Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by: Lewis Carroll 

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in 

Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles 

Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.It tells of a 

young girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world 

populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with 

logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with 

children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary 

nonsense genre. 

One of the best-known and most popular works of English-language 

fiction, its narrative course, structure, characters, and imagery have 

been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially 

in the fantasy genre.The work has never been out of print, and 

it has been translated into at least 97 languages.Its ongoing legacy 

encompasses many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, art, theme 

parks, board games, and video games.

College of The Albemarle Receives $125,000 Golden LEAF Foundation Grant 

Elizabeth City, NC – College of The Albemarle’s (COA) 

Regional Aviation and Technical Training Center will soon 

acquire new equipment for the Computer Integrated 

Machining program. A grant provided by the Golden LEAF 

Foundation, in the amount of $125,000, will help to fund 

the new purchase of state-of-the-art machinery to help 

meet local job demands. 

The grant application process began in June with the 

project entitled, “Training Tomorrow’s Machining Workforce 

Today.” The project outlined the need for new machining 

equipment to offer modernized training for our students 

and incumbent workers who need additional training 

through new continuing education courses. 

Training on this equipment is required for machining 

contractors engaged by the US Coast Guard. In addition, 

Hockmeyer Equipment Corporation, with manufacturing 

headquarters in Elizabeth City, recently announced an expansion 

of 90 employees. Hockmeyer has communicated 

to COA both the need for incumbent worker training and 

the eligibility of new workers trained on this equipment to 

be hired directly into higher-level machinist positions at the 

company. 

“Golden LEAF is pleased to support COA’s Computer 

Integrated Machining program,” said Golden LEAF Acting 

President Ted Lord. “Golden LEAF awards grants to build 

the skills of individuals to align with the current and future 

needs of NC businesses, especially in rural and tobacco-dependent 

areas. This project will help train new and 

incumbent workers for good-paying jobs with established 

area industry.” 

Equipment to be purchased will include a Computer Numerical 

Control (CNC) machine with C-axis, Y-axis and live 

tooling options, and a Laser Scanner with additional part 

capacity, portability and complex dimensional analysis. 

“We were thrilled to receive notification that the Golden 

LEAF Foundation would provide support for this project,” 

said Michelle Waters, Dean, Business, Industry and 

Applied Technologies; Campus Administrator, Regional 

Aviation and Technical Training Center. “The Computer 

Integrated Machining program has a strong history of 

delivering excellent training for our service area’s future 

workforce. Through the purchase of this new equipment, 

the program will continue to produce highly skilled students 

who then take their skills to our region’s manufacturing 

industry.”

Machining program, visit www.albemarle.edu/cim.

How to Protect Your Holiday Guests’ Health This Season 

By Laura Bush Jenkins 

As you make a great impression and deepen special 

relationships with guests, customers, and family this 

season, the last thing you want is the inconvenience of 

mold and indoor air contamination. 

Mold is not just a seasonal issue in our region. 

Even an otherwise well-maintained property can have 

air continuously recirculating through a heating system, 

leaving putrid odors and unforeseen health consequences. 

Other times, standing water and humidity can get into 

your home. 

Two months ago, Pastor Mark Brady of Fellowship Baptist 

Church in Moyock noticed some of his congregation 

was not feeling well on the premises. 

A previous air quality study didn’t show any problems, 

but he trusted his instincts. Through Home Advisor, 

Brady connected with Dwelling Management Solutions 

(DMS) for another round of testing and a subsequent 

treatment plan. 

“If you suspect something, then there’s something you 

need to look into. DMS had the equipment and knew the 

specific spots to go to. “ 

When you need to take control of mold growth right away 

to get the most out of your facility, DMS has the trained 

staff and resources to meet your deadline. 

Right before Christmas in 2010, St. Anne’s Catholic 

Church in Edenton was at a crossroads. According to 

former bookkeeper Wendy Callahan, tests confirmed the 

readings on mold were so toxic the church had to close. 

The DMS team treated the church and basement, including 

the air conditioning ductwork, immediately. When 

independent test results confirmed treatments were successful, 

the church reopened just in time for the holiday. 

If you are concerned about addressing a time-sensitive 

mold or indoor air quality issue during this busy time of 

the year, contact DMS at 252 339 2489 and let their team 

go to work for you.

Elizabeth City Chamber News 

by: Holly Staples 

We had a blast at our 11th Annual Golf Classic on October 25th at YMCA 

at The Pines! Beginning with the day’s perfect weather and ending with 

our exciting Golf Ball Drop Raffle and Awards Ceremony, the event was a 

huge success. Golfers enjoyed lunch provided by Pepsi Bottling Ventures and 

Firehouse Subs before heading out onto the course. While on the course, 

they enjoyed beer provided by City Beverage Company, and they took a shot 

at the Hole in One Challenge sponsored by Perry Auto Group. 

Once all teams finished their round of golf, we headed over to the practice 

range to watch the inaugural Golf Ball Drop Raffle, sponsored by B&M 

Contractors and Mitsubishi Electric. Anna Biggs won the $500 prize, as her 

ball rolled closest to the hole. The awards ceremony, sponsored by Vidant 

Chowan Hospital, featured a beer tasting from Ghost Harbor Brewing Company. 

Congratulations to 1st Place Team – Albemarle Lanes, and 2nd Place 

Team – McDonald’s! 

Many thanks to our Golf Committee members, who gave their time and efforts 

to planning this event and thank you to the event volunteers who helped the 

day run so smoothly! Special thanks to our event sponsors, hole sponsors, 

and everyone who purchased raffle tickets – we appreciate your support! 

We will kick off our 2nd year of Albemarle Leadership in February 2020. 

Albemarle Leadership is a six- month program designed to bring local leaders 

together to learn about the issues and resources unique to our area. Involvement 

in Albemarle Leadership opens the door to new possibilities, creating a 

stronger voice for Northeastern North Carolina. We are partnering with the 

Chambers of Commerce in Ahoskie, Currituck, Edenton-Chowan, Perquimans, 

and Windsor-Bertie to offer this informative and developmental program. 

For more information, please contact me at 252-335-4365. Applications will 

be accepted through early December. 

As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to take time out to give thanks to our 

faithful members, generous sponsors, and selfless volunteers. I am extremely 

grateful for the support of these amazing partners who are essential to our 

success. Thank you very much for investing in and believing in us.

NC History 

ncdcr.gov 

On November 2, 1795, James 

Knox Polk, the 11th president 

of the United States, was born on 

a farm just south of what is today 

Charlotte. Polk moved to Tennessee 

in 1806 but returned to his 

home state to attend the University 

of North Carolina. 

Polk’s first election was to the Tennessee 

state legislature in 1823. He 

then became a member of the U.S. 

Congress from Tennessee, and in 

1837, he was elected governor of 

the Volunteer State. He narrowly 

won election to the presidency over 

Henry Clay in 1844 at the age of 49, 

making him the youngest president 

to that date. 

Polk entered the presidency with 

a clear plan of action rooted in 

westward expansion. Seen by contemporaries 

as conscientious and 

attentive to the needs of the country, 

in his presidential campaign he 

promised not to run for a second 

term. True to his word, he did not. 

While Polk’s original North Carolina 

home is long gone, a cabin accurate 

to the period is open to the 

public at the President James K. 

Polk State Historic Site in Pineville. 


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? 

Last month I was guest speaker at a breast cancer 

event (P.I.N.K.I.E Party) given by Vicky Walton’s “It’s 

in the Genes”, LLC . Vicky is a two time breast cancer 

survivor who’s enthusiasm is infectious. 

It was a wonderful event and I was honored to participate. 

I love a Q and A format, and we did a Facebook 

Live, so I had a big audience. I started by identifying myself 

as a fourteen year cancer survivor, a United States 

Government food safety expert, and how that melded 

into my strategies. I hope I was influential enough for the 

attendees and their Facebook family audiences, to use 

this column as a resource when going food shopping. 

So, if you’re new to the column, welcome. 

Including my military service, I’ve been honored to be 

a public servant since I was seventeen years old, and 

I’m 80. Most of my public service was in food safety 

as a New York State Meat Inspector, USDA Inspector-In-Charge, 

Supervisory Food Technologist and Senior 

Staff in the Food Safety Inspection Service in Washington, 

D.C. In that Senior Staff capacity I worked closely 

with the FDA, EPA, and Epidemic Intelligence Service 

(EIS). I understand how the United States agricultural 

food chain works, and how Washington manages and 

regulates it. I understand the mechanism of how substances 

get into your food. I monitor and report on pertinent 

FSIS and FDA recall press releases, from an insider 

prospective. That said. 

I’m promoting keeping a daily food log. I’ve kept one 

during my January- February optimizing period when I 

do my modified Mediterranean diet. Since I get quarterly 

blood panels, I’m able to correlate my diet with my lab 

results. It’s a good idea to know what substances you’re 

putting in your body. 

I consider dietary fiber my damage control, “Go To” supplement. 

Dietary fiber lowers bad cholesterol levels and

regulates pH levels, fiber is thought to prevent microbes 

from producing cancerous cells in the colon. It works by 

moving food through your digestive system, You want to 

digest the decaying animal tissue, as soon as possible. 

The days when I eat meat, I increase my fiber, and fluid 

intake. 

I use Omega 3 supplements as my primary anti-inflammatory. 

I accept the inconclusive research that it protects 

your heart, and coronary system. Now that the USDA 

is inspecting fish, and plant based fish is on the horizon, 

Fish will be a weekly food staple. 

Vitamin C is the most powerful, inexpensive, anti-oxidant/ 

ANTI-AGING supplement on the market and is vitally 

important for immune system health. . 

Finally, medical cancer strategies are trending toward 

personalized applications. Food should be treated the 

same way. The next time you shop grab some fiber, 

plenty of options. 

Remember, keep a daily log of what you consume, reconcile 

it with your routine blood labs. 

Food is medicine.

November NC Bowhunters Association by: Talmage Dunn 

Its already November! Almost half of the 2019-2020 

deer hunting season has gone by. I hope you have had 

the opportunity to get out hunting and also had the chance 

for a shot at the deer in your area. Remember … its not 

about the end result... its about your journey as a hunter, 

tracker, and citizen game manager. 

Being near the halloween scare date. It has brought to 

mind the scare stories I used to watch as a child. You 

know, the ones where the victim is being chased in the 

dark, into the woods. The attacker is chasing them and in 

the dark of the moon the victim continues to run. It made 

stop and think... what gives you away? Movement... the 

victim continually moves so the attacker has no problem 

finding them. This same action is what gives us, the 

bowhunters, away when we are hunting. No matter how 

well the camoflage, scent control, or stand placement, 

our movement give us away. Just think, earlier bowhunters, 

such as Fred Bear and others wore red plaid shirts 

and bluejeans, yet they harvested plenty of game. They 

learned early on that movement would give them away in 

the forest. Patience is the virtue we should each aspire to 

have when hunting. This same philosophy applies to the 

game. How many times have you been hunting and out 

of the corner of your eye you see a glimmer of movement 

? Next you see the game animal and are able to make a 

good shot. Have patience and awareness when you are in 

the woods, it will pay dividends. 

Continuing being a good steward of our natural resources 

and following the game management practices established 

by our Wildlife Resources Commission is your responsibility 

as a hunter or fisherman. Even though bow season may 

be over in your area, on public lands, you can still bowhunt 

private lands as lomg as you follow the rules for firearm 

season. There are a multitude of game lands provided for 

hunters in North Carolina. Many of these Gamelands have 

Bowhunting Only sections. I suggest you avail yourself of 

these gamelands. If you have never had the time to go 

to one of these game lands, as a hunter, you are doing 

yourself a disservice. Some of our game lands, one such 

is Butner Gameland, are a bowhunter’s paradise. No worries 

about dogs, no worries about guns, just the opportunity 

to enjoy the woods and fields in solitude. Of course, as a 

hunter, scouting these areas is a must. 

The North Carolina Bowhunter’s Association now has its 

own property that members can use and camp. It is near 

the Butner gameland area. If you are a member go out and 

enjoy what has been provided for you! 

Take someone new to archery out on a hunting trip. It is a 

great time of fellowship and fun. Its a bit late for this year, 

but consider going to some of the 3-D tournaments held 

throughout the spring and summer. There are a myriad of 

tournaments, some for the serious tourney shooter and 

some for those that just want to get out and fling arrows 

and improve accuracy! Better yet, if shooting in a tournament 

is not for you, take the time to make your own 3-D 

target. I have written on this in past articles and I will write 

more on creating your own for far less cost after the hunting 

season. 

Once again, I will remind you, while in our state we are 

allowed to bowhunt the entire season, when hunting during 

firearm season, you must follow the game laws for firearms. 

Be sure to practice safe hunting techniques. Wear 

international (blaze) orange during the firearm season, 

even if you are only bowhunting!!! We want all of our hunters 

to enjoy the hunt and come home safely to your family. 

Always check your gear for loose mechanisms, your life 

may depend on it! Until next month, stay safe and have fun 

in the woods. 

Respectfully submitted.

Beetle Mania 

by: Coy Domecq 

And now, for something completely different. In my 

quest for a foragable Thanksgiving food product, 

native to the area as a feature in this issue, it was 

a struggle to identify something not introduced from 

abroad or domesticated as a commodity. The lightbulb 

came on when I remembered eating insects in Thailand 

and South Korea. Sources from the Food and Agriculture 

Organization (FAO) estimate about two billon of the 

human population eat insects. Oddly, one survey indicates 

about 72% of US residents are unwilling to even 

try insect consumption. This is surprising considering 

that the US FDA actually allows up to 30 insect parts 

per hundred grams of chocolate. For those of you still 

reading, eating insects is not as strange as it may seem 

and may actually be ahead of its time. Incredibly, it is 

a resurgence of what was once a food tradition here in 

the United States. Entomophagy, the term referring to 

human consumption of insects, was commonplace in 

early US history and even earlier in Native American 

diets. 

Why eat insects? They are exceedingly nutritious. 

Insect protein content rivals that of almost any other 

animal source. A 3.5-ounce serving of dried grasshopper 

contains upwards of 28 grams of protein. They are 

everywhere and there are lots of them. (Really, do I 

need to elaborate?) According to the Smithsonian Museum, 

insects represent approximately 1 gigaton (about 

1,000,000,000 tons) of the earth’s organic biomass, 

whereas total human biomass represents a mere 0.06 

gigatons. Most insect genera are edible by humans. To 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

answer the burning question, beetles are the most popular 

selection. This practice could be a key component 

in accomplishing what is termed as food security and a 

viable food source, or even preference, for those with 

expanded food tastes. Oh, yes the taste. My experience 

with insect consumption is that they are crunchy 

and nutty when dried, as with grasshopper and crickets, 

and buttery and rich when enjoying steamed silkworm 

larvae. There is an etiquette observed when eating 

insects. Instead of reaching across the table to grab 

your portion, ask politely to, “Please pass the mashed 

beetles and gravy.”

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

OLD STYLE LIFE INSURANCE MAKES A REBOUND-- WHOLE LIFE 

Over the past 15 to 20 years, almost all people have heard about 

has been TERM INSURANCE. Either in mailings or television 

ads or newspapers or 

so-called expert financial planners on the radio..ALL are touting the 

greatness of TERM INSURANCE and if you have extra money to invest 

or save for the future, put it in Mutual Funds or stocks or bonds. 

As many financial planners are very willing to take your money and 

say they know what is best for you to earn LARGE gains in the stock 

market, and as they get their commissions of your money, EVEN IF 

YOU GAIN MONEY OR LOSE MONEY, they will get their commissions. 

With the way the stock market has had very good years and 

very bad years, they get paid!!! BUT, there has always been a very 

good and steady earnings tool that was very good for nearly 100 

years in earning people a gain on their money and they did not even 

know it was or could do so!! WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE--this type 

contract has always been, primarily, to pay a family at the death of the 

breadwinner, a sum of money to replace that persons income.. most 

people have always said “I have to die to win”..The reason for that 

thought is agents never explained the ‘LIVING BENEFITS..” BLAN- 

KET STATEMENT . Whole Life Insurance GUARANTEES you money 

growth within your policy, year after year, no matter what the economy 

is doing.. As the years go on, it is a constant value that people will 

know that they have a money source they can turn to for emergency 

borrowing or saving it up for retirement.. Almost all insurance companies 

in the ,40’s, 50,s and 60,s.. all sold this type of insurance..But the 

bigger companies added another savings idea into contracts called 

DIVIDENDS.. 

Jakes Outdoor Adventures 

know it is hard to believe, but just think in a few weeks 

I it will be Thanksgiving! As I have said in past articles, 

this time of year is a great time to visit the OBX and fish 

from the surf, pier or boat. The OBX offers each angler 

a unique opportunity to catch a host of different species. 

For the offshore fishermen, the Tuna bite will hopefully be 

producing good catches if you can get them to the boat 

past those hungry sharks. Nearshore fishermen should be 

able to troll for King Mackerel using live bait, ballyhoo, cigar 

minnows, and spoons. Surf and pier fishermen should 

be able to get good catches of Puppy Drum, Bluefish, Sea 

Mullets, and Spot. Hopefully the big Red Drum will be in 

full swing off the surf and the piers. Even though this is a 

catch and release fishery, catching a Red Drum is still a 

great fish to catch. I know a lot of us hardcore Drum fishermen 

always joke that we put alot of time and effort in a 

fish we have to release. But until you have had the honor 

of catching one of these prolific fish, I really cannot explain 

how fun it really is. 

Speaking of catching, make sure you are here on the OBX 

and catch the TW’s Thanksgiving Week Sale. TW’s was 

founded by Terry and Robin Stewart 39 years ago, and 

this local business has been outfitting local and visiting 

fishermen since 1980. I am a third generation customer, 

and I can remember my first visit to TW’s like it was yesterday. 

Although the store I first visited has been replaced 

with the nice new one, you still can expect well stocked 

and reasonably priced fishing and hunting gear. Every 

year starting on Thanksgiving Day and ending on Sunday 

at closing, TW’s has a huge sale on all of their items in the 

store. Everything is on sale--rods, reels, tackle, coolers, 

and clothing. This is a great time to grab some Christmas 

presents for yourself or someone you know. If you don’t 

know what to buy, TW’s offers a TW’s Gift Certificate that 

makes a perfect gift or stocking stuffer! Bring your holiday 

shopping list and support this local business as they have 

supported our area in the last 39 years. On Saturday of 

the sale week, the 39th Annual TW’s Oyster Roast and 

Customer Appreciation Day will be held at the Nags Head 

store. At this event, you can feast on some good steamed 

oysters and try some of Robin Stewart’s “Famous Fish 

Salad.” Make sure you don’t miss this annual event. 

I am happy to announce that the Outer Banks Anglers 

Club’s new Artificial Reef is coming closer to being a reality. 

The last hoop in the regulatory maze is almost complete, 

and the club is anxiously awaiting the final permit 

be issued. Then the boats can be sunk offshore to create 

the new reef. Our club would like to thank Terry and Robin 

Stewart, the owners of TW’s, for their generous support 

of the Artificial Reef Project. Hopefully next month I can 

report that the permits have been issued. 

I hope everyone has a safe and bountiful Thanksgiving!

Along with the GUARANTEED CASH VALUE, DIVIDENDS, ADDED 

AN EXTRA JOLT OF MONEY VALUE INTO TO POLICY that made 

the internal value the “LIVING BENEFITS” grow very fast and very 

large..It was easy for a policy owner to keep track of his money 

value, they did not need a FINANCIAL PLANNER to tell them the 

value of their fund, they did not have to pay a PLANNER to manage 

these monies, it is all done within the WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE 

POLICY!!! Also, it is possible to take money out of the plan with 

no INCOME TAX to pay..You do not have to be a financial wizz to 

obtain your value or retrieve your money!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, since TERM 

LIFE INS. has been the wave of the future, this policy , this forgotten 

WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE IS BEGINNING TO MAKE A GREAT 

COMEBACK.. Older agents ,like myself, who sell these plans are beginning 

to offer it to their clients again and tell them there is another 

place money can grow for you, maybe not as glamorous as the stock 

market or mutual funds, where you can lose fists full of money and 

take years to recover those losses, NO MONEY IS LOST IN WHOLE 

LIFE INSURANCE, no matter what, it keeps on growing up.. as long 

as you pay your premiums to keep the LIFE INS.active, your money 

will never go down.. it is steady..As a very wise man, MARK TWAIN, 

said “I am not as worried about the return ON my money, as I am on 

the return OF my money”.. I am not saying that WHOLE LIFE INS. is 

the only place to earn value, but it should be considered as a extra 

way!! If anyone wishes to contact me with questions on this topic or 

any other insurance topic, you can call me at 252 202 5983 or 252 

335 5983, or e-mail me at WWW.INSDR@ROADRUNNER.COM... 

Until next month, HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU!! “Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great 

puzzle.”

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: Why do social groups helping their 

members more than folks in other social groups matter 

to so many people?? Everybody does it. White/Black/ 

Hispanic fellow. 

Dear Concerned Fellow: If you go to https://www. 

findlaw.com/ on the internet you can find legal decisions 

showing it is often not legal. Also, there are moral 

aspects to consider. For Dr. Crime, the impact on crime 

is vital. Strong research in Vol. 73 #7 of American Psychologist 

is a review of many studies showing that the 

impact of racial / ethnic discrimination on adolescents 

is poorer self-esteem, lower school grades, more risky 

sexual behaviors and drug use. Also, they have more 

delinquent friends. So everyone is better off is we can 

create a fairer world for everyone. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Have the mass shootings impressed 

people widely or not? Angry citizen 

Dear Angry: Join the club. I hear from a lot of people 

that want a safer world. A recent survey fond that 1/3 of 

adult Americans fear going places in their communities. 

It is twice as high for Hispanics as for whites. And 63% 

of parents fear their kids may be in a mass shooting. 

We have a problem! 

Dear Dr. Crime: What is house arrest? Mary Lou 

Dear Mary Lou: Courts can sentence convicted 

offenders to remain in their own home, not leaving the 

premises, rather than go to jail. The State of Florida 

has used that option since the mid-1980s and report 

that incarceration rates have dropped markedly since 

the program’s inception. The crooks pay restitution, 

pay the State to offset the cost of supervision, and work 

to support dependents and families. Sounds good . 

Dear Dr. Crime: Does capital punishment reduce 

crimes(1)? Victim. 

Dear Victim: Research in a law journal reported that 

capital punishment has a strong deterrent effect; each 

execution results, on average, in eighteen fewer murders. 

Dear Dr. Crime: How do I find a lawyer. I am in trouble.

Dear Bad Girl: Try “Legal Match” at the website:www.

Chowanoke History 

by Duvonya Chavis 

November is Native American Heritage Month. As 

American Indians in North Carolina hold various 

celebrations all month, we honor our culture and history as 

Indigenous people of this land. North Carolina is home to 

over 150,000 American Indians, having the largest Native 

population east of the Mississippi. 

North Carolina’s coastal tribes were one of the first in North 

America to be impacted by British colonization. Colonizers 

felt entitled to Indigenous lands through their belief in the 

Doctrine of Discovery and this belief subsequently justified 

their taking land throughout America, including lands that 

the Chowanoke held. 

As Indigenous people celebrate their heritage all month, a 

unified sentiment permeates a hope of restoration for our 

country and homeland. We are reminded that the United 

States is a place where we once built our communities and 

interacted culturally with family and other tribal members 

for thousands upon thousands of generations. America is 

where we fished, maintained gardens, hunted, drew from 

the bountiful resources of our land and had fun socially. 

We respected the earth and environment and in turn, it 

served us well. 

Native culture was naturally quite different from the colonizers. 

We freely danced, drummed and sang whereas the 

settlers were unable to acclimate to this. Even our hygiene 

practices were different as noted in historic records. Consequently 

our cultures clashed and over time, like many 

other tribes, the Chowanoke were confined to a reservation 

along Bennett’s Creek. Ultimately, the Chowanoke lost 

even the little portion that remained. 

When the opportunity to reclaim a part of our history 

presented nearly 225 years later, we undoubtedly had to 

seize it. For Chowanoke descendants, this signifies our 

history and the perpetuation of our existence as Indigenous 

people. It reminds future generations to remember 

our resilience even in the aftermath of the atrocities that 

occurred to our people, a genocide of many variations 

which continued throughout America into the 20th century. 

The historic reservation is a place where we can preserve 

our heritage and celebrate the continuation of Chowanoke 

people. 

Gates County holds fond memories for many who remember 

Chowanoke ancestors and relatives who continued to 

live in the heart of Gates County and talk about their Indian 

heritage. It is only fitting that we honor our ancestors with 

these memories, honor those who fought so hard to remain 

a tribal unit on communal lands in Gates County, honor 

those who fought for restoration after the reservation was 

lost, and honor those who will come after us by providing 

an opportunity to have a land base to perpetuate the 

Chowanoke heritage. 

North Carolina will celebrate its 24th Annual American 

Indian Heritage Celebration at the NC Museum of History 

in Raleigh on November 23, 2019 from 11 am to 4 pm. You 

are invited to join as we celebrate. 

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.

Tips to Take Great Pet Pics 

(StatePoint) Whether you’re hoping to make your dog an 

Instagram sensation or you just want a nice portrait for 

the mantle, you’ve likely discovered pets, in general, can 

be elusive around cameras. 

Check out these tips and tricks for getting your fur baby 

to sit for the camera and look picture perfect, from e-tailer 

Zulily, creative photographer, Taylor Graham: 

• After choosing a great location for your shoot, give your 

pet a few minutes to get comfortable with the new setting. 

• If you’re shooting outside, situate your pet in a shaded 

area. Direct sunlight can make your pet look greasy, and 

distracting shadows can obscure important features. A 

flat, overcast day makes for the most flattering pet photos. 

• Get low to your pet’s level and frame the face tightly, 

focusing on eyes for maximum impact. Remember to 

photograph the most endearing parts of your pet. Often 

overlooked, paws and ears can be some of the most expressive 

and adorable features of your furry friend. 

• Treats and squeaky toys are a given for getting pets to 

focus, but make sure you’re using them to your advantage. 

Hold the toy or treat as close to the lens as possible. 

This will get your pet’s gaze right where you want it to be. 

• Most cameras and camera phones have a “burst mode” 

that takes many pictures in a row. Later you can select 

the perfect frame. 

• Don’t just pose your dog against a white wall. Add flair 

with accessories that fit your pet’s personality. For unique 

pet products at great prices, shop apps like Zulily that offer 

quirky must-have items, stylish accessories, treats and 

pampering products. Their 72-hour sales represent some 

of the best deals in retail. 

• With easy-to-use smartphone apps like VSCO and 

Photoshop: Express, you can adjust brightness, color and 

sharpness to bring a professional quality to images in 

seconds. 

With a few tricks up your sleeve, you can take better pet 

snapshots and capture some amazing memories of your 

furry friend.

Massage and Sciatica 

What is sciatica? 

Sciatica refers to pain along the sciatic nerve, 

which extends from your lower back through 

your hips and buttocks - down each leg. It 

usually affects only one side of the body but 

can range from mild to severe. Other symptoms 

such as numbness, tingling, or even weakness 

in the affected leg and foot often accompany it. 

Sciatic pain can interfere with your daily activities 

and make standing, walking, and even 

sitting painful and difficult. 

Massage is an effective way to relieve pain. 

Massage’s main benefit is to soothe tense muscles 

because when they are agitated, they can 

put more pressure on your nerves. Soft tissue 

massage may also help to increase your pain 

threshold by stimulating the release of endorphins 

with boots pleasure and relieve pain. 

Massage for sciatica will not cure the underlying 

cause of your pain, but it can help relieve 

your symptoms and improve your quality of life. 

Speak with your doctor about your symptoms 

before starting massage therapy to make sure 

it is safe for you.

Albemarle Loop’s Fall Festivities 

by Claude Milot 

Just out of curiosity, I went to the Internet the other 

day to look up history’s greatest inventions. I found 

several lists, their rankings dependent on whoever 

compiled each list. All included the obvious ones: the 

wheel, the nail, the compass, paper, the printing press, 

the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, the 

telephone, the light bulb, and, of course, the computer. 

Other lists focused not so much on inventions but on 

discoveries, such as electricity and its uses, gun powder 

and dynamite, radioactivity, penicillin, and nuclear fission. 

At the top of every list was fire and how pre-historic 

man put it to use. 

Still others listed the greatest inventors: Archimedes (the 

lever, the pulley, the screw), Cai Lun (paper), Galileo and 

Newton (the telescope), Leonardo Da Vinci, Gutenberg, 

and the many geniuses we all read about in our schoolbooks: 

Ben Franklin, James Watt, Samuel B. Morse, 

Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Alfred Nobel, 

Nikola Tesla, et. al. 

But after perusing all these lists I wondered why none of 

them mentioned the boat or the sea voyages of discovery 

by men like Columbus, Magellan, and Darwin. Why 

not? Boats have carried humans and goods throughout 

history. Boats are mentioned in the Bible (Noah’s Ark) 

and they are linked to homo erectus as far back as 

800,000 years ago. Humans certainly could not have 

discovered Australia 40,000 years ago on foot, and there 

is archeological evidence of canoes being used in 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

Netherlands around 8,000 BCE. On a personal note, my 

children could not have been born had I not met my wife 

on an ocean crossing in 1962. But I digress. 

The point is that the boat in all its forms from dugout to 

cargo ship has played a major role in human history. 

Pleasure crafts docked in Albemarle Sound marinas are 

all linked to that history. And avid sailors, whether doing 

the Albemarle Loop or heading south for the winter on 

the ICW could do worse than to thank the many navigators, 

discoverers, and inventors who made it possible for 

them to enjoy the marvels of modern-day boating.

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.

SPECKLED TROUT 

T 

he fall speckled trout or as some say “Spotted Sea Trout” fishing 

down east has been on fire this year. Limits of tasty trout have been 

easy to come by in Croatan, Roanoke, and Pamlico Sounds since mid 

summer and early fall. It appears that the trout population has rebounded 

from the freezing winter of two years ago that cold stunned much of 

the trout population in our area. Trout season was closed for a while after 

that freeze event and both size limits and creel limits were reduced. 

You can now keep four speckled trout per day over 14 inches which is 

a blessing since flounder season and striper season are both closed in 

the Pamlico sound fishery. Anglers are catching trout along the marshy 

banks of the sounds using light tackle with a variety of lures. The lures 

used range from the old standbys such as Mirrolures to the new soft 

plastics like Zman. 

Another great way to catch Specks is on top water lures such as the 

Spook Jr or Skitterwalk which can bring about amazing action at times. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my share of trout fishing over the past couple 

of months. My favorite method is easing along the marshy banks and 

points of Pamlico Sound with my 2500 light set up using a ¼ ounce 

jig head with a 4” soft plastic … the “thump” of a trout bite on this gear 

is amazing. Along with the fun of catching these great fish, you also 

have the pleasure of eating one of the best tasting fish in eastern North 

Carolina. Speckled Trout are one of the easiest fish to clean and can be 

prepared so many great ways. My favorite way to cook them is to pan 

fry boneless skinless filets coated in Louisiana Fish Fry Crispy Breader 

… that is outstanding. I also like to blacken filets and broil them in the 

oven as well. You just can’t beat the Speckled Trout in eastern NC for a 

great catch and quality table fare!!

The Dancing Angels 

“How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” 

Doubtless, you’ve heard this question before, and you knew 

straightaway that it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. 

Angels have been long dismissed from modern thought, 

pretty much assigned to the same wastebasket of history 

into which the “flat earth” and the “green cheese moon” have 

been thrown. At the beginning of the modern age, in the 

1600’s, some philosophers started poking fun at the idea of 

even thinking about such beings. They dismissed such thinking 

as mere and idle speculation, about as useless as arguing 

over “How many angels can dance upon the tip of a needle?” 

For your information, by the way, no one in the medieval 

church -- Thomas Aquinas nor any of the Scholastics -- 

ever posed such a nonsensical question. This famous (and 

irresponsible) question actually came from post-Reformation 

philosophers: neither sort had any room for angels or even 

rumors of angels: angels were not material and thus could 

not be observed, experimented upon, and defined. So therefore, 

in a “flat” sort of scientific worldview, they were simply 

dismissed. 

But the modern world, despite its technological prowess, cannot 

afford to be so blindfolded. There is more to reality than 

what can be scientifically proven or even proposed. Hope 

and meaning, truth and goodness and even beauty cannot be 

manufactured from elementary particles. 

We would be better off with a worldview that recognizes 

angels. Realistically and practically speaking, they’re all 

around. From the time of Apostles, the Christian Church has 

emphasized angels as a necessity for belief and life. There 

is no place in Creation that is not without angelic presence. 

Everything in the world is “managed” by these non-material 

beings, even the stars, even strange numbers like pi and e 

and the golden ratio. 

But closest to our experience are the Guardian Angels. Every 

one of us has one, whose entire task is to help us become 

utterly transformed by divine love: 

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones,” the 

Lord said in Matthew 18.10, “for I tell you that in heaven 

their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in

Misinformation in the media

With the rise of the internet and social 

media in the last 25 years, it has become 

increasingly easier to get our information and 

news at our fingertips. In that same vein, it has 

also given way to more “fake” news and cherry-picked 

distributed stories. So how is it that 

we can decipher what news and information are 

accurate and which ones are absent of truth? It’s 

getting harder every day to make this determination. 

Every media outlet and news sources 

we have access to tell a story, but sometimes 

not the story. Sometimes surfing the world 

wide web and finding out correct information as 

opposed to just the headlines that you read can 

be difficult but not impossible. Yet the majority of 

people won’t take the time to do the actual research 

to find out if the article or headlines they 

are reading our true or not. Some of the major 

news outlets, especially the cable networks, 

actually depend on you, not fact-checking their 

stories. So-called “fake news” has run rampant 

most of our lives but seems to have gotten 

worse in the past decade. Executive Order 

signed June 6, 2012, entitled Assignment of 

National Security and Emergency Preparedness 

Communications Functions. Former President 

Obama has enabled the executive branch to 

control communications “under all circumstances 

to ensure national security, effectively manage 

emergencies, and improve national resilience.” 

Now, the federal government has broad authority 

to disseminate information to its citizens to 

push their agenda. So how can we, as citizens, 

differentiate between what’s actual news and 

what’s agenda-driven propaganda? That’s easy. 

Research, research, research trust but verify. It 

takes just a few minutes to find a search engine 

and look up multiple sources regarding the 

information you have questions. Find out if what 

you are reading and seeing on social media and 

news outlets is the actual story or just a part of 

the story. Considering all the misinformation and 

“fake news” distributed throughout the media 

outlets, that’s the only way to know if what you 

are hearing and seeing has any truth in it at all. 

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought 

to go from here?” “That depends a good deal 

on where you want to get to.” “I don’t much care 

where –” “Then it doesn’t matter which way you 

go.”

Art in the Albemarle Area 

November!! What a wonderful month, the 

colors have changed on all the leaves, there is a 

cool crispness in the air, and arts and craft fairs 

abound! Everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving 

and Christmas. It is one of the favorite times 

of the year to be an artist and craftsman. If the 

opportunity arises please take the time to support 

our local artists and craftsmen at the myriad of 

fairs and shows in our area. 

This is the opportunity for you to “ get 

your art on!” Go to the craft fairs and bazaars. 

Check out the artwork that is available in your 

area. Many times our visits to the local community 

activities will allow us to see the work of some 

amazing artists. There is a great deal of artwork 

to be viewed and retained during this time of year. 

Perhaps you will see a bit of work that you had 

thought about creating but didn’t have theopportunity 

to get to make. Spend time talking to the 

artisan or crafter. Many of these people are more 

than willing to share with you. But if you don’t ask, 

you will never find out! Take your time when going 

through the exhibits. If you see something you like 

purchase it. Support your local artisans and craftsmen. 

Don’t forget the old addage...” Sure you can 

make it …. but will you?” 

With the Holiday season coming up soon, 

consider making a few personal cards. I assure 

you people love getting hand made cards. You will 

have hours of fun making your own greeting cards. 

It is relaxing and illuminating. It becomes an act of 

putting something of yourself into a card especially 

painted for someone near and dear to you. If you 

have never done this before, I encourage you to 

get yourself a kit, (usually you have to go on-line 

or to an art store), break out your paints and have 

fun!! You may evn consider making your own 

“pop_up” cards. There are a plethora of lessons 

that can be found instructing you on how to create 

these cute cards. 

Try to extend your talents this holiday 

season. Don’t limit yourself. Do something you 

have wanted to try. You will never know unless you 

make the attempt. As with any other project, your 

first time will be a challenge. However, the more 

you attempt them, the faster and better you will 

get. Don’t rush.... have fun with these projects! 

Don’t forget the First Friday Art Walk 

in Elizabeth City that occurs each month. Also, 

check out the arts and crafts classes offered in and 

around your county.

Work has begun on the foundation of our 

new house on Fifth Street. That means 

we need lots of volunteers to build this house. 

We need people to help with the construction, 

but we also need lots of other volunteers 

working behind the scenes to make this house 

a reality for our partner family. 

Here are some other ways you can help: 

We need lunches for our volunteers. We 

usually have 15-20 people at the worksite 

volunteering their time and talents. We need 

groups and individuals to prepare and serve 

these lunches. We also need people to call 

local churches and organizations to schedule 

groups to prepare lunches. 

We have encountered more expenses with 

this house than we anticipated. The foundation 

costs were double what we anticipated due 

to the height required and the city has a new 

water and sewer impact fee of $6000 which we 

didn’t anticipate. We need additional donations 

to help us fund this project. Our immediate 

needs are for windows, doors and siding. If 

you can donate any of these items or can 

make a financial contribution to help, it would 

be a big help. 

We need someone to research grants and 

funding sources and someone to write grants. 

If you have experience in either of these areas, 

we would love to talk to you. 

Once the house is complete, we will hold a 

house dedication and would like to present the 

new homeowner with housewarming gifts. 

In addition to this house, we recently had 

two homeowners pass away. To prepare 

those houses for new families, we have to do 

repairs. One will need a new HVAC unit at 

$4100. The other will need to be repainted and 

will need new flooring at $4000. These were 

unexpected expenses and we are looking for 

donors to help us with these costs. We have 

already identified qualified partner families for 

these houses. 

If you can help us with any of these projects, 

please contact Jane Elfring, 252-384-0115, 

jelfri@bellatlantic.net.

Museum of the Albemarle 

T 

he 

Museum of the Albemarle has several new 

exhibits we hope you each will try to visit. A Thousand 

Words: Photographs by Vietnam Veterans, will be 

on exhibit from November 9, 2019 until April 30, 2020. 

The exhibit is on loan from the North Carolina Museum 

of History in Raleigh. This collection of images, 

assembled by photographer Martin Tucker, was taken 

by North Carolina soldiers in Vietnam. The exhibition 

also includes a Missing Man Table, to remind visitors 

of those that did not return home in addition to a 50th 

anniversary flag given to the Museum of the Albemarle 

for becoming a Commemorative Partner of the American 

Vietnam Commemoration. 

Accompanying the traveling exhibit will be Vietnam era 

artifacts on display in the Museum of the Albemarle’s 

main gallery, Our Story. In addition, please view our social 

media sites for related programming on November

Museum of the Albemarle 

9 including a lecture and book signing by Martin Tucker 

and a weather-permitting view of a historically restored 

PBR 721 at Waterfront Park. 

In addition, in our main gallery, Our Story, we recently 

installed a case containing artifacts recovered during 

archaeological excavations at the 31DR1 “Croatan” 

site. In 1759 Royal Governor Arthur Dobbs decreed 

land in this area to the Hatteras Indians to ease tensions 

between Indians and Colonials. Those artifacts 

include circa 1650 Charles II bale seal, tubular beads, 

bone pin or needle, caulking chisel, lead musket ball, 

and a copper human effigy that perhaps served as a 

clothing ornament. You can view in the same case a 

circa 1675 pewter button and an English farthing and 

a circa 1700 decorative bone button all related to the 

“Croatan” site. 

The Museum of the Albemarle is located at 501 S. Water Street, 

Elizabeth City, NC. (252) 335-1453. Hours are Monday through 

Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Closed Sundays and State Holidays.

Guitar Tech Talk 

Sorry for the absence folks, but I have a very busy 

life and its hard sometimes to find time to sit down 

and write these very important articles. Now, that said, 

lets dive into this months Tech talk. People ask me a lot 

of questions about buying the right guitar. Price verses 

quality. Name Brand verses unfamiliar brand, ect… I 

always try and answer in this way. Play it! See how it 

sounds. How it feels in your hands. How the playing action 

feels. Will it do what I want it to do. Then, you can 

start to see whether the price is worth it. Buying a Guitar 

is not all that different than buying a car. You want 

to test it out before you purchase. I would never buy a 

guitar that I have not played. But that’s just me. Lol. But 

if you can, buy local. That is the single most important 

“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re 

all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.” “How do 

you know I’m mad?” said Alice. “You must 

be,” said the Cat, or you wouldn’t have come 

here.” 

thing you can do for your community. Buying local puts 

revenue into the local economy. Unless of course its not 

available. Understandable. Now, I will step off my soap 

box. Lol. Here at Fine Tuning Guitar Repair, we strive 

to put instruments in the hands of People. That simple. 

I make every guitar I sell, as playable as possible for 

a good price. It truly is the only way to sell a guitar or 

instrument. I personally setup every guitar I sell. I want 

you to be happy with it. I want it to do what you need 

it to do. So, if you have any questions about a guitar 

or other instrument, please feel free to contact me and 

ask. I will be happy to help. So until next month remember, 

Play well, Play hard, and Play often!!

In Praise of Pomegranates 

We can all agree that the pomegranate is a lovely fruit, but 

what does one do with it? Rosie’s here to help you with 

that. I’m using the beautiful crimson seeds, or arils, as a pop 

of tart flavor with oysters on the half shell, and then I’m using 

the juice in a vibrant reduction sauce for seared scallops. 

First, we have to get into the pomegranate to get the goods. 

Slice it in half and, holding each half over a bowl, spank it 

with a wooden spoon, letting the arils fall into the bowl along 

with the juices. Squeeze halves to dislodge any remaining 

seeds and to get all the juice. Discard the rind and the fleshy 

membranes. 

For my appetizer, I’m going with oysters on the half shell 

topped with a spinach mixture and accented with piquant 

pomegranate seeds. 

Rosie’s Oysters On The Half Shell With A Pomegranate 

Punch 

Shuck and arrange 2 dozen oysters on a baking sheet. 

For the toppings: 

1 TB unsalted butter 

¼ cup finely chopped onion 

2 cups chopped spinach 

2 TB cream 

4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled 

1 TB chopped red pepper 

Grated Parmesan cheese 

Panko breadcrumbs 

Pomegranate arils 

In a medium skillet, melt the butter. Add onion and cook, 

stirring, for a minute. Add spinach and stir until just wilted. 

Add cream and red pepper, stirring to combine. Remove 

from heat. 

Top each oyster with a teaspoon or so of the spinach mixture. 

Add bacon, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and a sprinkling of arils. 

Run under a 450° broiler for about 5 minutes or until the 

cheese melts and the panko is slightly browned.

My entrée is seared scallops lazing in a pomegranate pool 

with a side of black rice. Toasted walnuts, orange zest, 

green onion spirals, and ruby red arils enhance both flavor 

and presentation.

Seared Scallops With Pomegranate Reduction 

1 lb. large scallops (about 15) 

Prepare the scallops: Tear off that little tough “foot” muscle 

on the side of each scallop and discard. Rinse scallops and 

pat dry. Season with freshly ground pepper. 

Prepare the pomegranate reduction: In a small saucepan, 

combine 1 cup pomegranate juice, 1 tablespoon Balsamic 

vinegar, 1 TB honey, and a sprig of rosemary. Bring to a 

slow simmer and reduce to about ¼ volume. This will take 

about 20 minutes. Discard rosemary and remove from heat. 

Whenever I’m reducing a sauce, I place the saucepan inside 

a cast iron skillet to diffuse the heat as a precaution against 

burning. 

Other ingredients: 

Black rice, which I like for the nutty flavor 

Toasted walnuts 

Scallions, chopped and curled. Chop the white bulb part, 

saving the green stems. To curl scallions, cut stems into 3 

inch lengths and then cut lengths into thin strips. Submerge 

strips in ice water. They’ll curl up in a few minutes. 

2 TB White wine 

2 TB fresh orange juice 

2 TB unsalted butter 

Pomegranate arils 

Orange zest 

Cook the scallops: 

Pour a thin film of peanut oil in a heavy skillet over medium 

high heat. Add 2 TB unsalted butter. When the butter starts 

foaming (about 375°), add the scallops, one at a time. Resist 

temptation to move them around in the pan. After about 2 

minutes, turn scallops over and cook another 1 ½-2 minutes. 

Remove from pan. With the pan off the heat, pour in white 

wine. Return to heat, carefully tilting pan to ignite (The fun 

part!). Scrape up the goodie bits; that’s where all the flavor 

is. Pour in orange juice and stir until reduced by half. Drop 

in butter, one TB at a time, stirring until melted. Pour over 

scallops. 

To plate: Mound black rice on plate. Add toasted walnuts 

and chopped and curled scallions. Pour a pool of pomegranate 

reduction onto plate and place seared scallops in the 

juice. Sprinkle with orange zest and pomegranate arils.

Caveman walking stick By Jim Van Sant 

The lake near our rural home has a long hiking trail that 

winds around its shore. We walk on this path in the morning 

through the oak trees and scrub brush. The wildlife we 

see while wandering along the trail includes wild turkeys, jack 

rabbits, Canadian geese, deer, lizards, and songbirds. But 

now there is trouble in paradise. 

Jim Van Sant with his ‘Caveman’ walking stick 

The local forest ranger posted a warning sign at the entrance 

to “our” trail showing a color picture of a big cat. Yes, it was a 

big yellow mountain lion. You may know it in your own home 

area as a cougar, catamount, panther, painter, or a puma. My 

wife and I have seen all the wonderful creatures up close and 

personal except for the mountain lions. The warning said the 

cats are most active early in the morning and early evenings. 

We remembered a couple of news stories in the past years 

about how local hikers had been attacked by the big predators. 

The most memorable incident was the mountain lion that 

jumped down on the lone woman jogger’s back from a high 

bank running along the trail edge and bit through her spinal 

cord at the base of her skull. Since they have been protected, 

there are 50,000 in the world and California alone has 

an estimated population of 5,000 mountain lions. The large 

males can weigh up to 150 pounds. Reading on this subject 

tells us that more than 280 attacks and more than 40 fatalities 

have been documented by cougars. Most attacks occur on 

women and children due to their smaller size. The warnings 

advise not to run as the cats are attracted by motion just like 

their close relative, your friendly purring house cat. I would 

like to bring one of my trusty pistols along for company on our 

hikes, but the gun laws in California are getting vague and 

squirrelly about firearms regulations. Can I carry the unloaded 

pistol locked in the trunk, if I carry the ammunition inside on 

the back seat floor? If I wear the holster under my jacket on 

a cold day do I need a concealed carry permit? Is it OK to 

load the weapon in the parking lot in the car or should I carry 

the gear all separated down to the trail in the woods? Are the 

firearm rules different for the part of the trail that is on federal 

property than from the part of the trail that is on county property?

I settled on some good old homemade self-defense. A stout 

walking stick that could also do double duty as a spear. That’s 

right folks, caveman technology for the new millennium. 

I took a sturdy five-foot rake handle and drilled a five-inch 

deep hole in the end with my old brace and drill bit. This hole 

was the same diameter as a piece of recycled steel rebar that 

I cut to a 13-inch length with a hacksaw. I used an electric drill 

to make two small 1/8-inch holes three inches apart from one 

end of the steel rebar. These small holes were to secure the 

steel rod in the end of the wood handle with two galvanized 

nails. 

After the rebar rod was firmly tapped into the hole in the wood 

handle, I then marked the rod and measured the distance to 

the small holes. Then I drilled the same sized holes all the 

way through the handle so that nails could be inserted. 

I gave the end of the rod and inside the wood hole a shot 

of yellow glue and replaced it into the handle end. With a 

hammer, I bent the nails over and tapped the projecting ends 

into the wood so the rebar would stay tight inside the handle. 

I sharpened the end of the rod on my grindstone to a fairly 

blunt point. I wanted a pointed end but not to thin out the 

metal so much that it would quickly get bent or dull when I 

was using it as a walking stick point. I even gave the metal tip 

of my new walking stick a fast coat of paint so it would slow 

down any rusting. 

Now I was ready for our peaceful walk around the lake. My 

stout new walking “stick” in my hand made me feel confident 

that I had an edge on any feral predator, with two legs or 

four. That “cave man” technology is still working great after all 

these years. 

This confusion and uncertainty created around my Second 

Amendment rights to carry a firearm for self-protection made 

me try to think of another alternative. I could go buy a membership 

to a health club instead of walking outdoors in nature. 

I could drive thirty miles down to the city and try to find a safe 

area to walk around where I wouldn’t worry about getting 

mugged by a street criminal with a concealed gun. 

A rake handle with recycled rebar inserted makes a stout 

walking stick that can also be used for self-defense. 

Instead, in true Backwoods Home spirit, I came up with a 

self-reliant alternative. Thinking back to Early Man and how 

he defended himself and his loved ones from wild predators,

The Bible and Self Defense 

Chapter 3 

We saw in the second article that the sixth commandment, 

Exodus 20:13, teaches murder is wrong. 

Within the context of the whole Bible, the idea that the sixth 

commandment teaches all killing is wrong was shown to be 

without merit. Then we found, some fifty verses later, that if 

someone broke into a home at night and the tenant took the 

life of the interloper, he was justified to defend his home and 

family (Exodus 22:2-3). 

Let’s look at one more passage that points to the defense 

of home and family and introduces us to the concept of defending 

others. Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem to rebuild 

the wall of the city for protection. Those who opposed this, 

decided to mount terrorist attacks against them, “Now when 

Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the Ashdodites 

heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went 

on, and that the breaches began to be closed, they were 

very angry. All of them conspired together to come and fight 

against Jerusalem and to cause a disturbance in it” (Nehemiah 

4:7-8 NASB). Nehemiah had no army. His were simple 

people who came to rebuild the wall and inhabit Jerusalem. 

In response to this threat of terrorist attacks, he had his 

workers defend the unfinished wall in a very interesting way. 

“Our enemies said, ‘They will not know or see until we come 

among them, kill them and put a stop to the work.’ … then 

I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the 

wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families 

with their swords, spears and bows” (4:11-13 NASB). 

Knowing that defending family would highly motivate the 

defenders, Nehemiah set the guard according to family 

groups. He knew that the defense would be much more 

important if one was defending his family. 

“When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and 

that God had frustrated their plan, then all of us returned 

to the wall, each one to his work” (4:15 NASB). Notice 

that when the terrorists realized Nehemiah’s people were 

armed, they chose to leave them alone. This is a very 

strong passage about trusting in God while placing your 

sword (handgun) in its scabbard (holster) and carrying your 

spear (AR15). At least in part, God used the due diligence 

of the people to thwart the terrorist attack even while they 

trusted in Him. 

In Nehemiah’s case above, the possible attack was not 

an all-out war but a small terrorist activity. That is the way it 

so often was in the Old Testament. Even Abraham delivered 

his cousin Lot and others who were kidnapped and taken 

hostage. He had trained and armed men ready to go after 

those terrorists at any given moment. When they overtook 

and overpowered those terrorists, Abraham gave praise 

to the God he trusted after he wielded sword and spear 

(Genesis 14). Even as Abraham and Nehemiah trusted 

God, trained for defense, and then picked up their arms, the 

Psalmist penned, “Blessed be the Lord, my rock, Who trains 

by Dr. Richard Seim 

my hands for war, and my fingers for battle,” (Psalm 144:1 

NASB). 

By the way, a quick side note here: When the Philistines 

wanted to subjugate Israel, they disarmed them, “Now no 

blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, for the 

Philistines said, ‘Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords 

or spears’ ’’ (1 Samuel 13:19-22). 

Those passages point out that self defense and defense 

of home and family, even to the point of lethal force, is 

acceptable when justified. Obviously, part of the point of the 

Nehemiah passage is that we are to defend each other as 

well. In my opinion, Nehemiah 4 makes a very strong case 

for diligent church security against terrorists or even one 

terrorist invading a church gathering. 

Biblically, what is our responsibility to each other? 

Ecclesiastes 4:9a & 12a says, “Two are better than one … 

if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him” 

(NASB). Did you notice verse 12a? “And if one can overpower 

him who is alone, two can resist him.” At least three 

concepts are pointed out here. 

First, the Bible teaches that it is not good to be overpowered. 

Rather than being overpowered, it is better to resist 

the one attempting to overpower you. If you cannot resist 

so as to overcome, then secondly, it teaches that if you 

can have a partner wherever it is that you might be overpowered, 

you should take him with you, that way you have 

backup. I may in fact come to the defense of another. A third 

concept is, even though one is to trust the Lord, the Lord 

here points out that the one trusting Him can be overcome 

and should defend himself, with help. Again, in the church 

gathering setting, the application is that we are to aid each 

other in case someone attempts to overpower us. At the 

very least, it instructs us to watch each other’s backs. 

A very interesting passage dealing with the need to help 

another in trouble is found in Deuteronomy, “If in the field 

the man finds the girl who is engaged, and the man forces 

her and lies with her, then only the man who lies with her 

shall die. But you shall do nothing to the girl; there is no sin 

in the girl worthy of death, for just as a man rises against his 

neighbor and murders him, so is this case. When he found 

her in the field, the engaged girl cried out, but there was no 

one to save her” (Deuteronomy 22:23-27 NASB). This passages 

teaches that if a man rapes a woman, he should pay 

the death penalty. Note that the Old Testament legal system 

considers rape on the same level as murder (“only the man 

who lies with her shall die”). 

Notice verse twenty-seven, “the engaged girl cried out, 

but there was no one to save her.” Implied here, unmistakably, 

is the fact that if a woman is “crying out” because she 

Reprinted with permission from the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network Inc. 

fears she is about to be raped or is in the process of such 

an assault, those who hear her are supposed to help her. 

So, according to the Bible, we do have a right or responsibility 

to assist others. 

So the Scripture tells us that defense of self, family and 

others is wise and that backup is always a good idea, “two 

are better than one.” It also teaches us that, if someone is 

yelling for help because a violent crime, such as rape, is 

eminent, those who hear the cry should help. 

In our next article we will move into the New Testament to 

determine the meaning of passages such as, “But I say to 

you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on 

your right cheek, turn the other to him also” (Matthew 5:39 

NASB).

Five ways to support shelter animals if you’re not ready to adopt 

(BPT) - The winter months, which are often 

considered some of the busiest for animal shelters, 

are approaching. According to the ASPCA, 

approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter 

shelters every year. Adding a shelter pet to your 

family can be fulfilling, but what if you’re not ready 

or able to adopt? 

Hartz Loving Paws is committed to supporting 

companion animals in shelters through product 

donations and volunteer events. Hartz is partnering 

with the Humane Society of the New Braunfels 

Area in Texas to share opportunities for you to give 

back to pets in need if you’re not ready or able to 

adopt. 

1. Donate money or product. 

Many animal shelters and rescue organizations 

have direct donation links posted on their websites. 

Monetary donations go toward pet food, 

medical attention and vaccines for the animals. 

Animal shelters and rescue organizations also 

often create Amazon wish lists with desired products. 

Shelters typically ask for pet treats, toys and 

grooming supplies. 

Sarah Hammond, executive director of the Humane 

Society of the New Braunfels Area in Texas, 

said she is grateful for donations from Hartz Loving 

Paws, which has given more than $2 million worth 

of product to shelters and organizations, including 

her own, since its inception in 2016. 

2. Provide a temporary home. 

Animal shelters and rescue organizations offer 

numerous volunteer roles, such as dog walkers, 

adoption support and training support. Many 

positions don’t require prior experience and can 

be applied for on your local shelter or rescue 

organization’s website. Volunteer positions vary in 

expectations and demand, so there is a position 

for everyone. 

You can also volunteer to participate in a shelter 

rebuild project. Hartz Loving Paws renovates 

shelters twice a year in partnership with Greater- 

Good.org’s Rescue Rebuild program. These teams 

work with shelters to create playful and welcoming 

environments for animals. 

4. Take photos of adoptable pets. 

Help animals find homes sooner by taking adoption 

photos for local shelters. Many people search 

for adoptable pets online, and with a great profile 

picture, animals have a greater chance at being 

adopted. If you’re new to photography, there are 

free training videos available on the One Picture 

Saves a Life website that show how to take better 

photos of shelter pets. 

5. Become an advocate. 

Follow animal shelters and rescue organizations 

on social media and reshare their content. Talk to 

your family and friends about the importance of 

caring for shelter pets while they await their forever 

homes and share how they can help. 

An increased number of animals placed in shelters 

need foster care before they are ready to find their 

forever homes. Foster needs range from post-op 

surgical care to puppy growth care and medical 

support. 

Food, medication and other supplies are typically 

provided when fostering, and the length of time a 

foster pet may stay in your home varies depending 

on the animal’s needs. Contact your local shelter 

to fill out an application. Once approved, your local 

shelter will work closely with you to find the right 

foster pet for your household. 

3. Volunteer at your local shelter or rescue organization.

This Month in History: The Contentious Election of 1876 

During this month in 1876, the presidential election of 

1876 was supposed to be decided. Except it wasn’t. 

Instead, disputes over the election outcome would continue 

all the way through March. 

It must have been ugly—but it could have been even 

worse. 

The Electoral College helped the country that year in an 

unexpected way: It isolated election disputes to only four 

states. Without the Electoral College, every vote in every 

state could have been contested. Would things have 

spun completely out of control? 

They truly could have. In those post-Civil War years, the 

nation was starkly divided between North and South. 

Many Southerners were still chafing under the restrictions 

of Reconstruction. Fraud and dishonesty were too pervasive. 

Black voters were sometimes denied access to the 

polls. At least one study has concluded that a “fair and 

free election” would have turned out differently in 1876. 

In other words, the scene was set for a hotly contested 

political contest. 

Republicans had nominated Rutherford B. Hayes, the 

Governor of Ohio. Meanwhile, Democrats had nominated 

Samuel J. Tilden, the Governor of New York. 

The results on Election Day couldn’t have made anyone 

happy. Hayes appeared to have about 250,000 fewer 

popular votes, nationwide, than Tilden; however, the 

all-important electoral vote was still up for grabs. Twenty 

electors were disputed in four states. In Florida, Louisiana, 

and South Carolina, state officials couldn’t agree 

on who had won. Thus, multiple slates of electors were 

submitted from each of those states. One electoral vote 

in Oregon was also disputed. Hayes needed all 20 of 

these electors to win. Tilden needed just one. 

Can you imagine what CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC 

would do with such a situation today?!? 

Americans in 1876 didn’t have the benefits of such mod- 

by Tara Ross 

ern technology, of course. Instead, they waited for weeks 

to see which candidate would be declared the victor. 

The situation prompted plenty of political grandstanding! 

The Senate was then controlled by Republicans, while 

the House was controlled by Democrats. No one knew 

what to do about the conflicting sets of election returns, 

but Congress finally created a (constitutionally questionable) 

Electoral Commission. That committee was 

supposed to be evenly divided, with seven Republicans, 

seven Democrats, and one independent Supreme Court 

Justice. It didn’t turn out that way. Instead, Independent 

Justice David Davis was unexpectedly elected to the 

Senate by the Illinois state legislature. His spot on the 

commission was taken by Justice Joseph Bradley, a 

Republican appointee. 

Unsurprisingly, the Republican-controlled Commission 

soon decided all 20 disputed electoral votes in favor of 

Hayes, throwing the election to him. 

Naturally, Democrats were upset, and a filibuster nearly 

sidetracked congressional acceptance of the Commission’s 

findings. Eventually, though, Congress brokered a 

compromise: Republicans indicated that they would be 

willing to bring Reconstruction to an end. In return, southern 

congressmen began withdrawing their objections. 

Hayes was finally declared the winner of the election 

at about 4:00 a.m. on March 2. Of course, action came 

about mostly because Congress had its back up against 

a wall: Only two days then remained in President Ulysses 

S. Grant’s term. 

After all the turmoil, Rutherford B. Hayes was finally 

sworn in as the country’s 19th President on March 4, 

1877. 

P.S. At this juncture, you know I must offer a friendly reminder 

that a more complete discussion of these issues 

can be found in my book, Why We Need the Electoral 

College.

How Free Trade Increases Peaceful Interaction Between Nations 

Unilateral trade is no guarantee of peace, but the evidence suggests it beats the alternative. 

by: James Devereaux 

Reprinted with permission from fee.org 

I 

f goods don’t cross borders, soldiers will.” This quote is 

often attributed to Frederic Bastiat. Alas, no authoritative 

documentation has confirmed he actually said it. Yet, it 

appears the pithy statement is nonetheless correct. 

The Relationship Between Trade and Peace 

A recent study by Jong-Wha Lee and Ju Hyun Pyun has 

found a strong correlation between trade and peace. Examining 

a “large panel data set of 243,225 country pair observations” 

over 50 years “confirms that an increase in bilateral 

trade interdependence significantly promotes peace.” But 

that is not all they found. Additionally, and most importantly, 

they found that “global trade openness significantly promotes 

peace.” This latter effect is felt more so by countries 

far apart than those that share borders. 

This is significant empirical support for those who have held 

that trade promotes peace along with prosperity. Whether 

Bastiat said it or not, plenty have contemplated the pacifying 

nature of trade, of the altered incentives when the ability to 

access markets is available. 

Whatever threat China poses to the United States, it doesn’t 

appear to improve by making trade more difficult. 

Political economist and sociologist Max Weber wrote that a 

capitalist economy is “one which rests on the expectation 

of profit by the utilization of opportunities for exchange, that 

is on (formally)peaceful chances of profit.” He contrasted 

this with “acquisition by force,” a transaction he described 

as “not expedient.” Not when compared to the peaceful 

exchange, at least. 

Making the cost to “truck, barter, and exchange” high 

increases the relative appeal of taking goods by force or occupation. 

Unfortunately, our most recent policy rhetoric and 

efforts have focused on an increase in tariffs and lowered 

trade that may result in increased tension with other nations, 

particularly China. Preventing goods from flowing between 

nations serves only a protectionist instinct. These are goods 

with pacifying externalities attached that we have rejected. 

Therefore, one should not be surprised if our mores are 

less fierce than they were formerly. Commerce has spread 

knowledge of the mores of all nations everywhere; they 

have been compared to each other, and good things have 

resulted from this. 

This thesis has been defended by classical and modern 

economists alike, from Adam Smith to Deirdre McCloskey. 

The peaceable interaction, the tempering influence, the 

gentle mores, have been considered part of the societal 

gains from commerce, both domestically and internationally, 

and now another study has indicated this is so. Commerce 

bonds distant and alien individuals. It places them on equal 

footing; not equality as some measure, but there is an inherent 

equality to market participation that creates a forum of 

participation for individuals. Denying access to markets has 

an alienating and stratifying effect within communities. It is 

no surprise this alienation duplicates across borders when 

markets are constrained. 

Unilateral Trade 

Policies that lead toward conflict should be eschewed for 

those that encourage openness and cooperation. Trade is 

such a cooperative process. It incurs fewer costs than dealing 

with conflict. Policies that orient us toward greater trade 

across borders create a path toward prosperity and peace. 

It is part of the market process that generates price, which 

Ludwig von Mises called “a social process.” The temptation 

to use state power to prevent trade arises from a protectionist 

outlook, one that employs political power to protect some 

interests over others. 

The implication of this study—and years of history—is best 

summarized by something Bastiat did in fact say: 

“Barriers result in isolation; isolation gives rise to hatred; 

hatred, to war; war, to invasion. “What difference does it 

make?” say the sophists. “Is it not better to risk the possibility 

of invasion than to accept the certainty of invasion?” And 

the people believe them, and the barriers remain standing.

Sweet Commerce 

This is another tally on the board for the doux commerce 

thesis. Translated as sweet commerce, the thesis suggests 

that commerce has a softening effect, trading violence for 

exchange. Most trace the origin of the thesis to Montesquieu, 

who wrote in his work The Spirit of the Laws: 

Commerce cures destructive prejudices, and it is an almost 

general rule that everywhere there are gentle mores, there 

is commerce and that everywhere there is commerce, there 

are gentle mores.” 

And yet, what analogy is there between an exchange and an 

invasion? What possible similarity can there be between a 

warship that comes to vomit missiles, fire, and devastation 

on our cities, and a merchant vessel that comes to offer us a 

voluntary exchange of goods for goods? 

Unilateral trade is no guarantee of peace, but the evidence 

suggests it beats the alternative.

Should You Talk to a Lawyer? by: Stella Knight 

Issues to Consider When Facing Alzheimer’s Disease 

November has been designated as National Alzheimer’s 

Month. I recently read an interesting article 

about Alzheimer’s disease and how it is affecting individuals 

in their early to mid-fifties. People often associate 

Alzheimer’s disease with an older population – usually 

in their seventies or eighties. As that article pointed out, 

there are unique concerns facing younger individuals 

suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of 

dementia. In my estate planning/elder law practice, I 

have seen firsthand the issues affecting both the individual 

and her family. First, Alzheimer’s is a progressive 

dementia, with a gradual onset of symptoms. In the early 

stages, family members may notice their loved ones 

becoming increasingly forgetful, easily distracted, and 

confused. As the individual’s memory becomes more 

impaired, her problem-solving capabilities decline and it 

is increasingly difficult to manage the activities of daily 

living such as feeding, bathing, and generally caring for 

oneself. 

Because the individual realizes that her decision-making 

capacity is declining, it is very important for her to make 

decisions regarding her finances and health care while 

she is competent. As time passes, it will become more 

difficult or even impossible for her to make these important 

decisions. What decisions should be made? 

1. Has a durable power of attorney been executed? 

This is an instrument giving another person - whether 

a family member or friend - full authority to act on the 

individual’s behalf should she become unable to manage 

her financial affairs in the future. 

2. Has a health care power of attorney been discussed? 

This is the legal document that names an 

agent and authorizes him or her to make health care 

decisions for the individual when she is unable to make 

them for herself. This is not a living will, but an entirely 

different document. 

3. Is a living will necessary? This is the document 

wherein the individual makes her desires known to her 

family and friends that she does not want to be kept 

alive by artificial means or extraordinary means when 

her condition is determined to be terminal and incurable, 

or she is diagnosed as being in a persistent vegetative 

state. 

Younger individuals with minor children may need to 

consider additional questions such as: 

1. Have you executed a will naming a loving guardian 

whose philosophy about raising children is consistent 

with yours? 

2. Have you named a minor child as the beneficiary of 

your estate? If you name a minor as the beneficiary of 

your estate, your child will inherit outright. The problem 

is that minors cannot own an estate. An effective solution 

is to leave the estate in trust with a family member, 

attorney, or bank as trustee. 

If the individual is willing, she may benefit from additional 

discussions including: 

1. Will a change of residence be necessary in the 

future? It is common for an affected individual to move 

to another state to live with adult children. 

2. Home care instructions. Do you want to remain in 

your home, move in with children, or enter a continuing 

care facility? 

3. Finally, many older individuals recognize that 

there may be a need for nursing home care. This is an 

opportunity to open discussions with children regarding 

payment of nursing home expenses and whether Medicaid 

will be a viable option for the individual. 

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but merely a 

starting point for individuals and their families. It is 

extremely important that an individual be part of the 

decision-making process while he or she is still able.

Remember the movie ‘Red Tails’? That was a 

short story about the heroic Black pilots of 

World War II. Black History Month will begin in 

February and, as before, The Tuskegee Airmen 

will either be forgotten or an afternote. Truth be 

told, they paved the way for Blacks to achieve 

things they can do today. Without them demanding 

to participate in the war, getting it approved 

through Congress (Blacks have participated 

in every conflict that Americans have been in), 

they proved that Blacks can do whatever needs 

to be done, and given a chance, go further than 

expected and help win the war. 

As it was said in the movie ‘G.I. Jane’, ‘you 

were not expected to go this far’, so was it said 

of the Tuskegee Airmen in 1941. Blacks sued 

Congress to be able to train to fly aircraft because 

It was said, at the time, that Blacks were 

not capable in understanding the complexities of 

flying. At Tuskegee, Alabama, they did the flight 

training at Morton Field. At the other facilities, 

ground schools were setup (Hampton Institute 

(Hampton University)) was one of them. However, 

Blacks were separate from all White units. 

The washout rate was high, but they made it at 

the bane of everyone that opposed them. They 

were eventually sent overseas but still was kept 

out of the fighting, primarily because the White 

flying crews did not want them around. The 

Tuskegee Airmen, again, demanded a chance, 

got it, proved their capability and the other White 

crews then wanted them flying guard for their 

flights. 

They flew more missions, stayed longer in 

the combat theater and endured having inferior 

planes and equipment than the White men and 

women in the theater of combat. After the war 

they returned to the same shameful treatment 

as before. They are being honored everywhere 

today. To name three: The Black Museum in 

Washington, D.C., the museum in Petersburg, 

Va. and the Black Museum in Richmond, Va. 

have areas dedicated to the Tuskegee Airmen. 

The Howard Baugh Chapter of the Tuskegee 

Airmen Inc. (Petersburg, Va.) has taken a lead 

in keeping their memory alive and to help steer 

young people into the direction of aviation. Keep 

the memory of the Tuskegee Airmen alive. See 

them on Facebook (HBC-TAI and Tuskegee 

Airmen) and other media forms.

Northeast North Carolina Family History - newspapers continued… 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

skipped Elizabeth City the last two months, so here 

I are some newspaper accounts of the 1802 yellow 

fever epidemic from various papers. Note that these are 

not local newspapers reporting the accounts. The second 

article is a published letter, unsigned, by someone in 

Elizabeth City. Again for ease of reading I have replaced 

the “long s” printed as “f’s” in the reports. 

From “The Gazette of the United States” - Philadelphia, 

PA - September 17, 1802, Issue 116; column C 

“The following account of the Fever which lately 

prevailed in Elizabeth City, (N. C.) may be depended on 

as authentic. A vessel from Cape-Francois arrived at 

Elizabeth City sometime in July, several of whose crew 

had died at sea, but which was kept concealed by the 

captain. This vessel, during her passage, came across 

another, the whole crew of which, on boarding her, was 

found to be dead, and in a state of putrefence. They took 

from her a trunk of cotton goods, which was purchased 

by Mr. Lunt, of Elizabeth City, whose son, and two other 

young men, were soon after taken with the fever, and 

died; as also several others who bought the goods. Of 

those who took the infection, one person has survived; 

and it is very doubtful whether she will recover. Mr. Lunt 

is the only person who has in any manner concerned 

with the goods that has not taken the fever. It is remarkable 

that no one received the contagion from those that 

died. The captain’s vessel’s name is recollected: She 

belonged to one of the northern states.” 

From the “New-York Herald” - August 18, 1802; Issue 66; 

column B 

“Extract of a Letter from Elizabeth City, N. C. Dated 4th 

August. 

“We have been, and we are still alarmed in our small 

town. Eight persons have died in the course of ten days 

with the yellow fever; which we conclude was brought 

here by Capt. King, of Willmington, Delaware. I understand 

his vessel was a prize, and lay some time at the 

Cape.--Capt. King was truly unfortunate; he had sailed 

from here three weeks ago, and returned in a leaky condition. 

The disease must have communicated on opening 

her, as the clerk and two boys belonging to the store 

on the wharf, where she lay, were taken, and died after 

five days illness. A young man belonging to Willmington 

by the name of Willings, or Hilling, who was frequently 

on board with the captain, is likewise dead. A son of Anthony 

Bu(?)ler is dead also. All of whom were on board 

the vessel. King is a shore at lodgings, sick; Likewise his 

boy, who is not expected to live over to-day. The police 

have ordered her down to a quarantine ground, below 

the town. As the Cape is very sickly, we shall be strict in 

future. A schooner arrived here from the Cape; the mate 

of whom died the night of her arrival. 

P. S. Since writing the above, the boy is dead, and 

captain is in a bad way.” 

You will notice the differences in the accounts and 

that they are not documented in any way, not even the 

authors - a potential problem in verifying information! 

Early newspaper accounts were often more sensational 

than accurate which can create issues. But they can be 

a wonderful research tool. 

The largest online newspaper site is newspapers. 

com with over 500 million pages and over 14,000 

newspapers. It is an offshoot of Ancestry.com. It has 

two levels - the Publisher Extra which has more recent 

newspapers at $19.90 a month or $74.90 per year or the 

basic subscription that has older newspapers that are no 

longer copyrighted for $7.95 a month or $44.95 per year. 

The site does offer a free seven day trial. You may also 

freely search the site worldwide to see what newspapers 

are available in the area you are interested in. Genealogybank.com 

claims to have the largest collection of 

US obituaries available. Their fees are similar to those 

mentioned and they also offer a seven day free trial. 

The best FREE newspaper site is Chronicling America

How to Become a Long-term Investor 

callthetaxlady@gmail.com 

callthetaxlady.com 

It’s a fairly predictable pattern: When the stock market rises, more 

people invest, but after a large-scale drop, many of these same 

people head for the exits. But by staying out of the financial markets, 

and only putting their money in “safe” vehicles that offer few or no growth 

prospects, are they really helping themselves? Here’s the bottom line: If 

you’re going to make progress toward your long-term goals, you have to 

become a long-term investor. But how? 

To begin with, you need to understand that long-term investing involves 

accepting inevitable short-term price swings. You may not like seeing 

those sharp price drops, but it will help your outlook greatly if you can 

keep them in perspective. Studies have shown that the longer you hold 

your investments, the less impact market volatility can have on them. 

So, to reach that point where the market’s ups and downs have less of a 

cumulative impact on your holdings, consider the following actions: 

• Only invest money you won’t need for a long time. If you can tell yourself 

that the money you are investing today is money you won’t really 

need for 20 or 30 years, you’ll be better prepared, psychologically, to get 

through the down periods of the financial markets. And as long as you 

aren’t overextending yourself financially in other parts of your life, you 

really shouldn’t need those investment dollars for a very long time. They 

should be earmarked for goals you hope to achieve far into the future, 

such as a comfortable retirement. 

• Keep your focus on what is most important to you. If you can visualize 

your long-term goals, you’ll find it easier to keep working toward them. 

For example, if you are hoping to travel extensively when you retire,

keep thinking about what that might look like. You might even research 

the countries you plan to visit, even if these trips are far in the future. 

Ultimately, if you know where you’re going and you’re determined to get 

there, you’ll get past the bumps in the road. 

• Don’t spend excessive time reviewing your investment statements. A 

bad month or two can cause some noticeably negative numbers on your 

investment statements. But if you can discipline yourself to avoid spending 

too much time dwelling on these figures, you may feel less stress 

about investing – and you may even be less tempted to make short-term 

moves that could have unfortunate long-term results. However, if you 

do want to study your investment statements, don’t just stop at the most 

recent results. Instead, look for trends that might tell a different story. 

Has the number of shares you own in various investments increased 

significantly over time? And over the past five or 10 years, has your portfolio’s 

overall performance been positive? By digging a little deeper into 

your statements, you might gain more confidence in the course you’re 

following. 

Short-term price drops are not pleasant to experience. However, you can 

help yourself become a better long-term investor by following the above 

suggestions, so put them to work soon – and stick with them.

New Life of Currituck 

by Pastor Dan Bergey 

Most conversations these days seem to stem from the current 

political landscape we are observing. So, I thought 

it might be helpful to share some thoughts from the book of 

Proverbs in the Bible. Proverbs was written to help us gain 

wisdom for avoiding struggles that want to trip us. Its goal is 

to give the naive the ability to self-discipline in a very practical 

way. The wisdom we gain is based on knowing and living for 

Jesus. First let me break this down in the simplest of terms. 

This article is not a political conversation but a human one. I 

was doing some work for a customer of the company I work 

for and they told me as I began the work that it seemed to 

them, I knew what I was talking about when it came to the task 

at hand. As I was completing the job they commented about 

their trust and confidence in my ability. Now please hear me 

out because as a younger man I would have taken the opportunity 

to pat myself on the back and explain how good I am. 

But as a slightly older man (You can laugh) my significance is 

not in what I do but who I am becoming. Why? Because my 

significance is less about my own ability, and more about who 

God is and how I reflect the image of Jesus Christ. 

The verses from Proverbs for this month read this way. “By 

wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established. 

By knowledge the rooms are filled with precious and 

pleasant riches.” Proverbs 24:3 

The house that is described here is you and me, to know me 

is to know and understand my character. How I act and speak, 

how I respond to adversity and challenge in my life, How I 

treat others. I may have learned some of these things from my 

parents and others around me, but ultimately it comes from 

the choices I make. I sense today that it is far too easy to determine 

character by what I think it means or what I want it to 

be not what God’s character is. As a younger man I struggled 

to understand that God’s character was perfect and always 

the same. I made the choice to try and make my character my 

own way, somehow it never worked. When I finally began to 

understand that I could not develop the character worthy of 

God’s, that is when I began to love the God character which 

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. 

was for my best interest through the love of Jesus Christ. No 

more striving, no more stress to try and be someone I cannot 

be. When we get to the end of ourselves and begin to rely on 

Jesus Christ our real house starts to be built. As we understand 

Gods’ love for us, and that He knows better than we 

do, we begin to be grounded and unshakable as a person. 

We often go to a house and on the front porch there is a sign 

that says this house was established in a certain year. As we 

become established the experiences, we have of developing 

God’s character for our lives turn into precious and pleasant 

riches in which we can decorate our house with. As we approach 

the season of thanksgiving ask yourself the question, 

what am I decorating my house with? If you want to be bold 

ask your family and friends what they see you decorating your 

house with. We trust that you will seek God’s decorating ability 

for you. Be blessed.

Encore Theatre 

by: Frank Elfring 

Ok, has anyone seen 2019? I know it’s now 

November, and I feel like I’m just coming out of 

February. Sure a lot of great things happen in the last 

two months of the year, but already? Alright, we get 

an extra hour to sleep in, but we also get a lot of extra 

dark. We won’t have to run the AC but we have to fire 

off the furnace. Enough old man’s rambling, we have 

a lot of things going on in the area. 

Encore will be dark in November with rehearsals going 

on for Tuesdays with Morrie. Reservations for our 

Dinner Theater, Tuesdays with Morrie, are now available 

to purchase through our website: encoretheatre. 

org or by calling us at 252-301-3071 extension 703. 

Tuesdays with Morrie will open January 10 and run 

for two weekends. Reservations are $30 per person 

and dinner will be catered by Monteros. An old man, 

a young man, and life’s greatest lesson. Based on 

a memoir by sports columnist Mitch Albom, the play 

recounts his visits with his former sociology professor 

Morrie Schwartz. 

Our regular Christmas meeting, which will be held 

on Tuesday, December 3, 2019, from 6:30 until 8:30 

pm will be a Christmas sing-along with cookies and 

drinks. Something suitable for the whole family. We 

are also using this event to introduce the refurbished 

Encore building. Gene Tick, our facilities manager, 

and his committee have been busy sprucing up the 

building getting ready for our dinner theater. We are 

located at 1176 Highway 17 South, just past the Highway 

Patrol. 

Some other things happening in the area over the 

next two months:

Albemarle Eye Center 

Here’s Why People With Diabetes Shouldn’t Skip Eye Appointments 

If you develop proliferative diabetic retinopathy, 

a blinding eye disease caused by diabetes, ophthalmologists 

have two treatment options: Lasers or 

needles. 

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy happens when 

abnormal new blood vessels grow inside the eye, 

potentially leading to bleeding or retinal detachment, 

which can cause vision loss. The goal of treatment is 

to stop the growth of those blood vessels and prevent 

vision loss. Traditionally, ophthalmologists have used 

a laser to make tiny burns in the retina, which cause 

the abnormal blood vessels to shrink and prevent 

them from growing again. 

Recently, ophthalmologists began using another 

method – injecting a medication directly in the eye. 

This approach, called anti-VEGF therapy, also helps 

stop the blood vessels from growing or leaking. 

Both methods can control blood vessel growth and 

preserve vision. But researchers are now finding that 

there may be an important difference between these 

treatments. It appears that people treated with injections 

alone need to be treated regularly and perhaps 

indefinitely to maintain their vision. That means no 

skipped appointments. Ophthalmologists say the 

consequence for interrupting this treatment is steep: 

potential blindness. 

happen: appointments are forgotten, other health issues 

crop up, financial problems happen. But missing 

appointments may be more devastating to your vision 

if you are treated with injections alone compared with 

laser treatment, which typically controls the disease 

permanently. 

Two studies, conducted by ophthalmologists at Wills 

Eye Hospital and the University of Michigan Kellogg 

Eye Center, looked at people who didn’t return to 

their physician for four to six months. Of those patients, 

those receiving treatment with injections alone 

suffered significantly more vision loss than those 

receiving laser treatment. One study showed that 

nearly half the patients who had a major interruption 

in anti-VEGF therapy suffered severe and often irreversible 

vision loss. 

“It is critical for patients to understand that anti-VEGF 

drugs disappear from the eye within a month or two 

and do not have a lasting effect in most cases,” said 

Mark W. Johnson, MD, professor of Ophthalmology 

at the University of Michigan. “Patients receiving this 

form of treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy 

must continue to receive injections on a regular basis. 

Otherwise, the disease may progress with sometimes 

blinding consequences. In contrast, the beneficial 

effect of adequate laser treatment lasts indefinitely in 

most eyes.”

November in the Southern Hemisphere 

is the seasonal equivalent 

of May in the Northern Hemisphere 

and vice versa. In Ancient 

Rome, Ludi Plebeii was held from 

November 4–17, Epulum Jovis 

was held on November 13 and 

Brumalia celebrations began on 

November 24. These dates do 

not correspond to the modern 

Gregorian calendar. 

November was referred to as 

Blōtmōnaþ by the Anglo-Saxons. 

Brumaire and Frimaire were the 

months on which November fell 

in the French Republican Calendar.
