Local Realtor & Mold Remediator Help Family Enjoy 

Their Home Instead of Sacrificing their Health 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 

“The house was exactly what the buyer wanted,” recalls 

realtor Charlie Newsome, reflecting back to a track-stopping 

encounter a few year ago. 

The three-story, furnished waterfront home in a prominent 

Currituck community was a dream come true, 

except for one major obstacle. The owner was unable to 

sell the house because everything was covered in mold. 

“It smelled like a fruit stand, and a few leaks caused 

additional heartburn.” 

The buyers persisted, however, and soon the house was 

under contract. They were willing to find a solution, but 

Newsome was skeptical. 

“I knew Harry [Cannon, of Dwelling Management 

Solutions] prior to this, but was not a believer in mold 

remediation,” he stated. 

an independent tester, who verified and quantified a 

significant presence of penicillium. The team at Dwelling 

Management Solutions addressed the issue promptly 

and removed it before closing. 

“I don’t know how Dwelling Management Solutions salvaged 

everything,” said Newsome. “It was a big place, 

with an elevator. However, the amount spent on remediation 

was nothing compared to the big picture.” 

Dwelling Management Solutions specializes in residential 

and commercial mold removal and is a member 

of the Indoor Air Quality Association. It utilizes only 

professional-grade Mold Defender products specifically 

formulated for remediation. 

Owner Harry Cannon is a patent holder with 20 years 

experience educating and protecting the public from the 

damaging effects of mold in our area. 

“Local realtors are talking about the results Dwelling 

Management Solutions is creating as they safely eliminate 

mold from buildings. “

Like many, Newsome thought spraying affected areas 

with bleach would provide a solution. However, unknown 

to most, bleach does not kill or remove mold. It’s 

simply masks the discoloration (see epa.gov/mold.) 

What saved the day was collecting measurements from

Health and Nutrition Strategies For 

Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else 

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

My life’s mission and passion is about mitigating 

cancer, and its effects. When I hear terms like, “I’m 

fighting cancer”, and I’m cancer-free, I’ve wondered what 

it means? A few years ago, when I facilitated a “Man to 

Man” prostate cancer support group we often discussed 

those subjects to develop strategy’s.. It was always 

inconclusive. Here’s my take. 

Fifteen years ago when I was diagnosed, my cancer 

mentor and brother Mel, helped me to understand that 

the best strategy to fight cancer was NOT to cede your 

control of your health. The group agreed and added that 

your medical advisers or team are your hirees..You’re 

buying their services, they’re providing you with their 

expertise and options, You are the decider. 

The support group also thought it imperative to have 

a Comprehensive Treatment Center’s opinion as part 

of your decision making process, either as your primary 

source of information, or for a second opinion. Comprehensive 

cancer treatment centers (there are 70 in the 

U.S.). They are the best providers to determine the most 

effective strategy for you. That might be radiation, chemical, 

hormonal, immune or watch and wait observation, 

their opinion will inform your local provider. 

I chose John’s Hopkins (Sidney Kimmel Clinic) for my 

cancer team, because of their propensity toward a 

dietary-link based strategy, and their easy commute. I 

tested their dietary assertion by participating in a phase 

one and two clinical trial testing muscadine grape skin 

capsules. It controlled my cancer for over two years. 

I’m convinced. Cancer cells are tricky, their strategy is 

to mutate and adjust. Your challenge is to counter that 

adjustment with your own adjustment. My strategy to defeat 

their adjustment is by using food.. To me that means 

strengthening your immune system. Strengthening your 

immune system means strengthening your diet.

Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point)

As far as ‘the term “cancer-free”, I’ve never been an 

advocate or understood how the term got into use. It’s a 

misnomer. A surgeon might say he removed a lesion or 

tumor and announce “I got it all”. 

Cancer cells are microscopic. So you got microscopic 

maverick cells in your bloodstream looking for weaknesses 

and ways to evade your immune system. In our toxic, 

carcinogen laden environment, everyone has cancer cells 

at some level. Nobody is cancer free,it’s just non-detectable. 

Next month I’ll be 80 years, and I’ll be developing strategies 

for the next 3 years. I’m beginning an adventure 

in a 62 and older community (Overture,VB) . My new 

neighborhood provides enough food options to optimize 

my diet, to levels I’ve never approached. I have access to 

products like impossible (vegan) burgers, and nondairy 

cheese. I’m thinking about alternating a modified Mediterranean 

with a vegetarian diet, and monitor my blood 

work which I do quarterly. Medicare and a supplement 

will cover the cost. 

Finally, I thought I should recognize “The Green Bronx 

Machine” as a top ten Health and Wellness program in 

the country. These are inner city kids growing food and 

exporting their expertise all over the world. 

Food, must be focused on to mitigate the effects of our 

increasingly polluted environment. 

Before we get into that, I wanted to give a shout out to my 

cancer mentor, and brother Mel who helped me formulate 

strategies and perspectives to manage my cancer. . 

As far as “cancer free” is concerned, I’ve never been an 

advocate or understood the terminology.

Watercress -The Nose Twister 

by: Coy Domecq 

The watercress (Nasturtium officinale) is found throughout 

the United States growing in shallow moving fresh 

water. The aquatic watercress was introduced to the 

US from Europe and Asia. Before we get too far, please 

do not be misled by the genus category of this plant 

with the land-based flower by the same common name 

nasturtium. The flower was named after the aquatic plant 

because of the similarity in botanical oils both plants 

produce. 

Watercress has the distinction of being one of the oldest 

known leaf vegetables consumed by humans. It was a 

staple food for Roman soldiers and Hippocrates, known 

as the father of medicine, used the plant to treat patients 

for a range of medical conditions. 

“Midway have it your way with prestige, 

trustworthy repair from bumper to bumper." 

“We can do any Auto Repair” 

$54.95 for a synthetic oil change 

$34.95 for a regular oil change 

The nutritional benefits of watercress are significant and 

many. It is a member of the cruciferous family that enjoys 

such better-known healthful members as cabbage, broccoli 

and kale. One cup of watercress contains more than 

one hundred percent of the USRDA of vitamin K. The 

plant is superior to spinach for dietary iron it provides. It is 

noteworthy for the levels of vitamins A and C it contains, 

the beneficial effect of lowering blood pressure, and it 

demonstrates a positive role of minimizing the side effects 

of cancer treatments. 

Uncooked watercress has a distinct peppery taste that 

adds culinary interest to salads and soups as a garnish. 

Roughly translated, nasturtium means “nose twister”. It 

once enjoyed great favor as part of the working person’s 

diet and then migrated to the tea party crowd in the form 

of watercress sandwiches. When cooked, it is a versatile 

ingredient that is featured in soup, pesto, pizza, deviled 

eggs, and as a lettuce substitute in BLTs or your favorite 

wrap. 

“Desperation is the raw 

material of drastic change. 

Only those who can leave 

behind everything they 

have ever believed in can 

hope to escape. ”

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

Home Owners Insurance- TERMINOLOGY- Part two 

Last month, I wrote on the wording in Home owners policys 

so folks could understand what they are paying for and what 

their coverage means in lay mans language.. This month I am 

focusing on Parts B,C,D,E, and F..As I stated last month, Part 

A is on the dwelling itself.. Now part B is on all buildings NOT 

ATTACHED to the house.. be it a work shed, garage or any 

kind off outbuilding.. ALL POLICIES gives you 10% of the value 

of your home in part A as coverage for thisdd type of building.. 

So if your house is valued at $ 200,000 on part A, those out 

buildings are covered dup to $20,000 loss. 

Now, if your building is valued more than that, you can ask 

your agent to increase the coverage, but it will costs a little 

more.. Now Part C is PERSONAL PROPERTY.. This is all your 

furniture, jewelry, sporting equipment, clothes.. anything you 

own or are paying for.. in your house, the out buildings, in our 

car, OR what you have loaned out to someone even it is THEIR 

HOUSE!! The company automatically gives you 50% coverage 

for the value of this property ( IT IS UP TO YOU TO PROVE 

THE VALUE, SO KEEP RECEIPTS OF ALL MAJOR BUYS 

AND TAKE PICTURES OFF ALL ITEMS AND RECORD THE 

SERIAL NUMBERS OF ALL ITEMS) . If you do not, you will not 

get value you wish!! Also, with the 50% plan they give you, the 

company will take off depreciation, so if a TV cost you $ 3000 

five years ago, yu may only get $1000 or so as pay back.. In order 

to get FULL VALUE you must increase the value from 50 % 

to 70%, which is called REPLACEMENT COSTS.. talk to your 

agent for more info or call me..Next is PART D, or LOSS OF 

USE.. Say you have a fire in the bedroom and have to spend 

3 weeks in a motel to sleep, this part gives you up to 20% of 

Part A, for money to pay for the rental.. also, if your kitchen is 

destroyed and you have to eat at Hardee’s or Circle Restaurant, 

keep your receipts, and you can get reimbursed for this..This 

ends SECTION ONE OF ALL HOMEOWNERS POLICIES.. 

Section 2, I will cover next month in August..As usual, you may 

contact me for this or other insurance issues.. Call me at 252 

202 5983 or 252 335 5983 or e-mail me at INSDR@ROAD- 

RUNNER.COM..Tip of the month.. Do not get to wrapped up in 

politics right now and do not believe all the blustering you hear 

from all the candidates, this is where all the hot air is coming 

from now from Washington D.C. Just relax, there is plenty of 

time to get your tickets to leave for Canada or Mars or Outer 

Mongolia in the coming 16 months.. TATA,

John Bayliss. Next is O’Neals Seafood where, if you are here 

at lunchtime, you can grab an excellent seafood lunch and also 

buy some fresh North Carolina seafood to take back to cook 

at your cottage. O’Neals is a popular locals’ spot as well as 

for those visiting our area. The specials of the day are sure to 

satisfy your seafood craving and are made with fresh locally 

caught seafood.. 

When you are done there, then continue around the park and 

when you make the right turn you will see the Outer Banks 

Marina, “Home of Wicked Tuna Outer Banks”. If you are here 

in the late afternoon, there are many things to do at the OBX 

Marina. First you can watch as the boats come in from a day 

on the ocean and will be unloading their catches on the dock. 

You can watch as the Doghouse from Wicked Tuna backs in 

and meet Captain Britton Shackelford. If you like Wicked Tuna, 

you can head over to the OBX Marina Ship Store and get an 

official OBX Marina Wicked Tuna T-Shirt. While you are in the 

Ship Store, you can also check for boat availability and plan a 

charter fishing trip while you are here visiting. 

“Hustlers of the world, there is one 

mark you cannot beat: the mark inside.” 


For the adult vacationer, you can visit the Tiki Bar located dockside 

and grab a cold one and mix with the locals at this popular 

watering hole. If you pick the right evening the bar also has live 

music. Located beside the Tiki Hut is the Sooey’s BBQ Food 

Trailer where you can get some BBQ to compliment your cold 

beer. For those looking for a family trip, OBX Marina now has 

Paradise Dolphin Cruises on the Kokomo. If you want to take 

this Dolphin cruise, then make sure you call ahead and make 

a reservation because cruises sell out fast during the summer. 

As you can see, there is a lot happening at the OBX Marina. If 

you do happen to book a trip with one of the many experienced 

captains who are located at OBX Marina, the marina also has a 

fish cleaning service where they will clean and bag your catch 

of the day. Then you can take it back to your cottage to eat or 

take it back home with you. 

Who knows? While you are visiting, you may even see me 

when I am returning to OBX Marina after a day on the ocean! 

This is where I dock my boat “The Sea Donkey.” If you see me, 

stop by and say hi. Enjoy your stay on the Outer Banks!

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: You said suicide by kids was bad. Is it 

really? What are the numbers? 

Dear Reader. The CDC’s National Center for Health 

Statistics reports a 33% increase since 1999. That 

shows the highest age-adjusted suicide rate recorded in 

the U.S. since 1942. And kid suicide horrifies me most. 

It is increasing more rapidly among boys and girls ages 

10 to 14 than in any other age group. Research reported 

in the Journal of the American Medical Association 

indicated kids killing themselves is at the highest point 

since at least 2000. See the June issue of the JAMA. 

The researchers indicate that high rates of drug abuse 

and overdose, and misuse of social media may be tied 

to rising suicide rates. If you need to act about possible 

suicide call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 

1-800-273-8255 or text HOME to 741741 to reach the 

Crisis Text Line. 

Dear Dr. Crime: What do we do to end the opioid crisis? 

Disturbed voter. 

Dear Voter: Tell your state and federal officials to make 

it more of a priority. The Monitor on Psychology reports 

that in 2017 our country was home to 1.7 million opioids 

disorder victims and 6 times as many died from opioids 

as in 1999. It also reports that a relatively new criminological 

treatment tool, the “Drug Courts” are proving to 

be very effective by a focus on treatments as well as incarceration. 

We now have over 3,000 drug courts. We 

also have “Mental Health Courts” using mental health 

services as part of sentencing. 

Dear Dr. Crime: What agencies can help me develop an 

anti-bullying program at our local high school? I don’t 

know where to turn. Politically Active Citizen. 

Dear PAC: GOOD for you ! Encourage others to participate 

in local government as you are doing. For help 

with your planning go to the National Association of Forensic 

Counselors. They have developed “tool kits” for 

bullying and have an app for you. See that really great 

association at nafc@forensiccounselor.org. See also 

their upcoming meeting on the motivation of survivors of 

human trafficking. 

Dear Dr. Crime: What can we do to help our FireFighters? 

I think they don’t get the support and attention they 

deserve. HotPants 

Dear HotPants: You are right on target. We must do 

more for our first responders. How about a transfer 

of all politicians and media personnel salaries to the 

FireFighters? No, I guess that would not work, but 

there is much we can do beyond what is now the typical 

program. See the programs Dr. Jana Tran, a psychologist 

with the Houston Fire Department, has going. Her 

research shows that FireFighters can develop depression 

and PTSD, leading to suicide. She has a video, 

Operation Lifeline, that is an important part of preparing 

them for the stress of their work. Go for it!! See the 

June issue of Monitor on Psychology. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Can we do anything to get girls out of 

the sex business? I think the beginning of the Artificial 

Intelligence Dolls is one way. Regretful Customer 

Dear RC: The vast majority of working girls enter the 

profession because they have few economic options. 

Also, they generally do not live in a social system that 

supports them. The NoVo Foundation is working on 

this problem. Recently a number of news sources ran 

stories about the development of robots that pass for 

humans. The development of artificial intelligence in 

multiple forms should be watched, as it has many implications 

for science and humanity. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Kids today cannot delay gratification of 

any sort. That is the reason for the increased crime rate. 

Old Fashioned Father. 

Dear OFF : I disagree. A study in Developmental Psychology 

and in Science News found that white, middle 

class kids empirically tested for patience showed a powerful 

increase since 2000. The researchers contributed 

the increase in delaying gratification to increases in abilities 

to think abstractly, pay attention, plan and prioritize. 

We owe a massive debt to the pre-school teachers. This 

is another example of the importance of early education. 

“I don’t care if people hate my guts; I 

assume most of them do. The important 

question is whether they are in a 

position to do anything about it.” 



Chowanoke History 

by Duvonya Chavis 

After the Chowanoke Reservation was gone, tribal members began 

to disperse and establish smaller communities within the local 

area. These “mini” communities were distinct and were recognized 

as unique by those who lived outside of the community. The Indians 

who lived in these communities could no longer consider themselves 

a tribe in the same sense that we know today, but continued 

to function as tribal communities had in the past with a semblance of 

self-government, both politically and socially. Many of these communities 

established a school and church within their own community or 

attended one that was nearby in a similar community. In reality, these 

“unique” communities were the norm and a continuance of that which 

had always existed prior to colonization. This time however, they had 

adapted to a modern lifestyle and society. Longhouses no longer existed 

and communal living had ceased. 

As Indian customs assimilated into the local culture, Europeans adopted 

many survival practices they had learned from the Chowanoke. 

Fishing technique, local farming, and food recipes were taught. In turn, 

housing and a European clothing style were adopted by the Chowanoke. 

However, the Indians who lived in these communities did not 

dismantle their social culture and individuality. Even today, a semblance 

of their past remains. While local society recognized Chowanoke 

as different, overall they have had a difficult time accepting them 

as Indian, without “teepees” and regalia. Within the northeastern North 

Carolina environment, there are few exceptions where Indians were 

racially designated as Indian in the early 1900’s. This was unfortunate 

because it undermined the existence of a culture that provided a 

foundation for the society that exists today. Yet, even in the aftermath 

of a racially charged environment against American Indians, there still 

exists core communities that have retained their Chowanoke identity. 

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.

Paddling Pleasures 

by Claude Milot 

The Albemarle Sound is a paradise for boaters. The 

sails and masts of sloops, cutters, yawls, and ketches 

can be seen throughout the year as sailors eagerly 

explore the vast expanse of the Sound or compete in 

weekly races and annual regattas. Powerboats of all 

sizes and shapes also make their way to the towns 

along the Sound to discover the many riches they have 

to offer. 

But these waters make another kind of discovery possible. 

Not so much the open waters of the Sound, but the 

rivers that feed it and the many creeks that can only be 

explored with small boats. 

One group of boaters dedicated to the exploration of 

the area’s creeks and ponds are the kayakers of Albemarle 

Plantation’s Osprey Yacht Club. When the green 

of spring replaces nature’s winter coat, these intrepid 

explorers can be seen piling their kayaks onto trailers 

and truck roofs and heading for a new or sometimes 

familiar destination. 

Close to home, the OYC paddlers return again and 

again to Yeopim Creek and its narrow tributaries. A 

paddler exploring Frank’s Creek describes* the waters 

as ranging from emerald green to jet-black pools under 

the trees. The air cool, with very little wind. Birdcalls 

heard overhead, the loud hoot of an owl, honking geese, 

a crane passing silently overhead. A large group of 

cormorants bobbing along, their long necks like sticks 

above the surface, suddenly rise from the water, the 

Raymonds Creek 

The Raymon’s Creek Property Owners’ Association 

(RCPOA) is a fully functional neighborhood association, 

governed by individuals who live in Raymon’s 

Creek. Mike Claggett, Treasurer, reports the following: 

The original annual dues payment of $120.00 is still in 

effect. This has been possible due to the commitment 

of our RCPOA members, which include the original 

developers, to volunteer their time and services in order 

to maintain and improve the community property and 

facilities. Through conservative spending and saving, the 

RCPOA has accumulated sufficient funding for three major 

projects. We are awaiting permits for a Sill (rip/rap like 

rock structure) to be placed under the community pier. 

The Sill will allow us to connect to the existing rip/rap of 

neighboring properties. With the Sill in place, shoreline 

erosion of community property, which has occurred at a 

rate of about 30 feet over the last 12 years, should be 

greatly reduced. Another major improvement we are 

anticipating is a covered pavilion near the entrance of our 

community park. The pavilion will allow us a somewhat 

protected eating area where the community can share 

meals during meetings, work parties, or just have a family 

pick-nic. Our final project is a play area for children 

with age appropriate swings and slides. 

All lots have deeded access to the Pasquotank River via 

the homeowners’ association common area. Moreover, 

all lots connect to the county’s water system, and impact

sight of their seemingly effortless flight breathtaking. 

Conaby Creek near Plymouth, Dillard’s Creek and 

Pembroke Creek in Edenton offer more of nature’s 

delights. Soft Spanish moss hanging lazily from Cypress 

trees, purple irises peeking out from the grassy, green 

banks. The raucous laughter of a pileated woodpecker, 

the splash of a fish breaking the surface of the water, 

the canary-like sounds of an osprey flying overhead with 

its gilled catch. Turtles sunning themselves on sundrenched 

logs, a black snake slithering through the water. 

A doe and her fawn. Experiencing nature at its best.

Also, in early 2019 Camden County and Eastern Shore 

Communications received a $1.8 million federal grant 

to bring faster internet to under-served areas. In March, 

RCPOA officers met onsite with Eastern Shore officials 

to discuss how best to serve the neighborhood. Improvements 

are expected to be in place within six months.

Homemade Pocosin Jam 

By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com 

Don’t let the title mislead you ... Homemade Pocosin Jam is 

not some fruity dessert recipe!!! Homemade Pocosin Jam 

is a music CD featuring local artists from Tyrrell and Hyde counties 

performing folk or root music. The project was conceived by 

Pocosin Arts to record local musicians performing either original 

material or folk music live onstage. The recording resulted from 

a two week artistic residency at Pocosin Arts funded by the NC 

Arts Council, the NC Rural Center, and Tyrrell County Schools. 

Twenty or so artists were invited to take part in the project and 

Gary Mitchell of the group Molasses Creek was selected to 

oversee the project and record/produce the live performance. 

After several meeting sessions and rehearsals, the actual 

performance took place at Madge Vanhorne Auditorium in 2000 

to a packed house. Gary Mitchell recorded the entire show and 

returned to his studio in Ocracoke to engineer, mix, and produce 

the final product which was a 22 song CD with the apt name ~ 

Homemade Pocosin Jam – Finger Pickin’ Good. I would also 

like to give credit to my wife Barbara for creating the CD cover 

art. I am very proud to have been part of this project performing 

three original songs that I wrote. Some of the others featured on 

the CD are The Happy Followers, Jimmy Swain, Ty Fleming (my 

son), Robbie Mackey, The Carawan Brothers, Marie Graham, 

Bobby West, Brandan Brickhouse, Bryan Owens, Tessi Hollis, 

David Furlough, Nikki Armstrong, Jack Donoghue, and Molasses 

Creek. If interested you may be able to obtain a copy of 

the CD from Pocosin Arts in Columbia and I have seen copies 

available on Ebay. Check it out if you get chance!!

Orthodox Christianity by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd 

The End of the World 

These days, there is a lot of anxiety about the end of the 

world. It doesn’t seem to matter whether you’re a religious 

person or not. 

Many Christians think about “the End” as a horrific time of the 

Rapture, Tribulation and the Battle of Armageddon. In an oddly 

analogous way, non-Christians (or rather, non-religious folk) 

have their own “end times” eschatology, marked by equally horrific 

figures like over-population, the over-warming of the earth, 

asteroids hitting the earth, catastrophic viral epidemics, even the 

take-over of human civilization by artificial intelligence. 

I am neither exaggerating here, nor am I poking fun at either of 

these large groups of people. I think we are right to be concerned 

about some of these issues. 

But we are not right to be so afraid. And no one has a right to be 

a fear-monger, whether they are religious or scientific. People 

can learn to be better stewards of nature without browbeating 

them with specters of environmental collapse. Just the same, 

people can grow in belief in God, and a lifestyle of love and 

virtue, without frightening them with images of eschatological 

dread. 

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.” St 

John wrote this in his first epistle (4.18). And the early Biblical 

Christian community knew this well. When they thought about 

the end of the world, which they called “the Last Day,” their attitude 

sharply differed from the modern one of panic and dread. 

They knew, beyond any doubt, that the Last Day would be 

the return of Jesus Christ to the world in glory. Unlike his first 

coming in Bethlehem, this second coming would be obvious to 

everyone. The entire world would recognize him at once as the 

loving God, clearly beautiful as the powerful but merciful Prince 

of Peace. 

At that moment, the entire universe would be bathed in glory, 

and in the fullness of divine love. 

To be sure, they will be those whose entire life is built on violence 

and hatred, and their experience of this Last Day glory 

will be appalling. According to Orthodox doctrine, this reaction 

against Divine Love is exactly what perdition is. 

But to those who live for love, who breathe in peace, who give 

their lives away in mercy and service, who wait upon beauty and 

goodness -- then for these, the Last Day when Jesus comes 

back to this earth will be a day of unbounded joy. 

These early Christians looked upon the Last Day with hope. 

They had a motto: “Marana Tha!” Which means, “Come quickly, 

Lord!” They wanted to see, in their own lifetime, the Lord who 

calls us all his “friends.” Not enemies or slaves of fate and objects 

of deterministic manipulation, born only to sorrow. 

But friends. 

The end of the world is really all about the return of the Friend, https://stgeorgeedenton.org 

the infinite Lover of humanity. It is something to be hoped for, 

and lived for in breathless anticipation.

Ever wonder if they are absorbable? Do you 

Eerals? 

know if they Micronutrients? Are they METHYLATED? 

You should feel good with the proper vitamins, minerals… 

They do need to be chelated/water soluble/absorbable for 

your body to absorb and Use the nutrients. Micronutrients 

mean they are broken down more to be better used by more 

people. But, still about half of all people still do not get the 

benefits unless the nutrients are Methylated!!! So, want to

Historical American Space Initiatives in July 

By: Kameron Iriarte Intern at MOA 

Museum of the Albemarle 

Since the month of July is here, we are celebrating our history. July is a 

month with many historical moments in American history; specifically, 

many notable space events. Many people are familiar with Neil Armstrong 

being the first man to step on the moon on July 20th, 1969. However, July 

20th was the day of another American space initiative: the Viking 1 landing. 

The Viking 1 spacecraft was created by NASA and consisted of an orbiter 

and a lander. The spacecraft launched to Mars on August 20th, 1975, and 

successfully landed on July 20th, 1976. After the Viking 1 landed, it became 

the first spacecraft to successfully land on Mars. After landing, the goal was 

to find signs of life on Mars. The Viking 1 employed the use of an orbiter and 

a lander to take high-resolution images detailing the surface and atmosphere 

of the planet. The imaging system of the lander provided massive 300-degree 

images that showed the surrounding environment. Interestingly, the imaging 

system of the lander was not the only notable tool. Among the lander’s 

arsenal of tools was a robotic arm. On July 28th, 1976, the Viking 1 lander 

made history again by using its robotic arm to perform the first soil samples 

on Mars. After the Viking 1 mission was completed, the orbiter and lander 

continued to serve NASA until 1980 and 1982, respectively. By remaining 

active long past the 90-day life expectancy, the Viking 1 spacecraft allowed 

scientists to collect further data on Mars. If you are interested about space, 

be sure to visit some of the space programs this July at the Museum of the 

Albemarle!

Guitar Tech Talk 

Fret Dressing (Do not try this at home) 

As I mentioned before, just like cars need tune-ups 

and tender loving care so does your guitar. Although 

there are many things you can do yourself as far 

as your car goes, there are many more things you need 

a trained professional to fix on your guitar. One of those 

many things is a fret dress. 

An uneven fret or frets, can affect the way you play 

whether it’s an acoustic or electric guitar. All frets 

have to be even, to where they follow the contour of 

the fret board, so as you move down the neck you 

don’t get buzzing from the string or strings. In order to 

remedy fret buzz, Frets all have to be planed evenly. 

This makes the journey up the fret board sound better 

without encountering that annoying dead note. The 

process in which I do this is referred to as planing the 

Frets. The purpose? It allows you to achieve a lower 

playing action, meaning its more comfortable to play the 

guitar and eliminates dead notes and buzzing strings. 

So, having the Frets dressed, can dramatically change 

the way a guitar plays, for the better. In order to perform 

a Fret Dress, I will take a tool that’s designed for this 

particular purpose and file the frets uniformly to take 

down any high frets to the same level. But it’s not just 

willy-nilly filing. We have to do what’s called fall off. This 

means filing the 14th and beyond frets at a very slight 

angle towards the body of the guitar. You get a “falling 

off” look at the tongue of the fret board. 

you would like for someone to care for you. If properly 

maintained, your Grandchildren’s, grandchildren will get 

to enjoy your instrument. So, until next time, play well, 

play hard, and Play often!!!!!

“The first and most important thing an individual

and win back as much independent ground for 

himself as possible” 


First and foremost, I protect the guitar by putting a 

protective cover over the body and then tape up the fret 

board exposing only the frets. I then begin to mark each 

fret with a sharpie for a reference point while sanding. 

I need to know when enough sanding has been done. 

There is a lot to it, and covering it in this article would 

take up 3 full pages. My goal is to inform people that 

there are ways to make a guitar play better. Sometimes

Summer Program at the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center 

Many historians argue that the two most important developments 

in human history were the ability to use fire as a 

tool and the skill to shape tools from natural materials. Thousands 

of years ago, early humans began to turn rocks into 

tools by hitting them against each other to create sharp edges. 

Though that may sound simple, “knapping” (the term used for 

shaping stone) evolved from using stone chips as scrapers to 

much more complex tools. The knapper had to find a rock that 

was brittle yet uniform in structure and then control the way the 

rock broke or flaked when struck. The process was incredibly 

tedious and time consuming. With a fraction of pressure too 

much, a nearly complete instrument could suddenly crack and 

become two useless pieces of stone. But In the hands of a 

skilled knapper, carefully edged rocks became arrowheads, 

spear points, scrapers - effective working blades that changed 

the course of history. 

“Bushcraft” has become a popular term to describe the skills 

necessary for survival in the natural world. Knapping falls into 

that category, and knapped tools have evolved into works of 

art that are prized not only for their usefulness but for their 

beauty as well. The Frisco Native American Museum will host 

a bushcrafter as one of the summer programs for 2019. Jason 

Demon will demonstrate the ancient craft and display an array 

of knapped tools. Visitors will also have an opportunity to see 

an array of knapped artifacts on display at the museum. The 

presentation is included in museum admission.

Marvelous Mahi 

By Rosie Hawthorne 

Wave 

One of the perks of living where we do is our access to some 

of the best seafood in the world. My son recently went 

deep-sea fishing and came back with dolphinfish, AKA mahi 

mahi, a beautiful fish and one of my favorite eating fishes. From 

ocean to table in just a few hours, it doesn’t get any fresher than 

this. 

I’m preparing beer-battered and fried bites, served with a simple 

side of coleslaw and a duo of dipping sauces – cocktail and remoulade. 

My batter is light and crisp and perfectly complements 

the sweet, succulent meat of the fish. 

It's not just another wave, 

it's an experience.

outerbankswave.com 

For more recipes, tours of my garden, and the 

occasional travelogue, please visit 

with Rosie at 

KitchensAreMonkeyBusiness.com. 

For any culinary questions, e-me at 

Rosie Hawthorne@gmail.com. 

Beer-Battered Fried Mahi Mahi 

Mahi mahi fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces, about 1 – 1 

½ inch cubes 

For the batter: 

½ cup flour 

½ cup corn starch 

1 tsp baking powder 

1 tsp dried mustard 

½ tsp cayenne 

Pinch kosher salt 

About a cup of beer 

Whisk all dry ingredients together, then slowly stir in 

beer. About a cup. You know – until it “looks right,” 

like a thin pancake batter. 

For the frying oil, I use peanut oil. It’s a neutral flavored 

oil and it has a high smoke point. The smoke 

point of an oil is the temperature at which the oil starts 

to smoke, burn, and disintegrate. The higher the 

smoke point, the more “refined” the oil, meaning fewer 

impurities in the oil, which can break down and cause 

the oil to smoke, imparting a burnt flavor to your fried 

food.

Youngest Hawthorne. 

absorb the oil, essentially steaming your food, resulting 

in a greasy, not crisp, product. In other words, always 

fry in batches, maintaining the high temperature, to get 

a golden brown, crisp, and greaseless crust. 

Drop the fish pieces into the batter to coat, then pick 

up each piece individually and let the excess batter 

drain off before gently easing into the hot oil. Fry in 

small batches about 2 minutes, turning, until golden 

brown. Drain on a rack. 

For the dipping sauces, I have the ubiquitous cocktail sauce and a 

remoulade sauce. 

For the cocktail sauce: 

½ cup ketchup 

1-2 TB horseradish 

1 TB lemon juice 

1 TB Lea & Perrins Worcestershire. 

Amounts are suggestions and a starting point. Adjust according to 

your own tastes. And when I combine these ingredients, I don’t 

make a homogeneous mixture. I swirl the ingredients, giving me 

“pockets of flavors.” 

For the remoulade sauce: 

½ cup mayonnaise 

1 TB lemon juice 

1 -2 tsp coarse grained mustard 

1 tsp Tabasco or Texas Pete 

½ tsp Lea & Perrins 

¼ tsp paprika 

¼ tsp cayenne 

½ tsp chopped capers 

2 tsp chopped parsley 

1 TB thinly sliced scallions 

Combine all ingredients. 

Enjoy! 

My fry pot is a heavy pot with an 8-inch diameter and 

a 4-inche depth, with at least 2 inches of oil in it. Heat 

the oil to 375°. (It helps to have an instant read laser 

thermometer. Takes the guesswork out of frying.) As 

always when frying, never crowd the pan. Food needs 

breathing room in the pan so the heat and air can 

circulate around. Overcrowding decreases the temperature 

of your oil, causing the breading or batter to

Beaver Lake 

Beaver Lake continues its legacy of memorable and unique water sports 

events again this summer with back to back tournaments in June and July. 

The Beaver Lake Pro-Am will be on June 15-16th followed by the North Carolina 

State Water Ski Championships on July 13-14th. The club will also log its 30th 

year of skiing in their little slice of heaven surrounded by the swamps and sand 

ridges of western Gates County! 

Beaver Lake Ski Club began as a spinoff from the River City Ski Club in Elizabeth 

City back in 1990. Recognizing that competition water skiing was migrating 

away from busy public waterways to calm private lakes led a few of its members 

on a search that would ultimately land them in an old sand pit in Eure, NC. After 

several years of working more than skiing, the borrow pit that had once been an 

overgrown wasteland littered with everything from old tires to appliances was 

now one of the premier water ski sites in the country!

The State Championships has been held at Beaver Lake many times since then, 

along with pro jump and slalom tournaments, national collegiate and record 

capability events. The organization is especially proud of the charity tournament 

they hosted for many years, the Haley Mitchell Ski-a-thon, which raised over 

$450,000.00 for research for a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. While continuing 

with marquee competitions, the ski club has also been working more with 

adaptive water sports for physically challenged skiers as well as hosting youth 

ski clinics. The club is interested in partnering with other area organizations in 

developing more opportunities for youth in surrounding towns to get on the water. 

Beaver Lake is located on highway 13/158 about 2 miles north of the Chowan 

River Bridge. Our family oriented events are free to spectators and swimming is 

allowed. We appreciate folks in the area coming out and supporting our tournaments 

and events. If you have never been to a Beaver Lake ski event, you really 

should come out and enjoy a few hours by the lake for a unique experience with 

great people!

Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center 

Happy 30th Birthday 

The Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center opened 

in the spring of 1989 and has offered travelers 

and tourists a welcome stop between endless miles 

of fields and open spaces along US Highway 17 in 

Northeastern NC. Located in Camden County, just 

three miles south of the Virginia and North Carolina 

border, the center has expanded and evolved over 

time. Originally, one compact building provided restrooms 

and tourism information. Attendance exceeded 

the projected visitation, and in a short time, plans 

to add an additional building were developed, creating 

a new tourism office and the original building was 

converted into Rest Rooms. 

Many travelers are pleasantly surprised to see 

sailboats and trawlers tied up to the 150’ face dock, 

located on the banks of the historic Dismal Swamp 

Canal. This Visitor Center welcomes both highway 

and waterway travelers entering or leaving our beautiful 

state. Today’s travelers can also visit the Dismal 

Swamp State Park, a North Carolina State Park, adjacent 

to the Welcome Center property, to explore trails, 

visit exhibits or learn more of the history of the Dismal 

Swamp in their attractive Visitor Center. Camden 

County Parks and Recreation manage a paved trail 

which lies between the waterway and the highway, 

beginning at the end of the State Park’s property. This 

facility is owned by NC Department of Transportation 

and tourism office is managed by Camden County. 

Today our staff continues to provide updated tourism 

information for all of North Carolina, and promoting 

the attractions in Northeast North Carolina. To date, 

over 16 million travelers have visited this complex. 

In 2018, the Center was noted inUSA Todayas one of 

the best Rest Areas in the nation, whileArchitectural 

Digestdeclared it “One of the most beautiful Rest 

Areas in America”. We invite you to share your own 

opinion! Stop by to wish us a Happy Birthday and pick

5 Delicious Low-Carb Recipes Perfect for a Cookout 

(StatePoint) Food on the grill, carb-loaded side dishes and 

high-sugar desserts are at the center of most seasonal 

cookouts. But this doesn’t mean you need to avoid those 

countless neighborhood barbecues to ensure you stay on 

track with your healthy lifestyle. 

Courtney McCormick, manager of Clinical Research & 

Nutrition for South Beach Diet, recommends these five lower-carb 

recipes that are great to bring along to any cookout. 

• Shredded Chicken Chili: Just toss some chicken, beans, 

tomatoes and a combination of chili powder, ground cumin, 

paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and 

oregano in your slow cooker and let that magic machine do 

all the work. Six hours later, you’ll have perfectly cooked 

chicken and plenty of flavorful fixings for fewer calories than 

a chicken prepared in a sugary or cheesy sauce. 

• Avocado Tuna Sandwiches: Mix lemon juice, avocado, 

Dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl and add 

canned tuna fish. Scoop onto a slice of whole grain bread 

with arugula, sliced cucumbers and red onions and you’ve 

got yourself a delicious sandwich to eat in place of that 

hamburger. 

• Skinny Shrimp Fajitas: You won’t miss the tortilla with this 

recipe! Combine shrimp, onion, bell pepper, olive oil and dry 

fajita spices such as chili powder, garlic, onion, cumin and 

paprika in a large bowl. Pour into a veggie basket or place 

on skewers and let the grill do the work for you. 

• Pesto Cilantro Dip: Bake walnuts at 275 degrees until golden 

brown, then chop cilantro, garlic, and walnuts in a food 

processor for about 25 seconds. With the machine running, 

pour olive oil in a steady stream. Add sour cream, lemon 

juice and salt. Pulse a few times to combine and you’re 

done! Serve with fresh veggies. 

“This recipe is quick and simple,” says McCormick. “It contains 

minimal ingredients and it is packed with healthy fats. 

Plus, it keeps five days in the refrigerator and freezes for up 

to a month.” 

• South Beach Coleslaw: Coleslaw is a BBQ staple and 

this recipe for a lighter version of it is easy as 1-2-3! Whisk 

together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, celery seed and a 

sugar substitute. Add cabbage and toss to combine. Season 

to taste with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to 

serve. 

For more details on these recipes and other great tips and 

tricks to lose weight and live healthier, visit South Beach 

Diet’s website The Palm at palm.southbeachdiet.com/cookout-low-carb-recipes. 

Remember, cookouts don’t need to wreak havoc on your 

healthy diet. By making some simple swaps and choosing 

healthier options, you’ll stay on track while still enjoying time 

outdoors with family and friends.

A battle of heavyweights at the Virginia ratifying convention 

by Tara Ross 

In 1788, Virginia ratifies the United States Constitution. 

At the time, many thought that Virginia had provided the 

critical 9th vote to put the Constitution into effect. They were 

wrong. New Hampshire provided that vote on June 21. 

Virginia’s ratifying convention was a battle of heavyweights. 

There may have been just a few strong opinions in the room. 

On one side of the aisle, the “Father of the Constitution,” 

James Madison, advocated for ratification. George Washington 

was not present, but he wrote letters in favor of the 

Constitution from home. Governor Edmund Randolph also 

argued for ratification, despite the fact that he’d earlier 

refused to sign the document as a delegate at the Constitutional 

Convention. 

On the other side sat Patrick Henry, future President James 

Monroe, and the author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, 

George Mason. You can imagine that, given his oratorical 

skills and big personality, Henry’s opposition may have been 

the biggest obstacle. 

Prior to the convention, Madison wrote to Thomas Jefferson, 

who was then in Paris: “Mr. Henry is the great adversary who 

will render the event precarious. He is I find with his usual 

address, working up every possible interest, into a spirit of 

opposition.” 

Oh, to be a fly on the wall! Can’t you just imagine Henry passionately 

ranting a bit? Madison trying to counter his points in 

a more stoic way? 

Adding to the drama, the Convention had agreed to go 

through the Constitution “clause by clause,” but Henry 

seemed unable to stick with the plan. On the second day 

of debate, he gave a very long speech. It covers more than 

20 pages in Elliot’s debates! Henry concluded his tirade by 

noting that “I have not said the one hundred thousandth part 

of what I have on my mind, and wish to impart.” Yikes! No 

wonder Governor Randolph concluded the day by noting: 

“Mr. Chairman, if we go on in this irregular manner, contrary 

to our resolution, instead of three or six weeks, it will take us 

six months to decide this question.” 

Well, I guess so! 

Henry felt that the national government created by the Constitution 

was too strong. It was a “consolidated” one, when it 

should be a confederacy of states. 

“That this is a consolidated government,” he opined, “is 

demonstrably clear; and the danger of such a government is, 

to my mind, very striking. . . . What right had they to say, We, 

the people? . . . Who authorized them to speak the language 

of, We, the people, instead of, We, the states? States are the 

characteristics and the soul of a confederation. If the states 

be not the agents of this compact, it must be one great, 

consolidated, national government, of the people of all the 

states.” 

In short, Anti-Federalists did not believe that the national government 

would remain limited. At a minimum, they wanted a 

Bill of Rights to reserve certain powers to the states or to the 

people. 

Madison argued that such an enumeration of rights would be 

actively dangerous to liberty. He asked the convention: “Can 

the general government exercise any power not delegated? 

If an enumeration be made of our rights, will it not be implied 

that every thing omitted is given to the general government?” 

It took the better part of a month, but Madison’s arguments 

eventually won the day. On June 25, the Convention ratified 

the Constitution, without requiring the addition of a Bill of 

Rights first. It did, however, later approve a list of proposed 

amendments to be recommended to the First Congress.

Bastiat on the Nature of Government (and Why America’s Was the Exception) 

By: Gary M. Galles 

Reprinted with permission from fee.org 

Independence Day is an excellent time to carefully consider Frédéric Bastiat’s 1848 essay, “Government,” 

one of the most insightful critiques ever given for understanding the problems that 

beset governance. 

America’s governance problems are a common topic among 

Americans. But each Fourth of July brings that subject to 

the fore. Unfortunately, however, much of the discussion and 

many asserted “solutions” derive from a mistaken approach 

to government. That is why Independence Day is an excellent 

time to carefully consider Frédéric Bastiat’s 1848 essay, “Government,” 

one of the most insightful critiques ever given for 

understanding the problems that beset governance. 

“I should be glad...if you had really discovered a beneficent 

and inexhaustible being, calling itself the Government...which 

can provide for all our wants...correct all our errors, repair all 

our faults, and exempt us henceforth from the necessity for 

foresight, prudence, judgment, sagacity, experience, order, 

economy, temperance, and activity.” 

“Nothing could be more convenient than that we should all… 

have within our reach an inexhaustible source of wealth and 

enlightenment—a universal physician, an unlimited treasure, 

and an infallible counselor, such as you describe Government 

to be.” 

“Man...recoils from trouble...yet he is condemned by nature 

to the suffering of privation, if he does not take the trouble to 

work...What means can he adopt to avoid both?...to enjoy the 

labor of others. [But]...our disposition to defend our property 

prevents direct and open plunder from being easy.” 

“The oppressor no longer acts directly and with his own powers 

upon his victim... We all therefore, put in our claim, under 

some pretext or other, and apply to Government. We say to 

it ‘I should like...the possessions of others. But this would be 

dangerous. Could you not facilitate the thing for me?...the law 

will have acted for me, and I shall have all the advantages of 

plunder, without its risk or its disgrace.’” 

“[But] Government cannot satisfy one party without adding to 

the labor of the others...Government is the great fiction through 

which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody 

else. Everyone is, more or less, for profiting by the labors of 

others...Government is applied to, and every class...says, ‘You, 

who can take justifiably and honestly, take from the public, and 

we will partake.’” 

“Alas, Government is only too much disposed to follow this 

diabolical advice...to be the judge and the master of the destinies 

of all...But the most remarkable part of it is the astonishing 

blindness of the public...who never seem to suspect that reciprocal 

plunder is no less plunder because it is reciprocal; that it 

is no less criminal because it is executed legally.” 

“But the thing that...never will be seen...is that Government can 

restore more to the public than it has taken from it...to confer 

a particular benefit upon any one... without inflicting a greater 

injury upon the community as a whole...to do more harm than 

good.” 

“Thus the public has two hopes, and Government makes two 

promises—many benefits and no taxes. Hopes and promises, 

which, being contradictory, can never be realized.” 

“In all times, two political systems have been in existence... 

According to one of them, Government ought to do much, but 

then it ought to take much. According to the other, this two-fold 

activity ought to be little felt. We have to choose between these 

two systems.” 

“Government is and ought to be nothing but the united power 

of the people, organized, not to be an instrument of oppression 

and mutual plunder among citizens, but, on the contrary, to 

secure to everyone his own, and to cause justice and security 

to reign.” 

When Bastiat, one of history’s most clear-eyed and ardent 

defenders of liberty, wrote, he cited America as an exception to 

his analysis of government. The reason was that here, “there is 

no chimerical creation, no abstraction, from which the citizens 

may demand everything. They expect nothing except from 

themselves and their own energy.” 

In other words, unlike most governments, ours still largely 

followed its legitimate role of protecting our rights and liberties. 

Unfortunately, that vision of American government has been 

largely replaced by one of coercive intervention and redistribution 

whenever those “in charge” see fit, combined with ever 

more intense political competition to take control of ever more 

such power. That loss of our one-time uniqueness is our central 

governance problem.

experience of seeing rooster tails 

fly the entire race course from outstanding public 

viewing areas. It’s great for the racers and terrific 

for the fans! 

Racing action starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday 

and noon on Sunday, with free parking and free 

admission both days. Bring a lawn chair or sit in 

the bleachers at no cost. Stick around Saturday 

evening for the free “Fireworks on the Roanoke” 

and concert that begins at 6 p.m. featuring several 

local performers, plus nationally acclaimed 

gospel singer Ivan Parker. 

Race weekend is truly made for families! So,

Tick Season: An Ounce of Prevention Is 

Worth a Pound of Cure 

(SPM Wire) Summer is here, and nature beckons. 

The benefits of spending time outside -- 

from an increase in vitamin D levels to the healing 

powers of nature -- are common knowledge, 

and outdoor activities are widely encouraged by 

various health organizations. But while you’re 

out and about enjoying fresh air, don’t forget to 

take precautions against the possibility of being 

bitten by a tick. 

Ticks are tiny arthropods that live by feeding 

on the blood of other animals and people. They 

often transmit a variety of complicated infections 

that, if untreated, can lead to dire consequences. 

But you don’t have to let these tiny creatures 

get in the way of your enjoyment of nature. Just 

make sure to follow few simple rules before and 

after your outing: 

• Treat clothing and gear with products containing 

permethrin, and your body with EPA-registered 

insect repellent. 

• Cover up if you will be spending time in bushy 

or wooded areas or wandering through fields of 

tall grass. Wear long sleeves and tuck your long 

pants into your socks -- while this look would be 

frowned upon by the fashion-conscious, it may, 

literally, save your life! 

• Once home, check your clothes and body for 

ticks, and don’t forget some of the not-so-obvious 

places, like your scalp, belly button and 

underarms.

Northeast North Carolina Family History - history to visit in our backyards… 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

Some of us are familiar with the oldest brick house in North 

Carolina just down the road in Perquimans county. The 

Newbold-White House located at 151 Newbold-White Road in 

Hertford is a brick home built by Abraham and Judith Sanders 

and dates from 1730. It is furnished from the time period 

between 1730 and 1750 when Abraham died and contains four 

rooms. As summer finds many of us seeking a place to visit, 

some historic homes where we can appreciate the lives of our 

ancestors seems a good choice. The Newbold-White House 

is open Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. 

between early April and October 31st. For more information 

the website is: https://www.perquimansrestoration.org/index. 

html 

In June my husband and I drove to Surry County in Virginia 

to see a location we have wanted to visit for a number of years. 

We should have done it when we lived in Elizabeth City as it 

would have been closer, but it was about a two hour drive from 

southern Currituck. Bacon’s Castle was built by Arthur Allen. 

It is the oldest brick house in North America and one of only 

three Jacobean homes in our hemisphere! The other two are 

in the Barbados so if you want to drive - it’s your only choice… 

Four about four months in 1676, it was occupied by members 

of Nathaniel Bacon’s insurrection. Our guide said they don’t 

believe he was ever personally on the property. The members 

of his group chased the family of Arthur Allen II out and pretty 

much trashed the place before their rebellion ended. Bacon 

himself died of dysentery before it was all over and 22 of his 

group were hanged by the governor of Virginia. It is interesting 

that the naming of the area relates to such a short termed 

event, but roads, churches and many businesses in the area 

carry Bacon’s Castle. The house is fully restored and has a 

beautifully reconstructed formal English garden that was full of 

butterflies when we visited. 

It is owned and operated by Preservation Virginia and mostly 

open on weekends. For more information and pricing visit 

their website: https://preservationvirginia.org/historic-sites/bacons-castle/ 

Dr Bald 

Since we were going to be in Surry County anyway, I 

searched online to find other sites of interest and was surprised 

that about twelve miles away from Bacon’s Castle, Preservation 

Virginia had another historic home that at one time was 

thought to be the oldest brick house in America. Smith’s Fort 

Plantation is a part of the property originally given to John Rolfe 

and Pocahontas by her father at the time of their marriage. 

Dendrochronology which dates wood, changed the date of the 

home from the mid 1600’s to the mid 1700’s and it is similar 

to the White-Newbold home in that it contains four rooms on 

two floors. Built by Jacob Faulcon, the house was purchased 

and restored by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. in 1932 and acquired 

by what is now Preservation Virginia in 1933. The furnishings 

are from the late 1600’s and early 1700’s and describing them 

as impressive does not do them justice. A half mile walk down 

a slightly overgrown farm road from the house brings you 

to the site of Captain John Smith’s 1609 “New Fort” directly 

across the James River from Jamestown. All that remains are 

the earthworks similar to those on Roanoke Island. With the 

vegetation including stately old trees, you would probably miss 

the site if it weren’t for the markers. You can appreciate that 

it would have been an easy site to defend as in Smith’s own 

words the site is, “...upon high commanding hill, very hard to be 

assaulted an easie to be defended.” If you buy tickets to both 

sites you get a reduced price and for more information visit 

the website at: https://preservationvirginia.org/historic-sites/ 

smiths-fort-plantation/ 

Take time to visit some interesting sites this summer. If not 

sites historic to the country at least to your family and record 

your visit and what your family did there for posterity. Enjoy the 

pictures I’m including - hopefully...

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. 

Please call us for your oral surgery needs.

Work Toward Your Own Financial Independence Day 

Once again, it’s time for fireworks, pic-nics 

and parades as the nation celebrates Independence 

Day. Collectively, we enjoy many liberties, 

but some freedoms can be elusive – and 

financial freedom is one of them. What actions 

can you take to help yourself eventually declare 

your own financial independence? 

For starters, you’ll want to determine what financial 

independence means to you. Is it the liberty 

to meet all your cash flow needs? The freedom 

to retire comfortably, at the age you choose? The 

ability to set up the kind of legacy you’d like to 

leave? 

If any or all of these things are important to you, 

consider the following suggestions: 

• Liberate yourself from oppressive debts. 

The cost of living is certainly not cheap, so it’s 

hardly surprising that so many people incur significant 

debt. Yet, the higher your debt load, the 

less you’ll have available to invest for the future. 

Debt might be one of the biggest barriers you 

face on the road to your financial independence. 

To avoid piling on too much debt, live within your 

means. Take steps such as saving for a vacation, 

rather than putting it all on your credit card,

and getting just one more year out of that old

out what you can live without. And if you have 

sizable debts, see if you can consolidate them 

and lower your interest payments. 

• Free yourself from chaotic investing. 

The financial markets can be unpredictable – 

but that doesn’t mean your investment moves 

have to be chaotic. So, for example, instead of 

responding to a sudden plunge in stock prices 

by selling stocks that still may be fundamentally 

sound with strong growth potential, you might 

be much better off by holding your ground. And 

you’ll be in a better position to do nothing during 

periods of market volatility when you’ve already 

done something – namely, built an investment 

portfolio that reflects your goals, time horizon 

and risk tolerance. With this type of portfolio in 

place, you’ll be in a good position to overlook the 

day-to-day fluctuations in the market and keep 

your focus on your long-term goals. 

• Unleash the potential in your re-tirement plan.

is a great way to save for retirement. You can

in, the lower your taxable income, and your earnings 

can grow tax deferred. (With a Roth 401(k), 

you put in after-tax dollars, but your withdrawals 

are tax-free, pro-vided you meet certain conditions.) 

But despite these tax advantages, your 401(k)’s 

full potential won’t be realized unless you fund it 

adequately. Try to contribute as much as you can 

afford each year and increase your contributions 

as your salary goes up. Another way to uncap 

your 401(k)’s potential is by choosing appropriate 

investments. Your 401(k) likely contains a 

dozen or more investment options, so you’ll want 

a mix that offers the greatest possibilities for 

growth within the context of your personal risk 

tolerance. 

Gaining your financial independence requires 

time and commitment. But once you’ve achieved 

this freedom, you’ll know it was worth the effort. 

And who knows? You might even want to wave a 

sparkler or two to celebrate.

New Life of Currituck 

Making memories 

by Pastor Dan Bergey 

Something that I have learned over the years is that memories 

are a part of what shapes us, good and bad ones. Sometimes 

those memories get locked away until something happens and 

brings them back to the surface. Often it’s the little things in life that 

end up meaning the most to us later in life. It’s not the stuff that we 

had that is important but instead the things that we did. The times we 

spent together as a family, the times we helped someone in need, 

the times that we were there for someone when they needed us the 

most. We try to lock away and forget the bad things. The bad things 

are just as important in shaping us as the good. We need to learn 

from the bad and not dwell on it. Give everything to God, the good 

and the bad. 

Don’t let situations control who and what you are. In a way it’s like 

this with God. He remembers what we did too. He remembers when 

we spend time with him, when we help people, when we do everything. 

The best part is that when we turn our lives over to God and 

ask for forgiveness, he forgets our bad stuff. Psalm 25:7 says “Do 

not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According 

to Your lovingkindness remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O 

LORD.” It’s important to spend time with your family and make memories, 

but it’s even more important to spend time with God and make 

memories with him. As you are out this summer “making memories” 

with your family, don’t forget to spend time with God too. 

Psalm 98:3 He has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness 

to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the 

salvation of our God.

The Soul Hunters 

A Non-Profit Outdoor Ministry! 

As the sun rose above the trees, 

I sat in the duck blind watching the reflection appear on the water, 

The decoys set in place, 

The distant sounds of geese; tundra swan and ducks, 

Minutes before the sky would come to life, 

I thought of God’s Creation. 

As I sat in the deer stand overlooking a tree where a buck had rubbed, 

The leaves falling and glistening from the frost, 

The sounds of a squirrel rustling on the ground, 

A cardinal sitting on a limb, 

I thought of God’s Creation. 

What a magnificent opportunity and creation God has given each of us to 

enjoy. We are called the SOUL HUNTERS; a nonprofit outdoor organization 

that uses God’s great outdoors to reach out to other outdoor enthusiasts. 

We are committed to worshipping God and proclaiming the good 

news of Jesus Christ. We offer all types of activities and events throughout 

the year. Follow us on Facebook at FOL Sportsmen Ministry to see 

upcoming & happening events.

Albemarle Eye Center 

by: Kierstan Boyd 

Astigmatism is an imperfection in the curvature of 

your eye’s cornea or lens. Normally, the cornea 

and lens are smooth and curved equally in all directions. 

This helps to focus light rays sharply onto 

the retina at the back of your eye. If your cornea or 

lens isn’t smooth and evenly curved, light rays aren’t 

refracted (bent) properly. Doctors call this a refractive 

error. 

When your cornea has an irregular shape, you have 

corneal astigmatism. When the shape of your lens is 

distorted, you have lenticular astigmatism. In either 

case, your vision for both near and far objects is blurry 

or distorted. It’s almost like looking into a fun house 

mirror in which you can appear too tall, too short, too 

wide or too thin. 

People may have astigmatism along with other refractive 

errors. Those errors may include things like: 

• nearsightedness (myopia) or 

• farsightedness (hyperopia). 

Adults with significant astigmatism may realize their 

vision isn’t as good as it should be. Children with astigmatism 

symptoms may not be aware they have this 

condition. They are unlikely to complain about blurred 

or distorted vision. 

Uncorrected astigmatism can impact a child’s ability to 

achieve in school and sports. It is crucial that children 

have regular eye exams. Get these exams to detect 

astigmatism and other vision problems as early as 

possible. 

Orange Carte- New area delivery service 

Orange Crate has been in business since 2015 providing service 

deliveries throughout the USA. Also, Now, operates as a locally 

owned franchise in and around the Elizabeth City area. Currently, 

Orange Crate delivers from any Elizabeth City area restaurant within 

a 20-mile radius of the restaurant’s location. Using Orange Crate’s 

service is as easy as talking on your cell phone: 1- download their 

app or go to the website 2- input your address and service area 

restaurants will populate a delivery radius on your screen 3- chose

step process and within minutes food from your favorite restaurant is

Orange Crate led by a proven management team with plans to 

expand into the Outer Banks by Memorial Day Weekend with drivers 

covering Mile Post 1 to Mile Post 18 in a 15-mile radius into the 

mainland. By the Holiday season of 2019, Orange Crate will begin 

expanding into Currituck and Moyock. In early 2020, Hertford and 

Edenton will be included as part of the final leg to cover our region. 

In the opinion of the Tradewinds publisher, it is the small-business 

like “ Orange Crate” who will create much needed future entry-level 

jobs and allows an employee to earn” a living wage” which in turn 

pulls families and communities out of poverty and government dependency. 

Orange Crate is one of a few businesses locals can all support with 

just the stroke of a few keys on our cell phones or laptops and keeps 

our money turning -over in the local economy while assisting the 

creation new entry-level jobs and a new middle-class. Your support is 

very-much appreciated. 

What Causes Astigmatism? 

Astigmatism is caused by an irregular curvature of the 

eye’s cornea or lens. If your cornea or lens isn’t evenly 

curved, light rays aren’t refracted properly. With astigmatism 

you have blurred or distorted vision at near 

and far distances. 

Astigmatism is very common. Doctors don’t know why 

corneal shape differs from person to person. They 

do know that likelihood of developing astigmatism is 

inherited. 

Astigmatism can develop after an eye disease, eye 

injury or surgery. It is a myth that astigmatism can develop 

or worsen from reading in low light or sitting very 

close to the television. 

Astigmatism Symptoms 

Astigmatism symptoms may include: 

• blurry vision or areas of distorted vision 

• eyestrain 

• headaches 

• squinting to try to see clearly, or 

• eye discomfort 

If you have these symptoms you may not necessarily 

have astigmatism. You should visit to your ophthalmologist. 

A complete eye exam will determine what is 

causing your symptoms.
