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.[2] 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 Englishlanguage 

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.

Chowanoke Native American History 

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. 

By Duvonya Chavis 

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.

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

FINANCIAL FOCUS 

How to Become a Long-term Investor 

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.

The Dancing Angels 

by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd 


ORTHODOX 7 

“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 

heaven.” 

The Divine Love of the Holy Trinity is at the very basis of all 

reality. Your Guardian Angel, whom you will see one day, is 

simply trying to make you real.

5 do’s and don’ts to keep your identity safe from hackers 

(BPT) - Resourceful thieves and cybercriminals continue 

to find new ways to hack U.S. consumers’ sensitive personal 

information. Dumpster diving, stolen or lost wallets 

and mail fraud should still be concerns, but the digital age 

of tablets, smartphones, PCs and Wi-Fi networks leaves 

people more vulnerable than ever. 

Have you ever stored credit card information on your 

phone for added convenience to make payments in a 

checkout lane? Do you ever store passwords in apps to 

transfer funds between accounts? And what’s to keep 

hackers from accessing a wireless network you check 

your email on while you’re grabbing a quick cup of coffee? 

“More than 15.4 million people a year will experience 

identity theft, with an average loss of more than $1,000,” 

said Jane Li, Mercury Insurance’s director of product 

management. “When one access point closes due to 

added levels of security, cyberattackers find another. 

Insurance companies like Mercury provide services that 

allow homeowners and renters to enjoy the convenience 

of accessing their connected devices at home and on the 

go, while also helping to protect customers from the potentially 

devastating effects of criminal infiltration, cyberextortion 

and identity theft.” 

The following five do’s and don’ts can help stop criminals 

in their tracks and protect your connected devices, as well 

as your electronic identity. 

* Do power down your devices. This disables the internet 

connection, cutting off access to any personal information 

stored on your computer, tablet or phone. Unattended machines, 

especially if you are asleep or leave them at home 

while on vacation, are easy targets for hackers. 

* Don’t connect to unsecured wireless networks. Information 

accessed on an open network, including email 

passwords and sensitive bank information, is fair game 

for hackers. Don’t make their jobs easier. Turn off Wi-Fi 

access on your devices unless it’s a password-protected 

network you trust. 

* Do monitor your children’s device usage. It’s a good idea 

to limit use of computers, tablets and phones to public 

areas within the home like the living room or kitchen. This 

makes it easier for parents to keep an eye on who their 

kids are communicating with, especially on social media 

or gaming sites, to help prevent the sharing of sensitive 

information like full names, addresses or other things that 

can be used for identity theft or other potentially dangerous 

activities. 

* Don’t discard important paperwork without shredding 

it. If it has your name and address, thieves can take 

advantage and open an account using your information. 

Remember to shred expired insurance documents, vehicle 

registrations, bills, loan pre-qualifications and other 

paperwork that would allow someone to call in pretending 

to be you. Check your credit reports at least twice a year 

to ensure all accounts opened in your name are valid. 

* Do install recommended updates. Smartphone, computer, 

tablet and smart TV manufacturers, among other 

providers of connected devices, 

offer periodic software 

updates to protect against 

potential security breaches. 

Chances are, if an update is 

recommended, hackers have 

already discovered a way to 

access your personal property 

and information, so keep your 

software up to date. 

Li recommends homeowners 

and renters speak with their 

local insurance agent to learn 

more about the endorsements 

they may be able to add to 

existing policies to help safeguard 

their finances if their 

identities are compromised or 

connected devices are attacked. 

“It can be daunting to try to regain your financial footing 

if a criminal takes advantage of you,” said Li. “Insurance 

exists to help protect consumers from unexpected events 

and, in this case, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Tips to Take Great Pet Pics Beetle Mania 

Nov. 2019 

NATURE 11 

by: Coy Domecq 

(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. 

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.”

Albemarle Eye Center 

INSPIRATION 

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. 

Problem is, many people with diabetes don’t see their 

ophthalmologists as regularly as they should. Things 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.”

How Free Trade Increases Peaceful Interaction Between Nations 

by: James Devereaux 

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


Reprinted with permission from fee.org 

ECONOMICS 13 

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. 

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.” 

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. 

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.

DOCTOR 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, or you have custody issues, he 

may be able to help, give him a call (252-339-0000). 

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. Bad 

Girl. 

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

Dear Dr. Crime: Where is the highest murder rate in the

SPECKLED TROUT 

By: Jimmy Fleming 

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!!

16 BEAUTY 

Makeup Trends to Stun this Fall Season 

Foods good for 

your skin 

We tread in a world currently obsessed with online 

makeup tutorials, makeup moguls, and the high-rising 

makeup industry. We used to spend highly on clothes, and 

shoes, unaware of one of the aspects which elevate the look 

to another level - makeup. Only recently have we understood 

its importance, and thus we see how vital it is to be in 

trend in this sphere also. 

Berries 

Not to worry, because we are here to let you know of what 

makeup to don this fall season. Get your pen and paper 

ready: 

• Smokey Eyes 

Bringing the punk back, the smoky eyes return with a twist. 

They no longer are untidy, smudged remnants of makeup. 

Rather, they have made their entrance in a simpler yet 

elegant look. Opt for brown eyeliner, and pair it up with a bit 

of black eyeliner at the end, as exhibited by Tom Ford. Put 

on mascara for an enhanced look, and find yourself making 

a fashion statement. For those who still wish to invoke the 

rock-girl inside them, black kohl is a woman’s best friend 

when wishing to go bold and noticeable. 

Carrots 

• All Things Glitter 

Those who prefer funk to punk, and want pops of color in 

their makeup routine, should hold onto their hearts for this 

fall has brought the glitter trend. Especially suitable for those 

who wish to stand out from the crowd, this trend consists 

of glittery eyes. Put on shimmery eye-shadow, and pair it 

up with flecks of glitter. A rather different look could also be 

glitter outlining the eyes, but no eye-shadow. If you want to 

divert attention from your eyes, a metallic-glittery lip could 

also achieve just that. 

Green Tea 

• The Glow from Within 

The arrival of fall means drier skin. Thus this season calls 

for a makeup trend to ensure the glow doesn’t escape from 

your face. Instead of opting for loads of light foundation, the 

highlighter should be your go-to makeup tool. Giving a glow 

to the face like a baby’s skin, this season is all about looking 

shiny and radiant. 

Eggs 

• The Red Stain 

Perhaps the boldest yet elegant makeup aspect has 

always been the red lip. This season, the red lip became a 

red stain, meaning high pigmentation. Whether you opt for a 

bright-red, matte, or deep burgundy, this trend ensures you 

become the center of attention. Rub some powder on the 

lip to simplify the effect, or apply heavy lip gloss to makes 

heads turn. This trend is bound to make others go weak in 

the knees.

season change calls for wardrobe change. Out with the 

A old, and in with the fashionable, is the notion to follow. 

However, with the large variety of trends donning magazine 

covers this season, we understand your confusion in what 

works best. 

Fret not, for we tell you the best and most ‘in’ trends this fall, 

to ensure you make the fashion statement you have been 

waiting for: 

• Plaid is back. 

Suede Flats 

Taking you back to your school times, plaid returns as a musthave 

staple in your wardrobe. In case you wish for a subtle 

look, a simple solid-colored plaid dress paired with stilettos 

and dangling earrings is bound to win hearts. On the other 

hand, if you wish to go all in, wearing plaid over plaid is also 

trending. A light-colored plaid top, with a dark-shaded plaid 

coat on top, and you will stun. Numerous designers have already 

given their thumbs-up to all things plaid on the runway, 

Chanel being one of many. As plaid makes its return, play 

your part in establishing this trend further with a simple plaid 

shirt, perhaps tucked into a plaid skirt – giving schoolgirl but 

cool girl vibes. 

• Trench Coat (Read: Cape) 

Open Toe 

Buckle 

The trench coat has always been in style, but this season, 

it has been improvised to make the Trench Cape. They are 

loose and airy, thus being immensely comfortable to wear. 

Belted just above the waist, they complement your figure, 

alongside upholding ideas of fashion. If you opt for the long 

ones, these capes trail behind you, ensuring you become a 

head-turner wherever you go. Whilst short trench coats are 

also trending this fall. Pair them up with skin-tight pants and 

high heeled-boots, for a look to remember. 

• Ruffles 

Metallic Leather 

In case you are a fan of vintage clothing, hold on to your 

heart for this fall is all about bringing back ruffles. Enhancing 

the beauty of all outfits it is paired with, ruffles have a certain 

fashionable vibe to them. Whether you couple them with 

bright prints, or with a simple polka-dotted dress, get ready 

to receive a lot of compliments. Vintage, yet modern? Yes 

please! 

• Silk Scarves 

Snakeskin Prints 

When deciding what completes a look, who can forget the 

ever-important scarves? A silk scarf exclaims elegance 

alongside fashion. The ways in which a scarf can be used are 

numerous. Pair it up with a V-neck dress, or wear it stylishly 

with denim shirts. Wear it as a bandanna, or a belt, or you can 

even tie it to your bag. Multiple uses, and always in trend, a 

silk scarf is a must-have.

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 antiinflammatory. 

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, antioxidant/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.

(StatePoint) Dietary supplements help people get the 

nutrients they need to thrive, and 77 percent of Americans 

take them, according to the Council for Responsible Nutrition 

(CRN). However, experts say that in order to make 

smart choices down the line, it is necessary to understand 

changes being made to product labels. 

“The Food and Drug Administration has mandated that all 

dietary supplement products feature updated labeling by 

January 2021 to reflect the evolution of the American diet, 

as well as advancements in nutrition science,” says Brian 

Wommack, senior vice president of communications at 

CRN. “Larger manufacturers will comply by January 2020, 

and many other manufacturers will be introducing the new 

labels early, so it’s smart for everyone to get familiar with 

the updates now.” 

Eighty-two percent of Americans agree that the information 

on the label helps them make purchasing decisions, and 

being label wise, according to Wommack, means being 

committed to reading product labels, having knowledge of 

what information is featured and why, and making smart, 

well-informed purchasing decisions. 

“While some of the changes to the label are more obvious 

than others, all of them are important to understand,” says 

Wommack. 

To help you understand the transition, CRN has identified 

some of the noticeable aspects of the new Supplement 

Facts label: 

• New Daily Values (DVs) will reflect the latest nutrition science 

and changes in American diets. 

• Vitamins A, D, and E will change from amounts in International 

Units (IU), to the more common measures of 

milligrams (mg) and micrograms (mcg). 

• Folic acid, an important nutrient before and during pregnancy, 

will be listed as folate and measured in micrograms 

of dietary folate equivalents (DFEs). 

• If sugar is added to the product, you will see the amount 

and percent DV.

“We all have unique nutritional needs. So, talk with your 

healthcare practitioner to understand how these label 

changes might impact you,” says Wommack.
