COA and NCWorks Host CTE Boot Camp
Barco, NC – Through a grant from the NC Division of
Workforce Solutions, College of The Albemarle (COA)
and NCWorks held a boot camp for Career and Technical
Education (CTE) “influencers” within our local school
systems, August 5-8, 2019. Held at COA’s Regional Aviation
and Technical Training Center (RATTC), the “CTE
Influencers” gained access to hands-on activities that
demonstrated a typical day of learning for a COA student
in the Computer-Aided Drafting and Machining programs.
The boot camp accepted applications from local high
school teachers, administrators and/or counselors to
experience the opportunities that are offered through
high-tech, high-wage careers in manufacturing. Activities
included taking a concept from drawing and design,
through the Computer-Aided Drafting lab, to actual
production in the Machining lab, as well as tours to
regional employers who routinely hire COA graduates in
CTE programs. Tours included Hockmeyer Equipment
Corporation in Elizabeth City, Hoffer Flow Controls, Inc. in
Elizabeth City, Sumiotomo Technologies, Inc. in Chesapeake,
VA, and the Aviation Logistics Center on the U.S.
Coast Guard Base-Elizabeth City.
11 “CTE influencers” from the surrounding school districts
participated in the boot camp, representing Camden, Currituck,
Dare, Edenton-Chowan, Pasquotank, Perquimans,
and Washington.
“This camp was unique because it provided an opportunity
for area educators, who we feel are key “influencers”
throughout the region, to learn more about the educational
and career opportunities available in our region,” said
Michelle Waters, Dean, Business, Industry and Applied
Technologies; Campus Administrator, RATTC. “It was
a great way to showcase the advanced manufacturing
pathway options that can take our local youth from
college to career and also allowed key partnerships to
be formed between the area’s school districts, NCWorks,
COA and local employers.”
The college’s sixth annual Advanced Manufacturing Day
will be held on Friday, October 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m. at COA’s RATTC, 107 College Way, Barco. It is
open to those interested in learning more about COA’s
industrial tech programs, as well as hearing about the job
opportunities available with local employers in this field.

How to Finally Stop Dirty Sock Syndrome and Unpleasant Smells
From Plaguing Your Home
by Laura Bush Jenkins
Sharon Felton of Camden knew something was wrong.
Her AC system gave off a persistent, terrible smell.
This went on for nearly five years.
“It was unreal,” Felton recalls to Wavy News 10’s Andy
Fox and the team at Dwelling Management Solutions
(DMS.)
“I just broke down in tears [...] I am so over this, and
worrying about our health.”
The Feltons weren’t the only ones impacted by a dirty
HVAC system. Keith Stevens of Edenton remembers he
and his wife frequently coughing after a rain storm near
their home.
Thankfully, DMS fogged Stevens’ entire home- including
the crawlspace, attic, and ductwork.
While it’s common for harmful substance to build up
inside HVAC coils, the good news if you don’t have to
spend big bucks replacing your system.
A proprietary, EPA-approved sanitizing treatment kills
viruses, mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria that typically
congregate unnoticed.
The treatment is becoming more mainstream as DMS
addresses foul build-up- commonly known as Dirty Sock
Syndrome- in delicate property management situations.
For instance, DMS successfully removed harmful substances
from a three-story waterfront home in Moyock
as well as a downtown retail store, Department of Motor
Vehicles branch, and neighborhood church in Edenton.
The team provides a warranty certifying their work as
long as proper follow-up recommendations are followed.

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?
Well, I made it to 80 years old. With all of the abuse,
punishment, and neglect that I’ve done to myself,
I’m amazed that I’m able to function at such a relatively
high level. It can only be the nutrition part of my strategy.
I did share that I’ve added a few laps of swimming a
couple of days a week, but exercise wasn’t a regular part
of my regimen. The acid test will be what my quarterly
blood panel results look like. I’ve reduced my stress level
dramatically in my new environment. I even got rid of my
vehicle, which was a major stress factor. With my diet
optimizing and exercise, I’m confident about my next 3
years. This community (age 62+) is the perfect environment
to test strategies. I have new neighbors that have
expressed interest in my information, I’ll be sharing their
feedback.
Let’s revisit some fundamentals and strategies from
earlier articles. The digestion system is one of the most
important of humans 12 systems. All contribute to your
quality of life. We’ll be breaking down the systems in
future columns.
Among other functions, water is a carrier for nutrients including:
antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds such
as,omega-3, probiotics, and fiber. So when I’m asked
how much water I drink my response is about a gallon a
day, most of which is green tea. Very seldom do I drink
plain water.
Warren Green can be reached

recognize the substance, it stores it. If your beverage has
high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) it’s a double whammy
to your liver. Chew your carbs thoroughly before
you wash them down.
The digestive system and immune system operate in the
same place. We’ll drill down on that symbiotic relationship
and food implications next month.

Back to the digestive system. The first step is in your saliva.
Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which breaks
down carbohydrates (canines don’t have amylase in their
saliva). If you bypass that step by washing the carbohydrate
down, you force the liver to process it. If the liver
is overwhelmed and can’t get to it at the time, or doesn’t

Aviation Appreciation Day, Oct. 5th, Highlights Career Development & Industry Opportunities
by Laura Bush Jenkins
While North Carolinians know the expression
“First in Flight,” residents passing the corner
of Weeksville and Consolidated Roads may not
realize the Elizabeth City Regional Airport’s impact
addressing shifts in a demanding industry and
fueling the larger economy.
Next month’s community outreach on Oct. 5th
from 9-2 showcases the action, introducing potential
students to key players in a prosperous, highly
specialized career path.
“Elizabeth City is blessed with the only state-funded
flight school in North Carolina,” says airport
managing director Gordon Rowell.
Rowell ironically wrote a college paper years ago
addressing the US pilot shortage. After hearing
about the airport from Elizabeth City State University
(ECSU) graduates and seeing its potential in
the marketplace for years to come, he moved to
the area.
“I would tell a kid the job security in aviation is
better than a majority of fields.”
ECSU head flight instructor James Young helped
220 students successfully become captains within
a 5 year period. Young not only trains twenty-something
farm kids, but works with former
military professionals and executives who come
to Elizabeth City to meet rigorous, lengthy Federal
Aviation Administration requirements.
While private flight schools also meet this need,
ECSU’s acceptance of the GI Bill and VA benefits,
along with the state school system’s “NC Promise”
create a favorable environment for students to
graduate with minimal debt.
Young observes successful pilots are introspective,
internally motivated, and capable of completing
tasks independently. The field requires
following exact rules without overconfidence in
oneself or equipment.
“Safety is most important but [rookie students
often] don’t know the limits,” he says. “Everything
is planning and consistently executing safely with
a backup plan.”
As ownership of aviation equipment increases
among wealthy people, Young forecasts a demand
for skilled personnel to negotiate flight conditions.
Automation creates a need for experienced operators
with training our regional airport provides.
While programs in the Marine Reserves or College
of the Albemarle’s Barco campus open doors for
training, pilots seeking experience to fly commercially
and grow beyond an intermediate level have
a place at Elizabeth City’s regional airport.
ECSU graduates fly globally in places like Asia
and can get connected with cargo companies who
have a long-term shortage of skilled professionals.
If you would like to learn more and get a glimpse
of training facilities yourselves, join us at the
event, where you will see 11 different types of
aircraft and can even take a free plane ride.
Professionals with the Air Force, Civil Air Patrol,
ECSU, and Northeast Academy for Aerospace and
Advanced Technologies will be on hand to build
relationships and answer questions.
For more information, contact Gordon Rowell at
252 335 5634 or Dr. Kuldeep Rawat, ECSU aviation
program chairman at 252 335 3846.

Adam’s Needle
by: Coy Domecq
It never ceases to amaze me at the beneficial uses of
plants that we walk by every day without ever realizing
their attributes. For me Adam’s Needle, Yucca filamentosa
in the agave family, is but one of these plants. This
plant is a rosette of sword-shaped spiny-tipped leaves
and spikes of creamy white flowers when in bloom.
Adam’s Needle is native to the southeast US and can be
found especially among coastal plain locales but does
well in just about any place with well-drained soil and
exposure to full sun. This plant was and continues to be
used by Native Americans for a host of applications, from
food source to medicinal remedy. Before we proceed, the
standard caution applies that one should never consume
any plant without positive identification and knowledge
of proper preparation. Like all yuccas and other similar
plants, Adam’s Needle especially the root contains saponins,
soap-like chemicals that, unless leached by repeated
washings might cause stomach distress. These are
not medical recommendations but rather a recount of historical
and contemporary use to treat ailments. All parts of
the plant can be consumed; the flowers, immature fruits,
stalk, root, and seeds are typically boiled or roasted.
Medical uses include a dermatological wash, ointment or
salve for rashes and skin diseases, a treatment for strains
and sprains and even as decoction for the treatment of
diabetes. Other practical uses of the plant are for use as
a detergent, fire starter made from dried fibers, cordage
from twisting individual fibers, and handily enough a needle
with the filamentous thread already attached.
“The idiotic industry of an ant
building his hill in the path of a
glacier, and imagining that he
is free.”

JIM KAIGHN INSURANCE AGENCY- HOME OF THE “INSURANCE DOCTOR”
WHAT IS INSURANCE AND WHAT IS IT REALLY FOR??? AND WHO KNOWS???
As I reported in last months’ article, people really have no
idea of the entire reason why families need life insurance..
They think it is just a waste of money now that they could use for
other things.. like fixing their motorcycle, or taking that vacation
to Cancun, Mexico!! Anyway I am young, strong and I am
going to live for a long time!! Mostly true.. It takes a special type
of person to admit that I might NOT LIVE FOREVER!! These
people are the folks who realize that they do need to protect
their family in case they do die early.. But, WHAT AND WHY
DO I NEED SO MUCH, what is it suppose to do.. The simple
basic answer is IF YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY, YOU WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEIR FINANCIAL SITUATION IN THE
FUTURE IS THE SAME AS IT IS NOW, or better!! You are out
there, busting yourself to earn a living, to put food on the table,
having a nice place to live and having some of the niceities of
this life while you can enjoy them.. You and your spouse work
hard, sometimes SAVING no money, except for Social Security
for when you retire..
But, those of you who CAN think for themselves, not having the
Government telling you how to think, here are the basic reasons
to carry Life Insurance.. If you are fortunate enough to be able to
buy a home, you realize, but do not comprehend, that your loan
is for 30YEARS.. a long time, and most of your payments go
the interest, very little to paying down the money you borrowed!!
Most mortgages these days are over $250,000.. (a quarter of a
million dollars) HOW COULD YOUR FAMILY PAY THIS OFF
IF YOU ARE GONE, DIE, NO LONGER HERE..??? Borrow
the money from your parents?? Get a new loan to pay off the
existing loan?? NO , LIFE INSURANCE IS HERE TO THE RES-
CUE!! Tax free money coming in to have the surviving spouse
the ability to pay off THIS HUGE BILL..tadaa- a free place for
the family to live!! Now the problem that arises for the surviving
spouse is what to do with this WINFALL, like winning the
lottery.. how to handle all this money without having it sucked
away from them by greedy family members, etc.. THIS WILL
BE COVERED IN THE OCTOBER ARTICLE) The SECOND
MAIN reason is for the replacement of the deceased salary..
Now, my home is paid for, but how will I replace their income??
Will I have to go out and get a second job?? Will I have to raid
little Johnnies’ college fund,HELP ME-- AND WHO WILL HELP
ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone in your family know? does your lawyer know, or
the preacher at your church?? These issues will be covered
next month.. If you would like to contact me, call me at 252 202
5983 or 252 335 5983, or my e-mail at “insdr@roadrunner.com”
Thought of the month-- Learn to think for yourself!!!

September is a great time to fish here on the Outer
Banks. Surf and Pier fishing will offer the angler a
chance for Red Drum, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Sea
Mullet, Spot and Speckled Trout. Those fishermen may
also be some of the first to start landing Red Drum
in the 40 to 50 inch ranges. However, Mother Nature
will be the main factor on what species will be biting
throughout the month. Those fishing near and offshore
may also have great days on the water if the weather
cooperates. It is not unheard of for the White Marlin bite
to stay hot into late September, as well as good catches
of Yellowfin Tuna and Dolphin. If bottom fishing is more
to your liking, then a trip out of Hatteras with a charter
captain that specializes in this type of fishing will give
you a great day on the water. Also surf fishing on Hatteras
Island this time of the year is really nice because
the crowds on the beaches start to decline during the
post Labor Day holiday. If you are headed down to
Hatteras to fish on the surf, make sure you purchase
or renew your Cape Hatteras National Seashore Off
Road Vehicle Permit. You can buy an annual or 10 day
permit. Check out the NPS website and you can see all
of the ramps that are open and how to purchase a permit
online. The web address is https://www.recreation.
gov/vehiclepermits.
in your family with all kinds of events planned. While
you are there, you can see the oldest fishing fleet in the
Outer Banks, The Albatross Fleet, and get the chance
to meet the owner, Captain Ernie Foster. If you are in
the area, make sure you attend this great event that
celebrates the tradition of fishing watermen of Hatteras
Village.
There is also a kayak fishing tournament in Nags
Head September 13th and 14th. The Outer Banks
Kayak Fishing Tournament will be based out of
Kitty Hawk Surf Company and the weblink is https://
www.kittyhawk.com/event/obx-kayak-fishing-tournament/?utm_source=icwnet
and the Facebook link is
https://www.facebook.com/events/912373448960590/ .
Kayak Fishing has grown fast here on the Outer Banks
and in Kitty Hawk, as it has all over the nation. This is
an opportunity for local and visiting kayak fishermen to
have an event that is focused on them.
As you can see, the month of September on the Outer
Banks has a lot to offer in the way of fishing and other
activities.

There are also a couple of Hatteras Village events you
may want to know about if you are headed to Hatteras
Island this month. The first event is the Hatteras Village
Invitational Surf Fishing Tournament, which is September
5 thru 7, 2019. Also in September, Hatteras Village
Day at the Docks will be held September 13 and 14,
2019. This event is held on the docks at Hatteras
Harbor, Odens’s Dock, Village Marina and the Albatross
Fleet Dock. This event offers something for everyone

Dear Dr. Crime
Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for a social scientist holding
a Ph.D. degree in sociology and in criminology. He
has worked in all major parts of the criminal justice
system. Drop him a note at the website www.keepkidshome.net
If you or your child is in trouble, he
may be able to help, give him a call (2523390000) or
E-mail at

Dear Dr. Crime: My brother lost a lot of money to some
crooks who claimed to be him. What can we do to protect
ourselves from those bums? Average joe
Dear Joe: Your question should be considered by all
Americans. There are so many things involved I can only
touch a few so you and others keep looking for ways to
be safe. Fox Business and the IRS suggested the following
steps.
• Install anti-virus software
• Configure firewalls
• Use two-factor authentication
• Backup software
• Drive encryption
• Establish an encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN)
I urge all who read this to see https://www.foxbusiness.
com/personal-finance/irs-tax-tips-stop-cybercriminals and
don’t be trusting, but be critical in all your dealing with
others, especially on the internet.
Dear Dr. Crime: I see our local jails and prisons are not
safe for the people there, criminals and staff. Let us have
an update on what is going on. Fearful Victim
Dear Fearful: Information I received from our superb
politician Rep. Bob Steinburg showed that reports and
charges of sexual assault in adult lockups nearly tripled
from 2011 to 2015. In 2015 there were reports of 24,661
allegations of sexual victimization in correctional facilities.
We are fortunate to have an astute and honest politician
like Rep. Steinburg handling the awful matters involving
deaths in our local prisons. I urge you to contact Mr.
Steinburg and show your support of his efforts to understand
and politically respond to those awful events.
Dear Dr. Crime: We just had another shooting!!! Blank
Blank Blank !! Please tell me the safest country in the
world so I can move there. Angry and Afraid.
Dear A&A: It seems the media pumps violence and
ignores happy and safe events. You will be pleased to
know there is a Global Peace Index, but CNN and FOX
don’t talk about it often. It is a ranking of the safest
countries in the world published annually by the Institute
for Economics and Peace. Recall Iceland? Well, that is
this year’s safest country. In NC the safest places are
Elon, Pinehurst, Davidson, Winterville, and Holly Springs,
ranked by Safewise.com. See their site for safety resources
(https://www.safewise.com/home-security/nc/).
Dear Dr. Crime: I am glad you told the kids not to use pot.
I am pushing your finding at home where I have 3 boys.
Mom
Dear Mom: I stand by my argument that kids should not
use pot, of any variation, except for medical reasons. But
the story does not end there. The Cancer Institute at
Harvard University has recently released a study that a
pot based chemical may be a big treatment for pancreatic
cancer. See the scientific journal Frontiers of Oncology,
out last month. Clearly the pot issue is complex.

Chowanoke History
by Duvonya Chavis
The greatest negative impact on Indigenous people living in America
has been the denial of their right to enjoy and practice their culture.
Although the overall impact resulted in statistics that reveal similar social
disparities among Indigenous people across the United States, American
Indians were impacted in various ways depending on the region that they
lived in. Several Indians residing in eastern North Carolina were reclassified
as mulatto by Census takers. There are census documents from the
1800’s that clearly reveal instances where recorders listed a community of
these NC citizens as Indian that was later poorly erased and changed to
give them a mulatto designation. Likewise, during the 1920’s, a Register
of Deeds in Virginia erased Indian from the birth records of all Indigenous
people born in Virginia and reclassified them by changing their race to
colored, or in one instance to white when there was vehement opposition.
However, during the same period of time in the western part of the US, it
was a common practice to take Indian children from their parents, send
them to boarding schools, and prohibit them from speaking their language
and practicing their culture, or face severe punishment. As a result, while
many reservation Indians retained aspects of their tribes’ cultures, it has
been a challenge for them to recall and practice those traditions in a manner
their ancestors had practiced prior to colonization. In modern society,
a consensus among the elders of the tribe is needed to rediscover the
formation of traditional norms.
While the US government began to accept some responsibility in the
1970’s for their mistreatment of American Indians and began to institute
policies to promote Indian self-determination in an effort to correct the
social disparities, their responsibility has primarily been limited to reservation
or tribal Indians that are recognized by the federal government. Their
responsibility to Indigenous people who remained in the eastern part of
the US and who were scattered into small communities to persist distinctively
as American Indian has largely been ignored. Indigenous people
in the east enabled British colonization and are yet to receive reparations
for the mistreatment that incurred beyond their control. Slightly more than
one-half of America’s Indigenous people are recognized by the federal
government, yet only a little over one-tenth of North Carolina’s Indigenous
people belong to a tribe that is federally recognized.
Duvonya, a Chowanoke
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. In
partnership with another
Chowanoke descendant, she
is currently developing the
historic Chowanoke Reservation
in Gates County for
Tribal descendants to hold
cultural events.

Pet Partners
Animal teams from Pet Partners of Coastal Carolina
often visit residents in local nursing homes. It is
always heartwarming to see how excited residents get
when they see the dogs. Even dementia patients perk up
and begin to reminisce about dogs they owned.
The group is looking for more animal teams because
there are currently only three teams that visit the seven
nursing homes in Pasquotank, Camden and Perquimans
Counties. There is a great need for more animal teams
to provide this service.
training class to learn more about animal-assisted therapy.
All animals must be current on their vaccinations
and be screened by a local veterinarian to determine
their suitability in this program. Then the owner and
animal complete specialized training with a local trainer
who prepares the team for evaluation by a Pet Partners
evaluator.
For more information, contact Sheron Mosby, 757-572-
2614, sheronmosby@gmail.com.
In addition, the group works with Albemarle Hospice
to visit their patients. A team’s recent visit to a hospice
patient brought broad smiles.
While we currently only have dogs offering therapy
services in this area, cat, guinea pig, bird and rabbit
owners are also encouraged to consider training their
animals for this service in the community. Pet Partners is
a national organization that trains and certifies animals
and their handlers for animal therapy work.

Meridian Travel
So how much more does it REALLY cost to book
through a travel agent?
Shocking as it may sound, booking through our travel
agency is truly free. Just this week I had a friend text
me to ask about booking a trip for her. After she told me
where she wanted to go, she asked me how much my
fees would be. When I told her free, she was shocked.
She didn’t believe that it could really be free.
Let me explain how really works. Let’s say you want to
go take a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean so you go
online to your favorite cruise company’s website and
click away or call the cruise line and book your trip. The
cruise line keeps all your money and you get a cruise
and very limited help. When you book with our agency,
you get as much or as little help as you’d like from a
travel advisor and the cruise line (or other travel destination)
sends a percentage to us. That’s how we get
paid. When you book with us you also support a small
local business. You pay the exact same amount or
sometimes less because we know about specials you
might not be aware of. We are here to help with whatever
you need from making sure you get the best cabin for
your wants and needs to helping you plan excursions to
answering any questions you may have.
When it comes to other types of vacations, I am able to
provide all kinds of help. I can customize your vacation
for you and your family and/or friends. I’ll find the best
deal that is available and help every step of the way.
So what do we book? We book all cruise lines, all inclusive
resorts, hotels, US & International travel, groups,
Disney, rail trips, hotels, and more. We provide personalized
planning services to meet your needs and it is all
truly free. We don’t tack on extra fees.
Recently I’ve planned personalized trips to Hawaii,
Colorado, Athens, Croatia, Ireland, England, Australia,
Costa Rica, Disney World, Universal Studios, Royal
Caribbean cruises, Carnival cruises, Disney cruises,
Princess cruise, Celebrity cruise, Viking River cruise,
Sandals, Beaches, Alaska land and sea vacations and
more.

Albemarle Plantation starts it off with its Fall Festival
on September 7th. Its Osprey Yacht Club will have two
guided kayak trips up Yeopim Creek, one in the morning
and one in the afternoon, both lasting approximately
2 ½ hours. During the day the festival will have a craft
bazaar featuring local artists and chef cooking demonstrations,
all accompanied by music under the tent. The
evening will have a Fall Fiesta Dinner Dance complete
with a buffet dinner and dance music. Go to www.albemarleloop.com
for more information.
Every Saturday in September from 6 to 10 p.m. Elizabeth
City’s waterfront will have Music on the Green, free
outdoor concerts featuring local artists.
Throughout the season Pocosin Arts in Columbia will
conduct classes and workshops in its contemporary art
gallery and school of fine arts; Edenton offers trolley
tours of its historic town; and Edenton’s Farmer’s Market

252-338-1502
On September 21st, from 6 to 10 p.m., Hertford Bay
Marina will celebrate with Toast of the Perquimans, a

Edenton Chowan County Regional Fair will have exhibits,
activities, contests, food, entertainment, and midway
rides.
Raymonds Creek
The Raymon’s Creek Property Owners’ Association
(RCPOA) is a fully functional neighborhood association,
governed by individuals who live in Raymon’s
Creek. Mike Claggett, Treasurer, reports the following:
The original annual dues payment of $120.00 is still in
effect. This has been possible due to the commitment
of our RCPOA members, which include the original
developers, to volunteer their time and services in order
to maintain and improve the community property and
facilities. Through conservative spending and saving, the
RCPOA has accumulated sufficient funding for three major
projects. We are awaiting permits for a Sill (rip/rap like
rock structure) to be placed under the community pier.
The Sill will allow us to connect to the existing rip/rap of
neighboring properties. With the Sill in place, shoreline
erosion of community property, which has occurred at a
rate of about 30 feet over the last 12 years, should be
greatly reduced. Another major improvement we are
anticipating is a covered pavilion near the entrance of our
community park. The pavilion will allow us a somewhat
protected eating area where the community can share
meals during meetings, work parties, or just have a family
pick-nic. Our final project is a play area for children
with age appropriate swings and slides.
All lots have deeded access to the Pasquotank River via
the homeowners’ association common area. Moreover,
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.
FEMA’s new flood maps, adopted in December, 2018,
place all or part of the remaining subdivision lots within
the .2% (500 year flood plain) annual chance flood
hazard zone. For homes situated in the .2% zone, flood
insurance is not required for most federally-insured mortgages,
and, if purchased, is available at a reduced rate.
Also, in early 2019 Camden County and Eastern Shore
Communications received a $1.8 million federal grant
to bring faster internet to under-served areas. In March,
RCPOA officers met onsite with Eastern Shore officials
to discuss how best to serve the neighborhood. Improvements
are expected to be in place within six months.

Col Hezekiah Spruill’s Epitaph
When I was collecting data for my eventual book
about local cemeteries, I saw many intriguing
epitaphs. The one that sticks in my mind the most was
on the tombstone of Col. Hezekiah Spruill in the Alligator
community of Tyrrell County. Spruill was born in Tyrrell
County on January 22, 1732. He was an early planter,
member of the North Carolina Provincial Congress, and
served in the 2nd Battalion of the North Carolina Militia
during the Revolutionary War. He died in Tyrrell County
on March 20, 1804. His grave is located in a family
cemetery known as Camp Hosey Cemetery or The Col
Hezekiah Spruill Cemetery and includes his wife Roda,
son Samuel, and several other family members. Hezekiah
Spruill’s grave is the second oldest marked burial that
I found in Tyrrell County.
By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com
The inscription on Col Spruill’s stone reads as follows: “In
memory of Colonel Hezekiah Spruill born January 22nd,
1732 departed this life 20th of March 1804 age 72 years,
1 month, and 28 days. My loving friends, as you pass by,
as you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so you must
be, prepare, my friends to follow me.” A very simple but
fitting epitaph if ever I saw one.
Orthodox Christianity by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd
Orthodoxy and the Land
What does Orthodox Christianity say about the environment?
Quite a few things, in fact. But first, we have to clear up a few
terms. The word “environment” is really not a good one. Any
surrounding space can be an “environment.” The interior of a
garbage can can be an environment. So can out outer space
for astronauts who are floating around in it.
We would not use the word “nature,” because that particular
word has enormous philosophical meaning (from the Greek
“physis”), having to do with the kind of life and world you have
as a member of your species.
In Orthodoxy, we prefer the world “Creation.” We humans
(along with all fauna and flora, geology and astronomy) are
part of Creation. We are “creatures.” We are created by a
Creator Who did so as an act of freedom and happiness, and
most of all, love.
This fact makes all the difference for Orthodoxy, in how this
community thinks about environmental issues like climate
change, pollution, famine and wildfires. Creation is the artistic
expression of God the Holy Trinity. It is not a meaningless accident.
Instead, every single creature -- from the greatest quasar
down to the Higgs-Boson subatomic particle -- has meaning
and purpose.
You will find in Orthodoxy that it is more important to know that
God is Creator and continues to create. There is no insistence
in Orthodoxy upon knowing the scientific how’s and when’s of
the process: God does not subject Himself to our historical and
laboratory analysis.
But in Orthodoxy you will find a clear call to human responsibility.
God could man -- Adam and Eve representing all of
humanity all at once -- smack dab in the most beautiful heart of
Creation. There, man was called to be the Gardener. He and
she were to be the Stewards, the Planters and Pruners. The
Shepherds and care-givers. The ones who would enjoy the
fruits and the ones who would protect the earth.
Obviously, Adam and Eve and the rest of humanity went AWOL
on their stewardship responsibilities. One of the most grievous
consequences of the Fall was that Adam and Eve “broke the
world.” You can see it today, all around.
Every year around Labor Day, the Orthodox Church remembers
Creation, especially as it has been affected by failures
of human irresponsibility. It calls us, in a special service of
prayers, to once again view Creation as “the sweetness of
heaven overflowing onto the earth.” It invites us to walk into the
daylight and to heed the voice of Gerard Manley Hopkins, who
reminds us that “there lives the dearest freshness deep down
things.” It beckons us to recognize the artistic work of the Holy
Trinity in every particle of Creation -- as William Blake recommends
to see “Heaven in a wildflower.”
What does Orthodox Christianity say about the environment?
Easy. Pick up where Adam left off.

Making your own oyster
steamer on the cheap
by: Eric Hathaway
Well folks, its oyster season, and what
better way to save money for your oyster
addiction than to build your own steamer. All
it takes is a few hours of your time and a little
imagination. Mind you, this steamer isn’t just
for oysters. You can steam corn, crabs, shrimp,
tamales, and many more tasty things by the
bushel, I even use it to steam can bulk batches
of acidic foods like I would with the water bath
method. Oysters should be done by the peck
as by the time the top ones are done, the bottom
ones are a mite dry.
Harryumphlettiii@gmail.com
1197 US Highway 17 South, Elizabeth City NC
All you need is a steel 55 gallon drum ($15-
$20), a fish cooker ($29-$39 at Bass Pro), a
spare top for a 55 gallon steel drum ($5), , and
the all stainless tub out of a washing machine
($10-$15 at a local scrap appliance place). The
tools and hardware needed are a drill, a grinder
with a cutting wheel, and 1/4 20 bolts and nuts.
First, you take your grinder and cut at the
bottom of the top rib of the 55 gallon drum. This
will give you the base of your steamer. Place
the top piece upside down on your your work
bench. Remove the legs from your fish cooker
and set them aside. Using your drill with 1/4”
drill bit, secure the burner to the upside down
base of your steamer with a 1/4 20 bolt and
nut. Using your grinder, cut (6 -8) 2 inch by 3
inch ventilation holes around the bottom of your
base on the sides. Run the gas hose out one of
the holes. Measure the height of your stainless
steel washing machine drum and the depth of
the remaining portion of the 55 gallon drum.
Subtract the stainless steel washing machine
height from the depth of the remaining portion
of the 55 gallon drum and subtract an additional
inch. Using this measurement, cut the legs of
the fish cooker that you set aside to this size
and set them in the drum. Sit the washing machine
drum on them, place the remaining part
of the barrel on top of the base, add water to
the top part and place the spare 55 gallon steel
drum lid on top, hook up the cooker to the gas
bottle and test it.
OpenMonday-Saturday
There are so many uses for this steamer.
Don’t restrict yourself to just oysters, use your
imagination and the possibilities are endless.

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity would like
to thank B&M Contractors for their generous
donation of an HVAC system for our new
house. This mini-split system should keep our
new partner family comfortable for many years
to come while saving them money on their
utility bills.
Thanks also to the Albemarle Area Association
of REALTORS for their $4000 donation to cover
the costs of plumbing installation and to H&H
Electrical for their donation of the electrical
work.
Site preparation is expected to begin shortly,
and we are still looking for businesses and individuals
who would like to donate to help with
this project.
We recently incurred two unexpected expenses.
There is a new $6000 sewer and water impact
fee for all new construction in the city. We
were unaware of this new charge and we are
soliciting donations to help make up this cost.
In addition, the City’s weatherization program
funds for insulation were also cut this year.
Insulation costs $4000.
We are still looking for donations and/or sponsors
for: foundation materials (concrete blocks,
sand, concrete), windows, doors, siding, sheetrock,
insulation, cabinets, hardware, tubs and
bathroom fixtures.
Habitat for Humanity relies on volunteers and
donations to keep our costs down. Every donation,
no matter how small, will help us construct
this home for our new partner family. If you or
your business would like to make a donation or
help at our jobsite, please contact Jane Elfring,

Guitar Tech Talk
Gibson Guitar is an American manufacturer of guitars,
other musical instruments, and professional audio from
Kalamazoo, Michigan, and now based in Nashville,
Tennessee.
Orville Gibson started making instruments in 1894 and
founded the company in 1902 as the “Gibson Mandolin-Guitar
Mfg. Co. Ltd.” in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to make
mandolin-family instruments. Gibson invented arch-top
guitars by constructing the same type of carved, arched
tops used on violins. By the 1930s, the company was
also making flattop acoustic guitars, as well as one of the
first commercially available hollow-body electric guitars,
used and popularized by Charlie Christian.
Gibson sells guitars under a variety of brand namesand
builds one of the world’s most iconic guitars, the Gibson
Les Paul. Gibson was at the forefront of innovation in
acoustic guitars, especially in the big band era of the
1930s; the Gibson Super 400 was widely imitated. In
1952, Gibson introduced its first solid-body electric guitar,
the Les Paul, which became its most popular guitar to
date— designed by a team led by Ted McCarty.

Using Your Noodle - Soba Noodles
By Rosie Hawthorne
It's not just another wave,
Sometimes in the simplest dishes, we find the most complex flavors. Such
is the case with soba noodles. Soba noodles, a staple of Japanese cooking,
are made from buckwheat, which is a relative of rhubarb and sorrel.
Despite the name, buckwheat is not related to wheat, so soba noodles are
a good gluten-free substitute for regular durum wheat-based pasta. Some
soba noodles will have wheat flour added to the buckwheat, along with
other additives, so if you’re going gluten-free, check the labels.
Soba noodles, as opposed to boxed store-bought pasta, actually have flavor.
And that flavor is not cardboard. Soba noodles are earthy and nutty
and have a slightly chewy texture - firm but yielding.
it's an experience.

outerbankswave.com
For more recipes, tours of my garden, and the
occasional travelogue, please visit
with Rosie at
KitchensAreMonkeyBusiness.com.
For any culinary questions, e-me at
Rosie Hawthorne@gmail.com.
Cook the noodles according to package directions as timing will vary from
brand to brand. Since I’m adding a seasoned sauce to the noodles, I don’t
bother to salt the cooking water. You want to cook the noodles al dente
(“to the tooth”) - tender, but retaining their chew. Drain the noodles, then
rinse under cold water to stop further cooking and to remove the excess
sticky surface starch in order to keep the noodles separate and to avoid
clumping.

8 oz. soba noodles
1 lb. scallops
1 cup frozen peas, heated through (Please
don’t use canned peas.)
2 scallions, sliced
½ cucumber, diced
handful of toasted peanuts
1 TB toasted sesame seeds
Fresh mint leaves
Peanut oil
2 TB unsalted butter
Sauce
2 TB ginger juice
¼ cup lime juice
1 TB soy sauce (Tamari sauce for gluten-free.)
1 tsp sesame oil
Mix all ingredients.
To cook scallops: Over medium high
heat, pour a film of peanut oil into a skillet
and add a tablespoon of butter. When
the butter is sizzling (about 375°) add the
scallops one at a time. (These are large
sea scallops - 10 to a pound.) Cook for
2 minutes each side, then remove from
pan. Reduce heat, pour in sauce, scraping
up the goodie bits on the bottom, and
stir for about a minute to reduce and concentrate
flavors, then add a tablespoon
of butter for enrichment. Swirl to melt.
Plate noodles with scallops, add rest of
ingredients, and pour sauce over top.
Enjoy!

For ginger juice, I buy whole gingerroot, then
cut into 1-inch cubes and freeze. When a
recipe calls for the juice, I simply nuke the
cubes and squeeze or run through a garlic
press. You’ll get more juice this way than
with fresh ginger.

Victory Gardens By Alice B. Yeager Reprinted with permissions from Backwoods Home Magazine Issue #54 • November/December, 1998
There have been very few times in our nation’s history
when “We, the people” have banded together so fiercely
as we did during World War II. We were united in our effort
to bring about a successful end to the global conflict and we
went about it with utmost dedication. Everyone had someone—husband,
sweetheart, relative, friend, neighbor—who
was in the armed services. Many of us who remained at
home were employed in the defense industry, but no matter
where we worked we were all supportive of the war effort.
A variety of peppers—some spicy, some not— provide wonderful
flavor for all sorts of dishes from salads to salsa.
Certain foods were rationed, as well as tires and gasoline.
We had our shoes repaired and we forgot about buying new
cars. Most of us depended on crowded buses and trains to
get to wherever we wanted to go. A sense of pride swept
over us every time we heard our national anthem or saw our
flag displayed. Patriotism spilled over into every facet of our
lives. Food gardens weren’t merely “gardens.” They were
Victory Gardens! We were urged to grow as much as we
could, and a pantry filled with home-canned vegetables was
something to be proud of. The home front’s frugality made
it possible to ship much needed food supplies overseas to
support our troops.
Anyone who had space to grow anything in the food line
got out his gardening tools and laid out rows for a garden.
Some of the folks, who couldn’t do much actual gardening,
managed to prepare “V” shaped plots on their front lawns
and fill them with bright colored flowers. V for victory! On
many porches there were large pots of red, white, and blue
petunias. Anywhere you looked, someone was doing his
part to show support for the war effort. Even lawns of public
buildings had special flower beds designed to remind passers-by
of our team effort.
Now it doesn’t seem so important to hawk the virtues of the
Victory Gardens. We’re not at war and there are supermarkets
brimming over with every kind of produce imaginable
and from every country on earth. We used to enjoy local
fruits and vegetables during their seasons. Now we may
have almost anything we want at any time of year. Abundance
is ours.
Let’s not forget to protect our garden friends such as this
green tree frog who makes his livelihood devouring insects.
No pesticides please.
Despite the overwhelming amount of produce available,
the fact stands out that a great deal of this produce cannot
measure up to the great taste of the things we harvest from
our own kitchen gardens. With every mile produce is hauled,
flavor is sacrificed. What is it they say about sweet corn? To
enjoy peak flavor, run as fast as you can to the kitchen with
your fresh ears of corn. Strip away the shucks and silks and
drop the clean ears into a pot of boiling water. Cover and
let simmer five to seven minutes. Then remove to a plate,
dribble with butter, season with salt and pepper if you like,
and enjoy. No loss of flavor here!
And what about those bargain-priced bins of green beans
often seen at odd times in the produce markets? A complete
waste of time and money if you’re looking for flavor. If flavor
is missing, you can bet something else has slipped away
too.
To go back to the Victory Garden idea may not be a bad
thing. We can certainly have some personal victories over
our choice of food supplies and we can enjoy varieties of
home grown produce never seen in markets. We also know
we’re getting food that is free of pesticides.
One of the first requirements for the Victory Garden was
a load of “well-rotted barnyard manure” which was spread
over the garden plot, dug in and allowed to rest for several
weeks prior to planting. Depending on the severity of the climate,
some gardeners also applied a thick coating of mulch.
The well-rotted barnyard manure may not be as available
today in some areas as it was during the forties and before.
However, some of the best fertilizer to be found comes from
chicken houses where litter is cleaned out after every flock
is sent to market. Poultry manure is twice as valuable as
cow manure on the basis of nutrients contained. Gardeners
need to be aware of what is available locally at a reasonable
cost. County Extension agents are often a good source of
information as they are in touch with their agricultural communities.
A well balanced soil should not be dependent on the usage
of a lot of chemicals or soil additives. Unfortunately, since
World War II we seem to have drifted toward dependency on
chemicals. We use them to enhance production, kill weeds,
fight off intruders, eliminate bugs, and on and on. When I
walk into the chemical section of a gardening supply house,
I often wonder how the employees survive their place of employment
and, usually, no one is wearing a protective mask.
This is a far cry from a load of well-rotted manure.
Mixed vegetables—squash, peppers, tomatoes, beans, and
sprigs of sweet basil—promise real culinary treats.
Recently a lady told me she has some friends who give her
cucumbers. “They’re perfect looking, but they taste bitter.
Do you know what causes them to be bitter?” I told her my
guess is that the growers are using a commercial fertilizer. I
have never tasted an organically grown cucumber that was
bitter.
A good compost pile is one of the best friends a gardener
can have, and it’s not difficult to start. Just select a convenient
spot accessible to the garden and enclose a space
about four-feet by four-feet with some type of fencing that
will keep the compost contained and provide good air circulation.
Have an easy side opening so you may occasionally
stir or turn over the pile. Start putting in kitchen waste (egg
shells, vegetable peelings, wilted flowers, etc., but no meat
scraps), lawn trimnings, leaves—anything organic. Avoid
any grass or weeds that have gone to seed as you don’t
want to spread a crop of gremlins every time you use the
compost on your garden plot.
A shredder is a very useful machine to have to aid in pulverizing
shrubbery and vine clippings, rose trimmings, and
all manner of small greenery. The smaller the particles, the
sooner they will decompose into that black gold known as
compost. Along with the compost will come earthworms.
When the latter appear, welcome them with a dance around
the compost bin. Who cares what the neighbors think. This
is a type of victory in itself.
Here in southwest Arkansas (Zone 8), as in many places,
we gardeners are lucky enough to be able to garden almost
all year long. We have cool season gardens when we grow
many types of greens, onions, radishes, etc. During the
summer a greater number of vegetables may be grown.
One of our most anticipated summertime treats is a salad
made from our homegrown vegetables—tomatoes, onions,
sweet peppers, cucumbers—all cut in chunks and ready for
a favorite salad dressing. Personally, I prefer a bit of plain
mayonnaise as it doesn’t detract from the wonderful fresh
flavors of the veggies.
Exit supermarket. Victory is ours.

The Bible and Self Defense
by Dr. Richard Seim
Reprinted with permission from the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network Inc.
In 2008, as we were launching the members’ journal, we
were pleased to publish an in-depth multi-part series
about the Bible, believers and the issue of self defense, with
a look at the concerns that may cause individual Christians,
as well as congregations, to seek out defense strategies and
provisions. This lengthy topic was covered over the course
of June 2008 to October 2008; we break it up into five chapters
here, each chapter representing the columns that we
published monthly originally in the membership journal.
Chapter 1
One after another we hear reports of shootings at this
school or at this university or at this shopping mall or at this
church. Do you remember when churches were considered
places of “sanctuary?” They were kept unlocked so you
could go in at any time and pray, meditate or just find a quiet
place. Even today when talking to someone about a church
burglary they often respond in surprise, “they would do that
to a church?”
In an article dated March 5, 2008, WorldNetDaily listed the
following church shootings:
• (December 9, 2007): After killing two people at a Christian
training center in Arvada, Colo., 24-year-old Matthew
Murray went to Colorado Springs intending more murder
and mayhem. Murray shot and killed two girls in the New
Life Church’s parking lot, then headed inside the building
where thousands of worshippers were concluding a service.
• Aug. 12, 2007: A lone gunman, Eiken Elam Saimon,
opened fire in a Missouri Micronesian church, killing a pastor
and two other churchgoers.
• May 20, 2007: A standoff between police and a suspect
in the shootings of three people in a Moscow, Idaho, Presbyterian
church ended with three dead, including one police
officer.
• Although not at a church building, the Oct. 2, 2006,
attack in Lancaster County, Pa., by a gunman who killed
five girls and then himself at an Amish school targeted a
religious site.
• May 21, 2006: Louisiana. Four were killed by a man at
Jesus Christ Church.
• Feb. 26, 2006: Michigan. Two people were killed at Zion
Hope Missionary Baptist Church by a man who reportedly
went to the church looking for his girlfriend.
• April 9, 2005: A 27-year-old airman died after being shot
at a church in College Park, Ga., where he had once worked
as a security guard.
• March 12, 2005: A man walked into the services of the
Living Church of God in Milwaukee and open fired immediately,
killing seven people.
• Oct. 5, 2003: A woman opened fire in Turner Monumental
AME church in Kirkwood, east of Atlanta, killing the pastor
and two others.
• Sept. 16, 1999: Seven young people were killed when
a man opened fire during a prayer service for teens at the
Wedgewood Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas.
So what’s a church to do? Many churches today are concerned
with their purpose and message being culturally
relevant. What about the security of the people who attend?
As more and more churches are attacked, will churches become
more “culturally relevant” in their approach to security?
One student who attended a handgun class I taught told
me the reason she and her husband were there. Early on
a Saturday morning (around 2 a.m.) someone began trying
to kick their apartment door down to apparently gain entry.
She and her husband called 911 and then went to the door
and began yelling back. Her husband turned to her and said,
“If this guy gets in, what are we going to defend ourselves
with, a spoon?” So, my question to a church is this: “If one of
those crazies comes to your church, what are you going to
defend yourself with, an offering plate?”
For the Church and the church-goer, it becomes foundational
to see what the Bible says on the subject.
Central to understanding what approach a church should
take is the basic nature of man as revealed in Scripture.
There are those in Christendom who espouse the basic
goodness of all mankind. This view sees every person as
basically good and, given the chance, people will choose
what is right and good. But the Scripture teaches that man,
although created good, made some bad choices and hence,
continues to make bad choices and those bad choices
come from his very core, “… there is none righteous, not
even one,” and “for all have sinned…” (Romans 3:10b, 23a
NASB).
For instance, I did all within my power to teach my children
to always tell the truth. I never taught or encouraged them
to lie. I was even careful to reward them for doing what was
right. And yet, from time to time they lied to me without being
taught to lie. I am sure you can think of more examples like
that, just like I can.
What a church (or an individual Bible-believer) decides to do
about security when dealing with a crazed person has much
to do with their concept of how mankind is wired. If one goes
into this with the idea that man can be talked out of the evil
intent of his heart toward those he is getting ready to kill,
then the decision is probably to do nothing and hope for the
best.
On the other hand if you believe that someone intent on
doing evil to you is probably going to do it no matter what
you say or do, then your decision is to put some carefully
considered plan for security in place. Because of the culture
in which we live, to be culturally relevant in this instance, is
to have some kind of security in place.
The shooter at the Colorado Springs church was not going
to be talked out of his intentions. He killed two people the
night before. Church leadership showed wonderful foresight
and increased their security. In this case, the increased security
was volunteers. For most churches security will most
likely depend on volunteers.
In order to gain a balanced view of what the Bible says,
we will look at both the Old and New Testaments. Some
might suggest that the Old Testament is no longer relevant.
Jesus Christ made it clear that it is, indeed, relevant, “Do
not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I
did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you,
until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter
or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished”
(Matthew 5:17-18 NASB). So next, we will explore what the
Bible teaches on this issue.

Mount Vintage Golf Club – A One of a Kind Golf Experience
Mount Vintage Golf Club is part of the Mount Vintage
community, a well-established, private community
which encompasses 2,000 acres of gently rolling terrain,
with centuries of history that can be traced back to Native
American tribes. Careful planning has gone into the community
in an effort to enhance the natural beauty and tranquility
of the surrounding area.
Mount Vintage is home to discerning people who appreciate
a quiet, yet fun-filled lifestyle. The Town Center and
Athletic Club complex is the heartbeat of the community.; it’s
a place where well-being and social engagement work hand
in hand as residents taking part in a plethora of social and
physical activities. A Junior Olympic sized pool, 6 Har-Tru
lighted tennis courts, two bocce courts and a fitness center
provide residents with plenty of options. Inside, you’ll find a
plethora of clublike activities: Book Club, Garden Club and a
Bridge Club just to name a few.
As far as golf is concerned, Mount Vintage Golf Club is
a semi-private club that will rival any club in the area. With
27 holes, Mount Vintage can be played as three distinctly
different 18-hole courses. Mount Vintage offers golfers a
superior golfing experience, due in part to the club’s high
maintenance standards and an extreme attention to detail.
The course originally opened in 2000 and was designed
by renowned golf course architect Tom Jackson. Jackson
was able to use the unique topography of the area and the
lush tree cover to create a golf course that can be enjoyed
by players of all abilities. With five sets of tees, each hole is
challenging and memorable, from your opening tee shot to
your final putt. You’ll find lush Bermuda fairways and roughs
and Champion Bermuda greens accented by stacked stone
bridges and walls reminiscent of Augusta National. Golf legend
Byron Nelson once referred to Mount Vintage Golf Club
as a “magnificent layout.”
The Chester nine was the front nine of the original 18-hole
layout that opened in 2000. Chester is the highest rated
of the three nines, primarily because each hole is a challenge
on its own. Chester greets you with rolling fairways,
well bunkered green complexes, and putting surfaces that
will test the best of putters. As you play the Chester nine
you can’t help but be taken aback by the beauty of the golf
course; not only in the elevation changes but the sheer
design of each hole. But don’t let its good looks fool you;
this course has some bite. The 9th hole is a par 5 that
plays downhill off the tee, with a creek that runs through
the fairway that has to be dealt with at some point. Once
you clear the creek, it’s all uphill to a large, well-protected
green. Consider taking an extra club on your approach shot
to compensate. As you walk off the green, you’ll understand
why this nine is the favorite!
The Vintage nine also opened in 2000 and was back nine
on the original 18 hole layout. Of the three nine-hole layouts,
Vintage plays the longest. Although you’ll experience
elevation changes on all three courses, those on Vintage
are the most dramatic. Eight of the 9 holes have either a
downhill or uphill shot of at least 30 feet - a couple have
both – which forces you to give a little more thought to your
club selection. A rangefinder with a slope feature can be a
valuable tool! The three holes that make their way around
Pavilion Lake - holes 5, 6, and 7- could all be categorized as
signature holes on the Vintage Nine and have been referred
to as the “Amen Corner” of Mount Vintage. Number 5 is a
par 4 that plays 387 yards, with a downhill tee shot. From
there, you’ll have an uphill approach shot across a finger of
the lake to a large green fronted by large, deep bunkers on
either side. Number 6 is a par 3 that requires a carry back
over the same lake. It plays slightly downhill to an elevated
green with bunkers in front and back and a large tree shadowing
the far-left side. You’ll have to cross the lake one last
time with your tee shot on the par 5, 7th hole. The fairway
slopes right to left and the farther up the top of the fairway
you can hit your tee shot, the farther you’ll be away from the
water and the more roll you’ll get. Large trees on the right
start to come into play on your layup shot but if you favor the
left side, you’ll take them out of play and leave a clear path
into a well undulated green protected in front by bunkers.
As you make your way back to the clubhouse after playing
the Vintage Nine, you’ll look back upon your round as quite
memorable, hopefully for all the right reasons!
The Independent nine was the last nine to be built at the
Mount Vintage Plantation Golf Club and opened in 2008.
Although the course has many of the same characteristics of
the original 18 holes, it is still a course all its own. Elevation
changes are evident from the moment you step on the 1st
tee, a dogleg left par 4 that plays downhill off the tee with a
lake on the left side of the landing area. Water comes into
play on 8 of the 9 holes, creating many risk/reward opportunities.
The 8th hole is a gorgeous par 3 that plays slightly
downhill, over a small lake to a triangular green. Locals
refer to it as the “Million Dollar Hole” and PGA.com has
recognized #8 as part of South Carolina’s Dream 18: Hidden
Gems. Nine is another favorite, a long par 5 hole that
requires an uphill layup shot followed by an uphill approach
into a green that is well guarded and extremely undulated.
The green has two tiers and is separated by a four ft. ridge,
so it is imperative to hit your approach to the right level.
Mount Vintage Golf Club has one of the most unique clubhouses
in the country. The center portion of the clubhouse
is a fully restored piedmont plantation house that dates
back to around 1840. It is flanked by two matching wings.
In its entirety, the complex includes a professionally staffed
pro shop, locker rooms and The Grille restaurant. Just out
the back door of the clubhouse is a state-of-the-art practice
facility with a full-length driving range and practice green.
The apparel selection in the Mount Vintage pro shop includes
a wide range of companies including Turtleson, Tail,
Straight Down, Foot-Joy, Titleist, Bridgestone, Callaway and
TaylorMade for both men and women. They also have a
good selection of hats, shoes, balls and accessories; everything
you’ll need to look and play your best.
The Grille at Mount Vintage is a great place to grab some
good food and drink. And it’s not just for those that are just
coming off the course; it’s not unusual to see locals and
businessmen from N. Augusta and Edgefield County enjoying
all that The Grille has to offer. The décor could be classified
as “rural elegance,” a beautiful glass lined dining terrace
loaded with Southern charm that promotes a relaxed atmosphere
and a unique dining experience. The furnishings are
comfortable and let you take the weight off your feet after
a busy day. Menus are updated monthly and offer a casual
twist on traditional American and Southern fares. Residents
of Mount Vintage as well as the public are invited to dine for
lunch and Sunday Breakfast. Popular events include “Thirsty
Thursdays,” which features weekly “spirit” specials from
3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The Grille is also available for private
intimate lunches, dinners, and parties and can accommodate
up to 75 guests. For larger events, there’s the Mount
Vintage Town Center which accommodates 150 guests.
With Mount Vintage Golf Club, what you see is what
you get. No pretentious members or glitterati trying to be
something they’re not. Just good, down to earth members
that realize that their country club is something special. The
camaraderie between members is evident once you set foot
inside the pro shop. David Usry and his staff are knowledgeable,
professional and know how to strike up a conversation
that focusses on you, the member. And, after playing the
course, you’ll see that Mount Vintage Golf Club is the kind
of country club you’d want to be a part of, with modern facilities,
great dining and fantastic golf.
Mount Vintage offers several membership classifications
for families and singles including Full Memberships with
unlimited golf privileges, Associate Membership, Social and

The (almost) 14th state to join the Union, the State of Franklin
In 1784, the State of Franklin declares its independence
from North Carolina. Did you know that a
state named Franklin could have been the 14th state?
After the American Revolution, North Carolina
stretched from the eastern seaboard all the way to the
Mississippi River. The western part of the state was
separated from the eastern part by a mountain range.
Especially given the travel difficulties of the day, you
can imagine that the westerners felt barely connected
to the eastern side of the state—and vice versa.
The North Carolina legislature didn’t really want to be
responsible for the western lands anymore, but legislators
didn’t want to lose an asset, either. The legislature
ended up passing an act known as the “Land Grab Act”
by which western lands were put on sale. Much of the
land was sold to legislators. Hmmm. Let’s just say that
some of the sales that resulted probably weren’t entirely
above board. Nevertheless, the state legislators
passed an act ceding all remaining lands to the federal
government. In return, the Confederation Congress
was supposed to accept, as valid, all the grants of land
that had already been made.
The cessation pushed three western counties into action.
On August 23, 1784, residents met and declared
themselves a new state named Franklin (for Benjamin
Franklin). For a time, things seemed to be working. A
by Tara Ross
state constitution was adopted and John Sevier was
elected as the first state governor. But then, unsurprisingly,
matters became complicated.
For one thing, Americans were in negotiations with
the Cherokee to determine who held which territory.
Unfortunately, the outcome of these negotiations
contradicted the outcome of Franklin’s negotiations.
Other clashes occurred between the state and federal
governments. Many Franklinites became tired of the
situation.
In the end, a man named John Tipton became head
of a movement to have Franklin reabsorbed back into
North Carolina. But Sevier continued to advocate for
the State of Franklin. At one point, Sevier even considered
getting Spain to annex the state! A skirmish—the
Battle of Franklin—brought matters to a head. Sevier
was at first arrested for treason, but by early 1789,
he had agreed to take an oath of allegiance to North
Carolina.
After Franklin was dissolved, North Carolina ceded
the land to the federal government. A few years later,
the new territory became the state of Tennessee. I
suppose Sevier got the last laugh?! He was elected as
Tennessee’s first governor in 1796.

Steve Jobs’s Unveiling of the iPhone Holds a Timeless Economic Lesson
The case for liberty is hidden in plain sight in our phones and a million other
things our lives depend on.
Steve Jobs was a great visionary. But just how far did his
vision extend? If you examine the history of the iPhone, it
turns out his vision didn’t extend as far as we might think.
In his book Digital Minimalism, computer science professor
Cal Newport reveals that the original vision Jobs had for the
iPhone was an iPod that could make calls. At the time, iPods
were ubiquitous; with the iPhone, you’d no longer need to
carry two devices—a phone and an iPod.
In his 2007 keynote introducing the iPhone, Jobs began
by saying, “Every once in a while, a revolutionary product
comes along that changes everything.” Apple aimed to make
the iPhone “way smarter than any mobile device has ever
been and stupid easy to use.” Listening to his talk, it’s clear
that Jobs had only a partial view of all that would change.
As Newport observes, Jobs thought he had built a better
iPod:
Accordingly, when Jobs demonstrated an iPhone onstage
during his keynote address, he spent the first eight minutes
of the demo walking through its media features, concluding:
“It’s the best iPod we’ve ever made!”
Newport points out that Jobs was also “enamored of the
simplicity with which you could scroll through phone numbers,
and the fact that the dial pad appeared on the screen
instead of requiring permanent plastic buttons.” “The killer
app is making calls,” Jobs exclaimed during his keynote.
At about 13 minutes into his presentation, Jobs introduced,
to tepid applause, a rear-facing camera. The first iPhone
had no video recording capability, and it was not until the iPhone
4 that a front-facing camera was introduced. No one in
the audience that day imagined the role smartphones would
play in the social media revolution.
Not until he was about 31 minutes into his presentation did
Jobs demo text messages. At about 36 minutes he highlighted,
to more tepid applause, the phone’s Safari web browser
and integration with Google Maps. In short, neither Jobs
nor the audience had the vision to anticipate what would
become the dominant uses for the phone.
Isn’t that extraordinary? Jobs was Apple’s greatest cheerleader.
He was said to “cast spells” on audiences, and yet
there was mere tepid applause for what was truly revolutionary—a
powerful minicomputer in a handheld device at a
fraction of the cost of a much larger device a mere generation
ago.
Fast forward a mere seven years. Bret Swanson noted that
“the computing power, data storage capacity, and communications
bandwidth of an iPhone in 2014 would have cost at
least $3 million back in 1991.”
Newport confirmed Jobs’s limited vision by speaking with
one of the iPhone’s developers:
To confirm that this limited vision was not some quirk of
Jobs’s keynote script, I spoke with Andy Grignon, who was
one of the original iPhone team members. “This was supposed
to be an iPod that made phone calls,” he confirmed.
“Our core mission was playing music and making phone
calls.” As Grignon then explained to me, Steve Jobs was
initially dismissive of the idea that the iPhone would become
more of a general-purpose mobile computer running a
variety of different third-party applications. “The second we
allow some knucklehead programmer to write some code
that crashes it,” Jobs once told Grignon, “that will be when
they want to call 911.”
We’ve Just Started
In his seminal work The Constitution of Liberty, Nobel
laureate F.A. Hayek challenges our assumptions about how
civilization develops:
Man did not simply impose upon the world a pattern created
by his mind. His mind is itself a system that constantly
changes as a result of his endeavor to adapt himself to his
surroundings. It would be an error to believe that, to achieve
a higher civilization, we have merely to put into effect the
ideas now guiding us. Hayek continued, “If we are to advance,
we must leave room for a continuous revision of our
present conceptions and ideals which will be necessitated
by further experience.”
Jobs probably never read Hayek, but shortly after 21
minutes into the presentation, Jobs wryly smiles and says,
“We’ve just started.”
Little did Jobs know.
Did Jobs direct consumers or did consumers direct Apple
as their use of text messaging and mobile browsing
began to dwarf the use of the iPhone as a better iPod?
Hayek explained that human reason cannot stand outside
of experience: The conception of man deliberately building
his civilization stems from an erroneous intellectualism
that regards human reason as something standing outside
nature and possessed of knowledge and reasoning capacity
independent of experience. “The mind can never foresee its
own advance” is one of Hayek’s most quoted lines. Hayek
adds, “Though we must always strive for the achievement of
our present aims, we must also leave room for new experiences
and future events to decide which of these aims will
be achieved.”
By: Barry Brownstein
Politicians Know Nothing of the Future
If Steve Jobs couldn’t imagine how the use of his iPhone
would morph, he was smart in learning from what users
would teach him. And if he were ever tempted to impose his
will, the 2008 introduction of Android with an open-source
operating system would have disabused him of such folly.
Android’s open-source operating system allowed for rapid
innovation.
Every day, evidence of how society advances is overlooked
by voters and politicians. Many people, voters and politicians
alike, imagine the mind can foresee its own advance. Voters
rally behind politicians claiming to know just what society
needs to advance and promising to lead us step-by-step into
their envisioned future. Little do voters understand how little
politicians can “foresee.”
The future is largely unforeseeable. For that reason, Hayek
explains, liberty is essential to advancing civilization:
Liberty is essential in order to leave room for the unforeseeable
and unpredictable; we want it because we have
learned to expect from it the opportunity of realizing many of
our aims. It is because every individual knows so little and,
in particular, because we rarely know which of us knows
best that we trust the independent and competitive efforts of
many to induce the emergence of what we shall want when
we see it. “We rarely know which of us knows best,” so why
would we want to vote for politicians who proclaim they do?
It is no shortcoming of Steve Jobs that he could not foresee
the advances made possible by the iPhone. Politicians
couldn’t even conceive of an iPhone.
Because each of us has a limited view of the future, Hayek
instructs us that “the case for individual freedom rests
chiefly on the recognition of the inevitable ignorance of all
of us concerning a great many of the factors on which the
achievement of our ends and welfare depends.”
Dee Hock, the legendary founding CEO of Visa, fostered
innovation to grow a global credit card company by decentralizing
control around simple rules. Hock led from this
belief: “From no more than dreams, determination, and the
liberty to try, quite ordinary people consistently do extraordinary
things.”
The case for liberty is hidden in
plain sight in our phones and
a million other things our lives
depend on.

Should You Talk to a Lawyer?
A Reality Check for Caregivers
More of us than ever before are providing essential
care to a loved one. Whether an aging parent,
disabled spouse or ailing friend, the demands are
overwhelming. As a caregiver, it is easy to lose your
perspective. What are realistic expectations for my
loved one?
My mom, Maria, is a recently retired attorney. She
practiced elder law in Fort Myers, Florida, for the past
35 years. If anyone should be prepared to care for
her 92-year-old mother (my grandmother) - it would be
my mom, right? Wrong. My grandmother suffers from
short-term memory loss. She is easily confused and disoriented.
My mother and her siblings kept saying, “She’ll
get better.” Unfortunately, with most memory problems
– including Alzheimer’s and dementia – the problem only
gets worse, not better. It is important for the family and
the caregiver to recognize that the situation is probably
not going to get better.
My neighbors, both in their mid-70s, have recently taken
Mrs. Jones, the 93-year old mother-in-law, into their
home. Mrs. Jones is recovering from hip replacement
surgery. Apparently, Mrs. Jones’ Medicare coverage has
ceased and she can no longer stay in rehabilitation. My
neighbors believe that in the next several months, Mrs.
Jones will recover sufficiently to move back home and
care for herself. Is it realistic to plan for Mrs. Jones to go
home and live independently?
It is difficult to look at these two situations objectively
when you are the caregiver. But the reality is – the situation
is most likely not going to improve. So, what are
your alternatives?
1. Start long term care planning, not stop-gap planning.
In my grandmother’s situation, no one wanted
by: Stella Knight
to admit that she (my grandmother) needed someone
(other than a family member) to stay with her 4-6 hours
a day. This person would assist my grandmother with
daily activities (shopping, cleaning, bathing, etc.) and
most importantly be sure that my grandmother was
eating. My mother had prepared many meals and taken
them to my grandmother’s home. Even though the
meals only needed to be reheated, they were always left
untouched. Sometimes the obvious short-term solution
just doesn’t work.
2. Get your loved one assessed by a professional.
Once a nurse or care manager has determined the level
of care your loved one requires, then you may consider
various alternatives. Whether your loved one is mobile
or not - may be the first criterion. Financial resources
will also influence the level of care you choose (in home
vs. nursing home).
3. Don’t take it personally. You are going to encounter
resistance from your loved one. But remember, you
can’t take it personally. You mom’s not mad at you.
She’s frustrated because she can’t do what she used to
do. Don’t argue or contradict your loved one. Change
the subject, or defuse the situation with humor.
4. Reach out for help. Contact a care manager, the
Alzheimer’s Association or a caregiver support group.
You are not the first person to have to deal with these
situations and many times advice from someone who
has gone through a comparable situation is helpful and
reassuring.

How to Get Rid of Office Politics & Start Fresh this School Year
By ‘ Chele Light, with Laura Bush Jenkins
Maybe you’ve found yourself scouring covers of slick
business magazines, assuming someone else’s
workplace is inherently better than yours.
Or maybe you feel like characters in the reality TV show
Undercover Boss who love what they do but are treated
badly.
In the midst of your situation, it’s possible to adjust your
thinking and set yourself up for the best. After all, your
work environment is like a second family. Your business
life can affect your home life and vice versa.
Consider what you can do to improve your work environment:
Know Your Company’s Mission & Procedures. Like a
college syllabus, written protocol gets people started
knowing what a career entails. Perhaps job descriptions
aren’t what they say they are. Remember written company
values have to be in your heart to make a difference.
Ask Questions When You See Poor Performance. If a
boss is doing everything he or she can, employees can
hold each other accountable. Life happens, even for
the most diligent worker, and checking in with someone
to show genuine concern goes a long way in reducing
tension.
Many workplaces offer life coaching resources to discuss
what’s going on and develop strategies to keep team
members accountable with peak performance.
Remember an environment of love on the front end acts
as a buffer when conflict arises.
Continue Performing Well Where You Are to Receive
Later. As you continue working on yourself, your circumstances
must change in some way at some point.
Defining yourself differently than gossip around you will
either enhance the environment or push you out of it into
a place more favorable.
If you work unto the best of your ability without trying
to get something, God or a Higher Power will bring you
to where you can create the sustainable environment
you want. Whether someone notices or not, you can do
impeccable work and find a solution.
Looking to create a synergistic work environment where
people thrive at their best? Ask ‘Chele about a free lunch

workplace.

Northeast North Carolina Family History - a murder... this time in Currituck...
By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com
have some early newspaper reports of murders in
I local counties to share. Please note errors are as
they were printed - spelling was not the issue in earlier
times as it is today. For ease of reading I have replaced
the “long s” (printed as an f) which was an archaic way
to spell an s, and (inst.) meant this month.
From the “New Jersey Herald” March 26, 1811, page 2
“FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD -- To the editor.
SIR, It is my unfortunate lot to communicate to you the
most horrid murder, perhaps, that was ever committed
in the United States. On Saturday, the 2nd of March,
(inst.) at the request of Mrs. Mary Connelly, of Currituck
county, N. C. widow of James Connelly, and daughter of
colonel John Williams of the same place, I carried her to
the house of Caleb Etheridge, sheriff of the same county,
who had sent her a message on the evening before,
to come and see him relative to receiving some property
she had bid off at the sheriff’s sale in September, 1809,
and which was the prior owner of the property, one William
Etheridge, forbid her taking away; in consequence
of which she was under the necessity of suing William
Etheridge for the property, in which suit she recovered a
judgment for the same at the last September term of the
supreme court; and now the sheriff wished her to come
and see something about receiving the property.
I took her in my chair accordingly to the sheriff’s. In
going to the sheriff’s we had to go by this William Etheridge’s
gate, which was 80 or 100 yards from the house;
but no person molested us as we passed by. When we
got to the sheriff’s he and Mr. Hillary Bell came back
with us towards William Etheridge’s, and as we came
together requested Mrs. Connelly to wait at William
Etehridge’s gate, and he would bring the property bid
off, and afterwards recovered at law, to her; but said at
the same time, if he could see a prospect of a compromise
in William Etheridge, he would send down to the
gate for us. We stopped at the gate accordingly, and
in a few minutes Hilary Bell came down and told Mrs.
Connelly that Mr. William Etheridge requested her to
come up to the house, and that he said he was willing to
deliver the property, but he said he did not request me
to come; I handed her out of the chair, and she went up
with Mr. Bell, and I remained at the chair.
There were a pair of draw bars about 12 or 15 yards
from William Etheridge’s door, so that Mrs. Connelly
went up to the bars; after standing there a minute or
two, Etheridge came out of his house with two guns,
one under his arm and the other in his right hand; he
ran to the fence and jumped over; and she discovering
the guns ran towards me, but he very quickly headed
her, and discharged one in his right hand at her as she
ran! But she not falling, he raised the other; instantly the
sheriff ran towards him, and he pointed at the sheriff,
and wheeled round and pursued the woman, and discharged
the contents at her back, when within ten feet
of her, while he was running and screaming; the shot
entered between her shoulders and in her breast. And
she instantly fell dead on her face, I believe in an instant;
for in the mean time when I saw the first gun fire,
I unbuttoned my great coat and took a pistol out of my
pocket, and when she received the second fire I went to
her in 20 or 30 seconds, and she was as dead as she
is now. He, as soon as he committed this direful deed,
ran off; the sheriff pursuing him to the fence, where he
jumped over and ran into the swamp, carrying with him
the last gun he had discharged, and has escaped.
Seldom has an event equally cruel and barbarous
with this transpired in the world. The laws of God profaned
in the most impious manner; the laws of society
most outrageously violated; and the laws of hospitality,
not only most cruely denied to a woman, but made the
cowardly decoy to take her life--’She who spotless stood
before God and man, and never in a word or deed
offended.’
There will be a considerable private reward given for
his apprehension, which is not yet ready for advertisement.”
LEONARD MARTIN Currituck county, March 5,
1810 (Note the date was most likely 1811 not 1810.)
From “The Star” (Raleigh, NC) May 3, 1811
“Etheridge of Currituck, the wretch who murdered Mrs.
Connelly, has not been apprehended and a reward of
450 dollars is offered by Col. Williams for his apprehension.”

advisor can review your employer-sponsored
retirement plan and help you determine how
to use it to your greatest advantage.

you’d like to help your children – or grandchildren
– go to college someday, you need to save
and invest early and often. A financial advisor
can suggest appropriate college savings vehicles
and strategies.
• Help make sure you’re well-protected – If
something were to happen to you, could your
family maintain its standard of living? Or if you
someday needed some type of long-term care,
such as an extended stay in a nursing home,
would you be able to maintain your financial

your adult children for help? A financial advisor
can recommend and possibly provide suitable

• Help you adjust your financial strategy – Not

encourage you not to change course, when,

While a financial advisor can help you in many
ways, you’ll need, above all else, to feel comfortable
with whomever you choose. Ultimately,
you’ll want to pick someone who understands
what’s important to you, and who will follow an
established process to create personalized
strategies and recommend specific actions
needed to help achieve your goals. And you’ll
want someone who will be with you in the long
run – someone who will revisit your objectives
and risk tolerance and who can adjust your strategies
in response to changes in your life.
A financial advisor can make a big difference in
your life. So, work diligently to find the right one
– and take full advantage of the help you’ll receive
as you move toward your important goals.

New Life of Currituck
by Pastor Dan Bergey
Road Kill
Lyrics by Ron Ben-Dov
Copyright 8/27/19, all rights reserved
Most conversations these days seem to stem from the current
political landscape we are observing. So, I thought
it might be helpful to share some thoughts from the book of
Proverbs in the Bible. Proverbs was written to help us gain
wisdom for avoiding struggles that want to trip us. Its goal is
to give the naive the ability to self-discipline in a very practical
way. The wisdom we gain is based on knowing and living for
Jesus. First let me break this down in the simplest of terms.
This article is not a political conversation but a human one.
Recently one of my grandchildren interviewed me for a school
writing project they had. One question they asked me was
“what are four valuable things you learned from your parents?”
This question brought me to Proverbs 14:30 “A tranquil heart
is life to the body, but passion is rottenness to the bones.”
My parents taught me to work hard and always be willing to
give to others. I highly value those things among others that
I learned at a very early age. You see the word passion here
means envy. My body will be wasted away, and my mind will
be bitter when I want something that someone else has or
pursue something that in the long run will hurt me. This is not
passion that responds to the needs of others that is called giving.
I don’t want to become cynical because there are a lot of
wonderful people in this world that still look out for others. But I
do think that there are takers and not givers. This verse clearly
speaks of the effects of these two different people. To one the
effect is worry along with the pursuit of seeking something that
someone else has. There is a phrase that is often used to describe
this it is “Keeping up with the Jones”. The effects on the
other group is having a tranquil heart. It is being content with
what you have and sharing with others what you can. Please

A Non-Profit Outdoor Ministry!
As the sun rose above the trees,
I sat in the duck blind watching the reflection appear on the water,
The decoys set in place,
The distant sounds of geese; tundra swan and ducks,
Minutes before the sky would come to life,
I thought of God’s Creation.
As I sat in the deer stand overlooking a tree where a buck had rubbed,
The leaves falling and glistening from the frost,
The sounds of a squirrel rustling on the ground,
A cardinal sitting on a limb,
I thought of God’s Creation.
What a magnificent opportunity and creation God has given each of us to
enjoy. We are called the SOUL HUNTERS; a nonprofit outdoor organization
that uses God’s great outdoors to reach out to other outdoor enthusiasts.
We are committed to worshipping God and proclaiming the good
news of Jesus Christ. We offer all types of activities and events throughout
the year. Follow us on Facebook at FOL Sportsmen Ministry to see
upcoming & happening events.
understand I am not saying you cannot accumulate wealth or
possessions but rather understand where they came from and
what they are to be used for. I am thankful that I was taught
that the world does not revolve around me and that I am only a
caretaker for a short period of time for what I have been given.
May we learn to share wisdom, experience, and yes even financial
blessings with others. If you are willing to do that, I am
sure you will be able to live with a tranquil heart.

I was out late last night, after midnight, it was
When I ran into the devil and his boys
We partied late and we partied hard
Kept it going until just before the sunrise
As the party ended, they offered me a ride
The devil was the driver, we piled into the back
Satan hit the gas and that truck took off
He drove like a bat from hell
He took the turns full speed, first left and then right
Then blew thru three stop signs and twelve traffic lights
I held on with all I had, but it wasn’t near enough
I fell out the truck and landed hard upon the road
I learned a lesson, painfully and sure
If you ride with the devil, you’re going to wind up,
Road kill!

Albemarle Eye Center
Top 10 Tips to Save Your Vision
by: Kierstan Boyd
More than 20 million Americans suffer from severe
vision loss. While not all eye diseases can be
prevented, there are simple steps that everyone can
take to help their eyes remain healthy now and reduce
their chances of vision loss in the future. Here are the
top 10 tips from the American Academy of Ophthalmology
(AAO.org) to safeguard your vision:
1. Wear sunglasses: UV blocking sunglasses delay the
development of cataracts, since direct sunlight hastens
their formation. Sunglasses prevent retinal damage;
they also protect the delicate eyelid skin to prevent
both wrinkles and skin cancer around the eye, and
both cancerous and non-cancerous growths on the
eye. Check for 100 percent UV protection: Make sure
your sunglasses block 100 percent of UV-A rays and
UV-B rays.
2. Don’t smoke: Tobacco smoking is directly linked
to many adverse health effects, including age-related
macular degeneration (AMD). Studies show that
current smokers and ex-smokers are more likely to
develop AMD than people who have never smoked.
Smokers are also at increased risk for developing
cataracts.
3. Eat right: Vitamin deficiency can impair retinal function.
The belief that eating carrots improves vision has
some truth, but a variety of vegetables, especially leafy
green ones, should be an important part of your diet.
Researchers have found people on diets with higher
levels of vitamins C and E, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin,
omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are less likely to
develop early and advanced AMD.
4. Baseline eye exam: Adults with no signs or risk
factors for eye disease should get a baseline eye disease
screening at age 40 — the time when early signs
of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
Based on the results of the initial screening, an ophthalmologist
will prescribe the necessary intervals for
follow-up exams. Anyone with symptoms or a family
history of eye disease, diabetes or high blood pressure
should see an ophthalmologist to determine how
frequently your eyes should be examined.
5. Eye protection: An estimated 2.5 million eye
injuries occur in the U.S. each year, so it is critical
to wear proper eye protection to prevent eye injuries
during sports such as hockey and baseball and
home projects such as home repairs, gardening, and
cleaning. For most repair projects and activities around
the home, standard ANSI-approved protective eyewear
will be sufficient. Sports eye protection should
meet the specific requirements of that sport; these requirements
are usually established and certified by the
sport’s governing body and/or the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM).
6. Know your family history: Many eye diseases cluster
in families, so you should know your family’s history
of eye disease because you may be at increased risk.
Age-related eye diseases, including cataracts, diabetic
retinopathy, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration
are expected to dramatically increase — from
28 million today to 43 million by the year 2020.
7. Early intervention: Most serious eye conditions,
such as glaucoma and AMD, are more easily and successfully
treated if diagnosed and treated early. Left
untreated, these diseases can cause serious vision
loss and blindness. Early intervention now will prevent
vision loss later.
8. Know your eye care provider: When you go to get
your eyes checked, there are a variety of eye care providers
you might see. Ophthalmologists, optometrists
and opticians all play an important role in providing
eye care services to consumers. However, each has
a different level of training and expertise. Make sure
you are seeing the right provider for your condition or
treatment. Ophthalmologists are specially trained to
provide the full spectrum of eye care, from prescribing
glasses and contact lenses to complex and delicate
eye surgery.
9. Contact lens care: Follow your ophthalmologist’s instructions
regarding the care and use of contact lenses.
Abuse, such as sleeping in contacts that are not
approved for overnight wear, using saliva or water as
a wetting solution, using expired solutions, and using
disposable contact lenses beyond their wear can result
in corneal ulcers, severe pain and even vision loss.
10. Be aware of eye fatigue: If you have eye strain
from working at a computer or doing close work, you
can follow the 20-20-20 rule: Look up from your work
every 20 minutes at an object 20 feet away for twenty
seconds. If eye fatigue persists, it can be a sign of
several different conditions, such as dry eye, presbyopia,
or spectacles with lenses that are not properly
centered. See an ophthalmologist to determine why
you are having eye fatigue and to receive proper
treatment.
“In this modern jazz, they heard something rebel and nameless that spoke for
them, and their lives knew a gospel for the first time. It was more than a music;
it became an attitude toward life, a way of walking, a language and a costume;
and these introverted kids (emotional outcasts of a war they had been
too young to join, or in which they had lost their innocence), who had never
belonged anywhere before, now felt somewhere at last.”
