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 Sponsored by Dwelling Management Solutions 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. *Descriptions in this article taken from impressions recorded in Albemarle Soundings fees have been paid for most sites. Dominion Power provides underground electric service, and all lots have been pre-tested for septic systems. FEMA’s new flood maps, adopted in December, 2018, place all or part of the remaining subdivision lots within the .2% (500 year flood plain) annual chance flood hazard zone. For homes situated in the .2% zone, flood insurance is not required for most federally-insured mortgages, and, if purchased, is available at a reduced rate. 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!! Ask us about Proximity Marketing Call Scott 252-312-2302 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. inquiries c/o St. George’s Church, P.O. Box 38, Edenton, NC.
