Page 8 April Edition Carthage Gazette “Let Food Be Thy Medicine, Medicine Be Thy Food” Hippocrates “Let food be thy medicine, medicine be thy food.” That age-old wisdom may be credited to Hippocrates, but Jor-l Campbell, Chef and Proprietor of JC’s Place in historic downtown Carthage, has taken it to heart and to his tables. “I was feeling miserable,” says Jor-l. “Diabetes, Gout, High Blood Pressure. Changing what I ate saved me. I ditched processed foods and started eating real food. I’m happier now than I have ever been.” Passionate about his new awareness of food as healing, Executive Chef Jor-l sought to pay it forward. He created a restaurant that serves wholesome meals, that refl ects his own health metamorphosis. It was the perfect way Jor-l could act on his gratitude. In August 2017 Jor-l opened JC’s Place. Jor-l has 30 years of experience in the restaurant business. Cooking is artistry and the meal is its canvas. Combining traditional, whole foods in bold, creative ways defi nes the dining experience at JC’s Place. The adventurous foodie may choose Mortadella Grilled Cheese with pesto, spicy tapenade and artichokes, while the more conventional patron may opt for the Steak Sandwich with caramelized onions and mushrooms. Both superbly fi nished with a slice of their house-made fresh fruit pie. Dining at JC’s Place goes beyond deliciousness. Jor-l supports his North Carolina farming neighbors as much as possible. Locally farm-raised chickens, beef, eggs, produce, craft beers from Southern Pines Brewery and breads from Carthage’s Aroma Bakery make up his shopping list. Jor-l spends hours at the fresh markets in Raleigh gathering ideas and ingredients to play with in his cooking studio – all prepared with the fervent intention of experiencing enjoyable meals closer to the farm than the factory. The locally-grown staff of three at JC’s Place have been with Jor-l since opening day. They simply wanted to be a part of the forward-thinking farm-to-table dining that Jor-l was bringing to Carthage. Amanda grows and grinds her own herbs that are blended and brewed for hot tea options. The teas are for sale at the restaurant. Jacob boasts that he has gotten in a lot better shape since working at JC’s Place. He has lost 20 pounds and has discovered a deeper appreciation for “you are what you eat.” Cory, cookin-training, aspires to be a Chef. He is learning from one of the best. Oh, and they all wash the pots and pans! Jor-l has a vision for JC’s Place. “I want to give the families of Carthage and surrounding areas a reason to venture out and enjoy all this town has to offer,” he says. Bring back the days of “Sweet Carthage.” A smoothie bar is under construction. An outdoor stage with a backyard BBQ feel is on the drawing board. This past Christmas, local high school kids have showcased their music there, something Jor-l plans to continue and expand. Great food with a purpose. Genuine service. Inspirational atmosphere. All reason enough to venture out to JC’s Place. 310 Monroe St. Downtown Carthage. Follow them on Facebook. MON – WED 11:00 – 5:00, THURS/FRI 11:00 – 9:00. Closed SAT/SUN.

Civil War Meeting Did you know, according to the National Fire Protection Agency, that having a working smoke detector in your house will cut the risk of dying in a fi re by 50 percent? As we review reports from fi re and life safety inspections conducted by professional fi re protection engineers, there is one consistent theme: smoke alarms without batteries! Guest cabins, apartment buildings, dormitories, and single family homes all have the same issue, which means our visitors, employees, and partners may be sleeping in buildings that are not equipped to notify them of a fi re. Luckily, this problem can be fi xed immediately: Put a battery in your Maybe the alarm is too close to cooking smoke or shower steam, or maybe it’s dirty. All of these problems can be a nuisance by causing frequent false alarms. However, the solution is not removing the battery, but cleaning or relocating your smoke alarm. The National Fire Protection Association tells us we should change our smoke alarm batteries twice a year, so why not just time it with the changing of your clocks? T To prepare for time-change weekend, make sure you have enough batteries available for all of your smoke detectors, and remember, when you change your clock, change your batteries. Tonight, when you go home, take an inventory of how many smoke alarms are in your house. Make sure you have a fresh battery ready for every smoke alarm.
