4 PUZZLES 

Two Years Before the Mast 

by Richard Henry Dana Jr. 

Two Years Before the Mast is a memoir 

by the American author Richard Henry 

Dana Jr., published in 1840, having been 

written after a two-year sea voyage from 

Boston to California on a merchant ship 

starting in 1834. A film adaptation under the 

same name was released in 1946. 

While an undergraduate at Harvard College, 

Dana had an attack of the measles which 

affected his vision. Thinking it might help 

his sight, Dana left Harvard to enlist as a 

common sailor on a voyage around Cape 

Horn on the brig Pilgrim. He returned to 

Massachusetts two years later, aboard the 

Alert (which left California sooner than the 

Pilgrim). 

He kept a diary throughout the voyage, 

and, after returning, he wrote a recognized 

American classic, Two Years Before the 

Mast, published in 1840. The term “before 

the mast” refers to the quarters of the common 

sailors, in the forecastle, in the front of 

the ship. His writing evidences his later sympathy with the lower classes. He later 

became a prominent anti-slavery activist and helped found the Free Soil Party.

ADVANCED 

HEARING AID 

TECHNOLOGY 

“I was amazed! 

Sounds I hadn’t 

heard in years 

came back to me!” 

— Don W., Sherman, TX 

How can a hearing aid that costs less than $ 200 

be every bit as good as one that sells for $2,250 or more? 

The answer: Although tremendous strides have been made in 

Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have 

not been passed on to you. Until now... 

MDHearingAid ® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into 

hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price. 

Over 300,000 satisfied MDHearingAid customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registered hearing 

aids don’t have to cost a fortune. The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a 

hearing aid. MDHearingAid is a medical-grade hearing aid offering sophistication and high 

performance, and works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” 

appointments. You can contact a licensed hearing specialist conveniently online or by phone 

— even after your purchase at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support. 

Now that you know...why pay more? 

Can a Hearing Aid Delay or Prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia? 

A study by the National Institute on Aging suggests older individuals with 

hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and 

dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. They suggest that 

an intervention — such as a hearing aid — could delay or prevent this by 

improving hearing! 

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR 45-DAY RISK-FREE TRIAL! 

Hearing is believing and we invite you to try this nearly invisible hearing aid with no annoying whistling 

or background noise for yourself. If you are not completely satisfi ed with your MDHearingAid, return it 

within 45 days for a FULL REFUND.

Chowanoke Indian History 

By Duvonya Chavis 


LOCAL HISTORY 5 

In previous articles, I began to shift focus towards 

dispelling the notion that at the time of European 

contact, American Indians were primarily nomadic 

hunter- gatherers, having no concept of what property 

rights or civilized economic societies were. This 

concept has consistently been applied to Indians for 

a couple of hundred years either verbally or written in 

various history books and legal texts and yet, nothing 

could be farther from the truth. Prior to colonial 

contact, Indians were primarily reliant on agriculture 

where 65 percent of their diet was derived from corn, 

beans, squash, grains and other agricultural products. 

Even “nomadic” Indians, as they were later called by 

colonists, observed property boundaries and rights as 

they would move to the same identical location year 

after year to take advantage of seasonal harvests 

such as salmon runs, buffalo migrations and harvesting 

of various crops. They would then return back to 

their home once finished. Consequently, Indians did 

not just frolic in the woods trying to find sources of 

food in order to sustain their existence. This would 

have been an impossible achievement for survival 

anyway when one considers the overall population of 

Indians living in this country and in various communities 

during that time. Many tribal communities were 

much larger and required far more social structure 

and order than many European countries of the time. 

Thus, Indians managed their lands by burning forests 

for specific purposes, clearing land for deer and buffalo, 

building irrigation systems, and domesticating 

wild plants. From the east coast to the west coast, 

there were several Indian communities where social 

order was displayed through examples such as the 

building of irrigation canals over 2000 years ago in the 

mid to southwestern part of what is now the United 

States, the building of hundreds of miles of roads 

that were 30 feet wide used to connect Indian communities, 

the building of large earth mounds for burial 

or ceremonial purposes, assigning private plots of 

land by tribes to individual Indian families for housing 

and for maintaining private gardens as evidenced 

by European observations of various tribes living in 

Northeast North Carolina, and the farming of individual 

plots by the Creek and the Cherokee who harvested 

and stored their crops in privately owned storehouses. 

I will note here that the largest earthwork in the world 

and even larger than the Great Pyramid in Egypt is 

located in the eastern part of the United States where 

the Cahokia community constructed a mound that was 

30 meters tall and 316 by 240 meters at its base covering 

14 acres. While tribal lands were owned by the 

tribes themselves, there are many examples where 

individual land property rights were observed and 

were not communally shared. In addition, many other 

assets were privately owned by the Indians and were 

not considered communal property at all. 

Indians also engaged in entrepreneurship and Indian 

communities acquired and accumulated material 

goods and respected and understood property boundaries. 

Trade routes were established that allowed 

individuals or tribes to engage in a free market to 

sell or barter their goods and many Indians traveled 

great distances to participate in these. It is also a little 

known fact that today the dollar bill is often referred 

to as a “buck” because Indians in the Mississippi 

Valley used deerskin as currency in the 1700’s. Later 

articles will expound more on the social and economic 

practices of various Indian communities precolonial 

contact. 

Duvonya, a Chowanoke Indian descendant, is 

President of Roanoke-Chowan Native American Association, 

a non-profit 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.

Gun Rights 

by Joe Forbes 


UNLIMITED REINVENTED 

OPINION 7 

It is fairly common to see messages on social 

media asking who teaches concealed 

carry classes, or when the “next” one is. Such 

a question implies that the questioner already 

has some familiarity with firearms, and just 

wants to get the paperwork out of the way. To 

often, the questioner is overlooking major aspects 

of concealed carry that a good instructor 

can address. The real question should be, 

“Who is the BEST instructor?” 

Carrying concealed does not eliminate a possible 

threat. It simply gives you another option 

to deal with it. Unfortunately, that option can 

have deadly consequences. You should not 

change your behavior just because you are 

carrying. If your common sense tells you not 

to go down a dark alley unarmed, why would 

you do so armed? If you pull into a gas station 

where a bunch of unsavory troublemakers 

are hanging out, your normal reaction would 

be to go elsewhere. That should not change 

just because you are armed. In the eyes of a 

jury, you may very well have to prove that you 

actively tried to avoid trouble, but it was forced 

upon you, and use of deadly force was the 

only way out. Speaking of options, you should 

have defensive skills other than pulling a 

trigger. A self-defense class, pepper spray or 

other non-lethal methods of defense can give 

you more options to avoid using the firearm, 

and options should you be separated from it. 

Carrying concealed involves entirely different 

circumstances than does the controlled 

setting of hunting or target shooting where 

the weapon is often not even loaded until you 

are in position and ready to fire. Carrying 

concealed means carrying, transporting and 

storing a loaded weapon capable of discharging 

and killing someone just by mishandling. 

Consideration must be given to accessibility, 

mode of transport, and security of storage. Is 

the weapon to be stored loaded? If so, what 

safeguards are in place to prevent unauthorized 

access by children and others? 

Carrying concealed involves knowing when 

to unholster the weapon, often in a public 

place, where even the presence of a weapon 

can cause a panic. The “when” is a product of 

applying the law to the particular facts of the 

Joe Forbes is a lawyer based in Elizabeth City, NC. 

He is passionate about our second amendment 

rights and writes articles on gun law. 

situation. If you are not absolutely sure of the 

law, how can you apply it correctly, especially 

given the potentially deadly consequences of 

your actions? 

Carrying concealed involves being very 

conscious of what lies beyond your attacker, 

even more so than in a hunting situation, 

because use of the weapon may very well 

be in a densely populated setting, with lots of 

potential victims down range should you miss. 

And the potential line of fire is 360 degrees, 

not down a confined shooting lane. You 

must know who is nearby and where they are 

before you can take steps to avoid injuring 

them. Remembering to constantly be aware 

of who is around you and what they are doing 

is a good first step to painting the scene in 

your mind. 

Carrying concealed involves not just familiarity 

with the weapon but proficiency with it. 

Proficiency requires lots of training and practice. 

That’s the reason police and military train 

all the time. A hyper-stressful situation on the 

street where your life is being threatened is 

not the time or place to try to recall how to get 

the safety off, or what the sight picture should 

look like, or how to clear a jam. 

With these things in mind, you should demand 

a ccw instructor who teaches above and 

beyond the statutory requirements to get the 

permit. Does he offer/endorse other methods 

of self-defense, including the concept of using 

force only to the level necessary to meet the 

threat? Does he offer training/advice on carrying, 

transporting and storing the weapon? 

Does he make the law absolutely clear so 

that you fully understand it? Does he instruct 

you on shooting positions to minimize risk to 

bystanders? Does he offer and encourage 

recurrent training? If not, you should consider 

another instructor.

8 TECH GIRL 

How AI is making our lives easier 

(BPT) - From the earliest stone tools to today’s super 

computers, technology has always promised to make 

our lives easier. Even as it adds complexity to our world, 

it offers new, simpler ways of accomplishing our daily 

activities. Now, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) look 

to take things one step further by using machine learning 

to drive innovation. 

With AI dominating much of the news cycle coming out 

of the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las 

Vegas, these are the best AI-powered devices available 

today that are already making our daily lives easier and 

opening up new possibilities in the quest to make life 

good. 

Higher quality photos 

Whether you’re snapping a selfie to share with friends 

or capturing one of life’s big moments, photo quality is 

crucial. It used to be the only way to make photos better 

was to use a better lens. But now AI can also play a role 

in producing amazing photos. 

The LG V40 ThinQ features five individual cameras, 

allowing you to capture more unique images of the moments 

that matter most. But what sets the V40 ThinQ 

further apart is the AI-powered camera that recognizes 

what you’re shooting and suggests the best filter. For 

content creators and anyone else who loves high-quality 

images, AI is poised to reshape the way we see the 

world. 

Better voice recognition 

It seems like voice recognition is everywhere these days. 

From your smartphone to your coffee pot, you can take 

control of many of these devices you use every day with 

just one word. Up to this point, voice recognition has 

been limited to simple commands with little room for 

variation. But AI is now making voice recognition technology 

more intuitive to bring better functionality to our 

favorite devices. 

For example, LG’s OLED 4K TVs are now equipped 

with powerful voice recognition features that allow you 

to speak naturally when controlling your smart TV for 

the ultimate viewing experience. With built-in Google Assistant, 

Amazon Alexa capabilities and LG’s ThinQ deep 

learning AI technology, the voice agent is more intelligent, 

simpler and easier to use. Whether you’re ordering 

food, searching YouTube or checking the weather, AI is 

making it easier to access the tools and media we love. 

Advanced AI customer service 

Nobody likes calling customer support. But if you have 

to, you want answers and you want them quickly. Unfortunately, 

many of us are all too familiar with those robotic 

messaging services that never seem to understand what 

you’re saying. It can feel like you’re talking to a brick 

wall. But what choice do you have when the only other 

option is waiting indefinitely for a live representative? 

Thankfully, those days are now a thing of the past. LG’s 

ProActive Customer Care uses AI technology to immediately 

alert LG smart appliance owners to potential 

problems before they even occur, expedite repairs when 

needed and offer useful maintenance tips to keep appliances 

performing their best. The first-of-its-kind customer 

support initiative is designed to improve product 

performance, extend product longevity, solve issues 

faster and ultimately save LG product owners time and 

money. 

In addition to the convenience of 

immediately receiving product alerts 

about performance issues, or reminders 

to order more of your favorite 

detergent, you can remotely control 

LG smart appliances via the LG 

SmartThinQ(R) mobile app or voice 

commands, using Amazon Alexa and 

the Google Assistant. Remote access 

makes it easier and more efficient to 

handle tasks like starting and stopping 

LG washers and dryers and telling LG refrigerators 

to make more ice when you’re on the go. 

We are only at the cusp of harnessing the true power of 

AI technology. But if current developments are any indication, 

AI looks to be a revolutionary force making our 

lives easier for years to come.

smart devices, please visit LG.com.

few untruths. 

The North Carolina Wildlife will have a special presentation: 

“The history/future of stripped bass on the 

Roanoke.” 

Perhaps no other sporting event locally is remembered 

as fondly as the Herring Run each spring. As the 

waterways warned and fed into the Atlantic, millions of 

the fish would migrate into the wetlands and tributaries 

to spawn. 

Fisheries lined the banks of the Albemarle Sound, 

Roanoke River and regional waterways creating a 

bustling industry tied to the natural gifts of nature. Along 

with the commercial fisheries, locals took advantage of 

the “Run” using dip or drop nets to catch a mess. 

The evening promises to be a time of shared stories 

that will entertain while remembering the days-gone-by, 

with laughter and sincere appreciation of nature.

Running of the Shad 

By: Coy Domecq 

We in this area are incredibly fortunate to have close proximity 

to one of the region’s biological wonders, the shad spawning 

migration. The spawning movement, also known more locally as a 

“run”, is one of the first animal indicators of spring. 


NATURE 11 

Baked Shad glazed with Dijon 

Mustard, Capers and Dill 

Ingredients: 

1 shad fillet 

1 tbsp butter 

½ fresh lemon 

1 tbsp Dijon mustard 

¼ cup fish stock, white wine or water 

1 tsp capers 

pinch of fresh dill 

Directions: 

Lightly season shad fillet. 

Place in moderately hot non-reactive skillet 

with touch of butter. 

Transfer to 375°F oven. Bake about 3 

minutes until shad is halfway done. 

Glaze lightly with Dijon mustard. 

Squeeze lemon over the shad. Add 

splash of white wine, fish stock or 

water(about 1 fl. oz). 

Continue to bake 2 – 3 minutes until shad 

is almost cooked. 

Carefully remove the shad to the plate. 

Swirl 1 tsp butter into pan juices, then add 

capers and fresh dill. 

Spoon butter sauce over the shad. 

Serve with your favorite green vegetable, 

such as broccoli or green beans and 

mashed potatoes. 

The shad, both American and hickory varieties, spawn in our 

rivers and migrate as fry to the Atlantic Ocean where they attain 

reproductive age. In early spring, typically around the middle of 

February in this area, the mature shad return to their home waters 

to lay their eggs. This mass movement of fish brings out all ilk of 

fishers. Birds, predatory fish and humans stock up on this oily, 

nutrient-dense fish. Local areas known to draw human anglers are 

the Cashie River in Windsor, NC and up and down the Roanoke 

River. The spring shad run is well documented as a Revolutionary 

War-era major dietary spring event that even made troop movements 

possible, or impossible, as an army travels on its stomach. 

Barrels of the salted fish were staged along marching routes to 

sustain the soldiers. 

An added bonus to the tasty fish flesh is the roe, or egg sacs, of 

the pre-spawn females. The roe is regarded as the poor man’s 

caviar and is a tasty as any treat you have ever eaten. 

If you have an interest in the ways of the shad, I strongly recommend 

the comprehensive account of this fish’s natural history and 

close association with human diet and survival in the book, The 

Founding Fish, by author John McPhee.

HOME 

Home and Garden Improvements That Will Benefit Local Wildlife 

(StatePoint) When it comes to changing the 

world, your own backyard is a great place to start. 

As you make home improvements, consider their 

potential to benefit local wildlife that travel in and 

around your property. 

Here are a few important steps you can take. 

Plant Native Species 

By planning native species exclusively in your 

garden and yard, you will be promoting a healthy 

local ecosystem while providing proper nourishment 

and a natural habitat for visiting wildlife, 

whether that be insects, birds or furry creatures. 

Because native plant species are meant to thrive 

in your local climate, they will require less maintenance, 

which means a beautiful yard with less 

stress. 

Prevent Bird Strikes 

You may not realize it, but your home poses a 

risk to birds. Window strikes are common among 

many species of migrating birds, and millions of 

wild birds are killed annually flying into windows. 

However, a simple home improvement project 

can make your home safer for birds. Birds can 

see certain light frequencies that humans can’t, 

so by applying UV decals and UV liquid to your 

home’s windows and sliding glass doors, you can 

make windows visible to birds in a way that won’t 

obstruct your own view. 

“Protecting birds adds beauty to your garden, is 

good for the environment and most importantly, 

saves lives,” says Spencer Schock, founder of 

WindowAlert, a company that offers UV decals 

and UV Liquid. 

The UV decals and liquid from WindowAlert have 

been proven to effectively alter the flight path of 

birds to prevent window strikes. The coating will 

look like etched glass to the human eye, but be 

very visible to a bird. As UV reflectivity may fade 

over time, it’s important to replace the decals and 

liquid every four months. Application techniques 

can be found by visiting WindowAlert.com. 

Build a Bird house 

Add beauty to your yard with a wooden bird 

house. Find a design you love or get creative and 

craft your own, using your own home’s architecture 

for inspiration. A strategically placed bird 

house -- either within three feet of a window or 

over 30 feet away -- will help avoid bird strikes. 

Be a good neighbor -- not just to the other humans. 

Make improvements to your home that will 

help protect both local and migratory wildlife.

Jean Baptiste Say on Why Property Rights 

Are the Key to Prosperity By: Gary M. Galles 


ECONOMICS 13 

Regulation and taxation have imposed constant 

government assaults on Americans’ property rights, 

eroding their ability to make their own choices. As James 

Fenimore Cooper once put it, “There is getting to be so 

much public right, that private right is overshadowed and 

lost…danger exists that the ends of liberty will be forgotten.” 

Given how much private property rights have been pared 

away, we should return to first principles about those essential 

underpinnings of voluntary relationships. 

One of the very best sources is Jean Baptiste Say, the 

foremost French political economist in the early 1800s. An 

elaborator on Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations and 

a vigorous defender of economic freedom, which arises 

from the defense of private property rights, his Treatise on 

Political Economy was highly influential and widely used as 

a textbook. 

Say’s Treatise chapter, “Of the right of property,” remains 

among the wisest, though widely violated, insights into 

property rights available today. And it is easily accessible. 

In fact, the English translation of the 1819 fourth edition is 

available as part of Liberty Fund’s “The Best of the Online 

Library of Liberty” series. Especially for the bicentennial of 

that seminal work, it merits renewed attention. 

“The right of property…[is] the most powerful of all encouragements 

to the multiplication of wealth.” 

“The legal inviolability of property is obviously a mere 

mockery…where possession is rendered perpetually 

insecure, by the intricacy of legislative enactments, and 

the subtleties of technical nicety. Nor can property be said 

to exist, where it is not matter of reality as well as of right. 

Then, and then only, can the sources of production…attain 

their utmost degree of fecundity.” 

“Who will…deny, that the certainty of enjoying the fruits of 

one’s land, capital and labor, is the most powerful inducement 

to render them productive? Or who is dull enough to 

doubt, that no one knows so well as the proprietor how to 

make the best use of his property? Yet how often in practice 

is that inviolability of property disregarded…upon the 

most flimsy pretexts?” 

“The property a man has in his own industry is violated, 

whenever he is forbidden the free exercise of his faculties 

and talents, except insomuch as they would interfere with 

the rights of third parties.” 

“Sacred as the property in the faculties of industry is, it is 

constantly infringed upon…What robber or despoiler could 

commit a more atrocious act of invasion upon the public 

security?” 

“Nothing short of the necessity of defending [social] order 

from manifest danger can authorize these or similar violations 

of individual right.” 

“Taxation…must be proved indispensable to the existence 

of social order; every step it takes beyond these limits is 

an actual spoliation; for taxation, even where levied by 

national consent, is a violation of property.” 

“The right of property implies the free disposition of one’s 

own.” 

“When public authority is not itself a spoliator, it procures 

to the nation the greatest of all blessings, protection 

from spoliation by others. Without this protection of each 

individual by the united force of the whole community, it is 

impossible to conceive any considerable development of 

the productive powers of man, of land, and of capital.” 

“The poor man…is equally interested with the rich in upholding 

the inviolability of property. His personal services 

would not be available, without the aid of accumulations 

previously made and protected. Every obstruction to, or 

dissipation of these accumulations, is a material injury to 

his means of gaining a livelihood.” 

“Civilized communities pursue and punish every invasion 

of property as a crime …the happy effects, resulting from 

the right of property, are more striking in proportion as that 

right is well guarded by political institutions.” 

As Larry Sechrest noted, J.B. Say was “precise and yet 

as simple as possible, so that any literate, reasonably 

intelligent person can comprehend his meaning.” However, 

Americans have been governed by violators of those principles 

because “agents of public authority…can enforce 

error and absurdity at the point of the bayonet.” And the 

results have been far worse than if we had followed his 

understanding. As Say wrote: 

Of all the means by which a government can stimulate 

production, there is none so powerful as the perfect security 

of person and property, especially from the aggressions 

of arbitrary power. This security is itself a source of public 

prosperity.

DOCTOR CRIME 

Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for a social scientist holding a Ph.D. degree in sociology and in criminology. 

He has worked in all major parts of the criminal justice system. Drop him a note at the 

website www.keepkidshome.net if you or your child is in trouble, or you have custody issues, he 

may be able to help, give him a call (252-339-0000). 

Dear Dr. Crime: Is the recent widespread attention to 

assaults on women an indication we should be concerned 

about our daughters’ mental health. Both girls have times 

they are so sad it makes me fearful? Lucy 

Dear Lucy. If assault happens at all you should take 

precautions. Research suggests there is reason to worry. 

In January I wrote a response to a young girl about how 

to respond to assault. I encourage you to read that just 

in case. Your concerns are more about the depressed 

feelings of girls, and you have touched an important area. 

The Carolina Journal and the Psychological Bulletin reported 

frightening statistics. Broad and scientifically strong 

research has found that approaching half of teen age girls 

are depressed. Boys have less than half of that number. 

Social images of perfection expected of girls is evident in 

many forms of media. Let your girls know you love them, 

and that no one is perfect. For information on the disproportionate 

rapes by gender, and how most sexual assaults 

are unreported, see the National Sexual Violence Resource 

Center. For ways to respond see the Fear 2 Freedom 

project in Virginia. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Are we seeing more hate in the world that 

was previously true? Alarmed. 

Dear Alarmed. YES ! The Southern Poverty Law Center 

has reported research showing that hate groups have hit a 

20 year high. The media was all over that and you can find 

many references to it. We now have over a thousand different 

hate groups, involving not just the KKK but Neo-Nazi 

groups, Black Nationalist groups and others. The FBI reports 

they found 7,775 hate related criminal events in 2017 

and 6,121 in 2016. Hate must be better understood. Seen 

the USA Today article of 2/20/2019 on this topic. 

Dear Dr. Crime: My son is a student at __________ University. 

His girlfriend tells him if she reports his “sexual behavior” 

to the Dean they will have a formal trial on campus. 

He will be publically questioned by the Dean for all to hear. 

What is going on? That sounds like a criminal trial, not an 

education process. Broke Parent 

Dear Parent. I get your point, and yes, you pay a lot for 

college. What the girlfriend described is covered by the 

U.S. Department regulation Title IX, the gender equality 

law. Under President Obama handling of sex allegations 

was believed to be biased in favor of the accused. The 

current Secretary of Education has proposed new rules so 

it will be some time before we know the final rules. The 

proposed rules would involve a live hearing with cross 

examinations and a reduction in the types of cases school 

would have to investigate.

SWAMPROOTS ~ A Timeless Gift 

Who else is tired of WINTER with temperatures dipping 

in the 20’s and a month and a half to go before spring 

is officially here? When thinking about spring most folks 

tend to look forward to warmer temps, green grass, early 

blooms, starting the garden, and such. I like these things 

as well, but to really know that winter is over there is one 

thing I can count on and that is the arrival of the first Purple 

Martins. It seems that the first martins show up in my area 

about mid march or so to look for suitable nesting sites. My 

wife and I have maintained a Martin house for almost 30 

years (Purple Martins are the only bird in North America 

east of the Rockies that totally depend on man-made housing). 

Each year we take the house down and clean out the 

old nesting material in preparation for the new and returning 

arrivals. Once the birds arrive and take over the house, 

the colony begins to build new nests to raise their chicks. 

When the colony moves in and you hear the unmistakable 

nonstop chirping that’s when you know spring is here. Usually 

they have established themselves in the house by late

March to early April and you can enjoy them until late summer 

(about early August) until they leave again, signaling 

the coming of fall. It is such a joy to walk out in the yard and 

watch the martin colony darting about as they feed and care 

for their chicks. Martins are predators of the open sky and 

eat any and all types of flying insects (not just mosquitoes 

as some used to think). I would highly recommend putting a 

Purple Martin house in your yard and begin enjoying these 

great bird visitors to the eastern Carolina area. There is a 

ton of info via books or internet 

about housing (store bought or 

homemade), mounting, and best 

locations. Get started now and see 

if you can attract your own colony 

of Purple Martins!!! 


Give The Gift Of Delicious Coffee

(NAPS)—Have you ever wondered what to buy a 

friend and wished you could get them something 

that they would enjoy every day? Everyone has at 

least one friend who simply cannot live without their 

coffee. If that friend uses a pod brewing system, they 

are choosing convenience and speed but sacrificing 

flavor and value. When they buy coffee pods, they 

are paying about $40 per pound of coffee. A drip 

coffee maker brews somewhat better-tasting coffee 

but people probably waste half the coffee that they 

brew. That is like doubling what you pay per pound of 

coffee. 

Better Taste, Less Waste 

There are some great inexpensive devices for brewing 

a wonderful single cup of coffee. Manual brewers, 

many say, brew the best cup of coffee you can 

make at home. With these brewers you can use your 

favorite freshly roasted local coffee, and furthermore, 

you don’t waste any. You brew only the number of 

cups you want. With a brewer like the AeroPress 

coffee maker you can brew a rich, delicious cup of 

coffee with no bitterness in just a minute or two. The 

process is simple, clean up is fast and easy, and the 

grounds including the filter are compostable. Every 

ounce of coffee you buy ends up in a cup you drink, 

so none of your money goes down the drain. 

It’s possible to brew café-quality coffee at home 

without spending hundreds of dollars on a machine or 

wasting half the coffee you brewed. Give the gift of a 

manual brewing device to help your friends brew one 

or two cups at a time using freshly roasted coffee, 

and they’ll thank you for helping them get the most 

out of every bag of coffee they buy. To learn more,

What’s in your diet? 

As my readers are aware, my mission is to upgrade 

food choices to mitigate the cancer disparity in this 

region. In order for food to work as medicine, it has to 

be clean, and supply the essential nutrients for optimum 

health. I’ve focused on food to address the disparity, because 

cancer researchers are looking at food, and food is 

the most obvious environmental culprit in this region that 

can be controlled. The problem is, the United State’s current 

food policy is risk-based and not zero tolerant, and 

that includes imports. There are numerous additives and 

manufacturing practices that are permitted in commerce, 

that are based on decades old regulations such as the 

“Generally Regarded As Safe” (GRAS) list, and policies 

that permit sub-therapeutic antibiotics and hormones in 

meat and poultry products without identification. However, 

government labeling policy permits a manufacturer to 

identify what isn’t in a meat or poultry food product, such 

as“no antibiotics or no added hormones”. 

So, let’s go a little deeper into processed foods, particularly 

cured products such as ham, cold cuts and sausage. 

Most cured products are processed with sodium 

nitrite, an additive that is required to be identified on the 

labeling. Meats naturally contain amines, and readily 

combines with nitrite to form carcinogenic nitrosamines. 

Government regulations require that meats manufactured

because “Country of Origin” laws were rescinded. 

Further, livestock, including poultry are exposed to 

many of the maladies that humans are subject to, and 

some. Their living conditions include unsanitary mutual 

water sources, feed made from GM O’s, overcrowding, 

parasites, poor sanitation, and exposure to the elements. 

Consequently, livestock probably receive as many medications 

as the average human. Those medications don’t 

stop at slaughter and many can withstand heat treatment. 

Human consumers may receive unnecessary arthritis 

medication, sub-therapeutic antibiotics, hormones, arsenic, 

and many more unlisted substances. 

I think we need to take long hard look at organic meat 

and poultry enterprises, as our major meat producers are 

going to foreign interest. 

Remember, let food be your medicine and support “The 

Organic Capital Of The World”.

5 Foods for Gut Health 

Keep Your Heart Healthy With These 

5 Keto-Friendly Foods 


HEALTH 19 

Kefir 

Mangoes 

Sauerkraut 

(StatePoint) The low-carb, high-fat diet known as keto has 

Americans looking at healthy food consumption in a whole 

new light. Keto programs have proven effective for weight 

loss, but how heart-healthy are they? As with all things, 

moderation is key. 

To get you started, the experts at South Beach Diet -- a 

more accessible version of the keto diet – recommend 

these five keto-friendly, heart-healthy foods: 

1. Full-fat dairy: “Full-fat dairy is healthy,” says Dr. Arthur 

Agatston, creator of the South Beach Diet. “For example, 

you should be eating full-fat yogurt, not low-fat yogurt.” 

With zero net carbs, items such as butter and cream are 

rich in healthy fats. While large amounts are associated 

with obesity and may cause heart disease, according to 

many experts, the opposite is true when consumed in 

moderation, as shown in studies published by the “European 

Journal of Clinical Nutrition.” Stick to recommended 

serving sizes of rich keto foods such as sour cream, cream 

cheese and yogurt. 

2. Eggs: Despite receiving a bad rap for high cholesterol 

content, eggs are low in carbs and high in protein and 

amino acids. And according to the Mayo Clinic, the effect 

of egg consumption on blood cholesterol is minimal when 

compared with the effect of trans fats and saturated fats, 

and their high protein content helps stabilize blood sugar 

levels. Egg whites contain no cholesterol and are high in 

protein; while the yolk provides the majority of the egg’s 

nutritional content. Eaten sensibly, eggs are both keto- and 

heart-friendly. 

3. Shrimp: Shrimp is a versatile superfood, high in protein 

and contains more than 20 vitamins and minerals, including 

selenium, which reduces inflammation and promotes 

heart health. Seek out wild-caught shrimp to avoid antibiotics. 

Frozen just after they’re caught, frozen shrimp is 

usually a good bet, however, if you buy fresh, be sure the 

shells don’t feel slimy or soft or have a fishy, ammonia-like 

smell. 

4. Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids 

and have been proven to lower the risk of heart attack and 

heart disease. Flaxseed also contains 800 times more of a 

cancer-fighting phytochemical called lignan than any other 

food. For maximum nutritional benefits, choose ground 

flaxseed and refrigerate for longevity. Try mixing it into olive 

oil-based mayo or blending it into your favorite protein 

shake. 

5. Olive-oil or avocado-oil based mayonnaise: This oftenmaligned 

condiment is high in heart-healthy, monounsaturated 

fats, and is a keto staple with its zero grams of net 

carbs. 

“Look for varieties without added sugar, which just contributes 

additional calories without any other nutritional 

benefits,” says Courtney McCormick, manager, clinical 

research and Nutrition at South Beach Diet. 

“Phase one of the South Beach Diet has always been 

keto-friendly. Get rid of all the white stuff -- white flour, 

breads and pasta,” says Dr. Agatston. “Once you eliminate 

them from your diet, your body starts burning fat, and you 

will feel so much better.” 

For more information on the South Beach Diet and its 

keto-friendly options, visit www.southbeachdiet.com. 

When adopting a keto-style diet, think beyond weight loss. 

Be sure to include a range of foods that are great for heart 

health.
