Starship Troopers 

by: Robert A. Heinlein 

Starship Troopers is a military science fiction novel by U.S. writer 

Robert A. Heinlein. Written in a few weeks in reaction to the U.S. 

suspending nuclear tests, the story was first published as a two-part serial 

in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction as Starship Soldier, 

and published as a book by G. P. Putnam’s Sons in December 1959. 

The story is set in a future society ruled by a world government dominated 

by a military elite. The first-person narrative follows Juan “Johnny” 

Rico through his military service in the Mobile Infantry. Rico progresses 

from recruit to officer against the backdrop of an interstellar war 

between humans and an alien species known as “Arachnids” or “Bugs”. 

Interspersed with the primary plot are classroom scenes in which Rico 

and others discuss philosophical and moral issues, including aspects of 

suffrage, civic virtue, juvenile delinquency, and war; these discussions 

have been described as expounding Heinlein’s own political views. 

Starship Troopers has been identified with a tradition of militarism in 

U.S. science fiction, and draws parallels between the conflict between 

humans and the Bugs, and the Cold War. A coming-of-age novel, 

Starship Troopers also critiques U.S. society of the 1950s, argues that 

a lack of discipline had led to a moral decline, and advocates corporal 

and capital punishment. 

It became one of his best-selling books, and is considered his most 

widely known work. It won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1960, and 

garnered praise from reviewers for its scenes of training and combat 

and its visualization of a future military. It also became enormously controversial 

because of the political views it seemed to support.

Mother-Son Dance 

by Colleen Brown 

On May 19th, 2018, the Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a Mother-Son 

Dance at Louise’s Event Center in Hertford beginning at six in the evening. A 

family-centered gala event, the Dance will feature contests and activities to keep 

all ages interested and having a great time. The crowning moment of the evening 

will be the election of the Mother of the Year, decided by popular vote. 

This elegant and delightful event was the brainchild of Louise Privott, owner of 

Louise’s Event Center. Mrs. Privott noticed that there were several Father-Daughter 

events, hosted by various organizations. Why not one for Mothers and Sons? 

As a member of the Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, 

Mrs. Privott suggested that the Chamber host a celebration of mother & sons 

the weekend after mother’s day. After all, many people would have traditional 

celebrations on Mother’s Day. But, most sons would be happy to also make a tradition 

of escorting their mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, the mothers of their 

children or other mother-fi gure who made a great impact on their lives to a dance 

in honor of all Mothers everywhere. 

There will be a DJ on hand, spinning a variety of dance tunes that will tempt 

people of all ages to show their skills on the dance fl oor (and a dancing contest 

for those so inclined), but there will also be other activities for those who hesitate 

to dance. Face painting for the very young and other games, photographs – both 

formal portraits and casual or comic mementos – to remember the event, opportunities 

to socialize with old friend and to meet new people, light refreshments 

and beverages for those tired from their exertions on the dance fl oor. And every 

son will have an opportunity, if he so chooses, to speak in praise and support of 

his mother, sharing with the whole crowd, the ways she infl uenced his life and 

success. 

This is an all ages, all family event. Please bring your children and your grandmother, 

your sisters and brother, your mother, your step mother and anyone who is 

a true mother-fi gure to you. You will have a wonderful time in an elegant atmosphere 

and it will be an event you and your mother will never forget.

What You’ve Always Wanted to Know About Troubling, Icky Mold But Never Asked- Part II 

Mold remediation expert Harry Cannon of Dwelling 

Management Solutions helps us understand how 

you can take control of issues. 

Why is mold remediation often a process versus a onetime 

endeavor? 

Mold remediation, much like pest control, is not a onetime 

endeavor. Mold can return because spores are 

airborne. They travel through HVAC units and growth 

can spread due to condensation and humidity. 

If storm season is over and Hurricane Matthew is 

behind us, why should I be concerned? Back-up fl ooding 

and other residual effects can occur. You can be 

proactive by monitoring moisture and water in the crawl 

space area. 

How can mold treatments be tailored for historic buildings? 

Since some chemicals can be corrosive on old materials, 

using organic compounds is a useful place to start. 

In addition, a hydrogen peroxide low pressure rinse 

may also be safer on the outside than a typical pressure 

wash. Check with a local professional for options. 

What are the best ways prospective homebuyers can 

investigate whether mold is present on a property they 

are considering? 

When purchasing a home, we recommend you enlist a 

home inspector qualifi ed to test for mold. Keep in mind 

preliminary tests will not tell you how much spore growth 

exists, but confi rm whether the inside spore count is different 

from the environment outside. From there, further 

protocols can be determined. 

Do lab tests ever come back with errors? 

We have never seen properly conducted laboratory tests 

come back inaccurate. If you do not understand readings, 

you should have them explained and interpreted. 

Dwelling Management Solutions offers proactive 

(rather than reactive) mold treatment programs. If you 

are looking for a step-by-step action plan to protect your 

health and control potential issues at your property, contact

Health and Nutrition Strategies For 

Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else 

Warren Green is a 30 year member of the Institute of Food 

Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point) 

Instructor with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition Science. 

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

really try to avoid punditry, but I think it’s time to give 

I you my expert opinion on epidemiology issues that 

I find troubling in my beloved Albemarle. In order for my 

opinion on health matters to have any credibility, I have to 

provide my credentials. So, here we go. 

My food safety career spanned over 30 years beginning 

as a New York State Meat and Poultry Inspector, initiating 

inspection in New York City. From there to USDA Inspector-In-Charge 

in rural upstate New York (Binghamton), 

to administratively in USDA headquarters in Washington, 

D.C. 

My credentials include: HAACP Lead Instructor Training, 

Foodborne Disease Control, Microbial Ecology of Food, 

and Community Hygiene. In my position as Supervisory 

Food Technologist in the Standards and Labeling Division 

and Senior staff in the Food Safety Inspection Service, I 

frequently contributed data and analysis to the Epidemic 

Intelligence Service, and explained agency policies in 

congressional hearings. I was on the team that revolutionized 

the way mandatory meat and poultry labeling 

was approved, and I authored and initiated the original 

safe food handling instructions, on all non-cooked meat 

and poultry products. 

I relocated to Northeast North Carolina a decade ago 

after my prostate cancer’s recurrence. Seeking services, 

such as local support groups screenings,etc.,I contacted 

the American Cancer Society to learn what was available. 

They advised me that services and information were 

very limited and if I was interested in facilitating a “Man 

to Man Prostate Group ” and becoming a cancer advocate 

in Elizabeth City, which I eagerly agreed to. After 

three rewarding years, the program was terminated. This 

column overlapped the support group and I was able to 

continue my advocacy through this platform. 

My food safety background and cancer advocacy has 

formed my current public policy perspective of “Cause

and Effect”. Why does Northeast N.C. have such a high 

cancer and health disparity. I believe as Johns Hopkins 

researchers assert, that the prostate and breast cancer 

have a dietary link. 

So let’s connect some dots. In last month’s column I 

stated that local leadership was misguided by not being 

true to the region’s culture. The state of North Carolina 

was created for it’s rich soil and long growing season. For 

more than a century, it was a major agricultural giant, 

leading the nation in tobacco and cotton textiles. 

That segues comfortably into the College of the Albemarle’s 

initiative to develop an agriculture based curriculum. 

They suggest that it could open local jobs in the 

agribiz industry. I’m of course, particularly interested in 

the niche aspect of their initiative. They include organic 

farming, specialty crop and plant nurseries. An accredited 

organic testing lab fi ts very nicely in that scenario 

since Clemson University has ceased organic soil testing 

operations in North Carolina. Elizabeth City State University’s 

Non-Land Grant Status should EASILY provide the 

resources, funding and professional laboratory personal 

to seamlessly provide those lucrative testing services to 

N.C. And the rest of the world. 

Local soil testing will also serve to rule out local food as 

the culprit or cause of the health disparity. 

A very wise friend at the Knobs Creek Senior Center 

shared a profound statement which will be a phrase I’ll be 

making part of my vocabulary. “You don’t know it unless 

you grow it”. 

This months recalls and my observations : E-coli and 

Salmonella are both transmitted in feces. In an earlier 

article I reported on bio-solids or sewage sludge, here’s a 

refresher. Bio-solids/Sewage sludge are treated sewage 

used for fertilizing. I believe that outbreaks such as the 

romaine lettuce thing is a breakdown of the bio-solids 

quality control. Bio-solids are not allowed in U.S. Certifi ed 

Organic Products. Conversely, if your food is not U.S. 

Certifi ed Organic, well, you are what you eat.

Hi folks, I am Bill Ward and I am a Republican 

candidate for Sheriff in Pasquotank County. 

As you are all aware, voting is upon us. I would 

like to take this opportunity to thank all of you 

who came out and voted, particularly those that 

entrusted their votes to me. This primary has 

been interesting, at the least. The turnout has 

been spectacular and I appreciate each and 

every voter that ventured to the polls to exercise 

their inherent right to vote, no matter which candidate 

that they chose. 

I would especially like to thank my beautiful wife, 

Susan, who has been with me during every step 

of this campaign. She has been a bastion of 

strength and support whether it was at campaign 

functions or working the polls. She loaned me her 

strength when I was tired and encouraged me to 

move forward with this cause that we believe in. 

I would also be remiss if I did not recognize all of 

the friends and family that supported our campaign. 

I truly appreciate each and every one of 

you for the encouragement and support that you 

showed us. This campaign has shown us what a 

truly wonderful and caring community that we live 

in. The making of new friendships and renewing 

old acquaintances has been truly remarkable 

and makes us proud to be a part of such a caring 

community. 

Again, thank you to all that came out to support 

us and for each of you that showed confidence in 

me with your sacred vote. 


Did you know the 

Albemarle Tradewinds 

is located in more than 

250 locations in NENC 

and Chesapeake?

I 

’ve made several hunting trips where I fl ew commercially 

and took along a fi rearm. The rules seemed to 

change with the wind, and I present the following as a caution 

to others. There are basically 2 sets of rules you have 

to follow to fl y with a fi rearm: those of the FAA/TSA and 

those of your particular airline. You also have to be aware 

of local laws in every place you pass through. 

The TSA rules are available on their website, and say that 

the weapon has to be unloaded. It has to be in a locked, 

hard-sided, airline-approved case. Only the gun owner 

may have a key. It must go in checked baggage only. You 

have to declare it as a fi rearm at check-in, and insert a 

card supplied by the airline verifying that you are the owner 

of the gun in that case. “Small amounts of ammunition” 

may be transported either in its original box or in a container 

designed to hold ammo that keeps individual rounds 

from banging around inside the suitcase. The ammo must 

also be in a checked bag. ANY part of a firearm must go in 

checked baggage, so don’t throw that extra empty magazine 

in your carry-on. 

airlines actually prefer that you transport a handgun in a 

long case because there has been such a problem with 

handguns disappearing while in airline custody, and a 

handgun case advertises what it contains). Another allows 

a maximum of 11 pounds of ammunition. Southwest 

required that we open the cases at check-in. Delta did not. 

When you arrive at your destination, the rule is supposed 

to be that you must present a picture ID at the baggage 

offi ce to claim only the gun with a tag matching that name. 

However, I came into Norfolk on a late fl ight where the gun 

cases came popping up on the conveyor, along with the 

rest of the luggage. On another late arrival into Norfolk, I 

was allowed to claim my gun with just my plane ticket--no 

ID, but my friend had to present an ID. On our last trip, 

we arrived in Norfolk after the guy had claimed a checked 

gun at the Miami airport, loaded it, and shot up the airport, 

so Delta made us wait while they put a heavy duty zip tie 

around the case, just to walk 50 feet out to our waiting 

car (as if a zip tie is going to stop someone bent on mass 

murder). Again, the airlines sort of make it up as they go 

along.

Everything is theoretically 

impossible, until it is done. 


In reality, my TSA experiences are vastly different from 

what the rules say. Clearing TSA at Norfolk International is 

a breeze compared to other airports. They X-Ray the guns 

in their cases, and can clearly see that they are unloaded, 

so they wish us good luck and waive us on through. 

Other airports are more stringent. San Antonio insists 

on taking the gun case and the owner in the back room, 

where they question you about your destination, etc, while 

taking swabs of your hands for explosives. San Antonio 

also gave my friend a hard time because he only had one 

padlock on his case, and someone “could” pry open the 

end of the case and get the gun out. His argument that it 

might be possible, but that the case and gun were going to 

be in the secure custody of TSA/the airline was met with a 

blank stare. Minneapolis TSA also requested that we go 

into a back room, where they made us unlock the case so 

they could physically handle the guns. (My buddy thinks 

they just wanted to play with them). I went with a friend 

to Nicaragua, where he carried his own shotgun. I feared 

that he was asking for trouble taking an expensive shotgun 

to a communist-controlled country, and I was right, sort 

of. Nicaraguan authorities gave him no problem, but TSA/ 

Customs delayed him 30 minutes arriving back in Atlanta, 

asking him all sorts of questions, including how could he 

prove that he didn’t buy the gun in Nicaragua, what he 

planned to do,with it, etc. (Remember, we were coming 

home, from a country not exactly known as being a black 

market for Benelli shotguns for gringos.). As for ammo, 

when I claimed my bags from Minneapolis, I discovered 

that TSA had dumped an entire box of shotgun shells 

loose in the bottom of my bag, where they were free to 

rattle around and clack together during the fl ight and the 

usual rough handling by the baggage crew. The bottom 

line? TSA rules may be subject to interpretation, and they 

don’t always follow them. 

The airline rules vary by airline. Most repeat the TSA 

rules, but add a few of their own. For instance, one allows 

you to pack up to 5 handguns in a long-gun case. (Some 

Those pretty, brushed-aluminum gun cases may be lockable 

and “airline approved”, but they get dented/scarred by 

rough handling, and the locks are the fi rst thing to break. 

Baggage handlers have no mercy on anything, and your 

case is going to get tossed and slammed. The heavy, 

molded fi berglass cases like a Pelican, or one of its cheaper 

copies, provide much better protection and are practically 

indestructible. Make sure to get one with wheels, as 

it can be a long trek through an airport carrying 40-50 lbs. 

Lock the case with as many good quality padlocks as will 

fi t on the case. Don’t ever trust the built-in locks. 

Finally, be very aware of the fi rearms laws in every 

location you are travelling through, even if it’s not your 

fi nal destination. There are all sorts of horror stories about 

people transporting a handgun in checked bags making 

a connection through New York. The scenario is that the 

weather gets bad and shuts down the airport for a couple 

of days. Passengers are then forced to pick up their 

luggage, and are instantly in violation of NY state law by 

possessing a handgun without a NY permit. There are 

several countries where it is illegal to possess any kind of 

fi rearm. 

My best advice is as follows: 1) Go on the TSA and airline 

websites, print out their rules for carrying fi rearms, and 

scrupulously follow them. Carry copies with you in your 

carry-on bag. It is easier to argue with a beuracrat when 

you speak his language. 2) Carry extra locks and keys 

to fit your case. You never know when some “expert” will 

decided that “locked” means more than one lock. 3) Don’t 

argue with the man while he is holding your gun hostage. 

Jump through whatever hoops he says and get out of 

there. 4) Buy the toughest gun case you can afford. It’s 

stupid to let a $600 gun get messed up because you put 

it in a fl imsy $25 case. 5) Always know the laws of every 

jurisdiction you are passing through, and plan accordingly.

JIM KAIGHN INSURANCE AGENCY- HOME OF THE “INSURANCE DOCTOR” 

We make house calls!! 

In last months article, I mentioned that I 

was going to start some articles on MON- 

EY MATTERS, not just insurance, of course, 

which is all tied together anyway.!!Many of 

you, my faithful readers, have some kind of 

savings plan set up, either on your own or 

through an employer.. I am not going to go 

into the goods and bads of these plans, not 

in this article. Those of you who have a lump 

of money in a 401-K or an IRA or savings 

account or a sock or whatever, need to understand 

how money works and how it can grow 

or decrease without you doing anything about 

it.. Of course, money in a sock or a tin can 

buried in the back yard will not grow because 

it is just sitting there, but this can be a good 

thing because it can not lose value as money 

in a stock market account or mutual funds if 

the there is a crash.. The only chance of you 

losing value of that money is that of through 

infl ation ( which makes the value less and the 

cost of goods more), or through the OPPOR- 

TUNITY COSTS of the money.. That is what 

the money could be earning or buying for you 

and for the chance that it might grow..Nothing 

happens until it is put to work. If you are 

happy with a nest egg in your tin can because 

you do not trust banks or it is an emergency 

fund that you do not dare to lose, then this is 

a good choice for you.. If you understand what 

the RULE OF 72 means... Simple put, if you 

have a large amount of money sitting in an account, 

not doing anything and growing at some 

interest rate, that money can DOUBLE all by 

itself over the years depending on the interest 

rate that you are getting..Let’s go back pre- 

Obama years, into the 70’s, 80’s 90’s: back 

when interest rates were 5%, 7% and so.. then 

life was good for growth.. So, let’s say that 

you could earn 7.2% on your.. the RULE OF 

72 means that if you divide your interest rate 

(7.2) into 72 , you get 10... that means that 

your money would double in 10 YEARS, all by 

itself.. if you were only getting 4%, your money 

would double in 18 YEARS--72 divided by 4 

= 18..Knowing this kind of money workings 

can help someone plan for the future if they 

are not going to add any new money into the 

account.. So if you have it in one account that 

is post-Obama, paying .5%, like many people 

have in CD’s or money market accounts, your 

money will double in 144 YEARS!!!!! There is 

a BIG DOWNSIDE to this RULE OF 72 that 

can make your debt double the same way and 

make banks rich and lenders RICH, RICH!!!! 

If your loan or credit card has an outstanding 

balance of whatever and all you do is pay the 

minimum each month, and still go out and 

charge things and never pay more than the 

minimum that is due, YOUR DEBT WILL DOU- 

BLE BY DIVIDING YOUR INTEREST RATE 

INTO 72.. For instance, if your rate on your 

new credit card is 18%, that $5000 new riding 

lawn mower you just had to have because 

your neighbor just got one, that $5000 debt will 

now become $10,000 in 4 (FOUR) YEARS... If 

you just pay the minimum.. and of course, you 

will still add to that card every year just to keep 

up with your neighbor buying attachments!!! 

So, here you are, living at your means or 

beyond your means now and wonder why you 

can not get ahead...This is just some of the 

ideas I will present each month to help you 

learn how money works, good and bad.. If you 

folks have any questions about any money 

matters or insurance matters, call me at 252 

335 5983 or 252 202 5983 or e-mail me at “IN-

Dear Dr. Crime: Are we having more mass shooting 

than in the past? Is it that other political party or my 

former wife causing it? Paranoid Fellow 

Dear Paranoid: No you are not nuts, although your 

selection of causes is off a lot. Let us focus on shooting 

incidents occurring in a public place with a fi rearm, 

indiscriminate killing of at least three innocent people. 

Such evil events in the past ten years are about 2 ½ 

times greater than the previous decade. In the past such 

crimes were not so frequent. Consider that more than 

half (57%) of all recorded mass shootings occurred within 

the past 10 years. I got this data from the National Criminal 

Justice Reference Service, so I believe it, but they do 

not offer explanations or causes. In 2017 there were 11 

mass shootings, more than in any other year in recorded 

history. Of all recorded shootings occurring in 2017, 

there were 117 fatalities and 587 casualties. 

Dear Dr. Crime: How do I protect myself on the internet? 

Frightened fellow. 

Dear Fellow: You are not alone and I hear that question 

often. I would guess that anyone using the internet often 

has such concerns. Not being a computer professional 

I can only point you to solutions. The current PCWorld 

offers a security software bundle. See pcworld@

Dear Dr. Crime: My sister has been abused and she 

is still a kid. Should I worry that will infl uence her adult 

behavior? Big Brother 

Dear Brother: God bless you for your concern about 

your sister. Unfortunately, the answer is probably yes, 

although I cannot predict about a single individual I have 

not studied. The National Institute of Justice tells us 

that research shows child abuse and neglect increases 

the risk of later forms of antisocial behavior, including 

violence in adulthood. We do not have good research 

showing the details of cause, so I have little to suggest 

about public policy. In your particular case, I strongly 

encourage you to go to your county Department of Social 

Service and talk with a counselor. Perhaps you can 

secure custody of your sister so that she need not live in 

danger. Good luck.

Chowanoke History 

by Duvonya Chavis 

American Indians were often noted as hunter gatherers. 

While this may have been partially true for some Indian 

tribes during certain seasons, overall this concept has no 

real scientifi c basis. Indians were far more sophisticated and 

employed techniques consistent with the times. For instance, 

Chowanoke villages used an agricultural system that incorporated 

planting and harvesting several times throughout the 

planting season and storage methods to preserve the food 

during the winter months, until planting season came around 

during the spring. For example, various types of corn or 

maize were strategically planted during different stages of 

growth in March, April, and May. A variety of corn with different 

colors such as red, blue, yellow/streaked and white was 

planted and depending on the type of corn planted, a harvest 

could be expected anywhere from 11 to 14 weeks later. 

During planting season, Chowanoke women maintained 

small garden plots throughout the village entirely by themselves. 

However, large communal corn fi elds and the Chiefs’ 

garden were maintained jointly by men and women. The 

men would till and prepare the grounds while the women 

usually harvested the corn and would shell and dry the corn 

on mats. This preserved the corn and allowed it to be stored 

during the winter season. Corn was also often pounded into 

Rockahomine meal and used to make bread. 

Corn was planted in a strategic manner to allow room for 

beans, peas, squash, pumpkin, and sunfl ower seeds to 

grow. Squash and pumpkins provided cover for the ground 

to control the weeds and corn stalks provided a pole for 

beans to grow on. Hence when grown together, “the three 

sisters” had a symbiotic relationship and provided nutrients 

and benefi ts for the other. 

Duvonya, a Chowanoke Indian 

descendant, is President 

of Roanoke-Chowan Native 

American Association, a 

non-profi t organization whose 

mission is to help American 

Indians in Northeastern NC 

and Southeastern VA. She 

currently sits on the council 

of the Chowanoke Tribe. 

In partnership with another 

Chowanoke descendant, 

she is currently developing 

Chowanoke Reservation for 

tribal descendants to gather 

and hold cultural events.

Paradiso Roma Ristorante 

Paradiso Roma Ristorante is located on the Camden 

Causeway in the old Marina building that was once 

a beloved landmark of Elizabeth City. The restaurant’s 

main dining area offers upstairs and downstairs views 

of the Pasquotank River as well as patio seating and 

boat pick-up. 

One of the restaurant’s greatest features is its ability to 

allow boaters to dock either at the restaurant or at the 

Pelican Marina located next door. 

During dinner service, the homemade pasta is tossed 

tableside in a hand-carved bowl of Romano cheese. 

The restaurant also features a full bar, which is managed 

by Andrew’s mother, Rebecca Cathon. Rebecca 

also works closely with local vendors to offer great 

meal-pairings. Currently, Ghost Harbor, Bold Rock, and 

Wicked Weed are available on tap, and the restaurant’s 

sweet wine offerings are supplied by Vineyards on the 

Scuppernong. 

Paradiso owners, Andrew and Tiffany LeClair, have 

done their best to preserve the building’s integrity. The 

young couple started their fi rst small restaurant in Fort 

Lauderdale, Florida, but moved to northeastern North 

Carolina to be closer to family after adopting three 

young children. Andrew is a high school English teacher 

in Chesapeake, and Tiffany, who learned her craft from 

her grandfather, is the restaurant’s executive chef. 

Many of Paradiso’s dishes are modernized versions of 

her childhood favorites. 

Paradiso is a fresh-concept restaurant, meaning Tiffany 

avoids pre-packaged and frozen foods. She works 

closely with local meat and produce vendors, such 

as Brothers Farm, Hall Farm, Lane Angus Beef, and 

Southern Packing, to maintain the quality and freshness 

traditional to an Italian restaurant. Several variations of 

pasta are made from scratch daily, including Pappardelle, 

Fettuccine, Linguine, Ravioli and Vegetable-Infused 

pastas such as Beet, Spinach, and Pumpkin.

The Young Pros Are Coming to Albemarle Plantation 

Diabetes: Own it! Control it! 

by Claude Milot 

Ever wonder how good golfers make it to the PGA tour? It’s not 

easy. There is no annual draft of college players, no minor league 

system like in baseball, and few national amateur tournaments to 

open the door to the big time. The best way is through the Web. 

com tour, and the best way to gain entry into Web.com is through 

an exemption earned by winning a minor qualifying tournament on 

one of the country’s professional development tours. One of these 

tournaments is the 2018 Biggs Classic to be played on Albemarle 

Plantation’s Sound Golf Links starting May 22nd. 

The timing is perfect for Loopers who would like to see 

some terrifi c pro golf played on a magnifi cent course—where action 

on the 16th green can actually be seen from the Albemarle Plantation 

Marina. The Marina offers free slippage to visiting boaters for two 

days, and tournament attendance is free. Tournament week begins 

with a Pro-Am on May 22nd, followed by the three-day main event 

starting May 24th. The fi eld for the tournament will be limited to 120 

players, with a fi nal cut to the low third and ties. The winner gets fi rstplace 

money and earns an exemption to play the following week in 

the Rex Hospital Open at the TPC Wakefi eld Plantation in Raleigh. 

For these great young pros with visions of a career on the 

PGA tour, this will be a very serious competition. So, to see some 

really good golf—and to enjoy Albemarle Plantation’s great hospitality—Loopers 

should begin now to plan a stop at Albemarle Plantation 

Marina during tournament week

Rock Fish Tacos 

By Jimmy Fleming mrfl emz@embarqmail.com 

I 

’ve had a very good late winter and spring Striper fi shing 

season this year … catching my limit almost every time 

I’ve gone out. Therefore, I’ve had lots of great fi sh fi lets to 

eat which my family enjoys very much. Normally I bread the 

fi lets and fry them or put some seasoning on them and broil 

them in the oven which are both great choices. I recently 

tried my hand at fi sh tacos and they were great! So … let 

me share with you my take on fi sh tacos and a cool version 

of coleslaw to try with them. First I cut my filets into smaller 

more taco sized pieces and seasoned them with a little 

sea salt, pepper, and Old Bay ( you can use your favorite 

seasoning, coat in fl our/meal, or batter them).. I then fried 

the fi lets in a little olive oil until done and set them on a wire 

rack to drain the oil. I used soft fl our tortillas which I warmed 

in the microwave. Put your fi sh on the taco and add your favorite 

taco fi xings ( lettuce, tomato, salsa, guacamole, sour 

cream, cheese, etc). To make the slaw for a cool side dish 

you will need a couple of cups or so of shredded cabbage, 

a jalapeno pepper, Mexican La crème, cilantro, and a lime. 

Put the shredded cabbage in a bowl, add about a tablespoon 

of chopped cilantro and about ½ of the jalapeno pepper 

fi nely diced. Add a nice pinch of sea salt, the juice of ½ 

a lime, and about 3 tablespoons or so of the La crème. Stir 

the ingredients together and refrigerate for about an hour 

before serving. Fix your self a couple of these fi sh tacos, a 

nice side of the coleslaw, and a cold bottle of Corona (if you 

are so inclined) and enjoy the fruits of your labor!!! 

Pet Partners 

By Jane Elfring 

For more than 40 years, Pet Partners has worked to improve human health 

and well-being through animal-assisted interventions, which are goal 

oriented and structured interventions that intentionally incorporate animals in 

health, education and human service for the purpose of therapeutic gains and 

improved health and wellness. 

Unlike many animal therapy groups, Pet Partners trains and certifi es nine 

species of animals including cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, llamas and small horses 

in addition to dogs. These animals work with clients in a number of settings. 

Locally, Pet Partners of Coastal Carolina has been active visiting nursing 

homes and local library story hours, working with special needs individuals, and 

helping local college students relieve exam stress. In each of these situations, 

handlers see the positive impact that animal presence has on individuals. 

Alzheimer’s patients who might otherwise remain in their rooms respond to the 

dogs and talk about animals they had while they were growing up. 

In the Read With Me program, students with literacy challenges have the 

opportunity to read to the animals to increase their fl uency in a non-judgmental 

setting. 

All handlers must be able to complete an on-line Pet Partners Handler 

Course. This computer training explains the organization’s philosophy and 

requirements. Once this training is completed, dog owners must also complete 

an obedience training program. All animals must be current on vaccinations 

and be screened by their local veterinarian before they are evaluated by a Pet 

Partners licensed team evaluator. If the animal passes this evaluation, it is 

approved to begin working in the local area. 

In addition to handlers, the organization needs volunteers to help with other 

tasks such as taking photos of therapy sessions and distributing information at 

local events

By Jane Elfring 

President, Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity 

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity is an affi liate of 

Habitat for Humanity International. As such, we agree 

to follow all guidelines and practices of HFHI. By July 1, we 

must have a licensed loan originator to prepare our loan 

paperwork for new homebuyers. We originate a new loan 

once or twice a year, making this is small time commitment. 

Each Habitat affi liate self-funds loans so there is no requirement 

that a local lending institution approve or fund 

the loan. We follow HFH guidelines for eligibility and approve 

partner families for new loans. HFH partner families 

undergo credit checks and must prove their ability to pay a 

monthly mortgage. In addition, they must have a verifi able 

need for a house, such as poor living conditions, high rent 

or high utilities. Once these requirements are met, they 

must complete sweat equity hours on their house and other 

Habitat projects in the area. 

At the present time, we are evaluating applications from 

several potential partner families. These families are in the 

process of completing classes for fi rst-time homebuyers, 

credit counseling and budgeting which we require to help 

them be successful homeowners.

Families should be honored with the gift of an estate plan 

By: Stella Knight 

Y 

ou don’t have to wait until Christmas or a birthday to 

give a gift to the people you love. This month, we 

will celebrate Memorial Day. We honor our veterans – 

those who fi ght to protect our country and freedom as 

well as those who have died in combat. 

Many veterans are characterized as courageous, adventurous, 

and responsible. The men and women who 

serve in our military know that they are risking their lives 

for their country. There is always the possibility that they 

may not return home to their friends and family. Early in 

their careers, servicemen and women often recognize 

that few decisions in life are as distasteful, yet as important, 

as planning for its end. 

Today, there are many things clamoring for our time 

and attention. Estate planning is not always a top priority. 

However, those who do such planning save their 

heirs much anguish, frustration, and often a great deal of 

money. Whether you are single, married, with or without 

children, a veteran or not, everyone should have an 

estate plan. 

While the issues confronting each person vary due to 

their unique situation, it is important you realize that as 

your life changes, your estate plan needs to change too. 

Maybe you are a married couple with children under the 

age of 18. Your major assets consist of a home, life insurance 

policy and two cars. A will is a legal instrument 

that allows a person to dispose of his property at his 

death. In addition to providing for your surviving spouse, 

a will may recommend guardians for minor children and 

set up trusts for them in case of the simultaneous deaths 

of both parents. But what if your will was written 10 

years ago when you lived in New York? Have your children 

grown and married since your last will was written? 

Gun Rights and Regulation can coexist 

A 

s a retired Sergeant with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol and 

a Marine Corps veteran, along with being a member of the American 

Legion and the NRA, I am a fi rm supporter of the Second Amendment. I 

believe all law-abiding citizens have the right to bear arms and own a 

gun. I do believe in thorough background checks but I also feel each case 

should be reviewed on an individual basis. A non-violent offense that 

occurred 20-30 years earlier should not keep an individual from owning a 

gun. On the other hand, it is the responsibility of the Sheriff to protect the 

public and prevent a violent criminal or mentally unstable person from legally 

purchasing a gun. I also support some type of profi ciency and safety 

training for the operation and handling of fi rearms, much like what is taught 

in Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) classes. The North Carolina Wildlife 

Commission makes an individual take a hunter safety course before they 

can acquire a hunting license so why not make an individual take a class 

before obtaining a gun permit. Now, if an individual has completed either 

a CCW class or a hunter safety course that would meet the requirement. I 

am all for gun ownership and protecting the Second Amendment but I am 

also concerned about the safety of those who purchase a gun and those 

around them. I believe by conducting thorough background checks, along 

with some required training, will promote responsible gun ownership and 

reduce the chances of a gun being legally purchased by an individual who 

is mentally unstable or has violent tendencies. If I am elected Perquimans 

County Sheriff, I will support gun ownership while promoting gun safety 

and the legal purchase of fi rearms. I want the citizens of Perquimans 

County to have the ability to protect their families and homes. 

Has your spouse recently died? Are you considering 

a second marriage? A single or widowed person has 

different estate planning goals then he or she did just a 

few years ago. Perhaps you want to give gifts to your 

grandchildren, charities, or plan for the management of 

your assets should you become disabled or incapacitated. 

Estate planning goals for you may utilize a will and/ 

or revocable trust. 

Planning to distribute your assets doesn’t have to be a 

complicated and confusing ritual. It is much more confusing 

for the parties who remain when you do not take 

care of these things in your lifetime. 

Would you ever allow the State of North Carolina to 

dictate what gift you had to give people for their birthday 

or Christmas? If not, why would you allow the State 

of North Carolina to distribute your assets if you were 

suddenly taken from this Earth? Do you really want a 

judge to settle a dispute between embattled in-laws as to 

who will raise your children should there be a common 

disaster? 

This Memorial Day, honor our veterans and honor your 

family. Give your family the gift of an estate plan.

estate plan, visit my website at www.stellaknightlaw.com.

Come Hungry and Meet the New Chef at Albemarle Plantation Clubhouse Restaurant 

Whether it’s a family wedding, business gathering, 

or casual lunch with friends, the versatile 

dining options prepared by chef Jon Szarke will fi t 

the occasion and satisfy your palette. 

Former chef and proprietor at Patricia’s Grille in 

Hertford, Szarke moved to the Albemarle area from 

Connecticut in 2014, deciding it was “time for a 

change.” Known for his restaurant’s intimate atmosphere 

and “casual Southern dining with a twist,” 

Szarke fondly remembers this past Valentine’s Day. 

While treating patrons to exclusive cuisine during 

one of his fullest seasons, Jon and his wife Erica 

became parents to their newborn son, Lawson 

Patrick. 

Patrons may remember Lawson coming to say 

hello and visit Mom and Dad at the restaurant. 

Owning a restaurant created a unique opportunity 

for Jon to involve his family. He is grateful to loyal 

patrons who’ve supported him over his past three 

and a half years in business. 

Guests at Albemarle Plantation Clubhouse can 

now enjoy one of Szarke’s signature dishes- scallop 

risotto. This includes fresh Outer Banks scallops 

caramelized and roasted Italian-style, topped with 

Parmesan cheese and baby spinach. 

In addition, you won’t want to miss his sous vide 

You’ll Know It When You See It

T 

he chances of seeing it just went up dramatically. 

Janet Ainge has collected time in a bottle (so to 

speak) in her business at 201 Main St. in South Mills, 

and the four buildings on the property. As I rummaged 

through the thousands of collectibles, I was taken back 

to days of future passed. Childhood memories rushed 

to me at the sight of the 5 cent Coke bottle. The Topps 

baseball cards took me to my Little League days in the 

1950’s. I had forgotten all about the hurricane lamps 

on the living room mantle. They lighted our house for 

days after Hazel struck the Virginia and North Carolina 

coast. What most amazed me about Janet’s Crafts and 

Flowers Flea Market was the sheer volume of nostalgic 

items from porcelain dolls to antique jewelry. Barbie, 

Disney, Cabbage Patch, Elvis, Harley Davidson , 

Michael Jordan, and John Deere were all there to greet 

me. Mother played the piano; mostly on Saturday night 

when my cousins, aunts, and uncles would visit. 

Janet has the old sheet music for the Wurlitzer mama 

played. I chose to wander on my own at fi rst. Both 

men’s and women’s clothes were hanging and piled on 

tables. Crocheted Afghans and quilts of many colors 

fi lled more tables. The collection of different NFL jerseys, 

and biker shirts, and NASCAR ball caps caught 

my interest. Then I saw the most beautiful fi gurines. A 

style dishes, which use a hot water bath to immerse 

food and cook it precisely. For one popular dish, 

Chef Jon layers barbecued pork over a fl at chicken 

breast, wrapping the meats together in slices of 

bacon. 

Whether you’re a fan of Southern, Italian, or seafood 

meals- or just want to grab a familiar burger 

or chicken quesadilla, the Clubhouse restaurant is 

open to the public for lunch and dinner on Thursday, 

Friday, and Sunday. 

The newly renovated space, with waterfront dining 

overlooking the Albemarle Sound, can be reserved 

for lunch n’ learn business gatherings, working 

lunches, or wedding rehearsal dinners and receptions. 

“I am honored to have two of the best (food and 

beverage manager Frankie Eason and Executive 

Chef Jon Szarke) giving our guests the fi nest dining 

experience,” said Albemarle Plantation general 

manager Buddy Lawrence. 

“It’s their labor of love.” 

To learn more about custom options bringing variety 

and refreshment to your important day, contact 

Frankie Eason at 252 426 2252 or stop by to experience 

Chef Jon’s cuisine in person. 

Native American Chief , on the shelf, right beside a China 

Doll. Time to call-over Janet…I had questions. She 

explained that so many people have so many different 

travel experiences, and their family heritage is so varied 

that anyone is liable to fi nd something they feel is close 

to them. So true. Her collection of knives is varied 

and always functional. I found one from my Cub Scout 

days. For the music lover, there are CD’s galore, VHS 

and DVD movies along with Video and X-Box games 

to choose from. I do not particularly think someone is 

eccentric because they collect unique stuff. But I used 

to think I was a pack rat…never throw anything away, 

because when you do you need it about a week later. 

Well, Janet is not the ultimate pack rat, she is just someone 

who realized that there is value in memories, and 

some old things still serve a purpose. Janet also creates 

silk fl ower arrangements for all occasions. Share 

the time together with your family and visit this most 

remarkable collage and tapestry of antique and useable 

personal and household wares. That cast iron skillet 

can sure cook a tasty fried chicken. Phone 252/771-

bridge in South Mills.

“The Fathers went out into the desert, not to flee the world, 

but to confront themselves.” 

Generally considered the father of Christian monasticism, 

Anthony the Great was born the son of peasant farmers 

in central Egypt c. A.D. 251. In about his twentieth year 

Anthony heard read in church the Gospel “Go, sell all that you 

have and give to the poor, and come follow me.” Applying the 

passage to himself, he departed into the desert and devoted 

himself to a life of asceticism. In the course of time Anthony’s 

reputation attracted followers and c. 385 he came out of his 

solitude to act as their spiritual father. Five years later he 

again retired into solitude. 

The Apothegmata Patrum (The Sayings of the Desert 

Fathers), much read and venerated among the Orthodox 

peoples, is a collection of words collected by disciples of 

Anthony and of holy men and women of the ancient Desert 

who followed in his way; these have been passed down 

through the centuries. The unfl inching honesty and obedience 

to the word and spirit of the Gospel from which these 

ancient sayings spring may be diffi cult for the modern reader 

to assimilate. There is no attempt at discursive exposition in 

the Sayings; the monks were mostly simple, unlettered men. 

Their words were practical, given succinctly to a particular 

monk or a small group in a particular situation; they are 

not general principles to be applied indiscriminately. They 

proceed from lives of radical simplicity and common sense: in 

the words of Mother Benedicta Ward, translator of a popular 

selection of the Sayings, “The essence of the spirituality of the 

desert is that it was not taught but caught; it was a whole way 

of life. It was not an esoteric doctrine…. They did not have a 

systematic way; they had the hard work and experience of a 

lifetime of striving to re-direct every aspect of body, mind, and 

soul to God.” 

And in the words of Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh: 

Modern man seeks mainly for ‘experience—putting himself 

at the center of things he wishes to make them subservient 

to this aim…, even God becomes the source from which the 

highest experience fl ows, instead of being Him Whom we 

adore, worship, and are prepared to serve, whatever the cost 

to us. Such an attitude was unknown to the Desert; moreover, 

the desert repudiated it as sacrilegious… 

“These were men and women who had reached a humility 

of which we have no idea…. They were ascetics, ruthless to 

themselves, yet so human, so immensely compassionate not 

only to the needs of men but also to their frailty and their sins; 

men and women wrapped in a depth of inner silence of which 

we have no idea and who taught by ‘Being’, not by speech: ‘If 

a man cannot understand my silence, he will never understand 

my words.’ ”

3-Day Biggs Classic Golf Tournament Offers Uncommon Platform for Emerging Golfers by Laura Bush Jenkins 

Chasing the lifelong dream to golf on the PGA tour is not 

for the faint of heart. 

For striving players in their twenties and thirties hitting the 

road each week, the Biggs Classic Tournament is an opportunity 

to score out of, at least temporarily, the developmental 

ranks and into a competitive level below the PGA known as 

the Web.com Tour. 

Some are college golf stars, others left school to go pro, 

and some support a young family while touring. Either way, 

these emerging golfers make sacrifi ces. Living out of a car, 

eating simple sandwiches, or selling musical instruments 

and sentimental items of value are often part of golfers’ journeys 

to reach the prestige levels. 

As golfers across the United States and several countries 

converge at Albemarle Plantation May 24-26 , they compete 

for one of the largest purses on the mini tour circuit. 

Unlike other tournaments, the Biggs Classic guarantees 

that 100% of entry fees will be used as the purse for winning 

players. The Plantation is able to do this because it will not 

incur administrative expenses. 

Albemarle Plantation,is among 100 volunteers assisting on 

course, helping the event run smoothly. 

“What makes this unique in all of professional golf is the 

adoption of players by residents who house and feed the 

young men and provide them with all the comforts of home 

during their stay,” says Milot. 

Residents Walt and Rosemary Smith remember spotting 

three young golfers at an Edenton motel and personally 

inviting them to an enjoyable time on the Plantation when 

they didn’t expect it. 

Tom Loughlin, tournament chair, hosted four young men 

who played competitively at Middle Tennessee State University 

and returned to the course for subsequent tournaments. 

They raved about the uniqueness of the Sound Golf Links 

and how you could not just “bomb” the ball as you can on 

most of the courses they play. When three of them got 

married, Tom was humbled to receive invitations to each of 

their weddings. 

“You build a bond with these kids that lasts forever,” Loughlin 

states. 

attend East Carolina University. 

In addition, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Albemarle, 

receive support to continue their growing after-school and 

summer programs. The Edenton location now operates at 

full capacity- serving 85 students per day- while the Elizabeth 

City program tripled attendance since last year- serving 

over 125 students per day. 

Ranked among Golf Digest’s 2010 Best Places to Play, 

The Sound Golf Links at Albemarle Plantation continues its 

fi fth year offering meaningful community contributions and 

signifi cant purses to players through support from individual 

sponsors and corporate sponsors Biggs Cadillac, Swimme 

& Sons, FedEx, Albemarle Bank & Trust, Colony Tire, Vidant 

Chowan Hospital, and PNC Bank. 

Special thanks also goes out to presenting partner GPro

The public is welcome to come out and watch these talented 

young golfers. Admission is free. For further information,

The Biggs Classic - A Family Affair by Claude Milot 

How many golf tournaments can truly be said to be a 

family affair? I know of only one: the Biggs Classic, 

now in its fi fth year, to be played at Albemarle Plantation’s 

Sound Golf Links starting May 24th. I should know: 

I’m part of the family. 

Five years ago, Kenny Saunders, our resident pro, had 

a dream of hosting a professional golf tournament on our 

wonderfully strategic Dan Maples-designed golf course 

bordering the Albemarle Sound and wending its way 

around and over the many marshes that defi ne its character. 

But he couldn’t do it alone. He needed help, and 

more important, the willingness of the members to give 

up their course for a week. He also needed sponsors 

to help cover the cost of running a tournament. And he 

needed players to come to a course they probably had 

never heard of. Somehow, Saunders put it all together. 

By March 2014, with the help of the NGA Pro Golf Tour, 

plans for the Albemarle Plantation NGA Classic were in 

full swing. Quite frankly, we didn’t know what we were 

getting into, but we were determined to make it work. 

Fortunately, two things happened that would insure the 

success of the tournament: volunteers and sponsors. 

Over 100 volunteers, all residents of Albemarle Plantation, 

offered to serve on a number of committees: 

publicity, photography, signs and banners, restaurants, 

refreshment carts, shuttle services, parking, and, on the 

golf course itself, as starters, spotters, and scorers. But 

two other committees proved to be the key to success 

and to the creation of something truly special. 

Why Footprints? We offer an affordable and unique adult rehabilitation 

program like no other. We are a small, inpatient 

drug and alcohol rehabilitation center limited to 8 clients at a time. 

Our program prides itself in our commitment to each individual. 

We offer a private, serene and individualized program with a hint 

of southern charm. Our homelike setting is located in the beautiful 

coastal community of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We provide 

a structured, nurturing and therapeutic environment based on 

the 12 steps of recovery. At Footprints, we believe that everyday 

life skills including time management, setting goals, dreams and 

ambitions are very important to successful long-term recovery. 

Recovery is a process of learning through knowledge and healing. 

Are you ready to take the fi rst step towards celebrating life journey 

today? Our comfortable and quiet residential housing is much like 

home. We have created a living space which encourages independent 

living skills. 

Headed by Tom Loughlin and Walt Smith, the Sponsorship 

Committee persuaded a number of local enterprises 

to become tournament sponsors. The biggest one turned 

out to be an automobile dealership in Elizabeth City, and 

in return for its generosity, the tournament was immediately 

renamed the Biggs Cadillac-Buick-GMC Classic, 

now known simply as the Biggs Classic. 

Then came an idea that makes this week-long event 

unique among golf tournaments. Albemarle Plantation 

residents decided to open their doors and house the 

players who would otherwise have to expend precious 

funds to pay for motel rooms, or, as sometimes happened, 

to sleep in their cars. My wife and I were among 

the volunteer hosts, and we can attest to the gratitude— 

and surprise—of these young players who found themselves 

warmly received by Albemarle Plantation families. 

The young pros also became part of the community 

in other ways. Some were taken for boat rides on the 

Albemarle Sound, others had a fi shing contest, and still 

others played a little tennis or relaxed by the pool. As 

they discovered, The Biggs Classic isn’t all about golf— 

it’s a family affair.

to dry on a plastic clothesline with a plastic clip away from direct 

sunlight. If the photograph is stuck to the glass in the frame, leave 

in the frame and dry glass-side down. 

Lay fl at wet books and interleave pages with absorbent material, 

replacing when damp. Paper documents can air dry fl at or in small 

piles, being careful not to separate or unfold the wet sheets. For 

wet textiles, do not unfold or stack. Rinse with clean water and 

then blot using clean cotton sheets or towels. Try to shape each 

back into their original form. Air dry away from direct sunlight 

using fans. 

Wooden furniture can be sponged gently with clean water and 

slowly air dried. Veneer may hold in place with covered clamps. 

Upholstered furniture should be rinsed and all pieces separated 

and wrapped individually in sheets or towels to air dry slowly. 

Replace absorbent material when damp. Baskets can be rinsed, 

blotted to removed excess water, then padded with paper towels 

or cotton sheets to assist in maintaining the shape. Cover with 

towels and slowly air dry.

YMCA AT THE PINES WINNING TRIO: 

GOLF- POOL- EVENTS 

T 

he YMCA at the Pines Golf Course is a hidden gem that is now getting 

some much deserved spotlight. The YMCA’s newest facility is home to 

an 18-hole golf course, beautifully appointed clubhouse and a saltwater pool. 

This beautiful course sits serenely amongst pine tree thickets that lend itself 

to a quiet and serene experience. Small elevated greens, wide fairways 

and large chipping areas are the hallmark of this award winning course that 

appeals to all levels of golfers. In addition, the YMCA at the Pines is home to 

the ever popular Coastland Invitational in June. 

Membership at the YMCA at the Pines is proving to be the coveted membership 

of the year. With so many individuals interested in golf, several golf 

programs are currently being developed to appeal from beginners all the way 

to experienced golfers. 

The main clubhouse has always been a local favorite and will continue to 

uphold their high level of service. The Bistro is open to the public and serves 

lunch daily along with breakfast Friday through Sunday and is a special treat 

for families. 

The Ballroom has been the host of many special engagements and celebrations. 

Whether your event is small and intimate or large and festive we know 

that we can help you make those moments memorable. We have been honored 

to host several different events such as the NC State Alumni, Elizabeth 

City’s Chamber of Commerce Women of Excellence Awards, and the Eastern 

North Carolina Book Club. 

Ag Grant Sought for Region 

by: C.L. Cooke 

T 

he Golden Leaf Foundation has begun the 

cycle where applicants in the Northeast Prosperity 

Zone can apply for grants funded from the 

Master Settlement Agreement. Also known as the 

Tobacco Settlement Agreement, funds can be used 

for programs that encourage purchase of NC products 

and prove sustainability of family farms. 

C.L. Cooke of Elizabeth City has begun the 

process to coordinate interest in seeking a $1.5 

M grant to meet the required criteria for interested 

farmers in the 17 county Northeast Prosperity 

Zone. Camden County Manager, Ken Bowman, 

gave Cooke the go ahead to seek support from 

other county managers willing to become part of 

the process. This step was necessary as all participating 

county managers would sign off on the 

Community Based Grant Initiative proposal upon 

completion. 

The process underway is to identify interested 

farmers, agriculture consultants, cooperative extension, 

(FFA) Future Farmers of America at the local 

High Schools, and those with expertise in the most 

modern practices for sustainable farming methods. 

Identifying the best crops based on soil type 

and climate will be a contributing factor along with 

current and projected market demand. Of great interest 

is organic farming products and methodology 

as well as the hot house for seedling germination. 

If possible, at least one farmer from each of the 17 

counties in the Northeast Prosperity might participate. 

Thought not a requirement, we hope to 

include all who are interested and willing. A list of 

the 17 counties are as follows: Beaufort, Bertie, 

Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Halifax, 

Hertford, Hyde, Martin, Northampton, Pasquotank, 

Perquimans, Pitt, Washington, and Tyrrell. 

Any and all interested parties are asked to contact 

Mr. Cooke at larryc609@gmail.com.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures 

by Jake Worthington 

It is the month of May and hopefully I am 

on the water fi shing for Cobia. I was barely 

a teenager when I caught my fi rst Cobia, and 

from that moment my love for fishing for this 

majestic fi sh only sparked my my desire to 

catch more. I had great mentors who taught 

me a lot along the way. Captains Devin Cage 

and Rick Caton are considered elite Cobia 

Captains on the OBX and they gave me tips 

that allowed me to be a successful sight casting 

Cobia fi sherman. 

The fi rst thing you will need to do to be a 

successful Cobia fi sherman is to pick the 

correct pair of sunglasses that will allow you 

to first spot the Cobia when they are free 

swimming. A lot of Cobia when swimming are 

not always on the top of the water but they 

may be deep in the water. The selection of 

the proper eyewear is imperative if you wish 

to see the Cobia in the water. Your eyesight 

will determine what color and what fi nish you 

will need to block out the UV rays and allow 

the polarized lens to give you a clear and 

deep fi eld of vision. I am nearsighted, so I 

had to fi nd a sunglass manufacturer that also 

did prescription lenses. I tried a couple pairs 

of prescription sunglasses from some of the 

popular makers until I fi nally found the ones 

that worked like I wanted. 

Salt Life Optics are now the prescription 

sunglasses that I have used for the past four 

years. They have many lens colors and fi nishes 

that come in both regular and prescription 

choices. The lenses Salt Life Optics use are 

Zeiss lenses. If you know anything about 

high end rifl e scopes, spotting scopes, and 

binoculars you know that Zeiss lenses are 

high quality and considered the gold standard 

in the optics fi eld. I will issue a disclaimer that 

I am on their Pro-Staff but if these glasses 

were not the best I would not be using them 

or promoting them. The Salt Life sunglasses 

give me high water clarity that eliminates glare 

and allows me to see fi sh swimming deep in 

the water. These glasses give me a distinct 

advantage when I am up in the tower scouting 

for fish. 

Another tip I will share with you is the selection 

of a Cobia jig. During the season Cobia 

are casted at with a whole host of baits. Some 

days they are pelted at so much that they 

are very picky in what they will strike at. I use 

Bowed Up Jigs and because they are made 

here locally on the OBX, I am keeping the 

money here at home. Billy Gorham, the owner 

of Bowed Up, can create any type of jig you 

will require in the way of styles, color, and a 

choice of fi nishing touches that will attract the 

attention of the Cobia and have it swimming 

hard to hit the jig and get you hooked up and 

then Bowed Up! Check the websites for both 

companies for more information on each of 

these important Cobia catching tools!

Commission strives to work with our member governments to enhance the 

quality of life for the citizens and businesses within our ten-county region of Camden, 

Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hyde, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Tyrrell, and Washington. 

Chief among today’s concerns is access to affordable, reliable broadband Internet to 

enable increased economic development, entrepreneurship, educational and 

telemedicine opportunities in our region. 

To that end, the Albemarle Commission is running a CrowdFiber campaign to get your 

feedback on the services available to our citizens and businesses, whether they are 

adequate, and what your needs are. Armed with your responses, we hope to 

entice providers into our region to offer additional Internet services, especially in our 

rural areas. 

Demand assessment and aggregation is critical for enticing broadband providers to 

invest in additional services for our area, so we need to hear from you today! The survey 

is running for a limited time and will only take about five minutes to complete. 

Don’t wait! Please make your voices heard! 

accog.crowdfiber.com 

If you don’t have a place to take the survey online, we still want your feedback! Homes without broadband 

service are important addresses to capture. If in can only complete the survey in hardcopy, please do so 

on the back of this flyer and return the survey to the location from which you picked it up.

T 

he Currituck Education Foundation awarded 

4 mini grants of up to $250 for projects in 

the Currituck County Schools. The grants were 

awarded to Maria Del Acqua, Child Nutrition 

Manager at Jarivsburg Elementary, for a Point 

of Sale register laser barcode scanner. This will 

allow meal lines to move faster and give children 

more time to eat their meals. Brittney Barefi eld, 

of Shawboro Elementary, received a grant to 

purchase a reading intervention program called 

Sound Partners. Diane Davenport, of JP Knapp 

Early College, received a grant to help with the 

cost of the AMORE Conference. This helped with 

the cost of fabric for sewing lessons during the 

conference. Helen Taylor, of Jarvisburg Elementary, 

received a grant to purchase Ozobots, which 

are small robots that engage students with computer 

programming. Sandy Reynolds, of Shawboro 

Elementary, was matched with the Currituck 

Extension Center as a community partner who 

was able to provide 3D Snap Circuits to meet her 

project goals in the form of curriculum support 

and equipment loans. Carly Osmon, of Jarvisburg 

Elementary, was also matched with the Currituck 

Extension Center as a community partner who 

was able to provide resources to meet her project 

goals on life cycles. 

These are the fi rst grants the newly formed

An Eagle’s Journey Home 

One of the things visitors to the Frisco Native American 

Museum & Natural History Center often note is that everywhere 

you look, there is something special to see. Each 

item has a story, and a donation made to the museum by 

Bear and Debby Plummer some years ago is no exception.

The Plummers, who live in Ohio, have supported the museum 

for more than twenty years with generous donations 

of time and exhibit items. One of their amazing gifts is an 

eagle carved from an ancient American Chestnut tree which 

had been submerged in a river in Chattanooga, TN, for more 

than two hundred years when it was discovered. Carver David 

Buckley found the log and realized he had an important 

piece of history. He kept it in his back yard for more than 

two years, not sure how to best use it. 

Our donor smiles as he recalls how the eagle came to 

be. “Buckley was sitting on his steps one day considering 

the log” Bear said. “Out of nowhere, as if speaking to him, 

he saw a majestic eagle in the wood. Buckley immediately 

started carving. When he was fi nally done, he examined his 

work and said it looked exactly like the vision of the eagle he 

had seen that day.” 

Fortunately for the museum, Bear also had a vision. He 

could see the eagle, with it’s carved wings spanning more 

than six feet, making its fi nal journey to a new home. He 

and his wife donated the beautiful carving to the museum 

where it now graces an archway. 

The museum, which is located on Hatteras 

Island, is open Tuesday through Sunday. For

the awesome art stations children will get to experience 

at this year’s Artrageous,” said Dare County Arts Council 

Board Member and Artrageous Event Chair Jessica

station!” 

The day will be complimented with 20 local artists selling

DISMAL SWAMP CANAL WELCOME CENTER NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL REST STOPS 

The Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center and Rest Area 

in Camden County, N.C. was recently recognized by two 

national publications as one of the most beautiful and unique 

rest stops in America. In February 2018, USA Today listed 

the Dismal Swamp Welcome Center as a favorite Rest Stop 

in the nation due to the excellent condition of facilities and 

amenities offered. The article states, “It’s a unique place… 

also accessible by boat and has its own welcoming dock.” 

The Welcome Center was also mentioned in a recent Architectural 

Digest article titled “The 15 Most Beautiful Rest 

Stops in America”. Beautiful scenery provides the perfect 

location for “motorists to pull over and enjoy a stroll along a 

nature trail” or paddle the historic Dismal Swamp Canal. 

The Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center provides assistance 

and information to both highway and waterway travelers 

for North Carolina’s historic sites, attractions, special 

events and travel conditions. This tourism offi ce is operated 

by the North Carolina Department of Transportation and 

managed by Camden County. 

Located on the historic Dismal Swamp Canal, the Welcome 

Center features a facedock for recreational boats traveling 

through this 22 mile long waterway. The Canal is also an 

alternate route on the Intracoastal Waterway and managed 

by the Norfolk District Army Corps of Engineers. The Dismal 

Swamp Canal Trail, managed by Camden County Parks and 

Recreation, and the Dismal Swamp State Park are adjacent 

to the center. 

Anyone who considers protocol unimportant 

has never dealt with a cat.

Lighten Up With A Refreshing Salad 


By Rosie Hawthorne 


Read More at: 


With the weather lightening up, I tend to lighten up my meals 

as well, turning to the ever-versatile salad. Today, I’m making 

a celery salad that offers sweet, sour, heat, crunch, bitter, and 

salty all in one bite. It’s a side dish that shines. 

This salad calls for an extra virgin olive oil. Since there are 

so many different olive oils out there, both extra virgin and the 

naughtier ones, I suggest you taste test oils before deciding on 

one. I like to pick out my oils at Outer Banks Olive Oil Company 

because they have a huge selection and I’m able to try the oils 

before I buy. For this dish, a nice fruity olive oil works well, or you 

might like one of the citrus infused oils. 

For more recipes, tours of my garden, and the 

occasional travelogue, please visit with Rosie at

“Second Sale” Brings Win-Win Bargains and High Quality to Area Home Furniture Market 

When former antique dealer and home 

builder Bob Burns came out of retirement 

to open a furniture store on South Battlefi 

eld Blvd. in Great Bridge, more than 150 

loyal customers from prior seasons sought 

him out on opening weekend. 

“People were so happy to see him,” recalls 

Burns’ wife, Martha. “We were honored people 

came looking for Bob [even though] many 

weren’t familiar with the area.” 

Since its grand opening, 2-3 truckloads of 

quality used furniture fl ows into the store 

weekly. Second Sale buys used items from 

transitioning estates and sells them to middle-class 

young couples (as well as those 

over 40) craving the trending, mid-century 

modern look and good wood furniture 

Buyers come from Moyock, Currituck, and 

Elizabeth City, as well as Chesapeake, looking 

for American-made furniture which can be 

passed down instead of quickly thrown away 

with little use. 

In an industry where it’s typical for new items 

to have an 800% markup, the Burnses do not 

infl ate prices. Instead, they enable customers 

to bargain based on their budget. 

“We buy a deal, and we sell a deal” is their 

motto. 

Martha and Bob help buyers obtain what they 

want as well as sell something from their own 

home they may not have space or attention 

for. It isn’t unusual for their merchandise to 

sell within a day or buyers to make successful 

offers right as furniture is unloaded from their 

truck. 

“People are used to seeing huge ads for furniture 

sales and are often not sure about the 

quality,” says Martha. “When Bob asks ‘What 

do you want to pay?’, it’s disarming.” 

“Bob makes people feel comfortable, and he’s 

always been a giver.” 

Open 10-6 Tuesday through Saturday, Bob 

is almost always in on Saturdays. Mondays 

from 12-5, you’ll fi nd Bob and Martha’s daughter, 

Rachel, there. Like her mom, Rachel 

enjoys staging and brings a fresh, new look to 

the store each week. Her home is eclectically 

designed with furniture pieces from the family 

business. 

Every day in our fast-paced world, Martha, 

Bob & Rachel connect people to a sustainable, 

debt-free way of shopping and furnishing 

that makes their homes look good. 

If you would like to email or text a photo of 

your furniture for Second Sale to consider 

buying, contact 757 802 2061 or sscssel@ 

gmail.com. You can also stop in for a visit 

at 800 South Battlefi eld Blvd, Ste 108-109, 

Chesapeake, VA 23322. The store is next to 

Newman’s Pharmacy and 619 Cantina. 


MINIMALIST OR TO THE MAX 

A little bit of everything, a little something for everyone.

Smithfield Girl Scout Earns Gold Award 

Krysta Rutherford has earned the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor and achievement a girl can earn in Girl Scouting. Krysta 

is a junior at Hampton Roads Academy. An avid horse lover, Krysta chose to focus her Gold Award project, “The Forgotten Horses,” 

on documenting and showing the benefi ts of a critically endangered breed of horse: Colonial Spanish Mustang. She addressed the 

issue with people of all ages in an engaging video. The fi lm also displayed the history and heritage of the animal. 

The fi lm has reached thousands of people through event showings, articles, presentations and other postings. The project continues 

to be sustained with the help of several organizations in a number of ways, including links to the fi lm on their website. As a result of her 

project, a number of individuals have asked how they can help the cause. Krysta has even received an email from someone in France

Ostrich Ferns 

The ostrich fern, found in some areas of North Carolina 

but primarily in more northern climes, gets its 

name from Greek words meaning ostrich wings. The 

immature fronds are fi rst displayed in early spring and 

look like a shepherd’s hooked staff, but the mature 

fronds appear to resemble the draped plumage of this 

large fl ightless bird. The plants appear above ground 

in advance of many other plants and, as such, have 

been used as some of the fi rst greens of the growing 

season. 

The young curled frond tip or “fi ddlehead” is the most 

coveted part of the ostrich fern. Native Americans 

have long used the ostrich fern fi ddleheads to supplement 

their diets. Not just the ostrich fern but other 

edible fern varieties enjoy popularity across the globe. 

Ostrich fern fronds are low in calories but have high 

amounts of Vitamin A and signifi cant amounts of 

Vitamin C. They are high in potassium, in sodium and 

have zero cholesterol or fat. 

There are many ferns that contain toxins but science 

has yet to identify any such components in ostrich 

ferns. Positive species identifi cation is important 

when consuming any foraged foods. It is strongly 

recommended that fi ddleheads should never be eaten 

raw. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) identifi 

ed a food-borne illness that is linked to uncooked 

fi ddleheads. The typical cooking methods are boiling 

or steaming for approximately fi fteen minutes. The 

cooked product tastes like mild asparagus.

Northeast North Carolina Family History – the death of obituaries… 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

With the recent struggles newspapers have had to bring in income, obituaries have 

become something that needs to be paid for if anything other than basic details are 

to be printed. We are accustomed to certain information being part of an obituary: name 

and age of the person who has died as well as birth and death place, names of parents 

usually including the mother’s maiden name, names of other close family members – 

sometimes including where they currently live and sometimes extended family members. 

Some kind of description of the individual’s life and affi liations is also expected. 

When I worked at the library in Elizabeth City, I would get email requests from legal 

practices from all over the country searching for obituaries. They would use them to 

locate other family members. On occasion, if there was no local family, there would be 

no obituary printed in the newspaper, or the microfilm for the day they requested would 

be missing which made everyone less than happy. With the costs of obituaries today, 

many obits have only basic info and no family connections listed which is truly sad for 

future researchers. 

This example from a Raleigh paper gives you some idea of an 1836 death notice. I have 

copied it from a genweb page for Currituck County. (www.ncgenweb.us/currituck/obits/obits. 

html) If you are not familiar with using the control key and pressing “F” may I recommend it 

in searching web pages for names. A box will appear on your computer page allowing you 

to type in what you are looking for. Many localities will have similar pages and you may fi nd 

gems you didn’t know existed. Notice on the above notice that the death is on the 1st inst. 

which is a shortened version of instant referring to the current month. You may see the term 

ult. which is a shortened version of ultimo meaning the previous month. 

But obituaries of the past looked nothing like what we have become used to. As 

with any human endeavor, mistakes were often included. In 1952, when my husband’s 

great-grandfather William Henry Lindsey died in Barco, his only child, Nathan is listed 

as Latham!! When you consider that obituaries as well as death certifi cates contain information 

when family members are generally stressed it is not too surprising errors are 

made. I have heard individuals state that most of the information on a family member’s 

death certifi cate is wrong because the person giving it couldn’t remember. In 1972 when 

Caleb Nicholson Walker died, his obituary gives his mother Flaura’s name as Falura. 

More than one family history contains errors from census records and other misspellings. 

The April 1919 obituary of W. H. Walker is like many of its time period with the 

statement, “He is survived by a widow, a sister, a brother and six sons…” and gives the 

names and whereabouts of the sons but not the widow, sister or brother. Many times 

the children were noted only by the number and not by name. Older obituaries from the 

1800’s were even briefer and not listed as an obituary – only a line or two that could be 

located anywhere in the paper. 

I’ve mentioned this source in the past, The Biblical Recorder, the newspaper of the Baptist 

Church for North Carolina which is now available online to search from 1833 to 1970. (https:// 

brnow.org/Resources/Biblical-Recorder-1833-1970). There is a site, Legacy.com that seems 

to have a number of obituaries from around the country and more seem to be coming online. I 

suggest taking the time to search them. As North Carolina did not require deaths to start being 

recorded until about 1912, you may fi nd relatives, especially children that died when no other 

information is available about them. Good luck.

Strategies For Your Investment “Garden” 

If you’re a gardener, your busy season is at hand, as April has been 

designated National Garden Month. But could the skills you deploy at 

gardening be transferred to other areas of your life – such as investing? 

Here are a few ideas for doing just that: 

Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe 

the demonstrated ability to produce products and services attractive to 

consumers. Or, when considering bonds, consider those that independent 

rating agencies have awarded the highest grades, in terms of the fi nancial 

strength of the issuer. 

• Establish a timeline. 

As a gardener, you typically follow a well-defi ned timeline. You need to 

get the soil ready a few months before you want to plant, and you need to 

plant at different times, depending on what plants you choose. You even 

need to set up a schedule for watering, feeding, weeding and other 

garden care. As an investor, you may also need to observe a timeline. 

During the early and middle stages of your career, you probably need to 

invest primarily for growth, so you can build resources for a comfortable 

retirement. Then, as you near retirement, you may want to lower your risk 

level by shifting some – though certainly not all – of your investment dollars 

from growth-oriented vehicles into more income-producing ones. And once 

you do retire, your focus will shift to preserving your money, so one of your 

key decisions will center on how much you can afford to withdraw each 

year from your investment portfolio. 

• Choose “healthy” investments. 

Gardeners like to choose plants they know will really last. That’s why 

they look for things such as green leaves, as opposed to brown or yellow 

ones, and thick stems, which usually indicate a plant is strong, healthy 

and capable of surviving a transition from the pot to the ground. And when 

you invest, you, too, should look for signs of health in the investments you 

choose. For example, when picking stocks, look for companies with solid 

fundamentals, such as experienced management, strong earnings and

• Feed your investments properly. 

Things like fertilizer and plant food can be valuable, but the most important 

element in plant nutrition is water. Under-watered plants will not survive, 

but overwatering your plants can certainly damage them severely. When 

you invest, you also need to know the right amount of “food,” or “nutrients,” 

to apply. If you don’t put enough money into investments, they may not 

grow as much as you’d like. On the other hand, it is possible to “overwater” 

certain investments. For example, if you constantly put money into just one 

or two investments, they could end up crowding out others in your portfolio, 

causing you to lose the value of diversifi cation. And if these particular 

investments are already growth-oriented vehicles, highly subject to market 

risk, they could take a big hit during a market downturn. Ultimately, seek a 

balance in how you distribute your investment dollars. 

Year after year, successful gardeners reap the rewards of their labors. And 

following some of their habits can help you work toward a long-lasting and 

fruitful investment garden, too.

National Day of Prayer 

by Pastor Dan Bergey 

This year’s theme for The National Day of Prayer is Unity. 

What does it mean to come together in unity? It means joining 

together as a whole. The past couple of months I have written 

about respecting each other, including their opinions. It’s now 

time to fully represent that respect for each other. On Thursday, 

May 3rd is the National Day of Prayer. This day has a very long 

history going back to the Revolutionary War times. More recently 

in 1952 Congress accepted a challenge from the Reverend Billy 

Graham and made a law declaring a National Day of Prayer, 

this was signed by President Truman. Each year the President 

declared a day of prayer, on the day of his choosing. During 

President Reagan’s first term the National Prayer Committee 

was formed, and in 1988 a set date was amended to the law 

from 1952 declaring that the fi rst Thursday in May would be the 

National Day of Prayer. 

Two stated intentions of the National Day of Prayer were that 

it would be a day when adherents of all great religions could 

unite in prayer and that it may one day bring renewed respect 

for God to all the peoples of the world. How fi tting that this year’s 

theme is Unity. It’s time for us to all set aside our differences, 

respect one another, and join together in Prayer. If your looking 

for a place to participate in a National Day of Prayer Event, fi rst 

check with your church to see if they are doing anything. If not, 

we would love for you to come to our event on May 3rd at 6 PM.

1st Memorial Day 

By Dr. Dave 

Also, FYI remember the origination of Decoration Day as a day to 

be commemorated and devote memory of our fallen compatriots 

of our late struggle for southern independence (now known as Memorial 

Day) was started and created on April 26, 1866 by patriotic southern 

women who placed fl owers on the graves of our martyred dead and 

proposed the 26th day of April, now May 28th as the First Decoration 

Day. 

For more Dr. Dave recipes, a book is 

available by contacting Dr Dave at
