Perquimans Chamber<br />
by Colleen Brown<br />
One thing about the Perquimans River (I don’t know<br />
if you’ve noticed): it is always beautiful. Driving<br />
through the county, or down Grubb Street in Hertford<br />
where you can see the historic S-Bridge, any time of<br />
day, any day of the year, in any weather, the river is just<br />
so beautiful. No matter how dreary or gloomy the day<br />
might be, a view of the river is a joyous thing.<br />
I’ve seen it in the summer when the blue of the river is<br />
intoxicating or delicious – almost edible -- and not jumping<br />
in and being part of it seems impossible. All those<br />
bridges and docks and boat ramps and piers throughout<br />
the county seem like open invitations to join the ducks<br />
and the fish and turtles. With a little effort, you can<br />
probably find a cypress knuckle that’s unoccupied to<br />
sun yourself on (or maybe the local turtle residents will<br />
make room for one more).<br />
I’ve seen it on one of the characteristic late autumn<br />
days when the weather suddenly warms after a cold<br />
spell and fog is strolling across the surface of the water.<br />
The rest of the world seems grey and a little damp,<br />
but you find yourself thinking, do I really have to go to<br />
work today? Because putting a boat into the water and<br />
drifting with that fog suddenly seems like the only way to<br />
spend the morning. Maybe a thermos of coffee. Maybe<br />
a fishing pole. Maybe a camera.<br />
you’re not careful, a picture of the river reflection taken<br />
in the evening will look the same no matter how you<br />
turn it. I’ve seen it in the rain, wrinkled like washed linen<br />
and when one of those pink-orange sunsets makes it<br />
look like a Valentine card. And I’ve seen it on a day like<br />
today with a bright sky but no visible sun. An ordinary,<br />
slightly dull day that challenges the spirit to be bright,<br />
no matter how festive the season. And, even today, the<br />
river is beautiful.<br />

Beat Winter Mold Growth this New Year By Harry Cannon, with Laura Bush Jenkins<br />
Did you know while you are entertaining family,<br />
raising your children, and working to get ahead<br />
this New Year, mold may be growing inside your<br />
home?<br />
Yes, mold grows in winter months.<br />
Increased humidity and moisture can create a<br />
favorable environment for mold. It spreads through<br />
spores that land on damp spots and begins growing<br />
by digesting surfaces such as fabric, paper, and wood.<br />
The EPA reports increased exposure in your home<br />
can bring about sensitivity and health problems. Mold<br />
can cause burning sensation to the skin, lungs, nose,<br />
throat, or eyes. It is important to put an end to this as<br />
soon as possible.<br />
Instead of relying on outdated approaches, Dwelling<br />
Management Solutions uses nationally recognized<br />
testing and EPA registered treatments. Instead of<br />
doing it yourself with constant spraying and chemicals<br />
that may harm your health, we can do yearly or twice<br />
yearly checks. We understand proper application to<br />
keep you safe and avoid future growth.<br />
This means better breathing and peace of mind for<br />
you.<br />
Stay proactive and protect your property this<br />
new year. Ask about our $25 mold inspection for<br />
