I Saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing 

By Walt Whitman 

I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing, 

All alone stood it and the moss hung 

down from the branches, 

Without any companion it grew there 

uttering joyous of dark green, 

And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, 

made me think of myself, 

But I wonder’d how it could utter joyous 

leaves standing alone there 

without its friend near, for I knew I 

could not, 

And I broke off a twig with a certain 

number of leaves upon it and 

twined around it a little moss, 

And brought it away, and I have placed 

it in sight in my room, 

It is not needed to remind me as of my 

own dear friends, 

(For I believe lately I think of little else 

than of them,) 

Yet it remains to me a curious token, it 

makes me think of manly love; 

For all that, and though the live-oak 

glistens there in Louisiana 

solitary in a wide flat space, 

Uttering joyous leaves all its life without 

a friend a lover near, 

I know very well I could not.

The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis 

The Abolition of Man is a 1943 book by C. S. Lewis. It is 

subtitled “Reflections on education with special reference to 

the teaching of English in the upper forms of schools,” and 

uses that as a starting point for a defense of objective value 

and natural law, and a warning of the consequences of doing 

away with or “debunking” those things. It defends science as 

something worth pursuing but criticizes using it to debunk 

values — the value of science itself being among them — or 

defining it to exclude such values. The book was first delivered 

as a series of three evening lectures at King’s College, 

Newcastle, part of the University of Durham, as the Riddell 

Memorial Lectures on February 24–26, 1943 

Clive Staples Lewis, commonly 

known as C. S. Lewis (29 

November 1898 – 22 November 

1963), was a novelist, poet, 

academic, medievalist, literary critic, 

essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, 

lecturer, and Christian apologist. 

Born in Belfast, Ireland, he held 

academic positions at both Oxford 

University (Magdalen College), 

1925–54, and Cambridge University (Magdalene College), 

1954–63. He is best known for his fictional work, especially 

The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The 

Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, 

such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of 

Pain. Media coverage of his death was minimal, as he died 

on the same day that US President John F. Kennedy was 

assassinated. It was also the same day that the author Aldous 

Huxley died. In 2013, on the 50th anniversary of his death, 

Lewis was honoured with a memorial in Poets’ Corner in 

Westminster Abbey. Source - Wikipedia

Health and Nutrition Strategies For Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else 

Annual Review 

Most of my readers are familiar with my background. For those who are new to the column, and those who’ve forgotten, here’s a quick refresher. I’m a retired 

Meat Inspector from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets,and retired Supervisory Food Technologist for the USDA Food Safety Inspection 

Service (FSIS) in Washington,D.C. In the latter position I served on numerous task forces including: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the 

Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS). I was trained in Water-borne, Vector-borne, and Food-borne disease by the Centers of Disease Control (CDC). I glean 

information from scientific data, clinical trials and studies. In essence, how to protect yourself from our toxic environment. 

In 2005 I was diagnosed with a very aggressive prostate cancer (9 Gleason Score), had a prostatectomy, and returned to my everyday routine. In 2008 the cancer 

recurred. .After a period of depression,fear and anger,I decided to change my environment, change my life style and got busy controlling the disease, since a cure 

apparently wasn’t in the cards. . 

At the time, I was living in the industrial Midwest where frequent ozone alerts, and a fungal disease (Histoplasmosis Capsulatum), are environmental norms. I 

relocated to Northeast North Carolina (NNC) to improved air quality, and to provide myself with better medical options than were available in Indiana. Northeast 

North Carolina is within a 280 mile radius of 4 of the top comprehensive research cancer centers in the country (Duke,Wake Forest, UNC, and Johns 

Hopkins). I selected John Hopkins because their literature suggested that 80-90% of prostate cancers were dietary linked. That dietary link suggestion, fit comfortably 

into my professional training, and NNC fulfilled my need to change my environment and life style. With air quality taken care of, It was time to take 

on the primary environmental component “food”. 

In this region, it’s possible to purchase organic quality produce at very a competitive price, that’s picked within 24 hours. Muscadine grapes, berries, sweet potatoes, 

cruciferous produce,and tomatoes, all notable cancer fighters, are in abundance. An added bonus is that the region has a large, plentiful variety of fresh fish. 

The lucrative cancer industry is focused on treatment. Research is a small but important component of the industry. Research includes studies, and clinical trials. 

That’s where we’ll be looking for our “Cause”, in our “Cause and Effect” strategy. My unique training in U.S. food safety and my cancer survival, offers us 

a unique opportunity to examine the nuances and complications of our free market food chain, and how cancer survivors and can protect themselves and there 

families . 

Note: In 2013 the American Cancer Society’s “Man to Man” program was discontinued. Our local support group will close July 23rd. My information and assistance 

will always be available through this column. As always I welcome your suggestion and comments. 

Remember, let food be your medicine.

Orthodox Christianity 

FOOD COMA AND FASTING IN THE ORTHODOX TRADITION 

“Aaah, food coma…” My cousin, Alfred, after a heavy meal 

Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that you eatest 

thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2: 17 

And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam…And Adam gave names to all 

cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast. Genesis 2: 19, 20 

And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? Genesis 3: 11 

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth…Every 

moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb…And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require 

it, and at the hand of man…And behold I establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you; and with every living creature . Genesis 9: 2-10 

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup 

and gave thanks and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the 

remission of sins. Matthew: 26, 27 

Food. Food, and life, and death. The life of the body; the life of the soul, or its death. Clearly, there exists for man and for the creation a deep connection, a 

mystery deep and hard to plumb, around food and life and death. Thus it is that Orthodox Christianity has never deviated from the ancient ascetical tradition 

of fasting. As when a great unseen beast, without breaking the surface, heaves the face of the waters; so, during the fasts, Orthodox Christians sense, without 

fully seeing, the movements of this great mystery. We sense without fully seeing; yet with each passing fast we see something more. The great mystery unveils 

itself incrementally, little by little, to the one who watches in patience and in quiet, and in love and in humility. What is it that we begin to see the outlines 

of? Of Life and of Light. And of the inner darkness that bars our entry into the Living Light, that prevents our immersion in, and our transfiguration into 

the Light. What is this darkness? The Fathers teach that this darkness is the passions that grip us, their talons sunk into our souls. The darkness is our dark 

proclivities toward anger, acquisitiveness, the lust of the flesh, the pride of life, and all the rest. It is our light-mindedness, our preferences for the things of this 

world. And they teach that the beginning of the work is the fast. It is the fast that begins to drive a wedge between our deep heart and our passions—that 

begins to open that potential space and, little by little, make it into a true separation. 

When I deny my stomach, I begin, gradually, at a 

visceral and a noetic level, to develop a 

recognition that my passion and I are 

not synonymous. 

And in the light of this awareness, in the space 

created by the wedge of the fast, we begin to have 

the opportunity to choose for the Light.

Question of the Month 

Should the police forces be nationalized? 

A. MAY I CARRY A CONCEALED WEAPON IN NORTH CAROLINA? 

ANSWER: No. As a general rule, North Carolina law forbids private citizens from carrying a concealed weapon, 

either on or about their person, while off their premises, unless the weapon is a handgun and the citizen has a 

concealed handgun permit. This prohibition pertains not only to firearms, but also to any other deadly weapon. 

You are referred to Section III. A., B. and C. of this publication for a more detailed analysis of this complex area, to 

include transporting a firearm in a vehicle. 

B. MAY I GET A PERMIT TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN IN NORTH CAROLINA? 

ANSWER: Yes. Certain qualified North Carolina residents can get a permit to carry concealed handguns under 

specific circumstances. North Carolina allows out-of-state concealed handgun permittees to carry concealed 

handguns pursuant to such permits in North Carolina. Please be aware that while carrying a handgun pursuant to 

such permit, qualified out-of-state permittees are held to the same standards as North Carolina permittees. Consequently, 

there are a number of areas where concealed handguns cannot be carried in North Carolina, regardless of 

the individual having a permit to carry a concealed weapon. A more detailed discussion of what areas prohibit the 

possession of a firearm is contained in Section III. C. of this publication. 

C. HOW DO I GET A HANDGUN PURCHASE PERMIT? 

ANSWER: Pistol purchase permits may be obtained from the sheriff where the purchaser or receiver resides. An 

application must be submitted to the sheriff by the individual who desires to obtain a pistol permit, and must 

satisfy the requirements of North Carolina law. These requirements are set out in Section II. of the North Carolina 

Concealed Carry Firearms Laws . (Available Online http://www.ncdoj.gov/) 

Email your thoughts to 

br549@modernmedianow.com and 

we will publish the most interesting 

ones in our next issue! 

Last Month’s Question: 

Should marijuana be legalized in NC? 

Why not? Just like prohibition in the early 

1900’s, the war on drugs has created it’s own 

Al Capone’s. Our jails are full of people with 

minor drug infractions. It does not make 

sense to continue with a policy that has obviously 

failed and empowered gangs 

and thugs. Not to mention the Billions of 

taxpayer dollars spent.

What is the Difference Between Mold and Mildew? Why Does it Matter? 

What Do You Do When it is There? Can I Prevent It? 

By Harry Cannon, Mold Protection Services 

In earlier articles we discussed some symptoms of mold exposure, and what can be done to reduce it’s opportunity to grow. Now I want to talk about what can 

be done when it is evident that mold is growing. Many people ask me the question “what is the difference between mold and mildew, and does it matter”? 

Just like our children can share similar features, mold and mildew can do the same thing. We have discussed that mold can come in a variety of colors including 

white, orange, red, green and black. Both mold and mildew thrive on moist, warm areas, both indoors and outdoors. They can also each grow on virtually any 

surface. Regardless, no homeowner likes to see either in his or her home. The differences in the size, color and texture of the spores can provide you with a good 

indication of whether they mold be mold or mildew. White, powdery growth typically is a sign of very early spore growth and most likely to be mildew. Mildew 

can usually be wiped off of the contaminated surface if caught quickly, and is less likely to result any health related issues. Orange and red growth is more likely 

to be found outdoors on wood, mushrooms and other moist organic surfaces. Mold, on the other hand, can be black or green and is often the result of a much 

larger infestation. This type of fungus can appear almost “fuzzy”, especially when it is found on food, or even slimy in nature. While “toxic” (usually black) mold 

is not common in homes that are regularly maintained, this form of mold can be dangerous to a person’s health. Allergies, asthma, irritated eyes, skin rashes, 

headaches and even lung issues are the result of toxic mold that is breeding within a home. The key to treating mold and mildew is to wipe it out of your home 

immediately. Treating it accordingly will safeguard your home from permanent damage and keep you from experiencing a continual cycle of growth. When mold 

growth gets to this stage, it is best to call someone knowledgeable in the proper identification, removal and treatment of these spores. 

Mold Protection and Management Services is locally owned and been serving NE NC for over ten years. We have successfully dealt with residential and 

commercial issues stemming from minor interior growth ranging from attics, closets and crawl spaces to more serious growth caused by pipe breaks, roof leaks, 

flooding, and other issues. We have developed relationships with area certified mold inspectors and demolition contractors when necessary to partner together 

to effectively mitigate the problem.Prevention, particularly this time of year, can be a key part of controlling mold growth. You do not have to wait for growth to 

get bad before addressing the issue. 

You can be proactive rather than reactive. Decks, particularly composite decks, are common source of frustration for repeated growth. MPMS offers prevention 

services to help minimize deck maintenance and keep things looking great for those wonderful summer outdoor experiences. 

The best part for our local residents is that they do not have to call in firms from Virginia or Raleigh to address their growth issues. However, whether it is 

MPMS or another firm, the most important thing is to get rid of this growth before it causes damage to your structure, your family, or both. We can be reached 

at harrycannon3@gmail.com, and will be happy to answer your questions.

Dear Dr. Crime: I watch the news and get scared of the hate, anger, and violence in our world. Is our 

world as dangerous as the news reports suggest? Fearful Fellow 

Dear Fearful: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish I had a clear and simply answer, but statistics do not allow it. If you are one of the victims 

in an inner city it is a different world than those living in gated communities. Let us look at it two 

ways. The US Bureau of Justice Statistics[i] tells us that the most recent national victimization survey 

(2013) found that kids over age 12 had an estimated 6.1 million violent victimizations and 16.8 million 

property victimizations. But that was a small decline after a couple years of increase. Since 1993, 

the rate of violent crime has declined from 79.8 to 23.2 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or 

older. Also, a United Nations study[ii] reports that more people die from homicide than in wars. 

Their data was from 88% of the world population. 

Also the nature of the criminal acts will make your blood boil. Darkness to Light reports that : 

400,000 children are sexually abused each year. That means that 1 in 10 children faces the horror of 

sexual abuse before their 18 birthday. 

90% of victims are abused by someone they know and trust. 

60% are acquaintances like teachers, neighbors, or community leaders. 

30 % are immediate or extended family. 

Only 10% are strangers to the child. 

Many sexually abused children suffer trauma severe enough to negatively impact their adult lives. 

They are 3x more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol. 

They are 2x more likely to drop out of school. 

Even necrophilia[iii] and bestiality remain crime issues. This is not a uniformly wonderful world. 

Dear Dr. Crime: How do I find national statistics about drug abuse? Teacher 

Dear Teacher. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) compiles the total number of 

drug-related deaths through their National Vital Statistics System. In addition, the Substance Abuse 

and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) produces a drug-related mortality report using 

data from their Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN).

Labor, Wages, and Prices by Matt Morrison 

As promised last month, in this entry we will find Adam Smith’s opinions on government attempts to restrict resources, which relates naturally to our discussion 

on labor and immigration. Labor is in a sense just another resource in production, and whenever high tariffs block resources, this encourages smuggling and its 

negative consequences. The same goes for immigration, as anyone from our border states can attest. From Smith: 

“An injudicious tax offers a great temptation to smuggling. But the penalties of smuggling must rise in proportion to the temptation. The law, contrary to all the 

ordinary principles of justice, first creates the temptation, and then punishes those who yield to it; and it commonly enhances the punishment, too, in proportion 

to the very circumstance which ought certainly to alleviate it, the temptation to commit the crime. …By subjecting the people to the frequent visits and the odious 

examination of the tax-gatherers, it may expose them to much unnecessary trouble, vexation, and oppression.” (The Wealth of Nations, Book V, Chapter 2) 

This futility in attempting to block goods or labor may be related directly to vain attempts to fix wages: “The price of labour…cannot be ascertained very accurately 

anywhere... Where wages are not regulated by law, all that we can pretend to determine is what are the most usual; and experience seems to show that law 

can never regulate them properly, though it has often pretended to do so.” (The Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter 8) 

It’s amusing that those who may otherwise favor the free movement of goods would favor the restriction of other resources such as labor. Smith was, in a sense, 

not an absolutely free market philosopher. He did favor light tariffs on foreign goods for revenue purposes (to match domestic production taxes); similarly, anyone 

of a fiscally sound mind can ascertain the benefit of taxing immigration moderately, rather than wasting money on trying to reverse it. Stopping immigration 

does not increase real wages, but taxing immigration can prevent inflation by decreasing our government’s need to borrow, therefore keeping wages strong. More 

importantly, instead of cutting immigration and increasing the face value of wages, we should focus on making American goods more price competitive, which 

would encourage more investment in this country and keep the cost of living low, giving everyone more purchasing power and, effectively, higher wages. Many 

people today want to “buy American,” yet so many are opposed to policies that would make this second nature.

Frisco Native American Museum 

NATIVE AMERICANS “SNIFFED” SNUFF 

Visitors to the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center sometimes express surprise 

at the snuff box exhibit. Although they generally recognize a connection between natives and tobacco, 

visitors don’t always realize that the connection extends to snuff as well. Tobacco was important in native 

cultures. Easily grown in temperate climates, tobacco was traditionally considered a gift from the Creator. 

Used for hundreds of years in sacred ceremonies, natives believe that the smoke from tobacco can carry an 

individual’s thoughts and prayers to the Creator. 

Eastern North American tribes carried large amounts of tobacco in pouches as a readily accepted 

trade item, and often smoked it in peace pipes or “snuffed” it as part of a special ceremony. Early explorers 

discovered tobacco in the Americas, and by the 17th century it was popular in Europe, rolled or 

crushed to be used as snuff. Containers for the powder soon developed as an art form. 

American settlers brought many beautiful designs with them, and snuff boxes were crafted in a variety 

of materials and styles. Native artists made the snuff boxes both for personal use and as trade items. 

The museum’s Tobacco and Snuff Box exhibit features more than seventy boxes. Materials range 

from silver and inlay to carved wood, bone, mache, and leather. Some of the work is quite intricate, and a 

number of the boxes date back to the 17th century; 

others are much more contemporary. All of the boxes 

are little works of art and visitors are frequently amazed 

at the creative use of natural materials and the beauty

Out of the rolling ocean the crowd 

came a drop gently to me, Whispering 

I love you, before long I 

die, I have travel’d a long way 

merely to look on you to touch 

you, For I could not die till I once 

look’d on you, For I fear’d I might 

afterward lose you. Now we have 

met, we have look’d, we are safe, 

Return in peace to the ocean my 

love, I too am part of that ocean 

my love, we are not so much separated, 

Behold the great rondure, 

the cohesion of all, how perfect! 

But as for me, for you, the 

irresistible sea is to separate us, 

As for an hour carrying us diverse, 

yet cannot carry us diverse 

forever; Be not impatient--a little 

space--know you I salute the air, 

the ocean and the land, Every 

day at sundown for your dear 

sake my love.

Kitty Hawk Surfing - The early days by Jesse Evans 

Atlantic ‘Cane Curls’: a surfer’s term for storm swells. The outer banks protrusion out into the ocean enables 

it to receive swells more consistently due to this geographical fix. After the 1967 ECSC at Virginia Beach, surfer 

magazine photographer Ron Stoner headed south to Kitty Hawk. As Stoner put it, “It was sunny, hot and clear. 

The water was beautiful blue, the waves were sparkling. For 5 weeks I’d been cruising the Eastern Seaboard, and I 

finally got to see top waves. Everything was perfect. It was one of the prettiest mornings I’ve ever seen anywhere in 

the world. The Atlantic Ocean came through with a good surf with the help of hurricane Faith. It was some fantastic 

surf at Kitty Hawk!” 

Actually, the waves Stoner spoke of were in front of Anderson’s market, just south of the pier. In the early 60’s 

before commercialism and the by-pass, the Outer Banks was a very special place. No crowds and little traffic, only 

the beach road, old route 12. Kitty Hawk was underdeveloped and UN-incorporated, a sweet little beach town 

with clean water, good waves and pristine beaches. Back then I don’t ever recall the beaches being closed due to 

water pollution, with very few cottages and septic systems. 

There were a few small ‘Mom and Pop’ businesses: Bill Anderson’s market, Wink’s groceries, and the Nags Head 

Trading Post, with many vacant lots in between. The by-pass and all the commercial buildings along it did not 

exist, just sand hills and sea oats. It was pretty unspoiled. I have been surfing the Outer Banks since 1960, and my 

favorite area has always been Kitty Hawk, as I fell in love with it’s quaint charm. Of all the towns, Kitty Hawk was 

the last to go commercial, and that aspect alone made it special to me. In the sixties, Kitty Hawk had two good 

breaks: the Kitty Hawk Pier/Anderson’s market, and the old station. There were other spots that would break, but 

these two were the best and most consistent. Gene and Sybils (Now Johns) was the best beach road grill, with their 

good food and their great Apple Jacks. The surf broke nicely there as well, as just in front of Shepards cottage was a 

good sand bar. 

The Currituck Chamber of Commerce 

recently hosted a ribbon cutting 

ceremony for new Currituck business 

Outer Vapes Custom Vapors and Lounge 

located at 6322 Caratoke Highway, 

Grandy, NC. This is the second location 

for the owners Ronnie and Christine 

Beasley. They are enjoying doing business 

in Currituck County. Among the guests 

were Josh Bass, Currituck Chamber 

President, Jason LeTourneau, FOCUS 

252 owner, Becky & CA Howard, CA 

Howard & Associates Realty, owners the 

Beasleys, staff and customers. 

I could go on and tell you a lot of ‘Tales’ about early surfing on the Outer Banks, especially Kitty Hawk, but as 

Mojo sang in his album, ‘I’ll leave those tales untold’. Enjoy and appreciate it now folks, more change is coming. 

In closing, as I have always advocated, “Enjoy the beauties of our land, and it will be kind to the paths you travel.”

Charter Boat Tips 

by Jake Worthington 

So you have booked yourself an offshore charter, and you are looking forward to spending a day on the Gulfstream 

and catching some big ones. Maybe you haven’t booked a trip yet because a long day on the water has some 

unknowns that make you uneasy, and you don’t know what to expect. Hopefully this story will help you feel more 

at ease about an offshore trip and be a guide for your trip preparation, as well. 

The first thing you need to do when you book your trip is find out what the cancellation policy is should you 

need to cancel your trip for any reason. Some charter Captains or their booking desk will require a deposit or a credit 

card number to hold your spot. Some require 24 to 48 hours to cancel. Also when you book make sure your Captain 

has several good numbers to contact you. Because fishing is weather related, your trip maybe cancelled by the Captain 

because of weather conditions. The Captain will need to be able to call you to let you know or to give you any last 

minute instructions. While you are talking to your Captain about your trip, let him know what you want to fish for and when the best time is to target what you 

want to catch. This will help the Captain prepare for your trip and have the right rods and reels ready that morning. Some people want to go Billfishing and want 

to do it all day. Other people want to catch Mahi and Tuna and could care less about hooking something they cannot eat. 

Now it is the day before your charter. Go to the store and buy food and drinks. Remember to stock up and make sure you pack some extra food for the Captain 

and Mate, too. Some items you should have in your shopping cart are saltine crackers, ginger cookies, salty nuts,pretzels, Nabs, ginger ale and, of course, fried 

chicken. Sandwiches also make good choices for boat fishing. Go light on the soft drinks and gear more towards water and Gatorade. Load your cooler with 

beverages in ice the night before to cool them down. If you are fishing during the summer, it can be very hot on the water. If you get dehydrated, you will more 

than likely also get seasick. 

Seasickness can occur on an offshore trip. Stock up on Bonine and Dramamine, but remember you need to take them before you get on the boat and even 

the night before. Also remember that they come with side effects such as drowsiness. If it all possible, obtain a prescription for the motion sickness discs that you 

apply behind your ears. If you begin to get queasy, have some Wrigleys Spearmint or Doublemint chewing gum to start chewing to help calm your stomach. Stay 

out of the diesel fumes of the boat while underway and don’t go below deck if you are feeling queasy. I know it sounds strange, but if you are sick go ahead and 

bite the bullet and let nature run its course. Most of the time, you will feel better. If you are feeling bad two things can be your friend. They are air flowing by 

you and looking into the horizon. Whatever happens. stay hydrated because failing to do so may cause more sickness or extreme fatigue. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also pack a bag with eyeglass cleaner and microfiber towels to clean your eyeglasses and 

sunglasses. In this bag, it is also a good idea to have any prescription medicine or medical 

supplies such as insulin or epipens. Do not forget the sunscreen and apply it several times 

throughout the day. You may also want to bring your camera to take pictures. If you plan to use 

your cell phone, make sure you power it off until you need it because it will be searching for a 

tower and this will run down the battery. 

One of the most important things you will need when the trip is over is cash. Mates work 

for tips and they started working for you the night before rigging baits, prepping the boat and 

hooking fish for you. The standard tipping rate is 15 to 20 % of the cost of the trip. Whatever 

you do, don’t forget to tip your mate! You may also need cash to pay the fish cleaners if you 

wish to let them clean and package your fish. This takes us to the last thing you need to bring, 

and that is plenty of coolers to put your fish in, along with a good coat of ice. If you enjoyed 

your trip, go ahead and book your next trip with the captain before you leave. Most of all, 

enjoy your day on the water because your Captain and Mate will do their best to make sure you 

have one. Jake Worthington of Jake’s Outdoor Adventures

Why Seniors Need To Drive 

by C.L. Cooke 

I once followed an elderly lady to a local bank. She had just driven across Ehringhaus Street from Golden Corral to the PNC parking lot. She did not 

realize that she almost caused three separate accidents during that short trip. Two vehicles hit the brakes to avoid collision, and one swerved onto the curb as she 

was about to broadside the moving vehicle. I told her what had just occurred. I told her I was aware that she did not know the sequence of potential 

accidents that could have caused numerous injuries or deaths. When I looked her in the eyes and said I was considering taking her tag number to the local 

police, she looked so surprised. Then I stated that her drivers permit might be revoked and she replied, “That would be terrible.” After pondering, I decided it 

would be terrible for her to lose her license because of me. Maybe it would be best if a close family member initiated that decision: one closer to her, one who 

knows she should no longer drive…one who would run errands for her, and take her to lunch, or pay bills, or shop for presents for her beloved children and 

grandchildren. After all it should be our responsibility to care for our seniors and make their last years as memorable and comfortable as possible. 

So, I ask you this. Seniors whom you know are an accident waiting to happen, could you please do the right thing and avoid the critical accident waiting to 

happen. Get the family involved. For the rest of us who might not be that far gone, but our sight is not what it was, our reflexes have slowed, but we need to be

Strawberry Meals Forever 

By Rosie Hawthorne

Parts - Sales - Service 

Since 1927 

Every May, I anxiously wait to get my postcard from 

the Malco’s farm in Point Harbor telling me their 

strawberry fields are open for business. The Hawthornes 

usually come back with twenty-plus pounds 

and I’ll make pies, galettes, jam, strawberry ice cream, 

smoothies, and the list goes on. Whatever I don’t 

immediately use, I freeze in quart-size freezer bags so 

I can enjoy them later. 

Strawberry Pie 

1 pie crust, baked and cooled 

If you don’t make your own crust, I recommend the refrigerated crusts 

that come rolled up in a box, not the frozen crusts. 

1 quart strawberries, plus about 2 dozen extras 

1 cup sugar 

2 TB cornstarch 

¼ cup water 

1 TB butter 

4 oz. package cream cheese, softened 

Rinse and trim strawberries. 

Reserve about 2 dozen of the nicer shaped strawberries or enough to cover the base of the pie. 

Place the quart of the strawberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat, mashing the berries, and bring to a boil. 

Reduce to simmer, add in the sugar and stir until dissolved. 

Make a slurry by dissolving the cornstarch in the water and add to strawberries. 

Bubble slowly over medium low heat for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently. 

Remove from heat and stir in butter. 

Stir 4 TB of the strawberry mixture into the cream cheese until smooth and spread evenly over the base of your cooled pie 

crust. Place the reserved strawberries, point side up in the cream cheese mixture, then pour the rest of the strawberry 

mixture into the pie crust. If you’re lucky enough to have some of the strawberry filling leftover, save that for toast, pancakes, 

French toast, or ice cream. Refrigerate until set, preferably overnight.

A BILL to Provide for the Apprehension of Runaway Slaves 

In the Great Dismal Swamp, and for other purposes. 

by Wanda E. Hunt McLean 

Raleigh: W. R. Gales, Printer to the Legislature. 1846. 

Louis Round Wilson Library-UNC Chapel Hill 

Call #Cp326.7N87g2 

In the 1840s slave owners who lived in counties bordering the Great Dismal Swamp (GDS) became aware that slaves were escaping through the swamp with 

the assistance of other slaves, slaves passing as free, free people of color, and white people. Many of these people who assisted were working in the swamp. The 

owners and supervisors of these companies often hired runaway slaves. If the hired slaves left, the company simply hired more black people which resulted in 

cheap labor. Consequentially the slave owners in Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Gates, Perquimans and Chowan counties submitted a petition to the General 

Assembly that would hopefully stop or slow down Underground Railroad activities in the GDS. The petition was introduced to the Assembly in 1846. W. R. 

Gale was the printer for the legislature. The petition became a Bill in 1847. 

Slaves who were in the GDS with no intentions of returning to their owners were in the swamp long enough to either wait for a passage north to the Norfolk 

or Portsmouth shipping docks or south to the shipping docks in Elizabeth City to continue their journey to freedom. If an owner of a slave, or one loaned out, 

wanted to permit a slave to work in the GDS he or she had to deliver the slave before the Clerk of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of the county in which 

the slave was to be employed, and the clerk completed paper work on a physical description of the slave. This information was kept on file in the court house. The 

slave owner or superintendent also received a copy, and this was given to the slave to keep on him/her at all times during employment in the GDS. Those who 

did the hiring in the swamp were responsible for reviewing this document prior to a black person being hired to work. Any person in violation of this process was 

punished; some people were jailed, many slaves were wiped, and many people paid a hefty fine. The county clerks in the six counties were also required to attach 

a copy of the Act on the front door of the courthouses. All possible scenarios for assisting slaves to escape while employed in the GDS were covered in this Bill. 

This Bill also addresses a fact that many people today are not aware of especially in the South; white southerners other than Quakers and abolitionists assisted 

slaves in their flight to freedom. The Bill clearly acknowledges this activity by white people as stated in the following: 

Be it further enacted, That if any white person shall, in the said Swamp, consort, or work with, or employ, or engage, to work in said 

Swamp, any runaway slave, or any slave who shall not have such certified copy as aforesaid, he or she shall forfeit the sum of one hundred 

dollars, to be recovered in an action of debt by any person who will sue for the same, and shall be moreover indictable as for a 

misdemeanor, and, on conviction, shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than three months, and a fine at the discretion of the Court. 

Slave escapes were often spontaneous. But the term Underground Railroad was used by both white and black people to describe a 

highly secretive and organized network of escape activities. Whenever a law was passed such as the one above, or the Fugitive Slave 

Act of 1850, all involved reorganized which often led to slaves escaping in larger numbers. The large number of waterways in NC 

leading to the various sounds and the ocean often made the UGRR “unseen in plain sight.” 

Fugitive Slaves in the 

Dismal Swamp, Virginia, by 

David Edward Cronin, 1888

The Museum of the Albemarle will open its newest exhibit, I Do! Weddings in 

the Albemarle, 1831–2015 on June 27, 2015. The stunning exhibition focuses 

on the bride and her dress, but includes tailcoats, top hats, trousseaus, shoes, 

purses, photographs and other wedding related items. Brides and grooms of 

yesterday and today continue to hold to traditions and symbolism, yet always 

bring in their own style. Objects on display will include the wedding suit worn 

by Carl E. Causey at his wedding to Georgia Wilder on September 25, 1912. Wilder was the daughter of William 

R. Wilder and Frances E. Donner, a survivor of the Donner party. Frances’s mother, Tamsen Eustis, came 

to Elizabeth City in 1825 to teach at Elizabeth City Academy. She married Tully Dozier, of Camden County, 

and later George Donner, of 

Rowan County, NC. In 1846 the Donner family traveled with others to California, where a number of 

individuals suffered loss of life during the trip. 

Cornices from the 1914 the Robinson house will also be featured. William B. Blades presented this house 

to his daughter Ivy as a wedding gift when she married Charles O. Robinson. The monumental scale of 

the Neoclassical Revival structure is its most defining feature. The full-height porch is supported by 

classical columns dominates the façade of this house. The style was inspired by the 1893 Chicago 

World’s Columbian Exposition. Most of the best architects of the time designed dramatic colonnaded 

buildings arranged around a central court. Soon, these overly grand buildings became the latest fashion. 

Look for information on other highlighted artifacts that will be on display in next month’s article 

focusing on the Museum of the Albemarle.

Northeast North Carolina Family History 

By: Irene Hampton 

Family. 

We all have one and whatever their make-up, they have profound influence on who we are. As we have become increasing mobile, the relationships and 

stories about our families have often been left behind and lost to current generations. In a world of social media that lives mostly in the current moment, why 

would family history be important? 

A New York Times article, “The Stories That Bind Us,” written by Bruce Feiler and published May 17, 2013 gives us a compelling reason. He writes of two 

psychologists, Dr. Marshall Duke and Dr. Robyn Fivush, who conducted a summer long test of four dozen families in 2001. They called their test the “Do You 

Know” scale. The psychologists asked children to answer 20 questions related to what they knew about their families. The questions ranged from stories about 

their own birth, where their parents met or what they knew about a serious illness or tragedy in their family history. 

“They then compared the children’s results to a battery of psychological tests the children had taken, and reached an overwhelming conclusion. The more children 

knew about their family’s history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-esteem and the more successfully they believed their 

families functioned. The ‘Do You Know’ scale turned out to be the best single predictor of children’s emotional health and happiness. ‘We were blown away’, 

Dr. Duke said.” 

What an amazing statement about the importance of learning about our family history and as Dr. Duke and Dr. Fivush stress, taking time in family situations 

to pass it on. We can begin by telling the stories we know, that of our own lives but how do we go back and find out about our past history? If we don’t have 

knowledge of our family’s background, we need to start digging for out roots and the stories that go with them. I know more than one person whose eyes glaze 

over at the mention of genealogy (the research of the dates and places our families come from) but family history is SO much more than birth and death dates. 

As Bradley D. Foster has stated, it’s about the dash, the information BETWEEN the birth and death dates on a tombstone, the story between those dates where 

we find out who our ancestors really were. I hope to share ideas on how to do that in future articles. 

Irene Hampton earned a Certificate in Genealogy from Brigham Young University and worked as the Genealogical/Local history Researcher for the Pasquotank- 

Camden Library for over 12 years. She has also abstracted and published “Widow’s Years Provisions, 1881-1899, PasquotankCounty, North Carolina”; “1840 

Currituck, North Carolina Federal Census” and “Record of Marriages, Book A (1851-1867) Currituck County, North Carolina”.

I sincerely hope you will attend! As Americans it is our 

obligation to HONOR those that have made the ultimate 

sacrifice. I also must mention those that have left part of 

themselves, be it mind or limb, on those battlefields. Furthermore, 

think of their families; their heartaches are forever. 

How do they celebrate Memorial Day? Certainly, we 

can spare a moment of gratitude, and honor their loss. This 

is what we, as Patriots do! How others can shop or else, on 

this day of Honor and Remembrance, is far beyond me. 

I know many of you share in these views, I ask of you 

to pass this message onto others. For those of you laying a 

wreath, contact me to confirm. Also, for some, inform your 

auxiliaries. 

The ceremony will present an Armed Forces Color Guard. 

Also, the standard Honors will be conducted by the Marines, 

along with a Battle Cross Salute. The salute will honor 

one each service member lost during the Vietnam War. This 

is to commemorate its 50th Anniversary. In addition, the 

US Coast Guard, Elizabeth City, will be participating. Veterans 

and Citizens attend and demonstrate your patriotism!
