Merry Christmas Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov T he Museum of the Albemarle is currently working on new exhibits themes for 2019. We are excited that our main themes for exhibits and programming will revolve around topics such as the Outlander television series, the Harlem Renaissance, Masons, agriculture, farming, historic documents, photographs, and the Vietnam and Gulf wars. Artifacts from Outlander is a traveling exhibit from Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in Maryland featuring artifacts related to the detailed history and setting found in the Outlander book and television series.

Eating healthy, eating safe (BPT) - You try to eat healthy, but the one thing you can’t control is who has been handling your food and whether they are practicing adequate food safety. Each year, foodborne illnesses sicken close to 50 million Americans and lead to more than 130,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. A lot of these illnesses are caused by simple things like restaurant employees’ failure to properly wash hands, cooking surfaces and fruits and vegetables. Foodborne illnesses present a greater challenge to certain groups of people with reduced immunity, such as children younger than age 4 and people older than age 50. Food can also become compromised much earlier in the production process, and for this reason food producers are using a variety of means to keep our food safe. One approach uses the concept of hurdle technology in which a variety of mild steps (hurdles) are used to limit microbial growth at each stage of production. These include combinations of weak acid treatments with gentle heating and reduced humidity, or alternating low heat and chilling treatment. The fresh-bagged salads you see at the grocery store are a good example of this. Vacuum-packed products, prepared under rigorous hygienic conditions and heated at lower temperatures, are another. Other technologies include the addition of antimicrobial agents such as enzymes and other natural compounds that inhibit the growth of bacteria or prevent oxidation. Salt too is a very effective anti-bacterial in food. In fact, it is the oldest known food preserver. Salt is widely used in the production of all cheeses, cured meats and many fish dishes. Salt preservation works by influencing the amount of water that all microorganisms require to survive and grow. The use of salt in controlling water means that the levels of other preservatives or processes can be reduced. This means that microbiological safety can be achieved with reduced heat, acidity and other preservatives. This results in a product of vastly improved taste and nutritional quality because of the improved retention of other nutrients. However, as the federal government pushes companies toward lower salt content there are some concerns that it could affect food safety and increase the amount of preservatives that must be used. Many prefer salt as the more natural choice. Fortunately, food safety is a leading concern of the Food and Drug Administration and its Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, and the newly appointed Deputy Commissioner, Frank Yiannas, who was previously Vice President of Food Safety at Walmart, and Director of Safety and Health at Walt Disney World. Food safety is an ongoing challenge for an enormous and complex food system, and although challenges continually arise, exercising caution and attention in food purchasing, storage and preparation will minimize the risks. Remember to not only eat healthy but to also eat safely. 20 Albemarle Tradewinds January 2019 albemarletradewinds.com
Jake’s Outdoor Adventures Winter is here and with the exception of some Rockfish biting here and there, not much fishing is going on from the piers, surf or boats. However, January is a great time to prepare for the upcoming fishing season. Let’s start with your rod and reels. Now is a great time to strip off that old line and take or mail your reels in for servicing. Some of us are lucky because we have someone local who performs this service. For others, they have to be mailed to shops that specialize in repairs of specific brands or to the factories that offer service on their brands. If you mail them off, make sure you get tracking and insurance for the replacement value of your reel. I prefer sending mine with UPS or FedEx because they have a better insurance guarantee should the reels be lost or stolen. I always call or email and communicate with someone before I send my reel to make sure how long it is going to take, what service they will be doing, and how much it will cost. Email is great but there is nothing better than speaking to the person who will be working on my reel. After you get your reel serviced, take it to a local tackle shop and get it respooled by them. NO – You Don’t Need a Will But you may not like the plan N.C. has made for you 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 Home Visits Available website - http://www.stellaknightlaw.com/ This is also the time to have your rods repaired if you have some issues with them like cracked rod tips, burred guides or any other issues you may have experienced during the season. Some rods have been used so much and have had so much exposure to the sun they may need to be totally refurbished. Now that you have done these three jobs, your equipment is ready to go for next season. Now is the time to do some research also. During the next couple of months there are numerous trade shows that are centered on fishing. Here is a list of some that you can attend to help you become a better angler. Make it a point to attend and talk to other fishermen and learn some new tactics.Take your family and make it a family event. Check the websites for further information.

No, you don’t need a will, but you may not like the plan North Carolina has made for you. A person who dies without a will is said to have died “intestate.” Some assets which you may own have special legal significance and will automatically pass to designated persons at your death regardless of whether you have a will. These assets include joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, tenancy by the entirety property, retirement plan and IRA proceeds, life insurance proceeds, payable on death accounts and property held in trust. To change the person who will inherit these types of assets at your death, you need to change the way you hold title to these assets or the beneficiary you have designated. All other assets, will comprise your “intestate estate” and be distributed according to the State’s statutory will provisions. Most of the time, the terms of the statutory will are NOT the results that my clients would have selected. Your spouse will inherit all your intestate estate only if you do not have any surviving descendants and both of your parents predecease you. If you have any surviving descendants at your death, your spouse will inherit only about one-half to one-third of your intestate estate (depending on how many descendants survive you). Or, if you do not have any surviving descendants, but either of your parents are living, your spouse will inherit only about one-half of your intestate estate. If you have any children or other descendants living at your death, they will share an inheritance of one-third to one-half (depending on the number of descendants To see more of Jakes Outdoor Adventures go to https://www.facebook.com/ jakesoutdooradventuresnc living) of your intestate estate if your spouse is still living at your death. Your parents will not inherit any of your intestate estate if you have any descendants living at your death. If you do not have any descendants living at your death, and your spouse survives you, your parents will take approximately one-half of your intestate estate. Your parents will inherit your entire estate if you have neither a surviving spouse nor surviving descendants. So, take a married couple (no children) and the husband has living parents. The couple builds a home on land given to him by his family. He dies and now his wife owns a one-half (½) interest in the real property. The other one-half (½) is owned by his parents. If you have been living with your significant other for many years without the benefit of marriage, and you die - he or she does not inherit from you, if you don’t have a will. **North Carolina does not recognize common law marriages. ** If the statutory will does not produce the results that you would like, you should prepare your own will – where you select the persons that will inherit from you and the proportions that they will receive. If you don’t have a will, the State of North Carolina will distribute your property at your death pursuant to the current law.
