Beowulf by anonymous
Beowulf is an Old English epic poem consisting of 3,182 alliterative
lines. It may be the oldest surviving long poem in Old English
and is commonly cited as one of the most important works of Old
English literature. A date of composition is a matter of contention
among scholars; the only certain dating pertains to the manuscript,
which was produced between 975 and 1025.The author was an
anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet, referred to by scholars as the “Beowulf
poet”.
The poem is set in Scandinavia. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats,
comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead
hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel.
After Beowulf slays him, Grendel’s mother attacks the hall and
is then also defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland
(Götaland in modern Sweden) and later becomes king of the Geats.
After a period of fifty years has passed, Beowulf defeats a dragon,
but is mortally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants
cremate his body and erect a tower on a headland in his memory.
The full poem survives in the manuscript known as the Nowell Codex.
It is, because of the fire in 1731, many of the manuscripts were
lost. It has no title in the original manuscript, but has become known
by the name of the story’s protagonist.In 1731, the manuscript was
badly damaged by a fire that swept through Ashburnham House in
London that had a collection of medieval manuscripts assembled by
Sir Robert Bruce Cotton. The Nowell Codex is currently housed in
the British Library.

Taste of History!
by Colleen Brown
So, summer is coming to a close and the sun and rain have done their
work. The air is full of late summer sweetness as flowers bloom and
crops move toward ripeness. And that particularly delicious scent that
wafts temptingly down Harvey Point Road? It is coming from the muscadine
grape vines behind the Newbold-White House.
Just as the summer is beginning to head into autumn, the vines get
heavy with ripe grapes. Some sun, a little wind, and the smell of the
grapes alone can almost intoxicate you as you walk from the Visitor’s
Center to the House. The small vineyard behind the Newbold-White
House is planted in a wide variety of muscadine grapes, large small &
in between, in a range of colors from a pale beige that reminds you of
the glow of champagne to a deep garnet red.

Have you ever picked muscadine grapes? It requires a technique
known as “tickling,” and the ripe fruit literally falls off into your hands,
making harvesting a delightful experience. Want to try? The Perquimans
County Restoration Association welcomes the public on most
Saturday mornings in late summer, to pick and purchase the fruit. They
will even train you in the “tickling” technique!
The Newbold-White House itself is undoubtedly one of the jewels of
Perquimans County. Among the oldest brick houses in North Carolina,
it has been restored to its Colonial Quaker homestead heritage and
welcomes visitors on weekend from spring to fall for a nominal fee.
The house itself is a lovely reminder of North Carolina’s Quaker past,
but the land that was purchased by a Quaker gentleman, Abraham
Sanders, in 1726 was already known as “The Vineyard,” suggesting
that the vines and the grapes recall a farther past even then the house.
If you go this weekend to pick the grapes and can’t resist the temptation
to pop a few into your mouth, it will be history you are tasting, along
with the muscadine!
Still round the corner there
may wait, A new road or a
secret gate.

No Loose Ends Hair Salon Opens in Weeksville Shopping Center
An ordinary trip to the supermarket prompted Theresa Harris to
act on an idea that quickly impacted her career and life’s direction.
A hair stylist for 18 years, Theresa noticed the old Deli-icious
spot inside Weeksville Shopping Center and envisioned a modern,
convenient salon for busy families.
Owning a business wasn’t initially on her radar. “It was a spur of
the moment decision,” Harris recalls.
Soon, Theresa and her husband Shelton negotiated a lease with
the New York-based listing company. Salon preparation quickly
became a family affair. Shelton and Theresa’s brother, Michael
O’Keefe, pulled late hours painting and preparing the floors while
they both worked full-time during the day.
By Laura Bush Jenkins
Theresa thanks Forbes Plumbing and Steve Jordan Electric for
their timely assistance before opening day. On addition, her Aunt
Phillis and Uncle Luke provided tremendous love and support.
At this time, No Loose Ends seeks experienced stylists to rent a
booth at a convenient location providing easy access and flexibility.
To connect with Theresa at the studio, call 252 333 6023, or visit
1805 Weeksville Rd, (Food Lion Shopping Center.)

created by the Harris family as they brainstormed together.
No Loose Ends looks forward to providing women. men, and
children with a friendly atmosphere where precision and attention
to detail matter. The salon is open Tuesday through Sunday
to accommodate your waxing, perm, coloring, haircut, and style
requests.
“I’m grateful to our customers who’ve been out to support us,”
Theresa says. “Without our families, parents, and wonderful clients,
there wouldn’t be a salon.”

Health and Nutrition Strategies For
Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET?
By the time the magazine is distributed I would have
celebrated my 78th birthday. At this advanced age, I
approach life with a sense of urgency. So, I’m going to
use this platform and opportunity to address issues that
I’ve touched upon over the last few months. Call it an old
man rant.
Our region,Northeast North Carolina , particularly Elizabeth
City has the largest health disparities in the state.
There is no way to fix the disparity unless you identify
the cause. I’ve researched a number of studies dating
back decades, who’s findings agreed with my conclusion
that it’s all about the food. Most of the studies emphasize
preparation like frying, use of salt and sugar. Rarely do
they mention the quality of the food.
The quality of food is the most important component
for positive health outcomes. Poor quality food or fake
food requires additives and preservatives, for longer
shelf life, with little return for your nutritional investment.
That low return of your nutrient investment, will result in
poor health and a negative economic outcome. Factor
that into the rising cost of health care and those are the
components that makes our region the poorest regions
in the state and part of a national demographic called
the “stroke belt”. More about the “stroke belt” in future
columns.
Months ago I began my campaign to promote our
region as the “Organic Capitol of The World”. I explained
that since poor quality food is the cause of our health
disparities, we have to improve the food. Transportation
logistics are one of reasons why quality ,fresh food is in
short supply. The further you are from the source of the
food, the poorer the quality, which is why the remedy is to
commercially grow our food locally. And, if you’re going to
grow food, it might as well be organic.

Organic produce is the second fasted growing commodity
in the agriculture sector. That segues into a great
conversation that I had with County Commissioner Bettie
Parker regarding her position on agriculture industries
and how they might fit into our regions future. Commissioner
Parker has a history of supporting our local
farmers. Her husband Melvin, raised on a farm, asked a
pertinent question, “what exactly is organic produce”? I
had difficulty answering because of it’s complexity, and I
didn’t provide a good response. I decided to take another
shot, because it’s my birthday.
The USDA Certified Organic definition is: Avoidance of
synthetic chemicals (e.g. fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics,
food additives) irradiation, sewage sludge and genetically
modified seed. The farmland should have been
free from prohibited chemical input for a number of years,
often more than three.
My interpretation of the USDA’ s definition is that if it’s
not Certified Organic it can contain any of the aforementioned
substances that must be avoided. Which also
means the USDA can not and will not assure its wholesomeness.
Now for my voluntary recalls: Diluigi Foods,Inc.Est.
P4398, recalls “Chicken Sausage Products” due to misbranding
and undeclared allergens. Sold to Trader Joe’s
in Virginia.
Expresco Foods, Inc., Product Of Canada, recalls “Chicken
Skewer Products” due to possible Listeria contamination.
Note: Listeria is very toxic and its contamination
usually occurs after processing and during packaging.
Remember let clean food be your medicine.

Adding value to our economy - Wanda Rossman Expresses Gratitude for Citizenship Experience
Born in Praetoria, South Africa, dance professional
Wanda Rossman didn’t anticipate waitressing to meet
new people would bring her to America and change her
destiny.
After serving an American guest one evening, Wanda’s
manager strangely pulled her aside the next day, explaining
“the American” wanted to meet her. A witty retired
Naval Commander, Robert Rossman became Wanda’s
husband nine months later.
Though she married a U.S. citizen, the process of
immigrating to the U.S. was stringent. It consisted of a
medical health report, multiple fingerprinting sessions,
two separate in-person interviews at the U.S. Embassy,
South African Police clearance, FBI/Interpol background
checks, and an ID picture with right ear exposed. Upon
arrival through immigration at JFK Airport, another interview
and a fifth set of fingerprints were required before
travelling to her new home in Fairfax, Virginia, outside
Washington, D.C., with a “green card” and Resident Alien
(aka permanent residency) status.
Transitioning to American culture after growing up in
South Africa was a crucial, unique process. Wanda became
acclimated to a different system of banking, driving
on another side of the road, and operating in a faster-paced
culture where people surprisingly dressed more
casually. Even though English is the common language,
there was a language barrier to a certain extent; she
spoke the “King’s English.”
“Everything was big...the cars..the space...roads, city
lights, everything,” she remembers.
“Looking back, South Africa was 20 years behind the
United States in development, race relations, and culture.
It took awhile for fads and ideas to cross the Atlantic to
become custom on the southern tip of Africa.”
Wanda recalls it “was a fond time to be in this country in
the 80’s, especially since Ronald Reagan was elected.
America came into its own again and the Carter malaise
was waning. There was national pride, patriotism, and
economic boom.”
An incident on a cold winter day in 1982 caused the
Rossmans to re-evaluate their focus. Air Florida Flight
90 crashed into the Potomac River along the 14th Street
Bridge near the National Press Club building where her
husband had an office. Trapped in pandemonium, nearly
10 hours passed until Wanda knew he was home safe
and sound.
It was time to slowly transition out of the National Capital
Area, and in 1985 the couple discovered a charming
brick house in Edenton needing restoration. As they took
on this two year challenge, it was a learning experience
and the slower pace of life in Edenton made for an easier
time and life.
Do you know a person or family who immigrated to America and through hard
work became a “maker” in our community? Tell us their success story and
how they’ve made a difference.
Contact lauraebush@gmail.com, 315-225-6984
Though her husband traveled and she didn’t yet have immediate
family and friends here, “it was sink or swim and
I was raised to function fully and to survive,” Wanda says.
To utilize her talents and invest positively into others,
Wanda opened a ballet school in Edenton. Starting with
an enrollment of 25 students, the Rossman Ballet Academy
steadily grew to 250 dancers over time.
In 1994, Wanda retired from her studio to adopt a baby
girl, Victoria Anne, and raise her full-time. When her
daughter started school, she he went back to teaching
dance on a smaller scale, “working with kids to give them
life lessons, to share experiences, and give them tools to
think and be the best they can be.”
“It wasn’t that I knew all but that I wanted to share what I
learned,” she said.
Wanda found fulfillment and appreciated America, yet
had mixed emotions about relinquishing her South African
citizenship and passport.
“You are living the good life now and others, including
family and friends, are struggling in your mother country,”
she remembered.
“South Africa, the black sheep of the world due to apartheid
(segregation), meant sanctions, travel restrictions,
and disdain. If you were a white South African, you were
automatically labeled a racist and treated accordingly.”
Traveling with a South African passport internationally
wasn’t always easy either.
“I was not permitted to enter Spain, not even for an hour
flight layover,” she recalled.
What brought Wanda to the decision to finally gain U.S.
citizenship was the fact she was a taxpayer yet could
not vote. There were no structured citizenship classes
available to her at the time, yet Wanda read voraciously
on Civics 101 and intentionally took the next steps. The
citizenship test required her to cogently write a paragraph
in English and answer pertinent questions about U.S.
history and government before being fingerprinted.
Upon successful completion, Wanda could be sworn in
at an event in Camp Lejeune. However, she insisted on
staying close to home. Federal judge Terrance W. Boyle
graciously agreed to officiate the swearing-in ceremony
of U.S. citizenship in Historic Chowan County Courthouse.
Immediately after pledging the oath, she crossed
the street and registered to vote, recalling intense pride
and in receiving this privilege.
Currently a dance teacher at Edenton Dance Stars, she
is also a stained glass artist with several commissioned
pieces in in Northeastern North Carolina.
By Laura Bush Jenkins
“Working with glass, it does not always do what you want it to
do. It doesn’t always behave. You learn to roll with it yet at the
same time, you can manipulate such a hard, fragile, potentially
deadly substance into what you see in your mind’s eye.”
When Historic Chowan Courthouse hosts its first-ever formal
naturalization ceremony October 25th at 2pm, Wanda will fondly
look back at her experience while looking forward to the future.
“Love and support your country and your culture. Politics does
not a country make. People do. Nowhere on earth is there a
country as this, the idea of America.”
“If you were born into it, you were very lucky. Don’t take it for
granted. Be extremely grateful to be living in the United States
of America.”
“On October 2, 1992, Judge Terrance Boyle officially swore in Wanda
Rossman as a U.S. Citizen at Historic Chowan County Courthouse.”

The Forgotten American, some call it treason, some call it a poor man’s fight.
by Terrance Mann
It is tempting to look at the civil war through the eyes of
2015. But what was life like in 1850? Imagine yourself living
in the 3 miles per hour world, where you lived and died
within a 15 to 20-mile radius of where you were born. Conventional
19th-century wisdom held that a man on horseback
could cover about 20 miles a day without harming his
mount. Such was a typical life before the automobile, as
noted by Henry Ford. The world such as this one had limited
information sources. Newspapers, if you could read, and
local institutions such as churches certainly controlled much
of your perspective. The wise old man of the village could
offer some advice if passing something along to you could
be justified by his social class (the planter class). West Point
trained local Militia Officers. The officers might release a
nugget or two of information during weekend muster, again,
if it was in their self-interest. Such was the world of the
Southern States. Where filtered information was the norm.
It remained this way from the end of the American Revolution
until the Spanish-American War. Even longer in more
insular communities such as Northeastern North Carolina.
In simpler terms, you were a member of a captive audience
in the Old South as far as new ideas and information were
concerned.
Socially, if you were a yeoman farmer, your farm typically
had no slaves just family, a few laborers and a lot of hard
work from sun up to sunset. Such people had little time to
reflect on the larger issues of the day as life was hard scrabbling
in the swamps of Northeastern North Carolina. Traveling
to town was a big event each month. Going to Church 3
times a week and making muster with the local Militia were
all major social and cultural events in the South. These
institutions fed a person a 72-year inter-generational diet of
God, Country, and State’s rights. The founding of the nation
was still fresh on everyone’s mind. People understood that
the nation was founded on secession from England, and the
Declaration of Independence was the document that outlined
their separation from England. The institutions taught
Citizens that the new federal government was the glue that
held the states together, and that state secession was the
ultimate check to keep the federal government from tyranny.
After an incubation period of 72 years or longer, North
Carolina was confronted with secession and “state’s rights”.
North Carolina was reluctant to leave the Union and at best,
lukewarm to the idea of joining the Confederacy. Many of
its citizens were yeoman farmers and middle-class craftsmen
all of whom paid a living wage to laborers living on
their property. Laborers were free to come and go as they
pleased and free to leave and obtain a higher wage if there
was one available. Do not dismiss the Quaker influence in
North Carolina, specifically in Northeastern North Carolina.
We should be proud that this area was a stronghold for the
Underground Railroad, which couldn’t have happened without
cooperation from a large number of its people. These
“opposing tensions”- loyalty to the State of North Carolina
and making a cooperative independent living- played a role
in shaping the 1861 decision to leave the Union. South Carolina
was first to secede, and then Virginia. North Carolina
was in the middle. However, once Governor Ellis and our
legislature decided to leave the Union, the rank and file men
of the local Militias mustered for service without question as
they had been “classically conditioned” to do. Many of their
ancestors had mistakenly fought on the bogs of Culloden
for the “pretender” to the Scottish throne, Bonnie Prince
Charles. Loyalty and fidelity are just in the “DNA” of some
cultures.
We must conclude these yeoman farmers and craftsmen
completely inculcated with the idea of States Rights based
on even the slightest glance at this period of history. Yes,
State’s Rights. The political philosophy, some dare call treason,
from the manufactured-synthetic-pop-culture morality of
today. If this theory is treason, why were West Point Cadets
taught State’s Rights in Constitutional History prior to 1861?
West Point, a federally owned educational institution, was
funded by the United States Government. Adding further
evidence the United States recognized State’s Rights as a
legitimate right of governance. Why would the government
train the military otherwise? If the philosophy of state’s rights
was or is treason, then, evidence indicates it was State
sponsored prior to 1860. For the purpose of this article, I will
not touch on the Magna Carta, which turned 800 years old
in 2015. Nor the Scottish Enlightenment, or the Glorious English
Revolution of 1688 which gave Englishman their bill of
rights and set the social and political course of the American
Civil War. I will not include a discussion of the Mayflower
Compact or the American Bill of Rights which included (or
implied) States’ Rights political theory of Nullification. Daniel
Webster, or the fact each colony considered itself separate
and independent of one another at the signing of the
Declaration of Independence. And finally, I will not touch on
the Morrill Act which taxed 20% of the South’s wealth, paid
the fee directly to Northern manufacturers which created
regional mass inflation to purchase finished products for
Southerns. Southerns paid 12 times more the price for finished
goods than their Northern friends. The lower Southern
Editors note: This article is a reprint that was
published in the Tradewinds August 2015
edition with a few minor changes. We feel
the article is timely and offers a viewpoint
not heard in the national discussion of the
Confederate monuments. Keep in mind that
this article is of a historic nature, not a political
one. Terrance attempts to put the reader into
the world of a southern yeoman farmer/craftsman
in 1850, to help understand why he felt
the need to fight “northern aggressors” and
the States reasons for succession.

States exercised State’s rights and forged a free trade zone
in response to the Morrill Act . Think about it in a modern
context, how would such a gross economic disparity go
over while drinking morning coffee if your wife in Charleston
paid 12 times more for a pair of shoes than her counterpart
in Boston?
No, I only want to reference the rank and file soldier whose
wives, children and grandchildren wanted to honor the
service and memory of these men with a simple monument
on the public square. How important was it for the post- war
Southern Culture to recognize the rank and file soldiers of
the Confederate Army? Many families could only give 15
cents per year or less to their hometown monument committee.
These nominal amounts of money represented an entire
year’s worth of disposable income in most cases because
the entire south was living under the military occupation and
economic despotism of reconstruction. The Elizabeth City
monument was erected in 1911, the memories still fresh of
the war and the occupation in many a person’s mind.
This article has attempted to create a synopsis of the many
conversations I overheard as a child of these Confederate
Veteran’s children and grand-children. I wanted their voices
to heard and in some small way enter the current social conversation
modern America is having over the Confederacy.
It’s hard for a modern reader to understand North Carolina’s
reluctance. And how a moderate state could have given
so many soldiers and lost 40,275 lives to a cause of which
most wouldn’t benefit from its outcome either way.
Most Confederate Veterans who were lucky enough to survive
and rebuild had one lesson to pass on to their children
and families: “It was a rich man’s war, and poor man’s fight.”
These monuments all over the South represent the memories
and honor of that “Poor Man’s fight”.

INSURANCE IS A RIPOFF!!
By--JIM KAIGHN CLU,CHFC,RHU,AABA BSBA
In all my 50 years years in the insurance business, I have heard this
phrase repeated many,many times..Sometimes, the reason behind
the statement was true, for the customer really had bought an incorrect
policy from an inept and under trained agent..There are many
companies out there who feed off the ignorance of clients, for their
lack of knowledge on any subject of insurance. This reason is like I
have pointed out in previous articles, insurance IS NOT TAUGHT in
grade school ( which should be in the Math part of learning), again
,not taught in high school. So, when a customer takes the word of a
stranger selling ( or peddling ) insurance, or even from someone they
know who they would never suspect of WHODOOING THEM, what
are they to think when it comes time for a claim, and it is denied or
they get less than they thought they would get.. Everyone blames the
customer for not understanding the FINE PRINT THAT A PHILADEL-
PHIA LAWYER wrote in the contract.. The old saying “ let the buyer
beware”, comes into play here..But, it is not the customers fault, but
with no one to help them understand this maze of words or how to
protect themselves, no wonder they say INSURANCE IS A RIPOFF!!!!
flood “ approach.. The real help is to convince people NOT TO BUY
INSURANCE TROUGH A TV AD, OR MAIL, OR RADIO ADS, OR
TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE LIKE “ FLO” OR THE “THE GENERAL” OR
THE GECKO!! The other major problem is to many AGENTS are not
concerned about properly teaching their clients what is in their policy,
or they just do not care, which to me is CRIMINAL!! Many people call
or e-mail me with questions about their contracts and I try to answer ll
their questions.. Sometimes I can fix a problem another agent made,
but many times the damage has been done!! As long as customers
try to get the “best deal” to save a few bucks, there is always be
people yelling INSURANCE IS A RIPOFF!! If any of you folks have
questions, please call me at 252 202 5983 or 252 335 5983, or e-mail
me at INSDR@ROADRUNNER.COM
........Thought of the month “Be at peace with GOD, whatever you
conceive him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the
noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul!!” Happy Trails to
you!!
There is no easy fix to this problem. Over the years, the Insurance
Commisioner’s in Raleigh have taken measures to make sure agents
are trained by having them take mandatory training classes every
two years, or else they lose their license and can not sell insurance
in North Carolina.. But, this is only the “finger in the dyke to stop the
Expungements
I am frequently asked by people to help “get
something off” of their criminal record. One of
several tools that I can use to help with that is an
expunction, also known as an expungement.
An expunction erases from a criminal record,
and from all official records, any entries relating
to a person’s arrest and/or trial. Not only does
it erase those records, but it allows that person
to deny, or refuse to acknowledge, the existence
of that previous case, without worrying about
being found guilty of perjury or of giving a false
statement. Of course, getting an expunction
does not eliminate previous social media posts,
or people’s memories, about the expunged case.
Further, getting an expunction does not mean
that a prospective employer or school can’t or
won’t hold the old case against you. However,
removing those old entries from your official
records is typically very helpful.
Historically, a person could only get one expunction
per lifetime, and, for the most part, a person
could not get a criminal conviction expunged.
Instead, up until recently, a person could basically
only get an expunction if the charges were dismissed,
or if the person was found “not guilty”.
However, recently new laws have been passed
that open up a number of additional possibilities
for various expunctions, and, in some cases,
even the expungement of convictions, depending
on a number of various factors, including
age at the time of offense, the type of charge
involved, the outcome of case, and/or the number
of years passed since the case was concluded.
Further, new laws, and the strategic use of
by Danny Glover
various statutory provisions, can now sometimes
allow people to get multiple expunctions during
their life, even in multiple counties, depending on
a number of variables.
The expunction process involves filing a petition
and getting an initial court order, then an eligibility
verification by the SBI, and then a final court
order. The expunction order then forwarded to
the Clerk of Court’s office, as well as various
law enforcement offices, including local police
or sheriff’s department and the SBI and the
FBI. The process currently takes between 6-15
months from beginning to end, primarily due to
understaffing at the SBI.
Whether a person is eligible for an expunction
can be fairly complicated and requires an attorney
well-versed in all of the numerous expunctions
statutes. Not all criminal defense attorneys
regularly handle expunctions, so make sure that
you find one that does these so that you can get
maximum benefit from your expunction(s).

Dear Dr. Crime: You said you would discuss more about
gender differences in bad behavior. Please do so.
Dear Reader. I have been amazed at the attention this
topic has generated. And I agree, there has always
been a lot of interest in boys vs girls in behavior and other
ways. Clearly there are gender differences in crime rates.
The NC SBI reports the 2015 rate for violence crimes was
about 20% for women and 80% for men. For property
crimes women did about 35% and men did 65%. The US
FBI reported national arrests in 2014 were mainly males
(73 %) and the division for violent and property crimes
reflected the same gender difference. Differences in bad
behavior also are different, as for example the increase
in alcohol abuse. Women over an 11 year period showed
an increase of 84%. Alcohol abuse has been found to be
higher in young girls than young boys.
As I read the literature I found my earlier position was
simplistic. I urge the reader to review the current issue of
Scientific American with the title “Special Issue: Sex and
Gender – It’s Not a Women’s Issue: Everybody has a stake
in the new science of sex and gender”. The report relies
on both theory and research concluding most assumed differences
are myths. The assumption of males as promiscuous
and daring and females as cautious and chaste, and
that such differences determine the men to dominate and
succeed are wrong. They dispute the idea of distinct male
and female brains. Even the determination of male or
female as binary is questioned. With the social concerns
in recent times of this issue, this demands our attention.
Dear Dr. Crime: My sister’s children sit around all day and
do video games and they are awful and violent. It seems
to me that killing kids on the video game would teach the
children that is the way to act in real life. My sister won’t
stop the violent games. She won’t listen to my advice.
What do I do? Aunt Betty
Dear Aunt B. Tell her to read the February issue, 2017,
of American Psychologist. It includes a report by the
American Psychological Association on what the research
tells us about the relationship between violent video games
and “adverse outcomes”. It will back up your argument.
Using violent games was associated with higher aggression
scores, aggressive behavior, decreased empathy and
other learning outcomes we don’t want.
Dear Dr. Crime: Do we see ethnic differences in juvenile
offenses against other kids? Judge NotJudy.
Dear Judge. I am happy to report a drop in such statistics.
The personal offense case rate in juvenile court
decreased from 2005 to 2014 most for Asian youth (61
percent), followed by Hispanic youth (43 percent), white
youth (39 percent), American Indian youth (37 percent),
and black youth (32 percent). Drops in this rate should be
applauded.
Dear Dr. Crime: I heard you to say in public that the
Church plays a large role in crime control and I want you to
back that up. NoName
Dear NoName: As I have said before in this column, the
family and the Church are in my opinion, backed up by
research, to be the most important factors among many
factors in determining criminal / non-criminal behavior.
Credible research studied whether family and religious
characteristics influence crime and delinquency of children
followed for a long time. It found that having both parents
deters youths from becoming delinquent .
Religion enhances the effect of parental affection in
deterring delinquent behavior and reduces the risk of high
levels of delinquent behavior among youths in singleparent
families. The research backs up my argument.

Chowanoke History
In 1677, the Chowanoke Indians were
assigned to a reservation along Bennett’s
Creek in Gates County. This reserve
was granted by the NC Council just after
having lost their battle against the English
during the Chowan River War of
1675. Forty years later in 1717, the Indian
Woods Reservation was also created. This
reservation was located in Bertie County
and was granted by the NC Council to the
Tuscarora Indians, but also included the
Chowanoke Indians. This is interesting
considering the Chowanoke already had a
reservation along Bennett’s Creek where
they continued to live until the 1790’s. This
is evidenced by the appeals and complaints
made by the Chowanoke Chief to
the Council into the latter 1700’s and by
other historic documents.
However, what is even more interesting
is that the Indian Woods reservation was
located north of the Roanoke River and a
small part of its land mass encompassed
an area where historically a Chowanoke
village had occupied. In fact, two other
historic Chowanoke villages were also
located nearby. Historically, the Tuscarora
occupied territory located further southwest
of the Roanoke River. Comparing 1500,
1600 and 1700 maps will reveal that.
Have you wondered why then the Chowanoke
were included by the NC Council to
be placed on the reservation with the Tuscarora?
Furthermore, why did this occur
when the Chowanoke were already residing
on a reservation along Bennett’s Creek
by Duvonya Chavis
in Gates County? There are some historians
today who state that the Chowanoke
do not exist since they were incorporated
with the Tuscarora and migrated north with
them as well. Deciphering the history of the
Tuscarora and the Chowanoke may help
provide answers.
In a nutshell, there were two Tuscarora
groups. Chief Tom Blunt, who led the
northern Tuscarora group and who later
moved near the Chowanoke along the
Roanoke River, was diplomatic and friends
with the English. Chief Hancock, on the
other hand was not tolerant of European
encroachment and was not friendly
towards the English. He led the Tuscarora
group that occupied territory much further
south of the northern Tuscarora group
where New Bern is located today. When
the Tuscarora War broke out, Chief Blunt
would not engage as an ally with Chief
Hancock against the Europeans and aside
from capturing Chief Hancock, would have
little to do with the war. The Chowanoke
who were also friends with the English,
sided with the Europeans and fought
against Hancock’s group. Because of the
allegiance of Chief Blunt and the Chowanoke
to the English and because there
were Chowanoke Indians who still lived
in the Indian Woods area, I believe it was
only natural that the NC Council wanted to
include the Chowanoke who were residing
in that area on the reservation also.
Duvonya, a Chowanoke Indian
descendant, is President
of Roanoke-Chowan Native
American Association, a
non-profit organization whose
mission is to help American
Indians in Northeastern NC
and Southeastern VA. She
currently sits on the council
of the Chowanoke Tribe.
In partnership with another
Chowanoke descendant,
she is currently developing
Chowanoke Reservation for
tribal descendants to gather
and hold cultural events.

The 4 Easy Steps You Need To Take Toward Getting Your Dream Job!
Submitted by Dr. Judy M. Drago
Unless you inherited a lot of money or are fortunate
enough to win the lottery, you’re going to need a job after
high school. Most graduates will eventually find “a job”—
something that pays the bills. But wait: don’t you want to
find a job that not only pays the bills, but also that you
enjoy? At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, we recommend
high school graduates follow 4 steps to achieve
their dreams: (1) know your personality; (2) understand
what rewards motivate you; (3) choose the right school,
and (4) plan how you will pay the tuition.
Step One: Understand who you are and what your
personality type is. Here’s the thing: some people are
better suited for certain jobs based on who they are and
what they like… so this is important! Many introverts,
for example, are highly creative and may do well as
engineers or architects, but may struggle as salespeople
or public relations specialists. Want to learn more about
yourself and your personality type? Take the NERIS
Type Explorer here: https://ernie.erau.edu/Departments/
student-affairs-worldwide/career-services/Pages/Default.
aspx .
Step Two: Identify the types of job rewards that
motivate you: High salary, job security, flexible hours,
adventure, leadership, travel, helping others, a creative
environment, etc. Be sure to make an actual list
of expected rewards. Corporate executives may relish
their leadership role while others simply want to work
on a project for 8 hours and go home. Some find travel
rewarding, while others want to sleep in their own beds
at night. A good career fit is one suited to your personality
and reward expectations.
Step Three: Choose a school where you can gain
the training needed for your dream job. Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University understand personality and motivation--
this is why it offers a wide range of programs!
From high-tech fields like unmanned systems and cyber
security to interdisciplinary studies and general management,
there’s a program for everyone!
Step Four: Determine how to pay for your education. At
the Elizabeth City Campus, students generally fund their
education with U.S. Coast Guard military tuition assistance,
the VA GIBILL, the Federal Pell Grant (www.fafsa.
gov), and through scholarships identified by the campus
and university. The Elizabeth City Campus serves the
academic needs of active-duty military and base support
personnel working on the U.S.C.G base Elizabeth City.
Dependents may also attend Embry-Riddle.

Doggie Odors
by: Tracy Winters, Owner/Groomer
Last month’s article related to bad breath odors in your
dog. This month I want to continue on that path with ideas
and helpful hints for overcoming unpleasant “doggie”
odors on your beloved pet. Body odors are more prevalent
in some breeds than in others. Breeds such as
Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, Maltese, Pomeranians
to name just a few, usually don’t have problems
with that “doggie” smell more commonly found in some
of your larger breeds. Breeds such as Pit Bulls, Labradors,
Golden Retrievers, hound breeds, are more likely to
develop body odors over time.
These odors can be problematic for those who allow
their pets plenty of time inside the house where the owners
are in close contact with their pet. There are ways to
combat or at least minimize these unpleasant odors and
they are very inexpensive. One word of caution in trying
to overcome these body odors, don’t over bathe. Over
bathing, more than once a month, will actually contribute
to the unpleasant “doggie” smell. The reason for this is
that a dog’s skin has sebaceous glands just like people
do. These sebaceous glands secrete sebum which is the
natural fatty moisturizer for the skin. By bathing your dog,
especially over bathing, you are stripping away these
natural moisturizers. This sends the sebaceous glands
into overdrive to replenish the moisture to the skin.
It’s this state of over producing sebum that contributes
to that “doggie” smell. This is why a reputable groomer
will follow your dog’s bath with an appropriate conditioner
to help replenish the moisture lost during the bath. Some
simple and inexpensive ways to refresh your dog’s skin
and coat to help minimize these unpleasant odors is by
using baking soda, an over-the- counter waterless shampoo,
and/or misting their coat with an approved and safe
doggie cologne.
Baking soda is natural, cheap, and readily available
in most homes. Sprinkle and message the baking soda
into their coat and then brush out. Waterless shampoos
are easy and inexpensive as well. Just pump some into
your hands and rub into the coat well. Brush. After bath
colognes are very easy to use. Just lightly mist the coat
all over. You can then message it into the coat if you
wish. These methods of reducing unpleasant odors are
far more favorable and you can do them as often as you
like. Follow manufacturer’s directions on the waterless
shampoos.

Experience Antebellum Living History at Crafts & Crop Day
by Laura Bush Jenkins
Did you know the 3rd largest plantation in North Carolina
existed nearby at Creswell’s Somerset Place?
Six thousand acres were actively cleared and cultivated to
to generate an agricultural powerhouse producing cash crops
such as corn, wheat, oats, flax, beans, rice, and lumber.
This fall, you and your family can join in hands-on activities
from the Antebellum era at Crafts & Crop Day, October 21st
fro 10-3, just minutes from Pettigrew State Park.
“While other plantations focus on life in the owner’s compound,
our facilities also put the experience of the 861
enslaved people living and working at Somerset Place over
the eighty year history front and center,” said Assistant Site
Manager Kathleen Gleditsch.
To learn more about Somerset Place Historic Site or to involved
as a volunteer re-enactor, contact 252 797 4560.
Come experience what day-to-day life was like by making
corn crafts, competing in a corn-hole game, engaging in corn
processing food demonstrations, and sampling corn products.
Somerset’s popular cornbread recipe and mix will be sold and
rental stations will be available to local arts and vendors to
sell their artwork, crafts, and food items.
Special event admission is $2 for children under 12 and $4
for adults, plus applicable taxes.
You can learn about the history of Somerset Place by engaging
in a guided tour of the plantation. Tours start in the
enslaved community and end at the plantation house, with
emphasis on personal aspects of how life was lived. The Collins
house has some furniture original to the family, and other
works on display were re-created to accurately represent
the historical period. In addition, a descendant of the Collins
family generously donated some artifacts on display.

Roasted Peanuts
By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com
Do you ever look back on your childhood and recall something so
minuscule yet so vivid in your memory? With the first cool air of fall, I
fondly remember the parched peanuts that my grandmother used to
fix as an evening treat or bedtime snack. She used to keep a burlap
sack of raw peanuts hanging in the smokehouse from the rafters. I
even remember when they raised peanuts in our county and you could
see peanut stacks drying in the sun. She would take a pan or small
tub to the smokehouse and get a good measure of peanuts to bring to
the house for parching. Sometimes she would put them in the big iron
skillet and parch them over a burner on the gas stove. Other times she
would layer a cookie sheet or biscuit pan and parch them in the oven.
Either way, it was some good munching while we watched the old
black and white TV or played a game of cards (she and I always
enjoyed a game of war). I have many memories of sitting in the living
room around the old wood heater and snacking on a batch parched
peanuts. Some years ago I was in Oliver’s Market in Roper and noticed
that they were selling raw peanuts for 50 cents per pound. I decided to
buy 5 pounds and try my luck at parching them. Once home, I loaded
up a baking pan with a good layer of peanuts shelled or not (about 1
pound), set the oven on 350 degrees, and baked them for about 20-25
minutes. The results were excellent! My family ate them hot off the pan
and I stuffed the leftovers in a zip lock bag as a snack for work the next
day. Stop by a local farmers market or supermarket this fall and find
some raw peanuts to try your luck at parching a batch.
You’ll be glad you did!

ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY: ELDER SOPHRONY AND ST. SILOUAN THE ATHONITE
Elder Sophrony Sakharov (1896-1993) was born into an
Orthodox Christian family in Tsarist Russia. He attended the
State School of Fine Arts in Moscow and became a successful
painter, exhibiting his works in the prestigious Paris salons.
With the advent of the First World War and the Russian Revolution,
he was overwhelmed by the existential question of
suffering. He immersed himself in Buddhist and Hindu teachings
and meditative practices in an attempt to divest himself of
the root of suffering. He later repented deeply of this diversion
and returned to the Orthodox Faith of his childhood.
After a brief period of theological study in Paris, he departed
for the ancient Orthodox monastic republic of Mount Athos.
There he spent fifteen years in a monastery and an additional
seven years as a hermit in the forest. At Mount Athos he
encounterd Elder Silouan, under whose guidance he came to
know the Uncreated Light.
In 1959, with a group of disciples who had gathered around
him, Elder Sophrony founded the Monastic Community of
St. John the Baptist in Essex, England. The monastery has
become one of the major Orthodox spiritual centers in Western
Europe. Elder Sophrony has written extensively on the teachings
of his elder, St. Silouan of Mt. Athos.
True contemplation begins the moment we become aware
of sin in us. The Old Testament understood sin as the breach
of the moral and religious precepts of the Law of Moses. The
New Testament transferred the concept of sin to the inward
man. To apprehend sin in oneself is a spiritual act, impossible
without grace, without the drawing near to us of Divine Light.
The initial effect of the approach of this mysterious Light is that
we see where we stand ‘spiritually’ at the particular moment.
The first manifestations of this Uncreated Light do not allow us
to experience it as light. It shines in a secret way, illuminating
the black darkness of our inner world to disclose a spectacle
that is far from joyous…We become acutely conscious of sin
as a sundering from the ontological source of our being. Our
spirit is eternal but now we see ourselves as prisoners of
death…
The horror of seeing oneself as one is acts as a consuming
fire. The more thoroughly the fire performs its purifying work,
the more agonizing our spiritual pain. Yet, inexplicably, the
unseen Light gives us a sense of divine presence within us:
a strange secret presence that draws us to itself, to a state of
contemplation which we know is genuine because our heart
begins to throb day and night with prayer. It cannot be too
often repeated that divine action has a twofold movement:
one, which seems to us the first, plunges us into darkness and
suffering. The other lifts us into the lofty spheres of the divine
world. The range of our inner being expands and grows.

Co. Ltd 1977

A Second Chance for a Self-Starter by Matt Morrison
In the last edition of the Tradewinds, we elaborated on
the features of the Heron’s Landing residence in Chesapeake.
This month, however, we’d like to introduce
you to one of our remarkable residents who has called it
home for the past year.
Growing up, Rita went to church, played volleyball, ran
track, and worked. “I’ve always worked, since I was 13.
Summer jobs after school, working in day care, cleaning
the parks; I’ve just always been used to working.”
Faith, school, and hard work have guided Rita’s life even
during the years she spent sleeping on the waterfront
and in shelters.
Rita dropped out of school after becoming pregnant.
Later, still in her teens, she worked loading and unloading
container ships. As an adult, she cleaned, worked as
a cook, drove a truck, and moved boxes in a warehouse.
But circumstances conspired against her. “I got injured
on the job. I got behind on my rent, and I lost my apartment
and everything.” She now has shoulder, knee, and
back issues as a result of her lifetime of hard work.
Rita soon moved up to New York to care for a relative
who had dementia. During her stay, she found work and
went back to school, but she received the devastating
news that her infant grandson had passed away, causing
her to come back to Hampton Roads to console her
daughter.
Work was difficult to come by, so she ended up sleeping
in her daughter’s car, at shelters, or on the streets.
Though Rita was homeless and at times despaired, she
kept working whenever she could. “I got through it with
prayer. I stayed at a lot of churches. If I found a quarter
on the ground, I would give it to the church. It wasn’t
much, but to me, they made it possible to eat, and be
safe from harm and danger. That’s what brought me
here today,” she says, referring to Oasis Social Ministry
in Portsmouth, which helped her connect with Virginia
Supportive Housing. “It’s a blessing to be at Heron’s
Landing. I get support from Mr. Miller, the case manager,
and others in the building.” The staff is helping Rita apply
for social security and connect with counselors who
assist her with the challenges she faces. “During the day,
I keep my granddaughter. Even when I don’t have her,
I try to keep busy.” Her daily to-do list includes studying
the Bible, nurturing a windowsill full of plants, and helping
the building stay neat and tidy.
What’s next for Rita? She wants to go back to work,
and eventually move on. ”Someone else may need this
place.” But one item tops her list. “I would like to give
back to all the people who helped me. They didn’t have
to do it. I’d like to let them know how much I appreciate
their help.”
Rita would especially like to fulfill a lifelong dream
of completing her GED, too. However, she can’t get
consistent transportation to the closest tutoring program
and it is too far to walk. Supportive Services Specialists
like Duane Miller help Rita get bus passes and connect
to the assistance that helps them live independently, but
they need your help to deliver this consistently. Would
you like to partner with Duane to help Rita and others
achieve their dreams? Contact Arden Reed at areed@
virginiasupportivehousing.org, 757-355-0508, or visit our
website at virginiasupportivehousing.org. Thank you!

Should You Talk to a Lawyer?
It Doesn’t Get Any Easier - A Reality Check for
Caregivers, Part 2
Last month I wrote about two situations: caring for my
grandmother (Nana) who suffers from acute short-term
memory loss and my neighbor who was caring for
her 93-year-old mother after hip replacement surgery.
Acknowledging that the situation was most likely not
going to improve, I outlined four points to consider as a
caregiver.
They were:
1. Start long term care planning, not stop-gap planning.
2. Get your loved one assessed by a professional.
3. Don’t take the resistance you encounter personally.
4. Reach out for help.
Why is this background important? Well, my mother
had my grandmother (Nana) assessed. The doctor said
my grandmother needed full-time care – not nurses but
a companion. Most recently my grandmother suffered
from dehydration and malnutrition. Nana was in the
hospital overnight. She could not remember if she’d
eaten – so she assumed she had. Also, Nana has
become increasingly disoriented to the point of wandering
several blocks from a Burger Kind when my mother
went to the ladies’ room. All of this is quite upsetting to
my grandmother when she gets an occasional glimpse
of the situation.
My mother and Nana go to lunch with friends and
regularly attend movies and concerts. Nana cannot
remember act of the activities, but she enjoys the moment.
Nana takes pride in her routine -every morning
she walks, not just a block or two, but two miles. The
rest of her day is filled with either a trip to the post office
or a hair appointment. But because Nana suffers from
acute short-term memory loss and becomes easily disoriented,
the doctor said she needed to have someone
either with her full-time or at least 6-8 hours a day. My
mother took the doctor’s advice and after many difficult
and lengthy interviews – found a “companion” for my
grandmother.

By: Stella Knight
What were the results? This lovely charming grandmother
turned into a sullen, miserable person – “I don’t
need help!” “Why did you do this to me?” “Am I crazy
and cannot take care of myself?” “I want to die!” From
that point on, everything my mother and grandmother
did together seemed to be covered with a cloud of distress.
There was no more spontaneous laughing, joking
or teasing between them.
As my mother said, “There was a wall between us
and I had built it by forcing “helpers” on her. At night, I
would worry about the pain I had caused my mother by
introducing these people into her life. In discussing the
problem with a friend who empathized with me since
she had gone through a comparable situation with her
mother, she told me, “I, too, tried to help my mother and
get her some assistance.
I think mother died hating me.”
After two weeks, my mother could not take it anymore!
The help was canceled and my mother realized that if
Nana missed a meal (or two) she would not die. Nana
never wanted to live with my mother, she cherished her
independence. If my grandmother were at full mental
capacity, she would not want my mother to “sacrifice”
her life to care for her.
Solution. My mother tells what her “caregiving” solution
is: I will continue to call my mother each day. I will
make sure we do some activities together one or two
days a week. I have engaged the help of my siblings –
Nana will visit with each of my brothers for four weeks
in the summer and my sister will come for a week when
I travel to see my children. Yes, this is a “temporary
solution.” I tried the “ounce of prevention” with daily
companions and it did not work. If my mother’s situation
deteriorates, then her failure to allow me to plan
will have created the only alternative – a community
residence. It may be a haphazard solution but both my
mother and I are much happier. It’s a solution we are
happy with and can live with – that’s what it’s all about.
More of us than ever before are becoming caregivers
to loved ones, either because of choice or necessity.
There are no easy solutions. Each family situation
is unique and your alternatives may be limited due
to financial resources, family support or community
resources. Be pro-active. Don’t wait for a crisis before
you begin talking with your loved ones and acquiring
valuable information.

Art in the Albemarle Area
I have written a few articles on the burgeoning
rock painting groups in our area.
Why such an exponential growth in these
groups, after all, rocks have been around
for quite a long time. Many of us used
to kick them around and now... we paint them. It is just
a rock, but when you paint it, a new world of art opens
up to you. A wide range of emotions are elicited when
someone finds a painted rock. I have had the opportunity
to see these responses. A cancer patient has her
world brightened by a group of “rockers” placing several
for her to find. A small child gazing with wonder at the
tiny rock she just found. One of our older neighbors
cherishing the memories evoked by a simple painting on
a stone. Amazing is an understatement for this, after all,
we have been painting on stone since the prehistoric period,
think petroglyph’s, hieroglyphs, etc. So get yourself
some rocks and give it a try... you won’t regret it and you
just might find a new way to relieve stress.
I hope you have taken the time to try and put some
acrylic paint on paper, or canvas, or even a rock. Acrylic
painting is fun and easy to accomplish. In this article I
want you to mix some paints together, two at a time,
to see what different colors will come from this mixture.
If you have access to a color wheel, fantastic,(you can
always find one on the Internet), this may help you
get started, However, seeing the expected colors on
a color wheel and actually mixing the paint in a hands
on manner may yield differing results. I suggest you try
the “hands on” approach. You can vary the amount of
each color and different tones will appear. This is your
“starting” point to becoming a successful artist. Learning
what your particular brand of colors will do when mixed.
Make a note in your journal or create a chart that shows
the different mixtures. It is fun to do and makes for some
interesting color combinations. To create your color
chart, draw a grid with your colors written along the top
of the grid and other colors written down the left side
of the grid. Paint a line from the left side to the right of
By:Talmage Dunn
the first color you will be using, (do this for each color).
Then, paint a vertical line from top to bottom of the first
color and so on until you have a color grid and you see
how each color mixed with another. So you can now
create the color combination you are seeking.
Some readers have told me that they would run into a
“painter’s block” and have no idea what to paint. When
this happens to me I just throw some paint on canvas
and see where the painting takes me. Another idea is
to look at the season of the year, such as Fall, and see
if a general theme comes to mind. Whatever it is that is
causing your block will generally disappear as you start
to create a painting. Don’t get discouraged. It happens
to us all. The main thing for you as an artist is to get
some paint on canvas, relax, and just lose yourself in
the painting.
I have included a very simple rock painting in this article.
Look at it, does it cause you to remember a different
time or place? Try it.. paint something... I promise you
will like it.
Send me some of pictures of your artwork... please.
I will try and incorporate a picture or two in the coming
months. Next issue …. I will continue to show how to
create paintings using acrylics.
The Fall season is coming as are the beautiful colors
of that time of year. Go out enjoy the beauty and then
come in and paint!

Summer Mold & Odor Check-Up
(Harry Cannon is a mold product patent holder and
owner of Dwelling Management Solutions)
By Harry Cannon Dwelling
Management Solutions
It’s that time of year with the combination of
summer heat, closed homes, and heavy rains,
that can cause problems with mold. If you are
having problems with your allergies, there is a
good chance you are experiencing some mold
issues.
Mold & Other Odors
Often if mold is growing in a home, or office you
will smell a musty moldy smell. Don’t ignore
these odors, just because you cannot see mold
doesn’t mean it’s not there. If you smell the
moldy odor, have your home inspected. Mold
could be growing behind the walls, carpets, or in
your HVAC unit.
Visible Signs of Mold
Often people mistake mold growth as dirt, or
soot. Many just ignore the mold growth, however,
if you see any mold or areas that look
like mold, have your mold inspected by trained
professionals. What could be a small patch on
your wall could be 10 larger behind the wall.
Mold colonies grow quickly and large under the
right conditions.
Molds are often colors that you would not expect.
Some are small black spots, gray-brown,
gray -green or white in color.
Water Leaks & Flooding
If you had a water leak there is a good possibility
you will have some mold growing. Check your
walls for dampness, and soft spots. Water leaks
can seep through walls and the mold growth
might not be visible Check near you plumbing
and pipes for mold growth. If you have water
leaks under your sink check to see if your inner
cabinets have mold growing.
High Moisture Content
If you see lots of condensation in your home, or
office that’s a good sign of high moisture content
that can cause mold. Check you glass windows,
and metal pipes. Rusting pipes are a good sign
of high moisture and potential mold issues.

Albemarle Loop News
Dismal Swamp Canal News
Sponsored by
Dwelling Management
Solutions
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced
that it expects to complete repairs to
the Dismal Swamp Canal by the end of September.
That would be just in time for the Intracoastal
migration of boaters heading south for warmer
climes. This is good news indeed for recreational
boaters who prefer the Dismal Swamp Canal to
the Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal, which is
traveled mostly by commercial vessels.
Hurricane Matthew severely damaged
the canal last October, knocking over 350 trees
into it and causing a great deal of shoaling that
required extensive dredging, both in the feeder
ditch from Lake Drummond and in the canal
itself. The final dredging phase is underway in
the Turner Cut that connects the canal between
the South Mills Lock and the Pasquotank River.
When this is completed, boaters will finally be
able to sail all the way from Norfolk to Elizabeth
City and the Albemarle Sound.
The Dismal Swamp Canal is the oldest
operating artificial waterway in the United States.
Its history goes back to 1763 when George
Washington was one of twelve Virginians who
formed the Dismal Swamp Company with the
goal of draining the swamp and saving the land
for development. Nothing much came of the
original plans until Washington, Patrick Henry,
and others came up with the idea of building
a canal through the Dismal Swamp to provide
inland navigation between the Chesapeake Bay
and the Albemarle Sound. Digging began in
1793, and the 22-mile waterway was completed
in 1805.
Throughout its early history, the Dismal
Swamp Canal was used to ship produce and
merchandise between Norfolk and Elizabeth
City. The canal even had a hotel on the Virginia-North
Carolina state line that was reputedly
popular with gamblers; when law-enforcement
authorities came up from one state, the gamblers
simply stepped over the state line to avoid
prosecution.
It does not do to leave a live
dragon out of your calculations,
if you live near him.

Living History Re-Enactors Take Students (and Adults) out of their Element
by Laura Bush Jenkins
If you really want your child to understand what life was like
before cell phones, bring him to Historic Edenton’s upcoming
Colonial History Days, October 13-14th.
This event with local re-enactors immerses students in
pertinent tasks of colonial life and shows the resourcefulness
early settlers employed in daily living. Hands-on interpretations
may include candle-making,butter-making, iron forging,
open hearth cooking, and weapons demonstrations.
re-enactors who perform with attention to historical detail.
Although pirates will distance themselves from a wedding
happening downtown Friday night, they will “raid” Edenton
Bay Trading Company, Waterman’s Grill, and Bisto 309 and
interact with the clientele inside these establishments.
“The ‘Devilmen’ have performed here in the past and are
an authentic, appropriate living history interpretation,” says
Historic Site Edenton manager Bob Hopkins.

We are currently in second place at 5-1 in the Southern
Division, behind the 2016 and 2017 National Champion
Virginia Crusaders who are at 6-0. We are in third
place altogether as the Baltimore Broncos are at 7-0 in
the northern division.
Natalie Harrison, former teacher and new program director
at Historic Site Edenton, recognizes this living history forum
as a powerful method of engagement connecting with the
younger generation.
“Living history provides students with a participatory experience
that is enjoyable and fun. Rather than passively taking
in information, students use another part of their brain and
learn differently than what people typically think of when it
comes to studying history.”
To complement living history demonstrations, a special
visit from the Elizabeth II takes place Friday and Saturday
(weather-permitting) at the downtown waterfront. The ship,
ordinarily housed at Roanoke Island Festival Park, represents
one of seven original English vessels that came to
Roanoke settlement in 1585 before the Jamestown Colony.
Weekend visitors also have an opportunity to connect
with “The Devilmen of Cape Fear,” a distinct group of pirate
“What’s so fun with the town pirate raid is the interaction
with Edenton’s unsuspecting visitors. It’s an unusual, realistic
opportunity people remember.”
Colonial History Days festivities intersect with Edenton’s
celebration of the 250th anniversary of Chowan County
Courthouse. The oldest courthouse in the state, it is still in
use today. In fact, Chowan County Courthouse will hold its
first-ever formal naturalization ceremony on October 25th at
2pm, welcoming new citizens and their families.

your family can make meaningful, educational memories,

Father Cycles 270+ Miles Sharing Hope For Kids and Families Battling Pediatric Cancer
When asked why he is embarking on a lengthy, adventurous
bike ride away from family, Shane Sprague of
Hertford says: “I just want to give back. I want to build
lifelong relationships and let others know it’s possible to
beat [pediatric cancer.]”
On September 12-15, Shane and 11 men will cycle
from Washington D.C. to Richmond and Norfolk, visiting
children and families at Children’s National Medical Center,
Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU, and Children’s
Hospital of the King’s Daughters (CHKD.) Riders
include a Pediatric Oncologist, CHKD Child Life Director,
and two individuals who personally overcame cancer.
Shane, who serves in the United States Coast Guard,
became personally involved encouraging pediatric
cancer patients after his son Tanner was diagnosed with
Bone Cancer in March of 2016.
“Tanner spent most of 2016 going back and forth to
CHKD for treatments. With his type of cancer he was
able to go back home.”
“Most leukemia patients go straight into the hospital
and remain there for many weeks.”
The Roc Solid Foundation provides Ready Bags
equipped with necessities for children and families when
they enter treatment. The Roc Solid support system surrounds
each family, providing encouragement and hope
throughout the child’s treatment. Behind the scenes big
plans are being made for a grand surprise.
Join us at Facebook EC Joy Rocks to locate painted prize rocks.
Anywhere from free gifts to percentages off.
“We’ve always been relatively positive people, but
doing things like going to the grocery store can be hard
sometimes. Families have to stay isolated from the public
and any exposure to germs ,” said Shane.
As Tanner healed and recovered, the Roc Solid Foundation
generously picked him and his family up in a limo
for a surprise breakfast at IHOP and bowling at Albemarle
Lanes. When the Spragues arrived home, people
were in the yard waving encouraging signs. Tanner was
then presented with a plaque describing, “What Cancer
Can Not Do”.
Tanner was astonished to see he had received a complete
room makeover equivalent to what you might see
on HGTV. Roc Solid Foundation blessed 3 other local
area families with a backyard play-set or room remodel
in the last year.
“The rooms and play sets really give the kids an outlet
to get their life back through the power of play,” Shane
explains.
If you would like to help remodel a room or build a playset
for a young cancer patient in the community, you
can contact Roc Solid Foundation on Facebook or www.
rocsolidfoundation.org or at 757 966 5500.
If you would like to support Shane in his goal to raise
$5,000.00 for RocTheRide2017 please visit his crowdrise
page, www.crowdrise.com/shane-Sprague.
Shane would like to thank all of his supporters, including
those who took part in the recent Bow raffle held at PGF
Archery’s Grand Opening.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures
When you are reading this article, I will have begun another journey
in my life. I just left Camden for North Carolina State University to
continue my education towards my goal of making my living on the
waters of the ocean. I fell in love with the sport of fishing from the
time I was three years old. My Dad and I were surf fishing and Dad
hooked a Sea Mullet on a bottom rig and he handed me the rod. From
that moment in time, I was hooked! I got him to the surf and Dad
dehooked him and released him back into the ocean to be caught
another day. I have spent countless hours on the surf, the pier planks
and on the deck of many boats learning and improving my skills as a
fisherman. I was never alone on this journey, and I was honored to be
educated by many great fishing enthusiasts. I would like to take this
time to recognize them.
I was educated by many “Pier Fathers or Pier Elders” on the Avalon
Fishing Pier who took their time to teach me everything from tying
knots, fishing secrets to fishing etiquette. Also many captains have
taken me under their wings and helped me through the years. Captain
Devin Cage cut my teeth and honed my skills on Rockfish and
Cobia. Captains Jim Rickman, Ray Pugh, Marc Kerns, Tommy Merrell,
Jim Ashley, Arch Bracher and Rick Caton have also taught me a great
deal along this journey. Captain Spurgeon Stowe also has taken me
under his wing on numerous trips and taught me a great deal about
bottom fishing, as well as King Mackerel live baiting.
Captain Brant Wise took me on my first offshore fishing trip on his
boat The Swordfish. Brant only stoked the fires of my passion and
made me want to come back for more. I had many a great day of
fishing on Brant’s boat, as well as many of fishing firsts. Sadly a few
by Jake Worthington
months ago, I also got to experience what it means to lose a friend
and mentor when Brant died this past April. He may be gone, but he
will never be forgotten by me. Also Captain “Big Al” Foreman taught
me a lot during my trips with him and his son Charles. Sadly Big Al
passed away back in June and the fishing community will miss him.
I would also like to thank Scott Perry and Ken Morgan for giving me
the opportunity to right this article for the Albemarle Tradewinds. I had
just turned 16 when they offered me the job, and I appreciate him
giving me this opportunity at such a young age. Finally, I would like to
thank my parents for believing in me and giving me all the opportunities
I have experienced over the years. As you read my upcoming
articles during this school year, know that I am landlocked in Raleigh
and wishing I was fishing!

New World Festival of the Arts Award Recipients Announced
Perfect summer weather, over 75 worldclass
artists, and the backdrop of the Manteo
waterfront provided the ideal setting for
the 36th Annual New World Festival of the
Arts on August 16 and 17.
Mixed media artist Lisa Beth Robinson,
who is an assistant professor at East Carolina University in
Greenville, NC, judged the show. She observed watercolor,
acrylic, photography, jewelry, ceramics, wood design, leatherwork,
and many other media.
“Jurying the show presented me with difficult choices; I
saw a great deal of beautiful and finely crafted work,” said
Lisa Beth Robinson. “My first consideration was, of course,
the formal properties of the work: craft, skill, creativity, and
concept. Beyond that, I was looking for artists who used
their media in ways that exceeded the traditional boundaries
of the material with an exceptional level of skill and work that
appeared ripe for pushing these boundaries.”
Robinson carefully selected the following winners:

watercolor artist who paints on paper with transparent watercolor.
Third place winner Gregory Bryant’s unique porcelain
jewelry has an ancient, yet modern design.
“What a nice surprise it was to get this award,” said artist
Gregory Bryant. “This was my third year participating in the

Happy Labor Day!
By Rosie Hawthorne
Wave
It's not just another wave,
it's an experience.
A lot of us have Labor Day celebrations to attend and whatever the party, potluck,
or picnic you go to, there will always be the ubiquitous deviled eggs. I have two
egg recipes for you that will stand out in the crowd.
Read More at:
outerbankswave.com
To prepare eggs:
Take a push pin and prick the large end of the eggs. Gently drop the
eggs into boiling water. Cover the pot. Turn off the heat. Let eggs sit
for 10 minutes. Remove eggs. Run under cold water. Peel.
Now, about that peel.
Some eggs just ain’t gonna peel without taking off half the white and
some of the yolk. Usually, it’s because they’re fresh.
Here’s the eggsplanation:
In a fresh egg, the whites stick to the inner shell membrane. As the
egg ages, the shell becomes more porous, absorbing air and releasing
carbon dioxide. The environment becomes more alkaline, causing the
white to shrink a bit and release from the inner membrane. Thus you
have an easier-to-peel egg. By pricking the egg, you give a quick escape
route for the expanding air, giving you an egg with a rounded, not
flat, end, and allowing water to leak between the shell and the egg’s
internal membrane, making it easier to peel.

Power Comes to Eastern NC
The rural society of eastern North Carolina has mirrored
the character and spirit of America throughout our country’s
history. Born of agriculture and timber, the introduction of
electricity would prove a modern convenience. It would also
frame a battle between business interests and the public
good based in a morality of growth for immediate profit versus
a longer-term vision of our country’s future.
Initially, private companies knew the price of extending
power lines into rural areas was cost prohibitive. Some
large farms, mainly in the Midwest, began an initiative in the
1920’s by forming electric power cooperatives. Few areas
in the USA were considered agriculturally developed enough
for such an investment.
It finally became the vision in 1933 of the Franklin Delano
Roosevelt administration that the federal government
needed to stimulate rural electrification. In 1935, legislation
created the REA (Rural Electrification Authority) as part of
the “New Deal” stimulus to recover from the “Great Depression”.
North Carolina responded quickly. Though in-state
resistance was strong from private power companies, the
emergence of non-profit electric cooperatives stimulated by
grant monies created both competition and opportunity. By
1950, it is estimated that 90% of farms had electricity. This
expansion posed the opportunity for cities and towns to
enter the power business also.
In 1981, some not so fortunate municipalities in eastern
North Carolina got caught in a mix of bad timing, poor decisions,
and an unfortunate out of the area catastrophe.
These circumstances allow us to visit Three Mile Island,
Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant, and the Federal Reserve.
These three players framed “a Perfect Storm” that would
become a generational debt that haunts the citizens of 32
area municipalities on a monthly basis. In 1979 a meltdown
of fuel rods forced a shutdown at the Three Mile Island
Nuclear Plant in Pennsylvania. It was the nations first
nuclear accident and brought about retail changes in every
aspect of the conversation of nuclear expansion. In North
Carolina, construction of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant
was underway and by 1982 the assets of Shearon Harris
Elizabeth City Hero Operations
were bought by NCEMPA (North Carolina Eastern Municipal
Power Agency) in a 45-year agreement. New Federal
regulations after Three Mile Island drove refitting and cost
overruns at Shearon Harris to a final cost of $3.9 Billion. The
financing of this project occurred during the most dismal of
financial times.
The Prime Rate ( the cost of loans to the most creditworthy
customers) was in double digits. To fight inflation, the Federal
Reserve had been raising the federal funds rate (which
banks use as a guide to set the Prime Rate) as a strategy
to slow the economy. Borrowing for Shearon Harris was
increased as mentioned above. Subsequently, the 32 municipalities
of the NCEMPA shared the costs. The 45-year
agreement means the Elizabeth City has 8 more years to
pay on its 4.052%, which amounts to about $14 Million. As
of 7/2/2017, there is a balance of $347, 540,000. Greenville
owes $70 Million, Edenton owes $5.4 Million, Wilson $ 61.6
Million and Hertford $1.3 Million. The other 27 municipalities
share the balance at different percentages of the total.
With the minority ownership purchase of five CP&L (Carolina
Power and Light) plants in 1982, including Shearon Harris,
NCEMPA, with its 32 member municipalities, entered the
power generation business with investor-owned utilities.
This agreement made three years after the Three Mile
Island accident, left NCEMPA members with a heavy debt
burden of expensive nuclear generation.
Could it be that eastern North Carolina was out maneuvered
by investor-owned utilities like CP&L and Duke
Power?...the same utilities that had so vigorously fought
against competition over the years. The municipal power
agencies by buying theses assets helped investor-owned
utilities complete their projects. Statewide power distribution
was expanded and economic development efforts were enhanced.
A historical note: from I-85 east along the Virginia
line and down the coast to Pender County draw a line back
to I-85 at the Virginia state line. These counties within this
area have been among the poorest in the state forever. This
area is mostly represented as the 1st and 3rd Congressional
Districts. Most NCEMPA members are located here. In Elizabeth
City, the night the city council voted to join NCEMPA,
no public reading of the proposal occurred. The statement
was made that Rocky Mount said it’s OK. Much to the disgust
of some citizens in attendance, The Mayor proceeded
with the vote.
There is, however, some good news. NCEMPA wholesale
rates are set by the ElectriCities Board of Directors and approved
by the Board of Governors. Each individual municipality
is responsible for setting its own residential, commercial,
and industrial rates. A recent comparison of rates in our
region showed how six electric providers stack up on the
per kWh charge and adding the monthly base charge:
Elizabeth City: .1094 + $12.48
Town of Edenton: .1135 + $10.45
Town of Hertford: .123 + $11.59
AEMC: .1143 + $22.50
Roanoke Electric Co-op: .1169 + $25.00
Dominion NC Power: .11049 + $10.96
A major explanation on why the electric bill for many
regional residents runs high comes down to home energy
efficiency. Many residential dwellings are poorly constructed
and are more than fifty years old. The monthly bill for
Elizabeth City includes electric, water, sewer, and trash.
The combination of poor insulation in the walls, attic, and
floor allows both heat and air conditioning loss. Windows,
especially aluminum frame, allow for great loss of efficiency.
Poor management of appliances wastes energy. Prudent
use of lighting can help save energy and reduce one’s bill.
Historically, the poor neighborhoods, where homes have old
plumbing, inefficient heating systems, and air conditioning
window units that seem to strain to cool a single room, have
paid a heavy price “to keep the lights on”. Responsible
home energy management is an education and perseverance
process. Take a giant step forward.

ENERGY AUDIT ASSESSMENT.
Elizabeth City Hero Operations (ECHO) is a small
group of local military veterans and concerned
citizens that came together to form a nonprofit
organization dedicated to fostering awareness,
appreciation, and community support for wounded
veterans and their families right here in northeastern
North Carolina.
ECHO partners with other organizations and with
local businesses raising funds for events and activities
benefiting our local veterans. ECHO hosts our
own annual fishing tournaments, and we contribute
to several outdoor programs for local wounded
veterans. We also make significant contributions to
other local veteran related organizations such as
Fisher House, DAV, and the Cricket II Project.
A large part of our fundraising is our Concert for
Soldiers event held at Coasters Downtown Draught
House in Elizabeth City. Our next concert is October
6th. You’re invited to come out and join us for
free food, music from local bands, and our silent
auction. Speaking of our auction, it is a great way
to showcase your business while helping a great
cause. ECHO is requesting donation items from
local area businesses and individuals to include in
the silent auction during the concert.
Thank you for considering a contribution and for
helping us give back to those who have given us
so much.

Yaupon Holly Tea
by: Coy Domecq
What did one do for a quick local caffeine pick-me-up
back in the day prior to the ubiquitous Starbucks and
similar purveyors located on every street corner? One
option was to steep the leaves of the Yaupon Holly to
yield an invigorating brew. The Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria)
is a native plant local to the Southeast that was used
by Native Americans, and later colonists, to provide an
energy boost. The Native Americans also consumed
the tea in ceremonial rituals, prior to engaging in battle,
and during business negotiations.
is intended as medical advice. Commercial supplies of
Yaupon Holly leaves are available if you would like to
make your own version of Venti Macchiato Frappuccino
Yaupon Holly herbal chai.
We sell 2-sided mattresses!

The Catawban Native American language referred
to the plant as “little tree” and the Cherokee termed it
more specifically as “beloved tree”. It was also known
as “big medicine” because of its beneficial properties.
The colonists labelled it as the “black drink”. It once
enjoyed a popularity to rival that currently enjoyed by
present-day chocolate. The product is re-experiencing
a burgeoning popularity.
The infusion of Yaupon leaves contains more caffeine
by weight than the equivalent measure of light roast
coffee or green tea and more than any other plant
native to North America. The health benefits it brings
to the table, or cup, include Vitamins A and C, it is an
aid to digestion, and there is supporting evidence it is
a blood pressure moderator for habitual drinkers of the
tea.

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity
Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity is currently accepting
applications for a home to be built or rehabbed in
2018. Applications can be picked up at Taylor Mueller
Realty, 440, S. Hughes Blvd., or at our Sale Store, 306
Mill St.
The application asks for most of the same type of information
that any other mortgage lender would require:
income, expenses, etc. In addition, there is a question
about the need for the house.
This is a very important question because there
must be a specific reason that the individual/family is
applying for consideration. This could be high rent,
high utilities, poor or overcrowded living conditions, etc.
It must be verifiable through rent or utility checks or
home examination. This need will be verified later in the
process during a home visit from the family selection
committee.
In addition to the application, we need a copy of a
current credit report, your latest tax return and proof of
ability to pay.
We are frequently asked if a particular salary is required
for eligibility. The salary is not the only consideration.
We look at the person’s overall credit history.
By Habitat for Humanity International regulations, we
cannot charge a person more than 30% of their gross
income for the mortgage but we also must look at the
person’s overall debt to income ratio to determine their
ability to pay. Our mortgages generally run in the $500-
600/month range.
By Jane Elfring
When the packet is complete, it can be turned in at
Taylor Mueller Realty. Applications for consideration in
2018 are due by Oct. 31. We cannot consider an application
that does not include proof of income, tax return
and credit score.
The application is then screened to make sure that the
applicant meets basic qualifications. If it is determined
that the basic requirements are not met, such as ability
to pay, the applicant is notified that the application will
not be considered.
It is important to consider all sources of income when
completing your application and how reliable they will
be in the future. For examine, if you are currently receiving
child support but the child is 17, that support will
end shortly and cannot be considered when calculating
the ability to pay.

Northeast North Carolina Family History – work decisions…
So as my summer job came to an end I started thinking about a job for
the winter in a new area. How familiar are we with the jobs our ancestors
did? For many of us it is probably not too far back that we come
from farming stock. I know that my mother’s family were farmers –
about a decade ago we attended a reunion in Saskatchewan where a
100 Year Farm recognition had been awarded to family members who
still reside on my grandparents’ farm. When she finally left that farm at
the age of 25, my mom moved in with her sisters in Calgary, Alberta and
worked at a store (kind of like today’s Belk) until she married.
My father’s mother wanted him to go into the priesthood, his sister had
become a nun, but my dad was more adventurous and began articling
to become a lawyer. Not exciting enough I guess as he ended up in
Canada’s north trading for the Hudson Bay Company with the Inuit.
When he came back south, he started a lengthy career with Parks
Canada and because he still had young children to raise after he retired,
he worked for what was then the Banff Springs Hotel until he turned 80.
His father had worked as a carpenter and after he left my grandmother,
she worked pretty much as an office assistant while she raised her two
children – a tough situation in the 1910’s and 1920’s… Her father was
a contractor which is where she met her husband – one of her father’s
employees. Before that we pretty much go back to farmers and when
they first came to Canada, farmers and fur trappers!!
I do know that in the early 1900’s many of my mother’s family came
down to Rhode Island and Massachusetts to work in the mills with many
other French-Canadians. My father’s grandfather had come to Massachusetts
and started his business which is how my father came to be
born in Rhode Island. My mom said her father and my dad would talk
about areas of Providence they were both familiar with. Funny how work
takes us to places we would never have imagined living, often changing
the lives of our descendants forever.
By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com
School brought me to the United States and that choice found me marrying
someone from North Carolina. The decision for my husband to go
back into the Marine Corps took us to California where our oldest son
was born. Our return to North Carolina has provided 30 years of family
life and a setting for our youngest son’s birth. Oddly enough both sons
are living in western states and Seth, having married a Californian and
going to grad school in Phoenix will most likely raise a family there!
Our recent move to Currituck has brought my husband back to his roots
if a little further south than the Barco area he roamed around. That
decision to get closer to the Outer Banks to help cut down his commute
meant I left my job at Chick-fil-A after almost four years and took a job at
the new waterpark. I have been very fortunate in being surrounded with
wonderful people to work with in both those positions. As noted above,
the people and places we work have the potential for great impact.
Have you thought about how those situations have changed your life or
that of your ancestors? Have you shared those experiences or written
them down so others can appreciate how your decisions or those of your
family have influenced their life?
Or maybe it was a decision to attend school in a certain place, a summer
job in a vacation area or a career decision that has had a profound
impact! We have so many active duty and retired military in our area
– what a tremendous affect that decision has had on their families. As
school has started and moves had been completed, take a few moments
to consider how that has impacted your family and how recording that
information will help generations in the future understand how other’s
choices have affected their lives.
Happy fall and start thinking about pulling together family history, pictures,
etc. can make a wonderful gift at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Protect Three Key Goals With Life Insurance
Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe
September is Life Insurance Awareness Month.
And “awareness” is an appropriate designation,
because many people remain unaware of the
many ways in which life insurance can help
families meet their key financial goals. Here are
three of the biggest of these objectives, as seen
through the eyes of a hypothetical couple, Jim
and Joan:
• Pay off mortgage – Jim and Joan have a 30-
year mortgage. If one of them dies well before
that mortgage is paid off, could the other one
afford to keep making payments to remain in the
house with the children?
It might be quite difficult – many families absolutely
need two incomes to pay a mortgage,
along with all the other costs of living. At the very
least, the death of either Jim or Joan would likely
put an enormous financial strain on the surviving
spouse. But with the proceeds of a life insurance
policy, the survivor could continue making
the house payments – or possibly even pay the
mortgage off completely, depending on the size
of the policy and other financial considerations.
• Educate children – Higher education is important
to Jim and Joan, and they’d like to see
both of their young children eventually go to
college. Of course, college is expensive: For the
“Home of the Hickdog”
252-339-2493
Orangeade, Lemonade and Limeade
Movie Theater Popcorn, Bar-Be-que
2016-17 school year, the average cost (tuition,
fees, room and board) was about $20,000 for
in-state students at public universities and more
than $45,000 for private schools, according to
the college Board. And these costs are likely to
continue climbing. Jim and Joan have started
putting money away in a tax-advantaged 529
savings plan, but if something were to happen to
one of them, the surviving spouse might be hard
pressed to continue these savings at the same
level – or at any level. But the proceeds of a life
insurance death benefit could be enough to fund
some, or perhaps all, of the college costs for Jim
and Joan’s children.

a Hot Dog.
• Provide for family’s future – Jim and Joan’s
future income is their most valuable asset as
they continue working. However, an unexpected
death could leave this dual income family with
a single income that may not cover all financial
obligations and retirement contributions – or
even preserve the family’s current lifestyle. Life
insurance could help cover these needs. Plus,
the death benefit to the family may be tax-free.
Clearly, a life insurance policy could allow Jim or
Joan to continue on with life, despite, of course,
the devastating emotional loss of a partner. But
how much insurance should they own? You
might read that most people need a death benefit
of seven to 10 times their annual income. This
might be a good starting point, but everyone’s
situation is different. You should consider all factors
– including liabilities, income replacement,
final expenses and education – to get an accurate
picture of how much insurance is appropriate.
A financial professional can help you with
this calculation.
During Life Insurance Awareness Month, take
some to time review your insurance situation.
You may already have some life insurance, but
it’s a good idea to review your coverage to make
certain the amount and type of insurance is still
appropriate for your needs. As we’ve seen, the
right coverage can make a huge difference in
the lives of your loved ones. This article was

Love or Compromise
by Pastor Dan Bergey
Love or Compromise, that is the great question of the day. I know I cannot
fully answer this question in this article, but we can start the conversation.
As I look at the events surrounding us here in the United States, and in the
Church, I am amazed, and confused, at how easy it is to be convinced in
believing a lie. I am sure there are some who will say I am too harsh, yet I
read 2 Timothy 3:16-17 which says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and
profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good
work.” I write this more about what I see in the Church than anything else.
The Church is confusing these two words. We think that accepting behaviors
and patterns of life are showing God’s love, when in reality it is compromising.
We compromise for many reasons, some being Church growth,
or trying to be relevant. Sometimes we compromise, because it makes us
feel like we are doing good, or maybe it is a mask to cover up habits and
life patterns that we do not want to address in ourselves. The true love of
God has a twofold answer for us today. A way out of destructive life habits
and patterns, and the power from God’s Holy Spirit to lovingly confront
others who are caught in this lie. I am living proof that the Bible, along with
a relationship with Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit can free
me from believing in this lie. Life patterns, and habits no longer tear at my
emotions or negative patterns and habits. Want to know more about love
and not compromise? Go to www.newlifecurrituck.org and click on the life
giving word tab.

Plan a Daycation!
Whew! The dog days of August are behind us and we
can look forward to cooler weather and … DEER SEA-
SON! Every bowhunter I know has been out practicing,
checking his/her equipment, practicing, sharpening
broadheads, practicing, replacing bad arrows, practicing,
checking safety equipment and... oh yeas,,, did I mention
practicing? There is no redo on a misplaced shot. An
archer owes it to the game he hunts and the animals he
hunts to make a well placed shot! Practice is the only
way to get to there. A season may come down to only
one or two opportunities to take a shot at the quarry in
question. A good way to prepare is to go to as many
3-D shoots as possible in the early part of September.
Better yet, to have a practice target in your yard. Get in a
position to take a shot and shoot only once. Ask yourself,
“How did I do?” Did you hit in the vital area? That is
pretty much how it will be in the forest. One shot... well
placed....however, if it was a poor shot at the target, what
did you do wrong? Continue to practice... poor marksmanship
is not a good excuse.
Are you familiar with the game laws for this
year? Have you read through them to note any changes
from last year? Keep a copy of the game laws in your
vehicle. If you have a question about any of the laws
contact your local game warden or call the NCWRC for
clarification.
Many bow hunters hunt on private lands. Are
you familiar with the Landowner Protection Act?
It states: Sportsmen need written permission, dated within
the last 12 months, signed by the landowner or lessee,
to hunt, fish, or trap on lands posted with signs no more

than 200 yards apart or purple paint 100 yards apart. The
property should also be posted at entrances and corners.
You must carry written permission on your person. If a
hunting club has leased the land, hunters must have a
copy of their hunting club membership and a copy of the
landowner’s permission given to that club, Wildlife officers
will enforce the Landowner’s Protection Act (LPA).
The LPA does not change general trespass
laws nor have any effect on lands which are not posted.
It does not repeal any local acts currently in effect that
require written permission to hunt, fish, or trap.
North Carolina law encourages owners of land
to make property available for recreational use. The law
states that a landowner who allows someone, without
charge, onto their land for recreational purposes owes
them the same duty of care they would owe a trespasser.
We, as responsible hunters, need to be aware
of the game laws for our state and local counties. Be
sure we understand and are cognizant of our responsibilities
and the ordinances for the areas we hunt.
In North Carolina, we have a multitude of Game
lands available to be hunted. Take advantage of the
opportunity afforded us by these game lands!
Until the next issue, practice more, check your
equipment, know your game animals, and good luck in
the coming season.
Respectfully submitted.

Prisoners during Lincoln’s War or Also Known As the War of Northern Aggression
By Dr. Dave
Camp Douglas – Illinois – A similar disregard for human
life developed at Camp Douglas also known as the “Andersonville
of the North”. Camp Douglas originally served as a
training facility for Illinois regiments, but later converted to a
prison camp. 18,000 Confederate soldiers were incarcerated
there by the end of the war. Upon inspecting the camp,
the US Sanitary Commission reported that “the amount of
standing water of un-policed grounds of foul sinks of general
disorder of soil reeking with miasmic accretions of rotten
bones and emptying of camp kettles was enough to drive a
sanitarian mad”. The barracks were so filthy and infested that
the commission claimed “nothing but fire can cleanse them”.
But still the camp officials and or the Yankee government did
nothing at all to fix any problem. Lacking of vegetables by
the end of August, there were 793 reported cases of scurvy.
The Secretary of War in the Yankee cabinet Edwin Stanton’s
hatred of confederates’ complicated matters even more when
in October he cancelled all deliveries of beef of any kind to
the northern prisons and efforts to buy any vegetables for the
prisoners was also stopped, but the guards and camp officials
were living high on the hog. Yankee camp leadership was

mostly to blame for the death toll. Commandants purposely
cut ration sizes, quantity and quality for their own personal
profit, leading to illness, scurvy, and starvation. One person in
seven died, for a total of 4,200 deaths by 1865.
Point Lookout, MD – Originally constructed to hold political
prisoners accused of assisting the confederacy. Point Lookout
was expanded upon and used to hold captured confederate
soldiers from 1863 onward. Due to its proximity to the eastern
theater of war; the camp quickly became dramatically overcrowded.
In September 1863 confederate prisoners totaled
4,000 men. By December of that year, more than 9,000 were
imprisoned there. At its peak over 20,000 confederate soldiers
were held at Point Lookout, at any given time more than double
its intended occupancy. By the time the war of northern
aggression ended, more than 52,000 prisoners had passed
through Point Lookout, with upwards of 4,000 succumbing to
various illnesses brought on by overcrowding, bad sanitation,
exposure and soiled water.
