Compensation by Ralph Waldo Emerson 

Ralph Waldo Emerson 

(May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) 

was an American essayist, lecturer, 

and poet who led the Transcendentalist 

movement of the mid-19th century. 

He was seen as a champion of 

individualism and a prescient critic 

of the countervailing pressures of 

society, and he disseminated his 

thoughts through dozens of published 

essays and more than 1,500 public 

lectures across the United States. 

Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs 

of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy 

of Transcendentalism in his 1836 essay, Nature. Following this 

ground-breaking work, he gave a speech entitled “The American 

Scholar” in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. considered to 

be America’s “Intellectual Declaration of Independence”. 

Emerson wrote most of his important essays as lectures first, then 

revised them for print. His first two collections of essays – Essays: 

First Series and Essays: Second Series, published respectively in 

1841 and 1844 – represent the core of his thinking, and include 

such well-known essays as Self-Reliance, The Over-Soul, Circles, 

The Poet and Experience. Together with Nature, these essays made 

the decade from the mid-1830s to the mid-1840s Emerson’s most 

fertile period. 

Source: Wikipedia 

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay, “Compensation,” wrote that 

each person is compensated in like manner for that which he or 

she has contributed. The Law of Compensation is another 

restatement of the Law of Sowing and Reaping. It says that you 

will always be compensated for your efforts and for your 

contribution, whatever it is, however much or however little.

Health and Nutrition Strategies For Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else 

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

Protein (essential nutrient) 

The source of your protein is critical. In earlier columns I talked about meat and poultry products in our food chain, and I reminded my cancer survivor colleagues, 

to be particularly diligent because more and more toxicity is surfacing and our government does not have a mandatory recall policy. This calls for a little 

more dot connecting. 

First lets look at disease. Disease is a disorder of the body that results from the effects of genetics, or an unfavorable environment. We probably can’t do much 

about genetics so we’ll focus on the environmental part. 

In earlier columns I provided information on the use of arsenic in 88% of the poultry consumed in the U.S. I’ve written about growth hormones and antibiotics 

in dairy cows, that wind up unidentified in dairy products, and in fast food hamburgers. I advised about substances generally regarded as safe (GRAS list), and I 

touched on genetically modified organisms ( GMO’s). 

As an old retired Federal and State Meat Inspector, I’ve inspected many a slaughter house both meat and poultry. I’ve always known that 80 to 90% of the red 

meat and poultry consumed in the U.S. was female, but it never occurred to me to relate that to a hormone imbalance, or for that matter, hormonal influence. 

I located a study issued by the “National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences” published in 2002, that labeled Estrogen as a “known carcinogen”. Hormones 

are coming under more and more scrutiny and I would suggest, to my fellow cancer survivors, to exercise caution with your consumption of red meat and 

poultry, I’d go for “Certified Organic” 

The statement “No Added Hormones” on some beef products suggest that there’s an expectation of added hormones unless otherwise labeled. Actually, it merely 

means that they’re not using dairy cows. The statement is not permitted on poultry or pork because added hormones are not allowed. 

Finally, The Human Genome Project was completed in 2003. That project ushers in a new area of study called Epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how the 

environment influences DNA sequences. I’m all about food safety, so that’s the part of the environment we’ll be looking at. Epigenetics will be a great tool.

Orthodox Christianity 

It is by warfare that the soul makes progress. 

FATHER SERAPHIM ROSE AND THE ORTHODOX LIFE 

Abba John the Dwarf, fourth century 

Before he had found the truth, Father Seraphim had suffered for the lack of it. Now, having found it, he suffered for the sake of it. 

Hieromonk Damascene 

In a rude structure in a remote mountain wilderness, candles flicker beneath the angular faces and the 

otherworldly gaze of a host of brooding icons. An asthenic man with an unkempt beard and a long 

cassock slowly circumambulates the small, rustic space, all the while intoning ancient chants in 

forgotten modes. A small choir responds antiphonally in a haunting drone. The chanting man slowly 

swings a censor before him. From it swirls up a sweet incense, the fine smoke softly illumined by 

fading shafts of the evening dusk. 

Thousands of miles away, a young Russian’s distracted expression vanished at the mention of the 

name. He looked at me keenly (and, I sensed, not without condescension). “He’s our Father 

Seraphim, you know. He belongs to us Russians.” 

Father Seraphim Rose was born Eugene Dennis Rose to a nominally Protestant family in San Diego, 

California in 1934. Despite the brevity of his earthly life, he is considered by many to be the 

outstanding spiritual figure of twentieth-century North America. The story of the transformation of 

his life through suffering and the ancient Christian faith has been well documented by those who have 

followed in his footsteps. His legacy of published works, which range from original volumes to 

periodicals to translations of ancient desert texts, have reached millions around the world. The 

monastery he founded (and largely built with his own hands) on a remote mountain in Northern 

California, continues to produce monks and the printed word. 

Father Seraphim’s writings, which were smuggled into Russia during the Communist years, were 

secretly and laboriously reproduced by typewriter, and widely distributed, at great risk. They were 

immensely influential in helping to sustain Russia spiritually during those dark years of repression. 

Though little-known in his native country, Father Seraphim’s name is readily recognized in Russia and 

other Orthodox lands that endured the Communist yoke; and his writings are still popular and widely 

available there. He is said to be the most popular spiritual writer in Russia today. 

A man of great intellectual powers and extraordinary linguistic gifts, the son of a janitor, Eugene Rose 

mastered several European languages and ancient Chinese. In 1956, he graduated magna cum laud 

from Pomona College, a small, highly regarded liberal arts institution in California; where he 

studied Chinese philosophy. After graduation, he moved to San Francisco, where he studied under 

Alan Watts at the American Institute of Asian Studies. In 1961 Eugene took a master’s degree in 

Oriental Languages at the University of California at Berkeley, where he immersed himself in Taoism 

and began an English translation of the Tao Te Ching from the original ancient Chinese.

It was during these years in San Francisco that Eugene’s existential pain and personal grief reached 

unendurable magnitudes. It was also then that he came into contact with Bishop John Maximovitch, 

the wonderworker.

Concealed Carry Law in NC Continued 

A violation of this pistol permit law is a Class 2 misdemeanor under North Carolina law. Specifically exempted 

from the provisions of this permit requirement are the transfer of antique firearms or historic-edged weapons. An 

“antique firearm” is one that was manufactured on or before 1898 and includes any firearm with a matchlock, 

flintlock, percussion cap, or similar ignition system. It also includes a replica thereof if the replica is not designed

notinclude any weapon which incorporates a firearm frame or receiver; is converted into a muzzle loading 

weapon; or is a muzzle loading weapon that can be readily convened to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the 

barrel, bolt, breechlock, or anycombination thereof. 

A “historic-edged weapon” is defined to be a bayonet, 

trench knife, sword, or dagger manufactured during or 

prior to World War II, but no later than January 1, 

1946. N.C.Gen. Stat. § 14-409.12. The requirement 

of obtaining a permit prior to the receipt of a handgun 

does not apply to the purchase and receipt of “long 

guns,” such as shotguns and rifles.

Belcross Bake Shoppe 

In the evening, after the crowd has come and 

gone, the sun going down and the soft 

rays of light gently peaking through the windows, 

I sit and breathe in the reality that 

Belcross is really ours. I have dreamed of 

having a small restaurant where friends 

and family could gather; start their day or 

take a break in the middle of the hustle 

and bustle of life. I dreamed of a place where 

the food would entice and the 

ambiance would offer peace, a place to rest 

and where each customer would feel 

valued. For so long, I thought ‘‘twas just a 

dream.” One day a friend called and said 

…”I think there is a place for sale that you 

might be interested in.” We talked and I 

left feeling as if it was a nice thought but no 

way could something of this grandeur 

come to fruition. As the months went on, my 

prayer was for the Lord to only allow 

this process to continue if it was His will for 

our family. He opened each door and 

we walked through. This past May, Belcross 

became ours. The community has been 

beyond gracious. They have been patient, 

welcoming, encouraging and supportive. 

Working with my girls each day is part of the 

richness for me as a mother of 3. We 

are there, with our team, in an open kitchen 

where all can see our success and our 

failures. The joy that comes from looking up 

and seeing the faces of those that walk 

through our doors fills my heart with strength 

and energy to get up at 2 a.m. the 

following day and do it all over again. What 

an adventure we are on…what a story 

we have been allowed to be a part of. 


North Carolina taxing your labor - 

More than just “Skin in the Game”. 

By Ken Morgan 

I feel more like August Landmesser every year. He is the person in the photo 

that refused to give the Nazi salute. Confused, I find myself at odds with the 

current crop of Republican politicians as they are changing the platform of the 

party. Of course, we all KNOW what to expect from the Democrats, taxation. 

Recently, I was told that I “just don’t get it” by a prominent Republican in our 

district because of my opposition to the taxing of labor in the new NC budget. 

These legislators ran on the platform of reducing the size of government, 

lowering taxes, making government less intrusive, etc. The usual Republican 

propaganda. What has happened with this budget is the equivalent of moving 

chairs around in a room and telling us how wonderful things are now that the 

chairs are in different places. The government is bigger and now (because of 

this budget) more intrusive than ever. Republicans are selling the idea that we 

need to move to into consumption tax and eliminate the income tax. Many 

North Carolina citizens remain unconvinced of this proposition. The current 

Republican leadership appears not to want any opposition or dissent in their 

ranks. This article is an attempt to explain reasons why citizens of North Carolina should oppose the taxation of labor. Thirty years ago most folks in the Republican 

party intuitively understood the immortality of taxing labor. The current Republican leadership does not seem to understand classical liberalism or what 

we now call “Libertarian” concepts. The party no longer has a soul since it no longer embraces the fundamental principles of the Rands, the Buckleys and the 

Goldwaters of a previous generation. So, this why a quiet man living on the economic edge of what was once middle-class has decided to write my thoughts on 

the immortality of taxing labor. 

The reason I am against the taxation of labor is a moral one. The question of morality when discussing taxes may seem strange to some folks, but morality is 

at the foundation of our rights granted to us by God and written in the Constitution. One of Elizabeth Warren’s main themes is “you did not build that”. It is 

a justification socialists use to promote their agenda of an all-encompassing state. The justification is that if you build a product it is not the fruit of your labors 

as you used the state’s resources (infrastructure, roads, etc.) to make your product. Such is the thinking of the all-powerful state. The all mighty state lets you use 

it. As a civilization, we allowed the state to tax us in many ways over the years. Most taxes are of tangible goods and personal property. Subject to what Austrian 

economists call “indirect taxation.” In principle, as the framers of the Constitution realized, the direct tax is most vicious since it directly denies the sanctity of 

private property. The indirect tax is a backhanded recognition of the right of the individual to his earnings. But even this wasn’t imposed until World War I to 

pay the war to end all wars, and it was considered temporary at the time. Just like the phase from Orwell’s Animal Farm “ Each according to his abilities and 

each according to his needs.” So, the state sneaks up on the owner, so to speak, and takes what it needs on the grounds of necessity. The direct tax boldly and 

unashamedly proclaims the prior right of the state to all property. Private ownership becomes a temporary and revocable stewardship. Just as socialists claim all 

property belongs to the state, they also claim all money belongs to the state. I contend all money and property belong to the people, as it originates with their 

labors. The little part in the Constitution about personal property rights. Now, let’s get to the taxation of labor. Labor is not only YOUR property but the spirit 

of God-given talent deep inside your soul. It is your outward manifestation of your spirit. Is it not? Taxing labor is a direct tax as any Austrian economist would 

say. Directly taxing labor is the state declaring that your labor belongs to them and that they will get paid a portion when you work. Not only will you become a 

forced tax collector for the state, but with this Republican plan the state will also make you charge a percentage to the person you bill for YOUR labor. This tax 

is the fee the person pays the state to lend your labor out. It does not matter if it is one penny on the dollar or one penny per thousand dollars. Morally, this is 

wrong. NOBODY owns your labor but you. Have we become indentured to the state? In fact, this borders on Feudalism. I am sure Elizabeth Warren is proud of 

the Republicans for advancing her views, and Thomas Jefferson is probably rolling over in his grave. The Jeffersonian ideal of inalienable rights is liquidated and 

substituted for it is the Marxist concept of state supremacy. Budgets such as this one, rather than an appeal to reason, or education, is how socialism creeps up 

slowly until you get knock in the middle of the night. The Individual no longer is a citizen but is a subject of the government. The new Republicans quote Jefferson 

but practice Hamilton. Quoting Jefferson gets votes and cheers. Let’s face it. Jefferson lost, and we live in a Hamiltonian world. The new Republicans and 

their taxing of labor are proof. Borrowing a phrase from a famous Republican, whenever we tax something, we get less of it. When we tax labor, we discourage 

people from working. We reduce their incentives to work at the top and bottom of the income spectrum. It will also create an underground labor force. 

So, in conclusion, taxing labor is morally wrong. 

What’s next? I am sure that this will die down, and people will accept it. I still won’t get it in many people’s eyes. The all-powerful state usually wins, and I will 

keep on doing my August Landmesser impersonations.

Dear Dr. Crime: I see our State has cut the mental health budget by $110 million and plans on 

another cut of $152 million next year. If any of our NC crooks are “nuts” will that affect crime rates? 

Bless our Gov. Pat for cutting government costs. We must do that, so I want to find independent & 

objective research of the effects. 

Over Taxed Citizen 

Dear OTC: I also have much admiration for Gov. Pat and his work to cut out unneeded government 

costs. It is important the measurement of effects be objective, and non-governmental. Scientists 

believe government based research of itself is questionable. I will report later about research 

findings on government programs. As for the impact of cutting mental health costs, researchers 

from NCSU and RTI report1 there may be counterproductive outcomes, at least for criminal 

justice. They studied 15,000 people and found that basic mental health services reduces rates of 

violence, victimization and arrests. As a 2011 study2 found the net annual burden of crime to exceed 

$1 trillion, and as we have moral/ethical obligations to others, we want to reduce the number 

of future victims as much as possible.

Gun Tips 

By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges 

We are living in dangerous times. With that in mind what 

can be done to increase personal and family safety. A simple 

replacement of screws in locks on doors that will pass through 

the jamb and enter the studs; the same applies to doors . 

Windows are a bit different. There are double headed nails 

(we call them form nails) that will pin the top and bottom 

sash together. Just drill a hole the size of the nail through the 

lower sash and into the upper sash about half the thickness of 

the material and insert the nail. Time and stealth help the 

bad guys and anything you can do to slow their progress is to your advantage. Alarms are great and 

may be purchased or leased. Do you have a safe room? That well may save your life. One way in 

and out. Don’t forget the phone for 911 calls. A gun will give more protection, however, it should 

not be used until you see the villain. Never shoot through the door; you may injure a police officer 

who has responded to your situation. Also loudly state you are armed and have called for assistance. 

That may be enough to discourage the perp and he may leave. Remain in the safe room until 

notified police are in the building. Have a defense plan and practice it with family members. Use 

common sense and good judgement. Train with your firearm, unloaded of course, until you know 

what all the controls do so during an emergency you will not fumble around with it. Evaluate your 

limitations and adjust accordingly. This also applies to a gun. Use as much power as you are capable 

to safely handle. Train smart. Observe surroundings. 

BE SAFE, BE ALERT, BE ALIVE.

THE LIGHTER SIDE OF A SERIOUS SUBJECT Austrian School of Economics 

By Gary Edwards 

A professor friend once expressed dismay at the salary of athletes and entertainers. She had read that Michael Jordan had signed a $30-million contract to play 

basketball for the Chicago Bulls for one year. For eight months of “playing a game,” His Airness would receive this astronomical salary. She had spent 10 years 

after high school getting an advanced degree to teach English literature at a state college. She earned about $50,000 per annum for this worthwhile and muchneeded 

work. 

Her distress was understandable, I suppose. I have heard this argument many times, even voiced the seeming injustice myself at times: How in the world can 

these “jocks” and rock stars and movie stars make such obscene amounts of money, when teachers and carpenters and truck drivers live paycheck to paycheck? 

Doesn’t seem fair or logical, does it? 

Well, perhaps not. But let’s see if we can shine some light(heartedness) on this subject. It is called market economics, and often econ is referred to as the “dismal 

science.” It need not be. We’ll take a look at the explanation offered by a group of Austrian economic thinkers. 

Most notable of these thinkers were F.A. Hayek and Ludwig Von Mises. These gentlemen proposed that the best way to organize economics activity was through 

the free market. Based upon the notion that there are only so much to go around, they stated that people trading freely among themselves would produce the best 

method to organize economic activity. In econ speak, we call this the laws of supply and demand. Scarce resources must be allocated to satisfy unlimited human 

demands. Borrowing from the Great Scot, Adam Smith, father of modern economics, the Austrians thought that a system of prices would organize economic 

activity spontaneously without any of the individuals being aware of a so-called “larger purpose” --- fairness, or government intervention, or any otherwise noble 

notion. In Smith’s famous formulation “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to 

their own interest.” 

In modern terms, if you want steak, sell your bread, beer --- or used cars, or computers, or other resource you have to offer in the marketplace --- and use that 

income to buy a rib eye. After all, there are only so many steaks to go around. In more econ speak, this called scarcity. 

To return to our unhappy educator, many people can teach English. It is a cliche that there are plenty of Ph.D.s waiting tables. On the other hand, there is only 

one Michael Jordan, as he himself once pointed out.

SCUPPERNONG RIVER FESTIVAL 2015 

By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com 

The Scuppernong River Festival is an all day street festival held in Columbia, NC on the second Saturday of October each 

year. The festival began in 1991 with the help of J.D. Brickhouse (county manager), Carlisle Harrell (town manager), and 

Francis Voliva (county extension director). They formed a committee to organize and host an annual local festival centered 

around Columbus Day, The Scuppernong River, and the Scuppernong grape which grows locally. The festival has grown 

from the early days of mostly local vendors and attendees to crowds of 8,000 or more from all around eastern North Carolina. 

The festival kicks off with a large parade featuring marching bands, floats, and many other entries. During the day 

there is live music of all genres, games/rides for children, vendors (selling food, arts/crafts, clothing, and many other products), 

displays such as US Coast Guard rescues, BMX bike displays, helicopter rides, antique cars and tractors, and many 

other fun things. The day ends with a spectacular fireworks display on the Columbia waterfront followed by a street dance 

featuring a great band. For locals, the festival is like a huge family reunion or high school class reunion … a chance to see 

and visit with family or friends not seen in years. This year is the 24th Annual Scuppernong River Festival and will be held 

on October 10, 2015. This year’s festival will feature the opening parade, helicopter rides, all day music & entertainment, 

local foods & products, canoe rides, water activities, as well as rides and amusements for the kids. There will be an awesome 

fireworks display followed by a concert featuring the music of Brae V. King. It promises to be great day of food and fun, so 

make plans to visit Columbia on October 10th and be a part of the excitement of SCUPPERNONG RIVER FESTIVAL 

2015!!! See you there!

Offshore Fishing..... 

by Jake Worthington 

Fall is a great season to go offshore and fish for Dolphin, Wahoo and Tuna. Typically, anglers targeting Yellowfin Tuna 

during this time do so by trolling Ballyhoo or artificial baits. Tuna during this time of year can also be skittish and bite 

shy. I have found one way to catch Tuna during this time that is both effective and fun. I do this by using topwater 

plugs. Topwater plugs are a great way to spark a bite and start a feeding frenzy. Watching a Tuna charge the topwater 

plug and explode out of the water and bite is a sight to behold. Topwater plugs are not limited only to only Tuna. I have 

used them with great success on Gaffer Dolphin, Cobia, Amberjack, and even Barracuda. It is a simple set up and to be 

successful all you need to know is how to cast and select the right equipment. I can’t help you with the cast, but I can 

help you with your equipment set up. 

The first thing you will need is a large quality spinning reel and rod combo. I use the Penn Spinfisher V 8500 

Reel paired with good 7 to 8 foot rod. In selecting a rod, you will need one that has some backbone but still flexible to cast. I put 50 pound braid on the reel and 

put 80 pound fluorocarbon leader on the end of the braid. Next, I put a Billfisher barrel swivel on the fluorocarbon. Do not skimp on the leader and use regular 

leader. The fluorocarbon is a must because the line is invisible in the water and that is important. I have had people with me topwater plugging and I am getting 

bites, but they are not. The difference turned out to be the fluorocarbon. I had it and they did not because they were trying to save some money. Sometimes saving 

money costs you money, and that is so in this case. Now we have the setup complete and all we need is the topwater plug. 

Topwater plugs range in price from $12.00 up to $100. I have used them all with great success. I mostly use Williamson and Yo-Zuri Plugs according 

to what species I am targeting. When I am Tuna fishing, I prefer Yo-Zuri Sashimi and Sashimi 3D Floating Poppers in 5 7/8 inches and 8 inch sizes. Yo-Zuri 

has really improved their plugs by adding 3D and color change features. The first thing I do is apply a snap ring to the front of the lure eye and attach it to the 

barrel swivel. Now we are ready to fish! I ride in the tower, and I can see the fish come to the surface. When you see them, you need to determine where they are 

headed, cast in front of them, and immediately start hard jigging the lure across the surface. If they don’t bite, repeat and make the action more severe. When 

one bites, get ready for a great fight!

BLACK LIVES MATTER…To Whom by C.L. Cooke 

I recently listened to a YouTube talk by Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory. The Black legislator pointed out that he was not supporting the campaign for 

the incumbent US Senator from his state. He stated while she flies around on private jets and sips champagne, the area he represents, “the Hill”, has been poor 

for generations and is not getting any better. You see, Senator Guillory is tired of the broken promises, continued poverty, and black voter loyalty to the Democratic 

Party that makes promises they do not keep. His comments bring to mind the same rut we continue to perpetuate in my Congressional District, the North 

Carolina 1st (NC01). Black poverty has dominated my district for over one hundred and thirty years. Our current representative, like many of his predecessors 

is black. During over a century of Democratic Party representation in Washington, DC, we have remained poor, and too, black voters here support the 

Democrat at the cost of their personal and family well-being. While our quality of life only improves from technology and scattered retail growth, the burden is 

multiplied by the fact that state legislators from both political parties, Democratic and Republican, long ago bought into the premise that Northeastern North 

Carolina should look to Virginia for jobs and prosperity. We cannot be any worse off by voting a career politician out of office for we have not been any better 

off reelecting them. Remember, only you know how you vote once you enter the voting booth. As God’s children, we all matter. God sees no color, nor should 

we, and it certainly is apparent that our lives matter little to the same ole politicians who song and dance us and do not deliver. Please search Elbert Guillory and 

heed his words. Stop, think, and vote on every Election Day. Senator Guillory helped defeat Landrieu in Louisiana, and Hagan in North Carolina. The public 

discourse is exposing many truths about the past, and the 2016 election cycle can put NC01 back on the burner to recover from over a century of neglect. We 

The People can pull together. We have the numbers on our side. Let’s us use our strength. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight; Jesus 

loves the little children of the world. The future is for them. 



Enjoy Outer Banks Seafood - It’s Fish In A Bag! 

By Rosie Hawthorne 

Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com 

I’m going to show you a technique for cooking fish you may have overlooked – poisson en papillote, or fish 

in paper to us. En papillote is French for “in parchment.” It’s a moist-heat cooking method in which the food 

is put in a folded package, sealed, and baked. The food is steamed in its own flavorful liquids and juices. As 

the packet heats, air inside expands and the flavors of the ingredients are swept into it, swirling throughout the 

packet. The food is cooked with flavored air and the ingredients form a sauce of their own essence. 

Some understanding of your ingredients is necessary so you know what flavors and seasonings work together, but 

the en papillote method easily lends itself to numerous flavor profiles. 

Cooking en papillote is a gentle, delicate cooking method perfect for any white fish fillet - cod, striped bass or 

rockfish, grouper, mahi mahi, or flounder. It encourages the cook to experiment with different flavor combinations, 

allowing the ingredients to flavor and complement each other. Add fresh herbs and wine and you have 

culinary synergy, where the total is more than the sum of its parts. 

Rockfish En Papillote 

Rockfish fillets, 4-5 ounces each 

Carrot, peeled 

Celery 

Onion 

Multicolored peppers 

Old Bay seasoning 

Lemon slices 

Unsalted butter pats 

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 

White wine 

Thinly slice the carrot, celery, onion, peppers, and lemon. 

Fold a large square of parchment paper in half and cut a heart shape out of it. 

Place the fillet against the fold of one half of the heart. 

Top with vegetable strips. 

Dot with butter. 

Season lightly with kosher salt, 

freshly ground pepper, 

and Old Bay. 

To seal, begin at the top of the heart, fold over a small piece of parchment, move to the side a quarter inch and fold 

over the next piece so that it holds down the first fold. Continue moving, fold after fold, until you’ve worked within 

an inch or two of the end. Pour in some wine. How much is up to you. 

Continue folding and crimping to the tip, and tuck the tip under the parchment to seal. 

 

For more recipes and tours through Rosie’s Garden, visit me at KitchensAreMonkeyBusiness.com. 

 

 

 

 

Place parchment packages onto rimmed baking tray and bake at 350° for about 22 minutes. 

Let packets rest about 3-5 minutes, letting the steam and flavors do their magic. 

Open the packet and inhale the wafting steam and aroma. It’s intoxicating.

A History of Slavery in My Family- The Parks and the Arnold’s of Newnan, Georgia- Part I© 

by Wanda E. Hunt McLean 

wehunt@roadrunner.com 

As promised months ago, and hopefully without boring the readers of the articles I write in this magazine, I am going to tell you my story in reference to slavery 

on my maternal side of the family. People are always asking me how I developed such an interest in the Underground Railroad. These stories will somewhat 

explain ‘why’ and will be covered in two to three articles in Tradewinds over the next couple of months. 

I grew up thinking that all of my mother’s people were natives of Atlanta, Georgia. I was finally informed that three of her grandparents were natives of Newnan, 

Coweta County, Georgia, which is located 38 miles southwest of Atlanta. No one was trying to hide anything, but as a child it wasn’t considered important. 

Newnan was established as the county seat of Coweta County replacing the town of Bullsboro in 1828. Newnan was named for the North Carolinian General 

Daniel Newnan. The town quickly became a prosperous location for lawyers, doctors, and other professionals and merchants. Much of this prosperity was due to 

“King Cotton” which depended heavily on slave labor. Newnan was largely untouched by the Civil War because it was classified as a hospital city for Confederate 

troops during the Civil War. Much of the antebellum architecture is still intact, and the town is known as the “City of Homes” due to street after street of 

some of the most beautiful antebellum homes I have seen anywhere in the South. Because of its beautiful architecture, Newnan is known as a favorite location for 

many movies and television shows. For instance, several scenes from the movies Fried Green Tomatoes and Driving Miss Daisy, and the NBC drama I’ll Fly Away 

were filmed in and around Newnan. 

Byrd and Welcome Parks were brothers originally from England. They traveled from England to Brunswick County, Virginia and from there to Oglethorpe 

County, Georgia, and finally Coweta County in 1826-27 when the county was formed from Indian lands. The two brothers settled one mile apart, 8 miles from 

Newnan, and built homes. Byrd Parks was one of my 4th white maternal great grandfathers. 

Byrd Parks and his first wife had several children. Their oldest son was Thomas H. Parks, my 3rd white maternal great grandfather. Thomas was married twice. 

He and his first wife, Martha Smith of Oglethorpe Co. Georgia, had one son, John Ira Parks, my 2nd white great grandfather. After Martha’s death Thomas married 

Clara Atkinson of Brunswick County, VA. Together they had the following children; Thomas Byrd, Joseph, William Henry, James Alvin, and Emily. 

Thomas owned a very large plantation with many slaves located on a 1,000 acre plantation called Charlesburg. According to my mother a few years ago, the plantation 

house still stands. Thomas’ son, John Ira, had a child by one of his father’s young slaves named Rebecca, called Becky. The child was a son, who was given 

the name Henry Harrison Parks, one of my mulatto maternal great grandfathers. Henry was born on June 2, 1844 (Family Records). Unfortunately there is little 

mention of John Ira Parks in county or state records most likely because many white people considered him to be undesirable since he openly fathered slaves and 

admitted to doing so according to local oral history. 

John Ira’s white son Bill Parks, Henry’s half-white brother, grew up to be a well-known jockey. He learned horses early because his grandfather Thomas H. Parks 

raised horses on his plantation. Bill had his own race track on his grandfather’s plantation and he eventually took over the job of raising and grooming fine riding 

horses and prized race horses. One well known horse was 

‘Sugar John’. Bill was killed by a train while crossing a train 

track on horseback. It was either nighttime, or Bill was drunk, 

or he was trying to outrun the train on horseback. He left 

three sons; Edward Parks, Byrd Parks, and Joe Parks. 

In the “last will and testament” of Thomas H. Parks, signed 

by Thomas himself, dated September 8, 1852, Coweta 

County, he left Becky and her son Henry to his son John 

Ira. Becky also had another son named Burwell. Thomas’ 

“will” also stated that three of his slaves were to be sold to 

pay for his funeral. The witnesses to this “will” were John 

M. Lundie, J.E.P. Hummerat, and I.H. Graham, Coweta 

Co., Georgia, Court of Ordinary, 

Book B, page 69, 1849-1892.

Frisco Native American Museum 

VOLUNTEERS ADD VARIETY TO MUSEUM PROGRAMS 

In the midst of beautiful art, ancient artifacts, and educational exhibits and displays filled with rare and 

unusual relics, staff at the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center consider one of their 

greatest treasures to be the volunteers who assist with everything from landscaping to program services. 

“It is impossible for us to overstate how important volunteers are to the museum, “said executive 

director Carl Bornfriend. “They are involved in almost everything we do. They help us clean our stretch of 

the highway as part of the museum’s participation in NC’s Adopt a Highway program; they provide special 

classes, seek donations, and work tirelessly with us on exhibits and displays.” 

Some museum volunteers have helped for twenty years or more while others provide assistance for 

special events. Mitch Mayhew, a long-term volunteer and talented flutist, has helped at fifteen Powwows 

sponsored by the museum. While his beautiful hand crafted flutes can be found in the museum gift shop, 

his latest project is one that will result in the creation of a native village on the museum nature trail. 

“When I think of Mitch, I am reminded of the old adage, ‘Those who can, do. Those who can do 

more, volunteer,” said Carl Bornfriend. Mayhew is leading a team of volunteers who recently began carving 

a canoe from a ten foot Cyprus log and are now drafting plans for a full scale long house. The project 

involves twenty or more volunteers but their numbers are expected to grow since the project will eventually 

include annual Village Days open to the public. 

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and is located on Hatteras island in Frisco. For more information, 

visit the web site at www.nativeamericanmuseum.org or call 252-995-4440.

Cotton Mill Museum of History located at 420 Elliott Street where ticket holders will be able to tour the 

museum before and after the walk. The museum is normally only open Saturday and Sundays from 10 

am – 2 pm so this will be an excellent opportunity for many who have not been to the museum to do so. 

For those in the area, the Ghost Walk Committee is looking to add to the collection of ghost stories from 

Chowan County and Edenton. If you have any that you would like to submit or are interesting in 

volunteering, please contact the Chamber at 252.482.3400 or by email win.dale@edenton.nc.gov. 

Tickets are $10 each and may be purchased Monday through Friday at the Chamber office at 101 West 

Water Street or by phone (252.482.3400). Payment can be made by cash, check, and credit cards. Tours 

will leave every half hour starting at 6 pm with the final tour leaving at 8 pm.

Rose Buddies Golf Cart on Display 

BY: Leonard lanier, assistant curator, museum of the albemarle 

This October, the Museum of the Albemarle will roll out one of its hidden treasures: the Rose Buddies Golf 

Cart. 

In the early 1980s, in an effort to revitalize Elizabeth City’s industrial waterfront, the town created Mariners’ 

Wharf. The recreational dock offered free slips for two days to attract boaters on the Intercostal Waterway to stop 

and spend time and money in Elizabeth City. 

Late one Sunday afternoon in 1983, Frederick Lumsden “Fred” Fearing and Joseph “Joe” Kramer, decided on a 

whim to take wine, cheese, and cut roses from Kramer’s garden to the 17 boats docked at the new wharf. The impromptu 

gathering generated such a positive response that Fearing and Kramer decided to welcome every incoming 

boater with the same gesture. Nicknamed the Rose Buddies, the two became national celebrities, especially 

after NBC meteorologist Willard Scott gave Fearing a brand-new Club Car golf cart on a live episode of The 

Today Show in 1985. 

Natives of the Elizabeth City, both Fearing and Kramer came from long established Albemarle families with 

Northeastern roots. Fearing’s great-grandfather, Isaiah Fearing, a transplanted Rhode Islander, played a key role 

in creating the local shipbuilding industry. Kramer’s grandfather was a Pennsylvania carpetbagger who developed 

the local timber industry. 

Over time, other Elizabeth City residents joined Fearing and Kramer as the town’s unofficial welcoming committee. 

When Kramer died in 1987, friends relocated Kramer’s rose bushes to Mariners’ Wharf. Upon Fearing’s 

death in 2007, the remaining Rose Buddies retired his golf cart to the Museum of the Albemarle. 

This fall, revisit the Rose Buddies tradition in the Harbor of Hospitality. We have the golf cart and the roses; just 

bring along the wine and the cheese.

Not Your Time 

Dedicated to Dean Bruce 

I remember the sounds 

The screeching tires 

The breaking glass 

I saw a tunnel 

Long and fog enveloped 

Spiraling into the distance 

I traversed the tunnel 

Not walking, but as though floating 

Then I came to the end 

I exited the tunnel and into the light 

Wow, I exclaimed 

As I stared in wide eyed wonder 

The sounds of the rushing crystal river 

Reflecting light of the river 

And on to the lush green meadows 

I gazed in starstruck awe 

And there he was 

My dad, who’d gone on long before 

I ran up and hugged him tight 

Holding him tight, I was home 

He held me in his loving arms 

And broke my heart. 

Its not your time, He said. 


Northeast North Carolina Family History - Happy Family History Month! By: Irene Hampton - 

nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

Yes, genealogists have adopted October as Family History Month. To aid you in your genealogy pursuit, I will continue with even more on Internet research 

– but this time – BOOKS! 

As I mentioned last month, the FamilySearch website has a large collection of digitized books. You may access them by going to their homepage, choosing the 

Search link, and then the link for books. The site partners with many other well known U.S. genealogy depositories including the Allen County Public Library, 

Houston Public Library, Mid-Continent Public Library and the Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research as well as others. 

Closer to home the East Albemarle Regional Library provides an online service with the use of your library card barcode to HeritageQuest’s catalog of over 

28,000 books. Go to www.earlibrary.org and the fourth link down on the right will be the HeritageQuest logo. After choosing it you will be asked to enter the 

number on your card. You will have access to a number of data bases including the US census, US Indian Census rolls, city directories and others as well as their 

book collection. While I’ve not had this experience, a patron came in and we checked under the surname she was interested in. When a book written 100 years 

previous about her family by an ancestor who had known the people he wrote about popped up, I admit to feeling a little jealous. 

HeritageQuest has also digitized a book I often used “The Map Guide to the U. S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920” by Thorndale and Dollarhide. It is a reference 

book at local libraries so being online is a real benefit. It allows you to see the county development in each of the states. Your ancestor may never have moved 

but may appear in different counties when the boundaries were redrawn. 

East Carolina University has a wonderful digital collection through the Joyner Library. “Three Hundred Years Along the Pasquotank: a biographical History of 

Camden County” by Jesse Forbes Pugh was an oft requested reference book and therefore not available to check out. It IS available through ECU’s digital collection 

at digital.lib.ecu.edu where five categories are listed. The last three are of particular interest; “The Daily Reflector” 1949-1967, Eastern North Carolina Digital 

Library and the East Carolina Manuscript Collection. I found all kinds of interesting books worthy of exploration including “General History of the pyrates” 

by Captain Charles Johnson from the 1720’s. I’ll be looking at that one. 

An online book search I had never really used before is Google books. A search for one of my husband’s Currituck Munden ancestors turned up an account in 

the “North Carolinians in the Era of the Civil War and Reconstruction” by Paul Escott I would not have thought to look at. He was testifying on behalf of a 

Simmons neighbor. 

I also recommend a search on worldcat.org to discover books about family surnames. I did a few random searches and turned up a Brabble relative in the “International 

Who’s Who Among Hotel Men” from 1927-1928. The closest libraries with the article or book are available if you add your zip code further down on 

the left. Since it is a worldwide catalog, I decided to look for a few of my French-Canadian ancestors and turned up a relevant book held at 

Old Dominion University! 

Over the past six months I hope I have given you insights into why family history is important and what I hope have been helpful suggestions as to how to go 

about researching yours. Celebrate Family History Month by pursuing your family history – what a wonderful Christmas gift to share. Start NOW. I might 

just share more of our stories next time, one including “pyrates” or at least one very well known one.

It’s “Bootlegging, Prohibition and the Jazz Age” 

when Historic Ghost Walk Steps off Oct. 9-10 

in Elizabeth City, N.C. 

(Elizabeth City, N.C., Sept. 24, 2015) – Are you for drinking or “agin’”? Featuring the ghost of a noted North Carolina moonshiner and the folks who fought 

to flush bathtub gin down the drain, Elizabeth City’s Historic Ghost Walk takes on “Bootlegging, Prohibition and the Jazz Age,” when it presents its 19th annual 

walk, Oct. 9-10 in the city’s downtown historic district. 

More than a ghost tour, this must-see fall happening transports visitors to a point in time in Elizabeth City history, featuring actors portraying real-life characters 

with riveting stories to tell. Previous “walks” have focused on the mysterious 1901 disappearance of local ingénue Nell Cropsey, the Civil War-era Battle of 

Elizabeth City and the days when the traveling James Adams Floating Theatre treated locals to its “showboat” performances. 

This year’s event will shed the spotlight on the 1920s prohibition era with visits from Alvin Sawyer, a noted bootlegger in the Albemarle, and Bennie Halstead, 

the revenue agent who chased him for decades. Participants will also hear from the evangelist Reverend Billy Sunday, preaching against the evils of Demon 

Rum; Judge I.M. Meekins, telling how he brought North Carolina-style justice to liquor traffickers up north during his years as a federal judge in New York 

City; and the aptly-named, anti-Saloon League worker Prudence T. Drinkwater, explaining why lips that touch liquor shall never touch hers! 

The Elizabeth City Historic Neighborhood Association presents this combination house tour, history lesson, and live theater with 1920’s speakeasy music and 

entertainment at Arts of the Albemarle’s Maguire Theatre. Ghost Walk takes place from 5:30 to 9:30 pm both nights. Tickets are $12 and $10 for military and 

first responders, and may be purchased at Arts of the Albemarle, Muddy Waters Coffee House, Soho Organic Market and Page after Page Book Store. Check 

out Ghost Walk souvenirs at Ghost Walk Headquarters, 516 E. Main Street. Complementary transportation will be provided between sites. For more information, 

visit www.historicghostwalk.org.

Dockside Grill at Lamb’s Marina – Be Beyond Surprised 

by C.L. Cooke 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Wednesday night became a dining experience I will never forget. The extensive menu of land 

and sea entrees, sides, and sandwiches covers all possible choices. The specials change nightly, but 

featured specials of Prime Rib are served Friday and Saturday, as well as spaghetti on Saturday. The 

nautical themed dining room influenced me to start with the Shipwreck Salad consisting of plump 

shrimp seasoned w/Old Bay seasoning and a garlic pinch, bacon bits, grape tomatoes and feta over a 

bed of two lettuces- romaine and iceberg. The vinaigrette side was a nice blend to a quite tasty and 

refreshing salad. Next, the Pot Pie was like Grandma used to make and the sweet cornbread went 

perfectly with this Southern favorite. A side of fried green tomatoes was a special treat. Seldom 

found in our area, they were lightly battered and tasty. You may want to request a sauce of your 

choice for dipping. I next was offered the onion tanglers, a slimmed down onion ring, thinly 

battered and tasty. All ages should enjoy them. The Pile High Club sandwich with turkey, ham, 

roast beef, crispy bacon, and American cheese was complemented with a side cucumber salad consisting 

of a cleansing onion and dill sauce…A tasty and terrific combo. The Reuben did not disappoint. 

The side of sweet potato fries was heightened by the YumYum sauce – I could eat that with 

a spoon; you have to try it. I continued to wash these culinary delights down with the sweet tea. I 

changed back to seafood with the savory Grilled Tuna with a tropical topping of pico de gallo 

and fresh green beans.. You no longer have to travel all the way to the OBX for a superior taste for 

seafood and accompanying sauces. The homemade tartar and cocktail sauces were worthy of cracker 

dunking… almost a dessert delight. Speaking of dessert, hold onto your seat…Limoncello 

Mascarpone was a velvety smooth and taste bud sensation. A flavorful cup of coffee perfectly 

culminated my adventure and finding of a treasure chest of appetizing fare to surprise. The kitchen 

has created an exceptional dining experience for the people of the Albemarle. 

Thank you Jade and the Dockside Grill staff for a special evening. 

You elevated a simple man to a Wall Street tycoon in my mind.

The Forgotten American ( Jamestown, Indentured Servitude and a notion of self-governance) 

by Terrance Mann 

Just five human lifetimes ago three ships appeared on the James River off the coast of what would become the 

state of Virginia. The ship’s cargo was 100 passengers who would find starvation, disease and War with Indians, 

but no class system as they lived under in England. ( or so they thought). These privations would not stop future 

colonists from coming as the class structure in Europe would not tolerate upward mobility. Land ownership was 

“not on the table” in Europe accept for the Aristocracy. Conversely, land ownership in the “New World” was 

open to anyone who could survive the voyage. The Virginia Company established the system of governance and 

commerce. The Virginia Company was, of course, a private corporation complete with soldiers for hire. Also, it’s 

worth noting sixty-five percent of the ship’s manifest considered themselves “Gentleman.” As the other colonists 

discovered, it’s hard to get labor out of a someone who considers himself a “European Gentleman.” The Virginia 

Company extended the “ rights of Englishman” to all white males regardless of the country of origin. These rights 

hard won over several decades in England. The result of decades of fighting produced a document called the Magna 

Carta. These “Rights” automatically extended to white males as the Royalty of England considered that rising 

middle-class had won them. Individuals rights were recognized not economic rights. While the Magna Carta was 

a seminal moment in European history, the European Class structure remained unchanged. Of course, the English 

class structure extended to the Jamestown colony as the goal the Virginia Company was to recreate the feudal 

system with English individual rights. Many of the tradesman and soldiers for hire found themselves in the same 

master/slave relationship their great-great-great grandfathers enjoyed in the 11th century. Rights are important, 

but without economic mobility where are you? 

Captain John Smith took command of the triangle shaped palisade called Jamestown in 1607. The rule was “if 

you don’t work, you don’t eat.” Everyone’s labor and efforts placed into the figurative communal pile. While the 

rule seemed to work on paper, it’s actual practice required enforcement and who better to enforce the communal 

pile than the more than sixty-five percent of the “Gentleman” on the ship’s manifest. Everyone else could just live 

“their menial lives with their happy little crafts and trades” as Marcus Aurelius once stated. The 16th Emperor of 

Rome once “stoically” wrote this phase as “the blood” tribute paid to Rome allowed him the leisure to become a 

“philosopher king.” The first permanent settlement in the New World practiced communism in its purest form. 

But, wait, not so fast, how can 65% of the colony’s population play gentleman games and gamble all day while 

the rest of the colonist built huts, garden, stood guard duty? The lower “cast” were allowed to use their leisure 

time hunting or fishing to save off starvation. This experiment with communism couldn’t last as an economic 

model. The Colony leadership and Crown decided to give a land grant of 4 acres to all who could make the voyage. 

Many came as a result of the promise to own their land. Several ship’s manifest and local diaries documented 

half-starved British Subjects walking into Jamestown from the pier looking like nothing more than a skeleton, but 

they came on the promise of land. Many twisted historians like Howard Zinn argued communal living learned by 

Native Americans created America but actually what created America was land speculation and crop production. 

Of course, any objective historical narrative would never diminish the role of native peoples and their interactions 

with the Colonist. The Colonist survived through several winters with the help of Native peoples. Still, the facts 

indicate the colony didn’t get launched until many hands begin to duplicate themselves in many places at once 

with the creation of crop production and exports. No longer was the Colony dependent on the Mother Country 

for resupply. A point the left-leaning historians often leave out of the historic narrative as such an economic point 

might make one feel good about America, and most academics desire a more dependent and depressed post-modern 

mindset. Land Speculation as an economic engine seemed to be all but erased from the historical record of 

America’s beginning just like it’s founding Religion. 

A Dutch ship harbored at Jamestown in 1619. While many ships came in and out of Jamestown by this time, this 

 

ship had a special cargo that would begin to change the course of history in the New World. The ship’s cargo was 

 

20 Africans whose status could not be determined until the ship’s Captian made it known they had been Christianized 

 

while in transport. The standard for slavery in Europe and the New World was not race but religion. 

Continued Next Page 


( Continued ) 

Since the Africans were Christianized, they were given an indentured servitude period of seven 

years ( the standard time frame) rather than the label of a Slave. Many of them completed their 

indenture and became part of the Old Dominion Planters Society with their land. British 

Subjects that came to the New World practicing the older Celtic religions were placed into 

permanent slavery. Christianity was the determining factor as to the status of a free or bond new 

arrival. Christianity was the founding religion of the New World despite the modern pundits and 

their antiquated message. Later, the consciousness of Europe changed from religion to race, and 

an “alien mercantile system” began to work destruction on what could have been a stable society. 

The beginnings of rationalism and materialism became indissolubly wedded in America once 

European consciousness changed on the race issue. Another way of cheaping labor and 

continuation of the European class system without the progenitors getting their hands dirty in 

the process.

At Verona by Oscar Wilde 

How steep the stairs within Kings’ houses are 

For exile-wearied feet as mine to tread, 

And O how salt and bitter is the bread 

Which falls from this Hound’s table,—better far 

That I had died in the red ways of war, 

Or that the gate of Florence bare my head, 

Than to live thus, by all things comraded 

Which seek the essence of my soul to mar. 

“Curse God and die: what better hope than this? 

He hath forgotten thee in all the bliss 

Of his gold city, and eternal day”— 

Nay peace: behind my prison’s blinded bars 

I do possess what none can take away, 

My love, and all the glory of the stars. 

Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie 

Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 

November 1900) was an Irish author, 

playwright and poet. After writing in different 

forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of 

London’s most popular playwrights in the early 

1890s. He is remembered for his epigrams, his 

novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, as 

well as the circumstances of his imprisonment 

and early death. 

Wilde’s parents were successful Anglo-Irish 

Dublin intellectuals. Their son became fluent in 

French and German early in life. At 

university, Wilde read Greats; he proved 

himself to be an outstanding classicist, first at 

Dublin, then at Oxford. He became known 

for his involvement in the rising philosophy of 

aestheticism, led by two of his tutors, Walter 

Pater and John Ruskin. After university, Wilde 

moved to London into fashionable cultural and 

social circles. As a spokesman for aestheticism, 

he tried his hand at various literary activities: 

he published a book of poems, lectured in the 

United States and Canada on the new “English 

Renaissance in Art”, and then returned to 

London where he worked prolifically as a 

journalist. Known for his biting wit, 

flamboyant dress and glittering conversation, 

Wilde became one of the best-known 

personalities of his day.
