Propaganda, an influential book written by Edward 

L. Bernays in 1928, incorporated the literature from 

social science and psychological manipulation into an 

examination of the techniques of public communication. 

Propaganda explored the psychology behind manipulating 

masses and the ability to use symbolic action and 

propaganda to influence politics, effect social change, 

and lobby for gender and racial equality. Edward 

Bernays was an Austrian-American pioneer in the field 

of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his 

obituary as “the father of public relations”.Bernays was 

named one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 

20th century by Life. 

His best-known campaigns include a 1929 effort to promote 

female smoking by branding cigarettes as feminist 

“Torches of Freedom” and his work for the United 

Fruit Company connected with the CIA-orchestrated 

overthrow of the democratically elected Guatemalan 

government in 1954. He worked for dozens of major 

American corporations including Procter & Gamble and 

General Electric, and for government agencies, politicians, 

and non-profit organizations. 

Of his many books, Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) 

and Propaganda (1928) gained special attention as 

early efforts to define and theorize the field of public 

relations. Citing works of writers such as Gustave Le 

Bon, Wilfred Trotter, Walter Lippmann, and his own 

double uncle Sigmund Freud, he described the masses 

as irrational and subject to herd instinct—and outlined 

how skilled practitioners could use crowd psychology 

and psychoanalysis to control them in desirable ways.

Chowanoke Native American History 

Historically, Indian tribes understood economic 

principles as they engaged extensively in trade and 

selling of goods. Almost all American Indian tribes engaged 

in entrepreneurial activities for thousands of years 

prior to colonization. For example, Indians would come 

together to exchange merchandise in an open market 

setting and would trade by barter or by using some exchange 

medium. Wampum was used as money by many 

Algonquian and Iroquoian tribes while turquoise was 

used as a medium in the southwest. These large fairs 

or markets were set up all across the country and were 

held at regularly scheduled times, attracting Natives and 

tribes who traveled great distances to participate. Many 

items including jewelry, ceramic figurines, mica, turtle 

shells, silver, minerals and turquoise were traded. Copper 

was also traded and was often used to make beads 

for jewelry making and to make various tools. 

After colonization, trading continued and in the 1740’s, 

one European was so impressed by the amount and diversity 

of goods at a trading market that was maintained 

by Indian tribes in Pennsylvania, that he remarked it was 

“like the Hague in Holland.” During the early 1800’s as 

Lewis and Clark embarked on their expedition across 

the mid-west, they too marveled at several Indian trading 

fairs they encountered where tons of dried fish were 

sold, and where many other commodities were sold. The 

Indian fairs were economically important as large numbers 

of Indians would participate and would even call 

truces in order to hold the market and conduct trade. 

By Duvonya Chavis 

trade with them. Indians in turn took advantage of this 

business opportunity and charged toll to cross their 

tribal land and control trade routes, to negotiate sales 

between Europeans and other tribes in order to profit 

and to establish trading posts near their lands for convenience. 

While individuals and tribes engaged in entrepreneurial 

activities, tribal governments also sought to maintain 

reserves for their future tribal needs. For instance tribal 

governments such as the Cherokee and the Creek 

would tax citizens a portion of their crop to keep for 

future public needs. Thus examples such as these 

represent only a small fraction of economic activities that 

Indians were engaged in prior to colonialism. These and 

other examples will hopefully begin to dismantle the idea 

that American Indians were primitive hunter gatherers at 

the time of colonial contact.

FINANCIAL FOCUS 

Women May Need Extra Steps to Reach Financial Security 

International Women’s Day 2020 is observed on March 8. This 

special day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political 

achievements of women. Yet, women still face gender barriers as they 

seek to achieve their financial goals. How can you address these challenges? 

To begin with, you need to be aware of what you’re up against. The 

wage gap between men and women has closed somewhat, but it hasn’t 

disappeared. Full-time female employees earn about 82 percent of 

what men earn, according to the Census Bureau. Over a 40-year career, 

a woman who worked full time would lose, on average, more than 

$400,000 because of this wage gap, according to the National Women’s 

Law Center. 

Furthermore, a woman turning age 65 today can expect to live, on average, 

until age 86.5; for a 65-year-old man, the comparable figure is 84. 

Those two and a half years can amount to a lot more living expenses. 

Plus, by taking time off from the workplace to raise children and care 

for elderly family members, women often end up with lower balances in 

their 401(k)s and IRAs than men. 

So, what can you do to help even the playing field, in terms of building 

adequate resources for retirement? Here are a few suggestions: 

• Contribute as much as possible to your retirement plans. During 

your working years, put in as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or 

similar employer-sponsored retirement plan. Most people don’t come 

anywhere near the 401(k) contribution limit (which, in 2020, is $19,500, 

or $26,000 if you’re 50 or older), and you might not be able to reach 

it, either, but strive to do the best you can. And every time your salary 

increases, bump up your annual contribution. If you are able to “max 

out” on your 401(k), you may still be able to contribute to an IRA. If your 

income exceeds certain limits, you can’t contribute to a Roth IRA, which 

Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe 

Chuck.O’Keefe@edwardjones.com 

offers tax-free withdrawals of earnings if you meet certain conditions, 

but you may still be able to fund a traditional IRA, although the tax deductibility 

may be reduced or eliminated. 

• Use Social Security wisely. You can start taking Social Security as 

early as 62, but your checks can be larger if you wait until your full retirement 

age, which will likely be between 66 and 67. And if you’re married, 

you may be able to choose between claiming your own benefits or 

receiving 50% of your spouse’s benefits, which could help you if your 

spouse has considerably higher earnings. (Your spouse does not lose 

any benefits if you choose this route.) 

• Look for every opportunity to save and invest. As mentioned above, 

women often lose out on some retirement savings when they take 

time away from the workforce to raise families and eventually become 

caregivers for elderly parents. But even if you aren’t working full time, it 

doesn’t mean you have no chance to boost your retirement savings. If 

you can do any paid work, whether it’s part time or as a consultant, you 

can contribute to an IRA – and you should. 

It’s not easy to overcome the structural disadvantages women face 

when seeking to reach financial security. Taking advantage of the savings 

and investment possibilities available can help you make progress 

toward your goals.

Orthodox Christianity 

Lent is Eden Again 

by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd 

Lent has begun, and for many Christians this involves making 

a few choices. Some people give up chocolate for Lent, others 

beer and spirits. Some more serious folk turn of the TV for 

the duration. 

As well-meaning as “giving up something for Lent” is, in Eastern 

Orthodoxy, the difference is pretty stark. The Orthodox emphasis 

for the “Great Fast” is not try to “take away” a pleasure or 

something enjoyed. 

Instead, Orthodox Christians try to actually go back in time 

during the 40 day season before Easter. They travel a mystical 

path back to the Garden of Eden before the falling darkness of 

human participation in death. 

Before that point, when the immature young couple fell for the 

serpent’s con game, there was only complete and peaceful relationship 

in Eden. Nothing was hidden. Everything and everyone 

was seen for what it was, beautifully meaningful. There was no 

domination. There was no violence. There was only wonder at 

just being alive, and joy in meeting fellow creatures and recognizing 

the artistic grandeur of the Creator. 

And there was that complete, open fellowship with the Creator, 

Who came at dusk, at the cool of the day, to walk with His highest 

creations. Well, of course, all that was thrown into confusion 

and darkness at the Fall. 

But Eden wasn’t ruined. Mystically, it’s been always there. And 

those flaming swords of the cherubim that kept Adam and Eve 

in the chaotic earth of hard work, alienation, and distant relationships? 

From the earliest ages of the Church, Orthodoxy has said 

that when Jesus died on the Cross and vanquished death in 

the Resurrection, Eden was opened again. For real. No more 

cherubim as border guards. No more flaming swords. 

The beautiful calling of Lent is for everyone to get back to the 

mystical Eden. We pray much more often, and we pray deeply. 

We do our best to open our hearts to God directly, just as Adam 

and Eve were naked before Him. We enter into the simple diet 

of Eden, eating of fruits and grains of the Garden, cool water 

from the River of Life. 

That diet is mistakenly called a “fast.” It is not. And it is never 

ever seen as self-punishment. It is a re-entry into the lifestyle of 

Eden.

age. We reject the notion of Madison Avenue that a thing is 

valued by its psychological message -- so an apple is a beautiful, 

magical apple, not a commodity … a car is a means of 

conveyance, not a status symbol … friends and family and pets 

are the most beautiful gifts, not liabilities … a bountiful harvest 

is always a miraculous sign of divine friendship, never a mere 

business plan … 

The mystical Garden of Eden Again is the place where the Resurrection 

can be seen and known as certainty. And until then, 

Lent is the lifestyle of Eden. It is a sweet, poignant breeze that 

calls every human soul to be simple, free, to be human again.

…. And Violets are Blue 

Violet Jelly Recipe 


NATURE 11 

by: Coy Domecq 

vortexehs@outlook.com 

It is well known in the restaurant business that you 

do not sell the steak, you sell the sizzle. Visual appeal, 

along with other senses, is incredibly important 

when enticing interest in food. One springtime visual 

that should not be difficult to find is the common blue 

violet (Viola sororia) native throughout North Carolina. 

This low growing plant, known by many other regional 

common names, blooms in the spring and adds color to 

what sometimes would be known as a green-grassed 

lawn. This is a tenacious plant and will not go away 

if blatantly ignored or sneered at. The violet grows in 

wooded areas, meadows and, of course, lawns thriving 

in full sun, dappled light and shaded areas. It tolerates 

wet clay soil so adapts well to local conditions. 

The flowers are often used to adorn salads and for garnishes, 

jams, jellies and candy. The colorful flowers are 

sometimes crushed and used to add tint to sugar. It is 

the original food coloring. The leaves, stems, tubers and 

roots can be eaten also. Violet leaves have high levels 

of vitamins A and C. The tubers are used to thicken 

soups. 

The Cherokee used the violet to treat common cold 

symptoms and headaches. The medical reference, 

“Medical Flora” circa 1830, listed Viola sororia useful in 

the treatment of coughs, sore throats and constipation. 

Actually, violets are also purple, but that doesn’t rhyme 

very well.

INSPIRATION 

Prevent Blindness Declares March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month 

to Educate on Ways to Protect Vision on the Job 

CHICAGO (Feb. 27, 2017) – Prevent Blindness, the nation’s 

oldest volunteer eye health and safety group, has 

declared March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month to 

provide employers and employees with free information 

on the dangers of blue light, digital 

devices and vision, and eye injury prevention in order to 

promote eye health at work. 

The largest source of blue light is sunlight. However, 

there is concern over the long-term effects of screen 

exposure (from television screens, computer monitors, 

smart phones, and tablet screens) because of the close 

proximity of the screens and the length of time 

spent looking at them, such as during the workday combined 

with leisure time. Early research shows that too 

much exposure to blue light could lead to: 

- Digital eyestrain: Fatigue, dry eyes, bad lighting, or how 

one sits in front of the computer can cause eyestrain. 

Symptoms of eyestrain include sore or irritated eyes and 

difficulty focusing. 

- Retina damage: Studies suggest that continued exposure 

to blue light over time could lead to damaged retinal 

cells. This can cause vision problems such as agerelated 

macular degeneration or cataract. 

According to a recent report from The Vision Council, 

“Blue Light Exposure and Digital Eye Strain,” 87 percent 

of survey respondents use digital devices more than two 

hours per day and over 52 percent regularly use two 

digital devices simultaneously. 

Once again, Prevent Blindness is partnering with Healthe 

and its EyeSafe® technologies. Healthe will donate a 

portion of the sales of its EyeSafe products, 

including protective covers for digital phones, tablets and 

computer monitors that reduce exposure to harmful digital 

UV and High-Energy Visible (HEV) blue light emitted 

from such devices, to Prevent Blindness in support of its 

children’s eye health programs and 

resources. 

“As we spend more and more time on digital devices, 

at work or at play, we need to make sure we take care 

of our vision,” said Hugh R. Parry, president and CEO 

of Prevent Blindness. “By talking to an eye care professional 

and getting the proper recommendations, we can 

make sure we protect our eyes for the future.” 

To help prevent an eye injury at work, Prevent Blindness 

recommends: 

- Know the eye safety dangers at work-complete an eye 

hazard assessment 

- Eliminate hazards before starting work. Use machine 

guarding, work screens, or other engineering controls) 

- Use proper eye protection such as non-prescription and 

prescription safety glasses, goggles, face shields, welding 

helmets, or full-face respirators. 

Prevent Blindness also offers a Work Safety module as 

part of its free program, the Healthy Eyes Educational 

Series. Each module in the series includes a Presentation 

Guide and corresponding PowerPoint presentation 

on a relevant eye health topic such 

as adult eye disorders, eye anatomy, healthy living, low 

vision and various safety topics. Fact sheets can be 

downloaded at any time from the Prevent Blindness website 

for use as handouts to accompany the presentation. 

To find out more about workplace eye health topics, 

please call Prevent Blindness at (800) 331-2020 or visit 

preventblindness.org.

The Anti-Capitalists Are (Still) Wrong about History—and Much More 

by: Brooke Medina and Doug McCullough 

Capitalism has become the preferred whipping boy 

of those calling for more government involvement in 

markets. The statists love to begrudge it and the wealthy 

wokes love to downplay it. Whether it’s income inequality 

or the growing power of big tech, “late capitalism” is a term 

employed by those who would like to eliminate or greatly 

reduce private ownership and usher in an era of redistribution. 

But is capitalism really in its final gasps? And if so, where 

are we headed? 

The notion of late capitalism has been around since Karl 

Marx began his assault on free enterprise in the 19th 

century, although the term was officially coined by German 

economist Werner Sombart in his 1902 book Der 

Moderne Kapitalismus. Marx believed that the proletariat 

would eventually revolt against the bourgeoisie due to the 

angst created by inequality and exploitation. For him, one 

of the most egregious injustices was wealth inequality. He 

believed private property was a major driver of inequality, 

effectively insulating the wealthy from giving workers their 

fair share. 

Sound familiar? Senator Sanders has an entire policy trove 

of bad ideas built on the premise that wealthy Americans 

have exploited workers by weaponizing their possessions 

(property) for their own malignant greed. 

Those suggesting capitalism is in its final throes assume 

two things: 

Economic inequality equals injustice 

The existence of economic inequality means that capitalism 

must be replaced 

A Tale of Two Inequalities 

Unemployment in the United States is currently at the 

lowest level it has been since the 1960s. Not only is the 

economy creating more jobs, but wages are growing. And 

consider this: “wages for the bottom third of workers have 

risen at a 4.1 percent annual pace over the past two years 

versus 3.3 percent for the middle third and 3.6 percent for 

those at the top.” 

Workers are in such demand, especially in industries like 

healthcare and education, that an increasing number of 

companies are offering incentive packages to defray the 

cost of moving to a new job. When we consider the income 

mobility of Americans, with 95 percent of those at the bottom 

20 percent not being there in 15 years, it becomes 

clear that wealth is transient in a market economy, providing 

a pathway for many to pursue the American Dream. 

It’s important to note that regulatory and tax reform play 

a role in reducing wealth inequality. To be sure, nothing 

will create absolute wealth parity in a free market (nor 

should it), but the effects of deregulation and tax reform 

are instructive. Economist Michael Strain notes that from 

the start of the Great Recession until 2016, “inequality 

decreased by 7 percent” after accounting for taxes and 

transfers. 

As the government’s demands on business and personal 

wealth are reduced, employers feel more comfortable 

investing in expansion, leading to more jobs that in turn 

create a demand for additional labor. This makes workers 

more attractive to prospective employers, bolstering job 

seekers with a competitive environment that enables them 

to be choosier employees. 

Despite the free-market’s ability to create a more level 

playing field, however, some types of inequality will continue 

to exist. Economist Thomas Sowell notes that there are 

many contributors to inequality, saying, “there was never 

a reason to expect equality. [There are so] many different 

complicating factors, cultures matter, demographics matter, 

regions matter.” 

For example, the average life expectancy of a man that 

lives in the mountains is a decade less than one that lives 

in the Virginia suburbs. Inequality is even evidenced in 

seemingly superficial matters, such as physical attractiveness, 

athletic aptitude, and musical ability. Not everyone 

can play like Patrick Mahomes or sing like Adele. 

The Justice of Capitalism 

There are few things more professionally distressing than 

seeing your hard work and earnest efforts thwarted by a 

system designed to quash competition. Unfortunately, this 

is the type of approach many protectionists on both the left 

and right take when it comes to economic policy. Through 

onerous regulation, occupational licensing restrictions, 

minimum wage laws, price controls, tariffs, and more, it can 

feel like the deck is stacked against you. 

By contrast, free enterprise is liberating and creates opportunity. 

The spread of capitalism and the promotion of free 

markets has led to a substantial decline in extreme poverty. 

In the 1980s, approximately 40 percent of the world’s 

population lived in extreme poverty. Today, that figure is 8.6 

percent. 

Even authoritarian regimes, like China, recognize the 

importance of limiting government intrusion in markets if 

they hope to be competitive in an increasingly globalized 

economy. 

Capitalism has proven to be the best vehicle for economic 

justice for the marginalized and impoverished. Why would 

anyone want to deprive the poor of the mobility free enterprise 

affords? 

Capitalism Today, Capitalism Tomorrow, Capitalism Forever? 

If we look to public trust as an indication of capitalism’s 

viability, look no further than business, which holds “a massive 

54-point edge over government as an institution that 

is good at what it does,” according to the Edelman Trust 

Barometer. It’s also worth noting that US economic confidence 

is the highest it has been in nearly 20 years. 

No, capitalism doesn’t appear to be going anywhere 

anytime soon. Instead of statists thumbing their noses 

at capitalism–oftentimes suggesting governments intervene–they’d 

be wise to exhibit a little intellectual humility 

and take a lesson from the efficiency and dynamism of the 

private sector. 


Reprinted with permission from fee.org 

The data is indisputable. Capitalism has been the primary 

driver of economic flourishing and innovation for nearly 

three hundred years, catapulting individuals, societies, and 

nations into levels of prosperity that were previously unfathomable. 

Capitalism respects the agency of people and 

communities, recognizing that they should be able to freely 

associate and trade as they see fit. Free market capitalism 

honors the natural right to private property. 

But, even beyond these principles and big ideas, the 

practical matter is that so long as humans value prosperity, 

opportunity and innovation, capitalism won’t fade away. 

Free enterprise offers technological innovation that make 

products smarter, lighter, cheaper, and use less material. 

Capitalism creates, socialism destroys. 

ECONOMICS 13 

Moving from free market capitalism toward a command 

economy is neither moral nor responsible. So long as free 

people choose action over apathy and liberty over serfdom, 

capitalism will continue to offer individuals the opportunity 

to pursue the American Dream.

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: I work with patients who get prescriptions 

legally, but I want to know more about what is happening 

with Opioids. Please help. Nurse Jane. 

Dear Nurse Jane: Yes, we have addressed this before, 

but the deaths and drug cost are of such importance let 

us comment. Journalist’s Resources at Harvard University 

cites research showing a massive amount of blame 

involves the professionals involved. It is not all research 

cost. Yale reports over 70,000 drug overdose deaths in 

the U.S. in 2018. About one-hundred thirty people die per 

day from an opioid-related drug overdose. 

Dear Dr. Crime: You have helped old people before, 

so please help me. My granddaddy, who is very old, is 

a victim of abuse by his caretakers, who are not family 

members. I have not seen it happen and granddaddy 

won’t talk to me about it. What do I do? Angel 

Dear Angel: If he is in danger now, go directly to the 

police and tell them all you know. If you have some time, 

talk to Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1115 or https://eldercare.acl.gov. 

Keep good records of what you see. For 

more details of how to watch for abuse go to your public 

library and borrow Vol. 38, #3, March 2020 of Mayo Clinic 

Health Letter. Of great importance, talk with your pastor. 

God bless you, Angel. 

Dear Dr. Crime. I want to brag to you that I outsmarted 

my daughter’s boyfriend who has stolen a bunch of stuff 

from us. I am afraid to confront him, so I got my valuables 

safely in my bank’s safe-deposit box. Ha Ha Ha. Older 

Widow. 

Dear Madam: Good move, but there is more you should 

do. Bottom Line Personal, Vol. 40 #21, Nov. 2019 reports 

that safe deposit box loses are not unusual, for several 

reasons. They urge box users get the Safe-Deposit Box 

insurance and check the box at least once a year. Make 

sure your trusted family members know of the box. 

Dear Dr. Crime: I use email a lot. How do I protect 

myself from the many crooks out there on the internet? 

Business Man. 

Dear Man: Your problem is shared by many people. 

Check with your community college and see if they have 

a course around computer & internet safety. Also search 

the net for such training. You can get a one-time use, disposable 

email address at MailDrop.cc. A column in The 

Virginian-Pilot (2/2/20, page4) titled “Thwarting identity 

thieves” by Elliot Raphaelson is superb. See that first. 

Let me know how it goes. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Are our public schools helping to hold 

down delinquency? Mrs. S. 

Dear Ms. S. : The American Journal of Criminal Justice, 

Vol.44 #5, 10/19 reports on good research on the effects 

of the State ban on guns with kids 18 to 20, compared 

with a similar Federal 1968 ban on similar kids. They 

looked at murder, robbery and assault and found no 

impact. That journal reported research comparing “get 

tough and punish” school policies with “support” programs 

aimed at reasons why the kids got in trouble. Both 

worked and the final idea is to use them at the same time, 

together. But we know little about linking such programs. 

To answer your question, yes, many public schools have 

programs in place to reduce “problems”, but we need 

more research to show us how to run the programs.

Are there any new readers out there? In an age 

of digital everything where we can download 

games and movies to our computers and phones, do 

we even need books anymore? 

When I was a child back in the days before computers, 

somewhere between when the dinosaurs 

walked the earth and the first moon landing, we had 

only three channels on television, and were lucky to 

be able to get two stations on the radio. Books were 

my friends. They still are. 

As a writer, I hope there is a new generation of 

books lovers lurking around in the ether. Whether 

you download eBooks to a digital book reader, listen 

to audiobooks or read real paper books, reading is a 

luxury for the soul. For a child, reading is the foundation 

for all other education. Books are the door to 

great adventures, the windows into another world, 

and the mirror in which we see ourselves. Reading 

helps a child decipher the world around them and 

gives them inspiration for what is yet known. For an 

adult, being a reader allows them to self-educate, 

entertain, resolve problems and understand others. 

FOR THE LOVE OF BOOKS 

Are There Any New Readers Out There? 

Books can offer a key to empathizing with people 

who are different than ourselves. 

I hope to share with readers my love of books, writing 

and writers as we adventure together, “For the 

Love of Books.”

16 BOW HUNTING 

Bowhunter Gifts 

North Carolina Bow Hunters Association 

hope everyone had an interesting and successful small game 

I season. We are now in the process of winding down from the 

major part of our hunting seasons, but fear not, we still have one 

more big game season ahead... Spring Gobbler season!! If you have 

never heard a gobbler come down from the roost in the morning 

looking for hens you are missing out on an awesome spring ritual. 

To hear that majestic bird sing out in the morning woods is a marvelous 

joy. It conjures hopes of a big bird to come into bow range, tests 

your patience, and excites the blood. It gets those excited feelings 

flowing and the synapses firing in your brains . What a feeling it is!! 

Hopefully you will be out scouting this month for good turkey 

habitat or perhaps you already have a good place to go. Keep tabs 

on those birds. What can we do to prepare for the spring turkey 

season? 

▪ Proper scouting to find where the turkeys are roosting 

▪ Check out the feeding and strutting areas 

▪ Practice your calling and note the different types of calls you can 

make to entice a nice gobbler 

▪ Are you using a decoy ? Practice setting it up. 

▪ If not a decoy create some gobbler and Jake sized targets for 

practice, this is easily done. One simply needs an oold plastic oone 

galloon jug ,paint it black and fill with sand, ( this gives the ikkusion 

of a full strut Tom). If you take a two liter soda bottle, paint it black 

and fill with sand, you now have a Jake sized target. 

▪ Practice your shooting techniques, sitting, standing, or kneeling. 

Speaking of calling … what type of call do you use? There are 

several types. Some people use a wing-bone caller. Made from 

the wing bones of a turkey. I have made several from some of my 

“thanksgiving and Christmas” guests. But you can also buy an “air” 

caller. I also use an old base to a ball-point pen, but thats working 

on the cheap side! Another type of call is a diaphragm call, a type of 

mouth call. This call requires diligent practice on the part of the caller 

but many different turkey sounds can be made on it. A box call is 

by: Talmage Dunn 

one of the most common calls that can be used. It is simply what its 

name implies, a box with a scraper that creates a resonance sound. 

They have been used for years and are quite effective. Lastly, there 

are “slate” calls. These calls require the use of a stylus and a slate 

or glass to scrape the stylus across to create the desired sound. I 

cannot tell you how important it is to practice these calls. There are 

several places to go to learn the types of calls to make. By far the 

best way is to get with an experienced turkey hunter and have him/ 

her teach you. Of course, there is always the internet and various 

sites to learn what sound resonates the most in the woods. These 

are much cheaper if you are on a budget and easier to make. 

Remember bow fishing season is around the corner check out your 

equipment !

HEALTH 

What’s in your diet? 

Last month, just before my deadline, this coronavirus 

thing exploded. Its being described as epidemic, I 

thinks it’s already pandemic. The seven to fourteen day 

gestation is frightening. It could be a couple of weeks 

before you get a symptom. How many people will be exposed 

in 14 days? 

Much of our food is imported from the region of ground 

zero. They are a major contributor to the domestic food 

chain. I wonder how much food was handled before the 

virus identified as a problem? 

In 2015 the U.S. House of Representatives passed laws 

rescinding “Country of Origin”, labeling requirements on 

meat and poultry. That’s a red flag. 

This column is about illuminating substances in the food 

chain that are detrimental to my cancer survivor colleagues, 

and everybody else. Environmental conditions 

are requiring more diligence,. It’s like antibiotics, herbicides 

and pesticides, arsenic,sewage sludge and other 

such toxic substances, added to our food chain, isn’t 

enough. Again a red flag. 

Our government’s position is, go organic. The cost of an 

organic based diet is probably out of reach of the most 

vulnerable group of the population. The amount of food 

deserts throughout the country suggest that many of the 

most vulnerable are not getting basic nutrients . Organic 

products are only about 20% of the country’s food chain. 

So, 80% is not organic. If you’re not eating organic, 

chances are you have a weakened system. You won’t 

know it’s compromised or weakened until you’ve been 

exposed. Not good. 

So, what’s the answer? I don’t believe healthcare should 

be part of a free market. I think our current system is an

administrative nightmare. 

Ninety percent of healthcare practitioners have clients in 

the government single payer system including: The Veteran’s 

Administration, Tri-Care, Medicare, Medicaid, and 

CHIPS (Children’s health insurance program). Medicare 

becomes your primary provider at age 65. 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), 

administrative infrastructure, is already in place. CHIPS 

belongs in (CMS) because its a natural fit and usually associated 

with Medicaid. 

I’d lower the age requirements in 5 year intervals, until 

there’s complete coverage. After full coverage is achieved 

I’d transition the VA and Tri-Care into CMS .This could 

probably be achieved with the least amount of political 

drama, trauma and cost. 

. 

I hope your diet optimizing went well, and you were able 

to eliminate some of the toxic substances you’ve been 

ingesting. If it wasn’t for bacon, and fish I’d be able to 

go all plant based. I was very successful in my efforts to 

remove refined carbs. Breads are no longer a staple in my 

household ( unless I make it). Sugar is no longer on our 

shopping list, and I no longer consume any beverage or 

condiment such as catsup with HFCU ( high fructose corn 

syrup). I just can’t get rid of bacon. Fish will remain in my 

diet. I’m a failure at my attempts to be Vegan. 

It looks like the FDA is scrutinizing Jimmy John’s for 

frequent E-Coli, and salmonella violations throughout 

their 17 state system. No mention of the supplier.,or the 

grower? Kind of curious. I’ve got ideas, stay tuned. 

Food is medicine.. 

2020 Is A Year for Savings - 8 in 10 

People Plan to Save More 

(NewsUSA) - Most Americans don’t have $400 

saved to cover for an unexpected emergency, but a recent 

poll from Chase found that consumers may 

be ready to change that this year. 80 percent plan to save 

more and 51 percent say emergency 

savings is their goal. 

Savings is key to financial health and Chase Financial Education 

Ambassador Farnoosh 

Torabi has tips and advice on how to get started and make 

savings a habit. (watch 

video) 

According to Torabi, increasing savings is key to stability 

and gives people the 

ability to quickly recover when there are ups and downs. 

Chase is focused on helping encourage the habit of savings 

and support people by 

providing information and resources that can help customers 

on their savings journey. 

Take a first step by understanding your expenses and building 

a budget. Budget Builder is a great tool from Chase to 

help you monitor your monthly spending and saving. 

Once you have this baseline, the key to reaching your 

goals is to just start saving, 

even if you’re starting small. "My advice is to 

automate," says Torabi. "There is a 

great feature through the Chase App called Autosave which 

allows you to 

decide on your own how much you want to save and how 

frequently you want to save, so you can feel 

in control of this. The good news is the technology does the 

savings for you." With this 

feature, you can save as little as $1 a day. 

While consistency is key, savings is about what works for 

you. In a month when you have 

extra cash, you can always accelerate your savings, but in 

a tighter month, it’s all right to take 

a pause or draw from your savings to cover an unexpected 

expense.

information and tips on how to make savings work for you.

Are You Looking for 

a Way In or a Way Out? 

Anyone who starts the conversation with “I can’t” “I don’t” 

or “I won’t” isn’t ready and the conversation is over. 

This is what I tell our instructors because you’re either looking 

for a way in or a way out. 

Here’s a little secret… 

“Life Is Designed To Tell You NO.” 

No – you can’t be in shape. 

No – you can’t be wealthy. 

No – you can’t have success. 

No – you can’t be happy. 

No – you can’t learn self defense. 

Like the saying goes…if it were easy, everyone would do it. 

When you hear those words you’re witnessing a conflict of 

someone who KNOWS they should do it but are too lazy to 

actually do it. So they put the reason for the failure on the 

situation and that makes them feel better. Truth be told, even 

if you were willing to go to their house and train them for 

free…they still wouldn’t do it. 

Everyone is too busy, too broke, too old, too out of shape — 

EVERYONE. 

“There Are A Million Excuses Not To Do 

Something, 

But Only One Reason To Do Something.” 

Do you think my life and my career in self defense was 

perfect… 

I blew out my knee my senior year in high school football 

during the state championship game. Missing my senior year 

of wrestling (and a possible NJ State Championship) plus 

any chance of an athletic scholarship. 

I had a falling out with my TKD instructor and was asked to 

leave the Dojang after 9 years of training and teaching. 

I used to drive 2 hours a few times a month to meet with my 

combatives instructor over the course of several years… 

who had poor health and wasn’t exactly reliable. Many times 

I drove down there he wasn’t there…even after we made 

plans. 

During this time my father died suddenly at the age of 66 

and I had to step in and help fix the business with my uncle. 

When I was training in Judo – I would drive the same distance…2 

to 3 times a week…while I was working a full time 

job, running a dojo and starting a family. 

In October 2007 my former partner and student decided to 

end our business relationship and attempted to destroy my 

reputation and sell millions of dollars worth of my videos. 

I went from earning 25K per month to 1K per month and 

with a new mortgage and two young kids. My wife and I 

launched the Self Defense Company and started creating 

the content. We also engaged in a 6 year lawsuit across 

that went across several states and ultimately ended in our 

victory. 

Oh and along the way my wife and I lost a baby, I had cancer, 

lost a fortune (3X over) and had to rebuild my life just as 

many. Perfect? Far from it. 

The struggle is REAL and it’s every day. Many people have 

come and gone over the last decade and a half…and we’re 

still rolling. 


DEFENSE 19 

Here’s another little secret… 

“If You Want Something Other People Don’t 

Have, 

You Must Be Willing To Do Something Other 

People Won’t Do.” 

This is why our conversation ends when I hear those words 

– “I can’t” “I don’t” or “I won’t”. We’re done because you are 

not ready. If you were serious…YOU WOULD TRY. It’s really 

that simple. 

Look, if you don’t even try…I mean really try…how the heck 

are you going to defend yourself against someone who is 

dangerous, determined and able…? 

This isn’t just about self defense, its about everything. Nothing 

is perfect and nothing goes to plan. Life is always telling 

you NO and most people accept that answer. That’s why 

there are “Haves” and “Have Nots”. 

But life also gives you clues and a path forward, you just 

need to pay attention and look at every setback as a step 

forward. It took Edison 1,000 attempts to invent the lightbulb. 

Is that 1,000 failures…or 1,000 steps to get it right? It all 

depends on how you look at it. 

To get something, you need to do something. It’s never perfect…NEVER 

perfect. You will never have enough time, you 

will never have enough money, you will never be in shape – 

but you don’t need all that. 

You just need to make a decision – This is what I want and 

I’m going to make it work no matter what. 

There will be set backs, there will be failure. Everyone has 

problems, everyone has challenges…everyone shares the 

same cloudy sky. Most people accept defeat while a few of 

us find a way. 

So the next time someone says those words, be polite – but 

end the conversation there… 

“Thanks for your time, but you’re not ready. Stay safe.”
