The God of the Machine by Isabel Paterson 

I 

sabel Paterson (January 22, 1886 – January 10, 1961) was a 

Canadian-American journalist, novelist, political philosopher, and 

a leading literary and cultural critic of her day. Historian Jim Powell 

has called Paterson one of the three founding mothers of American 

libertarianism, along with Rose Wilder Lane and Ayn Rand, who both 

acknowledged an intellectual debt to Paterson. Paterson’s best-known 

work, The God of the Machine (1943), a treatise on political philosophy, 

economics, and history, reached conclusions and espoused beliefs 

that many libertarians credit as a foundation of their philosophy. Her 

biographer Stephen D. Cox (2004) believes Paterson was the “earliest 

progenitor of libertarianism as we know it today.” In a letter of 1943, 

Rand wrote that “The God of the Machine is a document that could 

literally save the world ... The God of the Machine does for capitalism 

what Das Kapital does for the Reds and what the Bible did for Christianity.” 

Paterson further influenced the post-WWII rise of lettered American 

conservatism through her correspondence with the young Russell 

Kirk in the 1940s, and with the young William F. Buckley in the 1950s. 

Buckley and Kirk went on to found the National Review, to which 

Paterson contributed for a brief time. However, she sometimes sharply 

differed from Buckley, for example by disagreeing with the magazine’s 

review of Rand’s novel, Atlas Shrugged. 

In her retirement, Paterson declined to enroll in Social Security and 

kept her Social Security card in an envelope with words “’Social Security’ 

Swindle” written on it. 

Paterson died on January 10, 1961, and was interred in the Welles 

family plot at Saint Mary’s Episcopal Churchyard in Burlington, New 

Jersey.

Perquimans Chamber 

Is it too early to say that the holiday season has 

begun? It is only the beginning of October. But, 

my email is just stuffed with notices about fantastic 

celebrations, events and just plain things to do in Perquimans 

County. And that’s for the month of October. I 

don’t even look into my file of notices for November. 

What am I talking about? you ask. Well, Historical 

Hertford, Inc, the Main Street organization, just held 

their annual wine and craft beer tasting event – a great 

time, I have to say. Did you go? Then, the Perquimans 

County Restoration Association had their annual 

Jollification which includes a tour of historic homes in 

Perquimans County. I saw you in Cove Grove, right? I 

would have said hi, but it was so crowded. 

That was the end of September. Then, in October 

(and I’ll just hit the highlights or this will take forever), 

the Perquimans Art League has their Art on the Perquimans, 

a juried arts and crafts show at the Perquimans 

Recreation Center on the first October Saturday. 

Cale Camp and Conference Center is hosting a Youth 

Retreat that weekend and COA is holding a Manufacturing 

Event as well. Then, the next day Holy Trinity 

is holding a Blessing of the Animals, with a reception 

following so bring your pets for a blessing and to meet 

other animal lovers. The Tri-County Shelter will be 

bringing some pets as well, so you might make a new 

friend or two! 

The Carolina Moon theater is presenting their fall 

production, The Ratcatcher’s Daughter, a musical 

melodrama and farce on the second weekend in 

October (tickets still available). The Winfall Fire 

by Colleen Brown 

Department is giving a Pancake dinner that Thursday 

(Oct. 11) and, if you’re still hungry after that, the Hertford 

Fire Department is having a fundraising auction 

with dinner the next day. It’s called the Sportsman’s 

Giveaway and has $5000 grand prize! Then, Sunday 

afternoon Hertford Baptist Church has a Fall Festival 

with food, recreation, trunk or treat, chili cook off, etc! 

So, that’s up to the 15th and we’re really running out 

of space, so here’s just a taste of the end of the month: 

The Hertford Rotary Concert (do you go every year? I 

make a point of going every year because the band’s 

always good and it’s a great cause) on October 20. 

Holy Trinity’s Lobster Sale is the 26th, so that’s a great 

day to have your parents over for dinner. There’s the 

Belvidere Days celebration on the 27th with entertainment 

on the stage all day and a parade! (Stop by the 

Chamber Booth when you’re there and say Hi! NO, I’m 

not going to be at the dunking booth this year! ) Then, 

that evening, the Crawfish Shack is hosting a Fear 

Fest Haunted Trail guaranteed to be the most thrilling 

ever and all profits to benefit Hurricane Florence 

victims. The Historic Downtown Hertford Trick or Treat 

(for the kids) is the afternoon of the 31st. 

The Hertford Dance Company is hosting a Rhythm 

Run to benefit the Perquimans County School Bands 

and there’s an antique tractor ride, parade and show 

called Wheels of Times Past --- wait, wait, no, that 

November! More on that later. Or, if you can’t wait, 

go to the Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce 

Facebook page for all the details. But with all this to 

do, and every weekend booked, do you see why I think 

that the holiday season has already begun?

model of the totalitarian

― Isabel Paterson, God 

of the Machine 

This is the Time...by Harry Cannon, with Laura Bush Jenkins 

Here we are in a high humidity, high heat season that 

is common for fall in our region. Our community is 

blessed to be spared from Hurricane Florence and operating 

mostly in usual fashion. 

However, as our team at Dwelling Management Solutions 

continues visiting homes, businesses,schools, rentals, 

and churches daily, we still see roof leaks, pipe leaks, 

and condensation that create a breeding ground for 

mold. 

Now is prime time to keep your eyes and nose open 

and inspect your property to reduce potential liabilty and 

costly rehab. 

If you or your organization is considering a DIY projectespecially 

removing water-, our team can collaborate on 

certain aspects to offer recommendations. Many overlooked 

but costly mistakes are avoided with as little as a 

$25 walk-through offering objective feedback. 

In our commitment to transparency, we let you know if 

proposed maintenance is merely a band-aid that isn’t 

addressing the issue. We can video-record what is 

happening in your crawl space, as well as put you in 

protective grear in some cases to show you what is going 

on firsthand. 

Property management professionals, lenders, and 

attorneys who demand accountability routinely rely on 

our mold treatment certificates that help ensure building 

safety. 

Mold is not a gray area. Just as you would routinely 

check for termites instead of hoping to get lucky and then 

finding an infestation when you go to sell your house, 

mold maintenance works similarly Our assessments and 

follow up show you what, if anything, must be done so 

the issue can be resolved. 

When a screenprinter in Black Rock was told by his 

insurance company to “trash the building” and relocate 

after Hurricane Isabel, I sampled a patented chemical 

treatment there that successfully salvaged his property. 

Ironically, someone else in the neighborhood was also 

able to see a turnaround and stay at his location. 

Perhaps you didn’t realize mold damage can be treatable. 

I’m showing realtors, appraisers, and building inspectors 

steps to steward and maintain properties so the 

financial interests and health of occupants are protected. 

To learn more and request a walk through, contact my 

team and me at 252 339 2489 or info@dwellingmanagementsolutions.com.

Business Expo Is A Winner 

by: Holly Staples 

The Chamber’s 27th Annual Business Expo was a winner with exhibitors 

and attendees! Our football themed event featured aspects of 

Physical Fitness, Team Building, Competition, and Victory. 

During the Community Day portion, attendees took advantage of free 

health screenings from Sentara Albemarle Medical Center in order to 

stay in tip top shape. Eager participants engaged in the I in Team teambuilding 

workshop offered free of charge by Eastern Women’s Entrepreneurship 

Center. We then took a “time out” for a Cookie Decorating 

Demonstration by the The Flour Girls, where participants learned how 

to professionally decorate football and stadium shaped cookies. The 

results were delicious! 

Many exhibitors got into the spirit of the theme, but the most outstanding 

were: 

Best Overall – Ambrose Furniture 

Best Use of Theme – Doug Williams/Rick Gilbert Refrigeration, Plumbing, 

Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. 

Best New Exhibitor – Builders Discount Center 

The Tailgate Party event featured stiff competition for the Chef and 

Sweets Challenges. Although each contender was strong, Montero’s was 

victorious as the Chef Challenge Winner, and The Flour Girls claimed the 

Sweets Challenge prize. 

The Spectrum Reach Football Toss Challenge garnered a lot of attention 

as contestants vied for the grand prize of a pair of club level Dallas 

Cowboys vs Washington Redskins tickets. The lead went back and forth 

all night, but in the end, Matt Scribner was the winner. Second place went 

to Tommy Wooten, who won a 4 pack of tickets to UCF vs ECU. Heather 

Sawyer won third place and a 4 pack of tickets to a Northeastern High 

School game and assorted tailgate items. 

Thank you to the Business Expo Committee members who worked so 

hard to create a great event, and to our event volunteers for graciously 

giving their time.

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? 

evacuated from the hurricane expectations in Northeast 

North Carolina. Well, not exactly. It happened 

I 

that I had scheduled my quarterly oncologist session at 

Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, and decided against going 

to worst weather, one of my many principles. So we 

went west and visited relatives. 

Road trips tend to throw me out of my dietary routines 

and if I’m not careful, I wind up with the usual dietary issues. 

I try to remember to hydrate as much as possible, 

take some probiotics if I’m going to eat meat or poultry, 

and of course, fiber. Fiber serves to help move the food 

through digestive system promoting regularity. 

Fiber is being studied to determine if it lowers coronary 

heart disease, diabetes,and diverticular disease. Whole 

grains are the best source, with fruits coming in second. 

I take psyllium fiber supplements, to assure my 

30-40grams a day. That’s my road trip strategy. 

For the past few years I’ve been tweaking my diet to 

determine the best food choices (battling detectable 

cancer is a constant dietary balancing act). I define my 

diet as a Mediterranean. I’ve eliminated dairy products 

(with the exception of high probiotic yogurt), and refined 

carbohydrates. The Mediterranean diet is heavy on olive 

oil,unrefined grains, heavy fruits and vegetables, high 

consumption of fish, moderate consumption of red wine. 

I drink a lot of green tea in lieu of water, pomegranate 

juice, and of course, red wine. Ninety percent of my fluid 

intake contain anti-oxidants. 

I firmly believe that anti-oxidants and probiotics are 

critical additives in our toxic environment. 

Fish oil is also part of my daily intake. Fatty acids 

(omega 3 and omega 6) are essential nutrients. Studies 

suggest if omega 6 exceeds omega 3, it will cause an 

Warren Green can be reached 

at warreng9241@hotmail.com 

immune system response (inflammation). Your body 

doesn’t like imbalances. A daily fish oil supplement assures 

omega 3, always exceeds omega 6. 

Finally, I’m receiving very positive feedback on our 

organic/clean food initiative. I remind you that the USDA 

is making a statement with the development of its National 

Organic Program. The United States Government 

is saying that if it does not say “US Certified Organic”, 

the consumer can not be assured that it doesn’t contain 

pesticides, herbicides, sewage sludge, and thousands of 

federally approved chemicals that damage health. If the 

government is throwing up its hands and and allowing 

the aforementioned substances into the everyday food 

chain It’s up to the consumer, armed with info to demand 

change. Starts with policy makers. 

Recalls: The major nationwide “voluntary” recall was for 

“Ground Beef” from Cargill Meat Solutions, Est. 86R, for 

E-coli contamination. I suggest all ground beef products 

from Cargill be destroyed. This fecal strain of E-coli can 

kill. Might even kill your pet. 

Remember, let clean food be your medicine, 

Protecting your assets, while providing 

the responsive service you deserve.

NENC Adds 13K Jobs Over last Six Years 

Special to the Albemarle Trade Winds 

T 

he new eleven county Senate District 1 will include 

Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Pasquotank, Dare, 

Hyde, Tyrrell, Washington, Perquimans, Gates and Hertford 

Counties. It will be the largest legislative district in 

the entire North Carolina General Assembly. I am seeking 

that Senate seat after serving the last six years (beginning 

in January 2013) as the representative for NC House 

District 1, comprised of six of those 11 counties. It is an 

honor to serve. 

The economic situation in the northeastern part of 

our state back in January 2013 was grim. The average 

jobless rate was 13.3 percent, from a low of 8.4 percent 

in Gates County to a high of 20.9 percent in Dare. All but 

two northeastern counties had double digit unemployment. 

North Carolina had the 5th highest unemployment 

rate in the country. 

Our state had also taken on Billions of dollars in debt. 

In 2010 we had the highest taxes in the southeast, and 

teachers were being furloughed. It was not a pretty picture. 

Years of irresponsible spending and borrowing with 

little effort being made to set anything aside for a rainy 

day left North Carolina extremely vulnerable in a myriad 

of different ways. 

Voters decided it was time for a change and elected 

Republican majorities for the first time in over 100 years. 

Republicans, including myself, employed a different 

governing philosophy which included tax and regulatory 

reform allowing taxpayers to keep more of their own money 

while encouraging businesses to expand. 

Our economy is booming and NENC is beginning to 

see its fair share of growth too. Unemployment as of 

July 2018 has been cut by more than half here with a 

low of 3.5 percent in Currituck and Dare to a high of 5.8 

percent in Hyde and Tyrrell counties. Over the last six 

years 12,976 new jobs have been created throughout 

the region. Every county experienced job growth but two. 

Those counties have reduced unemployment but have 

lost population.

By Representative Bob Steinburg 

The Triangle Tire Company has committed to our region 

in Edgecombe County creating 850 good paying manufacturing 

jobs with benefits over the next five years. 

Companies doing business with Triangle will also likely be 

relocating to our region bringing more jobs and opportunities 

to our citizens. 

Voters in the next election are facing a choice in November 

(early voting begins October 17) as they choose who 

will represent them for the next two years. They will have 

to decide if they want to return to those days of high taxes, 

high unemployment, a staggering spend and borrow 

philosophy which led to the 5th highest unemployment 

rate and sixth worst place to do business in the country, 

or continue on the path we have been following over the 

last six years which has led us to be among the leaders in 

almost every economic category in the nation. 

Our economy is growing thanks to our pro-jobs reform 

of state government. Instead of furloughing teachers 

as Governor Perdue and the Democrats did, we have 

given them five straight pay raises – totaling 25 percent 

– increasing spending on school safety and high-speed 

broadband while continuing to cut income taxes and 

corporate taxes. 

In a candidate forum last week in Dare County my Democrat 

opponent was asked what in his view is the greatest 

challenge facing the legislature over the next two years? 

He answered, “ to find a way and the money to help those 

tens of thousands of North Carolinians impacted by Hurricane 

Florence who had no insurance.” I told him, and 

the audience assembled that because of our strong and 

growing economy over the last six years and the fiscal 

discipline we have operated under that we had over $2 

Billion in a Rainy-Day Fund to help meet those needs. If it 

were 2010 again we’d be in a heap of trouble. 

For those who think their vote doesn’t matter, think 

again. Your vote will determine if our great state and 

region keeps moving forward, or if we will return to the 

gloom and doom and economic misery of the past. Its 

now up to you. Voting matters! 

Cashie River Treehouses offer an amazing 

getaway featuring a walkway that leads into 

the treehouses. They are alongside the Cashie 

River where you can enjoy the awesome view

and are 16x16 with some electricity. Inside of 

the treehouse is a queen size platform bed and 

a sleeping loft. Outside of the treehouse there 

is a sitting area, picnic table, charcoal grill, fire 

pit, and restrooms are close by. They have 

treehouses that sleep 10 and 12 people. The

even go hiking along the trails. Call and make

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

ATTN: MILLENNIALS--(Generation Y), Generation X, Generation Z-- An Apology to you!! 

have been doing these insurance articles for two years now, 

I always trying to give the best insurance information and money 

matter information that I could. I never tried to target one particular 

age bracket or demographic, but it has come to my attention recently 

that my rhetoric and phrasing of my content may not be reaching everyone 

in the same way. I guess ,because of my age ,I have slanted 

my articles more toward folks nearing or at retirement age, but never 

meaning to.. I have been told by many of you younger folks that you 

want content also aimed at you and your upbringing and schooling.. 

So, here is my apology to you guys and gals for not being sensitive 

to your way of learning about these matters. Again, my generation 

learned these money concepts from our parents, from schooling 

and from agents like myself who always educated their clients in the 

different forms of insurance.. 

But, Now I realize that YOUR form of learning is not from the old 

ways, but from the new ways.. You folks are born into the internet 

age, smart phone and t.v. ads that make insurance really look 

unimportant, just something we need, not really understanding its 

overall importance in your financial scheme of things.. You are being 

told CHEAPER IS BETTER, your roll models are a waitress, a small 

rodent, a cartoon general and an internet site to get the cheapest 

Life Insurance without being told of all the options out their to choose 

from different types, not just TERM!! So, from now on, my articles 

will cover my topics aimed at ALL AGES of readers..If any of you

or call me at 252 335 5983 or 252 202 5983.. 

It is NOT YOUR FAULT the school systems do not not teach basic 

insurance concepts through middle school and high school.. In the 

lower grades you are taught how to count money, but not taught how 

to use it, how to save it or spend it or budget it.. It is a hard lesson 

to learn as you grow up with no one to really teach you about the 

proper way to use money smartly.. Money is not the root of all evil.. 

GREED over using it is..Talk to your grandparents and see if they 

have done well, how did they do it!! Ask them, they might be able 

to point you in the right direction, NOT A WAITRESS, A RODENT, 

A CARTOON GENERAL or some radio or T.V. shows.. Until next 

month -- HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU-- THOUGHT of the month- this 

quote comes from BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, one of our founding fathers 

and signers of the U.S. CONSTITUTION. in 1769!! Yes before 

the signing.. His take on Life Insurance importance “A policy of life 

assurance is the cheapest and safest mode of making certain provision 

for one’s family . It is time our people understood and practiced 

more generally life assurance. Many a widow and orphan have great 

reason to be thankful that the advantage of life assurance was understood 

and embraced by the husband and father. A large amount 

has been paid.. to widows and orphans when it formed almost their 

only recourse” 

Professionalism by Jim Bray 

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 confident, 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 field 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. 

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 defines a real professional. 

The level of leadership a person is capable of is often reflected 

in their professionalism. As the Sheriff of Perquimans County, 

I want to be that strong leader that exemplifies 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.

Dear Dr. Crime: I am a parent of a pre-teen and hear 

she was vaping. What is that? Is it good or bad? Single

Dear Parent: It is like smoking with a pipe, but not like 

Grandpa did with tobacco. Some of the vaping now 

uses marijuana. Science News reported that about 1 in 

11 kids have smoked pot that way. Looking just at high 

school kids, 1 in 3 have done that. Is it bad? Heck yes!! 

I hope you can get her to stop. This is a serious matter.

Dear Dr. Crime: I am a computer technician and have 

concerns about what I see developing with Artificial Intelligence 

(AI). If the robots get smarter than humans, will 

they become crooks? Almost Einstein 

Dear Albert: Your question is of concern to all of us. In 

fact the “headline” in the March issue of Scientific American 

is “SELF-TAUGHT ROBOTS – artificially intelligent 

machines are starting to learn spontaneously”. They 

even teach themselves social behaviors. The April issue 

of Smithsonian has a report entitled “Be(a)ware” that discussed 

your concerns and asked if we will have a world 

dominated by super smart robots. To top off the current 

news that reflect your concern, Fox News is reporting 

“the first “robot sex brothel” in the United States reportedly 

slated to open in the Houston, Texas area this month, 

which allows customers to purchase and rent life-sized 

dolls “warm and ready to play,” (http://www.foxnews.com/ 

tech/2018/09/25/countrys-first-robot-sex-brothel-set-toopen-in-texas-prompts-backlash-report.html). 

All of us, 

not just the computer experts, must stay aware of this 

issue and develop relevant social policy. 

Dear Dr. Crime: I sure am glad you are there, for I don’t 

want to ask this question of my kid’s teachers and look 

stupid. I am worried about the amount of time they 

(twins) spend on their cell phones. I hear they cause 

brain cancer and hurt the brain in other ways. Is that 

true? If I take the phones away we will have a genuine 

fuss. Dad who learned on a manual typewriter 

Dear classmate: I came along before the new stuff just 

like you did, probably at the same time. My professor 

in graduate school promised to help me with typing my 

dissertation, by giving me top of the line technology. He 

gave me a bottle of WhiteOut. But your question is important. 

I will not attempt to answer the medical question 

but I will try to get an answer for you later if you will call 

me. I can tell you there is much speculation about the 

impact the cell phones have on the social environment 

of teen agers. This is important enough that Scientific 

American put out a special report about “smartphones 

and teen brains” (see Vol 318, #2, February 2018). The 

report says we need more research on the topic, and 

that multiple variables are likely influencing teens. For 

example, they report the current crop of kids show higher 

depression levels than in the past. 

Dear Dr. Crime: I think you are avoiding the worst crime 

of all time, the betrayal of Christians by our religious leaders. 

Is it possible it is not true? What should we do as 

deceived Christians? Everyday Christian 

Dear Brother: I guess I have to face what I see so often 

in the news about our hypocritical pastors and priests 

and the sad, viciously harmed children. The Daily Advancei 

reports another report showing 3,677 children in Germany 

are sex abuse victims by their Priests. Half of those 

victims were less than 13 years old and 1/3 were altar 

boys. I suspect you know of the report on the Catholic 

Church in Pennsylvania. In 2003, researchers at John 

Jay College conducted a study on child sexual abuse 

by Catholic priests. That research included information 

from 97% of Catholic dioceses (see Understanding the 

Sexual Abuse Crisis in the Catholic Church: Challenges 

with Prevention Policies: https://www.researchgate.net/ 

publication/247523934 ) . The research identified 4,392 

priests as sexual abusers from 1950-2002. The research 

provided analysis and data in exceptional detail. As 

there are approximately 40,580 Catholic priests serving 

in the United States of America, so awful as the number 

of abuser is, it leaves the vast majority of priest as decent 

men. It is our position that those decent priests, as well 

as the abused children and family members, should be 

prayed for and helped where possible. More research is 

needed to understand this and to propose comprehensive 

social policy and law. 


Chowanoke History 

by Duvonya Chavis 

Historically, American Indian tribal leaders utilized 

customs and traditions to guide the decision making 

processes in governing their tribal members. In today’s 

modern society, many tribes still incorporate ancient 

customs while rendering decisions in their tribal courts. 

However, ancient custom is a vague recollection for most 

Indian tribes and one that is often necessarily delegated 

to culture keepers or the tribe’s elders to revive or retain. 

Retaining custom is important in assuring tribal cultural 

uniqueness as it is widely recognized that imposing 

non-Indian culture has had adverse effects on Indians 

across the United States. 

American Indians hold contrasting world views, which 

rationalizes against trying to superimpose in tribal courts 

the views of Anglo courts who utilize an adversarial system 

that have resulted in adverse social outcomes for Native 

citizens and for using custom and tradition which engages 

in and embraces a restorative and harmonious approach 

to resolving disputes and conflict. These values were historically 

incorporated in Native tradition and were reflected 

in their Peacemaker’s Court. Today, tribal courts who 

incorporate a Peacemaker’s court in their legal system 

acknowledge positive results and experience far less recidivism 

than Anglo courts who do not. Tribes have known 

since ancient times that utilizing this approach results in 

responsibility, restitution, and ultimately restoration for all 

parties involved. 

Duvonya, a Chowanoke Indian 

descendant, is President 

of Roanoke-Chowan Native 

American Association, a 

non-profit organization whose 

mission is to help American 

Indians in Northeastern NC 

and Southeastern VA. She 

currently sits on the council 

of the Chowanoke Tribe. 

In partnership with another 

Chowanoke descendant, 

she is currently developing 

Chowanoke Reservation for 

tribal descendants to gather 

and hold cultural events.

Boating on the Albemarle 

by Claude Milot 

In last month’s edition of Albemarle Tradewinds, Colleen Brown wrote an 

informative column describing all the places one can fish in Perquimans 

County. Rivers, creeks, and Albemarle Sound itself are indeed a paradise for 

fishermen of all kinds. But the waters in the area also provide an abundant 

source of pleasure of another kind: boating. 

The development three years ago of albemarleloop.com as a promotional 

vehicle for public and commercial marinas along the Albemarle Sound is 

paying dividends, as boaters on their spring and fall migrations have begun 

to explore these waters in greater numbers. 

One of the beneficiaries of the growing curiosity of “loopers” is Hertford’s 

Albemarle Plantation marina, which has already more than doubled last 

year’s number of visitors. The marina, with its 166 slips, is one of the largest 

public marinas on the East Coast, one of the few that can accommodate 

large groups of visitors, as it did last June when 20 sailboats from the Neuse 

Sailing Association tied up at the marina. These sailors spent two days enjoying 

the amenities of Albemarle Plantation: the championship golf course, 

the Clubhouse restaurant with its splendid view overlooking the 18th hole 

and the Sound, and especially the pristine pool—on the hottest days of the 

year.

The Albemarle Plantation marina is also home to the Osprey Yacht Club 

(OYC) a very active organization that hosts regattas on the Sound and 

kayaking on the area’s many rivers and creeks, plus an annual fun event, 

the Cardboard Boat Race. In the summer, the OYC has two educational 

programs for kids. The Optimist (OPTI) Youth Learn-to-Sail program teaches 

beginners aged 9 to 13 the basics of sailing, first in a classroom, and then 

with one-on-one instruction on the water. Advanced students who have completed 

the basic course are taught the rigging and launching of sailboats and 

the elements of racing, perhaps to be seen one day competing in a regatta 

on the Sound. 

Fishing is fun. So is boating. Why not both?

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 

fishing, 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 

five 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.

Orthodox Christianity 

Kindness is Meant to Be 

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” 

That is the moral of one of Aesop’s Fables, “The Lion and 

the Mouse.” Recall that in the story, a mouse accidentally 

wakes a lion, who threatens to kill the small creature. The 

mouse asks for mercy, and points out that killing such 

unworthy prey would bring the lion no honor. The lion relents 

and sets the mouse free. On his way out, the mouse 

promises that one day he will return the favor — the lion 

laughs in scorn at such a prospect. 

Later, the lion is netted by hunters. When the mouse 

hears the lion roar in frustration, he gnaws through the 

net and sets the lion free — fulfilling his earlier promise. 

by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd 

Be generous with your kindness, “freely give” your courtesy 

and your love. In the ancient wisdom of the Orthodox 

Church, there is a joyful certainty that God created 

humanity for love, beauty and peace. Violence, anger and 

hatred are unnatural realities that should be gotten rid of 

as soon as possible. 

“Carry out a random act of kindness,” the late Princess 

Diana once said, “with no expectation of reward, safe in 

the knowledge that one day someone might do the same 

for you.”

So it is true: kindness is never wasted, never meaningless. 

Somehow, mercy returns to the giver. 

St Basil the Great — a fourth century bishop in present-day 

Turkey — wrote that “A tree is known by its fruit; 

a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost: he who 

sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness 

gathers love.”

Edenton Civil Rights Leader Partnered with MLK, Led Impacttful Protests 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 






I 

f you pass a brick building on Peterson St., you 

may not realize you are viewing the home of an 

impact player in the civil rights movement, whose leadership 

and influence earned Dr. Martin Luther King’s 

attention. 

Golden Frinks, known as “The Great Agitator,” was 

jailed 87 times leading protests throughout coastal 

Carolina. A World War II veteran, truck driver, and 

small businessman, he didn’t go to college or devote 

his work to efforts in major cities. 

The protests he led within the Edenton Movement 

were completely unique. They occurred in relatively 

isolated areas among poor, less educated citizens 

as opposed to educated, middle-class students and 

professionals. 

Frinks and citizens he mobilized successfully desegregated 

public facilities like lunch counters, restaurants, 

and shops in town, as well as John A. Holmes High 

School and Hyde County Schools. 

According to North Carolina historian David Cecelski, 

his “small-town upbringing had shaped an outlook 

more in touch with rural blacks than many of the Southern 

Christian Leadership Conference leaders, who 

came predominantly from the largest Southern cities.” 

Although his territory was different from that of other 

civil rights organizers, his work still wasn’t easy. The 

efforts of the Edenton Movement gained little national 

media attention, and Frinks was strongly criticized for 

challenging the status quo in a charming small town. 

Other business leaders were reluctant to work with 

Frinks because they thought addressing unfair racial 

dynamics of the time would shrink their reputation 

within the public eye. 

However, Frinks continued sharing his vision. He collaborated 

with Rev. Fred LaGarde of Providence Missionary 

Baptist Church (214 W Church St.) in Edenton. 

Together, LaGarde and Frinks brought Martin Luther 

King to the Armory, where he addressed a crowd of 

500 people. Today, there is a plaque at this location 

commemorating his visit. 

Frinks continued living in Edenton until his death in

Entrepreneur Brings Soul Food Restaurant to Downtown Hertford 

by Laura Bush Jenkins 

Since its relocation to downtown Hertford this July, ‘Bout 

Thyme Kitchen has created a buzz serving popular favorites 

like fish, hamburger steak, wings, and stir fry. 

Formerly located in the Old Train Station building on Hughes 

Boulevard in Elizabeth City, entrepreneur Alvan Overton moved 

the restaurant to a simplified location that “was a turn-key 

restaurant, ready to go.” 

At a Glance 

109 N Church St, Hertford. 

Open for lunch, M-F and Sunday 

Daily Specials include: Taco Tuesdays, 

Wednesday wings, and Thursday Stir Frys. 

‘Bout Thyme Kitchen, serves lunch Monday through Friday and 

Sunday from 11-4. 11:30-1:30 is naturally the busiest time, but 

Overton noted there is rarely a wait since many diners call in 

their order for pick up. 

Catering & Private Party Space Available. 

Overton looks forward to interacting with the townspeople who 

make Hertford a friendly, welcoming place. 

“I want to see the community thrive,” he said, praising Hertford 

for its quaint atmosphere and loyal people. 

This fall, Alvan and his team will tweak the menu and bring in 

more popular favorites such as chef and cobb salads, along 

with soup and sliders. The group will incorporate Thursday and 

Friday night dinners as the restaurant grows.

HOLLY DAYS 

FESTIVAL OF GIFTS 

Holly Days Festival of Gifts began in 

1985 as a craft show that was held 

each year at the Camden County High 

School and was hosted by the Camden 

Jr. Woman’s Club. The show at that time 

hosted approximately 35 exhibitors of 

homemade crafts and simple concessions 

of hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. provided by 

the club. 

Santa on Sunday from 12-3 

Selfies available for a donation to the club 

Over the years Holly Days has moved 

to the Camden Intermediate School and 

grown to over 70 booths that include direct 

sales along with the crafts. Scentsy, Tupperware, 

Norwex, Lularoe, Pampered Chef, 

and custom monogramming are just some 

of the direct sale additions. The Camden 

Jr. Woman’s Club also “grew up” to become 

the Camden Woman’s Club, Inc. 

Ebenezer Baptist Church from South 

Mills has been providing the concessions 

for Holly Days for several years. Fried 

chicken, chicken pot pie, Brunswick stew, 

turkey and dressing, homemade soups and 

desserts are on the menu. Some visitors 

come to Holly Days just for the delicious 

foods available. 

Swimme & Son is the event sponsor for 

this year’s show. “Selfies with Santa” will be 

offered in their booth on Sunday from 12-3. 

Kids and “Kids at heart” will be able to talk 

to Santa and take a selfie with him for a 

donation to the club. 

This is the largest annual fundraiser for 

the club. Proceeds provide scholarships 

for high school seniors, school grants, and 

contributions to other local, state, national 

and international charities including Albemarle 

Hopeline, Operation Smile and the 

Ronald McDonald House. 

This year’s Holly Days Festival of Gifts will 

be held on November 3rd from 10 am – 5 

pm and Sunday November 4th from 11 

am – 4 pm. Admission is $4.00 for Adults 

($3.00 with a canned food donation), $2.00 

for Seniors & Students. Children under 5 

are free.

Death Of Innocence: 

Are you Really Innocent Until Proven Guilty? What are Your Rights? 

Amidst two Supreme Court nominations and hype about citizen mistreatment 

of cops, here’s a quick refresher on what the Constitution says. This applies 

to your local county, and we’ve asked upcoming Perquimans County Sheriff 

candidates about where your rights lie and their authorities coincide: 

Fourth Amendment- Probable cause required for search and seizure. 

Fifth Amendment- Prohibits self-incrimination. 

Sixth Amendment- You have a right to a fair and speedy public trial by jury. 

You can confront your accusers, call witnesses, and have counsel from an 

attorney. 

Eighth Amendment- Prohibits excessive fines, cruel and unusual punishment. 

From the Attorney 

Albemarle Tradewinds columnist and criminal defense lawyer Joe 

Forbes shares insights so you can better understand the justice 

system: 

What are the qualifications to 

hold the office of Sheriff? 

It’s simple. An aspiring sheriff must be a county resident 

over 21. He or she also cannot practice law or serve as a 

General Assembly member concurrently with this office. 

How was an Interim Sheriff appointed before this upcoming 

election? According to Article 1-Chapter 162 of 

NC General Statutes, the board of commissioners “shall 

elect a sheriff to supply the vacancy for the residue of the 

term.” There is no special election. 

Is it true the executive committee of the political party of 

the previous Sheriff gets to decide a replacement? Not 

necessarily. Article 1-Chapter 162 states certain counties 

such as Beaufort, Edgecombe, Gaston, and Mecklenburg 

elect a Sheriff based on the recommendation of the 

party’s county executive committee. But this isn’t spelled 

out as a requirement for Perquimans. 

There is no legal guideline stating whether Perquimans 

County Commissioners must initiate a formal hiring 

process or simply appoint someone from their familiar 

political sphere to replace a Sheriff vacancy. 

“The police aren’t necessarily bound by ethics like an attorney or 

member of the clergy,” Forbes says. In cases with multiple suspects, 

aggressive questioning happens a lot. Police can make up 

a story that someone else you know confessed, and it’s perfectly 

legal. 

“It’s tough to overcome any policeman not telling the truth,” he 

mentioned. “Law enforcement are taught to use command force.” 

“A lot of law enforcement want to present a macho image of ‘take 

no prisoners.’ The public would consider it unethical but [...] anything 

is legal except torture.” 

Forbes mentions people plead guilty all of the time. It’s not because 

they committed a crime. It’s often to avoid prolonging the 

legal process in criminal and civil arenas. 

In North Carolina, misdemeanor cases are heard by a District 

Court judge on one day only-Wednesday. In Superior Court, 

where a trial could be appealed, the case load could hypothetically 

be 33 cases. There’s no way all 33 could be heard in a week when 

it often takes half a day just to pick an unbiased jury. 

The lengthy trial process could involve extended time away from 

work or accruing child care expenses. There is no guarantee of 

when a case is going to be heard, and it’s often trail by ordeal. 

“If you’ve had anything to do with [an incident,] you don’t want to 

talk [to the police,]” says Forbes. Get a lawyer. He can stop the 

trail of questioning and talk to police about your right to remain 

silent. 

Use your cell phone to record what’s happening. North Carolina 

is a one-party consent state when it comes to recording conversations. 

If you suspect anything is going wrong, set your phone 

to video and make sure the audio is working. A $40 camcorder 

installed in the front of your car or a device on the side could serve 

as your insurance policy. 

Considering the state-mandated qualifications for an NC Sheriff, and how the office is a 

Constitutional position-- Should the Perquimans County Board of Commissioners have 

Interviewed all applicants before filling the most recent vacancy? If only one candidate received 

an interview, did the process follow the civil rights act of 1964 as amended in 1972 to include 

Equal Employment Opportunity? 

You decide in November. 6 2018 

Early voting begins- October 17, 2018 


Meet Perquimans County Sheriff Candidates By Laura Bush Jenkins 

Continued on Page 22 

Since early voting starts October 17th, we prepared 

questions to inform readers about a local sheriff’s race 

and candidates’ understanding of the Bill of Rights and law 

enforcement standards. 

1) The Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable search 

and seizure and requires probable cause. As Sheriff, how 

would you advise deputies when it comes to traffic stops, 

DUI, and DWI? 

Jim Bray: “I prefer to use more probable cause than an odor, 

unless it’s very strong. The officer must consider the totality 

of the circumstances. 

While traffic checkpoints catch drunk drivers and drug users, 

there still must be probable cause to search a vehicle. 

Stopping a car without a reason is going too far. A lot of 

people don’t realize they have to consent to a search, even 

if they are pulled over by police for an infraction. The exception 

is if there is drug paraphernalia in plain view or a driver 

is intoxicated.” 

Shelby White: “ You do have to have an odor to search the 

car for drugs. For alcohol, that’s a different situation because 

you need to delegate it to Highway Patrol. 

We have to look into any tip and can do it with a knock and 

talk. We might want to do surveillance, a pop-by, or send an 

undercover vehicle to check on activity. We keep working 

the case to get a search warrant. 

Even if it’s a weekend, we can get a search warrant by a 

magistrate. I prefer getting one from a superior court judge 

so they will more readily accept the case if taken to a federal 

level.” 

2) Do you believe in ‘stop and frisk?’ 

Jim Bray : “’Stop and frisk’ can be used for officer safety in 

a DWI.” 

Shelby White: “[From the perspective of a cop on foot patrol] 

I have to have a reason to stop you. Heavy duty profiling 

doesn’t exist in this area. I do believe in stop and frisk’ for 

officer safety.” 

3) What are your standards for obtaining a confession? If 

you are familiar with the REID technique which allows false 

evidence to legally be presented to elicit a confession, will 

you use this, or will you hold yourself and your deputies to a 

higher standard? 

Jim Bray: “ I am familiar with the REID technique. I don’t believe 

in lying and deceiving people. I believe in being honest 

and those in my command will be straightforward. 

I do believe time-sensitive situations may require an interrogator 

to push it to the limits- such as a child abduction or 

missing person. I don’t know if law enforcement in this area 

have ever used extremely aggressive tactics the way one 

might see in a large area.” 

Shelby White: “ I am not familiar with the REID technique 

but realize this is legal. I stay within what is legal and do 

not go beyond this. We don’t want to lead someone to a 

false statement but work towards the truth. I want evidence 

instead of a false confession.” 

4) How long will you build a case before it goes to a speedy 

public trial? Don’t you think in a small community with word 

of mouth quickly spreading, this impedes a person’s rights if 

the process drags on? 

Jim Bray: “I’ve never seen a speedy public trial. It usually 

has nothing to do with law enforcement, although they may 

wait for the SBI to handle evidence. Usually, defendants and 

their attorneys continue a case. They may even ‘judge shop’ 

for who they believe to be most lenient in cases like DWIs.” 

Shelby White: “ A speedy public trial is impossible. It could 

happen a year from now. 

We have so many people in a jury pool to choose from that it 

wouldn’t be unfair in a small town. Out of 75 applicants, you 

can get 13 who are unbiased.” 

5) A Perquimans County resident whose home was burglarized 

three times in three months expressed concern 

responding officers didn’t appear confident or well-trained. 

How frequently will your officers be trained, and how will 

you re-certify them so they understand proper handling of 

evidence? 

Jim Bray: “ Officers currently do not have formal training on 

the collection of evidence, and if it is, it’s very little. They 

refer a lot of it to state troopers at this time. I’d like to work 

with the Justice Academy in Salemburg, which partners with 

local agencies for free- less room and board costs. 

In Currituck County Sheriff’s Office, certain training is required 

when officers hit the three and six year marks. I feel 

this needs to happen here also. 

In addition, I would implement a physical fitness program 

like the state has for its troopers. This would be a benchmark 

to help them deal with the stress of the job.” 

Shelby White: “During in-processing, I train the officers. 

They label evidence, and it’s computer-based. We’ve never 

had a problem with handling evidence. 

The deputies and investigators go to schools throughout the 

year as their schedule permits, so they know what to look 

for. The training is basically free through the state.” 

6) What will you do to make sure your officers are trained in 

DWI and capable of handling this? 

Jim Bray: “ DWI training is a huge problem. Officers can do 

an intoxilizer and 3-day ARIDE training that focuses more 

on drug impairment. I want to make sure all of my deputies 

have proper knowledge to handle this instead of just a few. 

Shelby White: “All officers are trained at Alkasensor school, 

but only some are trained to use the Breathalyzer. [As previously 

stated,] that’s why it’s passed off to Highway Patrol.” 

7) How will you work with the state and county to stop drug 

and human trafficking? What can you do to make sure 

officers handle this? 

Jim Bray: “ I am not aware of human trafficking in Perquimans 

County, but I’ve heard it is a problem in the western 

part of the state. It seems that there is not an industry in our 

county that would support that. 

I would do surveillance on users and find informants who 

can tell us where the dealers are. I would also bring back the 

drug task force, where people from different counties send 

undercover cops. The drug houses in our area are known, 

but we must catch dealers when their shipment comes in 

and before it goes out.” 

Shelby White: “There is no doubt drug trafficking is here. 

Perquimans County is actually better off at Gates and 

Chowan. All the time, we are getting drugs off the street. 

I’ve arrested more people for drugs in Perquimans County 

than anybody. My record includes over 250 plus drug 

arrests- which led to over 40 federal convictions with 3-28 

year prison sentences. I’ve worked a lot if cases with SBI, 

FBI, and ATF. 

I’ve already started a drug unit. Before that, there was no 

dedicated person strictly working these cases. I have an 

informant base after 18 years of experience. [...] 

Drug stuff is not just based on traffic stops, but involves work 

undercover. Cooperating witnesses and informants may 

have certain conditions they expect. We may appear partial, 

but it’s because we keep working the case until 6, 8, 10 buys 

lead us to the dealer. 

Traffic stops are good, but 98% of the time, they get users. 

We’re targeting dealers. I’ve caught John Aaron Bailey and 

Bubba Lee, but other drug dealers pop up next to take their 

place. It’s an ongoing fight. 

I have not personally seen human trafficking, although I’ve 

talked with [Brew 2 Rescue Cafe] across the street about 

what to look for. 

Perquimans County is honestly better than any county 

around us. EMS [has been issued] a nasal spray for 

overdoses. Only 5 were used in Perquimans before May. 

Pasquotank used 70. 

Drugs don’t just affect one person, but everyone around 

them. There is an Angel Program in Rocky Mount through 

the Albemarle Overdose Prevention Coalition that hasn’t 

started here but I’d like to implement. We tell [an addict]: 

‘Bring your stuff to us turn it all in, and you won’t be 

charged.’ 

We have a mobile crisis unit that can help people that want 

to stop, but logistically getting people to where they can go 

for help is a problem. They need help today and can’t wait 

until tomorrow.” 


Sheriff Candidates Continued......... 

8) As Sheriff, how will you make sure police aren’t abusing 

the badge? 

Jim Bray: “ An accountable chain of command and supervision 

of those who oversee the road will create checks 

and balances. A detailed report must happen. It is something 

required. 

I would also create a standard that all officers would wear 

the same uniform and be clean shaven to project a strong 

professional image.” 

Shelby White: “I’m only as good as the sheriff’s office. 

They are only as good as me. If there is an incident, I’ll 

sit down and talk to the offender and address the issue at 

hand. Perhaps they need more training, or we could move 

them somewhere around their gifting or release them. 

9) As far as hiring practices, what will you look for in an 

applicant? 

Jim Bray: “ I will conduct a background check and go to 

[the applicant’s] high school and former employers to find 

out their character. Small counties are prime ground if 

officers want to move up in their careers later. 

It’s true that the younger officers are expecting higher 

salaries and moving to cities like Raleigh and Charlotte. 

Today money is a component of what the younger generation 

is seeking. 

A recruitment program is the goal, but I must work with 

County Commissioners. If I raise the standard of law 

enforcement in the county, Commissioners may recognize 

this and raise staff pay.” 

Shelby White: “Do they have heart, drive, and humility? I 

don’t want someone who’s arrogant, that’s not someone I 

want. I don’t want someone that’s just running numbers. 

Whenever we look at applications, we conduct background 

checks and talk to people they’ve worked with in 

the past. 

Whenever you got into this type of job, you knew it would 

be stressful. You don’t want someone who’s just collecting 

a paycheck. I ask the applicants why they chose Perquimans. 

Many say: ‘I see how Perquimans works, and there’s 

structure, a family, support.’ 

The problem I have many times with hiring is the pay. I 

couldn’t touch the pay of the last person I attempted to 

hire because his current position paid 5 times more than 

Perquimans. County commissioners control the money 

and there’s only so much I can do.” 

10) Does an applicant have to complete BLET before 

working at the Sheriff’s Office? 

Jim Bray: “A deputy has one year to complete BLET while 

working.” 

Shelby White: “No, they can be hired before completing it 

within the first year.” 

11) How hard is it for you to make a decision to fire someone 

if there is a complaint? In particular, residents who 

connected with our staff mentioned an incident where two 

employees in the Animal Control department were having 

inappropriate sexual relations on the job. Only one staff 

member was fired and the other kept the position. 

Jim Bray: “A Sheriff doesn’t have to have a reason to fire 

someone. The animal control works under the sheriff in 

this county, so I would have the ability to fire them. 

When a new Sheriff takes office and gets sworn in December 

1st, people working as deputies are also sworn in. If 

the sheriff does not want to have them under employment, 

he simply doesn’t swear them in.” 

Shelby White: “A Sheriff can choose to release someone, 

but you have to document. [In the incident you mentioned,] 

it happened under Sheriff Tilley. There was a public 

misconception. The person who left wanted to resign 

and the other person was suspended. No crime occurred 

on the job, so he was able to keep his position.” 

12) Why should we elect you as Sheriff? 

Jim Bray: “ I’m a strong leader who will restore professionalism 

into local law enforcement. I’m not afraid of making 

critical decisions and I like to make them. 

I’m not afraid to arrest people, even if it’s the County Commissioners 

and it is required by the law. 

I’m retired and don’t have to do this. I am because I believe 

in making a difference. I’m an outsider from Chowan 

County and don’t owe anyone special favors.” 

Shelby White: “I love Perquimans County and have lived 

here my whole life. I’ve dedicated my whole career since 

age 20 to working in Perquimans County Sheriff’s office. 

I put myself through BLET at age 21 because I wanted to 

do it. I want to give back to the community and continue 

to put the ‘serve’ back in ‘serve and protect.’ 

Drug use is 80% less likely among young people if they 

have positive relationships. Every Tuesday, the HOPE 

program I support brings law enforcement officers to the 

schools, building relationships. 

The Sheriff’s Office grew their turnout this year for a 

program at Camp Cale reaching 12 middle school and 20 

Hertford Grammar School students selected by counselors 

and teachers. We play games and interact with the kids, 

talking about the future they have. Mothers have called 

my office thanking me for the encouragement we’ve provided 

in being a role model and father figure to children.”

“No Credit Check” or Buy Now 

The Secret Fruit 

If I am going to share this secret with you, caution dictates 

that you lean in a bit so as not to be overheard by others. 

Here is the reveal. The largest fruit native to, and found 

in, mid-Atlantic North America is borne on the pawpaw tree 

(Asimina triloba). The pawpaw fruit looks similar to a mango 

and the taste likens a cross between a mango and a banana, 

but the fruit is really a berry. It is the only temperate member 

of a tropical-like fruit. 

The Native Americans were able to enjoy this fruit only when 

in season because the pawpaw fruit does not store well. The 

pawpaw season begins around September and sadly generally 

ends just before the end of October. It is at its peak and begins 

its decline within a very short window of a few days. The 

fruits do not ripen very well off the tree, so optimum ripeness 

occurs just before they detach and fall to the ground. Some 

consumers prefer a “past its prime” ripeness as it accentuates 

the flavor and mellows the texture. The nutritional content of 

the pawpaw is similar to that of apples, bananas, and pears. 

Other than enjoyed in the moment when fresh, the pawpaw 

lends itself to recipes as a banana substitute and is popular 

in breads, pies, custards, and puddings. The fruit is quite 

versatile and is a real varietal addition to the more mainstream 

fruits. However, because it is such a treat, I do ask that you 

keep this information just between us.

of Charleston, West Virginia” 

Pawpaw Pie or Parfait 

1/2 c. brown sugar 

1 envelope unflavored gelatin 

1/2 tsp. salt 

2/3 c. milk 

3 eggs, separated 

1 c. strained pawpaw pulp 

1/4 c. sugar 

In a saucepan, mix together brown sugar, gelatin, 

and salt. Stir in milk and slightly beaten egg 

yolks. Heat and stir until mixture comes to a boil. 

Remove from fire and stir in pawpaw pulp. Chill 

until it mounds slightly when spooned (20 to 30 

minutes in refrigerator). Shortly before the mixture 

is sufficiently set, beat egg whites until they form 

soft peaks; then gradually add sugar, beating 

until stiff peaks form. Fold the partly set pawpaw 

mixture thoroughly into egg whites. Pour into a 

9-inch graham cracker crust or into parfait glasses 

and chill until firm. “Then lock the door to keep the 

neighbors out.”

Prohibition ended in 1933, but between those years the 

demand for alcohol had not decreased and illegal liquor 

became very profitable. In commemoration of this anniversary, 

we have pulled from sources statements reflecting 

moonshining across the region. The quotes are taken 

from North Carolina Moonshine: An Illicit History by Frank 

Stephenson Jr. and Barbara N. Mulder. 

A bootlegger in Northampton County tells of a visit from 

a revenue officer, “One night when they raided my still I 

turned the tables on them by chaining one of their cars to 

a tree where the car was backed up to. When they finally 

left, they tore the rear bumper off the car which made them 

mad as a bunch of hornets as I can hear them cursing and 

carrying on about it now.”

A Gates County bootlegger describes his moonshine still 

being continuously raided. “The law they’d bust my mess 

up a lot of times but it won’t long before I had another one 

put up. Sometimes I put it right back in the same spot of 

the one they tore up. They chased up all over Buckland but 

I managed to stay a step or two ahead of them.” 

“The day they caught me it was pouring down rain, and 

I wasn’t paying attention like I should’ve and did not hear 

them until they were on top of me and one of them stuck a 

gun up my nose,” reflects a retired Hertford County moonshiner. 

Be sure and visit MOA during the month of October to 

see components of a moonshine still displayed in our main 

gallery.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures 

Fall on the Outer Banks is a great time to visit, and it is also the 

annual fall run of the Red Drum. Every fall, fishermen from up and 

down the East Coast make the trip to the Outer Banks to try their luck at 

catching and releasing this majestic fish. I caught my first Red Drum on 

the Avalon FIshing Pier when I was 11 and from that moment on, I was 

hooked on the pursuit of catching a fish that I knew I had to release. 

That is right, once a Red Drum grows over 27 inches you must release 

them back to the ocean. I take a lot of ribbing from people for investing 

time and money in a fish I cannot even keep!! 

by Jake Worthington 

Anyone who has ever been to The Point at Buxton, or seen Drum fishermen 

lined up on a fishing pier has witnessed a spectacle that looks 

like organized chaos. This all starts from the first cast until you land the 

fish. Because the amount of space is minimal whether on the end of 

a pier or at The Point, you are literally elbow to elbow with other drum 

fishermen. This choreography of Drum fishermen casting and then other 

fishermen lifting and lowering rods so that no one gets tangled is a 

true work of art. When someone gets lucky and hooks a Drum the same 

amount of dedicated effort is given to ensure the angler is successful in 

landing their fish, with anglers moving their rods in the same manner so 

the angler can either beach or pier net the catch. Once the fish is landed, 

it is unhooked, a quick measurement is taken of the fish and maybe 

a quick picture, and then the Drum is released back into their ocean 

home ready to be caught again by some other lucky angler. Catching 

a Red Drum may be luck to some fishermen but an experienced Drum 

fisherman will use every advantage, bit of knowledge, experience , and 

research to improve his catch total for the day. 

Being new to the sport of fishing is a learning experience enough, but 

after watching these fishermen in action can be also intimidating. However, 

don’t let that stop you from joining in. If you want to try to become 

a successful Drum fisherman just show up, watch, ask questions and 

learn how and why the process works. One bit of advice I will give you if 

you want to try this-- do not use braided line of any kind on a Red Drum 

rig. Doing so will very likely cost someone a fish when it cuts off another 

angler’s line or when you tangle several people up. If you want to join 

in the fun, go to a local Dare County tackle shop and have them sell 

you what you will need. One parting bit of advice-- do not use a sand 

spike on The Point!!

You probably know someone who has Alzheimer’s 

disease. Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that 

causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. 

Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse 

over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with 

daily tasks. It is estimated that one in ten people 65 

and older has Alzheimer’s dementia. If you are ever 

asked to be a caregiver or to assist a caregiver, you are 

going to need some basic legal information to make 

your caregiving effective. This article will discuss some 

legal considerations for the Alzheimer’s patient and her 

family. 

November has been designated as National Alzheimer’s 

Month. There will be a statewide vigil in November, 

to recognize the caregivers – many times the 

hidden victims. 

Alzheimer’s is one of the most common forms of 

dementia. Dementia is used to describe a progressive, 

degenerative mental disease. The deterioration usually 

includes loss of memory and related functions, eventually 

leaving the patient unable to care for herself. The 

Alzheimer’s patient usually experiences a gradual onset 

of symptoms. Early warning signs may be: confusion, 

personality changes, behavior changes, and impaired 

judgment. 

If you think a family member or friend may be suffering 

from Alzheimer’s disease – GET A DIAGNOSIS. We 

all forget things and many times nutritional deficiencies 

and depression may cause Alzheimer’s like symptoms. 

Once you have a diagnosis, the next step is to GET 

ADVICE. An Alzheimer’s patient’s mental capacity will 

gradually deteriorate. Eventually the patient will be 

unable to care for herself. It is important to seek advice 

early, when the patient can participate in the important 

decision-making process. Families will need to address 

financial concerns and legal concerns. 

1. Financial Concerns. The family should review 

the assets and income of the patient; seek investment 

advice considering the future costs and expenses 

associated with the illness; and, discuss management 

of assets during the patient’s lifetime. It is extremely 

important to include the Alzheimer’s patient in these important 

decisions and to begin these discussions when 

the patient is still competent. 

2. Legal Concerns. There are some basic legal documents 

that an Alzheimer’s patient should discuss and 

execute when she is competent. If the family waits too 

long before discussing legal planning, many opportunities 

will be lost. 

A. Durable Power of Attorney. 

B. Health Care Power of Attorney. 

C. Will. 

D. Revocable Living Trust. 

As an Alzheimer’s patient, caregiver, or family member, 

you will suffer from feelings of depression and 

isolation. It is extremely important to GET HELP. There 

are many resources available to you – The national 

and state Alzheimer’s Associations, local Alzheimer’s 

support groups and books are some of the wonderful 

resources. Most importantly, don’t neglect yourself. 

The information contained in this column is of a general 

nature and does not constitute legal advice.

VOLUNTEER WEEKEND AT THE FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM 

by: Joyce Bornfriend 

If you’ve ever wondered how a fishing weir 

works or what a “3 Sisters Garden” looks like 

or how a reed flute is made, join the Volunteer 

Weekend at the Frisco Native American 

Museum on November 3 & 4, 2018. Sessions 

will begin each day at 9:00 am and continue 

through the afternoon with a variety of activities. 

“The volunteer weekend is special for museum 

staff because it gives us a chance to spend time 

with the wonderful people who help keep the 

museum growing. Of course, we always have 

lots to do,” said Carl Bornfriend, Executive 

Director for the museum. “From pruning vines 

on the nature trail, clearing debris, or painting 

an outdoor exhibit, there will be something for 

everyone’s interest and skill level.” 

Most of the work will be preparation for the 

spring Discovery Days concert planned for 

April 27 & 28, 2019. Native Journey: Music & 

Dance will offer a two-day interactive adventure 

into the beauty of Native American music. 

Participants will not only have an opportunity to 

learn how drums are made but will also have a 

chance to beat the drum and feel the power of 

the music when they join friendship dances held 

throughout the day. Some sessions will feature 

Native American artists demonstrating intricate 

dance steps while others will “rattle” visitors 

with instruments that illustrate how music can 

be coaxed from the natural world. It will be a 

weekend of fun and adventure for the entire 

family. 

The museum, which is located on 

Hatteras Island, is open Tuesday 

through Sunday. For more information,

The Pear Necessities 

Fall fruits are coming into season now and there’s 

nothing better than buttery pears –slightly floral 

with subtle citrus notes, delicate on your tongue, and 

overflowing with sweet juiciness. 

Today I’m making a lush dessert for you – poached 

pears, redolent with the flavors of fall, encased in a 

cocoon of phyllo dough. You get a soft pear slush, 

the crackle of phyllo, and a creamy, nutty center, all 

napped in spicy, syrupy goodness. It’s unpearalleled! 

It's not just another wave, 

it's an experience.

Poached Pears Wrapped In Phyllo 

Pears (Bartlett was my pear of choice.) 

Package of frozen phyllo dough, thawed 

Lemon, peel and juice 

1 TB cinnamon 

1 TB vanilla 

¼ cup honey 

1 TB whole peppercorns 

1 tsp whole cloves 

1 cup sugar 

To poach pears: 

For the phyllo: 

Let phyllo sheets thaw, then cut into ½-inch wide strips. 

Melt ½ stick unsalted butter. Working with about 2 phyllo 

strips at a time, brush with melted butter and begin wrapping, 

starting at bottom of pear to enclose filling. Keep 

brushing and wrapping until entire pear is enclosed with 

phyllo strips, maybe 6-8 strips thick. 

Place pears on baking sheet and bake in a 400° oven for 

about 40 minutes, rotating halfway through, until phyllo is 

a lovely golden and crackly brown. Cover tops with foil if 

necessary. 

To serve, spoon some of the reduced sauce over pears. 

Core pears from the bottom, leaving stems 

intact, then peel. Place in medium saucepan 

and cover with water and juice of one lemon. 

Add lemon peel and rest of ingredients. Bring 

mixture to boil. Reduce to simmer and cook 

pears 10-15 minutes. Remove pears and 

continue cooking liquid over low heat at a bare 

simmer until liquid is reduced by half. 

Pear Sauce 

3 pears, peeled and coarsely chopped 

1 tsp lemon juice 

2 TB corn syrup 

Pinch salt 

1 TB reduced pear syrup 

For the filling: 

(Enough for 3 pears.) 

¼ cup chopped pistachios, toasted and cooled 

1 TB Cambozola cheese, softened 

1 TB cream cheese, softened 

1 TB brown sugar 

1 TB craisins 

Mix all ingredients. 

Spoon mixture into cored pears, pressing to fill. 

You’ll no doubt have some of the reduced syrup leftover 

and I know just how to use it. Add it to Pear Sauce. 

The syrup gives the sauce a nice kick. It’s delightful on 

toast, waffles, biscuits, even heated up over ice cream. 

Also, pear sauce is a great way to use up pears that are 

overly ripe. 

Combine pears, lemon juice, and corn syrup in 

a small saucepan. Note that you’re not limited 

to simply pears here. If you have peaches and/ 

or apples, feel free to add those to the mix. If 

you do, add in a little more lemon juice and corn 

syrup accordingly. Cook over low heat about 30 

minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up the 

chunks, until mixture has thickened and reached 

the consistency you like. 

Stir in 1 TB of the reduced pear syrup.

Ella Fitzgerald- The First Lady of Song and a Newport News native 

by James H. Brown 

Apr 25, 1917 - Jun 15, 1996 (age 79). Few have 

been blessed with the musical talent that Ella 

Fitzgerald possessed. Known as the “Queen of 

Jazz” Ella was not only blessed with that gift but was 

known for breaking down barriers. Coming up and 

having some rough teenage years as a look-out at a 

Bordello with a Mafia-affiliated numbers runner, she 

was eventually picked up by the authorities and taken 

to the “Colored Orphan Asylum” in the Bronx. She 

was later transferred to another woman’s home and 

eventually escaped and was living homeless for a 

time. She made a small living signing on the streets 

of Harlem before getting her debut on the Apollo at 

the age of 17! A few years later she won a chance 

to perform alongside Tiny Bradshaw band at the 

Harlem Opera House. Despite this small success, it 

wasn’t until 1938 when her nursery rhyme “A-Tisket, 

A- Tasket” took off and became a major hit! A song

How far would you need to be pushed for revenge? 

That is the first question that our main characters are faced

The history of football & the National Anthem by Tara Ross 

In 1939, a football game is televised for the first time. The 

nation was not yet in the habit of playing the Star-Spangled 

Banner before such sporting events, but it soon would be. Did 

you ever wonder how and why we began playing the national 

anthem before football games? 

Technically, it all started with baseball. 

As early as 1862, the Star-Spangled Banner was played at 

an opening day game in New York. The song wasn’t yet the 

national anthem, but it was a much-loved patriotic tune. Its use 

soon became more consistent—at least on opening days. In 

1898, for instance, the Star-Spangled Banner and a flag-raising 

opened baseball season. 

The country was then in the midst of the Spanish-American 

War. 

“The thousands of persons forgot baseball at this stage and 

stood up with uncovered heads,” The New York Times reported. 

“The wildest enthusiasm prevailed. Thousands of small flags 

were waved by the crowd in the grand stand. The din was great 

and did not subside until the flag was spread to the breeze on 

top of the staff.” 

The Star-Spangled Banner made another notable appearance 

in 1918. The World Series was nearly canceled that year 

because of World War I, but it turned out that American soldiers 

overseas were anxious to hear the outcome! The first game 

in that Series featured a special kind of 7th-inning stretch: a 

stirring rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. 

“First the song was taken up by a few, then others joined, and 

when the final notes came, a great volume of melody rolled 

across the field,” The New York Times reported. “It was at the 

very end that the onlookers exploded into thunderous applause 

and rent the air with a cheer that marked the highest point of 

the day’s enthusiasm. The mind of the baseball fan was on the 

war.” To read more go to http://www.taraross.com

The WWI Meuse-Argonne Offensive begins 

by Tara Ross 

On this day in 1918, the Meuse-Argonne offensive of 

World War I begins. Allied forces were determined to 

push the Germans out of France and back into Germany. 

More than 1.2 million American soldiers would ultimately 

participate in the multi-week offensive. 

We lost a lot of good men during those long, brutal weeks. 

Today, more than 14,000 American soldiers are buried at 

the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial. It’s 

the largest resting place for our military men and women 

overseas. 

The American Expeditionary Force was then facing a tough 

task: The Germans had occupied this part of France for 

years, and they’d installed elaborate defenses. American 

soldiers would not only have to fight the enemy, but they’d 

be working their way through barbed wire and past machine 

gun nests to do it. 

The offensive was scheduled to begin at 5:30 a.m. on 

September 26, but Pershing planned to lead with 3-hour 

bombardment. It must have been a sight to behold. “During 

the three hours preceding H Hour,” military historian Carlo 

D’Este concludes, “the Allies expended more ammunition 

than both sides managed to fire throughout the four years of 

the Civil War.” 

The bombardment may have cost as much as $1 million per 

minute! 

Some of that fire was delivered by then-Captain Harry S. 

Truman, who was in charge of one battery of field artillery. 

One private remembered Truman giving a pep talk to his 

men. “I want to tell you this, too, fellows,” Truman said. 

“Right tonight I’m where I want to be—in command of this 

battery. I’d rather be right here than be President of the United 

States. You boys are my kind. Now let’s go in!” 

A fair bit of irony in the pep talk, given Truman’s ultimate 

destiny? ;) 

As the artillery raged, one WWI Ace was in the skies 

overhead, leading five planes. He would speak of what the 

bombardment looked like from the sky: It was “a solid belt of 

flashes, lighting up the world.” 

In the meantime, soldiers got ready for “H hour.” “We 

spoke to one another with subdued spirits,” one sergeant 

later described, “and arranged with one another to have our 

best buddy carry home a message to our folks just in case 

we didn’t make it.” Nevertheless, they were ready to go. “At 

zero hour we started on our greatest of all adventures,” one 

private reported. “I cannot truthfully say that I was not somewhat 

afraid, yet I remember I did not in the least hesitate to 

scramble up the trench on the word, ‘Let’s go.’” 

The fighting was tough. Allied forces made advances, but 

not as many as they would have liked. In the weeks that 

followed, heavy rains would create problems, too. Tanks 

became bogged down in mud and resupply efforts were 

hampered. The Germans were fighting off a flu epidemic, 

but they had also gained reinforcements—and they had the 

high ground. 

Nevertheless, after weeks of brutal fighting, the persistence 

of America and her allies paid off. The Germans began to retreat—and 

an armistice was finally signed on November 11. 

World War I had finally come to an end.

Mud Flats to Mission Ready – NAS Oceana by Amy Waters Yarsinske 

In the 1880s, a whistle stop named Tunis was the only oasis 

of civilization on the Norfolk Southern Railway spur between 

the city of Norfolk and the popular amusements and resort 

atmosphere of the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Everything 

in-between was sprawling farmland that divided Princess 

Anne County like a patchwork quilt. Farmhouses, dependencies, 

country stores and a couple of schoolhouses and other 

public buildings dotted the landscape. Near Tunis – the next 

to last rail stop to the oceanfront – a small community had 

sprung, growth that prompted residents to give it a name 

more fitting to the train’s ultimate destination along Virginia’s 

golden shore. The hamlet of Tunis was rebranded Oceana 

in 1891. 

More than four decades later, in 1938, with the threat of 

war on America’s doorstep and the United States Navy 

limited to one air station and two grass auxiliary fields for 

aviation practice in the Norfolk, Virginia operating area, Rear 

Admiral Patrick Neison Lynch Bellinger, then commander in 

chief of Naval Air Force Atlantic, received orders to locate 

four additional airfields in proximity of Naval Air Station 

Norfolk. As retired captain Dexter C. Rumsey II later put it, 

Bellinger’s marching orders came down “because they had 

so damn many pilots to train so fast.” Two decades after the 

war, Rumsey commanded Naval Air Station Oceana. 

Between the village of Oceana and the Princess Anne 

County courthouse lay five thousand acres of farmland from 

which the navy would carve out an air station. The navy’s 

choice of this vast tract was purposeful. With low population 

density and plenty of elbowroom, the tract made the perfect 

location for a military airfield. From auxiliary airfield to master 

jet base, Oceana would become a significant example 

Amy Waters Yarsinske is the author of several best-selling, 

award-winning nonfiction books, most recently An American 

in the Basement: the Betrayal of Captain Scott Speicher and the 

Cover-up of His Death, and while it has led to major media interviews 

and speaking engagements across the country, it importantly continues 

the national conversation of POW/MIA accountability. The book 

won the Next Generation Indie Book Award for General Non-fiction 

in 2014. Amy’s new books include an historical series based on her 

favorite Virginia, North Carolina and Washington, D.C. locales and 

historic sites, the first of which, Norfolk Through Time was published 

on the spring list this year; a whistleblower’s story set against the 

backdrop of rampant scientific misconduct; the biography of one of 

America’s greatest twentieth-century aviators; the story of a murder 

in Tehran that would change the trajectory of history, two more 

narratives that will make it clear that America still has a crisis of accountability 

for its missing service members, and the story of Norfolk 

Botanical Garden, a Virginia Historic Landmark that is also listed on 

the National Register of Historic Places. 

Yarsinske lives in Norfolk, Virginia, with her husband and three 

children.

of an air station that had a city grow around it, not the other 

way around. 

Bellinger’s effort to secure auxiliary airfields had been a 

work in progress for nearly three years when the worst that 

could have happened did. On December 8, 1941, the United 

States Congress declared war on the Empire of Japan in 

response to that country’s surprise attack on the American 

naval base at Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, the prior day. 

The declaration was drafted an hour after President Franklin 

D. Roosevelt delivered his remarkable “Day of Infamy” 

speech. Following the United States’ declaration, on December 

11, Japan’s allies, Germany and Italy, declared war 

on the United States, and the United States reciprocated, 

bringing the United States fully into the Second World War. 

With a new sense of urgency, naval personnel descended 

quickly on the mud flats of auxiliary landing field Oceana, 

hastily building a series of nineteen Quonset huts to accommodate 

32 officers and 172 enlisted men. At the peak of the 

war, the remote and largely inaccessible auxiliary landing 

field was commissioned Naval Auxiliary Air Station Oceana 

on August 17, 1943. This was just the beginning. In the 

decades that followed the Second World War, the air station 

and the community around it grew with naval aviation. The 

nascent auxiliary air station grew so fast that less than a 

decade after the war, the navy built additional runways and 

training facilities. The evolution of Oceana postwar sent a 

clear message that it could no longer function as a subordinate 

to any other air station. The secretary of the navy 

redesignated Oceana a naval air station on April 1, 1952, a 

move that ultimately laid the foundation for development of 

the master jet base.

A once-remote auxiliary air station that sprung from the 

mud flats of old Princess Anne County near the whistle stop 

of Oceana, from which it gets its name, Naval Air Station 

Oceana has advanced in the decades since World War II 

to become the navy’s East Coast master jet base and one 

of the largest and most advanced air stations in the world. 

Through interviews, exhaustive research and rare and 

often never-before-seen photographs that are her hallmark, 

author and historian Amy Waters Yarsinske tells the story of 

vision, courage and commitment that reinforce what Admiral 

Michael G. Mullen, then chief of naval operations, said of 

Oceana when he testified before the Base Realignment and 

Closure (BRAC) commission regional hearings on August 

4, 2005, his words just as relevant today as they were then. 

“We know how important it is to our training. We know how 

important it is to our preparation for warfighting. We know 

how important it is to be good neighbors, and we will continue 

to be. Our sailors and their families – and I include my 

own family on that list – enjoy living in the wonderful communities 

of the great state of Virginia,” he continued. “Mr. 

Chairman [Anthony Principi], I need now – your navy needs 

now – Naval Air Station Oceana.”

Northeast North Carolina Family History – changes are a part of life… 

By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

Well last month I wrote about the 350th 

anniversary celebration that Currituck 

was planning but who knew Hurricane 

Florence would decide to visit the same 

weekend and cancel the event! Sadly our 

neighbors to the south are still struggling 

with the aftermath and I cringe to think of the 

lost items of value to every family’s history. 

With the advantage we now have of storing 

valuable family histories and photos in the 

cloud or on family history websites such as 

familysearch.org and Ancestry.com, I hope 

more of us will make this a priority in the 

immediate future. 

As for rescheduling those events – the 

decision about the anniversary is being 

made after my deadline as I am writing this, 

BUT the Kansas City BBQ, People’s Choice 

BBQ and the Rodeo have been rescheduled 

for November 3rd. The BBQ contest begins 

and 1 pm and the rodeo at 3 pm along 

with numerous other activities, including a 

cornhole competition. For more details and 

specific costs go to www.visitcurrituck.com/ 

currituck-bulls-bbq/ 

For more than 30 years we have been 

talking about going to southern New Jersey 

to visit the graves of my husband’s 5th 

great-grandparents. We finally committed 

to make the trip this past August. Most 

Hampton descendants in the area (and 

there are MANY) got their family history info 

from a record completed in 1949 by Mary 

Hampton Modlin, the granddaughter of Dr. 

John Thomas Hampton II, the first Hampton 

to live in Currituck. A copy of this information 

is in “The Heritage of Currituck County 

1670-1985” and is what I used as the basis 

for my 1980’s Hampton genealogy. As I 

have mentioned in the past it is also where 

the confusion between the Virginia and New 

Jersey Hamptons was created. 

I finally got around to comparing DNA 

circles on Ancestry.com to my husband’s and 

YEAH! – his DNA matches a number of Virginia 

lines with documentation from William 

Hampton born in 1586 in England, arriving 

in Virginia in 1620 followed in 1621 by his 

wife and two children. We just don’t have a 

documentable paper trail… But I just found 

a new minor error from Mary Modlin’s record 

that is now literally in stone. Her death date 

of our first Currituck ancestor, John Thomas 

Hampton was October 31, 1831. That is 

incorrect but is chiseled on his monument in 

Aydlett – oh well… 

I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit I 

really haven’t looked at this line in over a 

decade. In 2014 a picture appeared in a 

web search of the 5th great-grandmother 

whose grave we went to see, posted by 

Stephen Haynes. Her name was Mercy 

Harris Hampton and she married the father 

of our Currituck ancestor, also Dr. John 

Thomas Hampton. He was a Revolutionary 

War doctor and throughout the Old Stone 

Church cemetery in Fairton, NJ, Revolutionary 

War veterans are marked with a flag 

and a large medallion. There were A LOT! 

When we got home I decided to check into 

this Hampton line again and I was impressed 

by an article now on Ancestry.com also by 

Stephen Haynes. The title is “The Story of 

Three Grandmothers” written in 1955 by his 

grandmother Maria Louisa Kennard Haynes. 

It is 68 pages and a great read with wonderful 

information. After his mother’s death in 

2011 he inherited a basement full of thousands 

of letters, documents and photos and 

a notebook with this type-written manuscript. 

Only “one grandmother” is our line. 

It gives some information about Mercy’s 

Harris (maiden name) line as well as a letter 

from Mercy’s second husband Amos Wescott 

to Mercy dated May 5th, 1800, Fairfield (now 

Fairton), NJ. One line is of special interest to 

Currituck Hamptons – “The Medicinal Society 

meets at Cohansey Bridge next Thursday 

and John and David is going to be examined 

on that day.” Our Currituck ancestor and his 

step-brother David are taking their examination 

to become doctors!! The correction to 

our John Thomas Hampton’s death appears 

in a letter sent to Ruth Wescott Jeffers 

(Mercy and her 2nd husband’s daughter) by 

her nephew James Hampton, dated April 23, 

1831. “We received a letter from Currituck 

a few days since informing us of the death 

of Uncle John Hampton; he died on the 

27th of March of a pulmonary consumption.” 

Checking Currituck wills gives shows his will 

was proved May of 1831 so 69 years of the 

October date are wrong and every genealogy 

based on Mary Modlin Hampton’s info is 

wrong. 

The picture I am including is from a 

daguerreotype made of a portrait of Mercy 

Harris Hampton Wescott. This was a 

photograph made from a very early photographic 

process. Although the location of 

the portrait is unknown Stephen Haynes has 

the daguerreotype. If both pictures make 

it – the other is of my husband standing next 

to the graves at the Old Stone Church. It 

was the third church built there by Presbyterian 

settlers from Fairfield, Connecticut. Its 

building was delayed by five years during 

the Revolutionary War, finally built in 1780 to 

replace a wooden one that had stood since 

1715. Don’t be determined your family history 

information is the only right version, new 

light changes things!

Is Your “Digital Estate” in Order? 

If you spend a lot of time on the internet, you’re not just shopping or being 

entertained, or following the news or participating in an online community. 

You’re probably also dealing with accounts and information that eventually 

can become part of your digital “estate.” And if this estate isn’t properly 

looked after, it can lead to confusion and conflict among your survivors, as 

well as an opportunity for hackers to try to get at whatever resources they 

can touch. 

If you haven’t stopped to think about it, you might be surprised at the 

number of assets that could become part of your digital estate. You may 

have financial accounts (banking, brokerage and billpaying); 

virtual property accounts (air miles, “points” for hotel bookings); business 

accounts (eBay, Amazon, Etsy); e-mail accounts (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo); 

social networking accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram); online storage 

accounts (Google Drive, iCloud, Drobox); and application accounts (Netflix, 

Kindle, Apple). 

Given all these areas, how can you protect and preserve your digital 

estate? 

Here are a few suggestions: 

• Create a detailed inventory of digital assets. Following the categories 

listed above, draw up a list of all your digital assets. 

• Document your wishes for how you want your digital assets managed. 

If you don’t specify how you want your digital assets managed upon your 

death or incapacitation, you might be opening the door to lengthy legal 

battles over access to these assets. In a worst-case scenario, your heirs

and beneficiaries might never get the assets you had intended for them. 

• Name a digital executor in your last will and testament. A digital executor 

can accomplish a variety of tasks related to your digital estate, such as 

transferring online assets to your heirs; closing accounts you don’t want 

transferred; managing personal materials by archiving or deleting files, 

photographs, videos and other content you have created; and, finally, 

informing online communities of your passing. When choosing a digital executor, 

you’ll want someone you can trust, of course, but you’ll also want 

to make sure that person is skilled enough in technology to search your 

computer properly and navigate the internet and multiple websites. Not 

all states recognize a digital executor, so you may want to consult with a 

legal professional to learn about the laws governing digital estate planning 

in your state. Also, even if you have a digital executor, online platforms enforce 

their own rules about who can or can’t access a deceased person’s 

accounts. If you are concerned about this, you may want to contact the 

customer service areas from these types of providers – Google, PayPal, 

Facebook, etc. – to learn their policies. 

• Review your plans. Review your digital estate plans on a regular basis, 

just as you do with your physical/tangible estate plans. The digital world 

is a fastmoving one, so you’ll need to stay current with changes. In some 

ways, managing a digital estate can be more challenging than dealing with 

a physical estate. But by following the above suggestions, you can help 

reduce any “cyber-angst” your loved ones may feel when it’s time to deal 

with the digital presence you’ve left behind.

New Life of Currituck 

Money, Marriage, and Mansion. 

thought it might be fun and challenging to do a three-part 

I series on thankfulness leading up to thanksgiving this year. 

So, last month I wrote about being thankful with what we have 

financially, this month is on marriage. It is not hard to find a 

conversation these days about the trend of marriages breaking 

apart, living together without being married etc. If you read this 

article and call me old fashioned that is okay with me. For 30 

years now, I have Pastored and counseled many marriages and 

one thing is still true. Selfishness brings separation and sacrifice 

brings satisfaction. Whether we want to believe it or not we were 

created to love and to love unconditionally. Philippians 2:3-5 says 

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility 

of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 

do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also 

for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which 

was also in Christ Jesus” When I choose to look at and act in 

thankfulness towards my wife there is no grass that looks greener 

on the other side of the fence. The grass is greener at home. I 

can already here some of your responses, “You don’t know my 

spouse”. Your right I don’t, but I have a question for you, how 

stubborn, arrogant and petty can you be? Please let me say that 

I never advocate mental, physical, verbal or emotional abuse. So, 

If I am willing to learn how to love unconditionally most of the time 

my spouse is willing too. It was about ten years ago that a movie 

come out called “Fire Proof” from that movie there was a book 

made called “The Love Dare”. 

The love dare is a 40-day challenge to do acts of unconditional 

Arts on the Perquimans 

by Pastor Dan Bergey 

The Perquimans Arts League is sponsoring the eighth annual 

juried Arts and Crafts Show Saturday, October 6, 2018, 

from 10 AM – 4 PM. The show is held at the Perquimans 

County Recreation Center, 310 Granby St., off Harvey Point 

Road, Hertford. Admission is $3.00. Along with unique items 

produced by talented artists from throughout NE North Carolina 

and Virginia, there will be the always popular bake sale, door 

prizes throughout the day, food and drink available for purchase, 

and a 50/50 raffle, which garnered nearly $1,000.00 for 

last year’s lucky winner. Proceeds from the raffle will support 

the building fund for the new PAL gallery in downtown Hertford. 

love for your spouse. Doing something like this can help your 

marriage no doubt yet you can start today. Choose each day to 

be thankful for your spouse and communicate it to them without 

any expectation for anything in return. Life brings enough challenges 

on its own, sickness, disease, and a host of other ailments 

cause stress in many ways. Unconditional love is a strong 

foundation that will give you and I the opportunity to serve one 

another in a way that says you are important to me. I encourage 

you today to begin being thankful for your spouse and your family. 

I know you can do it. Next month we will talk about our mansions. 

Home is where the heart is, do you believe that?

The Power of the Cross 

By Ron Ben-Dov 

Copyright 9/25/18 all rights reserved 

There’s electric power, steam power, 

power of the pen; 

I’ve heard of hydro power, combustion engines, 

and the wind; 

You’ve got hydrogen, solar, 

and the power of money; 

Yet nothing is as strong as the 

power of the cross; 

We’ve had armies and their weapons 

of mass destruction; 

There have been terrorists, murderers, 

and anarchists, galore; 

They spill your blood, and steal your treasure, 

and sap your soul; 

Yet nothing is as strong as the 

power of the cross; 

Only two have ever made the ultimate sacrifice, 

for you; 

The American military man, and Jesus Christ, 

the only two; 

So, salute the flag and thank a soldier, airman, 

sailor, or marine; 

But hit your knees in prayer, 

praising Jesus Christ; 

For only Jesus died upon the cross, 

so you may have eternal life; 

Nothing is as strong as the power of the cross;

The Master’s Chair - A Place of Prominence and Respect 

The Bucktrout Masonic Master’s chair was created and built 

by Benjamin Bucktrout, which dates back to between 1769 – 

1775. In Williamsburg, VA., Bucktrout’s chair was one of several 

made in the south prior to the revolution. Free Masonry was 

founded in England in 1717 and established in the Americas by 

the 1730s. The Master’s chair occupied a place of special significance 

within the allegorical plan, placed on the east wall of the 

room. The Master’s chair associated the worshipful master with 

the rising sun. Just as the sun was a source of celestial light, the 

master is a source of knowledge and enlightenment. Even though 

a thought was that the chair was located in Williamsburg Masonic 

Lodge #6, the identity of the Lodge that first owned Bucktrout’s 

chair is a mystery. History states that the chair was at home for 

over two hundred years at Unanimity Lodge #7 in Edenton, North 

Carolina. The chair was accepted at Unanimity Lodge on July 

6th 1778 as a gift from a ship’s Captain by the name of George 

Russel who, legend states had been entrusted with the chair by 

the Virginia Lodge for safe keeping during the British – American 

Revolution in the mid 1700s. When the lodge failed to reestablish, 

Russel presented the chair to the Unanimity Lodge #7. Evidence 

suggests that Bucktrout’s Master’s Chair was used in the Williamsburg, 

V.A. Lodge by Peyton Randolph, a provincial Grand Master 

of Virginia at that time the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation 

acquired. 

The original Bucktrout Master’s Chair in 1983 and now is on display 

at the Dewitt Wallace Collection Museum. When the original 

chair was transferred to Williamsburg a replica of the Bucktrout 

Chair was created for Unanimity #7 Masonic Lodge in Edenton by 

Wallace Gusler and Leroy Graves and is now enclosed in a glass 

case at the Edenton Lodge. During the colonial period the Unanimity 

Lodge #7 was located on the second floor of the Edenton 

By Dr. Dave 

Courthouse and remained there for 242 years until moving to its 

present location on Water Street in Edenton. This replica Master’s 

chair will be on display for 2 months for spectators viewing at the 

Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City, North Carolina starting 

March 2019.
