Bottles and Barrels Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov October 28, 2018 marks the 99th anniversary of the passing of Volstead Act making illegal the sale of drinks with more than one half of one percent of alcohol. Prohibition ended in 1933, but between those years the demand for alcohol had not decreased and illegal liquor became very profitable. In commemoration of this anniversary, we have pulled from sources statements reflecting moonshining across the region. The quotes are taken from North Carolina Moonshine: An Illicit History by Frank Stephenson Jr. and Barbara N. Mulder. A bootlegger in Northampton County tells of a visit from a revenue officer, “One night when they raided my still I turned the tables on them by chaining one of their cars to a tree where the car was backed up to. When they finally left, they tore the rear bumper off the car which made them mad as a bunch of hornets as I can hear them cursing and carrying on about it now.” Bottles and Barrels of Confiscated Whiskey, ca. 1921 Courtesy of the Library of Congress “We create with you in mind" Tina Clancy’s Art and Antique Connection Over 100 Artists on Display “Elizabeth City’s finest custom built furniture" 252-339-3868 Wed. -Sat. 10-5 116 N. Poindexter St. Elizabeth City Artwork Albemarle Tradewinds A Gates County bootlegger describes his moonshine still being continuously raided. “The law they’d bust my mess up a lot of times but it won’t long before I had another one put up. Sometimes I put it right back in the same spot of the one they tore up. They chased up all over Buckland but I managed to stay a step or two ahead of them.” “The day they caught me it was pouring down rain, and I wasn’t paying attention like I should’ve and did not hear them until they were on top of me and one of them stuck a gun up my nose,” reflects a retired Hertford County moonshiner. Be sure and visit MOA during the month of October to see components of a moonshine still displayed in our main gallery.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures Fall on the Outer Banks is a great time to visit, and it is also the annual fall run of the Red Drum. Every fall, fishermen from up and down the East Coast make the trip to the Outer Banks to try their luck at catching and releasing this majestic fish. I caught my first Red Drum on the Avalon FIshing Pier when I was 11 and from that moment on, I was hooked on the pursuit of catching a fish that I knew I had to release. That is right, once a Red Drum grows over 27 inches you must release them back to the ocean. I take a lot of ribbing from people for investing time and money in a fish I cannot even keep!! by Jake Worthington Anyone who has ever been to The Point at Buxton, or seen Drum fishermen lined up on a fishing pier has witnessed a spectacle that looks like organized chaos. This all starts from the first cast until you land the fish. Because the amount of space is minimal whether on the end of a pier or at The Point, you are literally elbow to elbow with other drum fishermen. This choreography of Drum fishermen casting and then other fishermen lifting and lowering rods so that no one gets tangled is a true work of art. When someone gets lucky and hooks a Drum the same amount of dedicated effort is given to ensure the angler is successful in landing their fish, with anglers moving their rods in the same manner so the angler can either beach or pier net the catch. Once the fish is landed, it is unhooked, a quick measurement is taken of the fish and maybe a quick picture, and then the Drum is released back into their ocean home ready to be caught again by some other lucky angler. Catching a Red Drum may be luck to some fishermen but an experienced Drum fisherman will use every advantage, bit of knowledge, experience , and research to improve his catch total for the day. Being new to the sport of fishing is a learning experience enough, but after watching these fishermen in action can be also intimidating. However, don’t let that stop you from joining in. If you want to try to become a successful Drum fisherman just show up, watch, ask questions and learn how and why the process works. One bit of advice I will give you if you want to try this-- do not use braided line of any kind on a Red Drum rig. Doing so will very likely cost someone a fish when it cuts off another angler’s line or when you tangle several people up. If you want to join in the fun, go to a local Dare County tackle shop and have them sell you what you will need. One parting bit of advice-- do not use a sand spike on The Point!!

Caring for an Alzheimer’s Patient Stella Knight Attorney Estate Planning & Elder Law Wills and Trusts Power of Attorney & Living Wills Asset Protection Guardianships for Adults & Children Probate Licensed in North Carolina & Florida 751 Body Rd, Hertford NC 27944 (252)264-3600 By: Stella Knight Home Visits Available website - http://www.stellaknightlaw.com/ You probably know someone who has Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. It is estimated that one in ten people 65 and older has Alzheimer’s dementia. If you are ever asked to be a caregiver or to assist a caregiver, you are going to need some basic legal information to make your caregiving effective. This article will discuss some legal considerations for the Alzheimer’s patient and her family. November has been designated as National Alzheimer’s Month. There will be a statewide vigil in November, to recognize the caregivers – many times the hidden victims. Alzheimer’s is one of the most common forms of dementia. Dementia is used to describe a progressive, degenerative mental disease. The deterioration usually includes loss of memory and related functions, eventually leaving the patient unable to care for herself. The Alzheimer’s patient usually experiences a gradual onset of symptoms. Early warning signs may be: confusion, personality changes, behavior changes, and impaired judgment. If you think a family member or friend may be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease – GET A DIAGNOSIS. We all forget things and many times nutritional deficiencies and depression may cause Alzheimer’s like symptoms. Once you have a diagnosis, the next step is to GET ADVICE. An Alzheimer’s patient’s mental capacity will gradually deteriorate. Eventually the patient will be unable to care for herself. It is important to seek advice early, when the patient can participate in the important decision-making process. Families will need to address financial concerns and legal concerns. 1. Financial Concerns. The family should review the assets and income of the patient; seek investment advice considering the future costs and expenses associated with the illness; and, discuss management of assets during the patient’s lifetime. It is extremely important to include the Alzheimer’s patient in these important decisions and to begin these discussions when the patient is still competent. 2. Legal Concerns. There are some basic legal documents that an Alzheimer’s patient should discuss and execute when she is competent. If the family waits too long before discussing legal planning, many opportunities will be lost. A. Durable Power of Attorney. B. Health Care Power of Attorney. C. Will. D. Revocable Living Trust. As an Alzheimer’s patient, caregiver, or family member, you will suffer from feelings of depression and isolation. It is extremely important to GET HELP. There are many resources available to you – The national and state Alzheimer’s Associations, local Alzheimer’s support groups and books are some of the wonderful resources. Most importantly, don’t neglect yourself.
