The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
The Count of Monte Cristo (French:
Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an
adventure novel by French author
Alexandre Dumas (père) completed
in 1844. It is one of the author’s
most popular works, along with The
Three Musketeers. Like many of his
novels, it was expanded from plot
outlines suggested by his collaborating
ghostwriter Auguste Maquet.
Another important work by Dumas,
written prior to his work with Maquet
was the short novel “Georges”,
this novel is of particular interest to
scholars because Dumas reused
many of the ideas and plot devices
later in “The Count of Monte Cristo”.
The story takes place in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean
during the historical events of 1815–1839: the era of the
Bourbon Restoration through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France. It
begins just before the Hundred Days period (when Napoleon returned
to power after his exile). The historical setting is a fundamental element
of the book, an adventure story primarily concerned with themes
of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness. It centers on
a man who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, acquires a
fortune, and sets about exacting revenge on those responsible for
his imprisonment. His plans have devastating consequences for both
the innocent and the guilty. The book is a story of romance, loyalty,
betrayal, vengeance, selfishness, and justice.

Catfish Hunter
by Colleen Brown
Everyone is familiar with Jim “Catfi sh” Hunter, legendary
baseball pitcher for the Oakland Athletics and the
New York Yankees, who grew up in Perquimans County
and returned there to work his father’s farm when
he retired from baseball. And, tragically, passed away
from complications associated with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s
disease) just at the end of the last century. I’m sure
that many reading this watched Catfi sh pitch, got a
baseball signed, were coached by him in Little League
or met him in Woodard’s Pharmacy on Church Street
in Hertford. Some may have even visited the Jim
“Catfi sh” Hunter museum on Market Street in Hertford
– if you haven’t, you should, it’s pretty cool.
But what you may not know is that there is a Foundation
in Mr. Hunter’s name dedicated to raising both
awareness of the disease that took his life, and funds
to promote research for a cure. The Jim “Catfi sh”
Hunter ALS Foundation, on the web at http://www.
catfi shfoundation.org, provides information about the
disease and how the foundation is working to combat
it. It also sponsors a softball tournament and an ALS
walk on the last weekend in September, as a memorial
and tribute to the great baseball player, as a fund
raiser for the foundation, and as a way to bring the
community together. The tournament usually has a
festival atmosphere, including food for sale, a raffl e or
silent auction, community sponsors, and prize giving.
The Walk often begins with a biscuit breakfast and
ends with laying fl owers on Jim Hunter’s grave.
This year, the North Carolina Lions Club chose to
remember Jim Hunter as a notable North Carolinian
by dedicating a lapel pin to him. Each year, the Lions
Club creates a lapel pin for its members and the public
to buy, trade and collect. This year, the pin recognizes
Perquimans’ baseball hero. Leaders from the Lions
Club came to Hertford, to the museum to present a
copy of the pin to Mrs. Helen Hunter and to speak
about the admiration and affection that North Carolina
still holds for its legendary pitcher.

Health and Nutrition Strategies For
Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else
Warren Green is a 30 year member of the Institute of Food
Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point)
Instructor with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition Science.
Warren Green can be reached
at warreng9241@hotmail.com
WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET?
Thanks for the birthday greetings. Birthdays are an
excellent time to take inventory of your nutrition/health
strategies, and make adjustments. Along those lines, I
read an interesting article that talked about what is described
as the brain-gut connection. The study suggests
that your gut infl uences moods and therefore mental
health.
Moving on, as my readers are aware, my mantra is “Let
food be your medicine”. I adamantly believe that if you
fi x the food you fi x your health disparities. Particularly
chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension,
and obesity, IBS, and gastric intestinal cancer and now
we can include mental health, all caused by a poor diet
resulting from poor quality, or fake food. Fake food use
is a lot more insidious because of the brain-gut connection.
We’ll update that connection as more info is
released.
I perused a lot of press releases, and newspaper articles
while researching for the column. These caught my
attention: The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has approved
Amazon’s 13 billion dollar acquisition of “Whole
Foods”. That’s a huge “clean food” statement. Another
group represented by Cargil, Inc., Bill Gates, and others
are focusing on organic enterprises. That deserves attention,
organic agriculture is where the money is going
and that makes all the sense in the world.
That segues into a Food Lion ad, touting the purchase
of some of their produce from local sources. I had to
check it out, so I talked to my local guy to see how it
worked and then went to their website to supplement his
information. It appears that all you have to do is identify
your enterprise, and if you meet their criteria, you get
market prices and that includes organic. A small acreage
farm (1-2) acres and a High Tunnel could easily do
30,000 tons per year.
Recall: Wang Food Group, est. 40200 recalls multiple
products for mislabeling and with an undeclared allergen(milk),
with lot codes dating back to January 2016,
and distributed to major retailers in the Northeast and
Mid Atlantic.
When refueling your body, the question is always what
you want the food to do.
Let food be your medicine.

Adding value to our economy -
Young Plaza Azteca Manager Recalls Humble Beginnings as Restaurant Celebrates 4th Anniversary
By Laura Bush Jenkins
Grueling hours at several high school and college
dish-washing jobs were the start of Junior Gonzalez’s
lifelong passion for the restaurant industry and authentic
Mexican cooking.
close friend Cristian Sanchez moved together and began
working as servers. Gradually, they earned responsibilities
as managers and facilitated the launch of Plaza Azteca in
Elizabeth City 3 years later.
In addition, supporting others in the community is important
at Plaza Azteca. The restaurant offers discounts for fi rst
responders and teachers, and Junior and his staff are available
to volunteer their time in church and school projects.
Born in Northern Chicago, Junior moved back with his
parents to their homeland of Guadalajara, Mexico at three
and returned to the United States at twelve. It was tough
leaving friends behind and starting over in new settings, but
Junior valued experiencing life in both cultures and learning
two languages as he prepared for the future.
Originally, Junior studied another fi eld in college but continued
gravitating toward the culinary world.
“I worked my way up from dishwasher into prep, grill, runner,
and other roles before taking chef classes,” Gonzalez
recalls.
Junior continued honing his craft and learning varied roles
when a friend approached him about an opportunity in
Virginia Beach developing and growing the Plaza Azteca
restaurant chain. Started by two gentleman from Jalisco,
Mexico in the mid-nineties, Plaza Azteca now has 38 East
Coast locations.
With gratitude and a hunger for opportunity, Junior and his
Although it involved moving a signifi cant distance, Junior’s
family supported his ambitions of growing and eventually
leading a successful restaurant. “They saw this as part of
following Mexican culture,” he notes.
Plaza Azteca is known within the culinary community for its
fresh ingredients and authentic Mexican taste. The chef and
sous chef in Elizabeth City are from Puebla and Baja California
respectively, and Plaza Azteca provides them freedom
and creativity to cook in a fl avorful, traditional style.
“The way we used to cook [growing up and experimenting
earlier in our careers], we do it here because we love what
we do,” Junior mentions proudly.
“I don’t keep track mentally of the hours I’m here since I’m
passionate about it.”
Since Junior greatly appreciates the opportunity he
received, he is willing to assist those aspiring to learn the
culinary industry and encourages them to meet and talk
with him.
Come join Plaza Azteca on Family Sundays, where kids
eat for half price and receive special visits twice a month
from Julie the Clown. In addition, look for a new menu in
the next few weeks, featuring old favorites such as Burrito
San Jose, along with
new burrito bowls and
grilled shrimp Tacos
Rebeca with pico de
gallo.

Plaza Azteca, call 252

College of the Albemarle’s Edenton Culinary Program Inspires, Mentors, and Engages the Next Generation
by Laura Bush Jenkins
I
magine you are part of bringing people together, creating
memories, and helping others live healthier lives.
For the past 5 years, chef instructor Leslie Lippincott
equipped students for these roles through hands-on skill
development in the booming culinary arts world.
“I tell everybody I have the best job,” says Lippincott. “My
whole career has driven me to this point. It’s humbling to see
people develop self-confi dence and problem-solving skills.”
Students from as far as the Outer Banks and Hyde County
commute to the small, brick building for an intense year-long
training. At the culinary school, they work in teams to prepare
delicious meals and hone skills, such as the proper use of
equipment and sanitation.
In addition to these responsibilities, you may see COA culinary
students in the community showcasing their work at town
events such as Taste of Edenton, the upcoming 11th Annual
Armchair Traveler Series, and the recent reception for the NC
Supreme Court visit.
Last year, she was stunned when her class unexpectedly
connected with her son on Facebook and generously sent
them on a surprise trip to celebrity chef Thomas Keller’s
French Laundry in Yountville, CA.
Thomas Keller is noted within the culinary industry for his
high standards. “We consider it our professional responsibility
to insure that every [guest] feels special and cared for,”
he mentions on his website in an open letter to guests. “It
is imperative that we improve and evolve every day. We
constantly examine ourselves, our menu, our service, and our
standards.”
Thomas Keller’s TED x Talk, “The Reach of the Restaurant,”
is an often-viewed infl uential resource for students.
Lippincott’s students strongly connect with the generosity
aspects pertaining to food service. COA’s culinary program
annually prepares 500 rolls for the Empty Bowls of the Albemarle
event- in which artisans come together to raise funds
and awareness for hunger issues affecting area families.
What Motivated You to Become
Involved in COA’s Culinary Program?
“I’m homeschooled and always enjoyed cooking and
baking. I figured this was a skill I could use later to help
within my family.” Flora Grimstead.
“I had some exposure to a culinary program previously,
and grew up with my grandma teaching me to cook. I
didn’t know [culinary arts] was offered here until I registered
for classes. Now, I’ve found like-minded people
who share the same passion.” Jessica Bond.
“It took me five years after high school to fi gure out
what I wanted to do. What inspired me was my four
year-old son and late aunt who cooked all the time for
my family. They’ve kept me going and I aim to carry on
the family legacy.” Erica Gregory.
According to Lippincott, many students express ambitions to
own a restaurant or catering operation. In addition, immediate
opportunities as personal chefs and shoppers, cruise
ship kitchen staff, and dietitians exist upon completion of COA
curriculum.
To learn more about COA’s culinary program and connect
with like-minded peers with a passion for cooking and food
service, contact Chef Lippincott at leslie_lippincott@albemarle.edu
or call 252 482 7900 x6017.
Before moving to Edenton, Lippincott owned a brick and
mortar restaurant in Rhode Island and previously owned a
local catering business. She sees the culinary department
and her students “like a family.”

The Rise of Intelligent Virtual Personal Assistants
by Patricia Laddich - 20 something Tech Gurl
In recent years, there has been a paradigm change in how we
interact with computers. Right now, we are entering an era of
Intelligent Assistants driven by advancements in machine learning,
natural language processing, and sophisticated voice recognition.
Advanced voice recognition technology will soon be global
and effortlessly integrated into our daily life. It will be a primary
interface for the connected home, providing a natural means to
communicate with lights, alarm systems, sound systems, kitchen
appliances and a lot more, as users go about their daily activities.
What are Intelligent Assistants (IAs)?
Intelligent assistant is simply a software agent that can perform
services or tasks for an individual. IAs are “task-oriented,” this
feature differentiates it from another type of consumer-facing AI
programming called smart advisors – which are “subject-oriented.”
Intelligent Assistants are programmed with more advanced
cognitive computer technologies, artifi cial intelligence, and voice
recognition technology to decipher data input and become more
adept at predicting the end user’s needs. The advancement in
technology also allows IA to understand and execute multi-step
requests and carry out more complex tasks such as booking a
fl ight ticket or making a hotel reservation.
Most tech companies are already investing millions of dollars
in the Intelligent Assistance space. In fact, there are previewed
prototypes of automated personal assistants. In 2016, Robotbase
a New York City-based tech company unveiled a bot prototype
that can manage social calendars, turnout lights, and even read
bedtime stories to kids. GoButler also recently replaced human
employees with algorithm-driven bots. Google, Amazon, Apple,

Since 1983
and Microsoft already have their variations, and these
giant multi-corporations will likely be the key players designing
these more advanced robotic assistants. Consider
some examples of IA in production:
-- Apple’s Siri (Speech Interpretation and Recognition
Interface) allows its users to make appointments, book
tables at restaurants, make posts on Facebook, play podcasts,
and make appointments for you.
-- Alexa, the IA for Amazon’s Echo, can read e-books
aloud, play music, shop for groceries, order pizza, call
Uber, and perform several other tasks.
-- Google’s Home can make hotel reservations, play
music, tell users about traffi c and weather conditions and
manage the calendar.
-- Facebook’s message-based “M” can give recommendations
about the latest fashion trends, clothing stores
and share all this with your friends.
-- China’s Baidu’s Duer is a voice-activated assistant
that can book fl ight tickets, make online purchases, buy
movie tickets, and make café reservations among several
other options.
These IAs are already on our mobile devices, cars and
will soon be on the walls of our homes. They have been
programmed to make our lives much easier and help us
save time. But as humans we will always want more, with
every paradigm shift, humans will always expect more. To
deliver a sophisticated and advanced Intelligence Assistant
paradigm, developers will need to design a universal
I.A. product with the following properties:
1. “ONE” universal assistant that can perform all the
tasks the end users requires.
2. The IA should be personalized for the end users and
should be able to learn about personal preferences like
travel plans, brands, food preferences, etc.
3. The invisible assistant should be available on all
devices the end users interact with.
4. Building intelligent interface for every service including
restaurants, banks, travel booking, cab booking,
grocery shopping, etc. “Ubiquity” and Building Intelligent
Interface to Everything
The Future of Intelligent Assistant
As artifi cial intelligence evolves, the demand for these
bots will increase signifi
cantly. They will likely
perform physical tasks,
help us make meaningful
daily decisions and will
be able to answer more
complicated questions using
algorithms. Over time,
you can expect to see IA
that is truly conversational.
Their understanding will
be enhanced by the ingestion
of personal information
such as an individual’s
emotional state, past
activities, payment preferences,
favorite brands etc.
which informs answers
and assists in completing
tasks.
Of course, it may take a
few more years to get to
that stage, but we’re starting to witness new technologies
almost on a daily basis and their productized prototypes
are on the horizon. So we can be sure that we will eventually
get to a time when IAs will be able to understand what
we say. As we make further advancements in technology
and user adoption, several other uses will emerge for
these intelligent assistants in productivity, commerce,
learning, and transactions. For service providers and developers,
intelligent assistant platforms may serve as the
next major marketplace and channel for providing service,
commerce, and content. Imagine all you will be able to
accomplish if you had a functional and intelligent assistant
that is able to handle your daily tasks. While all this
may sound a bit far-fetched, you can be certain that IAs
will rule the not-too-distant future. Until then, get to know
more about this fascinating world of powerful cognitive
technologies supplementing human capacity. Say hello
to the FUTURE– A new ERA of understanding between
human and machines.

DO’S AND DONT’S FOR BENEFICIARIES By--JIM KAIGHN CLU,CHFC,RHU,AABA BSBA
Something that is overlooked way to much is the tremendous burden
that can be put on a person who is to receive money from a Life
Insurance policy.. It seems so innocuous , no big deal about naming
a person to receive money after a love one dies. Most benefi ciaries
do not even partake in the discussion that their name is putting on the
insurance contract or what it REALLY means!! Most insured people will
name a wife or husband as benefi ciary, to pay off bills like the mortgage
or have enough rent money to last for 10 years, also to replace the
income that the family has just lost.. But, let’s analyze the burden this
puts the receiver of this money in.. Even a simple $25,000 insurance
policy is more money than that person has seen at one time, what
am I suppose to do with it?? NOW , multiply that fi gure to $250,000
or $500,000 or even a $1,000,000..this is like winning a lottery, NOW
WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH ALL THIS MONEY??? Most likely,
they have forgot the reasons their spouse bought the insurance..NOW
they are fair prey to all family members and so-called friends they have
not seen in many years.. FIRST DON’T--tell no one, not even your children
or other family members that you have this large amount of money
coming in,, for there will be a feeding frenzy that makes piranha attacks
look tame.. The family vultures will swoop down on the benefi ciary
asking for money to help poor little Johnny go to college, or little Agnes
needs braces for her teeth, or brother Bubba needs a new motorcycle..
These people, once they know that you have a lot of money , the benefi
ciary will have no money left for it’s original purpose.. FIRST DO-- Be
involved in the process when the insurance is being bought, and have a
written note put inside the policy what this money is for and instructing
the benefi ciary how to use this money and review it every 5 years or
so.. Mortgages are paid down, new children are born..
SECOND DO-- You do not have to receive a large check to put this
problem in motion.. you can have your agent or you can call the company
to set up payment options, like receiving 25% of the up front and
then XX amount of dollars per month for many years to come..SECOND
DON’T--Do not buy life insurance through tv ads , like select quote..
you are not dealing with a reputable person on the other end of the
line, they are just order takers, not someone who can help you in time
of need.. You need someone to be calm
and understand what this insurance was
bought..You can always go to a competent
attorney that you know , but not your second
cousin Walter on your mother’s side..I

SCENE OF A CAR WRECK
by Danny Glover
There are some very important things that you
need to do (and NOT do) immediately at the
scene of the wreck.
First, stay calm and breathe! If you have been
injured, do not move – call 911 (if possible) and
wait for EMS and then go to the hospital. Your
health is more important than anything else. This
is not the time to prove how tough you are. The
human body was not designed to withstand the
various physical forces of a vehicle collision, and
it is important that you get thoroughly checked
out if you are having even the slightest problem.
Remember, oftentimes adrenaline and shock can
immediately hide, or mask, symptoms that you
will defi nitely feel later. Better safe than sorry
in terms of obtaining medical care immediately
following a wreck. If you are not injured, then
you should immediately check on everyone else
involved in the wreck. If anyone else has been
injured, assist them in remaining still until EMS
arrives.
Once all people involved in the wreck are
accounted for and that situation is stable, gather
all of the information you can at the scene (or
have someone else do this for you). Get the
names, addresses, phone numbers and license
plate numbers of any and all witnesses and other
drivers involved in the wreck. Take photographs
of the resting place of the vehicles, damage to the
vehicles, debris fi elds, skid marks and anything
else damaged or affected by the collision. Take
pictures of any sign (or lack of sign), or other
monument, or pothole, or the Sun, or roadway
characteristic contributed that you believe may
have contributed to the wreck. This is probably
left to a friend or family member who comes to the
scene, as you will most likely be dealing with your
injuries or the law enforcement investigator.
Do not move any vehicles until law enforcement
arrives. Oftentimes the resting place of
the vehicles and the location of debris scattered
about the crash scene can be important evidence
in determining who caused the wreck. Once the
crash investigator arrives, he or she will instruct
you when he has gathered enough information
that the vehicles can then be moved.
Do not admit fault. It is easy to be confused
about what actually happened, or what is being
asked of you, in the chaos immediately following
a wreck. If you hit your head on anything during
the collision, this can also cause confusion. Fault
can always be addressed later.
My next article will discuss in details things
that you should do after you leave the scene of
the wreck. Those are, in this order: 1) File all
medical bills with your health insurance company;
2) Speak to an experienced, local injury attorney
if you have been injured; 3) Speak to an experienced,
local traffi c attorney if you were given a
ticket; 4) Report the collision to your automobile
insurance company; 5) Do not speak to the other
driver’s insurance company.
Here’s to hoping that you never need to use this
advice!!

Dear Dr. Crime: If you are right and the cops know who
the really bad crooks are, why not let them know they are
being watched so they will be scared to commit crimes?
I. M. Sage
Dear Wise Old Man: You are right on target in terms of
what criminological theory tells us will control behavior.
“Deterrence Theory” says that if anyone, crook or not,
believes she or he will be likely to be caught and punished
certainly, severely, and swiftly for a behavior, they probably
won’t do it. And research testing that theory supports it.
The idea is applied in police work and coupled with providing
the high risk offenders with educational / employment
resources so that they have hope to succeed as a noncrook.
It works. Of course, wide application of this would
have to deal with social/political issues that might make the
law makers fearful their votes would be in danger, so we
have some work to do.
Dear Dr. Crime: I keep hearing about the drug problem
on TV. Are my kids in school in danger? I am so scared I
panic. Anxious Mom.
Dear Mom: I cannot speak for your kids, but I can say that
if you are panic stricken talk with a therapist. You can get

Form&nolm=1 .
As for the drug use by kids, it is a danger. The teen death
rate by drug overdose rose 19% in one year from 2014
to 2015. That is 3.1 deaths per 100,000 teens to 3.7 per
100,000, involving teens ages 15 to 19. The study was
done by the National Center for Health Statistics.
Dear Dr. Crime: Tells us more about bad girls being different
from bad boys. Strong Man
Dear Big Guy: This is a major topic. For now note that
the University of Exeter found that rather than the sexes
acting differently only because of genetic inheritance,
environment and culture infl uence some behavior traits
between generations. So let’s look at all the things infl u-
encing gender behavior.
Dear Dr. Crime: What is going on with kids and drugs?
Smoker
Dear Smoke: The National Institute of Drug Abuse recently
reported that use of illicit drugs (not including pot) over
the past year continuing to decline to the lowest level in
the history of the survey in all three grades surveyed —5.4
percent among 8th graders, 9.8 percent among 10th graders,
and 14.3 percent among 12th graders. That is great –
a reduction! Pot use is dropping. But there is more scary
research about effects. A survey of over 33000 people,
by St. Luke’s University, found a link between pot use and
heart problems. I suggest you stay away from all of it.
Dear Dr. Crime: You seem to be against pot and I am for
all of it legalized. We will have tax money we don’t get
now and folks, kids included, will stop using alcohol and
robbing stores or beating up their wives. Right?
Pretty Barfly
Dear Miss Barfly:
We sometime treat very complex problems as if the answer
was simple, and that is the case with pot and booze.
Consider that the American Medical Association recently
reported research showing a 49% increase in alcoholism
in the fi rst decade of 2000. 1 in 8 adults in our country
suffers from alcoholism. That is 12.7% of the population.
The Center for Disease Control reports that each year
88,000 deaths occur because of alcohol. They suspect the
cause is an increase in stress and despair.

Chowanoke History
There are several periods throughout
Indian history that have proven to be more
detrimental than others for tribes. One
such period occurred during attempts to
force individualization and assimilation
with the intent to integrate Indians into
mainstream society. However one should
bear in mind that as European settlement
moved westward, those attempts occurred
much later for tribes in the west.
The idea of the disappearing Indian
was a popular notion among European
leaders as they relied on Indians to
voluntarily give up their land to achieve
their goal. In 1789 Secretary of War Knox
stated: “As population shall increase and
approach the Indian boundaries, game
will be diminished and new purchases
may be made for small considerations.
This has been and probably will be the
inevitable consequence of cultivation. It
is, however, painful to consider that all the
Indian tribes, once existing in those states
now best cultivated and most populous,
have become extinct. If the same causes
continue, the effects will happen and, in
a short period the idea of an Indian this
side of the Mississippi will be found only in
the pages of the historian.” Even George
Washington held a similar opinion in 1783
as he stated, “….when the gradual extension
of our Settlements will as certainly
cause the Savage as the Wolf to retire;
both being beasts of prey tho’ they differ
in shape.”
by Duvonya Chavis
While those statements were projected
in a rather presumptuous and calloused
manner, the act of forcing individualism
and assimilation occurred throughout the
United States. It was profoundly demonstrated
in the taking of fee simple lands
that were held communally by the Chowanoke
Indians. This occurred even in the
aftermath of the sale of their reservation.
During the 1780’s, Chowanoke Indians
had purchased 30 acres of land to live on
and by 1810, thirty-four individuals were
known to reside there. However, due to
mishap, 6 acres of land was purchased
by a non-Indian who then wanted the
land divided among the Indians so that
he could secure his parcel. The Chowanoke
did not understand that concept in
the same manner that the purchaser did
not understand the concept of communal
living. By 1821, a series of unfortunate
and devious events caused the entire tract
of land to wind up in the possession of the
non-Indian purchaser. For the first time,
this left the Chowanoke people without the
support that comes from communal living
and with no other choice but to individualize
their existence.
Duvonya, a Chowanoke Indi-
an descendant, is President
of Roanoke-Chowan Native
American Association, a
non-profi t organization whose
mission is to help American
Indians in Northeastern NC
and Southeastern VA. She
currently sits on the council
of the Chowanoke Tribe.
In partnership with another
Chowanoke descendant,
she is currently developing
Chowanoke Reservation for
tribal descendants to gather
and hold cultural events.

Opinion: Stand, don’t kneel for the national anthem.
by Ken Morgan
W
ith all the clamor we are hearing regarding kneeling,
standing, boycotts and so on, should we ask
the question:
Does standing during the national anthem matter?
For me, and I am sure many others, the national anthem
is a matter of pride and standing is demonstrating
respect. We are proud living in a country that has done so
much for the world. No other country has done more for
the human condition than the United States. Yes, standing
during the anthem matters to a lot of Americans.
bumped the player. We all laughed and gave a big cheer.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
This is what the anthem does, it brings us together for a
moment and reminds us how lucky we are to live in this
country.
Why do the anthem protests bother me? Something that
is positive and brings us together as Americans, is now
used by some as a negative to divide us.
I refuse to let that happen.

Every person standing during the anthem can think of
something they don’t like in our country. We all know
America isn’t perfect. It’s why we are constantly trying to
make it better.
The one minute it takes to play the anthem is a time to
give thanks for the positive things. It is a moment to give
thanks for the sacrifi ces others have made and show
gratitude. It brings us together as Americans and should
not be used as an opportunity to advance grievances.
Years ago I attended an event that was using an old
record to play the anthem over a crackly loudspeaker.
Ending the anthem, the record stuck and someone fi nally
Upon hearing the national anthem, I will stand up,
remove my hat I use to cover my old bald head. Give
thanks for those who have sacrifi ced to make our country
a better place. And think positive thoughts about America.
I am sure that there will be many others standing with me
doing the same. There are appropriate times and places
to further agendas. For example, City council meetings,
and the voting booth.
Not during the national anthem.
I never got a formal
education. So my intellect
is my common sense. I
don’t have anything else
going for me. And my
common sense opens the
door to instinct.

Dog Gone Chic Pet Grooming
My name is Tracy Winters. I am the owner of Dog Gone
Chic Pet Grooming here in Camden. I have been publishing
small articles in this magazine for a few months. I was
talking about issues with odors in our companion animals
and how to deal with them. I am taking a break from that
this month to tell you readers a little about myself. I became
a pet groomer because I have had a life-long love and
affection for animals. The opportunity to attend grooming
school presented itself a couple of years ago and I jumped
at the chance. Grooming our companion animals was
appealing to me for several reasons besides just my love
of animals. I thought grooming would be fun. It is. I liked
the skill involved in learning to make our pets look as good
as they can. Grooming animals goes hand in hand with my
core beliefs that animals should be cared for just like our
human children. I want our pets to enjoy the same standard
of living we as humans enjoy. After completing grooming
school, I also learned that grooming animals takes on a
very artistic element in the way of creative grooming. I
really enjoy this aspect of grooming because it allows me
the opportunity to express myself through my grooming and
give my clients something they’ve never seen before. Pet
grooming allows for this freedom where show dog grooming
has to follow particular guidelines. As a pet groomer, I
am also an advocate for them. The voice for the voiceless
so to speak. So if I see something that is contrary to the
welfare of the animal, I say something about it. I do this
not to be mean or condescending to my clients, although I
by: Tracy Winters, Owner/Groomer
have had clients get upset with me over speaking up about
the condition of their pets. I speak up just as I did when I
was a nurse speaking up for my patients who I advocated
for when I witnessed mistreatment of them by doctors,
nursing assistants, or other nurses. I made some of these
people mad. But it was my job to advocate for these patients
and speak up for them when they couldn’t. It is my
job to speak up for our pets as well. There are things that
some pet owners allow to happen to their pets that cause
the pet discomfort or even pain. I don’t believe that people
do this intentionally. I believe these things happen and go
unattended to because the owner doesn’t know how it is
affecting the animal. This is why I speak up. I believe that
most if not all pet owners love their pets. But they need to
be taught and made to understand the issues that can be
detrimental to their pets health and well being.
I love what I do. Nothing, outside of being a ballet dancer,
has brought me as much reward as grooming animals. It
was my desire to bring my knowledge and talent to the
citizens of Camden and the surrounding areas. The fact
that there are a number of people who are out to ruin my
reputation and my business, I hope that others will give
me the chance to prove that I am a competent, excited
groomer. Whether anyone would ever admit it, I treat my
clients with the utmost respect and consideration, not only
because I wouldn’t have much of a business if I didn’t, but
because it’s what each of us deserves. Because I have a
small, private business, I can do for my clients what other

larger groomers cannot or don’t. I recently went to a client’s
home at 10:30 at night to pick up her dog because she had
to leave town on an emergency. No one else did this for
her. I will help my clients as much as I possibly can which I
hope will speak volumes as to the type of business owner I
am; as to the type of person I am.
Sawyers House of Furniture
There are some major changes going on at Sawyer’s
House of Furniture this year, The 30,000-square foot
store has been a fi xture in Elizabeth City for years but
lately, lifelong customers are fi nding it hard to recognize
the place. The store is undergoing a transformation
taking it from a warehouse setting to an artsy, updated
showroom with a distinct rustic modern edge. In
the upcoming weeks, the stores exterior will be getting
a face lift too, capping off phase one of the remodel.
The showroom’s redesign isn’t the only thing new and
exciting happening for the family owned business.
Sawyer’s House of Furniture is making its debut at
this year’s Outer Banks Parade of Homes, October
5th through 8th. It is quite an honor to be the only
Elizabeth City home furnishing store recognized by the
Outer Banks Home Builders Association at this year’s
Parade of Homes. The annual tour provides visitors
the opportunity to see the latest designs in home
construction and home furnishings that our area has
to offer. The store is collaborating with Debbie Griggs
of Salt House Designs by providing home furnishings
and accessories for the builder’s custom coastal
charmer located at 2011 Edenton Street Kill Devil Hills
NC 27948. Stop by House #8 and experience a modern,
updated coastal home sure to be a crowd favorite.
local building projects. They have also made recent
donations to the College of Albemarle Foundation and
a commitment to Elizabeth City State University to
provide a well-deserved redesign for the student athlete’s
lounge area in the Vaughan center locker rooms.
Sawyer’s also sponsored this year’s Coast Guard Day,
where we celebrated our Coast Guard men, women
and families. These are just a few of the community
service projects the store has undertaken this fall.
Sawyer’s believes that the local business community
has a responsibility extend a helping hand to the community
they call home.
Even with all the improvements and updates, the
Sawyer’s family has made a conscious decision to
give back to our community that has given so much to
them. In August, the store made a signifi cant donation
to Habitat for Humanity in the form of four truckloads
of furniture for their retail store, The money generated
by the donation will help with the cost associated with

ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY: Excerpt from Way of the Ascetics By Tito Colliander
Introduction
The “Way of the Ascetics” is an introduction to the narrow
way that leads to life. It is a simple yet profound exposition
of the spiritual life taught by the Orthodox Church for two
thousand years. It is a portal to the vast spiritual experience
of the desert fathers, and an insight into the spiritual lives of
the saints. Reminiscent of the Ladder of St. John Climacus,
“Way of the Ascetics” compels us to again begin the struggle
to climb away from the world to the Kingdom of Heaven
In our era of new-age spirituality and homemade religion,
the simple patristic style of this work is consoling. In our age
of spiritual naiveté, the simple and understandable instructions
offered herein are enlightening and inspiring.
Chapter One: ON A RESOLUTE AND SUSTAINED PUR-
POSE
IF you wish to save your soul and win eternal life, arise
from your lethargy, make the sign of the Cross and say:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost. Amen.
Faith comes not through pondering but through action.
Not words and speculation but experience teaches us what
God is. To let in fresh air we have to open a window; to get
tanned we must go out into the sunshine. Achieving faith is
no different; we never reach a goal by just sitting in comfort
and waiting, say the holy Fathers. Let the Prodigal Son be
our example. He arose and came (Luke 15:20).
However weighed down and entangled in earthly fetters
you may be, it can never be too late. Not without reason is
it written that Abraham was seventy-fi ve when he set forth,
and the labourer who comes in the eleventh hour gets the
same wages as the one who comes in the fi rst.
Nor can it be too early. A forest fire cannot be put out too
soon; would you see your soul ravaged and charred?
In baptism you received the command to wage the invisible
warfare against the enemies of your soul; take it up now.
Long enough have you dallied; sunk in indifference and
laziness you have let much valuable time go to waste.
Therefore you must begin again from the beginning: for you
have let the purity you received in baptism be sullied in dire
fashion.
Arise, then; but do so at once, without delay. Do not defer
your purpose till “tonight” or “tomorrow” or “later, when I
have fi nished what I have to do just now.” The interval may
be fatal.
No, this moment, the instant you make your resolution,
you will show by your action that you have taken leave of
your old self and have now begun a new life, with a new
destination and a new way of living. Arise, therefore, without
fear and say: Lord, let me begin now. Help me! For what you
need above all is God’s help. Hold fast to your purpose and
do not look back. We have been given a warning example
in Lot’s wife, who was turned into a pillar of salt when she
looked back (Genesis 19:26). You have cast off your old
humanity; let the rags lie. Like Abraham, you have heard the
voice of the Lord: Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
kindred, and from thy father’s house, into a land that I will
show thee (Genesis 12:1). Towards that land hereafter you
must direct all your attention.

From Homeless to Hopeful by Matt Morrison
Recently, we told you the story of Rita, which appears in
Virginia Supportive Housing’s 2016 Annual Report. Although
Rita’s story is a successful one thus far, she remains at
Heron’s Landing, having lived there just over a year. We
wanted to also share with you the story of someone who has
moved on from Heron’s Landing to reestablish a successful,
independent, and productive life. While residents can stay
in our buildings as long as they comply with their lease, on
average they stay just a few years before moving on, thus
allowing us to serve the most vulnerable members of the
community as the need arises.
Like Rita, Michelle has moved in and out of Hampton
Roads for work and family reasons. In the beginning of 2009
she was living stably in a Newport News apartment and had
a good job. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, however,
work became too slow and pretty soon she couldn’t
afford her rent. She had to move out, bouncing around with
family and friends in the area.
She became of aware of VSH but unfortunately, due to our
limited availability, we were unable to house her at the time,
so she moved back to her hometown of Los Angeles for two
years. Work was hard to come by, it turns out, “I still didn’t
fi nd a job,” Michelle says, “but one day I got call to come
back to Virginia for work.” She did, and found herself living
temporarily with her grandmother and a friend.
While initially happy to be close to loved ones once more,
work again proved too slow. Michelle started living out of
her truck, afraid to strain her relationships by overstaying
her welcome, yet still unable to acquire housing. Luckily
someone told her about the shelter Oasis Social Ministry
in Portsmouth. For a time she worked during the day and
came to the shelter at night, but then fi nally someone there
told her about an opening at Heron’s Landing. She fi lled
out an application with the local housing authority, and then
waited with pensive but confi dent optimism. “I knew with the
grace of GOD that I had a place,” she says. It turns out her
instincts were right on target; “I moved into Heron’s Landing
and lived there for 4 years having a job on and off.”
In stages, Michelle was able to take her life back and
reinvent herself. From Oasis, to Virginia Supportive Housing,
to reliable work, and fi nally her own housing, she has
reclaimed normalcy and stability. After attending a job fair
organized by VSH staff, Michelle learned a new trade as a
maintenance tech and was offered a steady job before she
even graduated. Using a Section 8 Housing Choice voucher,
she soon moved into a nice apartment right next to her new
job.
Michelle has a message for our staff: “THANK YOU to
them for all their help, and with God’s help, I’M GONNA
MAKE IT!” While everything might not be perfect in her life
now, she’s always moving one step forward and fi nding
progress and purpose each day.
Who can say Michelle’s story can’t happen to them? Have
you ever felt like you were getting behind? Have you ever
been one paycheck, one layoff, or one injury away from
losing your world as you know it?
How about one school drop-out, one conviction, one foreclosure,
or one illness?
Did you feel like you were powerless during the 2008
recession? We all have had moments where we thought we
were a step away from chaos. Take a moment to think, who
helped you? Who was there for you? Without an adequate
support network around us, we could easily be on the
streets in the blink of an eye. Virginia Supportive Housing is
there to fi ll the gap for those who need a helping hand to pull
them back up. If you’d like to help too, contact Ms. Arden
Reed at areed@virginiasupportivehousing.org or 757-327-
1767. We love our new volunteers and partners!
Case Manager Duane Miller organized the job
fair that found Michelle employment.

Article reprint from earlier this year.
Stella will be back next month.
You don’t have to wait until Christmas or a birthday to
give a gift to the people you love. This month, we will
celebrate Memorial Day. We honor our veterans –
those who fight to protect our country and freedom as
well as those who have died in combat.
Many veterans are characterized as courageous, adventurous,
and responsible. The men and women who
serve in our military know that they are risking their lives
for their country. There is always the possibility that they
may not return home to their friends and family. Early in
their careers, servicemen and women often recognize
that few decisions in life are as distasteful, yet as important,
as planning for its end.
Today, there are many things clamoring for our time
and attention. Estate planning is not always a top priority.
However, those who do such planning save their
heirs much anguish, frustration, and often a great deal of
money. Whether you are single, married, with or without
children, a veteran or not, everyone should have an
estate plan.
While the issues confronting each person vary due to
their unique situation, it is important you realize that as
your life changes, your estate plan needs to change too.
Maybe you are a married couple with children under the
age of 18. Your major assets consist of a home, life insurance
policy and two cars. A will is a legal instrument
that allows a person to dispose of his property at his
death. In addition to providing for your surviving spouse,
a will may recommend guardians for minor children and
set up trusts for them in case of the simultaneous deaths
of both parents. But what if your will was written 10
years ago when you lived in New York? Have your children
grown and married since your last will was written?
By: Stella Knight
Has your spouse recently died? Are you considering
a second marriage? A single or widowed person has
different estate planning goals then he or she did just a
few years ago. Perhaps you want to give gifts to your
grandchildren, charities, or plan for the management of
your assets should you become disabled or incapacitated.
Estate planning goals for you may utilize a will and/
or revocable trust.
Planning to distribute your assets doesn’t have to be a
complicated and confusing ritual. It is much more confusing
for the parties who remain when you do not take
care of these things in your lifetime.
Would you ever allow the State of North Carolina to
dictate what gift you had to give people for their birthday
or Christmas? If not, why would you allow the State
of North Carolina to distribute your assets if you were
suddenly taken from this Earth? Do you really want a
judge to settle a dispute between embattled in-laws as to
who will raise your children should there be a common
disaster?
This Memorial Day, honor our veterans and honor your
family. Give your family the gift of an estate plan.

estate plan, visit my website at www.stellaknightlaw.com.

Art in the Albemarle Area
October! The fi rst real month of fall and
the beauty of the colors is about to hit
its peak in the mountain areas of our
beautiful state soon to be followed in our
Albemarle Area. There is nothing like the
beautiful colors and palette of the fall season. Time to
put those warm colors to work on our canvas paintings!
In this issue I would like to address a unique area of
painting … Artists Trading Cards. Just what are artist
trading cards? Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature
pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists
create, trade and collect art at organized “swap” events,
either in person or online. The only offi cial rule for ATCs
is the size: 2.5” x 3.5”. This “movement” started in 1997,
M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200
cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he
invited others to create their own cards and trade with
him during the closing reception. The movement took
off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every
major city around the world. There are also many online
swaps. Simply look up Artist Trading cards on the web
to find out how you can get started trading.
However, before you can trade you have to create
something to trade. Here is how you get started. Start
with the size in mind. Artist trading cards are generally
2 ½ inches by 3 1/2 inches. This allows them to fi t into
the plastic sleeves in which they are stored. You can
then use the plastic card holders in a binder to bring to
a trade and store in your own binder collection. This is
the size of hockey cards and other trading cards. You
can even start with mismatched playing cards as a
base for collage or altered item artwork. Next, choose
your media. You may start by cutting cardstock or
heavy paper to size. If you work in another medium,
such as leather or fabric, you may either cut it to size
or work so that the finished result is the correct size.
Then let yourself go, paint your cards. Your ATC may
be as simple or as detailed as you desire. Have fun
with it. Make a lot of them. Upon completion, Sign and
date your cards, attach contact information if you so
By:Talmage Dunn
desire. An email address or website is a good compromise
if you’ll be giving these cards to strangers, or
mailing them. You may want to title your work. The title
is optional, but it will give your recipients or viewers a
context in which to view your work. Or leave it to the
people trading, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The whole point of ATCs is to trade with other artists,
so once you have a selection of cards, trade them.
Find artists or groups in your area that trade cards. The
idea is to trade in person. Attend gatherings of artists in
your area, and remind them to bring ATCs to share.
Carry them with you as you would business cards, so
that if you find an occasion to trade or give away a
card, they are with you.
Spread the word. If your local artist community is unfamiliar
with artist trading cards, you might wish to give
away a few cards or offer them with a request for one in
return before you get many back. Organize a gathering
to swap ATCs. Let people know what ATCs are about,
and get together to try trading some. Look on-line.
There are on-line groups that will match you up with
others the world over who can mail cards in exchange
for yours.
Collect others’ ATCs. Because they are the size of
other standard trading cards, most will fi t in trading card
sleeves. ATCs should be as unique as the artists who
create them, so enjoy the selection. Start a collection of
ATCs and try to get as many as you can.
I have attached a couple of ATC’s that I did this week
as examples. Have fun with this. Look up this project. It
is amazing that these were the precursors to baseball
trading cards

Welcome to fall Gardening
407 McArthur Drive, Elizabeth City 252-335-5882
This month is full of things to do in the garden and fall decor. This is a great
month to set out cool weather annuals like pansies, violas, snap dragons and
ornamentals cabbage and kale. Plant trees, shrubs, and hardy perennials
now too. Even when they’ve gone dormant above ground their roots will grow
through the winter. This gives them a head start next year. Winterizing fertilizers
are important. Fertilome root and flower 9-58-8 water soluble is a good
way to do that. Fertilome granule winterizer 10-0-8 is good for lawns and all
trees and shrubs. October is dry so dont think just because its cooler now that
plants dont need moisture soil. Water new plantings a couple times a week until
your first fall freeze. Don’t let evergreens go into winter dry. Dry soil in cold
weather can cause serious damage that you’ll discover next spring. Fire ants
are still very active in the garden. Hi Yield fire ant control with acephate is a
very good control of these nuisance pest. Mums are available now with beautiful
blooms. Container gardens are easy to make for yours fall decor. Pumpkins
are in so many varieties and colors.
They make a great addition to your
fall decorations.

The Danger of High Moisture Readings in Your Crawl Space
By Harry Cannon
(Harry Cannon is a mold product patent holder and
owner of Dwelling Management Solutions)
You’ve probably heard “your house is only as
healthy as your crawl space.” However, most property
owners do not order a crawl space inspection until
it’s time to sell or buy a property.
If the moisture reading is over 19%, corrective
measures are typically needed. As a mold
re-mediator and patent owner, I understand with
most high moisture readings, there is a high probability
of finding mold.
When mold is present in a crawl space and not
treated, it can wick upwards into your home or continue
growing in your insulation. When you fi nally
spot it, it usually has spread to the back wall and
increased in surface area.
Most exterminators suggest a vapor barrier, sand
treatment, or dehumidifi er to address high moisture
levels. But neither of these account for mold that
could be hiding in your crawl space, insulation, or
wood. They are not designed to kill mold.
Dwelling Management Solutions, provides comprehensive
services to remove and prevent mold
damage. We completely inspect your crawl space
and can offer you a vapor barrier insulation or dehumidifi
er along with specialized treatments that bring
you and your family peace of mind and health.
For more articles on mold treatment, visit www.
dwellms.com or our Facebook site at “Dwelling Management
Solutions.” In addition, call Harry at 252
339 2498 and ask him to help you review specifi c
factors affecting your property so that you can fi nd a
reliable solution.

Albemarle Loop News
Dismal Swamp Canal Update
by Claude Milot
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has announced
that it expects to complete repairs to the Dismal
Swamp Canal by the end of October. Although
the date of the reopening is later than previously
announced, it is good news for recreational boaters
who prefer the Dismal Swamp Canal to the Albemarle
& Chesapeake Canal, which is traveled mostly by
commercial vessels.
Hurricane Matthew severely damaged the canal
last October, knocking over 350 trees into it and
causing a great deal of shoaling that required extensive
dredging, both in the feeder ditch from Lake
Drummond and in the canal itself. The fi nal dredging
phase is underway in the Turner Cut that connects
the canal between the South Mills Lock and the
Pasquotank River. When this is completed, boaters
will fi nally be able to sail all the way from Norfolk to
Elizabeth City and the Albemarle Sound.
The Dismal Swamp Canal is the oldest operating artifi
cial waterway in the United States. Its history goes
back to 1763 when George Washington was one of
twelve Virginians who formed the Dismal Swamp
Company with the goal of draining the swamp and
saving the land for development. Nothing much came
of the original plans until Washington, Patrick Henry,
and others came up with the idea of building a canal
Sponsored by
Dwelling Management
Solutions
through the Dismal Swamp to provide inland navigation
between the Chesapeake Bay and the Albemarle
Sound. Digging began in 1793, and the 22-mile
waterway was completed in 1805.
Throughout its early history, the Dismal Swamp
Canal was used to ship produce and merchandise
between Norfolk and Elizabeth City. The canal even
had a hotel on the Virginia-North Carolina state line
that was reputedly popular with gamblers; when
law-enforcement authorities came up from one state,
the gamblers simply stepped over the state line to
avoid prosecution.

Elizabeth City Chamber News
by: Mike Hindenach
In July, I shared that The Chamber has begun the process of
reviewing its goals and vision. Part of our vision is being the
voice of business in the Elizabeth City area. In the past year,
The Chamber has taken a variety of stances, all of which were
tied to the business environment and some were more controversial
than others.
The Chamber supported the ¼ cent tax increase in support
our ECPPS schools. Of all our stances, this one was questioned
the most by our membership. I received a phone call
from one of our members who very eloquently offered the other
side of the coin regarding increased taxes and how dangerous
they can be when competitors have a tax advantage. He wasn’t
wrong in his argument; however, The Chamber’s position was
that the investment in our schools was needed, appropriate and
that the tax burden would be shared through consumption as
opposed to property taxes. The voting public did not agree with
us and voted this measure down.
The Chamber publicly supports the Currituck Mid-County
Bridge project. The Chamber believes that this project is essential
to the future growth of the Elizabeth City area in addition
to being a crucial piece of infrastructure for public safety on
the Outer Banks. We are fully cognizant of the environmental
impacts that are of concern to those opposing the bridge, but
feel this project should proceed for the good of the majority of
individuals that are impacted by its construction.
The Chamber also supported the removal of language that
would have banned live entertainment from microbrewery establishments
in Elizabeth City. We spoke at the Elizabeth City
Planning Commission meetings against the ban and in support
of microbreweries who will become vital to our city in bringing
in tax revenue and providing additional downtown support and
entertainment.
Currently we are speaking in support of the “Brunch Bill” that
allows for establishments to sell alcoholic beverages on Sunday
mornings, beginning at 10 a.m. This measure has passed in the
City of Elizabeth City. We are supporting the passing of the bill
in Pasquotank and Camden counties as well.
Recently the Chamber has written a letter in support of the
Committee of 100’s initiative to aggressively market our community
to retirees. The focus would be on active young retirees
who are looking for an affordable option for waterfront living and
continuing education opportunities that our three institutions of
higher learning can provide.
These measures have been brought to us from members that
have concerns about the business environment in our community.
We believe that a part of our mission and vision should be
to take up the cause of our members regarding our local and
regional business environment, while remaining loyal to our
communities.

Columbia—Gateway to Nature
Like me, most people driving east on Rte. 64 on the way
to Nags Head or Coquina Beach have probably driven over
the Scuppernong River and past Columbia without stopping.
And we all missed a place that is really worth visiting. Columbia
is a beautiful little town with a handsome marina and
a bustling Main Street. But it is much more than that.
As you cross the bridge over the river, make a quick right
turn and park at the fi rst Visitor’s Center. The friendly folks
there will tell you all about Columbia and invite you to take
a walking tour of the town. It wouldn’t be too taxing, as Columbia
is small, only half a square mile in area.
by Claude Milot
Even if exploring is not your thing, you can enjoy River
Roaming on the Scuppernong, a free hour-long guided boat
tour of the river that starts out every Friday at 10:30 a.m.
But you must call (252) 796-0723 to reserve a seat.
Finally, mark your calendar for the 25th Annual Scuppernong
River Festival on October 14. It will have a Main Street
parade, arts & craft and food vendors, all-day music entertainment,
a culinary arts contest, water activities, fi reworks,
and a concert by the Original Rondells. For more information,
call (252) 796-2781.

Outlaws
Space Sponsored by Biggs Cadillac
The Outlaws 6-3 in the conference. They have one
regular season game left October 7 against the
Carolina Stallions. The game next week will determine
their seeding for playoffs.
There is a second Visitor’s Center behind the fi rst, and this
one is headquarters for the Pocosin Lakes Natural Wildlife
Refuge. This is where it really gets interesting, because Columbia
is the gateway to the many natural habitats surrounding
the area. You get a hint of this in the Visitor’s Center
fi lled with exhibits of stuffed animals like the black bear, the
red wolf, and the only fox known for climbing trees. For an
introduction to the habitats, ask to see a 15-minute fi lm that
shows thousands of migrating birds like snow geese and
swans taking up residence in the wetlands for the winter.
Your next step should be walking the ¾ mile Scuppernong
River Interpretive Trail that starts just outside the Visitor’s
Center and guides you on a boardwalk loop through a bottomland
swamp along the river. If this whets your appetite
for more bird-watching and wildlife photography, look into
exploring the 12,000-acre Pungo Unit of Pocosin Lakes.
You can get all the information you need from the Visitor’s
Center.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures
In October when the crowds start to thin out and the weather starts
to cool, the surf fishing on the Outer Banks really starts to heat up.
Depending on the air and water temps, prevailing winds and currents
the fishing can produce excellent catches of Bluefi sh, Flounder,
Sea Mullet, Red Drum and Trout. Because of these excellent
fi shing opportunities there are many annual surf fi shing tournaments
to participate on the Outer Banks. Here are few you can sign up for
with the exception of the Cape Hatteras Anglers Club Invitational
Tournament, which has a long waiting list to add teams. Because of
the fl ooding last fall on Hatteras Island, along with the recent power
loss to the island for more than a week, these business owners need
help to sustain them through the winter. So while you are down there,
take your Christmas List and start your shopping early and help the
Hatteras Island economy.

to find a tire on the island. Also now is the time check your 4 wheel
drive, brakes and cooling system. You want to come down to the
island to have fun and fi sh-- not spend your time in the repair shop.
Now that your vehicle is ready, make sure you have a good tow rope
and/or chain, a good jack, shovel and boards to use in case you or a
friend gets stuck in that Carolina Sugar Sand that is present on several
ramps. Make sure you have a good tire pressure gauge and above
all make sure you air down to 20-25 pounds of pressure in your tires.
By letting the air down in your tires, they widen the footprint of your
tire, which will help you not make ruts and not get stuck. There are
two groups of people who get stuck on the beach, and they are those
that have and those that will. Remember that and stop and help those
that do get stuck because you may be next.
Also before you hit the beaches, make sure you stop at the NPS
Ranger’s Office at Bodie Island or Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Offi ce
and get your ORV Permit. The permit is now good for 365 days from
purchase and you can also get a 10 day permit. Finally, make sure
you have your NC Coastal Fishing License. Now that all of that is
done-- go forth and fi sh and have fun!

Surfalorus Film Festival Wraps Up With Waves
And Record Crowds by Tatum Clements
Over 100 people came out three nights in a row to enjoy regional, national and international
surf films at the 6th Annual Surfalorus Film Festival on the Outer Banks.
Surfalorus kicked off at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head with music by Sensi Trails,
frozen yogurt from Surfin’ Spoon, and a book signing by Nags Head native Jessica
Lowcher for her first book Queenie Wahine, Little Surfer Girl. The North Carolina
premiere for feature film Take Every Wave by Rory Kennedy and the official premiere
of LIMITLESS by Manteo High School film student Logan Marshall were screened
in front of the film festival’s largest crowd ever with over 150 people in attendance at
Jennette’s Pier.
“I am so stoked on the premiere,” said filmmaker Logan Marshall. “Everything
was perfect and better than I could have ever imagined. I am so thankful to the Arts
Council and the Surfalorus Film Festival for making this happen. That was an evening
I will never forget, and I can’t wait to start working on my next film.”
The free, family-friendly event traveled to Dare County Arts Council for the second
night of films and not a single seat was left for guests to enjoy a collaborative trailer
for a 2018 documentary film about Mickey McCarthy, Maranasati and Protecting the
Atlantic by Outer Banks filmmaker Chris Hannant, and feature film Fish People by
Keith Malloy.
“I am super grateful to the team at Surfalorus for continuing to put on this event
on the Outer Banks,” said filmmaker Chris Hannant. “We need more stuff like this
around here. I am already so stoked for next year”
Friday night at Dare County Arts Council also celebrated surf art with a book signing
by Chris Bickford for Legends Of The Sandbar, a photography exhibit honoring Mickey
McCarthy curated by Daniel Pullen, and a long-board exhibit curated by Steve
Wise.
On the final evening of Surfalorus a huge crowd enjoyed feature films Under an Arctic
Sky by Chris Burkard and The Church of the Open Sky by Nathan Oldfield under
the stars in the backyard at the Outer Banks Brewing Station. Intermission between
the two films included a fire performance by Kill Devil Hills local Panda Daniels. The
traditional poi performance was a perfect metaphor for the festival’s fiery emergence
as a major event on the Outer Banks social calendar.
Surfalorus is a premier collaboration between Dare County Arts Council and the
Cucalorus Film Festival, which will celebrate its 23rd anniversary this fall bringing
over 300 films to downtown Wilmington, NC.
“The third year is always special for an event like this - it takes a few years to build
momentum and we could tell as we drove up from Wilmington that this year was
going to be special,” said Cucalorus Film Festival Executive Director and Surfalorus
Curator Dan Brawley. “I think it is fair to say that Surfalorus has found a permanent
home on the Outer Banks, thanks to Dare County Arts Council Executive Director
Chris Sawin, the Surfalorus event committee and the core crew of salty surfers who
come out every year to celebrate the intersection between filmmaking and riding
waves. We’re stoked about all the possibilities that lie ahead. We’ll be building our
relationship with ESA and the Easterns as well so that the stoke builds every year.”
This project is funded in part by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau.
Surfalorus is sponsored by Outer Banks Blue and supported by The Town of Manteo.
Dare County Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization dedicated to
encouraging the arts in Dare County through advocacy, enrichment and opportunity.

FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM
Visitors to the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural
History Center will have an opportunity on October 27-
29, 2017 , to see how the original inhabitants of Hatteras
Island lived. During that tim e museum staff will work with
volunteers on projects for the village being constructed
on the nature trail. The project has been underway
for three years. Volunteers started work on a ten foot
Cyprus log to transform it into a dug out canoe in 2014,
and thanks to a grant from the Outer Banks Community
Foundation, the fi rst anchor posts for a longhouse were
sunk in November 2015.
prior to European contact. Individuals interested in participating
in the project should contact the museum.
An exciting “Explore the Past” weekend with activities
for the entire family is planned for April 2018 to share the
village with the public, The journey will begin with contemporary
crafts and native food at the entrance to the
nature trail and continue with guides dressed in period
clothing to take visitors back in time through workshops,
hands on projects, story telling, drumming, dancing, special
ceremonies and much, much more.
The village will ultimately include the 14’ x 20’ longhouse,
ceremonial circle, spirit poles, palisade, knapping
station, fi shing weir, fish cleaning station, drying racks,
and native gardens. Volunteers have met twice annually
to bring the village to life, and the next work session is
planned for the last weekend in October. Volunteers will
be able to work on the long house and its furnishings as
well as learn how to make native clothing for the period

your guests can actively participate in the assembly.
It's not just another wave,

outerbankswave.com
For more recipes, tours of my garden, and the occasional
travelogue, please visit with Rosie at KitchensAreMonkeyBusiness.com.
For any culinary questions,
e-me at Rosie Hawthorne@gmail.com.
For the spring rolls:
Rosie’s Spring Rolls
Rice wrappers (available in Asian section of supermarket)
Fillings:
As for the fillings, I always pick and choose and I’m simply
offering suggestions; however, there is one caveat: Do NOT
overstuff your rolls. Think large, cigar-sized, not paper towel
roll-sized, spring rolls, and you’ll be fi ne.
Sushi rice
Soft lettuce leaves (Boston, bibb, butterhead)
Carrots, cucumbers, multi-colored peppers, julienned
Bean sprouts (mung, alfalfa, broccoli)
Cabbage, thinly sliced
Avocado, thinly sliced, doused in lime juice to keep from turning
brown
Shrimp, cooked and sliced lengthwise
Mint, basil, cilantro leaves
Toasted sesame seeds
Toasted peanuts, crushed
Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup Tamari sauce (or soy sauce)
1 TB rice vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 knob ginger, pressed
1 scallion, sliced
pinch cayenne fl akes
Mix all together.
As for ginger, I always cut it into 1-inch cubes and
freeze. When I’m ready to use, I peel off the skin and
nuke the cube for about 25 seconds, then squeeze out
the juice with my fi ngers or you can have a go at it with
a garlic press.
Enjoy!
For the rice:
Rinse rice thoroughly, 1-2 minutes, until there’s no
more starch coming out and water runs clear. Drain.
Measure 1 cup rice and 1 ¼ cups water into a medium
sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover,
and simmer 20 minutes or until water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for about 10
minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and ½
teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix well, let cool, and continue
with spring roll “recipe.”
Fill shallow dish with warm water. Working one roll at a
time, submerge rice wrapper in water for about 30 seconds,
or until pliable but not mushy. Tear off the rib or spine
from your lettuce leaf and lay leaf on the rice paper. Add
a layer of sushi rice, then continue adding the rest of the
ingredients. Pick and choose. You don’t need to use every
ingredient in each roll. I’ve merely given suggestions. You
want to experience fl avors and textures in each bite. After
placing the fi llings, pull up the bottom of the rice paper over
the fi lling, give it a roll, then fold in the side fl aps to secure.
Continue rolling tightly to contain the ingredients. I can’t
emphasize enough – do not overfi ll.
Most importantly, have fun!
To serve, slice the rolls into inch-long pieces. Sprinkle
toasted sesame seeds and peanuts around the slices. In
addition to a nose-searing wasabi paste, I like to offer an
assortment of dipping sauces. Here’s a quick and easy
accompaniment.

Don’t Mind This Weed
by: Coy Domecq
The Joe-Pye weed is native to this area and fi lls many roles.
Don’t let the term “weed” fool you. Weed is a bit too strong
a term for a plant with so many uses. It is a wildfl ower, a
butterfl y and bee attractant, a medicinal plant, and can be
used a food source. First a little background, the earliest use
of the common name Joe-Pye to describe this member of the
aster family dates around 1820. Lore has it that a colonial-era
Native American by the name of, you guessed it, Joe Pye (or
Jopi) used the plant to successfully treat typhus and similar
fevers.
The Joe-Pye weed blooms until the fi rst hard frost of the
fall. The fresh fl owers and buds can be steeped to produce a
medicinal tea. The tea was taken as a diuretic, among other
uses. The leaves and stems are harvested in summer, and
roots are gathered in autumn. They can be dried for winter
storage. Rumor has it that the tea is still commonly used
as a home remedy in Appalachia, and parents there use a
Joe-Pye tea bath to calm restless children. Although many
sources document that all parts of the plant are edible, there
is scant information on how it was consumed as an energy
source. It is important to note that misuse or overconsumption
of Joe-Pye weed can cause detrimental health effects.
Also, modern traditional science has not verifi ed its touted
health benefi ts.

For the next few articles, I would like to address some of the myths
that often appear about Habitat for Humanity. Far and away, the
biggest myth is that Habitat houses are free.
From the very beginning in the early 1970s, founders Millard and
Linda Fuller developed the concept of “partnership housing.” Millard
Fuller and Clarence Jordan, founder of Koinonia Farm in Americus,
Ga., began building houses on the farm with local families because
there was a need for decent housing in the area. Many of the families
who purchased the fi rst houses previously lived in shacks.
This concept of “partnership housing” is the foundation for what
is commonly referred to today as “sweat equity” and is a hallmark
of Habitat for Humanity projects worldwide. Partner families work
WITH volunteers to build decent, affordable houses which are sold
to qualifi ed home buyers who receive no-interest loans.
Sweat equity is a way for our partner families to be involved with
the construction of their homes. They learn about home ownership
by seeing how their house and those of other partner families are
built. It is a very positive experience because families can see their
house’s progress from beginning to fi nished product and know that
they contributed to its construction.
If you are interested in applying to be a partner family with Habitat
for Humanity for a house to be built in 2018, please pick up an application
at either Taylor Mueller Realty, 440 S. Hughes Blvd., or at
our Sale Store, 306 Mill St. Application packets must include proof
of income, a copy of your most recent tax return and your credit
score. The deadline to submit an application is October 31.

Northeast North Carolina Family History – Neglected Family History…
I meant to write about why Halloween is one of my favorite
holidays, but an online problem with one of my husband’s
Camden lines changed to course of my column for October.
Noah Torksey was born about 1779 and married Harriet
Gregory who some believe was a daughter of General Isaac
Gregory. There are some questions as to the correct wife
and mother with others stating her name was Margaret/Peggy/Polly.
According to Noah’s 1856 will they had eight living
children - Henry, John, Noah Jr., Miriam, Margaret (Peggy),
Christopher, Nancy and Sarah. The children married into
the Gregory, Brown, Jones, Duncan, Whitehurst and Sawyer
families in Camden County.
Margaret or Peggy married John Gregory around 1831
and John sister Eliza marries Margaret’s oldest brother Henry.
John and Eliza were two of the six children of William
and Sally Gregory. A number of people have tied Margaret
to other husband’s and children, which is what I ran across
as I was looking for something else online. A number of wills
and deeds in Camden clear up this controversy. John Gregory
dies in May of 1851 and his widow marries Etheridge
Forbes on the 15th of April 1855. When her father Noah
Torksey dies in 1856, his will refers to his daughter Margaret
(Peggy) Forbes and two of her children, Zion Gregory and
Ellen Hampton, wife of Andrew Jackson Hampton.
When Margaret’s oldest brother, Henry, dies in 1865, he
also leaves property to his niece Ellen Hampton and nephew
Zion Gregory, son of Margaret Forbes. Margaret and
Etheridge Forbes had one daughter, Margaret Ann Forbes
who married William Seymour Bartlett in 1874. There was
a question about some property she inherited that ended
up going to her Gregory half-siblings. Years ago when I
was searching Camden County deeds, I was mystifi ed by
the Gregory/Forbes relationship. A former Camden Register
of Deeds, Elizabeth McPherson Jones had spent years
abstracting relationships from Camden deeds and published
an amazing book, “Kinsfolk of Camden County Deed Books”
in two volumes. That book cleared up the mystery in a matter
of minutes!! If you are interested, there are copies in the
Camden, Currituck and Pasquotank libraries.
As I started rechecking my information, I was surprised
and disappointed to realize it has been at least fi fteen years
since I have spent any time researching those Camden
lines. Perhaps more surprising to me was as I searched a
few online family history sites, including Ancestry.com, there
was not much new information to be found on the Torksey/
Toxey line. Now it was a quick perusal but like so many, I
had hoped someone else had done a whole lot of research I
could check out… Oh well, I can see a need to get back to
some serious research. As all of my family history fi les are
still in storage, I didn’t have access to my copies of wills and
deeds, I went to a website I have written about in the past,
FamilySearch.org. After clicking on the Search tab, I choose
Records, Location, North Carolina and then scrolled down
to North Carolina Image Only as the wills have not yet been
abstracted. I clicked on North Carolina Probate Records,
1735-1970 and a link that asks you to browse 1,167,259
records stares you down. Don’t be intimidated! When you
click on it, the North Carolina counties pop up and you can
browse through your desired county to your heart’s content.
By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com
Again, not that I have checked recently, but some years
ago, Camden transferred their older will books to the North
Carolina State Archives, so this way you can still look them
up and from the comfort of your home, any time of day or
night. Just be aware that the image numbers and will page
numbers are not going to match up but with a little effort you
will fi nd what you are looking for.
And I just recently stopped at the stopped at Camden’s
Historic Jail and History Museum nest to the courthouse and
spent an informative visit listening to Brian Forehand. This
museum just opened and contains some records that Brian
informed me his father rescued when some old documents
that did not appear to have value were being discarded. He
has a marvelous framed map that his father noted the familiar
names of areas throughout Camden County that have
long faded from memory. That museum is open on Fridays
and Saturdays from 10 am until 4 pm and from the sounds
of it has grown and will continue to do so. And now a plea
– if you think you have old documents in a garage, attic, fi le
cabinet from your local area, please don’t let them be thrown
away. After Matthew last year, someone mentioned they
had seen someone throwing out leather bound volumes in a
dumpster in Currituck. Probably had the answers to some
of my Currituck brick walls – sigh!
And just in case you wondered about Halloween – it was
the one night my dad always went out with us – a favorite
memory! I don’t associate it with anything scary – just with
my dad. How about you?

Does Market Volatility Scare You?
info@albfence.com
Halloween is almost upon us. Of course, on Halloween night, you may
see a parade of monsters, demons, Transformers and other frightening
individuals stopping by your house, exercising their right to demand candy.
Fortunately, their appearance will be unlikely to cause you unpleasant
dreams. But some people seem to have real fears about other things –
such as what may happen in the fi nancial markets. One way to keep those
fears at bay is to avoid certain impulsive moves, such as the following:
• Avoid ducking out of the market –
Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe
• Avoid taking on too much – or too little – risk. If you feel the need to push
your portfolio toward the maximum possible returns, you might invest too
aggressively and take on too much risk. Conversely, if you are determined
to avoid any amount of loss, at any time, you might invest so conservatively
that your portfolio won’t grow enough to help you achieve your longterm
goals. You need to strike a balance between risk and reward that is
appropriate for you, and you need to make investment choices suitable for
your individual risk tolerance.
Consider this: In March 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at
about 12,275 points. Exactly two years later, in the immediate aftermath
of the financial crisis, the Dow had fallen to about 6,500 – a drop of 47%
and the Dow’s lowest point in 12 years. By that time, a lot of people had
gone to the investment sidelines. So, what did they miss? Depending on
how long they stayed out of the market, they may have missed some, or
perhaps most, of one of the longest and strongest bull markets in history,
because, just eight years later, the Dow had soared to almost 21,000, a
gain of 223%. Of course, investing does involve the risk of losing principal,
and there is no guarantee the market will perform as it has in the past.
However, it’s fair to say that if you duck out of the market during its lower
points, you might not benefi t from the gains that may follow.
• Avoid chasing “hot” stocks – By the time you hear about a supposedly
hot” stock, it may already be cooling off. Also, how trustworthy is the
source? Does this tip come from an unbiased, knowledgeable individual?
If not, you have reason to though, you need to ask if the hot stock is appropriate
for your needs, goals and risk tolerance. If not, it’s not so hot.

• Avoid owning too many of the same investments – If you own a lot of one
particular fi nancial asset and a market downturn affects that asset class
strongly, your portfolio could suffer. But if you spread your investment
dollars among domestic and international stocks, bonds, U.S. Treasury
securities, certifi cates of deposit (CDs) and so on, you may not be as
susceptible to a downturn, because different types of investments often
perform differently at any given time. (Keep in mind, though, that while
diversifi cation can help reduce the effects of market volatility, it can’t guarantee
profi ts or protect against all losses.)
No matter what you do, you can’t take all the uncertainty out of investing.
But by understanding market volatility and the composition of your portfolio,
you can invest with more confi dence.

Archives Month
By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle
wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov
Archives Month is celebrated in October. Several institutions within the state of
North Carolina have their archives available for public research. The State Archives
of North Carolina in Raleigh, the Western Regional Archives in Asheville, the Outer
Banks History Center in Manteo, and your local libraries and genealogical society
are a great place to learn more about your past. The Museum of the Albemarle has
a few archival documents in its collections include one letter written on October 16,
1905 by Margaret “Betsey” Cox, a young lady in Berkley, Virginia, writing home to
her mother, Mrs. David A. Cox in Moyock, NC. Betsey writes:
Dear Mama-
As I have got my lessons nearly straight
I will write you a few lines to let you
know how I am getting on alright in my
books.
I got my history today. Mr. Brouelet said
he would send the bill of the books to
papa.
I haven’t started to take my music yet
because I have not had time my other
lessons have kept me busy ever since I
started school.
I went to Portsmouth Saturday morning
and stayed until yesterday evening and
[had] a splendid time.
I wore my gray dress and most everyone
said it looked like a bought one.
Prayer
Cousin Eugenia, Mr. Barclay and Lillian
were here yesterday evening.
How are Jane, Ruth & Edward getting
on. I guess Ruth & Jane like to go to
school a[s] good as ever. Tell Edward
that I want to see him mighty bad and
Jane & Ruth.
Tell Jane & Ruth to write to me. I don’t
have time to write very much.
I will close. Give my love to papa and all.
From
your loving daughter
Betsey.
P.S. write soon.

He Still Loves Me
by Ron Ben Dov
I used to be mouthy,
And I used to drink;
I used to smoke cigarettes and dope;
Chased many women
and I ate way too much;
I’ve done so much wrong,
Not only to me,
But to so many others;
Yet my Jesus, He, still loves me.
A Light in The Darkness
by Ron Ben Dov
Endurance is the watchword
Patience tested at full stretch
Our health is always threatened
And families embroiled in strife
Children, they rebel, often
Spouses, marriages in disarray
Life is full of suffering
I’m stretched beyond belief
I head for the temple
I come before the throne
Overfl owing with your grace
And embraced in never-ending love
My life is in your hands
I sit and I ponder
How much better, with you, I am
I thank you for the blessings
Those bestowed by you
I thank you for your love
And promise mine for you
Prayer is the most important and powerful conversation we can learn
and have. I recently preached a series of messages on prayer, and as
always, I learned more than those who listen to the messages. Recently
in the natural, we have seen the devastation that storms bring to our part
of the world. Life can be very rough on us, and the only way to try and
deal with the storms of life is prayer. In the 1800’s the Spafford’s knew this
well. After losing all they had in the Chicago fi res, they lost four daughters
in a boat collision in the Atlantic Ocean. Through the tragedy of life,
Mr. Spafford penned these words. “When peace, like a river, attendeth
my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, Thou hast
taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.” Though the song shows
a true struggle with understanding why these tough things happened to
his family, it also shows tremendous faith in Jesus Christ. This faith could
have only come through powerful conversations with Jesus Christ through
prayer. This was his conclusion that came from these conversations with
Jesus. “Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this
blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And
hath shed His own blood for my soul.
Through prayer we are restored to live another day, we are strengthen
to show the joy in life in Christ even through the struggle. We can even
share with others the restoration and strength we have received. My challenge
to you today as you read this, is to learn the powerful conversation
called prayer. Need help understanding the storms in your life? I encourage
you to fi nd a Church where the word of God is lived in real time.
Where practical life answers are given, through prayer, teaching of God’s
word, and encouragement that comes through building relationships. You
are prayed for whether you know it or not.

Prisoners during Lincoln’s War or Also Known As the War of Northern Aggression
By Dr. Dave
Human error in the form of overcrowding the camps, a frequent
cause of widespread disease is to blame for many of
the deaths at Point Lookout, Alton and Salisbury. In some instances,
however, simple error and ignorance developed into
treachery and malicious intent, culminating in tragic losses of
human life.
Barely are to meet the logistical demands of their own
soldiers, confederate authorities were hard-pressed to secure
and care for federal prisoners. Major General John H. Winder
C.S. served as commissary general of all prison camps east
of the Mississippi River from November 21, 1864 until his
death on February 7, 1865. On March 30, 1865 Major General
Daniel Ruggles replaced Winder. Ruggles and others associated
with the confederate bureau of prison camps labored
manually under nearly impossible conditions. Yankee prisoners
in the south suffered from overcrowding, inadequate food
and unsanitary conditions because of the Yankee blockading
scorched earth policy and cancellation of prisoner exchanges.
Henry Wirz was installed as commandant of Andersonville
which was foiled before it began and Wirz ended up being
a scape goat for the Yankee government retribution to hang
him.
Civilians, newspapers, authors of novels were all full of their
selves with propaganda of Yankees. In military prisons in the
confederacy, congress gave offi cial sanction to the propaganda
campaign, right up to the presidency. The Yankee sanitary
commission published a narrative of Yankee prisoners in
southern prisons and found that all of the atrocity tales told at
the time were found to be exaggerated and fabricated false
hoods which infl amed the sick minds of northern people to
an extent of enlarging the false tales from one to the other on
down the line that got larger and larger up until and after the
end of that war. To the extent to help justify a vengeful and
vindictive occupation policy of reconstruction imposed by the
north at the end of and after that war.
Many a Yankee author of fi ctional novels fi lled their pockets
with money from the sick minds of Yankees who ate up
reading the fabricated lies. During and after the war northern
press described Henry Wirz as a monster and a beast,
which he was nothing of the kind. During the war crime trial
by the Yankees of Wirz the protector could not prove any of
the charges against him, but the Yankee judicial system and
Yankee politics would not allow but a few witnesses. In his
behalf and even without any damning evidence against him
he was politically hung until dead. The best and most reliable
evidence on prisons and prisoners was by adjutant General
F.C. Ainsworth in 1903 from Yankee and Confederate prisons.
A morality rate of northern prisons was 16% of confederate
prisoners as compared to less than 7% of Yankee prisoners
for the south.
