Alexandre Kojève (April 28, 1902 – June 4, 1968) was
a Russian-born French philosopher and statesman whose
philosophical seminars had an immense influence on 20thcentury
French philosophy, particularly via his integration
of Hegelian concepts into continental philosophy. As a
statesman in the French government, he was instrumental
in the creation of the European Union. Kojève was a close
friend of, and was in lifelong philosophical dialogue with,
Leo Strauss.
Kojeve was known as an influential and idiosyncratic
interpreter of Hegel, reading him through the lens of both
Marx and Heidegger. The well-known “End of History”
thesis advanced the idea that ideological history in a limited
sense had ended with the French Revolution and the regime
of Napoleon and that there was no longer a need for violent
struggle to establish the “rational supremacy of the regime
of rights and equal recognition.” Kojeve’s “End of History”
is different from Francis Fukayama’s later thesis of the
same name in that it points as much to a socialist-capitalist
synthesis as to a triumph of liberal capitalism.

OUR CHAMBER KEEPS GROWING AND GROWING!
By: Kelly Thorsby
Due to the limited space in our current location, the chamber has created a Capital Campaign
Fund so that we can expand our current building or move into another. Offering a larger space
to our members will allow for more educational opportunities, more networking events and
a more professional atmosphere for our members. Plans include a new conference room with
audio visual equipment, an electronic community events board and large kitchen to host several
events. Current member dues will not be raised, instead we will host some enjoyable fundraisers
and offer naming opportunities to our members.
Our first event is Saturday, August 8 at Morgans Corner Pulling Park as we host a Celebration
Concert of our USCG City Designation and our local military! $28 tickets are on sale now
at the chamber and all local Duck Thru locations. This ticket includes a concert with Emily
Minor, CMA Star Ray Scott, Old Southern Moonshine Revival and Outlaw 21 along with a
delicious Combo Platter from Leon Nixons Catering! Kids 6 and under are free and kids 7-12
years pay $10. The concert is 4-10pm (gates open at 3pm) and features a Kids Fun Zone with
Bounce Houses, Monster Truck Rides, Face Painting, Train Rides and more!
We then host our first CHAMBER-OKE Contest on Thursday, September 24! This event will
be entertaining and enjoyable for the community and the first of its kind. So we need YOU!
The talented people of our community to sing for this great cause! There will be a $10 per singer
charge to perform for our audience (group acts welcome). Singers get drink ticket and food.

Health and Nutrition Strategies For Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else
FASTING
You are what you eat, and let food be your medicine has been my mantra. It’s time to go into detail.
We have very limited control over our very toxic environment, and as a food safety specialist, I’m not optimistic about a quick turnaround. However, we
do have enormous control over what we consume.
What we consume can help you remove toxins from the body, enhance your immune system, resist cancer, resist diabetes, and promote energy.
The most effective diet should be about 2000 calories and should include nutrients from the three major macronutrient groups of fats, carbs, and protein.
My primary fat choice is extra virgin olive oil. Carbs are the most complex of the group and have the most health implications, so its vitally important to
consume the right kind. Any food with an ingredient listing demands your scrutiny. Protein is the most essential of essential nutrients, a well established
way to curb your appetite, and critical to your general well being. Over the past few months I’ve provided information on the toxicity of protein derived
from animal products. Use your discretion.
Now to the fasting part. As my readers might be aware, I have an affinity for a modified Mediterranean diet (my modification is to eliminate dairy and red
meat). In an earlier column we discussed a one or two month optimizing regimen. I’ve uncovered an interesting study funded by the National Institute of
Aging, that found that individuals who intermittently fasted had reduced factors for aging,cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The study asserts
that the regimen reprograms the body so it enters a slower aging mode while rejuvenating it.
It’s called the “Fasting Mimicking Diet”.It works like this: For twenty five days out of the month, you eat as you normally would. For day one, you would
eat 1090 calories (10% protein, 56% fat, 34% carbs). For days two-five, 725 calories (9% protein, 44% fat, 47% carbs).
With all diets, you should consult with your doctor.
Finally, over the last five years I’ve had the honor of facilitating the Albemarle Prostate Cancer Support Group, in Northeast North Carolina. It has been
some of the most fulfilling years of my life. Last month was the final meeting of the group. Thanks to the Daily Advance and Virginia Pilot for their
notifications of our meetings, and to Sentara Albemarle Hospital for their assistance and use of their facility.
To my fellow survivors, I can be reached, as always, on e-mail.

Orthodox Christianity
“CHILDREN, DO NOT DESPAIR…”by John Betjeman
ORTHODOXY AND THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
What is the Christian life?
Children, do not despair because your lives are
difficult; only struggle against sin.
Elder Sophrony of Essex
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:8
Once Saved, Always Saved?...having once chosen for Christ, having once crested the spiritual
hill on the Schwinn of the soul, so to speak, are we at liberty to sit comfortably and coast for the
remainder of our lives, leaving all to God and gravity? Or is the Christian life a battlefield in the
vast cosmic war; is my life one face of that great struggle, a life and death struggle to which I
awaken each day, to which I re-commit myself each day?
What is sin? Is it a thought? Is it an act? Blessed Seraphim of Platina says it is like a web in
which we are enmeshed. More than acts, it is dark proclivities; sinful acts are just the tip of the
iceberg. Lurking beneath each sinful act is the vast, unseen mass of our inclination to the sin. It is
the proclivity to anger, or to the lust of the flesh, or to avarice; it is a deep and abiding resentment,
or a preference for the stomach, or sloth, or gambling, or intoxicating chemicals—choose your
preference—it is the preferring of these things to the Light. The man who says that he is without
sin, lies. Or he is blind to his inner life, obtuse and insensitive to the teeming world within.
What, then, is the Work? Firstly, the sinful act must be avoided—at the very least, we must
struggle against it; even if we fail sometimes, we must struggle. This is the prerequisite; this
is like learning to count. One must learn to count before one can study geometry and
algebra and calculus.
Having set ourselves in opposition to the sin, then, we undertake the larger task, the uprooting of
its dwelling place, the dismantling of its foundation in our deep places. We begin to lay the axe to
the root of the tree.
Who can know the small, forgotten details of a life, the private pains and absences and griefs, the
unanswered longings? Who can know how the little crevices and faults were opened—the tiny
flaws into which, over long years, with our silent assent, the Beast has quietly seeped, and there
fortified himself? In each life these details are different; each human’s sinfulness is unique. Yet
all sins are the same. They all are inlets of the same dark sea, all of the same darkness,
conformed differently.
The Fathers say that each of us has a most deeply held sin, one dark tendency most tenaciously
adherent, its tendrils insinuated intimately into the bricks and mortar of our deep places, brooding,
close to our living core. And the Fathers instruct that it is this keystone sin that we must focus on
most acutely. When the grip of this dark inclination is weakened, as we patiently dissect it away
from our deep places, the other sins will be weakened, too. It is as if this darkness channels,
pirates some of our life force to our dark realm, to feed the dark army.
How is the work accomplished? How is the Beast dissected from the inner man, the deep heart?
This is the labor of Christ’s Church. This is the work of the Orthodox. The Church understands
herself to be a hospital. The hospital’s function is not fellowship. It is not about doing nice things
for God. Her task is the recovery, the regeneration of individual souls. And the man who is
satisfied with the state of his soul is a fool and deceived.
Certainly fellowship and works of mercy are part of the life of the Church. In some Western
confessions, though, they seem to have become substitutes for, distractions from the deep and
essential work. But, properly understood, these are fruits of the growth of the soul, consequences
of the labor of regeneration, a natural outpouring, an overflowing of the Divine Light from a
healing life. They should not be seen as ends in themselves.

solar plexus
2) The defender moves his body off the line of attack while parrying with either hand.
He redirects the attacking arm so that the knife clears his body
3) He maintains control of the weapon hand or arm and gouges the eyes of the attacker,
driving him backward and off balance. If the attacker is much taller than the defender, it
may be a more natural movement for the defender to raise his left hand to strike and
deflect the attacking arm. He can then gouge his thumb or fingers into the jugular notch
of the attacker and force him to the ground.

Dear Dr. Crime
Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for a social scientist holding
a Ph.D. degree in sociology and in criminology. He has
worked in all major parts of the criminal justice system.
Drop him a note at the website www.keepkidshome.net
If you or your child is in trouble, he may be able to help,
give him a call (2523390000)
Dear Dr. Crime:
Do really young kids commit crimes? How about kids that murder, what is with that?
Tradewinds Reader
Dear Reader.
Yes, young kids are capable of bad things, really bad things. At age six (yes, 6) Carl Mahan1
in Kentucky killed his friend Cecil Van Hoose, 8, over a piece of scrap iron they were going to
sell. That was in 1929. Carl went to trial for the murder of Van Hoose. The original sentencing
was 15 years in reform school, later changed to a “writ of prohibition” that kept him from going
to reform school. At that time, Carl was the youngest murder defendant in the state of Kentucky
and possibly in the country. And there are other examples. Only this week the Raleigh News
and Observer ran a story about ISIS training very young boys to behead Christians. They were
given swords and taught how to cut the head off of dolls, for “training”. In NC children ages
6-15 alleged to or have been found to have committed an undisciplined or criminal offense are
placed under court jurisdiction before their 16th birthday. It is possible to waive jurisdiction
from the juvenile court to the adult court. Yet, our SBI2 reports a 30% drop in total crimes by
juveniles (under 16) from 2008 to 2012. We are not out of the woods, awful things happen.
Dear Dr. Crime:
How does North Carolina stack up against the nation on stuff that
causes crime and delinquency?
Pastor DoGood
Dear Pastor:
Good to hear from a Man of the Cloth. If anyone outside the family unit carries a load of
responsibility for creating change in our society, it is you folks, our religious leaders.
So, feel guilty.
Very recently the Annie E. Casey Foundation issued their annual report1 describing our kids.
They are an independent group, and not subject to the same malevolent / selfish forces that effect
very many of our political leaders. Their last report on American and North Carolina kids
revealed some undesirable findings. The % of children in North Carolina living in poverty, and
also the % whose parent lack secure employment is higher than the national figures. We are
also higher than the national figures when the % of teens not in school and not working is
counted. Our State is higher than national on the % of kids not graduating from high school
on time. We are worse than national on the % of low birthweight babies and the count of kid
deaths. NC has a higher than national % of kids in single parent families and % of teen births.
These forces are typically felt to accompany juvenile crime, and we probably all agree the
learning of what is right and wrong is associated with early learning in the family unit. Let us
get on board to do more about this, and I suggest a start with all readers contacting your local
Neighborhood Watch program and seeing what you can do to cooperate.

My Favorite Firearm
By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges
What is the right handgun for you? Like buying a pair of shoes the gun must fit your hand.
Too heavy, too large, too small, or heavy caliber you will not use it. A decision must be made
for what purpose the firearm is intended. Selecting can be daunting since there are hundreds of
models to choose from. Ask questions. A good dealer will be more than willing to provide
assistance in making a selection and I promise you this—You will enjoy the shooting
experience. You will meet new friends, new challenges. Have fun (safely). Personally, I use a
Beretta 9mm and I have multiple uses for it. Training to maintain operator skill, personal
protection, conversation opener. The big plus is ammo is affordable and will get the job done.
I was asked sometime ago what is my favorite firearm is. There have been many, however, my
choice is the Colt .357magnum Python with a 4 inch barrel, the M-1 Garrand 30cal., and the
Thompson sub-machine gun. The Thompson was awesome. Downside is if you have an extra
30k and time to get federal permits, thousands of .45 cal. ACP ammo go for it. Montana is
remote enough to cut loose. Ammo is now in mind. Evaluate need and read about velocity,
ballistics, and trajectory then boil the information down to determine your need for a given
purpose. Then take two aspirin. The dealer will help you with ammo selection.
Here is the messy part; you gotta clean that gun. Wheel guns will keep on shooting and, well,
semi-autos are not forgiving when clogged with residue. Slides travel on rails, ejectors may not
eject, dirty mags will not feed well and so on.
Clean guns work and dirty ain’t going to cut it.

Music on the Green at Mariners’ Wharf Park
Announces 2015 Lineup
Eight weeks of great music on the beautiful downtown Elizabeth City
waterfront!! Music on the Green at Mariners Wharf Park began six years
ago as a way to promote the growing local music scene while encouraging
locals and visitors to enjoy the beautiful waterfront of Downtown Elizabeth
City and its independent businesses. Each year, the festival gets bigger and
better. This year will be no exception! Beginning July 28th and continuing
for eight consecutive Tuesday evenings through September 15th, local and regional bands will perform at Mariners’
Wharf Park (Water Street, across from Cypress Creek Grille) from 6:00 until 8:00 pm. Music lovers can bring a lawn chair
or a blanket, sit back and enjoy the concerts, as well as the beautiful waterfront backdrop. Each week the spotlight will be on a different artist;
a different genre of music. We have some new and exciting performers this year including CC & The Ryders, The Violent Years, Mainstream Rebellion,
and Black & White Radio. The series will open with the ever-popular local musician and restaurateur, Bobby Plough. Other returning artists include Jazz

businesses and help support them for supporting this wonderful event.

Ditch Fishing
By Jimmie Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com
One thing we have in abundance in Tyrrell County and eastern North Carolina
is water. There are sounds, rivers, creeks, lakes, ponds, canals, and just plain old
ditches. All these water sources have at least one thing in common: FISH! Yep,
there are shell crackers, bream, crappy, perch, catfish, bass, jack pike, and many
other varieties just waiting to be caught by some lucky fisherman. You don’t have
to have a high powered boat or custom rods and reels to have a good time fishing
and be able to bring home a nice mess of fresh fish to eat. You could use a canoe,
kayak, skiff, john boat, or no boat at all. All you really need is a cane pole or light
action rod & reel, some bait, a bucket or stringer, and a fishing license (if required
in your area). Bait is very important and can be an adventure in itself. The best
bait is natural critters such as earthworms, night crawlers, crickets, grasshoppers,
minnows, frogs, or grubs. If you have ever gotten these baits on your own and not
purchased them in a store then you know what I mean when I say getting bait can
be an adventure. Just imagine a warm sunny day on the bank of a shady ditch or
feet dangling off the edge of a dock or pier. Watching your cork bob and listening
to the birds sing while you catch a mess of bream, might be the therapy that folks
need in these stressful times. The opportunity to get outside in the fresh air and
enjoy the beauty of nature while catching your self a meal … what a great
experience. And, don’t forget to take along a kid once in a while to pass along the
knowledge and fun of “ditch fishing”.

Fishing on the Albatross III
by Jake Worthington
Have you ever wanted to go back in time and see what it was like to fish in the 1940’s when sport fishing was just being
discovered off of Hatteras? Well, you are in luck because you can book a trip on one of Hatteras Island’s iconic boats
known as the Albatross Fleet. The Albatross Fleet was built by Captain Ernie Foster’s father, Ernal Foster, who was the
pioneer Hatteras Sportfishing, and they are still sailing today. I first learned about this unique business many years ago
when I was fishing in Hatteras, and I saw the boats running down a weed line on the Gulf Stream. These boats are very
unique and really stand out in the modern fleet. Captain Ernie Foster is a walking history of Hatteras Sportfishing, and
I have been fortunate to sit through several of his presentations. There was even a book written about Captain Ernal
Foster and how the business of sport fishing got started and evolved on Hatteras Island. The book is titled Hatteras
Blues: A Story from the Edge of America by Tom Carlson.
I was very fortunate last year to be a guest on the Albatross III and fish with Captain Enie Foster himself. This is one trip that I had wanted to go on for
many years, and I could barely sleep the night before. I was at the dock early that morning and ready to fish on this boat. As I got on the boat, I thought about
how many people have enjoyed a trip on this legendary vessel. I thought about what it would be like in the 1940’s days before accurate weather forecasts, GPS,
Depth Finders, and reliable radios. I thought about how the captains must have felt the first time they went out of Hatteras Inlet and headed 20 miles offshore
of the Graveyard of the Atlantic to fish with only a compass and navigation paper chart. Stepping on the boat for the first time was like a religious experience of
visiting the Holy Land for the first time. On these boats, the sport of Billfishing off the North Carolina Coast was born. Our trip that day was going to give us at
least what it felt like to ride out during those early days. We loaded our gear and headed out to the inlet.
We arrived with seas ranging about 3-4 feet. Captain Foster lowered the bamboo outriggers, and we were fishing. The rough seas were making the ride
a little rough, but we were catching Mahi. While we were fishing, it rained a couple of times making trip just like old times because there is no air conditioned
salon to escape to-- just an open cockpit. Before long our day of fishing was over, and we were headed back in. When we were heading in, we had about ten
charter boats behind us following Captain Ernie back to the docks. None of them passed us-- as if they were respecting him and the boat.
What a great day it was.

Dear Bill Clinton,
by C.L. Cooke
Forget you. I really got to appreciate and like you once upon a time. That is until you sold America down the river. I respect your dedication to your wife…
now. But your choice to forsake your country for your political party (Democrat) and her future political aspirations seals the deal…you should be challenge
to a duel for such an act.
You know as well as I that the current administration is well on the way to punishing our country for the past. Whether the current leader is a Socialist, or
Anti-Colonialist, or truly not a Christian, or whatever other labels put on him, your complicity is not acceptable.
You may share a New World Order vision where American sovereignty becomes an historical footnote. In that case, I understand you better… not enough to
forgive you though. Any decent Bubba is a patriot first and foremost. When it all shakes out and our efforts to salvage the freedom loving country of our birth is
reestablished, where America remains a constitutional based democracy, you can head elsewhere. Hillary will not stand a chance either. Her political future is
shot…her ineptness from Benghazi to email-gate. and the arrogance of privilege that you folks use to insulate yourselves from ethics, morality, and justice, has
turned our stomachs. The Clinton political legacy is already in the tank…and why??? Check your ego! You may relate best to the wealthy, but poor lives matter,
and you and yours are just as expendable as the many poor folks who once supported you, You forced us to wisen up. If our political loyalty to one party is
now questioned more than ever, we may just have reached the point of disgust.
The upcoming campaign for 2016 elections will again be full of hollow promises, lies, deception, and all the strategies that have fooled us in the past. But know
the light bulb just went on in our brain and the illumination shines for freedom, truth, and a return to a future for our children that is truly transparent… not
because your minions say so, but rather we can now see the truth is in the lack of economic opportunity, the widening gap between rich and poor, and an
America where we do not feel safer from the evil forces that threaten our survival.
Hasta la vista, baby

Life’s A Peach - A Carolina Peach Beehive!
By Rosie Hawthorne
Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com
“The walls were wet and sticky, and peach juice was dripping from the ceiling. James opened his mouth and caught some
of it on his tongue. It tasted delicious.”
Roald Dahl “James and the Giant Peach”
North Carolina peaches are one of the greatest pleasures of life. Biting into a peach and having the juices drool down
your chin is a sublime feeling. Plucking a peach off the tree and holding it is like having summer in your hand.
I’ve taken the peach, wrapped it in strips of pie dough, and created a Peach Beehive that elevates the peach to
unforeseen heights.
Peach Beehives
4 peaches, skin on, washed, and left damp
1 refrigerated pie crust (I use Pillsbury’s refrigerated rolled dough.)
Cut refrigerated pie crust into ½-inch strips. Starting at the bottom of the peach,
coil the pie strips around the peach, pressing the edges of the dough to seal the seams.
Cover the entire peach.
Place peaches on a cookie sheet bottoms up. Top each with a pat of butter and sprinkle turbinado sugar, cinnamon, and
freshly grated nutmeg over the pastry.
Bake in a 425° oven about 40 minutes, or until pastry is nicely browned.
While the beehives bake, prepare the Hard Sauce.
Hard Rum Sauce
½ stick butter
½ cup powdered sugar
1 TB cream
Rum to taste (Start with 1 TB.)
In small saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in powdered sugar and cream. Stir in rum to taste.
Pour warm sauce over beehives.

MANUEL, the Outlaw
by Wanda E. Hunt McLean
wehunt@roadrunner.com
Slaves usually escaped for the same basic reasons. One reason was to re-unite with a family member. Slave owners who realized this did everything within
their power to keep slave family units together on the plantation.
In 1833 in the Elizabeth City Star and Eastern Intelligencer, a $200 reward was posted for EVE and SALL who escaped with the assistance of a slave
named MANUEL. Manuel was considered “an outlaw among Pasquotank planters and earned great notoriety among the planters in the 1830s for
helping slaves escape and for harboring them.” (Cecelski, 129) Manuel decided that he wanted his wife back, Eve, who was presently living on a
plantation in Hertford, Perquimans County. He also decided to help an old slave name GEORGE kidnap his wife SALL from the same plantation. In the
past both men were known for visiting their wives often and returning to their plantation in Pasquotank.
As I noted, Manuel was known for harboring the slaves he snatched. How did he manage to do such, you ask? He managed “with the assistance of white
persons at or near Elizabeth City,” and once the two women were settled in the same location they were placed “under the protection of that noted villain
Manuel and his brothers.” (Parker, 752) It was rumored that they were planning to board a vessel on the Pasquotank River and travel on to New Orleans.
Manuel was able to do this because he had assistance and cooperation from other people who knew that this country’s institution of slavery was wrong.
White people somewhere in Elizabeth City hid the slaves he rescued, and his brothers assisted by protecting them until they could safely continue their
escape on the Pasquotank River. This demonstrates how people of different colors and backgrounds came together to help other people gain their freedom.
People who realized the cruelty of slavery put everything they owned and worked for at risk to help others live as free human beings.
One reason slaves escaped was because their family members were often sold to another plantation. Mothers were separated from children, husbands and
wives were separated, etc., and many slaves did not adjust to leaving the plantations where they were born and raised. Truancy or absenteeism was
common among the slaves because they often left the plantation for a weekend up to several weeks to visit a family member on another plantation without
permission from the slave owner. The slave usually returned to his or her plantation with little or no consequences. In many situations the slaves did not
return as demonstrated by Eve and Sall. The ad does not specify, but Manuel and George probably left with them.
This slave runaway ad like thousands of others posted in North Carolina also demonstrates the importance of the State’s numerous waterways. Many of our
rivers reach hundreds of miles from the Atlantic Ocean or Sounds into the State. These rivers also have many creeks that branch off. Considering the
commerce that depended on our waterways and the large number of slaves and free blacks working in commerce, it’s no wonder that slaves were able to
escape or assist others to escape. There is no mention in the ad that Manuel was adept in navigation or steering vessels. However, he probably had the
assistance from a ship captain traveling through Elizabeth City on the Pasquotank River, or the assistance of black men who worked on a vessel. With
Manuel in charge, they probably successfully reached their destination.

I would like to speak about a free service that the North Carolina Bowhunter’s
Association(NCBA) provides landowners who want to control deer and other wildlife through
bowhunting. This service is called the Bowhunter Certification and Referral Service(BCRS).
This service has been in place since 2005. BCRS members are tasked with controlling deer
populations on a variety of properties that vary in size from less than 1 acre to several
thousand acres. Members could be hunting in someone’s backyard, at the edge of a golf course
or in a secluded forest that is filled with wildlife. The main goal is to help control the deer
population on the landowner’s property.
How can you become a member of the BCRS? 1) All certified members must be an active
member of the NCBA and are required to remain active as long as they are certified in the
BCRS program. 2) All members are required to complete a certified HUnter Safety Course
and the International Bowhunter Education Program(IBEP) or the NCWRC’s “Today’s Bowhunter”
course. 3) All participants are required to submit an application to the NCBA-BCRS
chairman or his designee. 4) An application renewal fee is assessed to all applicants. 5) All
applicants must pass an Accuracy and Proficiency Test with the bow(s) they will be hunting
with.(being able to place 6 out of 10 shots inside a 6” circle at: 15yds for traditional bows, or
at 20 yds for compound bows) 6) Applicants must sign and notarize a “waiver of Liability”
including a “Hold Harmless Clause” to be kept on file with the program coordinator. 7)
Successful applicants will receive a personal ID card after certification. Some of the very large
hunts require 50 or more hunters or as many are as needed according to the property size.
Additional liability insurance is provided by the being a BCRS member, is up to $2 million
liability policy that covers NCBA BCRS members while hunting on BCRS agreement
properties. for more information on this program please go to North Carolina Bowhunters
Association
Consider becoming a member of the NCBA, if you are in a club please consider having the
club join the NCBA CHAPTERS.

Frisco Native American Museum
One of the “in-progress” exhibits at the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center
is the display of Native American Police Tribal Patches. While the collection numbers over fifty patches, the
exhibit is considered a work in progress because the museum is always seeking new items for the display.
Although tribal police historically held a variety of titles, the best known may be the lighthorsemen.
In the late 1700’s, some tribes had no organized law enforcement structure and were subject to police hired by
United States Indian agents. However, other tribes such as the Cherokee, had well-developed systems of
tribal laws and tribal courts. Their system included regulatory companies of mounted horsemen organized
to deal primarily with horse and property theft. Over time, the companies gradually became known as the
“Lighthorsemen,” and their authority was expanded to include more serious crimes. The name was also
adopted by the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. The Lighthorsemen were generally organized into
companies and responsible for different districts. In most cases, individuals were required to provide their
own horse and weapon. When the tribes lost their native lands in the late 19th century, a number of tribes
continued to use the Lighthorsemen name for elements of their police forces.
In the twenty-first century, the Bureau of Indian Affairs provides law enforcement assistance for tribes
without a reservation or police department; however, generally police are hired and supervised by a tribal
council and given responsibility for protecting residents and visitors to the reservation. As expected, their
patches range widely in design and symbols, and the museum always welcomes new donations.
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.

Historical Events during the Month of August
By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle
The month of August has quite a few events with anniversaries. August 4 marks the birthday of the United States
Coast Guard as well as George Durant’s 1661 purchase of property in Perquimans County from Cisketando,
a Yeopim Indian chief. On August 4, 1790 Plymouth was established as a port of delivery through the United
States Congress. Barrels of tar, corn and rice, and hogsheads of tobacco were carried through this port bound for
the West Indies.
On August 7, 1888 the Trustees of Corner Stone Baptist Church purchased land on South Martin Street in
Elizabeth City. Colonel Edward Moseley purchased a lot on the “Town of Queen Anne’s Creek” on August 12,
1714. This town later became known as Edenton. A few days later, but a few years before, Virginia Dare is born
on Roanoke Island on August 18, 1587.
Annie S. Barkwell married James C. Abbott on August 26, 1932, in Elizabeth City. After the marriage, James
operated R. C. Abbott Company, the local John Deere farm equipment dealer. Visit the Museum’s newest
exhibit I DO! Weddings in the Albemarle, 1831-2015, to view the Juliet cap and ring bearer’s pillow used at
their wedding.
Aftershocks from the 7.3 magnitude earthquake that hit Charleston, South Carolina were reported in
Perquimans, Northampton, Dare, and Hyde Counties on August 31, 1886. Reports also stated that the Cape
Hatteras Lighthouse was swaying due to the aftershocks and buildings in the regions suffered from cracked
plaster walls and chimneys. The Northampton County Courthouse in Jackson reported damage to the exterior
walls. Total damage was approximately $5.5 million, roughly $112 in today’s standards. Cuba, Chicago, and
Boston were also reported to feel the aftershocks.

Northeast North Carolina Family History - The Internet...
By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com
Well let’s say you didn’t make it to any graduations or weddings to pry information from relatives and the only family get together ended when your
cousin started a food fight and no one is speaking to each for at least the remainder of the summer. It’s time to turn to that wonderful world of peaceful
online genealogy. For those of you new to researching your family history, back in the old days we would spend hours cranking rolls of microfilm with
sketchy handwriting hoping we didn’t miss the names of the family we were searching for. Or waiting for snail mail to arrive only to be disappointed that a
hoped for document did not contain the information we sought. Today’s solution is an ever expanding number of websites that promise and often actually
deliver such information instantaneously. My, times have changed!
I will concentrate on the biggy, for profit one, in this column. You’ve probably seen the ads at some point for Ancestry.com with the little green leaves
trying to connect to a twig on your tree. Before I go any further I want to clarify a misunderstanding some have had and refused to believe me about this
site. It is NOT owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) but was started by some members of that church and is privately
owned and is for profit. Is it worth your money? Undoubtedly at some point it will be because of the resources that grow daily. Many public libraries,
including the East Albemarle Regional Library System provide it for free WITHIN the library. This site also allows you to build your online pedigree chart
but I warn you that your information becomes part of Ancestry’s website. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to consider.
Before you get too frustrated, here’s an assignment I would give my class about records on Ancestry.com. Go to the homepage and click on the third link
from the left (Search) which brings up seven options. Go to the last (Card Catalog) and after choosing that, type North Carolina in the Title box. You’ll see
that there are 196 records listed. Choose the third one down “North Carolina, Marriage Index, 1741-2004” and scroll down until you see a list of counties.
Of interest to local readers, Perquimans marriage records available are patchy and end in 1850; Camden has gaps and ends in 1883 while Currituck and
Pasquotank are well represented; Dare is totally absent. If you have tried searching for records from those areas and wondered why you can’t find
someone’s record that should be there - it could be because it isn’t! Wherever possible, search “About” the record you are interested in to see IF it really
does contain what you are searching for. Many titles do not give you more info but it pays to check.
Ancestry recently added millions of Virginia vital records which is a huge blessing and worth the US subscription for that addition alone! You can add
the documents you find to your online pedigree which makes the documentation I wrote about last month a snap. Next time I will talk about my favorite
FREE website which IS provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but you can check it out before then at FamilySearch.org and start
your online pedigree there, also with documenting capability, all free. Happy searching!!
Nicole Howren Photography
I first took up a small toy camera at the age 2. And from there my passion for photography only
grew. At a young age I had a love for animals and nature, and my photography showed that.
When I was around 8 years old ,I placed in my age group in the North Carolina Wildlife
Magazine photo contest. It became my goal to only improve. By age 11, I won first place in my
age group for that contest and was recognized in the adult category with another of my
compositions. It is interesting to see my progression throughout the years in both my
photography subjects and compositions, as well as the photos of me growing up with a camera in
my hands.
I never expected to progress towards portrait photography. My talents are now focused on street
and organic portrait photography where I strive to capture people naturally and in elements of
what they love. There is something special to me about people from different places. Hatteras for
me is one of my favorite environments to shoot. This is because the vibe that Hatteras gives off.
It’s hard to explain, but if you do live or stop in Hatteras and just talk to the people you will see
what I’m saying. I grew up a lot in Hatteras and even took my first steps as a baby there.
Editor’s Note: Nicole was the winner of our photo
contest this month. When we first saw the picture of
the surfer we just said “that’s it”. Great photos jump
off the page and just grab you, and are timeless. Look
to hear more about Nicole in the future as her work is
outstanding. Check out her website at the bottom of
this page and you will see what we mean.
This year, I was the only photographer to place in two different categories in the national Jostens Photo by Nicole Howren Photography
photo contest. In addition, I won first place in he North Carolina Scholastic contest for art
photography. Now, I have been named an editor of my high schools art and literature magazine, nicolehowrenphotography.com/
The Repeater. In my eyes, the biggest accomplishment for me is running my own photography
business at age 16.

It is often said that history is written by the victors. But sometimes, the losers get a piece of it too. Once a society
decides to rewrite such “minority report” chapters of history based on modern cultural values considered more
morally acceptable, a difficult struggle ensues. Many opine the demise of the last vestiges of a romanticized lost time,
the disappearance of which is seen as a casualty of a teleological, politically correct rewriting of history. “Legislating
monuments doesn’t rectify injustices of the past,” according to the conservative view, “it just fumbles around with the
symbols of history, reminding us why we devise them in the first place.” But times change and old wounds are often
forced open. “Okay, yes, it’s a bit unfair to criticize our parents’ generation,” one man in favor of removing offensive
monuments said, “it’s also true that most people even today don’t complain about the monuments because they’re used
to living with them. Our parents’ generation still has some fear of confrontation… [but] years after the civil war we
cannot allow these monuments that perpetuate discrimination.”
You may be surprised to hear these are not quotes from this side of the Atlantic. They are from a 2008 New York
Times article about Spain’s decision to remove many symbols of Francisco Franco’s fascist regime. For a long time,
Spaniards embraced an impressive degree of doublethink when confronting their civil war and its aftermath, neither
denouncing Nationalist tyranny nor recognizing Republican atrocities. Too many families with grandparents on both
sides of the conflict would face too much pain. But today, 40 years since Franco’s death, almost two generations of
Spaniards have grown up without ever living under fascism thanks to Juan Carlos Bourbon’s careful maneuvering in
restoring democracy. Spain, like the United States, may have finally reached an age in which it can objectively
rediscover its civil war history without the insecurity of partisan divides.
Several years ago I was in a class with noted antebellum historian Melvin Ely. He suggested that perhaps no other
nation on earth romanticized the soldiers on a losing side in one of its civil wars the way we do. However, a well-traveled
classmate of mine quickly objected, claiming that in Spain many feel a high degree of melodramatic passion for
the Republicans while overlooking their overall mission. Perhaps because they lost to a pro-industrial, heavy-handed
regime which discounted regional identities, the Republicans simply became the pivotal alternative in popular
memory, often portrayed as a relic of a simpler, rustic agrarian utopia of former times. (Sound familiar?) Expat
correspondents, most famously George Orwell and Ernest Hemingway, especially promoted these stereotypes during
the war. But both sides committed atrocities, both relied heavily on foreign aide, and both adhered to beliefs most of us
would find objectionable today. Pre-war Spain was not as backward as commonly believed, and the supposed
Republican patriot fighting for his home was usually fighting for an extreme Marxist cause in reality. The Spanish
situation is complicated by the fact that both sides really lost in the long run with the Bourbon restoration, but besides
this there are strong parallels to American Civil War historical memory and our current discussion over monuments
and misappropriated symbols. We should take a page from Iberia and not be afraid to dissect an ugly past, while
recognizing it is the past and not being afraid to confront directly those who would use it to fuel a modern
agenda of conflict.

Historic Chesapeake Buyboats
to Cruise into Elizabeth City, N.C. Aug. 5-7
Graceful wooden vessels part of Virginia,
North Carolina boating history
For the past decade, members of the Chesapeake Bay
Buyboat Association have taken its fleet of historic fishing
boats to the water in an annual reunion tour, with stops at
selected ports of call that connect to the Chesapeake Bay.
Elizabeth City, N.C. will be a featured stop on this year’s
11th annual tour, Aug. 5-7, offering the public a rare chance
to view 10 of the historic boats and learn about their origin.
The graceful wooden vessels, also known as deck or oyster boats, were prevalent in the Chesapeake Bay and
North Carolina sounds in the early-to-mid 20th century. Providing a time-saving service between the oyster
fisherman and the processing houses, buyboat owners cruised to where the fisherman worked on the water, loaded
their boats with the freshly-caught bivalves and headed directly to the shucking houses to drop off that day’s catch.
At the time, there were no highways or small bridges connecting the Chesapeake Bay tributaries, so the buyboats
offered a speedy alternative to trucking the seafood to market. When oyster season was over, the owners used the
boats to cart fresh produce, lumber, grain and even livestock to market. They were even outfitted with pumps
during World War II, serving as fire boats for the Norfolk area.
“In their hey-day, these boats were the tractor trailer for the region,” said Theodore Parish, owner of the Nellie
Crockett which dates to 1925 and will be part of the tour. “When the combustion engine became reliable, boat
owners cut off the masts and could get to market no matter how the winds were blowing.”
Beginning in the 1960s, as the seafood harvest declined and highways became the mode of travel, the large
graceful buy boats faded from local waters. Today, there are approximately 30 buy boats in existence, many of
which are owned and have been restored by members of the Chesapeake Bay Buyboat Association.
Re-creating the 1900-1960 trade route, this year’s reunion tour will begin in Poquoson, Va., and make its way
to Elizabeth City via the historic Dismal Swamp Canal, with stops planned afterwards in Manteo, Coinjock and
Chesapeake. In Elizabeth City, the boats will be docked along the downtown waterfront at Mariners’ Wharf, Aug.
5-7, and open to the public to view on Thursday, Aug. 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For info on the Elizabeth City stop,

The Forgotten American-The Civil War, some call it Treason, some call it a poor man’s fight. By Terrance Mann
It is tempting to look at the civil war through the eyes of 2015. But what was life like in 1850? Imagine yourself
living in the 3 miles per hour world, where you lived and died within a 15 to 20-mile radius of where you were
born. Conventional 19th-century wisdom held that a man on horseback could cover about 20 miles a day without
harming his mount. Such was a typical life before the automobile, as noted by Henry Ford. The world such as
this one had limited information sources. Newspapers, if you could read, and local institutions such as churches
certainly controlled much of your perspective. The wise old man of the village could offer some advice if passing
something along to you could be justified by his social class (the planter class). West Point trained local Militia
Officers. The officers might release a nugget or two of information during weekend muster, again, if it was in their
self-interest. Such was the world of the Southern States. Where filtered information was the norm. It remained this
way from the end of the American Revolution until the Spanish-American War. Even longer in more insular
communities such as Northeastern North Carolina. In simpler terms, you were a member of a captive audience in
the Old South as far as new ideas and information were concerned.
Socially, if you were a yeoman farmer, your farm typically had no slaves just family, a few laborers and a lot of
hard work from sun up to sunset. Such people had little time to reflect on the larger issues of the day as life was
hard scrabbling in the swamps of Northeastern North Carolina. Traveling to town was a big event each month.
Going to Church 3 times a week and making muster with the local Militia were all major social and cultural events
in the South. These institutions fed a person a 72-year inter-generational diet of God, Country, and State’s rights.
The founding of the nation was still fresh on everyone’s mind. People understood that the nation was founded on
succession from England, and the Declaration of Independence was the document that outlined their separation
from England. The institutions taught Citizens that the new federal government was the glue that held the states
together, and that state succession was the ultimate check to keep the federal government from tyranny.
After an incubation period of 72 years or longer, North Carolina was confronted with succession and “state’s
rights”. North Carolina was reluctant to leave the Union and at best, lukewarm to the idea of joining the
Confederacy. Many of its citizens were yeoman farmers and middle-class craftsmen all of whom paid a living wage
to laborers living on their property. Laborers were free to come and go as they pleased and free to leave and obtain
a higher wage if there was one available. Do not dismiss the Quaker influence in North Carolina, specifically in
Northeastern North Carolina. We should be proud that this area was a stronghold for the Underground Railroad,
which couldn’t have happened without cooperation from a large number of its people. Both of these
‘consciousness’ played a role in shaping our decision in 1861. South Carolina was first to secede, and then Virginia.
North Carolina was in the middle. However, once Governor Ellis and our legislature decided to leave the Union,
the rank and file men of the local Militias mustered for service without question as they had been “classically
conditioned” to do. Joining was the norm, unless you thought you could hide from the home guard. Many of their
ancestors had mistakenly fought on the bogs of Culloden for the “pretender” to the Scottish throne, Bonnie Prince
Charles. Loyalty and fidelity are just in the “DNA” of some cultures.
We must conclude these yeoman farmers and craftsmen completely inculcated with the idea of States Rights
based on even the slightest glance at this period of history. Yes, State’s Rights. The political philosophy, some dare
call treason, from the manufactured-synthetic-pop-culture morality of today. If this theory is treason, why were
West Point Cadets taught State’s Rights in Constitutional History prior to 1861? West Point, a federally owned
educational institution, was funded by the United States Government. Adding further evidence the United States

No, I only want to reference the rank and file soldier whose wives, children and grandchildren
wanted to honor the service and memory of these men with a simple monument on the public
square. How important was it for the post- war Southern Culture to recognize the rank and file
soldiers of the Confederate Army? Many families could only give 15 cents per year or less to their
hometown monument committee. These nominal amounts of money represented an entire year’s
worth of disposable income in most cases because the entire south was living under the military
occupation and economic despotism of reconstruction. The Elizabeth City monument was erected
in 1911, the memories still fresh of the war and the occupation in many a person’s mind.
This article has attempted to create a synopsis of the many conversations I overheard as a child
of these Confederate Veteran’s children and grand-children. I wanted their voices to heard and in
some small way enter the current social conversation modern America is having over the
Confederacy. It’s hard for a modern reader to understand North Carolina’s reluctance. And how it
could have given so many soldiers and lost 40,275 lives to a cause of which most wouldn’t benefit
from its outcome either way.
Most Confederate Veterans who were lucky enough to survive and rebuild had one lesson to pass
on to their children and families: “It was a rich man’s war, and poor man’s fight.” These
monuments all over the South represent the memories and honor of that “Poor Man’s fight”.
No time for social media....
