Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by: Lewis Carroll<br />
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened<br />
to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by<br />
English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym<br />
Lewis Carroll.It tells of a young girl named Alice falling<br />
through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar,<br />
anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic,<br />
giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with<br />
children.[2] It is considered to be one of the best examples of<br />
the literary nonsense genre.<br />
One of the best-known and most popular works of Englishlanguage<br />
fiction, its narrative course, structure, characters,<br />
and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular<br />
culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.The<br />
work has never been out of print, and it has been translated<br />
into at least 97 languages.Its ongoing legacy encompasses<br />
many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, art, theme parks,<br />
board games, and video games.<br />

Chowanoke Native American History<br />
<strong>November</strong> is Native American Heritage Month. As<br />
American Indians in North <strong>Carolina</strong> hold various<br />
celebrations all month, we honor our culture and history<br />
as Indigenous people of this land. North <strong>Carolina</strong><br />
is home to over 150,000 American Indians, having the<br />
largest Native population east of the Mississippi.<br />
North <strong>Carolina</strong>’s coastal tribes were one of the first in<br />
North America to be impacted by British colonization.<br />
Colonizers felt entitled to Indigenous lands through their<br />
belief in the Doctrine of Discovery and this belief subsequently<br />
justified their taking land throughout America,<br />
including lands that the Chowanoke held.<br />
As Indigenous people celebrate their heritage all month,<br />
a unified sentiment permeates a hope of restoration<br />
for our country and homeland. We are reminded that<br />
the United States is a place where we once built our<br />
communities and interacted culturally with family and<br />
other tribal members for thousands upon thousands of<br />
generations. America is where we fished, maintained<br />
gardens, hunted, drew from the bountiful resources of<br />
our land and had fun socially. We respected the earth<br />
and environment and in turn, it served us well.<br />
Native culture was naturally quite different from the colonizers.<br />
We freely danced, drummed and sang whereas<br />
the settlers were unable to acclimate to this. Even our<br />
hygiene practices were different as noted in historic records.<br />
Consequently our cultures clashed and over time,<br />
like many other tribes, the Chowanoke were confined<br />
to a reservation along Bennett’s Creek. Ultimately, the<br />
Chowanoke lost even the little portion that remained.<br />
By Duvonya Chavis<br />
fought so hard to remain a tribal unit on communal lands<br />
in Gates County, honor those who fought for restoration<br />
after the reservation was lost, and honor those who will<br />
come after us by providing an opportunity to have a land<br />
base to perpetuate the Chowanoke heritage.<br />
North <strong>Carolina</strong> will celebrate its 24th Annual American<br />
Indian Heritage Celebration at the NC Museum of History<br />
in Raleigh on <strong>November</strong> 23, <strong>2019</strong> from 11 am to 4<br />
pm. You are invited to join as we celebrate.<br />

When the opportunity to reclaim a part of our history<br />
presented nearly 225 years later, we undoubtedly had<br />
to seize it. For Chowanoke descendants, this signifies<br />
our history and the perpetuation of our existence<br />
as Indigenous people. It reminds future generations to<br />
remember our resilience even in the aftermath of the<br />
atrocities that occurred to our people, a genocide of<br />
many variations which continued throughout America<br />
into the 20th century. The historic reservation is a place<br />
where we can preserve our heritage and celebrate the<br />
continuation of Chowanoke people.<br />
Gates County holds fond memories for many who<br />
remember Chowanoke ancestors and relatives who<br />
continued to live in the heart of Gates County and talk<br />
about their Indian heritage. It is only fitting that we honor<br />
our ancestors with these memories, honor those who<br />

How to Become a Long-term Investor<br />
It’s a fairly predictable pattern: When the stock market rises, more<br />
people invest, but after a large-scale drop, many of these same<br />
people head for the exits. But by staying out of the financial markets,<br />
and only putting their money in “safe” vehicles that offer few or no<br />
growth prospects, are they really helping themselves? Here’s the<br />
bottom line: If you’re going to make progress toward your long-term<br />
goals, you have to become a long-term investor. But how?<br />
To begin with, you need to understand that long-term investing involves<br />
accepting inevitable short-term price swings. You may not like<br />
seeing those sharp price drops, but it will help your outlook greatly<br />
if you can keep them in perspective. Studies have shown that the longer<br />
you hold your investments, the less impact market volatility can<br />
have on them.<br />
So, to reach that point where the market’s ups and downs have less<br />
of a cumulative impact on your holdings, consider the following actions:<br />
• Only invest money you won’t need for a long time. If you can tell<br />
yourself that the money you are investing today is money you won’t<br />
really need for 20 or 30 years, you’ll be better prepared, psychologically,<br />
to get through the down periods of the financial markets. And as<br />
long as you aren’t overextending yourself financially in other parts of<br />
your life, you really shouldn’t need those investment dollars for a very<br />
long time. They should be earmarked for goals you hope to achieve<br />
far into the future, such as a comfortable retirement.<br />
• Keep your focus on what is most important to you. If you can visualize<br />
your long-term goals, you’ll find it easier to keep working toward<br />
them. For example, if you are hoping to travel extensively when you<br />
retire, keep thinking about what that might look like. You might even<br />

research the countries you plan to visit, even if these trips are far<br />
in the future. Ultimately, if you know where you’re going and you’re<br />
determined to get there, you’ll get past the bumps in the road.<br />
• Don’t spend excessive time reviewing your investment statements.<br />
A bad month or two can cause some noticeably negative numbers<br />
on your investment statements. But if you can discipline yourself to<br />
avoid spending too much time dwelling on these figures, you may<br />
feel less stress about investing – and you may even be less tempted<br />
to make short-term moves that could have unfortunate long-term<br />
results. However, if you do want to study your investment statements,<br />
don’t just stop at the most recent results. Instead, look for trends<br />
that might tell a different story. Has the number of shares you own in<br />
various investments increased significantly over time? And over the<br />
past five or 10 years, has your portfolio’s overall performance been<br />
positive? By digging a little deeper into your statements, you might<br />
gain more confidence in the course you’re following.<br />
Short-term price drops are not pleasant to experience. However, you<br />
can help yourself become a better long-term investor by following the<br />
above suggestions, so put them to work soon – and stick with them.<br />

The Dancing Angels<br />
by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd<br />
<strong>November</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
ORTHODOX 7<br />
“How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?”<br />
Doubtless, you’ve heard this question before, and you knew<br />
straightaway that it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously.<br />
Angels have been long dismissed from modern thought,<br />
pretty much assigned to the same wastebasket of history<br />
into which the “flat earth” and the “green cheese moon” have<br />
been thrown. At the beginning of the modern age, in the<br />
1600’s, some philosophers started poking fun at the idea of<br />
even thinking about such beings. They dismissed such thinking<br />
as mere and idle speculation, about as useless as arguing<br />
over “How many angels can dance upon the tip of a needle?”<br />
For your information, by the way, no one in the medieval<br />
church -- Thomas Aquinas nor any of the Scholastics -- ever<br />
posed such a nonsensical question. This famous (and irresponsible)<br />
question actually came from post-Reformation<br />
philosophers: neither sort had any room for angels or even<br />
rumors of angels: angels were not material and thus could<br />
not be observed, experimented upon, and defined. So therefore,<br />
in a “flat” sort of scientific worldview, they were simply<br />
dismissed.<br />
But the modern world, despite its technological prowess, cannot<br />
afford to be so blindfolded. There is more to reality than<br />
what can be scientifically proven or even proposed. Hope<br />
and meaning, truth and goodness and even beauty cannot be<br />
manufactured from elementary particles.<br />
We would be better off with a worldview that recognizes<br />
angels. Realistically and practically speaking, they’re all<br />
around. From the time of Apostles, the Christian Church has<br />
emphasized angels as a necessity for belief and life. There<br />
is no place in Creation that is not without angelic presence.<br />
Everything in the world is “managed” by these non-material<br />
beings, even the stars, even strange numbers like pi and e<br />
and the golden ratio.<br />
But closest to our experience are the Guardian Angels. Every<br />
one of us has one, whose entire task is to help us become<br />
utterly transformed by divine love:<br />
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones,” the<br />
Lord said in Matthew 18.10, “for I tell you that in heaven<br />
their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in<br />
heaven.”<br />
The Divine Love of the Holy Trinity is at the very basis of all<br />
reality. Your Guardian Angel, whom you will see one day, is<br />
simply trying to make you real.<br />

5 do’s and don’ts to keep your identity safe from hackers<br />
(BPT) - Resourceful thieves and cybercriminals continue<br />
to find new ways to hack U.S. consumers’ sensitive personal<br />
information. Dumpster diving, stolen or lost wallets<br />
and mail fraud should still be concerns, but the digital age<br />
of tablets, smartphones, PCs and Wi-Fi networks leaves<br />
people more vulnerable than ever.<br />
Have you ever stored credit card information on your<br />
phone for added convenience to make payments in a<br />
checkout lane? Do you ever store passwords in apps to<br />
transfer funds between accounts? And what’s to keep<br />
hackers from accessing a wireless network you check<br />
your email on while you’re grabbing a quick cup of coffee?<br />
“More than 15.4 million people a year will experience<br />
identity theft, with an average loss of more than $1,000,”<br />
said Jane Li, Mercury Insurance’s director of product<br />
management. “When one access point closes due to<br />
added levels of security, cyberattackers find another.<br />
Insurance companies like Mercury provide services that<br />
allow homeowners and renters to enjoy the convenience<br />
of accessing their connected devices at home and on the<br />
go, while also helping to protect customers from the potentially<br />
devastating effects of criminal infiltration, cyberextortion<br />
and identity theft.”<br />
The following five do’s and don’ts can help stop criminals<br />
in their tracks and protect your connected devices, as well<br />
as your electronic identity.<br />
* Do power down your devices. This disables the internet<br />
connection, cutting off access to any personal information<br />
stored on your computer, tablet or phone. Unattended machines,<br />
especially if you are asleep or leave them at home<br />
while on vacation, are easy targets for hackers.<br />
* Don’t connect to unsecured wireless networks. Information<br />
accessed on an open network, including email<br />
passwords and sensitive bank information, is fair game<br />
for hackers. Don’t make their jobs easier. Turn off Wi-Fi<br />
access on your devices unless it’s a password-protected<br />
network you trust.<br />
* Do monitor your children’s device usage. It’s a good idea<br />
to limit use of computers, tablets and phones to public<br />
areas within the home like the living room or kitchen. This<br />
makes it easier for parents to keep an eye on who their<br />
kids are communicating with, especially on social media<br />
or gaming sites, to help prevent the sharing of sensitive<br />
information like full names, addresses or other things that<br />
can be used for identity theft or other potentially dangerous<br />
activities.<br />
* Don’t discard important paperwork without shredding<br />
it. If it has your name and address, thieves can take<br />
advantage and open an account using your information.<br />
Remember to shred expired insurance documents, vehicle<br />
registrations, bills, loan pre-qualifications and other<br />
paperwork that would allow someone to call in pretending<br />
to be you. Check your credit reports at least twice a year<br />
to ensure all accounts opened in your name are valid.<br />
* Do install recommended updates. Smartphone, computer,<br />
tablet and smart TV manufacturers, among other<br />
providers of connected devices,<br />
offer periodic software<br />
updates to protect against<br />
potential security breaches.<br />
Chances are, if an update is<br />
recommended, hackers have<br />
already discovered a way to<br />
access your personal property<br />
and information, so keep your<br />

Tips to Take Great Pet Pics Beetle Mania<br />
Nov. <strong>2019</strong><br />
NATURE 11<br />
by: Coy Domecq<br />
(StatePoint) Whether you’re hoping to make your dog an<br />
Instagram sensation or you just want a nice portrait for the<br />
mantle, you’ve likely discovered pets, in general, can be<br />
elusive around cameras.<br />
Check out these tips and tricks for getting your fur baby<br />
to sit for the camera and look picture perfect, from e-tailer<br />
Zulily, creative photographer, Taylor Graham:<br />
• After choosing a great location for your shoot, give your<br />
pet a few minutes to get comfortable with the new setting.<br />
• If you’re shooting outside, situate your pet in a shaded<br />
area. Direct sunlight can make your pet look greasy, and<br />
distracting shadows can obscure important features. A flat,<br />
overcast day makes for the most flattering pet photos.<br />
• Get low to your pet’s level and frame the face tightly, focusing<br />
on eyes for maximum impact. Remember to photograph<br />
the most endearing parts of your pet. Often overlooked,<br />
paws and ears can be some of the most expressive<br />
and adorable features of your furry friend.<br />
• Treats and squeaky toys are a given for getting pets to<br />
focus, but make sure you’re using them to your advantage.<br />
Hold the toy or treat as close to the lens as possible. This<br />
will get your pet’s gaze right where you want it to be.<br />
• Most cameras and camera phones have a “burst mode”<br />
that takes many pictures in a row. Later you can select the<br />
perfect frame.<br />
• Don’t just pose your dog against a white wall. Add flair<br />
with accessories that fit your pet’s personality. For unique<br />
pet products at great prices, shop apps like Zulily that offer<br />
quirky must-have items, stylish accessories, treats and<br />
pampering products. Their 72-hour sales represent some of<br />
the best deals in retail.<br />
• With easy-to-use smartphone apps like VSCO and Photoshop:<br />
Express, you can adjust brightness, color and sharpness<br />
to bring a professional quality to images in seconds.<br />
With a few tricks up your sleeve, you can take better pet<br />
snapshots and capture some amazing memories of your<br />
furry friend.<br />
And now, for something completely different. In my<br />
quest for a foragable Thanksgiving food product,<br />
native to the area as a feature in this issue, it was a<br />
struggle to identify something not introduced from abroad<br />
or domesticated as a commodity. The lightbulb came on<br />
when I remembered eating insects in Thailand and South<br />
Korea. Sources from the Food and Agriculture Organization<br />
(FAO) estimate about two billon of the human population<br />
eat insects. Oddly, one survey indicates about 72% of<br />
US residents are unwilling to even try insect consumption.<br />
This is surprising considering that the US FDA actually<br />
allows up to 30 insect parts per hundred grams of chocolate.<br />
For those of you still reading, eating insects is not<br />
as strange as it may seem and may actually be ahead of<br />
its time. Incredibly, it is a resurgence of what was once<br />
a food tradition here in the United States. Entomophagy,<br />
the term referring to human consumption of insects, was<br />
commonplace in early US history and even earlier in Native<br />
American diets.<br />
Why eat insects? They are exceedingly nutritious. Insect<br />
protein content rivals that of almost any other animal<br />
source. A 3.5-ounce serving of dried grasshopper contains<br />
upwards of 28 grams of protein. They are everywhere and<br />
there are lots of them. (Really, do I need to elaborate?)<br />
According to the Smithsonian Museum, insects represent<br />
approximately 1 gigaton (about 1,000,000,000 tons) of the<br />
earth’s organic biomass, whereas total human biomass<br />
represents a mere 0.06 gigatons. Most insect genera are<br />
edible by humans. To answer the burning question, beetles<br />
are the most popular selection. This practice could be a<br />
key component in accomplishing what is termed as food<br />
security and a viable food source, or even preference,<br />
for those with expanded food tastes. Oh, yes the taste.<br />
My experience with insect consumption is that they are<br />
crunchy and nutty when dried, as with grasshopper and<br />
crickets, and buttery and rich when enjoying steamed silkworm<br />
larvae. There is an etiquette observed when eating<br />
insects. Instead of reaching across the table to grab your<br />
portion, ask politely to, “Please pass the mashed beetles<br />
and gravy.”<br />

INSPIRATION<br />
Here’s Why People With Diabetes Shouldn’t Skip Eye Appointments<br />
If you develop proliferative diabetic retinopathy, a blinding<br />
eye disease caused by diabetes, ophthalmologists<br />
have two treatment options: Lasers or needles.<br />
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy happens when abnormal<br />
new blood vessels grow inside the eye, potentially leading<br />
to bleeding or retinal detachment, which can cause vision<br />
loss. The goal of treatment is to stop the growth of those<br />
blood vessels and prevent vision loss. Traditionally, ophthalmologists<br />
have used a laser to make tiny burns in the<br />
retina, which cause the abnormal blood vessels to shrink<br />
and prevent them from growing again.<br />
Recently, ophthalmologists began using another method<br />
– injecting a medication directly in the eye. This approach,<br />
called anti-VEGF therapy, also helps stop the blood vessels<br />
from growing or leaking.<br />
Both methods can control blood vessel growth and preserve<br />
vision. But researchers are now finding that there<br />
may be an important difference between these treatments.<br />
It appears that people treated with injections alone need<br />
to be treated regularly and perhaps indefinitely to maintain<br />
their vision. That means no skipped appointments. Ophthalmologists<br />
say the consequence for interrupting this<br />
treatment is steep: potential blindness.<br />
Problem is, many people with diabetes don’t see their<br />
ophthalmologists as regularly as they should. Things happen:<br />
appointments are forgotten, other health issues crop<br />
up, financial problems happen. But missing appointments<br />
may be more devastating to your vision if you are treated<br />
with injections alone compared with laser treatment, which<br />
typically controls the disease permanently.<br />
Two studies, conducted by ophthalmologists at Wills Eye<br />
Hospital and the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center,<br />
looked at people who didn’t return to their physician<br />
for four to six months. Of those patients, those receiving<br />
treatment with injections alone suffered significantly more<br />
vision loss than those receiving laser treatment. One study<br />
showed that nearly half the patients who had a major interruption<br />
in anti-VEGF therapy suffered severe and often<br />
irreversible vision loss.<br />
“It is critical for patients to understand that anti-VEGF<br />
drugs disappear from the eye within a month or two and<br />
do not have a lasting effect in most cases,” said Mark W.<br />
Johnson, MD, professor of Ophthalmology at the University<br />
of Michigan. “Patients receiving this form of treatment<br />
for proliferative diabetic retinopathy must continue<br />
to receive injections on a regular basis. Otherwise, the<br />
disease may progress with sometimes blinding consequences.<br />
In contrast, the beneficial effect of adequate<br />
laser treatment lasts indefinitely in most eyes.”<br />

How Free Trade Increases Peaceful Interaction Between Nations<br />
by: James Devereaux<br />
Unilateral trade is no guarantee of peace, but the evidence suggests it beats the alternative.<br />
<strong>November</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
Reprinted with permission from fee.org<br />
ECONOMICS 13<br />
I<br />
f goods don’t cross borders, soldiers will.” This<br />
quote is often attributed to Frederic Bastiat.<br />
Alas, no authoritative documentation has confirmed<br />
he actually said it. Yet, it appears the pithy statement<br />
is nonetheless correct.<br />
The Relationship Between Trade and Peace<br />
A recent study by Jong-Wha Lee and Ju Hyun<br />
Pyun has found a strong correlation between<br />
trade and peace. Examining a “large panel data<br />
set of 243,225 country pair observations” over 50<br />
years “confirms that an increase in bilateral trade<br />
interdependence significantly promotes peace.”<br />
But that is not all they found. Additionally, and most<br />
importantly, they found that “global trade openness<br />
significantly promotes peace.” This latter effect is<br />
felt more so by countries far apart than those that<br />
share borders.<br />
This is significant empirical support for those who<br />
have held that trade promotes peace along with<br />
prosperity. Whether Bastiat said it or not, plenty<br />
have contemplated the pacifying nature of trade,<br />
of the altered incentives when the ability to access<br />
markets is available.<br />
Whatever threat China poses to the United States,<br />
it doesn’t appear to improve by making trade more<br />
difficult.<br />
Political economist and sociologist Max <strong>Web</strong>er<br />
wrote that a capitalist economy is “one which rests<br />
on the expectation of profit by the utilization of<br />
opportunities for exchange, that is on (formally)<br />
peaceful chances of profit.” He contrasted this with<br />
“acquisition by force,” a transaction he described as<br />
“not expedient.” Not when compared to the peaceful<br />
exchange, at least.<br />
Making the cost to “truck, barter, and exchange”<br />
high increases the relative appeal of taking goods<br />
by force or occupation. Unfortunately, our most recent<br />
policy rhetoric and efforts have focused on an<br />
increase in tariffs and lowered trade that may result<br />
in increased tension with other nations, particularly<br />
China. Preventing goods from flowing between nations<br />
serves only a protectionist instinct. These are<br />
goods with pacifying externalities attached that we<br />
have rejected.<br />
Sweet Commerce<br />
This is another tally on the board for the doux commerce<br />
thesis. Translated as sweet commerce, the<br />
thesis suggests that commerce has a softening<br />
effect, trading violence for exchange. Most trace<br />
the origin of the thesis to Montesquieu, who wrote<br />
in his work The Spirit of the Laws:<br />
Commerce cures destructive prejudices, and it is<br />
an almost general rule that everywhere there are<br />
gentle mores, there is commerce and that everywhere<br />
there is commerce, there are gentle mores.”<br />
Therefore, one should not be surprised if our mores<br />
are less fierce than they were formerly. Commerce<br />
has spread knowledge of the mores of all nations<br />
everywhere; they have been compared to each<br />
other, and good things have resulted from this.<br />
This thesis has been defended by classical and<br />
modern economists alike, from Adam Smith to<br />
Deirdre McCloskey. The peaceable interaction,<br />
the tempering influence, the gentle mores, have<br />
been considered part of the societal gains from<br />
commerce, both domestically and internationally,<br />
and now another study has indicated this is so.<br />
Commerce bonds distant and alien individuals. It<br />
places them on equal footing; not equality as some<br />
measure, but there is an inherent equality to market<br />
participation that creates a forum of participation<br />
for individuals. Denying access to markets has an<br />
alienating and stratifying effect within communities.<br />
It is no surprise this alienation duplicates across<br />
borders when markets are constrained.<br />
Unilateral Trade<br />
Policies that lead toward conflict should be eschewed<br />
for those that encourage openness and<br />
cooperation. Trade is such a cooperative process.<br />
It incurs fewer costs than dealing with conflict.<br />
Policies that orient us toward greater trade across<br />
borders create a path toward prosperity and peace.<br />
It is part of the market process that generates price,<br />
which Ludwig von Mises called “a social process.”<br />
The temptation to use state power to prevent<br />
trade arises from a protectionist outlook, one that<br />
employs political power to protect some interests<br />
over others.<br />
The implication of this study—and years of history—is<br />
best summarized by something Bastiat did<br />
in fact say:<br />
“Barriers result in isolation; isolation gives rise<br />
to hatred; hatred, to war; war, to invasion. “What<br />
difference does it make?” say the sophists. “Is it<br />
not better to risk the possibility of invasion than to<br />
accept the certainty of invasion?” And the people<br />
believe them, and the barriers remain standing.<br />
And yet, what analogy is there between an exchange<br />
and an invasion? What possible similarity<br />
can there be between a warship that comes to<br />
vomit missiles, fire, and devastation on our cities,<br />
and a merchant vessel that comes to offer us a<br />
voluntary exchange of goods for goods?<br />
Unilateral trade is no guarantee of peace, but the<br />
evidence suggests it beats the alternative.<br />

DOCTOR CRIME<br />
Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for a social scientist holding a Ph.D. degree in sociology and in criminology.<br />
He has worked in all major parts of the criminal justice system. Drop him a note at the<br />

Dear Dr. Crime: Why do social groups helping their members<br />
more than folks in other social groups matter to so many<br />
people?? Everybody does it. White/Black/Hispanic fellow.<br />
Dear Concerned Fellow: If you go to https://www.findlaw.com/<br />
on the internet you can find legal decisions showing it is often<br />
not legal. Also, there are moral aspects to consider. For Dr.<br />
Crime, the impact on crime is vital. Strong research in Vol.<br />
73 #7 of American Psychologist is a review of many studies<br />
showing that the impact of racial / ethnic discrimination on<br />
adolescents is poorer self-esteem, lower school grades, more<br />
risky sexual behaviors and drug use. Also, they have more<br />
delinquent friends. So everyone is better off is we can create<br />
a fairer world for everyone.<br />
Dear Dr. Crime: Have the mass shootings impressed people<br />
widely or not? Angry citizen<br />
Dear Angry: Join the club. I hear from a lot of people that want<br />
a safer world. A recent survey fond that 1/3 of adult Americans<br />
fear going places in their communities. It is twice as high for<br />
Hispanics as for whites. And 63% of parents fear their kids<br />
may be in a mass shooting. We have a problem!<br />
Dear Dr. Crime: What is house arrest? Mary Lou<br />
Dear Mary Lou: Courts can sentence convicted offenders<br />
to remain in their own home, not leaving the premises,<br />
rather than go to jail. The State of Florida has used that option<br />
since the mid-1980s and report that incarceration rates have<br />
dropped markedly since the program’s inception. The crooks<br />
pay restitution, pay the State to offset the cost of supervision,<br />
and work to support dependents and families. Sounds good .<br />
Dear Dr. Crime: Does capital punishment reduce crimes(1)?<br />
Victim.<br />
Dear Victim: Research in a law journal reported that capital<br />
punishment has a strong deterrent effect; each execution<br />
results, on average, in eighteen fewer murders.<br />

Girl.<br />
Dear Bad Girl: Try “Legal Match” at the website:www.legalmatch.com<br />
Dear Dr. Crime: Where is the highest murder rate in the<br />

SPECKLED TROUT<br />
By: Jimmy Fleming<br />
T<br />
he fall speckled trout or as some say<br />
“Spotted Sea Trout” fishing down east<br />
has been on fire this year. Limits of tasty<br />
trout have been easy to come by in Croatan,<br />
Roanoke, and Pamlico Sounds since mid<br />
summer and early fall. It appears that the<br />
trout population has rebounded from the<br />
freezing winter of two years ago that cold<br />
stunned much of the trout population in our<br />
area. Trout season was closed for a while after<br />
that freeze event and both size limits and<br />
creel limits were reduced. You can now keep<br />
four speckled trout per day over 14 inches<br />
which is a blessing since flounder season<br />
and striper season are both closed in the<br />
Pamlico sound fishery. Anglers are catching<br />
trout along the marshy banks of the sounds<br />
using light tackle with a variety of lures. The<br />
lures used range from the old standbys such<br />
as Mirrolures to the new soft plastics like<br />
Zman.<br />
Another great way to catch Specks is on top<br />
water lures such as the Spook Jr or Skitterwalk<br />
which can bring about amazing action<br />
at times. I have thoroughly enjoyed my<br />
share of trout fishing over the past couple of<br />
months. My favorite method is easing along<br />
the marshy banks and points of Pamlico<br />
Sound with my 2500 light set up using a ¼<br />
ounce jig head with a 4” soft plastic … the<br />
“thump” of a trout bite on this gear is amazing.<br />
Along with the fun of catching these<br />
great fish, you also have the pleasure of<br />
eating one of the best tasting fish in eastern<br />
North <strong>Carolina</strong>. Speckled Trout are one of<br />
the easiest fish to clean and can be prepared<br />
so many great ways. My favorite way to cook<br />
them is to pan fry boneless skinless filets<br />
coated in Louisiana Fish Fry Crispy Breader<br />
… that is outstanding. I also like to blacken<br />
filets and broil them in the oven as well. You<br />
just can’t beat the Speckled Trout in eastern<br />
NC for a great catch and quality table fare!!<br />

16 BEAUTY<br />
Makeup Trends to Stun this Fall Season<br />
Foods good for<br />
your skin<br />
We tread in a world currently obsessed with online<br />
makeup tutorials, makeup moguls, and the high-rising<br />
makeup industry. We used to spend highly on clothes, and<br />
shoes, unaware of one of the aspects which elevate the look<br />
to another level - makeup. Only recently have we understood<br />
its importance, and thus we see how vital it is to be in<br />
trend in this sphere also.<br />
Berries<br />
Not to worry, because we are here to let you know of what<br />
makeup to don this fall season. Get your pen and paper<br />
ready:<br />
• Smokey Eyes<br />
Bringing the punk back, the smoky eyes return with a twist.<br />
They no longer are untidy, smudged remnants of makeup.<br />
Rather, they have made their entrance in a simpler yet<br />
elegant look. Opt for brown eyeliner, and pair it up with a bit<br />
of black eyeliner at the end, as exhibited by Tom Ford. Put<br />
on mascara for an enhanced look, and find yourself making<br />
a fashion statement. For those who still wish to invoke the<br />
rock-girl inside them, black kohl is a woman’s best friend<br />
when wishing to go bold and noticeable.<br />
Carrots<br />
• All Things Glitter<br />
Those who prefer funk to punk, and want pops of color in<br />
their makeup routine, should hold onto their hearts for this<br />
fall has brought the glitter trend. Especially suitable for those<br />
who wish to stand out from the crowd, this trend consists<br />
of glittery eyes. Put on shimmery eye-shadow, and pair it<br />
up with flecks of glitter. A rather different look could also be<br />
glitter outlining the eyes, but no eye-shadow. If you want to<br />
divert attention from your eyes, a metallic-glittery lip could<br />
also achieve just that.<br />
Green Tea<br />
• The Glow from Within<br />
The arrival of fall means drier skin. Thus this season calls<br />
for a makeup trend to ensure the glow doesn’t escape from<br />
your face. Instead of opting for loads of light foundation, the<br />
highlighter should be your go-to makeup tool. Giving a glow<br />
to the face like a baby’s skin, this season is all about looking<br />
shiny and radiant.<br />
Eggs<br />
• The Red Stain<br />
Perhaps the boldest yet elegant makeup aspect has<br />
always been the red lip. This season, the red lip became a<br />
red stain, meaning high pigmentation. Whether you opt for a<br />
bright-red, matte, or deep burgundy, this trend ensures you<br />
become the center of attention. Rub some powder on the<br />
lip to simplify the effect, or apply heavy lip gloss to makes<br />
heads turn. This trend is bound to make others go weak in<br />
the knees.<br />

season change calls for wardrobe change. Out with the<br />
A old, and in with the fashionable, is the notion to follow.<br />
However, with the large variety of trends donning magazine<br />
covers this season, we understand your confusion in what<br />
works best.<br />
Fret not, for we tell you the best and most ‘in’ trends this fall,<br />
to ensure you make the fashion statement you have been<br />
waiting for:<br />
• Plaid is back.<br />
Suede Flats<br />
Taking you back to your school times, plaid returns as a musthave<br />
staple in your wardrobe. In case you wish for a subtle<br />
look, a simple solid-colored plaid dress paired with stilettos<br />
and dangling earrings is bound to win hearts. On the other<br />
hand, if you wish to go all in, wearing plaid over plaid is also<br />
trending. A light-colored plaid top, with a dark-shaded plaid<br />
coat on top, and you will stun. Numerous designers have already<br />
given their thumbs-up to all things plaid on the runway,<br />
Chanel being one of many. As plaid makes its return, play<br />
your part in establishing this trend further with a simple plaid<br />
shirt, perhaps tucked into a plaid skirt – giving schoolgirl but<br />
cool girl vibes.<br />
• Trench Coat (Read: Cape)<br />
Open Toe<br />
Buckle<br />
The trench coat has always been in style, but this season,<br />
it has been improvised to make the Trench Cape. They are<br />
loose and airy, thus being immensely comfortable to wear.<br />
Belted just above the waist, they complement your figure,<br />
alongside upholding ideas of fashion. If you opt for the long<br />
ones, these capes trail behind you, ensuring you become a<br />
head-turner wherever you go. Whilst short trench coats are<br />
also trending this fall. Pair them up with skin-tight pants and<br />
high heeled-boots, for a look to remember.<br />
• Ruffles<br />
Metallic Leather<br />
In case you are a fan of vintage clothing, hold on to your<br />
heart for this fall is all about bringing back ruffles. Enhancing<br />
the beauty of all outfits it is paired with, ruffles have a certain<br />
fashionable vibe to them. Whether you couple them with<br />
bright prints, or with a simple polka-dotted dress, get ready<br />
to receive a lot of compliments. Vintage, yet modern? Yes<br />
please!<br />
• Silk Scarves<br />
Snakeskin Prints<br />
When deciding what completes a look, who can forget the<br />
ever-important scarves? A silk scarf exclaims elegance<br />
alongside fashion. The ways in which a scarf can be used are<br />
numerous. Pair it up with a V-neck dress, or wear it stylishly<br />
with denim shirts. Wear it as a bandanna, or a belt, or you can<br />
even tie it to your bag. Multiple uses, and always in trend, a<br />
silk scarf is a must-have.<br />

Health and Nutrition Strategies for<br />
Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else<br />
Do You Know What’s in<br />
Your Dietary Supplements?<br />
Warren is a 30 year member of the Institute of Food<br />
Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point)<br />
Instructor with a Batchelors degree in Nutrition Science.<br />
What’s in your diet?<br />
Last month I was guest speaker at a breast cancer<br />
event (P.I.N.K.I.E Party) given by Vicky Walton’s<br />
“It’s in the Genes”, LLC . Vicky is a two time breast cancer<br />
survivor who’s enthusiasm is infectious.<br />
It was a wonderful event and I was honored to participate.<br />
I love a Q and A format, and we did a Facebook<br />
Live, so I had a big audience. I started by identifying<br />
myself as a fourteen year cancer survivor, a United<br />
States Government food safety expert, and how that<br />
melded into my strategies. I hope I was influential<br />
enough for the attendees and their Facebook family<br />
audiences, to use this column as a resource when<br />
going food shopping. So, if you’re new to the column,<br />
welcome.<br />
Including my military service, I’ve been honored to be<br />
a public servant since I was seventeen years old, and<br />
I’m 80. Most of my public service was in food safety as<br />
a New York State Meat Inspector, USDA Inspector-In-<br />
Charge, Supervisory Food Technologist and Senior Staff<br />
in the Food Safety Inspection Service in Washington,<br />
D.C. In that Senior Staff capacity I worked closely with<br />
the FDA, EPA, and Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS).<br />
I understand how the United States agricultural food<br />
chain works, and how Washington manages and regulates<br />
it. I understand the mechanism of how substances<br />
get into your food. I monitor and report on pertinent<br />
FSIS and FDA recall press releases, from an insider<br />
prospective. That said.<br />
I’m promoting keeping a daily food log. I’ve kept one<br />
during my January- February optimizing period when I<br />
do my modified Mediterranean diet. Since I get quarterly<br />
blood panels, I’m able to correlate my diet with my lab<br />
results. It’s a good idea to know what substances you’re<br />
putting in your body.<br />
I consider dietary fiber my damage control, “Go To”<br />
supplement. Dietary fiber lowers bad cholesterol levels<br />
and regulates pH levels, fiber is thought to prevent<br />
microbes from producing cancerous cells in the colon.<br />
It works by moving food through your digestive system,<br />
You want to digest the decaying animal tissue, as soon<br />
as possible. The days when I eat meat, I increase my<br />
fiber, and fluid intake.<br />
I use Omega 3 supplements as my primary antiinflammatory.<br />
I accept the inconclusive research that it<br />
protects your heart, and coronary system. Now that the<br />
USDA is inspecting fish, and plant based fish is on the<br />
horizon, Fish will be a weekly food staple.<br />
Vitamin C is the most powerful, inexpensive, antioxidant/ANTI-AGING<br />
supplement on the market and is<br />
vitally important for immune system health. .<br />
<strong>Final</strong>ly, medical cancer strategies are trending toward<br />
personalized applications. Food should be treated the<br />
same way. The next time you shop grab some fiber,<br />
plenty of options.<br />
Remember, keep a daily log of what you consume, reconcile<br />
it with your routine blood labs.<br />
Food is medicine.<br />

(StatePoint) Dietary supplements help people get the<br />
nutrients they need to thrive, and 77 percent of Americans<br />
take them, according to the Council for Responsible Nutrition<br />
(CRN). However, experts say that in order to make<br />
smart choices down the line, it is necessary to understand<br />
changes being made to product labels.<br />
“The Food and Drug Administration has mandated that all<br />
dietary supplement products feature updated labeling by<br />
January 2021 to reflect the evolution of the American diet,<br />
as well as advancements in nutrition science,” says Brian<br />
Wommack, senior vice president of communications at<br />
CRN. “Larger manufacturers will comply by January 2020,<br />
and many other manufacturers will be introducing the new<br />
labels early, so it’s smart for everyone to get familiar with<br />
the updates now.”<br />
Eighty-two percent of Americans agree that the information<br />
on the label helps them make purchasing decisions, and<br />
being label wise, according to Wommack, means being<br />
committed to reading product labels, having knowledge of<br />
what information is featured and why, and making smart,<br />
well-informed purchasing decisions.<br />
“While some of the changes to the label are more obvious<br />
than others, all of them are important to understand,” says<br />
Wommack.<br />
To help you understand the transition, CRN has identified<br />
some of the noticeable aspects of the new Supplement<br />
Facts label:<br />
• New Daily Values (DVs) will reflect the latest nutrition science<br />
and changes in American diets.<br />
• Vitamins A, D, and E will change from amounts in International<br />
Units (IU), to the more common measures of<br />
milligrams (mg) and micrograms (mcg).<br />
• Folic acid, an important nutrient before and during pregnancy,<br />
will be listed as folate and measured in micrograms<br />
of dietary folate equivalents (DFEs).<br />
• If sugar is added to the product, you will see the amount<br />
and percent DV.<br />
