Doctor Zhivago
Doctor Zhivago is a novel by Boris Pasternak, first published in
1957 in Italy. The novel is named after its protagonist, Yuri Zhivago,
a physician and poet, and takes place between the Russian Revolution
of 1905 and the Civil War. Due to its independent minded
stance on the October Revolution, Doctor Zhivago was refused
publication in the USSR. At the instigation of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli,
the manuscript was smuggled to Milan and published in 1957.
Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature the following
year, an event which embarrassed and enraged the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union. The novel was made into a film by David Lean
in 1965, and since then has twice been adapted for television, most
recently as a miniseries for Russian TV in 2006. In 2014 declassified
documents show that the United States Central Intelligence Agency
used Doctor Zhivago as a tool to provoke dissent in the USSR. A
CIA memo from April 1958 described the “great propaganda value”
and discussed providing support for having the novel printed in
Russian, and distributing Western translations within the Soviet
Union. The memo stated that the book was “a passive but piercing
exposition of the effect of the Soviet system on the life of a sensitive
intelligent citizen.” The CIA memo noted that the book is valuable
“not only for its intrinsic message and thought-provoking nature,
but also for the circumstances of its publication: we have the
opportunity to make Soviet citizens wonder what is wrong with
their government, when a fine literary work by the man acknowledged
to be the greatest living Russian writer is not even available in
his own country in his own language for his own people to read”.

I’ve been promoting the concept of the “Organic Capital of the World” for a few months now. It fits with
my motto, “Let medicine be your food,and let food be your medicine”. As our environment becomes more
and more polluted, more and antibiotics are used. Our nation’s food policy is risk based . Risk based means
that it is not zero tolerant. The implication is that if the food product is not labeled natural, or certified
organic, it won’t be as wholesome nor nutritious.
Risk based also allows food manufacturers to use questionable additives and processing to extend shelf life
and maximize profits. They argue through their lobbyist that consumers have the option to purchase a legal
food product as long as it’s properly identified and meets the established regulatory standards. That comes
with a lot of caveats. How a product is identified is critical to your well being.
My perspective on food safety and food labeling comes from a career of ten years as a N.Y.S and USDA field
Inspector, and fifteen years as Supervisory Food Technologist in the Food Labeling Division (FLD), Food
Safety Inspection Service (FSIS), at USDA headquarters. My professional career was all about
understanding and protecting the nation’s food chain.
Cancer Treatment Updates
Here’s a quote from cancer immunologist Dr Drew Pardoll of the Sidney Kimmel Institute at Johns Hopkins
“Immune therapy is a game changer We need more research to take us the rest of the distance, but we
don’t think there is a single cancer that the patients own immune system ultimately can’t beat”
This is a powerful statement from one of the top cancer researchers in the world. Their assertion is that
many cancers have a dietary link. The immune system is an integral part of the digestive system.

Foreman Community Garden Open House
There is always something to do in a garden. Master
Gardener volunteers labor at the Foreman House
Community Demonstration/Learning Garden and they
would like the community to see the fruits of their labors.
The Foreman House Community Demonstration/
Learning Garden will hold its second annual “Open
House in the Garden” on July 13 from 5-7 pm behind
the Foreman House Bed & Breakfast on Church Street.
The Open House will feature children’s activities, food tastings, and a composting demonstration.
One of the 18 raised beds has been reserved for children’s activities during the open house.
Children will be able to use trowels and cultivators to dig for play worms and bugs hidden in the soil. There
will also be seeds for children to plant.
In addition to the raised beds, the garden includes a perimeter garden and a large pollinator garden. The
garden includes various gardening techniques such as vertical, hay bale and
container gardening.
Susan Hankinson is chairperson of the committee that oversees the garden says, “The number of hours volunteers
spend in the garden varies with the season, but during the growing season it
probably averages 15 to 20 hours a week.”
Produce from the garden is donated to the Food Bank of the Albemarle.
Last year, over 1200 pounds of fresh produce were donated to the Food Bank.

Orthodox Christianity THE WEIGHT OF ETERNITY St. George’s Orthodox Church, Edenton, N.C.
cordially invites you to come and
“Catch a glimpse of the Beauty and Sacred Mystery of
I remember my dog, when he was a new puppy—the first time he saw a body of water bigger than his
water bowl. We’d came upon a lake on a day when its surface was as still as glass. Presuming to walk
across that smooth surface, in a single stride, to his great surprise, he found himself submerged up to his
ears! Such, I think, are we humans, as we step out into each moment of every day.
We move, sometimes smoothly, sometimes uneasily, through the years and the seconds. We remember a
few of the moments. But most of them seem to be of no consequence, and they soon drift into forgetfulness.
But don’t we sometimes, once in a while—maybe a few times in a life—sense that there’s something
larger afoot? That these little, mundane moments, if our vision were equal to the task, open onto unimaginable
vistas? That we’re only scratching the surface of something vast, something far beyond our
understanding? If we speak honestly, there are few—vanishingly few of us—who have never known
such a sense.
Yet the Mind of the Time would deny the truth of this sense. Nihilism—the foundation upon which
the contemporary cultural mind rests—would assert the magisterium of the individual will, and deny
the possibility (or, at least, the relevance) of any larger truth. The appeal of such a stance, of course, is
that, if there’s no final frame of reference, I can adopt any world view that suits my purpose, scoff at
anyone who would upbraid me, and indulge my passions without restraint.
But how many of us, in our moments of deepest knowing, can embrace such a vision? How many, with
integrity, can live according to Nihilism’s self-indulging code?
Of course, a rejection of Nihilism, comes at a cost—and no small cost! Indeed, to live a life of integrity
and purposeful self-restraint in the face of a hostile culture, requires more insight and backbone than
most people can marshal. Because to acknowledge the reality of a higher, of a larger vision, requires that
I undertake the labor of conforming my life to that vision, of orienting my life in the direction of its
current, toward beginning to enter into its life. Yet, having once seen with clarity the fact of the matter,
how can one shrink from the struggle?
Are the moments of my life ultimately meaningless? Is this life in which I find myself, in the last analysis,
a farce? Is the love, the pain, the horror, the beauty of this ephemeral existence through which we
pass, both individually and collectively, only an absurdity? Were absurdity the truth of things, I would
be right to reject all order and to devote myself to the consolation of forgetfulness in the passions. But,
if, indeed, these moments open onto a higher truth, onto eternity; then each moment is infused with
eternity. Each is a fulcrum upon which swings my eternal destiny. In such a life, each moment acquires
a luminosity, a portent, a power, an awareness of beauties and horrors that matter, both now
and eternally.
In the words of Alexander Schmemann:
And then, in the light of the approaching encounter with Christ, how serious and how grave becomes
the day I have to spend in the usual occupations….Every word I say, every act I perform, every thought
passing through my mind becomes important, unique, irreversible, and either each is “in line” with my
expectation of Christ or in opposition to it. Time itself, which we usually “waste” so easily, is revealed in
its true meaning as the time of either salvation or damnation. Our whole life becomes that which it was
made by Christ’s coming into this world—ascension to him, or running away from Him into darkness
and destruction.

Far more people get into trouble over having a concealed weapon when they interact with a law-enforcement officer
than they do actually using the weapon. Please take a few minutes to refresh your understanding of the laws and
avoid trouble.
NCGS 14-269 states that it is unlawful to “carry concealed about his or her person” any weapon, etc. while not on
their own premises. There are two elements of the offense to be concerned about: Concealed and About The Person.
“Concealed” means hidden or not readily discernible from sight. The courts have looked to the intent of the law,
which is to protect law enforcement officers, in determining what constitutes “About” your person, and the general
consensus is that the weapon must be within easy reach of the concealer, so that it could possibly be used against an
unsuspecting officer. A weapon under the front seat of a car is within easy reach of the driver, and is therefore illegal,
but one in the trunk is not.
The problem usually arises in the gray areas. A concealed gun in the back cargo area of a station wagon/SUV is clearly
not “about” the person of the driver, but it is within easy reach of a back seat passenger. A pistol jammed between
the front seat and the console will usually get the driver charged with violating the law, despite the fact that exactly as
much of the gun is showing as it would be if carried openly in a belt holster. The State’s argument in that case is always
that the officer can see the whole hip holster as the carrier walks down the street, so the presence of a weapon is open
and obvious, but not so when looking into a car. The general rule for whether a weapon is “concealed” within a vehicle
is whether an officer walking up and looking into the car can readily see it.

The law provides an exception for people possessing a handgun under a valid concealed carry permit as long as the
carrier operates within the constraints of the law. You can’t carry in a courthouse, or government buildings in general.
You can’t carry with ANY alcohol or non-prescription controlled drugs in your system. If you are going out to have
even a glass of wine with dinner, be safe and lock it in the trunk of your car until you get home.
NCGS 14-415.11 provides that when when you are carrying, and when approached or addressed by a law
enforcement officer, you must tell the officer that you have the weapon. Use common sense here. If you have a weapon
in your vehicle and you are standing outside 20 feet away, then the law does not require you to mention the weapon.
(Depending on the circumstances, it may be a good idea to mention it, but you are not required to.) But if you have
to go into the vehicle while the officer is there, such as to retrieve your drivers license, then tell the officer about the
presence of the weapon, especially if you have to go near it.
(It should be stressed that, although it may be legal to carry the weapon in another state under the reciprocity
provisions between the states, the other state’s laws regarding prohibited places and practices may not be the same as
ours. The most common example of this is that some states forbid concealed weapons on any premises where alcohol is
served, regardless of whether the carrier is drinking. When in doubt, don’t do it.)
When talking to the officer, keep both hands where they can be seen. Tell the officer where the weapon is, but don’t
reach for it. Tell him you have a permit, but don’t reach for it unless instructed to. Remember, it’s all about making
sure the officer knows you are being forthcoming about the weapon, and that you have no intention of using it against
him. You carry the weapon to prevent harm to yourself. All the officer wants out of the encounter is the same thing.

Art and The Princess
By: Tina Clancy
This past week I had a very special customer…the mother of a Three (3) year old daughter who
wanted a special piece of furniture done for her daughter….”A PINK AND GOLD PRINCESS
DRESSER” (yes, bright pink!) And to make things even more interesting, the piece she wanted me
to paint, was a beautiful Tiger Oak two drawer Dresser. (picture #1) As an artist you probably are
thinking I would jump at this chance….but I am also a lover of original refinished looking
furiniture….so I was completely TORN.
I began the sanding, then the priming, then the golding, then the PINK, lots and lots of PINK.
And we also did a solid distressed “gold glitter” top. Over the top “Princess” (picture #2)
This was a fun project that came out much better than I had anticipated it would look.
I actually look forward to my next lively “color” piece!

Dear Dr. Crime: I read about our kids becoming terrorists and going over to join ISIS. Why do they
do that? Sgt. American
Dear Sgt. American:
Everyone in world with their eye open asks that question! If we could stop that, it would be the
most protective action for us, and the most debilitating hit on all terrorism, that I can imagine. I
urge our readers, and our political leaders, to read the June, 2016 issue of Scientific American Mind
devoted to “The Mind of a Terrorist”. It begins by noting research showing only 5% of ISIS recruiting
concerns violence and the rest focuses on the “nobility” of their cause. The report notes in
a five year period terrorists, in Syria and Iraq, got 30,000 foreigners to join them. The number of
foreign recruits from 2014 to 2015 doubled! The 2015 Global Terrorism Index shows that terrorist
killings went up 10-fold since the first of this century and that from 2013-2014 the number
of terror deaths went up 80%. One of our readers said to me “I didn’t know we had that many
sociopaths”. It is not all psychopaths and sociopaths, the recruits can come from “normal” people.
There is much creditable research, over many years, to verify that. In my short column I cannot
cover much, but in a year or so I will have a book out, “Evil and Greed: An Explanation of Today’s
World” that covers it in detail. Here I will give a synopsis of the factors involved and the effects. In
my opinion, at our peril, our policy makers will ignore the research.
It begins with a realization that we all fit into “In-Groups” and “Out-Groups”, and with reflection
you will see your own groups, of which there are many. Our commitment to our ingroup and our
rejection of the ideology and people of the outgroups, explains much of our behavior. Recall the
normal Germans in WWII and our own slavery laws. Watch our political scene and you will see
current in and out groups determining behavior, often without rational justification. So it is the
behavior of both groups, in and out, that cause members of each to become radical. The harmful
actions become only means to a better world, and the out-group people lost their humanity as
they are SO wrong. The in-group members reinforce one another. This over simplification of the
mechanics of radicalization is intended to get you interested in the group dynamics of terrorism and
beyond the focus on individuals. In my opinion, our hope lies best in attracting our lost kids back
to American values. A group that has worked with over 500 families in France used this approach
and it worked. Read the entire Scientific American Mind, June, 2016!
I am a free man, Lickspittle, and there’s
nothing you can do about it. I am the
only free man on this train.

Gun Tips
By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges
Here we go again. The AR platform is a hot political issue.
Among shooters it is a very popular firearm. Looking at mine
and viewing the accessory packages I kinda think we should
call it GP for general purpose. Just a thought. Some years
ago I saw a photo of a 1911 John Dillinger used, however, he
had crafted several magazines together which equaled the
capacity of a tommy gun. That was some firepower and
packing that thing was about fifteen pounds lighter and not
too noticeable either. Holly Audette’s article, Right to Bear
Arms Protects From Tyrannical Government, June 20,2016, Hope you read it. It is factual. It is
the Second Amendment as conceived long ago by thinkers and now hysterical officials try to trash
it along with the rest of the Bill of Rights. It is to me a crime to punish law abiding gun owners for
the despicable acts of a very few. We do not need any new gun laws: there are enough to take care
of the problems-if they are enforced. Well, back to our gun choices. Be practical, use what you can
operate with some degree of comfort and most certainly what you can control. Shooting irons now
come in all sizes and calibers. Too much gun will make a good paper weight. Too small, well, it may
get lost in a dresser drawer. What is also very important is how to carry the thing. A quality holster
will protect the piece as well as the skin behind. This goes for semi-auto’s as well as for wheel guns.
I have touched on a practice routine that fits your life style. Read different gun publications as they
offer good advice and see what fits you. Remember this: anger, booze and guns do not mix.
Now is the time for cool heads.

Wild Blackberries
by: Coy Domecq
One of my favorite wild–foraged foods is the local blackberry. I have fond childhood memories of family
outings to collect buckets of the plump ripe dark berries to be used fresh, baked into incredible deserts,
and made into jams and wine for use during cooler temperatures. Did I mention that not only buckets
were filled at the collection sites? At the end of the day, stomachs were also full of the sweet berries with
telltale markings around the mouth and teeth stained a dark blue-black.
The blackberry is a member of the Rose family. There are many local names for blackberries, among them
briarberries, bramble berries, and dew berries. The natural distribution of the most common blackberry
varieties, or taxa, throughout the eastern Carolinas, include European, Sand, Pennsylvania, Southern and
Chesapeake berries. Because blackberry types interbreed and hybridize readily, there is confusion and
debate among scientists about which berry belongs to what type. Fortunately for the berry eaters,
regardless of type, they all taste delicious.
Archeological evidence points out that blackberries have been consumed by humans as long as 2,500
years ago, during the Iron Age. Nutritionally, the blackberry is a significant form of dietary fiber, Vitamin
C, and Vitamin K. Although currently unverified, important phytochemical components in blackberries
show promise as antioxidants and are under investigation for their toxicity to cancer cells.
Collecting blackberries is not without peril. Most blackberry bushes have thorns along their canes that
can cause discomfort if the collector is not mindful of these sharp prickly deterrents. There seems to be
folklore associated with an abundance of snakes near areas full blackberry plants. Any truth to that may
be in part due to the fact that birds frequent the berry bushes. As much as birds like berries, snakes like
birds. From personal experience, I remember a very real direct correlation between the sweeter the
blackberry population, the higher the redbug, or chigger, count.
This, I believe, is a reminder that little in life is free, not even wild-collected blackberries.

Surviving the “Black March”
By: David Bennett, Curator at the Port o’ Plymouth Museum
In early 1944, two Washington County men, Benjamin Jackson and Benjamin Robertson,
members of the U.S. Eighth Air Force, were shot down over Germany. Despite coming from
the same community, the two men were complete strangers, but a chance meeting in a German
prisoner of war camp forever changed their lives.
Both men found themselves imprisoned at Stalag Luft IV, a German POW camp that was overcrowded,
lacked bathing facilities, and subjected its prisoners to physical abuse. It was in this
environment that Jackson and Robertson first met. The two men were introduced by a mutual
friend, Woodrow Collins, another aviator from Washington County.
In February 1945, the Russians were closing in on the camp. The Germans responded by
evacuating and forcing over 8,000 prisoners to march more than 500 miles in the dead of
winter. Today, the journey is known as the “Black March.” During the march about a quarter
of the men died of starvation, disease, exposure, and physical abuse. The ones who survived the
ordeal made it due to the buddy system. Jackson and Robertson paired up during the march
and helped one another find food during the day and stay warm at night. During the march
Robertson became severely ill and his tonsils rotted out. Eventually he became so weak that he
could no longer walk. In an effort to save Robertson, Jackson put him on a horse drawn wagon.
At some point along the march, the group was split up and Jackson and Robertson became
separated. By the time Robertson was liberated, he had lost 65 pounds.
It was not until much later that the two men were reunited after the war. It is difficult to say
what would have happened had the two never met, but it is safe to say that the bond they
formed during captivity contributed to their survival.

By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com
How anyone can grow up in Tyrrell County and not learn to swim and love the water is hard for me to comprehend.
I first learned to swim on my own ( I heard that my dad just threw me off the pier at Legion Beach) when I was very
young. I later took swimming lessons at a Red Cross swimming class held at Colonial Beach. During the summer, as
soon as Dad got home from his job at the Post Office, my brothers and I would nag and torture him until he would
give in and take us swimming. We always wanted to go to Legion Beach and most of the time he not only had to take
the three of us but half the kids on Green Street. I always thought a lot of Mr. Frank Spitzig who was in charge of the
beach in those days. He operated the beach house and lived in the little cottage right on the property. There was always
a bunch of folks at the beach, especially on weekends. Sometimes Mr. Frank would set a mullet net or let the kids put
out crab lines and catch fresh fish and crabs to cook in the evening. Some of the best fried fish and steamed crabs I ever
ate were cooked at Legion Beach by Mr. Frank. I remember he liked to steam his crabs using the vinegar from empty jars
of hot sausages, pickled eggs, or pickled pigs feet. There was always a diverse group of people at the beach. There would
be kids, teenagers, young adults, and older folks who all came to enjoy the water, sun, and fun at Legion Beach. The old
juke box was always playing songs while folks were swimming, sunning, or conversing. Mr. Frank gave me a puppy once
and I named him after a song that was popular at the time ( Wooly Bully). As I got older and spent summers working in
potatoes, Legion Beach was the first stop after work. Even though the beach house burned completely down in the mid
1960’s, the beach was still a very popular place. The 4th of July was also a huge day at Legion. There would be boat races,
fireworks, live music, and large crowds of people who came early and stayed late. A new beach house has been built now
and several folks have operated the beach since Mr. Frank, but no one has ever duplicated the atmosphere that I remember
about Legion Beach as a youngster. Some of the fondest memories that I have of Tyrrell County are times spent at
Legion Beach. The other day I attended a fish fry at the beach that reminded me a great deal of the good times I’ve had
the pleasure to spend there. I hope that Legion Beach remains a place where many more generations of Tyrrell folks have
the opportunity to create great memories just as I have.

Hi, I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ who struggles with issues
of hurts, habits and hang-ups. I pastor a local congregation and for
years people have asked, “Well, you are our pastor, who is yours.” I
thought about that and my answer was nobody. I knew I needed
someone I had confidence in and could trust with my struggles. I
didn’t know a single pastor I felt that confident in or comfortable with.
After leading a group through the Purpose Driven Life we were to
come up with a mission plan. What happened was a mission/ministry
fair was held in the church fellowship hall with booths of 12 or more
possible ministries/missions. One of those booths was Celebrate Recovery.
I thought how cool it would be it someone stepped up to the
plate and chose to lead CR.
I had someone in mind and that person who wanted to be involved in
a ministry who was seminary trained kept returning to the CR booth
and finally told me he felt called by God to start CR. I was elated for
what this could mean for our community and also for me personally.
I needed a support group where I could feel safe and share my hurts,
habits and hang-ups knowing that I would not be judged and could
get the help I needed.
We are getting ready to start our sixth year! Having just finished a 52
week 12 step study we are going to begin again July 12. Now is the
time to step out of denial and do something constructive for yourself.
Come get a step study guide and begin the journey, the
road to recovery.

The Chowanoke Indians
By Duvonya Chavis
The Chowanoke Indians were generally recorded as being friendly to the English
settlers. This was in spite of their first encounter being a surprise attack by an
expeditioner named Ralph Lane. Noted as the first contact that the English had with
the Chowanoke, Lane recorded in 1585 that “the Chowanocs durst not for the most
part of them abide us, and that those that did abide us were killed.” It was during this
attack that Lane captured Chief Menatonon from one of the Chowanoke villages
for interrogation.
His motivation; he was looking for copper mines and other riches that had been discovered
by the Spanish during an earlier expedition. After Chief Menatonon gave Lane the
information he was looking for, Lane took his son, Skiko as hostage to ensure success
with his mission. Though he did not succeed in getting to the copper mines, he did
not release Skiko and used him for later excursions and information. Later expeditions
followed and were met by Chowanokes who continued to be friendly to these English
explorers. In 1609, it is recorded that soldiers from Jamestown visited the Chowanoke
with gifts. Likewise in 1624, another explorer from Jamestown visited the “Chowanocs
and found the country to be very fruitful and pleasant.” In 1643, the English decided to
settle in Chowanoke territory due to the fertility of the land.
However they stated that they were not able to do so due to the presence of the Indians.
As a result, a military expedition was led by General Bennett and Colonel Drew as they
traveled from Jamestown into the Albemarle region and down the Chowan River. Their
mission was to establish a presence and foothold in the area for the purpose of settling
along the Chowan River “on this fertile land”. Colonel Drew, who led by water, was met
with resistance by the Indians and a battle ensued. It is not certain whether the battle
was with the Chowanokes but there is the presumption that the battle may have occurred
with Indians from another tribe since the
Chowanokes had always welcomed the English. Nonetheless, English settlement along
the Chowan River eventually occurred and took hold during the early 1660’s.
In 1663, the Chowans entered into treaty with the English and “submitted themselves
to the Crown of England under the Dominion of the Lords Proprietors.” This treaty
lasted until 1675. ………. to be continued.

Update Estate Plans as Life Situations Change
By: Stella Knight
You may not be able to take your property with you when you go, but having an estate plan will
make sure it goes where you want it to go after your death. Whether you are single, married, with or
without children, or contemplating a second marriage, everyone should have an estate plan. While
the issues confronting each person vary due to their unique situation, it is important that you realize
that as your life changes, your estate plan needs to change too.
What type of life changes am I talking about?
1. Change in marital status. If your change in marital status is due to a new marriage,
and if you intend to include your new spouse in your estate plan, you need to take proactive steps to
do so. Your new spouse is not automatically entitled to all of your estate or any specific assets upon
your death unless you specifically include such a provision in your will. If your change in marital
status is due to a divorce, North Carolina law will revoke all of your will provisions in favor of your
ex-spouse. It’s important to update your will to designate who will inherit the assets that were
previously designated for your spouse. Don’t forget about also updating your beneficiary
designations on life insurance and retirement accounts. Few things would be as upsetting to your
spouse as finding out that your ex-spouse is the beneficiary of your life insurance policy.
2. Relocation from another state. If you relocated to North Carolina and your estate
planning documents are from another state, you should have a lawyer review your will to be certain
that it is valid in North Carolina. Every state has its own laws regarding the legal execution of a will
and a will that is valid in one state is not necessarily valid in another state.
3. Birth/adoption of child/grandchild. The birth or adoption of a child or grandchild
is an important reason to update your existing will and other estate planning documents. You will
likely want to be sure your new child or grandchild is included in your distribution plan.
In my next article, I will discuss special considerations when you have children or are a new parent.
4. Change Beneficiary. The beneficiaries listed in your will at your death will inherit
your estate. If you have decided to change a beneficiary by either adding or removing a particular
person or charity, it is important to revise your estate plan in order to add or remove the beneficiary;
otherwise, the beneficiaries as stated in your will inherit your estate.
5. Periodically. Other life changes that may require you to evaluate your estate plan
include things such as the value of your assets has significantly increased or decreased, the family
business or farm has been sold, or there have been changes in the tax laws since your last will was
written. Even if none of these circumstances apply in your situation, you should review your plan
every five years to be certain that it will produce the results that you desire.
Many people feel that estate planning is only for the wealthy and is done only to save estate
taxes. This is not true. The process has other objectives:
1. To make sure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
2. To decide how and when beneficiaries will receive their inheritance.
3. To select the person(s) who will manage your estate (executors, trustees, etc.).
4. To select a guardian for your minor children.
5. To provide for the orderly continuation or sale of a family business.

What Would Scalia Say…
By: Diana Devine Baum
“Should Obama’s Supreme Court Nominee Get a Hearing?”
Diana Devine Baum,
Regent University School
of Law, Candidate for Juris
Doctorate 2018
If you wish an article written
about your business call Scott
at 252-312-2302
Anyone who is familiar with Justice Scalia’s legacy of the Original Textualism interpretation of the
Constitution should be able to guess that his answer would be “Yes”.
Textualism means that whenever courts interpret a legal document (such as the Constitution) judges should
consider first and foremost the precise words of the document. 1 Originalism (aka original public meaning)
also asks, what did the given constitutional provision mean to the American people when they ratified the
provision and made it “the supreme law of the land”.
In this case, the text of Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution states that the President “shall nominate, and
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint … judges of the Supreme Court….” The use
of the word “shall” makes it an affirmative duty for the President to nominate Scalia’s replacement. However,
the precise words of the document do not say that congress “shall”. Scalia would not end his analysis with the
text, but would move on to the original public meaning of the provision at the time of ratification. By doing
so he would likely conclude that the use of the word “shall” within Article II, Section 2 (provided above)
suggests Congress also has an affirmative duty to nominate a new Supreme Court Justice. With that said,
Congress may withhold consent. But, there is no textual or principled basis for denying hearings altogether. 2
Personally, I agree that we owe so much to Justice Scalia and that taking time to fully weigh who is going to
take the place of one of the most influential and conservative Justices in history is justified. However, whether
or not Scalia would agree is a theoretical no.

Carolina Moon Theater Group
Have that acting “bug?”
Come audition for our next play! Hilarity abounds when the
feisty females of Eden Falls, Georgia, decide to shake up their
lives. The action in Southern comedy takes place in SPA-DEE-
DAH!, the abandoned church-turned-day-spa where they
gather every Friday. After the loss of a dear friend, the women
realize time is precious, and if they’re going to change their
lives and achieve their dreams, they have to get on with it now!
The comic tension mounts when a sexy ex-boyfriend shows
up unexpectedly, a marriage proposal comes from an unlikely
suitor, and an archrival vows to stop at nothing to steal the spa
away. By the time the women rally together to overcome these
obstacles and launch their new, improved lives, you’ve got a
side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out loud
and shout “Hallelujah!”

Cobia Fishing
by Jake Worthington
When you are reading this article, the month of July has arrived. If you are Cobia Fishing off the Outer Banks or the Chesapeake Bay, you
can thank a grassroots movement of some dedicated Cobia anglers and Charter Boat Captains from North Carolina and Virginia. During the
early winter, I know many of us were respooling our Cobia rods and stocking up on Cobia jigs for the upcoming 2016 Cobia Season. This
season could also be nicknamed the “2016 Cobia Season That Almost Wasn’t”. Early in 2016, the SAMFC surprised many fisherman with an
ACL(Annual Catch Limit) which said they had determined that anglers had overharvested Cobia, and this would trigger the closure of Cobia
season in Federal Waters on June 20, 2016. This came as a complete surprise to many anglers and charter captains.
They realized that the number of catches of Cobia from their season in 2015 and the data the Council were providing were not even close to
what the season really was.
In NC, the NC Division of Marine Fisheries is tasked with regulatory authority to set seasons for fishing within the three mile limit of the shores, track catch
data, set creel limits, and enforce the rules and regulations set by the Division. NCDMF has been under fire for the way they conduct their public and private
business over the last couple of years. Their Director stepped down in the beginning of 2016. In Virginia, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission—similar
to NC-- has the responsibilities of regulation and enforcement of the state water from within three miles of its shoreline. Both NC and VA had high stakes in
this season-ending Cobia Closure. The economic impact of the many people who make their living targeting Cobia, as well as the individual fisherman who pay
thousands of dollars for the opportunity to land Cobia each year, was at stake. VA had the most to lose in the closure because their season really doesn’t start until
a couple of days before the June 20, 2016 closure. Both states had a choice; they chose to ignore the Federal Government and set their own season and limits on
the fishery. This act is known as” Being Noncompliant” or” Out of Compliance” and is their right, but it may come in the form of less federal money to their
states as a result of not following the federal guidelines.
Many anglers and charter captains mobilized from both states to form a grassroots movement to keep the season open. Their argument was that the harvest
numbers were not correct and because of this, their data was flawed and that triggered the closure. One man who enjoys Cobia fishing is Jonathan French, and he
would become the leader of the fight to stop the closure. I will report next month on what occurred to keep the season open in next month’s column. You already
know the plan was successful because the season was saved and hopefully you are enjoying it.

The Illusion of Privilege
by c.l. cooke

E-Mail to br549@modernmedianow.com
Poor folks greatly outnumber rich folks. Poor registered voters greatly outnumber rich voters. Poor folks have a lot less money than rich folks. Rich folks spend
a lot more money than poor folks. Money buys privilege. Therefore, rich folks continue to benefit by supporting issues and people that ultimately peddle the
influence of their donors. So, will the poor folks ever rise from poverty? Not as long as poor folks do not vote as informed, wise voters! Let’s look at it this
way. Poor folks have numbers on their side. The simple solution to reshape the economic landscape is for poor folks to stand together, vote together, elect their
candidate of choice, and hold that elected official responsible to accomplish a simple platform of economic opportunity and improvement for our quality of
life…No accomplishment, no reelection. I will admit though, our seemingly short memories has not benefitted poor folks. You see, we continue to be misled
and influenced by deceptive talk and promises that appeal to our immediate state of mind because we forgot that the last politician promised a bright future, the
“American Dream” and again, did not deliver. The rich folks seem to believe that poor folks just won’t get organized and exert the power of the vote, and win
elections on one simple principle… that most poor folks are somehow satisfied with the pittance of government assistance they receive each month. To make the
Illusion of Privilege a reality, where privilege comes from the will of the people, not the power of the almighty dollar, we can’t think color, we must think together,
we must vote together, and we must be dissatisfied with the past. Northeast North Carolina has been economically disadvantaged forever. We just can’t
continue to send the same folks back to elected office.
Look at what is happening in the European Union(EU) with Great Britain’s vote to leave. When the “World View” of the privileged elite continues to economically
batter the poor and the middle class, where the rich get richer, and the poor and middle-class see prices go up, but your currency buys less you might
have had enough.
Similar concerns are strong here. Open borders, immigration, dysfunctional elitist politicians, and government intrusion beyond fairness and decency plague us.
To paraphrase and present a comedic parody based on a YouTube from Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory: You poor folks are gonna’ stay poor because
95% of you are going to continue to vote for the same party. “What, you calling me stupid?” No my brother, I’m just calling you out! “You champagne sippin,
private jet flying thief.” No Sir, not me, but that’s what you been voting for year after year, and you still poor.

No Trifling Matter, This Matter Of Trifles
By Rosie Hawthorne
Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! I have a dessert for Independence Day that will send your bombs bursting in air - the trifle. By definition, a “trifle” is a thing
of little value or importance, something insubstantial and of little consequence. In culinary terms, a trifle is anything but.
My trifle is composed of an incredibly light and moist Lemon Sponge Cake infused with lemon syrup. For fruits, go with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries,
and blackberries. Be sure you have the red and blue in there. For the white, I’m wrapping this package up with satiny whipped cream.
It dresses up real pretty, so you can take it anywhere!
Lemon Sponge Cake
5 eggs, separated, room temperature
(Note: Both yolks and whites produce more volume when at room
temperature.)
1 cup sugar
1 cup cake flour
1 ¼ tsp baking powder
Zest of one lemon
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Beat yolks and sugar several minutes until light and creamy. Sift dry
ingredients and gradually add to batter. Mix in vanilla and lemon
zest. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Stir a few spoonfuls
of egg whites into the batter to lighten. Gently fold the rest of the
whites in.Pour batter evenly into buttered and floured 9 x 13 inch
pan. Spoon melted butter over top.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Spoon cooled syrup over hot cake.
Syrup
1 ½ cups sugar

Slice the cake into large cubes. Place a
cake layer on the bottom of your trifle
bowl. Spoon in a layer of whipped
cream. Tuck some fruit in. Continue
layering with cake, whipped cream and
berries. Top with layer of whipped cream

Frisco Native American Museum
VOLUNTEER CREATES EXHIBIT ITEMS FOR FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM
Drum maker, artist, and craftsman, John Wells, has never seen a positive challenge he wasn’t willing to
accept. One of his most recent challenges was creating items to be used in the new longhouse built on the
Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center nature trail.
“We are planning to host annual Village Days beginning in 2017.” said museum director, Carl
Bornfriend. “A number of volunteers have been working on the project for two years, and we recently completed
the frame of the longhouse. Now we are turning our attention to the furnishings. Last fall, Ronnie
Francisco, museum assistant director, sent out a list of items we need for the longhouse, and John was among
the volunteers who responded. We were all amazed when we saw what he created.”
Using pictures of artifacts provided by Francisco, Wells crafted bone fish hooks, knives, scrapers,
needles mallets, gardening tools and more. It is easy to imagine the original inhabitants of Hatteras island
turning over soil with a hoe made using a large shell tied with deer sinew to a small tree limb or a native fishing
with the beautiful hooks shaped from bone.
Mr. Wells volunteered at the museum when he lived on Hatteras Island almost thirty years ago, and
continued his involvement when he moved to Ohio and most recently to Florida. A number of his hand
made drums are featured in the museum, and his cedar boxes and carvings were popular items at annual
Powwows hosted by the museum.
The museum is located on Hatteras Island and open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 AM to
5:00 PM; Mondays by appointment only. For more information visit www.nativeamericanmuseum.org or
call 252-995-4440.

Northeast North Carolina Family History – Celebrating the Fourth…
By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com
Last month I ended my column by mentioning a great website for American military and historical research, Fold3.com. When I subscribed to it, it was known
as Footnote.com but after Ancestry.com bought it, they changed the name to Fold3 as a reference to the third fold of a flag which in some circumstances honors
veterans for their sacrifice. I knew that my husband had a relative (1st cousin three times removed) that had graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 1899
and thought to find some interesting information about him.
This native of Currituck, Samuel Tilden Ansell, became the youngest general in the Army during WWI. He was also the Acting Judge Advocate General and
as such was seeking reforms of the courts-martial system which he deemed archaic. A committee appointed by Congress in 1776 adopted the British Articles
of War with minor modifications, essentially adopting the characteristics of a monarchial rather than republican form of military justice. Ansell strongly felt it
unsuited to an army of citizen soldiers. The Secretary of War initially agreed, but elder generals prevailed, resulting “in the conviction of 25,000 men by general
courts-martial and 200,000 by inferior courts-martial, with the harshest penalties.”
The quotes I’m using are from his 1954 New York Times obituary: “A Senate Military Committee investigated the situation in 1919, called General Ansell and
confirmed much of his testimony. The affair gave so much offense to the Wilson Administration that General Ansell was forced to resign… In the end the War
Department yielded and reforms were made.” Ansell formed a private law firm and fought many battles both for and against the federal government. He was
appointed as special counsel for the Senate to investigate Louisiana politics in 1933. This resulted in Louisiana Senator Huey Long viciously criticizing Ansell in
a speech in Congress. Ansell sued Long “for $500,000 for libel and slander but the suit became void when Long was assassinated.”
In a happier moment, Samuel Ansell was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal after World War I, with the citation, “For especially meritorious and conspicuous
service as Acting Judge Advocate General of the Army, whose broad and constructive interpretation of the law and regulations have greatly facilitated the
conduct of the war and military administration.” So the result of my search on Fold3.com came as a complete surprise when then Major Ansell and his Currituck
family showed up in the FBI case files for investigation of being alleged pro-German prior to World War I.
The country became almost hysterically anti-German at the time and hundreds of thousands of Americans joined quasi spying organizations reporting on their
fellow Americans. A Mrs. Wall called the Washington office of the pre-cursor to the FBI, the Bureau of Investigation reporting that a girl, Miss Ansell, a relative
of Major Ansell had made pro-German remarks. She believed the families “pro-German proclivities should be investigated.” On June 6, 1917, Special Employee,
William M. Murphy, Jr., of Norfolk travelled to Currituck to investigate the allegations. He “posed as a representative of a commission merchant…” and
stayed with a local judge, Licinius Walker.
He accompanied the Judge and Edward Ansell to the courthouse and during conversation determined Ansell was pro-German. Judge Walker later added that
Ed Ansell, who was the Currituck Clerk of Court, had married one of Sam Ansell’s sisters and “would talk the German side of the war to him every Monday
morning, as they went to the Courthouse.” Travelling by horse to Henry Ansell’s home that afternoon he met with Henry, his wife, and two married daughters
all of whom stated they were pro-German. He added that they mentioned Sam Ansell repeatedly but not in connection to the war. He later went to the general
store kept by Mr. Barker who was also Postmaster. Murphy reported that Acey Swain, Emerson Sawyer and Sam Dowdy were there and made “very unpatriotic
remarks.” The last page of Special Employee Murphy’s report states “I found Judge Walker and his family to be very patriotic citizens, but they are practically the
only patriots in this locality.” He wrote no comments about Samuel Ansell.
Who knows what Fold3.com may surprise you with! Until July 15, all 21 Revolutionary War titles are free to research. Many titles are always free, including
Passport applications from 1795-1905, American milestone documents and the Social Security Death index. There is a free 7 day trial, and monthly subscriptions
are $7.95. Here’s hoping you’ll find some great patriotic stories as you continue your research or perhaps some more surprising, than great…

Five Reasons Not to Be a “Do-It-Yourself ” Investor
Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe
These days, you can go online and invest, for modest fees. You can also visit various websites for research and watch numerous cable
shows for investment recommendations.
So, why shouldn’t you be a “do-it-yourself” investor rather than work with a financial professional?
Actually, there are at least five good reasons why a financial advisor can help make you a better investor.
A financial advisor can:
--Ask the right questions — If you try to invest on your own, you may find yourself asking the wrong questions, such as: “What’s
the ‘hottest’ investment out there?” A financial professional can help frame better questions, such as: “Given my individual risk
tolerance and long-term goals, which investments should I consider to help me build a balanced portfolio?” In other words, a
financial professional can help you ask the questions that can lead to better results.
--Look at your situation objectively — No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to take all the emotion out of your investment
choices. After all, your investment success will play a large role in some key areas of your life, such as your ability to enjoy a
comfortable retirement. Consequently, if you think you’re not making the progress you should with your investments, you may be
tempted to make a hasty decision to give your portfolio a “jolt.” Frequently, though, such choices can backfire. When it comes to
investing, it’s better to invest with your head, not your heart. A financial advisor can analyze your situation, assess your risk tolerance
and make appropriate recommendations.
--Show a deeper understanding of investment research — You can look up many types of financial data on your own. But do you
know how to put all these pieces together into a cohesive picture? A financial professional, with years of experience and training, is
generally more capable of finding the research sources and making the most sense out of the results.
--Put experience to work in making portfolio recommendations. Even if you’ve been investing for many years, you might be
surprised at all the underlying influences that should go into making investment decisions. But a financial professional understands
market patterns, the nature of diversification and other factors necessary in helping you make the right choices for your situation.
--Spend time looking for opportunities — Even if you enjoy the process of investing, the chances are quite good that you can’t
spend as much time on it as a financial professional. That means, among other things, you aren’t constantly on the lookout for new
investment opportunities. Nor are you always looking within your own portfolio for opportunities to rebalance or make other
adjustments that can help you move forward toward your goals. But when you work closely with a financial advisor, he or she is
exploring the financial markets for new investment prospects while regularly reviewing your portfolio for possibilities of upgrading
quality, increasing diversification or making adjustments in response to changes in your life.

The “do-it-yourself” route may be fine for home repairs. But when it comes to managing your investment situation, there are
benefits to working with a professional.

Museum Anniversary
By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle
wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov
Moa 1970 Childrens Hour with Nancy Bailey 1976 Gwendolyn Madrin 1970s
“We will begin our new year free of debt and a little money in the bank. There are very few organizations that can
make this claim.” These two sentences were the first to be read in the January 1970 issue of the Museum of the
Albemarle Newsletter. The Museum of the Albemarle (MOA) will celebrate its 50th anniversary in May 2017. In
last month’s issue we discussed the life at the museum in the 1960s. This issue of Albemarle Tradewinds will focus
on the 1970s.
During this decade the museum acquired dolls, a Victrola, tin cake pans, plows, a tandem bike, left-handed
golf clubs, and books including a circa 1874 Book of Psalms. Donors such as Ruth Ann Burgess of Shiloh, Mrs.
Charles Skinner Sr. of Hertford, and J. Howard Stevens of Elizabeth City greatly added to the museum’s
collection.
Exhibits in this era included A Whole New World (1970); Eastern North Carolina in Color (1973); Old Country
Store (1976); Rural Life in Early North Carolina, 1820-1860 (1977); The Carolina Etchings by Louis Orr
(1978); and The Black Presence in North Carolina (1979). Gwendolyn Madrin, Dr. J. Edwin Hendricks (visiting
director), Nancy Bailey and Gwendolyn Madrin (interim) served as directors of the museum during the era
where membership rose. Programs such as Children’s Hour, workshops including one focusing on preservation,
and events including Art Shows were well received. The price of membership was $10.00 for individuals and
$25.00 for a family. On May 4, 1978, Governor Jim Hunt made a special visit to MOA
The charter meeting of the Guild of Museum Friends was held in July 1976. The Guild was formed as an adjunct
to the museum with a mission to preserve and promote history and the cultural arts, and more directly, MOA.
Throughout the years, the Guild raised funds for office carpeting, children’s programming, and later funding for
the restoration of the Jackson-Jennings house, conservation of textiles, and a library software system. The first
officers of the Guild of Museum Friends included Tula Hemphill, corresponding secretary; Gwendolyn Madrin,
second vice president; Alice Johnson, recording secretary; Geri Weeks, first vice president; Roxanne Jackson,
treasurer; and Treva Pendleton, president. The Guild disbanded in 2015.
The most exciting event of the 1970s occurred when
a bill was passed in May 1979 to have MOA become
the first regional museum of the North Carolina
Museum of History. Every artifact was grandfathered
into the North Carolina Museum System and each
employee was then paid by the state. Pick up next
month’s issue of the Albemarle Tradewinds to learn
about the museum during the 1980s.

Exercise Your Faith
By : Ron Ben-Dov
Faith is like a muscle;
If you don’t exercise it,
It will wither and atrophy;
Exercise your faith like a bicep;
Curl your faith regularly;
Watch it grow in strength;
Til your faith is astronomical;
And God rains His blessings on you,
Like rain on Noah and the Ark;
Flooding your life with His blessings;
And always keeping you afloat.

In my last article I wrote about the attraction of traditional archery. I hope some of you have taken
the opportunity to try something different. If you have good for you ! I would like to spend the
crux of this article on beginning to prep for the upcoming season.
First and foremost, have you examined your equipment from last season. I don’t mean have
you given it a cursory glance but have you really examined each piece of equipment. How is your
bowstring? Are your cables frayed? Is the sight properly alligned? Is your rest in working order? Is
your release working smoothly? Are your wheels and cogs in allignment? This is just a check on your
bow.
Treestand working properly? Are all the nuts and bolts in proper condition for youe safety?
Have you gotten a new stand? Are you practicing out of it? Can you use it effectively and quietly?
Where will you locate it this year? Is it easily moved? Is your safety harness reliable, you are after all,
putting your life on its line. Do you need a new harness?
Are your arrows spined appropriately for your bow? Are there any that you need to get rid
of, if so, do so. Do you need to replace the fletch or vane? Do you need to mark your arrows with
your identification? How about your broadheads? Are you using the same ones, if so, do the need to
have the blades replaced or sharpened? Are you changing to a different nroadhad? If so, make sure to
practice with one .
How about the items in your backpack or daypack? When was the last time you did a check
on them? Is your first aid kit up to date? Is your waterbottle cleam and free of bacteria? Many hunters
just stow away their packs from year to year and then just because they may not have used it,
grabbed it up for the next season. You have to continually check your equipment!! Know what you
have and add what you need. Your life or someone else’s may depemd on it! You have a resposibility
to yourself and your hunting partners.
Do you have the appropriate license to hunt the game you are after? Do you need a game
stamp or State/National Forest Stamp ? Are these located in an easy to reach place should you be
stopped by a conservation police officer?
Your vehicle that you will be using to get to your hunting area.... Is it in proper condition to
get you to and from your area. Do you need to get any work done now that you have been procrastinating
on doing?
Although many of these questions seem “simple,” they are not. Too many of us put off the
small things that may make a difference in a successful hunt or a disaster. A simple check now will
pay dividends for you later.
It is time also to scout your territory for the deer patterns for this year. Make it fun, take a
child with you, introduce him/her to hunting through scouting. Take a camera and take some picks
of the area now and in three or four weeks take the same shots to see what has changed.
Upcoming events:
NCBA Annual Picnic, August 7th, Guilford Bowhunters, Starting around 12:30.

Veterans Writing Workshop Now Accepting Applications
Dare County Arts Council is now accepting applications for the 2016
Outer Banks Veterans Writing Project, which will be held November 5 and
6 at UNC Coastal Studies Institute on Roanoke Island.
Returning to the Outer Banks for its fourth consecutive year, the free twoday
writing workshop will be taught by Veterans, for Veterans and Active
Duty Servicemembers.
The 2016 workshop will be led by retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant
and professional writer James Matthews, whose fiction has appeared in numerous literary journals.
“Veterans are often in a unique position to develop compelling stories that not only speak to the
human condition, but advance the Nation’s literary achievements. Our goal is ultimately to inspire
and encourage veteran-writers -- whether they are just beginning to recon the writing path or are
simply looking to expand the literary tools in their arsenals,” said Matthews.
Dare County Arts Council encourages all former and current service men and women in North
Carolina, Virginia and surrounding areas to submit applications for the writing workshop, which will
accommodate up to 25 participants.
For more information or to submit an online application for the Veterans Writing Project, visit
VeteransWeekOBX.com, DareArts.org or call (252) 473-5558.
Modeled after the DC-based Veterans Writing Project, a non-profit foundation that teaches combat
Veterans to express their military experiences through literature, the goal of the Outer Banks Veterans
Writing Project is to teach enrolled applicants the art of writing.
“We, as Veterans, often have experiences that we need to express. This Workshop teaches us to take
those events and build them into a story. History has taught us that the best way to overcome Post
Traumatic Stress is to talk about our experiences. I don’t call it Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. There
is no disorder, they’ve just been exposed to more stress than most people.
This Workshop teaches us how to relieve that stress,” said Army Veteran and Dare County Arts
Council Board Member Kelli Harmon.
The Outer Banks Veterans Writing Project is part of the Veteran-friendly events sponsored by the
Outer Banks Visitors Bureau during November’s Outer Banks Veterans Week.

A wise man once said...
by: Publius
Water
I have not touched on this subject previously other than referring to Walmart as the most reasonable source for water
in one gallon containers ready for storage. Also mentioned, was to allow no less than one gallon per person per day
and preferably two, to cover minimum hydration needs and limited hygiene use.
The human body consists of 60% water and can only survive 3 to 4 days without it or other fluids. You must have
water to digest food. If you do not have water, eat nothing, until you do. Over a period of 24 hours you will lose
approximately 2.5 quarts of water thru normal body functions. Should you fail to replace these fluids, dehydration
begins. You will not survive if you reach a state of 20% dehydration. For most, that is about 3 days with no fluids,
less if very active. The importance of keeping at least some stored water on hand at all times, cannot
be overemphasized.
Where do I get water if there is none at the faucet? In most homes the single largest source is the hot water heater.
TURN OFF the water supply to your house at the meter or private well. TURN OFF the circuit breaker and/or gas
for the water heater and attach a hose to the spigot at the base of the tank to access approximately 40 gallons of clean,
ready to use water. Open a hot water spigot in the house to allow the water to flow more freely from the hose. You
may see some sediment from the bottom of the tank in the water and pouring it thru several layers of clean cloth will
remove most of this harmless material. Another small quantity will remain in the ice cube section of your freezer.
You may also drain the pipes in the house by using the lowest spigot in the system and opening an inside spigot to
relieve the vacuum. Drain any hoses. If you have any warning of a possible situation developing, line your bath tubs
with plastic and fill with cold water. Fill any container with water until the threat has passed. The two liter plastic
bottles work well and are handled easily by most family members. Water weighs over 8 pounds per gallon and the
smaller the container the easier it will be to manage. Part 2 Next Month
GET IN THE ACT
At Encore
Theatre Company
By Lamar Phillips
I would like to share my viewpoint of what
this organization is all about and why I think
it is worthy of your support. This community
is a great place to meet people who share
your interest in live theatre, and have a whole
lot of fun at the same time. Anyone who
has been involved with an Encore show will
tell you that it was a lot of work but no one
is likely to tell you that it was’ t worth every
minute.
If you have ever seen one of our performances,
you know that we strive to deliver a
high quality live theatre experience that you
may expect to see from professional theatre
companies. The only difference is that we
do it in your own backyard downtown at the
Maguire Theater using dedicated community
volunteers.
You may be asking yourself, why we do it.
After all there are lots of ways to have fun
that require a lot less work. I believe that if
you asked 10 people that you would get 10
different answers (if they could even answer
the question at all). I believe that we do it
so that we can express ourselves through our
art. Whether it is the performance art of
the actors on stage, the displayed art of sets
and props, or costume design, the visual and
audible art of lighting and sound design or
the creative art involved in direction or production,
we do it to add our interpretation
of one of the most amazing art forms ever
created, Live Theatre! You have to experience
it to know what it is like, and we would
love to have you “GET IN THE ACT” with
your own personal experiences to those of the
highly talented people that are already a part
of the Encore Theatre Company. You can be,
do & learn it all at Encore!

Does God take the summer off?
by Pastor Dan Bergey
So often we, Americans, take vacations during the summer. We put enjoying time relaxing in the
sun and having fun with family and friends on top of our ‘to do’ list. That’s not a bad thing, we need
to take time to be with our family and friends to keep the relationships healthy. We need to ‘get
away’ from our jobs and relax. This makes us more productive at our jobs and encourages the bonds
with our family and friends. But God doesn’t take the summer off. He’s always there, 365 days a
year, 24 hours a day. Part of staying productive and having healthy family lives means putting God
first. As you’re off enjoying your summer, don’t forget that Reading your Bible, Praying and going to
Church should still be a part of your summer relaxation schedule. Use your time in God’s creation
to meditate on Him and grow closer to Him. This will be the ultimate form of relaxation.
One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple.

Medicines And Medical Procedures During The War Between The States
(Continued from last month)
By: Dr. Dave and Gary Riggs
On many tours of these improvised hospitals, a great American poet and Civil War nurse noted in his memoir and
during the war the disorderly death and waste of early uncivil war medicine. At a camp hospital in 1862, it was seen
“a heap of amputated feet, legs, arms, hands, etc. a full load for a one horse cart”. And “several” dead bodies lying near
of the hospital, which was a brick mansion before the battle of Fredericksburg changed its use. “It was quite crowded
upstairs and down, everything impromptu, no system, all bad enough but I have no doubt the best that can be done; all
the wounds pretty bad, some frightful, the men in their old clothes unclean and bloody”. Of the division hospitals, it
was noted that these were “merely tents, and sometimes very poor ones, the wounded lying on the ground, lucky if their
blankets are spread on layers of pine or hemlock twigs or small leaves”.
However, the heavy and constant demands of the sick and wounded sped up the technological progression
of medicine, wrenching American medical practices into the light of modernity. Field and pavilion hospitals replaced
makeshift ones and efficient hospitalization systems encouraged the accumulation of medical records and reports, which
slowed bad practices as accessible knowledge spread the use of beneficial treatments.
Several key figures played a role in the progression of medicine at this time. A medical director brought “order
and efficiency in to the medical service” with a regulated ambulance system and evacuation plans for the wounded, a
standardized, organized and designed new hospital layout and inspection system and literally wrote the book on hygiene
for the army. Clara Barton, well known humanitarian and founder of the America Red Cross, brought professional efficiency
to soldiers in the field, especially at the battle of Sharpsburg (Yankee name Antietam) in September of 1862 when
she delivered much needed medical supplies and administered relief and care for the wounded, disease and illness took
a heavy toll on soldiers, but as these historic characters show, every effort was made to prevent death caused by human
error and ignorance through the development of organized and more advanced practices.
The sheer quantity of those who suffered from disease and severe wounds during Lincoln’s war forced the army
and medical practitioners to develop new therapies, technologies and practices to combat death thanks to the design of
clean, well ventilated and large pavilion style hospitals. Suffering soldiers received care that was efficient and sanitary. In
the later years of the war, these hospitals had a previously unheard of 8% mortality rate for their patients. Through the
mortality rate was higher for soldiers wounded on the battlefield, field dressing stations and field hospitals administered
care in increasingly advanced ways. Once a soldier was wounded medical personnel on the battlefield bandaged the
soldier as fast as they could, and gave him whiskey (to ease the shock) and morphine, if necessary, for pain. If his wounds
demanded more attention, he was evacuated via ambulance and stretcher system to a nearby field hospital.

Be ready for the storm

Re-Using a Soda Bottle
There are lots of remote places in Eastern North Carolina. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to have found a place
with few neighbors with lots of woods and wildlife surrounding us. We prefer to live a simple life away from the city.
Many people dream of having a home in the country. Of course, it is not that easy. Living 40 minutes from the grocery
store is one inconvenience. You have to plan your trips.
We discovered that having one way in and out of our little community has its drawbacks. Although we live on high
ground, the only road goes through miles of lowland. On several occasions during a hard rain or hurricane, we were on
our own for a few days. Hurricane Isabel had us without electricity for 3 weeks. We were prepared with a small
generator and plenty of fuel and made it through without losing any food in the freezer. We even had satellite TV! Being
a little prepared can make all the difference in your comfort level when you have no power. I will present an article each
month documenting our experiences and what we did to make it through when we had no power. You don’t have to be a
all-out prepper, a little common sense goes a long way.
This month I will show what we did to preserve some food using 2 and 3-liter soda bottles.
Take a razor knife, sharp knife or
sizzors, cut the top off of a
empty plastic soda bottle (carefully).
We tried food grade 5-gallon buckets but found that when you open them you have a lot
of something to consume. I got on the the Internet and found a person using 2
and 3-liter soda bottles for storing food, so we tried that. We consume rice, pasta, beans,
etc, and these containers work great for storage. We purchased a 20 lb pound bag of rice to
store. First, collect some 2-3 liter soda bottles. Clear grape juice containers work and they
have wider mouths for larger stuff like pasta and beans. Don’t be tempted to use milk jugs,
they don’t seal good enough. Wash the containers. Some use a teaspoon of bleach with some
water and slosh it around to make sure it is sterile. After washing let it air dry with the cap
off. It has to be dry! One way to tell is to put the cap on and set in the sun for a few minutes,
if you see condensation in the bottle, take the cap off and let it dry some more. Get a small
funnel to help you get the food into the bottle. If you do not have a funnel - make one! Look
at the column on the right for directions. Go on Ebay and buy a few oxygen absorbers.
They are about 10 bucks for 100 absorbers (today’s price). I put an absorber in the bottom
of the bottle and start pouring in the food using the funnel. When it gets to the top tap
on the bottle to help it settle some. I keep on adding and tapping until it won’t take any
more and is an inch from the top. We add another O2 absorber in the top and fill the rest of the way and put the cap
on. That’s it. One thing I do is put the full bottle into the freezer for a week or so to kill any rice bugs or weevils that may
have been in there. Never had a problem with them, just to be sure. We did this in 2009 and the other day we decided
to rotate some rice from storage and it tasted as good as rice from the store. This is one of the cheap things you can do to
store some food. Keep it in a closet or pantry at a moderate temperature and dryness. Pack in bottles, put it up and forget
it. Don’t forget to take a magic marker and label the date on the bottle.

Use the top as a funnel
Use the bottom as a measuring cup,
seed starter for the garden, or keep
it in the car as an emergency water
bowl for the dog. Be creative!

Sean Haugh: A Special Message to My Republican Opponent
RALEIGH (June 21) – In a special video message, Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate Sean Haugh,
told his Republican opponent, incumbent Richard Burr, “You could stand up in front of everybody and
defend your record. Id like to see you try. The voters of North Carolina demand it.”
“If you want to serve the people, you have to answer to the voters of this state,” Haugh said in the latest
of his signature videos. “You have to debate me to answer to all of us who are tired of your perpetual
war and unsustainable debt and corporate control of our government.”
When he gets an invitation, Haugh says he accepts immediately. “Near as I can tell, our Democratic
opponent Deb Ross, after some brief conversation, also accepts.” But Haugh said that even after months
the Burr campaign is still “negotiating terms.” Haugh speculated that Burr may be waiting to hear if
he’d be Donald Trumps vice presidential running mate. “That would make sense. You two are a match
made in... well, Im not quite sure where, but you gotta admit, it’s a natural pairing.” “Given your vigorous
defense of government secrecy, maybe youre asking for parts of the debate to be classified? I understand.
It’s hard to reconcile open debate with your complete
opposition to transparency,” Haugh said. However, Haugh
said it’s looking more and more like Burr is afraid to debate.
“Maybe you’re hoping you can just coast in on the power of
incumbency. I’d understand it if you just can’t face the voters
anymore with a straight face and repeat obvious nonsense
like moderate Syrian rebels or repeal and replace.”

Beads of history created on Water Street
Excavation of lands worldwide exposed the use of beads in most cultures. The oldest bead is dated at 108,000 BC. The process for bead-making to shape intricate
ornaments is credited to the area of Mesopotamia, modern day Iraq. Fire was used to soften glass around 2300 BC. Wood, bone, and shells were plentiful
and used extensively by Native American tribes in eastern North Carolina. Turquoise and stones were popular in the western U.S. The story told by beads is
threaded through the cultures and civilizations since humankind inhabited the earth.
Debbie Zimmerman, owner of the Bead Spot at 201 N. Water Street in Elizabeth City, has put her heart into making available to the public all the necessary
components to design or purchase beaded jewelry. Anyone can express their creative concepts, or cultural heritage with a brooch, pendant, or coat of many colors.

Tillett motion says N.C. Bar unlawfully obtained files from JSC
By: Russ Lay
Reprinted with permission from
outerbanksvoice.com/commentary/
Did the North Carolina State Bar “unlawfully and improperly” obtain confidential files from the North Carolina
Judicial Standards Commission that were used in disciplinary actions against Judge Jerry R. Tillett?
A “motion to dismiss” filed on May 24 by Tillett’s attorneys before the North Carolina’s Disciplinary Hearing
Commission alleges the State Bar did.
The story first broke in the trade publication North Carolina Lawyer’s Weekly.
The new allegations cast an even longer shadow over the propriety of the State Bar’s actions against the Dare County
Superior Court judge as well as other reported excesses by its Disciplinary Hearing Commission.
The Bar’s pursuit of three defense attorneys have been brought to pubic light by former North Carolina Supreme Court
Justice Robert Orr and Raleigh media and have become a part of a larger review of the Bar by Chief Justice Mark Martin.
Adding significant weight to the charges is a sworn affidavit in the motion from a high-ranking attorney for the Judicial
Standards Commission who worked on Tillett’s case when complaints were filed against the judge before that body
in 2012.
In his affidavit, J. Christopher Heagarty, former commission counsel and executive director of the North Carolina Judicial
Standards Commission, states that Patrick Murphy, an attorney with the State Bar, “came to see me in the JSC office to discuss Judge Tillett.”
Previously, Heagarty described a request from the State Bar for information in the JSC file on Tillett, saying he “copied information from the Tillett investigative
file, mostly taken from the JSC investigative report.”
He then says that at the meeting, “Murphy had in his possession a white loose-leaf notebook. Inside the notebook was a typed timeline of the case I had never
seen before. Behind the timeline was a copy of the JSC investigative report on Judge Tillett.
“The notebook contained information beyond the investigative report, including my hand-written attorney notes, a confidential legal analysis of the disciplinary
case against Judge Tillett that I had prepared for the Commission members, and other correspondence from the investigative file.”
Heagarty concludes: “I was stunned to see that Mr. Murphy’s notebook included original documents, not copies, from the JSC, including my original
handwritten notes.
“These notes and my confidential legal analysis prepared for the Commission were protected by attorney-client privilege and were not included in the
information I had copied for the State Bar.”
Heagarty says he quizzed the Bar attorney about where he received those files and the attorney responded “he did not know.”
On March 8, 2013 the Judicial Standards Commission, which is charged under state law to investigate complaints against judges, issued a public reprimand
against Tillett stemming from his involvement in a personnel dispute between the Town of Kill Devil Hills and four of its police officers.
Two years later, the State Bar, in an unprecedented move, began its own investigation against Tillett, the first ever by the Bar against a sitting judge.
The complaint was filed by then-Kill Devil Hills Town Attorney Steven Michael, who also happened to be a past president of the Bar and chairman of the Bar’s
Disciplinary Hearing Commission, the panel which would hear the complaint against Tillett. Michael retired as town attorney last week, but his firm still
represents Kill Devil Hills.
The Town of Kill Devil Hills has been tussling with Tillett since 2011 and has been extremely aggressive in requesting sanctions against him before the JSC and
the State Bar.
In spite of the unclear jurisdictional authority of the State Bar to discipline a sitting judge and the apparent conflict of interest between Michael’s dual role as
town attorney and the Disciplinary Hearing Commission, the Bar persevered, going as far as to deny Tillett a hearing in front of the panel, instead finding him
“guilty” in a summary judgement.
The Bar was set to issue punishment against Tillett in late June. In another unprecedented move, the
North Carolina Supreme Court reversed a January decision that held Tillett must exhaust his appeals
through the State Bar and the Court of Appeals before appealing to that body.
The reversal stayed any Bar actions against Tillett, and the Supreme Court agreed to take up Tillett’s case
directly, bypassing all lower courts of appeal.
If these allegations prove to be true, it will be another setback to the State Bar and the Town of Kill Devil
Hills in their half-decade-long pursuit of Tillett.
