The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac 

Photo by:Tom Palumbo 

The Dharma Bums is a 1958 novel by Beat Generation author 

Jack Kerouac. The basis for the novel’s semi-fictional accounts 

are events occurring years after the events of On the Road. The 

main characters are the narrator Ray Smith, based on Kerouac, 

and Japhy Ryder, based on the poet and essayist Gary Snyder, 

who was instrumental in Kerouac’s introduction to Buddhism in the 

mid-1950s. 

The book concerns duality in Kerouac’s life and ideals, examining 

the relationship of the outdoors, mountaineering, hiking, and 

hitchhiking through the west US with his “city life” of jazz clubs, 

poetry readings, and drunken parties. The protagonist’s search for 

a “Buddhist” context to his experiences (and those of others he 

encounters) recurs throughout the story. The book had a significant 

influence on the Hippie counterculture of the 1960s.

April Showers to Spring Flowers 

by: Nancy Nicholls 

EDENTON, NC – Gearing up for what promises to be a 

weekend of wonderful activities inside and out, Historic 

Edenton is making sure not only that the sun will shine 

but also that the many gardens will be aglow with colorful 

blooms as the 2019 Pilgrimage Tour of Homes takes 

place on Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13th from 

10 am – 4 pm each day. The two days have so many 

events on the calendar, visitors may just want to block off 

the entire weekend so they can thoroughly enjoy. 

You can begin the weekend on Friday at 9:30 am with the 

Edenton Tea Party Re-enactment bringing back Penelope 

Barker and the 51 Women that told the King NO. This 

will take place on the Penelope Barker House Welcome 

Center Old Colonial Wharf. On the tour itself, there will 

be over 15 Private Homes, 11 Historic Sites all open for 

touring as well as the Creating A Masterpiece, “Textile 

Through Time” exhibit on display at the 1767 Chowan 

County Courthouse. The Edenton Woman’s Club 

presents this event – tickets are $30 in advance and $35 

days of, students are $10 and group tickets (10 or more) 

$25 and can be purchased by calling Historic Edenton 

State Historic Site @ 252-482-2637. 

Destination Downtown Edenton invites you to join them 

for Boogie on Broad, a family-friendly street dance on 

Friday evening from 7 -10 pm with THE TAMS as the 

featured band. In celebration of NC Beer Month, NC 

Craft Beers will also be on tap and this event is free and 

open to the public. 

Enjoy Fresh Air & Keep Dirty Sock Syndrome Away 

by Tina Cannon, with Laura Bush Jenkins 

When Edenton resident Keith Stevens strangely continued 

coughing for a couple of months, he and his 

wife were concerned. Sure enough, mold entered their 

home after a heavy rain. 

Through a mutual friend, Keith connected with mold 

remediator Harry Cannon of Dwelling Management 

Solutions. DMS fogged his entire house- including the 

crawlspace, attic, and HVAC ducts. 

“My wife and I noticed significant improvements and a 

more pure air,” Keith said. 

“He was proactive,” Stevens noted, “and [since arranging 

subsequent treatments] I have a high level of confidence. 

You have a partner, not just a short-term service provider.” 

Recently, Cannon and his team shared their expertise 

with another couple, the Feltons, in Camden. Sharon 

Felton contacted Andy Fox and Wavy News 10 after 

reporting about 5 years of problems with a foul smell 

resembling dirty socks in her home. 

To capture all that is truly NC, the weekend will not be 

complete without celebrating the 200th Anniversary of 

President James Monroe’s 1819 visit to Edenton on 

Saturday, April 13th from 7 – 11 pm on the 1767 Chowan 

County Courthouse Green. James Monroe in-character 

performer * Formal or Historic Attire * Dinner * Historic 

Dancing are all part of this one-of-a-kind evening. Tickets 

are $100 per person or $90 with a Pilgrimage Tour 

Ticket and can be purchased by calling Historic Edenton 

State Historic Site, Visitor Center 252-482-2637. 

We look forward to having you join us for an exceptional 

weekend where you can experience not only what Historic 

Edenton offers today but also what the 1st Colonial 

Capital of NC offered in its early days as well. For more 

information on upcoming events:

This is not directly related to any one manufacturer or 

dealer but is industry-related. 

A homeowner or business could become so familiar with 

Dirty Sock Syndrome they might not notice until leaving 

and encountering an offensive smell and other issues. 

Most of the mold and bacteria that accumulates is not 

detrimental unless you have a compromised immune 

system, asthma, or allergies. However, you could experience 

symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, running 

eyes and nose, etc. 

You don’t have to spend big bucks replacing your HVAC 

coil- sometimes annually- which costs upwards of $1,200 

per coil. We have a simple process using proprietary, 

EPA-approved chemicals to kill impurities and improve 

your air quality.

“We’ve found if we don’t pay attention to the HVAC 

system, then the contaminated air can continuously be 

recirculated,” Cannon noted while on the scene. 

Known as Dirty Sock Syndrome, this condition is the 

result of mold, bacteria, dust, dead rodents, and other 

particulates that build upon your air conditioning coil.

Elizabeth City Chamber News 

by: Holly Staples 

We were honored and proud to celebrate Sentara Albemarle 

Medical Center’s five-year anniversary with them on March 7. 

They shared updates on the many improvements and advances 

that have taken place in the last five years, and we heard passionate 

testimony from their administrators and partners. It was a 

wonderful celebration to mark this happy milestone. 

The Chamber’s 2nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Bowling event on 

March 12 was a fun filled evening. Twelve spirited teams competed 

for the Leprechaun Cup, which was ultimately won by Sonic. 

2nd place was won by Elizabeth City Regional Airport, and 3rd 

place went to Pepsi Bottling Ventures. The Most Spirited Team 

was awarded to Piedmont Natural Gas. Trophies were sponsored 

by Hwy 55 Burgers Shakes Fries. Thank you to all of our participating 

teams – we had so much fun watching you have fun! 

Elizabeth City State University’s Aviation Science Department 

invited us to explore their program at a Business After Hours on 

March 14. Attendees were treated to an overview of the program, 

live drone demonstrations, and were able to “fly” in flight simulators. 

It was a treat to get such an in depth look at this fascinating 

program. 

The Chamber has a full slate of events coming up this spring.

Paired: A Wine and Beer Pairing Event – We are so excited to 

share plans for our newest event with you! On June 1, at Museum 

of the Albemarle, we will hold our inaugural Wine and Beer Pairing 

event. This event, presented by Chesapeake Regional Healthcare, 

will feature wine and beer from Coastal Beverage, great food 

from local restaurants, and live music from Go Figure. You will not 

want to miss this unique experience! 


Last month I shared that I was the Supervisory Food 

Technologist/Senior Staff member, in the USDA/FSIS/ 

SLD ( Standards & Labeling Division). 

In layman terms that’s a bureaucrat. The SLD had huge 

influence on the application of the USDA ‘s “Standard of 

Identity”, policy for all meat and poultry products manufactured 

in the United States and the import and and 

export markets. My work units job was to review the 

mandatory labeling material supported by formulas and 

processing procedures. The labeling material would be 

submitted by industry representatives or lobbyist expediting 

for their industry clients. 

Today we’ll be looking at substances used in the dairy 

industry that are detrimental to your health and 

why they’re in your food. There’s been numerous 

reports about the herbicide “Glyphosate/Roundup”, and 

how it’s been found in grain products such as breakfast 

cereals, and beer. But glyphosate contamination goes 

far beyond that. Much of the grains grown in Northeast 

North Carolina are used to feed live stock including dairy 

cows. When cows no longer lactate they are slaughtered 

for their meat. Most of their meat will be further 

processed for the domestic market because of additive 

limitations. 

Dairy consumption means you are ingesting additives 

such as: glyphosate, rBGH (synthetic growth hormone), 

antibiotics. In 2010 the Obama administration raised 

glyphosate residual levels at Monsanto’s request. 

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? 

Warren Green can be reached 

at warreng9241@hotmail.com 

So, let’s connect the dots Over the years I’ve been a 

strong outspoken advocate for prostate cancer survivors 

in Northeast North Carolina. For three years I facilitated 

an American Cancer Society (ACS) program called “Man 

to Man”. While serving in that capacity I analyzed data 

from the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry, the 

North Carolina Office of Minority Health & Health Disparities, 

and of course the ACS. My research determined 

that AA men in Northeast North Carolina, has some of 

the highest prostate cancer incidents in the world. And, 

very limited treatment options. 

Local leaders should consider this a clarion call for 

action. Law practices are lining up to handle pesticide 

and herbicide claims. Our AA citizens are the proverbial 

“canary in the coal mine”. 

Certified Organic Soil Testing should be a priority. 

To summarize, I’ll state this as a food safety expert. Our 

national food chain is polluted and our region’s agriculture 

products are major contributors. It’s political and you 

know what to do.

Have you ever wondered? 

It seems as though politicians go to the 

legislature and get marching orders on 

how to vote from their political parties. 

Then come back and sell the vote to 

their constituents. If you don’t buy what 

is being sold, the politician gets angry. 

Whatever happened to politicians 

finding out how their constituents want 

them to vote and go to the legislature 

to represent the citizens of their district? 

Are we represented, or managed? Just 

wondering.......

Salad Bar by the Yard by: Coy Domecq 

These days, microgreens are all the rage in fine 

dining establishments. The botanical selections 

are carefully cultivated and harvested at their peaks of 

microgreen development between the sprout and fully 

mature stage. Certainly, those of us with refined palettes 

can discern the quality and benefit of consuming 

the latest and greatest in the world of microgreens. 

That is all well and good I am sure, but allow me to 

introduce you to the microgreen cousins on the other 

side of the tracks. This selection enjoys less renown as 

their more well-known family connections but provide 

every bit as much panache as those restaurant dwellers. 

Just step outside of your door, front, side or back 

will do, and encounter all those waiting to make your 

acquaintance. You are likely to encounter succulent 

clover, tender dandelion, piquant wood sorrel and if you 

are fortunate, maybe some tasty chickweed. This is 

just a smattering of the yard fare you could find. These 

salad ingredients have all of the fiber and nutritional 

value as that stuff covered in plastic wrap lounging 

in the produce section of your local market. Did I say 

“salad ingredients”? It’s true, but these ingredients can 

also be used as garnish, sandwich dressings, pizza 

toppings, soups and pesto combinations. You don’t 

have to be wealthy to live like you are uptown. 

The keys to this method of acquiring local microgreen 

nirvana is to know the absolute identity of that which 

you harvest and confirm that the collecting area is 

free of pesticides or herbicides. Preferably collect in 

the mornings, select the youngest specimens, rinse 

thoroughly and finally, eat sparingly at first if new to this 

form of yard harvest to minimize any potential allergic 

reactions or untoward digestive effects. 

Bon appetit, ya’ll.

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

by Jim KAIGHN, CLU,CHFC,RHU,AABA, BSBA,LUTCF 

LEARNING AUTO INSURANCE TERMINOLOGY, PART ONE--LIABILITY SECTION 

Last month, I finished up with the terminology on LIFE INSURANCE.. 

This month is on AUTO INSURANCE and some do’s and don”ts.. 

The reason folks need auto insurance is that is is mandated upon 

us by the Commissioner of Insurance in any state that you live in.. 

mainly for two reasons::if you are buying a vehicle and have it financed 

through a bank, the bank wants to make sure that if you are in an 

accident, and the vehicle needs a few bandages or a complete funeral, 

that they can get their money back to repay the loan, since you probably 

can”t do it on your own.. It just makes sense.. IT IS COLLATERAL!! 

Next is the State you live in, wants to make sure that if yo are involved 

in an accident and it is YOUR FAULT!! THERE IS MONEY to pay for 

the damages done to people and/or property..This part of the insurance 

contract is called LIABILITY section..This is broken down into 

three areas.. IF YOU INJURE ONE PERSON, OR MORE THAN ONE 

PERSON, OR DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY..The State you 

live in has minimum amounts that you must carry on these areas so ,at 

least there is some money that can be paid to the injured party.. North 

Carolina”s limits are $30,000 for one person injured, $60,000 for more 

than one person injured and $25,000 for property damage.. ALERT, 

ALERT, ALERT!!!!! this is where these cheap companies like GIECO, 

PROGRESSIVE, DIRECT AND ELEPHANT and others get you.. they 

get you to buy only the lowest amount of coverage for that state, so 

your premium is lower.. IS THAT GREAT OR WHAT!!! NO, NO, NO!! 

Guess who has to pay the balance if the injuries are higher than those 

limits? YOU DO SUCKER!! They also get you to drop other benefits to 

lower your price!! Now there is a provisional benefit that is there if you

Dear Dr. 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, he 

may be able to help, give him a call (2523390000) or 

E-mail at 

reedadams@yahoo.com 

Dear Dr. Crime: I am sick of the crime around us. 

Why does not our country really get tough and kick 

some of the crooks and put them in prison more? Old 

Victim 

Dear Vic: I understand how you feel, and you are 

right that a negative effect to a criminal act should 

reduce the frequency of such acts in the future. However, 

many things impact the crooks in addition to police/courts 

actions. For one thing, it may take a very 

long time and the crook may associate police action 

with other matters rather than learning that crime is 

followed by hurt. A recent report, “Mass Incarceration: 

The Whole Pie 2019” argues we lock up more people 

than any other nation. It reports the American criminal 

justice system currently holds “1.3 million people 

in state prisons; 612,000 people in local jails; 221,000 

people in federal prisons and jails; 61,000 people 

(including 11,800 children) in immigration detention; 

and 46,000 people in juvenile justice facilities. In 

addition to those locked up, another 3.6 million are on 

probation and 840,000 are on parole.” We are not a 

timid and soft county. What they report about North 

Carolina is copied below. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Do many adults hurt little kids? What I see 

in the news makes me sick. Upset Mary 

Dear Mary: Yes, some of it upsets me more than I can say, 

at least in print. The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data 

System reports that about 1,720 children died due to abuse 

and neglect in 2017. About 7 ½ million kids were referred to 

Child Protective Services that year. The effects on the kids 

are long-lasting and are related to lower school achievement, 

juvenile delinquency, substance abuse, and mental health 

problems. Abuse is often not just physical beatings but other 

kinds of harm. If you know of such a situation, report it to 

your local Department of Social Services in your county. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Our Christian church wants to offer programs 

to help end the sexual traffic in girls. Where can we 

go to find money to start helping? Pastor X 

Dear Pastor: Give me a call and we will talk. However, 

immediately go on the internet to the NoVo Foundation and 

see their offer of $600,000 a year for 3 years for programs 

that address commercial sexual exploitation of women and 

girls. You must write a proposal and the deadline is very 

soon. Call me. 


Chowanoke History 

by Duvonya Chavis 

Pow-Wow comes from the Algonquin word “Pau-wau”, 

which originally referred to a gathering of medicine men or 

spiritual leaders for ceremonial curing. This meaning evolved 

over time from a gathering for healing purposes to a gathering 

or meeting of the tribal council. Today, Pow Wow is a cultural 

gathering where American Indians come together to express 

and celebrate their heritage. During this event, American Indians 

reunite with family tribal members, members from other 

tribes, and non-Indian community members to share their 

culture and to dance, sing, listen to flute or various music, 

camp, talk about their history, and enjoy food, cultural demonstrations, 

and crafts. 

While the Pow-Wow today is not ceremonial in the same 

traditional manner that occurred pre-colonization, the dance 

arena is blessed before the Pow-Wow begins. Once blessed, 

this area is considered to be sacred and as such is given a 

high level of respect. One can view this respect as analogous 

to that which is given to the pulpit in our churches. 

For those who have never been to a Pow-Wow, the cultural 

richness gained from attending a good Pow-Wow is difficult 

to pen and is something that must be experienced. Beaded 

regalia and ribbon dress adorned with bold, rich colors and 

designs are stunning and beautiful. Where food offering Indigenous 

flavor is served, they must be sampled. In addition, 

there is nothing that matches the soothing flavor of American 

Indian flute music as it calms the soul and relaxes the body. 

In this era of self-determination, Tribes and Native groups are 

celebrating by having Pow-Wows and festivals more today 

than they have since colonization. 

The Chowanoke Nation is having their annual Pow-Wow on 

Saturday, April 27, 2019 at the Ahoskie Recreational Complex 

in Ahoskie, NC. The event will start with Grand Entry at 

12:00pm. 

The public is invited to attend and all are welcome. 

Duvonya, a Chowanoke 

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. In 

partnership with another 

Chowanoke descendant, she 

is currently developing the 

historic Chowanoke Reservation 

in Gates County for 

Tribal descendants to hold 

cultural events. 

The drum is central to the Pow-Wow. The singers usually sit 

near the edge of the dance arena or under a drum arbor and 

play songs that are the heartbeat of each ceremonial event. 

Whether songs are sung to honor certain groups of people 

and events or are sung for various dance styles, the drum 

team is adept with knowing several different songs and when 

to sing them.

Pregnancy Massage: Great for Mom and Baby 

Human touch is, and most people enjoy it. Massage 

during pregnancy can provide many benefits such 

as: 

Tranquil relaxation and reduce stress 

Relieves neck, back, pelvic and leg pain 

Reduces stress on weight-bearing joints 

Increase in blood and lymph circulation, which can 

reduce swelling 

Relief from muscle cramps, spasms, and myocardial 

pain, especially in the lower back, neck, hips, and legs. 

The difference between “regular” massage and pregnancy 

massage is that the person receiving the message 

is pregnant and therefore knowledge of pregnancy 

and the anatomy of the expectant mother is very important. 

The body must be positioned and cushioned in a 

way that protects and comforts the mother and the baby, 

and there are also parts of the body that should never 

receive message techniques 

The massage table sets up so you will be in a semi-reclining 

position — a comfortable place for you and also 

safe for the baby. You will also turn from side to side for 

your back and hips and continue to receive a soothing 

massage; there the body pillows, wedge pillows, and extra 

padding will be used to make you more comfortable. 

Pregnancy massage typically completes after the first 

trimester. On arrival, you will be asked to complete 

an intake history form to see if pregnancy massage is 

right for you. There may be certain conditions that may 

or may not be related to the pregnancy that is a contraindication 

to massage. If you are considered highrisk, 

please consult your physician before considering 

massage to obtain their professional opinion on your 

condition. 

Alisa Perry LMBT is a Registered Nurse who has experience 

in Inpatient Obstetrics with 26 years of experience 

with pregnant women.

The 6th Annual Biggs 

Classic Golf Tournament 

Major League Baseball has an extensive network of 

minor leagues to develop future stars, whereas the 

NBA and the NFL recruit from the college ranks. But the 

PGA does not own minor league teams or recruit from 

college teams. For a young golfer aspiring to play on 

the PGA tour there are has few roads to the big time. 

Tiger Woods made it to the PGA on the basis of a stellar 

amateur career, but chances are a young pro golfer must 

work his way up from a developmental tour to the Web. 

com Tour, the PGA’s only “minor league.” 

Arguably the best developmental golf tour in the country 

is the GPro Tour that operates a full schedule of tournaments 

from Virginia to Georgia, but mostly in North 

Carolina. Of these, the one that has become the most 

prestigious and the most popular is the Biggs Classic 

played annually on Albemarle Plantation’s Sound Golf 

Links in Hertford, NC. 

The 6th Annual Biggs Classic Golf Tournament will be 

played this year May 23-25, with tournament week beginning 

on May 20 with a Pro-Am and several other contests. 

The field of 144 golfers announced by GPro Tour is 

the largest ever for this tournament. Sign-ups have been 

pouring in since the schedule was announced, and for 

several good reasons: the quality of the golf course, the 

week-long activities, and the outstanding support of local 

sponsors and the community. 

Residents of Albemarle Plantation have established an 

unrivaled reputation for hospitality and volunteerism.

Sponsored by Dwelling 

Management Solutions 

Local PGA pro Lee Duncan says it best: “Residents 

welcome players into their homes and provide them a 

comfy bed, a tasty meal, a friendly smile, and, if needed, 

even a shoulder to cry on.” Over 150 of these residents 

volunteer their services on and off the course and form 

the tournament’s enthusiastic gallery, especially when 

surrounding the 18th green at the end of the tournament. 

Spectators can come by car or by boat. Admission is 

free.

MAJ. RAYMOND H. WILKINS ~ WWII HERO 

Raymond Harrell Wilkins was born on September 28, 

1917 and was the second son of William Samuel and 

Florida Harrell Wilkins. Although he was born in Portsmouth, 

Va., the family moved to Columbia, NC in September of 

1921 where his grandparents lived. Raymond graduated 

with honors from Columbia High School in 1934 and went 

on to study pharmacy at the University of North Carolina. 

His dream was to be in the army so he applied to West 

Point. He passed the written exams with high grades but 

could not pass the Academy’s strict physical demands. He 

lost his appointment to West Point but didn’t give up on 

his military dreams, he enlisted in the army and began his 

soldier’s career as a buck private. He soon worked up a 

couple of grades and shifted over to the Air Corps where 

pilots were in great demand. Just before America entered 

WWII, Raymond got his pilots wings and was promoted to 

the rank of lieutenant. He requested to be sent overseas 

and was sent to the Pacific Theater as a low level bomber 

pilot. Known in the military as “Wilkie”, He was well respected 

by his fellow pilots, and many regarded him as a 

stickler for regulations. He soon began to win his reputation 

for daring over assigned targets. In a raid over Gloucester, 

New Britain, he led his squadron against two Jap destroyers 

which lay in the harbor. These were his special assignment 

and he went for them in the face of intense AA fire, dropping 

his bombs with precision, scoring hits on both ships and 

sinking one. Wilkie’s plane was riddled with bullet holes from 

attacking Zeros, but managed to land safely and returned to 

the harbor the next day to finish off the surviving destroyer. 

By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com 

He became Commanding Officer of his squadron, part of 

the “Grim Reapers”, one of the most famous of the medium 

bomber units. When he took over his post he told his men 

“I will lead you on every mission” and he kept his word. He 

had just one more mission to fly, a raid on Rabaul. He had 

to keep his word and not let his men go on that one without 

leading them. As usual he claimed the hottest position in the 

formation for himself. Trouble started as soon as they got 

over the target, the Japs had moved in new aircraft guns. 

The entire defense setup in the harbor had been shifted, 

and the original plans were useless. The sky was a ceiling 

of exploding shells. Wilkie’s squadron behind the leading 

planes was in the worse position and would take everything 

the enemy had to offer. Wilkie roared in first, dropping his 

bombs with precision on a 10,000 ton ship. He hit the target 

dead on and the ship was ablaze and sinking. He circled 

and came back to the far end of the harbor where small 

ships were pouring out deadly anti-aircraft fire. Wilkie dove 

on them with his gun blazing and drove the Jap gunners to 

cover. In the middle of the harbor, a Jap destroyer was also 

blazing away at the planes. Wilkie roared back, mast high 

over the destroyer, strafing and releasing more bombs which 

hit squarely amidships. As the bombing mission ended, the 

planes began to make their way back to base. This was 

quite an ordeal because at the mouth of the harbor, close 

to where they had to fly, two Jap cruisers were sending up 

a terrific barrage. Recognizing the peril, Wilkie dove at the 

cruisers, knowing he couldn’t hurt them. His bombs were 

gone and ammunition was low, but by diving he could save 

the others by drawing the cruiser’s 

deadly fire. The bomber was hit 

many times as he dove on the Jap 

cruisers. The damaged plane turned 

over on its back and spun downward 

into the sea. Even as Wilkie’s plane 

was falling, the other planes were 

roaring out of the harbor and back to 

their home base. Major Wilkins died at age 26 on November 

2, 1943 in Rabaul, New Britain. He was awarded the Congressional 

Medal of Honor for his bravery and heroism that 

day, the highest military honor. The little boy who grew up in 

Tyrrell County was an example for us all! 

Orthodox Christianity by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd 

Easter 

T 

oward 

the end of this month (April), the world will be celebrating 

Easter. 

For most members of the Christian community, Easter will 

be celebrated on the twenty-first. There will be joyful music, 

perhaps a cantata, sunrise services, and a prayer breakfast on 

the day before. Easter hymns will be sung, like “Up From the 

Grave He Arose.” 

But for Eastern Orthodox Christians, Easter will be celebrated 

a week later on April 28th. What is more, Easter is known only 

as “Pascha,” which is the ancient Greek Christian word for 

“Passover.” 

Perhaps for others, Christmas may be the chief celebration of 

the entire year. But in Orthodoxy, Pascha reigns supreme. It is 

the “Feast of Feasts,” and shines like the sun throughout the 

entire Church Year. 

In fact, every single Divine Liturgy (our word for “Mass,” or 

“morning worship service”) is rooted in Pascha. And the only 

reason why all Christians (not just Orthodox) worship on 

Sunday morning is because Sunday is the Day of the Resurrection. 

Saturday, the “seventh day” or the Sabbath, is the day 

of rest, but the Lord’s Day is mystically known as the “Eighth 

Day,” the day of Resurrection that transcends and shines into 

all space and time. 

Eastern Orthodoxy is truly and thoroughly a Paschal religion. 

St Gregory the Theologian, a fourth century bishop of Constantinople 

(now known as Istanbul in Turkey), once delivered 

these beautiful, glorious words on Easter Day many years ago. 

They continue to grow in power and poetry: 

The Lord’s Pascha, Pascha, and again I will say Pascha, to 

the honor of the Trinity. It is to us the feasts of feasts, and the 

festival of festivals, as far exalted above all — not only for 

those who are merely human and crawl on the ground but also 

for those who are of Christ himself and are celebrated for him 

— as the sun is above the stars. Beautiful indeed yesterday 

[i.e., the night between Holy Friday and Holy Saturday] were 

our splendid array and procession of lights, in which we were 

united both privately and publicly, almost every sort of people 

and every rank, lighting up the night with plentiful fires. This is 

a symbol of the great light, both the heavenly light that makes 

fires from above … and equally the light above the heavens 

… in the Trinity, by which every light has been produced, 

divided off from the undivided light and honored. Yet today is 

more beautiful and more illustrious, inasmuch as yesterday’s 

light was a forerunner of the great light’s rising, and as it were 

a kind of pre-festal gladness. But today we celebrate the 

resurrection itself, not as still hoped for but as having already 

occurred and gathering the whole world to itself. (Oration 45) 

If you ever get a chance, come and visit an Orthodox Church 

on Pascha (this year on April 28th). You’ll feel the joy and see 

glory. 

And when you hear, over and over again, the glad words 

“Christ is Risen!,” you will naturally and joyfully respond, “He is 

Risen Indeed!”

Habitat for Humanity is a Christian ministry 

answering the call of the gospel to respond 

to our neighbors in need. What better partners 

could we have than local churches? Actively pursuing 

and nurturing partnerships with churches 

helps us fulfill our mission of demonstrating the 

love and teachings of Jesus Christ. 

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity would like 

to establish better partnerships with the many 

churches in Pasquotank County because we 

believe that working together, we can help more 

members of our community. 

The Church Relations Committee helps build 

these relationships in several ways: 

Speaking to churches about ECHFH to establish 

working relationships before a build 

Recruiting church members to volunteer at 

build sites as well as serving on our board and 

committees 

Communicating with congregations through 

church bulletins and announcements 

Arranging meeting places and church sponsors 

for lunches during a build 

Coordinating delivery of food and clean-up after 

meals 

Contacting churches to solicit housewarming 

gifts for partner families (dishes, linens, knitted/ 

crocheted items) 

In addition, the Church Relations Committee solicits 

church sponsorships of builds. These can 

be donations to sponsor a specific room in the 

house or a specific part of the project (kitchen 

cabinets, electrical supplies, paint supplies, etc.). 

Churches attended by partner families are especially 

encouraged to participate with lunches, 

monetary donations and volunteers for build. 

Many of these tasks are build-specific (preparing 

meals) but generally only require a few hours to 

complete. Some can be done from home, such 

as calling churches to arrange for a meeting 

place of lunch or to solicit housewarming gifts. 

If you are interested in working on the Church 

Relations Committee, contact Jane Elfring,

Sneak Peak of Upcoming Programs 

by Charlotte M. Patterson, Education Curator 

Museum of the Albemarle 

Museum staff were certainly not hibernating during these past winter 

months. History for Lunch and Tot Time resumed, a number of 

exhibits opened, and multiple special programs were presented. Now 

that spring is rolling around, we’ll see all new programs and exhibits. 

Biscuits, Tractors, and Chickens, on April 5 and 6, will educate visitors 

about the rich agricultural history of the Albemarle region. The program’s 

major attractions include the Teeny Tiny Farm traveling petting 

zoo, sponsored by the North Carolina Museum of History Associates, 

and Out ‘n the Cold band, crafters, antique tractors, and such experiences 

as churning butter and rolling dough. 

Summer at MOA will be filled with programs for the kiddies, beginning 

with Summer Fun Days on June 12 and July 17 and At the Movies! For 

Kids screenings on June 20 and July 25. In addition, we will offer two 

one-day camps: All About Pirates! for ages 5 through 8 on July 22 and 

Digging Deep into the Past for ages 9 through 12 on July 25. 

Ready for a sneak peek into fall and winter? Programs will include our 

History for Lunch series every first Wednesday of each month and Tot 

Time on the second Thursday of each month. Walk for Hunger with 

Food Bank of the Albemarle returns to Sunday on October 13—please 

come out and support hunger-relief efforts that assist those facing food 

insecurity in northeast North Carolina. We’ll then round out the year 

with Designers’ Workshop: Deck Those Halls on November 16 and 

the Gingerbread Workshop on December 6. Our annual Holiday Open 

House is scheduled for December 7 and will have a new theme for 

2019 (watch out for the Grinch to take over MOA).

How I Found Peace of Mind Today by Planning for Tomorrow 

Like filing tax returns or giving public speeches, planning 

a funeral can be a source of anxiety and procrastination. 

Perhaps it’s uncertainty, concern over talking 

with a spouse, or denial because everything seems fine. 

Growing up in a family funeral business you might say it 

was easy to plan a funeral for my husband and myself. 

Call it strange, but there were always people conversing 

in the front room underneath my house discussing burial 

plots, casket styles, and music for church services. It 

seemed normal and commonplace. 

After having children, pre-planning a funeral over a 20 

minute after-dinner discussion gave me peace of mind 

and relief. The charities and faith-based organizations 

my husband and I are passionate about were included 

as well so they continue to fund themselves and make 

an impact. 

I want others to experience the empowerment of planning 

ahead so they can operate confidently from a state 

of abundance while enjoying their family. 

“The difference is night and day when you are working 

with a family who already has it said and done,” said 

Sherry Meads, manager of West Lawn Cemetery, Elizabeth 

City. 

West Lawn Cemetery offers burial, cremation, and 

entombment for families and individuals. They currently 

intern 900 veterans. 

“You can come out and say exactly where you want it,” 

Sherry notes. 

“Someone’s going to have to plan it. You can make it 

clear to your family.” 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 

Reserving a plot and pre-paying are safe starting points 

even if you are unclear of your final wishes or where your 

children will settle down. If you are planning for burial 

but decide to be cremated later, there are options to 

accommodate your wishes. For example, your ashes 

may be scattered in a personalized memorial garden or 

a commemorative bench can house cremains of multiple 

family members. 

Saving money and conserving emotional energy provides 

your loved ones with space to properly grieve. 

According to Kirk Rivers of Beach Rivers Funeral Service 

of Elizabeth City and Virginia Beach, the average funeral 

cost is $10,150. 

If children are not financially prepared and must draw 

from savings, an estate sale, or another family member, 

they may overlook important details conveying a parent’s 

significance and legacy. 

Instead of feeling strained and overwhelmed, the proper 

insurance plan fulfills your responsibility to yourself and 

those you care about most. Yo may already have insurance 

that hasn’t been recently reviewed or updated. 

Or you may not have considered the impact of another family member’s 

premature death. 

You can feel empowered to take control of the unknown, begin the 

difficult conversations, and set the example for your family. 

For a complimentary planning guide to organize and coordinate 

your family’s next steps, please contact Laura Bush Jenkins of TWS 

Financial Brokers personally at (315) 225-6984.

Native American Traditions: Music & Dance Festival 

The nature trail at the Frisco Native American Museum & 

Natural History Center will echo with the haunting music of 

drums when Native Journeys Music & Dance Festival takes 

place on April 27 and 28, 2019. Natives and visitors will travel 

to the beautiful wind-swept shores of Hatteras Island for a 

weekend of music, dancing, story telling, demonstrations, 

crafts, native food, and much, MUCH more! 

On both Saturday and Sunday, there will be multiple activities 

taking place every hour. Visitors will have an opportunity to 

make their own rattle and use it in the dance circle, to have 

their faces “tattooed” with removable ink, talk with a story teller, 

play a Native American flute, share the elders’ circle, see dance 

demonstrations - including the hula with Ha Aheo O Hawai, 

Other sessions will include information on the natives of Hatteras 

Island, Native languages, the impact of Native American 

music in popular culture, and techniques for making Yaupon 

tea, herbs. 

“The festival also offers an opportunity for natives with ties to 

the early Hatterask tribe to actually ‘journey home’ said Bornfriend. 

“For others, the ‘journey’ will be made in their hearts as 

by: Joyce Bornfriend 

they experience the beauties of the legendary Outer Banks. 

But regardless of heritage, the soft island sand with its thick 

carpet of green grass offers a wonderful cushion for dancing 

and making new friends.” 

Activities will begin at 10 am both days. Admission fees: Children 

under 5 Free; Seniors and School age Children $3; Adults 

$5; Special Family Rate:$15. 

Located on Hatteras Island, the museum is open 10:30

six days a week schedule will resume on April 16, 2019. For

Springtime Meal 

By Rosie Hawthorne 

Wave 

It's not just another wave, 

don’t know about you, but I’m ready for spring. I’m ready for lighter 

I meals and fresh vegetables. Every year I look forward to the first 

spears of asparagus in my garden and I’ve ear-marked them for a light, 

yet filling, quiche. The quiche makes for a simple and satisfying meal and 

I’ve topped it off with an effortless citrus pie that’s as easy as … well, pie. 

Asparagus Quiche 

1 pie crust 

1 ½ cups skim milk 

1 cup heavy cream 

6 eggs, room temperature 

½ tsp kosher salt 

¼ tsp freshly ground pepper 

⅛ tsp freshly grated nutmeg 

1 dozen asparagus spears 

1 TB unsalted butter 

1 cup sliced mushrooms 

½ cup chopped onion 

2 cups spinach, stemmed and chopped 

6 strips bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled (optional) 

3 oz. diced Swiss cheese 

2 oz. grated Monterey Jack cheese 

Parmesan cheese, grated 

In a medium skillet over medium high heat, melt the 

butter. Add in the mushroom slices and sauté about 2 

minutes, then add the onion and cook another minute, 

stirring. Add in the spinach leaves, stir, and remove from 

heat, letting spinach wilt. 

Beat eggs until frothy, then beat in milk and cream. (You 

could use whole milk, but I never have that on hand, so 

I always use what I do have - a combination of skim and 

cream.) Stir in salt, pepper, and nutmeg. 

it's an experience.

occasional travelogue, please visit

Citrus Pie 

1 sleeve saltine crackers 

½ sleeve Ritz crackers 

1 stick unsalted butter 

3 TB sugar 

Heat oven to 350°. 

Read More at: 

outerbankswave.com 

Crush crackers in a processor. Stir in sugar, then 

knead in the butter until the crumbs just hold together. 

Press into an 8-inch pie pan and refrigerate for 

15 minutes. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until crust 

starts to color. Let crust cool a bit. 

1 can (14-oz.) sweetened condensed milk 

4 egg yolks 

Zest of one lime 

½ cup lemon and lime juice (I used 3 lemons and 1 

lime for the juice.) 

Beat yolks one at a time into condensed milk, then 

beat in lime and lemon juice and zest. Pour into 

prepared shell and bake 12 minutes. 

2 egg whites, room temperature 

¼ tsp cream of tartar 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

2 TB sugar 

While the pie is baking, beat whites with cream of 

tartar until soft peaks form. Beat in vanilla and sugar 

until stiff peaks form. Remove pie from oven and 

decoratively swirl meringue over top, spreading to 

edges. Return to oven and bake 6 more minutes 

so filling will set. Remove from oven. If meringue 

needs more browning, run pie under a 450° broiler 

for a couple of minutes or use a cooking torch to 

finish it off. 

Chill pie before slicing. 

For the pie crust, you can make your own, but I like quick 

and easy, so I’m using a rolled-up refrigerated crust. (I 

don’t recommend the frozen crusts.) Place crust in a 

9-inch deep dish pie dish and crimp pastry around the 

edges. Place diced Swiss on the bottom and then spoon 

in mushroom/onion/spinach mixture. If you like, you could 

add in the optional bacon crumbles here. Pour in the 

custard mixture and sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese 

on top. Prepare the asparagus spears by snapping the 

spear where it naturally breaks off, then halve each spear. 

Arrange spears in the quiche and grate a light covering of 

Parmesan cheese over top. 

Bake in a 350° oven for about 70 minutes. Check after 20 

minutes and cover edges if they’re starting to brown too 

much. Remove from oven and let quiche sit for at least 

15 minutes before slicing. 

If you like, add some sliced strawberries.

“You found my blockage in my sunroof drains in 10

me $90 and sent me home, saying sorry you 

couldn’t help me. Thank you for being so thorough 

and performed the maintence that got them draining! 

Love that you are mobile.and came right to my 

driveway, awesome!” 

“A few weeks ago I was visiting from out of town 

and had a leak in my car. Originally the tech told 

me he’d need a few days to diagnose and fix the 

problem, but I wasn’t planning on staying that long. 

Once I explained my situation, he immediately 

looked at my car and fixed the leak in just about 

a minute - and didn’t charge me for it. Thank you, 

Walt’s Water Works for showing me compassion 

when I was in a tough spot!” 

“So I had a leak in my 2012 Jeep Wrangler and 

took it to the dealership to see a auto specialist to 

try and diagnose where my leak was coming from 

but their specialist was out of town on vacation so 

they sent me to Walt’s waterworks and let me tell 

you! A guy named Sean helped me and gave me 

tips on exactly what I need to do free of charge!

Making Sense Of Cryptocurrencies 

(NAPSI)—Social and traditional media have been 

abuzz with articles and information about the rising 

phenomenon of digital currencies. But what does it all 

mean and should you buy in? 

What Is Cryptocurrency? 

Cryptocurrency, or simply crypto, is one type of digital 

currency. Cryptocurrencies are distinct from “fiat 

currencies” such as the dollar, euro or yen. Unlike fiat 

currencies, crypto isn’t represented or organized by 

physical paper units or coins. Rather, each unit is a 

unique alphanumeric string of computer code. 

Also, cryptocurrencies are not issued by a central 

bank. Instead, they are controlled by technology that 

determines how many units are produced and how 

transactions are recorded. While Bitcoin is one of the 

earliest and most recognized cryptocurrencies, more 

than 1,000 cryptocurrencies currently exist. 

For U.S. federal tax purposes, cryptocurrency is treated 

as property, which means selling or exchanging it 

can have tax consequences. 

Cryptocurrencies and Risk 

Buying, selling and using cryptocurrencies comes with 

numerous risks. 

• In some cases, you can spend and trade crypto, but 

these products are not legal tender in the U.S. and 

most other jurisdictions. No law requires companies or 

individuals to accept crypto as a form of payment. If no 

one accepts a specific cryptocurrency, that crypto will

become worthless. 

• Platforms that buy and sell cryptocurrencies can be 

hacked, and some have failed. Consumers can—and 

have—lost money. 

• Cryptocurrency payments are irreversible. Once you 

complete a transaction, it cannot be reversed. 

Cryptocurrencies and Investing 

All investments come with some degree of risk, and 

cryptocurrencies are no exception. Only invest what 

you can afford to lose and be aware that you may lose 

some or all of your investment. 

Investing in cryptocurrencies can take many forms, 

such as purchasing coins in the hope their value 

increases or buying shares in platforms or companies 

that facilitate blockchain technology and other aspects 

of the cryptocurrency revolution in the hope they 

succeed. 

Another way to invest is through an Initial Coin Offering, 

or ICO. An ICO is a way for companies to raise 

money that involves the creation and sale of digital 

tokens. A certain number of these tokens are sold to 

investors in exchange for other cryptocurrencies or fiat 

currencies like the dollar. 

As with any new industry or concept, be alert for fraud, 

which has occurred in both ICO and direct currency 

purchases. Pump-and-dump scams are a potential risk 

with some crypto-related stocks, particularly those that 

do not list on a major exchange such as the NYSE or 

It is not my fault that certain 

so-called bohemian 

elements have found in my 

writings something to hang 

their peculiar beatnik 

theories on. 

Nasdaq. 

Crypto Takeaways 

Cryptocurrencies and the technologies that 

power them may hold great potential for 

legitimate innovations in capital raising and 

financial markets. But it can be a challenge 

for investors to verify information about these 

products to make informed decisions. There 

are also major questions about how these 

currencies are regulated both domestically 

and across the globe. 

The markets for cryptocurrencies continue to 

display high levels of volatility, and involve speculative 

risk and the potential for fraud. Speculators have been 

drawn to cryptocurrencies as a way to make a quick 

profit. But like any speculative investment, you can 

lose money. 

And even when legitimate companies flock to a hot, 

new sector, fraudsters almost always follow suit. Look 

out for guarantees, unregistered products, claims of 

overly consistent returns, complex strategies, missing 

documentation, account discrepancies and pushy 

salespeople. All are red flags of potential fraud. Use 

FINRA BrokerCheck® to check the registration status 

of, and additional information about, the people and 

firms that tout these opportunities.

Smartmouth Brewery: Bringing their brand to the beach! 

By: James H. Brown 

Since 2012, Smartmouth has helped shape 

the Hampton Roads craft beer scene 

with unique styles, quality ingredients and an 

emphasis on flavor over flash. No gimmicks, 

no funny business, just an appreciation for 

well-crafted beer and a desire to share it with 

others. Today, they distribute a variety of beers 

throughout the state of Virginia, in addition to 

serving our local community with locations in 

both Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Their Norfolk 

facility is the primary location for brewing, 

packaging and distributing their beers while 

the Pilot House in Virginia Beach offers additional 

private event space, a tasting room and 

a small-batch brewery system for making more 

unique and experimental beers. While the craft 

brewery scene is booming now, Smartmouth 

was one of the first ones to make it here, and 

they continue to show why they are one of the 

best in the game! 

Something in the Water: April 26-28 

By: James H. Brown 

Pharrell Williams is going back to his roots and bringing an awesome event 

to the Virginia Beach area, the likes of which it has never seen! “Something 

in the water” is a huge concert event that will rival any other across the 

country. A few tickets are still on sale for your chance to see the likes of Pharrell 

Williams, Snoop Dogg, Migos, Missy Elliot, Dave Matthews Band, ASAP 

Ferg, and Pusha T to name a few! The event will take place at the oceanfront 

in Virginia Beach and will mark the first time something like this has ever come 

to this area! Virginia Beach has had a less than stellar history of having our 

“beach college weekend” during that same weekend in which shootings have 

happened. Pharrell wants to change that and inspire people to come together 

with music. There will also be a prayer service as well. This is a can’t miss 

event! Get your tickets at ticketmaster.com

James H. Brown III- Hampton Road’s newest thriller 

author. Who doesn’t love a good thriller? 

A thrilling story that can take a person through a myriad 

of emotions, tug at their heartstrings, scare them to death, 

and make them slightly uncomfortable. That’s what a good 

thriller is all about. James Henry Brown III has written two 

must-read thrillers: The Gladds and The Gladds Part II. 

This story will force a person to ask themselves a question: 

How far would you need to be pushed for revenge? 

That is the first question that our main characters are faced 

with. The second one is, if you do take revenge, what will be 

left of you when it is all said and done? What scars would

President Andrew Jackson is Censured 

In 1834, President Andrew Jackson is censured by the U.S. Senate. 

“[W]e should not be at all surprised,” one columnist scoffed at the time, “if he attempted to 

dissolve the present Congress—at least the Senatorial branch, which, by refusing to register 

all his imperial edicts, has become extremely offensive to His Majesty!” 

At the root of the quarrel was a disagreement about the Second Bank of the United States. 

Jackson believed the quasi-public bank to be unconstitutional, and he worked to have it 

ended. But many Congressmen did not share the President’s views. And they hoped to use 

the issue to put the President in a difficult spot. Thus, Congress passed a bill authorizing 

the bank’s re-charter, just as Jackson was running for re-election in 1832. Surely Jackson 

wouldn’t veto a bill extending the bank’s charter—not during a presidential election year? 

Except he did veto it. And then he got re-elected! Jackson viewed the sequence as a 

mandate to continue what he’d begun. The bank charter might not expire until 1836, but he 

would start removing public funds from the bank in the meantime. 

Jackson had just one problem. He needed the help of Treasury Secretary Louis McLane, 

who refused to comply. So Jackson replaced McLane with another man, William John 

Duane. Can you believe that Duane refused to help Jackson, too? Undeterred, Jackson 

fired Duane, replacing him with Roger Taney. Perhaps even more daringly, Jackson used a 

recess appointment to get Taney into office. Taney immediately began moving the funds. 

by Tara Ross 

On April 15, Jackson returned his own scathing message. He believed that the censure was 

unconstitutional. If Congress wanted to act against the Executive, then it should impeach 

him and hold a trial—a trial in which he would have a right to defend himself. The President, 

Jackson wrote, “has been by a majority of his constitutional triers accused and found guilty 

of an impeachable offense, but in no part of this proceeding have the directions of the Constitution 

been observed.” 

One Democrat from Missouri urged that the matter be expunged from the Senate journals. 

Others worried that expunging a portion of the journal was, in and of itself, a worrisome 

precedent. Shouldn’t the journal reflect reality? It took nearly three years, but the Senate 

eventually voted, 24-19, to expunge the matter from the record. It would do so by drawing 

“black lines round the said resolve, and write across the face thereof, in strong letters, the 

following words: ‘Expunged by order of the Senate, this 16th day of January, in the year of 

our Lord 1837.” 

Senators watched as the change was made, immediately after the vote. “No sooner had this 

been done,” the Register of Debates records, “than hisses, loud and repeated, were heard 

from various parts of the gallery.” 

Wow. Can you imagine the scene? 

Congress was furious and demanded notes from Jackson’s cabinet discussions. (Jackson 

refused.) One Senator filed a resolution to censure the President. A debate over that motion 

raged for weeks! Finally, on March 28, the Senate passed a resolution censuring the President 

who, “in the late Executive proceedings in relation to the public revenue, has assumed 

upon himself authority and power not conferred by the Constitution and laws, but in derogation 

of both.”

Modern Monetary Theory Is a Recipe for Hyperinflation 

he latest fashion that’s captured the political left is Modern 

T Monetary Theory (MMT). Once a quiet idea resting in the annals 

of academia, it is now taken up by the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 

and Bernie Sanders’s adviser, Stephanie Kelton. It’s still 

an unpopular theory among economists—and for good reason. 

MMT extrapolates from a series of accounting identities with 

reckless abandon. By leveraging America’s infinite ability to print its 

own currency, MMTers think they can sidestep the need to balance 

budgets. They are wrong. Modern Monetary Theory is one of those 

ideas that mathematically holds together but utterly fails once 

you’ve incorporated actual economics. 

How Monetary Policy Now Works 

To understand how MMT fails, it’s important to understand how it 

should work, beginning with the system it yearns to replace: conventional 

monetary policy. 

Here’s how monetary policy works now. If a central bank, such as 

the US Federal Reserve (the Fed), thinks interest rates should be 

lower to encourage economic growth, it creates money at the push 

of the button. It uses this newly created money to buy government 

bonds from private banks. These banks, now flush with cash, are 

willing to lend at a lower interest rate, encouraging consumption and 

investment. 

If the central bank fears inflation because there’s too much money 

in the system, it sells government bonds to banks and deletes the 

money it collects. It should be noted that figuring out how much 

money to create or delete in order to achieve the delicate balance of 

stable prices and economic growth is very difficult. 

Money, Money Everywhere 

MMT transfers these difficult monetary decisions to Congress. 

The Fed still creates money, but Congress, by passing legislation, 

determines how much they create. New money doesn’t flow through 

banks but through the recipients of various spending programs. 

Inflation is the natural concern of all this money creation, and 

MMTers have an answer: taxes. In the MMT world, taxes are not 

used to raise money for future spending. Taxes are used to destroy 

money to balance out previous spending. Tax revenue collected is 

money deleted. 

By: David Youngberg 

Politicians have little incentive to restrain spending. Spending 

generates political benefits in the short-term (before the election) at 

a long-term cost (after the election). There’s an endless number of 

ways to spend money and, as evidenced by persistent government 

deficits, every incentive for politicians to fulfill those requests. It 

would be naïve to assume that politicians will restrain their spending 

even if they know they should. They already don’t. 

Nor is there reason to assume politicians will raise taxes to balance 

their spending. Taxes remain wildly unpopular; their presence can 

even derail support for popular policies. For example, support for 

Medicare-for-All plummets when pollsters note that it could come 

with higher taxes. Taxes to fight the distant and abstract concept of 

inflation will surely be even less popular. Why would any politician 

increase taxes to fight a problem voters have trouble even acknowledging? 

Even if an MMT regime reliably used taxes to fight inflation, it would 

be completely impractical. The Fed meets eight times a year to 

evaluate how it should adjust the growth of the money supply. An 

MMT government would have to do something similar about its 

taxes and spending. 

We would never stop talking about taxes. The 2017 tax reform took 

months to negotiate and incorporated a menagerie of conflicting 

interests, each pulling the tax code to a preferred policy outcome. 

Expecting lawmakers to also carefully consider how much money 

they’re leaving in the economy is ludicrous. 

The myopic attitude of politicians is why strong economies establish 

central bank independence. Countries that subject the power to 

printing money to political pressure inevitably create price instability. 

Under Modern Monetary Theory, we will end up with the same 

result we have now—spending will far outstrip taxes—but now with 

hyperinflation. 

There Is No Infinite Power to Tax 

Even if somehow the political will to use taxes to offset spending is 

achieved, the government’s infinite ability to create is not matched 

by an infinite ability to destroy. Taxes are avoidable, something Canada 

has recently re-discovered, so the government’s ability to reduce 

the money supply through taxes is actually quite constrained. 

the rich, politicians will be forced to fight inflation with higher taxes 

for everyone else, threatening to cancel out the benefits government 

spending sought to impart. 

Just like the rich, everyone else will respond accordingly. Voters 

will demand more spending, and special interests will want tax 

exemptions. Even more than it does now, federal spending will 

epitomize Bastiat’s insightful description of government: “the great 

fiction through which everyone endeavors to live at the expense of 

everyone else.” Spending will be high. Tax revenue destruction will 

be low. Inflation, and then hyperinflation, will follow. 

A House (and Senate) of Cards 

Modern Monetary Theory advocates argue governments have monetary 

policy exactly backward. Taxes don’t fund spending, they say. 

Spend first and use taxes to fix it later. 

They forget that tax revenue doesn’t fund spending now, as 

evidenced by persistent government deficits. If taxes can’t offset 

spending when politicians are supposedly constrained, taxes won’t 

offset spending when politicians are explicitly handed the power of 

the printing press. Implementing MMT—even seriously discussing 

implementing MMT—would create a disaster that no plumber could 

fix, drowning us all in a tidal wave of hyperinflation. 

David Youngberg is an associate professor of economics at Montgomery 

College in Rockville, MD. 

In an interview with NPR, Kelton likens the economy to a sink. 

The money supply is like water flowing from the faucet, which, in 

the MMT world, is spending. If there’s too much water, the sink 

overflows (inflation), but have no fear: the government’s ability to tax 

is like the drain. As long as money flowing in from the faucet is balanced 

by money flowing out through the drain, there’s no inflation. 

The result is limitless funding with no downside. 

If you think that’s too good to be true, you’re right. Once you’ve 

considered actual incentives, it’s clear that implementing Modern 

Monetary Theory doesn’t avoid the (hyper)inflation problem at all. 

The Faucet Is Stuck, and the Drain Is Clogged 

There’s a reason modern economies establish a firewall between 

their elected officials and their central bank: printing money to fund 

spending is much more politically tempting than raising that money 

with taxes. 

High taxes generate little revenue because high taxes reduce the 

incentive to do whatever is taxed. It’s much like how high prices 

reduce revenue by discouraging customers. A high income tax 

discourages working, a high sales tax discourages buying, and 

a high capital gains tax discourages investment. High taxes can 

even move activity to the untaxable informal sector, a phenomenon 

common in underdeveloped countries. There’s a limit to how much 

money the government can tax out of the economy. 

Consider taxes on the rich, which are typically the most popular 

kind. The rich don’t need additional income as much as the poor, 

which is both the reason people like taxing them and why taxing 

them doesn’t raise much revenue. The rich can most easily retire 

early, turn down work, and demand forms of non-monetary (and 

thus untaxable) compensation. You can’t balance unlimited spending 

by only taxing groups that are best at avoiding taxes. 

Since you can’t balance unrestrained money creation by only taxing 


Jakes Outdoor Adventures 

As many of you remember I repowered my Parker 2501 

Center Console nearly two years ago with a pair of 

Evinrude 225 High Output G2 engines, replacing the pair of 

Yamaha 225 Four Strokes engines. After experiencing two 

summers of fishing, I can tell you I am very satisfied with the 

transition from 4 stroke to 2 stroke motors. The debate of 2 

stroke versus 4 stroke engines can be discussed just like 

“which came first the chicken or the egg”, but until you actually 

experience both you really cannot fully understand some 

of the major differences. One of the main reasons I switched 

wasbecause I no longer had to pull the boat out of the water 

every 100 hours and perform a 100 hour service. Having to 

do this would cost me a couple of days off the water. With 

the Evinrude G2, your don’t have to have to perform any 

service on the motor until 500 hours! Think about how much 

time and travel you will save not having to pull the boat out 

of the water having it serviced every 100 hours. 

Another bonus I see in these engines is the increased power 

and torque they have. I fish out of Oregon Inlet and Hatteras 

Inlet and everyone knows these inlets can be somewhat 

dangerous and challenging at times. Evinrude’s two stroke 

power advantage helps me stay on plane and gives me the 

power to manage the heavy currents and seas I experience 

while crossing the bar. Also the ease of throttling the engines 

from higher to lower speeds helps me manage those wave 

sets that vary in spacing and size. Once out of the inlet, I 

get to experience the fuel efficiency of the Evinrude G2 by 

burning less fuel as I head to the Gulf Stream which is about 

40 miles away. 

Another advantage I have experienced is the Evinrude 

ICON electronic controls. I have them not only on the lower 

console but also in the tower. In May and early June, I Cobia 

fish and there are days that Cobia can be very skittish and 

shy. One thing that has helped me put fish in the boat is 

not only the quietness of the engines, but the smoothness 

and the extreme quietness of shifting out of gear where 

the fish do not hear it. My previous controls and engines 

slammed in and out of gear and caused me to miss casting 

at fish because they were spooked and dove to the bottom. I 

contribute my successful 2018 Cobia season to my engines 

because they operate in a stealth mode and rarely give me 

away when I approach them free swimming on top of the 

water. 

As good as any motor is they are only as good as the 

dealer that services them. My dealer is Causeway Marina in 

Elizabeth City, and they make sure my motors run at peak 

performance. If you are thinking about repowering in the 

near future, contact them and discuss the costs and advantages 

of the Evinrude Etec G2 versus the other companies’ 

4 stroke motors. 


Northeast North Carolina Family History – when snail mail was just the thing… 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

few years ago the United States Post Office in downtown 

A Elizabeth City closed much to the dismay of many residents 

and businesses. There is a wonderful website of the North 

Carolina History Society where you can read all the names of 

the various county post offices, their post masters and cancelled 

postmarks for those sites that are available. This society formed 

in 1982 to ‘promote, study, and educate the public about North 

Carolina Postal History.’ To ease your search I have included 

links for the site for some local counties.

www.ncpostalhistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/PostmarkCatalog_camden_county-20130425.pdf 

Why the interest? I was checking Ancestry.com for any recent 

information on one of my husband’s 3rd great grandfathers, 

Thomas Guard Munden when a record popped up that he had 

been the postmaster at Currituck Court House from 2 November 

1866 until 31 January 1875. Well that was news to me 

and added another relative to our Currituck’s postmaster list. 

A great-grandfather, William H. Hampton was postmaster in 

Waterlily from March 1893 until December of 1915 when his son 

Arthur took over. His sister-in-law my husband’s grandmother 

Lily Sanderlin Hampton was briefly postmistress from July 1937 

until that post office was discontinued and the mail was sent 

to Coinjock in 1938. Her father Solomon Baum Sanderlin, as I 

have mentioned in the past was the Corolla postmaster from August 

1924 until September of 1935. Albert B. Hampton put in an 

amazing stretch in Aydlett from June of 1908 until his retirement 

at the end of August 1953. 

A little bit of history about the United States Postal Service. You 

may be aware that Benjamin Franklin was appointed the first 

postmaster general in 1775 to offer an alternative to the Crown 

Post. The post office was officially created by an Act of Congress 

in 1792. By 1869 there were 27,000 local post offices 

with mail being sorted in specialized railroad cars en route to 

their destinations. The cars were known as RPOs or Railway 

Post Offices and workers were regularly checked for speed and 

efficiency. The first official postal stamps were sold on 1 July 

1847. The image of Benjamin Franklin graced the five cent 

stamp that would take a letter weighing less than an ounce up to 

300 miles. For ten cents your communication could travel over 

300 miles with George Washington’s likeness accompanying it. 

Over the years Camden County has had 17 post offices: Bartlett, 

Borum, Bray, Belcross, Camden Court House and Camden, 

Cross Canal, Geneva, Indian Town, Jonesburg, Lilly, New Lebanon, 

New Mills, Old Trap, Riddle, Ship Yard, Shiloh and South 

Mills. Jonesburg and New Lebanon were both created in 1797 

with New Lebanon moving to Pasquotank in 1839 and Jonesburg 

becoming Camden Court House. 

Pasquotank has had 20 post offices: Elisha, Fauna, Elizabeth 

City, Elizabeth City Court House, Hazen, Hintonsville, Kehukee, 

Mumford, Naval Air Station, New Lebanon, Newbegun, Newbegun 

Creek, Nixonton, Okisko, Pasquotank, Poolville, Rose 

Dale, Sawyer’s Creek, Walston and Weeksville. Sawyer’s Ferry 

started in 1792 and was discontinued in 1797. 

The winner in post offices is Currituck with 42: Aydlett, Barco, 

Bertha, California, Coinjock, Corner Green, Corner Gum, Corolla, 

Cowells Bridge, Currituck, Currituck Court House, Currituck 

Narrows, Deals, Dey’s Mill, Duck, Grandy, Greentown, Gregory,

longer ways to 

go. But no matter, 

the road is life. 



Dr. Bald recently gave a presentation to the Elizabeth 

City Morning Rotary Club on his volunteer 

work in Uganda and Tanzania. He shared slides and 

stories of multiple surgeries he performed in these 

countries where there are about 30 oral surgeons to 

serve over 50 million people. 

In March Dr. Bald will again be visiting Tanzania. Now, 

in Tanzania, any patient needing anesthesia must go to 

the hospital. During this visit Dr. Bald will train Tanzanian 

oral surgeons to administer anesthesia for minor 

surgeries in medical offices and clinical settings. Dr. 

Bald will present his workshops at the Dental School at 

Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam. 

In the Albemarle Region, Dr. Bald uses modern equipment 

and anesthesia techniques. Our goal is to provide 

excellent care for every patient. Even though Dr. Bald 

has extracted over 350,000 teeth, each patient is an 

individual and every case is unique. 

Our patients have a positive experience! Recent 

patients have commented, “ I would recommend every 

person I know to go there.”; “As soon as I walked in 

I felt very comfortable.”; “The experience was very 

positive, easy, and fast!!!”; “My waiting time was very 

short.”; “I was super afraid of getting my wisdom teeth 

removed. He put my mind at ease.”; “I got in the week 

I called.”; “I really liked Dr. Bald and his staff.”; “Best 

dental appointment ever!”; “Dr. Bald was amazing. He 

talked me through the whole procedure. He was very 

pleasant and positive and funny.” 

Our Elizabeth City location is at 1134 N. Road Street, 

Building 7, near the hospital. We also have an office in 

Nags Head where we do surgeries on Thursdays. We 

offer Saturday appointments in Elizabeth City. At both 

locations we pull teeth AND more.

Earth Day Offers Valuable Lessons to Investors 

On April 22, millions of people will observe Earth Day by participating in 

events that support environmental protection. As a citizen, you may 

want to take part in a local celebration. And as an investor, you can learn a 

few lessons from the themes of Earth Day. 

Here are a few of them: 

• Avoid a toxic investment environment. A recurring topic of Earth Day is 

the necessity of reducing toxins from our air, water and land. And, while 

you might not think of it in those terms, your portfolio can also contain 

some “toxic” elements in the form of investments that may be hindering 

your progress, or, at the very least, not contributing to it. For instance, you 

might own some investments that, for one reason or another, have consistently 

underperformed, or are now too aggressive for your risk tolerance, 

which can change over the years. In these cases, you might be better off 

selling the investments and using the proceeds for other, more appropriate 

ones. 

• Look for sources of renewable energy. Efforts to protect our environment 

include a push for more renewable energy sources, such as solar and 

wind. As an investor, you, too, can look for “renewables” in the form of 

investments that keep paying you back in one way or another. Of course, 

the most basic example would be a bond, which pays you regular interest 

until the bond matures and you get your principal back, provided the issuer 

doesn’t default, which is generally unlikely with an investment-grade bond. 

However, you also may want to consider another type of renewable – dividend-paying 

stocks. By reinvesting these dividends, you can increase the 

number of shares you own – and share ownership is a good way to help

build your portfolio. Some companies have paid, and even increased, their 

dividends many years in a row, but keep in mind they’re not obligated to do 

so. 

• Plant seeds of opportunity. Some Earth Day events involve planting trees 

– many of which won’t be fully grown for decades. When you invest, you 

are planting seeds in the form of investments you hope will grow over the 

years. Of course, you will likely see some volatility along the way, but over 

the long term, investments with strong fundamentals may reward you for 

your patience. 

Apart from these ideas, you also can connect the idea of helping protect 

the environment with investing for your goals. Through socially responsible 

investing, you can screen out investments in companies whose products 

you find objectionable, while supporting businesses whose work you 

believe helps contribute to a better world. And you can find investments, 

such as mutual funds that emphasize social responsibility, whose returns 

are competitive, so you don’t have to sacrifice growth potential for your 

principles. 

In the nearly 50 years since Earth Day celebrations began, we have taken 

steps to improve many aspects of our physical world, although the work 

continues. And by following some of the same techniques, you can improve 

your investment environment, too.

New Life of Currituck 

Do you ever think there were simpler times in the past? As 

I watch things happen in the world around me there are 

times I long for a simple life. If you like rock and roll you might 

remember the song Lynyrd Skynyrd sang called “Be a simple 

man”. Work, school, family and all the other responsibilities 

can overwhelm us as individual’s peace can seem elusive at 

best. Striving takes front and center stage and begins to blur 

the lines of reality. As the lines of reality disappear truth turns 

into compromise and love is diminished. So, are you striving to 

be famous, rich or maybe striving just to be liked or loved? 

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 13 “Love is patient, 

love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not 

arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, 

is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the 

truth.” It really is hard to determine the truth these days, my 

great grandfather used to say that when love is diminished 

the truth disappears. Admitting errors in judgement, wrongs 

and faults are seen today as futile to the detriment of humility 

and personal growth. So, I did some quick research on some 

quotes from our Presidents in the past and was encouraged 

that we have some great people who worked very hard for the 

freedoms that we take for granted. I also was challenged when 

reading them to the point we could use some wise statements 

like this today. Here are a few of those statements. 

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem 

your own reputation; for ‘tis better to be alone than in bad company.” 

George Washington. 

“Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, 

but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and 

without reservation that he is in error.” Andrew Jackson 

“If you always support the correct principles then you will never 

get the wrong results!” Andrew Johnson

Ask ‘Chele 

What you’re Looking for to Enhance Your Health & Relationships 

am newly married and didn’t realize our first year 

I together would be so difficult. My parents were 

divorced and I didn’t have the best examples. How can 

I overcome bumps and roadblocks to set the tone for a 

great future? 

We live in a disposable world where people often think 

they can easily throw their marriage away. But getting 

through tough times involves looking at what’s inside of 

you and realizing you have a mechanism to adapt. 100% 

of what happens to you is in your control and based on 

how you respond. 

I’ve shown others how to recognize their thoughts and 

mold them into character and action that produces positive 

outcomes and lasting relationships in the long term. 

I was married before and am now in a second relationship 

attempting to blend our families. How can I build 

trust with my future stepkids? 

As someone who’s worked as a child care provider, I 

believe it’s important to establish intentional relationships 

with each of the respective children. The new shared 

household is a family unit. 

You and your significant other can establish a dynamic 

where you include one another in family decisions. The 

children must run ideas by both of you for a request to be 

granted. This builds respect for both parents as opposed 

to creating a dynamic with favoritism. 

This is a starting point intended to begin your path on 

the momentum needed to reach your goal. The information

Gates County Rodeo Returns for Action-Packed Family Fun 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 

Whether you are a city slicker or hard-core country 

living enthusiast, come join the fun at the 22nd 

annual Gates County Rodeo, May 10th and 11th. Last 

year’s event was the biggest ever, and you can enjoy a 

national caliber event right here in your own back yard. 

Gates open both nights at 5pm, and the rodeo starts at 

7 30 pm. 

Saturday night will feature Stars and Stripes Drill Team 

of Chesapeake performing a choreographed dance 

routine on horseback. A not-for-profit organization, the 

team’s mission is to promote patriotism within the local 

community and showcase the versatility of the horse 

and rider. 

Reynoldson Baptist Church, Gates County Volunteer 

Fire Department and Rescue Squad, and the local 4H 

group will be present fundraising and sharing their vision 

with the community. 

Sanctioned by the Southern Rodeo Association, the 

event began when founder Aaron Brown opened up his 

personal ranch at 158 Paige Riddick Road alongside a 

loyal group of church friends. A farrier, Aaron competed 

in calf and team-roping as a child and was encouraged 

and coached by his father. 

“My favorite thing about the rodeo is the positive energy 

that just radiates from the stadium,” said Ed White II of 

Starr Motors, the event’s Platinum sponsor. 

22 nd 

The rodeo also welcomes nine-time consecutive “Clown 

of the Year” Dusty Myers. Myers returned from Saudi 

Arabia, entertaining officials in the nation’s first ever 

recent camel festival. Dubbed “the great entertainer” by 

announcer Trey Windhorst of Missouri, Dusty’s energy 

and comedy connect with veteran attendees and newcomers. 

In addition to competitive bull riding, bronc riding, 

calf roping, and barrel racing, attendees can enjoy a 

mechanical bull and children’s pony rides as well as 

equestrian and children’s novelty vendors. 

QSciences 

“We feel pretty fortunate that we can partner with an 

event that has a positive and wholesome attitude toward 

sports. We also really enjoy catching up with some of 

our former customers and making new friends along the 

way.
