The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway 

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an 

American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical 

and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, 

while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later 

generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the 

mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature 

in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections, 

and two non-fiction works. Additional works, including three novels, 

four short story collections, and three non-fiction works, were published 

posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of 

American literature.

Elizabeth City Downtown Inc. Summer Happenings 

by Colleen Brown 

Tuesday evenings in the spring and summer come 

alive on the downtown Elizabeth City waterfront with 

Elizabeth City Downtown Inc.’s Summer Movies & Music 

Series at Mariners’ Wharf Park. Starting in June you 

can enjoy a classic movie at the park on Tuesday evenings 

beginning at 8:30 pm. Movies considered “oldies 

but goodies” are chosen from the 1930’s through the 

1960’s and shown on the big screen, drive-in movie 

style. “Many think the classics are boring, but they have 

really intricate plot lines and are pretty entertaining. A 

classic movie can be a refreshing change,” says Deborah 

Malenfant of ECDI. The official film season is every 

Tuesday in June and July. Because evening thunderstorms 

become the norm this time of year, rain-outs are 

to be expected. Up to two rain dates are scheduled. 

The remaining film schedule for this year is: 

July 11 - Camille 

July 18- The Quiet Man 

July 25 - Citizen Kane 

August 1 (rain date) – Easy Living 

August 8 (rain date) –Lilies of the Field 

The Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Parks & Recreation 

Department wants to be sure kids have the opportunity 

for some movie entertainment, as well. They host 

kid-friendly movies on the third Friday night of the 

months of June, July, and August, beginning at 8:30 

p.m. Hot dogs are cooked up by the Sheriff’s Dept, the 

Fire Dept hosts a temporary splash pad, and movies/ 

popcorn are available to buy. The remaining Kids Flix 

movie lineup includes: 

July 21- Little Giants 

Aug. 18 - Dolphin Tale 

The Music on the Green at Mariners’ Wharf Park music 

series starts Tuesday, July 25th, continuing for eight 

consecutive Tuesday evenings, from 6-8 pm. The

Roar of the Dandelion 

by: Coy Domecq 

A term once popularized by a favorite children’s show amphibian 

star, “It isn’t easy being green.” applies to this month’s wild food 

feature. The ubiquitous, and often cursed, dandelion yields a tasty 

and nutritious addition to seasonal diets. This common lawn ornament, 

which is classified in the sunflower family, is also known by 

the names lion’s paw and blow ball. The leaves are best collected 

in the spring before their bitterness overrides the subtle characteristic 

of gathered greens. The roots are usually harvested in early fall 

when they are at the highest stored nutritive value. The developing 

flower buds can be gathered whenever they appear. First and foremost, 

the dandelion needs to be accurately identified as one of the 

varieties of edible plants. Secondly, the foraged plants need to be 

collected from pesticide-free areas. 

It is surmised dandelions have been consumed since pre-recorded 

history. The plant contains high levels of potassium, calcium and 

magnesium as well as vitamins A, B, and C. Purportedly, the dandelion 

rivals any cultivated garden plant for its store of vitamin A. All 

parts of the plant can be eaten, either raw, sautéed, boiled, pickled, 

steeped, dried, baked, or roasted. Recipes abound for this versatile 

plant. The dandelion also plays a leading role in traditional medicine, 

homeopathic approaches, and natural remedies. It enjoys the 

stance as one of the earliest plants recorded for use as an herbal 

medicinal to treat a wide variety of body ailments including congestion, 

elimination and skin disorders.

Since 1927 

You may be wondering exactly what the new clinic at 905 Halstead 

Boulevard is about. Bethesda Integrative Medicine is a direct primary 

care practice offering your family longer visits, easier access, and 

comprehensive care. 

For a low monthly fee, you have 24/7 access to my services as a 

board certified family physician. Monthly fees include basic labs 

examining liver, kidney, and thyroid functions, cholesterol, and sugar. 

A yearly physical and health plan are included. 

Since insurance is not accepted, I can spend more time answering 

your questions. As an Integrative Health Coach, I also help you make 

successful health changes in a similar fashion to a life coach. 

Factors influencing your health are examined, and you decide which 

area to focus on. Most of the time, improvement in one area causes 

ripples of improvement in others At the center of the change is you 

and mindful awareness. Awareness of your physical, mental, social, 

and spiritual well-being is the core of positive change. 

Learning the needs you have and addressing them is called selfcare. 

There are seven interconnected areas of your life that deserve 

self-care: mind-body connection, movement, exercise and rest, nutrition, 

personal and professional development, physical environment, 

relationships and communication, and spirituality. 

As you start taking care of these areas, you can utilize professional 

resources for disease prevention and treatment, whether through 

conventional or complementary approaches. 

At the center is YOU. You know yourself best, so you are the expert 

in your needs. As a family physician, I can partner with you on this 

journey.

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

Last time I provided a little of my food safety background. 

Over the years I’ve shared information about our 

toxic environment and many instances the “CAUSE”. For 

this article I’m compelled to discuss my perspective on 

healthcare and how it was developed and how it relates 

to “CAUSE”. For the sake of clarity I’m going to go a little 

deeper into my background to develop my thesis. 

In 1956 I joined the Navy and was stationed aboard the 

USS Saratoga. We did two tours in the Mediterranean 

and visited most of the major seaports in the region. 

Here’s where my view of things were born. The tours 

lasted six or seven months and for most of the ports of 

call we got liberty. When we returned from many of our 

liberties we were arbitrarily given this new antibiotic, penicillin 

whether or not we were sexually active. At the time 

it was apparently considered innocuous. Remember this 

was in the late 50’s. The Saratoga was decommissioned 

in 1994. I was part of the effort to make it a museum but 

the effort failed because of extensive asbestos throughout 

ship. 

Life was a little different in those days, smoking and 

tobacco use was very prevalent. In the Navy, when the 

“smoking lamp was lit”, most everyone smoked. And, 

if you didn’t smoke it didn’t matter because you were 

breathing smoke anyway. I suspect it was the same in all 

of the branches of the military and in the general public 

because tobacco use was even marketed and advertised 

by the medical community, and even considered glamorous. 

So let’s connect the dots. The four thousand plus 

population of the ship were exposed to two of the most 

toxic carcinogenic materials in our environment, and our 

immune system was compromised by the antibiotics. 

Not hardly innocuous. And now I see TV ads everywhere 

about mesothelioma (80% asbestos related). I’d love to 

see the epidemiology data on the navy population, shipyard 

workers and their families.

I guess it wouldn’t be such a big deal if there wasn’t 

curiosity about where viruses such as Hepatitis C, Shingles, 

and HIV, are in the body for decades before they’re 

expressed. I’ve since learned that those viruses are 

probably lying dormant in the nervous system sheathes, 

where our immune defenses can’t touch them, and are 

triggered when the immune system is compromised. 

That gets us back to the immune system. Here’s a 

refresher, the immune system is all about what you eat. 

Antibiotics indiscriminately kill bacteria in the intestines 

(gut) where the immune system resides and gets its 

nutrients. Antibiotics are useful tools, but when used 

sub-therapeutically to fatten livestock and poultry, to mitigate 

infl ammation from the use of rGBH (bovine growth 

hormone) in dairy products and to mask unsanitary 

manufacturing practices, without prominent labeling is a 

“CAUSE” every consumer should consider because the 

“EFFECT”, is a compromised immune systems. 

Finally, here are a few voluntary recalls of the many 

that have been published and that might be sold in our 

region: 

Creation Gardens, Inc. Recalls Ground Beef and primal 

cuts products due to E Coli 0157.H7. 

Tyson Foods, Inc. Recalls Ready to Eat Chicken Products 

due to misbranding and undeclared allegans. 

Conagra Brands,Inc. Recalls Spaghetti and Meatball 

products due to misbranding and undeclared allegans. I 

suspect that the Tyson’s and Conagra’s products will be 

relabeled and distributed through Food Banks, which is a 

good thing. 

These recalls are quality control and HAACP matters. 

My concerns are the products are probably consumed 

before they’re retrieved. We’ll analyze that a little deeper 

if I can acquire more data. 

Let’s protect and strengthen our immune systems. Let 

quality wholesome food be your medicine.

ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY - SAYINGS OF THE DESERT FATHERS: 

ABBA JOHN THE DWARF 

Abba John the Dwarf was born about 339 AD to poor Christian 

parents in Basta, in lower Egypt. At the age of eighteen 

he went with his brother, Daniel, to Scetis of the monks; 

where John became a disciple of Abba Ammoes. In time, 

John attracted many disciples to whom he taught his austere 

way of life. Among these was St. Arsenius the Great. 

The number of Abba John’s preserved sayings indicates his 

importance among his disciples. The fi rst passage below 

references John’s early training as Scetis. 

submit to him. It is the same with the passions of the flesh: if 

a man goes about fasting and hungry the enemies of his soul 

grow weak.” 

Abba John said, “We have put the light burden on one side, 

that is to say, self-accusation; and we have loaded ourselves 

with a heavy one, that is to say, self-justifi cation.” 

It is said of Abba John the Dwarf that he withdrew and lived 

in the desert of Scetis with Ammoes, an old man of Thebes. 

This abba took a piece of dry wood and planted it and said to 

John, “Water it every day, until it bears fruit.” Now the water 

was so far away that he had to leave each evening and return 

the next morning. At the end of three years the wood came to 

life and bore sweet fi gs. Then Abba Ammoes took a basket 

of the fruit to the church, saying to the brethren, “Take and eat 

of the fruit of obedience and patience.” 

It was said of the same Abba John that when he returned 

from the harvest or when he had been with some of the old 

men, he gave himself to prayer, meditation and psalmody 

until his thoughts were re-established in their previous order. 

He also said, “Humility and the fear of God are above all 

virtues.” 

Abba John the Dwarf said, “If a king wanted to take possession 

of his enemy’s city, he would begin by cutting off the water 

and the food and so his enemies, dying of hunger, would 

The same abba also said, “It is by warfare that the soul 

makes progress.”

Adding value to our economy - Vasquez Painting 

By Laura Bush Jenkins 

After 13 dedicated years in Edenton’s marine industry, Edvin Vasquez 

embraced the opportunity to start his own painting company with his brother 

Isidro. Right away, they discovered a niche enhancing the charm of small 

homes which often fell off the radar of large companies. 

Hard work has been a constant in Edvin’s life from a young age. At seven 

years old, he worked full-time providing for his family in the small town of La 

Democracia, Guatemala. He never attended a formal school, but Edvin prides 

himself in learning through practical experiences. 

With support from an Edenton church community, Vasquez became fl uent in 

English. He jokes about the friendly critiques he receives from his nine yearold 

daughter while conversing in English. In addition, his eight and four yearold 

sons talk with him about running the growing family business in the future. 

Vasquez and Liliana- his wife of 14 years-aspire to buy additional property in 

Chowan County to build outdoor family memories. 

By popular demand, Vasquez Painting expanded its services to include garden 

and lawn care. Edvin’s background in organic farming is a resource to individuals 

who appreciate the health benefi ts of pesticide-free growing. In addition, 

homeowners at Edenton Country Club and along the Albemarle Sound are 

now able to spend more time with their families while leveraging Edvin’s lawn 

care precision. 

If you would like to connect with the Edvin Vasquez about your next painting 

and home improvement project, contact 252 642 9047.

Firearms and the Law 

by Joe Forbes 

The shooting death of Philando Castile focuses our attention 

on interactions between police and concealed carry 

permit holders. The dash cam footage shows that the event 

was highly stressful on all involved. Hopefully, we can learn 

from it to prevent a similar tragedy in the future. 

When Mr. Castile informs the offi cer that he has a weapon, 

the officer’s stress level goes up. It can be heard in his 

voice. The offi cer tells Castile not to “pull it out”, but Castile 

apparently reaches for something. (The inside of the car 

is not visible on the video.) The officer yells several times 

for Castile not to pull it out, but the situation escalates to 

where the offi cer shoots Castile several times, resulting in 

his death. 

Castile may have been reaching for the weapon, his ccw 

permit, or something else. We may never know. It doesn’t 

make sense that he would reach for the weapon after 1) 

warning the offi cer that he had it, 2) knowing that the offi cer 

was on alert for a weapon, and 3) being told not to reach for 

it. The only thing that is certain is that the rapid escalation 

of the situation and the stress on both sides is what triggered 

the fatal shooting. If the escalation and stress were 

eliminated, then the outcome would have been different. 

There has been much discussion criticizing both parties 

in the encounter, with much of it oversimplifying the issues. 

True, Castile would be alive if he had simply not reached for 

whatever it was he reached for. But the officer didn’t handle 

the situation calmly either. His instructions were for Castile 

not to “pull it out”, not “don’t reach for anything”. Given the 

chance, both would have handled the situation differently. 

On any traffic stop, the officer is naturally on alert, because 

he likely doesn’t know who he is stopping, even if he knows 

from the license plate who owns the vehicle. For all he 

knows, the driver could be a violent prison escapee. We all 

get nervous upon being stopped by the police. When the 

offi cer learns that there is a weapon, his stress goes up further. 

Police officers are trained to look for nervousness as 

a sign of something suspicious, so stress begets stress. No 

one is immune to it, and stress makes people do irrational 

things, on both sides of the encounter. We cannot control 

what the offi cer does, but we can control what we do. The 

key is to deescalate the situation. 

Take a deep breath, slow down, and do things very deliberately. 

Keep your hands on the wheel and do not move them 

unless told to do so by the offi cer. Be polite and respectful. 

Keep your voice at a calm, conversational level. Tell the 

offi cer early on that you have a weapon and where it is. Do 

not reach for anything without clearly telling the offi cer what 

you are going to do, and getting his consent to do so. Make 

all movements very slowly, even those directed by the offi - 

cer. Ladies with a weapon in a purse may want to consider 

giving the entire purse to the offi cer, and letting him retrieve 

your ID and ccw permit. (You don’t want to get shot while 

digging through the purse trying to fi nd them.) The same 

rules apply when being approached by an offi cer on foot. 

Finally, be conscious of the situation where you are not 

carrying a weapon on your body, but may get so close to 

one that it could be considered to be “about your person”. 

For instance, I was surf fishing in waist-deep water, and my 

fi shing license was in my vehicle. When approached by the 

fi sheries offi cer, I had to go to the vehicle to get it. I had a 

weapon in the vehicle, which I made sure I disclosed to the 

offi cer. 

Communicate. Cooperate. Live to tell about it.

The Forgotten Retirement Planning Tool--LIFE INSURANCE 

As I have mentioned many times in my past articles, insurance 

is not taught in the high school or college systems. 

So, since Life Insurance is dealing with money and its value, 

neither is money growth or how money can work for and 

with you taught in schools. Most young adults learn what 

they know about money from their parents, who learned it 

from their folks.. and so on!! 

Problem is.. None of them learned the right way or have 

NO IDEA what it is about. Our economy runs on one thing.. 

MONEY--CASH--MOOLA!! People need to learn how money 

works and how it can get you into deep trouble 

or how it can make you feel good. Most people have 

always heard about 401K accounts they get at work. You 

are told at work this is a great way to save for retirement 

some 30-40-50 years down the line.. What they do not tell 

you is, how your money MAY NOT be there later on, due 

to things like stock market crashes, fi nancial advisors who 

only look out for themselves , or charge you fees even if 

your funds go up or down!! Of course, you have NO IDEA 

WHAT THEY ARE DOING OR NOTHING ABOUT MUTUAL 

FUNDS, OR STOCKS (PREFERRED OR COMMON) OR 

BONDS OR T- BILLS... You are depending on your fi nancial 

future to something you have NO KNOWLEDGE about. Are 

these profi ts taxable and how, can I lose money, can I be 

penalized for needing money early..( Alot of penalty rules 

are written in the tax code mainly by lawyers). I could go 

on and on about this, but I want to educate you the value of 

using PERMANENT LIFE INSURANCE as a tool for retirement 

planning.. Many educated and learned scholars will 

POOF at the idea of using life insurance to earn savings..I 

t is because it is so simple so easy to understand, they 

want to keep things complicated so you have to depend on 

THEIR VAST KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE..BALONEY, 

all types of accounts have their merits if handled by the 

right people in the right way.. MY EXPERTISE IS IN LIFER 

INSURANCE, 50 YEARS WORTH!!Permanent Life Insurance 

has cash value features that are GUARANTEED TO 

GROW EVERY YEAR, NO MATTER WHAT THE ECON- 

OMY OR THE STOCK MARKET IS DOING..Like the sun 

rising and setting, these values go UP.UP..UP11 Another 

main feature is that certain plans pay DIVIDENDS IN THEIR 

CONTRACTS,above and beyond the GUARANTEED 

CASH VALUES.. These values are not guaranteed, but 

most major companies have paid DIVIDENDS FOR OVER 

100 YEARS++.. These plans are called PARTICIPATING 

PLANS, meaning they pay to you, the policy owner, some of 

their profi ts each year!! 

Now comes the best part THESE VALUES GROW TAX 

FREE AND CAN BE TAKEN OUT TAX FREE!! Even if your 

policy is worth more in these values than your total premiums 

paid in,properly advised these funds are TAX FREE!! 

Now, most agents do not sell these policies, because many 

large companies have quit offering them.. They would 

rather push low cost TERM INSURANCE..Now, do not get 

me wrong, for I do also sell term insurance, but only if the 

need of the person, family or business warrant it.. Now, 

sure, some other fi nancial plans can be bought on a tax free 

advantage, (ROTH IRS, SOME GOVERNMENT BONDS, 

By--JIM KAIGHN CLU,CHFC,RHU,AABA BSBA 

ETC)..But again, YOU 

have no idea how these 

things work..Oh, and one 

last thing.. If you die before 

retiring or wanting to take 

out your earnings, all your 

family gets is the amount of 

money in these accounts.. 

AFTER THE GOVERN- 

MENT GETS THEIR FAIR 

SHARE.......Life Insurance 

will pay the ENTIRE 

amount of the insurance to 

the family..usually many, 

many many times more 

than the cash money is 

worth,, AND THE MONEY COMES TO THE FAMILY OR 

BUSINESS TAX FREE!! 

No federal, or state taxes..(in 99% of the cases)..So, if you 

would like more info on this idea, or others, call me at 252 

335 5983 or 252 202 5983, or my e-mail is “insdr@roadrunner.com” 

Until nest time, HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU!! THOUGHT OF 

THE MONTH-- If you compare yourself with others you may 

become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and 

lesser persons than yourself!

“No Credit Check” or Buy Now 

Rent to Own When talking to people who have been injured in auto- 

rent971.com 

mobile wrecks, I am frequently asked which insurance 

should be used to pay for the ongoing medical bills: 

Health insurance? Automobile insurance of the at-fault 

driver? Medical payments coverage? 

Many people assume that only the at-fault driver’s 

insurance should be billed for your treatment. This is 

incorrect, mainly because, in North Carolina, the responsible 

automobile insurance company only pay one 

settlement at the end of your treatment, which should 

include reimbursement to you for all of your medical bills. 

Most medical providers will not wait that long for payment 

and will report you to collection agencies if they are not 

paid promptly. 

Instead, you should provide your own health insurance 

information to your medical providers and insist that they 

bill your health insurance. With a few exceptions, such 

as Medicare, your health insurance is the primary source 

of payment for your medical bills. This is because, 

regardless of who caused the wreck, you are the one 

needing the medical treatment, so the payment for that is 

your primary responsibility. 

On top of your own health insurance, hopefully you 

have Medical Payments coverage (med. pay., or MPC) 

on your own auto. Insurance policy. This is a no-fault, 

automatic coverage that you pay premiums for that pays 

you the amount of your medical bills up to the amount 

of the coverage you purchased. This is typically a small 

coverage amount, between $1,000.00 and $5,000.00. 

You simply provide to your automobile insurance agent 

medical bills arising from a wreck, and your agent should 

arrange for you to get a check in the proper amount. 

You can then use that money to reimburse yourself for 

co-pays and deductibles, lost income, or even a down 

payment on a new car. 

Once you have fi nally obtained a settlement from the 

automobile insurance company of the person who hurt 

you, you may or may not have to repay your health insurance 

company for the medical bills it paid. This is an 

increasingly complicated area of the law and is beyond 

the scope of this article.

Dear Dr. Crime: Are schools safe? I read a lot about 

stuff that scares me for my kids. Concerned Dad 

Dear Concerned: Much data about your question is 

available through the US Bureau of Justice Statistics. 

A report (i) on safety in American schools has been 

released as a collaboration of highly qualifi ed research 

agencies. They report that nationally 48 schools were 

associated with violent deaths over one year. For adolescent 

students in one year there were about 841,100 

nonfatal victimizations at school and 545,100 nonfatal 

victimizations away from school. In the same period 

about 21 percent of adolescent students reported being 

bullied at school. So is it safe? It seems to vary by 

school, but the numbers are higher than I would like. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Is it true that crime rates for females 

is lower than the same rate for men? If that is true it is 

because we women are better people than men!!! 

Smart Administrator. 

Dear Administrator: The National Incident-Based 

Reporting System (NIBRS)ii gives data showing the differential 

offending and differential selection by police of 

females in offi cial arrest statistics. The probability of arrest 

for females was: (1) 28 percent lower for kidnapping; 

(2) 48 percent lower for forcible fondling; (3) 9 percent 

lower for simple assault; and (4) 27 percent lower for 

intimidation than males. The report assigns some of the 

explanation to police norms about women, but it remains 

a clear difference. I have made a note to research the 

relative goodness of humans by gender and will report 

back to you another time. 

Dog Gone 

Dear Dr. Crime: Is it true that crooks just don’t care 

about stuff and have no feeling about their lives? 

Crook’s Girl Friend 

Dear Lady: No, research(iii) shows that 1 in 7 state 

and federal prisoners and 1 in 4 jail inmates report psychological 

problems, compared 1 in 19 of our general 

population. Be watchful and take care of yourself if you 

are dating a criminal. 

Dear Dr. Crime: I know an old guy who gets kicked 

around where he lives. Should I stick my nose in and 

what do I do? Angry Old Lady 

Dear Thoughtful Citizen: Right on time! June 15th was 

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and in the interest 

of everyone, call 911 and discuss what you know with 

the police. And you can call your local county Dept. of 

Social Services. Then take a look at the National Criminal 

Justice Reference Service report that we will soon 

be at 88 million people in that age group. About 11% of 

them report abuse, but it is underreported and the cost 

is awful. See https://www.ncjrs.gov/elderabuse/?utm_

As citizens across the United States gather to celebrate the Nation’s independence 

from Britain in 1776, many American Indians respect and proudly carry the 

American flag alongside their respective tribal flags. The display of pride in our 

country is generally witnessed at the commencement of many tribal Pow-Wows or 

cultural festivities and is retired with the same respect at the end of the event. Honoring 

our veterans with a special ceremony commands reverence as the crowds 

listen to the drum beats with songs expressing gratitude. This honor prevails, in 

spite of the conflict that Natives have endured since colonization. During the American 

colonizer’s fight for independence, many Indian tribes fought with the colonizers 

against Britain, while many other tribes fought with the British against these 

“invaders.” Britain had warned the Indians that the settlers were after their lands 

and would not honor any treaties made if they were to win. As a result, many tribes 

turned this war into a war of independence for themselves as well. 

As it turned out, Britain lost and conceded all of their land to the colonizers at the 

end of the war. Without any acknowledgement, American Indians were excluded 

from all deals made between Britain and the American colonizers. Feeling betrayed, 

this event created even more perilous times as settlers continued westward 

with encroachment and defending boundaries became fiercer. 

It was during this same period, that Chowanoke leaders were also defending 

their territorial boundaries against encroachment by the settlers. For many years, 

several requests were made by the Chief of the Chowanoke tribe to have a survey 

taken of their reservation and many pleas were made to the NC Council with complaints 

of their land being taken away. Later, pleas due to conditions of poverty as 

the Chowanoke helped the American colonizers fight internal wars were also noted 

in colonial records. These pleas began in the late 1600’s and continued through the 

late 1700’s. The Chowanoke were likewise met with an unfavorable outcome. 

Yet, irrespective of the outcome, we continue to honor and defend our land and 

country today, recognizing that our independence was at stake as well. After all, 

this is our Native homeland and country.

Gun Tips 

I thought I would delve into a bunch of fi rearms for this 

article. The more I dug the more confused I became. 

Semi-autos, revolvers and stuff that looked like military 

hardware that were called hand guns. I also looked at 

some prices and decided that I needed at least a million 

bucks to buy and test. So my thinking is for the fi rst 

timers is to buy gun related mags at the super market 

and read their testing. Since I have been a shooter over 

many decades I have enjoyed many types of fi re arms 

and some I have simply backed away from. My point 

is determine your needs and visit a gun dealer and ask 

questions. If the dealer is fair, a productive dialog will 

get what you need. Remember that on both sides of the 

counter is a need. Dealer needs to sell for profi t and you 

as a potential client want what is best for you. Semi auto 

or wheel gun; what can you handle with some ease? Me! 

I like both and frankly I am very comfortable with each. 

Yeah! I know the anti’s want to disarm us. Guess what. 

Even some of the “leaders” who disdain self-defense 

live {maybe} in some of the most horrendous crime and 

killing zones in our nation. Make a bet that those leaders 

have many body guards to protect them while leaving 

the “ unwashed”, “ deplorable” honest citizen to fend for 

themselves. This, my readers, is bovine scatology. Gosh, 

I must be polite, at least on occasion. Every time the 

news broadcasts a horrible event I also hear some dimwit 

ranting about gun control. How do the bad guys get 

guns? Steal them. Black market. Straw purchase. OR incomplete 

government processing of the individual. I carry 

when I leave the home and as some of my CCH students 

have seen I am a good shot. I tell many of them, when 

the need arises, there is always someone better. Think 

about it. Practice situational awareness, meaning look 

before you tackle your task. Good luck, happy summer.

NURSE PRACTIONER TO ENHANCE CARE FOR NEUROLOGY PATIENTS 

ELIZABETH CITY – Sentara Albemarle Medical Center 

(SAMC) announces the addition of Crystal Baker, NP-C, 

DNP to the hospital care team in Elizabeth City. Ms. Baker 

has nearly six years of experience providing neurological 

care as a nurse practitioner in critical, acute, and outpatient 

settings. Ms. Baker’s primary role at SAMC will be 

to support neurological services for patients within the 

inpatient setting and Emergency Department. Her scope of 

practice is as such: 

· Provide in-person consultation and management of 

patients within the inpatient setting in collaboration with 

Drs. Pamela Evans and Daniel Cohen of Sentara Neurology 

Specialists, who will be rounding via tele-neurology. 

· Respond to stroke alerts hospital-wide to provide rapid 

care to patients demonstrating stroke-like symptoms. 

· Enhance coordination of care for local patients who 

may require advanced treatment and follow up at other 

Sentara facilities and serving as a liaison between local 

patients and Sentara neurosurgical services. 

· Develop neuroscience service line and best practice 

for neurologic patients here at SAMC. 

Sawyer’s house of furniture 

Prior to arriving at SAMC, Ms. Baker received six months 

of specialized training with providers within Sentara Neurology 

Specialists at Sentara Norfolk General, Leigh, and 

Obici Hospitals as well as training with the subspecialists 

within the group at the neurology offi ces of Fort Norfolk 

and Princess Anne. “We are excited to have Crystal on our 

team and dedicated to the neurological care of patients 

in northeastern North Carolina,” said Coleen Santa Ana, 

President of Sentara Albemarle Medical Center. “We want 

patients to know that with Crystal’s expertise, they will 

receive a higher level of neurological care in addition to 

having a concrete connection to the Sentara neurology 

team serving Hampton Roads.” 

Prior to Ms. Baker’s experience in the fi eld of neurology, 

she served as a surgical and internal medicine NP and as 

an ICU RN. She has subspecialty training within neurology 

as a Neurovascular NP where she treated patients with 

acute ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes stemming from 

complicated disease processes. Ms. Baker’s decision to 

specialize in neurology originates from her interest in the 

uniqueness of the brain. “Each brain is different, and each 

patient that I see requires quick and complex problem 

solving on my part,” said Ms. Baker. “My expertise in the 

area of stroke and other neurological disorders allow me to 

advocate for my patients’ needs for individualized care.” 

Ms. Baker received her Doctor of Nursing Practice from 

the University of Monmouth in West Long Beach, NJ 

where she completed a study that focused on Innovative 

Approach to Transient Ischemia Attack (TIA) Care. She 

received her Master’s in Family Nursing from Hampton 

University in Hampton, VA and Bachelor of Science in 

Nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 

Birmingham, Alabama. Ms. Baker’s first day at SAMC was 

June 12th.

Sawyer’s house of furniture inc. was established September 

of 1955. 

Three brothers, C.L., Calvin and William Sawyer, the 

original owners were embarking on a business venture 

fulfi lling their “American dream”. Originally from Sandy Hook 

in Camden North Carolina they came from a family of eight 

siblings and were raised on a farm that survived the great 

depression and many other turbulent times. Many hours 

were invested and hard work was no stranger to the brothers 

but it paid off. Sawyer’s house of furniture was more than a 

business, it was a place where all kinds of stories were told 

and the politics of the day were discussed. Families excitedly 

came to pick out furnishings for their fi rst home. First-time 

buyers were given credit with a smile and a handshake. In 

many cases, the terms were $5 down and $10 per month. 

This allowed many to enjoy the America of that time where 

good paying jobs were plentiful and people were grateful 

for the blessings of God. Early on the three brothers did it 

all including the delivery and setup of countless products. 

Merchandise for sale ranged from hair dryers and blenders 

to lawn mowers, gas logs and of course furniture of all kinds. 

The fi rst location was on Hughes Blvd across from the old 

cotton mill. The business comprised of a warehouse and 3 

individual buildings with no air conditioning. 

Over the years those buildings including a house were 

joined together to form a winding path of constantly changing 

furniture selections. Since 1955 quality and reasonable prices 

were always part of the brother’s policy with customer satisfaction 

being the primary goal. Every customer was treated 

as if they were a part of the family and was treated fairly. 

The store thrived thanks to the community and the many 

loyal customers. As a result, many hard working employees 

were able to support their families. In 1979 C.L. Sawyer 

decided to retire leaving Calvin and William to continue with 

a business that had become a pillar of Elizabeth City. The 

brothers worked together as Calvin managed the offi ce and 

William managed the sales fl oor and delivery department. 

As the economy in the 80’s thrived so did the store. By this 

time generational customers were following in the footprints 

of their parents having fond memories of coming in the store 

with their parents. Furniture stores have come and gone but 

Sawyers seemed to be the only deal in town. In 1993 Calvin 

retired leaving William as sole owner. 

On valentines day 1996 a fi re started in the warehouse. 

with plenty of materials to burn and appliance compressors 

exploding like bombs the warehouse burned to the ground. 

The smoke was seen all over Elizabeth City and a few vehicles 

were burned up. The main showroom was evacuated 

but was spared by the grace of God. William had always 

dreamed of building a brand new store and the fi re accelerated 

that dream. In 1998 a new building and warehouse was 

built and was ready for business in 1999. The new building 

was the size of a football fi eld having 35,000 square feet of 

showroom. With continuing support from the community, the 

large showroom was fi lled to capacity. 

Over the years the children of William had become increasing 

more involved in the business. William wanted to spend 

more time with his wife Ventrice wanted to retire. It wasn’t 

easy for him because it took three times to retire before it 

stuck in 2013. At that time William turned the reigns over 

completely to the next generation with his blessing. Sadly on 

February 23rd, 2015, William (Goldbaby) Sawyer, 86 passed 

away surrounded by his wife Ventrice and six children, 

Wade, Karen, Janet, Coston, Bryant, and Neil. September of 

that year the store celebrated its 60th anniversary. A page in 

history was turned. 

Customers still come into the store this very day and 

talk fondly about William and many have stories to tell. At 

present, the furniture store is run by the children making the 

tough decisions and trying to continue the legacy left behind 

focusing on reasonably priced quality goods and good customer 

service. 


White Perch Time 

Summer time in eastern North Carolina means many 

things to folks. For some it’s fresh garden vegetables, 

trips to the beach, vacations, swimming, or boating … 

but to local fi shermen it means the White Perch are 

biting. White perch time usually begins in late May and 

lasts through the summer and into early fall. The white 

perch is not a true member of the perch family but is 

more closely linked to the bass family. In northeastern 

NC it lives in fresh to brackish waters including Albemarle 

Sound, Scuppernong River, Alligator River and 

all the tributaries leading from these waters. They feed 

on worms, shrimp, minnows, and the eggs of others 

fi shes. White perch are a very prolifi c species and are 

sometimes found in large schools. They are important to 

our region as both a sport fi sh as well as a commercial 

one. These fi sh are great fun to catch and can’t be beat 

fried up with some stewed fresh potatoes and coleslaw 

on the side. You can catch white perch on just about any 

equipment possible … bamboo pole, fl y rod, spinning 

reel with bottom rigs, cork rigs, or artifi cial lures. Natural 

baits tend to work best such as worms, shrimp, cut fi sh, 

or crab. The artifi cials that work best are small 1/16 to ¼ 

jigs with feathers, skirts, or soft plastic bodies attached. 

Also small spinner baits, swim baits, or spoons work well 

especially if tipped with a small piece of natural bait. My 

preferred method for catching white perch is to cast a 

small jig with a spinner blade and tipped with a piece of

shrimp using ultra light spinning 

equipment. The number 

one proven method to fi ll your 

cooler with white perch is to 

use a two hook bottom rig with 

small hooks, about a 1 ounce 

weight, and baited with fresh 

shrimp. You will normally catch 

a lot of small ones that you 

throw back for future trips … but there will be plenty of 8” 

to 12” fi sh to keep. Another good thing about white perch 

is that they can be caught from boats, kayaks, wading, 

fi shing from shore, fi shing from piers, in shallow water, in 

deep water … just about anywhere in our area. Do yourself 

a favor and get out this summer to catch a fi ne mess 

of white perch … oh yeah, and take a kid or two along 

with you to show them the joy of White Perch Fishing! 

At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, our counselors 

often hear students say things like, “I hate online classes,” 

or “I like taking classes online, because I have more 

fl exibility.” But now more than ever, they’re hearing things 

like, “I really like EagleVision Home, because it’s live with 

the teacher, but I can attend from home.” EagleVision 

Home is a rapidly-growing, online format that allows 

students to attend live classes from their laptops virtually 

anywhere. Miss a class? Watch it later-- all classes are 

recorded! Here’s the thing: how students prefer to attend 

class has drastically changed the way students learn… 

and universities are listening! By adopting a multi-modality 

course delivery platform, students can choose the way 

they want to learn! 

But what influences student choice to enroll in one 

course format over another? We’re not sure, but there 

are many theories, and research fi ndings are pouring in. 

Studies on the relationship between personality type and 

course modality satisfaction and preference are particularly 

interesting. 

First, there’s some evidence that individuals with high 

levels of Openness to Experience and Conscientiousness 

(Big Five personality traits) are more likely to experience 

a greater level of satisfaction with online courses 

than those low in these traits1. Those high in Openness 

to Experience are intellectually curious, open to new 

experiences, and more aware of their feelings. They are 

not likely to share the view that classroom lectures offer 

the best way to learn. Students scoring high on conscientiousness 

tend to have a preference for planned behavior 

over spontaneous; they’re more self-disciplined and 

detail-oriented. These traits leave them well-prepared for 

online learning and other self-directed behaviors. 

Students with similar personality characteristics also tend 

to prefer similar course delivery modalities (face-to-face, 

online synchronous, online asynchronous, or blended). 

Therefore, we expect those with high Openness to 

Experience and Conscientiousness to routinely enroll 

in online courses. Alternatively, those low in these traits 

tend to rely more on face-to-face courses—and those 

courses are available! The takeaway from this is that 

college-bound students may be more successful if they 

choose course formats that agree with their personality 

traits, at least during their fi rst year of college. However, 

this is not always the case: personality is not the only factor 

that impacts choice. Course delivery satisfaction and 

preference in some students may be infl uenced more by 

their desire to achieve academically, their belief in their 

academic potential, and course topic interest, as well as 

by external factors like work schedules, military deployment, 

and childcare. Find out what your Big-Five scores 

are at http://personality-testing.info/tests/IPIP-BFFM/. 

Regardless of the reasons students choose specifi c 

delivery formats, ERAU fully embraces the multimodality 

philosophy and can offer course delivery based on student 

choice. Active-duty and support personnel attached 

to the U.S. Coast Guard base can drop by the Embry-Riddle 

Campus in Building 62 to learn more. All classes 

are available online, but most are available through 

the EagleVision Home and face-to-face formats, as well.

Pirate Re-enactors Visit Historic Edenton and “Raid” Downtown Businesses 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 

Did you know Historic Edenton is merging this year’s Colonial 

History Days with a live pirate encampment downtown? 

The public event October 13-15th includes live cannon fire, 

a children’s archaeological ‘dig,’ and a special visit from the 

Elizabeth II. This ship, ordinarily housed at Roanoke Island 

Festival Park, represents one of seven original English 

vessels that came to Roanoke settlement in 1585 before the 

Jamestown colony. 

“Edenton has a rich and valuable colonial history, and we 

are expecting our annual Colonial History Program directed 

at school and homeschool groups to grow,” states Bob Hopkins, 

Edenton State Historic site manager. 

“We make learning history exciting and fun through increased 

first-person interpretation, hands-on learning, and 

involving students personally with lifetime learning experiences.” 

Part of this interaction includes the opportunity to meet the 

“Devilmen of Cape Fear,” a non-profit group of pirate re-enactors 

who perform with unique attention to historical detail. 

“We’re not talking about a Johnny Depp, Hollywood scene,” 

says Captain William Hall, a 30-year veteran of pirate re-enactment, 

from Surf City, NC. “Our group is hardcore.” 

The group operates with none of the creature comforts of 

the 21st century. These “honest seaman trying to make a 

living” keep a low profile since, according to Hall, “admitting 

to being a pirate was a death sentence” at that time. 

Pirates were clean-shaven men in their early to mid-twenties 

wearing dirty brown apparel reflective of sea life. When 

you see them over the weekend at Edenton Bay Trading 

Company, Waterman’s Grill, and Bistro 309, be sure to say 

hello to patrons and offer them a drink before they get back 

on the water. 

“People enjoyed interacting with pirates in full costume and 

character,” said Debbie and Malcolm King, co-owners of 

Edenton Bay Trading Company. “It was lots of fun and we 

are looking forward to having them back.”

Edenton, visit www.visitedenton.com or call 252 482

A Compassionate, Credible Solution by Matt Morrison 

Deuteronomy chapter 15 verse 11 begins “for the poor 

will never cease to be in the land.” Growing up, we all 

have probably heard some version of this or its New 

Testament analog (“The poor you will always have with 

you”). In some parts of our region this is more evident 

than others, but now we have a unique opportunity to do 

something tangible about this chronic issue affecting our 

communities. 

You may not be aware, but the region’s largest supportive 

housing resource for homeless single adults 

is right in your backyard. Virginia Supportive Housing 

was founded in 1988 as a nonprofit providing an evidence-based, 

permanent solution to chronic homelessness 

in the Commonwealth. This is not a group home, 

rehab facility, shelter, or transitional housing, but rather 

we empower formerly homeless folks in the region 

with both the supportive case management they need 

and the responsibilities of being a paying tenant with a 

lease. Some residents may stay a year, some twenty 

five, but almost all will never go another day without 

shelter. Since most Hampton Roads clients reside in 

buildings made specifically for the chronically homeless, 

VSH is able to provide interaction with volunteers, offer 

case management through a dedicated social worker at 

each building, and provide a consistent, comfortable living 

experience. By providing a supportive and enriching 

environment off the streets, over 95% of our residents 

have remained stably housed in recent years. 

Virginia Supportive Housing came to Hampton Roads 

in 2006 with Gosnold Apartments in Norfolk. Currently 

there are five VSH apartment communities in the region, 

with a sixth to be completed by the end of this year. 

This will bring the total number of individuals served by 

VSH to roughly 500 throughout South Hampton Roads. 

A unique circumstance of our presence in the area is 

the amount of regional collaboration that takes place at 

our complexes, with the cities of Portsmouth, Norfolk, 

Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Suffolk all contributing 

to make permanent homes possible for some of their 

most vulnerable citizens. 

One community that received support from all five of 

these localities was Heron’s Landing in Chesapeake. 

Located at 2133 S Military Highway, it opened in 2013 

and serves 60 adults from the region. Look for more 

information on Heron’s Landing, including resident 

testimonials, in upcoming issues of the Albemarle 

Tradewinds! If you are interested in donating to our 

mission or learning more, visit www.virginiasupportivehousing.org 

or contact Ms. Arden Reed at areed@ 

virginiasupportivehousing.org, 757-355-0508. 

…and, in case you’re curious, Deuteronomy 15:11 ends 

with “You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to 

your needy and poor in your land.” At Virginia Supportive 

Housing, we strive to live this every day!

Question: 

I am confused and hope you can clarify some issues for 

me. My mother is 77 years old and lives independently 

in her Elizabeth City house. I live here in Elizabeth City 

and my brother lives in Maryland. Although mom gets 

forgetful at times, she continues to pay her bills, to make 

decisions about her certificates of deposit and to manage 

many, if not all, of her financial decisions. My friends at 

work keep telling me that I must get “power of attorney” 

for my mother. I really don’t know what they mean. I visited 

the library and there was a form dealing with health 

care issues – is this form a power of attorney? 

Concerned Daughter 

Dear Concerned, 

The form I saw at the library was a health care power of 

attorney. This document gives the person you designate 

as your health care agent broad powers to make health 

care decisions for you, including the power to consent 

to your doctor not giving treatment or stopping treatment 

necessary to keep you alive. This power exists only to 

those health care decisions for which you are unable to 

give informed consent. I recommend your mother consider 

executing a health care power of attorney naming 

you as her first choice for agent and your brother as second 

agent. Since you are local and the one that would 

be called upon to assist your mother, if necessary, you 

would have the legal authority to make any health-related 

decisions for her. If you were unavailable, then you 

brother would have the decision-making authority. This 

is not the only power of attorney that I recommend for 

your mother. 

There is much confusion about “Powers of Attorney.” 

First, let’s define a Durable General Power of Attorney. 

This is a legal document where you (the principal) 

authorize another person or entity (the agent), whether 

family member, friend or bank, to act on your behalf 

should you become disabled, incapacitated or need 

their help. Generally, this power of attorney deals with 

financial assets and real estate. The agent has broad 

authority to deal with the principal’s asses. For example, 

the agent may make decisions concerning real property 

transactions, personal property transactions, bond, share 

and commodities transactions, tax issues, and social 

security issues to name a few. The document states 

the powers that are given to the agent. The power of 

attorney is durable because the agent’s powers are not 

affected should the principal become incapacitated or 

incompetent in the future. Pursuant to a durable power 

of attorney, the agent may continue acting on behalf of 

the incapacitated principal. This is particularly important 

should the principal suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s 

disease. The durable general power of attorney must be 

recorded after the principal becomes incapacitated, but 

may be recorded at any time after signing the document. 

Contract a durable general power of attorney with a specific 

or limited power of attorney. A limited power of attorney 

is usually for a specific task – for example, selling an 

automobile or paying bills from a specific bank account. 

Once the transaction is completed, the agent no longer 

has any authority to act on behalf of the principal. 

I recommend that everyone, regarding of age or financial 

position, consider executing both a durable general 

power of attorney and health care power of attorney. 

Yes, even if all your mother’s financial assets are in joint 

names (your mother, your brother and you), these documents 

are important. Joint ownership is not a substitute 

for executing these powers of attorney. You must execute 

both documents when you are competent. It has 

been said, “If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.” 

In conclusion, I recommend your mother, your brother 

and you discuss these various legal documents. Ultimately, 

it is your mother’s decisions whether decides to 

execute these documents.

EC Habitat receives Women Givers of Northeast NC Grant 

By Jane Elfring 

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity has received a grant 

of $500 from Women Givers of Northeast North Carolina 

to help defray the costs of emergency repairs recently 

completed for an elderly resident of Elizabeth City. 

Habitat for Humanity has programs that allow affi liates to 

perform home repairs and the owners repay the no-interest 

loans over a period proportionate to the amount of the 

loan. 

When the resident contacted Elizabeth City Habitat for 

Humanity, she felt the water damage was confi ned to her 

kitchen. When contractors assessed the damage, they 

found that, while the worst damage was in the kitchen, it 

extended into the bedroom, bathroom and living room. 

This necessitated removing all furnishings and fl ooring 

from those areas to complete the repairs. The joists 

were so water damaged that it took two weeks for them 

to dry enough to begin the repairs. New insulation, joists 

and subfl oor were installed, according to President Jane 

Elfring, who said the kitchen cabinets were also damaged. 

After these repairs were completed, new kitchen cabinets 

and fl ooring were installed. 

“The resident has a history of health problems including 

a stroke and seizures.” Elfring said. “We could not just 

repair the kitchen because the damage in the other areas 

was also a health risk to her. We opted to complete the 

repairs and discuss repayment of the repair costs later.” 

The total cost of repairs was nearly $8600. Nettie’s Sidewalk 

Cafe conducted fundraisers for ECHFH for several 

weeks and raised about $60. The grant for $500 brings 

the resident’s total repayment responsibility to $8000. 

The resident’s only income is a small Social Security 

check. Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity is working 

with her to repay the amount that she can while it seeks 

additional funding to defray the costs associated with the 

repairs.

Art in the Albemarle Area 

By:Talmage Dunn 

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer. An 

idea to help you keep cool during these hot days of 

summer would be to go to view the art in our area 

or in a nearby county or state. 

Visit the art shows, go to a museum, or visit one of 

our multiple art galleries. 

Last edition I wrote about passing along colorful stones 

to share random acts of kindness. Allow me to elucidate. I have 

been doing a lot of research to find out about this movement. I 

hope you enjoy reading about this as much as I did getting the 

story. Much to my surprise, I discovered that we have such an 

activity here in our region. Elizabeth City Rocks is the group. 

This group was started in our area by a young lady named Cloey 

McDonald. I interviewed her and her mother, Nicole McDonald, 

to get the following information. Cloey is eleven years old and 

had participated in North Augusta Rocks, (every group to which I 

belong ends with Rocks), in South Carolina. She loved the happiness 

it brought to kids in the Children”s Hospital. She was seeing 

families out together searching for painted stones. When she and 

her family moved here to Elizabeth City, she didn’t notice a lot of 

families out searching like she was used to where she lived before. 

She and her mother painted 200 rocks the first time and hid 

them around the city where they could be found. Then 200 more 

the next week, continuing until the group began to catch on and 

more and more people became involved. As a child, her mother, 

Nicole, collected rocks with her own mother. Then she and her 

siblings would spend hours painting and hiding rocks. Nicole has 

done the same with her kids. Rock painting is relaxing and fun for 

everyone to do. According to Cloey and Nicole it is fabulous to 

find a secret surprise while out on a walk or out for a bite to eat in 

the city. 

How can you get involved with rock painting? You simply 

paint a stone, then place it for others to find. There are a few 

simple concepts to rock painting. Some people use a multi-media 

type method. Here is what I do, but you can develop your 

own method, find or buy a rock or rocks (I prefer at least an egg 

shaped rock but it can be any size or shape), then spray paint 

the rock a basic color. I use acrylic paint, but some people use 

crayons (melted), colored pencils or pens to create a painting or 

design on the rock.(Always use a sealant on your painting). Put 

the name of the group on the opposite side from the picture, then 

hide it in plain sight. Hide it on a bench, beside a tree, etc.( Never 

on private property always on public property). If you find a rock, 

post pics on the group facebook page, and then keep it or place 

it somewhere else for others to find. If you keep a rock, make another 

to place somewhere else for others to enjoy the fun. Posting 

it on a fb page lets the srtist know the rock was found and appreciated. 

I have joined several rock painting groups. Check a few 

out and try to paint one or two or as Cloey has done … hundreds. 

Spread some cheer. 

Elizabeth City Rocks is home based at Studio 511 Art 

and Soul. Hope Comito Mallot has rock painting on the First Friday 

Art Walk in Elizabeth City every month. Go in and paint a rock 

then go hide it and find others that are hidden. I promise you will 

enjoy it! 

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

canvas, on paper, or on a rock! I have included one of my rock 

paintings. 

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 be to show how to create a painting using acrylics. 

Enjoy the month of July! 

Don’t forget the First Friday Art Walk in Elizabeth City. 

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

Battery Technology 

by Patricia Laddich - Tech gurl for the 20 something professional 

Earlier in 2016 the director of ARPA-E, the U.S. Department 

of Energy’s advanced research program for alternate energy, 

Ellen Williams said and was quoted by the Guardian “We 

have reached some holy grails in batteries.” The world is 

on the cusp of a signifi cant change in alternative energy and 

electric vehicles. Car manufacturers and tech companies 

are pumping money into battery advancement, and with the 

increasing pressure for races like Formula E to improve, battery 

technology is only going to get better. In facts, a number 

of startups are edging closer to producing devices that are 

compact, economical, safe, and energy-dense enough to 

store energy at the cost of less than $100 a kilowatt-hour. 

Storing energy at that price would have a stimulating effect, 

eliminating the problem of running a 24 hour grid with renewable 

energy that’s available only when the sun shines or 

the wind blows, and making electric vehicles less expensive 

and lighter. The larger the battery capacity, the lower the 

cost and the longer electric cars can run; this translates to 

less dependence on fossil fuel consumption. 

Improvement in Battery Technology and its implications 

Future developments in battery technology and a growing 

role for electric vehicles and alternative energy could be 

much closer than the market currently expects. Companies 

that are fully reliant on old technology – either companies 

that rely on fossil fuel power generations or car companies 

devoted to the internal combustion engine— will face substantial 

challenges. For instance, electric cars will require 

considerably minor maintenance because an electric motor 

has around half a dozen moving parts, compared to the 

several moving parts in an internal combustion engine. 

Furthermore, the growth in the number of self-suffi cient 

homes could undermine the role of utility companies; with 

solar power catering for the power needs of the homeowners. 

For utility companies to stay relevant, they may need 

to offer maintenance and management solutions or invest 

in charging stations to benefi t from the adoption of electric 

cars. 

A growing body of experts is currently researching battery 

constituents, with much emphasis on increasing nickel content 

on lithium oxide cathodes and silicon content increasing 

on the graphite anodes to enhance the performance and 

capacity of the battery. Consider some practical example of 

battery technology in use - 

A German project manager at Mobile Storage System in 

Elizabeth City Cosmopolitan Club 

Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is currently working on a new battery 

that could potentially give electric cars a range of about 

620 miles (1,000 km) on a single charge. 

Tesla’s latest electric car, the Model S 100D has a 100-kilowatt-hour 

battery pack, which supposedly gives it a range of 

335 miles (540 km). The battery pack is bulky, about 6 feet 

wide, 16 feet long and 4 inches thick. Also, it encloses more 

than 8,000 lithium-ion battery cells, and each cell is separately 

wrapped inside a cylinder housing measuring approximately 

2-3 inches high and about 0.8 inches across. 

In 2016 Mercedes started a program in Germany that uses 

the batteries it developed for electric vehicles, which can 

tolerate a lot of charging and discharging cycles. Mercedes 

partnered with utilities and solar companies in Germany to 

store surplus energy for future use in the home. Customers 

can install a group of solar cells on their roof, and decide 

to add up to eight 2.5 kWh batteries. This modular battery 

system allows the homeowner to store energy depending 

on how much energy is being expended and captured. The 

batteries serve as a gridlock if the grid goes down, but they 

also allow users to make the most of their solar energy. The 

modular battery system stores energy created during the 

day for later use in the evening when energy usage is often 

highest. 

Expectations for the Future 

The battery revolution is under way and you can rightly 

expect some changes in the future once the technology 

has been fully implemented. You can envision a society that 

has moved to 100% autonomous driving, which hypothetically 

should reduce car accident making the roads much 

safer. Developing cost-effective battery storage will allow 

nationwide grids to regulate infl ows of solar and wind power 

and continue to supply electricity on demand even as 

more dependable fossil fuel generation is phased out. As a 

result, renewable energy will become a much more crucial 

part of the energy mix. This could be potentially achieved 

through ‘fl ow batteries’, where energy is stored in the liquid 

electrolyte, which has the capacity to be recharged several 

times more than lithium-ion 

batteries. Second-hand batteries 

from electric vehicles can also be 

used for Grid-level storage for a 

much cheaper storage solution. 

Fossil fuel will eventually lose its 

relevance as wind and solar power 

becomes cheaper and bigger proportion 

of power generation. This 

scenario could result in a vicious 

or virtuous circle (depending on 

individual’s point of view) whereby 

continuous reduction in the capacity 

utilization for fossil fuel plants 

leads to increasing unit costs for 

fossil fuel energy, making renewables 

appear even cheaper. This 

could further stimulate greater 

investment in renewables, cutting 

down their costs even further. 

So what is changing now? 

Even though most of these advancements in battery technology 

are still mainly theoretical, however there is promise 

for the future. For instance, the battery’s energy density 

has more than doubled over the years which have led to 

reduction in the weight of battery within an electric car. In 

addition, the cost of electric vehicle battery has fallen by 

more than 90% from $1,000 per kWh to $273 and it is projected 

to fall to $109 by 2025. The technological advancement 

highlighted above is defi nitely not an exhaustive list of 

the developments that have been made, but one thing is for 

sure; electric vehicles will eventually become more common 

as batteries are improved. The impacts of advancement 

in battery technology will not only affect the transportation 

industry, but will also signifi cantly transform global energy 

markets. As batteries are improved in combination with 

renewable energy sources, the need for gas, oil and coal 

will drastically reduce. So despite the perceived failings of 

batteries, the potential global impact that even fairly moderate 

developments can have is astonishing and thus must not 

be ignored. 


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 fulfi ll those needs. That same practice 

is central to the Cosmopolitan role today in our commitment 

to our communities, our clubs and the fi ght 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 fi ght 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 fi ght 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

Albemarle Plantation Woman’s Club Generously 

Invests in Local Students 

While graduation can be a frenzied time, there was 

a different atmosphere among the (mostly) high 

school students and their mothers gathered inside 

Albemarle Plantation’s waterfront clubhouse for an 

elegant luncheon on June 14th. 

Energy and anticipation ran high as young ladies 

prepared to share their ambitions and gratitude with 

more than 40 supportive women. It brought me back 

personally to my high school graduation- when as 

the recipient of a public affairs award from a local 

women’s business group- I too experienced encouragement 

as multiple generations of women gathered 

in a spirit of harmony and cooperation. 

High school seniors Shykeisha Kee, Toni Woodward, 

Christin Castro, Taylor Green, Amanda Pulley, and 

Winter Money were awarded scholarships to further 

their collegiate education. Each young woman was 

selected on the merits of her academic aptitude, 

leadership abilities, and character strength. 

What surprised me about students’ non-corroborated 

remarks was their overlapping theme of giving back 

to the community and a their willingness to continue 

volunteering despite demanding career choices and 

clearly packed schedules. Shykeisha Kee and Winter 

Money both conveyed they would like to establish 

a scholarship fund of their own one day.

Albemarle Loop News 

Hertford and Perquimans County 

– A Short History 

by Claude Milot 

When Loopers sail into the western end of 

Albemarle Sound, they enter an area rich in 

pre-colonial history. Before English adventurers 

came down from Virginia to explore this bountiful 

land, it was inhabited by the Weapemeoc, a 

native people related linguistically and culturally 

to the Algonquians. Their territory extended from 

the Chowan River and the Albemarle Sound up 

past the Pasquotank River as far as the Dismal 

Swamp. One of the Weapemeoc villages called 

Chepanoac is thought to have been located on 

land between Yeopim River and Yeopim Creek. 

This land is directly across Yeopim Creek from 

Albemarle Plantation Marina. 

The fi rst written record of exploration 

of Albemarle Sound is in a report to Sir Walter Raleigh 

by Ralph Lane in 1586. Although there are 

few records pertaining to this region over the next 

100 years, we do know that hunters, fi shermen, 

trappers, and traders from Virginia had started to 

settle in the area, and by the 1650s, the Native 

Weapemoec were actively trading with them. 

In 1660, the Weapemoec, by then known 

as the Yeopim Indians, sold a large tract of land 

southwest of the Pasquotank River to a Virginian 

settler named Nathaniel Batts. Nathaniel Batts is 

probably best remembered for the legend that he 

maintained a trading post on Batts Island on the 

Albemarle Sound, just off the coast of what is now 

Harvey Point. Storms gradually eroded the island, 

and it was completely submerged by a hurricane 

in 1950. 

Perquimans County’s Register of Deeds 

documents the fi rst land transaction between 

George Durant and an Indian chief named Kilcocanen 

on March 1, 1661. The parcel of land 

was north of the Perquimans River. The end 

of the peninsula between the Perquimans and

Molds are usually not a problem indoors, unless 

mold spores land on a wet or damp spot and 

begin growing. Molds have the potential to 

cause health problems. Molds produce allergens 

(substances that can cause allergic reactions), 

irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances 

(mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold 

or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in 

sensitive individuals. 

Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, 

such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, 

and skin rash (dermatitis). Allergic reactions to 

mold are common. They can be immediate or 

delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in 

people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In 

addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, 

nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and 

non-allergic people. Symptoms other than the 

allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported 

as a result of inhaling mold. 

80% of most indoor mold issues begin in the 

crawl space. A damp crawl space (19% moisture 

content and above) will provide an environment 

conducive for mold growth. High moisture can 

come from lack of a vapor barrier (plastic), HVAC 

condensation, lack of air fl ow, poor drainage, 

or many other factors. Visible growth, standing 

water, musty odors and hanging insulation are 

indications that there is a problem. 

Once mold begins to grow in these conditions 

it can spread throughout a building interior. The 

initial growth can be spread more quickly once 

it gets into the HVAC system and ductwork. If 

you are experiencing any of these indicators it 

is best to call a mold professional to perform an 

assessment. Here in NENC you can call Dwelling

Pasquotank rivers is now known as Durant’s 

Neck. It is said that Durant was so popular among 

the natives, many of them adopted his name. 

Settlement of the Carolinas began in 

earnest in 1663 with a royal charter from King 

Charles II granting large tracts of land to eight 

men who became the Lords Proprietors of 

Carolina. In 1668, they established Perquimans 

Precinct (County), which became an active center 

of political activity for the Carolinas. In fact, until 

1716 the Assembly held more sessions in Perquimans 

than in any other precinct. 

Court activity was also centered in Perquimans. 

In those days court proceedings were 

generally conducted in private homes. But there 

may have been buildings used as courthouses on 

Phelps Point (now Hertford) as far back as 1700. 

Today’s handsome courthouse on Church Street 

was built in 1825 on the site of an earlier courthouse 

dating back to 1732. 

In addition to the Court activity, Phelps 

Point, because of its access to the sea, was an 

important shipping center for leather goods, furs, 

livestock, and agricultural products. For these two 

reasons, Phelps Point was incorporated as Hertford 

in 1758 and made the county seat. Loopers 

visiting Hertford can let their imaginations roam 

as they summon images of sloops and schooners 

from New England taking on cargoes of tobacco, 

corn, wheat, and lumber meant for Massachusetts 

and destinations as far south as the West 

Indies. 

The importance of Hertford as a center 

of waterborne commerce was long ago eclipsed 

by the advent of railroads and highways. But 

Hertford hasn’t forgotten its history as a thriving 

port for over 200 years. And, for sailors, it is still 

the friendliest stop on the Albemarle Loop.

PGF Archery Opens Elizabeth City Storefront with 

Tournament and Practice Space for Children and Families 

William “Bumper” Williams never imagined turning his 

life-long passion for archery into a successful career. He 

fitted bows for friends and their acquaintances. Later, his 

children became interested in archery and started shooting 

in 3D tournaments. 

Although he worked full-time, he made appointments 

connecting with people in his off-duty hours and on 

weekends. Positive reviews of his workmanship spread 

throughout the community, and archers soon drove from 

as far as one to two hours for Bumper to fit them. 

In February 2014, Bumper and his wife Adrianne 

followed their intuition and transformed their packed 

family garage into a product warehouse and workshop. It 

seemed like a stretch to branch out and launch a homebased 

business, but they did it anyway. 

As Christians, they believed God would bless their 

efforts if they continued putting him first and showing others 

how to do the same. They adopted the name “PGF,” 

an acronym for “Putting God First.” 

By Laura Bush Jenkins 

As the Lord began moving in their business and lives, 

the Williamses formed a Junior Olympic Archery team 

under the umbrella of USA Archery. With the help of a 

simple “Heart of the Outdoors” Bible and devotional, they 

shared simple Scriptures with children before practice. 

Fourteen young people soon made life-changing 

decisions to accept Jesus into their hearts and grow a 

personal relationship with Him. 

The Williamses quickly outgrew their garage set-up and 

established additional space at their home with carpeting 

and air conditioning. Then a door opened for Bumper to 

create a storefront in Elizabeth City on the north side of 

town in the Food Lion Plaza. Jamey Hurdle, a certified 

bow technician from a previous business, agreed to 

partner with Bumper to precisely fit archers’ equipment. 

A second bow technician, Scott , joined the team to 

accommodate the growing number of archers at PGF. In 

addition, fishing guru Bill Heighter helps outdoorsmen of 

all ages maximize their time and results while enjoying 

the Albemarle waters.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures 

by Jake Worthington 

One of the lines in the song “Time” by the Alan Parsons Project band says, “Goodbye my 

friend.” I will never hear that song again and not think about the memories of a friend and 

mentor I lost last April. Captain Brant Wise took me on the fi rst offshore trip of my life on 

Memorial Day 2009 aboard his charter boat the Swordfi sh. This trip only made me appreciate 

fi shing even more and stoked the fi res of my passion for fi shing. This trip on his boat 

was also a family affair and my Dad came along also. Both Brant and Dad watched me as 

I reeled in my fi rst Dolphin in which would be the fi rst of many that day. I would later learn 

that day that Swordfi sh was also the same boat my Dad went on for his fi rst offshore trip 

that his Dad took him on after he had graduated from college. I learned that the Swordfi sh 

was once the Marlin Fever when Dad fi shed on her in 1989. Talk about a small world. 

My memories of Brant and the Swordfi sh include many fi rsts. I caught my first 

Blue Marlin while fi shing in my fi rst Big Rock Marlin Tournament. When we returned to 

Teaches Lair that day, I learned what it felt like to be “creeked” when the boat was backed 

into the slip. For those of you who are not aware of this fi shing custom, this is what happens 

when you catch your fi rst billfi sh. When you return to the dock, the same people that 

a few hours ago were giving you high fi ves are now wrangling you and throwing you into 

the boat basin when you arrive at the dock. Although I didn’t like it at the time, I now look 

at it as a rite of passage. I also caught my first White Marlin on that boat with Brant. We 

shared many an adventure on that boat. It was a dark day in my life when he sold that 

boat last year. It was even darker last April when my Dad told me that Brant had passed 

away at the young age of fi fty. 

When I look back now, I have so many fond memories of fi shing with Captain 

Brant Wise. One of my favorite trips was when we went Bluefi n Tuna fi shing in March of 

2013. I have never seen so many Bluefi ns, schooling and skying out of the water after 

bait. We caught them trolling and jigging. It was a great day to fi sh and just sit back and 

watch a once in a lifetime show put on by these majestic creatures of the sea. If you were 

fi shing with Brant and the fi sh were not biting, well that is when it got entertaining. Brant 

was a practical joker, as well as a comedian, so we got free entertainment during the slow 

action periods. I will miss him, but he will always live in my memories .

Sea Fever 

BY JOHN MASEFIELD 

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely 

sea and the sky, 

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer 

her by; 

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and 

the white sail’s shaking, 

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey 

dawn breaking. 

I must go down to the seas again, for the call 

of the running tide 

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be 

denied; 

And all I ask is a windy day with the white 

clouds flying, 

And the flung spray and the blown spume, 

and the sea-gulls crying. 

I must go down to the seas again, to the 

vagrant gypsy life, 

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where 

the wind’s like a whetted knife; 

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing 

fellow-rover, 

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the 

long trick’s over.

Digging for the Truth 

By Scott Dawson 

The mythology of the lost colony began in 1937 with 

Paul Green’s play. The idea that 117 colonists were left 

on Roanoke Island and vanished without a clue was 

created to sell tickets and create a mystery. Prior to 

the play no one considered the colony lost, in fact most 

people had never heard of the colony at all before the 

play immortalized them. The play therefore is a double 

edge sword, it immortalized a period in history but at 

the same time completely overshadowed the actual 

history with fictional drama. For example, the colony 

was never lost, Manteo and Wanchese were not chiefs 

nor were either of them from Roanoke Island and they 

never fought each other. 

So what really happened? To understand the fate of 

the colony one must understand the voyages that came 

from England to America before the 1587 colony. One 

must understand the historical context, the situation 

that colony was left in when the Governor departed to 

get supplies. We all know the Governor John White 

instructed the colony to carve the name of where they 

relocated to on a tree or door frame and to put a cross 

under it if they left for danger. We also know that when 

White returned in 1590 he found the word CROATOAN 

carved in all capital letters on a palisade that surrounded 

where the settlement had been but the houses, 

boats and colonists were gone. 

Croatoan is Hatteras Island and is the first place the 

English actually landed in 1584. It was on Croatoan 

that they first met Manteo and on Croatoan that the 

English lived for 6 weeks in 1584 and for a few months 

in 1585. The English had a good relationship with the 

Croatoan. Perhaps this is why in 1587 when one of the 

“lost” colonists (George Howe) was killed on Roanoke 

the Governor sent Manteo and 25 Englishmen to Croatoan 

to find out who had killed him and if peace could be 

made. The Croatoan hosted the English to a feast and 

told them it was the Secotan tribe that had killed Howe. 

Upon reconnecting with the Croatoan White wrote: 

“We answered them [Croatoan] that our coming was 

only to renew the old love that had existed between us 

and them at the first and to live among them as brethren 

and friends.” 

This made since because the Secotan had also 

attacked a group of 15 Englishmen in 1586 killing two 

of them. It is not that the Secotan were blood thirsty 

savages, the English had murdered the Secotan chief, 

Wingina and burned down a Secotan village in 1585 

starting the conflict. The Croatoan and Secotan were 

mortal enemies too. In 1587, before White left the 

Croatoan raided a Secotan village where Mann’s harbor 

is today and stole all the corn, pumpkins and shared it 

with the English. 

When White saw Croatoan carved on the palisade 

there was no doubt in his mind the colony had gone to 

Croatoan, their only ally in the New World and a place 

the English had lived before. He stated 

“The next morning it was agreed by the captain, 

myself with the master and others to weigh 

anchor and go for the place at Croatoan where 

our planters were.” 

Unfortunately a storm rolled up and blew 

White and 23 miles out to sea. John White had 

hitched a ride with what amounted to pirates. 

They were not concerned with the colony and 

wanted to go home. Seven of them had already 

died including Captain Spicer, John White’s 

only real friend on the ship. When he died so 

did White’s influence over the crew and they 

headed home shipwrecking in Ireland. White 

later wrote to Queen Elizabeth’s court historian, 

Richard Hyklut: 

“I was greatly joyed that I had safely found a 

certain a token of their safe being at Croatoan, 

which is the place where Manteo was born and 

the savages of the Island our friends.” 

There is absolutely no reason to think the colony did not 

go to Croatoan because the historical documents are 

very straight forward about it. Conversely, the adjacent 

mainland was at war with the English and had already 

killed one of the colonists by shooting him sixteen times 

with arrows and smashing his brains in with a club. 

The real mystery is why no one ever looked for the colony 

in their stated destination. Alas some professional 

finally have taken a look at Hatteras Island. Digging 

in one of the many Croatoan village sites that dot the 

land between Buxton and Hatteras village, 16th century 

English artifacts HAVE BEEN FOUND in the Croatoan 

villages. They are on display in Hatteras village under 

the care of the Croatoan Archaeological Society (CAS) 

and were dug up by Dr. Mark Horton of the University 

of Bristol, England. Bristol and the CAS have been conducting 

digs for 10 years and continue to find thousands 

of artifacts. 

The only problem is that since the English lived and 

traded with the Croatoan in 1584 and 1585 and 1587 

it is hard to determine exactly on which voyage these 

artifacts came to Croatoan. Common sense tells you 

the colony went to Croatoan but proving it for sure may 

take a few more digs. The oral history of the Hatteras 

tribe told John Lawson in 1701 that: 

“Several of their ancestors were white people who 

could speak out of a book as we do the truth of which is 

confirmed by gray eyes being found frequently amongst 

these Indians and no others….an uncontested truth 

amongst the inhabitants of this place: which is that 

the ship which brought the first colonies does appear 

among them which they call Sir Walter Raleigh’s ship 

and the truth of this has been affirmed to me by men of 

the best credit in the country.” 

If one can forget the mythology about the colony being lost and 

focus on the real history both written and oral as well as the archaeology, 

it is no longer a mystery and for that matter never was. Go to 

Hatteras and see the artifacts for yourself, it is free. They are in the 

community building behind the Hatteras Library. Keep an eye out for 

National Geographic, Travel Channel and Discovery Channel, which 

have all been covering the archaeology on Hatteras. The most in 

depth coverage however is in the documentary “Finding Croatoan” by 

Rain Bennette, which will be out next year. 

As a teacher I encourage anyone interested in any aspect of history 

to read the primary sources. Look at any science that has been done 

and don’t get your information from popular fiction. What you will find 

is the truth and the truth about the colony is they were never lost.

what happens in it and what happened to 

them when they read it. Refugee is a timely, 

important and engaging novel that every

Elizabeth City / Outer Banks 

member of the Outer Banks community can 

benefit from reading. It sheds a bright light on

Let’s Talk Tuna! 

By Rosie Hawthorne 

I love a good tuna steak and I just happen to have some wickedly 

good recipes for you – from seared fillets to salad. 

For pan-seared tuna, select fillets that are at least an inch thick. 

Lightly seasoned them in a mixture of white and black sesame 

seeds, a sprinkling of cayenne pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. 

In a heavy skillet, melt a tablespoon or so of unsalted butter with 

an equal amount of peanut oil over medium high heat. Butter is for 

flavor. Oil is to raise the smoke point of butter. When the butter 

gets foamy and sizzly, add in the fillets. Cook 1 – 1 ½ minutes each 

side for rare. Two-three minutes for medium. With tuna, the meat 

flakes apart and you can spread it slightly open and see the cooking 

progress. When meat is cooked to your tastes, remove from pan. 

If you’d like to deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine, I would 

never stop you. Just take the pan away from the heat when you 

pour in the wine. Return to heat, tilt the pan, and flambé for a bit 

of pyrotechnic flair. When the flame dies, add some lemon juice, 

some capers, and another pat of butter (for extra richness) to the 

pan. Stir until butter is melted. Pour sauce over fillets and serve. 

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. 

Tuna salad, whether in a sandwich, on a lettuce leaf, 

or on a Ritz, is a wonderful thing. And I’m giving you 

Mr. Hawthorne’s recipe. Please don’t tell him. 

Mr. Hawthorne’s Tuna Salad 

1 lb. tuna fillet 

⅓ cup sweet pickle relish 

1 stick celery, minced 

⅓ – ½ cup mayonnaise, to taste 

Cut tuna into small chunks – about 1-inch cubes. Drop 

into boiling, salted water. Cook about two minutes, until 

tuna flakes, or water comes back to a boil. Drain tuna 

and cool quickly under cold running water. The tuna will 

pretty much fall apart. Add rest of ingredients and mix 

well. 

You’re welcome. 

And please enjoy!

NEW CODE TALKERS EXHIBIT AT FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM 

A new exhibit recently added at the Frisco Native American Museum 

& Natural History Center has generated a great deal of interest. 

In a U shaped space fi lled with military hats, two fi gures evoke 

memories of World War II. The kneeling soldier represents a Native 

American code talker– a warrior with a very special mission. Native 

Americans have the highest record of military service of any ethnic 

group in the U.S. The title of “warrior” must be earned and represents 

much more than fi ghting enemies. It is granted to individuals 

who are respected and celebrated for demonstrating strength, 

dedication, wisdom and courage in all matters. 

A number of Choctaw soldiers demonstrated those qualities during 

World War l. At a desperate time for America, the Choctaw used 

their native language to create an accurate and unbreakable code. 

During the war, a total of 12 other Native American nations joined 

them to use their languages, and code talking was expanded during 

World War II to include a total of 33 different nations. Their codes 

were never broken and were responsible for saving countless lives. 

In 2013 Congressional Gold Medals with a unique design were 

awarded to each tribe. At the ceremony Senate Majority Leader 

Harry Reid said: “In this nation’s hour of greatest need . . . the 

United States turned to a people and a language they had tried to 

eradicate.” 

In addition to the head gear donated by Native Americans serving 

in the military, the museum exhibit includes samples of medals and 

provides opportunities for individuals to participate by donating medals 

that are currently not on display. 

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.

National Park Service and Dare County Urge Visitors to Use Caution When Attempting to Access New Sandbar 

Over the last two to three months, a large sandbar has formed off Cape 

Hatteras National Seashore (Seashore) in the Cape Point area. Due to the 

number of recent water rescues the Hatteras Island Rescue Squad has 

made between the tip of Cape Point and the sandbar, the National Park 

Service and Dare County are urging all park visitors to use caution when 

attempting to access the offshore sandbar. 

The Cape Point area is a highly dynamic location that is constantly changing 

through both erosion and accretion of sand. Currents between Cape 

Point and offshore sandbars can be very strong; therefore, the Seashore 

does not recommend that visitors swim or wade to these areas. The life 

guarded beaches at Coquina Beach, Hatteras Lighthouse Beach, and the 

Ocracoke Day Use Area Beach are excellent choices for swimming, especially 

when conditions bring dangerous rip currents to the area. 

If interested in accessing the new sandbar, Seashore Superintendent 

David Hallac states that, “traveling to the sandbar is best accomplished by 

experienced kayakers or paddle boarders that are using appropriate flotation 

and mindful of the tides and strong currents in the area.”

Boys and Girls Club Offers Summer Enrichment Program in Elizabeth City and Edenton 


As the kids are out of school for summer vacation, you 

may be looking for an affirming environment where your 

children can grow personally and make friends. 

The Boys and Girls Club of the Albemarle- with centers 

in Elizabeth City and Edenton-provides opportunities for 

students in kindergarten through eighth grade to partake 

in physical activities, special trips, and even”Power Hour” 

tutoring. 

Whether it is learning to swim or practicing table manners 

during lunchtime conversations, Boys and Girls Clubs emphasize 

core values of character, scholastic success, and 

healthy lifestyles. 

“Everybody remembers that favorite teacher when you 

were in school,” mentions director Elizabeth Jenkins Mitchell, 

MSW. 

“Our goal is to build students’ confidence and praise them 

for something they do well, so they ultimately recognize 

their capabilities.” 

Mitchell-a mother of two- enrolls her twelve year old son 

Charlie in the Edenton program. He enjoys..........(perhaps 

add he has been attending for 2/4 years...) 

Overseeing two Boys and Girls Clubs- which merged last 

year- is a fulfilling career for Mitchell and offers her the 

potential to make a difference. 

Elizabeth Jenkins Mitchell and the staff are grateful for 

the helping hand of churches in Edenton who provide 

lunches to students year round. Elizabeth City’s club is 

presently in need of a long-term kitchen as it continues 

feeding a growing number of children in its space with the 

Police Athletic League in the former Elizabeth City Middle 

School building. 

If you would like to enroll your child in upcoming summer 

activities, apply in person at 306 North Road Street in Elizabeth 

City or 824 North Oakum Street and take a visit. 

Or, perhaps you have the ability to showcase an artistic 

talent or teach students a useful skill. The Boys and Girls 

Club of the Albemarle values your contribution of time and 

resources. 

Laura Bush Jenkins-author of Undercover Patriot- is the 

mother of two small boys and is married to a US Army 

veteran.

Northeast North Carolina Family History 

The opening of the new water park in Currituck 

reminded me of my husband’s summer adventures 

off a wharf in Waterlily that stretched into 

the Currituck Sound. For him and his friends, 

swimming at Penn’s wharf was their version of 

a water park. Admission was free. For refreshment, 

they ran down the road and ate green 

apples off an old tree nearby. 

There were a variety of “rides” in their “park” 

which included diving off the end of the dock, 

swimming in between the barnacles on the 

pilings (which resulted in scraped hands, knees 

and feet), and playing tag in the murky water 

while trying to stay submerged as long as possible. 

Girls sitting on the wharf were a favorite 

target of a really good cannonball. 

On occasion, milfoil, an aquatic plant similar 

to seaweed, would die and create mats a foot 

or more thick fl oating around the wharf and 

the shoreline. But not allowing this to dampen 

their summer fun, they played hide and seek, 

popping up through it. This was not a simple 

task as they had to claw their way through it, 

which he admits was sometimes scary. (My 

what strange fun things those young Currituck 

boys called fun…) 

Getting to their “water park” was its own 

adventure. Riding their bikes on US 158 which 

at the time was a busy two lane road without a 

paved shoulder, he and his friends left Coinjock, 

Kayak sales and rentals 

Trailer parts & accessories 

Extensive inventory of 

marine grade stainless

We have thousands of marine supply and water 

sports items available next day free shipping. 

We have a large inventory, and can get almost 

anything West Marine carries next day with NO 

shipping cost. We have a delivery truck straight

crossed the old Coinjock drawbridge, turned left 

onto Waterlily Road and after turning a curve 

faced a straight stretch of road across a vast 

marsh which he swears seemed ten miles long. 

In reality, it might be two… But in the summer, 

the heat waves shimmering over the road hid 

the far end. The reward of arriving at “their” 

wharf made all the effort worthwhile. 

Learning to swim did not require formal lessons. 

A brief demonstration of how to kick and 

paddle and then off to playing and sputtering 

became eventual reasonably acceptable swimming. 

All that is left of their favorite swimming 

hole today, are a few weathered stobs of wood 

sticking out of the water. 

Just down the shoreline, sixty years earlier, 

my husband’s grandfather, Osborne David 

Hampton, was a small boy playing on his 

father’s wharf. This was a working wharf, and 

cart with a mast and sail was used to bring 

goods from boats to his father, William Henry 

Hampton’s store. In the early 1900’s, National 

Geographic had an article about how the wind 

was used to assist in work along the coast of 

North Carolina. This article featured a picture 

of O. D. Hampton and his sister on their father’s 

wharf. He was in front of the cart while his sister 

is almost hidden seated on the cart. I have 

the picture and the article – somewhere. (We 

are in the midst of moving so there are a few 

too many boxes to look through.) 

My summer water stories pale in comparison. 

I learned to swim from a certifi ed Red Cross 

instructor with a class of students in a regular 

swimming pool. The pool was part of the Cave 

and Basin situated next to the sulfur cave that 

sparked the creation of Banff National Park. 

Sadly the strongest memory I have of the lessons 

is that I turned 12 on Friday the 13th of the 

month I was taking classes and I thought how 

cool it would have been if I was a year older to 

have turned 13 on Friday the 13th! 

I do recall riding out to a local lake with a 

girlfriend on our ten-speeds to fl oat around 

one summer afternoon. One does not swim in 

mountain lakes if you are planning on having 

fun – they generally don’t warm above seriously 

cold. On occasion my family would go 

to Sylvan Lake in central Alberta to a relative’s 

summer cottage, but it was so shallow for so far 

that I don’t remember any of us ever swimming.

Diversify Your Investments … But Consolidate Your Providers 

You have probably heard that diversifi cation is a key to investment success. 

So, you might think that if diversifying your investments is a good 

idea, it might also be wise to diversify your investment providers – after 

all, aren’t two (or more) heads better than one? 

Before we look at that issue, let’s consider the fi rst half of the “diversifi cation” 

question – namely, how does diversifying your investment portfolio 

help you? 

Consider the two broadest categories of investments: stocks and bonds. 

Stock prices will move up and down in response to many different factors, 

including good or bad corporate earnings, corporate management issues, 

political developments and even natural disasters. Bond prices are not 

immune to these dynamics, but they are usually more strongly driven by 

changes in interest rates. To illustrate: If your existing bond pays 2 percent 

interest, and new bonds are being issued at 3 percent, the value of your 

bond will fall, because no one will pay you full price for it. (Of course, it 

may not matter to you anyway, especially if you planned to hold your bond 

until maturity, at which point you can expect to get your full investment 

back, providing the bond issuer doesn’t default.) 

Here’s the key point: Stocks and bonds often move in different directions. 

If you only own U.S. stocks, you could take a big hit during a market 

downturn, but if you own domestic and international stocks, bonds, government 

securities, certifi cates of deposit and other types of investments, 

your portfolio may be better protected against market volatility, and you’ll 

have more opportunities for positive results. 

(Keep in mind, though, that even a diversifi ed portfolio can’t prevent all 

losses or guarantee profi ts.) So, it clearly is a good idea to diversify 

your investment portfolio. Now, let’s move on to diversifying fi nancial 

service providers.

Why shouldn’t you have one IRA here and another one there, or enlist 

one advisor to help you with some types of investments and a different 

advisor assisting you with others? 

Actually, some good reasons exist to consider consolidating all your 

investment accounts with one provider. For one thing, you’ll keep better 

track of your assets. 

Many people do misplace or forget about some of their savings and 

investments, but this will be far less likely to happen to you if you hold all 

your accounts in one place. 

Also, if you have accounts with several different fi nancial service providers, 

you might be incurring a lot of paperwork – and many fees. You can 

cut down on clutter and expense by consolidating your accounts. 

But most important, by placing all your accounts with a single provider, 

possibly under the supervision of a single fi nancial advisor, you will 

fi nd it much easier to follow a single, unifi ed investment strategy, based 

on your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. You won’t get confl icting 

advice and you’ll receive clear guidance on important issues, such as 

the amounts you can afford to withdraw each year from your retirement 

accounts once you do retire. 

Diversifi cation and consolidation – one is good for building an investment 

portfolio, while the other can help you invest more effi ciently and effectively. 

Put the two concepts together, and make them work for you.

New Exhibit Coming to MOA 

By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle 

wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov 

Beginning in early July, the Museum of the Albemarle (MOA) will open its 

newest exhibit, Flying Kites with Delia. The exhibit tells the history of kites 

and their usage in northeastern North Carolina as told by the narrator, Delia, 

a delta kite. The exhibit is written for elementary ages children with historical 

images and colorful sketches. Did you know that kites have been around 

for thousands of years? No one knows when or how or why the world’s first 

kite was fl own, but one legend suggests that a farmer from China was the 

fi rst person to fly a kite. Visitors will also learn that Orville and Wilbur Wright 

experimented with kites to help them perfect the airplane and that kiting 

competitions are held around the world in locations such as Egypt, France, 

and Australia. Contributions of graphics and research to the exhibit from 

institutions such as the National Air and Space Museum and the Library of 

Congress were very valuable in making this exhibit possible. The Museum of 

the Albemarle extends its greatest thanks to artist Tyler Rivas for the wonderful 

sketches and to Kitty Hawk Kites for the donation of the kites. 

Flying Kites with Delia is also traveling exhibition created by MOA so it can 

be loaned to local institutions including libraries and state parks. Two kites, 

compliments of Kitty Hawk Kites, accompanies the eleven panels. All panels 

are usually hung using gravity cleats and screws or we can adjust based on 

your hanging system. To learn more about how this free exhibit can travel to 

your venue please contact the Museum of the Albemarle at 252-335-1453. 

The Final Frontier 

by Ron Ben Dov 

I travelled the seven seas, climbed the 

highest mountains 

I searched underwater, all over the land, 

and in rarifi ed air 

I found fishes, lobsters, and so many 

creatures of the sea 

Elephants, tigers, lions, wolves, and so many more 

I saw birds fl ying high and riding the 

thermals effortlessly 

Yet not once did I spot the Way, the Truth, 

or the Life 

While I was searching for the one known as Christ, 

He and the angels were looking for me 

I explored to the east, to the west, to the north 

Then I turned around and headed south 

Border after border I crossed and I checked 

Then I found this one really old book 

Passed on to my ancestors many years ago 

It was a message for me and all of my kin 

For God so loved the world, he gave 

His only begotten son 

It spoke of God’s love for all of His people 

And that’s how I learned, Heaven is the 

fi nal frontier 

For once I cross its borders, and pass through 

the gates 

I will fi nally be safe and living in love, for Jesus 

He rules 

With grace, love, compassion, and 

He welcomed me home. 

Making memories 

by Pastor Dan Bergey 

Something that I have learned over the years is that memories are a 

part of what shapes us, good and bad ones. Sometimes those memories 

get locked away until something happens and brings them back to the 

surface. Often it’s the little things in life that end up meaning the most to 

us later in life. It’s not the stuff that we had that is important but instead 

the things that we did. The times we spent together as a family, the times 

we helped someone in need, the times that we were there for someone 

when they needed us the most. We try to lock away and forget the bad 

things. The bad things are just as important in shaping us as the good. 

We need to learn from the bad and not dwell on it. Give everything to 

God, the good and the bad. Don’t let situations control who and what you 

are. In a way it’s like this with God. He remembers what we did too. He 

remembers when we spend time with him, when we help people, when 

we do everything. The best part is that when we turn our lives over to God 

and ask for forgiveness, he forgets our bad stuff. Psalm 25:7 says “Do not 

remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According to Your 

loving kindness remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.” It’s 

important to spend time with your family and make memories, but it’s even 

more important to spend time with God and make memories with him. As 

you are out this summer “making memories” with your family, don’t forget 

to spend time with God too. 

Psalm 98:3 He has remembered His loving kindness and His faithfulness 

to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of 

our God.

Its that time again... the summer heat is upon us, as we try to 

keep cool and wait for the evening breeze to waft over us...we 

need to check our equipment. Do some of that maintenance that 

you may have been putting off. Now is the time to check our tree 

stands. Check to make sure the stand is in proper order if you are 

using a climbing stand, check the nuts and bolts and tree connections. 

If you are using a ladder stand check the connections and 

points of contact with the tree. Does your tree stand need to be 

replaced ? After all, your life may depend on the safeness of that 

stand. Too many hunters fall out of tree stands or have them 

collapse. How about your safety harness? Is it in working order? 

Your life does depend on that piece of equipment. If it needs to 

be replaced … do so immediately! 

It is also time also to scout your territory. What are the 

summer patterns for the deer in your hunting area? Are you 

hunting any new areas? Are you planning to hunt one or more of 

the many Gamelands our great State has to offer ? If so now is 

the time to go out visit and familiarize yourself with those areas. 

Do not wait until a week or so before the season begins. You 

will be doing yourself a disservice. Make scouting fun, take your 

hunting buddies with you into the fi eld. Do a little roving (stump 

shooting) while scouting. Better yet, take a child with you, introduce 

him/her to hunting. Include a camera in your foray and take 

some pictures of the area now, again in four weeks or so, then 

four weeks more take the same shots to see what has changed. 

Take a notebook, note the trees, (what type..are there any white 

acorn trees or fruit trees?), write down details. Note the trails in 

the area, are there secondary or tertiary trails adjacent? These 

are the trails that the bucks will be traveling. What places will 

make good stand positions? Will you use a ground blind? If using 

a ground blind. Lay the foundation now and build it up as you 

make other scouting trips. Build one at home to practice out of. 

Don’t take a chance on a bad shot because you haven’t practiced 

shooting from your blind or stand. 

Bow fi shing for most archers is in full swing. Have you 

tried your hand at bow fi shing? I can tell you ,from my perspective, 

it is a lot of fun. When that arrow connects with the fish get 

ready for an awesome feeling... and fi ght, especially if you are 

pulling the fi sh in by hand. There are several bow fi shing reels 

on the market. Some are just like the reels on your fi shing rods, 

some are like discs that you wrap the line around, and opthers 

are home made. Check out the type of reel that will fi t your bow 

fi shing needs. I hope some of you made it to the NCBA Bow Fishing 

Bash in June. It is an annual gathering, if you didn’t get to go 

this year... maybe you can make it to next year’s Bash. 

The annual NCBA picnic will be coming in August at the 

new campgrounds and property. If you get the opportunity come 

on out. We will be talking bowhunting, arrow placement, and just 

having a great time. 

Respectfully submitted.

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

By Dr. Dave 

Elmira Prison – Elmira, NY was better known as “Hellmira” opened 

on July of 1864. It quickly became infamous for its staggering death 

rate, unfathomable living conditions, and for its sadistic commandant, 

Col. William Hoffman (one who deserved to be hung for war 

crimes more than Henry Wirz). Hoffman forced confederate prisoners 

to sleep outside in the open while furnishing them little to no 

shelter, prisoners were left to rely upon their own ingenuity for constructing 

drafty and largely inadequate shelters consisting of sticks, 

blankets, and logs. 

Elmira prison had at the least listed 9,000 prisoners confi ned to a 

camp designed to hold 4,000-5,000. 

Two observation towers were erected right outside the prison walls. 

For 15 cents, Yankee civilian spectators could observe the wretched 

prisoners within the compound. When winter struck Elmira in 

late 1864, prisoners lacking blankets and clad in rags collapsed in 

droves from exposure. By early December, half naked men stood 

ankle deep in snow to answer the morning roll call. A one acre 

lagoon of stagnant water within the 30 acre stockade served as 

a latrine and garbage dump for all, giving rise to disease. Scurvy 

and diarrhea took many lives. By November 1864 pneumonia had 

reached plague proportions. An epidemic of small pox broke out a 

month later and remained an ever-present killer. Repeated request 

for badly needed medicines from Yankee doctors were fl atly ignored 

by Washington offi cials. By December 1864 with a lack of beds 

70 men were lying on bare cold and fi lthy fl oors and another 200 

diseased and dying men lay in the regular prison quarters, contaminating 

their semi-healthy comrades. In February 1865 Elmira held 

9,000 prisoners of which 1,400 were sick and 500 died. In March 

of 1865, 16 prisoners were dying each day. The monthly death 

rate however topped the one held at Andersonville Prison in GA. 

As a result the confederate prisoners spent their winter shivering 

in the biting cold and their summers in sweltering, pathogen-laden 

heat. Overcrowding was yet again a major problem, although 

Yankee leadership mandated on paper a ceiling of 4,000 prisoners 

at Elmira, reality was completely the opposite. Within a month of its 

opening those numbers had swelled to 12,123 men and by the time 

the last prisoners were released and left to get back home, on their 

own by their own initiative. By September of 1865, close to 3,000 

men had perished, with a death rate approaching 25%. Elmira was 

one of the deadliest operated P.O.W. camps of the entire war.
