The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri 

The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia [diˈviːna komˈmɛːdja]) 

is a long narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and 

completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321. It is widely 

considered the preeminent work in Italian literature,and is seen as 

one of the greatest works of world literature. The poem’s imaginative 

vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view 

as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It 

helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the 

standardized Italian language.It is divided into three parts: Inferno, 

Purgatorio, and Paradiso. 

On the surface, the poem describes Dante’s travels through Hell, 

Purgatory, and Paradise or Heaven; but at a deeper level, it represents, 

allegorically, the soul’s journey towards God. At this deeper 

level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy, 

especially Thomistic philosophy and the Summa Theologica of 

Thomas Aquinas.Consequently, the Divine Comedy has been called 

“the Summa in verse”. - Wikipedia

Summer is settling in 

by Colleen Brown 

Summer is settling in, hot and busy. Beach traffic 

soars, and, even though we may have vacation time 

coming to us, with planning, packing, travel arrangements, 

bustling about to enjoy every minute of our 

precious time not working, vacation can be as exhausting 

as a work project! Have you ever wanted a break 

that was peace, relaxation, serenity and close to home? 

Well, let me make a suggestion. 

We boast that Perquimans County has four hundred 

years of history and – here’s the part I want you 

to notice – one hundred miles of coastline. And the 

coastline is just the beginning of the water wonders that 

the county offers. Perquimans is a paradise for small 

boats. (It’s not a bad place for big boats either but 

that’s a different article.) Drifting down a slow river, only 

just above the waterline, far enough from civilization 

that you don’t hear the noise, close enough that you 

can get to that marvelous French restaurant for dinner? 

That a small boat on the Perquimans River. Or any of 

the smaller waterways across the county. 

And, the Perquimans River offers unique overnight accommodations. 

No, I’m not talking about the lovely bed 

and breakfast inns of the county, I mean the camping 

platforms built along the river for those who can’t bear 

to leave the river even after the sun has gone down. 

Have you seen them? Nestled into the woods along 

the river, with steps down to the water for easy mooring 

and access, surrounded by trees, quiet and solitude? 

Glimpses of paradise. 

Seekers after tranquility, look no further. Bird watchers, 

two of the official North Caroling Birding Trails lie 

on the Perquimans River. The waterways and the surrounding 

country are full of wildlife. How about dropping 

a line over the side and seeing what’s swimming 

below you that can’t resist your bait? Boat lovers, here 

is a local opportunity to never leave the water. And, for 

anyone with a camera, every bend of the river offers 

beauty after beauty after beauty. This is a vacation 

that you can come back from, rested.

Since 1927 

Dalai Lama expressed: “What surprises me about mankind is how he 

sacrifices his health in order to make money, then sacrifices his money 

to recuperate his health.” Dr. Nina Lucas, owner of Bethesda Integrative 

Medicine in Elizabeth City understands how Integrative Health coaching 

reverses this trend. 

Why did you connect with the concept of Integrative Health? Ever 

since my residency, I wanted to work in a clinic addressing the whole 

person. Our current health care system does not provide the time and 

depth needed for this. People and medical professionals usually think 

integrative health is about herbal remedies and vitamins, but- as the name 

implies- it considers all forms of health care, traditional and alternative, to 

help patients achieve optimal health. 

What aspects of your training at Duke University surprised you? I 

was surprised by the power of the phrase, “What else?” When given time 

and space to open up, patients learn about themselves and find appropriate 

solutions to unique health issues. 

When I was growing up, I didn’t realize people could manage their 

health. It seemed you were either healthy or you weren’t. How can 

people use your approach to take out the guesswork out of healthy 

living? Much our our healing is within ourselves. The mind, body, and 

spirit are interconnected,not compartmentalized. Through this, we find 

strength to make changes to improve our health- whether through stress 

reduction, improved sleep, better nutrition,more movement, or meditation. 

What type of changes have you seen in your life by implementing 

these principles? I started daily meditation times to let my body and 

brain rest and focus on breathing. I am less stressed, more present for 

my children, and more rested. Just like with exercise, it takes daily practice 

to improve on what I’ve learned. But, I am loving it so far!

Health and Nutrition Strategies For 

Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else 

Warren Green is a 30 year member of the Institute of Food 

Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point) 

Instructor with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition Science.

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

Recently, I read a disturbing study, published by the 

New England Journal of Medicine, that asserted that 

30% of the population of the world was affected by 

weight problems, 10% are listed as obese. 

Among the 20 most-populous countries the USA has 

the highest level of obesity among children and young 

adults,at 13%. The USA also has the most obese adults 

at 79 million. Richard Wender, Chief Cancer Control 

Officer, at the American Cancer Society, said obesity 

and inactivity could account for more cancer deaths than 

smoking, if the current trends continue. 

My interpretation of the data is that diseases such as 

diabetes and hypertension, that stem from your diet, 

will be the primary factors in your quality of life. Another 

important factor that your diet impacts, is your economy/ 

your wallet. Any major disease that you get in the USA 

will probably bankrupt you. 

So, let’s review. I’ve written consistently about our toxic 

environment including lead in our water, arsenic in our 

poultry, sub-therapeutic antibiotics and rBGH in our live 

stock, carcinogenic material used to cure and preserve 

the tissue of the livestock. Anyone of the aforementioned 

toxins, permitted in the food chain, can cause medical 

problems. Any major disease you get in the in the United 

States has the potential to bankrupt you. 

Here are this months VOLUNTARY recalls that might 

be sold in our region: Maid-Rite Specialty Foods, recalls 

beef products such as “Fully Cooked Meatballs”, “ Fully 

Cooked Beef Burgers” and similar ground beef products 

adulterated with undeclared “milk”. Institutional packaging. 

Est.115. 

This is the biggie. Marathon Enterprises,Inc. recalls 

almost eight million hot dog products due to possible 

extraneous material contamination. Retail labeled as 

Sabrett Est. 8854. 

I’m involved in an advocacy group called the “Northeastern 

Food Chain Project” ( A Northeastern North 

Carolina Innovative Food Economy Collaborative ) our 

objectives are to invigorate the regional economy, create 

new markets for local farmers, create jobs through 

agribusiness, incubate small businesses/entrepreneurs, 

increase healthy eating, reduce poverty, and reduce food 

disparities/hunger. 

Finally, I believe clean, wholesome food will help to 

mitigate the severe health disparity in the Albemarle, and 

it will be measurable. The only food products that are 

recognized as clean and wholesome by the USDA and 

FDA are identified in the food chain as “Certified Organic”. 

Interestingly enough, there aren’t any Organic Soil 

Certifiers in the State of North Carolina. That might be 

a good job for Elizabeth City State University, our new 

Non-Land Grant University (NLGCA). I strongly support 

having our own testing facilities here. 

We’re on our way to becoming the “Organic Capital of 

the World”. 

Let food be your medicine.

the responsive service you deserve.

ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY: ABBA POEMEN 

The sayings attributed to Poemen form one seventh of the 

whole of the whole Alphabetical Collection [of The Sayings 

of the Desert Fathers]. It seems probable that this was the 

nucleus out of which the whole book grew. It is not certain 

that all these Sayings belong to one Poemen, since Poemen, 

‘the Shepherd’, was a common title in Egypt….He 

may be the same…Poemen who left Scetis with his seven 

brothers in 408 AD….His contacts were with those closer 

to the devastation of Scetis: John the Dwarf, Agathon, and 

Moses… it would be appropriate for such a commemoration 

of the Sayings of the great Old Men to be begun when the 

first age seemed to have passed. 

Mother Benedicta Ward, 

translator of the Alphabetical Collection. 

A brother asked Abba Poemen, “Some brothers live with me. 

Do you want me to be in charge of them?” The old man said 

to him, “No, just work first and foremost, and if they want to 

live like you, they will see to it themselves.” The brother said 

to him, “But it is they themselves, Abba, who want me to be 

in charge of them.” The old man said to him, “No; be their 

example, not their legislator.” 

Abba John who had been exiled by the Emperor Marcian 

said: “We went one day to see Abba Poemen, and we 

wanted to ask him about purity of hearts. But the old man 

did not know Greek, and no interpreter could be found. So 

seeing our embarrassment, the old man suddenly began 

to speak in Greek, saying, “The nature of water is soft and 

that of stone is hard. But if a bottle is hung above the stone, 

allowing the water to fall drop-by-drop, it wears away even

Restauranteur Doris Johnson Lives Creative Vision Offering Flavorful Food and Community Meeting Space 

Doris Johnson of Island Breeze Grill wasn’t planning to 

open a restaurant in Elizabeth City. While she enjoyed

touch of Cajun” restaurant in New York, Doris and her 

husband Shemroy were primarily looking to transition out

the hardest stone. So it is with the word of God. It is soft, 

and our heart is very hard. But the man who hears the word 

of God often, opens his heart to the fear of the Lord.” 

“Wickedness does not do away with wickedness. If someone 

does you wrong, do good to him so that by your action 

you destroy his wickedness.” 

A brother asked Abba Poemen, “How should I behave in 

the place where I live?” The old man said to him, “Have 

the mentality of an exile in the place where you live. Do not 

desire to be listened to and you will have peace.” 

He also said, “This voice cries out to a man until his last 

breath: ‘Be converted today.’ ” 

He also said, “David, when he was fighting with the lion, 

seized it by the throat and killed it immediately. If we take 

ourselves by the throat and by the belly, by the help of God, 

we shall overcome the invisible lion.” 

The hegumen of a monastery asked Abba Poemen, “How 

can I acquire the fear of God?” Abba Poemen said to him, 

“How can we acquire the fear of God when our belly is full of 

cheese and preserved foods?” 

Some old men came to see Abba Poemen and said to him, 

“When we see brothers who are dozing at the synaxis, shall 

we rouse them so that they will be watchful?” He said to 

them, “For my part, when I see a brother who is dozing, I put 

his head on my knees and let him rest.”

space while enjoyed a view of the downtown. 

“This is more of a retreat area than a meeting space,” 

Doris notes, with a smile. 

“When we give someone the keys, we tell them ‘Welcome 

Home.’” 

Abba Poemen said, “If a man accuses himself, he is protected 

on all sides.” 

He also said, “A man may seem to be silent, but if his heart 

is condemning others, he is babbling incessantly.” 

He also said, “Do not give your heart to that which does not 

satisfy your heart.” 

A brother asked Abba Poemen, “How should a man behave? 

The old man said to him, “Look a Daniel: no-one 

found anything in to complain about except for his prayers to 

the Lord his God.”

As a child, Doris’s family came to the United States from 

England seeking opportunity. Walking in the spirit of the 

First Amendment, she envisioned a restaurant “not just 

about food service, but promoting and exchanging ideas 

openly” with community gatherings and forums. 

Perhaps an organization or civic group you belong to 

is looking for flexible meeting space. In addition to its 

restaurant, the Loft Gardens area upstairs offers a comfortable,

Equipped with a kitchen, cozy living room, 3 1/2 bathrooms

Firearms and the Law 

by Joe Forbes 

It is fairly common to see messages on social media asking 

who teaches concealed carry classes, or when the “next” 

one is. Such a question implies that the questioner already 

has some familiarity with firearms, and just wants to get 

the paperwork out of the way. To often, the questioner is 

overlooking major aspects of concealed carry that a good 

instructor can address. The real question should be, “Who 

is the BEST instructor?” 

Carrying concealed does not eliminate a possible threat. 

It simply gives you another option to deal with it. Unfortunately, 

that option can have deadly consequences. You 

should not change your behavior just because you are 

carrying. If your common sense tells you not to go down a 

dark alley unarmed, why would you do so armed? If you 

pull into a gas station where a bunch of unsavory troublemakers 

are hanging out, your normal reaction would be to 

go elsewhere. That should not change just because you 

are armed. In the eyes of a jury, you may very well have 

to prove that you actively tried to avoid trouble, but it was 

forced upon you, and use of deadly force was the only way 

out. Speaking of options, you should have defensive skills 

other than pulling a trigger. A self-defense class, pepper 

spray or other non-lethal methods of defense can give you 

more options to avoid using the firearm, and options should 

you be separated from it. 

Carrying concealed involves entirely different circumstances 

than does the controlled setting of hunting or target 

shooting where the weapon is often not even loaded until 

you are in position and ready to fire. Carrying concealed 

means carrying, transporting and storing a loaded weapon 

capable of discharging and killing someone just by mishandling. 

Consideration must be given to accessibility, mode 

of transport, and security of storage. Is the weapon to be 

stored loaded? If so, what safeguards are in place to prevent 

unauthorized access by children and others? 

Carrying concealed involves knowing when to unholster 

the weapon, often in a public place, where even the 

presence of a weapon can cause a panic. The “when” is 

a product of applying the law to the particular facts of the 

situation. If you are not absolutely sure of the law, how can 

you apply it correctly, especially given the potentially deadly 

consequences of your actions? 

Carrying concealed involves being very conscious of what 

lies beyond your attacker, even more so than in a hunting 

situation, because use of the weapon may very well be in 

a densely populated setting, with lots of potential victims 

down range should you miss. And the potential line of fire 

is 360 degrees, not down a confined shooting lane. You 

must know who is nearby and where they are before you 

can take steps to avoid injuring them. Remembering to 

constantly be aware of who is around you and what they 

are doing is a good first step to painting the scene in your 

mind. 

Carrying concealed involves not just familiarity with the 

weapon but proficiency with it. Proficiency requires lots of 

training and practice. That’s the reason police and military 

train all the time. A hyper-stressful situation on the street 

where your life is being threatened is not the time or place 

to try to recall how to get the safety off, or what the sight 

picture should look like, or how to clear a jam. 

With these things in mind, you should demand a ccw 

instructor who teaches above and beyond the statutory requirements 

to get the permit. Does he offer/endorse other 

methods of self-defense, including the concept of using 

force only to the level necessary to meet the threat? Does 

he offer training/advice on carrying, transporting and storing 

the weapon? Does he make the law absolutely clear 

so that you fully understand it? Does he instruct you on 

shooting positions to minimize risk to bystanders? Does he 

offer and encourage recurrent training? If not, you should 

consider another instructor.

SELLING YOUR LIFE INSURANCE POLICY 

You probably have heard on radio and television ads that senior citizens 

can call a company called COVENTRY to sell them their permanent 

and term life insurance policies for cash. 

If you look at it on the surface, it really sounds like a good deal for 

older people who figure they do not NEED their present life policy.. 

After all, their family has grown and moved off or they are coming up 

on retirement or have retired, there is no need for this bill. Let’s say 

you have a $250,000 policy.. even though your main reason is gone, 

and if the premium is well within your ability to pay it, I would have 

you consider keeping the policy instead of selling it and here is why!!If 

you try to sell your policy you might find out that the company may not 

make you an offer IF YOU ARE IN GOOD HEALTH!!! In their thoughts 

you would live a much longer time frame before you would die ,making 

it a much longer period they have to wait to claim the policy for 

themselves.. THAT’S RIGHT..You see, they take over your policy and 

when you die, they claim all the benefits for themselves..But, as far as 

you are concerned, that is not for you to worry about, because when 

you sold it to them you might get 30 or 40 or 50% of the amount of 

insurance, and THEY get the rest upon your death..And here is the fun 

part for you and your family, that money you get from selling your policy 

is TAXABLE AS CAPITAL GAINS which could be between 15% and 

20% using 2017 tax rates.. Now you do get a break from the total you 

receive by subtracting ALL YOUR PREMIUMS YOU HAVE PAID OVER 

THE YEARS, then you pay tax on the remainder.. But, you will have 

much less then you thought you would get.. 

Also, like I was saying earlier, if you are healthy, they might not buy 

your policy or they will offer you a much lower amount.. What they 

are looking for, is someone in bad health and likely to die within a few 

years, so they can collect the money from the policy in a quicker manner, 

to keep their business going.. They can not afford to be waiting 10 

or 20 years for someone to die!! 

Now, back to the idea of you keeping the policy.. Instead of your family 

getting a small portion of the policy NOW and paying taxes on that 

amount, if it is affordable ,keep it and when something does happen 

to that member of the family , Receive the ENTIRE VALUE OF THE 

POLICY and PAY NO TAXES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, if a family is in deep money 

problems, then this would be a good thing to do to help them out, 

but I WOULD GET FINANCIAL COUNSELING FROM AN ATTORNEY 

OR AN ACCOUNTANT to explain the problems for your family.. Do not 

do this on your own!! If you younger members of a family are knowing 

that your parents or grandparents are thinking of doing this, tell them 

to get professional advice, before they make a mistake they can not 

recover from..Well, folks, that is my advice for this month.. I can be 

reached for personal advice on any insurance topic at 252 335 5983, 

or my cell 252 202 5983, or my e-mail www.insdr@roadrunner.com..... 

Thought of the month:: IF YOU ARE TRYING TO ATTAIN WISDOM, 

YOU ARE WISE.. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE ATTAINED IT, YOU ARE 

A FOOL!! Until later, HAPPY TRAILS!!!

Types of Automobile Insurance: 

It is important to understand the various types of automobile 

insurance coverages so that you can purchase the appropriate 

types and amounts of coverage needed to fully protect you and 

your family in the event of an vehicle accident. This article will 

focus on the types of automobile insurance coverages related to 

physical injuries, not property damage. 

LIABILITY COVERAGE: If you cause a wreck and injure others, 

then you owe those whom you injured compensation for their 

harms and losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, permanent 

injury, physical pain and mental suffering, scarring, etc. 

Automobile liability coverage pays that money for you. Before 

this coverage gets paid to someone else, either your insurance 

company must acknowledge that you caused the wreck, or you 

must have been determined at-fault in court. The minimum 

required liability coverage amount for most automobiles in North 

Carolina is referred to as “minimum limits”: $30,000 per person/$60,000 

per accident. However, with medical costs being 

as high as they are, the minimum $30,000 liability policy is often 

insufficient to fully protect you if you seriously injure someone 

else. In the event that you have insufficient liability coverage 

amounts to fully compensate those that you injured, then you 

would owe the remainder personally. Therefore, I recommend 

that you purchase a minimum of $100,000 per person/$300,000 

per accident. This would mean that if you cause a wreck and 

injure other(s), then you have $100,000 of coverage to pay to 

any one person and $300,000 total to pay to everyone injured a 

wreck, in the event that more than one person is injured. 

by: Danny Glover 

Practically, this money comes 

in handy if you are in a wreck 

and have to pay 1) health 

insurance co-pays or deductibles, 

2) vehicle repairs, 3) a 

new vehicle down payment, 

and/or 4) ordinary bills if 

you are out-of-work due to 

injuries. 

UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE: This 

is perhaps the most important, and usually cheapest, coverage 

that you should purchase. Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage 

protects you by paying you for your harms and losses if someone 

else caused the wreck and injured you but that person did 

not have any automobile insurance, i.e., uninsured. Underinsured 

motorist coverage applies if that other person did not 

have enough automobile insurance to fully compensate you, 

i.e., underinsured. UM/UIM coverage can be purchased up to 

$1,000,000.00, typically for just a few hundred dollars per year. 

UM/UIM coverage not only protects you, but it also protects any 

relative who was residing with you on the date of the wreck, 

regardless of what vehicle he/she was in when injured, whether 

owned by you or not, whether covered under your automobile 

policy or not, and even if he/she was injured by a vehicle while 

riding a bike or while walking. As you can see, this is very important 

coverage to protect you and your family. 

The customs and fashions of 

men change like leaves on the 

bough, some of which go and 

others come.

MEDICAL PAYMENTS COVERAGE: This is a voluntary, no-fault 

coverage that benefits you by paying money to you if you incur 

medical bills related to a wreck, regardless of who caused the 

wreck. Typically, you can purchase $1,000, $2,000, $5,000 or 

$10,000 worth of “med. pay.” coverage. Once you incur medical 

expenses and present those bills to your automobile insurance 

company, then your automobile insurance company writes you a 

check for the full amount of the original bill, or up to the amount 

of your “med. pay.” coverage limits, whichever is less.

Dear Dr. Crime 

Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for a social scientist holding 

a Ph.D. degree in sociology and in criminology. He

Dear Dr. Crime: Is it fair to say handicapped people are 

not subject to violence because others are compassionate? 

Who would be so cruel as to hurt those folks? Rev. 

Nice Guy 

Dear Rev. I have an answer you will not like. The most 

recent data is another indication of the extent of evil of 

many sorts in our world. The US Bureau of Justice Statistics 

(NCJ 250632) recently released a report on the victimization 

of those with disabilities. They report the rate of 

violent victimization against persons with disabilities was 

2.5 times higher than the rate for persons without disabilities. 

Each year from 2009 to 2015, the rate of violent 

victimization against persons with disabilities was at least 

twice the age-adjusted rate for persons without disabilities. 

One in 5 disabled violent crime victims believed they 

were targeted because of their disability. The sad rate in 

2015 was 29.5 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or 

older as opposed to 11.8 per 1,000. The rate was highest 

for those with persons with cognitive disabilities. 

Dear Dr. Crime: What kinds of people are put on probation? 

NoName 

Dear fellow: Most are white males and about half of the 

offenses are felonies. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Are drugs related to crime? HappyGal 

Dear HappyGal: I must guess why you are happy. But 

if it is drugs, they won’t always make you “happy”. The 

US Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that victims believe 

their assailants were under the influence of drugs or 

alcohol in about 36 percent of violent crime incidents. My 

advice is to stay completely away from illegal drugs. 

Dear Dr. Crime: You have talked about human trafficking 

but what is it? How can you traffic a human? Is it a 

social problem? Old Lady. 

Dear Lady: You have touched on a very old problem that 

continues today. The US Office of Homeland Security 

has very informative data you should read. Go to https:// 

www.dhs.gov/contact-us. It tells you that it is modern-day 

slavery and involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to 

obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. It is no 

small problem but touches millions of people all over the 

world, including our country. It continues because of evil 

people can make many billions of dollars of profit per year. 

Often the victims are sad people to start with so slavery 

can be horrible. It touches all groups of people and is 

so vile we should not ignore the issue, even though it is 

hidden. I will return to this issue. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Once more, what is the trend in crime in 

North Carolina? Be honest. 

Dear Nameless: In 2006 the number of Index crimes 

known to our State Bureau of Investigation was 398,613 

and in 2015 it was 307,734. That is a drop (yep, I said 

drop) of -22.8%. I guess we are not Chicago. In 2006 

the rate for index crimes was 4,654.4 and in 2015 it was 

3,173.6. If you think I am kidding, you have been watching 

tooooooo much TV and should go to the internet 

site https://www.ncdps.gov/. Rate is defined as known 

offenses per 100,000 people. While those figure look 

good, from 2014 to 2015 the rate of violent crime (which 

includes murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) 

increased 7.1 percent statewide. So do not let your 

guard down yet, we are not in Mayberry. Another statistics 

of concern is the crime rate of girls. In 1980, girls 

were 11 percent of juvenile arrests for violent offenses, 

but by 2004 it had risen to 30 percent. Even though arrest 

numbers remained higher for boys than girls during that 

period, arrest rates for girls increased while rates for boys 

decreased. What is going on????

Chowanoke History 

Strategies used to deculturalize, “civilize” 

or punish American Indians during 

the 1700 – 1800’s were to remove the 

children from their natural environment 

and place them in boarding homes or to 

have them bound out to English colonists 

as apprentices. European settlers felt it 

was necessary to target the children since 

efforts to change the cultural habits of 

the adult Natives had failed. Statements 

made in public oratorical speeches such 

as “kill the Indian in him and save the 

man” reminisced popular sentiments 

by Europeans of savagery in American 

Indians. Even as late as the 1960’s, many 

teachers in Indian boarding schools still 

felt their role was to “civilize the Native” 

and only about 10% of the teachers saw 

academic achievement as an important 

goal in the Indian schools. Their focus 

was to discipline and punish. 

Many boarding schools were located 

primarily in the western part of the United 

States and in Canada. These institutions 

were often cold and sterile environments 

where Indian children were inflicted 

with cruel and unusual punishment and 

endured harsh child labor. Years later 

as adults, many were left with emotional

On the east coast, Chowanoke youth 

were primarily bound out as apprentices 

to various local families in an effort 

to destabilize, fractionate, and undermine 

the Chowanoke tribal government. 

According to official records, several 

Chowanoke Indian youth were bound 

out to local whites during the late 1700’s. 

The Chowanoke youth with Robbins and 

Bennett surnames served as apprentices 

of various trades in these homes. Reports 

of misconduct or abuse have not been 

uncovered except one story that has 

passed on through the generations of an 

Indian youth who was bound out to the 

owner of Buckland Plantation. The Indian 

child was caught not working one day and 

as a result was beaten to the death by the 

owner. Whether this was an isolated event 

or not, the removal of Indian youth from 

their families was an attempt to condition 

the youth to a desensitization of cultural 

values. As such, it may have made it easier 

for these same individuals to rationalize 

selling the last parcels of the reservation a 

few years later.

Gun Tips 

It’s been hot, humid, and unprintable words regarding 

the weather, however, it’s not good for fire arms. Better 

check em over because of rust, corrosion and don’t 

overlook the wood parts. I have not, other than routine 

examination, done much lately either. I have used the 

desiccant pillows found in some of the meds that absorb 

humidity. Can’t hurt, give it a try. I use a dehumidifier 

in my storage thing as well as the pillows and find no 

adverse problems. I also use surplus ammo cans and all 

ammo and paper boxes seems nice and dry. 

I recall a line from a good old western movie “windage 

and elevation” that describes quite a lot about shooting. 

Reality 101, is different than the old days. Self 

protection for yourself, family and other innocent folks 

is far more than requiring knowledge of the law and the 

legal fall out that will surely occur. What is the reason for 

having a gun? Different strokes for different folks. That, 

you the gun owner must decide for yourself. I have said 

before that you will be held accountable. If you must 

defend then you must be a good witness - this is a good 

way to aid investigators and show you are not some 

radical individual and get your attorney as quickly as 

possible. And for heaven’s sake don’t say some remark 

“it was good enough for grandpa it’s good enough for me” 

Don’t laugh, I have heard it said. 

What model of hand gun do you prefer? Semi-auto or 

revolver. All do the same-discharge a bullet. Which is 

most comfortable to operate by you. Can you operate 

your gun under stress? I use the KISS which to me is— 

keep it simple shooter. No brainer. Are you situationally

aware? Most news papers have police reports and that 

may well assist in building a solid mind set for your plan. 

Now, what caliber do you like? Is it too much? Some 

shooters like to hunt with a hand gun, some with a long 

gun, however, in defense mode you are more likely to 

use a hand gun. I am inclined to think hanging a rifle or 

shot gun over your shoulder at the super market may 

well attract negative response and that isn’t all. Too 

much horsepower in a hand gun will also not be good 

since there may be an innocent injury to deal with. Bad 

thing. Evaluate, plan, think and do not forget basic common 

sense.

Easy Ways to manage Your Dog’s Body Odors 

by - Tracy Winters, pet groomer Owner of Dog Gone Chic Pet Grooming 

Pet odors in our family companion animals become 

bothersome to most owners especially when they spend 

a majority of time inside the house. In a series of brief 

articles, I will address breath odors, ear odors, and body 

odors that can be effectively dealt with in easy, cost-effective 

ways. This article will deal with breath odor. Various 

body odors will develop even when the pet is regularly 

seen by a groomer. Outside of conditions requiring veterinary 

intervention, offensive breath odors can be managed 

by brushing your dog’s (and cat’s) teeth. This ritual 

should be started at a very early age so that they become 

accustomed to it. Brushing should be done two to three 

times per week. Using tooth paste designed for dogs is 

quite important and finding a flavor that they find palatable 

will certainly do a lot to make the process easier on you 

and your pet. If brushing teeth is out of the question due 

to stress on your pet, there are over-the-counter breath 

fresheners in an assortment of flavors and types that can 

help. In addition, it is very important to provide your dog 

with a variety of chew toys or sticks especially ones specifically 

designed to address dental needs. These dental 

chews, available from your vet, are infused with enzymes 

that help to break down tarter or prevent it from developing. 

Tarter and the accompanying gum disease are the 

cause of most bad breath issues. Maintaining a regular 

regimen is key to keeping odors at bay and preventing 

disease that can and will affect not only oral health but 

your dog’s overall health too.

Summer Tomatoes 

By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com 

One of the best things about summer has got to be the long 

awaited appearance of fresh, home grown tomatoes. Here in Tyrrell 

County, the first tomatoes usually ripen around the first of July and 

the folks who grow them love the bragging rights of who had the 

first ready to eat bright red tomato. I, myself love being the recipient 

of any of my gardening friends overstock of fresh, ripe, beautiful tomatoes. 

Sometimes my grandmother couldn’t wait for them to ripen 

so she would fry green tomato slices for an early summer treat and 

they were great. But my number one craving for a fresh tomato is 

definitely a tomato and mayonnaise sandwich. How can something 

so simple be so great. To spice things up a bit I enjoy adding some 

bacon and lettuce for a great BLT as well. After a couple of weeks of 

nonstop tomato sandwiches, its time for adding tomatoes to a fresh 

garden salad or just having tomato slices as a side to a great meal. 

My grandmother used to peel tomatoes, cut them in chunks, then 

add them to a mixture of vinegar and sugar to serve as a refreshing 

side dish. She also loved to can her excess tomato harvest. She 

would put them up in jars as tomato juice, whole canned tomatoes, 

and soup mixture to be used all winter long. Fresh summer tomatoes 

bring back great memories for me as well. I remember visiting 

my grandmother in the summer time and watching her work the 

beautiful garden she had and going in her house and seeing almost 

ripe tomatoes sitting in her window sills to finish ripening. Whether 

you grow your own or buy them at the farmers market, fresh tomatoes 

are one of my favorite things about summer and I hope you 

enjoy them as much as I do.

Transforming Lives in Your Backyard by Matt Morrison 

In last month’s issue, we mentioned Virginia Supportive 

Housing’s property in Chesapeake, Heron’s Landing. 

VSH does not offer housing as an incentive to formerly 

homeless individuals after they reach arbitrary goals 

or jump through hoops; rather, we focus on getting the 

chronically homeless and medically vulnerable into stable, 

secure housing right away once they’re referred to 

us by a local housing authority. 

It was a hard-fought victory to even get Heron’s Landing 

built. At the zoning hearing for the property, the plan 

was approved by one vote. Now, however, a community 

of healing flourishes on what was once a dumping 

ground for hazardous waste. One of the first residents 

after the property opened, Mike Flynn, described the 

shame of being homeless and losing hope, followed by 

his newfound joy upon moving into Heron’s Landing on 

March 15, 2013. It’s uncanny how simple daily pleasures 

in life most of us take for granted can mean so much 

in the transformation of a once-transient person’s soul. 

The morning after Mike moved, “I had a pot of coffee in 

my own home,” he said, “and for a caffeine addict like 

me, that’s a big thing.” Many hard-working readers can 

appreciate his relief! 

Heron’s Landing incorporates modern efficiency and 

comfort into its mission to offer permanent relief for the 

homeless in the region. We don’t want to alleviate a 

lasting problem while contributing to another; therefore 

we look to compensate for some of our impact on Mother 

Nature. The building’s load on the electric grid is reduced 

by one fifth thanks to photovoltaic solar electric cells on 

the roof – there is also a solar hot water thermal system, 

and the building is EarthCraft Virginia certified. Perhaps 

most strikingly to anyone entering the building, a lush 

and beautiful community garden stands gated off in front 

of the parking lot. 

With sixty studio apartments, each features a full 

bathroom, kitchenette, bed, dresser, and closet within 

320 square feet of living space. The building has a large 

community room, kitchen, fitness room, computer room, 

and laundry facilities. Most importantly, services staff 

are available to offer employment counseling, access to 

medical care, transportation, and more. 

Although Virginia Supportive Housing is not the only 

solution to homelessness in the region, we have been pioneers 

in the housing-first model, often heralding a new 

approach to homelessness together with other nonprofits 

and governmental organizations in the community. When 

we first came to Hampton Roads in 2006 with Gosnold 

Apartments, there were 1499 homeless individuals in 

the South Hampton Roads region (and this was before 

the recession!) As of the last count, however, there are 

just 1281, representing a 15% reduction. The work still 

continues though and we could use your help more than 

ever, with Chesapeake witnessing an annual increase in 

homelessness from 95 to 107 in the most recent count. 

While we don’t take all of the region’s homeless off the 

streets, for the hundreds of residents living in our permanent 

homes, our impact is life changing. 

If you want to tour Heron’s Landing, contribute your 

time or resources to solving homelessness, or just want 

to learn more, visit www.virginiasupportivehousing.org 

or contact Ms. Arden Reed at areed@virginiasupportivehousing.org,

Should You Talk to a Lawyer? – A Reality Check for Caregivers 

More of us than ever before are providing essential 

care to a loved one. Whether an aging parent, disabled 

spouse or ailing friend, the demands are overwhelming. 

As a caregiver, it is easy to lose your perspective. What 

are realistic expectations for my loved one? 

My mom, Maria, is a recently retired attorney. 

She practiced elder law in Fort Myers, Florida, for the 

past 35 years. If anyone should be prepared to care for 

her 92-year-old mother (my grandmother) - it would be 

my mom, right? Wrong. My grandmother suffers from 

short-term memory loss. She is easily confused and disoriented. 

My mother and her siblings kept thing, “She’ll 

get better.” Unfortunately, with most memory problems 

– including Alzheimer’s and dementia – the problem only 

gets worse, not better. It is important for the family and 

the caregiver to recognize that the situation is probably 

not going to get better. 

My neighbors, both in their mid-70s, have 

recently taken Mrs. Jones, the 93-year old mother-inlaw, 

into their home. Mrs. Jones is recovering from hip 

replacement surgery. Apparently, Mrs. Jones’ Medicare 

coverage has ceased and she can no longer stay in 

rehabilitation. My neighbors believe that in the next several 

months, Mrs. Jones will recover sufficiently to move 

back home and care for herself. Is it realistic to plan for 

Mrs. Jones to go home and live independently? 

It is difficult to look at these two situations objectively 

when you are the caregiver. But the reality is – the 

situation is most likely not going to improve. So, what 

are your alternatives? 

1. Start long term care planning, not stop-gap planning. 

In my grandmother’s situation, no one wanted 

to admit that she (my grandmother) needed someone

(other than a family member) to stay with her 4-6 hours a 

day. This person would assist my grandmother with daily 

activities (shopping, cleaning, bathing, etc.) and most 

importantly be sure that my grandmother was eating. 

My mother had prepared many meals and taken them to 

my grandmother’s home. Even though the meals only 

needed to be reheated, they were always left untouched. 

Sometimes the obvious short-term solution just doesn’t 

work. 

2. Get your loved one assessed by a professional. 

Once a nurse or care manager has determined the level 

of care your loved one requires, then you may consider 

various alternatives. Whether your loved one is mobile 

or not - may be the first criterion. Financial resources 

will also influence the level of care you choose (in home 

vs. nursing home). 

3. Don’t take it personally. You are going to encounter 

resistance from your loved one. But remember, you can’t 

take it personally. You mom’s not mad at you. She’s 

frustrated because she can’t do what she used to do. 

Don’t argue or contradict your loved one. Change the 

subject, or defuse the situation with humor. 

4. Reach out for help. Contact a care manager, the 

Alzheimer’s Association or a caregiver support group. 

You are not the first person to have to deal with these 

situations and many times advice from someone who 

has gone through a comparable situation is helpful and 

reassuring.

Art-Loving Couple Makes Elizabeth City Home & Helps Others Do the Same 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 

Mike and Deborah Watts weren’t expecting to make 

Elizabeth City their home as they passed through town to 

visit their daughter at NC State. 

“For a small town, this art community is surprisingly 

large,” notes Mike. 

“We were really impressed with Arts of the Albemarle 

and the arts scene and decided to move here,” Deborah 

recalls. 

“This is a supportive place to meet other artists, and the 

city was receptive to promoting them.” 

An art teacher for 20 years in Norfolk, Deborah works 

with Arts of the Albemarle’s children’s programs. This 

month, she teaches two camps for children ages 8 and 

up: Mingei [Traditional Japanese folk art] crafts (August 

7-11th,) and 

Puppet Theatre (August 14-18th.) 

before selling it Through his experience as a contractor, 

he visited countless homes making repairs. Now, as a 

REALTOR, Mike helps homebuyers identify and develop 

a profile of their ideal home. 

Mike currently sees homebuyers coming to the Albemarle 

area from the North and Mid-Atlantic, often on tight timeframes. 

With patience and attention to detail, Mike helps 

you meet stringent deadlines and avoid common pitfalls. 

“It’s about giving you personal attention and helping you 

find a home that’s the right fit,” he says.

After meeting Deborah at Old Dominion University, Mike 

worked as a curatorial assistant at the Chrysler Museum. 

Mike comically recalls visiting Walter Chrysler face-toface 

in New York City and noticing him fall asleep in a 

chair. 

As Mike and Deborah raised their three children in Norfolk, 

Mike’s knowledge of home improvement grew. He

Art in the Albemarle Area 

By:Talmage Dunn 

Rock painting seems to be rampant in our 

area! Since our last edition I have discovered 

several groups in and around our 

area. Please allow me to give you a list of 

the groups. Perhaps you would like to join 

with one or more of these groups. They are: Elizabeth City 

Rocks, Currituck rocks, Grandy Rocks, Edenton Rocks, 

Outer Banks Rocks, North Eastern North Carolina (NENC) 

Rocks, Chesapeake Rocks, Deep Creek Rocks, Suffolk 

Rocks, norfolk Rocks, and Virginia Beach Rocks. If you find 

a rock, look on the back and post a picture of that rock on 

the group’s facebook page. Join the fun! Get involved with 

this activity. Some of the local businesses have gotten involved 

and are creating special rocks that when found have 

a prize or discount on the store’s merchandise. My rock 

paintings this month have been centered around “Shark” 

week. 

This month I wanted to start taking a look at the 

next medium on our painting list, Acrylics. Acrylic paints are 

still water soluble like watercolors only with more pigment 

and thicker in nature. Here is what you will need to get started 

with acrylic paints. (At least my recommendation) 

1) Acrylic paint (of course); small starter kits can be found at 

the local box stores. If you’ve been painting rocks you have 

your paint ready. 

2) A canvas, tablet, or paper on which to paint. 

3) At least 3 brushes, a rigger brush, a 1/4” flat brush, and 

a 1” flat brush. I also have a small fan brush, a ¼” round 

brush, and a mop( a blending brush). 

4) 2 canisters of water. ( 1 to clean your brushes and always 

1 canister of clear water). 

Let’s get started. Many artists like to work on a white canvas/paper 

while others prefer to “gray” the canvas/paper. It 

doesn’t matter. Try it both ways and see which you prefer. 

After preparing your canvas/paper choose a color paint to 

begin with. I always start with the sky. I mix a nice blue and 

white pigment together to get a bright color for clear days 

or a blue, violet/red, and white pigment for an overcast day. 

Then I proceed to paint in my sky. I cover at least ¾ of my 

canvas from the top down. I then add in my horizon (back 

ground) in more muted colors ( you may have heard these 

pigments called “cool” colors). After these have dried somewhat 

I begin painting in my main topic for the painting. After 

this I paint in the foremost features to set my main topic 

in the background. You will see this in the painting I have 

included for this article. It is a simple beach scene from the 

perspective of being in the water and viewing the beach and 

grasses. 

Your goal this week. As usual, is to put some colors 

on canvas, on paper, or on a rock! 

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 a painting 

using acrylics. 

The “dog” days of August can be enjoyable if you start doing 

some painting and beat the heat!

City. Also, check out the art classes offered in and around

Arts of the Albemarle’s LandMark Competition and Children’s 

Programs Offer Opportunities for all Ages By Laura Bush Jenkins 

(Article sponsored by Mike and Deborah Watts) 

Artists need feedback, community, and inspiration to 

enhance their abilities. This August, a juried competition 

at Arts of the Albemarle provides artists a platform 

for learning and growth as well as the opportunity to 

earn monetary prizes. 

For this year’s 31st Annual LandMark Competition, 

sponsored by Thompson & Pureza, P.A. law firm, seasoned 

artists create original works of popular area landmarks 

and submit them to the gallery by August 19th. 

Juror Anthony Ulinki, whose works have been exhibited 

at the Smithsonian Craft Fair, Philadelphia Museum 

of Art Craft Fair, and John Elder Gallery in New York,will 

evaluate the works based on professional stylistic 

criteria. 

Each child makes a puppet of her own and performs 

collaboratively in a show for family and friends. Meanwhile, 

children are building their confidence, verbal, and 

interpersonal skills to enhance their abilities in multiple 

areas of their lives. 

“This is a positive experience because children are 

excited to come and ready to learn,” mentions instructor 

Deb Watts. “They leave with smiles on their faces 

because they’ve had a good time.” 

To enroll your child or obtain an entry form for the 

LandMark Competition, contact Arts of the Albemarle at 

516 E Main Street, Elizabeth City, 252 338 6455. 

Last year’s winner, Alla Rosssow, showcased a popular 

neighborhood coffee shop scene at Muddy Waters, 

complete with a view of the Southern Hotel. 

“Quote from Darlene, Billy, or a staff member on how 

the art (which appears for sale in AoA’s gallery afterwards,) 

is a hit with the locals,” said ___ 

“Also, explain why this has been a continuous event 

for 31 years now and what keeps drawing people back.”

Nationally Recognized DAR Chapter Sees Creation 

of Hugh Williamson Monument Fulfilled 

The 51 House Celebrates 1st Anniversary of Premier 

Waterfront Dining 

by Laura Bush Jenkins (315) 225-6984 

You may cross the Chowan River Bridge and notice a 

spacious, elegant, colonial building beside the water. 

Located near Wharf Landing and Black Rock developments, 

The 51 House restaurant celebrated its first year 

in business July 22-23rd. 

Festivities included live entertainment by Bon Lozega 

Band as well as a spectacular fireworks show overlooking 

the river. 

“Our first anniversary was our best night ever and I 

thank all of our guests, suppliers, and most of all, The 

51 House team for a great year, “ says owner Rose 

Tummarello. 

Inspired by the true story of Penelope Barker and 50 

A Star Rises over the Albemarle Sound 

A new star rose above Albemarle Sound on July 1st. 

No, not the astral kind, but a 20-year old professional 

golfer with all the talent in the world. 

Chad McCann of Wilmington, NC, turned pro 

in 2016 when he was only 18 years old. After playing in 

a few minor events he headed to San Jacinto, California, 

and the Canadian PGA Tour’s Q School. His play 

was good enough to get him into the Bayview Place 

Cardtronics Open in Victoria, British Columbia. Unfortunately, 

he didn’t make the cut. 

“Bumbed out” at his poor performance, nearly 

out of funds, and with no sponsor to support him, he 

still wanted to enter the Biggs Cadillac-Buick-GMC Golf 

Classic at Albemarle Plantation, knowing at least that he 

would not have to pay for a hotel or for meals, thanks to 

AP’s volunteer hosts. But he didn’t have enough money 

for the entry fee, so he sold his prized Gibson acoustic 

guitar for $1,000. He hadn’t lost confidence in his ability 

to play golf. All he needed was a win. 

McCann shot a 67 on the first day of the Biggs 

Classic, good for second place. He followed this up with 

a 65 that put him in the lead by four shots, a lead he 

women who led the pivotal Edenton Tea Party, The 51 

House’s waterfront dining offers a retreat-like atmosphere 

to connect with your spouse and family, as well 

as enjoy a dockside meal from your boat. 

This summer, come savor homemade desserts such as 

key lime pie, chocolate crème pie and blueberry/strawberry 

cheese cake, as well as apple dumplings. Slow 

down and relax with signature themed-drinks including 

the Liz King- a raspberry, mint,lime, and rum mixtureand 

Afternoon Tea-quila blended with grapefruit, honey, 

and lime. A special cocktail known as the peach tea is 

also refreshing for the summer.

would not relinquish. His final putt on the 18th hole on 

the final day gave him a 2-shot victory and a check for 

$9,000, the biggest payday of his budding professional 

career. 

The following week Chad entered a two-day 

Coastal Players Tour event at the Carolina National Golf 

Club just north of Myrtle Beach, SC. He won this tournament, 

too. Two in a row! 

With another $2,000 in his pocket and a “can’t 

lose” attitude, McCann then drove to the Coastal Players 

Tour’s next tournament, a three-day affair at the Lonnie 

Pool Golf Course at NC State University in Raleigh. Mc- 

Cann swept the field with three consecutive rounds of 69 

to win by five shots and collected another $3,500. Three 

in a row! 

McCann is now off to Edmonton and Calgary to 

compete on the Canadian Tour. The friends he made at 

Albemarle Plantation wish him well. If he finally achieves 

his goal of playing on the PGA Tour, his new friends will 

be able to say, “We knew him when his star first rose 

above Albemarle Sound.” 

When Edenton Tea Party held its first meeting in 1948, an 

insightful remark was made planting the seed for the creation 

of a Hugh Williamson monument. A doctor, shipbuilder, 

and political Renaissance man who framed and signed 

the United States Constitution, Williamson presumably lived 

at the corner of King and Oakum Streets. 

Next month, on Constitution Day (September 17th,) the 

completion of what was envisioned 69 years ago will be celebrated 

by the community in Queen Anne Park near Hayes 

Bridge. 

Momentum for the project began after Virginia Wood and 

Beth Taylor, members of Edenton’s National Society of the 

Daughters of the American Revolution (“Edenton Tea Party”), 

returned from a convention earning a national award for 

“Best Independence Day Ceremony.” 

The ceremony and its increased following brought together 

a core group committed to work with local officials to initiate 

the monument creation. 

Judge Terrance Boyle appeared before Chowan County 

officials, leading a commission to procure state funds. 

Though the appeal was rejected initially, the team kept going 

and obtained funding through the North Carolina General 

Assembly. 

Efforts came to a standstill when the recession hit and 

funding for the Hugh Williamson monument was suddenly 

discontinued. 

“For a couple of years, we weren’t going to do anything,” 

Edenton Tea Party Regent Beth Taylor recalls, after hearing 

the news. “We were discouraged, but now we know we 

weren’t supposed to do what was originally planned.” 

After re-grouping, citizens spoke with North Carolina General 

Assembly Representative Bob Steinburg and submitted 

architectural plans drawn by Frank Parker of Edenton. Mayor 

Roland Vaughan envisioned modifications that got the 

group fired up and ready to continue with the project. 

The Sunday before last year’s esteemed July 4th ceremony, 

Beth Taylor bumped into Representative Steinburg at 

church and was surprised to hear him personally mention 

funding for the monument was re-approved. 

“After all of this waiting, I was surprised to hear this happened 

so fast,” said Taylor. 

You are invited to join the upcoming dedication on September 

17th at 2pm, where the Marine Corps Color Guard, 

Albemarle Chorus, and civic officials will honor Hugh Williamson’s 

signing of the Constitution. 

Afterwards, additional festivities include a program on 

September 21st by the Sons of the American Revolution, 

and a special event September 23rd by the Daughters of the 

American Revolution.

Summer Mold Growth Tips 

(Harry Cannon is a mold product patent holder and 

owner of Dwelling Management Solutions) 

We are experiencing a dramatic increase in interior 

mold growth right now due to prolonged periods 

of high moisture and excessive heat. If left 

untreated for even brief periods of time the growth 

can very quickly become a very serious issue and 

spread throughout the interior of a home or office. 

Here are a few things you can do to help prevent 

a potential problem: 

1. Fix the source of any water problem or leak to 

prevent mold growth. 

2. Reduce indoor humidity (to 30-60%) to decrease 

mold growth by: 

- Venting bathrooms, dryers and other 

moisture-generating sources to the outside. 

- Using air conditioners and de-humidifiers 

- Increasing ventilation 

- Using exhaust fans whenever cooking, 

dishwashing and cleaning 

By Harry Cannon Dwelling 

Management Solutions 

3. Clean and dry any damp or wet building materials 

and furnishings within 24-48 hours to prevent 

mold growth.

River City Outlaws Semi-Pro Football Gains Momentum in Mason Dixon League and Inspires Future Leaders 


Photos by Bailey Krivanec 

It’s every parent’s dream to see his or her child find his 

passion and pursue it. Fourteen year-old Robbie Midgett, 

a three-sport athlete, fuels his passion for football by 

assisting coaches and players on the River City Outlaws, 

a newly-formed semi-professional football team based in 

Elizabeth City. 

“I think about how much heart we all have,” Robbie 

says, referring to the camaraderie he feels makes the 

Outlaws distinct. “The whole team is doing something vs 

being a one-man show.” 

Midgett isn’t the only young man who’s noticed the Outlaws 

and connected with them. When the Police Athletic 

League youth football team finishes practice in Memorial 

Park, kids stand at attention, engrossed in what’s happening, 

hesitant to leave. 

“Kids look up to these young men like adults look at 

gladiators,” says head coach and founder John Young, 

Elizabeth City Deputy police chief. 

Instead of basking in celebrity status and superficial 

levels of engagement with fans, each of the nearly 60 

players personally commits to community projects like 

reading to schoolchildren and rehabbing damaged 

homes. 

Coach Young established the team with the idea of 

giving back. A native of Perquimans County, he remembered 

watching Catfish Hunter play baseball as a kid, and 

the players’ benevolence left a lasting impression. 

When his youngest son later played for the Virginia 

Crusaders, Young noticed the impact head coach Larry 

Stith’s model made and envisioned a similar framework. 

The Outlaws name puts a humorous spin on how 

many players come from law enforcement backgrounds. 

Instead of going home after a long day and keeping to 

themselves, players are out in the community serving as 

role models and interacting with those of diverse backgrounds. 

“We have guys who are blue collar workers playing with 

entrepreneurs,” noted Steve “Wolfman” Young, a retired 

Army Staff Sergeant who was recruited to play college 

football but decided to serve his country after September 

11th. 

Coach Young plans to continue scouting for “untapped 

Offense Defense Kickers 

talent” in the region. Many players were looking for a 

venue to continue football after high school or college, 

are were willing to make the sacrifices necessary to be 

an example to others. 

“[My involvement in the football team] creates a lot of 

dinner-time talk within our family,” says player Eddie 

Smith. A father of three, Smith played college football 

and was looking to get back into the sport when he and 

his wife Stacy moved to Elizabeth City. 

The team’s mission and impact are attracting crucial 

partnerships with area businesses, including Biggs Cadillac 

and Elizabeth City Pawn & Gun. 

“Biggs is a family-owned dealership that is a community 

supporter,” says General Manager Rick Durren. “As a 

semi-pro team comes to Elizabeth City, this is a great 

opportunity for young men. We support the Outlaws 

because we’re sowing seeds in the community.” 

“Elizabeth City Pawn & Gun is proud to partner with the 

River City Outlaws in their outreach to the community,” 

says Manager Evelyn Bolac. “This is where it all starts in 

terms of making a difference and stretching those hometown 

roots.”

or to view the upcoming game schedule, visit the 

River City Outlaws Facebook page or contact Captain 

Young personally at 252 722-2381.

PGF Archery Grand Opening Offers Competition and Family Fun 

By Laura Bush Jenkins 

When you visit PGF Archery’s 5 Spot Tournament Friday, 

August 11th, you’ll quickly notice a distinct environment 

built upon friendship, sportsmanship, and family 

values. 

“People come to joke with their buddies or compete 

against a co-worker, then later realize they are competing 

against themselves to be the best they can,” says 

PGF founder William “Bumper” Williams. “Anybody can 

shoot alongside a successful archer and feel capable 

and empowered versus intimidated.” 

Archery is a life-long, year-round sport enjoyed by those 

of any age,including athletes suffering from injuries and/ 

or disabilities. 

Bumper and his wife Adrianne began their bow-fitting 

and archery equipment business out of their garage 

three years ago, working in their spare time. Today, they 

celebrate the grand opening of their store on 1313 N 

Road Street with a series of fun activities on August 11th 

and 12th. 

Friday night kicks off with a tournament awarding 100% 

of the entry fees to the winner. Pre-registration is highly 

recommended. Saturday’s “swap meet”from 8-10:30 am 

connects buyers and sellers of used archery equipment, 

while providing archers an opportunity to improve their 

competitive edge and reduce common errors through 

proper bow fitting. 

In addition, Saturday’s children’s tournament from 11 

am-2pm offers snacks, prizes, and a culminating way 

for kids enrolled in PGF’s upcoming kids camp (August 

7th-11th) to showcase their talent and build confidence in 

their skill set. 

“Archery attracts a child who might not have excelled in 

other sports but finds a nice,” Bumper explains. “Many 

parents later get involved as a result of the growth 

process they see. It creates a bonding experience with 

your child you wouldn’t get sitting on the couch with your 

phone.” 

Bumper remembers Adrianne initially didn’t enjoy 

archery but willingly took their children to tournaments 

before getting involved herself. As her talent developed, 

she eventually became a certified Junior Olympic archery 

coach, equipping students 

through new games and 

3D animal replica stations 

like the one pictured here. 

“As we continue to grow, 

we are overwhelmed with 

gratitude at where we are 

from starting out in our 

garage with one bow,” 

Bumper says. “We are 

open to where God leads 

us from here.”

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures 

Many times people will ask me for a good charter recommendation for 

them, or a group of friends. When I tell them what a offshore charter 

costs these days and I realize they don’t want to invest that much money 

into a trip, I ask them have they considered go on a offshore party 

trip. Most trips will allow the angler to catch several different species 

of fish. Going out on one of these trips will not be as expensive as a 

6 person offshore charter but you will have a great day on the water 

with your family building some memories. I am going to talk about two 

different boats on which I frequently go. 

The first boat is out of Oden’s Dock in Hatteras Village and 

is the Miss Hatteras. She is captained by Captain Spurgeon Stowe a 

lifelong Hatteras native. The Miss Hatteras can carry up to 40 anglers 

and offers trips every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The 

trips are 120 dollars a person and that includes using their rods, reels, 

tackle and bait which makes it a bargain. You can bring your own 

equipment if you prefer, which I do. Captain Stowe knows the waters 

out of Hatteras like the back of his hand, and you will be fishing off of 

wrecks, which are fish havens. On your trip you will catch Triggerfish, 

Sea Bass, and an array of different members of the Snapper family. 

You will also sometimes catch Amberjack, Cobia, Sharks and Mahi. If 

you have your own speed trolling gear, you can also fast troll on the 

way out and in for Wahoo. Miss Hatteras also does live baiting King 

Mackerel trips in October and November. 

The second boat I fish on is the Country Girl out of Pirates 

Cove Marina on the Nags Head Causeway. Captain Charles Foreman 

is another great Captain that knows where the fish are and will get you 

on some productive grounds. His boat will hold up to 27 anglers for a 

day trip on the ocean. Like the Miss Hatteras, his price is 120 dollars 

per angler and he also provides rods, reels, tackle and bait. Capt. 

Foreman’s bottom fishing trips are on Tuesday through Friday. He does 

by Jake Worthington 

Offshore Trips the other days of the week fishing for Billfish, Tuna and 

Mahi. Captain Foreman fishes off of wrecks out of Oregon Inlet putting 

you on the same bottom fish you will catch on the Miss Hatteras. My favorite 

trip is the Tilefish trip. With this trip, you will go offshore 40 miles 

and deep drop 175 to 300 feet for Tilefish. Either trip is a great day, but 

the Tilefish trip is dependent upon sea conditions. 

Both boats have great experienced mates, and they will work 

hard to see you have a great day. The only thing you will need to bring 

is food and beverages. With either trip you decide to try, be prepared to 

be entertained. Both Captain Charles Foreman and Captain Stowe are 

very fun to fish with and kid friendly. Also don’t forget to tip your mates!

DR. MICHAEL PIEHLER NAMED INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE UNC COASTAL STUDIES INSTITUTE 

Read More at: 


Effective July 1, 2017, Dr. Michael Piehler assumed the 

role of Interim Executive Director of the UNC Coastal 

Studies Institute (UNC CSI). Dr. Piehler has been an 

integral part of the growth and success of UNC CSI, 

serving as the Program Head for the Estuarine Ecology 

and Human Health research program since 2004. Dr. 

Piehler is stepping into this newly appointed role on the 

heels of the retirement of Dr. Nancy White, who served 

14 years as the founding Executive Director for UNC 

CSI. 

East Carolina University (ECU) Provost and Senior 

Vice Chancellor Dr. Ron Mitchelson selected Dr. Piehler 

as the Interim Executive Director. “I could not be more 

pleased that Dr. Mike Piehler has accepted this role at 

CSI. Mike is an accomplished scholar with impressive 

leadership qualities. Dr. Piehler has been part of the 

CSI team for many years and that experience will be 

crucial in the upcoming year. I look forward to work 

with Mike as we grow key coastal programs at CSI”, 

said Dr. Michelson. The UNC Coastal Studies Institute 

is a multi-university institute housed at East Carolina 

University. 

Dr. Piehler has an impressive history in coastal and 

marine science in North Carolina. He received his PhD 

in Environmental Science and Engineering from UNC 

Chapel Hill, and since 1998 has been a member of the 

faculty at UNC Chapel Hill’s Institute of Marine Science. 

Dr. Piehler’s research occurs at the coastal land-water 

interface and is focused on quantifying the transport 

and transformation of nutrients. His research is funded 

by federal, state and regional sources and he serves on 

scientific advisory panels for governments, non-government 

organizations and industry. 

Dr. Piehler is excited about this next stage in the growth 

and development of the UNC Coastal Studies Institute. 

“I am honored to have been tapped by Provost Mitchelson 

to lead during this important period in the development 

of Coastal Studies Institute. We have remarkable 

people and facilities and I look forward to helping us 

excel”, says Dr. Piehler.

Digging for the Truth 

By Scott Dawson 

While there is no archaeological proof that Virginia 

Dare was born on Roanoke it is accepted as a fact and 

is on the welcome sign as you enter the town of Manteo. 

The only evidence for this event is John White’s 

account, which is very credible and almost certainly 

true. The same man said the colony went to Croatoan 

yet that is not accepted without more proof, funny how 

that works isn’t it? 

In the last issue, we discussed the relationships the 

English had with different tribes in our area prior to the 

arrival of the 1587 “lost” colony. The English mainly interacted 

with two tribes: the Croatoan and the Secotan. 

The Croatoan were the first people the English met in 

the New World and they always got along. We know 

Manteo was from Croatoan and that the English had 

lived on Croatoan (Hatteras) in 1584 and 1585. We also 

know that in 1587 the “lost” colony sought help from 

the Croatoan after the Secotan (mainland Dare County) 

attacked them. The Secotan and the English took turns 

killing each other throughout 1585 and the Secotan had 

killed Englishmen in 1586 and 1587. The Croatoan and 

Secotan were also enemies. This historical context is 

important to understand. When John White sees the 

word CROATOAN carved on a palisade to indicate the 

colony had relocated there it was a well-known place 

and people and did not surprise White in the least that 

they had gone there given the situation they were in and 

the relationships they had with the surrounding tribes. 

Sadly, White was unable to get to Croatoan after seeing 

the message, thanks to a storm and his loss of influence 

over the crew after the death of Captain Spicer. We 

know the oral history as recorded in 1701 (long before 

it was cool) stated the colony assimilated with the 

Croatoan. Also in 1609 Jamestown colonist John Smith 

asked about the colony and was told by Opechancanough 

(Powhatan’s brother and future Chief) that the 

colony was at a place called Ohnaconan, which means 

great turning of salt water and is simply the old name 

of Diamond Shoals in Buxton on Hatteras Island ie 

Croatoan. 

Yet no one in Jamestown really looked for the colony. 

They were too busy starving to death themselves 

and probably assumed the colony with no resupply 

had perished. Remember the Jamestown colony had 

help from Indians too and still nearly all died even with 

constant resupply. So this explains why they did not 

look too hard for the colony. Instead, they assumed they 

must have died. The colony was more abandoned than 

lost. They gave a clear indication where they went and 

no one looked. 

Well we finally looked at Croatoan, the stated destination 

of the colony and what we have found is much bigger 

than figuring out where the colony went (something 

pretty much already known) what we found was the 

lasting impact of the colony was greater than anyone 

expected. 

The Croatoan themselves changed. They stopped 

using bow and arrow and started to use guns. The 

arrowheads cease and are replaced by lead-shot. The 

architecture of the longhouses changes from saplings 

to square beams. The diet changes from mostly fish 

and turtles with some deer and birds to nearly double 

the amount of deer and birds once guns are introduced. 

Even the tobacco culture changes from ceremonial usage 

to a daily habit. The pipes change, the diet changes 

even the clothes. We have found sewing needles, 

buttons, belt buckles and brooches to go along with gun 

barrels and thousands of lead shot balls. We even found 

a 16th-century rapier handle (a fancy sword). Perhaps 

the coolest discovery is that of a 16h century writing 

slate and lead pencil proving what Lawson found to be 

true when he wrote that the tribe had ancestors who 

could “speak out of a book”. I personally love seeing 

how English artifacts are repurposed. For example, we 

have a glass arrowhead and a gun barrel that was later 

used as a tree tapper to get sap. 

While some Elizabethan material is found in a 

16th-century context much of it is found later in the early 

1600s. This makes perfect sense because these items 

being so useful and irreplaceable would not have been 

thrown away for at least a couple decades. So some 

16th-century artifacts have also been found in layers 

from the early and even mid-1600s. Because of this, 

some will argue it came from Jamestown and that the 

Jamestown guys brought over old tools and weapons 

from the 1500s and then traded them to Indians 

and they ended up in Hatteras. Yet Jamestown itself 

has less 16th century English material found in it than 

Hatteras Island and the Hatteras digs have covered less 

than a 100th of the area as the Jamestown digs. 

There will always be doubters and those who simply 

cannot accept the fate of the colony no matter how 

much evidence is shown. Take for example the patch 

found on a John White map that covers up what looks 

like a fort on the mainland. Think about that for a 

second, a John White map, John White the man who 

created it said the colony went to Croatoan. Men from 

Jamestown also visited the Chowan Indians from the 

area of the patch and were told the colony was “beyond 

the isle of Roanoke” and the Virginia Indians added 

they were at a great turning of SALT water, Ohnaconan. 

The Hatteras tribe themselves said the colony assimilated 

there and now 16th century English artifacts are 

being found there. For a normal person, this is enough 

evidence but ultimately people believe what they want. 

I have heard it said Hatteras could not support all of the 

colonists. This is nonsense and we have proven it. The 

amount of food, not just fish and deer and other animals 

but plants, farming equipment and seeds that we have found put that 

myth to bed easily. 

What is really sad is not that the colony was abandoned but that 

the Elizabeth model for settlement was abandoned. The people who 

came in the 16th century wanted to trade with the Indians and live 

with them not conquer them and take their land. Before the English 

ever came to the New World the idea was presented to Queen 

Elizabeth in a document that laid out all the reasons to go. In it, they 

talked about doing the opposite of the Spanish and making friends 

and allies of the Natives and learning their language. This is one reason 

Manteo and Wanchese were brought to England and the scientist 

Thomas Harriot was attached to the voyages to study the Natives and 

learn from them. 

What became lost was not a colony but a model of settlement and 

over time the truth became lost. We are working hard to bring that 

truth to the surface literally. Dr. Horton and his colleagues have put 

thousands of hours into researching everything we find. They have 

used an XRF machine to analyze all the copper and glass, they are 

breaking down the fish and animals by species and mapping out all 

the post holes of the longhouses we find. It is an immense amount 

of work and will all be published soon. The Croatoan Archaeological 

Society made it a goal to keep the artifacts on the island and display 

them for free to the public and we have done so. The thank you 

list would be longer than this article as so many on the island have 

helped as well as from England, Ireland, Norway California, Michigan 

and even China. 

Our digs are an international effort of professionals from a multitude 

of disciplines. It is amazing what this has grown into. When we 

began I was hoping to salvage some Croatoan artifacts before they 

were destroyed by development or by floods. It has blossomed into 

an international dig and we have very likely found the colony or what 

is left of them. If you want to be a part of making history by saving history 

go to cashatteras.com and make a donation. It goes to a worthy 

cause and is much appreciated.

The Outer Banks Veterans 

Writing Project will return to 

the Outer Banks for its 5th 

anniversary November 4 

and 5, 2017. 

The Dare County Arts 

Council is now accepting applications for the 

free, two-day writing workshop, which will 

be held at UNC Coastal Studies Institute in 

Wanchese. 

Beginner and experienced writers will 

explore the theme of Memoir writing, the art 

of writing biographical or historical accounts 

from personal experience, in this year’s 

workshop. 

Lieutenant Commander Jerri Bell, United 

States Navy Retired, from the Veterans 

Writing Project in Washington, DC will lead 

the two-day workshop for Veterans, Active 

Duty Servicemembers and members of military 

families. Bell is the Managing Editor for 

O-Dark-Thirty, the literary journal of the Veterans 

Writing Project. Her fiction has been 

published in a variety of journals and has 

been nominated for a Pushcart Prize; her 

nonfiction has been published in journals, 

newspapers and on blogs. She and former 

Marine Tracy Crow are the co-authors of It’s 

My Country Too: Women’s Military Stories 

from the American Revolution to Afghanistan, 

forthcoming from University of Nebraska 

Press/Potomac Books in 2017. 

“Writing memoir is an exercise in examining 

one’s life, or some part of it, in an effort 

to understand the meaning and impact of 

our actions and choices,” said Outer Banks 

Veterans Writing Project Instructor Jerri Bell. 

“For most veterans, the things we did and 

the choices we made during our time in the 

armed forces were critical to our personal 

and professional growth and development. 

And whether or not we served in combat, we 

were witnesses to history and have a unique 

perspective on our country. The unpublished 

SERVPRO 

Elizabeth City / Outer Banks 


and published memoirs of women veterans 

that former Marine Tracy Crow and I read 

when we were writing It’s My Country Too 

gave me a new appreciation for the importance 

of documenting stories of our military 

service, and their significance for future 

generations.” 

Dare County Arts Council encourages all 

former and current service men and women 

and members of their families in North 

Carolina, Virginia and surrounding areas to 

submit applications for the writing workshop, 

which will accommodate up to 25 participants. 

“The Outer Banks has really been leading 

the way in Veteran initiatives,” said Army 

Veteran and Dare County Arts Council 

Board Member Kelli Harmon. “Congress 

voted to increase funding to the Military 

Healing Arts Program in 2016 and North 

Carolina quickly followed with $100,000 in 

annual grants, as studies continue to show

strong support of the Arts helping to heal 

combat related injuries. We will be hosting 

the Veterans Writing Project for its fifth year 

this November, so we’re excited that more 

people are seeing the positive effects that 

programs such as this are having on our 

communities. The Arts are helping Veterans 

find their voice, and we couldn’t be more 

excited or proud to be leading the pack.” 

Modeled after the DC-based Veterans 

Writing Project, a non-profit foundation that 

teaches combat Veterans to express their 

military experiences through literature, the 

goal of the Outer Banks Veterans Writing 

Project is to teach enrolled applicants the art 

of writing. 

The Outer Banks Veterans Writing Project 

is part of the Veteran-friendly events sponsored 

by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau 

during November’s Outer Banks Veterans 

Week, which hosts numerous Veteran celebrations 

from Corolla to Hatteras and 

everywhere in between.

Writing Project, visit DareArts DOT org/

the Black Opal Masquerade Ball, which will be held on 

October 28. 

Outer Banks metal, wood, cloth, papier mâché, glass, 

paint, clay, leather, enamel and jewelry artists are invited 

to create masks that encourage viewers to explore their 

imaginations. 

“Art and identity form some of the strongest visual images 

we know,” said Art of the Mask Exhibit Curator Carol 

Willett. “This year’s annual fundraiser, the Black Opal 

Masquerade Ball, is intimately linked with our month-long 

exhibit, The Art of the Mask. Artists from all different media 

have a unique opportunity to turn their talents toward 

producing masks and mask-related art that will excite 

the community and prepare us for a splendid night at the 

Ball.” 

Artists wishing to participate in the Art of the Mask exhibit 

can find a prospectus online at DareArts DOT org/mask 

and at the DCAC Gallery in downtown Manteo. 

The Art of the Mask is open to Dare County Arts Council 

members and residents of Dare County age 18 and over. 

Entries can be dropped off Thursday, September 28 and 

Friday, September 29 between 10am and 5pm at the 

DCAC Gallery, 300 Queen Elizabeth Ave. Manteo, NC. 

An opening reception for the mask exhibit will be held at 

Dare County Arts Council on First Friday, October 6 from 

6-8pm. 

Everyone is encouraged to visit this special exhibit to find 

the perfect mask for Black Opal. The event will celebrate 

the spirit of creativity and imagination. Tickets to Black 

Opal can be purchased online at DareArts.org/blackopal 

and at Dare County Arts Council in Manteo. 

“Every year, our big fundraiser enables us to make nearly 

all of our arts programming free and open to the public,” 

said Dare County Arts Council Executive Director Chris 

Sawin. “The mask exhibit is meant to be a preview of this 

year’s Black Opal event, which promises to be a ton of 

fun! Costumes and masks are optional at Black Opal, but 

highly encouraged.” 

The Art of the Mask exhibit will remain on display at the 

DCAC Gallery through Tuesday, October 31. Gallery 

hours are Monday through Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday

Summer On A Plate 

Wave 


By Rosie Hawthorne 

My Daddy had a big farm and a huge garden and we were never without 

fresh produce during the summer. Mama Hawthorne either canned 

or froze copious amounts of vegetables. Her prepared casseroles were 

freezer-wrapped and dated and stacked in one of those chest freezers – the 

kind you could stuff a body in. That freezer always held at least a dozen of 

Mama’s squash casseroles. 

Every summer, I anticipate my harvest of squash, so I can make Mama’s 

casserole. To me, it’s comfort food. 


Read More at: 


Squash Casserole 

4 cups diced squash and/or zucchini 

1 small onion, chopped 

½ cup chopped green pepper (The addition of green 

pepper is mine. I’d just picked it from my garden and 

it seemed right.) 

1 TB unsalted butter 

1 TB oil 

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 

4 eggs 

½ cup skim milk 

½ cup cream 

1 ½ cups grated cheddar cheese 

About a sleeve of Ritz crackers, crumbled by hand 

For more recipes, tours of my garden, and 

the occasional travelogue, please visit with 

Rosie at KitchensAreMonkeyBusiness.com. 

For any culinary questions, e-me at 

Rosie Hawthorne@gmail.com. 

Heat butter and oil in a large skillet. Add squash, onion, 

and pepper and cook over medium heat, tossing 

or stirring, for about 3 minutes. Season with salt and 

pepper. 

Beat eggs with milk and cream. Add in ¼ tsp each of 

salt and pepper. Stir in squash mixture and 1 cup of 

the cheese. Pour into buttered 9 x 13” baking dish. 

Top with remaining ½ cup cheddar and crumbled Ritz. 

Bake in a 350° oven for 45 minutes, or until custard 

mixture is set and top is golden brown. Let sit for 

about 10 minutes before slicing. 

Enjoy summer on a plate! And think of those summer 

days from long ago. Remember those times.

FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM - NATIVE AMERICAN WORLD VIEW 

Read More at: 


A New exhibit at the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center invites visitors to consider 

how artifacts on display may show differing world views among Native American groups 

There are 566 federally recognized and 62 state recognized Native 

American tribes, bands, nations, pueblos, communities and villages 

in the United States. Two hundred twenty nine of the federally recognized 

groups are located in Alaska; the rest are scattered across 

33 other states. Although there is no definitive single world view for 

Native Americans, there are some generalities regarding philosophy/ 

spirituality and the way Natives interact with the earth. Those views 

include a profound respect for the sacred, a belief that the sacred 

includes the earth and all who inhabit it, and the concept that there 

are many truths and that each truth must be respected and accepted 

as valid. 

The exhibit includes a hand-crafted lacrosse stick donated to 

the museum many years ago. It is mounted beside a beautiful picture 

showing the silhouettesof three natives engaged in the game. 

Visitors may be surprised to learn that the lacrosse stick possibly 

represents a different view of the game from their own experience. 

For example, the Iroquois view lacrosse as the Creator’s Game, a 

medicine game for healing the people. Each session is a powerful 

reminder that ALL creatures are important in the cycle of life. It is 

used to bring people together, settle disputes, and at times even 

avoid going to war. 

Visitors are encouraged to consider other possible world views 

as they explore the amazing artifacts on display in the museum 

representing a variety of nations. 

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and is located 

on Hatteras Island. For more information, visit the web site at 

www.nativeamericanmuseum.org or call 252-995-4440.

Waterfront Art Show Returns To Manteo for 36th Year 


Read More at: 


Over 75 world-class artists will travel to the Manteo waterfront 

August 16-17 for the 36th Annual New World Festival 

of the Arts. 

From 10am-5pm on both days guests can peruse fine art, 

including painting, photography, printmaking, ceramics, 

sculpture, jewelry, wood design, leather works, and more. 

“Tim and I look forward each year to participating in the New 

World Festival of the Arts,” said pottery artist Janet Gaddy. 

“Chris Sawin and the crew at Dare County Arts Council do 

an outstanding job of gathering a phenomenal group of 

artists to create an amazing show.” 

Presented by PNC Bank for the third consecutive year, 

the free, outdoor festival has been a Manteo tradition for 

decades, providing awareness of current trends in the visual 

arts while acquainting visitors with the historic Town of 

Manteo. 

“I am so glad to be participating in the 2017 New World 

Festival of the Arts,” said jewelry artist Cammie Hall. “For 

the last six years I have been privileged enough to come 

along with other artists from College of the Albemarle. It is 

a great venue and I am excited to be juried on my own this 

year!” 

Mixed media artist Lisa Beth Robinson will judge the show. 

Robinson makes artist books (letterpress, papermaking, 

printmaking) broadsides, fine art, curates exhibitions, and is 

an assistant professor at East Carolina University in Greenville, 

NC. 

This year’s Best in Show award recipient will receive a 

cash prize of $1,000. Second and third place will also receive 

cash prizes, and merit awards will be given as well. 

On the first day of the show (Wednesday, August 16), Dare 

County Arts Council will host an artist reception at 5pm at 

their Gallery in downtown Manteo. Guests attending the 

reception will also be able to view the “Ocean & Earth” 

Painting Exhibit by 2016 New World Festival of the Arts 

Best in Show 2D award recipient, Virginia Beach, VA based 

acrylic painter Ed Obermeyer. 

“I was completely overwhelmed with being chosen as Best 

in Show 2D last year considering the talent on display during 

the show,” said artist Ed Obermeyer. “I love doing this show 

Create a Tropical paradise in your own backyard! 

just so I can be in the charming atmosphere of Manteo. I am 

looking forward to this year!” 

The New World Festival of the Arts brings an average of 

5,000-6,000 attendees to the historic Town of Manteo each 

year. The festival is presented by PNC Bank. Thank you to 

corporate sponsor SAGA Construction & Development and 

event partner The Town of Manteo for supporting the show. 

This project was supported by the North Carolina Arts 

Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural 

Resources.

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity is accepting applications 

from persons interested in applying to purchase a 

home to be constructed in 2018 until October 31. 

“It is important for those who wish to apply to realize that 

these houses are not given away,” ECHFH President 

Jane Elfring explained. “There are qualifications for 

these no-interest mortgages just as there would be for 

conventional mortgages.” 

A family of four must have a gross income under 

$45,600. In addition, the monthly payment must be no 

more than 30% of their gross income. Applicants must 

expect to pay $600 each month for their mortgage payment, 

taxes and insurance. 

In addition to meeting income requirements, applicants 

must live in Pasquotank County, have a need 

for this house (such as high rent or utility bills, unsafe 

or unhealthy conditions) and must be willing to partner 

with ECHFH by contributing 500 hours of “sweat 

equity.” Those hours can be earned by a number of 

means, including attending new homeowner meetings 

to learn how to budget, working in the local Sale Store, 

and working on the construction of the house as well as 

other houses that will be built in the area. 

Sweat equity has always been an important component 

of the Habitat model, Elfring said. From the time the first 

houses were constructed in Georgia, Habitat officials 

$379,500 

806 Broomfield Trail 

By Jane Elfring 

required families to contribute to their construction. 

Working on their homes and those of others give homeowners 

a sense of ownership and build community. 

Habitat houses traditionally have 1100-1200 sq. ft. They 

are simple houses built to get families into a decent 

house. ECHFH partners with the City of Elizabeth City to 

make the house as energy efficient as possible. 

Applications may be picked up at Taylor Mueller Realty, 

440 S. Hughes Blvd. or at the ECHFH Sale Store, 306 

Mill St. In addition to the application, applicants must 

also submit proof of income such as pay stubs, a credit 

report and proof of employment. 

For further information, contact Jane Elfring, 252-384-

Northeast North Carolina Family History - Moving 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

Moving season is indeed upon us and after 

trying to move 35 years accumulation in a 

couple of days we have decided we need to 

seriously de-clutter!! I can’t begin to compare 

with those hardy military folk who do 

this every few years, but I have moved a few 

times with varying success… 

Just before I started fifth grade, my father 

retired and we moved to British Columbia 

– for about two weeks! My parents had 

decided to buy a house with a view of a lake 

and we had enrolled in school. The first day 

was a very unhappy one for me and apparently 

for my siblings too. A few days later 

we moved back to the national park and life 

continued as we had known it. It must have 

been hard for my parents to return to the 

cold and snow after planning a retirement in 

a much milder climate, but I don’t remember 

them complaining about it. 

I moved from that small community to the 

much larger city to attend college. I didn’t 

have a lot to move – it all fit in my dad’s 

sedan and my small car. Even when I came 

to the States to go to university, everything I 

owned fit into my car. The drive was LONG. 

I would start at 4 a.m. and with a few stops 

to refuel and eat, I’d get to my destination 

around midnight. One winter, driving back to 

school, a snowstorm of epic proportions hit. 

I-15 was closed and we had the bright idea 

to travel secondary roads through the mountains. 

Hair-raising would be an accurate description 

as we passed semi-trailers flipped 

on their sides on the shoulder. Thankfully 

we survived. 

After my husband and I married we moved 

to California where he served in the Marine 

Corps. The bases he worked on no longer 

exist, but our oldest son was born there. 

Although he was accepted to officer’s candidate 

school, we decided to return to school 

instead and finish our degrees. We did not 

realize we had accumulated as much as we 

had in four years as we ended up pulling a 

trailer behind our U-Haul to get everything to 

our destination. 

Graduating in December we made the 

move to North Carolina after selling some 

of the larger pieces of furniture we had 

purchased. This time everything fit in the 

U-Haul and we pulled our car behind us on a 

tow dolly. Unfortunately it was not attached 

properly and not long after we began we 

were concerned about how closely a car 

was following us until we realized it was our 

car swinging out to the side behind us! That 

problem was resolved and we headed into 

the mountains. As we climbed towards Denver, 

a snowstorm hit and our trusty moving 

vehicle chugged down to a five mile an hour 

crawl. I distinctly remember thinking we 

might start sliding backwards and go off a 

cliff after taking out a few of the vehicles behind 

us. Terrified might be a good description, 

but just as I thought we wouldn’t make 

it, we pulled into a parking area at the top 

of the pass and let our poor moving van’s 

engine cool down. 

We descended into Denver and found the 

first motel we could stay at and tried to calm 

our nerves. We turned on the news to hear 

that the storm had become so bad that the 

pass we had just gone through had been 

closed. We were very thankful for the safe 

passage we had, scary though it had been. 

An additional blessing had been that our 

young son had fallen asleep and missed 

the entire episode! I don’t remember any 

additional terrors from that trip so I guess 

the remainder of our travel to North Carolina 

was uneventful. 

Three years ago we moved from our home 

of over 25 years on the north side of the 

city to a subdivision near the Coast Guard 

base. But we did that move over a number 

of weeks with just one day of major furniture 

moving. When we put this home on the 

market we expected to wait three or four 

months for a sale but were surprised when 

it sold in two and a half weeks! We were 

closing on a house in Currituck in early July 

and the buyers were gracious enough to 

wait until near the end of July to close. 

But paperwork issues with the bank meant 

we would not be able to move into that 

house in time. Instead, we stuffed everything 

we owned into two storage units the 

last week of July. It was exhausting and 

we have determined that we have WAY 

TOO MUCH stuff! So what are your moving 

memories? Share them good or bad and 

just maybe you will do someone a HUGE favor!! 

Or at least a few laughs when enough 

years have passed…

Stay Calm on the Investment “Roller Coaster” 

Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe 

Unless you live near an amusement park that 

does a lot of advertising, you probably didn’t 

know that Aug. 16 is National Roller Coaster 

Day. Actual roller coasters provide people with 

thrills. But as an investor, how can you stay calm 

on the “roller coaster” of the financial markets? 

Here are some suggestions: 

• Know what’s in front of you. If you’ve ever 

ridden a roller coaster in the dark, you may find 

it scarier than if you boarded it in daylight – after 

all, it can be unsettling not to know where you’re 

going. The same can be said about investing: 

If you have no idea what’s in front of you, you 

might find the journey unnerving – and if that 

happens, you could make panicky decisions, 

which are usually bad ones. So prepare for the 

inevitable market volatility – it’s a normal part of 

the investment landscape. 

• Buckle up. When you’re on a roller coaster, 

you need to buckle your seat belt or use a 

restraint. You want to have the excitement of 

the ride, but you certainly don’t want to take unnecessary 

risks. And you can enjoy some of the 

excitement of investing without incurring more

risk than you are comfortable with, too. One way 

to lower your risk level is to diversify across a 

range of investments – stocks, bonds, government 

securities, and so on. That way, if a market 

downturn primarily affects just one type of investment, 

you’ll have some protection. However, 

although diversification can reduce the impact of 

volatility on your portfolio, it can’t protect against 

all losses or guarantee a profit. 

• Choose a strategy for the journey. Different 

people have different ways of handling a roller 

coaster ride. Some like to throw their hands up, 

enjoying the feeling of abandon, while others 

hold on tightly to the bar in front of them. When 

you invest, you also need a strategy that works 

for you, and the best one may be the simplest: 

Buy quality investments and hold them for the 

long term. How long is “long term”? It could 

be 10, 20, 30 years or more. Famed investor 

Warren Buffet says his favorite holding period 

is “forever.” If you’ve chosen a mix of quality 

investments appropriate for your risk tolerance, 

you may be able to hold them until either your 

goals change or the investments themselves 

undergo some transformation.

• Stay for the whole “ride.” When you hop on 

a roller coaster, you’ve got no choice – you’re 

staying until the ride is over. As an investor, 

though, you can exit the investment world whenever 

you like. But if you take a “time out” from 

investing every time the market drops, you risk 

still being out of the market when it rallies – and 

the early stages of a rally are often when the 

biggest gains occur. Furthermore, if you keep investing 

during a “down” market, you’ll be buying 

shares when their price has dropped, which 

means your dollars can go further – and you’ll 

be following one of the basic rules of investing: 

“Buy low.” 

You can’t take out all the twists and turns of the 

investment road, but by following the above 

suggestions, you can help make the ride less 

stressful – and possibly more rewarding.

New Exhibit Coming to MOA 

By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle 

wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov 

Northeastern North Carolina has had its share of bad weather and not just in recent 

years. Peter Carteret, who becomes the governor of the North Carolina colony in 

1670, described a hurricane on August 27 1667 that damaged the now Colington 

Island in Currituck County, “August ye 27th heere happened a great storme or 

reather haricane that destroyed both corne & tob: blew downe the roof of the great 

hogg howse that I had built the yeare before caried away the frame & boards of two 

howses…” Carteret describes a second hurricane in 1669 as “a violent haricane 

as bad as the former Only did nott last soe Long destroyed what tob was out broke 

& spoiled most of the corne this yeare.” Unfortunately, he also writes of a third 

hurricane in 1670. “wee had a violent haricane that Lasted 24 howers broke downe 

timber trees blew downe howses destroyed both corne & tob.” 

James A. McPherson of Camden County writes an eye witness account to the 

September 10, 1888 cyclone that tore through South Mills. “1888 court week thar 

was a cyclone that come throwe heare betwixt ten and eleven o’clock in the day 

and toore down the house of Abnor Gregory then came on to the Eason farm and 

took off the roof of Wile Sawyer’s house then came on to the David McCoy house 

and tore it in pieces…and then came to Frank Pearce and took off the roof of his 

house…” We can only hope that the weather for these upcoming months stays 

calm. Visit the Museum of the Albemarle this summer to learn more about the history 

of this region.

Do you think about the needs of others in your community 

on a regular basis? Or do you just think about them when a 

disaster happens? This time of year we start to focus in on 

the storms that develop in the ocean and will they affect us 

or not. When they do, the community always seems to come 

together to make sure that everyone is taken care of. This is 

always a wonderful thing to witness because it seems like a 

crisis is always a way for people to put aside their differences 

and come together for a common cause. So why aren’t we 

doing this the rest of the time? If we all became community 

minded year round, imagine what could be accomplished. 

Isn’t this what we as Christians should be doing? We should 

always be thinking of others and finding ways to meet their 

needs. 2 Corinthians 8:10-12 tells us “And here is my advice 

about what is best for you in this matter: Last year you were 

the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so.

with different organizations that are already in the community 

providing assistance, volunteer at the schools, take meals to 

the fire fighters and EMS workers. There is so much that we

In just a few short weeks another deer season will be upon 

us!Are you equipped and prepared to start the season? Have you 

been out scouting? Have you prepared your stands and blinds? 

Are you familiar with your hunting areas? These are just the preliminary 

questions you should be asking yourself now! 

Note the food sources that will be available to the game 

during the season. Note the bedding areas. Are you hunting in a 

pass through area or do you have definite food plots over which 

to hunt. What are the primary food sources, the secondary food 

sources, and the tertiary food sources. These factors can make 

or break your successful hunts. These are the clues to a successful 

season. 

A trail-camera is the next best thing to being out in the 

field. It will show you the animals traveling through the property 

you are hunting. These cameras are getting less and less expensive 

to buy and can broadcast directly to your home computer, 

laptop, or cellular device. However, remember to descent the 

camera and the area in which it is placed. There is nothing worse 

than doing all the preparation only to push the game away from 

your hunting area. 

Our State of North Carolina has many gameland areas 

that are available to be hunted. Some have archery only hunting 

areas. The North Carolina Bowhunter’s Association has its own 

little piece of heaven for members to camp and hunt. The property 

was purchased in 2005 for the use of the NCBA membership. 

The land was established around the Butner Gameland area for 

our members since it is centrally located for the state membership. 

It had taken 11 years but land was purchased an acquired. 

The property is located at 3103 Old NC 75. It is approximately 

12.5 acres in size. If you are a member come out and enjoy the 

property. If you are a prospective member come out and look 

over the property and the surrounding area. There are many 

more gameland areas all around the state where one can go to 

hunt. 

When you become a member of the NCBA permission 

to hunt cards are issued with the membership packet. Use these 

cards when you gain permission to hunt on private land areas. 

Keep them with your hunting license and within easy reach. If a 

game warden asks to see your credentials then there will be no 

problem and your hunt can continue. 

If the deer on your properties are not being chased 

regularly by dogs or hunted by too many people then the deer 

patterns will not alter as much in the fall from their summer habits. 

Check with the landowners that are out in the fields nearby 

to see if they can give you information on the deer patterns they 

observe. 

When getting prepared for the upcoming season, check 

your equipment, practice shooting from your stands or blind, 

practice in your hunting clothes, but above all else, have fun! 

Respectfully submitted.

“What He is I know not; 

what He is not I know.” 


Prisoners during Lincoln’s War or Also Known As the War of Northern Aggression 

By Dr. Dave 

Elmira was described as the most dreadful with horrifying conditions 

found; a quote in a diary was: “In a semi-state of nudity, 

laboring under such diseases as chronic diarrhea, scurvy, frost bite, 

general debility, caused by starvation, neglect and exposure, many 

of them had partially lost their sense of reason, forgetting even the 

date of their capture and everything connected with their antecedent 

history.” They resemble, in many respects, patients laboring under 

cretinism. They were filthy in the extreme, covered in vermin. Nearly 

all were extremely emaciated; so that they had to be cared for like 

infants. When Fort Fisher in NC was captured by the Yankees after 

3 attempts it fell on January 1965 1,121 confederates were sent to 

Elmira. Out of these 1,121 men 518 or 48% would die there within 5 

months time. The major causes of death were diarrhea, pneumonia 

and scurvy. Out of 518 men who died 372 were from North Carolina. 

Of these men from the Fort Fisher capture 5 of them died quite 

quickly after arriving at Elmira from gangrene of the feet caused by 

frostbite. Sergeant Berry Benson from Hamburg, South Carolina 

was born in 1843 and was part of the 1st South Carolina Infantry. 

Sergeant Benson was captured on May 16, 1864 at Spotsylvania, 

Virginia while working as a scout for the Amy of the Southern Confederacy. 

Benson, after capture was sent to Point Lookout Prison 

in Maryland and escaped by swimming away and was recaptured 

and sent to Elmira prison, while he was there he joined up with 8 

other prisoners and dug a tunnel out to freedom. Sergeant Benson 

walked back to the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia and was sent to 

Petersburg, Virginia in early 1865. Benson and his brother were at 

Appamatax, Virginia, but did not surrender so he was able to keep 

his Enfield rifle. There is a monument in Augusta, GA Including 

Sergeant Benson.

Electric cars - Will one be in your future? 

by Patricia Laddich - Tech gurl for the 20 something professional 

The automotive industry has evolved 

tremendously over the past two decades. 

There is a major shift towards green technologies 

and increased fuel economy, compelled 

by policies and consumer demand. It 

is not surprising that car manufacturers are 

investing significant amounts of money in 

developing new electric vehicles (EVs) and 

car batteries as they endeavor to meet stringent 

carbon emission regulations and the 

demands of global customers. Even though 

most of the models on the road are simply 

electric versions of fuel-powered cars, in 

the not-too-distant future, you can expect to 

see new designs and models on the roads. 

Let us give you a preview of what you can 

expect to see in showrooms and on the road 

when you’re out driving in the next few years 

What are Electric Vehicles (EVs)? 

Electric Vehicles are automobiles powered 

by one or more electric motors, using electrical 

energy stored in rechargeable batteries 

or any other device that stores energy. In 

contrast to conventional vehicles, electric 

vehicles are not powered by diesel or petrol, 

but they are propelled by electricity sourced 

from mains to recharge the battery. A major 

advantage of the electric vehicle is the ease 

and ability to charge vehicles, both on the 

road and at home with the aid of dedicated 

home charge points. 

Electric vehicles come in three forms 

1. Plug-in hybrids, 

2. Battery electric (BEV), 

3. Fuel-cell electric (FCEV). 

The Future of Electric Cars 

There are several factors suggesting that 

the sales of electric cars will increase in the 

next few years. Let us have an in-depth look 

at some of these factors; 

Charging Stations 

As a result of significant investment over the 

last few years, Ireland has one of the most 

extensive charge point networks in Europe 

with an estimated 1,200 charging units 

spread around the island of Ireland. Ontario 

is working hard to build a comprehensive 

charging network. Currently, there are 274 

Level 2 charging stations and 211 Level 3s 

in the province with others in work. (Level 2 

chargers use 240 volts, while Level 3s uses 

480 volts and can bring an EV to 80 per cent 

charge in 30 minutes). Edison in Southern 

California is also making plans to deploy 

1,500 charging stations to start with and 

another 28,500 in the future. Furthermore, 

some companies like Google, Walgreens 

and Coca-Cola have begun installing 

charging stations. Other Automobile companies 

such as BMW and VW are also teaming 

up to build more than 100 charging stations. 

Longer-Range Models 

One major constraint of electric cars is their 

short range of travel. However, there are 

now many models that offer at least 100 

miles of range and are widely available to 

consumers. There’s the Tesla Model X and 

Model S which costs about $70,000. Chevrolet 

Volt, a plug-in hybrid of GM, is already 

in the showroom with a 50-mile range. Another 

model AGM’s Chevrolet Bolt is scheduled 

to arrive in 2018 with a 200-miles-percharge 

range. VW has also announced its 

intention to design a 186-mile, high-volume 

electric car followed by the next generation 

longer range Nissan LEAF. 

Battery costs are Plummeting 

Battery prices are dropping faster than many 

experts would have projected. And there’s 

great indication that the price will continue to 

plummet. Bloomberg New Energy Finance 

Projects projected that battery prices are on 

course to make EVs as affordable as their 

gasoline equivalents. Automobile industries 

like Tesla and GM are making substantial investment 

in mainstream EV models because 

they presume battery prices will continue 

to fall and this will be the beginning of an 

increased market sale for electric cars. 

Car makers are embracing EVs 

Automakers are investing billions of dollars 

in bringing more EV models to market. The 

number of EV models is expected to double, 

with 16 new models in 2017. In 2016, about 

11,000 EVs were sold in Canada, and this 

figure represents an estimated 56 percent 

increase from 2015. Almost 30,000 electric 

vehicles are on Canadian roads and sales 

are projected to take off as plug-in hybrids, 

and fully electric enter the market. Automobile 

giant Ford is also investing $4.5 billion 

in electric cars and is expected to add 13 

electric cars and hybrids by 2020. Takahiro 

Hachigo Honda’s Chief Executive lately announced 

that two-thirds of its automobiles by 

2020 would be electrified, including plug-in 

hybrids, conventional hybrids, and fuel cell 

vehicles. 

The global decision to cut carbon pollution 

and oil dependency 

Motor vehicle accounts for about 17 percent 

of the global C02 emissions and therefore 

electric Vehicles have gained more prominence 

due to a global need to reduce carbon 

pollution and oil dependency that fuel 

dangerous climate change. A research study 

by the Electric Power Research Institute and 

NRDC revealed that widespread use of EVs 

could reduce carbon pollution by 550 million 

MT yearly in 2050, corresponding to the 

emissions from 100 million passenger cars. 

The Bottom Line 

At the moment fully electric vehicles are still 

a minority of cars on the road; however, their 

number is rapidly 

increasing as they 

become more affordable 

and more 

practical. EVs 

advantages are 

apparent: they use 

less energy and 

their C02 emissions 

are lesser 

than internal combustion 

engines. 

And in few years, 

their benefits to 

private drivers 

will become more 

pronounced as 

they become a 

mainstream status symbol. Since modern 

electric vehicles first went on sale in large 

numbers in the past six years, the field has 

grown significantly. The adoption rate of the 

technology has increased dramatically and 

will continue to accelerate as the battery 

price plummets, charging infrastructure 

improves, and manufacturing advance to 

deliver more affordable electric vehicles 

with longer driving ranges. EVs are in the 

showrooms and on the roads already and 

the massive amounts of global investment 

indicate that progress is almost certain and 

that technology will continue to meet the 

needs of consumers.

Elizabeth City Cosmopolitan Club 

The Elizabeth City Cosmopolitan Club is a Chapter of 

Cosmopolitan International. 

Cosmopolitan was established in 1918 for the principal 

purpose of bettering our communities by providing service 

and support to worthwhile projects. As with many of the 

service clubs in existence then and today, Cosmopolitan 

clubs and members saw needs in their respective communities 

and sought to fulfill those needs. That same practice 

is central to the Cosmopolitan role today in our commitment 

to our communities, our clubs and the fight against 

diabetes. 

Cosmopolitans have been involved in a variety of local 

projects in the communities we serve. But our true legacy 

is in the area of our fight against diabetes. The membership 

took on diabetes as our International Project in 1977. 

Since that time, Cosmopolitan has established itself as a 

leader in the fight with internationally renowned centers 

working to identify, treat and research this horrible disease. 

The Elizabeth City Club has been active in this community 

for over 60 years. 

All of our proceeds go to the needs of those with Diabetes, 

particularly research for the cure. In addition, our club 

has been helping the Albemarle area through our medical 

Loan Fleet Program. We provide all kinds of equipment, 

wheelchairs, shower chairs, bedside commodes, walkers, 

canes, crutches, etc. to anyone who needs them. 

We are unique because there is no red tape or paperwork 

nor proof of need required, simply ask and we shall provide. 

All of our equipment has been generously donated 

by the local community over the years. 

Our only source of income is our Monday night Bingo, 

held at our facility. Which the proceeds go to the upkeep 

and maintenance of the building. 

We are always looking 

for new members

Opening Reception & History Talk for the opening of the 

“Nags Head Portrait” Exhibit 

Thursday, August 10th, 2017 

from 6:00 – 7:00 pm 

Elizabeth City, NC: The Museum of the Albemarle 

invites you to join us for a reception and history talk 

for the opening of the “Nags Head Portrait” exhibit on 

Thursday, August 10, 2017. Light refreshments will be 

served from 6-7 pm, followed by a talk by local historian, 

Marjorie Berry at 7 pm. The “Nags Head Portrait” 

is an oil portrait possibly of Theodosia Burr Alston, wife 

of South Carolina governor Joseph Alston and daughter 

of Vice President Aaron Burr. Theodosia boarded 

the schooner Patriot on December 30, 1812, in South 

Carolina en route to New York. The ship reportedly 

was destroyed off the coast of North Carolina during a 

storm, with all passengers lost at sea. However, other 

legends state that the ship was attacked by pirates, who 

then plundered its goods, including this portrait, and all 

aboard were kidnapped and murdered. 

In 1869 Elizabeth City resident Dr. William G. Poole 

received the portrait as payment for medical services 

he rendered on the Outer Banks. According to folklore, 

the patient’s sweetheart was among those who looted

Support Your Local Economy 

by: Mike Hindenach 

Frequently you will see articles discussing the importance 

of buying in your local economy. I suppose this 

is an article to remind you that it is important to support 

your local economy. Yes, I urge you to support your local 

Chamber members first, then the Elizabeth City area 

businesses as well. But every purchase decision will 

always come down to a value proposition. 

I am not going to stand here and tell you not to buy 

what you want; however, I will ask you to let your local 

companies compete for your business. I would contend 

that your local business will pay more attention to your 

personal needs than a larger city counterpart. That 

comes from living in a community where you actually 

know your neighbors. You will build better relationships 

with your local professionals because they are part of 

your community. 

If you cannot find what you are looking for, then I completely 

understand finding it outside of the Elizabeth City 

area. But there are some that believe you will find better 

deals in larger communities. If you factor in time and 

travel, do those deals really add more value to you as a 

consumer? 

Of course we should at least take a moment to talk 

about the economic multiplier effect. There are a number 

of ways to define it, but I will suggest the following: 

Poor Man’s Meal 

Grandma Swain lived through the depression and like many others of her time, 

she knew how to stretch what she had to feed the most people. This recipe is 

simple and makes use of what is on hand in most every household. 

The multiplier is comprised of three elements - the 

direct, indirect, and induced impacts. 

-Direct impact is spending done by a business in the local 

economy to operate the business, including inventory, 

utilities, equipment and pay to employees. 

-Indirect impact happens as dollars the local business 

spent at other area businesses re-circulate. 

-Induced impact refers to the additional consumer spending 

that happens as employees, business owners and 

others spend their income in the local economy. 

On average, 48 percent of each purchase at local independent 

businesses was recirculated locally, compared 

to less than 14 percent of purchases at chain stores.

In general, the more we spend at home, the healthier 

our local economy will be. It just makes sense to spend 

where you live, support those that you know, and take 

care of your own first. If nothing else, give your local businesses 

the chance to win your business. Beyond that, we 

all understand it is a value proposition.

All Hail the Mother Vine 

by: Coy Domiecq 

The time is drawing near for the ripening of the local Scuppernong grapes. 

This variety of the muscadine grape (Vitus rotundifolia) received its name 

for its growth range along North Carolina’s Scuppernong River. One source 

put its discovery by European explorers around 1554 where it was found on 

Roanoke Island. No doubt the Croatan tribe knew about the fruit long before 

the European arrival on these shores. 

The fruit’s characteristics include a bronze-colored thick skin and fruits that 

typically grow along the vine in singles, doubles, or sometimes larger groupings, 

but rarely in the pyramidal grape cluster format that many people are 

familiar with. There is slight variation among the Scuppernong cultivars and 

even more variation still between the muscadine types. 

The Scuppernong, as in all muscadines, is high in Vitamin C and has high 

levels of antioxidants. It is generally considered to be the healthiest grape 

type. First time consumers are cautioned to spit the seeds out or be rewarded 

with a bitter aftertaste. Seasoned consumers of Scuppernongs need no 

reminder of this fact. 

The Scuppernong grape is North Carolina’s official fruit. It has as many recipes 

as it does local names for the tasty treat. It purportedly holds the distinction 

of being the first variety of grape to be cultivated in the United States. 

The oldest cultivated Scuppernong grape plant continues to grow at the 

northern end of Roanoke Island. If you are in the area, please stop in to pay 

your respects to this Mother Vine.

New Event Venue Opens in Style 


(252) 335-5108 

Sherri McDaniel’s late father always spoke about the 

value of business ownership. As her husband Mike prepared 

to retire from the U.S. Coast Guard as an aircraft 

mechanic, she revisited her dad’s advice. Sherri envisioned 

a professional event center and business venue 

that filled a vital need in the community. 

the needs of their attendees,” mentioned Elizabeth City 

Chamber board chair Doug Gardner. 

“It’s a sign of optimism that a retired Coastie would 

decide to stay here and go out an a limb and open a 

business.” 

The concept was unique and distinct. The McDaniels 

would provide flexibility and customization for large and 

small events. A catering area accomodates the provider 

of your choice, and generous rental timeframes allow 

people to make the most of their well-planned get-together. 

The grand opening, hosted by the Elizabeth City Chamber 

of Commerce, welcomed 135 guests and showcased 

local caterers. 

Impressive outdoorsy decor, such as taxidermy wall figures 

and antlered chandeliers, wowed the crowd, along 

with furnishings imported from England. These were the 

brainchild of Dorothy Breedlove, Sherri’s mother, who 

moved to the area from Alaska and partners with her 

daughter and son-in-law to make the venue successful. 

The Carolina Center attracts individuals from the Virginia 

area who find convenience and value at the location 

on the north side of Elizabeth City. Guests appreciate 

relaxing by a “crackling” fireplace complete with cozy 

couches and candles for a memorable photo opportunity. 

The McDaniels would like to thank contractor William 

Gregory for his assistance and craftsmanship. 

To schedule a tour of the Carolina Center or learn 

more about their Grand Opening special, contact Mike 

and Sherri McDaniel at 252 331 7723, or email bookyourevent@thecarolina.center.
