December 31, 2021 Coats Museum News
The current calendar marks the last day of 2021 but as we revisit our yesterdays, we find that it was the January 30, 1989 Daily Record that printed the CACC Business Focus of the Week was the Quality Auto Sales. Chamber President C.J. Johnson shared that the business was owned and operated by Fleming Peede with the help of Mary Stephenson, bookkeeper and office manager.
According to “Notes”, the Coats Senior Center, under the direction of Peggy Brown, had begun a new “Telephone Reassurance” program that made daily calls to elder or disabled locals to confirm their safety. Ruth Parrish was chairperson of the committee with the assistance of Rebeth Mitchell and Thessie Daniel. The notes also wrote that Lillian Jeffreys had moved from the Dunn area to Coats and had become an active member of the Coats Senior Center. She was mother of Emery Jeffreys, managing editor of the Daily Record.
Dot Byrd spoke to the Gleaners Sunday school class at CBC when they met at the home of Margaret House. Dot delighted the class with the song, “Just as I Am” as her topic. G.R. Stephenson was doing better, so he and his wife Janet were able to attend church. Mrs. Eula Byrd, aunt to Thomas Williams, had been ill. Greensboro residents Charles Spivey and Joy Dan were visiting Charles’ mother, Mrs. Carlie Spivey, and Joy Dan’s sons-Scott Fleming and Forrest and his wife Janet.
Diane and Fleming Parker were grateful to all their friends for the kindness shown to their daughter Rebecca Williams after her accident. Get well wishes were also sent to Tom Tart, Bill Akerman, Bartley Cook, Rosa Rambeau and MaryRoss Williams.
C.J. Johnson, vice president; Dottie Tyndall, treasurer and Glenda Denton, secretary, were joining Randy Rambeau as officers of the CACC. New directors also joining the team were Ronald Wiggins of Wiggins Paint and Drywall, Marie Watson Insurance, and Scott Carpenter of Pope’s family Center.
Something exciting news came to students at Coats Elementary School. The school had a new television system to support the new distribution project designed by Carsie Denning, Sr. and Levin Beasley. Wendy McLeod, manager of Family Video, donated the new TV. The acquisition and installation of the system were the endeavor of Marie Salmon and the SEEK organization for the school (Daily Record Jan. 30, 1989).
CACC recognized Rudy Collins Farm Center as the Business Focus of the Week. The business was owned and operated by Rudy Collins with assistance from Jim Hurley and Tim Jackson. The business was the former Ennis Supply owned by Warren Ennis (Daily Record Feb. 1, 1989). Do you know where and who built the original building that is mentioned here?
I do know that the CACC paid tribute to seven community-spirited volunteers at their annual chamber banquet. The Man of the Year was Tim Brown and the Woman of the Year was Margaret House. The awardees accepted the honor from the former honorees-Mr. J.D. Norris and Mrs. Ann Jones. Jesse Ray Mann presented the Farmer of the Year to Kent Turlington. The Coats Woman’s Club awarded the Coats Woman’s Club Woman of the Year to Ann Jones and the Family of the Year Award went to the Johnnie Barnes Family. Receiving the award were Hazel Barnes and her three children-Mrs. Janice Daniel, Col. Bill Barnes and David Barnes. The town’s emergency volunteers honored were Tim Stephenson-Coats Grove Fireman of the Year and Ricky Ennis, Rescue Squad Member of the Year.
Kathy Sorrell who helped M.O. Phillips with producing the Business Focus of the Week for the Daily Record was also honored. Mrs. Ann Jones passed the president’s gavel to the new CACC new president- Randy Rambeau.
Carolyn Moore, an employee of Coats Flower and Gift Shop, reported that the owners, Edna Mangum and Linda Wallace, had lots of items in time for Valentine Day. Polly Ennis of the American Red Cross was pleased with the 48 pints of blood from the Bloodmobile Drive at the Coats Baptist Church.
The RA boys from the CBC went on a one-day ski trip to Sugar Mountain. The boys going on the trip were Doug Christian, Jeff Allen, Brooks West, Garyen Denning, Jason Parrish, Patrick Jenkins, and Kyle Turlington. The adults attending were Doug Christian, Carsie Denning, Jr., Jimmy Allen, Ron Jenkins, Kent Turlington, and Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Turlington.
Derek T. Currin was appointed to the board of directors at CACC. He was a recent graduate of Campbell University and worked with Applied Computer Technologies (Daily Record Feb. 8, 1989).
The “Notes” column reported sympathy was extended to the families of Ode l Hasty, 74, formerly of Coats. Sympathy was also expressed to Mrs. Iva McLeod and Delma Hardison in the death of their brother, R.B. Hardison, Jr., of Benson.
Donald Smith was proud to welcome his daughter, Diana Smith Lischin to the Coats Pharmacy after her graduation from the UNC School of Pharmacy in Chapel Hill. Don and his wife, Anne Smith, have another daughter, Amelia Smith, who was 10 years old.
Wonder if Diana Lischin could have even imagined the impact she would have in our small town. Not only is she a pharmacist but she provides a destination for shopping for gifts and other necessaries. Some of the most current merchandise is available from the minute one passes through the doors of her business. She has provided employment for so many senior citizens while at the same time finding jobs for many of our younger folks. It would be a disservice to her not to mention all the young pharmacists she had placed behind her counters.
It was time for the CACC to hold its annual awards banquet. Ray Wilkerson was the speaker and he had brought with him Freddie Pierce who had selected Sammy Pope from the audience to help him in his performance.
Elaine Marshall was the speaker for the program at the Lions Club meeting where Hazeline Strickland was inducted as the first “Lady Lion”. More than 50 members, former members and guests were present for the induction meeting (Daily Record Feb.10, 1989).
Happy news was announced by Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Harper of Coats when they announced the engagement of their daughter, Sharessa Renee Harper, to Shelton Dean Pope, son of Mr. and Mrs. Shelton Lee Pope of Route 2, Angier.
Every day is blessed when one has friends like Dana and Randy Byrd, Becky Adams, Lynda and Robie Butler who have given honorariums for birthday wishes and Christmas to the museum. Gifts don’t have to be in colored paper and fancy bows to be so special.
Are you ready for the New Year? Do you follow the many traditions and superstitions that go with the second most celebrated holiday of year? Are the black-eyed peas soaking so they can be cooked tomorrow for all that eat them receive lots of coins during 2022 and don’t forget to remind them to leave three peas on the plate?
Collards or greens are very important that you eat if you want to have lots of paper money during 2022. Make sure you check before the IGA closes tonight to get collards because few of his stores had them at Thanksgiving.
Do you have your pork ready to cook tomorrow? Pork is important because the pig roots around with his snout in a forward motion. Don’t eat chicken-they have to scratch out their food.
Some folks must have sauerkraut on the table, especially those of German lineage because they believe that it brings good luck. They wish each other as many riches as there are shreds of cabbage in the sauerkraut.
The meal is not complete unless there are at least 12 round fruits served at the table according to Filipino tradition. Can you even find 12 round fruits in our stores?
Don’t forget to take the baked yellow corn bread out of the oven because it is important that it be served with the meal. For deeper pockets, you might want to throw in a few yellow corn kernels- more gold for you in 2022.
Is anything missing? At my table we love sweet potatoes so I always cook up a big sweet potato soufflé. Is there anything else missing from that day? We can’t celebrate the New Year without honoring the many superstitions. Right?
Make sure you have washed up all the items you need. No washing on New Year’s Day because you will be washing for the dead in 2022. Don’t take anything out of the house on New Year’s Day and by all means be careful of whom you let enter your house tomorrow because your first visitor will influence your entire year.
For goodness sake pay your bills before you go to bed tonight and work a little tomorrow but not too much.
HAPPY NEW YEAR from the folks at the Coats Museum.
