Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury<br />

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury<br />

published in 1953. It is regarded as one of his best works. The<br />

novel presents a future American society where books are<br />

outlawed and “firemen” burn any that are found. The title<br />

refers to the temperature that Bradbury understood to be the<br />

autoignition point of paper. The novel has been the subject of<br />

interpretations primarily focusing on the historical role of book<br />

burning in suppressing dissenting ideas. The novel has won<br />

multiple awards. In 1954, it won the American Academy of Arts<br />

and Letters Award in Literature and the Commonwealth Club<br />

of California Gold Medal. It has since won the Prometheus<br />

“Hall of Fame” Award in 1984 and a 1954 “Retro” Hugo<br />

Award, one of only four Best Novel Retro Hugos ever given,<br />

in 2004. Bradbury was honored with a Spoken Word Grammy<br />

nomination for his 1976 audiobook version.<br />

Bradbury published a stage play version in 1979 and helped<br />

develop a 1984 interactive fiction computer game titled<br />

Fahrenheit 451. A companion piece titled A Pleasure To Burn,<br />

consisting of a selection of Bradbury’s short stories, was released<br />

in 2010, less than two years before the author’s death.<br />

Health and Nutrition Strategies For Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else<br />

Food as Medicine<br />

In all of my articles I assert that food is critical to health and quality food is essential to a superior quality of life. So today let’s connect some dots. The<br />

three essential or macro-nutrients are fat, protein and carbohydrates. We’ll start with fat/fatty acids.<br />

Lipid/Fats (Essential Nutrient)<br />

Current study data suggest that a fat imbalance can causes low level chronic inflammation. Low level chronic inflammation can express itself as : Arthritis,<br />

Cancer, Diabetes, Strokes, and Heart Disease. Some of the primary causes of death in the U.S.<br />

How does a fat imbalance occur, and how can we correct it? Here’s a common example that was typical in my family. When my family had bacon we’d<br />

save the grease to fry something else. Usually that was the Friday fried fish, and or my weekend favorite, fried chicken. Well it turns out fat is very fragile.<br />

Heat (frying) degrades the quality of the fat, creating an imbalance, triggering an inflammatory response. Getting back in balance is all about food choices<br />

(food choices probably got you out of balance).<br />

So in this dot connecting exercise, let’s follow the fat to the small intestines. The small intestines are lined with neurons (brain matter), and are critical to<br />

among other things, detoxification, controlling inflammation, and increased immune response. Sound familiar? Hint: Immune system.<br />

Fatty acids, include omega 3 and omega 6. When their balance is not maintained, inflammation will probably occur. The balance is compromised when the<br />

fatty acid chemical bonds are degraded by heat, or processed into trans-fat. To restore the balance, adjust your fat intake. My primary fats are Extra Virgin<br />

Olive Oil, Canola Oil, and my favorite supplement Fish Oil. All mitigate inflammation triggers.<br />

<strong>Final</strong>ly, I’m a disciple of “ Cause and Effect”. My background is in Food Safety, and my degree is in Nutrition Science. I lean toward clinical trials and<br />

study data, in my pursuit of the cause I’m not very influenced by testimonials.<br />

So, after all that, here’s my testimonial: Part of my cancer strategy includes annual bone scans. My original prostate cancer diagnostic scan, in 2005, indicated<br />

extensive arthritis of the spine. I had frequent stiff necks, lower back pain, and even carpal tunnel aches . I was advised by my medical people that it<br />

was probably due to my age. In 2008, I began a regimen of 2400mgs of fish oil a day. In my last 2 scans the arthritis was barely detectable, and I haven’t<br />

had any arthritic aches or pains in years. August 26th, I was 76 years old. It’s got to be the fish oil.<br />

Next month we’ll look at protein.<br />

DEEP CALLETH UNTO DEEP<br />

(Psalms 42:7)<br />

THE LABOR OF REGENERATION: PART I<br />

I entreat you not to leave your heart unguarded, as long as you are in the body. Just as a farmer cannot feel confident about the crop growing in his fields,<br />

because he does not know what will happen to it before it is stored away in his granary, so a man should not leave his heart unguarded as long as he still<br />

has breath in his nostrils. Up to his last breath he cannot know what passion will attack him; as long as he breathes, therefore, he must not leave his<br />

heart unguarded.<br />

Isaiah the Solitary, 4th century<br />

Often lamented in the contemporary Christian West is a dearth of the Faith’s vertical component. There is plenty of horizontal Western Christianity—<br />

there’s plenty of fellowship, and an abundance of charitable works. But introspective Western Christians frequently lament the absence of a serious tradition<br />

of deep spiritual work in their denominations. Indeed, the theology of most Western confessions doesn’t support an understanding of such work; and<br />

(as astonishing as it may seem to an informed Orthodox Christian) this need often appears to go altogether unrecognized.<br />

Perhaps this disconnect of modern Western Christianity from its ancient Orthodox roots proceeds from the recent Western doctrinal novelty of “once saved,<br />

always saved,”— a theology that dangles one’s eternal mantle upon the shaky peg of a single peak experience. If one feels that one’s spiritual task is a fait<br />

accompli, there would seem little for the Christian to do beyond works of mercy and a beckoning to those unfortunates who are as yet unsaved.<br />

And yet, what of the Western Christian who sees beneath the lustrous surface of his new “salvation,” and there perceives the reality of Fallenness? Who<br />

perceives there a corruption and the unblinking darkness within the very fibers of his own personhood, contemporaneous with, contending with the<br />

Light?—and who feels the movement of the darkness without, unsleeping, skulking through the substance of the world, leering just behind the façade?<br />

What of this aware Christian, who is unable to pretend that all is well?<br />

Small wonder that Christianity in the West has acquired among so many serious seekers an image as vapid and irrelevant. Or that so many serious Westerners<br />

abandon the Christianity of their childhood for Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Native American spirituality—and even Islam—world views that<br />

offer well-articulated theologies that speak frankly to their existential horror; theologies that are often accompanied by ancient and sophisticated traditions<br />

of deep spiritual work. And just as tragically, many seekers despair and retreat into an angry, dissipating humanism. Or they abandon themselves to drugs,<br />

alcohol, thrill-seeking, sexual license, and other brief flights of escapism.<br />

It was from such an horrific background of unanswered existential grief, and of desperate spiritual seeking, and of despair and degradation, that a certain<br />

contemporary American, a man of rare brilliance, one Eugene Rose (1934-1982), extricated<br />

himself. And, having once found the vein of Light, he abandoned horizontal meandering, and<br />

embarked unflinchingly upon a life of deep, vertical, transformative Christian ascetical work as an<br />

Orthodox Christian monk. From the monastery that he helped to found in the wilderness of<br />

Northern California, he established a ministry of the printed word that even now, over three<br />

decades after his death, testifies to the potential for real change of the deep heart through the<br />

authentic, ancient Christianity. It was to those who, like him, knew experientially the deep horror<br />

of Fallen existence, that he spoke especially. “How many honest searchers, if they knew all that<br />

[Christianity] really was, would not hesitate to embrace it?”<br />

Concealed Carry Law in NC<br />

North Carolina’s pistol permitting and concealed carry permit laws qualify as an alternative<br />

to the requirements of the Brady Law. Therefore, when a person desires to purchase a handgun<br />

from a federally licensed dealer, the person needs to comply solely with North Carolina’s pistol<br />

permit laws, and present a valid permit to purchase a handgun or valid North Carolina issued<br />

concealed carry permit. (Please note: Even if a NICS inquiry by a federally licensed dealer was<br />

done in this circumstance, it does notdo away with the necessity for a pistol purchase permit.)<br />

As always, any other transfer between private individuals is also governed by North Carolina’s<br />

pistol permit laws.<br />

Under North Carolina law, it is unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to sell, give<br />

away, transfer, purchase, or receive, at any place in the State, any pistol, unless the purchaser or<br />

receiver has first obtained a license or permit to receive such a pistol by the sheriff of the county<br />

where the purchaser or receiver resides, or the purchaser or receiver possesses a valid North<br />

Carolina issued concealed carry permit. This requirement to obtain a permit prior to the transfer<br />

of a pistol applies not only to a commercial transaction, typically at a sporting goods store, but<br />

also between private individuals or companies throughout North Carolina. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-<br />

402(a).<br />

In addition, this State law has been interpreted to require that a pistol permit be obtained by<br />

the receiver of a handgun when such person inherits a pistol as a result of the death of another<br />

person. The permit should be given to and retained by the seller or donor of the handgun. In such<br />

a case, the permit should be given to the executor or receiver of the estate of the deceased person.<br />

If the purchaser or receiver uses a North Carolina issued concealed carry permit for the transfer,<br />

the seller should reference such permit on a bill of sale.<br />

Further, it is unlawful for any person to receive from any postmaster, postal clerk, employee<br />

in the parcel post department, rural mail carrier, express agent or employee, or railroad agent or<br />

employee, within the State of North Carolina, any pistol without having in his or her possession,<br />

such a pistol purchase permit or North Carolina concealed carry permit.<br />

Dear Dr. Crime: How many people are on Death Row?<br />

Reader<br />

Dear Reader.<br />

At the end of 2013, combining state and federal statistics, we had 2,979 prisoners awaiting execution.<br />

The chances of being executed were low, as last year only 35 were executed. The states all<br />

use lethal injection to execute.<br />

<br />

Dear Dr. Crime: My daughter married a bum, a really rotten fellow and I am afraid he will hurt<br />

the kids or my daughter. I think he drinks too much. Do things like that happen as often as our<br />

TV suggests?<br />

Scared Parent<br />

Dear Scared: The US Bureau of Justice Statistics tells us that what you are afraid of was 11% of<br />

all violence from 1998 to 2002, and about half were against a husband or wife. Of those assaults,<br />

murder was less than half of 1%. The numbers are falling.<br />

Dear lady: You have a high chance. One in five women will be raped at some point in their life.<br />

Men don’t have that risk as only one in 71 men will be raped. You reduce your chances by being<br />

with other people and using common sense. Adding up all cost, each rape cost $151,423. What<br />

is really sad is that one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before they turn<br />

18 years old, often by family members. I get really mad at bullies, and the worse of all are the<br />

bums that hurt little kids.<br />

Gun Tips<br />

By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges<br />

There are about 150 semi-automatic pistol models available<br />

to the public. When you consider the variations in barrel<br />

length, calibers, materials used in manufacturing that<br />

number may well triple. The revolver, while not as popular<br />

as it was in the past, is still a significant contender. There<br />

are various calibers available for most of today’s firearms<br />

which offer more flexibility. I now use a Beretta 92FS in<br />

which I can cram 18 9MM rounds. On the flip side that<br />

thing is not light but the tradeoff is that it is accurate.<br />

Weight is of course important. Would you carry a five pound fifty caliber gun? Before you<br />

decide what to purchase, evaluate the purpose of the firearm, your physical abilities and how<br />

you will carry it. Then visit a reputable dealer who will assist and guide you in making the right<br />

decision. Remember if you decide on a great big gun it more than likely will end up unused,<br />

become a paper weight or stuffed in a closet. A rule of thumb is to carry as much as you can<br />

safely handle. For example, I have a .357 magnum revolver which is comfortable. The best<br />

part is its ability to handle two calibers; 38 special and .357 magnum. Now get ready for the<br />

sticker shock. Guns ain’t cheap. Costs vary from a few hundred to thousands of dollars.<br />

Ammunition is also expensive. You will have to determine what will serve your needs.<br />

Another expense is the holster. Get the best you can afford; you may find that one is not<br />

enough. Winter attire will make one unit better than another for ready access. Now that you<br />

have all that you believe you require, get instruction in how to shoot well.<br />

BE ALERT, BE SAFE, BE ALIVE!!!<br />

I’m Rich<br />

Not a penny in my pocket<br />

Holes in my shoes<br />

Torn shirt and ragged tie<br />

A time worn face<br />

Yet I can’t complain<br />

For I’m rich beyond belief<br />

For as long as I have Jesus<br />

I’m rich beyond belief<br />

Camden’s Summer Reading Program had its most successful year yet, helping to prevent summer slide from occurring<br />

The Camden Public Library was alive with the sound of music this summer as part of our annual Summer Reading<br />

Program. A combination of events for children ages birth to teen and a reading incentive program that rewarded children<br />

for time spent reading over the summer, the library was buzzing with activity throughout this year’s incredibly<br />

successful six-week program. Events varied from more traditional storytimes for the younger crowd to more educational<br />

and creative programming for the older ages, all based on this year’s theme, “Read to the Rhythm”. While Library<br />

Summer Reading Programs have always been a source of fun for families over the school break, recent research<br />

indicates that participants also score higher on reading achievement tests upon return to school than those who do not<br />

participate. With such data in mind, participants were also given a reading log to keep track of the time spent reading<br />

this summer—every 20 minutes read earned them an entry form for one of 16 prizes that were raffled off at the end of<br />

the program. For many, the prizes were the highlight of the program, a combination of donations and purchases from<br />

local community businesses and organizations collected by the Friends of the Camden Library. Participation in this<br />

year’s program far surpassed the previous two years, with an average of 65 event attendees weekly and over 230 reading<br />

logs distributed. An amazing 3,493 entries were submitted and a total of 69,680 minutes were logged by readers.<br />

Particularly considering the proven gains for children who continue to strengthen their reading skills over the summer<br />

break, we at the Camden Public Library couldn’t be happier with the success of this year’s program and what it means<br />

for our young readers’ future achievements. A special thanks to this year’s donors for helping us provide a variety of<br />

fantastic prizes! We would like to recognize Towne Bank—Camden Branch, Dockside Restaurant, Camden Shell Station,<br />

Belcross Bakeshoppe, Hairways Salon, the Camden Sheriff’s Office, and the Camden County Fire Department<br />

for their generous support.<br />

Angela Welsh Third Ward City Council Write-in<br />

Elizabeth City, NC – “The Pen is Mightier than the Sword”. Angela Welsh, a longtime local government and private<br />

sector employee, launched her write in campaign for a Third Ward City Council seat today. “Residents of the<br />

Third Ward are looking for a change in the status quo and I look forward to serving them and adding another voice<br />

of leadership, civility and expertise to City Council,” said Welsh.<br />

Welsh, a Summerfield subdivision resident stated that “to be a great City, we must address many critical issues,<br />

including: economic development, aging infrastructure, supporting our local businesses, supporting city services<br />

including our police and fire departments, providing our youth with the tools they need to succeed and ensuring our<br />

senior citizen population is aware of the services regional agencies can provide them.<br />

She went on to say that “progress in our City will only be realized when residents of the Third Ward elect responsible,<br />

civil representatives who vote for the best interests of our City instead of their own personal agendas.”<br />

As a long-time local government and private sector employee, Welsh has a deep understanding of the issues facing<br />

Elizabeth City and has forged many professional relationships across the State of North Carolina as well as the<br />

Hampton Roads region of Virginia, she said.<br />

Welsh is a 1995 graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University where she received a Bachelor of Science degree<br />

in Urban Studies and Planning. In her career, she has drafted, and been awarded, over $1 million in grants for local<br />

government projects. She also holds a certification in Low Impact Development from NC State and is also a North<br />

Carolina Certified Floodplain Manager.<br />

Area businesses and service providers still have time to register to participate in this year’s Perquimans County<br />

Business Expo on Thursday, Oct. 8 at the Perquimans Recreation Center in Hertford.<br />

Sid Eley, director of the Perquimans Chamber, said registration to participate will continue until Sept. 15.<br />

“We are still taking applications and we encourage local businesses to take advantage of this fun-filled networking<br />

opportunity,” said Eley. “We drew over 400 people to the expo last year and we hope to break that record this<br />

year.”<br />

This year’s expo features the theme “Cultivating Business – Planting Seeds for Success” and pays tribute to the<br />

area’s agricultural and country heritage. In fact, the expo also includes a Country Hoedown, free entertainment,<br />

live demonstrations including butter churning, and even a Hollering Contest.<br />

“I’d enter the Hollering Contest if they’d let me but I doubt they’d let me since I work for the Chamber,” laughed<br />

Cathy Wilson, Eley’s assistant. “I needed to get a hold of Sid one day but he’d left his cell phone in the office. I<br />

knew he was in the neighborhood so I stuck my head out the Chamber’s front door. I saw him walking near the<br />

Methodist Church over in the next block so I hollered at him. He heard me immediately so I guess I holler real<br />

well.”<br />

Antique farm equipment will be on display, a free spa will pamper attendees, and free windshield washing for<br />

vehicles will also be available. Lunch will be offered by members of the InterCounty Ruritan Club. Fifteen area<br />

restaurants and caterers will offer food samples during the Country Hoedown. A Chefs and Sweets Challenge (a<br />

penny a vote) will benefit the Jimmy “Catfish” Hunter ALS Foundation.<br />

Expo hours run from Noon to 4 p.m. and the Country Hoedown runs from 5-7 p.m. Admission to the Expo is $1.<br />

Admission to the Country Hoedown is $10.<br />

Tyrrell County, North Carolina Genealogy<br />

By Jimmie Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com<br />

Charles Barnes is the creator and webmaster of the Internet site known as “Tyrrell County, North Carolina Genealogy.”<br />

This site is part of the North Carolina Genweb Project and is one of if not the most comprehensive county genealogical<br />

site in the project. The website is located at http://www.ncgenweb.us/tyrrell/TYRRELL.HTM and includes many great<br />

genealogical resources. Charles has done a fantastic job promoting and displaying Tyrrell County research resources<br />

since 1997 through Bible records, tax records, census records, wills, deeds, marriage records, and death records. You<br />

can actually view a photo of real death certificates from 1913-1935 which is great. He has also been a staunch<br />

supporter via the Internet for the Tyrrell County Genealogical and Historical Society by offering membership<br />

applications online. Charles Barnes was born in Washington, DC. He is the son of the late Charles Wilson Barnes who<br />

was in the US Army Band stationed at Fort McNair. Charles traces his roots to Tyrrell County through both the Barnes<br />

and Brickhouse families. His great-grandparents were Wilson I. Barnes and Sarah Rhodes (paternal) and William<br />

Brickhouse and Georgianna Merritt (maternal) all deeply rooted Tyrrell County families. Charles graduated from<br />

Virginia Tech in 1964 and went into the Regular Army as a lieutenant. He spent the next 25 years as an infantry officer<br />

and an aviator which included two tours in Vietnam. In 1980 he was assigned to the Pentagon and spent the next eight<br />

years there until closing out his military career as a lieutenant colonel. He has continued to work there since retirement<br />

as a computer systems analyst, programmer and database administrator. Charles has made northern Virginia his home<br />

and has one son and five adopted children from other marriages. His hobbies include genealogy, gardening, fishing, and<br />

history (especially of the Civil War since he had 3 great-great-grandfathers from Tyrrell County who served during the<br />

War Between the States). Tyrrell County and researchers should thank Charles for the fine job he has done representing<br />

our county in cyberspace through his gracious efforts on this website.<br />

THANK YOU CHARLES, for your dedication and contribution to Tyrrell County and those interested in<br />

researching their connection to it!<br />

Great Bridge Battlefield &<br />

Waterways History Foundation<br />

The Battle of Great Bridge on December 9, 1775, played a critical role in the Revolutionary War and the subsequent<br />

creation of our great nation. It was this Patriot victory that forced Lord Dunmore, British Royal Governor of<br />

Virginia, and his soldiers to evacuate and ultimately leave Virginia. As a direct result of this victory, four days after<br />

this crucial battle, the Virginia Convention adopted the first public declaration expressing a spirit of independence.<br />

How different our country might be had it not been for the Battle of Great Bridge and the significant contributions<br />

of our waterways.<br />

The planned replacement of the bridge spanning the Intracoastal Waterway in Chesapeake, Virginia by the U.S.<br />

Army Corps of Engineers in the mid 1990’s, provided the final opportunity to reclaim and preserve an irreplaceable<br />

piece of American History. In order to save and preserve the battlefield and promote the national importance<br />

of the battle and the Albemarle and Chesapeake and Dismal Swamp Canals, immediate action was needed. To this<br />

end, a group of prominent citizens formed The Great Bridge Battlefield and Waterways History Foundation and<br />

created partnerships with the city of Chesapeake, state of Virginia, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, public and<br />

private organizations, and businesses and individuals to together create a museum/visitor center, public park, and<br />

trail facility. By 2013, over 6 million in cash and in-kind service donations, grant awards, and government support<br />

has been put to work. The Historic Park is open to the public and construction of the museum/visitor center is<br />

underway.<br />

<br />

Island Breeze – A Culinary Delight<br />

by C.L. Cooke<br />

<br />

Doris and Shem Johnson have provided downtown Elizabeth City with one of the finest complements to<br />

dining I could hope for. Our local vinegar based culture can be elevated to a dining pleasure accentuated<br />

with a spice and herb combo.<br />

Thyme, garlic, curry, green onions, and other secret spices flavor chicken, beef, turkey, goat, and fish to a<br />

mouth watering level. The heat from these flavors is never overwhelming. But, one can cleanse the palate<br />

with a cool and leveling taste from the fresh fruit and salad bar. Cantaloupe, grape, strawberry, cucumber<br />

salad, and mixed green salad allowed me to restore my taste buds for the next spice filled taste from the<br />

daily buffet.<br />

Soybean oil is used for cooking most entrees with its healthy effects on the body. Some people apply the<br />

oil directly to the skin to repel mosquitoes and other insects.<br />

Local fruits, vegetables including cabbage, collards, and tomatoes are presented while most of the spices<br />

are also home-grown and hand-picked.<br />

Do yourself, friends, and loved-ones a favor while enjoying a nutritious dining experience like no other.<br />

Though Island Breeze is closed Saturday, the M-F buffet runs from 11-4 and Sunday serves from 12-7.<br />

Call 338-0048 for more information on desserts, specialty salads, and non-alcoholic drinks. Domestic beer<br />

is $2.00 on Monday and Tuesday. The dark mahogany accent in the restaurant emanates an elegant and<br />

soothing aura of aristocracy.<br />

You’ll leave feeling like a King.<br />

More on Pier Fishing.....<br />

by Jake Worthington<br />

As I am sitting here writing this column, I just came to the realization that summer is almost over! Where did it go?<br />

It just seems like yesterday that I got out of school for the summer, and now it is time to go back. I did have a very<br />

good year on the fishing front during this summer. I spent a lot of time on the pier planks at Avalon Fishing Pier. My<br />

days began at around 300AM, and I was usually the first person there to claim my spot on the end of the pier for live<br />

baiting. Being on the water every morning also gave me a front row seat to the most beautiful sunrises over the<br />

eastern waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Pier fishing is a great way to fish, and many a successful charter boat captain<br />

got their start on the pier. When you think about it you are on a stationary fishing platform, where the fish have to<br />

come to you. You have to be ready when they are because you may only get one shot at hooking that trophy fish.<br />

Pier fishing during the summer is a great way to meet new people who share your love of the sport of fishing.<br />

The people visiting the pier change from week to week as they come to the Outer Banks for their summer vacation. There are also the same group of “Pier<br />

Rats” who hit the planks every day. They show up before they go to work to take advantage of the morning sunrise Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel blitzes.<br />

Others, like me, are on break from school or college while others are retired. Some hardcore fisherman will take their two week vacation, and spend it on<br />

the pier fishing. Some bring their whole family and make it a family event. Fishing on the pier is sort of like a social event because you get to meet new<br />

people and see old friends. Some people I have met while growing up on the pier come back year after year to fish on the pier while on vacation. Some<br />

people you meet and never see again, and then there the ones you build lifelong friendships with.<br />

The pier is a great place to grow up on throughout the years. A lot of older fisherman are there to dispense advice on fishing and on life. You experience<br />

the loss of old friends as death claims them. When you return to the pier they are no longer there, but their memory still is present, as you and others<br />

reminisce about them. The fishing elders of the pier lookout for the younger ones and help keep them in line. One of our experienced fisherman even<br />

staged a knot tying class at the picnic table, and about six of us kids soaked in his knowledge like a sponge. You can really learn a lot on the fishing pier,<br />

not only about fishing, but about life in general.<br />

Does Anyone Aspire To A Living Wage,<br />

by C.L. Cooke<br />

The table below shows us that the minimum wage as currently set requires one to seek public assistance or a second job in order to meet their basic<br />

needs. In short, one adult earns about $4,000 per year less than the local cost-of-living in Pasquotank County, NC.<br />

In conclusion, the living wage for a single adult would not require or qualify one for public assistance. The impact on cost to the employer which is usually<br />

passed on to the consumer is an exercise in graduate level economics and finance. But let’s find out what the people think about how to raise folks<br />

out of poverty, or is it just an exercise of futility.<br />

Please complete the choices below and follow the directions to have your choice counted.<br />

__Government regulations drive costs too high for the poor person to escape poverty.<br />

__Government assistance is designed to keep people dependent.<br />

__A true free market economy is best to provide a chance to live above poverty.<br />

__I live better with government assistance than working for minimum wage.<br />

Remember, voters can change the workings of government, but do we know what can change the desire of a person to succeed.<br />

Panzanella – Summer On A Plate<br />

By Rosie Hawthorne<br />

Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com<br />

Panzanella is a classic Tuscan bread salad celebrating the last vegetables of your<br />

garden’s bounty. No doubt invented out of necessity, panzanella was created by<br />

frugal Italian cooks as a way to utilize stale bread and beautiful summer vegetables.<br />

Basically a “poor man’s dish,” panzanella comes from humble origins, belonging to<br />

farming traditions when farmers would simply take stale bread and tomatoes with<br />

them to the fields for breakfast. With the addition of vividly colored, bright<br />

vegetables, it’s the quintessential summer salad with a rustic, light, and fresh flavor.<br />

Panzanella Salad<br />

For the croutons:<br />

1 loaf day-old rustic, hearty bread,<br />

torn into 1-inch cubes<br />

2 TB extra virgin olive oil<br />

2 TB unsalted butter, melted<br />

freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste<br />

Heat oven to 300°. Place a baking sheet in the<br />

oven with two tablespoons butter on it and let the<br />

butter melt as the oven heats. Remove pan from<br />

the oven, add the olive oil, then quickly toss the<br />

bread crumbs in the pan to coat with the oil and<br />

butter. Season with freshly ground salt and pepper.<br />

Bake until croutons are light brown and crunchy,<br />

about 25 minutes.<br />

While the croutons are baking, make the<br />

vinaigrette and prep the vegetables.<br />

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

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

For the vinaigrette:<br />

1 garlic clove, minced<br />

1 shallot, minced<br />

1 TB lemon juice<br />

2 TB red wine vinegar<br />

1 tsp Dijon mustard<br />

1/3 cup extra virgin fruity olive oil<br />

Kosher salt and freshly ground<br />

pepper, to taste.<br />

Combine first 5 ingredients, then<br />

gradually whisk in the olive oil to<br />

form an emulsion.<br />

Season to taste.<br />

Did you know the Albemarle<br />

Tradewinds is located in more<br />

than 200 locations in NENC<br />

and Chesapeake?<br />

For the salad:<br />

3 large ripe tomatoes, cut into ½ inch cubes, preferably those<br />

vibrantly-hued heirloom tomatoes (You want a mix of color.)<br />

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced<br />

2 bell peppers, cut into ½-inch cubes<br />

I always use a combination of colors - green, yellow, orange,<br />

and red peppers. I like the pretty.<br />

1 medium red onion, chopped<br />

1 cup loosely packed basil leaves, torn<br />

Combine salad ingredients and croutons. Pour vinaigrette over<br />

top and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and epper. Let<br />

mixture sit at least 30 minutes. This is where the magic happens.<br />

The longer it sits, the juicier it gets and the bread is able<br />

to absorb the tomato juices and all those seductive flavors.<br />

Serve at room temperature.<br />

Quakers, Manumission, and the Underground Railroad<br />

by Wanda E. Hunt McLean<br />

wehunt@roadrunner.com<br />

December 15, 1796<br />

TEN DOLLARS REWARD.<br />

MADE his escape, on the 16th instant, near Hertford, in Perquimans, my negro fellow JOB; he is about 5 feet 6 inches, rather black, has remarkable small<br />

feet and hands, 25 or 30 years of age; he was bred in Perquimans, and probably he my be lurking about there, as he has a mother and other relations not far<br />

from Hertford; he was one of the negroes emancipated by the Quakers, and taken up and sold by order of court; it is more than probable that they may wish<br />

to secret him; all those who offend that way, may rely on being dealt with in the utmost severity of the law. The above reward will be given to any person<br />

that will deliver said negro to me, or confine him in goal [jail] so that I get him again, together with all reasonable expences.<br />

Pasquotank, Nov. 28, 1796 THOMAS POOL<br />

The above slave runaway ad was published in the State Gazette of North Carolina (Edenton), 1791-1799, and it represents Quakers and the manumission of<br />

their slaves, which was very prevalent in northeastern North Carolina.<br />

Quakers believed in peace, a simple life, equality, and integrity. They also believed that slavery caused idleness in their children. The leaders of their religion<br />

finally ruled that one could not remain in the sect if they owned African or American Indian slaves. The Quakers tried to find ways to free their slaves.<br />

Because of this law in their religion they involved themselves in manumission, or to free somebody from slavery. In 1777 the North Carolina General Assembly<br />

passed a law to stop manumission entitled “An Act to Prevent Domestic Insurrection.” In Perquimans the Quakers were freeing their slaves. They<br />

were captured by the sheriff and resold back into slavery. This activity happened over and over again. <strong>Final</strong>ly in 1786 a group of Quakers presented a petition<br />

to the General Assembly requesting that freed slaves not be captured and sold back into slavery. This petition was denied.<br />

Quakers were against breaking the law, but this did not stop their Underground Railroad activities. The legal avenue was not working and as a result the<br />

Quakers developed a strong secretive network of conductors and stations throughout the South. For North Carolina I have seen references for a network of<br />

Underground Railroad activity between the towns of Goldsboro, New Bern, and Rich Square. A large operation of activity took place at the home of Henry<br />

and Dorothy Copeland, Quakers originally from Perquimans, and Chowan counties. It is documented on file in the Friends Historical Collection at Guilford<br />

College that this couple was instrumental in safely hiding and guiding over 300 runaway slaves to freedom through their house in Rich Square. This<br />

couple’s work has been recognized and designated as part of the Underground Railroad story through the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom<br />

Program-National Park Service. This does not even touch on the work of Levi Coffin and the New Garden Friends Meeting in Greensboro, Guilford<br />

County.<br />

“The Underground Railroad and the Manumission and Colonization Society of North Carolina were both tools of Guilford County Quakers. Settlement of<br />

freed slaves was made in Haiti and Liberia, with Guilford Quakers involved all the time.<br />

One shipload of freedmen was diverted to New Orleans<br />

by a greedy captain, who sold them back into<br />

slavery. One of the slaves had been taught to write by<br />

the Quakers, and he succeeded in sending back a letter.<br />

Thereafter, a representative of the Quakers was on<br />

every ship until the people were landed in a safe port.”<br />

Louis C. Tiffany: Art and Innovation<br />

By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle<br />

On <strong>September</strong> 22nd, the Museum of the Albemarle will open its newest exhibit Louis C. Tiffany: Art and<br />

Innovation. The name Tiffany is recognizable to many but few may know that Louis Comfort Tiffany, famed<br />

for his innovations in glass, was the son of Charles Tiffany, founder of the internationally acclaimed Tiffany<br />

and Company. Featuring pieces on loan from private collectors and several institutions, the exhibit tells the<br />

story of the companies created by father and son as well as putting Tiffany’s stained glass in the context of<br />

the broader Art Nouveau style.<br />

Glass such as those pieces seen in the Tiffany exhibit require special handling and cleaning techniques.<br />

The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works has a great website that will help<br />

individuals learn how to care, handle, and store personal artifacts. The link http://www.conservation-us.org/<br />

about-conservation/caring-for-your-treasures#.VZ_hPU9VhHw gives you options of learning about textiles,<br />

metals, books, photographs, furniture and even video tapes. Be sure and review the page discussing ceramics<br />

and glass.<br />

If you have any questions regarding conservation of artifacts, please join us on November 13, <strong>2015</strong> for Conservation<br />

Assistance Day. Professional conservators will be available to give to assessments and advice on<br />

care of up to three objects. To make an appointment, call Rhiana Srebro, Office Assistant for the Museum of<br />

the Albemarle, at 252-335-1453. She will ask for your name, address, and phone number and for some information<br />

about the object(s) you would like to discuss with the conservators. Please let her know if you also<br />

wish to speak with a curator during your appointment. Appointments will last about 30 minutes. Please note<br />

that the museum cannot assist patrons in transporting objects. First appointment is at 9:30am, lunch 12-1pm,<br />

Northeast North Carolina Family History - The Internet (continued)... By: Irene Hampton -<br />

nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com<br />

In August, I joined over 80,000 volunteers in a worldwide indexing event sponsored by FamilySearch. Over 12 million records were indexed and my effort<br />

involved South Carolina death records in the 1950’s. Not even a drop in that huge bucket, but a contribution none the less.<br />

FamilySearch is the free website for genealogy research provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). On that site you can<br />

create your tree and add photos, create an album, add stories, documents or audio. After starting your tree, when you select a person to look at, Research<br />

Helps will appear on the right side of your screen with Records Hints that list records that person appears in, like census or vital records. These can then be<br />

added to that individual’s record as documentation.<br />

To quote the site: “FamilySearch Family Tree is a collaborative pedigree that enables people to work together.” Their tree allows families across the world<br />

to share and build their genealogy. But be warned that this also allows others to “change” information they feel is incorrect which can get interesting. One<br />

great benefit is that pictures of family members you didn’t know existed may be added by someone. I’ve not had that experience yet, but know others who<br />

have.<br />

The site’s Learning Center has hundreds of genealogy courses, including 21 “5 Minute Genealogy episodes”. The site also offers research information in<br />

14 languages.<br />

Many local researchers have been dismayed as county records, particularly early will books, have been sent to Raleigh. I would ask my class to follow<br />

these instructions to find digitized versions of many county records. On the FamilySearch website, click the Search link, under the map to the right, click<br />

on the Browse All Published Collections link and scroll through over 2000 alphabetical listings to the North Carolina Probate records, 1735-1970 link.<br />

Don’t be afraid to click on the Browse through 1,147,259 images link as it will then give you a list of North Carolina counties. Chose the county of your<br />

interest and you will see various records: bonds, orders and decrees, will indexes and will books. As each image, not just page is numbered, be aware that<br />

images numbers and page numbers will be slightly different.<br />

The US Census from 1790 through 1840 is available and it is indexed - in fact, volunteers got the 1940 census indexed here before Ancestry.com did! A<br />

camera image to the left of a collection indicates digitized images are available. If Browse Images appears to the right of a collection, the records are available<br />

but not yet indexed. There are over 150,000 digitized family history publications available under the Books tab on the home page. There is a blog and<br />

a wiki (over 80,000 articles) with additional helps for beginners or advanced researchers.<br />

As I stated previously, this is my favorite free site and it continues to grow daily. Let me know what you think. I’ll list a number of great internet links to<br />

other helpful sites in the not too distant future. Stay tuned.<br />

<br />

Mention this Ad and get<br />

a free Hot Dog when you<br />

purchase a Hot Dog.<br />

Bryon’s at 110. N. Poindexter – Somewhere In Time by C.L. Cooke<br />

Good things should never be forgotten. The food, preparation, and spirit emulate the local Hot Dog stand of<br />

the 1950’s…but improved. Stacey and Bryon Hickman are both local born and reared. Northeastern North<br />

Carolina BBQ is minced with coleslaw on…and so it is at Bryon’s. Then what in the world is the Nixon’s<br />

BBQ doing on a hot dog bun? Because this is a hot dog stand first, and then some. Orange, lemon, and lime<br />

are squeezed fresh to remind us of the local soda fountain . There is an assortment of novelty candies and<br />

other drinks that correctly complement the Hot Dog and BBQ. The grilled hot dog on the steamed bun is made<br />

distinctive by the 11 ingredients found in the chili preparation. Some may want to add an old school twist with<br />

pig’s feet or a Kosher or Sour Dill pickle on the side. While the Hickman’s have captured the rural charm of<br />

the past, they create a spiritual atmosphere of reverence and courtesy.<br />

The radio plays contemporary Christian music at an easy to digest volume. Bring the kids. With Fall and<br />

Winter approaching, we can anticipate homemade soups and chicken potpie. Even now you can munch the<br />

homemade desserts and wash it down with a cup of Maxwell House coffee, or hot chocolate.<br />

Don’t forget; on the way out you can take a jar of Chapanoke honey home. Honey will not spoil.<br />

Enjoy time downtown Elizabeth City and experience<br />

Somewhere In Time at Bryon’s from 10:30 – 5, M-Th and 10:30 – 3 every Friday.<br />

Call 339-2493. No Reservations Needed<br />

Next Evolution Wrestling<br />

If you weren’t sitting in a chair at the Elizabeth City National Guard Armory August 22, then you<br />

missed an exciting night of wrestling action. Loyalties were tested, alliances were made and chaos<br />

reigned.<br />

The night started with a few rookie guys looking to make a name for themselves. However, long time<br />

tag team and former NEW tag team champions Army of 2 taught the newcomers a few lessons that<br />

they won’t be forgetting anytime soon.<br />

Tag team champions The Geordie Bulldogs again showed their dominance in this sport by fighting a<br />

hard battle against Outlaw Inc. In the end the Bulldogs defeated Outlaw Inc, and succeeded in creating<br />

a rift in the team. Sam Bass blaming Ryan Nuzzi for their loss, walked out on his partner. What this<br />

means for their tag team no one knows yet.<br />

Main event, set to be the ultimate battle. AIWF champion Damien Wayne against NEW champion<br />

Beau Crockett, title against title. It started off with each champ trying to out wrestle the other. As<br />

Crockett started getting the upper hand, Wayne resorted to cheating, pulling every dirty move he could.<br />

After an impressive belly to belly suplex off the top rope Crocket began to get the upper hand only to<br />

have Sahara Se7en come out to interfere. This biggest surprise of the night was when Sterling Williams<br />

came out to help his friend Crockett and instead, pulled a double cross by attacking him along<br />

with Curtis Mack. In the end Beau Crockett won by a DQ and retained his title, but did not win the<br />

AIWF Heavy weight championship from Damien Wayne.<br />

Join us Oct. 31 at 7:30 pm to see the aftermath of the betrayals and new alliances.<br />

Costume contest, candy, prizes and great wrestling action, you don’t want to miss this!<br />

The Forgotten American ( The Yeoman, The English Longbow, and ALL THE KING’S MEN )<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

The historical significance of the American Civil War is at best a footnote in the overall view of Western<br />

Civilization. It’s significance can be summed up under two themes: 1) The American Civil War was the last<br />

conflict to end European feudalism. 2) The American Civil War was one of a numerous series of conflicts<br />

to resolve Western Civilization’s continuous struggle and reconciliation of the Master/Slave relationship. The<br />

Master / Slave relationship dilemma is a relationship in which one individual serves another in an authorityexchange-structured<br />

relationship. This conflict/relationship among Western people has fingerprinted Western<br />

Man since antiquity, and it continues be a modern problem of Western Civilization. Both conclusions are<br />

admittedly tentative, considering the voluminous amounts of information on the subject of the Master/Slave<br />

Relationship and English Feudalism in the context of the American Civil War or even Western Civilization. If<br />

we limit our scope of discussion within the historic framework of the British-Anglo-African-American experience,<br />

we will discover the seemingly modern American “ racial conflict” actually has its roots in the midst<br />

of Sherwood Forest and the legend of Robin in the Hood.<br />

America, at best, is a historic outpost of the Western tradition, a place set in motion for European Capitalism<br />

and therefore, most Americans look inward within their historic experience to understand current social<br />

problems. The first modern American was living on the edge of English Feudal society within the King’s<br />

forest, “outside-the-law” or as an “outlaw” with just his longbow and his wits. You and I would immediately<br />

envision a Clint Eastwood style American. A Westerner who was was escaping the memory of the American<br />

Civil War, living by his guns and his wits as the first American living on the edge and outside of the law. If<br />

we were asked to describe an outlaw, I’m sure we would all have a similar collective thought thanks to the<br />

modern and “centrally controlled” media and entertainment industry. It is also worth noting that tax evasion,<br />

treason, smuggling and dropping out are not unique to the American experience but rather ancient pastimes<br />

intrinsically tied to a larger historic tradition.<br />

Feudalism for better or worst was an international movement crossing many national borders within Western<br />

Europe and beyond. The Feudal State among Kings, Lords, Barons and their enforcers, the Knights, all represented<br />

a spirit of an age after the collapse of the Roman Empire. The center of economic gravity within the<br />

Feudal State was the land and land ownership. Many modern thinkers think of internationalism as a coalition<br />

among nation-states which has a brief and limited objective. This type of objective is more or less business<br />

as nation-states or interstate business, be it war, embargo, treaty, etc. True Internationalism represents a spirit<br />

of an age lasting many generations. Feudalism, in fact, is a spirit of an age. Constructed of a two class system<br />

represented by landowners, usually but not always. Royalty who owned the land and the Serfs who worked<br />

the lands and paid tribute for the privilege of toiling their lives away. As in any system, there are always the<br />

outsiders. Those who choose freedom even at the risk of prison or death. In England, there arose such a man.<br />

Choosing not to be a slave for the benefit of the Royals but rather living on the edge of society outside the<br />

payment of tribute. Outside the starvation of medieval farming, making a living in the forest. The appearance<br />

of the Independent Yeoman ( in modern terms the middle-class) was the greatest threat to the economic oppression<br />

of the Feudal System.<br />

Feudalism like many other “isms” requires enforcement by the State. The King declared the forest and all<br />

products contained within it was taxable items. Anyone not paying tribute for the forest products would be<br />

labeled an “outlaw”. Of course, the Sheriff along with his knights was tasked to enforce this tax or “ tribute”.<br />

For the Yeoman, the turnaround technology was the English Long Bow and armor piercing arrows.<br />

This weapon introduced the legend of Robin Hood, which was probably not a real person but rather a composite<br />

<br />

of many outlaws ranging from the 1170s to 1215. Once the Yeoman demonstrated he could knock the<br />

<br />

Knights out of the saddle. The enforcement mechanism couldn’t make a dent in reining in the “so-called”<br />

<br />

outlaws, King John decided maybe a compromise was in order. Maybe a great charter, a grand plan of rights<br />

hard won over many decades, A Magna Carta.”<br />

The Magna Carta turned 800 years old on June the 15th of this year. One of the most important<br />

clauses of the 63 clauses which still speaks to us in the modern era is:<br />

No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed<br />

or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against<br />

him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the<br />

land.<br />

To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.<br />

These individual rights were hard won over many generations through the force of arms and<br />

bravery of the men behind the bow. A positive idea usually must endure many decades of<br />

negativity before it can come to light. Unfortunately, conflict or a force of arms has to occur to<br />

bring forward a positive idea.<br />

Could modern America revert to a Feudal system or master/slave relationship? What if, the<br />

next financial crisis hits the US again as in 2008. The private banking system decides to nationalize<br />

all the debts to include mortgages, personal notes, state, county, and city liabilities.<br />

Private property lines evaporate. Debtor’s private property turns into leased property. Very<br />

much like property is not privately owned but leased in other countries. Isn’t property and possessions<br />

the very thing the Magna Carta and our Constitution tried to address? What would be<br />

the enforcement mechanism in such a state? Micro Chips? Or would the amount of your check<br />

from the government be dependent on your participation in society? Could the new Longbow<br />

be 3D printers? Technology is changing faster than the government can regulate. But could<br />

America turn back to local authority system? The government may not be able to enforce its<br />

will, much like it has abdicated its authority in Colorado over marijuana and the Cliven Bundy<br />

Ranch incident. Technology may be the mechanism that ends the master/slave relationship. But<br />

it may be the mechanism that makes it possible. It is up to “the Spirit of our Age” to decide.<br />

William Butler Yeats 13 June 1865 – 28 January 1939) was an<br />

Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th century<br />

literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary<br />

establishments, in his later years he served as an Irish Senator for<br />

Swift’s Epitaph<br />

Revival and, along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn, and<br />

Swift has sailed into his rest;<br />

others, founded the Abbey Theatre, where he served as its chief<br />

Savage indignation there<br />

during its early years. In 1923, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in<br />

Cannot lacerate his breast.<br />

Literature as the first Irishman so honoured for what the Nobel<br />

Imitate him if you dare,<br />

Committee described as “inspired poetry, which in a highly<br />

World-besotted traveller; he<br />

artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation.”<br />

Served human liberty.<br />

Yeats is generally considered one of the few writers who<br />

completed their greatest works after being awarded the Nobel<br />

Prize; such works include The Tower (1928) and The Wining Stair<br />

and Other Poems (1929). Yeats was a very good friend of<br />

American expatriate poet and Bollingen Prize laureate Ezra<br />

Pound. Yeats wrote the introduction for Rabindranath Tagore’s<br />
