Luther “Wimpy” Lassiter Pool Table on Display<br />

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

The Museum of the Albemarle is proud to introduce an exhibit featuring local legends who<br />

were inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. As the Hall celebrates its 50th anniversary,<br />

the Museum of the Albemarle has highlighted twelve inductees with ties to northeastern<br />

North Carolina including Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Luther “Wimpy” Lassiter, Bobby<br />

Vaughan, and Maxine Allen. Jerry Tolley, Leon Brogden, Jim Garrison, Jethro Pugh, Francis<br />

Rogallo, Mike McGee, and Dennis Byrd are also featured along with 2013 inductee Marion<br />

Kirby, former head coach of John A. Holmes High School in Chowan County.<br />

Also on display is a pool table that belonged to Luther “Wimpy” Lassiter. Lassiter was the<br />

winner of the World Pocket Billiard Championship in years 1955, 1957, 1963, 1964, 1966,<br />

and 1967. He won the Legendary Billiard Stars Tournament in 1983 at age 65. Born 1918 in<br />

Elizabeth City, Luther reportedly received his nickname “Wimpy” from his fondness of<br />

consuming as many hot dogs as Popeye’s friend Wimpy consumed hamburgers. Luther was<br />

also considered as one of the greatest nine-ball players of all time. Contributions of graphics<br />

and research to the exhibit from Roger Williams, Chowan University, Jerry McGee, Rogallo<br />

Foundation, North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, North Carolina State University Athletics,<br />

Joyner Library, East Carolina University, and the North Carolina Museum<br />

of History were very valuable in making this exhibit possible. The exhibit will run through<br />

November <strong>2014</strong>.<br />

rockets but a test of wills and ideas - a trial of spiritual resolve; the values we hold, the beliefs<br />

we cherish and the ideas to which we are dedicated.” - Ronald Reagan<br />

<br />

Since my last article, a couple of major events in my life occurred. I celebrated<br />

my seventy-fifth birthday, and I terminated the Muscadine capsule prostate cancer study,<br />

as a result of rising PSA’s<br />

Rehashing my story. Prior to my prostate cancer diagnosis in 2005, and the recurrence in 2008, I<br />

accepted the usual medical platitudes of: I think we got it all, and you can go back to doing what<br />

you were doing. I hadn’t even bothered to think about what could have caused the disease.<br />

My professional background and survival instincts drove me to accept the dietary link, to program<br />

my lifestyle accordingly, and find my answer. I say my answer, because my answer might<br />

not be everyone’s answer. However, every cancer survivor’s mission should be to determine the<br />

“Cause”.<br />

The strategy is to protect the immune system at all cost, which probably means changing the<br />

status quo. Poor quality air, nutrient poor processed food, red meat and poultry with unlabeled<br />

antibiotics and other medications, are all detrimental to your immune system. I needed to live in a<br />

relatively clean environment, where organic quality food was readily available at prices below the<br />

national standard. Coastal North Carolina satisfied all those needs. The air is refreshed by ocean<br />

influences and is some of the cleanest in the country. There are numerous farmers they are growing<br />

organic quality produce, so cancer fighting organic produce is plentiful. They include, but are<br />

not limited to: heavily researched and known cancer fighters and deterrents, such as Muscadine<br />

grapes, berries, cabbage, and broccoli. This region also enjoys some of the nations freshest fish (<br />

a preferred animal protein source).<br />

The idea is to work the immune system as minimally as possible so that the body can began the<br />

healing process. No current cancer treatment heals. All any treatment can do is stop the growth.<br />

A strong immune system enhances all treatments. Your nutritional intake is crucial and the most<br />

important component of your battle. See my article on essential nutrients.<br />

<strong>Final</strong>ly, how is it possible that our political representatives in general agree with employer based<br />

healthcare? What kind of logic is it, that American manufacturing has to compete in an international<br />

market where all of our trading partners or international competitors, have government financed<br />

healthcare who’s cost doesn’t have to be factored into the contract or job. Take healthcare<br />

cost off the table and American manufacturing can outperform any on the planet.<br />

Our healthcare model is unmanageable, not cost effective, and clearly impacts our nations ability<br />

to grow the economy. .<br />

Orthodox Christianity<br />

BEASTS IN THE NIGHT<br />

For it is dangerous to isolate oneself completely, relying on one’s own judgment...and it<br />

is equally dangerous to live with those who are inexperienced in spiritual warfare...Thus<br />

a man should try to live with those who possess spiritual knowledge, or at least to consult<br />

them continually, so that even if he is still spiritually immature and childish and does not<br />

himself possess a lamp of true knowledge, he can travel in company with someone who<br />

does. Then he will not fall prey to the demons who prowl like beasts in the dark, seizing<br />

and destroying those who grope I had gone to the stadium to run on a hot, sunbaked, summer<br />

afternoon. The temperature was in the nineties. The heat shimmered off the track.<br />

Generally, people don’t run on such afternoons, in the heat of the day. It’s uncomfortable;<br />

and it can be dangerous. I didn’t see anybody in the stadium, and I presumed I had the<br />

place to myself, as I usually do on such days. I set out at an easy jog, my mind elsewhere.<br />

I soon settled into the comfortable, trance-like state runners find. But on the second lap, I<br />

realized that at the far end of the track, half a lap away, was a runner I hadn’t noticed.<br />

It was only on the third or fourth lap that I realized that the man was wearing a full plastic<br />

suit, with long sleeves, from his chin to his shoes. And then I started to worry about him.<br />

After another lap, I realized I needed to stop and speak to him about the danger into which<br />

he was This man’s understanding was that by running in the plastic suit on a sweltering<br />

hot day, he would lose weight. He believed he was sweating off pounds of fat. Well, this<br />

was his idea. This was his understanding. But as a physician, I knew that his understanding<br />

was incomplete, and, in an important way, very wrong. Indeed, he would lose pounds<br />

of weight. This is true. But that weight would not be fat—at least not more than a couple<br />

of ounces, at most. This man was sweating off water and minerals that his body needs to<br />

live. If he weighed himself after his run, he might well be twelve pounds lighter. But 11.9<br />

of those pounds would be water—water weight that, over the next forty-eight hours, he<br />

would re-gain as he re-hydrated. And at what risks did he put himself for the few grams<br />

of fat he burned off? He put himself at risk of heat stroke and brain damage and death. It’s<br />

not uncommon, in the emergency room, in summer here in the South, to see such events.<br />

Last Month’s Question:<br />

Do you think that ISIS is here in the USA?<br />

ISIS is a real threat, but one would be a fool to think they<br />

are not working here in the US. Don’t let media sources<br />

lead you to a false sense of security. Our borders are open<br />

we track terrorist but sometimes we miss the obvious.<br />

Remember 9/11. Jesus warns us in Mathew 24 of false<br />

teachings, rumors of war, lawlessness. So yes ISIS is here.<br />

I think all of this is just a bunch of noise to get us into<br />

another war in the middle east. Just a year ago Obama tried<br />

and failed to get us into war, now he is back trying to sell<br />

a bill of goods to America. The banks and big corporations<br />

are making money on this. Somebody has to make the<br />

Trucks In The 252 - North Vs. South<br />

North vs South mud race at Dennis Anderson’s Muddy Motorsports Park was a day of some of the best names, best<br />

trucks, and best crowd I think the park has ever seen! The side by side mega truck races and one ton truck races<br />

showcased some amazing trucks with talented drivers! The night of racing included a tough truck competition with<br />

drivers putting stock trucks to the ultimate test and several jumped over the last hill and jumped higher than some<br />

mega truck racers! Several trucks had crashes but the track crew responded to all quickly, getting the drivers out<br />

safely and relatively unharmed .<br />

Exciting racing between Carolina Spank A Nator and Opelicious race team was one of the great races of the night<br />

with the 252 areas own Carolina Spankanator winning. Milkman, Jason Sasser and Pela Motorsports,<br />

Adam Pela stunned the crowd with their awesome diesel mega trucks with Adam Pela winning in a close race where<br />

both trucks almost got crossed up over the finish line jump! Pela landed hard, blowing out a rear tire while Jason<br />

landed hard on one side blowing out both front and rear tires! The action was super and the racers that came from<br />

other states put a show on for the crowd and kept everyone cheering all night long. Although all of the carnage of<br />

the night took time to get cleared and out of harms way, the track crew did a good job but stayed busy all night long!<br />

With a warm day followed by a brief, cooling shower and a beautiful night, it was a great day for a mud race and<br />

Dennis Anderson’s Muddy Motorsports Park didn’t disappoint the crowd and hosted a wonderful event for everyone!<br />

Trucks Gone Wild had their film crew and merchandise trailer there also and helped with this awesome event to make<br />

it one of the best the east coast will see this year!<br />

Now that fall is in the air, we all seem<br />

to look around the house and see what<br />

we can do to give it a fresh new look.<br />

Some things are quick fixes like declutter,<br />

put everything in its pla1ce.<br />

However sometimes it not that simple.<br />

There is always that one piece<br />

of furniture that gets moved around<br />

because it never really looks right no<br />

matter where you put it. Before you<br />

move it yet one more time take a good<br />

hard look at it.<br />

If every time you sit in your favorite<br />

chair and it feels like you sink to the<br />

floor, it is as simple as maybe needing<br />

a new piece of foam in the cushion.<br />

Foam will break down over time.<br />

Furniture manufacturer want you to<br />

feel comfortable in a chair when you<br />

try it out in the showroom, so they put<br />

a softer density foam in the seats. If<br />

it is soft when it new it will only get<br />

softer and soon you find yourself sitting<br />

close to the floor. Its like those<br />

nice leather shoes, a little stiff at first,<br />

but when you break them in they are<br />

perfect.<br />

Any local upholstery shop will be<br />

able to replace the foam for you.<br />

However if you are a truly a do it<br />

yourself-er, it not hard to do. You<br />

can purchase foam from a retailer<br />

that sells upholstery fabrics. Keep in<br />

mind that the cushion is cut to fit the<br />

piece of furniture and the foam is cut<br />

to fit the cushion. As a general rule<br />

the foam is cut an inch bigger than the<br />

finished size of the cushion. This is<br />

so that it is stuffed tight and it doesn’t<br />

wrinkle after being sat on. It is like<br />

stuffing ten pounds of potatoes in a<br />

five pound sack but the finished look<br />

is well worth the effort.


MUSEUM ADDS NEW EXHIBIT ON ENDANGERED SPECIES<br />

Visitors to the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center recently had<br />

an opportunity to talk with Director Carl Bornfriend about a new exhibit on endangered<br />

species.<br />

“We were shocked to learn that more than thirteen hundred species of plants and animals<br />

in the United States alone are endangered,” said Bornfriend. “In fact, all species of sea<br />

turtles are either endangered or threatened, and a number of other populations are dwindling.<br />

We realized that for many people, the problem is simply a matter of being unaware<br />

of the issues. For that reason, we were most interested in helping when a representatives<br />

from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) approached us to ask if we<br />

would be willing to create an exhibit reminding the public that it is illegal to own or purchase<br />

parts, pelts, or crafts made from endangered species.”<br />

Although Native American cultures traditionally respect the sanctify of life as well as<br />

the interdependence of all living things, abuses occur when individuals act without respect<br />

for nature or the law. The new exhibit features confiscated items on loan from NOAA and<br />

the US Fish and Wildlife Service. While some items are familiar, visitors may be surprised<br />

to find cans of green sea turtle soup, a whale bone carving, seal skin belt, alligator hide<br />

boots, moccasins with fur seal tops, and other unusual crafts.<br />

Located in the museum’s natural history center, the exhibit is a reminder that<br />

preserving endangered plants and animals is not only important for individual species but is<br />

also critical to maintaining a healthy ecosystem for all of us.<br />

Andrew Womble, District Attorney<br />

by: Holly Koerber<br />

954, 1151, 2208, 2601. These are the kind of numbers Andrew Womble confronts daily since becoming District Attorney for the first Judicial District<br />

in November, 2013. They represent cases he inherited and the number of days individual defendants have spent awaiting trial at the local tax<br />

payers’ expense. Most importantly, these are the number of days VICTIMS have been waiting for justice to be served.<br />

When Andrew grew up in small town Northeastern North Carolina, you didn’t lock your doors and you were as likely to get a lecture from the police<br />

chief about doing the right thing as you were your parents. People flew the flag with pride and civility among members of the community was the<br />

rule, not the exception. There may have been mischief but it was a far cry from the kind and frequency of crime we all deal with today.<br />

Andrew was raised to respect the law and law enforcement. Education was valued and your best effort expected. Andrew exemplified these traditional<br />

values as high school valedictorian and law school graduate with honors.<br />

It was his work ethic combined with results that caught the attention of Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Richard Parker who appointed Andrew<br />

Womble the first Chief Public Defender in the 1st Judicial District (Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Pasquotank and Perquimans) in 2004.<br />

With offices in Chowan, Dare and Pasquotank Counties, the Public Defender’s office grew to 10 assistant public defenders and Andy was subsequently<br />

reappointed as Chief Public Defender in 2008 and 2012. In 2012, Andy was asked by the State of North Carolina to assume responsibility<br />

and locate and manage a Public Defender’s Office for the 5 counties in the 2nd Judicial District. The Washington, NC office of the Public Defender’s<br />

Office opened in early 2013 and Andy oversaw all indigent criminal defense cases for the 12 counties of the 1st and 2nd Judicial Districts. His district<br />

was the largest Public Defender district in the State, by both geography and by number of counties.<br />

It is this combined almost two decades of trying cases and management that makes Andrew so qualified to be District Attorney, a fact his peers recognized<br />

when they voted to recommend him to the Governor for appointment as District Attorney. Having represented indigent defendants, Andrew<br />

knows exactly how important it is to have victims of crime well represented in a timely manner. Just as a coach for defense must know offense to<br />

be effective. He knows the exorbitant expense to taxpayers that result from lengthy delays in prosecution of cases and he knows the heartbreak and<br />

long-suffering of victims as the wheels of justice do not move.<br />

Andrew brought his passion for justice, his experience establishing and managing a public office involved in justice and his trial experience as an<br />

attorney in private practice to his role as District Attorney. Just as his peers recognized his abilities when they recommended him to the Governor for<br />

appointment to District Attorney, they recognize the positive impact he has had since taking the job:<br />

“In almost 20 years of practice here, I’ve never seen the staff and attorneys in the District Attorney’s office be as friendly, upbeat, organized and responsive<br />

as they have been this year under Andrew Womble’s administration & leadership.” Danny Glover, Partner, Teague & Glover Law Firm<br />

“Andrew Womble has the kind of experience necessary for a District Attorney – Leadership Experience. Along with Andrew’s 19 years of experience<br />

in the legal profession, he is credited with establishing a top-notch public defender’s office and leading that team effectively for nearly 10 years.<br />

He is a well-respected and ethical leader. ” Eddie O’Neal, Partner, Twiford Law Firm<br />

Andrew Womble realizes the value of feeling safe in your home, schools, and communities. Asking for the public’s trust in contributing to this is not<br />

something he takes lightly. The world is a different place from when he was raised in rural Northeast North Carolina but the values he was raised<br />

with continue to serve him well. Do all things you undertake with dedication, determination and decisiveness. That’s how District Attorney Andrew<br />

Womble will continue to manage justice for victims in North Carolina.

Ghost Walk <strong>2014</strong> Pays Homage to World War II<br />

By Marjorie Berry<br />

18 th Annual Historic<br />

The Historic Elizabeth City Ghost Walk marks its 18th year with a salute to the local men and<br />

women of The Greatest Generation and their contributions to the war effort. Ghost Walk <strong>2014</strong>:<br />

World War II in the Albemarle, takes place the evenings of <strong>Oct</strong>ober 10 and 11, from 5:30 to 9:30<br />

each evening. Eight sites are included on this year’s Ghost Walk—six downtown and two on<br />

Riverside. Headquarters will be The Center, Arts of the Albemarle, at 516 E. Main Street, where<br />

attendees can purchase tickets and Ghost Walk souvenirs. Tickets are $12; $10 with military ID.<br />

Complementary transportation is provided between sites.<br />

Here is a round-up of this year’s ghosts and their sites:<br />

The ghost of young Virginia Newbern Chapin will appear in the house where she was born, 606<br />

West Main Street. A civilian worker at the Elizabeth City Naval Air Station, she’ll recall the<br />

excitement of wartime Elizabeth City, as well as the deprivations of the homefront.<br />

Andrew “Salt” Williams appears at 501 West Church Street. A retired educator, he’ll tell about<br />

his service in the Tuskegee Project, and how playing baseball for the Tuskegee Army Airfield<br />

Warhawks helped lead to postwar segregation. The ghost of Hertford resident Jack Hoffler, the<br />

youngest soldier in the D-Day invasion, haunts 409 West Church Street. He’ll tell how he<br />

enlisted at age 14, and what he had to do to meet the Navy’s weight requirements.<br />

Flight instructor Joe Flickinger makes a ghostly appearance at Museum of the Albemarle, 501<br />

S. Water Street. He’ll tell how he helped train Russian pilots to fly seaplanes in Elizabeth City<br />

as an unofficial part of Project Zebra. The museum has graciously displayed some of Flickinger’s<br />

wartime artifacts, including his flight jacket and goggles, to accompany his appearance.<br />

Meet President Franklin D. Roosevelt at 749 Riverside Avenue. He’ll tell of his 1937 visit to<br />

Elizabeth City en route to see “The Lost Colony” in Manteo. War clouds were darkening the<br />

horizon even as local citizens lined Main Street to cheer his motorcade through town.<br />

The ghost of Archie Sanders haunts the Elizabeth City Shipyard site on Riverside Avenue. He’ll tell how his yard produced more sub-chasers for the Navy<br />

Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Crab Meat<br />

By Rosie Hawthorne<br />

Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com<br />

It’s <strong>Oct</strong>ober. The air is crisp. The light has changed. My appetites are changing from the lighter fare of summer to<br />

the heartier, more substantial foods of the fall season. To balance out the transition, I’m making soups.<br />

Roasted Red Pepper Soup With Crab Meat<br />

2 TB olive oil<br />

2 red peppers, roasted<br />

1 medium onion, chopped<br />

1 carrot, peeled and chopped<br />

4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme<br />

1 large garlic clove, minced<br />

2 cups chicken broth<br />

1 medium potato, peeled and chopped<br />

1/3 cup dry white wine, Chardonnay or<br />

Sauvignon Blanc<br />

2 tsp sugar<br />

¼ cup cream<br />

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper<br />

3 TB unsalted butter, melted<br />

½ cup + crab meat<br />

Squirt of lemon juice<br />

Toasted baguette slices<br />

Extra virgin olive oil<br />

Mozzarella cheese, cut into small dice<br />

More fresh thyme<br />

For the roasted red peppers, you could use the jarred peppers, but I don’t recommend it. The flavor of your own<br />

roasted peppers is superior to anything in a jar. To roast peppers, simply place over a flame or run under the broiler<br />

until the skin is blackened. Have a bowl of ice water ready, and when the peppers are blackened, submerge them in<br />

ice water. Rub skin with thumb and forefinger and the blackened skin will come right off.<br />

Heat olive oil in deep pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and thyme and sauté about 3-4 minutes, until onions<br />

are translucent. Add in garlic, potatoes, roasted peppers, wine, broth, and sugar. Whenever you’re cooking with<br />

wine, use a wine you would actually drink. Never buy “cooking wine.” Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.<br />

Partially cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly. I used an immersion blender to<br />

purée the soup until smooth, but you could use a regular blender and process in batches. Stir in cream and season to<br />

taste with salt and pepper.<br />

Drizzle olive oil onto baguette slices and toast.<br />

Melt butter, add crab meat, and lemon juice to taste. Heat through.<br />

Ladle soup into bowls, top with crab meat, diced mozzarella, fresh thyme, and extra ground black pepper, and serve<br />

with a toasted baguette.<br />

My next soup was inspired from a visit last spring to the newly opened Saltbox Café on Colington Road. Chefs/owners<br />

Amanda Wolf and Randolph Sprinkle have created a lovely venue here. I liked their presentation of tomato and<br />

basil soup so much that I went home to reproduce it with my own twist. I love it when a restaurant stimulates me to<br />

create! And congratulations to Amanda and Randolph on their recent nuptials!<br />

The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an expression of fealty to the Flag of the<br />

United States and the republic of the United States of America, originally composed by<br />

Francis Bellamy in 1892 and formally adopted by Congress as the pledge in 1942. The official<br />

name of The Pledge of Allegiance was adopted in 1945. The last change in language<br />

came on Flag Day 1954 when the words “under God” were added.<br />

Official versions<br />

(changes in bold italics)<br />

“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible,<br />

with liberty and justice for all.”<br />

1892 to 1922<br />

“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible,<br />

with liberty and justice for all.”<br />

1923<br />

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States and to the republic for which it stands;<br />

one Nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”<br />

1924 to 1954<br />

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for<br />

which it stands; one Nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”<br />

1954 to present<br />

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for<br />

which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”<br />

<br />

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855–1931),<br />

who was a Baptist minister, a founding member of Boston’s first nationalist club, and the<br />

cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (1850–1898).<br />

Swearing of the Pledge is accompanied by a salute. An early version of the salute, adopted<br />

in 1892, was known as the Bellamy salute. The pledge was begun with the right hand over<br />

the heart, and after reciting “to the Flag,” the arm was extended toward the Flag, palmdown.<br />

Because of the similarity between the Bellamy salute and the Nazi salute, developed<br />

later, the United States Congress instituted the hand-over-the-heart gesture as the salute<br />

to be rendered by civilians during the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem in the<br />

United States, instead of the Bellamy salute.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

The phrase “under god” was added to the Pledge in 1954 by President Eisenhower, he said,<br />

after adding these words, “In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious<br />

faith in America’s heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual<br />

weapons which forever will be country’s most powerful resource in peace and war.”<br />

Dear Dr. Crime: Isn’t our State dumb to let people carry guns around in their pockets? If<br />

we just outlaw guns we would have less crime, right? Frightened Teacher<br />

Dear Frightened Teacher:<br />

Even in the angry, upset world of today I know of few issues that generate more emotion<br />

than gun control. A recent review of the research on the effects of gun control laws and<br />

crime rates seemed to offer conclusions based not on emotion but on science. Lott reviewed<br />

the research and found a beneficial effect of right-to-carry laws. In a law journal he offered<br />

the following finding: “Using cross sectional time series data for U.S. counties from 1977<br />

to 1992, we find that allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons deters violent crimes,<br />

without increasing accidental deaths. If those states without right to carry concealed gun<br />

provisions had adopted them in 1992, county and state level data indicate that approximately<br />

1,500 murders would have been avoided yearly. Similarly, we predict that rapes would have<br />

declined by over 4,000, robbery by over 11,000, and aggravated assaults by over 60,000. We<br />

also find criminals substituting into property crimes involving stealth, where the probability<br />

of contact between the criminal and the victim is minimal…. The estimated annual gain from<br />

all remaining states adopting these laws was at least $5.74 billion in 1992.” Yet, the National<br />

Research Council recently reviewed the data linking firearms and violence (different<br />

from Lott’s study) and concluded the data in the very convoluted issue that involves so many<br />

factors cannot produce an answer. They called for more research on violence and guns. I<br />

believe we truly need extensive study of the causes of violence as well as right-to-carry laws<br />

guide our policy. And of course there is the matter of what our US Constitutions says.<br />

The witchcraft case of Grace Sherwood is<br />

one of the best known in Virginia. She was<br />

accused of bewitching a neighbor’s crop<br />

in 1698. Allegations grew over time until<br />

the Princess Anne County government and<br />

her accusers decided she would be tested<br />

by ducking, since water was condiered<br />

pure and would not permit a witch to sink<br />

into its depths. Sherwood’s accusers on<br />

10 July 1706 tied her hands to her feet and<br />

dropped her into the Western Branch of the<br />

Lynnhaven River near what is now known<br />

as Witch Duck Point. Sherwood floated, a<br />

sign of guilt. She was imprisoned, but was<br />

eventually released. Sherwood lived the rest<br />

of her life quietly and died by 1740.<br />

Department of Historic Resources, 2002<br />

So when you are in Virginia Beach and see<br />

Witchduck Rd. You know the history behind<br />

the name.<br />

Delbert Grady: I’m sorry to differ with you sir, but *you* are the caretaker.<br />

You’ve always been the caretaker. I should know sir - I’ve always<br />

been here.<br />

MESSAGE FROM LOCAL ATTORNEYS ABOUT DISTRICT ATTORNEY ELECTION<br />

In November our communities in Northeastern North Carolina will vote for a District Attorney. This race is extremely important because, at the<br />

end of the day, the District Attorney is the person ultimately responsible for the safety of our communities. However, a District Attorney must be more<br />

than merely a prosecuting attorney. To be effective, a District Attorney must<br />

- Be fair to everyone involved in the criminal justice system, including victims, the accused, witnesses, officers and attorneys;<br />

- Pursue justice, not just convictions at the expense of accusing and prosecuting innocent people;<br />

- Effectively oversee thousands of cases;<br />

- Administer multiple courts in all seven counties of Northeastern North Carolina, many of which are running at the same time;<br />

- Prepare cases in advance so as not to underutilize our limited court time and waste taxpayer dollars;<br />

- Manage numerous assistant prosecutors and scores of support staff;<br />

- Be physically present in the office and in the courts in order to oversee the work being done by the assistants and support staff;<br />

- Work with dozens of law enforcement agencies to investigate, prepare and prosecute cases;<br />

- Utilize people and leadership skills in order to lead the assistant prosecutors and support staff;<br />

- Be willing to deal with the public and work with and be responsive to the other court personnel, including Judges, Clerks and defense<br />

attorneys who are equally integral to the criminal justice system;<br />

- Work with families and their attorneys involved in domestic violence cases, which involve both civil and criminal litigation;<br />

- Understand that every day an alleged criminal sits in jail awaiting trial not only deprives that person of his/her liberty prior to having<br />

been found guilty, but it also costs the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.<br />

As attorneys who are in court every day in all of the counties across the First Judicial District, and as the ones who deal with the District Attorney<br />

and his staff on a daily basis, we are able to observe the District Attorney and the District Attorney’s staff more often and in more situations than almost<br />

anyone else. In addition, several of us began our careers in the District Attorney’s office and know first-hand the requirements and challenges inherent to<br />

the office.<br />

In the past year, Andrew Womble has made significant positive changes in processes, improved communications and consistency,<br />

uplifted the morale of his office, and is obviously looking for solutions to issues that have negatively affected the office for years. Cases are now better<br />

and more quickly prepared; trial dockets are better organized and managed; and phone calls are returned by the District Attorney and his staff. It is apparent<br />

to each of us that this District Attorney’s office is being managed and led more effectively, and is functioning better, than it has in a great number<br />

of years.<br />

Having observed the District Attorney’s office workings for years, we firmly and without reservation believe that there is only one candidate<br />

equipped and qualified to serve as District Attorney of the First Judicial District, and we completely support<br />
