Council approves Sheriff ’s Dept. contract
BY CAROL BROOKS FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com
The discussion has been going on for several years: Should Jamestown pay extra for extra services from the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department. No other municipality in the County pays extra. Discussion about what the Town pays has also been a major discussion point at several special Town Council budget meetings. “The staff requests Council approval of a new lnterlocal Agreement (ILA) between the Town, Guilford County, and the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office
(GCSO) for law enforcement services, effective July 1, 2026 (retroactive),” said Town Manager Matthew Johnson. “This Agreement replaces the original 1991 contract, which has been in continuous effect for approximately 35 years. “The Town contracts with GCSO for two components of law enforcement service: Traditional Law Enforcement - the same baseline coverage GCSO provides to all municipalities in the County, continuing independent of this agreement for as long as Jamestown remains incorporated. “Augmented Law Enforcement [is] four dedicated, specifically assigned Deputy Sheriffs funded
by the Town, providing enhanced coverage within Town limits. Johnson listed several key terms to the new contract: Continues year-to-year with no renewal required; any party may terminate with 90 days’ writ-
ten notice, or immediately for an uncured material breach. Terminates automatically if the parties cannot agree on the Annual Payment Amount by June 15 for the upcoming fiscal year. Fiscal Year 2026-2727 Annual Payment Amount is $473,682. The County will propose future-year amounts by March 1 annually. GCSO retains sole authority over deputy selection, training, discipline and assignment. Vehicle ownership change: The prior arrangement – Town purchases vehicles, transfers title to County, then title reverts to Town at end of life– is terminated. Going forward, the County will own, pur-
chase, lease and maintain all vehicles used for Augmented Services. The Town releases any claim to the vehicles previously titled under that arrangement. No indemnification or agency relationship is created between the parties; each retains its own immunities and legal defenses. Councilmembers felt glad the contract has been updated, the first time since 1991. “I want to personally thank the sheriff and his team for the work and the effort they put into it,” said Councilmember Jim Westmoreland. “I guess [for] the county SEE CONTRACT, PAGE 2

BY CAROL BROOKS FREELANCE WRITER cab1hp@gmail.com It is not raining cats and dogs at the Guilford County Animal Shelter but it may seem like it is to employees. The shelter has more cats and dogs than it can handle — over 700. This is one the highest numbers ever at the shelter and more than the shelter can hold. Shelter staff is overworked, to say the least. The problem is all the animals that are being surrendered by owners to the shelter. There are wait times of two to three hours to allow employees time to evaluate each animal, address medical needs and arrange housing. “Our team is working tirelessly to provide the best care possible,” Guilford County Animal Services Director Jorge Ortega said recently in the media. “The sheer volume of animals means we must prioritize their immediate needs and safety. We’re asking for the community’s patience and support during this challenging time.” Ortega said the shelter received about 1,500

dogs and cats during June and July alone. The Shelter is designed for only 550. The solutions are simple: adoption, foster or donate to the shelter. The Shelter has dropped the adoption fee for all cats and dogs to $10 through Aug. 31 in the national Clear the Shelter campaign. All animals are vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered. Guilford County Animal Services especially needs foster families willing to provide temporary living arrangements for animals in its foster program. As a
Carter Bank acquires new look BY NORMA B. DENNIS FREELANCE WRITER ndworddesign@gmail.com It is not unusual for people to want to redecorate their homes from time to time — either inside, outside, or both. The same can be said for businesses. A refresh can make the structure more appealing and comfortable to those who frequent it.

Since then, the applicant, Harvest Church has revised some of the conditions. However, those conditions were not read. “Tonight my intent was to share additional comments to the updated conditions and also our leadership team from Harvest wanted to give several good faith considerations we’re willing to do just to continue to do our best to be good neighbors,” said Harvest Church Pastor Joe Coyne. “That was my intent tonight. However, around 4:00 I received two documents from our neighbors and one of those documents had additional requests I hadn’t seen. The other [was] a civil engineer report. I haven’t been able to read it thoroughly. I want to respectfully request our
team has to be able to take a look at it thoroughly.” Coyne then requested the hearing be continued until the Sept. 15 Town Council meeting, “… so we can have adequate time to review this and be able to properly respond.” “That seems to make some sense,” said Councilmember Jim Westmoreland. “We, too, received a copy of those documents. My perspective is everybody has been working together and what you say you’re going to do.” Westmoreland’s motion to continue the meeting until Sept. 15 was unanimously approved.

Blaney big lobsta winner in New Hampshire BY RUSSELL SCHMIDT RACIN' WITH RUSS Ryan Blaney was able to recover from a disastrous pit stop late in the NASCAR New Hampshire race and won the Dollar Tree 301 in front of Bubba Wallace and Josh Berry. The action picked up from the second lap when pole sitter Tyler Reddick spun on the front stretch taking a slightly damaged Denny Hamlin and Chris Buescher with him. After the re-rack, William Byron led the opening 25 laps before Shane van Gisbergen took over briefly as NASCAR called for a competition caution, everyone pit for dry weather tires ... slicks. Stage one checkers were captured by a strong Kyle Larson, adapting to wet conditions a little better than others. Christopher Bell and Carson Hocevar were not far behind. On to second stage action where a four-car wreck slowed the pace. Lap 85 saw Hocevar, Connor Zilisch, Austin Dillon and Joey Logano come together, all with minor damage and returned to action. A hundred laps later, Blaney won the stage in front of Josh Berry and Bubba Wallace. After Hocevar spun all on his own for a third time on lap 204, the final messy caution found Michael McDowell, Riley Herbst and Zilisch involved with only McDowell able to continue. The final laps of this one saw Blaney’s Ford Mustang pass Wallace and set sail for the finish line for the third time this season. Capping the top five finishers included Wallace, Berry, Bell and Larson. Looking at the latest points standings has Hamlin still out front, but now by only 77 over Blaney and 121 ahead of Ty Gibbs.
Riggs keeps on truckin’ in New Hampshire Layne Riggs continues on a tear at the top of the truck charts in wins and points after winning on Saturday in New Hampshire. The Team EJP 175 started on a clear Saturday afternoon in front of a great crowd! Pole sitter Riggs took off in his Ford F-150 with Connor Zilisch nearby. It only took a few laps to witness a few cars comping together, those being Luke Baldwin and Jake Garcia. Once back to racing, Zilisch was on point holding off Riggs and Daniel Hemric as they watched the young driver claim the first stage honors. On to the second stage where Garcia led 13 laps before Chandler Smith took a turn, only to watch Zilisch regain the lead and win the second stage. Not long into the final stage saw more caution flags, this time involving the three race cars of Timmy Hill, John Hunter Nemechek and Kris Wright. Wright’s truck was done for the day while the others returned to the fray. On a late restart, Gio Ruggiero overcooked it, taking out a total of five cars including Christian Eckes and Andrés Pérez. The final laps saw Riggs get up on the wheel to catch and pass Stewart Friesen for his sixth checkers of the season and 11th career win. The rest of the top-five finishers included Smith, Kaden Honeycutt, Friesen and Zilisch. I’d be remiss not to mention 16-year-old rookie Tristan McKee finishing a very impressive sixth in only his second truck race! We’ll be seeing more of this name going forward. Looking at the current points standings shows Riggs still on top by 99 points over Honeycutt and 171 in front of Smith. The trucks start a three-week

CONTRACT CONTINUED FROM FRONT
CONTINUED FROM FRONT and replaced with a new lightcolored semi-circle counter that invites customers to step up and connect with tellers. A community table in the center has seating so customers can comfortably complete the paperwork for their transactions or it can be used for a brief meeting. A new ceiling and upgrades to the AC unit were addressed. The final touch was interior signage throughout and a large mural of downtown Greensboro covering the walls near the entrance. The exterior was also updated with a smoother walkway from the parking area to the entrance, creating better access to the building for those with disabilities. “It is important that our customers get the best service,” Callicutt said. “We strive for a full relationship with them.” In addition to Callicutt, other members of the banking team include assistant manager Beata Szekely, along with Debbie
McDonald, Sharon Edwards and Emily Scott. The bank got its start in Rocky Mount, Va., in 1974, and was called First National Bank of Rocky Mount. It wasn’t until December 2006 when 10 banks consisting of 123 branches in Virginia and North Carolina merged to form what was called, Carter Bank & Trust, named after its late founder, Worth H. Carter, Jr. The bank operates 64 branches in Virginia and North Carolina and offers a full range of deposit products, including its signature product, “Home of Lifetime Free Checking,” which was launched in 1974. The Adams Farm office has been in the local community since 1998 when Carter purchased the former Wachovia building and opened the facility as Patrick Henry National Bank. The facility was re-branded in 2006 as Carter Bank and Trust and is now known as Carter Bank.
The Bank offers a wide array of banking products for both individual consumers and businesses. Its motto is, “We’re here to create opportunities for more people and businesses to prosper so you can live life to the fullest.” “Mr. Carter liked old fashion banking and we did not get debit cards until 2018,” Callicutt said. “But now they are issued instantly onsite at the time accounts are opened.” As the staff and customers settle into the bank’s new look, another new service has been added that was not available in the past. The recent renovations included an ATM. “It is getting lots of use,” Callicutt said. “We want to make sure we serve all the needs of this community.” The upcoming open house will give the community an opportunity to see the bank’s new look and learn more about the banking opportunities it offers.

attorney who works with the Sheriff’s Department and [our attorney Rob Brown] it’s been a labor of effort over the past 6-9 months or longer to try to get to this point. I’m glad. “I think there’s a couple of important things that are now defined with this agreement that we haven’t previously had. One is the traditional law enforcement services. That effectively responds to and answers one of the questions I had of the sheriff about if we make a change in our relationship with our funding parameters and what we’d like in the way of support services, will we be guaranteed 24/7/365 response. That’s clarified in this agreement that we’re receiving the same level of response activity through these traditional enforcement services that other communities like us that aren’t paying for a supplemental contract arrangement. “The second point, the Augmented Law Enforcement services we are paying for, we are specifically directly assigned four deputies in the District 3 substation [on Hillstone Drive in Jamestown] with four patrol shifts. So, as long as the deputy’s not out on personal leave, vacation or sick, we will be guaranteed that support of having a deputy inside the town limits on a continuous basis. “Thanks to everybody for working through it, sticking to it, getting it done. It’s important as we continue to look through these legacy agreements and continue to keep our eyes on the physical stewardship of the town and our responsibilities for oversight that we use these opportunities to continue to be satisfied with the services we’re buying from these providers.” “I’ve been the primary one to say I don’t think we should budget this money for the Sheriff’s Department, said Councilmember Sarah Glanville. “It’s nothing against the department, staff or services. I respect [them] very much. I know their job is very difficult. My big thing is I just don’t feel like we should pay through our Jamestown property taxes on top of what we already pay through Guilford County taxes. I’m satisfied with the service we would get if we were not paying for this augmented service. “But, that being said, because the Council decided to fund the augmented services …,” Glanville joined with the other councilmembers in approving the contract.

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK: ◆ ◆ Moderate
7
◆◆ Challenging ◆◆◆ HOO BOY! ©2025 King Features Synd., Inc.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) As tensions ease on the home front, you can once again focus on changes in the workplace. Early difficulties are soon worked out. Stability returns as adjustments are made. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new romance tests the unattached Bovine’s patience to the limit. But Venus still rules the Taurean heart, so expect to find yourself trying hard to make this relationship work. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to consider home-related purchases. But shop around carefully for the best price, whether it’s a new house for the family or a new hose for the garden. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A contentious family member seems intent on creating problems. Best advice: Avoid stepping in until you know more about the origins of this domestic disagreement. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A recent job-related move
proves to be far more successful than you could’ve imagined. Look for continued beneficial fallout. Even your critics have something nice to say! VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Ease up and stop driving yourself to finish a certain project on a deadline that’s no longer realistic. Your superiors will be open to requests for an extension. Ask for it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You should soon be hearing some positive feedback on a recent business move. Meanwhile, an old family problem recurs, but this time, you’ll know how to handle it better. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprising statements shed light on the problem that caused a oncewarm relationship to cool off. Use this newly won knowledge to help turn things around. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your spiritual side is especially strong at this time. Let yourself be guided by it into deeper contemplation of aspects about yourself that
you’d like to understand better. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your merrier aspect continues to dominate and attract folks who rarely see this side of you. Some serious new romancing could develop out of all this cheeriness. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re always concerned about the well-being of others. It’s time that you put some of this concern into your own health situation, especially where it involves nutrition. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Just when you thought your life had finally stabilized, along comes another change that needs to be addressed. Someone you trust can help you deal with it successfully. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sixth sense when it comes to finding people who need help long before they think of asking for it. And you’re right there to provide it! ©2026 King Features Synd., Inc.
Couch Theatre BY DEMI TAVERAS “The Whisper Man” (R) — Based on the novel by Alex North, this crime thriller film, premiering Aug. 28, was produced by the Russo Brothers (“Avengers: Endgame”) and stars Robert De Niro (“The Alto Knights”), Michelle Monaghan (“The White Lotus”), and Adam Scott (“Severance”). Although it’s deemed a crime thriller, it’s got the tone of a fullon horror flick, and with the dark subject matter at hand, it’s sure to keep the hairs on your arms standing. Scott portrays Tom, a widowed father to an 8-year-old son, who decides to move his family to a quiet town named Featherbank to start anew. Featherbank, how-
ever, used to be tormented by a serial killer named the Whisper Man, and somehow, the killer has escaped. Tom’s son is subsequently taken, leaving him with no choice but to reach out to his estranged father, a detective named Pete (De Niro), to help find the missing boy.

Peacock. This coming-ofage drama film is directed by Kiyoko and stars Maya da Costa (“Descendants: Wicked Wonderland”) and Myra Molloy (“He’s All That”). Da Costa plays 17-year-old Coley, who begins a new chapter of her life in rural Oregon with her estranged father, Curtis (Zach Braff). Soon after she moves, Coley meets another girl named Sonya (Molloy), and they form a deep emotional connection that’s bound to leave one girl heartbroken. (Peacock) “Desert Warrior” (R) — AGC Studios made an interesting choice in producing a $150-million historicalaction film led by Anthony Mackie (“Captain America: Brave New World”). While
Mackie is incredibly talented, his latest “Captain America” installment didn’t fill theater seats like Chris Evans’ previous three films, and “Desert Warrior” didn’t even make $1 million at the box office. Still, this film could be a great choice for those who enjoy periodpiece action films. Mackie takes on the role of Hanzala, a legendary bandit in 7thcentury Asia who agrees to assist an exiled princess in her revolution against a tyrannical empire. Not only must he unite tribes against Emperor Kisra (Ben Kingsley), but he must also face the emperor’s ruthless soldier Jalabzeen (Sharlto Copley) in direct combat. Premieres Aug. 28.

Here's A Tip BY JOANN DERSON NOW HERE'S A TIP • Need to transport a bow while you are transporting a present? Place it inside a zip-top sandwich bag, close partway, fill with air and seal. The bow will make it to your destination uncrushed, and you can stick it on at the last minute. • “The combination of one part warm water and three parts baking soda makes a great paste for removing rust spots. Simply use an old toothbrush in a circular motion to smear in the paste and wipe away rust.” — C.B. in Alaska • Having trouble starting that backyard charcoal grill? Maybe you just need to head for the snack table. Potato chips and nacho tortilla chips (like Doritos) will burn bright and hot enough to cook your dinner, and certainly well enough to give your charcoal a great start. • Make a floating noodle cooler for your pool with this easy trick: You’ll need a plastic container, a bungee cord or length of rope that will wrap around the container and a pool noodle cut into four pieces, no longer than the sides of the container. Run the cord or rope through the noodle pieces, line noodle pieces along sides of container, and secure rope or cord tightly an inch or so lower than the container’s lip. Toss in pool, fill with drinks and ice, and enjoy. • Recycling one glass bottle saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours. • “Small lids from plastic margarine containers can be used as a burger-patty size guide. And if you have more than a few around, you can use them to separate patties for the freezer. They make it easy to grab one or two patties for the grill right from the freezer. Otherwise, I find that I must defrost several that are stuck together.” — P.W. in Indiana Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 1800 Pembrook Dr., Suite 300, Orlando, FL 32810. ©2026 King Features Synd., Inc.
