When northern industrialist Clarence Mackay wanted some leisure time for his family and acquaintances, he purchased about 1,100 wild acres in Jamestown and opened a hunting lodge — Deep River Lodge, which was in operation from 1895-1935. The area was a popular quail-hunting destination — once described as a place where “quail shooting is of the finest” — and visitors, including other wealthy industrialists, arrived by train at the old Jamestown depot.

Mackay was not the only person with the idea of Southern recreation. Other famous names like William Gould Brokaw, George J. Gould and Pierre Lorillard also called the area home

for several months of the year. The closest lodge to Mackay’s was John Blackwell Cobb’s Sedgefield.

Exhibit

The High Point Museum exhibit, “Fields and Feathers, Hunting at Deep River Lodge 1895-1935,” chronicles the everyday life at a hunting lodge and kennel. It also focuses on the Armstrong family through letters, photographs and souvenirs, such as calling cards of visitors.

A display at the exhibit reads, “The grassy fields, farmland and pine woods contributed to the abundance of the Northern Bobwhite quail in the Piedmont and to the attraction of the area for hunting retreats. Quail have short lifespans in the wild but produce two or three broods a season. They are fast-flying

Music in thE ParK

The summer schedule for Jamestown’s Music in the Park will kick off May 5 at 6 p.m. at Wrenn Miller Park. Dust off your dancing shoes as Dante’s Roadhouse starts the season with originals and covers inspired by 60’s and 70’s rock music.

Food trucks available include Fresh Catch Seafood, Marty’s BBQ, Giannos Wood Fired Pizza, Gunny Smith Hot Dogs, Gianno’s Gelato and Duck Donuts. Four Saints will offer beer and Weathervane will provide wine to interested patrons.

The next Music in the Park event will be held on June 2.

Grill safEty

As it gets warmer, more people tend to enjoy time outside, which includes cooking with grills. Pinecroft/ Sedgefield Fire Department offers these suggestions to help stay safe when cooking outdoors:

• Never leave a grill unattended when cooking.

• Keep the grill at least 3 feet away from your home.

• When using propane ensure all the fittings are tight and there is no leaking gas.

• When using charcoal use approved lighter fluid and approved grill lighters.

• Always clean the grill before and after each use to ensure no flare-ups happen.

and small, providing a challenging target. Dogs flush coveys of quail into the air and hunters must be quick and accurate to make a successful shot.”

There were about 30 shooting days during the season with an average of 600 birds killed. Kennels

To save visitors the bother of crating up their personal

dogs and bringing them here, Deep River Lodge, located in what is now Cedarwood, established a kennel across from the lodge property where Edward Armstrong’s family took care not only of the dogs but arrangements for the hunts. This property has recently been known as the Johnson Farm, along Guilford College and Mackay roads.

Armstrong came from England where he worked in the same profession of dog training and hunting excursions. Many of the dogs also were sent to Jamestown from England.

These kennels were not what we think of today for family pets. They could have been as elaborately constructed as some of the lodges and the working dogs

were well looked after. The late Ted Johnson, a grandson of the Armstrongs, once said “the kennel had running water before many people in High Point did.” Many documents and photos of prizewinning canines from Deep River Lodge were found in the Armstrong house in 2021.

Turning imperfection into perfectly beautiful

A casual conversation over dinner with friends at the Full Moon Oyster Bar in Jamestown has turned into a part-time business for Virginia Washburn Rothermel. Her husband had ordered oysters and a discussion about crafts made from oyster shells ensued.

Rothermel had seen items made from oyster shells that, although pretty, were in her estimation quite pricey.

“I wanted to try making something and brought my husband’s shells home,” she said.

Online research was key to learning how to thoroughly clean the shells as well as ways to decorate and use them.

“Oysters are bottom-feeders so the shells can be full of bacteria. If not cleaned well they could begin to smell,” Rothermel said. “I soak them in a bleach solution for 48 hours, twice the recommended time. I then wash the shells with soap and water and allow them to air dry. The whole process takes about two and a half days.”

Once the shells are cleaned, she uses pictures

Nominations for 2023 preservation award due May 12

By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

Do you know a person or a group of people who have contributed to the history of Jamestown? If so, the Historic Jamestown Society is again accepting applications for the Mary A. Browning Historic Preservation Award.

Eligibility rules are simple: Candidates are not required to be Jamestown citizens and nominations for posthumous awards will be considered. The contributions of all nominees must be directly related to the preservation, interpretation or research of Jamestown history. Selection will be based on significance, quality, leadership, impact, performance and dedication.

Categories include Archeology, Education and Outreach, Lifetime Achievement, Heritage Interpretation, Research, Documentation/ Survey Work, Activism/Advocacy, Structural Preservation/Restoration, Archival Activities, or other.

A nomination form is available at the Mendenhall Homeplace, 603 W. Main St. and on the website, www.mendenhallhomeplace.com. Forms are also available at the Jamestown Town Hall.

Mail your nomination to Historic Jamestown Society, P.O. Box 512, Jamestown, NC 27282, or bring it by the Homeplace during hours of operation. Include a letter of nomination explaining why this person or group is a candidate for the Mary A. Browning Historic Preservation Award.

The deadline is May 13. If you miss this year’s deadline, there is no need to worry. Applications may be sent any time during the year and will apply to the following year’s award. All nominations received since the last presentation have been kept

and will be considered.

If you have any questions, contact Shawn Rogers at 336-4543819, or director@mendenhallhomeplace.com.

This is the ninth year the award has been presented. Past recipients have included Jack Perdue, the Jamestown Veterans Committee, Mr. and Mrs. William G. Ragsdale Jr., Quentin (Wimpy) Hodgin, Jane Wade, Old Jamestown School Association, Richard Hay and Shirley Haworth.

Established by the Historic Jamestown Society in 2013, the Browning award honors the late well-known local historian and genealogist Mary Browning, who was also the first recipient of the award. She used census records and the National Archives as well as research in the Friends His-

torical Collection at Guilford College, local libraries and newspaper archives to compile her everexpanding notes on the area. Browning almost single-handedly took on the responsibility of documenting the town’s history in five books, multiple newspaper articles and video.

As a professional genealogist, she also used her knowledge to help families research their roots. Browning passed away earlier this year.

The Mary A. Browning Historic Preservation Award will be presented Sunday, May 21, at 3 p.m. The location will be determined. The public is invited to attend to learn some of Jamestown’s history and to become involved in the Historic Jamestown Society.

From The Front

Fooled by Clarence Thomas, not Mark Robinson O

I got fooled, thinking that he would modify his hard right views as he dealt with court cases that would remind him of the unfair challenges that he and his family had faced. I thought he would feel a growing responsibility to interpret the law, when possible, to require fair treatment for Blacks and others suffering unfair treatment.

“I’m sick of these lies about global warming. Stop talking to me about climate change. I know the climate changes, it happens four times a year, it’s called seasons!” [Mark Robinson speech]

An article about the options for Jamestown fire station #46 contained incorrect estimates of several options for the Pinecroft Sedgefield Fire Department. The feasibility study conducted by PSFD indicated options from a low of $918,000 to a high of $12,174,000 We regret the error.

Here's A Tip

By JoAnn de

RS on NO w here'S a ti P

It happened to me back in 1991 when Clarence Thomas was nominated for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Thomas, although African American and coming from a poor background, was known to be very conservative. He grew up in a Gullah community near Savannah, Ga, raised by his grandfather after his father abandoned the family.

I believed, naively, that Thomas’s background growing up poor in the segregated South would be a factor in his growth and maturity, and that he would come to realize that the law should be available for the improvement of the lives of Blacks and other underserved people.

I was wrong. When it comes to evaluating the choices for North Carolina’s next governor, I

won’t be fooled again.

I am thinking about our Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who like Justice Thomas, grew up dealing with the extra challenges facing poor Blacks in our region.

Like Thomas before his confirmation to the Supreme Court, and even more so, Robinson does not hide his strong right-wing views.

Some of these positions have been summarized by a pro-Democratic group, “Donate to Defeat Mark Robinson,” as follows:

abortion

“Once you make a baby, it’s not your body anymore — it’s [the public’s] body.”

[WRAL NEWS]

anti semitism

“This foolishness about Hitler disarming MILLIONS of Jews and then marching them off to concentration camps is a bunch of hogwash.” [Mark Robinson’s Facebook]

black americans

“African Americans love to kill each other and have no problem embracing deviant, hypersexual behavior.” [Mark Robinson’s Facebook]

“I got them AR-15s at home, and I like to go target shooting and all that. But that’s not what they’re there for… I got them AR15s in case the government gets too big for his britches cause I’m gonna fill the backside of them britches with some lead.” [WRAL NEWS]

lGbtQ+ People

“There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth.” [CNN]

women

“We are called to be led by men,” not women. [WRAL NEWS]

This summary is not exactly neutral, having been prepared and circulated by Democrats. But it is based on actual quotes from Robinson. I think Robinson would not question any of it. He understands that his views are strong and controversial and does not back away from them.

Robinson’s forthrightness in acknowledging his positions on these matters persuades me that his background growing up as a struggling, poor Black does not mean that he will be transformed into a progressive figure fighting for equal rights.

I made that mistake once with Clarence Thomas and will not make it again with Mark Robinson.

• When packing cookies in a single layer, I trace the shape of my container on parchment paper using the lid as a template. It’s pretty easy, and it fits exactly.

• Keep a small wastepaper basket or shredder near your entrance if possible. You can get rid of paper items you don’t need (think, junk mail) before it even makes it into the house. This is especially important if you tend to let things pile up, like I do! — R.F. in Louisiana

• For scratch paper, I use the back side of my kids’ extra art pages. We choose the best to display, then they chop up the rest into small booklets, which they staple at the top. And we have notepads! — M.L. in Iowa

• Keep a map or globe in your family or TV room. This way, when a place is mentioned on the news or in another program, you can find it on the map. This is a great thing to do with kids, but it’s handy and worthwhile for anyone. — via email

• If you have a very stinky trash can, scrub it with a paste made from baking soda and just a bit of water. It works as a mild abrasive. Then fill a spray bottle with plain white vinegar and spray. It should foam for a moment. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then rinse well with hot water. Clean and deodorized!

• We have large buckets that store random toys on our back porch. It seems that whenever we’d touch the buckets to get a toy, a horde of mosquitoes would erupt. There’s no water, so we didn’t know what to do. And we didn’t want to douse it with chemicals, as it’s filled with kid stuff. A neighbor suggested we put a few dryer sheets in each one, and they really have worked. I guess the bugs don’t like the smell! — W.S. in Florida

from old books, magazines, napkins, the internet and even photographs to decorate the shells, coating them with two layers of a waterproof sealer to make them durable. She sometimes uses a gold leaf pen to put a border on the shells’ outer edges.

Rothermel admits creating the shells has been a learn-as-you-go process. She has generated social media friends with similar interests who share ideas and product suggestions.

After posting some of her shells on social media in November 2021, her business, which she calls Perfectly Imperfect By Va (short for Virginia), started to grow.

“When deciding on a

name, I looked at the shells and they are so irregular with bumps and different shapes,” Rothermel said. “They are not perfect, just like us. We are perfectly imperfect, that is how God made us. The name just fit.”

People began to message Rothermel and ask for special shells incorporating pictures of their pets and other photos. She started showing her designs at pop-ups and vendor markets as well as placing some in shops.

Last September, Rothermel donated shells to help with Childhood Cancer Awareness and Chad Tucker contacted her to arrange an interview for a segment of Roy’s Folks.

“After that my phone began to ring like crazy,” Rothermel said. “One lady has purchased about 500 shells from me.”

In addition to her individual shell designs, Rothermel has used some of them to create wreaths, prayer boxes, picture frames, Nativity sets and North Carolina maps.

“My favorite thing is to do custom shells with pictures or ideas that a customer has. I am currently making 80 place cards for a wedding reception in Wilmington. The farthest I have sent shells is California. People from other countries have looked at my website, but I have not sent anything out of the States yet. I am

A newspaper in Yorkshire, England, noted this around 1908: “The Mackay kennels are most complete and contain probably the largest number of practical, everyday shooting dogs owned by any kennel in America. They are all highly bred, for Mr. Mackay, a few years ago, was buying the best dogs in America.”

armstrong family

Mackay’s will left the Deep River property to caretaker Armstrong, who lived in the beautiful house that Mackay provided for him on what is now Guilford College Road. The house was recently demolished. But Johnson believed his grandfather didn’t get the entire estate. He said Armstrong bought some of the land.

A future issue of the Jamestown News will relate the interesting story of the Armstrong family.

the future

Earlier this year D.R. Horton Inc. received permission from the Town of Jamestown to construct a residential development on the former Deep River Kennel site.

Many protested the decision, hoping the land could be saved in its current condition.

Others hoped the 1885 Armstrong House on the property could be saved. Knowing the precarious con-

dition of the house, several historians and interested parties went through the house in 2021, salvaging as much as they could, not only of the history of the lodge, but of the Mackay and Armstrong families as well. Demolition of the house surely brought tears to those who watched it come down.

“It had been vandalized over and over,” said Shanna Moore, who has worked with the Armstrong family to sort

open to doing that.”

Since the popularity of her shells has increased, her husband Bill has begun to help with the process. He cleans the shells and drills holes in the ones Rothermel plans to use as ornaments. She sells her finished shells for $10 apiece, sometimes more for custom orders,

The time Rothermel invests in her craft varies depending on the number of orders she has and if she has a show pending.

“Working on the shells is relaxing,” she said. “It is therapy to me. “I like to sit in my craft room with no television or music and just focus on a project or ideas for more designs.”

and inventory the artifacts and was instrumental in creating the exhibit. She videoed the demolition. “The kitchen floor had fallen in. The house was also full of lead, asbestos and enough mothballs and chemicals to stop a truck. They salvaged a lot.

“The exhibit is made up of mostly salvaged items from the house but there is literally enough to fill the entire first floor of the exhibit space. The items found in the Armstrong home tell such a wonderful story that not many people in the area have heard. We wanted to share it.”

wAnt to Go?

Rothermel’s background is actually science, not art. With a degree in nursing, she worked at Hospice Home in High Point for years before beginning to teach health science in Randolph County in 2011. She currently teaches health science in grades 9-12 at Ragsdale High School.

“A friend once told me I had a flair for decorating, but I have never been into crafts,” she said. “I say that I cannot draw a stick man, but designing the shells is not

national Pick Strawberries Day: Celebrate with Fresh, Affordable, and Fun U-Pick Farms

Get ready to pick some juicy, ripe strawberries!

National Pick Strawberries

Day is May 20, and it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy some fresh air, sunshine and delicious fruit.

If you’re not blessed with space for a garden, or a green thumb, you can always visit farms where they let you

pick produce. Not just strawberries, but lots of fruits and veggies. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of harvesting your own produce straight from the source, for several reasons.

It’s affordable. U-pick farms offer an affordable way to get high-quality, fresh produce. By picking your own fruits and vegetables, you are eliminating the cost of labor and trans-

portation, which makes the produce more affordable than buying it at a store.

Many farmer’s markets participate in the Double Up Food Bucks program, which matches the value of SNAP benefits when used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at participating retailers, effectively doubling the purchasing power of the SNAP benefits up to $10.

It’s better quality. U-pick farms provide high-quality produce that is fresher than what you would find in a grocery store. You can pick your produce at the peak of ripeness, which means it will be more flavorful and nutritious.

It’s a fun family activity. Picking fruit and veggies is a great way to spend time and make lasting memories with your family and friends.

Children love to pick their own produce and learn about where their food comes from. It’s also a great way to teach young people about healthy eating habits and the importance of supporting local farmers.

You can support sustainability. U-pick farms promote sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint of transportation and storage. By supporting local farmers, you are also supporting the local economy and helping to reduce food waste.

Not sure where to go?

Here are several national directories that can help you find u-pick farms in the United States, as well as information on what’s in season, recipes, and canning and freezing tips. Some examples include:

PickYourOwn.org: This website provides a directory of u-pick farms across the United States.

LocalHarvest.org: This website allows you to search for u-pick farms in your area by zip code, state or product.

USDA Farmers Market Directory: This directory lists farmers markets, roadside stands and u-pick farms across the United States. You can search by state, city or zip code. (www.ams.usda. gov/local-food-directories/ farmersmarkets)

Now, what to do with your bounty of ripe, delicious strawberries? Here’s an idea! As much as everyone

loves fresh fruit, especially strawberries, you can make the occasion extra special with a festive dessert dip, and this one’s stellar! With only two ingredients and less than five minutes to prepare, I hope you keep this recipe handy to enjoy all summer long.

fluffy fruit diP

yield: 2 cups

time: 5 minutes

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

1 (7 ounce) tub marshmallow cream

Warm cream cheese to room temperature. In a mixing bowl, with handheld mixer, beat cream cheese until loose and light. Add the tub of marshmallow cream and mix until thoroughly blended. Refrigerate until chilled. At this point,

the dip is firm enough to pipe like frosting if you’d like to get all fancy pants.

Serve with your favorite fruits or eat directly from a spoon when no one is watching.

Overall, u-pick fruit and vegetable farms are a great way to enjoy fresh, affordable produce while having fun with family and friends.

So, grab a basket, head out to your local farm and join in the fun on National Pick Strawberries Day.
