What’s more delicious than a festival that celebrates all things potato? With a bevy of ‘tater-themed contests, a 

rollicking midway, live music and plenty of spuds, the North Carolina Potato Festival, May 20-22 in Elizabeth City, 

promises to please both your taste buds and your desire to have a good time. 

What began as a simple tribute to the farmers that tend the state’s major potato-growing areas along the 

Albemarle Sound has grown to attract more than 30,000 celebrants annually for a weekend full of festivities. This year, 

festival organizers have embraced an outdoor theme – illustrated by its cartoon potato mascot paddling a canoe – in 

celebration of the 100th anniversary of North Carolina’s state parks. 

In addition to the usual fare – rides, games, food and fun – the festival will have a USCG Search and Rescue 

demonstration over the water, Coast Guard Cutter Beluga will be docked at the waterfront giving tours and there will 

be live entertainment on the main stage. 

. And don’t forget the ‘taters. In addition to nibbling on home-cooked fries, festival-goers can watch the 

National Potato Peeling Contest participants peel through bushels of spuds, cheer on the “Little Miss Tater Tot 

Pageant” contestants and take part in a mashed potato-eating contest. Approximately 175 shopping, crafts and 

dining vendors line the Main Street thoroughfare. Visitors can also view antique and new tractors in the festival’s 

featured tractor display. 

Mark your calendars and bring your appetite! It will soon be all things potato – all weekend long in Elizabeth 

City. The kick-off party is the evening of May 20, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., and festival runs May 21 from 10 a.m. to 11 

p.m., and May 22 from 11 to 6 p.m. The Elizabeth City Convention & Visitors Burea, Hall Automotive Elizabeth 

City and the United States Coast Guard are the premier festival sponsors of the event. For more information and a 

complete lineup of live entertainment check the festival’s Facebook page or visit www.ncpotatofestival.com.

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

We are preparing for growing season in Northeast North Carolina. My readers are aware of my 

mantra “let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food”. The next big cancer focus will 

be immunotherapy. As I mentioned in an earlier article, the immune system is the key to all quality 

of life health matters, and quality nutrients are the key to a healthy immune system. In our region, 

produce such as broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and muscadine grapes are 

major crops, and major cancer fighters, that should be primary components in your cancer survivor 

diet. Preferably organic quality. 

In last months article I discussed my advocacy of Northeast North Carolina being the “Organic 

Produce Capital of the World”. The feedback was very positive. So, let’s explore the possibilities. 

Organic commodities are going to be the most coveted products in the world. Northeast North 

Carolina has the longest growing season and less than a day’s drive to 50 million consumers, within 

ninety minutes from one of the largest seaports in the country, and connected by excellent state and 

federal highways. We have the best climate, best soil and best farmers in the country. The stars and 

demographics are aligned for this region to be a major player in the demand for our fresh organic 

produce. While writing this article I happened across a news conference with Presidents Castro and 

Obama promoting commerce, particularly agriculture between the two country’s. Virginia 

Governor Mcauliffe offered that Cuba has 11,000,000 consumers and a seaport as large as 

Norfolk’s. Hopefully, our local “powers that be”,will recognize the opportunity to make Northeast 

North Carolina the “Organic Capital of the World”.

My final thought. As a retired federal bureaucrat, I was curious as to where the buck stops in the 

polluted water fiasco. It appears that the EPA expanded their administrative turf by seeding their 

accountability to the States. I discovered the State violation information for public water systems 

throughout the country. including whether the systems have: Failed to follow established 

monitoring and reporting schedules. Failed to comply with mandated treatment techniques. 

Violated any Maximum Containment Levels (MCLS). And, failure to communicate required 

information to their customers. Seems to me that the state of Michigan was negligent. However, 

they had to be generating data because federal regulations required it. 

What happened to the that data? 

It is reported that there are over 2,000 public water systems were tested with lead content 

exceeding the 15parts per billion. This is an incredible conundrum for this administration and the 

next one. No one has even approached the medical ramifications for this. The lead poisoning will 

last a lifetime. Am I to understand that those infected will have their medical issue taken care of? 

And what about the folks receiving low doses of lead through commercial food processing 

in those areas? 

I’ll connect the dots next time. 

Remember, you are what you eat.

ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY 

THE UNSEEN MARTYR 

This is the fiercest struggle, the struggle that resists a man unto blood. It is here that we manifest our patience, 

my beloved brethren….For this is the time of unseen martyrdom. 

St. Isaac the Syrian, fourth century. 

It is no small thing, martyrdom: the voluntary laying down of this earthly life for the Faith. For Eastern 

Christians, the atrocities of ISIS are no novelty, but the continuance of an ancient pattern. The 

Orthodox Christians and their brethren have endured such horrors for most of the past 20 centuries. 

Beginning with the stoning of the deacon Stephen, and the casting of James, the brother of the Lord, 

from the pinnacle of the temple, the Orthodox have borne a bitter yoke under Jews, Romans, Arab 

Muslims, Tartars, Turks, Nazis, and Communists. As early as the fourth century, St. Gregory Nazianzus 

refers to the Faith as “suffering Orthodoxy.” 

Yet, what is it to lay down this life in the Christian sense? Is it something required only of those who 

face stoning and the sword? Archimandrite Zacharias speaks of the “spiritual phenomenon, unknown 

to modern psychology, called ‘mindfulness of death’ in Orthodox ascetic terminology. It has nothing 

to do with the psychological awareness that we shall die some day; it is more like a deep knowledge, 

accompanied by a wondrous sensibility of the heart, which perceives clearly ‘the futility of any and 

every acquisition on earth’ and that ‘all is vanity’ (Eccles. 1:2)” 

The person who finds the full measure of mindfulness of death “suffers deeply with an intensity that 

cannot be borne within the limits of human strength….As he abides in remembrance of death, man 

perceives in spirit the hell of God’s absence. In his desperate desire to resolve this situation, he finds 

he must detach himself from every passionate involvement with the visible world, and he then singlemindedly 

casts himself upon God.” 

The lover of God then undertakes a desperate war with the passions, seeking to uproot them, to 

extricate himself from their talons, to purify his heart, so that God may reclaim it as His dwelling 

place. “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Prov 4:23). Archimandrite 

Zacharias notes that the acute experience of mindfulness of death often leads people to monastic life; 

“they feel the monastic life as an urgency in their spirit. It is not something that they consider carefully 

and then choose to do; they feel that either they do it, or they die.” 

Paradoxically, but in a very real sense, the ascetical life—the Christian life to which all are called, monastics 

and lay persons alike—is a martyrdom. It is the dying to one’s own will, to the passions, to the 

fascinations of the false and illusory in which there is no life, but only the appearance of life.

Concealed Weapon Procedures 

Last month we briefly mentioned the importance of safe firearm carrying and storage for concealed weapon 

carriers. In this issue, we’ll discuss developing a systematic approach for those procedures. 

When commercial air travel was expanding in the 1950’s and 1960’s, there were several highly publicized 

accidents resulting in mass casualties. In response, the airlines developed a simple but remarkably effective system to 

prevent further incidents. The accident rate plummeted. The system is called Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s), 

and we can copy it and use it to our advantage. 

The first step in establishing an SOP is to determine your personal rules the safest way to carry and store the 

firearm. Then, write them down so that there is no doubt as to what you expect of yourself. This also allows you to 

critique and revise them if you need to. Lastly, adopt the SOP as your standard procedure. That is, do it the right way, 

the same way, every single time. 

Establishing the safest way to carry concealed varies depending on the situation. Be critical of yourself. Think 

like a prosecutor or an attorney suing you for the discharge of your firearm. What could you have done differently to 

prevent the weapon from firing and killing or injuring anyone? You are already practicing one SOP without even realizing 

it: “Never touch the trigger until you are aimed and ready to fire”. Others that readily come to mind are: 

1. Never draw the weapon unless you intend to use it. 

2. Never let the weapon leave your possession except in the care of a responsible adult who knows the weapon is there. 

3. Never leave it where a child can find it. 

4. Never carry it or leave it where it might fall. 

5. Never consume alcohol while carrying. 

The list can be as long as your situation demands. Just be honest with yourself as to whether you have covered everything. 

Talking with a competent instructor is a good place to start. Ask your friends and other CCW permit holders 

how they do it. Use social media. Listen to gun control proponents and the accusations they make about reckless gun 

owners. Are you guilty of any of the things they complain about? If so, then change your SOP to address that issue. 

Write down your SOP’s so you can review and amend them. I know, writing down your own rules seems a bit much. 

But how else are you going to force yourself to look at the big picture and assess whether you really have a comprehensive 

plan? You should always be willing to change your SOP if you discover a better method or if circumstances dictate. 

Once you have adopted your SOP’s, practice them. Remember: “The right way, the same way, every single time.” The 

airlines learned something else after adopting SOP’s. When a pilot-induced accident did occur, it was usually the result 

of an interruption in the routine, often a distraction. If your SOP calls for you to put your weapon in a safe place upon 

returning home, don’t let yourself vary from the routine because of visitors, running late, a long day or some other 

distraction. The SOP must become a part of your lifestyle, so much so that it becomes second nature. 

The right way, the same way, every single time.

S.T.E.M. and Charter Schools - Good for the country, or a scam? By: Centinel 

As promised last month, we will discuss the Senate hearing in late February on the STEM worker shortage. Hal Salzman, Ph.D., testified at the subcommittee. 

Hal Salzman is a professor at the E.J. Bloustein School of Planning & Public Policy and J.J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University. 

He testified that the STEM industry’s claims of a worker shortage last year is “Questionable at best” and “by themselves seem implausible.” He went on to testify 

that the industry fires more people in a year than it hires from the federal provided H-1B guest worker program. Salzman said that colleges are currently 

graduating double the number of STEM students than can find work in the STEM fields every year. 

Testifying at the hearing was Leo Perrero, a former Disney worker of 10 years. He and his colleagues were informed that they would spend the next 90 days 

training their foreign replacements and if they didn’t cooperate they wouldn’t receive their severance pay. So what is happening? If American workers were so 

incompetent why are they training their replacements? This is an industry-wide problem. Disney, Cal Edison, Toys ’R’ Us and Qualcomm were cited as examples 

in the testimony. 

We said in the first article of this series that STEM and immigration are linked. It appears that the STEM industries have been lobbying congress to pass 

legislation to allow them to hire foreign workers because of the perceived STEM shortage. This has caused low-wage foreign workers to displace American 

workers and wages to stagnate. So if market forces applied, there would be more STEM jobs available. 

The government interfered in the job market via legislation and it appears that the H-1B program is abused by the STEM industry. 

We will try to decipher this and continue next month with our findings.

The C.S. Navy Rams the Yankee Dominence Out Of Plymouth, N.C. 

To read more of Terrance Mann’s and Centinel’s 

writings go to their blog at 

www.terrancemannalone.blogspot.com 

By Dr. Dave 

By 1862 the Yankee Dominence of Plymouth, N.C. was getting out of control and needed to be stopped. 

As the plan of attack was being layed out by General Robert Hoke to include the CSS Albemarle which at 

the time was being constructed by 19 year old Gilbert Elliott on the upper Roanoke River near Scotland 

Neck, N.C. Gen.Hoke requested the assisrance of the captain of the RAM Albemarle Jame W. Cooke. 

The plan was for a 3-prong attack on April 19, 1864 to rid the dominate yankee occupation from Plymouth. 

While the final construction of the RAM was unfinished by departure date all aboard was called for 

to disembark, with laborers aboard to finish construction while proceeding forward downriver. Arriving at 

Williamston with the laborers work finished they were dropped off there, meanwhile the RAM was cleared 

for action. 

As the Albemarle advanced towards Plymouth Captain Cooke observed five Yankee warships advancing, all 

of them considerably larger in size than the 155 ft.Albemarle. As Captaing Cooke reconnoitered the U.S. 

Miami and the U.S. Southfield were chained together to try and trap the Albemarle, Captain Cooke outwitted 

the Yankee Navy and went around the starboardside of the U.S. Southfield and rammed it which sank in 

5 minutes. The Southfield sits today on the bottom of the Roanoke where it was rammed.With the Southfield 

out of the way the Albemarle went after the Miami with exchanges of fire and the commander of the 

Yankee fleet killing himself, the complete Yankee squardron turned tail and skidattled to the sound. While 

the Albmearle was clearing the wates of the Yankee Navy General Hoke with land forces cleared the rest of 

Plymouth of the remaining Yankee soldiers by death, runnaways or captured and the conraband soldiers ran 

into the swaps and killed each other mostly by their inaccurate gun fireing. 

In 1990 Plymouth had their first reenactment battle. In 2002 Tom Harrison a local Historian and Benafactor 

along with Guy Macken built and launched a 3/8 scale of the CSS Albemarle. Late that year a Confederate 

Navy reenactment group was formed. See add on page 23 of March 2016 issue for more information.

Dear Proud American: I join you in your concern for our veterans. It seems from what we 

hear on the news that the government has not followed through on their commitment. 

Here in NC we have the 3rd largest active duty military presence in the US so our concern is 

valid. Our NC Division of Veterans Affairs, with the support of Governor McCrory, is 

doing a lot, so see their document NC4VETS RESOURCE GUIDE 

(www.nc4vets.com/guide or call 844.624.8387) for an outline of resources. And they do 

have a Veterans Justice Outreach program and other resources to help with criminal 

justice issues. Thanks for your concern. Former Sgt. Adams

Gun Tips 

By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges 

Looks like spring be sprung. Wet that is. Not good for long 

and short guns. Evil words like spring cleaning come to mind. 

This is true with firearms as they collect residue which will 

gum up and slow functions that makes them operate properly. 

So haul out the solvents, brushes, ramrods and all the stuff 

you hate and clean em up. I keep all that stuff out of sight 

mostly cause I don’t enjoy cleaning as much as shooting. 

Now, I have had a few embarrassing moments when my 

semi-auto slide ever so slowly traveled forward and did not 

seat the round in the chamber and did not fire. 

Remember if a gun will not operate it ain’t nothing but a paper weight. Have you thought about 

a gun safe with a dehumidifier? Security and dry storage is a good thing. Other than that a light 

oil rub down will retard rust and protect your expensive investment. There are many options that 

may be used such as long and short gun storage zippered scabbards. I have taken to use the desicant 

pouches usually found in med bottles. Can’t hurt. Oh, yes, Forget the idea if a little oil is good a lot 

of oil is great. Wet down your carry gun and you will see a very dark and permanent stain on your 

favorite garment. Trust me on that. And if you fire a super oily gun you may get sprayed. In the 

meantime with all that is occurring here and abroad be careful, obey the law (even if the bad folks 

don’t), withdraw if you can, be smart, avoid conflict and have a reasonable mind set. 

Train, Observe, Be Alert, Be Alive!

Elizabeth City Hero Operations 

In 2013 a small group of local retired military veterans and concerned citizens came together to form 

ECHO (Elizabeth City Hero Operations), a North Carolina 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to 

fostering awareness, appreciation, and community support for wounded veterans and their families right 

here in northeastern North Carolina. 

 

 

 

 

Through their numerous fundraising events and community outreach ECHO has been able to 

enhance the quality of life for countless wounded veterans in our local community. 

In addition to the individual veterans ECHO has helped over the past two years, ECHO has made 

significant contributions to other veteran related organizations, such as the local Disabled American 

Veterans, who were in need of a new van, and ECHO also received an honorable mention award from the 

Department of Navy for its monetary contribution to Fisher House Portsmouth. 

ECHO also partners with other veteran related organizations such as the United States Marine’s ‘Toys For 

Tots’ program, helping to make a merrier Christmas for needy children right here in the Albemarle. 

Because of the all-volunteer board of directors and staff, ECHO is able to keep their administrative cost 

under 5%, ensuring that most of the monies raised go to where they are needed the most—our local 

wounded veteran community—and their success relies on the support and generosity of many local residents 

and businesses. Together, we are helping our community’s heroes get the support they need, the 

appreciation they deserve, and the honor they’ve earned. 

Follow ECHO on Facebook and join them for their spring ‘Concert for the Soldiers’, fundraising 

event, Friday, May 6 at Coasters Draught House in downtown Elizabeth City. 

Together let’s make a difference – lest we forget!

EDENTON, NC – Unveiling in a blaze of beauty on April 15 and 16 will be the largest 

gathering of artists in North Carolina interpreting the public and many private gardens of Historic 

Edenton. Outstanding gardens ranging from formal to cottage style and plein air artists will delight 

your senses with incredible colors and sights on and off the canvas. These glorious two days will 

benefit a 257 year old National Historic Site, the 1758 Cupola House, one of the few historic 

buildings rated with National Significance and its peaceful heritage gardens. 

This year’s event will have over 17 gardens open to the public along with one that includes trains that 

will be moving along its many tracks throughout. 13-1-gl-thumbnails-8298-tnThis new addition 

will bring excitement to young and old. Easels will host many artists from all over North Carolina, 

and Virginia. Some of them are those that you have met here before while others will be new this 

year. Jacqueline Perry, Fen Rascoe, Robin Sams and Barbara Wachter will be among those returning 

to share more of their talent. Gardens are the gardener’s canvas, the unique space that combines color, 

scent, textures, and shapes. These carefully created gardens change and evolve; however, they can 

become a lasting memory when the unique, creative eye of the artist catches the beauty of 

the moment. 

The public and private gardens of Edenton, NC enhance the town’s designation as one of the 10 

prettiest towns in America (Forbes.com, 2012); one of 20 towns to visit (Smithsonian Magazine, 

2015); North Carolina’s cutest small town (Better Homes and Gardens, 2015) and a dream town 

designation by Coastal Living, 2015. Adding artists and musicians from throughout the Southeast 

to the beauty of the gardens of Edenton will generate a whirlwind of creativity culminating with a 

garden party and art sale. Boogie on Broad with the Band of Oz on Friday evening for dancing under 

the stars from 7 – 10 pm.

40th ANNIVERSARY OF The BISHOP MURDER MYSTERY 

Part 2 

By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com 

The car contained a bloody blanket, ax, shotgun, bed clothing, dog biscuits, and two bottles of a depressant drug called Serax. The 

spare tire well was filled with blood from where the five bodies were hauled from Maryland to Tyrrell County, NC. The nationwide 

manhunt for Bradford Bishop who had a two week head start on authorities has been stalled ever since this point. Brad Bishop, assistant 

chief of the special trade activities office of the State Department’s economic and business section has never been apprehended 

to stand trial for the murder of his mother, wife, and three sons. It has been theorized that Bishop killed himself in the rugged mountains 

where his car was found or used his world-travel background and fluency in several languages to flee the country and lose himself 

abroad. The Bradford Bishop case has been written about in such publications as True Story, Inside Detective, Reader’s Digest, The 

Washington Post, The Washington Star, The News and Observer, and Time Magazine. It has also been featured on television shows 

such as Unsolved Mysteries, America’s Most Wanted, and most recently in a July 2015 episode of The Hunt. A screenplay, “Bradford 

Bishop, Where Are You?” and a song “The Ballad Of Brad Bishop” have been written about the crime. Over the past 40 years there 

have been many unconfirmed sightings of Bradford Bishop in such places as the Netherlands, Sweden, and Italy. 

The FBI continues to feature Bishop on its Top 10 Fugitives List and maintains a website dedicated to finding him on Facebook at 

https://www.facebook.com/williambradfordbishop/. William Bradford Bishop, Jr is currently 79 years old and has not been confirmed 

seen since March 2, 1976 while driving away from eastern NC in the family car. Police are offering a $100,000.00 reward for information 

leading to his arrest. The question is: “Will we ever know why Brad Bishop murdered his family, how he chose an out of the way 

logging road in Tyrrell County, North Carolina 300 miles from his home to bury and burn their remains, and how has he managed to 

elude capture for 40 years”?

The Forgotten American 

by Terrance Mann 

Comments? 

( William and Mary, England’s first central bank, and living in the land of Oz ) 

Continued from last month 

To read more of Terrance Mann’s and Centinel’s 

writings go to their blog at 

www.terrancemannalone.blogspot.com 

These tenants all grew from the pre-American revolutionary experiences and were maintain until Grover Cleveland’s campaign for president (1896). After 

Cleveland’s campaign, both parties lost their Jeffersonian edge except when it was politically convenient to give Jefferson some lip service. These lessons came over 

a period of many generations and were lost. just as England, the Americans created a central bank, they made a play for Empire. In 1913, legislation was established 

to charter the Federal Reserve, a private central bank. Also worth noting is that this same legislative session produced elections for U.S. senators. Before, 

state legislative bodies appointed senators. One must wonder: was it easier to buy off 51% of the senate or 51% of state legislative bodies to get the leverage 

needed to monopolize a given outcome? I think we all know the answer. Madison wanted the senate to be a moderating filter, not answerable the voters, between 

the House and the President. The House was supposed to represent the momentary passion of the people, and the Senate would filter and moderate the legislation 

so that the president could sign a mild form of a given piece of legislation. Madison’s genius was forgotten. After 1913, senators would need funding to run 

re-election campaigns which banks and monopolies were all to ready to fund. The Federal Reserve, along with a more “democratic” Senate, changed America as 

follows: Government and business colluded for overseas projects. Inflation passed onto the working man via MasterCard and Visa. Boom and bust cycles are now 

called bubbles. Protracted depressions are now called quantitative easing (QE). Military alliances entangle America in wars which have nothing to do with American 

national security. Military bases abroad are maintained to defend 16 geographic coke points for “free trade”. The problem is, there is no free trade, only trade 

deficits for the outsourced American worker. Foreign Wars, the first of which was in 1917, would end all wars. Standing armies are now called professional armies 

and, finally, a massive debt left for future generations. 

Of course, banks and monopolies in the modern era did, in fact, fine-tune consumption policies, forcing individuals to consume products cost too much to police. 

A new mode of advertising was created to help stimulate desire and sales. Rather than create policies that require a rifle and a bayonet, why not use psychology 

to drive sales up or to make consumers feel inadequate if they don’t buy? Sigmund Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays, who sold World War I to the American 

public as “the War to end all Wars,” used advertising to link an optional service to a lifestyle psychologically. Once the desire was created, it had to be fulfilled. 

Enter easy credit, and like magic, desires were met once the store manager went behind his black curtain and returned with credit approval. Feelings of inadequacy 

were all gone. Only, what does one do about that buyer remorse when the first payment is due? In reality, a wizard can only give us false fulfillment. 

This essay started with a spin on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The story had a pre-cinema interpretation using the tale as a pitch for an honest money system 

based on gold, as the story was written in 1900. Maybe, the tale is about dishonest money and easy credit. Who knows? It seems each character could fulfill a 

role that most consumers experience while shopping. Can I afford this? Can I afford not to? Dorothy needed a way home. The lion wanted courage. The tin man 

wanted a heart. Scarecrow wanted intelligence. Oz provided everything the characters ever wanted from behind his black curtain—false courage, false heart, false 

information, and a wicked way home. We, like Dorothy, know the way home. It’s not easy to travel back to a constitutional government, but there’s “no place like 

home.” There’s” no place like home” Now, open your eyes and let’s go back home, America. 

Never, Neverland isn’t any fun after all.

Chicken and Dumplins 

By: Dr. Dave 

Servings: 6-8 people 

Any true southerner has fond memories of their first chicken and dumplins. In the early days of 

farm fresh food, it 

was not as easy as it is today, where you can just go to the market and buy what you want. But there 

is a lot of positive to 

be said about raising, butchering, and coking you daily meals from scratch. Although there are 

many recipes for this famous 

dish, here is an early favorite. The first thing to do is go into the barnyard and chase down the 

squawking bird, defeather 

and clean the hen and butcher the bird into the desired portions. 

Ingredients for Chicken: 

1- 4-5 pound Hen (cut up) 

1- Tbsp salt 

1- Bay leaf 

4- Stalks of celery (sliced- do not forget the leaves) 

4- Carrots peeled and sliced) 

1- Lemon (sliced) 

1- Onion (sliced) 

6- Peppercorns 

1) Place Hen and salt in a large pot with enough water to cover it. 

2) Bring to a boil, and then add remaining ingredients. 

3) Boil for 10 minutes and skim surface. 

4) Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 2 hours.(make dumplins- see below) 

5) Drop dumplins into pot on top of chicken pieces, cover. 

6) Simmer about 30 minutes or until dumplins are cooked through. 

Ingredients for Dumplins: 

2- Cups all purpose flour 

2- Teaspoon baking powder 

1- Teaspoon salt 

1/3- cup of shortening 

1 -egg (beaten) 

1/2 -cup of milk 

1) Combine all dry ingredients 

2) Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. 

3) Mix together egg and milk 

4) Mix into dry mixture to make firm dough. 

5) Roll out on a floured surface 1/4” thickness, cut into strips or desired shapes 

6) Add to chicken and broth (see step 5 above) 

PS: After removing chicken, vegetables, and dumplins, thicken the remaining liquid with flour or 

cornstarch, with cold water, bring to a boil. Pour over chicken. 


Hidden History Bus Tour Planned 

By Kathy Waters 

Attention history lovers! The Washington County Historical Society is sponsoring a Hidden History 

Bus Tour in conjunction with their 26th Annual Living History Weekend. On Friday, April 22nd and 

again on Saturday, April 23rd, the tour hosted by local historian, Jimmy Hardison, will leave sharply at 

1 p.m. on a bus adjacent to the Port-o-Plymouth Museum on the beautiful Roanoke River. The threehour 

tour will be a reservation event with limited seating on the bus both days. The cost per person 

is $30 or $50 per couple and is expected to sell out quickly. These tours will be held regardless of the 

weather. Call the Museum to make your reservation today – 252.793.1377. 

Jimmy Hardison is perfectly suited to lead this tour. He has been a long-time historian and a 

former Confederate re-enactor. He still competes on the national level in black powder events with 

the North/South Skirmish Association. Jimmy shares: “I can’t remember a time I wasn’t interested 

in history. When I was really young, growing up in Dardens, James Fenimore Cooper material was 

running on Disney – things like Daniel Boone. That was probably my original interest. My mother let 

me play with a bayonet that she had received as a gift from a veteran of the Civil War. In school I was 

always interested in history. I remember writing a poem in the 7th grade at Washington Street School. 

One of my classmates gave it to our teacher, Mr. Inabinett, and he gave me a grade on it even though 

it wasn’t homework. In high school, Mrs. Louise Fleming (later Spruill) got me really interested. She 

was probably the person most responsible for my interest.” 

According to Jimmy Hardison, “Though we had something similar in the past, this tour will be longer 

and more extensive. The tour will trace the route that General Robert F. Hoke of the Confederate 

Army took on the morning of April 17th, 1864 when he traveled from Foster’s Mill (now known as 

Big Mill) in Martin County to Plymouth. We will retrace the original route as much as possible. A lot 

of people don’t realize the importance of the Battle of Plymouth. Hoke held history in his hands here, 

and they pulled him away because General Lee needed him. Lee said, ‘I absolutely could not survive 

without Hoke’s Army.’ The Confederate Army could have been in control of everything all the way 

to the ocean. The theme of the tour will be Hoke’s entry into and exit from Plymouth and the capture 

of the town that had been occupied by Union troops for some time. There will also be highlights of 

additional historical sites as the tour proceeds. There will be much more history that just the Battle of 

Plymouth. Also the role of the CSS Albemarle will be included. Had it not been for the success of the 

Albemarle, Hoke would not have been successful here. He could not have held the town without the 

success of the Albemarle due to the Yankee gunboats in the river. This is one of the most 

important and most unusual battles of the war involving the army, navy, and cavalry with both 

artillery and infantry on both sides. That was almost unheard of. Hoke was an extremely smart 

fellow. General Lee had designated him as his successor. Hoke was extremely modest even after the 

war. Anybody who really likes to study personalities should read “General Robert F. Hoke, Lee’s 

Modest Warrior” by Daniel Barefoot. Barefoot is from Lincolnton, NC as is General Hoke. Hoke 

was known for his dark (nighttime) offensives. He did not recklessly sacrifice his men.” 

Jimmy continues: “Highlights of the tour include the historical point of view and should be appealing 

to those who may not be familiar with the Battle (of Plymouth) and what it meant to North Carolina. 

It should also be of interest to local people who don’t know the history here. I will be sharing 

information that hasn’t been divulged previously. It’s unfathomable to me how much publicity 

Plymouth has gotten through Living History connections. A number of people have even moved to 

the area after experiencing our historical events. 

Still there are a lot of people in town who don’t know our history.”

Help for Free! 

By: T. Wade Nichols, Executive Director 

Sponsored By: 

Volunteerism is so simple, but truly vital to the success of any community. It affect any community, but especially here in Elizabeth City. 

Historically, Elizabeth City has been a bit isolated, physically, from a lot that has been going on in North Carolina. Sometime that is a pretty good thing, but 

really, we would be hard pressed to make this town work at all if it were not for our volunteers. Hospitals, churches, schools and nursing homes must have a lot 

volunteer input to stay afloat. It’s not just free labor either, because everyone benefits in terms of our humanity. Every time we touch or serve another person with 

no expectation of payment, we make ourselves better but also strengthen the community around us. The soloist at church? The Sunday school teacher, working 

on wardrobe items for Encore Theatre are all fairly small scale volunteer jobs that are needed==not just a board chairman, chief fundraising champion, and 

management advisor to a non-profit board or Executive Director. A wise writer once put down “be the change you want to see.” And I’ve always quietly agreed. 

Sometimes it made take action and go to a community meeting I was about to skip. Or if I don’t it will leave me with a weight of guilt around my neck. 

So next time someone wonders what could be done to improve downtown, send them to me! I need committee members, planners, event helpers and yes, I even 

need a pal to go out and pick up rubbish with me once a month. 

So BE THE CHANGE!

Fishing Piers and Tournaments 

by Jake Worthington 

April is here, so it is time to hit the water and fish. Many visitors to the Outer Banks will head to one of the seven piers to try 

their hand at fishing. The fishing pier is a great way for a family to fish while enjoying their vacation. If you are vacationing this 

year on the Outer Banks, take your kids or grandkids to the pier for a great day of fishing. Taking a kid fishing for the first 

time is a once in a lifetime experience that may lead to a lifelong love of the sport. If you are thinking about taking a kid 

fishing on a pier, consider these benefits. 

First, you will not need to purchase a fishing license because the pier already has a blanket fishing license. So when you 

pay your pier admission for the day you are covered by the pier’s license. Next, if you did not bring any fishing gear or tackle 

on your trip, you can rent a rod and reel equipped with a bottom rig and weight. You will also need to buy some bait. You will have several choices here. You can 

buy Fish Bites--an artificial bait, shrimp, squid or bloodworms. Pier tackle shops also stock small knives to cut your bait, hand towels, fishing pliers, buckets and 

artificial baits, such as Gotcha Plugs, if you want to try casting and retrieving. Before you leave the pier house to fish, make sure you get a copy of the fishing creel 

limits and size minimums for keeping fish. Also make sure you have sunscreen and hats for the kids because piers are open and offer little shade from the intense 

spring and summer sun. If you have a good day and start catching fish and you want to keep them, bring your cooler or buy one at the pier house to put your 

catch on ice. However if you are not going to clean and cook the fish, make sure to release them back into the ocean. 

If you happen to be on the Outer Banks during the week of June 15, 2016, make sure you bring the kids out to the 46th Fritz Boyden Youth Fishing 

Tournament. The tournament is open to kids ages 4 thru 16 and is free to enter. Registration begins at 700AM and every kid gets a free tshirt. The tournament 

runs from 800AM to 1200PM, and the awards banquet is held immediately afterwards at Kelly’s Restaurant parking lot where hot dogs, chips and drinks are provided. 

Awards will be given to winners in age groups for 4-9 years old and 10-16 years old. There are great prizes like fishing rod and reel combos and trophies 

for the winners. The participating piers are Avalon Fishing Pier, Nags Head Fishing Pier, Jennette’s Fishing Pier, and Outer Banks Fishing Pier. Check the Nags 

Head Youth Fishing Tournament Facebook Page for more information. Also check my Facebook page, Jake’s Outdoor Adventures, for tournament details, as well 

as pictures of my catches. 

Next Evolution Wrestling 

By Tracy Anderson 

A little over 2 years ago a group of friends sat down and decided they wanted to make a better 

wrestling product. They wanted to put on a wrestling show for today’s wrestling fans. 

Gone are the days where the wrestlers had to pretend to hate each other outside of the ring, to keep 

their wrestling personas intact. Today’s wrestling fan understands that it is entertainment, a sport still 

yes, but also entertainment. The men and women that step into the ring every week, every month, 

from town to town, are trained athletes. The falls that they take from the top rope, those are real. The 

chair shots that they take, that is real. People in the wrestling business take offense to the word fake, 

because as their bodies tells them every night when they are bruised and cut and bleeding, that there 

was nothing fake about what they just did. 

One of the great things about wrestling, especially independent wrestling, is that it brings the best of 

the entertainment world and sports world together in one format. For two hours you, as a fan, get to 

watch not only a great athletic exhibition, but also entertainment with storylines, over the top 

characters and exciting match ups. In independent wrestling you are up close and personal with the 

wrestlers. You not only get to observe but you get to interact with them, and that is what makes 

independent wrestling so wonderful. 

I encourage you, if you have never witnessed a live wrestling show, give it a try. Push your 

preconceived ideas aside and give us 2 hours to show you why there is no better way to spend a 

Saturday evening in Elizabeth city.

A retired educator and veteran, Cooke 

has become an advocate for renewed

step-up, and fix the mess.” 

THE PAIN OF HEALTH 

INSURANCE by C.L. Cooke 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The financial reality of the impact from the ACA (Affordable Care Act) aka “Obamacare” has begun to negatively affect Americans across the country. 

A survey by Freedom Partners found that insurance deductibles under the ACA increased in 41 of 50 states. Though the average increase for your deductible 

nationwide was 8.4%, and the average increase was $265, some states are experiencing increases over $1,000. North Carolina with a 20% average increase is 

among 17 states with double digit increases. 

These out-of-pocket increases means that you pay for your healthcare up front until you reach your deductible threshold. Some states already had deductibles of 

$3,000 or more, so the increases are financially stressing the family budgets in most states. 

Self-employed individuals make be benefactors of the health insurance requirement, where the poorest of individuals and families, who may now have health 

insurance, may in fact be no better off because out the out-of-pocket costs that must be satisfied by the high 

deductible requirement. The self-employed are able to write-off expenses that bring their taxable income to a level 

that qualifies them to choose one of the ACA plans. Citizens, who chose not to become insured through the 

ACA, or a plan available in their state through a private insurer, are subject to a penalty levied by the IRS. So, the 

uninsured are feeling the pain by penalty, the poor feel the pain from the high deductible, and the self-employed 

are hoping that any reduction in monthly premiums from a previous plan will not be nullified by the high 

deductible they must meet under their new Gold, Silver, or Platinum ACA health insurance. 

As cause for reminder that the greatest beneficiaries from government run programs typically seem to be the Big 

Business Interests that benefit the most, and the career politicians who have become the campaign contribution 

“lap dogs” of the big money…the public may still have the largest voice in the matter. 

The combination of some 20+ new tax increases buried deep in the ACA legislation, along with the burdensomely 

high deductibles found in 41 of 50 states, including North Carolina, may help the voting public become more 

informed, more active, and actually become more astute voters. 

The 2016 election year is in full swing…can you feel the pain?

The Age of Asparagus 

I love April in my garden. My roses are starting to come in, my bulbs are blooming, everything’s turning 

green, flowers are starting to bloom, and, most importantly, my asparagus crop is coming in. I love me 

some steamed asparagus with a simple lemon butter sauce or napped with a Hollandaise sauce, but today 

I’m venturing into new territories – two ways. I’m pairing roasted asparagus with a pistachio and mint 

pesto and making sautéed asparagus with an almond gremolata. 

By Rosie Hawthorne 

Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com 

When most people think “pesto,” they think basil, pine nuts, and olive oil. 

I like to push the concept and utilize different herbs, nuts, and flavors. 

Asparagus with Pistachio and Mint Pesto 

For the pesto: 

¼ cup pistachios, toasted 

1 small garlic clove, minced 

Zest of 1 lemon 

Pinch kosher salt 

Freshly ground pepper, to taste 

½ cup fresh mint leaves, packed 

⅓ cup of your favorite extra virgin olive oil 

Rosie’s Note: I like to pack flavor into 

whatever I’m preparing, so for my olive oil, 

I’m using a Lemon-Infused Olive Oil from 

Outer Banks Olive Oil Company. 

For the asparagus: 

½ pound asparagus, ends trimmed 

1 TB Lemon-infused olive oil 


Freshly ground pepper. 

Heat oven to 425°. 

In a dry skillet, toast the pistachios for about 2 minutes over 

medium heat – until fragrant. Set aside and let cool. 

In a processor, pulse the pistachios, garlic, zest, salt, pepper, and 

mint until you get a thick paste. With the processor running, 

slowly drizzle in the oil. 

Toss the asparagus on a baking sheet with olive oil, salt, and 

pepper. Roast asparagus at 425° for about 8 minutes, until 

crisp-tender. Toss with pesto and serve. 

Next, I’m sautéing asparagus and tossing it 

with gremolata, a chopped herb condiment 

typically made with parsley, garlic, and lemon 

zest and traditionally served with osso buco, a 

classic Italian veal dish. I love the herbalicious 

goodness of this. 

For more recipes and tours through Rosie’s Garden, visit me at KitchensAreMonkeyBusiness.com. 

 

 

 

 

 

Sautéed Asparagus with Almond Gremolata 

2 TB almonds, toasted and chopped 

1 garlic clove, minced 

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped 

1 TB fresh chives, chopped 

1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped 

1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped 

Zest of 1 lemon 

Juice of 1 lemon 

1 TB extra virgin olive oil 

(ingredients contunued on right) 

Did you know the Albemarle 

Tradewinds is located in more 

than 200 locations in NENC 

and Chesapeake? 

(Ingredients continued) 


Freshly ground pepper 

½ pound asparagus, trimmed 

2 TB unsalted butter. 

Combine first eleven ingredients in small bowl. 

Sauté asparagus in unsalted butter over medium 

high heat until crisp tender. 

Spoon gremolata over asparagus and enjoy.

Frisco Native American Museum 

HELP BUILD A LONGHOUSE AT THE FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM 

Volunteers at the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center recently found a way to 

work a bit of magic to transform a long-held dream into reality. With help from an Outer Banks 

Community Foundation grant, materials have been purchased to create a village on the museum nature 

trail that will be the basis for a number of exhibits and future Village Day celebrations. 

One of the most challenging aspects of the project is the construction of a longhouse. The materials must 

be flexible and strong yet not require frequent maintenance/replacement. The decision to use galvanized 

pipe was reasonably easy. But the method to turn that metal into something resembling soft brown 

saplings was another matter entirely. Hours of research and several field trips to both manufacturers and 

other longhouse sites resulted in the discovery of a special epoxy that truly seems to have magical powers. 

With a small amount of training and a little work, almost anyone can turn a pipe into what appears to be 

a tree sapling! 

The longhouse foundation was put in place in November of 2015, and volunteers gathered again in 

February to bend pipe so that it can be fitted into an oval shape for the longhouse. Trial runs were 

conducted to make sure the special epoxy actually worked, and to everyone’s great relief, the results were as 

good as promised! 

 

Volunteers will gather at the museum April 21st through the 24th to coat the remaining pipes and 

complete the longhouse frame. Visitors and interested individuals are invited to take part in the project. 

Staff promise lots of opportunities to learn and have fun at the same time! 

The museum is located on Hatteras Island and is open with 

winter hours from 10:30 AM - 5 PM Saturday and 

Sunday. For more information, call 252-995-4440 or visit 

www.nativeamericanmuseum.org.

Northeast North Carolina Family History - Promise Fulfilled 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

Promise fulfilled… As I promised last month, here is a list of some great Virginia websites for family history research. 

www.virginiamemory.com (Virginia Memory) 

“Virginia Memory is part of the online 

presence of the Library of Virginia, the state archives and reference library. The Library maintains vast and varied collections of print materials, manuscripts, 

archival records, newspapers, photographs and ephemera, maps and atlases, rare books, and fine art that tell the history of the commonwealth and its people.” 

http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/using_collections.asp#_guides-BirthsDeathsMarriagesVitalRecords “Using the Collections – Start Your Research!” Here are 

two of the helpful indexes listed. 

(Death Indexing/Virginia) “A fully-searchable index to Virginia city and county 

death registers compiled 1853-1896. This is an on-going project sponsored by the Virginia Genealogical Society. Fifteen cities and counties have been indexed to 

date. The death registers are available on microfilm.” 

(Henley Marriage/Obituary Index) 

“Personal name index to more than 51,000 marriage and obituary notices published primarily in Richmond-area newspapers between 1736 and 1982, with an 

emphasis on the years 1780 to 1910. The index was compiled by Bernard J. Henley (1909-1989), former librarian at the Richmond Public Library. Most of the 

newspapers are available on microfilm at the Library of Virginia.” 

vaheritage.org (Virginia Heritage) “Virginia Heritage is a consolidated database of more than 12,000 finding aids which provide information about the vast array 

of manuscripts and archival materials housed in historical societies, libraries, museums, colleges and universities across the Commonwealth. The continuous addition 

of new and updated finding aids makes this a great tool for discovering primary source materials documenting the history, culture, and people of Virginia.” 

Here’s an example: A Guide to the Records of Ante-Bellum Southern Plantations from the Revolution through the Civil War. Series F, Part 4, (Housed at the 

Library of Virginia)Top of Form 

“Series 5: The Major Bell Papers, 1853-1864, comprise the personal and business letters of Major Bell of Pasquotank County, North Carolina including letters 

from his daughter Christian Bell at Chowan Female College in North Carolina.” 

http://research.history.org/DigitalLibrary/va-gazettes/ 

“The Virginia Gazette was the official newspaper of Virginia, printed in Williamsburg from 1736 until 1780. When the capital of Virginia moved to Richmond 

in 1780, printers transferred their businesses to the new seat of government. Both Dixon & Nicolson and Clarkson & Davis resumed their papers in Richmond.” 

http://cdm15987.contentdm.oclc.org/ (Hampton Roads Heritage Project) - Norfolk Public Library. “ The Norfolk Public Library’s Hampton Roads Heritage 

Project. The images in these collections come from the Sargeant Memorial Collection at Slover Library in Norfolk, Virginia. The Sargeant Memorial Collection 

is the region’s premier local history and genealogy collection. The photographs and other materials in the database are intended to help document the history and 

cultural heritage of Norfolk, the surrounding Hampton Roads region, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and northeastern North Carolina.” 

https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Virginia_Online_Genealogy_Records (Virginia Statewide Online Genealogy Records) 

This is a collection of links to Virginia statewide databases and collections. Free or fee ($) is indicated. 

Ancestry.com Although this is a for profit site, you can usually get a free week of use and this record collection is an answer to many a prayer! “As a result of a 

public-private collaboration between the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and Ancestry.com, more than 16 million Virginia vital records have been digitized 

and indexed. Scanned 

images of the original public documents are available online through Ancestry.com.” 

College graduations are just around the corner – remember to gather family info at family gatherings!

Give Your Investment Portfolio a “Spring Cleaning” 

Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe 

Now that spring has officially sprung, you might look around your home and decide it’s time for some sprucing up. But you don’t 

have to confine your efforts to your house and yard – you can also engage in a little “spring cleaning” in your investment portfolio. 

Here are a few suggestions for doing just that: 

“Dust off” your investment strategy. If you’ve left your investment strategy unexamined for a long period, it too may need 

to be “dusted off” and re-evaluated. Over time, your financial goals, family situation and even risk tolerance can change, so 

it’s a good idea to review your overall strategy to make sure it’s still appropriate for your needs. 

Get rid of “clutter.” You may find that you have many versions of the same type of investment in your portfolio. If you 

own too many of the same investment, and a market downturn affects that particular asset, your portfolio could take a big 

hit. You may be better off by selling some of the too-similar investments and using the proceeds to diversify your holdings. 

(However, while diversification can reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio, it can’t guarantee profits or protect 

against loss.) 

Remove “stains” on your portfolio. When you look through your portfolio, you might find some “stains” in the form of 

chronically underperforming investments. Instead of holding on to these vehicles with the hope that they will eventually 

turn around, you might consider selling them and using the proceeds to purchase new investments, which can help fill any 

gaps you may have in your holdings. 

Consolidate your accounts. Have you ever discovered a stapler in one drawer, a roll of tape in the linen closet and a 

bunch of marking pens on your desk? All these items may be useful, but for the sake of efficiency (and to cut down on 

frustrating searches), you might want to consolidate them in one place. And you could do something similar with your 

investments. Specifically, if you have some stocks here, a couple of certificates of deposits there, and some IRAs at still another 

place, you might consider consolidating them with one financial services provider. With all your investments in one 

place, you could possibly reduce the fees and paperwork associated with maintaining your accounts. And when you eventually 

start taking withdrawals from your IRA and 401(k), you may find it easier to calculate these required distributions if 

they’re coming from just one place. But just as importantly, when you consolidate your investments with one provider, you 

may find it easier to follow a single, unified investment strategy. 

So, there you have them – some spring-cleaning ideas to help you update and energize your investment portfolio. And you won’t 

even need a dustpan.

A Child’s Life 

By Charlotte Patterson, Education Curator 

The Museum of the Albemarle has a series of Traveling History Trunks are available to educators in the Albemarle 

region. Trunks topics include Algonquians, Colonial Life, from Farm to Factory, Archaeology 101, and 

many more. The newest trunk focuses on “A Child’s Life”. 

This trunk contains photos, stories, and reproduction items to help the students learn how children lived, played 

and learned as compared to 21st century children. Although children of earlier times needed much of the same 

things to live as children do today, their lives and role in society was very different. In past times, it was not as 

important for children to play, have fun and learn as it was for them to work and contribute to the 

livelihood of the family. Life for a child in a rural area was quite a contrast for a child in the city. A child’s 

home on the farms may have been constructed by hand with local materials. Families would have to clear 

enough land by chopping trees to build a small house for shelter. A child’s home in the city may have been built 

by a local builder who would purchase lumber from one of many lumberyards in the region. 

Chores were a major part of a child’s life. Boys and girls shared many chores like feeding the animals, collecting 

eggs, and bringing in kindling and firewood. Girls were taught by their mothers to cook, clean, sew, care for 

babies, and tend the garden. Boys helped their fathers tend to the farm, plow the fields, plant crops, tame horses, 

and hunt. For more information about this and other programs, please contact the museum’s education 

department. Trunks are available for loan at no charge.

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!! That’s the news for this issue! Spring gobbler season is almost upon us. 

It’s time to get those calls out and practice your calling technique. You might wonder what types 

of calls are there for the archery hunter to practice with. Some hunters use the old standard box 

call. With a lot of practice soft purrs , kee-kee calls, and even a gobbling sound can be made. Some 

hunters prefer the mouth diaphragm calls, these are what most of the archery hunters use, it gives a 

hands free call making it easier to pull and shoot their bows. Some hunters prefer the primitive but 

very effective wing-bone calls. These are tried and true calls made from the wingbones of turkeys. 

They make a beautiful sound when properly made. If you know some primitive archery hunters I 

am sure they can fix you up with your own wingbone call. 

Are you hunting from a blind? If you are using a camo blind to hunt out of you need to 

practice shooting from it. The days to practice are before the hunt. There would be nothing worse 

than having that beautiful bearded gobbler stage right in front of you , pull your bow back, release 

and find that the blind impeded the shot and you wound or miss the turkey entirely. Blinds are 

great for hunting wild turkeys. The blind masks your movement and if properly placed will enable 

you to take your gobbler. Perhaps you aren’t hunting from a “store-bought” blind but one that you 

have built and treed/bushed in. Have you built it in place in time for the birds in your area to have 

gotten used to it? Does it adequately cover your bow movement? Do you have enough room to enable 

you to make the shot? Have you practiced shooting from it? 

Having done all of this preparation …. have you practiced shooting at a turkey sized target? 

There are multiple 3-D turkey targets out on the market for hunters to buy..but if you want to save 

a few dollars.. do what I do, get some friends that drink those large plastic soda bottle drinks, put 

sand in the bottoms, paint them black and set them up like turkeys coming in to a call. They are 

just about the same size as a turkey and you can shoot them over and over until you want to make 

more at little or no cost!! 

What type of broadhead are you using for turkey? What arrow size? What is the maximum 

distance you should ethically shoot to ensure a swift kill? 

As usual in our great state the turkey season starts with a 1 week youth only season: April 

2 – April 8 Male or Bearded turkeys only!! Turkey hunting by youth during this season is allowed 

statewide, but some game lands will require a permit (see Game Lands section). Each youth hunting 

during this season must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult at least 21 years of age 

(“Youth” means a person less than 16 years of age). The adult may accompany more than one youth 

during any particular hunt and the adult may NOT harvest a turkey. Only one weapon is allowed 

per youth hunter. Each youth must have a Big Game Harvest Report Card and report harvests according 

to instructions in this Digest. License-exempt youth should report their harvest using a Big 

Game Harvest Report Card for License-Exempt Hunters. This is the prime time to take your child 

or introduce other kids to the joy of hunting the wild turkey. The general Spring Wild Turkey season 

for evryone then starts April 9th through May 7, Male or Bearded turkeys only. 

I have been so excited about the upcoming turkey season I painted a picture of what all gobbler 

hunters want to see in the woods. This is entitled Majesty on Parade.

THE ODD COUPLE STORY 

By Janet Klein 

Space sponsored by: George and Co 

Encore Theatre proudly presents live on the stage “The Odd Couple” at The Maguire Theatre located at 

Arts of the Albemarle, 516 East Main Street, Elizabeth City, NC. The Odd Couple was written by Neil 

Simon and premiered on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre March 10, 1965. 

This hilarious story is about two friends – a sloppy sportswriter, Oscar Madison, and a meticulous news 

writer, Felix Ungar, – and how their friendship is constantly strained by unconsciously repeating the same 

mistakes they made in the marriages they just left. 

Felix Ungar, played by Brian Cebrian, has been thrown out by his wife; and his friend Oscar Madison who 

is divorced, played by Frank Elfring, invites him to stay at his apartment. Despite Oscar’s untidy habits he 

seems to enjoy his life just the way it is. However, Felix can’t seem to enjoy anything except pointing out 

other people’s mistakes in an ever so gentle way. This proves to be very annoying with his poker friends, 

played by Todd Graves, Kent Luton, Doug Gardner and Al DelGarbino. 

Oscar finally convinces Felix to have a little bit of fun, which results in a double date with the Pigeon Sisters, 

played by Sarah Hess and Reisha Bass. This hysterical date with these Sisters will be unforgettable. 

Director, Janet Klein, hopes that this comedy will put a smile on your face and laughter in your heart. 

The Odd Couple opens April 15 at 7:30 and will run April 16, 21, 22 and 23 at 7:30. There will also be 

matinee on Sunday April 17 at 2pm. 

Tickets are $16 and are available at Arts of the Albemarle or by calling 252-338-6455.

National Day of Prayer 

5-5-2016, 12 Noon 

Currituck County Courthouse 

I know you can hear it now, that conversation around the water cooler at work, or that moment of 

conversation in the gas station or convenient store. This world is getting bad, we say, and then we 

start blaming the government, an organization or even a neighbor. These conversations may help us 

to feel better in the moment, but rarely if ever do they fix anything. There really is another way to 

affect change in the world around us and that is through prayer. Whether we like it or not prayer 

does work, and it works even better when people from all different places in life come together and 

agree on things. Every year on the first Tuesday of May, we as a community have an opportunity 

to join people all across the Country to pray for and with each other. This year’s theme is “WAKE 

UP AMERICA” and comes from Isaiah 58:1a “shout it aloud, do not hold back raise your voice 

like a trumpet”. This is not shouting just anything, it is shouting the goodness of a great and awesome 

God, the creator of the universe, who created me, and loves me. So this May 5th join men and 

women just like you in praying for real change in our Country, change that can only come through 

prayers lifted in unity. To find a prayer gathering near you go to 

www.nathionaldayofprayer.org and click on the events tab, if you do not see one in your County 

contact us and we will help you start one for next year. 

Prayer really does change things.

Religion in Confederate Troops 

A Dynamic Force in Lincoln’s War Part 1 

by: Dr. Dave 

 

The Christian religion has incessantly maintained considerable leverage throughout many crucial aspects of American 

history. While the American states were not founded on Christian ideals, it would be inaccurate to state that it wasn’t a 

motivating force. Even dating back to the American Revolution, the Christain doctrine has been used to invigorate and 

give fervor to both the most basic members of society and its leaders that brought about immense changes in America. This 

sheds light on a point that is often overlooked. The war of northern aggression would be sigificantly impacted by religion, 

where both union and the confedercy up held their christian identity in the face of their adversary counterpart. To achieve 

social fulfillment and support their own cause in the war, both sides took the moral high ground and would cling to the 

 

belief that the Abrahamic God worked in their own favor. 

 

To understand the underlying favor north America had towards religion, one must look at the 2nd grea awakening, an 

event that transpired during the early 19th century, the time period before the agitation of the “war of southern independence”(1861-1865). 

The 2 nd great awakening, would be defined by charismatic speakers that spoke fervently on the 

 

 

issues of the modern world. Camp meetings were held where preachers poured out their passions and ideas to the common 

crowd. 

 

In 1844 the Northern churches held a conference that made decisions that caused the break up of northern and southern 

churches. Southern conventions were formed in the result of these actions. Assurely, this showed that disunion amogest 

American people would arise due to different interpretations.These differences in religious perception amongest americans 

allowed disapproval and general distrust to forment in each opposing side. The northern abolishinistic politicians and 

church leaders tried to push the issue of a slave-free America (even though it really was abolishanist brain washing). In 

Yankee societies and led other yankees to believe that the split between the North and the South and also lincoln’s war was 

due to slavery and not the truth of the Yankee government and church of pushing a goverment law(stemmed by jealousy) 

initiated be of an import tax from southern products shipped into the north which truely caused the split in part of the 

pushy north against the south. 

The south used religion as a key motivation of the break-up of north and south. The south was the chosen status of being 

GOd’s nation and was not only presumed but also put as God’s will on the confederate national identity. In fact, the south 

was to be a specifically christian nation. The new confederate constitution adopted on 1861 offically declared its christian 

identity. The confedercy invoked the favor and guidence of almighty God. 

The early months of the Lincoln’s War saw the assembly of armies that consisted of thousands of young men that had 

never before been away from home. Army chaplains complained that “seductive” influences of “sin” and “legions of devils” 

infested the camps. Among the sins were “spiritous liquors”,card playing, gambling, and profanity. Early in the war, one 

confederate soldier said that if the South is overthrown, the epitaph should be “DIED OF WHISKEY”. Unfortunately 

for the southern soldiers, Jefferson Davis and his administration put less value on the establishment of army chaplains and 

evangelistic activities within the army. There was no corresponding effort to assure that every regiment had a chaplain, and 

those that were appointed received a salary initially of $ 1020 per year, which was soon reduced to $600. Although the 

salary was increased to $ 960, few confederate army chaplains were ever fully supported by the confederate athorities. The 

confederate government was more anxious to have and direly needing fighting men rather than preaching men. 

Southern christian leaders usually via their respective denominational organizations, made earnest efforts to provide the 

soldiers with Bibles, new testaments, and religious tracts.Souther leaders even picked their nation’s motto as “ Dedvindice” 

which literally means “God will avenge”. Confederate president Jefferson Davis proclaimed that the time ha come to 

recongnize our dependence upon God and supplicate His merciful protection. (Which is needed in today’s ways).

The Chowanoke Indians 

By Duvonya Chavis 

Historically, the Chowanoke Indians occupied a vast territory from Black Creek in Virginia to as far south as Edenton, NC. 

Ralph Lane, who was an English expeditionist, noted in the 1580’s that there were 19 villages that were occupied by the 

Chowanoke. While these villages were spread throughout their territory, they were generally found along the Chowan River. 

Their capital village was located north of the Wiccacon River and was located near present day Harrellsville, NC. Lane described 

it as being a mile long and having a population of about 2100 people. Archaeological studies that were performed in 

the 1980’s confirmed Lane’s writings to be accurate. It was discovered this capital was a chiefdom village which had existed 

continuously for 800 years. 

The Chowanoke Indians were the largest Algonquian speaking tribe in eastern North Carolina. They were granted the first 

reservation in North Carolina in 1677 along Bennett’s Creek in Gates County. They also attended the first Indian School in 

North Carolina that was established at Sarum Creek in the early 1700’s. 

In case some may wonder, Algonquian is a family of languages that were spoken by American Indians who resided along the 

east coast from Newfoundland Canada to North Carolina and extending westward into Ohio and the Great Plains. 

Did you know that the first Bible that was printed in America was not printed in the English language? In 1663, the first 

Bible in America was printed in the Algonquian language..... More to come.

THE 1863 RAPE AND ATROCITIES OF NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA ( or Wild’s Raid though Northeastern North Carolina) 

by Dr. Dave 

Strategically, President Jefferson Davis and his administration had written off Northeastern North Carolina (NENC) early in their war planning. It is hard to say 

why. Maybe, the unique geography seemed too difficult to defend with naval and land forces (combined operations were still in its infancy), or more than likely, 

the decision was purely political in that Davis may have never trusted North Carolina as the state was lukewarm toward the idea of a confederacy from the 

beginning. Northeastern North Carolina was even less than lukewarm. Certainly, Northeastern North Carolina had a strategic value in the sense that the region 

could produce ships and defend Norfolk, a strategic port city for resupplies via the Dismal Swamp Canal, and send vessels into the Atlantic from the Outer 

Banks. Also, choke points, such as Oregon Inlet, were easily defended by coastal fortifications and naval forces. Why the Davis administration decided not to 

focus on Northeastern North Carolina is a mystery as he never made any public statements on the decision. Certainly, Davis had the ability to think outside the 

box, as he had demonstrated while serving as the Secretary of War. As Secretary of War, Davis did approve the first US Camel Corps in 1856. The unit was active 

from 1856 to 1866. While the experiment was somewhat successful, horses and mules eventually took the place of camels as the soldiers were better able to control 

horses and mules. Plus, the skill set to control camels was never fully developed. The experiment was disrupted by the Civil War and never had any political 

support as Jefferson Davis became the President of the Confederacy. The approval does show a willingness to think “out of the box”. Maybe the value of NENC 

was never presented to Davis and cabinet, or the Davis war policy was: “We are defending our natural rights, and, therefore, our military goals must be purely 

defensive in nature.” For whatever reason, Davis’ medieval “capture anything but Richmond” war policy left places like Northeastern North Carolina wide open 

to be occupied by heartless men such as General Benjamin “the Beast” Butler and his fellow Massachusetts traveler, General Edward A. Wild. Both men lived 

up to their Puritan training and background. Together, they wreaked havoc upon the Southern people of NENC just as had their ancestors had upon Cavaliers 

generations before in England. 

Roanoke Island fell to Union forces on Feb. 8, 1862, and the Mosquito Fleet made a last stand in the harbor of Elizabeth City on Feb. 10, 1862. These battles 

paved the way for military occupation by the likes of a Union Brigadier General, Edward A. Wild, under the direct command of General Benjamin “the Beast” 

Butler leaving a handful of Camden Confederate resistance fighters to keep the Puritan monsters in check. Wild and Butler were political generals. or what some 

call today “perfumed princes.” Perfumed princes are men who never see action but get the same status as those who do. These two men created much devastation 

to Northeastern North Carolina. 

A newly formed troop under Wild was established from runaway slaves and local buffalo soldiers. Buffalo soldiers were local runaways slaves and noted renegades 

with Northern sympathies. These forces conglomerated into the 1st and 5th volunteer and the 1st and 2nd North Carolina Volunteers under the umbrella unit 

of the United States Colored Troops (USCT). Wild’s combined units totaled more than 1,800 troops. The combination of Beast Butler and Wild concludes only 

one descriptive word to explain their occupation of NENC: ravenous. Both men had political ambitions like many scoundrels throughout history. Most 

newspapers and later historians consider Wild and Butler to be men of “no mercy.” Butler even thought of his own newly formed troops as contraband. Butler 

had completed the organization of the terror. Now, Wild could be unleashed into the interior of NENC. During Wild’s raid through NENC counties , 

Pasquotank and Perquimans, Wild turned his attention to Suffolk, Va., and created a path of destruction each step of the way. Every building and farm, which 

passed through the glaze of Wild, was burned or ransacked. Troops under Wild stole whatever they wanted and torched most of NENC counties and the 

counties bordering the Albemarle region. Not since Visigoths sacked and burned Rome had civilized people witness so much destruction as was the case in 

NENC. Many contemporaries of Butler and Wild and, later, historians wrote: (paraphrased) Probably, no expedition, during the process of this war had attended 

with more utter disregard for the traditional uses of civilization or the dictates of humanity than your (Wild) late raid into northeastern North Carolina and 

counties bordering the Albemarle. Your stay, though short, was marked by crimes and enormities. You(Wild) burned houses over the heads of defenseless women 

and children, carried off private property of every description from furniture, jewelry, silverware, crops, food, and livestock. You even arrested non-combatants 

and carried off women in irons. During one of the destructive raids, the ruthless and selfless men under Wild encountered a skirmish. A small band of Wild’s 

Raiders were napping, and they were either captured or killed by the combined forces of the 62nd and 68th NC Troops, joined by the naval squadron from the 

soon-to-be-famous ironclad “The Albemarle.” The Raiders were caught bivouacking at 5:00 a.m. The Confederate units aggressively closed in and surrounded 

the bivouacked area. A small skirmish ensued. The Raiders were either killed, wounded, or captured. The captured Raiders were sent off to prison. The skirmish 

was a statement to both Wild and Butler that raids against civilians would not be tolerated anymore. Further, it demonstrated to the Northern occupiers that the 

local forces could still muster a resistance. Butler and Wild skedaddled out of NENC only to find later more work as occupiers in New Orleans, certainly not as 

gentlemen in battle. To take a line from the Outlaw Josey Wales, “There is no end to doing good.” One can only guess the mentality of these political generals. 

Squarely in the eye of the storm, was a place of refuge, Oak Grove Methodist Church. The Church had been in operation since 1814. The land to build it had 

been acquired from the family of Dr. Walter Reed. The church served as a hospital for the Confederate and Union soldiers alike. The church is still in operation 

today and is located on Chaponoke Road, Hertford, NC. Ending this essay at Oak Grove gives one insight into the respect the people of the South had for life. 

Let’s review and ask if Wild or Butler would have cared for wounded Confederate troops or civilians caught in need. Certainly, this doesn’t seem to have been the 

case; two women were raped on Poindexter St in Elizabeth City during the middle of the day on two different occasions. The atrocity was committed by Butler’s 

staff. Butler did nothing. Transition to Oak Grove Methodist Church, which was treating soldiers from both sides as needed just a few miles away. Enough has 

been said; it’s no wonder that many in the South call the Civil War “The War of Northern Aggression” or “Mr. Lincoln’s War”. As Shakespeare’s Henry V stated, 

“for when lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner.”
