Your car battery is the only power source used for getting

Claude Frédéric Bastiat (French: 29 June 

1801 – 24 December 1850) was a French 

classical liberal theorist, political economist, 

and member of the French assembly. He was 

notable for developing the important economic 

concept of opportunity cost, and for 

penning the influential Parable of the Broken 

Window. His ideas have gone on to provide a 

foundational basis for libertarian and the Austrian 

schools of thought. Bastiat was the author 

of many works on economics and political 

economy, generally characterized by their 

clear organization, forceful argumentation, 

and acerbic wit. Economist Murray Rothbard 

wrote that “Bastiat was indeed a lucid and superb 

writer, whose brilliant and witty essays 

and fables to this day are remarkable and devastating 

demolitions of protectionism and of 

all forms of government subsidy and control. 

He was a truly scintillating advocate of an 

unrestricted free market”. Among his better 

known works is Economic Sophisms,which 

contains many strongly worded attacks on 

statist policies. Bastiat wrote the work while 

living in England to advise the shapers of the 

French Republic on pitfalls to avoid.

Sea Fever 

BY JOHN MASEFIELD 

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, 

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; 

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, 

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking, 

John Masefield 

1878–1967 

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide 

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; 

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, 

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. 

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, 

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; 

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, 

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. 

British poet 

John Edward Masefield 

was born in Herefordshire. He studied at King’s School in Warwick before 

training as a merchant seaman. In 1895, he deserted his ship in New York 

City and worked there in a carpet factory before returning to London to 

write poems describing his experience at sea. Masefield was appointed 

British poet laureate in 1930.

Antioxidants 

To understand antioxidants we have to understand free radicals. The definition of a free 

radical is that it’s an unpaired electron that’s extremely reactive and is capable of causing 

chain reactions that destabilizes other molecules, causing more free radicals. Free radicals 

cause oxidation, oxidation causes apples and bananas to turn brown, and metals to rust. Free 

radicals are thought to cause DNA mutations which can cause cancer, among other maladies. 

Our body uses some oxidants to fight chronic infections, and bacteria, and of course pollution, 

among other things. Sound familiar? It’s part of our complex immune system. 

Deprive at your peril. 

The body produces some antioxidants (endogenous), more or less to regulate the oxidation 

process. However, because the toxins in our environment are not a constant, you must adjust 

your antioxidant nutrients to maintain your immune system balance. 

My antioxidant supplements of choice are: Vitamin C, a water soluble essential nutrient, 

and the most common, and is particularly potent in combating cigarette smoke and pollution. I 

increase my normal dose when I feel symptoms of a cold, or in a room with someone 

showing symptoms. 

Vitamin E is the most abundant fat soluble antioxidant, and is one of the most efficient 

antioxidants available. Vitamin E is the body’s primary defender against oxidation, specifically 

LDL oxidation and artery clogging plague formation. 

. 

Reminder !!! I will be presenting “Health and Nutrition Strategies” at the Museum of 

the Albemarle February 10th at 10am. Feel free to bring your questions or criticisms.

Orthodox Christianity 

ORTHODOXY AND THE PHENOMENON OF TIME 

It is from the unbearable grief of this vision of the unbridgeable chasm between what is and 

what has been lost, that we begin to know noetically, the lament of Adam. This is the beginning 

of understanding what it is to live as a fallen being in a fallen universe. This is to 

come face to face with the one and only catastrophe; of which all of the universe’s uncountable 

horrors are only facets. 

What, then, about time? To reflect upon the meaning and nature of time is to open the door 

onto God’s response to the catastrophe of the Fall. It is to begin a consideration of the 

oeconomia of salvation. 

Time, for the Orthodox, is bidirectional. Its center point is the moment of the Resurrection; 

and all that comes before is preparation for that moment, and can only be comprehended in 

the light of the Resurrection; and all that follows the Resurrection is the working-out of its 

consequences. And all the thoughts, movements, actions, and phenomena of all the beings 

and all the creation are players in this vast, foreknown (though not foreordained) economy 

of salvation. 

In the beginning of this essay, I spoke of Christmas as one of the bookends on an Orthodox 

reflection on time. So what of Christmas? What is its significance for the Orthodox? For 

us, theologically, it is principally about the Incarnation: the inconceivably compassionate 

entry of the ontologically Existing One into His own fallen creation—into its current of 

time and history, into its material and psychic substance—for the purpose of sanctifying it 

and restoring it to its primordial perfection. 

As the year approached its end, we Orthodox were observing the movement of time. We 

were waiting and preparing. While Western Christendom (and the post-Christian West), 

from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, spent itself on levity and celebration, we observed 

Advent, a season of fasting and introspection. Now, at New Year’s Day, in the heart of 

our Christmas Season, let us consider the function of time, its sanctity, the opportunity it 

provides us to avail ourselves of the salvific struggle. Let us not lose this chance.

Question of the Month 

Do minimum wage hikes help or hurt? 

“DO’S AND DON’TS” OF CARRYING A CONCEALED HANDGUN 

1. Your permit to carry a concealed handgun must be carried along with valid identification 

whenever the handgun is being carried concealed. 

2. When approached or addressed by any officer, you must disclose the fact that you have a 

valid concealed handgun permit and inform the officer that you are in possession of a 

concealed handgun. You should not attempt to draw or display either your weapon or your 

permit for the officer unless and until he/she directs you to do so. Your hands are to be kept 

in plain view and you are not to make any sudden movements. 

3. At the request of any law enforcement officer, you must display both the permit and valid 

identification. 

4. You may not, with or without a permit, carry a concealed weapon while consuming alcohol 

or while alcohol or any substance, controlled or otherwise, is in your blood unless the 

substance was obtained legally and taken in therapeutically appropriate amounts. 

5. You must notify the sheriff who issued your permit of any address change within thirty 

(30)days of the change of address.

Last Month’s Question: 

What is the biggest problem our 

country faces today? 

The biggest problem our country 

faces is denial. We continue to 

ignore economic, societal, and 

moral problems and hope they go 

away. The problems will continue 

to fester until the American public 

faces them and takes action. We 

are being lulled to sleep by our 

politicians who pass laws without 

reading them, and a president who 

decides policy with the stroke of a 

pen and his phone. Ask any American 

about these things and they 

will just shrug their shoulders. 

Ask them about a deflated football 

and they can tell you everything 

about the subject.

Mold. Unwanted Guest. What… Again? Mold… 

Phone # :

Have you ever entertained a guest that is not welcome? Many of us, particularly in NE NC, do. It is called 

mold. It can be a stubborn stain that keeps coming back even though we clean with bleach and water. We live in 

a coastal area that has low elevation and high water content. Mold is just a part of our everyday environment. 

How do I know I have mold? If you see stains, particularly around moist areas and areas that have had water 

leaks (roof, pipes, bathrooms, kitchen, etc.), then there is an opportunity for mold growth. Enclosed areas are also 

vulnerable (vacant rental homes, home sales, foreclosures, etc.) Even though we remove the stain with a bleach 

solution, that is not enough. In fact, that can just cover the problem temporarily and, in time, even make it worse. 

In addition to visible stains, some molds can cause invisible health issues. This is particularly true in children, 

older adults and people with compromised immune systems (I.e. asthma). While symptoms can appear to be a 

cold or the flu, it could be something else. If you do not seem to recover from these symptoms, you might want to 

research how ongoing mold exposure can affect your health and environment. 

So, what do I do? First, check for potential sources of water intrusion. Any leaks should be fixed. 90% of 

mold issues can begin in the crawl space. If there is not a vapor barrier, then one should be installed. Make sure 

water is directed away from the building. Gutters should be in place and functional. Drain lines are also helpful. 

Vegetation should be trimmed away from the foundation. 

If I think I have mold, what can I do? I suggest contacting a local mold professional for further guidance. 

Mold contractors can diagnose the issues and provide an effective treatment. I will follow this article with a series 

to further address symptoms and remedies. While mold is an unwanted visitor, we can certainly take steps to kick 

him out! I look forward to speaking again next month.

Dear Dr. Crime: The News & Observer ran a story saying that all across America the 

use of the death sentence is down1. Isn’t that backwards if we want to keep murderers from killing 

people? Are we to scared to protect ourselves? 

Mad as Bill O’Riley 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Mad. 

Yes, the story reported was based on good data. The use of the death penalty in murder cases is 

the lowest in 20 years. It also reported that in North Carolina we have 150 prisoners on death 

row and three new ones were added in 2014. There are two primary reasons to sentence a criminal 

to death. One is the policy theory that it will keep other bad people from doing such crimes. 

That is called deterrence. The other is that it is the morally and ethically proper response to an 

atrocious criminal act, recognized as such by our General Assembly when they passed the law 

setting death as a proper response by the people. The news story you mention also reported that 

surveys have shown that support for the use of executions is dropping, and now finds 6 in 10 

Americans favor the death penalty. 

Does it deter other people besides the executed person from committing capital crimes? We 

have lots of research about that. A recent reporti averaged several different ways of measuring 

deterrent effects from use of the death penalty. It found that model-averaged coefficients fail to 

support the link between deterrence and capital punishment. Depending on how analyze it, different 

outcomes are found, but researcher often report substantial problems with the methodology 

of such research. Should we execute Adolph Hitler? Would it prevent another dictator from 

such awful acts? I hope you take your ideas to your elected representative and generate a wide 

debate on this topic. 

Costs associated with death penalty cases should be discussed. A 19952 report of research in 

two states (one of which was NC) found use of the death penalty 

added about $4 million to criminal justice costs. Another study3 

found that North Carolina could save $11million a year by 

abolishing the death penalty. And also, try talking with a family 

member of a murdered child! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Dr. Crime: How many crooks are 

handled by our correctional system ? 

Dissatisfied victim. 

Dear Victim: I want there to be less of you victims, 

so a discussion such as this is important. A report1 

just released about our correctional system in 2013 

estimated that 6,899,000 persons were under the 

supervision of adult correctional systems at yearend 

2013. The number declined by about 41,500 from 

yearend 2012. 

Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for 

a social scientist that holds 

a Ph.D. degree in sociology 

and in criminology. He has 

worked in all major parts of 

the criminal justice system.

Trucks In The 252 - Currituck 

By: Robert Heikens 

Currituck county may be a small county in size compared to others in North Carolina, but it’s huge in so many ways. I have lived here since 1993 and 

have found that this area has some really wonderful people in it. The small town atmosphere might not appeal to everyone, but the people in this community 

care for each other and their neighbors. 

This county is truly a sportmans paradise with hunting and fishing being a part of many locals everyday lives! The commercial fishermen, crabbers, 

oyster harvesters, hunting guides, and all the various markets and businesses work to make this area a great place to live and raise a family! The miles of 

beautiful beaches, the beauty of the ocean and our sounds attracts people to this area from all over the world. The summertime here can be hectic for locals 

because of the traffic situations but it does help our local economy and patrons also so it’s an inconvenience we live with and have adapted to! The new 

proposed bridge could help alleviate some of the traffic backups, maybe it won’t, maybe we need another option! Whatever happens, the local people adapt 

and move forward, we will always move forward! 

Currituck people are always willing to help others in need and the outpouring of help to the Wounded Warrior program and their duck hunting trips over 

the last several years here in Currituck was again a success! The community even put together an awesome escort out of town to the state line with full 

Fire Department, EMT, Police, local citizens and motorcycle riders following these men with crowds of people waving banners and flags by the side of 

the road! It was an amazing day! The support of one of our own veteran on the beach, the love the people showed this man was remarkable, but the man is 

quite remarkable himself and was very humbled by the generous support from the local people! Mobility May OBX brings veterans down for a weekend of 

jetpaking, pier fishing, charter boat fishing, provide housing and food from great businesses that help support our love for our disabled veterans, and hope 

this year more can be added! 

Currituck has so much to offer, motorsports are a big part of this community also, mud racing parks,motocross and Atv tracks, Drag race tracks, go cart 

tracks, late model and stock car tracks, and truck and tractor pulling tracks! Almost every kind of motorsports is covered and we are the home to the World 

famous Gravedigger Racing Shop and Dennis Anderson and his wonderful family that do alot for our community and the kids as well as numerous charities 

they are involved with! If you can’t find something fun and wonderful to do in our “SPORTSMANS PARADISE”, you just haven’t looked outside or 

drove around, it’s an amazing place to live!

I’m On My Way 

by RJ Ben-Dov 7/22/14 

I’m on my way 

For I was saved today 

Jesus blessed me 

And forgave my sin 


Freed by the Lord today 

Jesus met me at the river 

Washed away my sin 

His sanctified light 

Chased away the dark 

Shadow scurried far away 

Blinded by the light of day 

Thunder and lightening 

The night clear as day 

The power of the Lord 

Was on full display 

 

 

 

 


For today I was saved 

Jesus is waiting for me 

Standing at the pearly gates 

 

 

 

Arms held wide 

There He stands waiting 

Surrounded by the light 

Jesus and the Angels 

My mom and my dad 

All my loved ones already departed 

Smiling ear to ear 

As they welcome me home 


For I was saved today 


To my Lord and my Redeemer 

I embrace Him for all I’m worth 

For today I am saved.

Frisco Native American Museum - Museum offers “Arm chair tours” 

In a typical year, the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center will serve visitors from all 50 states and 

several dozen foreign countries. In recent years, staff members have been finding ways to open the museum’s collections to individuals 

who may not be able to actually tour the building. 

Recently, the museum began a partnership with the Stanley M. Isaacs Neighborhood Center to serve as one of its destinations 

for their Arm Chair Tour Program. Located on the Upper East Side in New York City, the Tour is part of their elders at home 

program. Interested individuals receive pictures of the museum, and at a designated time, conference calls are set up. The “tour 

guide” explains the photographs and leads a discussion. The tour can be a general overview of the museum or focus on a specific 

gallery or program. 

“We’ve had a lot of fun with the Arm Chair Tour program, “ said museum director, Carl Bornfriend. “Discussions are always 

lively, and we wind up feeling we’ve made a whole host of new friends.” 

The museum also offers a weekly opportunity for individuals to learn more about exhibits and programs through its popular 

Museum Monday postings on facebook. Generally an exhibit or artifact is shown with information. For example the piece of 

pottery pictured here was featured a couple of weeks ago. The post explained that black, white, and orange designs are common 

among a number of the pueblo tribes. This pot is actually a canteen made by the Acoma. It pictures a pair of water birds and is 

part of an exhibit on pottery in the museum. 

The museum is exploring ways to expand 

the Armchair Tour program and will be 

looking for new partners in 2015. 

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.

Ahoskie Chamber of Commerce 

AHOSKIE: The Gallery Theatre is proud to announce the regional debut of Monty Pytho’s Spamalot! 

Monty Python’s Spamalot, by Erick Idle and John DuPrez and won the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, is adapted from the 1975 film “Monty Python 

and the Holy Grail.” Like the film, the musical is an outrageous and irreverent parody of the legend of King Arthur and his knights – and, in addition, it 

hilariously lampoons some of the best-known moments in musical theater. Memorable songs from the show include “The Knights Who Say Ni” and the 

irrepressible “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” 

Spamalot turns the story of King Arthur’s quest for the Holy Grail on its head and pulls its pants down. Leading the quest is King Arthur and his slapsticky 

servant, Patsy. Arthur assembles a rag-tag assortment of gallant knights and goofballs including Sir Lancelot, the Homicidally Brave; Sir Robin, the 

Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot; Sir Galahad, the Dashingly Handsome; and Sir Bedevere, the Strangely Flatulent. The jokes are fast-flying, cheeky, 

impertinent, irreverent, disrespectful, and down-right silly. Spamalot is a wildly funny romp that takes a poke at almost everyone and everything, including 

Broadway musicals. 

Spamalot will be performed at The Gallery Theatre February 20, 21, 22, 28 and March 1, 2015 as part of the 49th season. 

This production is supported by the NC Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources. Monty Python’s Spamalot is presented through 

special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials are supplied by Theatrical Rights Worldwide, 570 Seventh Avenue, Suite 2100, New 

York, NY 10018. (866) 378-9758 www.theatricalrights.com

and civil war stories throughout the tour. 

Highlights of the tour will include an exhibit of wedding dresses through the decades at Pembroke Hall, an 1850 antebellum mansion built as a wedding 

present by Dr. Matthew Page to his wife Henrietta Collins, and the first public viewing of North Carolina’s oldest house circa 1718. 

Edenton’s National Historic Landmarks – the 1767 Chowan County Courthouse and the Cupola House (1758), along with several buildings listed on the 

National Register of Historic Places such as the Iredell House (1800 – 1827), St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (1736-1760), the newly restored 1886 Roanoke 

River Lighthouse, along with the Penelope Barker Welcome Center will all be open during the Tour. 

Horse-drawn carriage rides, concerts, lectures, exhibits, food, music and much more will all be part 

of the festivities. 

The Pilgrimage coincides with the Town’s annual free, family friendly street dance 

Boogie on Broad featuring The Embers. 

Plan to come to Edenton – named “One of America’s Prettiest Towns” by Forbes.com - for the 

Pilgrimage of Historic Homes Friday, April 17 and Saturday April 18.

“A Look Back to 1915: 

Prominent African-American Baptist Educators 

from northeastern North Carolina” 

Presented by Glen Bowman, Ph.D. 

Museum of the Albemarle will host Glen Bowman, 

Ph.D. on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at 12:15 p.m. for an additional History for Lunch for 

the month of February. Dr. Bowman will present “A Look Back to 1915: Prominent African- 

American Baptist Educators from northeastern North Carolina.” 

Dr. Bowman’s presentation will address Calvin Scott (C.S.) Brown and Waters Normal 

Institute, which he founded in Winton; Peter Weddick (P.W.) Moore, founding principal of the 

Elizabeth City State Colored Normal School (in 1915 called State Normal School, now Elizabeth 

City State University), and Elizabeth City’s Roanoke Institute, which was founded as a 

private secondary school in 1896 on what is today Roanoke Avenue. This presentation will be 

supported by photos and documents that were located at the North Carolina State Archives in 

Raleigh, the Jackson Davis Papers at the University of Virginia, and the Rare Book Collection at 

the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill. Almost certainly this is the first time in decades, 

at least, that these pictures have been presented in Elizabeth City. 

Dr. Bowman earned the Ph.D. in History at the University of Minnesota. Originally from 

suburban Philadelphia, he has been at Elizabeth City State University since 1999.

Custom Rods 

by Jake Worthington 

When I was about seven years old my Granddaddy Jimmy gave me a custom built rod for a Christmas present. 

Even though I had only been fishing seriously since the ripe old age of 3, I knew that having the best equipment 

was the backbone of successful fishing. Think of your fishing rod as a skeleton in the human body. It is the 

backbone of the body and without it you can’t stand, walk or run. A good fishing rod is the backbone of your 

fishing arsenal. 

That first custom built rod was made by Carl Overman of Elizabeth City. Mr. Overman made fishing 

rods until his death in 2006. I was extremely lucky to get one as a gift, and it was one of the last rods he made. 

The rod had custom cork grip, a beautiful colored wrap design, and chrome plated wire frame guides. The rod 

was a seven foot rod and was designed for casting and retrieving like you would use on a pier casting Gotcha 

Plugs. Not many custom rod makers use the old shiny silver wire rod guides anymore. I like the way they look 

and it gives my rod character. I have logged many hours fishing with my first custom rod, and it wet my appetite for more of them. 

My next custom rod was a gift the following year from my neighbor Pete Kornegay. Mr. Pete, as I call him, made me my very own seven foot 

trout rod. My second custom rod was personalized just for me. The rod was a genuine cork gripped, medium action blank with Fuji guides. The best part 

was the design because it was red and white with the NC State Wolfpack Mascot on it. I have used it for Rockfishing in the Pasquotank River, for catching 

Bluefish from the Avalon Fishing Pier, and I have even caught Mahi offshore with it. The rod is still in use today and it, like my first custom rod, is 

near and dear to my heart. 

My next three custom rods were Red Drum Tackle custom Hatteras Style Heavers. They are twelve foot rods with custom colored wraps, Fuji 

guides and reel seats, and cork tape grips. I have caught quite a few Red Drum and sharks from the surf and pier with them over the years. 

The next custom rod on my wish list is a Ryan White Custom Jigging Rod with a Century Blank that will withstand the rigors of Amberjack and 

Tuna jigging. I would like my rod to have the Seattle Seahawks blue and green colors with a logo of the Seahawk on the rod base. The next time you have 

a gift to buy for the fisherman in your life, try buying a custom rod for a special gift that will last a lifetime. Ask around for a local rod builder in your 

area and give a great gift.

The Economics of Wealth by C.L. Cooke 

Exploitation of labor to accumulate wealth and build an industrial society is based in historical fact. Controlling the money supply, and continued systematic 

cheap labor became the backbone for the rise of American industrialism. In the late 1800’s and into the 20th century, the rise of the “Robber Barons” 

thrust the United States into ascendancy as a world super power. Initially financed by the Rothschild’s, these giant of industry and wealth are engrained in 

the history of American financial lore. Names like Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and E.H. Herriman were at the helm to control oil, banking, and the railroads. 

The labor force to bear the physical burden of industrial capitalism were not just Americans, but Chinese, Mexican and Irish. We can go back to the building 

of the pyramids in Egypt, the Inca and Aztec Empires of Central and South America, the plantations of the South, and historically document the use of 

slave labor to build 

empires, and grand cities, and monuments to immortalize the great leaders of their time. Fast forward to an emerging America and we manifest the past 

with low wages, exploitation of child labor, deplorable and dangerous conditions in the coal mines, and continued accumulation of wealth at the expense of 

the workers. Progress toward safety and health has been a beacon of hope for the American worker. But, in my lifetime, wages has never kept pace with 

inflation. Anyone remember “war is good for business.” WWI was the single most important event to stimulate the industrialization of America and propel 

investment and banking onto our shores. I wish to leave you with some food for thought… might the quality of life for all GOD’s children be improved 

with a Christian compassion for our fellow beings…or, shall we continue to entrust our future with the giants of business and politics who sell to the highest 

bidder as the end game to wealth and 

power. Profit is just, but to what extent of the human condition. I am hungry…hungry for food, hungry for spirituality, and starving for a relationship 

with my fellow humans based not on the color of his skin, but the content of his character.

2. Henry Ford’s visits to Nazi Germany.

New Lower 

Propane Prices! 

For Valentine’s Day, I have the perfect dessert for your Valentine – a decadent, truffle-filled Chocolate 

Lava Cake in a pool of silky rich Crème Anglaise, accented with strawberries and toasted hazelnuts. 

Chocolate Lava Cake 

For the truffles: 

4 oz. Ghirardelli bittersweet chocolate 

2 TB unsalted butter 

¼ cup heavy cream 

4 ounces cream cheese 

¼ cup hazelnut spread (Nutella) 

Melt chocolate and butter in cream in a double boiler. 

Whisk gently to combine. 

Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese and Nutella. 

Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. 

Roll into balls and refrigerate until ready to use. 

For extra truffles on the side, roll the balls in toasted, crushed hazelnuts. 

We fill your Tank 

while you wait! 

For the chocolate cake: 

Heat oven to 400°. 

1 4-ounce package Ghirardelli bittersweet 

chocolate bar 

1 stick unsalted butter 

2 eggs 

2 yolks 

⅓ cup sugar 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

¼ cup cake flour 

1 tsp baking powder 

Butter 6 5-ounce ramekins. 

Mix cake flour and baking powder. 

Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler. 

Whisk to blend. 

With electric mixer, beat eggs and yolks. 

Gradually beat in sugar and vanilla. 

Gently fold melted chocolate mixture and 

flour mixture, alternatively, 3 times, into egg mixture. 

Spoon batter into ramekins. 

Place a cold truffle ball in the center and press down. 

Bake in a 400° oven for about 15 – 17 minutes. 

Let sit about 5 minutes, then take a sharp knife 

around the inside of each ramekin and invert onto 

serving plates with Crème Anglaise. 

The Albemarle Tradewinds merges your business 

into printed and social media. 

For the Crème Anglaise: 

½ cup skim milk 

1 ½ cups heavy cream 

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 

½ cup sugar 

4 large egg yolks, room temperature 

Combine the milk, cream, and split and scraped vanilla bean 

and seeds. 

Cook over low/moderate heat just until small bubbles form 

around the rim, about 5-6 minutes. 

Remove the beans. 

In another bowl beat the egg yolks and gradually beat in 

sugar. Beat until mixture has lightened and thickened. 

Whisk in half of the hot cream mixture, very slowly, in a 

thin stream. 

You do not want scrambled eggs, so go slowly. 

Pour the mixture back into the sauce pan and cook over 

moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until 

mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes. It will coat the spoon. 

For serving: 

Pour a pool of Crème Anglaise onto your serving plates. 

Invert a ramekin onto the sauce, sift powdered sugar, and 

ladle more Crème Anglaise on top. Place sliced strawberries 

around cake and sprinkle toasted hazelnuts over top.

Underground Railway in Northeastern North Carolina by Wanda E. Hunt McLean 

February is the culmination of history focused on people of African descent. February is not enough time for me to tell you what I know. So, I will introduce 

myself through Mary Arnold Parks, one of my great grandmothers who died in the late 1950s. Based on the United States Census and other documents 

she was born ca. 1848, 1853. She was a former slave in Georgia. As incredible as it sounds, as a young child I knew this woman. I have no idea as 

to whether or not she was involved in assisting other slaves to escape, or for a better term the Underground Railroad. What I do know is that being in her 

presence and later understanding that she was once a slave has lead me on a phenomenal journey in North Carolina. Living here has led me to better appreciate 

the history of the Underground Railroad and how people of all races came together to fight this institution. 

In 2003 I became involved with the National Park Service (NPS) Underground Railroad (UGRR) Network to Freedom Program (NTF). From the time 

Congress directed the NPS to create this program North Carolina has more designations than any other state in the NTF Southeast Region totaling fifteen in 

all. Ten of these designations are located in northeast North Carolina. 

Perhaps the most well-known UGRR designation is the Great Dismal Swamp. This swamp is documented as being a safe haven for runaway slaves 

and maroon communities. So safe that the slave owners in Pasquotank, Camden, Currituck, Gates, Perquimans and Chowan counties petitioned the N.C. 

General Assembly “For the Apprehension of Slaves to the Great Dismal Swamp and for Other Purposes,1846”. The first river in the United States to be 

designated as part of the UGRR is the Pasquotank River, and the second district in the country to be designated is Old Halifax Town Historic Site in Halifax, 

North Carolina. Of the four rivers designated as part of the UGRR, three are in North Carolina. And, Henry and Dorothy Copeland, Quakers originally 

from Perquimans and Chowan counties, settled in Rich Square as conductors of the UGRR assisting over 300 runaway slaves. 

The various segments I contribute to this magazine will attempt to provide information about the UGRR in various parts of North Carolina, and how 

slaves, free blacks, and white people in the south assisted freedom seekers in their quest to be free. Most of the stories will center around the UGRR, but 

many will address, for instance, the United States Colored Troops (USCT) in Elizabeth City, 

and a long forgotten Elizabeth City trial referred to as “The Easter Plot of 1802”. And, if time 

and publication space permits, I will tell you more about Mary Arnold Parks and her pure 

African slave witch-doctor uncle, and how they both built a reputation from their medicinal 

cures. With any luck these articles will encourage you to ask questions or share your own 

stories for preservation.
