The Board of Directors of the Historic Jamestown Society met in closed session during the monthly board meeting on June 19 and voted to eliminate the position of director at Mendenhall Homeplace, meaning Shawn Rogers is out of a job.
“Last night at our monthly board meeting the board voted to eliminate the position of Executive Director of Mendenhall Homeplace because of budgetary needs,” said Jay McQuillan, president of the Historic Jamestown Society in an email to board members.”
“After reviewing our financial position, this action was taken to put HJS in a more
solid financial format to enter into our Capital Campaign this fall.”
“Shawn has done a good job as docent and curator,” McQuillan added. “We need someone who goes out to the public.”
Rogers was the only paid employee of Mendenhall Homeplace, which the Historic Jamestown Society oversees. He has been director since 2012, after volunteering and serving on the board for several years.
The morning following the meeting, Will Ragsdale, a board member, contacted the Jamestown News to offer an explanation. Ragsdale spoke about plans to upgrade the Mendenhall Homeplace property.
“We have hired Convergent in Raleigh to handle the capital campaign,” Ragsdale said of the campaign that has been in discussion for several years. “We have also worked with Freeman Kennett Architects in High Point to look at a site plan, more event-friendly and [with] a museum to keep the most important

Sedgefield Stables to become montessori school
By CaROL BROOKs FreeLANCe WrIter cab1hp@gmail.com
New life has been breathed into the former Sedgefield Stables and Barn now that the property has been sold. The Giving Tree Montessori School purchased the property at 3701 Groometown Road in Greensboro on June 3. The Greensboro Historic Building Trust sold the building and the one-acre site to Hensley Family Holdings.
The school plans to restore the historic barn for the new school and open January 2026. The grounds will include a natural playground, space for a garden and areas for small animals. This way, students can learn about nature and gardening, connecting with the environment and plant and wildlife cycles.
Giving Tree Montessori founder Gina Hensley spoke to media about the importance of the property.
“Restoring and retaining as much of the barn’s history and charm is of extreme importance to our mission,” Hensley said. “We want the children and families to feel welcome and safe to explore their emotions while learning and developing in a safe and comfortable space. We feel the barn will provide just that.”
According to their website, “The Giving Tree Montessori School was established in 2025 by a family deeply passionate about the Montessori philosophy. Aiming to offer our youngest learners access to a Montessori program, they encountered lengthy wait-

Ask The Pastor what did we do wrong?
By Pas TOR dR sId sTe WaRT
Dear Pastor Sid, Please help me, a sorrowing parent. Our children were in a Christian home and went to church every Sunday but are now are totally different. They tells that the Bible is a book of myths and there is no such thing as heaven. Proverbs 22:6 promises us that if we train them the right way they will not depart from it. So what did we do wrong? — Sorrowful Parents in High Point
Hi Sorrowful Parents in High Point, First, I am so sorry about the difficulty you are facing. Pray for your children and be sure to always be there for them. You ask a great question that many parents ask: “What about the promise of Proverbs 22:6?”
First, this verse (“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”) should not be considered as a promise, but is a warning. We usually think that if we do right, take them to church, read the Bible to them, and try to have a Christian family that all will be well with them. But this verse is a warning to NOT raise them the way THEY want to go. The Hebrew word for “go” means command. So if we raise them the way THEY command then they set the pattern, and develop habits and when they are old they will not depart from it. So you see this is a warning for the parent to direct their steps and not let the children demand or command the way they want to go. So if a child commands the parent to allow him to play video games ‘til 3am they will form a habit hard to break and be locked into gaming for many years. Some other commands that we cannot allow are an unhealthy interest in sports, movies, money, sensuality, materialism, or unforgiveness, bitterness, making fun of others, developing hatred, and lazy work habits. So what did you do wrong? You no doubt misunderstood this verse. Your heart was right but the approach to raising children needed some help. God bless you as you continue to work with your children on these issues.
Do All PeoPle Go to HeAven?
Dear Pastor Sid, I have a son who says that he does not need to be a Christian because since God is love everyone will go to heaven anyway. Help me with this idea because I don’t know what to tell him? — Hurting Dad in Archdale
Hi Hurting Dad in Archdale, First, let’s be Biblical about this? All truth is God’s truth and even Jesus said that He is the Truth, the Life and the Way. Now, about your question, if everyone goes to heaven then why does Hell exist? This is because God does not force Himself on everyone, but ask for people to willingly come to Him. Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people so we need to prepare for heaven. Not everyone will prepare so not everyone will go to heaven. Hell, on the other hand is a prepared place for an unprepared people. A rather sobering idea that people will suffer eternally but this is the truth. Both heaven and hell are forever. Now here is another observation from your question. Tell your son that God is Love but that is not all. He is also a God of Judgment. All through the Bible it is taught that God is a judge who is not afraid to condemn a man to damnation. He must do this to keep heaven a place free from sin and wickedness. I think that your son has swallowed some bad teaching from somewhere. He is deceived. My advice: Listen to him, answer his questions, but be truthful to him. Love him so much that you tell him the truth.
Ask The Pastor is written by Pastor Dr. Sid Stewart, from the Hoover’s Grove Wesleyan Church, 5399 Jackson Creek Rd, Denton. Pastor Sid’s teaching motto is: Making the Complex Simple. If you have a question about the Bible, please email Pastor Sid at moses43@juno.com and it will soon be answered in this column.

July 4th fireworks are as old as independence
By C a ROL BROOK s F ree LANC e W r I ter cab1hp@gmail.com
The Fourth of July is truly a time for celebration, not just to recognize the independence of the United States, but also a time for families and friends to gather for picnics and setting off and watching fireworks.
But why do we set off fireworks? Apparently we always have.
One year following the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Philadelphia, where the Declaration was signed, had what you might call a blowout of fireworks, probably replete with the oohs and aahs we still do today for a spectacular burst.
As reported in the Virginia Gazette July 18, 1777, “One of the most elaborate celebrations in 1777 and the first organized celebration of its kind occurred in Philadelphia. This event had all of the elements of typical future celebrations — the discharge of cannon, one round for each state in the union, the ringing of bells, a dinner, the use of music, the drinking of toasts (it would subsequently be traditional to have one toast for each state in the union), ‘loud huzzas,’ a parade, fireworks, and the use of the nation’s colors, in this case the dressing up of ‘armed ships and gallies’ in the harbor.
“The evening was closed with the ringing of bells, and at night there was a grand exhibition of fireworks, which began and concluded with thirteen rockets on the commons, and the city was beautifully illuminated. Everything was conducted with the greatest order and decorum, and the face of joy and gladness was universal. Thus may the 4th of July, that glorious and ever-memorable day, be celebrated through America, by the sons of freedom, from age to age till time shall be no more.”
Fireworks history
Fireworks were created in first century China by accident. While trying to find an elixir to make them immortal, alchemists mixed several ingredients and exposed them to a flame. To their amazement, the concoction sparked.
Soon the Chinese were putting what they began to call “huo yao,” or fire drug, into bamboo tubes for cultural celebrations. The tubes were tossed into a fire to explode. Later, tubes were lit and held, like
ing that tours could be taken by appointment.
McQuillan later called me to clarify the board’s position moving forward.
“We have been working with HYDE, a group of students from High Point University to look for ways to add value to the Homeplace, he said. “We are not in financial trouble, but we do need to tighten our belt to get things done. With the help of Convergent Nonprofit Solutions we plan to conduct a capitol campaign in the fall. Our goal is to construct a new building (possibly on the back of the Mendenhall property) that will serve as a museum, a showplace to highlight artifacts and as an educational resource where people can learn more about the history.”
Freeman Kennett Architects is working with HJS on plans for the museum and its site.
I also received a response from Shirley Haworth, board member emeritus and long-time supporter of HJS. She served several terms as the group’s president. Although no longer part of the intricate details of the board’s operation, she continues to have deep feelings for Mendenhall Homeplace and its history that is so intertwined with Jamestown. The town is named
we would do with sparklers, or grouped together like today’s firecrackers.
When gunpowder was developed it was the start of the “big bang.” Around 1700 the Chinese fiddled with the recipe for the fire drug to add colors. Different elements, such as copper and barium, create different colors. Select elements produce different sounds as well.
It was revelers in Italy who first shot fireworks into the sky.
Of course, America had to have its part. These new pyrotechnic displays were safer, less expensive and more visual than traditional musket and cannon salutes the colonists were used to.
So, if you are annoyed by all your neighbors setting off fireworks late into the evening and your pets have gone psycho, you can blame the founding fathers for signing the Declaration of Independence and creating a reason to celebrate.
Be careful next week.
Dangers
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recorded 9.700 injuries and eight deaths associated with fireworks in 2024, due to misuse and malfunctions. Teenagers and young children were the majority of the injured. Eye injuries accounted for 19 percent, face/head/ears 22 percent, hands 35 percent and lower extremities 11 percent.
The National Safety Council has safety recommendations for handling fireworks at https:// www.nsc.org/community-safety/safety-topics/ seasonal-safety/summer-safety/. Some of these include not allowing young children to handle fireworks, never use fireworks while impaired by drugs or alcohol, never light them indoors, never throw fireworks at someone, do not try to re-light malfunctioning fireworks, and, perhaps obviously, never hold lighted fireworks in your hands.
Some fireworks are illegal in North Carolina. According to CarolinaAttorneys.com, the general rule is, “Most Fireworks are Prohibited.” You could spend time in prison for setting off a Roman candle for a Class 2 misdemeanor. Other illegal fireworks include bottle rockets, mortars, skyrockets, M-80s, firecrackers, cherry bombs and anything that explodes or projected into the air. It makes no difference if you purchased these types out of state and brought them home to North Carolina. They’re still illegal.
You must also have official license, written authority and proper insurance from local officials to have pyrotechnics, or a spectacular fireworks display.
for James Mendenhall.
Haworth was quite complimentary of Shawn Rogers and all he has done to preserve and promote one of Jamestown’s treasures.
“During my involvement with Mendenhall Homeplace, I worked closely with Shawn,” Haworth said. “I have a great deal of respect for him and for his knowledge and expertise. He brought his professional preparation and years of experience to bear on the operation of the Homeplace whether conducting tours, securing grants, expertly repairing old structures, or researching the lives and events of early Jamestown families.
“We worked together with active board members to tackle serious problems with the Mendenhall house, bank barn, restrooms and Madison Lindsay House to name a few. Shawn always used his talents and professional experiences to be sure projects were developed and completed as planned.
“Shawn loves Mendenhall Homeplace and takes great care to provide accurate information about the history of the area. He takes pleasure in sharing that history and taught volunteers facts they would need to become docents. He is recognized also for the depth of his genealogical knowledge

U.S.
of many local families.” Rogers was indeed a hands-on employee, often doing building maintenance himself or obtaining and overseeing qualified contractors to be sure the historical integrity of the Homeplace was intact. He reached out into the community, getting donations of artifacts to place on display, not just period related, but also authentic items of the Mendenhall family. He gathered historic facts from discussions with Mendenhall descendants and other local families and used online resources to find items HJS could purchase to include in the historic property’s collections.
Numerous grants that he secured funded many of the improvements to the buildings and surrounding landscape.
“I appreciate all Shawn has done for Mendenhall Homeplace,” Haworth said. “He has my support and respect. In my mind his knowledge is irreplaceable.”
Time cannot be controlled and, as history goes, one chapter of this historic site has ended and another has begun. No one can predict the future, but we must not forget the past. We can learn from it, letting decisions and outcomes serve as guides moving forward.

Stables history
Sedgefield Stables and Showgrounds began in the 1920s. The barn was constructed in 1927 and is the only remaining
structure of the once 18-acre Showgrounds that was part of the Sedgefield development in the 1920s.
The area hosted the Sedgefield Horse Show in the 1930s and the Sedgefield Hunt. The barn was in use until 2021.
“Sedgefield Stables developed into and remains a nationally recognized barn and horse lovers from all over the country come to Sedgefield Horse Stables and Showgrounds to show their horses and compete,” said Kelly Wyrick in 2020.” The stables had a full schedule of shows and competitions for 2020.
Controversy
The Sedgefield community was concerned following the announcement in 2020 that the Sedgefield Showgrounds was for sale and there was already development plans in place for the site.
A neighborhood meeting on Feb. 6, 2020, held by Affordable Housing Management of Greensboro at Celia Phelps Memorial Church, next to the Showgrounds, spelled out the plans. A handout at the meeting stated, “This development will have a positive economic impact
on the neighborhood and city and will greatly assist the City of Greensboro’s goal of increasing the supply of quality affordable rental housing.”
The Showgrounds website, www.sedgefieldshowgrounds. com, at the time contained the following letter:
“I am sure many of you have heard the rumor (and it is true) that we have engaged a real estate broker to explore options of selling the land,” wrote Martin F. Schlaeppi. “We think this valuable piece of property will get some attractive offers, but it will take some time to get zoning and other approvals necessary for a developer so we are pretty certain that we will have a full slate of shows next year (and maybe beyond).
“We were hoping that a buyer who would want to continue running horse shows would emerge, but while we have had some conversations with interested parties, no buyer has emerged to date. We do think that this facility has a lot of potential for a buyer who wants to operate and add other equestrian events, while owning a piece of property that will continue to appreciate.

smoothie Prep 101: Healthy Smoothies for Summer Mornings
By PaTTI dIaMOnd
oN A DIMe
As summer kicks in, it’s easy to get a little too relaxed with our routine. The mornings are slower, the kids are home, and breakfast sometimes ends up being a “whatever is easiest” grab.
But just because it’s summer, doesn’t mean your body should get a vacation from good nutrition. Let’s make something as easy as toaster pastries but that packs a wallop of goodness — and tastes delicious, too! Smoothie packs! Plus, these smoothies save you a ton of money compared with prepared breakfast foods, and they make the perfect snack or pick-me-up between activities.
Smoothies check all the boxes: Healthy? Absolutely. They’re packed with nutrients to fuel your day. Ready and quick when you want one? Yep, just pop it in the blender and blend away! Customizable to suit any taste or dietary need? You got it. Lasts forever in the freezer? You bet.
Just spend 30 minutes every couple of weeks assembling a stash for the freezer, and boom — breakfast practically makes itself.
Start with some building blocks from the list below, then here’s the formula for each 2-cup smoothie: In a quart-size freezer bag, combine 1 cup fruit, a handful of greens and about 1/2 cup of mix-ins (see ideas below). Squeeze out the air, seal, and freeze flat.
Mix it up to keep it fun; variety keeps things interesting without adding much cost.
Wait. What? Oats? In smoothies? Yes!
Adding oats to your smoothie is a smart (and budget-friendly) way to boost nutrition and stay fuller longer. They’re packed with resistant starch and soluble fiber, which help keep blood sugar steady and cravings in check. That fiber also acts as a prebiotic, giving your gut the good stuff it needs to stay happy. Plus, oats add a creamy texture and mild flavor that blends beautifully with just about anything you toss in.
When you’re ready to blend, just dump the contents into your blender, add your liquid (milk — dairy or plant-based, coconut water, juice, kefir), and blend away!

• The best way to get a bloodstain out of clothing is by dousing the stain with hydrogen peroxide and washing as usual. For clay stains, you absolutely must have a Fels-Naptha bar. It looks like a bar of soap, and you wet the material and rub in the soap. It’s magical. This, coming from a softball mom whose daughter loves to slide. — A.A. in Florida
• Add these to the list of items to eliminate the odor of cooking cabbage: a heel of bread, a whole walnut, or a pinch of baking soda.
• It’s easy to make your own spreadable butter. Simply whip 1 pound of softened butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Slowly add 1 cup of olive oil. Beat up to 5 minutes to add air and increase volume. Pour into two 1-pint containers and refrigerate. It’s economical, spreads like soft margarine, tastes great and you get the benefits of olive oil in a natural product.
• “Before I go to the beach, I freeze an ice-cube tray full of lemonade. Then, we use the cubes in our travel cups. It keeps the lemonade cool, and as it melts (which tends to be quickly), it doesn’t water down the drink.” — K.H. in South Carolina
• To save money on electricity costs, hang jeans and other heavy clothing to dry first. White or light towels and garments especially love the sun. When it is mostly dry, pop it in the dryer to fluff.
• When sales are running on children’s clothing, it might be a good idea to buy a size up. Sometimes, I buy up to a year in advance for my kids if the deals are really good. Just be sure that the clothing is the right season when your child will be able to wear it. — M. from New Mexico
