The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein 

Wikimedia Commons Photo 

Robert Anson Heinlein (July 7, 1907 – May 8, 1988) was an 

American science-fiction writer. Often called the “dean of science 

fiction writers”,his controversial works continue to have an influential 

effect on the genre, and on modern culture more generally. 

Heinlein became one of the first science-fiction writers to break into 

mainstream magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post in the 

late 1940s. He was one of the best-selling science-fiction novelists 

for many decades, and he, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke 

are often considered the “Big Three” of science fiction authors. 

Among his most famous novels are the literary classic Stranger in 

a Strange Land,Starship Troopers, which helped create the space 

marine and mecha archetypes, and the libertarian novel The Moon 

is a Harsh Mistress.

Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce 

by Colleen Brown 

Two exciting things for Perquimans County! Both construction projects: 

one is fi nished and one is nearing completion. 

If you haven’t driven out Church Street through Hertford to Highway 17 

recently, you may not have noticed how good the new library building 

looks. The roof is on, the exterior brick façade is going up and, if you 

stop and look though the open window holes, you can see some interior 

walls. What a tremendous thing for the county! Every time I’ve been in 

the existing Library on west Academy Street it has been full of people – 

browsing books, chatting with the librarians, sitting at computers, or participating 

in one of the many public programs the library sponsors. The 

children’s section is always alive with youngsters reading, being read to, 

playing with the educational toys that can be checked out or gathered 

on a rug watching a movie. I can attest to the fact that the library has 

outgrown the current building and, if the wonderful staff can offer all 

these opportunities to Perquimans residents and visitors with their limited 

space, I can only imagine what will happen when they have a large new 

building to fi ll! 

Even if you have not noticed the library building going up behind it’s 

chain link fence, I know you must have heard about the new boat ramp 

out in the Hertford Boating Access Area at 310 Granby Street. I was out 

there just a few weeks ago and the construction was well underway, but 

I never dreamed that it would be open and operating this quickly! I was 

out there this morning and there was a boat tied up and a man backing 

his boat trailer into the water to retrieve it. I wandered out onto the fl oating 

dock which rocked gently under my steps and had a beautiful view 

across the water to the Jim “Catfi sh” Hunter bridge. I can brag about 

how pretty the new boat ramp (and the river) is all day, but it is also large 

enough that the pickup truck with the boat trailer looked small. There 

was plenty of room for another truck that size on the ramp, so there was 

ample space for a much larger boat to be gently fl oated into the river or 

towed free of the water. The new parking lot was cleanly paved and the 

site still had ample room for, I don’t know, a small restaurant or shop? 

Just a thought. What a nice way to enjoy one of Perquimans County’s 

primary attractions – it’s waterways! 

Another Kind of Groundnut 

by: Coy Domecq 

The local agriculture season is well underway and fi elds of peanuts 

populate the landscape throughout the region. In addition to our popular 

goober, another kind of local edible groundnut, though not commonly 

cultivated commercially, is known by the not-so-creative name of 

Groundnut (Apios americana). It is also called potato bean and Indian 

potato. This plant is native to the US and is primarily found in the 

central and eastern parts of the North American continent. It grows 

along stream banks, pond margins and in damp lowland thickets. Native 

Americans incorporated the groundnut into their diet in every group that 

lived within the plant’s range. It is a twining plant that spreads by way of 

its underground rhizomes. This plant grows so aggressively that it could 

be considered invasive under ideal natural conditions. 

The ground part of the nut is actually the edible tubers distributed along 

the roots. The above ground bean-like pods are also eaten. The taste 

is often described as nutty and sweet. Nutritionally, it has approximately 

three times the protein than a potato. It is an excellent source of calcium 

and iron. Medicinally, research studies in non-human test subjects have 

demonstrated marked benefi cial effect in reducing cholesterol, blood 

pressure, and diabetes. It also demonstrates indirect positive effect, via 

metabolic pathway enhancement, in its antioxidant content. 

The Groundnut plants parts should be cooked before eating them as 

the heat denatures, or deactivates, components in raw tubers that may 

affect the health of some individuals. 

Education begins the gentleman, 

but reading, good company and 

refl ection must fi nish him.

Take Control of Your Health Now with Personalized Integrative 

Medicine and Primary Care 

Do you want to help your loved one lose weight and live healthy? 

Are you frustrated when fatigue, stress, and old habits hinder 

your ability to spend time with your kids? This month, a new direct 

access primary care clinic is opening in Elizabeth City. Now 

you can receive preventative care and important check-ups that 

may have lingered on your to-do list or seemed cost-prohibitive 

before. 

Dr, Nina Lucas of Bethesda Integrative Medicine, 905 Halstead 

Blvd, incorporates personalized wellness coaching in her primary 

care treatment plans. Lucas believes understanding nutrition, 

movement, rest, and exercise, personal and professional development, 

environment, relationships, spiritual principles, and 

mind/body awareness helps you take steps to engage in healing. 

This strikes at the root instead of hacking at the branches. 

Lucas, a Tulane University graduate and mother of four, practiced 

medicine at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippe 

before moving to Elizabeth City in 2009. Her dream of practicing 

integrative medicine began in residence and complements her 

desire to provide affordable access to quality care. 

For the price of a gym membership, clients receive routine 

health visits with little or no wait time. Help is available by phone, 

text, or video chat when the office is closed. Instead of visiting 

a crowded urgent care center for an extended period of time, 

Dr. Lucas can see you promptly and get you out the door. Your 

health care costs are lowered since insurance is not accepted. 

If you are looking for a primary care physician to help you stay 

on track with your health goals and have peace of mind for the 

future, connect with Dr. Lucas at 252 336 8788. You may be just 

a few questions a way from a breakthrough in you or your family’s 

well-being.

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

Lately I’ve described some edible substances as fake 

food. Let’s analyze that. According to the USDA/FDA 

fake foods are edible substances that provide energy 

but little or no nutrition. They are described generally 

as empty calories. Empty calories and empty carbohydrates 

function synchronously. Some forms of 

carbohydrates are sugar which includes: fructose,glucose,and 

lactose, and are considered simple and has 

a negative impact. And some are starches such as: 

potatoes,corn,grains,rice, and cereals, and are considered 

complex. When complex carbs are deeply refi ned 

they are easily digested by the body, and has the same 

negative impact as simple. 

Those complex carbs that are deeply refi ned and 

processed are primarily fake food. The consumption of 

fake food is linked to what is identifi ed as the “Glycemic 

Index”. The Glycemic Index is the measurement of 

how your body processes carbohydrates and turns it to 

usable blood sugar/glucose and distributes it to every 

cell in the body. Far from innocuous, fake foods result in 

irritability, mood swings, obesity and the big one infl ammation. 

Chronic infl ammation has been linked to heart 

disease, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and 

cancer. All prominent in Northeast North Carolina. Look 

for low Glycemic numbers and make sure your snacks 

have plenty of fi ber . 

As a lot of my friends and colleagues are aware, I retired 

from the USDA/ FSIS/ Standards and Labeling Division. 

Time to provide a little more background. I began 

my food safety career as one of the NY State Inspectors 

that initiated inspection in New York City and it included 

every facet of food processing including watching 

sausage being made (lol). After about 5 years, NY State 

ended inspection and we were absorbed by the USDA. I 

was assigned as the Inspector -In -Charge in a circuit in

rural upstate N.Y. From there I was promoted to headquarters 

in D.C. I spent 15 years inside the beltway, 

fi nishing up as senior staff in the Clinton Administration. 

I’m very familiar with the workings of the USDA. I guess 

you can say I brought my talents to the Albemarle. 

That segues perfectly to the quest of northeast N.C. 

Being “The organic capital of the world” . I envision 

hundreds of spin farms no larger than 1-2 acres producing 

tons of organic produce. The USDA will provide 

resources and expertise for organic enterprises. The 

sustainability of organic enterprises depend upon our 

higher education institutions (COA and ECSU) including 

agriculture enterprises as part of their curriculum. The 

feedback I’m receiving from the young folks in this community 

convinces me that the organic sector is the way 

to go. I’ll continue to promote the initiative. 

Finally, I’m receiving almost daily food safety recall 

notices and press releases. I’ll be devoting a paragraph 

or so to the ones I feel pertinent. 

Remember, clean nutritious food is essential to your 

health and quality of life.

ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY - WORDS OF THE DESERT FATHERS 

Generally considered the father of Christian monasticism, 

Anthony the Great was born the son of peasant farmers in 

central Egypt c. A.D. 251. In about his twentieth year Anthony 

heard read in church the Gospel “Go, sell all that you 

have and give to the poor, and come follow me.” Applying 

the passage to himself, he departed into the desert and 

devoted himself to a life of asceticism. In the course of time 

Anthony’s reputation attracted followers and c. 385 he came 

out of his solitude to act as their spiritual father. Five years 

later he again retired into solitude. 

The Apothegmata Patrum (The Sayings of the Desert 

Fathers), much read and venerated among the Orthodox 

peoples, is a collection of words collected by disciples of 

Anthony and of holy men and women of the ancient Desert 

who followed in his way; these have been passed down 

through the centuries. The unflinching honesty and obedience 

to the word and spirit of the Gospel from which these 

ancient sayings spring may be difficult for the modern reader 

to assimilate. There is no attempt at discursive exposition in 

the Sayings; the monks were mostly simple, unlettered men. 

Their words were practical, given succinctly to a particular 

monk or a small group in a particular situation; they are not 

general principles to be applied indiscriminately. They proceed 

from lives of radical simplicity and common sense: in 

the words of Mother Benedicta Ward, translator of a popular 

selection of the Sayings, “The essence of the spirituality of 

the desert is that it was not taught but caught; it was a whole 

way of life. It was not an esoteric doctrine…. They did not 

have a systematic way; they had the hard work and experience 

of a lifetime of striving to re-direct every aspect of 

body, mind, and soul to God.” 

And in the words of Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh: 

Modern man seeks mainly for ‘experience—putting himself 

at the center of things he wishes to make them subservient 

to this aim…, even God becomes the source from which 

the highest experience flows, instead of being Him Whom 

Adding value to our economy 

By Laura Bush Jenkins 

With dogged determination and joyful anticipation of a 

new baby, newlyweds Javier and Edith Lopez invested 

their hard-earned savings in the purchase of a modest 

yellow van and two construction ladders. Starting 

their business in suburban Raleigh was a step of faith 

for Edith, but soon, she accompanied her husband 

on estimates, providing translation to customers and 

home-builders as Javier’s mastery of English grew. 

Within a year, word of Lopez’s quality workmanship 

spread and three more vans were needed to keep up 

with commercial and residential painting requests. 

Through a conversation with a good friend, Javier 

discovered help was needed at Albemarle Plantation’s 

Marina Villas. Enhancing the luxury condos within 

view of the Albemarle Sound and walking distance to 

a full-service marina began a ten-plus year partnership 

at the facility and shifted his business to the Coast. 

On the weekend his son Alex graduated from high 

school, Javier surprised his family with the purchase of 

a home in Elizabeth City. The Lopezes officially moved 

we adore, worship, and are prepared to serve, whatever the 

cost to us. Such an attitude was unknown to the Desert; 

moreover, the desert repudiated it as sacrilegious… 

“These were men and women who had reached a humility 

of which we have no idea…. They were ascetics, ruthless 

to themselves, yet so human, so immensely compassionate 

not only to the needs of men but also to their frailty and their 

sins; men and women wrapped in a depth of inner silence 

of which we have no idea and who taught by ‘Being’, not 

by speech: ‘If a man cannot understand my silence, he will 

never understand my words.’ ” 

…………………………….. 

Words of St. Anthony the Great (born circa A.D. 251) 

The brethren came to Abba Anthony and said to him, 

“Speak a word; how are we to be saved?” The old man said 

to them, “You have heard the Scriptures. That should teach 

you how.” But they said, “We want to hear from you, too, 

Father.” Then the old man said to them, “The Gospel says, 

“if anyone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other 

also” (Matt. 5:39). They said, “We cannot do that.” The 

old man said, “If you cannot offer the other cheek, at least 

allow one cheek to be struck.” “We cannot do that either,” 

they said. So he said, “If you are not able to do that, do not 

return evil for evil,” and they said, “We cannot do that either.” 

Then the old man said to his disciple, “Prepare a little brew 

of corn for these invalids. If you cannot do this, or that, what 

can I do for you? What you need is prayers.” 

……………………………………… 

A brother said to Abba Anthony, “Pray for me.” The old man 

said to him, “I will have no mercy upon you, nor will God 

have any, if you yourself do not make an effort and if you do 

not pray to God.”

……………………………………… 

He also said, “Our life is with our neighbor. If we gain our 

brother, we have gained God, but if we scandalize our brother, 

we have sinned against Christ.” 

…………………………………….. 

Abba Anthony said to Abba Poemen, “This is the great work 

of a man: always to take the blame for his own sins before 

God and to expect temptation to his last breath.” 

………………………………………………. 

Abba Anthony said, “I saw the snares that the enemy 

spreads out over the world and I said groaning, ‘What can 

get through from such snares?’ Then I heard a voice saying 

to me, ‘Humility.’”

Firearms and the Law 

by Joe Forbes 

A few weeks ago, a gentleman came into the office concerning 

a firearms matter. He disclosed that he had previously 

been convicted of Assault on a Female against his former 

wife, but that he still possessed firearms, and planned 

to buy more. He was floored when I told him that he was 

legally ineligible to own a firearm now or in the future. This 

month’s article is presented as a warning to others in a similar 

situation. It is not the purpose of this article to judge the 

fairness or reasonableness of the law, but to simply inform 

the reader of its existence. 

It is common knowledge that the law prohibits felons, 

drug addicts, illegal aliens, and those adjudicated mentally 

defective from having guns. But 18 USC 922 also prohibits 

the possession, transporting or receiving of any firearm or 

ammunition by anyone who has EVER been convicted of a 

“misdemeanor crime of domestic violence”. 

According to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms 

website, that term is defined as : 

(1) is a misdemeanor under Federal, State, or Tribal law; 

(2) has, as an element, the use or attempted use of physical 

force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon; and 

(3) was committed by a current or former spouse, parent, 

or guardian of the victim, by a person with whom the victim 

shares a child in common, by a person who is cohabiting 

with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse, parent, 

or guardian, or by a person similarly situated to a spouse, 

parent, or guardian of the victim. 

However, a person is not considered to have been convicted 

of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence unless: 

(1) the person was represented by counsel in the case, 

or knowingly and intelligently waived the right of counsel in 

the case; and 

(2) in the case of a prosecution for which a person was 

entitled to a jurycase was tried, either – 

(a) the case was tried by a jury, or 

(b) the person knowingly and intelligently waived the 

right to have the case tried by a jury, by guilty plea 

or otherwise. 

In addition, a conviction would not be disabling if it has 

been expunged or set aside, or is an offense for which the 

person has been pardoned or has had civil rights restored 

(if the law of the jurisdiction in which the proceedings were 

held provides for the loss of civil rights upon conviction for 

such an offense) unless the pardon, expunction, or restoration 

of civil rights expressly provides that the person may 

not ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms, and the 

person is not otherwise prohibited by the law of the jurisdiction 

in which the proceedings were held from receiving or 

possessing firearms. 

(Definition copied directly from the ATF website). 

North Carolina does not provide for the loss of rights for 

conviction of a misdemeanor, so the exemption described in 

the last paragraph does not apply. ATF specifically says that 

the rights must have been first lost, then restored for that 

exemption to apply. 

The bottom line is that if you have EVER been convicted 

of a crime of domestic violence as described above, federal 

law prohibits you from even possessing a firearm FOREV- 

ER. This is the sort of obscure, seldom enforced law that 

suddenly gets trotted out when law-enforcement wants to 

“nail” someone for something that may or may not have 

anything to do with firearms. (Do not confuse this with being 

subject to a civil domestic violence restraining order, where 

the law bans possession only while the order is in effect.) 

The ONLY way to have your rights restored for an NC 

conviction of anything involving assault is to be granted a 

pardon from the Governor. The NC expunction statute (GS 

15A-145 et. seq.) specifically excludes assaults. The ATF 

office that processed applications for restoration of rights

WHY DO WE NOT CARE?? 

By--JIM KAIGHN CLU,CHFC,RHU,AABA BSBA 

In most of my 50 years in the insurance business, 

one thing bothers me.. Why people do not 

care about the type of insurance they have or 

if they carry any at all.. I imagine their nonchalant 

attitude might be because of their parents 

having the same attitude and maybe even their 

grandparents. But, really the main factor in this 

attitude is that insurance of any kind is never 

taught in middle grade school, high school or 

even college, unless you major in business or 

fi nance..Yet as soon as a person leaves school, 

either high school or college, they are faced with 

insurance issues for the rest of their lives. Let’s 

see, there is car insurance, homeowners or renters 

insurance, health insurance ( what a fi asco 

that has become) ,life insurance, workmans 

comp.,business insurance, liability, umbrella 

coverage and many more.. The only people with 

any knowledge of insurance are the so-called 

agents who sell it. They did not learn about 

insurance in schools, no we had to learn from 

our company after wee studied and past state 

approved test to get our license, and then get 

appointed with companies we wanted to work 

for.. So, people fi gure why should I learn about 

insurance, my agent is an EXPERT, ha ha ha!!! 

That is what the agent wants you to believe, 

How are you to know if that agent is reputable?? 

What would make them more reputable, is if 

the person had basic knowledge of the type of 

insurance they are buying. The internet can 

give folks basic info, so they will not be at the 

mercy of an agent giving them bad advice. They 

trust the agent to tell them the truth about the 

best plan for them depending on their need. An 

agent who only works for one company can not 

shop around for the best idea, an agent ,like 

myself, works with many companies can shop 

around..But still, that does not solve the problem 

of a lack of knowledge on the consumers part.. 

They do not know what questions to ask, most 

of the time they will not be given an explanation 

of the coverage, just taking the agent’s word for 

it (TRUST ME!!!) 

The more knowledge a person has, the better 

off they can defend themselves to make sure 

they understand..Most guys I know ,understand 

more about their cars or trucks or hunting or 

fi shing.. for a good reason.. they were raised in 

this environment..KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!! 

Schools will not in the foreseeable future will 

not change, people have to make the effort to 

change themselves.. One of the biggest problems 

people run into is investing their money in 

the stock market or mutual funds, again taking 

the advice off an EXPERT, on how to lose your 

money and still pay them their commission.. This 

matter I will take up nest month 

If anyone has any questions for me on ANY 

insurance matter, I can be reached at 252 335 

5983 or 252 202 5983, or e-mail at “insdr@ 

roadrunner.com..Check out my web site at 

WWW.INSDRJIM.COM.. I live in Elizabeth City 

,N.C.and I make “HOUSE CALLS”, since I am 

the Insurance Doctor..Thought of the month: 

If you compare yourself with others you may 

become vain and bitter: for always there will be 

greater and lesser persons than yourself..HAP- 

PY TRAILS TO YOU!!!

Auto Insurance 

by: Danny Glover 

There are basically 4 ways your automobile insurance 

can increase. Most insurance premium increases last 

three years from the time they begin, which normally 

occurs at the first premium increase following the 

occurrence of the event that triggers the increase. 

1. You add a new, inexperienced or bad driver to 

your policy. 

2. An At Fault Accident. In most cases, if you 

are at-fault in causing an accident or collision, your 

insurance rates will go up. If you are not at fault, your 

rates will not go up. Even when you are at fault, your 

rates will not go up IF ALL of the following conditions 

are met: 

* There is property damage only; 

* The amount of damage is $1,850 or less; 

* There is no conviction for a moving violation in 

connection with the accident; 

* No licensed operators in the household have 

convictions or at fault accidents during the experience 

period. (An insurance company may require that the 

insured be covered by that company for six continuous 

months.) 

1. Ceded to the NC Reinsurance Facility. This one 

is the most complicated, and the most unfair one. 

All of the automobile insurance companies that do 

business in North Carolina belong to the N.C. Reinsurance 

Facility. This consortium provides a mechanism 

for pooling of insurance risks who cannot obtain 

coverage by ordinary methods. Premiums, losses, 

and expenses are shared by the member companies 

in proportion to their respective North Carolina automobile 

liability insurance writings. What this means 

to you is this: an insurance company can decide, for 

basically any reason, that you are a “risky driver”, i.e., 

car color, tattoos, piercing, number of claims paid, 

numerous dismissed driving tickets, etc. When you 

are “ceded”, then your premiums go up drastically. 

Your only recourse is to shop your coverage around to 

different carriers in hopes that those carriers will not 

view you as a “risky driver” that needs to be ceded. 

2. Conviction of a Moving Violation. The North 

Carolina SDIP (Safe Driver Incentive Plan) provides a 

points system for driving convictions that equates to 

a certain percentage increase in your premium rates. 

You can fi nd that rate increase chart by googling “NC- 

DOI SDIP”. A good lawyer can either get your ticket 

dismissed so that you get no SDIP points (which are 

different than DMV points), or get it reduced to something 

that will carry no, or fewer, SDIP points.

Dear Dr. Crime: Our NC Legislature may change our 

law about juvenile or adult court for bad kids. I say kick 

their something so they will learn that pain follows bad 

behavior. Putting bad kids in juvenile court won’t protect 

me and will cost us more tax money. Please tell our legislators 

to back off the “Raise the Age” bill. 

Upset Taxpayer 

Dear Taxing: By now the NC General Assembly will 

have decided this, but the issue of punitive vs. behavior 

change policy remains. This is a perfect example of 

my argument that we should decide what we want to 

accomplish and follow the objective, empirical research 

by those wonderful criminologists. Here the outcome is 

to produce fewer victims in the future, reduce the harm 

to everyone involved, hold down costs, and impact the 

kid so he/she can make it a better world. Giving him/ 

her what they deserve is not a social outcome we should 

allow to, alone, determine judicial policy. I get as mad as 

you but let’s use research, not emotion, guide us. 






Dog Gone 

Some of the empirical basis of my argument follows. 

The US Dept. of Justicei, using large cities from 1994- 

2000, studied changes in policing, adult incarceration, 

juvenile detention, and waivers of juveniles to adult 

court for the impact on reduced juvenile violence. They 

reported little or no evidence of benefi cial effects from 

incarceration of juveniles with adults, the detention of 

juveniles, and waivers of juveniles to adult court. If our 

NC law passes, how much will we spend on juvenile 

cases changed to adult cases if as juvenile cases such 

future cases might be prevented? Just months ago a 

studyii reported national estimates of judicial services as 

follows: (in 2010 dollars, for single crimes) $22,000– 

$44,000 (homicide), $2000–$5000 (rape and sexual 

assault), $600–$1300 (robbery), $800–$2100 (aggravated 

assault), $200–$600 (burglary), $300–$600 (larceny/ 

theft), and $200–$400 (motor vehicle theft). These 

fi gures do not include all the other costs! The US Dept. 

of Justiceiii studied the consequences of youth being victims 

of such crimes and found the impact of such crimes 

carries into adulthood and causes adult behaviors that 

are tragic and costly. Such outcomes include the victim 

becoming a criminal, using drugs, having mental health 

problems. How often do they reoffend if sentenced as 

an adult? Sentencing Partnersiv, a private law fi rm, reported 

on a large number of federal offenders and found 

that in the highest criminal history status 80% committed 

more crimes, usually within 2 years of release from prison 

or probation. Does this matter? Economistsv, over a 

decade ago, found the overall crime cost to our nation to 

be more than one Trillion dollars a year (in 1999 bucks 

that is + $ 1,000,000,000,000, which could give us a 

great tax break!) If my logic is wrong, that everyone 

is better off in terms of life events if we prevent crimes 

rather than get our retribution, write to me and explain 

your logic. 

Dear Dr. Crime: How do I find an attorney to help me? 

Messed up fellow 

Dear Mess: There are several honest ways. One is 

the NC State Bar Association. Go to https://www.ncbar. 

gov/ . Another is the National Association of Criminal 

Defense Lawyers (NACDL). Go to https://www.nacdl. 

org/. If your issue is a criminal matter for which you have 

been arrested, I recommend the (NACDL). Or you can 

get in contact with me and I will refer you to an attorney 

I know. My most important advice is to get your attorney 

as soon as possible.

Chowanoke History 

by Duvonya Chavis 

Mounds generally are telling of the 

size or population of a Native society 

that existed during an early period in 

history. While an untold number of 

mounds across the United States, literally 

tens of thousands, were constructed 

long before colonialism, only about 

500 Adena sites or mounds have been 

uncovered by archaeologists. These 

mounds were noted in Ohio, Vermont, 

New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 

Maryland and West Virginia. Others 

have been written about, particularly 

in the Mississippi and Ohio regions. 

Mounds were constructed by American 

Indians to house the remains of 

the dead and contained shells, many 

artifacts and revealed burial practices. 

Some mounds still exist and are as 

large as a thousand feet in diameter 

and 65 feet high while the Serpent 

Mound in Ohio is over 1,300 feet long, 

4 -5 feet high and 20 to 25 feet wide. 

These mounds are reflective of a 

society having a large population and 

an exceptionally high level of political 

or social refinement. Accomplishing 

the construction of such a massive 

structure would not have been possible 

otherwise. Large mounds were also an 

indication of a sedentary society that 

had a sophisticated control of resources. 

All across America, these mounds 

existed. 

The Chowanoke had a very large 

mound in one of their villages and was 

described in detail by Dr. Richard Dillard. 

While this was not the only mound 

that existed as several smaller mounds 

have been noted among the Chowanoke, 

this one apparently deserved 

a noteworthy description. Dr. Dillard 

wrote “One of the largest and most 

remarkable Indian mounds in Eastern 

North Carolina is located at Bandon 

on the Chowan, evidently the site of 

the ancient town of the Chowanokes 

which Grenville’s party visited in 1585 

and was called Mavaton…..the mound 

extends along the riverbank five or six 

hundred yards, is sixty yards wide and 

five feet deep, covered with about one 

foot of sand and soil. It is composed almost 

exclusively of mussel shells taken 

from the river, pieces of pottery, ashes, 

arrowheads and human bones….” 

Duvonya, a Chowanoke Indian 

descendant, is President of Roanoke-Chowan 

Native American Association, 

a non-profit 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.

Gun Tips 

When are you right and when are you wrong? What I 

am writing about is, in my view, did you select the right 

fi rearm for your purpose. A known trainer has said that a 

gun is not comfortable, it is comforting. Yep, that is true at 

least in my case. My carry piece and spare mags weigh in 

at a shade over three pounds. However, after some hours 

it is uncomfortable. The leather belt I use has begun to 

soften and stretch so I am thinking about options. The nice 

part of having options is that I can ponder and at the same 

time enjoy my leather work hobby. I think that by doubling 

the leather on the carry side, the holster will stay in place 

and close to the body. We will see. One drill for hand guns 

and long guns is to hold it at arms length for a minute. If you 

feel strain you are either out of shape or you may have too 

much gun. Without getting into who makes what there are 

choices in small, medium, and large guns. You are the one 

who must decide what is best and if the ammo is available. 

AND, does the piece fi t in and or does it get lost in your 

hand? Generally speaking, I feel that situational awareness 

comes to the fore. This means to me that I know where 

I am and know where and how to access my gun. Now, 

ladies you have the purse for additional items. Since you 

ladies are visual and me being just an ordinary guy I barely 

understand you all are organized and know exactly where 

your stuff is. Well, stuff gets moved around and therein is a 

problem to guard against. The only thing in the trigger guard 

should be the index fi nger any other object is not acceptable. 

Some guns can discharge with little pressure. Uncontrolled 

discharge will land you in a heap of legal trouble. Oh, by the 

way, guys, shoving a gun into the pocket can also cause 

pain and a lot of damage. Get a pocket holster and forgo 

the grief. By the way, I am looking forward to meeting you 

readers and speaking with you on 6/27.

“I At Last Know What Modern War Is”: 

A Doughboy’s Perspective of Life on the Western Front 

By: David Bennett, Curator at the Port o’ Plymouth Museum 

On September 10, 1918, Private First Class Miles F. 

Sawyer penned a letter home to Plymouth, North Carolina, 

after experiencing his fi rst combat rotation with the 

119th Infantry Regiment in France. His letter provides 

insights into a man coming to grips with modern warfare. 

Sawyer made his fi rst march into the trenches under the 

cover of darkness. It was an eerie and terrifying experience 

as fl ares illuminated the landscape while machine 

guns raked the trench parapets and artillery shells burst 

all around them. “The night was black,” Sawyer wrote, “I 

had no idea where we were going.” “It seemed miles that 

we followed the zig-zag trench. The constant detonations 

of bursting shells fi lled me with alarm until I grew accustomed 

to them and made up my mind that they weren’t for 

me.” When Sawyer fi nally reached the frontline he could 

not resist peering over the parapet and into No Man’s 

Land. “A thrill passed thru me,” he wrote. “I at last know 

what modern war is…The horror of war cast a shroud 

over me.” Sawyer spent the rest of his letter highlighting 

the consequences of industrialized warfare. 

Conditions in the trenches were diffi cult. Sawyer found 

that he could only sleep during the day when the air was 

warm and quiet. The nights were cold and disturbed by 

bombardments and enemy raids. There was little potable 

water at the front so he was reduced to boiling water gathered 

from shell holes. Lice became a constant companion. 

Lack of comfort was inconsequential when compared to 

the omnipresence of death: “I have experienced the hell of 

this war; the deafening burst of shells that shake you from 

head to foot; that constant strain of a possible gas attack 

and the fatigue and long vigils…we have feelings of horror 

pass over us when our comrades fall; we wince when we 

see them suffer pain.” 

Though he suffered, Sawyer believed that he was fi ghting 

for freedom and justice. If necessary, Sawyer wrote, he 

would give his life for the cause of freedom. 

Fortunately, Sawyer survived the war, but not unscathed. 

On September 29, 1918, Sawyer was severely wounded 

in combat when the 119th Infantry Regiment broke the 

Hindenburg Line at its strongest point. He eventually recovered 

from his wounds and was honorably discharged 

from the Army with partial disability.

- John Locke 

Sawyer’s house of furniture inc. was established September 

of 1955. 

Three brothers, C.L., Calvin and William Sawyer, the 

original owners were embarking on a business venture 

fulfi lling their “American dream”. Originally from Sandy 

Hook in Camden North Carolina they came from a family 

of eight siblings and were raised on a farm that survived 

the great depression and many other turbulent times. Many 

hours were invested and hard work was no stranger to the 

brothers but it paid off. Sawyer’s house of furniture was 

more than a business, it was a place where all kinds of 

stories were told and the politics of the day were discussed. 

Families excitedly came to pick out furnishings for their fi rst 

home. First-time buyers were given credit with a smile and 

a handshake. In many cases, the terms were $5 down and 

$10 per month. This allowed many to enjoy the America of 

that time where good paying jobs were plentiful and people 

were grateful for the blessings of God. Early on the three 

brothers did it all including the delivery and setup of countless 

products. Merchandise for sale ranged from hair dryers 

and blenders to lawn mowers, gas logs and of course 

furniture of all kinds. The fi rst location was on Hughes Blvd 

across from the old cotton mill. The business comprised of 

a warehouse and 3 individual buildings with no air conditioning. 

Over the years those buildings including a house were 

joined together to form a winding path of constantly changing 

furniture selections. Since 1955 quality and reasonable 

prices were always part of the brother’s policy with customer 

satisfaction being the primary goal. Every customer was 

treated as if they were a part of the family and was treated 

fairly. The store thrived thanks to the community and the 

many loyal customers. As a result, many hard working 

employees were able to support their families. In 1979 C.L. 

Sawyer decided to retire leaving Calvin and William to continue 

with a business that had become a pillar of Elizabeth 

City. The brothers worked together as Calvin managed the 

offi ce and William managed the sales fl oor and delivery 

department. As the economy in the 80’s thrived so did the 

store. By this time generational customers were following 

in the footprints of their parents having fond memories of 

coming in the store with their parents. Furniture stores have 

come and gone but Sawyers seemed to be the only deal in 

town. In 1993 Calvin retired leaving William as sole owner. 

On valentines day 1996 a fi re started in the warehouse. 

with plenty of materials to burn and appliance compressors 

exploding like bombs the warehouse burned to the 

ground. The smoke was seen all over Elizabeth City and 

a few vehicles were burned up. The main showroom was 

evacuated but was spared by the grace of God. William had 

always dreamed of building a brand new store and the fi re 

accelerated that dream. In 1998 a new building and warehouse 

was built and was ready for business in 1999. The 

new building was the size of a football fi eld having 35,000 

square feet of showroom. With continuing support from the 

community, the large showroom was fi lled to capacity. 

Over the years the children of William had become 

increasing more involved in the business. William wanted 

to spend more time with his wife Ventrice wanted to 

retire. It wasn’t easy for him because it took three times to 

retire before it stuck in 2013. At that time William turned 

the reigns over completely to the next generation with his 

blessing. Sadly on February 23rd, 2015, William (Goldbaby) 

Sawyer, 86 passed away surrounded by his wife Ventrice 

and six children, Wade, Karen, Janet, Coston, Bryant, and 

Neil. September of that year the store celebrated its 60th 

anniversary. A page in history was turned. 

Customers still come into the store this very day and 

talk fondly about William and many have stories to tell. At 

present, the furniture store is run by the children making 

the tough decisions and trying to continue the legacy left 

behind focusing on reasonably priced quality goods and 

good customer service. 


R 

Wilbert Fleming, My Dad 

By Jimmy Fleming mrfl emz@embarqmail.com 

With Memorial Day and Father’s Day coming soon, I 

felt compelled to tell a little bit about my dad. William 

Wilbert Fleming was born February 10, 1916 in Johnston 

County, NC in the small town of Pine Level. The 

youngest child of six children born to James William 

Fleming and Daisy Mae Hines. He never knew his 

father who died on December 5, 1915 at age 35 from 

typhoid Pneumonia. Tragedy struck the family again 

when the mother of the children died on May 7, 1920 

during a Flu epidemic. She had just recently turned 39 

years old and her youngest son Wilbert was only 4. 

The children were sent to the Baptist Children’s Home 

in Middlesex, NC where they became part of the choir. 

This gave them the opportunity to travel around the 

state to sing at churches. It was during one of these 

trips that the children were introduced to the people of 

Tyrrell County. His sister Pearl was discharged from the 

Children’s Home in 1925 and moved to Tyrrell County 

where she married Roy E. Roughton. His brother John 

Robert ran away from the home to join Pearl while 

Wilbert and his sister Sarah were discharged from the 

Children’s Home in 1931 and joined the others in Tyrrell 

County. Over the next several years Wilbert lived with 

the Dennis Spencer family where he was treated well 

and completed school at Columbia High. He loved 

baseball and excelled at it through school and in local 

league ball. Shortly after graduation he got a job with 

the post office in Columbia in 1937 as a postal clerk. He 

remained at this job until he was called to serve in the 

military during World War II on August 7, 1941. During 

the war he served in the Asiatic Theater with the 7th 

and 20th Air Force as a Supply Sergeant. He received 

several awards including an Asiatic Pacifi c Theater 

Campaign Medal with one Bronze Service Star,

Two Categories 

by Bill Gibbs, Director of ERAU Worldwide Campus Outreach & Base Relations 

American Theater Campaign Medal, American Defense 

Service Medal, and a Conduct Medal. He was honorably 

discharged from the US Air Force on November 

1,1945 and returned to his postal position in Columbia. 

On October 22, 1951 he was reassigned from postal 

clerk to rural letter carrier serving the Soundside and 

Alligator communities of Tyrrell County. On June 26, 

1953 Wilbert and Effi e Gray Voliva drove to Dillon, SC 

and were married by the local justice of the peace. After 

a short honeymoon the couple returned to Columbia 

and rented a home to set up housekeeping. Their fi rst 

child was born on December 23, 1953 and was a son 

that they named James William. Shortly, the young 

couple began plans for building their own home which 

they built on Green Street in the town of Columbia. On 

November 19, 1954 the couple had a second son whom 

they named Wilbert Hal and two years later, another 

son Robin Joel was born on June 16, 1956. 

He continued work with the Post Offi ce until he retired 

due to a heart attack after almost 42 years of service. 

He lived out his retirement years enjoying his children 

and grandchildren until his untimely death on September 

16, 1990 due to lung cancer. He was an excellent 

father and a very good person of whom I have been 

proud of to this day. 

In 2017, for the second year in a row, Embry-Riddle 

Aeronautical University was ranked as the #1 University 

in the United States for Online Degree Programs, as well 

as #1 in Best Online Bachelor’s Programs for Veterans 

by the U.S. News & World Report. ERAU is a private, 

non-profi t, and regionally-accredited institution with over 

130 locations across the globe, including a campus in 

Elizabeth City. The campus, which opened in 2006 on 

the U.S. Coast Guard Base, helps to meet the academic 

needs of active-duty and support personnel. The university 

offers a diverse range of technical degrees, including 

Aeronautics, Technical Management, Homeland Security, 

Engineering, and Unmanned Systems Applications, as 

well as a wide variety of other degrees. 

The U.S. News & World Report’s ranking on Best Colleges 

is a highly sought-after endorsement. Each year, 

college and university administrators across the nation 

keep their fi ngers crossed in the hopes that their institution 

will receive a top ranking. The ranking of a university 

is important because not only can a high ranking infl u- 

ence a student’s school choice, but it may also impact 

the decision of employers who seek the best-trained 

employees, particularly in highly technical fi elds. 

Within the ranking process, U.S. colleges and universities 

are categorized into four types of institutions: National 

Universities, National Liberal Arts Colleges, Regional 

Universities, and Regional Colleges. Academic quality is 

assessed for several indicators associated with academic 

quality and student success. Each school is then 

assigned a weighted score based on seven measures 

that will be entered into the ranking formula: Graduation 

and Retention Rates (22.5%), Undergraduate Academic 

Reputation (22.5%), Faculty Resources (20%), Student 

Selectivity (12.5%), Financial Resources (10%), Graduation 

Rate Performance (7.5%), and Alumni Giving (5%). 

Schools are then ranked based on their scores within 

each category. 

“If you want to get an unbiased opinion on education 

quality, you should consult the U.S. News & World 

Report. If you want to gauge the quality of the academic 

support services a school offers, you need to go on an 

unannounced visit to the college or university you would 

like to attend,” said Dr. Judy Drago, Director of the Elizabeth 

City Campus.

What’s happening in Agriculture in 

Northeastern North Carolina? 

by Shirley B. Brown 

BX Series 

B Series

L Series 

If you are living anywhere in the world today you’ve 

heard about George Washington Carver, an African 

American scientist who made history with his 

research on peanuts, sweet potatoes, and much 

more in the fi eld of agriculture. Today we enjoy 

many products containing peanuts including peanut 

brittle, Snickers bars, peanut butter, cookies and 

other nut containing snacks – that is….unless you 

are dealing with a peanut allergy. Fortunately for 

us, we are blessed to have a “George Washington 

Carver” of today and her name is Dr. Hortense 

Dodo. 

Dr. Dodo is a scientifi c entrepreneur, and an 

inventor, in Elizabeth City, N.C. She is a molecular 

biologist, and university professor. Dr. Dodo 

has developed a patented discovery to eliminate 

allergens from peanuts, one of the most deadly 

food allergies. In the U.S., over four million people 

have reported allergies from peanuts and tree nuts. 

Studies have shown that children living with peanut 

allergies have tripled between the years of 1997 

and 2008, according to the (FARE) Food Allergy 

Research & Education, (FARE). Twenty fi ve to thirty 

billion dollars are spent on food allergies in the 

U.S alone with peanut allergies being a common 

and most severe food allergy. There has been no 

cure for peanut allergies; however there may be a 

solution on the market real soon. 

Dr. DoDo believes she can make this happen. 

She says anyone can be an inventor regardless of 

where you’re from or what your ethnicity background 

is. She believes that teaching science 

can inspire youth to learn how to not only become 

scientist but, also an inventor. Her new task is to 

removing allergens from other foods like fi sh, eggs, 

gluten and even more clean foods in the future. 

As farmers and scientists work together, the world 

will be amazed how the thought of food allergy 

ever existed. There will be one less food allergy 

related to deaths, and more clean foods to keep 

us healthy. Just to think…it all started with the 

peanuts.

For all your Storage Needs 

“No Credit Check” or Buy Now 

Open Letter to My Parents 

Dear Mom and Dad, 

Ruth just left my kitchen after more than an hour of crying. 

You remember my good friend Ruth, don’t you? Her 

children play soccer with Sabrina. 

Yesterday Ruth’s mom died unexpectedly. Do you remember 

several months ago when I told you that Ruth’s 

dad had gone into a nursing home? It was such an 

emotional decision for Ruth’s mom to put her husband 

of more than 40 years into a nursing home. There was 

no way she could continue to care for him anymore. His 

condition had just deteriorated so quickly. Last week he 

didn’t even recognize Ruth or her mom. 

Ruth is really devastated now. Her parents never 

believed in preparing for their old age or death. Ruth’s 

mom never expected to die first. Now, because dad is 

unable to make his own decisions, the court is requiring 

a guardianship. After talking with a lawyer, Ruth learned 

that the guardianship could have been avoided -if only 

her parents had a durable power of attorney and health 

care power of attorney. Now, the guardianship will cost 

thousands of dollars. In addition, the court must be 

consulted for everything! Ruth’s mom never believed in 

going to see a lawyer to plan for her husband’s longterm 

care. Ruth’s mom never had a will either. Ruth 

recently learned that, under North Carolina law, her dad 

gets everything and he loses all his Medicaid benefits. 

Everything that Ruth’s mom had hoped would go to her 

children will now go to the nursing home to pay for Ruth’s 

dad’s care. To make matters worse, the court would not 

By: Stella Knight 

even allow Ruth to be her Dad’s guardian. Apparently, 

her estranged brother objected to her appointment as 

guardian. A lawyer is now looking after Ruth’s dad. It’s 

a lawyer who had never even heard his name before the 

competency hearing. All of this could have been avoided 

if Ruth’s parents had adopted an estate plan that avoided 

or planned for these emergency situations. 

Mom and Dad, I know you value your privacy, but none 

of us has a crystal ball. When God calls us home-it’s 

time. I see the agony that Ruth is going through. She’s 

trying to understand why her parents would not trust her 

in their later years and would not discuss their finances 

with her. Please know that I am not trying to pry. My interest 

in your getting things in order may appear to have 

a selfish aspect to it, but I just want to be sure that you 

are taken care of and things are done as you want them 

to be done. I listen to Ruth and see the tears she has 

shed because of the waste that is taking place. Because 

her parents failed to plan for the unexpected, I am truly 

moved to ask you to make sure that you have a durable 

power of attorney, health care power of attorney, and a 

will or trust. That way, if you were to get sick or die, the 

confusion and cost would not compound my grief. 

You are very precious to Sabrina and me. We look 

forward to sharing many years of fun and joy, as well as 

your wisdom. But, as your oldest child, I am truly moved 

to bring this subject to the forefront. 

Your loving daughter

New Biology Program Comes to Mid-Atlantic Christian University After Valuable Input from Students 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 

If you are applying to college this fall, it can be a frenzied time. 

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by statistics from campus visits 

and glossy literature detailing programs to guide you to success. 

If you are considering a pre-med track, Mid-Atlantic Christian 

University (MACU) is equipping people in our generation to meet 

unique challenges of the healthcare profession while growing 

and developing you as a person. 

Students in the Bachelor of Science in Biology program will 

learn organic chemistry, microbiology, and medical terminology 

from environmental scientist Gerald Woodworth and Dr. James 

Owens, a Jarvisburg family physician and Currituck County medical 

examiner. 

The new biology program came onto the university radar after 

feedback from parents and students revealed the need for a 

forum to “develop personal integrity and an awareness of ethical 

issues” within conventional healthcare training. 

“With advances in research and medical technology, issues 

such as abortion, human genetic engineering, euthanasia, 

rationing of health care, and testing on human subjects will continue 

to come to the forefront of medical treatment,” says MACU 

interim president John Maurice. 

“We want graduates to not merely have the scientifi c knowledge 

of research or healthcare, but to understand the moral implications 

of what they do. We want students to learn there is a difference 

between what can be done and what ought to be done.” 

Maurice cites the impact of 1983 graduate and recent campus 

speaker Dr. Ajai Lall, a pivotal fi gure in Central India Christian 

Mission’s Mission Hospital. The hospital serves over 70,000 

patients yearly regardless of their ability to pay. It is the only 

regional hospital capable of performing cardiac catherization as 

well as cleft lip and palate repair to reconstruct the faces of children 

with birth defects. Last year, they delivered over 600 babies 

and performed 1,000 life-saving surgeries. 

Perhaps you want to become a nurse at a local hospital or practice 

medicine to make a difference. Meet MACU’s professors 

and fi nd out about the next Tuesday tour at 252 334 2000, www. 

macuniversity.edu.

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity has a busy 

summer lined up and we invite you to come 

work with us. Beginning June 12, we will begin 

rehabbing a house in Elizabeth City for Sheronda 

Roundtree and her son. She is a teacher’s 

assistant in the Exceptional Children’s program at 

Pasquotank County High School. She submitted 

her application packet earlier in the year and was 

recently approved by the board following a fi nancial 

review and home visit. 

We need many volunteers to make this happen. 

During this rehab, we will be replacing all electrical, 

plumbing, insulation, windows, and doors. In 

addition, a new kitchen, HVAC system and roof 

will be installed. If you are interested in helping or 

donating materials for this project, please contact 

Jane Elfring, 252-384-0115, for information. 

Our Sale Store at 306 Mill St. has also added additional

Art in the Albemarle Area 

School is nearly over for this 

year and summer is about 

to begin. I hope you are 

ready to try something new 

and different this summer season. By now 

three art shows have taken place in our 

area. The 26th annual miniature art show, 

The Ghost Fleet Gallery “Self-Portrait” art 

show, and the Mollie Fearing Memorial Art 

show. I hope you had the chance to go and 

view one or more of the entries in these 

shows. Currently SPLASH is in full swing 

and going strong in Elizabeth City. Come 

out and view the artists at work, walk 

through the downtown, and try your hand 

at some artwork. 

I have been writing about letting 

yourself go and enjoy viewing art and 

painting for pleasure. Please allow me to 

explain another value to painting... help in 

the healing of your spirit. Not that painting 

will cure you of any diseases but the 

therapeutic value that comes from painting. 

My wife just experienced the passing 

of someone very close to her, her mother, 

on Mother’s Day. We had been sitting 

by the loved one’s bedside for several 

weeks.... during some of that time when I 

wasn’t at the hospital I sat down in front of 

my easel and just started to put paint on 

canvas. I had no preconceived concept of 

what I was painting... I just wet the canvas 

and threw on some paint. It was during 

this time I was able to look back on past 

experiences with our loved one and just 

remember. It gave me a release in a time 

of stress. I really came to terms with our 

circumstances and painting gave me a 

release of those emotions. Painting can 

By:Talmage Dunn 

do this for you also. Let yourself go , put 

colors on canvas, and paint, paint, paint. I 

have included the painting I did during this 

time. 

Now that summer is here, what 

are your children doing over these months 

away from school?Camps? Sports? Vacations? 

Even when going to these acticities 

there is always some form of art going 

on, maybe not painting, but art in some 

form. Allow me to make a suggestion.... art 

camp! If you are fortunate enpough to live 

in the Elizabeth City area... Studio 511 Art 

and Soul has art camps for children and 

classes for adults. In each of our counties 

there are numerous opportunities to take 

classes and enhance your own or your 

children’s artistic talents. I urge you to avail 

yourself of these activities. 

I have recently had the opportunity 

to communicate with people in other 

states about a concept that is an unusual 

hobby. It is spreading across several 

states. Residents are picking up, painting, 

and passing along colorful stones to share 

random acts of kindness. You paint the 

stone, then place it for others to fi nd. Many 

of the stones are hidden in plain sight-- 

on a bench, beside a tree, etc. Finding 

and placing these stones really seems to 

make peoples day. Many find them, post 

pics of the rocks, and them place them 

somewhere else for others to fi nd. Check 

out Northeast ohio Rocks, or Townsend 

Rocks on Facebook , or The Kindness 

Rocks project on the internet. Maybe this 

is just what we need to do to put a smile 

on someone’s face. After all, isn’t that what 

painting does? 

Your goal this week is to put 

some colors on canvas, on paper, or on 

a rock! Its amazing what doing that will 

do for your psyche! I will include a rock 

painting I made in our next issue. Send me 

some of pictures of your artwork... please. 

I will try and incorporate a picture or two 

in the coming months. Next issue …. I 

believe we will be attempting some work 

in acrylics. Until then, stay safe, make a 

painting, and above all else … enjoy yourself. 

Don’t forget the First Friday Art 

Walk in Elizabeth City. Also, check out 

the art classes offered in and around your 

county.

3D printing will change manufacturing. 

by Patricia Laddich - Tech gurl for the 20 something professional 

There’s absolutely every reason to believe that 3D printing 

will change the way things are produced especially in the 

manufacturing industry. 3D printing technology is reshaping 

the world of manufacturing, ushering in a whole new era. 

If you haven’t seen it demonstrated, you may likely think 

that 3-D printing sounds futuristic. However 3-D printing is 

rather straightforward: It is a step beyond spewing toner on 

paper. It involves putting down layers of resin or plastic until 

the layers add up to an object. The procedure includes the 

creation of products by depositing layers of materials (plastic 

or ground metal) to a prototype, after which the material 

is lasered into place. The process is repeated to build the 

required product (which could be anything from replacement 

hips to aircraft engine parts). It is slow, sometimes taking 

hours to make a part. New 3D techniques are on the horizon 

such as SLA 3D printing. SLA uses a polymer liquid which is 

much faster and allows different hardness materials, from a 

soft rubber like a sponge to a hard plastic like nylon. 

What though is the implication of this for manufacturers? 

Will 3D printing revolutionize business models, upset supply 

chains, and improve customer relationships? 

One thing is certain: 3D printing will signifi cantly improve 

business especially in the manufacturing sector. For years 

3D printing has been exclusively in the region of prototyping 

and low-volume items. The technology has not been 

cost-effective enough to effi ciently take on the production 

of high-end products. But 3D printing has an enormous 

potential to impact manufacture, supply chains and shipping 

in the future. 

Improved Customization and Assembly line transformation 

Logistics represents the biggest challenge for most retailing 

companies like Amazon. Warehouse maintenance, stock 

management and shipping orders continue to present a 

challenge. But what if it is possible to cut out all of the hassles; 

move production closer to your customers worldwide, 

demand for an item, and deliver it directly to the consumer? 

Is this feasible? Experts projected that 3D printing would 

bring customization and manufactured product closer to 

customers. That is exactly what Amazon is trying to do. 

Amazon recently fi led a patent application for trucks fi tted 

with 3D printers that will take online orders and produce the 

fi nished item while en-route to the delivery address or at the 

customer’s door. A signifi cant implication of this is that 3D 

printing will eliminate the need for large warehouses housing 

millions of dollars’ worth of stock. Moreover, instead of 

having parts already on hand to ship, a company can send 

the electronic code for making a part to a local 3D printing 

facility. The part can then be made in the same town as the 

end user. The person can then go pick up the part in just a 

couple hours. 

Furthermore, throughout the process of manufacturing, 

the production team must work in close knit with the sales 

teams to meet delivery deadlines. However, with 3D printing, 

the manufacturing process is reduced to a single operation; 

hence the production team is afforded more fl exibility. 

As a result of the increased fl exibility in this new assembly 

line process, sales representatives can complete orders 

quicker and in a greater capacity. Then the entire production 

process can be streamlined and done at a shorter time and 

lower production cost. There will be marked improvement 

in goods customization because modifying them will not 

involve retooling; only tweaking the software instructions. 

Material Cost Savings 

This new technology also has the potential to have a 

substantial effect on the way manufacturers do business 

especially in relation to shifts in material cost, product pricing 

strategies and incremental cost calculations. 3D-printing 

technology can potentially make manufacturing processes 

tremendously precise and infi nite. For instance, today, if you 

need to make a part out of aluminium using what’s known as 

“subtractive process,” the aluminium block is placed into a 

CAD system. The extra material is then cut off to make the 

part. Using this process, almost 70% of the aluminium block 

fi nishes up as scrap subject to the shape and complexity required. 

The excess material is melted and used in the future 

for other manufacturing needs. 3D printing technology, on 

the other hand, is an “additive,” process and manufacturers 

can easily use the smallest of material required to produce a 

part. In essence, a 3D printer could eliminate the process of 

melting down excess scrap material, eventually reducing the 

total costs of materials for the manufacturer. For manufacturers, 

this could potentially reduce capital used to salvage 

scrap or tied up in purchasing raw materials. 

Restructuring supply chains 

Companies globally are always 

looking for ways to get their 

products to the market quicker 

and at the same time become 

more fl exible so as to adapt their 

products to customers and local 

markets. This is where 3D printing 

technology comes into play; by 

localizing manufacturing operations 

and processes, it 3D printing 

signifi cantly impacts the amount 

of inventory companies hold, 

specifi cally low-volume, obsolete 

chunks. 3D printers can be used 

to produce parts that are, and 

businesses will be able to reduce 

costs expended on warehouses 

and factories. Creativity will be 

at the fore as companies will think about new products that 

may not have been possible using old methods. Companies 

will be compelled to examine their production process and 

think about the way they create and design objects as well 

as how such products are distributed to the consumer. 

Conclusion 

The bottom line is that this new technology may not revolutionize 

the manufacturing industry completely, but it sure 

has a vast potential to enable change across businesses — 

irrespective of their size and supply chain. At the moment, 

the impact of 3D printing technology on the manufacturing 

industry is purely theoretical, but business owners and manufacturers 

who decide to disregard the transformational benefi 

ts associated with this technology may fall prey to those 

that embrace it. 3D printing technology continues to grow at 

a fast pace, with continuous progress each day. What began 

as fabrication of small parts and plastic screws made of 

glass has fully developed into full manufacturing of complete 

end-products. The above facts proves that 3D-printing technology 

has endless possibilities for manufacturers

Seven Reasons Not to Use Bleach to Clean Mold 

(Harry Cannon is a mold product patent holder and 

owner of Dwelling Management Solutions) 

1. Bleach does not kill mold. 

2. Bleach was not designed to kill mold, and has 

neve been sold or EPA registered to do so. 

3. There are no professional, certifi ed mold remediators 

who use bleach for killing mold. 

4. Bleach cannot penetrate into mold’s tiny 

hyphae (roots), but the water part of the formula 

will, thus fostering more, even stronger 

mold growth. 

5. Bleach is a very destructive chemical, and it 

literally eats away at the surfaces that it is 

applied to. 

6. Chlorine begins to break down quite quickly 

and consistently after Bleach is manufactured, 

so within a short period of time (2-3 months), 

whatever minute mold cleaning capabilities the 

product had are dwindled away as it awaits to be 

shipped to stores and purchased. 

7. Bleach’s off gassing is hazardous to all fl ora 

and fauna, and mixing bleach with any other 

chemicals can produce extremely toxic vapors. It 

is generally considered unsafe for use in cleaning 

mold. 

Eyebrows raise in disbelief every time I say the 

phrase “bleach doesn’t kill mold.” Some look 

at me as if I’m speaking another language and 

they are right. I am speaking the TRUTH. Bleach

A World-Class Adventurer Visits 

On a wintry day in March, a stranger sailed 

an unusual 13-foot sailboat into the Albemarle 

Planation marina and tied up close to the dock 

master’s office. From the narrow opening of 

the boat’s cockpit emerged a bespectacled, 

gray-bearded man wearing a winter coat and a 

weather-beaten hat. He was the season’s first 

Looper and no doubt the most extraordinary individual 

ever to visit this corner of the world. 

André François Bourbeau is a Professor 

Emeritus at the University of Quebec, where 

he taught Outdoor Adventure and Wilderness 

Survival for 30 years. Nicknamed Doc Survivor 

by his students, the professor is quite famous 

north of the border as a world-class adventurer, 

and is perhaps the world’s greatest authority on 

surviving in extreme conditions. His exploits include 

canoeing in the Arctic, dog-sled camping in 

20-below temperatures, paddling his home-made 

spruce-bark canoe in Hudson Bay, crossing the 

Sahara on a camel, exploring the Everglades in 

a 12-foot boat, and, the one he is best-known 

for, surviving 31 days in the Canadian arboreal 

forest in the dead of winter. That got him into the 

Guinness Book of World Records, a record that 

still stands after 30 years.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures 

The month of June has arrived, and if you live on the Outer Banks or 

you happen to be visiting during the week of June 21, 2017, please be 

aware of a great fi shing opportunity for children from aged 4-16. The 

Annual Fritz Boyden Youth Fishing Tournament will be on Wednesday, 

June 21, 2017. The registration will be from 700-800AM and the 

tournament will be from 800AM to 1200PM. There is no charge to enter 

or fi sh on the pier during this tournament. Every child will receive a free 

tournament t-shirt. The Avalon Fishing Pier, Nags Head Fishing Pier, 

Jeannette’s Fishing Pier and Outer Banks Fishing Pier will be participating 

in the tournament this year. The age groups will be 4 to 9 years 

old and 10-16 years old. Prizes are awarded for largest species of fi sh 

caught, as well as prizes for largest fi sh caught by a female and male 

angler, and the largest fi sh caught overall. 

Winning anglers are given really nice prizes such as rod and 

reel combos, as well as a trophy. Awards are also given for exemplary 

and unusual catches. The awards ceremony is held in the parking lot 

of Kelly’s Restaurant in Nags Head where the children and their parents 

are fed hot dogs, chips and drinks while the winners are being determined. 

At 100PM or thereafter, the winners are announced and the 

prizes and trophies are handed out to the winners. Door prizes are also 

drawn. I remember fi shing in my fi rst Fritz Boyden Tournament in 2007 

by Jake Worthington 

and I fi shed in every one until I was 16. Today I participate as a volunteer 

and help my father who is one of the pier captains. 

The Fritz Boyden Tournament was named after the late Mr. 

Fritz Boyden who was an avid fi sherman and member of the Nags 

Head Fishing Club for over 30 years. Mr. Boyden was often quoted as 

saying, “If you take your kids fi shing, they will never get in trouble.” Mr. 

Boyden’s legacy of introducing fi shing to kids is memorialized in the 

continuation of this tournament named for him. The tournament is well 

attended every year and the participants represented over 14 states 

during last year’s event. The tournament is organized by Tony Garrett of 

the Nags Head Surf Fishing Club. The tournament is also sponsored by 

The NC Sea Hags Fishing Team, The North Carolina Beach Buggy Association, 

The Outer Banks Anglers Club, TW’s Bait and Tackle, Kelly’s, 

High Cotton BBQ, and Sysco Foods. 

This tournament is a great platform for introducing fi shing to 

children. So if you know a child who might be interested, please bring 

them to one of the four piers and have them fi sh in this tournament. 

Remember these kids are the future of our sport, so let’s get them off 

the couch, computer, or Game Boy and get them on the planks!!!

Coastal Resources Commission chair interviews with Outer Banks Voice 

Follow OBX News as it happens 

http://outerbanksvoice.com 

Renee Cahoon has worn a lot of hats: mayor of Nags Head, 

Dare County commissioner and a fi fteen-year member of 

the Coastal Resources Commission. 

She is also the owner of Cahoon’s Cottages and Market, 

and a current member of the Nags Head Board of Commissioners. 

Early this year, Cahoon added one more hat when newly 

elected Governor Roy Cooper elevated her from a member 

of the Coastal Resources Commission to the chair of this 

little-known but important state body. 

The twelve-member board is set up similarly to the Marine 

Fisheries Commission, and has members holding seats 

representing interests such as local government, engineering 

and marine science, coastal property owners and 

development, wildlife, commercial and sport fi shing, forestry, 

agriculture and at-large slots. 

We sat down with Cahoon at her iconic oceanfront market 

and had a broadly based conversation on the CRC’s 

functions, the role of chairperson, and how the entity has 

changed over the past decade. We began by asking Cahoon 

to explain the purpose of the Coastal Resources Commission, 

which was created by the General Assembly in 1974. 

Cahoon: “What we do is set coastal development guidelines 

for the ocean erodible area, inlet hazard areas and the estuarine 

shoreline for the 20 coastal counties. We also serve 

as a quasi-judicial panel that hears requests for variances 

from coastal development regulations, appeals for denials 

of permits from applicants denied by CAMA [Coastal Area 

Management Authority], and protests from third-parties 

opposed to the issuance of a CAMA permit.” 

Voice: “It seems the CRC’s role was changed when the state 

legislature fl ipped from Democrat to Republican control. Is 

that true and if so, what changes have occurred?” 

Cahoon: “It did change. Every [commission member] was 

fi red by the legislature and a new board was constituted, 

with the governor’s office giving some appointments while 

others were reserved for the Speaker of the House and the 

President Pro Tempore on the senate side of the General 

Assembly. The governor still appoints the chair.” 

Voice: “When I was in banking I served on several boards 

where developers and builders felt the CRC was too restrictive 

and anti-coastal development. Has that perception 

changed?” 

Cahoon: “It really has changed. It has evolved to a more 

middle of the road commission, maybe even moving a little 

to the right. In the past, it leaned more to the left. 

“Personally, I am a middle-of-the-road person; I like to see 

balance between private property rights and public trust 

rights. I don’t have a desire to deny people development 

rights on their property, but I do care about public trust 

waters and beaches, which belong to all the people of North 

Carolina and are used by everybody, including our out-ofstate 

visitors. “I also intensely dislike trespassing on private 

property and people using coastal property without permission. 

Protecting those rights is often a part of our duties.” 

Voice: “What is the role of the chair and how does it differ 

from that of being a member of the commission?” 

Cahoon: “The role of chair is to run meetings, help form the 

agenda; we’ve formed an executive committee made up of 

a member from the southern, middle, and northern coastal 

areas. We also empowered people to bring issues before 

the commission for discussion or to be researched. 

“The other role is to decide, when people protest permits 

being issued, if those permits meet the letter of the law as 

far as allowing them to go forward as a third party contested 

case.” 

Specifi cally, Cahoon as chair sets the agenda and has discretion 

to bump discussion items from it to allow time for the 

variance, appeals and third-party contested cases that come 

before the commission. 

While variance requests and appeals for the denial of a permit 

must be heard by the commission, as chair, Cahoon has 

the authority to determine if a third-party contested case is 

at a level where a hearing before the commission is warranted.If 

it is not, the chair can reject the third-party appeal on 

her own. 

Cahoon said third-party contested cases occur when CAMA 

issues a permit for development to a property owner and 

adjoining property owners or other interested parties believe 

the permit should not have been issued. 

All CRC decisions can be appealed through the state court 

system, and in the case of a permit denial, applicants can 

appeal directly to the court system and bypass the CRC 

completely – a new option added by the legislature as part 

of the reforms instituted when they overhauled the CRC and 

CAMA roles. 

The chair also works closely with staff, local governments, 

scientists, engineers, geologists and other parties to help 

them do their jobs correctly. 

The CRC can even make rules, although Cahoon said it is 

a very long process that includes rounds of public hearings, 

vetting by the Rules Review Commission (RRC) in Raleigh, 

and even denial by the state legislature. 

Proposed rules sent back by the RRC are then revised, and 

the round of public hearings starts all over again. 

However, Cahoon says the commission has been successful 

in the rule-making role. 

She cited one rule originally mandating that a setback from 

the water for a 5,000 square foot commercial structure be 

60 feet, while a residential structure with the same square 

footage was allowed a more generous 30 foot setback. 

“We were able to change the rule so the setback is determined 

by the size of the footprint rather than the use of a 

building. We were also able to narrow the size of the ‘boxes’ 

restricting development in inlet hazard areas to follow more 

closely the rules used on the Oceanside erodible beach. 

Some of those boxes were too big,” Cahoon said. 

The commission also makes use of a twenty-member Coastal 

Resource Advisory Council (CRAC), made up of local 

elected and appointed offi cials, land developers, real estate 

agents, attorneys and others who bring forth ideas which are 

generated locally or through their professional organizations 

for consideration as new rules or areas to research. 

The CRAC meets earlier on the same days the CRC convenes, 

enabling even more interaction between the two 

groups. 

Finally, Cahoon noted this legislature mandated every 

corner of the state bureaucracy and reviews all of their rules, 

with the goal of eliminating any viewed as obsolete, unnecessary 

or overly burdensome. 

Cahoon laughed as she said “That’s a lot of rules to review 

going back to our creation in 1974! And if we want to keep a 

‘good’ rule we have to re-adopt it in order to show the rule is 

needed!” 

She notes that the board is not paid, but “made up of very 

good people who donate their time and see our mission 

as one that wants the state to implement the best coastal 

area building practices possible while balancing the rights of 

property owners, the economy, and preserving our natural 

resources.” 

Cahoon’s past and current roles in local government and operating 

a business on the oceanfront arm her with a unique 

and valuable set of tools for the position. Adding to that her 

15 years of prior service on the commission, the new CRC 

chair is well prepared for her new role, and the Outer Banks 

region can feel good about the balance, experience, and 

knowledge Cahoon will bring as she guides the CRC over 

the next two years. 





Shrubs – An old tradition makes a comeback at the bar 

What is all this talk of putting decorative lawn bushes in 

your drinks? If you have been confused by what a shrub is 

and how it relates to your favorite new summer beverage, 

we are here to tell you. 

What exactly is a shrub? In terms of mixed drinks, “shrub” 

refers to a cocktail or soft drink that was popular during 

the colonial era, made by mixing vinegar syrup with spirits, 

water, or carbonated water. The term can also be applied to 

the sweetened vinegar-based syrup from which the cocktail 

is made. These syrups are known as drinking vinegars, and 

are often infused with fruit juice, herbs, and spices for use in 

mixed drinks. 

The American version of the shrub has its origins in 17th 

century England, where vinegar was used as an alternative 

to citrus juices for the preservation of berries and other 

fruits in the off-season. Fruit preserves made in this fashion 

were themselves known as shrubs, and the practice carried 

over to colonial America, including right here on the Outer 

Banks. By the 19th century, typical American recipes for 

shrubs used vinegar poured over fruit – traditionally berries 

– which was left to infuse anywhere from overnight to 

several days; afterwards, the fruit was strained out and the 

remaining liquid would be mixed with a sweetener such as 

Arts & Entertainment 

sugar or honey, and then reduced to make a syrup. The 

sweet-and-sour syrup could be mixed with either water or 

soda water and served as a soft drink, or it could be used 

as a mixer in alcoholic cocktails. Shrubs eventually fell out 

of popularity with the advent of home refrigeration, but have 

made a huge comeback with the rising popularity of craft 

cocktails. 

Here is your chance to bring some shrub to your summer! 

Below are a few of our favorites using Outer Banks Olive Oil 

Company’s balsamic vinegars. They are sure to liven up 

your next summer party or relaxing weekend. 

Ingredients 

Blueberry-Lemon-Thyme Balsamic Sparkling Shrub 

2 cups lemon white balsamic vinegar 

1 cup fresh blueberries, crushed 

2” sprig fresh thyme (optional) 

8 cups chilled sparkling water (or add your favorite liquor) 

Strawberry-Peach Balsamic Sparkling Shrub 

2 cups Peach white balsamic vinegar 

1 cup fresh strawberries, coarsely chopped and steeped in 


Kiwi-Mango White Balsamic Sparkling Shrub 

2 Cups Mango White balsamic vinegar 

1 cup peeled and sliced kiwi fruit 


Lemon-Cucumber-Grapefruit White Balsamic Shrub 

2 cups of Grapefruit White balsamic vinegar (or your choice 

of white balsamic vinegar) 

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced (about 1 cup) 

1/2 lemon thinly sliced 

8 cups seltzer water or sparkling water (without sodium 

added) (or add your favorite liquor) 

Directions 

In a one liter Mason jar or container, add the fresh botanical 

ingredients. Pour the balsamic vinegar over the fruit and 

allow to “infuse” for at least one hour or up to four hours 

under refrigeration. The longer it sits, the more pronounced 

the fl avor of the fruit infusion. Strain and keep refrigerated 

and tightly covered for up to one month. 

To serve, add 1-2 tablespoons of infused 

drinking vinegar (shrub), depending on your 

preference for sweetness, to 8 ounces of 

chilled sparkling water. Serve over ice if 

desired. 

Makes between 16-32 servings, depending 

on amount added to water or cocktails. 





Outer Banks Birding 

May’s Outer Banks birding is amazing. Should you head 

into woods or to local impoundments? Should you seek warblers, 

tanagers and grosbeaks, or sandpipers, plovers and 

godwits? Weekends have two days – do both! 

Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge hosts a dozen breeding 

warbler species, some bright and visible, others drabber 

and hidden. Learn their songs to fi nd them. In woods, listen 

and look for Northern Parula, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, 

and Black-throated Green, Yellow-throated, Pine, 

Prairie, Black-and-white, Prothonotary, Worm-eating, Hooded 

and Swainson’s Warblers. Woodpeckers, fl ycatchers, and 

raptors nest on the refuge, and some reside in other wooded 

areas. Knowing bird sounds cannot be over-emphasized 

– for every bird seen, you’ll probably hear twelve. Online 

resources or compact discs can help. 

Indigo Buntings and Blue Grosbeaks nest in open refuge 

habitats, especially along the edges. Blue males are easy 

to find following their song. Listen for Eastern Meadowlarks 

and Northern Bobwhites, especially in early morning. Alligator 

River Refuge also offers possibilities of seeing bears, 

bobcats, wolves, otters and alligators. 

In woods along the Outer Banks – like Bodie Island woods, 

northern Roanoke Island, Nags Head Woods, Duck boardwalk 

and Corolla lighthouse area – various migrant songbirds 

refuel before continuing north. You may spot Scarlet 

Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak or Black-throated Blue 

Warbler. Over twenty warbler species are possible, plus fl y- 

catcher, oriole, vireo, swallow and thrush assortments. Early 

morning beats tourist crowds, but evening can produce good 

birding. 

Community 

Shorebirds migrate north to breed, with some headed to 

Arctic tundra. Spring migration means shorebirds have 

their fi nest breeding plumage. Red Knots are actually red, 

Black-bellied Plovers have black bellies, and others are 

brighter than during fall migration. Sanderlings’ breasts 

and upperparts turn brick red. The best shorebird locations 

are impoundments at local wildlife refuges and near inlets. 

Ocean beaches can produce good birding, especially more 

secluded ones. In general, mudfl ats produce the greatest 

shorebird variety. Again, early morning is best. 

A few shorebird species nest on the Outer Banks. Killdeer 

nest on road shoulders, gravel parking lots, and even rock 

gardens. If you approach too closely, they try to lure you 

away, feigning injury. Piping Plovers nest on wide, sandy 

beaches, normally near inlets or at Cape Point. Willets nest 

in dense grass near salt marshes. Black-necked Stilts nest 

in shallow impoundments, especially Bodie Pond, usually in 

clumps of grass on small islands. American Oystercatchers 

nest on high beaches or islands. 

Several tern species nest on beaches and dredge-spoil 

islands in the sound. Least, Common, Sandwich, Gull-billed 

and Royal Terns nest in May. Least Terns sometimes nest 

on fl at rooftops. Forster’s Terns nest in Pamlico Sound in 

marshy areas or on small, isolated islands. Caspian Terns 

sometimes nest near inlets. Black Skimmers nest on beaches, 

especially near inlets. 

In residential areas, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Towhees, 

Mockingbirds, Catbirds, Brown Thrashers, Chickadees, 

Nuthatches, Bluebirds, Robins, House Finches and several 

woodpeckers feed young by May. Mourning Doves may start 

second broods! Many birds nest in thick shrubs or dense 

tangles, while others prefer trees. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds 

build tiny cup nests, usually in crotches of small tree 

branches. Locating hummingbird nests requires patience. 

Quietly watch where hummingbirds fl y after feeding. Woodpeckers 

nest in cavities they carve into dead trees. Great 

Crested Flycatchers, Eastern Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, 

Carolina Chickadees and Brown-headed Nuthatches also 

use these holes, or birdhouses! 

For a different birding experience, consider offshore (pelagic) 

trips. It is completely different, with shearwaters, petrels, 

storm-petrels, jaegers, skuas, tropicbirds, tropical terns and 

phalaropes! Various dolphin and whale species, sea turtles, 

and pelagic fi sh are also encountered. Search “pelagic birding” 

or “seabirding” online.

Happy birding! 

Outer Banks Restaurant Association spotlight on: TRiO 

TRiO in Kitty Hawk was born of a love for all things wine-, 

beer- and cheese-related and has grown into an exciting 

retail, dining and tasting destination. 

Opened in August of 2011, the combined retail-bistro 

concept was the vision of two couples, Kenny and Melissa 

Hyman and John and Jennifer Minnich. The Hymans had 

previously opened and operated Native Vine, a retail wine 

shop,and tasting room just over the Wright Memorial Bridge 

in Point Harbor. 

When John introduced them to his love of craft beer and 

Jennifer shared her passion for artisan cheese, a partnership 

was born and the TRiO concept was created. As both a 

gourmet retail wine, beer and cheese shop,and a bistro with 

a wine bar and tap house, TRiO offers the best of the worlds 

of wine, beer and cheese for your enjoyment on premise or 

in the comfort of your home. 

In TRiO’s retail shop, you’ll fi nd a vast selection of wine, 

beer, cheese and more from around the corner and around 

the world. From quality and value to high-end and exceptional, 

not to mention “Wow, I’ve never even heard of that 

one!” TRiO has something for every taste and budget. 

They offer more than 2,000 wines; several hundred craft 

beers; over 70 artisanal cheeses hand-cut to order; gourmet 

food items; plus, all the accessories and accompaniments to 

go with them. Their knowledgeable staff is passionate about 

their products and are always happy to help both the novice 

and more seasoned clientele fi nd something to love. 

TRiO’s Bar and Bistro has an inviting yet casually sophisticated 

vibe. Their bistro menu features simple yet creative 

fare with a selection of cheese and charcuterie, small plates, 

gourmet salads, toasty Panini, and house made desserts. 

TRiO’s extensive wine list includes over 25 wines by the 

glass and bottle. 

Their WineStation self-service tasting machines provide 

a unique opportunity to taste 24 wines in taste, half or full 

glass pours. TRiO also has the beach’s largest selection of 

rotating craft brews with 24 selections on tap, all served in 

style-appropriate glassware. More than just a bar & restaurant, 

TRiO has become a gathering spot for locals and 

visitors alike. They host several events each week, including 

pint night on Tuesdays featuring a different brewery each 

week and reserve wine tastings on Thursdays and Fridays. 

There is always something happening in their community-driven 

space and on any given night you might fi nd live 

music, a book club meeting in the corner, a friendly game 

of pool at their free pool table or one of their popular fi vecourse 

pairing dinners happening. 

At TRiO it’s really just about simple pleasures, authentic 

fl avors and good times. It’s a place where you can feed your 

passion — for wine, beer, cheese, casually inventive food 

and more. 





Student Art Show On Exhibit At Front Porch Cafe 

For the first time ever AP art students from 

Manteo and First Flight High Schools have 

teamed up to host a collaborative art show 

called Dare To Art, which is currently on 

display at Front Porch Café in Nags Head. 

With guidance from their teachers Holly 

Humphlett, Alice Baldwin, Camie Romano, and Jillian Schuler, 

students worked hard in college level classes to display 

their work in this show. 

Exhibiting artists include: Emma Alter, Kaleb Beach, Skylor 

Burke, Kayleigh Cahoon, Grace Davis, Grace Deichler, 

Christine Diaz, Loyda Herrera, Lindsay Jones, and Sal Spinella 

(Manteo); Victoria Hobbs, Hannah Montgomery, Brigid 

O’Neil, Colton Shuler, Katy Spore, Gabrielle Sullivan, and 

Vivian Wyant (First Flight). 

“I am excited about this opportunity for our young artists,” 

said Manteo High School’s AP 2D Design and AP Drawing 

teacher Holly Humphlett. “We are pleased to work with Dare 

County Arts Council to provide valuable information and an 

Community News 

art related experience for our students.” 

This art show capitalizes on a capstone project giving students 

a taste of “the business side of art.” 

The Business Side Of Art program was developed for 

local high school art students by Dare County Arts Council 

Programs Director Fay Davis Edwards and Dare County 

Arts Council School Liaison Barbara Hanft in response to a 

request from high school art teachers. 

“We are delighted to host these talented students and are 

very excited to see where their artistic careers take them 

after graduation” said Dare County Arts Council Programs 

Director Fay Davis Edwards. 

Part of The Business Side Of Art program includes helping 

students focus on building their portfolios and learning the 

fundamentals of having a career in art and how to market 

themselves as an artist. 

On May 17 Dare County Arts Council hosted a Business 

SERVPRO 

Elizabeth City / Outer Banks 

Side Of Art seminar where high school students learned tips 

from successful Outer Banks artists. Silver Bonsai Gallery 

co-owner Kathryn Stewart talked to the students about communicating 

effectively with gallery owners about their art, 

and framer Lynn Atkins led a demonstration in her Manteo 

custom framing shop. Other topics addressed during the 

seminar included developing promotional materials including 

press releases, posters and artist bios for the student 

exhibit. 

On Thursday, June 8 there will be a reception for the artists 

and their families at Front Porch Café in Nags Head from 

5-6pm. Everyone is encouraged stop by Front Porch Cafe 

to support the talented, local aspiring artists. All works are 

available for purchase. The show will remain on display 

through Friday, June 30. 

A special thank you to Front Porch Café co-owners Paul 

Manning and Susannah Sakal, who graciously offered their 

café space for the students’ show.

UNC COASTAL STUDIES INSTITUTE AND PARTNERS RELEASE TURTLES IN THE GULF STREAM AS PART OF A TRACKING INITIATIVE 

Researchers at the UNC Coastal Studies Institute (UNC 

CSI) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 

recently released juvenile and adult sea turtles 

into the Gulf Stream in partnership with the North Carolina 

Aquarium at Roanoke Island and the University of Central 

Florida (UCF). The project, led by Drs. Lindsay Dubbs (UNC 

CSI) and Larisa Avens (NOAA), is part of the ongoing NC 

Renewable Ocean Energy Program at UNC CSI looking at 

the ecological impacts of Gulf Stream utilization. 

A total of nine turtles were released into the Gulf Stream on 

May 17, fi ve of which were loggerhead yearlings with satellite 

transmitters attached to their backs. The transmitters are 

small, lightweight devices attached to the turtle’s carapace 

(shell) using aquarium-grade epoxy resin and are designed 

to withstand up to 300 days at sea. The transmitters rely 

on solar power to charge the unit and satellite telemetry 

to pinpoint their location every time a turtle returns to the 

surface for air. Real-time tracking of the animals is available 

at http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/?project_id=1272&- 

dyn=1496277012 for educators and those interested in the 

research.

Center Steering Wheel 

All nine of the turtles released were raised or rehabilitated 

at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. The 

Aquarium aids sea turtles brought to them by the North 

Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission whose volunteers 

monitor sea turtle nests and bring in turtles that need assistance, 

whether they are from an excavation or a stranding. 

The fi ve yearling research subjects hatched on Bogue 

Banks just last fall near the Aquarium. 

The Sea Turtle Assistance and Rehabilitation (STAR) Center 

at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island was utilized 

for the staging area for attaching the transmitters and 

to prep for the release. 

Kate Mansfi eld, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences 

at UCF, has been developing this method of neonatal turtle 

tagging for over ten years. Much of what is known about 

sea turtles is based on mature individuals, leaving a gap of 

information concerning early development. This research 

aims to fi ll that gap by revealing where these endangered 

species go and how they interact with the Gulf Stream. 

Teaming up with interdisciplinary researchers like Mansfi eld 

is just one of the ways Dr. Lindsay Dubbs is assessing the 

potential for ecological impacts of Gulf Stream turbines as 

SOUTHLAND 

part of the UNC CSI Renewable Ocean Energy Program. 

The primary focus of Dubb’s research has been on Sargassum, 

a floating macro-algae found in the warm waters of the 

Gulf Stream, which attracts a wide array of marine species 

including sea turtles. Researchers believe neonatal and 

juvenile sea turtles rely on Sargassum communities as a 

refuge from predators and a place to fi nd food. 

“Collaboration with NOAA researchers, Larisa Avens, 

Joanne McNeil, and April Goodman Hall, has allowed us 

to explore the use of the Gulf Stream by sea turtles as a 

component of our ecological and environmental characterization. 

Their expertise and experience are huge assets to 

the project, as are their contacts. For instance, we were very 

fortunate to have Kate Mansfi eld join us to tag these sea turtles. 

We are hoping to be able to track at least some of the 

released turtles for a few months and continue to collaborate 

with researchers at NOAA, UCF, and the NC Aquariums, 

linking sea turtles with other elements of the Gulf Stream being 

researched thanks to the NC Renewable Ocean Energy 

Program.”, said Dr. Lindsay Dubbs, Principal Investigator on 

the project. 

In addition to the sea turtle release, UNC CSI 

technicians took surface water and Sargassum 

samples from different locations within the Gulf 

Stream which will undergo analysis back at the 

Institute as researchers strive to better understand 

this unique pelagic habitat.

And The Beet Goes On!

Rosie’s Beet Salad 

3 medium beets 

4 oz. feta cheese 

1/2 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and crumbled 

Sprinkling of chopped parsley 

Zest of one orange 

Vinaigrette, recipe follows 

Trim beets, lightly oil them, wrap in foil, and roast in a 

400°oven until tender, a little over an hour. Let cool, then 

peel and cube. 

Cube feta same size as beets and combine with crumbled 

toasted walnuts. Gently toss with vinaigrette. Serve and top 

individual servings with orange zest and extra parsley. 

I zest the orange at the end so as to keep the pretty orange 

color vibrant and orange, not beet red. 

1 TB rice vinegar 

1 tsp sugar 

pinch kosher salt 

generous grinds of pepper 

1 tsp Dijon mustard 

1 tsp red wine 

1 TB minced shallots 

1 TB chopped parsley 

Scant ½ cup Bertolli Extra Light Olive Oil 

Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, Dijon, wine, shallots, 

and parsley. 

Slowly whisk in olive oil until you have a nice emulsion. As 

always, taste test and adjust seasonings if you want. 

The reason I use Bertolli Extra Light Olive Oil is because 

the fl avor of the oil does not overpower any of the other 

fl avors in my salad. It’s pretty much my go-to olive oil when 

I don’t want complicated fl avors going on. 

And the beet goes on… la de da de da, la de da de indeed!

Volunteering at Encore…what is it? In 

college, I learned that there are levels of 

emotional maturity. As we move along in 

life we grow to feel accomplishments, joy 

in relationships, and a sense of pride in our 

families. As we grow and mature, an urge to 

help others becomes a powerful emotion to 

want to “give back”. To give back and help 

others is the very highest level of emotional 

maturity that a person can only evolve to, 

after having experienced the lesser levels. 

This process says a lot about people who 

volunteer. At Encore, there have been lots of 

friendships, laughter, and warmth from the 

membership and others. Everyone is clearly 

having a great time working on our summer 

fund raising mystery live dinner theatre production 

of “JUST DESSERTS”. 

As I end my past president position on the 

executive board, I would like to honor all 

of the dedicated members and many other 

volunteers that have taken part in the many 

of organizations accomplishments over the 

past fi ve years. It says a lot about you and 

what I can say …THANK YOU!

Northeast North Carolina Family History – June Graduations… 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

I was thinking about high school graduation 

season which has all ready started and I was 

reminded about a few family graduation stories 

I had heard over the years. I dug up the fi le 

and was reminded that although we had always 

been told that my husband’s great grand-father 

had graduated from Wake Forest College in 

actuality he had only attended from 1886-1887 

and left to become a farmer. 

We had also understood that his wife, Kate 

Harrell, had graduated from Chowan College. 

Turns out she attended from February 15, 1887 

until June 29, 1887 which was the spring term 

for that year. Back in 1994 when I requested 

any information they might have about Kate, I 

received a copy of her Quarterly Report which 

accompanies this column. I felt for her scores 

in algebra and Latin and was impressed with 

her results in penmanship as you should all be 

happy this is not a handwritten column you are 

reading!! I do feel bad about that as my father 

had beautiful penmanship, too. 

So I got interested in Chowan College Murfreesboro 

which has been Chowan University 

since April 2006, but was founded in 1848 as 

Chowan Baptist Female Institute, the second 

oldest Baptist School in North Carolina according 

to its catalogue. Pretty nifty discovery, 

Kayak sales and rentals 

www.digitalnc.org, has an array of the Institute’s 

catalogues from the 1800’s. I was reading the 

1885-1886 version as the one I needed, 1886- 

1887 was missing, sigh… 

It had all kinds of fascinating information. Fall 

terms began the fi rst Wednesday in October 

and concluded on February 14 with one day 

off for Christmas. Academic tuition was $20.00 

and collegiate tuition was $25.00. There were 

all kinds of fees for “extras” including music, 

which Kate was enrolled in and she did reasonably 

well. You had three options, Piano, guitar 

or organ and the fee was an additional $25.00. 

Wish it indicated which she took. 

“Board, including all necessary appurtenances” 

was $54.00 and “Incidental expenses” were 

$2.50. Under Religious Education was stated, 

“All people are required to attend morning 

and evening prayers in the Chapel, and public 

worship and Sunday.” There were pages and 

pages of information including teachers and 

students attending and the classes enrolled 

in – a lot of really fun information if you have 

an ancestor that attended and the right year is 

available. 

The college began accepting male students 

in 1931. 

Wonder how the women felt about that??

Coastal Carolina Pet Partners, a therapy

meeting on June 3 from 12-1:30 pm at Holy 

Family Catholic Church, 1453 N. Road St. 

Anyone interested in learning about the 

organization and how to train their animals 

for therapy work is invited to attend. 

Participants can bring their lunch. Please 

do not bring pets to the meeting. For further

As I have mentioned in other columns, my 

mother was taken out of school in the eighth 

grade to help around the farm. That would 

have been around 1930. I don’t have any information 

about her attending school except that 

it was a one room country school house and 

that she competed in the high jump in a skirt 

and jumped with her feet and skirt under her, 

clearing it and winning local competitions. My 

father attended Catholic schools. His mother 

hoped he’d become a priest but he wanted adventure 

in his life. I don’t actually know where 

he graduated from. I do know that he said he 

was articling to become a lawyer sometime in 

the 1920’s. I guess that was before he decided 

to go to the Canadian Arctic to work for the 

Hudson Bay Company with the local Inuit. After 

that he started working for Parks Canada, a job 

he eventually retired from. 

Many of my husband’s family in Currituck have 

gone into the teaching profession. Maybe it’s 

a legacy from William and Kate and there stint 

with North Carolina higher education. What is 

the story of your family’s educational history? 

If you are getting together for a graduation or 

any family event this summer, get your family 

talking! Who knows what you may learn…

Don’t Let Your Investments Take a “Vacation” 

Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe 

It’s summer again – time for many of us to take 

a break and possibly hit the open road. But 

even if you go on vacation, you won’t want your 

investments to do the same – in summertime or 

any other season. How can you help make sure 

your portfolio continues to work hard for you all 

year long? 

Here are a few suggestions: 

Avoid owning too many “low growth” investments. 

As you know, different investments 

have different characteristics and can help you 

in different ways. For example, you typically 

own stocks because you want them to grow in 

value so that you can eventually sell them for 

a profi t. Other investments, such as certificates 

of deposit (CDs), provide you with a regular 

source of income and stability of principal – two 

valuable contributions to your portfolio. However, 

investments like CDs don’t offer much in the 

way of growth. So if you own too many of them, 

you might be slowing your progress toward your 

important fi nancial goals, such as a comfortable 

retirement. 

You can maximize the productivity of your 

portfolio by owning a variety of investments – 

“Home of the Hickdog” 

252-339-2493 

Orangeade, Lemonade and Limeade 

Movie Theater Popcorn, Bar-Be-que 

domestic stocks, international stocks, corporate 

bonds, U.S. Treasury securities, CDs and more. 

How much of each investment should you own? 

The answer depends on a variety of factors, including 

your age, income, risk tolerance, family 

situation and specifi c objectives. Over time, your 

ideal investment mix may change, but you’ll likely 

need at least some growth potential at every 

stage of your life. 

Don’t let your portfolio go “unsupervised.” Your 

investment portfolio can be subject to “drift” if 

left alone for extended time periods. In fact, 

without your making any moves at all, your 

portfolio can move in directions that may not be 

favorable to you. Suppose you think your holdings 

should be made up of 70% stocks, but due 

to strong gains, your stocks now make up 80% 

of your portfolio. This development could lead 

to a risk level that feels uncomfortably high to 

you. That’s why you should review your portfolio 

at least once a year, possibly with the help of a 

fi nancial professional, to check your progress 

and make adjustments as needed. 

Mention this Ad and 

get a free Hot Dog 

when you purchase 

a Hot Dog. 

Don’t stop at the nearest “resting place.” Some 

people hope that if they can get that one “winner,” 

they will triumph in the investment arena. 

But the ability to “get rich quick” is much more of 

a myth than a reality. True investment success 

typically requires patience, persistence and the 

resilience to continue investing even during market 

downturns. 

In other words, investing is a long-term endeavor, 

and you need a portfolio that refl ects 

this reality. The investment moves you make 

today may pay off for you decades from now. 

You need to establish your goals and keep them 

constantly in mind as you invest. And you will 

never really reach the end of your investment 

journey, because you’ll need to make choices 

and manage your portfolio throughout your 

retirement years. 

Hopefully, you will enjoy a pleasant vacation 

sometime this summer. But your investment 

portfolio shouldn’t take time off.

Moonshine 

By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle 

wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov 

Some of the most favorite artifacts for many visitors to the Museum 

of the Albemarle are the components of a moonshine still 

as well as a miniature version of a still once owned by infamous 

moonshiner Alvin Sawyer. Most visitors may not know that 

moonshine, or locally known as white lightning, juniper juice, rotgut, 

Hertford County Poison, and corn squeezings, is portrayed 

quite frequently in television, movies, and music. 

Did you know that Granny from the “The Beverly Hillbillies” ran 

a moonshine still beside the swimming pool? The family truck 

was powered by this “liquid dynamite” as well. An episode of 

“Sanford and Son” featured moonshine that caused temporary 

baldness. The Baldwin sisters on the “The Waltons” kept alive 

the knowledge of their father’s favorite concoction, “the recipe.” 

You may remember that characters Hawkeye Pierce and 

Trapper John McIntyre of the series “MASH” used a makeshift 

distillery in their tent to make moonshine. “The Dukes of Hazzard” 

storyline mentions past moonshining for some of the major 

characters. Homer Simpson tried his best as a taste tester for 

moonshine in “The Simpsons.” Things did not quite work out as 

the white lightning wound up in the town’s water supply. Many 

citizens went temporarily blind from drinking the 

enhanced water. 

Movies including “Thunder Road” (1958), and “The Great Escape” 

(1963) featured the running and processing of moonshine. 

Dolly Parton’s “Daddy’s Moonshine Still,” “Copper Kettle” by 

Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, and “A Moonshiner’s Life” by Hank 

Williams III all offer a tune to the whole moonshine theme. 

Please visit the Museum of the Albemarle to learn more about 

the history of moonshining in northeastern North Carolina.

Let it rain 

by Ron Ben Dov 

Let it rain, let it rain 

God’s blessings, let it rain 

The vaults of heaven open wide 

Riches of the heavens pour 

Til we overfl ow in God’s own love 

Let rain, let it rain 

God’s own love, let it rain 

The angels working overtime 

They spread His holy will 

Surround the saints in holiness 

And protect us while we pray 

I call upon the Lord each day 

His grace to shower you 

For without His holy presence 

We will all be lost 

Let it rain, let it rain 

God’s grace, let it rain 

He sent His only son 

To save our sinner’s souls 

And healed us by His stripes 

As He surrendered all 

Let it pour, let it pour 

Jesus save us, let it pour 

The Lord gave and Jesus died 

Sacrifi ced so we may live 

No greater gift could He give 

So, we may live, not die 

Jesus saves and sin kills 

To Him I pledge undying faith 

For Jesus saves 

Jesus saves 

Fathers Day 

by Pastor Dan Bergey 

First of all I would like thank all those at Albemarle Tradewinds, for 

their good work and putting this paper out to the public. I thought it 

would be good to take a few months and talk about relationships. 

We have a great opportunity to do that with Mother’s day, and 

Father’s day. This month we take time to thank our father(s) and 

tell them we love them. It is hard for me sometimes though not to 

become cynical on days like this. Not because of my relationship 

with my Father who has now passed away, but with the lack of 

Spiritual and natural Fathers. 

To be a father is a remarkable thing, but it means growing and 

maturing. It means serving and selfl essness. It means enjoying 

when children are fi lled with unconditional love, and are pointed 

in the right direction through healthy and Spiritual life examples 

of the Father. I’m in a dream world you say? I politely and lovingly 

disagree with you. Proverbs 23:24 says this “The father of the 

righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise son will 

be glad in him.” This picture in Scripture is one of beauty, because 

it describes the Father in the same way as the Mother who cared 

for her body and health as she went through pregnancy and birth. 

Dad today I challenge you to seek and understand the value of 

your role in the labor of raising a child. This value is not monetary, 

manly, or macho. It is one of sacrifice, challenge and joy. Its true 

value does not have earthly credits, but heavenly ones. If you are 

in need of strength and courage to be a Father, we here at New 

Life are glad to pray for, and encourage you to become the Father, 

God has created you to be.

I hope everyone has had the opportunity 

to get out and do a little target practice. 

With all the rain we have had of late 

getting outside to shoot has been a real 

challenge, of course, that happens during 

hunting season also. Sometimes “rainy” 

day practice has its advantages. Know 

how the weather affects your archery 

equipment. 

The piece of equipment I would 

like to discuss in this article is the arrow 

quiver. What type of quiver do you use 

to hold your arrows on the hunt? Do you 

carry a “back” quiver, a “bow” (attachable) 

quiver, or a “side” quiver. It makes a difference 

when you are traveling through the 

forest. 

A “Back” quiver is, just as the 

name implies, a quiver which is positioned 

on your back. Many “traditional” or “primitive” 

hunters have these quivers. There 

are many of these on the market today, 

however, the traditionalist usually prefers 

to make his own quiver. The quivers can 

be made from leather, plant material (yucca 

or basket weaving material), pvc pipe, 

or cloth. The main objective is to position 

the quiver with your arrows within easy 

reach. There are a plethora of websites 

that explain how to make a back quiver. I 

urge you, if you are interested in making 

your own, to visit these sites. Of course, 

you can always buy a leather quiver kit. 

A “Bow” quiver is a quiver that 

attaches to the side of the bow. Usually 

containing locks for three to six arrows. 

Many compound bow archers use these 

attachable quivers. These allow easy 

access to your arrows but do limit the 

number of arrows you can take in the 

fi eld. There are also attachable quivers 

that will mount on traditional bows.Many 

archers remove these quivers from their 

bow upon arrival at the stand. There are 

many types of bow quivers on the market. 

You will need to research to see which 

type is better for you. 

A “Side” quiver is carried on a 

sling by the archer’s side. It is within reach 

of his drawing hand and gives simple 

Talmage Dunn 

bowhuntor@yahoo.com 

252-267-5437 

District 1 Wildlife Rep for NCBA 

ease in getting to his arrows. There are 

traditional style side quivers made of 

leather or fur, some are made from long 

pieces of tubing (pvc or a lighter material), 

some are just the bow mounted quivers 

with a sling attached. 

Regardless of the type of quiver 

you choose..... practice, practice, practice 

is the byword!! getting your arrow from the 

quiver has to be second nature to the archer 

in the fi eld. The drawing of the arrow 

from the quiver must be smooth, swift, 

and silent. The archer should be able to 

draw and string his arrow with little or no 

conscious thought. To take one’s eyes off 

the game is to miss the opportunity for a 

well placed shot.
