ldquoDurhamrsquos online community paperrdquo

June July 2012 mdash The Durham Skywriter 32 The Durham Skywriter mdash June July 2012

I always wondered what was going to become of the old ldquoFive Pointsrdquo bus station just off Morgan After the Durham Transportation Station was built on Pettigrew St the old bus station just sat there gathering dust Every time I drove past it I thought that it would be a spot for something coolmdashbut I didnrsquot know what

Obviously someone else thought so too because now the little building and the gazebo that made up the old bus station are now collectively called the Durham History Hub the second big step in the realization of the Museum of Durham History (The first step was creating the online presence at museumofdurhamhistoryorg which Irsquoll describe in detail later)

Back in 2004 a few hundred citizens came together in the form of charrettesmeetings where they were asked to participate in the formulation of the Durham Cultural Master Plan Out of those intensive work sessions it was generally agreed that ldquoculturerdquo was not only the visual and performing arts but also the remembrance and presentation of the cityrsquos heritage and history Many people mentioned that we needed some kind of history museum

Four years later Jane Goodridge a past president of Preservation Durham got a group of like-minded individuals together and formed the Durham History Advisory Committee After a feasibility study was conducted (funded by the Cultural Master Plan) and the findings showed that a history was a popular idea that lots of people would get behind the committee went ahead

and filed articles of incorporation and and secured 501-c3 federal tax-exempt status

One of the first projects taken on by the committee was to create ldquoCelebrating the Arts in Durhamrdquo a series of colorful banners that could rotate among various public spaces throughout the city You might have seen one or more already The 12 banners commemorate ldquoUniversities Bring Music to the Communityrdquo ldquoArts in the Bull Cityrdquo ldquoSinginrsquo the Bluesrdquo ldquoHillbilly Music Comes to Townrdquo ldquoThe Visual Arts Scene Homegrown amp Beyondrdquo ldquoThe Arts Community Finds a United Voicerdquo ldquoHayti Heritage Center African-American Artsrdquo ldquoSaved from the Wrecking Ball Carolina Theatre Revivedrdquo ldquoClay Fiber and Metal Crafts as Artrdquo ldquoArchitecture Durhamrsquos Crown Jewelrdquo ldquoDurham Blossoms as a Mecca for Dancerdquo and ldquoDurham Stages Theaterrdquo You can see the banners on the website click on Programs amp Projects

Part of the mission as listed on the Museum of Durham Historyrsquos website is to ldquobe the comprehensive centralized clearinghouse for all of Durhamrsquos historyrdquo Right now therersquos no permanent building providing space for its total mission but The Durham History Hub (or simply ldquothe Hubrdquo) is a good start The grand opening offering a sneak peek into whatrsquos to come was held in mid-July

Renovation of the building is still underway and the Hub wonrsquot technically open until next year In 2013 visitors will be able to explore interactive exhibits about Durhamrsquos

history and also to pick up maps to nearby historical sites The gazebo will probably come in handy when special events centered around storytelling music and multidisciplinary programs take place

The sign on the door says to check the blog at museumofdurhamhistoryorgblog for updates So for now wersquoll have to settle for fun activities like live music by local bands with snacks made available by Durhamrsquos famous food trucks on some Third Fridays (In case yoursquore unfamiliar with the location of the old bus station the official address theyrsquore giving is 500 W Main Stmdashalthough Irsquove seen 521 W Morgan St as well)

A talented team is working to make the Museum of Durham History a reality The chairman is Lew Myers whorsquos with The Freelon Group Steven A Channing from Video Dialog Inc is the vice-chairman Scott Spiegel from AICPA is the treasurer and the secretary is Jane Goodridge who is a past president of Preservation Durham Board members include Tom Krakauer (retired Museum of Life and Science and the museumrsquos first chairman) Michael Schoenfeld (Duke University) MaryAnn Black (Duke University Health System) Ruth Dzau Isaac Green (Piedmont Investment) Josh Parker (TBL Group) Tony Reevy (UNCndashChapel Hill) Kenneth Rodgers (North Carolina Central Art Museum) Aaron Spaulding (Prestige Travel American Express) and Chuck Wilson (Wilson Construction Company)

Itrsquos downright historicIs this the hottest summer ever or do I just have a short memory Maybe it seems like the hottest summer on record because my air-conditioning is on the fritz In any case we canrsquot complain about drought conditions this year So far this summer wersquove got-ten plenty of rain which usually makes us gardeners pretty happy The challenge is to keep the plants alive in between rain show-ersmdashthat 95+ degree sun can be brutal A few of my plants look as if someone lit a match to them

Earlier this month I traveled to Washington DC with a contin-gent from North Carolina (Ajamu Dillahunt Gloria de los Santos Beth Messersmith Sabine Schoebach Melvin Montford and Jeannine Sato) We took part in the National Summit on Paid Sick Days and Paid Family LeaveDay of Action We met with Senator Kay Hagan Steve Perotta a staff member of Sen- ator Richard Burr State Representative David Price and Josh Babb a staff member of Representative Renee Ellmers I moved here to care for my elderly aunt so I had never had a full-time job

Publisherrsquos pitchin North Carolina I didnrsquot even know that so many people couldnrsquot count on getting paid sick days How can you be an effective par-ent if you canrsquot get a day off to care for a sick child (or stay home to avoid spreading the flu) Obviously people are managing but Irsquoll bet life would be a lot easier if they could get paid sick days (We proposed that paid sick days would be paid by employees using the Social Security model rather than dipping into business ownersrsquo pockets) It was a real blastmdashI got to see how things get done in DC and look forward to more involvement in the future

Irsquom still involved with Blueprint NC the nonprofit that helps with progressive program-building in the state My job is to iden-tify seniors who can share stories on how Medicare and Medicaid positively affect their lives If you have a story to tell feel free to call or write me as soon as you can

there So if theyrsquore playing a walrus that goes ldquoWhoordquo we want to hear the big-gest ldquoWhoordquo possible

Because all of the arts connect to the bigger world we want our kids to take the experience of what theyrsquore learning into

the world Art develops both the mind and the heart and can add real joy to their lives

Q I can imagine that a kid just get-ting into acting would have to deal with some fear about being on stage How do you handle that

A Itrsquos only natural that kids donrsquot want to be laughed at Itrsquos something that

This month we spoke with Regina Stray-horn whorsquos an acting instructor at the Walltown Childrenrsquos Theatrersquos summer camp 1225 Berkeley St 919-286-4545 walltownchildrenstheatreorg

Q What do you do at the Wall-town Childrenrsquos Theatre

A I teach acting to the kidsmdashages five to 14mdashand I also direct the shows This year wersquore doing Peter Pan

Q How did you get interested in acting and theater and how did you get the job at WCT

A When I was in 3rd grade I went to an arts camp and fell in love with acting I stayed with it and Irsquom still studying it This fall Irsquoll be a senior at the UNC School of the Arts in Winston-Salem Ms Penn [WCT directorowner Cyn-thia Penn] invited me to work for her this summer I love it

Q Are kids natural hams How do you go about teaching them how to be-come a character

A Kids naturally have imagination and curiosity and you build on that The most important thing to teach them is to have a voice to develop their voice Act-ingrsquos not just a matter of learning lines We want them to put themselves into their roles and also to put themselves out

ON THE JOBacting instructor

would bother anyone First we ask that all of the kids to be supportive of each other Second we want them to just try I love mistakes That means that someone tried something new and now has the courage to try again

Q So is being an acting instruc-tor helping you as a student of acting

Q Whatrsquos your ultimate goalmdashfor yourself and for the students you teach

A I want to always honor the character Irsquom playing the best way

I can You have two choices as an actor You can be judgemental of your charac-ter If yoursquore playing a ldquobad guyrdquo yoursquore not going to be believable if you look down on what he or she says or does Or you can be true to that character Irsquod like to remember that and Irsquod like for my kids to be aware of that as well I also want them to support each other be professional and most of all to have fun

Some adaptive telephones and telephone devices can make it possible for deaf and hard-of-hearing people to use regular telephones If yoursquore low-income check to see if you qualify for a captioned telephone A captioned telephone comes with a screen that allows you to read what the other person on the line is saying

Communication devices are also available for people with speech disabilities (whether they have hearing loss or not) These devices make it much easier to use the telephone to call friends and family and to do business

Another alternative to using specialized devices is to use the Telecommunications Relay Service (Relay NC) This ser-vice which is used by deaf hard-of hearing deaf-blind and speech-impaired residents is accessed with special equipment

The farm thatrsquos just south of McDougald Terrace is the bigger of the two parcels that make up Organopoacutenico NEEM The potential for success is huge the trees have been cleared so now the planting beds get full sun most of the day The soil is rich and the placement of ponds take advantage of the natural slope of the land A wide variety of fruits and vegeta-bles have been planted including tomatoes squash eggplants peppers beans and corn

Future plans for the parcel near McDougald Terrace in-clude creating a path through the remaining woods to the neighborhood leading to North Carolina Central Uni-versity Ensminger wants to plant fruits and vegetables that can thrive in the partial shade of the forest He also wants to build a community kitchen on the Cleveland-Holloway parcel so that neighbors can prepare food that can provide an income through sales and other cre-ative means

Irsquoll report more as the farm develops In the meantime you can watch a short video on YouTube (at youtubecom) enter ldquodurhamskywriterrdquo in the search field in order to find my YouTube channel For more information visit awanderingfeastblogspotcom

Master gardeners websiteThe North Carolina Cooperative Extension Servicersquos Master Gardeners have a new website which you can view at wwwces ncsuedudurhamgardenerindexhtm You can learn about local CSA farms where you can purchase fresh produce on a regular basis and u-pick farms where you can harvest fruits and vegetables without having to grow them yourself You can also get the latest information on common plant diseases and insect problems tips on growing edibles and ornamental plants and suggestions on what to grow Get answers to your questions by calling 919-560-0528 MondayndashFriday 9am-4pm or by sending an email to durhammgyahoocom You can also stop by the office at 721 Foster St and pick up bro-chures and fact sheets (be sure to call first)

Learning from Cuba community farming here in DurhamJeff Ensminger has got a few answers to the question of sustainable agriculture on a citywide level Inspired by the Cuban model of agroecology he formed an organization called NEEM (Natural Environ-mental Ecological Manage- ment) Neem also happens to be a tree whose oil is used in organic gardening Ensminger explains that most of the fruits and vegetables grown in Cuba feed the people in the immediate neighborhood where theyrsquore grown He fur-ther explains that agroecol-ogy happens when ecologi-cal principles are applied to the production of food For people like Jeff Ensminger agroecology is not only a sci-ence but a movement

Ensminger is actively converting unused space in two ar-easmdashjust south of McDougald Terrace and not far from N Alston Avemdashinto a cooperative 112-acre farm called Or-ganopoacutenico NEEM So far hersquos doing a beautiful job Trees have been cleared a greenhouse has been built and crops have already been planted

After seeing firsthand how so many people in Cuba benefit from neighborhood farms Ensminger plans to have Organopoacutenico NEEM to provide fresh organic food to many of the residents in the McDougald Terrace housing communi-ty and Cleveland-Hollaway neighborhood while creating jobs and other self-sustaining opportunities

The people of Cuba didnrsquot always practice agroecol-ogy Back in the 1980s when the Soviet Union broke up and stopped providing financial support the Cubans had to quickly figure out how to survive on their own They came up with the idea of having neighborhoods across the nation to farm for themselves and so far itrsquos working nicely Ensminger feels that people in Durham can also make the same conscious decision to design farms that integrate comfortably in their communities

lsquoTwas just a year ago todayWhen the great Titanic sailed awayWith its gallant crew so bold so trueBetween the hours of night and day

Mid scenes of pleasure and pure delightWhile the stars displayed their radiance brightThey bade goodbye to friends and homeOn their last sad trip no more to roam

There were mothers and daughters husbands and wivesOn a voyage soon to lose their livesSome were awake while others sleptAs death so suddenly on them crept

When out of sight of land or treesExposed to the perils of the deep wide seasAs the ship sailed on across the wavesBearing souls to their unknown watery graves

When the sound was heard and the sign was givenThey stood alarmed between earth and heavenWhen they found that death was near at hand The news was spread throughout the land (written April 15 1913 5 of 6 verses 6th verse not found)


I always wondered what was going to become of the old ldquoFive Pointsrdquo bus station just off Morgan After the Durham Transportation Station was built on Pettigrew St the old bus station just sat there gathering dust Every time I drove past it I thought that it would be a spot for something coolmdashbut I didnrsquot know what

Obviously someone else thought so too because now the little building and the gazebo that made up the old bus station are now collectively called the Durham History Hub the second big step in the realization of the Museum of Durham History (The first step was creating the online presence at museumofdurhamhistoryorg which Irsquoll describe in detail later)

Back in 2004 a few hundred citizens came together in the form of charrettesmeetings where they were asked to participate in the formulation of the Durham Cultural Master Plan Out of those intensive work sessions it was generally agreed that ldquoculturerdquo was not only the visual and performing arts but also the remembrance and presentation of the cityrsquos heritage and history Many people mentioned that we needed some kind of history museum

Four years later Jane Goodridge a past president of Preservation Durham got a group of like-minded individuals together and formed the Durham History Advisory Committee After a feasibility study was conducted (funded by the Cultural Master Plan) and the findings showed that a history was a popular idea that lots of people would get behind the committee went ahead

and filed articles of incorporation and and secured 501-c3 federal tax-exempt status

One of the first projects taken on by the committee was to create ldquoCelebrating the Arts in Durhamrdquo a series of colorful banners that could rotate among various public spaces throughout the city You might have seen one or more already The 12 banners commemorate ldquoUniversities Bring Music to the Communityrdquo ldquoArts in the Bull Cityrdquo ldquoSinginrsquo the Bluesrdquo ldquoHillbilly Music Comes to Townrdquo ldquoThe Visual Arts Scene Homegrown amp Beyondrdquo ldquoThe Arts Community Finds a United Voicerdquo ldquoHayti Heritage Center African-American Artsrdquo ldquoSaved from the Wrecking Ball Carolina Theatre Revivedrdquo ldquoClay Fiber and Metal Crafts as Artrdquo ldquoArchitecture Durhamrsquos Crown Jewelrdquo ldquoDurham Blossoms as a Mecca for Dancerdquo and ldquoDurham Stages Theaterrdquo You can see the banners on the website click on Programs amp Projects

Part of the mission as listed on the Museum of Durham Historyrsquos website is to ldquobe the comprehensive centralized clearinghouse for all of Durhamrsquos historyrdquo Right now therersquos no permanent building providing space for its total mission but The Durham History Hub (or simply ldquothe Hubrdquo) is a good start The grand opening offering a sneak peek into whatrsquos to come was held in mid-July

Renovation of the building is still underway and the Hub wonrsquot technically open until next year In 2013 visitors will be able to explore interactive exhibits about Durhamrsquos

history and also to pick up maps to nearby historical sites The gazebo will probably come in handy when special events centered around storytelling music and multidisciplinary programs take place

The sign on the door says to check the blog at museumofdurhamhistoryorgblog for updates So for now wersquoll have to settle for fun activities like live music by local bands with snacks made available by Durhamrsquos famous food trucks on some Third Fridays (In case yoursquore unfamiliar with the location of the old bus station the official address theyrsquore giving is 500 W Main Stmdashalthough Irsquove seen 521 W Morgan St as well)

A talented team is working to make the Museum of Durham History a reality The chairman is Lew Myers whorsquos with The Freelon Group Steven A Channing from Video Dialog Inc is the vice-chairman Scott Spiegel from AICPA is the treasurer and the secretary is Jane Goodridge who is a past president of Preservation Durham Board members include Tom Krakauer (retired Museum of Life and Science and the museumrsquos first chairman) Michael Schoenfeld (Duke University) MaryAnn Black (Duke University Health System) Ruth Dzau Isaac Green (Piedmont Investment) Josh Parker (TBL Group) Tony Reevy (UNCndashChapel Hill) Kenneth Rodgers (North Carolina Central Art Museum) Aaron Spaulding (Prestige Travel American Express) and Chuck Wilson (Wilson Construction Company)
