Critical Path 

by: Richard Buckminster Fuller 

Richard Buckminster 

“Bucky” Fuller July 12, 

1895 – July 1, 1983)was an 

American architect, systems 

theorist, author, designer, 

and inventor. 

Fuller published more than 

30 books, coining or popularizing 

terms such as 

“Spaceship Earth”, ephemeralization, 

and synergetic. He 

also developed numerous inventions, 

mainly architectural 

designs, and popularized 

the widely known geodesic 

dome. Carbon molecules 

known as fullerenes were 

later named by scientists for 

their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres. 

Fuller was the second World President of Mensa from 1974 to 1983. 

Critical Path is a book written by US author and inventor R. Buckminster 

Fuller with the assistance of Kiyoshi Kuromiya. First published 

in 1981, it is alongside Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth 

one of Fuller’s best-known works. Vast in its scope, it describes Fuller’s 

own vision of the development of human civilization, economic 

history, and his highly original economic ideology based, amongst 

other things, on his detailed description of why scarcity of resources 

need no longer be a decisive factor in global politics.

June in Perquimans 

by Colleen Brown 

J 

une is off to a beautiful, if somewhat rainy, start here 

in Perquimans County. Summer is coming and 

is offering all sorts of opportunities and incentives for 

celebration. Students are graduating, sweethearts are 

planning weddings, and that grill is beginning to beckon 

you out onto the deck! Not to mention summer children 

having birthdays, father’s day coming up quickly, and 

the onslaught of family reunions, church picnics, civic 

organizations planning festivities that comes with the 

summer months. So, you probably have one or more (or 

several!) gatherings that you are planning over the next 

few months. Let me offer a suggestion. 

Perquimans County has a number of public parks and 

outdoor spaces you can reserve for your celebrations. 

Have you ever driven past the Missing Mill Park in 

Hertford when there’s a birthday party under the picnic 

shelter? Did you know that you can reserve the park for 

a party simply by calling the Town of Hertford? It’s as 

easy as checking out a library book, maybe easier. The 

reservation form can be found online, but a quick phone 

call will get it emailed to you as well. The park has a 

covered picnic shelter with rest rooms, picnic tables with 

freestanding grills, a playground for children, a boardwalk 

through the trees down on the river, a fishing shelter and 

additional dock. 

The lovely little Rotary Park in Hertford on White Street 

is also available for reservation, as is the Municipal Park 

right beside the Town Dock. The Rotary Park has a tiny 

green space, but a long boardwalk out onto the river, a 

good sized fi shing shelter, and a dock with a step-down 

Breathe Easier & Protect Your Family by Conquering Pesky Mold Problems 

As I’ve met with parents, city council members, residents, 

and attorneys throughout the state, most are concerned 

about the health risks of mold and understand the need to 

take control and address it. 

Popular opinion might tell you to get rid of your affected 

property, pack up and leave town, or panic unnecessarily. 

But the good news is leveraging common sense chemistry 

and 21st century remediation methods can restore a building 

to normal use and acceptable air quality while avoiding high 

costs. 

It may surprise you how bleach is not effective in eliminating 

mold like you might think. According to the EPA, it masks and 

may even invigorate growth. 

landing perfect for launching canoes and kayaks. The 

Hertford Municipal Park is a shady green space right 

behind the Municipal building, beside the boat ramp. It 

fl ows down to the river where a boardwalk with a picnic 

space gives onto the town dock. A perfect place for a 

party of friends to sit in the shade, enjoying the breeze off 

the river and each other’s company. 

Across the river in Winfall, the Winfall Landing Park is 

a wonderful place for a party! It has a lovely river front 

board walk, a covered picnic shelter, public restrooms, 

playground area for children and huge open green space 

perfect for impromptu athletics. The river scenery from 

the park is just breathtaking and the breeze off the water 

makes the park a cool place even on most hot days. 

There’s also a step-down kayak landing so you can have 

easy access to the river. 

For those more interested in indoor spaces, the Winfall 

Town Hall meeting room can be reserved for private parties. 

It’s large enough for good sized gatherings and has 

tables and chairs available. 

And, that’s really just the beginning. The County Rec 

Center is surrounded by sports fi elds and playgrounds. 

There are county owned camping platforms on the river. 

There are community centers, boat launches and sports 

fi elds all across the county that can offer celebration 

locations either for the reserving, or for a small fee. 

Explore Perquimans County and explore opportunities to 

celebrate.

Health and Nutrition Strategies For 

Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else 

Warren Green is a 30 year member of the Institute of Food 

Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point) 

Instructor with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition Science. 

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

Warren Green can be reached 

at warreng9241@hotmail.com 

Last month I mentioned the phrase 

“If you don’t grow it, you don’t 

know it” . Let’s drill down on that 

concept. Our region has some of 

the highest health disparities in the 

country. The disparities are cancer, 

diabetes, cardiac and stroke. All 

diet related. The history of the area 

informs that the state of North Carolina 

itself, was created in 1789, for its 

fertile soil and long growing season. 

So, how does that reconcile? The air 

is clean, the water is generally clean 

according to the annual water report. 

So, lets look at the soil part of our 

environment. 

I’ve been advocating for an accredited 

organic soil testing lab operating 

out of Elizabeth City State University, 

our local Non-Land-Grant College 

of Agriculture (NLGCA). An organic 

soil testing facility should be an 

important economic and epidemiological 

asset to the region. I strongly 

appreciate the out pouring of community 

support for our pursuit of cleaner 

more wholesome food. 

Economically, annual fee schedules 

for organic testing are high. Some as 

high as $5,000 annually just for testing. 

The USDA uses third party testing 

enterprises who set there own 

fees which the USDA subsidizes. A 

testing enterprise based out of Clemson 

University is the nearest tester 

in the region, but no longer services 

North Carolina. The College of the 

Albemarle (COA) is expanding it’s 

curriculum to include Specialty crops, 

and organic farming. Considering 

our superior transportation logistics, 

including a major seaport, rail, and 

access to 60,000,000+ customers 

within a days drive. Using modern 

farming methods such as spin farming 

(small acreage), high tunnels and 

green houses, the Albemarle can be 

a major player in the organic produce 

sector. 

In reading ECSU Chancellor Thomas 

Conway’s exit interview, I’m very 

pleased to learn of the possible collaborative 

efforts of our three higher 

education institutions (Elizabeth City 

State University, College of the Albemarle, 

and the Mid-Atlantic Christian 

University). I pray that agriculture 

enterprises and clean food will be 

part of their agenda. Feeding the 

poor is part of being a christian, and 

our region is one of the poorest in 

the state. Hopefully, these initiatives 

will result in more economical and 

healthier food choices, as we join the 

global food chain as the “ Organic 

Capital of the World”. 

Finally, my clergy friends and family, 

have convinced me that my advocacy 

is a calling and I will accept that. I 

will be dedicating the rest of my life to 

advancing wholesome clean food to 

all of our citizenry particularly those 

on the lower economic scale. Join 

the clean food movement.

Marvel’s Ultimate Villains

Dr. J. Stanley McQuade was 

famous for saying, “A little bit of 

law is a dangerous thing”. Nowhere 

is this more true than in the context 

of carrying fi rearms across state 

lines. This is particularly applicable 

to those of use who live near the 

state line, and travel frequently to 

Virginia to work or shop. Many times, 

people assume that the laws of the 

other state are the same as the laws 

of their home state, and we all know 

what “assume” makes out of u and 

me. Failing to know and comply with 

the foreign state’s laws can result in 

civil liability, or even serious criminal 

charges. 

Concealed carry permit holders are 

already familiar with the concept of 

“reciprocity”, whereby one state recognizes 

a permit issued by another 

state. The fi rst thing a permit holder 

should do when considering travelling 

to another state is to verify that 

reciprocity exists between the states. 

However, that is just the beginning of 

the process. While in the other state, 

you must also comply with all of their 

particular fi rearms laws, which may 

or may not make sense to you. As 

an example, North Carolina changed 

our law fairly recently to allow permitted 

conceal carry in an establishment 

that serves alcohol, provided that the 

permittee is not consuming alcohol. 

Carry into such an establishment in a 

state that does not permit concealed 

carry on that premises at all, and you 

are asking for trouble. Some states 

have laws that ban possession of a 

weapon at all on certain premises 

unless you have specifi c permission 

from the person in control of the 

premises. 

Those who prefer to carry their 

weapons openly can run into similar 

trouble. In NC, open carry is generally 

allowed, except in prohibited 

places like courthouses, schools, 

etc. But cross into South Carolina 

or Georgia with a pistol on your hip 

and you may get cited for open carry 

without a permit, because they do indeed 

require a permit to carry openly. 

Other states require that open carry 

be in a belt holster only. Others ban 

open carry altogether. 

Some differences in the law affect 

both open and concealed carry. For 

instance, some states require that 

any fi rearm brought into that state be 

registered with the police within a given 

time. Others require a separate 

permit to merely possess a weapon 

at all. Some states prohibit carry on 

a highway rest stop, or a public park. 

Some have “Stand Your Ground” or 

“Castle Doctrine” laws that expand 

the circumstances when and if you 

can actually use the gun, and some 

do not. Illinois requires a state-issued 

Firearm Owner Identifi cation 

Card to even purchase ammunition. 

Some municipalities ban the sale or 

possession of hollow-point bullets. 

Special care must be taken when 

travelling through highly-regulated 

states like Maryland, where guns 

must be unloaded and locked in a 

separate container in the trunk. And 

don’t even think about taking a pistol 

into Washington, DC or New York 

City at all! 

Carrying/transporting long arms 

deserves mention as well. Everyone 

should be aware by now of the 

multitude of states and municipalities 

which ban or restrict “assault rifl es” or 

large capacity magazines. But some 

states require that they be unloaded 

and carried locked in the trunk. As 

discussed in a previous article, the 

Federal Firearms Owners Protection 

Act is supposed to protect people 

transporting fi rearms from one state 

to another while merely “passing 

through” a state where the weapon 

would be regulated or prohibited (if 

the weapon is transported in compliance 

with the Act’s provisions), but it 

is no guarantee against prosecution 

by an anti-gun zealot local prosecutor. 

The traps for the unwary are not limited 

to just firearms. I used to attend 

a school for 2-3 days every year in 

Illinois, where I drove 100 miles from 

the airport to the school in unfamiliar 

territory after dark. I knew better 

than to try to carry a pistol there, so 

I bought an electric stun gun. Then I 

learned that Illinois also forbids carrying 

stun guns! 

The lesson here is simple. When 

you cross that state line, you might 

as well be entering a foreign country. 

The ONLY rights that you take 

with you are the ones set out in the 

United States Constitution and the 

FOPA. Ignorance of their laws is not 

an excuse, and they don’t care how 

you did it in North Carolina. We live 

in the “Information Age”, when you 

can get a basic understanding of the 

foreign state’s laws just by visiting 

a website or two. Educate yourself 

before you travel. Some might consider 

it a hassle, but it’s easier (and 

cheaper) than paying a lawyer.

JIM KAIGHN INSURANCE AGENCY- HOME OF THE “INSURANCE DOCTOR” 

BANK ON YOURSELF/ BE YOUR OWN BANK 

We are all human, unless we are born 

with a “silver spoon in our mouth”.. 

If then, those people do not need to go out 

and borrow money because they do not have 

any; they borrow other peoples’ money and 

save their own. When us mere mortals need 

to borrow money in order buy a home, a car, 

refi nance our bills or for whatever reason we 

deem necessary, where do we go??? To 

a bank or some form of lending place.. Did 

you ever wonder where the banks get the 

money to “lend” to us?? In a nutshell:: when 

we deposit money into our savings account , 

the bank pays us a mere pittance interest for 

trusting the bank to keep our money safe.. 

They do not sit on that money, they go 

back and lend it to folks like us and charge 

us a very high interest rate!! This interaction 

between our deposit and them lending is 

called “ARBITRAGE”.. That is how banks 

get big and grow and can help out people 

and our communities.....would you like to be 

your “OWN BANK”, where you could borrow 

money from yourself, pay yourself back 

interest and grow your own nestegg?? There 

is one way to do this and you control everything!!!There 

is a savings vehicle that does 

this.. It has a fund that is GUARANTEED 

TO GROW EVERY YEAR, another fund that 

pays a dividend every year which adds to the 

savings amount each year.. When the value 

of your fund is large enough in your mind (say 

you want to buy a car for CASH, you just go 

into the account, draw out the amount you 

need and buy that car, or whatever you wanted..BUT 

HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE.. you 

set up your own repayment schedule each 

month along with interest payments to repay 

the loan and to help the fund keep growing 

until you need it again!! No worries about your 

credit score or past repos or debt problems, 

you might not be rich in other money matters, 

but this one can make you so, if you have the 

due diligence to stick with the plan.. 

And lets say you are saving for years to buy 

that special house or boat or whatever..AND 

YOU DIE BEFORE YO CAN REACH YOUR 

GOAL!! The plan will give your family probably 

thousands of dollars to comfort the family 

left behind...ALL OFF THIS IS “TAX FREE”.. 

saving the money, getting it out , and the pay 

out to the family ( there are some situations 

where a little bit of this might have tax to pay.. 

but rarely)..This miracle plan is PERMANENT 

LIFE INSURANCE--WHOLE LIFE THAT 

PAYS DIVIDENDS!! Not Universal Life, not 

Variable Life products tied to stock market or 

S&P 500 or other indexes.. This type of plan, 

based around the amount of money you an 

afford to buy LIFE INSURANCE, determines 

the growth value of the plan inside. 

This is not a get rich quick scheme, it takes 

years to build up values that make it attractive 

to use as your own bank.. Now, I am 

not saying there are not other ways to save 

money, but you can risk losing some or all of 

it.. This idea is not for everyone, but look into 

it with me and I can direct you really how it 

works.. The younger you are when you start, 

the more you can have later in life to “BANK 

ON YOURSELF” .. If you wish to contact me 

and chat, call me at 252 335 5983 or 252 

202 5983, or my e-mail is WWW.INSDR@ 

ROADRUNNER,COM.. I have been in business 

here in Northeastern N,C, for over 50 

years and I have taught insurance classes at 

the College of the Albemarle.. Thought of the 

month: Do unto others as you wish they do 

unto you.. Happy Trails!!

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) or 

E-mail at 

reedadams@yahoo.com 

Dear Dr. Crime: At our book club one of my friends told 

me a student took Ketamine to school. She was upset. 

What is Ketamine? Should I tell the principal? Southern 

Bell 

Dear Bell: Ketamine, an anesthetic, ( K, Special K, Ket, 

and Kit Kat ) is known as a date-rape drug. Studies of 

ketamine’s effects revealed dreams, “trips”, and a sense 

of well-being after using it. It is legal when used medically, 

but illegal when used recreationally. Outside of 

medical use, simple possession of ketamine is a crime. 

As for reporting it, yes do so. As for use of drugs outside 

of medical settings so as to get a buzz, or other improper 

outcomes, NO. Avoid them. And remember the now 

well-known phrase “If you see something, say something”. 

Dear Dr. Crime: It seems that every time I cut on the 

TV another school shooting is reported. Your reporting 

on kids killing kids in school doesn’t tell me enough 

about how much there is and if I should take my kids out 

of public school. I see the local newspaper just ran an 

editorial saying “Eventually a school shooting will come to 

N.C.” Tell us how likely it is my kids will be in a shooting. 

Typical Parents. 

Dear Typical Mom and Dad: I suspect your emotions 

are more common than any of us know. Parents have 

been given many frightening reports. The amount of 

research and statistics are massive because of the extremely 

widespread concern for our children. I refer you 

to a free download “Indicators of School Crime and Safety, 

2016” from the National Center for Education Statistics 

and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Go to https://nces. 

ed.gov/pubs2017/2017064.pdf and let me what you think. 

Dear Dr. Crime: I am a politician. I need to know the 

best government policy to reduce school shootings and 

make our schools safe again. No-name fellow. 

Dear No-Name: I wish more politicians would ask for advice 

from non-governmental researchers. I refer you fi rst 

to the current issue of the American Journal of Criminal 

Justice (Vol. 43, #1, Spring 2018) devoted entirely to 

“School Safety: Increasing Understanding/Decreasing 

Misunderstanding in the Realm of School Safety”. Moreover, 

I encourage the government to create a statewide 

body devoted only to a review of the scientifi c literature 

on school safety. That group should provide to all county 

Boards of Education and county managers periodic 

reviews of what works and what does not work, and why. 

The group should be independent of government so as 

to be free of infl uence. The issue is more complex than it 

fi rst appears. 

Dear Dr. Crime: You are so full of bunk. Research heck! 

I know how to keep kids in line, about anything. You 

smack them, hard and often and right away. That will 

stop the bad behavior! They will get the idea of what is 

right and grow up well. Typical Dad 

Dear Typical Dad: Many people agree with you. I agree 

that some behaviors can be handled as you say, particularly 

the part about the time lapse between the bad 

behavior and your response. Punishment or reward has 

to be quick to be linked with the child’s behavior. I am 

far more in favor of rewarding good behavior than simply 

punishing bad behavior. The May, 2018 issue of WebMD 

(see your physician’s office for a copy) has a review of 

what the research shows the impact of spanking children 

has on them. The report shows that the majority of parents 

agree with you to a large degree. BUT, the research 

shows that spanking causes problems later in life. Citing 

good research, the report indicated that corporal punishment 

was associated with violence with a date, attempted 

suicide, heavy drinking, drug use, depression, aggression, 

and family fi ghts. And a review of 75 research 

studies found no evidence spanking improved children’s 

behavior, but taught them how not to get caught. If you 

have a child go to WebMD.com and see the “alternatives 

to spanking”. 

Dear Dr. Crime: Is there a change happening with drug 

use by kids? Teacher. 

Dear Teacher: The Centers for Disease Control reports 

that overall drug use by kids is going down and overdose 

deaths are up. The drugs are more powerful than in the 

past. Fentanyl is out there, and is 50 to 100 times more 

powerful than heroin. 

Dear Dr. Crime: The world seems to be less trustworthy 

than in the past. What can I do to make my cell phone 

safe? Old Guy. 

Dear Old Guy: Yes, the phones today are not like 

Grandma’s phone. Consumer Reports suggests you (1) 

use a lock code, (2) encrypt your phone, and (3) set up a 

phone fi nding application. For help with these, talk with 

your phone service provider. 

Dear Dr. Crime: How do I make sure I don’t get in trouble 

when I pay my taxes? Avoiding prison 

Dear Good Citizen: With limited information the best I 

can say is be honest and use the IRS Witholding Calculator. 

You can get a copy at IRS.gov/individuals/irs-withholding-calculator. 

At the IRS site you will fi nd a lot of 

good information. 


Chowanoke History 

by Duvonya Chavis 

T 

he Algonquian language has always appeared to be complex in both written 

and spoken form to the average English speaking person. Yet prior to colonization, 

this language was the primary language spoken by Natives along the 

Eastern shores of North America and by many tribes who lived as far west as 

Ohio. The Chowanoke Indians spoke Algonquian and while the dialects varied, 

there was enough similarity that tribes could easily communicate with one another. 

The Chowanoke dialect was somewhat comparable to the Algonquian dialect 

of the New England states and certain portions of Canada. However there was 

some variation found among the Algonquian dialects spoken in the mid-Western 

areas. 

Tribes whose primary language was derived from another linguistic family, 

could often communicate with its tribal neighbors. For example, the Tuscarora 

who were neighbors and lived in proximity to the Chowanoke, spoke an Iroquoian 

language. However, because they also interacted with the Chowanoke to 

a large degree, they could communicate with them in their Algonquian language 

as well. 

Colonizers found many Indigenous words too long and diffi cult to pronounce 

and as a result forced tribes to stop communicating in their language. Many 

recorded instances among tribes residing in the west attest to the fact that Indian 

students were forbidden to speak their language in Indian boarding schools and 

were punished if caught doing so. Even in our own community, names were 

shortened for those Natives who chose not to take English names. One example 

is the shortening of an Indian name to a family name known today as Tann. 

In 2007, the United Nations adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous 

People which states in Article 13 that all Indigenous peoples have the right 

to perpetuate their languages and histories to future generations and that States 

shall ensure that this right is protected. Since its adoption, a renaissance of Algonquian 

and other Native language curriculums have been seen in tribal communities 

and schools throughout the US. Even prior to the adoption of UNDRIP, 

the Children’s House in Mashpee, Massachusetts began teaching its pre-K and 

kindergarten Wampanoag students its Algonquian language. However since the 

Declaration, a public school has incorporated the Algonquian language into its 

language curriculum where Native high school students have the opportunity 

and are once again learning to speak their Native Algonquian language fl uently. 

Duvonya, a Chowanoke Indian 

descendant, is President 

of Roanoke-Chowan Native 

American Association, a 

non-profi t organization whose 

mission is to help American 

Indians in Northeastern NC 

and Southeastern VA. She 

currently sits on the council 

of the Chowanoke Tribe. 

In partnership with another 

Chowanoke descendant, 

she is currently developing 

Chowanoke Reservation for 

tribal descendants to gather 

and hold cultural events.

The 2018 Biggs Classis Was a Classic 

Sometimes you just need a little luck and maybe 

a little cooperation from Mother Nature. 

The 2018 Biggs Classic golf tournament played 

on May 24-26 in Hertford on Albemarle Plantation’s 

Sound Golf Links got a big break from 

Mother Nature when she provided three glorious 

days of sunshine after a deluge on the eve of the 

tournament. 

The event featured 120 young golf professionals 

from all over the United States and some from 

as far away as South Africa and Great Britain. 

All were competing for the top money prize of 

$12,000 and an exemption to play in Web.com’s 

Rex Hospital Open the following week in Raleigh. 

The golf, like the weather, was spectacular. 

You don’t know how well these young pros play 

until you’ve seen them in action. The fi rst day saw 

Chris O’Neill of Glen Allen, Virginia, take the lead 

with a 65. But he was passed on the second day 

by Drew Weaver of High Point, North Carolina, 

who tied the course record with a 64 to go along 

with a 67 the fi rst day. Another golfer had an even 

better second day: Kelby Burton, former golf star 

at Kennesaw State, set a new course record with 

a 63. 

The best action was yet to come. On the final 

day, with Weaver leading the fi eld by a single 

by Claude Milot 

stroke, David Gazzolo burst from the pack to win 

it all, beating Weaver by one stroke by shooting a 

total of 14 under par for the tournament. But Gazzolo 

did not just win, he did it in the most spectacular 

fashion. The 31-year old who played for 

Virginia Tech and won the 2007 Amateur Championship, 

came to the 18th hole tied with Weaver 

for the lead. He decided not to play it safe. Instead 

of laying up on the short 343-yard Par 4 hole, he 

took advantage of a following wind and aimed 

his drive straight at the hole. The ball reached 

the green and came to rest only 18 inches from 

the hole for an incredible eagle. Weaver, playing 

in the group behind Gazzolo, had a birdie of his 

own on the last hole, but it wasn’t enough. What 

a fi nish! 

Now in its fi fth year staging a professional golf 

tournament, the Biggs Classic has become the 

standard for developmental tour golf. And it’s not 

just the golf and the superb golf course, it’s the 

enthusiastic support of the competition’s many 

sponsors and the hospitality of Albemarle Plantation’s 

residents that make this event so special. 

Gary Haugh, president of GPro Golf, Albemarle 

Plantation’s partner this year in staging the Biggs 

Classic, is looking forward to this relationship for 

years to come. Why not? It’s a classic event in 

every sense of the word.

Raymond’s Creek 

T 

he Raymon’s Creek subdivision, situated in Camden, 

NC, near the village of Shiloh, is less than 45 minutes 

south of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, and 45 

minutes west of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Its location 

provides convenient access to Virginia’s three largest 

cities - Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake. To the 

east, Currituck County’s H2OBX waterpark, the Dare 

County beaches, and numerous wildlife refuges are easily 

accessible for day trips. 

The development abuts the expansive Raymon’s Creek 

estuary and the Pasquotank River. The Raymon’s Creek 

Homeowner’s Association community park and pier, 

overlooks Albemarle Sound, and is suitable for wading, 

swimming, and boating. Woods and waters surrounding 

the neighborhood provide abundant opportunities for 

fi shing, birdwatching, hiking, kayaking, or simply basking 

in solitude. 

Two of the remaining lots abut the Raymon’s Creek estuary, 

and all lots have deeded access to the Pasquotank 

River via the homeowners’ association common area. All 

lots connect to the county’s water system, and impact 

fees have been paid for most sites. Dominion Power provides 

underground electric service, and all lots have been 

pre-tested for septic systems. 

For individuals desiring more than a lot, an adjacent 

eight-acres tract is available, offering views of the 

Raymon’s Creek estuary and the Pasquotank River. An 

outbuilding sits on the cleared portion of the tract, and a 

newly constructed creekside pier provides safe harbor for 

boats. 

For more information, visit www.raymonscreek.com, or 

call George Jackson, Developer/Broker. 

Phase One of the subdivision, comprised of 12 lots, was 

created in the early 1990s. All of the original lots have 

been sold, and, ten families now reside in the neighborhood. 

In 2015, the adjacent 13 acres were divided into 

fi ve wooded/partially-cleared lots ranging in size from 

1.5 acres to 5 acres. Prices begin at $44,000. One lot in 

Phase Two has been sold, and site work is underway for 

a new custom home, being offered by Kyro Builders, LLC. 

Only 4 lots available

Blue Crabs 

By Jimmy Fleming mrfl emz@embarqmail.com 

I 

f one commodity has been exploited to the fullest in Tyrrell 

County and eastern North Carolina over the past 30 years it’s 

the amazing Blue Crab. From back in the early days where they 

were caught on trot lines or hand lines to today where they are 

caught using large baited pots (traps). The blue crab is common in 

most eastern NC waters but the Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds account 

for most of the commercial harvest which exceeds 20 million 

pounds per year. Male crabs are called a Jimmy and female crabs 

are called sooks or she-crabs depending on their age.. A female 

crab with an egg mass attached to her body is called a sponge crab 

and she can spawn twice in her life releasing up to two million eggs 

each time. 

There are many watermen in our area who make their living catching 

blue crabs starting in early spring and into late fall depending 

on market price and number of available crabs. In order to grow, 

blue crabs must shed their shell up to 25 times during their lives. 

During this time the old hard shell is replaced with a new very soft 

shell that will gradually harden. These softshell crabs are a delicacy 

that are harvested and eagerly consumed by by locals and visitors 

alike. The blue crab is not just for commercial harvest. Many locals 

and visitors enjoy setting a crab trap or dangling a line baited with 

a chicken wing to catch a mess of crabs. Most of these end up in a 

pot of boiling water seasoned with a good bit of Old Bay Seasoning. 

Any way you look at it, commercial or sport, the blue crab is 

a welcome part of eastern North Carolina’s marine environment. 

This summer, enjoy some fresh softshells or a delicious crab boil … 

cause they’re goooooooood!!!! 

Pet Partners 

By Jane Elfring 

Is there a difference between therapy, assistance, emotional support 

and service dogs? Yes. 

Pet Partners members are frequently asked if our dogs are service 

dogs or if they can provide emotional support. Our dogs are not service, 

hearing or guide dogs. Those dogs have been specially trained 

to work with specifi c individuals. 

Our dogs have been trained to provide animal-assisted interventions 

to different groups, such as veterans or others suffering from PTSD, 

special needs individuals or residents of nursing homes, to name a 

few. 

Therapy animals provide benefi ts to many individuals, unlike assistance 

or emotional support animals who work with a specifi c individual. 

Because of this, it is okay to approach our dogs in public places. 

They have been evaluated to be tolerant of a wide variety of environments, 

such as hospitals and nursing homes. 

Our dogs are not allowed special privileges such as living in “no pet” 

housing settings, do not have access to store and restaurants and 

cannot fl y in the cabin of airplanes. 

Our handlers complete an on-line Pet Partners handler course, have 

their animals screened by a veterinarian, and are evaluated by a Pet 

Partners licenses team evaluator. Following successful competition of 

these steps, teams are approved to begin visiting facilities, groups and 

individuals in Perquimans, Pasquotank and Camden Counties. 

The next meeting of the group will be June 20, 5-6:30 pm, at the 

Pasquotank County Library, 100 E. Colonial Ave.

olunteers are the backbone of Elizabeth City Habitat 

for Humanity. Our store has three part-time employees, 

and we rely on volunteers to help with customer service 

and store tasks. Our board of directors is also comprised of 

volunteers. 

We need people on our board to supervise the store 

operation, seek grants and other funding sources, and help 

with family selection. Board members attend one meeting 

a month and perform other tasks for short periods of time 

during the month. 

In addition to board positions, we need people who can 

evaluate applications and conduct home visits for family 

selection, builders to supervise construction activities and 

volunteers to help with construction and rehab jobs. Many 

of these tasks require a minimum time commitment on an 

intermittent basis. 

If you are interested in helping in any capacity, please 

contact Jane Elfring, 252-384-0115.

Dear Mom and Dad, 

Ruth just left my kitchen after more 

than an hour of crying. You remember 

my good friend Ruth, don’t 

you? Her children play soccer with 

Sabrina. 

Yesterday Ruth’s mom died unexpectedly. 

Do you remember several 

months ago when I told you that 

Ruth’s dad had gone into a nursing 

home? It was such an emotional 

decision for Ruth’s mom to put her 

husband of more than 40 years into 

a nursing home. There was no way 

she could continue to care for him 

anymore. His condition had just 

deteriorated so quickly. Last week 

he didn’t even recognize Ruth or her 

mom. 

Ruth is really devastated now. Her 

parents never believed in preparing 

for their old age or death. Ruth’s 

mom never expected to die fi rst. 

Now, because dad is unable to 

make his own decisions, the court 

is requiring a guardianship. After 

talking with a lawyer, Ruth learned 

that the guardianship could have 

been avoided -if only her parents 

had a durable power of attorney and 

health care power of attorney. Now, 

the guardianship will cost thousands 

of dollars. In addition, the court must 

be consulted for everything! Ruth’s 

mom never believed in going to see 

a lawyer to plan for her husband’s 

long-term care. Ruth’s mom never 

had a will either. Ruth recently 

learned that, under North Carolina 

law, her dad gets everything and he 

loses all his Medicaid benefi ts. Everything 

that Ruth’s mom had hoped 

would go to her children will now go 

to the nursing home to pay for Ruth’s 

dad’s care. To make matters worse, 

the court would not even allow Ruth 

to be her Dad’s guardian. Apparently, 

her estranged brother objected to 

her appointment as guardian. A lawyer 

is now looking after Ruth’s dad. 

It’s a lawyer who had never even 

heard his name before the competency 

hearing. All of this could have 

been avoided if Ruth’s parents had 

adopted an estate plan that avoided 

or planned for these emergency 

situations. 

Mom and Dad, I know you value 

your privacy, but none of us has 

a crystal ball. When God calls us 

home-it’s time. I see the agony that 

Ruth is going through. She’s trying 

to understand why her parents would 

not trust her in their later years and 

would not discuss their fi nances with 

her. Please know that I am not trying 

to pry. My interest in your getting 

things in order may appear to have 

a selfi sh aspect to it, but I just want 

to be sure that you are taken care 

of and things are done as you want 

them to be done. I listen to Ruth and 

see the tears she has shed because 

of the waste that is taking place. Because 

her parents failed to plan for 

the unexpected, I am truly moved to 

ask you to make sure that you have 

a durable power of attorney, health 

care power of attorney, and a will or 

trust. That way, if you were to get 

sick or die, the confusion and cost 

would not compound my grief. 

You are very precious to Sabrina 

and me. We look forward to sharing 

many years of fun and joy, as well 

as your wisdom. But, as your oldest 

child, I am truly moved to bring this 

subject to the forefront.

Professionalism 

What does Professionalism 

mean to me? Professionalism 

refers to the way in which a person 

conducts business and how they interact 

with coworkers, subordinates, 

and the public. Professionalism 

is more than possessing a college 

degree or a long list of accomplishments. 

Professionalism incorporates 

many different attributes that 

make a person a true professional. 

A professional should be confi dent, 

polite, and a good communicator. 

Professionalism means remaining 

calm even in a tense work environment. 

A professional must be 

reliable and dependable. People 

will be counting on you to get the job 

done promptly and with a satisfactory 

outcome. Professionals should 

be competent in their fi eld and willing 

to educate those around them. 

If I am elected Sheriff, I will ensure I 

am surrounded by men and women 

who are competent and highly 

trained to perform their duties. 

By Jim Bray 

Professionalism means being 

organized and accountable for your 

actions and the actions of subordinates. 

A professional must accept 

responsibility and take their job seriously. 

Lastly, what I believe to be 

the most important characteristic of 

professionalism is ethics. A professional 

should do what is right even 

when no one is watching. Integrity 

and ethics form the foundation of 

a person and this defi nes a real 

professional. The level of leadership 

a person is capable of is often 

refl ected in their professionalism. As 

the Sheriff of Perquimans County, 

I want to be that strong leader that 

exemplifi es professionalism while 

being a positive role model for the 

community. I would appreciate your 

support in my bid to be the Perquimans 

County Sheriff in 2018.

When you redo a piece of furniture, you are not limited to 

just paint or stain. Here I took a solid wood (no veneer) 

dresser, and sanded it down and applied Audrey Hepburn 

to it with some of her most famous quotes. Trimmed it out 

in silver, redid her original hardware and fi nished her off 

with a satin poly for protection. Now she is ready to reuse

We know the scene and we love it. It’s a blue sky 

day over an indigo horizon. Long ribbons of 

snow white waves break on the strand with the echo 

of a thousand trees in the wind. 

It is the morning on the OBX shore after a night 

storm that washed the humidity away, and now everything 

is bright and clear. 

by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd 

“By these words the Lord is teaching those who pray 

to begin with the very mystery of God ... The words 

of the prayer really point to the Father, the Father’s 

name, and the Kingdom, to teach us ... to honor, to 

call upon and to adore the One Trinity. For the name 

of God the Father, essentially, is the only-begotten 

Son. And the Kingdom of God the Father, essentially, 

is the Holy Spirit.” 

At that moment, we come face to face with a symbol 

of infi nity. 

But even that oceanic view could not contain the 

substance of this prayer: 

Even greater, even more unthinkable, is the revelation 

that God is Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All 

creation is a gift, showing that God is Trinity, and that 

the Trinity is love ... 

“Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy 

Name, Thy Kingdom come ...” 

Most people know this prayer well, but its depth of 

meaning is hidden by its simplicity. It sounds like a 

“family” prayer, and indeed it really is, as it starts with 

“Our Father.” But this little phrase, when addressed to 

God, is actually startling. The very idea of calling God 

“Father” could not have been invented out of a fantasy. 

The sheer new-ness of “Our Father” had to have 

come from outside the human mind. It had to come as 

a gift, a revelation.

Growing a Healthy Habit One Day at a Time!

Educators & Integrative Health Coaches 

Nutrition Pair, LLC 

Many schemes promise quick ways to get rich, 

regrow hair, eliminate wrinkles or lose weight. 

While we wish we could say it was easy, changing 

behaviors to get healthier requires time, effort and 

sacrifi ce. At Nutrition Pair, we don’t believe in the 

fad diet approach. We work with you to help you 

discover your path to wellness. It’s not a onetime 

thing. Most clients we work with are seen at 

least on a monthly basis. We have found that this 

approach works best when clients are trying to 

change behaviors. There is no failure. If you can 

learn something new from each experience, you 

have not failed. This is true even if you have not 

reached your goals. Like plants, it takes time to 

grow new habits. 

Setting up clear expectations is an important step 

in the change process. Remember, we are here 

to support you, cheer you on, and to hold you accountable 

as you fi nd your way. We provide education, 

if necessary and with your approval. You are 

the most important member of the team. Without 

your input, it will be diffi cult to help you grow. 

The safest course is to do 

nothing against one’s conscience. 

With this secret, we 

can enjoy life and have no 

fear from death.

New Edenton Business Fosters Creativity, Civic Engagement, and ‘Fandom’ Downtown 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 

As you leave the Edenton waterfront, you 

may have seen a plainly printed “Seamstress 

Sewing” sign outside a renovated storefront 

by Waterman’s Grill. It seemed practical 

for me to drop by as a busy mom and meet 

someone who could improve my professional 

wardrobe and offer suggestions for what to 

wear on date night. 

Quickly, I realized Victorians Boutique For 

Him and Her (431 S. Broad St.) was about way 

more than clothing. With lively spiritual music, 

the aroma of fresh cut roses, and a friendly 

welcome, this place is an absolute “must” 

shopping experience. As the name implies, it 

is the only boutique in Edenton catering to both 

women and men. 

“We celebrate people who dare to succeed 

and keep moving forward,” says founder 

Jacqueline Hardy Lassiter, an Edenton native, 

about the mission of her business. “Our civic 

duty is to pay homage to those before us by 

blazing trails for those behind us.” 

Lassiter was living in Boston with her three 

children when an unexpected prompting on 

the way to a family funeral led her to return 

home and embrace a new challenge. A strong 

woman of faith, Jacqueline recognized moving 

to Edenton fulfi lled a greater purpose. 

She is passionate about connecting with the 

community and encouraging others to partake 

in the economic revitalization of the town. 

Jacqueline looks forward to seeing young 

entrepreneurs rise up to give Edenton greater 

success. 

Come meet Jacqueline, the vessel of this 

family legacy, and pick up that unique, inspirational 

gift for Father’s Day. Victorians will host 

a Father’s Day Sip on June 16th from 2-4pm 

showcasing NFL pieces, as well as spiffy-casual 

and board room attire for men.

you, check out victoriansfashion.com or call

New Exhibits Coming to MOA in June 

Albemarle Craftsman Fair participants 

Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle 

wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov 

T 

he Museum of the Albemarle will open two new exhibits 

during the month of June. The fi rst, titled River 

Bridge: Sunken Secrets, opens June 16, 2018. The 

exhibit will feature over 275 artifacts recovered from an 

underwater archaeology site on the Pasquotank River 

called River Bridge. A wide range of goods were imported 

to the wharf site at River Bridge and were stored 

at warehouses and inspection stations once located at 

or near the bridge. These goods included everything 

from pearlware and creamware ceramics to glass vials, 

grave markers, axes, engraved wine decanters, faunal 

and botanical artifacts, shoes, personal effects, and 

shingles. 

Of the over 10,000 artifacts recovered from the site, 

more than half (5,514) were ceramics that included 

hand-painted pearlware with Chinese-like motifs, 

earthenware butter pots and dairy pans, stoneware 

crocks, creamware bowls and plates, Staffordshire 

slipware, gray salt-glazed Westerwald stoneware, 

brightly decorated teacups, and hundreds of tobacco 

pipe fragments. The earliest artifacts include fragments 

of 17th- to 18th-century tin-glazed earthenware, a circa 

1720 undecorated white salt-glazed cup, and a circa 

1760 creamware dinner plate. 

On June 25, 2018 Celebrating 60 Years of the 

Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair will open. The Albemarle 

Craftsman’s Fair, founded in 1959, holds its 60th annual 

fair this Fall. Craftsmen from regional counties, across 

the state, and as far as Florida exhibit, demonstrate, 

and promote their best of handcrafts during the fairs. 

First organized by Home Demonstration Agents from 

Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Pasquotank, 

and Perquimans counties and the Elizabeth City Chamber 

of Commerce, the Fair’s purpose was not only to 

boost the regional economy by providing artisans with 

an outlet for selling their crafts, but also to promote and 

teach traditional crafts.

Ag Grant Sought for Region 

by: C.L. Cooke 

T 

he Golden Leaf Foundation has begun the 

cycle where applicants in the Northeast Prosperity 

Zone can apply for grants funded from the 

Master Settlement Agreement. Also known as the 

Tobacco Settlement Agreement, funds can be used 

for programs that encourage purchase of NC products 

and prove sustainability of family farms. 

C.L. Cooke of Elizabeth City has begun the 

process to coordinate interest in seeking a $1.5 

M grant to meet the required criteria for interested 

farmers in the 17 county Northeast Prosperity 

Zone. Camden County Manager, Ken Bowman, 

gave Cooke the go ahead to seek support from 

other county managers willing to become part of 

the process. This step was necessary as all participating 

county managers would sign off on the 

Community Based Grant Initiative proposal upon 

completion. 

The process underway is to identify interested 

farmers, agriculture consultants, cooperative extension, 

(FFA) Future Farmers of America at the local 

High Schools, and those with expertise in the most 

modern practices for sustainable farming methods. 

Identifying the best crops based on soil type 

and climate will be a contributing factor along with 

current and projected market demand. Of great interest 

is organic farming products and methodology 

as well as the hot house for seedling germination. 

If possible, at least one farmer from each of the 17 

counties in the Northeast Prosperity might participate. 

Thought not a requirement, we hope to 

include all who are interested and willing. A list of 

the 17 counties are as follows: Beaufort, Bertie, 

Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Halifax, 

Hertford, Hyde, Martin, Northampton, Pasquotank, 

Perquimans, Pitt, Washington, and Tyrrell. 

Any and all interested parties are asked to contact 

Mr. Cooke at larryc609@gmail.com. 

We are all full of weakness and 

errors; let us mutually pardon each 

other our follies - it is the fi rst law of 

nature.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures 

If you are here on the Outer Banks for vacation then I want to share 

with you several different fi shing opportunities that you can do as 

a family and make some lasting memories of your trip to the Outer 

Banks. One way is a trip to one of six fi shing piers located from Kill 

Devil Hills to Avon. Check with the piers because many of them will 

rent rods and reels and supply you with all you will need to fi sh. The 

pier is a great way to fi sh if you are worried about seasickness, short 

attention spans, and it is your best value. Fishing on a pier requires no 

license and most piers give you an option for a day or weekly pass, so 

you can come and go several times during the day or week. 

If you are here on June 20, 2018, and have children, the annual Fritz 

Boyden Youth Fishing Tournament will be from 800AM to 1200PM and 

is open to children 4-16 and is free. The participating piers are Avalon, 

Nags Head, Jennette’s and OBX Piers. Registration starts at 730AM 

and there will be an awards ceremony after the event. Check the Facebook 

page “Nags Head Youth Fishing Tournament” for updates.

price is reasonable and rods and reels are furnished or you can bring 

your own. Also you can charter a boat for backcountry or sound fi shing, 

which is a good idea for children or if you are uneasy to try the ocean 

because of seasickness. Near Shore fi shing is also a good way to 

experience ocean fi shing and still be in sight of land. 

Both Sound and Near Shore Fishing Trips book for 4 hours, half 

days and whole days so you can chose which one you would like to 

try. There are also independent charters like Rock On and Overdrawn 

Charters that will meet you at the NC Wildlife Boat Ramp on the Nags 

Head Causeway. All inshore charters supply everything you will need 

to fish and they have a blanket fi shing license so you will not need a 

license. So get the kids out of the pool or away from the TV and video 

games. Get your family on the water and make some memories while 

you are here on the Outer Banks! 

Surf fishing is another option but you will need rods, reels and tackle. 

Some rental cottages come equipped with these items. If not, you will 

have to go to a local tackle shop. If you go, please do yourself a favor 

and visit a local tackle shop in lieu of a big box store because their 

prices are competitive and they can give you fi shing tips and advice. 

If you fish on the surf and you are 16 years or older, you will need to 

purchase a Coastal Recreational Fishing License.

If you would like take the family out on a fi shing trip on a boat, there 

are also several options that you can consider. At the Oregon Inlet 

Fishing Center, Pirates Cove, and Oden’s Dock, you will fi nd a Headboat 

where you can fi sh on a boat with a large group of people.The

you may not recognize it; however, visitors to the Frisco Native 

American Museum & Natural History Center will hear the 

words—which mean Welcome” - at the museum this summer. 

Although considered by some to be endangered, the written 

Cherokee language dates back to the early 1800’s. It was 

developed over a period of 12 years by Cherokee native, 

Sequoyan, who began the process in 1809. By the 1900’s the 

language was widely accepted and during World War I, it was 

one of the languages pioneered by Code Talkers to help win 

the war. 

On Wednesdays throughout the summer, museum visitors 

will have an opportunity to learn about Cherokee culture, 

language, and history from descendant and scholar, Dr. Tina 

Bradley. individuals will also have a chance to see their 

names written in the Cherokee language syllabary. The translated 

name makes a great keepsake regardless of heritage, 

and the opportunity to hear the language and try to speak it is 

fun for everyone in the family—from pre-schools to seniors! 

Dr. Bradley, who teaches at College of the Albemarle, has 

done extensive work with the original Cherokee language 

including the online Cherokee--English Transcription and 

Translation program, creating the K-12 language curriculum 

for the federal reservation school, and crafting the embedded 

language technique opening the way for digital transfer of 

documents and graphic design to anyone. 

The museum program is FREE with admission and will be 

available Wednesday afternoons from May 30th—August 27th. 

The museum, which is located on Hatteras 

Island, is open Tuesday through Sunday. For

“I found the show fascinating,” said judge and Pocosin Arts

their surroundings and it is really admirable to see how they 

view their home. I selected “Self Portrait” as the Best In 

Show piece because the artist used value correctly in the oil 

painting to make it look alive and that to me is excellence.”

“We are excited about this collaboration which showcases 

incredible area talent,” said Eddie Cooke, President of the 

Outer Banks Forum for the Lively Arts. “The judges agreed 

that the selected piece

Congratulations to all the

Rosie Makes Smashing Good Salads 

When the temperatures outside start rising, I 

cool off with light, refreshing, cool salads, and 

nothing cools like a cucumber. A cool cucumber is 

the perfect foil for hot weather and hot food. 

According to the latest food magazines and food 

emails I get, the newest food trend is smashed 

cucumbers. Smashing cucumbers is not a new 

technique. It’s been standard in many parts of Asia 

for quite some time, but now, it’s just making its way 

to the States. For some reason, we’re slow that way. 

As for the cucumber to use here, I prefer the English 

cucumbers. Those are the long skinny ones 

wrapped in plastic. Generally, English cukes are 

sweeter and milder than regular cukes. They don’t 

have a layer of wax on them and, also, they have 

fewer and smaller seeds and thinner skins, the 

seeds adding to the bitterness of common cukes. 

And, I have found they tend to last longer than the 

regular cucumbers. 


By Rosie Hawthorne 


Now, about that smashing. The smashing technique 

is decidedly Chinese. It cracks the skin, helps 

release the seeds, and splits the fl esh. All of this 

augments the cucumber’s ability to absorb fl avors, 

enhancing any dressing you might apply, unlike 

a sliced cucumber, with its smooth, impenetrable 

surfaces, which would shrug off the dressing. With 

a smashed cucumber, you have all those crooks and 

nannies wide open, just waiting to accept whatever 

dressing you use and form a relationship with it. 

Now, let’s go smash some cucumbers! First, cut 

your cucumber into 3-inch lengths, and then take 

a rolling pin to ‘em. Smash away to break open 

the cucumbers, then pull them apart into irregular 

chunks. Place cucumber chunks in a strainer, lightly 

season with salt and sugar (just a sprinkling of 

each), and let sit for about an hour. 

Drain cucumbers and discard liquid.

Smashed Cucumber Salad 

1 English cucumber, smashed, lightly salted and sugared, and drained 

3/4 cup peanuts, toasted 

1 serrano chili, minced 

some shredded carrot 

For the dressing: 

juice of 1 lime 

juice and pulp of 1-inch 

cube of ginger* 

2 garlic cloves, pressed 

1 TB brown sugar 

1 TB rice vinegar 

2 TB Tamari sauce 

1 tsp sesame oil 

1/4 cup neutral olive oil (I use Bertolli extra light for a neutral oil. It doesn’t 

compete with the other fl avors going on.) 

Mix fi rst seven ingredients until sugar dissolves. Whisk in olive oil. Season 

with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. 

Combine cucumber pieces, noodles, serrano chili, and peanuts. 

Pour dressing over and toss to coat. 

*Ginger Note: Whenever I buy ginger, I cut it into 1-inch cubes and freeze 

it. When I need ginger, I simply nuke a cube for about 25 seconds, put 

it in a garlic press, and I have ginger juice. One cannot easily get ginger 

juice from a fresh piece of ginger.

one tablespoon each of fresh chopped 

mint, parsley, and basil.

alive on the downtown Elizabeth City waterfront with 

Elizabeth City Downtown Inc.’s Summer Movies & Music

enjoy a classic movie at the park on Tuesday evenings 

beginning at 8:30 pm. The movies have traditionally

classics and movies from different genres this year. The

Art in the Albemarle Area 

I 

by Talmage Dunn 

want to thank everyone for all the thoughts and prayers 

during my illness. I am still recovering a bit from surgery 

but everything is on the mend. I still have a surgery to go 

through in September, so keep me in your thoughts. 

As the school is nearly over for this year and summer is 

about to begin. I hope you have made preparations to try 

something new and different this summer season. By now 

three art shows have taken place in our area. The 27th annual 

miniature art show, The Ghost Fleet Gallery “Self-Portrait” 

art show, and the Mollie Fearing Memorial Art show. 

I hope you had the chance to go and view the awesome 

artwork that was on display! 

Currently Articulture: SPLASH is ready to start in Elizabeth 

City. Come out and view the artists at work, walk through 

the downtown, and try your hand at some artwork. The 

dates for this year is June 1st through Jun 10th. I hope you 

had the chance to go and enjoy celebrating artists across 

North Carolina, including returning artist Jane Filer. Interactive 

events will be held for the ten day period at various 

locations on Main Street. Metal work, painting (plein air, 

watercolor, acrylics, etc.), and crafting of all kinds will be 

happening. There will be continued updates around the city 

and musical guest announcements. This event is FREE 

and OPEN to the PUBLIC!!! Tell your friends. 

I have been writing about letting yourself go and enjoy 

viewing art and painting for pleasure. Please allow me to 

explain another value to painting... help in the healing of 

your spirit. Not that painting will cure you of any diseases 

but the therapeutic value that comes from painting. I have 

been working on trying to use these “healing” properties of 

art to help me through my period of convalescence. Painting 

can do this for you also. Let yourself go , put colors on 

canvas, and paint, paint, paint. I have included the painting 

I did during this time. 

What are your plans now that summer is here ? What are 

your children doing over these months away from school? 

Camps? Sports? Vacations? Even when going to these 

activities there is always some form of art going on, maybe 

not painting, but art in some form. Allow me to make a 

suggestion.... art camp! If you are fortunate enough to live 

in the Elizabeth City area... Studio 511 Art and Soul has art 

camps for children and classes for adults. In each of our 

counties there are numerous opportunities to take classes

One Mill Park located in southern Camden County 

has a story to tell, and now is available to all who 

choose to visit. On Tuesday, May 15th, Camden Parks 

and Recreation Director, Tim White, thanked Alex and 

Sandra Leary for their part in discovering, preserving 

and sharing history with the public. Alex Leary was 

swimming in the waters, a favorite spot of locals over 40 

years ago and stubbed his toe on something. He dug 

around it under water and a large round mill stone was 

discovered. He rolled it to shore and solicited friends to 

assist in lifting it into the bed of his truck. Alex has been 

the keeper of many of history’s hidden treasures over 

the years. As a history educator, his love of the past has 

been refl ected in his collections, stories and sharing of 

this knowledge to many civic groups, students and now 

the public who visit the Park. Five windmills once stood 

in the Shiloh area in the 1800’s. Used to grind corn into 

cornmeal, the wind was a source of power for such 

work. Unfortunately, wind was also the source of the 

demise of these mills, at hurricane force. 

White designed and installed an interpretive sign with 

photos of the tall, graceful sentry overlooking the waters 

near the sound. The Mill Stone is also featured in this 

display, a round carved stone, traveling many miles from 

the Caribbean to serve the residents of Camden County. 

Local grain was milled into food for families. This 

lovely park no longer has windmills, but features picnic 

pavilions, playground, boardwalk, boat ramp, restrooms 

and a spectacular view of the Pasquotank River and the 

Albemarle Sound. 

County Manager Ken Bowman and Camden Commissioners 

Tom White and Garry Meiggs each shared 

their appreciation for this historical addition to the 

beautiful Park and thanked the Leary’s for their generous 

donation. More of Camden County’s history can be 

discovered at the Camden County Heritage Museum 

and Historic Jail, open on Friday and Saturday, 10am to 

4pm. Call 252-771-8333 for more information on Camden 

County Tourism.

Look Alike 

When reading these articles highlighting native, local 

wild foods, it may seem that I have been overzealous 

in stressing the importance of absolute confi rmation 

of plant identifi cation prior to consuming these gifts from 

the ground. Failure to attain certain knowledge of plant 

type can result in either a pleasant meal by chance, or 

a decidedly undesirable outcome. If you are not familiar 

with the story of the Greek philosopher Socrates, hemlock 

tea was purportedly the drink of choice that removed 

him from this earthly plane. 

Both plants above are in the same Apiaceae botanical 

family. They both grow in roughly the same environments 

and they both can have hollow stems. The differences 

between the poisonous hemlock plant and the edible 

Queen Anne’s Lace, aka wild carrot, are slight but distinct. 

The hemlock tends to be taller and more branching, 

or “tree-like”, than the wild carrot. The poison hemlock 

stem is hairless and demonstrates purple blotches along 

by: Coy Domecq 

the length of the stem. Queen Anne’s Lace has a hairy 

stem and lacks the purple coloring. Although both plants 

have white fl ower clusters, Queen Anne’s Lace tends to 

have a reddish/purplish center, hence the story of Queen 

Anne pricking her fi nger and (dis)coloring the lace. This 

is not the case for hemlock as the fl ower cluster is uniformly 

white. Additional signifi cant differences between 

the plants exist that are beyond the scope of this article. 

There are many cases of good vs bad lookalike choices 

when collecting wild foods. The degree of certainty when 

collecting these plants is of paramount importance. This 

is not intended to be a fi eld guide to positively identify 

these plants but to heighten awareness of the similarities 

between edible and non-edible plants in general. Oh, by 

the way, the poison hemlock leaf and stem photographs 

presented above are on the left. 

I 

want to thank everyone for your many thoughts and 

blessings during my recovery from surgery. Your kind 

toughts and prayers were really appreciated. I am still in 

the recovery process so please bear with me. 

I also hope everyone has had the opportunity to get out 

and do a little target practice. With all the rain we have 

had of late getting outside to shoot has been a real challenge, 

of course, that happens during hunting season 

also. Sometimes “rainy” day practice has its advantages. 

Know how the weather affects your archery equipment. 

I would like to take this time and review what noted archer 

Fred Bear had to to say reminding us about his “10 

commandments of Deer hunting.” He wrote the following: 

1. Don’t step on anything you can step over. 

2. Don’t look for deer, look for movement, (and remember,,,, 

its what the deer look for also!) 

3. Always approach from downwind, in the cool of the 

day, move uphill, in the heat of the day, move downhill. 

4. The best camoufl age pattern is called, “Sit down and 

be quiet!” Remember, your forefathers hunted deer in a 

red plaid coat. Think about that for a second! 

5. Take only the gear into the fi eld that allows you to 

hunt longer, harder, and smarter. 

6. A rainstorm isn’t a reason to quit the hunt.... its a 

reason to stay! 

7. Camoufl age your appearance, your sound, and your 

scent! 

8. Be sure of your shot. Nothing is more expensive than 

regret! 

9. Hunt where the deer actually are … not where you’d 

imagine them to be. 

10. Next year’s hunt begins the minute this season’s 

hunt ends. 

The NCBA is about to begin its annual membership

Northeast North Carolina Family History – Saving Historical Records 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

get posts from a few genealogical groups on my Facebook 

feed and one from FamilySearch posted mid-May 

I 

caught my attention. After reading the entire article I felt 

impressed to share some of the observations noted there. 

Much of the information comes from the manager of The 

FamilySearch Global Content Strategy team, David Ouimette. 

The five top specifi c threats to the world’s historical records 

were listed as follows: 

1 - Poor Archival storage conditions (48%). Much of the 

world does not have facilities to properly store their records 

and they are exposed to weather conditions that deteriorate 

and sometimes destroy them. 

2 - Political Instability (43%) Government buildings are 

targets for destruction in politically unstable countries during 

times of unrest and revolt. 

3 - Scheduled Destruction (21%) Admittedly this one seems 

hard for me to swallow, but the article describes a couple of 

specifi c countries where the census is routinely destroyed. 

Ghana in Africa does that every 10 years to make way for 

the new census, feeling all useful material has been extracted. 

India has done the same thing but now digitizes what it 

considers important, then destroys the census. As someone 

who is eternally grateful for all the various censuses in North 

America, especially the US census schedules after 1850 

when ALL members of households were supposed to be 

listed, my heart breaks for those in the future that have lost 

this resource in their country. 

I have written about this before, but some counties in 

the US have destroyed vital records thinking them of little 

importance. Many years ago in a northeast North Carolina 

county, I asked to look at marriage licenses for a certain time 

period and was told they had been destroyed. The clerk 

seemed puzzled as to my distress as she added that the indexes 

had been kept. Unfortunately what was lost was the 

names of parents, where they lived and whether they were 

alive or dead at the time of their child’s marriage. Critical 

info when trying to sort out individuals with the same name 

and close birth years. (Sigh...) 

4 - Death of Oral Informant (10%) Much of Africa’s genealogy 

is kept orally by a tribal elder. China also has a history 

of oral genealogy, some dating back thousands of years. As 

young people move away from villages to more urban situations, 

these histories are often lost. Due to divorce and families 

living long distance from their origins, I have found most 

North Americans have lost touch with their backgrounds 

and have few stories to pass on within their own families. 

Defi nitely something we can make an effort to improve upon! 

5 - Natural Disaster (4%). I admit to being somewhat surprised 

at how low natural disasters ranked as I would have 

considered that near the top. But those events still happen 

today, even in our own homes as photos, letters, journals 

and other critical family information molds or dry rots and 

is thrown away, particularly after fl ooding or tornadoes. 

Perhaps a family digitization project pulling in those teenage 

phone skills... 

The microfi lm preservation of records by FamilySearch began 

with its predecessor, the Genealogical Society of Utah 

in a letter written in May of 1938 by then secretary, Archibald 

Bennett. He pleaded that “priceless original records” could 

be reproduced by a new relatively inexpensive means called 

microfi lm. Filming of original records began in the United 

States in that same year, 1938. Unfortunately microfi lming 

in England did not begin until after WWII, too late for many 

destroyed collections. 

I, as well as countless others, have spent untold hours 

pouring over microfi lm and microfi che records looking for 

some sign of ancestors. Today records are preserved by 

330 cameras taking well over 100 million digital images 

of records around the world. With the help of volunteers 

indexing also from around the world, these images are able 

to be quickly located by internet searchers, often in seconds 

- quite a change from the hours we used to spend cranking 

microfi lm readers not knowing if we would fi nd anything! I 

hope as summer events and family reunions get underway 

we will make a conscious effort to record and SAVE our 

records.

How Can You Meet Your Short-term Goals? 

Why do you invest? If you’re like most people, 

you’d probably say that, among other 

things, you want to retire comfortably. Obviously, 

that’s a worthy long-term goal, requiring longterm 

investing. But as you journey through life, 

you’ll also have short-term goals, such as buying 

a second home, remodeling your kitchen or 

taking a much needed vacation. Will you need to 

invest differently for these goals than you would 

for the long-term ones? 

To answer that question, let’s first look at how 

you might invest to achieve your longer-term 

goals. For these goals, the key investment 

ingredient is growth – quite simply, you want 

your money to grow as much as possible over 

time. Consequently, you will likely want a good 

percentage of growth-oriented vehicles, such as 

stocks and other stock-based investments, to 

fund your 401(k), IRA or other accounts. 

However, the flip side of growth is risk. Stocks 

and stock-based investments will always fl uctuate 

in value – which means you could lose some, 

or even all, of your principal. Hopefully, though, 

by putting time on your side – that is, by holding 

your growth-oriented investments for decades – 

you can overcome the inevitable short-term price 

drops. 

Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe 

In short, when investing for long-term goals, 

you’re seeking signifi cant growth and, in doing 

so, you’ll have to accept some degree of 

investment risk. But when you’re after short-term 

goals, the formula is somewhat different: You 

don’t need maximum growth potential as much 

as you need to be reasonably confi dent that a 

certain amount of money will be there for you at 

a certain time. 

You may want to work with a fi nancial professional 

to select the appropriate investments for 

your short-term goals. But, in general, you’ll need 

these investments to provide you with the following 

attributes: 

• Protection of principal – As mentioned above, 

when you own stocks, you have no assurance 

that your principal will be preserved; there’s no 

agency, no government offi ce, guaranteeing that 

you won’t lose money. And even some of the 

investments best suited for short-term goals 

won’t come with full guarantees, either, but, 

by and large, they do offer you a reasonable 

amount of confi dence that your principal will 

remain intact. 

• Liquidity – Some short-term investments have 

specifi c terms – i.e., two years, three years, five 

years, etc. – meaning you do have an incentive 

to hold these investments until they mature. Otherwise, 

if you cash out early, you might pay some 

price, such as loss of value or loss of the income 

produced by these investments. Nonetheless, 

these types of investments are usually not 

diffi cult to sell, either before they mature or at 

maturity, and this liquidity will be helpful to you 

when you need the money to meet your shortterm 

goal. 

• Stability of issuer – Although most investments 

suitable for short-term goals do provide a high 

degree of preservation of principal, some of the 

issuers of these investments are stronger and 

more stable than others – and these strong and 

stable issuers are the ones you should stick with. 

Ultimately, most of your investment efforts will 

probably go toward your longterm goals. But 

your short-term goals are still important – and the 

right investment strategy can help you work 

toward them.

Fathers Day 

by Pastor Dan Bergey 

F 

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

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

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

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

day. This month we take time to thank our father(s) and tell them we 

love them. It is hard for me sometimes though not to become cynical 

on days like this. Not because of my relationship with my Father 

who has now passed away, but with the lack of Spiritual and natural 

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

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

children are fi lled with unconditional love, and are pointed in the right 

direction through healthy and Spiritual life examples of the Father. I’m 

in a dream world you say? I politely and lovingly disagree with you. 

Proverbs 23:24 says this “The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, 

and he who begets a wise son will be glad in him.” This picture in 

Scripture is one of beauty, because it describes the Father in the same 

way as the Mother who cared for her body and health as she went 

through pregnancy and birth. 

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

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

macho. It is one of sacrifi ce, challenge and joy. Its true value does not 

have earthly credits, but heavenly ones. If you are in need of strength 

and courage to be a Father, we here at New Life are glad to pray for, 

and encourage you to become the Father, God has created you to be.

Local, State, and Confederate Troops 

By Dr. Dave 

During the War of Northern Aggression 1861-1865 there were 

a number of state and local troops as well as militia and confederate 

government troops that generated from Eastern North 

Carolina towns and counties such as: Washington, Perquimans, 

Pasquotank, Currituck, Gates, Martin, and Chowan Counties etc. 

even though the bulk of confederate men and equipment was 

supplied by North Carolina. From 1861-1865 the total strength of 

individuals in confederate service was 1,003,609 North Carolina 

provided 125,000 soldiers and navy alone to the confederacy, 

which was more than any other confederate state. The War of 

Northern Aggression (or Lincoln’s War) brought on 94,000 confederate 

deaths which 40,000 were of North Carolina descent. 

There were also state and local troop’s mustered together along 

with the junior and senior reserves alongside confederate government 

troops. Of all these military personnel there are many direct 

descendants living today in the same towns and countries and 

some in the same houses. Many of these descendants are listed 

in this article along with their famous kinfolk. Some of the most 

registered regiments and units from these local areas are impart: 

the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 27th, 32th, 56th, 

59th, and 68th also Calvary units of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 12th, and 

15th and also artillery units. 

One of the most widely known units from this area were the 

Camden Guerrillas who were mustered into North Carolina state 

troops but were never turned over to confederate government 

troops although they fought shoulder to shoulder in many of the 

same battles but as North Carolina troops. 

The 68th North Carolina troops as well as the 27th and 56th as 

well as other units were organized from the Camden Guerrillas 

who were organized for the protection of eastern North Carolina 

and predominantly from the Camden County area among others 

The Chowanoke Tribe annual Pow-Wow 

authorized by an ordinance of the convention for North Carolina 

troops 5-12-1862. The Captain was Willis B. Sanderlin and promoted 

to major when the unit was transferred to the 68th North 

Carolina troops. Major Sanderlin is the great-great uncle of now a 

local resident of Currituck E.G. Swain. 

Another group of state troops was the 27th North Carolina Infantry 

Co. F. From Perquimans County known as the Perquimans 

Beaure Gards one of the leaders was William A. Wilson from Perquimans 

County who enlisted at Hertford, N.C. as a Corporal and 

was promoted to sergeant and then elected to 2nd Lieutenant 

and commanded the unit through most of the battles of Virginia 

and North Carolina until the surrender of troops in 1865. Second 

Lieutenant Wilson is a direct descendant of a number of people 

still residing in Perquimans County. Lieutenant Wilson died in 

Norfolk, V.A. in 1891 but his burial place is unknown.
