The hero with a thousand faces by Joseph Campbell 

The Hero with a Thousand Faces (first published in 1949) is a 

work of comparative mythology by Joseph Campbell, in which 

the author discusses his theory of the mythological structure of 

the journey of the archetypal hero found in world myths. 

Since the publication of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell’s 

theory has been consciously applied by a wide variety of 

modern writers and artists. Filmmaker George Lucas acknowledged 

Campbell’s theory in mythology, and its influence on the 

Star Wars films. 

The Joseph Campbell Foundation and New World Library issued 

a new edition of The Hero with a Thousand Faces in July 2008 as 

part of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series of books, 

audio and video recordings. In 2011, Time placed the book in its 

list of the 100 best and most influential books written in English 

since the magazine was founded in 1923.

In laying out the monomyth, Campbell describes a number of stages or 

steps along this journey. “The hero’s adventure” begins in the ordinary 

world. He must depart from the ordinary world, when he receives a call 

to adventure. With the help of a mentor, the hero will cross a guarded 

threshold, leading him to a supernatural world, where familiar laws and 

order do not apply. There, the hero will embark on a road of trials, where 

he is tested along the way. The archetypal hero is sometimes assisted by 

allies. As the hero faces the ordeal, he encounters the greatest challenge 

of the journey. Upon rising to the challenge, the hero will receive a reward, 

or boon. Campbell’s theory of the monomyth continues with the inclusion 

of a metaphorical death and resurrection. The hero must then decide to 

return with this boon to the ordinary world. The hero then faces more trials 

on the road back. Upon the hero’s return, the boon or gift may be used to 

improve the hero’s ordinary world, in what Campbell calls, the application 

of the boon.

Chowanoke Native American History 

Many people are unaware that certain U.S. Navy 

ships are named after American Indian Tribes. 

Ship naming conventions were established in the 1800’s 

by Congress in Title 13, Chapter 6 of the United States 

Code and allow the Secretary of the Navy to name the 

Navy’s vessels following certain rules. Specifically, ocean 

fleet tugs and harbor tugs are named after American Indian 

tribes and the highest honor a Secretary of the Navy 

can bestow is in the naming of a ship. 

With that being said, few know that a US Navy ATF ship 

was named after the Chowanoc (Chowanoke) Tribe. Of 

the many possible Tribal names considered, the USS 

Chowanoc (ATF-100) was part of the Abnaki Class of 

Ocean Fleet Tugs that consisted of twenty-two ships. 

Fleet Ocean Tugs are used to tow ships, perform rescue 

missions, clean up ocean oil spills and conduct various 

other naval exercises or missions. 

The USS Chowanoc was commissioned in 1944 and was 

used extensively during World War II, the Korean War, 

and the Vietnam War. It earned the Navy Unit Commendation 

for service in Salvage, Fire Fighting, and Rescue 

Unit in Philippine Islands, four battle stars for its services 

during World War II, one battle star during the Korean 

War, and seven campaign stars during Vietnam War. 

The USS Chowanoc was decommissioned in 1977 and 

sold to Ecuador. The other Ocean Fleet Tugs in the Abnaki 

Class were likewise decommissioned and most were 

sold to various countries in South America, with a couple 

remaining stateside or lost. The Abnaki Class of Ocean 

Fleet Tugs have since been succeeded by the Powhatan 

Class of Ocean Fleets Tugs, which consisted only of 

seven ships. Only four are currently active.

FINANCIAL FOCUS 

Can You Improve Your Relationship with Money? 

In your life, you will have all sorts of relationships – with your family, 

your friends, your co-workers, and even with civic groups and 

charitable organizations you support. But have you ever considered 

another key relationship – the one you have with money? 

Of course, this type of relationship has several aspects, such as saving, 

spending and investing. And your fellow Americans clearly face 

some challenges in these areas. For example, in a recent survey by 

financial services firm Edward Jones, only 21% of respondents reported 

that they feel happy when thinking about saving money, while 

92% said they see room for improvement in their financial health. Yet 

only one in four plan to improve their spending habits. Furthermore, 

just 26% said retirement was a top savings priority. 

If you share some of these concerns, what should you do? Here are a 

few suggestions: 

• Identify your money-related emotions. Try to recognize the emotions 

you feel in connection with saving and investing. Do you get nervous 

about spending? Does putting away money for the future give you 

satisfaction or not? Do you worry that you don’t know how much you 

should be investing, or whether you’re investing in the right way? 

Clearly, these types of questions can cause some anxiety – and, even 

more importantly, they may lead you to make poor decisions. Emotions 

are obviously closely tied to money – but they really should not 

play a big role in your spending, saving and investing choices. 

• Develop a financial strategy. By developing a sound financial strategy, 

you can reduce money-related stress and help yourself feel empowered 

as you look to the future. A comprehensive strategy can help 

you identify your goals – a down payment on a new home, college 

for your children, a comfortable retirement, and so on – and identify a

path toward reaching them. Your financial strategy should incorporate 

a variety of factors, including your age, risk tolerance, income level, 

family situation and more. Here’s the key point: By creating a longterm 

strategy and sticking to it, you’ll be far less likely to overreact 

to events such as market downturns and less inclined to give in to 

impulses such as “spur of the moment” costly purchases. And without 

such a strategy, you will almost certainly have less chance of achieving 

your important goals. 

• Get an “accountability partner.” Your relationship with money doesn’t 

have to be monogamous – you can get help from an “accountability 

partner.” Too many people keep their financial concerns and plans to 

themselves, not even sharing them with their partners or other family 

members. But by being open about your finances to your loved ones, 

you can not only avoid misplaced expectations but also enlist the help 

of someone who may be able to help keep you on track toward your 

short- and long-term goals. But you may also benefit from the help of 

a financial professional – someone with the perspective, experience 

and skills necessary to help you make the right moves. 

Like all successful relationships, the one you have with money requires 

work. But you’ll find it’s worth the effort.

Orthodox Christianity 

Orthodoxy and Politics 

by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd 

It’s hard to put the Orthodox Church on a political spectrum. 

If asked whether Orthodoxy is Republican or Democrat, 

Conservative or Liberal, an Orthodox Christian would (or 

should) say “None of these.” 

To be sure, the Orthodox Church has always taught what is 

commonly called “traditional morality.” This includes a high 

view of family life; sex within a heterosexual marriage; rejection 

of abortion and euthanasia. 

It is lamentable that these traditional affirmations are often 

taken as a “rightwing” affiliation, and that Orthodoxy — just 

because it is traditional — is lumped in with partisan politics. 

This is not the case, mainly because there is a lot of Orthodox 

traditional morality that cannot fit nicely into a partisan agenda. 

From the time of the Lord’s ministry upon the earth, the 

Church has always held to the standard “Put not your trust in 

mortal princes” (Psalm 146.3). It has always criticized politics 

for its tendency toward empty words, economic injustice, and 

oppression of the weak and the poor. 

joined with Martin Luther King in the Selma March in 1965 — 

one of the few white leaders who participated. 

Gregory, along with many other Fathers of the Church, also 

condemned “usury,” which is the charging of interest. And 

thus, the Church has never signed on to an economics based 

on centralized industrial profit-making. St John Chrysostom, 

later in the fourth century, was never shy about denouncing 

the Emperor and Empress for their failure to take care of the 

poor — sometimes to their face while sitting in the balcony of 

the Cathedral of the Holy Wisdom in Constantinople. He was 

frog-marched across modern-day Turkey for his behavior, and 

died of exhaustion along the way. 

Such facts, indeed, do not fit within the simplistic labels of 

modern politics. That is a good thing, actually. The Orthodox 

Church is “traditional,” certainly: but it is neither Republican 

nor Democrat, Conservative or Liberal, rightwing or leftwing 

just because Orthodoxy witnesses to the whole Christian Tradition, 

not just part of it.

The Orthodox Church has always waved the banner of protecting 

humanity and the earth. St Gregory of Nyssa, writing 

in the fourth century, condemned slavery outright: “… if God 

does not enslave what is free, who is he that sets his own 

power above God’s?” It is because of this old Christian tradition 

of human dignity that the Orthodox Archbishop Iakovos

6 Myths About Pet Allergies Feb. 2020 NATURE 11 

by: Coy Domecq vortexehs@outlook.com 

(NewsUSA) - By gaining a better understanding of the allergies 

caused by pets, you may be able to find a healthier 

coexistence with your furry friend. 

According to The Humane Society, 62 percent of American 

households have at least one pet. Yet, an estimated 31 

million Americans are allergic to animals, including up to 30 

percent of those who have asthma. Here’s what you should 

know about pet allergies: 

Myth 1: It’s only pet hair that causes allergies to flare up. 

Not true. Pet hair is a nuisance and causes allergies, as it 

contains saliva or other pet proteins. Allergic reactions to pets 

are actually caused by pet proteins contained in pet dander, 

such as microscopic skin flakes, saliva and urine. Overactive 

immune systems in those with allergies attack these otherwise 

harmless substances. 

Myth 2: Continuous exposure to animals will eventually 

desensitize you to them.Not only is this not true, but in some 

cases the opposite is true. If you have a confirmed allergy to 

animals, it usually will not get better through increasing exposure. 

In fact, it may get worse. 

Myth 3: With the right pet breed, allergy problems go away. 

Not true. All cat or dog breeds produce dander. However, 

some breeds are believed to be better for allergy sufferers 

than other breeds. Typically the best breeds are those that 

shed the least fur and/or are the most frequently bathed. Also, 

smaller dogs produce less saliva than do bigger dogs. 

Myth 4: Small animals are not a problem for allergies. 

Wrong. Hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and other warm-blooded 

mammals can also trigger asthma and allergies in people with 

allergies to animal dander, according to the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

Myth 5: Outside the home, you shouldn’t have pet allergies. 

Not necessarily. Because of their microscopic size and jagged 

shape, pet allergens easily stick to clothing and other fabrics 

and are carried to other locations. Animal dander -- in 

sufficient levels to cause allergies -- can be found in many 

public places such as the workplace, classrooms and hospitals, 

according to the American Lung Association. 

Myth 6: An air purifier will help with pet allergies. 

It depends on the air purifier. Only a high-performance air 

purifier can help. Some allergy sufferers report that small, 

low-quality air cleaners make little or no difference at all. 

However, many allergy sufferers report that their IQAir air 

purifier, in combination with improved cleaning methods, has 

reduced or completely eliminated their allergic reactions to 

pets in their homes. 

For more information, visit the IQAir website at www.iqair. 

com. 

Like many misunderstood native plants, some are maligned 

for seemingly having no redemptive value to humans. 

This is often the case for milkweed. Many people are aware 

that the larvae of Monarch butterflies feed specifically on the 

milkweed plant as their sole source of nutrition. Some naturelovers 

plant milkweed plots to bolster butterfly food resources. 

Unfortunately, and in some cases, for good reason, the presence 

of milkweed plant is unwelcome because it impinges 

upon farming practices. After all, isn’t that what “weeds” do? 

It may come as a surprise that parts and stages of milkweed 

are edible by humans. As always, positive identification is 

required so as not to be confused with the similar-looking toxic 

dogbane and proper preparation is required to minimize any 

adverse effects. The tender young shoots and pods can be 

prepared as boiled or sautéed once properly leeched. The 

silk extracted from the pods has a cheese-like texture useful 

as a binder in casseroles. Native Americans used milkweed 

as a dietary supplement, much as we use green peppers, 

and even extracted a mild sweetener from the plant. Probably 

more importantly, they derived medicinal uses for ailments 

ranging from warts to fever, stomach and lung conditions. The 

milkweed genus name Asclepias is a nod to the Greek god of 

medicine, Asclepius. 

In order to gain absolute certainty of the variety of your 

milkweed plant, the best way is to plant seeds from a known 

source and type. I am actively seeking any seeds that may be 

available for chocolate milkweed.

Albemarle Eye Center 

INSPIRATION 

February is Macular Degeneration Awareness 

Month. Macular Degeneration is the leading 

cause of vision loss, affecting more than 10 million 

Americans – more than cataracts and glaucoma 

combined. 

At present, Macular Degeneration is considered an 

incurable eye disease. 

Macular Degeneration is caused by the deterioration 

of the central portion of the retina, the inside back 

layer of the eye that records the images we see and 

sends them via the optic nerve from the eye to the 

brain. The retina’s central portion, known as the macula, 

is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye, 

and it controls our ability to read, drive a car, recognize 

faces or colors, and see objects in fine detail. 

Macular Degeneration 

As part of our month-long focus on healthy aging, 

we’re sharing some information about how a healthy 

diet promotes more than just healthy living. While it 

should come as no surprise that the foods you eat 

have a direct impact on the health of your eyes, do 

you know what foods you should be eating for good 

eye health? Here’s a hint, it’s not just carrots! We’ve 

created a list of several foods that have the best benefit 

for your eyes so you can plan better meals for you 

and your family. 

Leafy Greens: Collards are a southern tradition, but 

they’re also a source of Lutein and Zeaxathin, two key 

antioxidants that may help prevent the age-related 

eye diseases, macular degeneration and cataracts. 

Other leafy greens are rich sources of theses antioxidants 

as well. So the next time you’re at the farmer’s 

market, be sure to stock up on plenty of kale, spinach, 

romaine lettuce, turnip greens, and more. 

Oranges, Grapefruit Juice, Broccoli, Etc.: We all know 

that vitamin C helps boost our immune system, but it 

can also help protect against cataracts and macular 

degeneration. Oranges and orange juice are loaded 

with vitamin C, and Grapefruit Juice, while not as 

potent as oranges, still pack a strong punch. In fact, 

there are tons of fruits and veggies full of this powerful 

vitamin. The more you add into your diet, the better 

chance you have in avoiding those age-related eye 

diseases. 

Fish: Fish are chalk-full of essential fatty acids (or 

amino acids) that are the building blocks of good muscle 

growth. But those fatty acids also play a key role 

in the continued development of your eyes. They help 

with things like retinal function and can even protect 

against dry eye. Not every fish has the same benefit, 

so make sure you’re loading up on salmon, tuna, and 

mackerel at the market. 

Almonds and Other Nuts: Nuts are loaded with vitamin 

E, which protects your eye from the slow deterioration 

of your sight from diseases like cataracts and 

macular degeneration. In fact, almonds are so packed 

with vitamin E, that one ounce can account for almost 

1/3 of your daily recommended intake. In addition to 

their high vitamin E content, almonds and nuts make a 

great nutritious snack during the day. They can stave 

off those hunger cravings without leaving you feel 

groggy around 3 o’clock. 

Any physician or dietitian will tell you to make these 

foods part of your regular diet, as they are essential 

to maintaining a good overall health. But most folks 

aren’t aware of the benefits they offer to your eyes as 

well. Many of the same nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants 

that improve our overall health have a similar 

benefit for our eyes. Knowing which foods will give 

you the biggest benefits is essential to making sure 

you can avoid many age-related eye disease, such 

as cataracts and macular degeneration. So the next 

time you visit your local farmers market or head to the 

grocery store, make sure to load up on the foods in 

this list to keep seeing everything life has to offer for 

years to come. 

To learn more about what foods can help you, and to 

test yourself for cataracts, macular degeneration and 

other age-related eye diseases, contact us, AECPEC, 

today at 1-800-755-7535 and let us show you what we 

have been missing!

“Let Them Eat Whole Foods”: The Appalling Elitism of Dollar Store Bans 

by: Dr. Laura Williams 

What’s really driving dollar-store bans? Could it be a simple lack of empathy? 

Should city governments dictate where you can shop for 

food? If your neighbors see a need for a store, and happily 

patronize it, should outsiders shut down that option? 

These are the battle lines of the emerging movement 

against dollar stores. Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mesquite, Texas, 

Dekalb County, Georgia, New Orleans, Louisiana, and 

other municipalities nationwide are trying to limit the number 

of dollar stores that can serve their population. 

The people who actually shop at dollar stores love them. 

The most frequent customers are seniors on fixed incomes, 

cash-strapped students, and busy parents. If 

you don’t have a car or access to public transit, there’s 

probably one within five miles of your house. If you drive, 

there’s a dollar store on your way to just about anywhere. 

In a compact space, dollar stores stock household staples 

like toothpaste, toilet paper, soap, and pet supplies at rockbottom 

prices. Only Dollar Tree still prices all its goods 

at $1, but Family Dollar and Dollar General might have 

10,000 products for that price, and reasonable deals on 

$2-$10 goods. It’s a place where almost anyone on any 

budget can splurge a little on treating themselves. 

Sixty-two percent of adults surveyed by brand intelligence 

firm Morning Consult say Dollar Tree “has a positive effect 

on my community” (compared to 51 percent for Starbucks 

and 59 percent for Target). 

People who can afford more choices—driving out to a 

big-box store, buying in bulk, ordering online, patronizing 

a farmer’s market—simply can’t see the perspective of 

someone for whom the dollar store is the most practical 

option. 

Relatively wealthy dollar store detractors exhibit the obliviousness 

of an out-of-touch aristocracy. According to legend, 

Marie Antoinette, queen of France, when told that her 

subjects were going hungry for want of bread, responded 

blithely, “Let them eat cake.” 

Now, politicians and middle-class activists seek to ban 

sources of $1 bread with an unspoken, “Let them eat 

Whole Foods.” 

“Terrible food...and such small portions!” 

Opponents of dollar stores often contradict each other or 

even themselves. 

Haters complain retail jobs offered by dollar stores are 

“low quality and low-wage” but also that dollar stores don’t 

create enough of these low-quality, undesirable jobs. One 

is reminded of the Woody Allen line complaining about a 

restaurant’s “terrible food...and such small portions!” 

A Tulsa councilwoman begrudgingly confirmed that dollar 

retailers offer essentials like toothpaste and school supplies, 

bread and eggs, in areas where supermarkets “have 

consistently failed.” Why this is condemnable, rather than 

laudable, she does not explain. 

With backward economic thinking, CNN claimed dollar 

stores “limit poor communities’ access to healthy food,” 

blaming low-cost retailers for the gaps they try to fill. 

Bans on walkable, ultra-affordable stores do nothing to 

increase the availability of fresh food; they merely stamp 

out the only existing option. 

A Failure to Relate 

So if not those surface-level concerns, what’s really driving 

dollar-store bans? Could it be a simple lack of empathy? 

In the neighborhoods and rural areas where dollar retailers 

are most popular, they offer affordable groceries to those 

with tight budgets, packed schedules, and limited mobility. 

These laws are proposed by people who don’t shop in dollar 

stores and can’t understand why anyone would want to. 

A planner and architect from Baltimore said dollar stores 

were popping up in poorer neighborhoods, “like a parasite.” 

Bill Torpy, columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution 

said County Commissioners were right to be “disgusted” 

as dollar stores moved in (the headline has since been 

changed to “rightly sees little value in”). 

Residents of Chester, Vermont, rejected a proposed dollar 

store because residents feared “the beginning of the end 

for Chester’s Vermontiness.” Dollar store skeptics nationwide 

say they value “community character” and reject the 

“unsightliness” of dollar store signage. 

For people with cars, free time, and disposable income, 

“just drive two miles to the grocery store” may seem like 

benign advice. But for people just getting by, it’s dismissive 

of their real challenges.

ECONOMICS 13 

that you’ll use government power to block (other) people’s 

access to affordable bread, pencils, and toilet paper. And it 

adds condescending insult to injury to claim to be doing so 

“for their own good.” 

Dr. Laura Williams teaches communication strategy 

to undergraduates and executives. She is a passionate 

advocate for critical thinking, individual liberties, 

and the Oxford Comma. 

Critics objected when suburban growth sent stores running 

for whiter, more affluent suburbs. But dollar stores’ explicit 

attempts to reverse this trend—to set up affordable retail 

options in poorer, underserved neighborhoods—are somehow 

also the target of scorn. 

You’ll also hear critics claim dollar stores engage in “predatory” 

behavior by offering prices that are simultaneously 

too low (undercutting potential competitors) and also too 

high (as compared to a per-unit cost at the Costco 15 miles 

away). 

If the same work had been done by a food bank—30,000 

locations providing ultra-affordable, shelf-stable groceries, 

concentrated in areas with the most need—would we 

applaud it? 

Perhaps, but only if the signage were subtle and they 

weren’t close enough that people could walk to them. We 

wouldn’t want to look like the kind of neighborhood that 

needs those. 

It’s not wrong to care about community character or beautiful 

streets. But it’s an injustice to care about them so much

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: You wrote in the past that we should try 

to help kids that might kill themselves. I don’t see a lot of 

kids doing that. Are you sure it is a problem? HiSchool- 

Teacher 

• Dear Teach: Recent research showed that although 

we spent more health funds than most developed 

countries, we have lower life expectancy than most and 

highest suicide rates. Criminal justice issues tend to 

overlap with other problems, and depressed kids might be 

involved in many issues. Yes, it pays off to act if you feel 

a kid is unusually “upset”. Research on college students 

found depressed students had a high rate of crime, and 

there were no gender differences. 

Dear Dr. Crime: What makes women scared of being 

assaulted? BoyFriend 

• Dear Boyfriend: Research on women in Canada 

found that ladies are more afraid of strangers than men 

they know. Yet, they are more likely to be assaulted by a 

someone they know. 

Dear Dr. Crime. Our criminal justice system works to 

reduce repeat offenses, right? Citizen 

• Dear Citizen: The US Bureau of Justice Statistics 

followed up state court offenders after release and found 

that 5 OUT OF 6 STATE PRISONERS WERE ARREST- 

ED WITHIN 9 YEARS OF THEIR RELEASE. It is fair to 

say that our body of criminological research shows that 

more objective, research based information must be used 

to guide policy. We can do better. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Are we having a lot of “mass shootings”? 

It seems it is on the TV every day. Mayor 

Dear Mayor: You should be planning for mass shooting, 

just in case. National TV (CBS News) reported that 

by the end of 2019, there were 417 mass shootings in 

the U.S.. The study was produced by the Gun Violence 

Archive (GVA). Thirty-one of those shootings were mass 

murders. 

Dear Dr. Crime: What are the people called “LBGTQ” 

and are they more criminal than others? Confused fellow 

Dear Confused. The term you mention changes from 

time to time. One definition includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, 

transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and 

asexual or allied. This involves social change of importance. 

The Williams Institute reported that LGBQ Youth 

are Disproportionately Incarcerated in the U.S. Juvenile 

Justice System. Almost 60% of locked up girls fall in one 

of those categories.

Fresh Eggs & Raising Chickens 

By: Jimmy Fleming 

One of my favorite memories of when 

I was a little boy was collecting eggs 

with my grandmother. When I got married 

and we bought our first house, it didn’t take 

me long to buy some chickens and start 

collecting my own fresh eggs. My dad used 

to incubate quail eggs, hatch them out, and 

raise them which also influenced my love for 

fowl. I incubated eggs in his old incubator, 

put eggs under a setting hen, and sometimes 

ordered baby chicks through the mail. 

There was just something relaxing about 

watching the chickens in the yard and collecting 

those fresh eggs. It was also great 

eating those fresh eggs too. A fresh egg 

from chickens that are allowed to free range 

in the yard looks and tastes totally different 

than the eggs you buy in the big supermarkets. 

An egg that comes from a home raised 

chicken has a dark orange colored yolk and 

the white of the egg is very firm. The egg 

shell is also very tough and harder to crack 

than store bought eggs. When hatching 

your own chicks or even buying what is 

known as straight run chicks, you end up 

with more roosters than you need. The best 

way to solve that problem is to raise them 

till they are about 3-4 months of age and 

have yourself a chicken killing. At 3-4 lbs 

each, they make great fryers, chicken salad, 

chicken soup, or any other way you prefer 

your chicken. The meat from these chickens 

also looks totally different than the chicken 

meat you buy in the store. The meat is richer 

in color and actually has some fat on the 

carcass. Anyway, I highly recommend raising 

your own chickens if you live in an area 

where you can. If I ever get back to living in 

the country again, chickens will definitely be 

on my list of things to do.

16 BOW HUNTING 

Bowhunter Gifts 

North Carolina Bow Hunters Association 

By now the small game season is about ½ over with a little under a 

month remaining. If you haven’t had the opportunity to get out and 

bowhunt for squirrel or rabbits I urge you to take the time to go! 

After the small game season is over I urge you to do a complete 

inspection on all of your gear. First check your bows for loose cables, 

screws that may be loose, or sights that may need to be adjusted. If 

you shoot recurves or longbows, check your strings for fraying, check 

your bows for any damage that may have occurred, check your rests. 

Perhaps it is time to once again get new arrows or a new release. 

After all, turkey season is on the horizon. Get all preps done now! 

In July 2017, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) was 

granted authority to allow Sunday hunting on public lands via the Outdoor 

Heritage Enhanced Act. The WRC has been gathering data and 

public input to help inform this decision. There are some pertinent 

questions that have been asked and the NCWRC is in the process of 

gathering data. 

Is Sunday hunting currently allowed on game lands? 

No, Sunday hunting is not allowed on any game lands at this time. 

All game lands are designated as three-day-per-week areas, six-dayper-week 

areas, or permit-only areas for hunting during open seasons. 

None of these designations currently include Sundays. 

If the Commission allows Sunday hunting on game lands, will 

there be any restrictions? 

Yes, as specified in the Outdoor Heritage Enhanced Act, the following 

activities will be prohibited: 

- Hunting with a firearm between 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., 

- Hunting deer with the use of dogs, and 

- Hunting within 500 yards of a place of worship. 

There will be several forums where the public is invited to express its 

input on Sunday hunting on Gamelands. 

Monday February 10 Martin Community College (Auditorium 

Building 2) Williamston NC 

Tuesday February 11 Bladen Community College ( Auditorium )

Thursday February 13 Haywood Community College (Reg. High 

Tech Aud.) Clyde, NC 

Tuesday February 18 Almace Community College (Auditorium ) 

Graham, NC 

Wednesday February 19 James Garner Center

Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point) 

Instructor with a Batchelors degree in Nutrition Science. 

What’s in your diet? 

It’s February and I thought I’d devote a little reflection 

about Black History Month, particularly from my 

personnel exposure. I’m personally proud of my newly 

achieved, octogenarian status, and my early roots. So, 

how to link the two in my health oriented perspective? 

In 1937, my mother migrated from the Albemarle, in 

Northeast North Carolina, to the Morrisiana Section of 

the Bronx during the Harlem Renaissance. I was privileged 

to grow up in a multicultural neighborhood that 

exposed me to that remarkable era of cultural creativity. 

Langston Hughes who was one of my best friend’s 

uncle, was a frequent visitor to our block. My friend lived 

on the top floor of a five story walk up, so Mr. Hughes 

would stop and chat with us kids before his trek to visit 

his brother. He was a talkative guy with a lot to say. How 

I wish that there were personal technology like smart 

phones in those days, to have captured his incredible 

wisdom. 

It was not uncommon to hear musical icons like Thelonius 

Monk, Errol Garner, and Elmo Hope rehearsing 

their craft, in their apartments, and on the roofs. In those 

days, music was part of many school curriculum’s. Public 

schools even supplied loaner instruments, a practice 

that spawned generations of internationally acclaimed 

musicians. It seems to me, the world class musicians 

that came out of that environment, were a positive use of 

the educational budget. To have removed art and music 

appreciation from inner city schools, was misguided. The 

return of investment, justified continuance. 

A few years ago, I went home to attended a tribute to 

Elmo Hope Concert at Fordham University, that featured 

Jazz Master Jimmy Owens- Board Member of the Jazz 



Foundation of America, and a life long friend. My column, 

that month, talked about the intense stress of NYC traffic 

and how after a few minutes of the concert, I was totally 

unstressed. Pharmaceuticals usually require about 20 

minutes. The old adage, music calms the savage beast, 

probably has some merit. It seems to me that we have 

been marketed away from our best first option. 

I began researching music therapy as a health strategy. 

Here are my findings: Music Therapy is an established 

health profession with a strong research foundation, 

which when used within a therapeutic relationship, 

addresses overall physical rehabilitation, facilitates 

movement, and provides among other things, an outlet 

for expression of feelings. My new 62+ community is a 

perfect spot to observe and promote music therapy as a 

viable component of health and nutrition strategies. . 

That segues into my Health & Nutrition Strategy Workshops, 

here at Overture, Virginia Beach .The initial 

workshop was a great success. We started with the 

essential nutrient,Lipids (oils/fats), then we had a Q and 

A interaction. I thought the Q & A, was the highlight of 

the session. I like the idea of being able to support my 

information with spontaneous visual documentation in a 

Q & A forum. 

Looking forward to the next workshop, February 19th 

3pm. We’’ll finish up lipids, and begin protein. Join us. 

You are what you eat. 

(StatePoint) Flowers, chocolate and candlelit dinner are 

classic ways to show devotion on Valentine’s Day, but by 

tapping into your loved one’s hobbies and interests, you 

will discover gifts that truly last. 

• For readers: For avid readers, it can seem as though 

there are never enough books. However, a book-of-themonth 

subscription box can help satiate bibliophiles. 

Delivered right to their doorstep, discovering new favorite 

authors and titles has never been so convenient. 

• For music-makers: A keyboard with versatile features 

such as the ultra-compact CT-S200 from Casio can 

inspire any aspiring or seasoned musician to learn the 

basics or take the show on the road. With its 61 full-size 

keys and built-in carrying handle, beginners can connect 

it to the Chordana Play app, which features progressive 

lessons, or take advantage of its dance music mode to 

create and remix electronic dance music tracks. 

• For artists: A gift certificate to an art studio is a thoughtful 

way to cultivate your loved one’s talent. It also gives 

them the flexibility to select a class that fits their schedule 

and level of experience. If classes that meet outside the 

home are not viable, consider a subscription to an online 

learning platform such as Skillshare, which offers thousands 

of classes, including those in fine art, digital art, 

photography and more. 

• For gamers and sports enthusiasts: Gamers and sports 

fans have one thing in common, and it’s the need for a 

great home theater set-up that offers clear, bright images. 

You can help them experience their favorite pastime in a 

brand-new way with a home projector, such as the Slim 

XJ-A257, a low-maintenance, high-brightness projector 

that incorporates a CASIO developed hybrid light source 

combining laser and LED technology. 

• For writers: Whether your loved one is a budding novelist, 

a poet or essayist, a beautiful journal in which to capture 

their thoughts will be much appreciated. For those 

prone to writer’s block, consider a journal that includes 

writing prompts and other exercises to get the wheels 

spinning. 

This year, try gifting something different than the old 

standbys. Valentine’s Day lasts one day but the right gift 

will bring your loved one joy throughout the year.

History of Self Defense: 

The Origins of Fairbairn’s DEFENDU 

The first appearance of the term DEFENDU was 

as the title of W.E. Fairbairn’s 1926 publication on 

his method of “scientific self-defence”. We are further 

informed that this treatise is the “official text book for the 

Shanghai Municipal Police, Hong Kong (sic) Police and 

Singapore Police”. 

The usage of DEFENDU is found twice in the forward 

of the 1926 edition. However, in this context it would 

be important to remember that Fairbairn claims almost 

complete originality in the methods presented, stating 

however that they are drawn from several different 

sources. In this regard it would not be applicable to use 

Asian terms or nomenclature, i.e. “Jiu jitsu” or Western 

descriptive phrases such as “Chinese Boxing”. Fairbairn 

claims originality in the methods presented, hence an 

“original” descriptive term would be apropos. 

This situation however caused confusion among readers 

of this edition and hence in the 1931 edition of Fairbairn’s 

work the title was changed to “Scientific Self-Defence”. 

This was done to make the content of this edition 

more clear to the average individual. 

The term DEFENDU is found again in Biddle’s work “DO 

OR DIE”(1937). Fairbairn is credited with developing 

this method. It is interesting to note that Biddle makes a 

clear distinction between “Jiu-Jitsu” and “Defendu”. The 

1944 edition of Colonel Biddle’s book also uses the term 

DEFENDU and the text is virtually the same as in the 

earlier edition. Excepting one important point: In the later 

edition Biddle refers to Fairbairn’s book “GET TOUGH”. 

However, he does not correct the fact that Fairbairn by 

this time was a Major serving with US Forces(not Assistant 

Commissioner of the SMP). There are of course 

obvious reasons for this lapse. 

The point however is that the term DEFENDU relates 

too much earlier methods espoused by Fairbairn and 

did not reflect his thinking at this time (1944). The British 

edition of “ALL IN FIGHTING” also mentions DEFENDU, 

but just as a passing comment in reference to Fairbairn’s 

earlier works. “GET TOUGH” the US reprint of 

“ALL IN FIGHTING” refers to the close combat fighting 

method present as the “Fairbairn System”. 

So what is the point? Well here it is……… I believe that 

the changes in terminology referring to LT. COLONEL 

(NOT CAPTAIN, NOT MAJOR, as so MANY ill informed 


DEFENSE 19 

individuals refer-DO YOUR DAMN RESEARCH!) Fairbairn’s 

methods reflect a CHANGE (growth if you will) in 

his COMPLETE ATTITUDE regarding close combat. 

In describing his MOS for paperwork detailing his duties 

and responsibilities in connection with being awarded 

the “Legion of Merit”, Fairbairn refers to his methods of 

close combat as “Gutter-fighting”. Consider if you will 

the change in attitude from “Scientific Self-Defence” to 

“GUTTER FIGHTING”. Fairbairn further elucidates his 

feelings by describing two key elements: VEHEMENCE 

and ARTIFICE! “SCIENTIFIC” self defense this is NOT! 

Now for those who have proposed that DEFENDU 

remains the POLICE “version” of the Fairbairn method 

and make a distinction as to the military method, well 

consider that after WWII the manual of choice used by 

POLICE agencies under Fairbairn’s consult was “GET 

TOUGH”, reprinted in the language of that particular 

agency. 

Now as to the possible origins of the original term 

DEFENDU. I have over the years heard several stories. 

Some were simply ridiculous in light of the facts we 

KNOW! Two however stand out as possible(and very 

plausible) candidates. First, is the simple use of DE- 

FEND combined with the well known term jiu-jits”U”. 

Hence, DEFENDU. Aside from what others may claim, 

Jiu Jitsu(of this period) influenced Fairbairn far more 

than even he was willing to admit. And that goes for the 

staple methods of the edge hand, chin-jab, and even 

the “tiger” claw. Jiu jitsu had these very blows and gave 

great credence to their effectiveness in “real” combat 

(YES! this can be verified by books, manuals, etc. in the 

writer’s possession) these “rock crushing” blows HANDS 

OFF, however predated by usage in turn of the century 

Jiu jitsu manuals describing these Atemi) were extant 

in “real” Jiu jitsu for centuries. As far as the claims of 

GREAT influence by “Chinese” boxing methods, such as 

Chin-Na, Ba Gua, Hsing-I, etc., I feel that the evidence 

denies this (Yeaton’s letter concerning Fairbairn’s 

thoughts on the matter). 

Hence, the use of DEFENDU pays some homage to Jiu 

jitsu, as well as giving the Western flavor to Fairbairn’s 

methods.
