recipe and enjoy the benefits of added cheesy covered veggies in every bite!
here to stay. And the wisdom of yesteryear is popping up all over the place. For instance, want beautiful highlights? Get a lemon and get out in the sun. Use the juice to dampen strands of your hair, then as you are out in the sun, they will lighten — no chemicals, au natural!
• “Sunburn can be soothed with plain vinegar. For the back, arms or legs, soak a washcloth in room temperature vinegar and lay it on the affected area for 15 minutes, then rinse. For the face, soak a cotton ball and lightly dab on burned areas.” — I.E. in California
• “Bug bites can be treated with banana peel. Use a small piece of the peel laid white side down over the bite. Secure with a Band-Aid. Leave on at least 5 minutes. This works especially well for my kids, who seem to think it’s fun.” — W.S. in Alabama
• “Old farm trick: I keep a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol mixed with water on my garden cart. If I think I got into some poison ivy, I spray the skin area pretty thoroughly with the alcohol. It’s the oil that spreads the rash, and the alcohol stops it from spreading pretty well.” — J.J. in Florida
• Lush lips and lovely nailbeds are only as far away as your pantry. Use olive oil applied directly to lips and nails to moisturize.
• “Duct tape remedy for warts: Cover wart completely with duct tape. Leave it on for six days. On day seven, remove the tape, soak the wart and use a pumice stone or emery board to rub the dead skin off. Repeat until it’s gone. No chemicals, and it takes about the same amount of time to work as expensive medicines you buy at the drugstore.” — H.V. in Virginia
