Cooleemee March Update: Spring is Just Around the Corner!

Posted on by Cooleemee Admin

Good morning, Cooleemee and neighboring residents,

I hope this update finds everyone well and staying warm as another cold front moves through. Don’t worry—spring is just around the corner! And nothing signals that better than springing your clocks forward this weekend on Sunday, March 9, at 2 a.m.—or just before you go to bed Saturday night.

Newsletters finally went out after a brief delay due to printer issues. For those who may not have a P.O. Box in Cooleemee, I’ve included a copy of the newsletter in this update.

The Cooleemee Historical Association (CHA) is hosting its 10th annual BBQ event on Saturday, March 15, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (or until sold out). Join us at the Zachary House Grounds, located at 131 Church St., Cooleemee, for great BBQ, fellowship, and a chance to check out some of the recent updates.

The Town has begun the initial steps for the 2025–2026 budget. We expect things to remain fairly consistent as we work with the Sheriff’s Department and other town services to ensure we meet the needs of all our citizens.

Spring Cleanups are scheduled within the town limits on March 24 and 25.

If you live on Joyner, Watt, Duke, Church, Yadkin, Erwin, Davie, Cross, Marginal, or Main Streets, your pickup will be on Monday, March 24. Please note that backtracking will not be performed—items placed out after your pickup day will not be collected.

If you live on Center, Grove, Holt, Midway, 801, Hickory, Ruffin, Westview, Riverside, or within the town limits on Neely, Junction, and Gladstone Roads, your pickup will be on Tuesday, March 25. We recommend placing your items out after trash service on Friday, March 21, and no later than sunset on Sunday, March 23. Again, once your location is passed, there will be no return for additional items.

Planning continues for the new Community Center, and we expect to see much activity on this project in early spring. Additionally, paving is set for Ruffin and Erwin Streets this spring, with Cross and Church Streets scheduled for paving after the Community Center construction wraps up.

The Town’s next Board meeting will be held on Monday, March 17, at 6 p.m.

This is an important meeting where we’ll discuss purchasing equipment for shuffleboard, bocce, and pickleball.

We’ll also discuss whether the Town and Davie County Schools can reach an agreement on the property at Neely Road, where the basketball court is located. The Town leases and maintains this property, but that lease has recently expired. We’ll also cover a few other items, including the budget. Your participation is crucial, and we look forward to your input.

We hope everyone has a wonderful March. By the time of the next update, we should be enjoying some warmer, outdoor-friendly weather. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely, Steven Corriher
Clerk/Finance

January 2025 Clerk’s Corner

Posted on by Cooleemee Admin

Happy New Year, Cooleemee and Neighbors,

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas with family and friends and that your New Year is filled with health, happiness, and joy.

As we roll into the New Year, we have a few things to share: Christmas Tree Pickup (if you have a real tree only) will be on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Please place trees at the road by Monday evening. Artificial trees will not be picked up. You will need to make arrangements to haul those off, as the Town contractor is not responsible for the disposal of artificial trees. The following week, Tuesday, January 14, 2025, will be the last leaf pickup of the season. I know the rains have caused delays and slowed the ability to rake, blow, and even pick up leaves, but this will be the last day the town offers pickup under its contract. 

Trash and Recycling days have been scheduled for 2025. You can print the schedule from the Town’s website HERE. Also, Electronic Recycling Days have been announced today, with Saturday, January 25, 2025, being the first of those here in Davie County at the site at 360 Dalton Rd. Mocksville. The other three dates are Saturday, April 19, Saturday, July 26, & Saturday, October 25. You can take old TVs, computers, and other electronics to the site for dumping. There is a place in East Spencer that collects electronics year-round at 1102 N. Long St East Spencer 28039 if one of the four dates in Davie is not convenient for you. 

The Town has partnered with Fuller Architect & Davie Construction to get the Community Center up and running. We are currently in the location stage, making sure we place the building in an ideal location for access, weather (rain run-off), and appropriate spacing. Then, we will move into the design phase and see what we can hold in there versus what we and citizens have stated they would like to see. We are confident the library will be part of that; we will have handicapped-accessible restrooms, a publicly usable kitchen, rentable space for your parties and gatherings, and perhaps a small fitness center and meeting rooms for larger Town meetings or local event planning. We are excited to see the finished product in the coming year and hope you all are as well.

Dates to remember: Town Hall will be closed on Monday, January 20, 2025, to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Therefore, the Town’s regular meeting on the third Monday of each month has been moved to the fourth Monday, January 27, 2025, for this month. 

This a reminder that new speed limit signs are being posted all over Town. This is to follow proper regulations of DOT and the Sheriff Dept. as we are a Town of 35 MPH unless posted otherwise. Back in 2014, the town adopted a 25 MPH in town limits unless otherwise posted. Green Signs coming into Town will continue to say and will remain to say 35 unless posted. However, every Town street will now be posted at 25. We are not allowed to change the state-regulated town limit sign stating the 35. To properly enforce 25 MPH each street needs to be marked. This project will be complete by next week. Streets that weren’t properly marked were Joyner, Midway, Westview, Riverside, Duke St coming from Main, Yadkin, Erwin, & Ruffin. 

Streets that were marked and will continue to be 25 MPH are Watt, Center, Grove, Marginal, and Main. Streets marked differently due to DOT are Gladstone at 35 MPH, Junction at 35 MPH, and HWY 801 at 40 MPH. Just be mindful as Law Enforcement is now going to be enforcing speed limits firmly for a while to get speeding under control in the Town.

If you or someone you know would like to serve the Town in any way, we have spots on committees such as Beautification and Events. Submit your name, phone number, and email to the Clerk at 131 Church St., Cooleemee. You do not need to live inside Town Limits to be on these committees. If you know of anyone wanting to be included in these monthly updates, please have them provide their name and email. You can also reply to this email or use the contact information below.   

Thanks, everyone, until next Month!

December Clerk’s Corner

Posted on by Cooleemee Admin

Good Day, Cooleemee and surrounding area residents,

We hope this update finds everyone doing well and feeling a little less stuffed than last Thursday for Thanksgiving. With that said, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and is now getting prepared for YES, Christmas!

We saw our first snow in the area this week, which was exciting for most, I am sure; it’s been a little while since we saw that.

I first need to update everyone on the Christmas Trash Pickup schedule. Pickup will occur on Saturday, December 28th, NOT Friday, December 27th, as usual.

This allows them to catch up as they do not operate on Wednesday, Christmas Day. If you take your cans out Thursday as usual, you will not be cited for the cans being at the roads too long by code officers.

The Christmas Parade was a great event this year, with the Cooleemee Historical Association holding a Fudge Contest with 11 entries and festivities following the Parade. Congratulations to Kathy Cook on winning the Fudge Contest; this was her first attempt at making Fudge, and to pull off the 1st place prize was something. Next year, we hope to have all the same events, including the fudge contest, so go start practicing now.

Most can see the Pool Demo project is now complete, and grass has started growing in that area. While we know some are heartbroken over that decision, including board members, seeing the condition most of the Pool and Bathhouse were in, confirmed the right decision was made to allow the Town to move forward with other projects.

We also want folks to be mindful that the town is placing new Speed Limit signs throughout the town as some streets are missing or may never have had any up. This will allow deputies to patrol and enforce speed better throughout the town. The speed limit in town is 25MPH; please be mindful of this.
The Planning Board has a meeting scheduled for Monday, December 9th, at 6 p.m., at the Zachary House/Town Hall to talk with and discuss zoning regulations with the County Zoning Administrator Johnny Easter, as the Town currently has an agreement with Davie County for such services. The public is welcome to attend. However, public comment is not entertained at Planning Board meetings.

The next Town Board meeting is set for Monday, December 16, at 6 p.m. We will have our 23/24 Audit Presentation and a Presentation from Family Promise of Davie County, along with a few other things, followed by a small Christmas gathering with snacks and fellowship. Again, the public is welcome to attend, and public comments will be entertained at this meeting. If you have something to say, or report, or just want to wish the Board a Merry Christmas, please feel free to do so.

The River Park (Bullhole) is in winter hours, with short staff days. The hours are Friday, Saturday, & Sunday, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., and admission is free. These hours and fees will be in place through March 31, 2025.

Lastly, Town Offices will be closed for Christmas on Tuesday, Dec 24, Wednesday, Dec 25, & Thursday, Dec 26. We currently plan to be open on Monday, Dec 23, and Friday, Dec 27.

Quick Recap:

  • Cooleemee Town Board Meeting, Monday, December 16 at 6 p.m.
  • Trash pickup will be on Saturday, December 28th, NOT Friday, December 27th.
  • The River Park (Bullhole) winter hours are Friday, Saturday, & Sunday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., and admission is free.
  • Cooleemee Town offices will be closed on Tuesday, Dec. 24, 25 & 26th.

Until next year, folks, I hope you and your families have a Safe, Happy, and very Merry Christmas. We will talk soon!

October Update From the Town Clerk

Posted on by Cooleemee Admin

Good morning, Town of Cooleemee residents,

Many things happening around our state and Town in the past weeks.

Firstly, we continue praying and thinking about the folks west of us. That storm was very close to home and could have, at any minute, taken a slight turn towards Cooleemee and Davie County. While we are glad that did not happen, we know many folks in our area were still impacted, whether they have family in those areas, were vacationing in those areas, or have friends in and around those areas.  

We also want to send HUGE shout-outs to many Davie County, Cooleemee, and Mocksville Fire, Rescue, EMT, DOT, and any other volunteers I may not have mentioned that have traveled these roads over the past week aiding and assisting wherever they are needed. It is nice to know if we in Davie/Cooleemee ever need assistance, these amazing folks are already right here.

Many have probably noticed, heard, or even felt the demolition of the old pool over on Duke St. and may have seen a survey crew out and about around the whole Zachary House grounds in the past weeks. These folks are working hard for us as we navigate through building a new community center here in the heart of our Town. The rains and the hurricane have slowed progress somewhat, but this dryer weather expected in the next week is very welcoming and needed for the Town to complete some projects, and I am sure you all to complete some outdoor projects. 

We will be having a Planning Board meeting on Monday, October 14th, at 6 p.m. here at Town Hall/Zachary House, mainly to bring the newly developed board up to speed on what they do and why, but also to discuss the Sign Ordinance. We still need at least one more participant and one alternate for the planning board. If you or someone you know live within town limits and would like to take part, send them my way. It is a state statute, not a Town requirement that they reside within the town limits. I get that question a lot, “Why can’t I do this? I am only half a mile out of Town,” but again, we, the Town, are not allowed to move the lines, and we, the Town, are not allowed to go outside those boundaries currently. 

The next Town Board meeting will be Monday, October 21st, at 6 p.m. An agenda will be posted on Facebook and in the Town Bulletin the week of October 14th.

Code Enforcement is making waves in some areas of the Town. As we all know,  some folks correct issues right away, and some do not. There are processes that have to take place to properly move forward on less motivated folks, but be assured the Town and Code Officers are working to get many of these areas corrected as quickly as possible. If you notice a potential violation, please reach out to Town Hall at 336-284-2141 or email the Clerk at scorriher@cooleemee.org.  I promise these inquiries stay confidential. 

Early voting starts Thursday, October 17, and runs through Saturday, November 2, 2024, with official Election Day being Tuesday, Nov 5, 2024. Three places to vote early are the Davie County Board of Elections Office located at 161 Poplar St., Suite 102 Mocksville; Jerusalem Volunteer Fire Dept. located at 7185 HWY 801S Mocksville (Greasy Corner); and if you are in Advance/Bermuda Run area, you can vote at Bermuda Run Town hall located at 120 Kinderton Blvd. Bermuda Run 27006. You can also reach out to the Elections office at 336-753-6072 with questions. 

The Town is not hosting a Halloween event this year, but we are hosting the Christmas Parade on November 30th at 4 p.m. The parade will start at Cooleeemee Elementary School on Marginal St. and end at the Zachary House, where The Cooleemee Historical Association will host an event to end the day. Please start spreading the word and plan to attend. 

Thank you all. We will be seeing you and talking soon!

Cooleemee Elementary’s Carmen Lawrence Named DCS District Teacher of the Year

Posted on by Cooleemee Admin

Davie County Schools District Teacher of the Year Carmen Lawrence. 

While standing on stage with nine other teachers representing schools in Davie County, Carmen Lawrence heard her name announced as Davie County District Teacher of the Year. With hands in the air, she gave a big shout-out to the faculty seated to her left because she was so happy for the school.

 “I don’t know why they chose me. All teachers strive to be the best they can be, and I’m not saying I’m better than all the rest, but it truly is an honor,” said Lawrence.

 In May of this year, Lawrence was awarded teacher of the year for Cooleemee School. She has been a first-grade teacher at Cooleemee School for the past six years. 

 Having a church family who gave her the opportunity to be involved in bible school helped keep her desire to become a teacher strong.

 In her classroom, she strives to provide a variety of learning levels and to respect different disabilities while recognizing their unique strengths and interests. Having each child experience a job or role develops their self-esteem and reinforces their sense of belonging to a team.

Lawrence admits teaching is a balancing act.  She isn’t the same teacher as she was nine years ago or last year.  Each year, she strives to do more, be better, grow and learn, and allow herself to learn from her own experiences. She is excited about implementing a first-grade improvement plan. Teaching a first grader to recall a memory by drawing pictures and then adding words to the pictures evolves into a sentence.  This simple concept is being used by all grade levels to make a difference in writing skills.

In the designated parking spot, Lawerence pulls in a new car provided by Flow Honda of Winston Salem, which she will drive for a full year. 

Each teacher of the year in Davie County schools received $100 from Chris Sheppard Reality.  A gold star showing her name is posted at her classroom door.

 Each teacher of the year in Davie County Schools received $595 dollars from the Davie Community Foundation. For the district teacher of the year, Davie Community Foundation awarded Cooleemee School $1000 dollars.

 “Anyone who works around children knows that children thrive off someone who listens to them, shows respect, sends encouragement, helps them, and believes in them. These are the things that I strive to do for children everywhere, whether that be in the classroom, my church, or even in the community,” says Lawerence.

 Congratulations Cooleemee School, you have the best.

 Feel free to contact me at cooleemeenews@gmail.com or call at 336.250.1133. I would love to hear from you.

Clerk’s Corner – Summer 2024

Welcome to the Clerk’s Corner – Summer 2024 Edition

July 4th Parade

If you or someone you know would like to help, enter, or watch, please make sure to join us.

But we will have it!

Community Center

We have received a $1 million grant to aid with the construction of a new Community Center. Current plans are that the building will hold the Town Hall, Town Meetings, and the Davie County Library Cooleemee Branch, which will be relocated from the Shopping Center. The building will have a small Kitchen and a room available for rent with the use of that kitchen. We hope to add a small exercise room that perhaps will hold a few treadmills, a bike or two, and at least one workout machine for some weight training. We hope this Center is just the start and will grow in the coming years, adding bigger and even better things in and around the Center!

Code Enforcement

Being a big topic here in Town the past little while we have a contract that will be on the agenda in June for approval, we are very hopeful this will be started back up by July 1, 2024, and in full swing.
