Pesky Mold Issues? Get the Dream Team and Advice You Need for your
Home & Office Safety By Laura Bush Jenkins
Every day, we connect with people who can’t afford
to relocate, delay running a business, or sink money
into a building because of gross, unsightly mold.
We’ve seen how it can be confusing and emotionally
draining to figure out things on your own. Before
meeting us, some clients were ready to walk away since
deadlines, historic preservation requirements, or lending
stipulations seemed too daunting.
The good news is there are proven, environmentally
friendly ways to remove mold and keep it away without
spending down precious resources.
Dwelling Management Solutions (DMS) is certified to
treat and restore mold-affected areas while guaranteeing
work through warranties, treatment certificates, and
follow up checks.
Not only is our work highly targeted, but we collaborate
with a dream team of home improvement professionals
to make your life easier. Imagine the time you get back
when you don’t have to worry about scrolling endlessly
through generic websites or making endless cell phone
calls on an already busy day.
come again, we recommended a highly-skilled custom
roofer and gutter specialist to review the situation and
add expertise and value.
In today’s deadline-driven real estate and property management
space, we’ve been known to work into the night
if that’s what required.
Our team felt surprised and flattered recently when a
satisfied client even asked us to be their new general
contractor. We politely declined, but will not apologize
for our assertive implementation which caused him to
rethink what was possible.
Our highly supervised team is chosen for their strong
accountability. Whether we are talking to FEMA representatives
on your behalf or coming back to your house
for a follow up inspection, DMS is a sounding board empowering
you to make crucial decisions for your family
and your health.

Dirt track racing appeared in the
South just prior to World War I.
When the N.C. State Fair moved
to its present site in 1928, the increasingly
popular sport came with
it. As a premier venue with access
to fairgoers from across the state,
the speedway boosted the racing

The half-mile track has only seen
three NASCAR events in its history.
The first was held in 1955, but
was called due to rain while Junior
Johnson was leading. The next one
was fourteen years later in 1969,
which James Hylton won. The last
was the 1970 event, though the
grandstand remains and sections
of the old track are used each
October.
Safety concerns were the main
reason more modern, paved tracks
replaced their dirt counterparts, the
remains of some of the old ones
still dot the Carolinas, with saplings
poking through the stands and
undergrowth overtaking sites where
stock car racing had its start.

Last time I mentioned that the human body has 12
major systems. It starts with digestion.
These systems are extremely sophisticated and nuanced,
and it starts with what you consume.
Let’s do a refresher. Essential nutrients include: Water,
the most abundant substance is necessary for the
movement of nutrients to the cells. Your water should be
supplemented with anti-oxidants, anti-aging and anticancer
additives. Multitask your water.
Protein is the second most abundant molecule and is
necessary for many functions including ,DNA replication,
providing structure to cells, and organizes components
of body tissue, such as muscle,hair,collagen, enzymes
and antibodies, and is an energy fuel source. NON MEAT
PROTEIN is by far the best source in our polluted environment.
Carbohydrates, are necessary as a fuel source, in that
it’s converted to glucose and supplied for quick energy to
every cell in your body, including your brain. The carbs
should be unrefined, and contain at least 4% dietary
fiber, anything less ,will be detrimental to your health. Dietary
fiber should always exceed total fat, in the nutrition
facts panel.
Fats, are the 3rd fuel source. Fatty acids, a component
of fats, are the major source of stored energy, and tissue
development.
Your essential nutrients should be of the highest quality,
and you should avoid synthetic substances for your
systems to function at their efficient best. Anything less
than optimum efficiency diminishes your quality of life,
and it gets worse as you age.
I had an interesting conversation regarding dairy. So, I’ll
rehash. In 1993 the FDA approved rBGH (recombinant
bovine growth hormone) to be marketed to the dairy

industry to increase milk production in cows. A side effect
of the synthetic hormone is increased antibiotic use.
Antibiotics are used therapeutically for the inflammation
caused by additional milking, and sub-therapeutically to
fatten the animal, leading to increased antibiotic residues
in dairy. In addition,epidemiologist are taking a serious
look at IGF-1,in milk from rBGH treated cows. Early
studies are indicating a relationship between elevated
blood levels of IGF-1, and the development of prostate
and breast cancer. We’ll explore that link in depth as
more data is released. In many instances consumption
of dairy causes discomfort and as aforementioned could
cause certain cancers.
Finally, since the United States no longer leads in pork
production (China is the leading pork producer in the
world), and therein, lies my concerns. April , 2008, in
a press release by APHIS (Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service) 9 CFR part 166, titled - Swine Health
Protection: Feeding of Processed Product to Swine.
The release states that the rule regarding the treatment
of garbage that consist of industrially processed materials
makes clear that garbage fed to swine has been
treated to inactivate disease organisms that pose a risk
to the U.S. Swine industry. China’s pork production is
considered equal to the U.S. The U.S. No longer has
a law requiring Country Of Origin Labeling (congressionally
initiated 2009 and congressionally rescinded
2016). China’s quality control leaves a lot to be desired,
particularly during the tariffs. All very curious. Can’t wait
until the “Beyond Meat” industry gets rolling. Should be
quick,since they’re underwritten by major meat industry
players.
Next time we’ll go into detail of the importance of fiber, vitamin
C, and omega 3, three of my favorite supplements.
You are what you eat.

Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair
T
he 61st Annual Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair is slated
for October 25, 26 and 27, 2019, at the Knobbs
Creek Recreation Center in Elizabeth City, NC.
The Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair is one of the oldest
juried craft shows in North Carolina featuring members
of the Albemarle Craftsman’s Guild. During this threeday
show, visitors will have the opportunity to visit over
60 Craftsmen who will be selling their quality hand-crafted
items as well as demonstrating the creation of their
wares. From quilting to leatherwork, woodwork, pottery,
glass, basket weaving and beautiful handcrafted jewelry,
you will find it all at this unique show.
The mission of the Albemarle Craftsman’s Guild is to
organize artisans and those interested in fine handcrafts
for the following purposes: To maintain and improve the
quality of crafts produced and sold, to encourage original
design, and to promote the continuation and authentic
reproduction of earlier crafts.
For more than half a century, hundreds of artisans have
supported that mission by providing a wide range of fine
traditional and modern handcrafts to the public through
the Albemarle Craftsman’s Guild’s annual Albemarle
Craftsman’s Fair, thereby maintaining a heritage of fine
craftsmanship in Elizabeth City, NC.
The Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair is sponsored by the
Albemarle Craftsman’s Guild, Inc, Albemarle Area ECA
and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.
This event is totally operated by the members and community
volunteers, but it continues to have educational
support from the Extension when needed.
The Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair was born in 1959
through the join efforts of area craftsmen, the Agricultural
Extension Service, and the Elizabeth City Chamber
of Commerce. The first of the annual events was held
in the Dr. Pepper Building in Elizabeth City. Extension
agents planned and directed the Fairs until 1963, when
trained artisans assumed leadership roles. That same
year, the North Carolina legislature visited the Fair,
arriving by bus; and in 1967, Fair members were invited
to display their crafts at the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, DC. The Fair is unique in that it all participating
artisans are required to demonstrate some aspect
of their craft on site during the show.
In 1965, the Albemarle Craftsman’s Guild was organized
to improve the quality of crafts produced and sold, to
encourage original designs, to promote the continuation
of earlier crafts and to encourage authentic reproduction
of earlier crafts. These purposes continue today
Guild members are selected through a jury process and
continue to be challenged to further their development of
skills and creativity for the duration of their membership
in the organization. Current and past Guild participants
have ranged from 13 to 107 years of age and represent
all educational levels and walks of life. There is no age
or geographical limit to membership.
Through years of change, the Guild has maintained a
tradition of pride in workmanship; and the future of the
Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair is rooted in the idea that
quality is its own reward, and that beautiful creations
from skilled hands are timeless in value.
Make plans to visit the Albemarle Craftsman’s Fair this
October 25th, 26th and 27th. The show will be open on
Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 7 PM and on Sunday
from 10 AM to 5 PM. Admission is $5 for adults and $4
for students, senior citizens, members of the military
and groups of 10 or more. The admission fee includes
a weekend pass to this unique craft show. Food will be
provided on-site by Circle II Restaurant of Elizabeth City.

As fall approaches, many trees are in full production
of nuts, which will pave the way to produce
more trees but to many enterprising animals, including
humans, it also signals the nut harvest season. The
Black Walnut, Juglans nigra, is native to certain states
including North Carolina. Interestingly the east coast
distribution of these trees tapers further inland once
south of our state. This species is notably absent to the
eastern coastal areas of South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. The trees is long lived (130 years or more), can
attain a height of 100 feet, and a massive spread of
about 70 feet. The Black Walnut population is in peril in
some areas due to destruction from canker diseases.
Black walnuts were used by Native Americans as both
food and medicine. The food value is an energy source
that has tremendous shelf life, as do most nuts. Black
walnuts are high in unsaturated fats and protein. The
black walnut meat has an earthier taste than the more
commercially available English walnut and is darker in
color. As folk medicines, the black walnut was used to
treat a spectrum of conditions, from asthma to syphilis.
The nuts were also used to treat skin ailments, constipation
and intestinal parasites.
The shelling of the black walnut takes both skill and
patience to extract the delectable nut flesh from the
outer protective coating. The skill comes from practice
and the patience comes from…well…patience. The
intricate folds and crevices inside the nutshell preclude
a clean release from the enclosure but the effort is well
worth the reward.
Dissolve the salt in the water to make a brine. Put on
some rubber gloves because walnut juice will stain your
hands for weeks. Stab each walnut with a fork in several
places; this helps the brine penetrate. Submerge the
walnuts in the brine and let them ferment for 8 days at
room temperature.
Remove the walnuts and put them on a baking sheet.
Leave them outside in the sun for a day, until they turn
uniformly black.
Pack the walnuts into quart jars. Bring the remaining
ingredients to a boil and pour over the walnuts. Leave
very little headspace in the jars. Seal and keep in a
cool place, either the fridge or a basement -- you just
want them to rest below 70°F -- for at least a month
before you eat them. Kept this way they will last a year.

JIM KAIGHN INSURANCE AGENCY- HOME OF THE “INSURANCE DOCTOR”
WHAT IS INSURANCE AND WHAT IS IT REALLY FOR??? AND WHO KNOWS???
Something that is overlooked way to much is the tremendous
burden that can be put on a person who is to receive money
from a Life Insurance policy.. It seems so innocuous , no big deal
about naming a person to receive money after a love one dies.
Most beneficiaries do not even partake in the discussion that
their name is putting on the insurance contract or what it REALLY
means!! Most insured people will name a wife or husband as
beneficiary, to pay off bills like the mortgage or have enough rent
money to last for 10 years, also to replace the income that the
family has just lost.. But, let’s analyze the burden this puts the
receiver of this money in.. Even a simple $25,000 insurance policy
is more money than that person has seen at one time, what am I
suppose to do with it?? NOW , multiply that figure to $250,000 or
$500,000 or even a $1,000,000..this is like winning a lottery, NOW
WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH ALL THIS MONEY??? Most
likely, they have forgot the reasons their spouse bought the insurance..NOW
they are fair prey to all family members and so-called
friends they have not seen in many years.. FIRST DON’T--tell no
one, not even your children or other family members that you have
this large amount of money coming in,, for there will be a feeding
frenzy that makes piranha attacks look tame.. The family vultures
will swoop down on the beneficiary asking for money to help poor
little Johnny go to college, or little Agnes needs braces for her
teeth, or brother Bubba needs a new motorcycle.. These people,
once they know that you have a lot of money , the beneficiary
will have no money left for it’s original purpose.. FIRST DO-- Be
involved in the process when the insurance is being bought, and
have a written note put inside the policy what this money is for
and instructing the beneficiary how to use this money and review
it every 5 years or so.. Mortgages are paid down, new children are
born..
SECOND DO-- You do not have to receive a large check to put
this problem in motion.. you can have your agent or you can call
the company to set up payment options, like receiving 25% of the
up front and then XX amount of dollars per month for many years
to come..SECOND DON’T--Do not buy life insurance through
tv ads , like select quote.. you are not dealing with a reputable
person on the other end of the line, they are just order takers, not
someone who can help you in time of need.. You need someone
to be calm and understand what this insurance was bought..You
can always go to a competent attorney that you know , but not
your second cousin Walter on your mother’s side..I could write an
article three times this size, but I hope this gets you to thinking!!
You can call me or e-mail me with q’s on this article or any other
insurance matter.. Call me at 252 202 5983 or e-mail me at INS-

As I am writing this column, we have just been hit
by Hurricane Dorian. Hurricane Dorian came as
an unwelcome visitor to Ocracoke, Hatteras Island and
the northern Outer Banks bringing with it high wind
speeds, rain and a storm surge that brought catastrophic
flooding. Ocracoke and Hatteras Island received the
major blow of this hurricane and it will take months-- if
not years-- for some people’s lives to be back to normal.
Hurricanes are a part of life living on the Outer Banks
and when you live here, you learn to take them in stride
but you always worry..
During the hurricane the fishing pier I grew up on since
I was seven years old was damaged heavily by storm
surge, swift currents and high waves. The Avalon Pier
first received damage when a section of the pier was
washed away. When I saw the pictures that were coming
in, my heart sank as I thought about all the memories I
had growing up on those same planks. As I was just accepting
the fact that she was damaged, I saw further reports
that showed the end of the pier had washed away.
I sat in shock and felt like a part of me had washed
away with it. Once again, memories went through my
head as I remembered the first Red Drum I caught on
a cool October fall afternoon, my first live bait Cobia,
and tons of friends I had made on those wooden planks.
Growing up on a fishing pier and spending time fishing
from sunup to sunset was one of my greatest childhood
memories. Even when I branched out to boat fishing, I
always had my love of those wooden planks in my heart
and I always returned to them to fish.
favorite southeast corner of the pier. When Hurricane
Dorian caused the pier to collapse into the ocean, many
of these plaques went into the ocean,too. I saw reports
of some plaques being recovered on the beach but mine
was not yet found. I was able to come to the beach on
the Saturday after the storm and see the damage to the
pier in person. I then began to walk down the beach in
search of the southeast corner of the pier that hopefully
had washed back onto shore. After walking several
miles, I started recognizing sections of the pier. Then as
luck would have it, I turned over a board that was under
a large pile of debris, and I found my plaque that was
attached to the pier rail. It was a lucky find and I was
so relieved and glad to find it so I will always have that
memory of the pier.
I want to tell everyone that losing a pier is an inconvenience
when you look at the big picture of people who
have lost their homes and everything they own. I don’t
want this article to minimize their loss but to share my
thoughts about losing something that was special to
me. If you can, I respectfully ask that you support these
Outer Banks businesses when they reopen and help
them recover!

Dear Dr. Crime
Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for a social scientist holding
a Ph.D. degree in sociology and in criminology. He
has worked in all major parts of the criminal justice
system. Drop him a note at the website www.keepkidshome.net
If you or your child is in trouble, he
may be able to help, give him a call (2523390000) or
E-mail at
reedadams@yahoo.com
Dear Dr. Crime: You wrote that going to church helps
keep kids out of crime. I buy that but how do I get my
kids to go? Yell at them? Old Dad.
Dear Dad: Show them advantages of religious activity.
They will meet nice people and have an addition to
their resume. One argument that many do not use is the
scientific finding that religion is good for health. They will
be healthier by affiliation with a religious group, and the
research shows it can be any of the major religions. A review
of the science behind this argument was in the current
issue of Bottom-Line Health, by Dr. Koenig of Duke
University. The greater the religious event attendance the
healthier the person, even extending to an additional 7
years of life.
Dear Dr. Crime: If people want to get “high”, let them, it
won’t do much harm. The fuss about drugs is unreasonable.
Sweetheart
Dear lady: A lot of people feel that way. But the danger
is such we should prevent drug misuse if possible. The
Centers for Disease Control tells us that a good estimate
is 72,000 drug overdose deaths occurred in 2017. That is
197 people daily. Many of those deaths involved heroin
or synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. You are wrong, we
must do more to prevent such harm.
Dear Dr. Crime: I am a strong man, but I am scared to go
some places I used to frequent. I don’t even go to church
like I did because some idiot might come in and shoot us.
Kids are scared of school and no public places seem really
safe as they did. What broad effects have the mass
shootings caused?
Dear Strong Man: You are not alone. Many of the
churches and other private groups have set up a safety
committee. Do the same at your church, school or business!
We must be alert; a safety committee can help.
You are not alone in your fear. Last month the American
Psychological Association reported their Harris Poll about
fear as you describe. A majority of parents are fearful
for their kids at school, and 79% of adults report stress
based on mass shootings. Women are impacted more
than men. Hispanic and African American adults show
the highest stress. The FBI has a critical publication you
should see, Jarvis, John & Scherer, J. Amber. (2015)
Mass Victimization: Promising Avenues for Prevention.
Washington D.C: Federal Bureau of Investigation. We
will return to mass shootings as a topic.
Dear Dr. Crime: Are kids doing more violent stuff than in
the past? Pop
Dear Pop: The federal NCJRS reports are frightening.
The increase in murders is higher among kids than
adults, more for boys than girls. Male teens at 3.3 %
of the population, commit 5.6 percent of all murders.
Sixty-five percent of homicides committed by juveniles
involve guns. Multiple-offender homicides have more
than doubled in the past decade and are often racially
motivated. At a risk of over involvement in private lives,
we should address ways to better raise our kids, and to
overcome race problems.
Dear Dr. Crime: Is it true that pretty girls are non-violent?

Chowanoke History
by Duvonya Chavis
The exile of Native American peoples from their homes
was the result of a clash of two different cultures. Namely,
cultural differences between the Indigenous peoples and the
Europeans later resulted in Europeans pondering what to do
about “the Indian problem” as the colonizers grew in numbers
and strength. Many historical accounts note the dependency
that Europeans initially had on the Native Americans for
survival, citing many instances when the Natives came to their
aid to prevent starvation and teach survival skills. Historical
accounts also note that many Natives came to the aid of the
colonizers even when there were disagreements within the
tribe as they debated whether to do so. Certainly the decision
to come to their aid changed the course of Native American
history. Cultural differences have been noted in the cleanliness
habits, trading practices, religious practices, and value systems
between the two groups. Europeans valued opportunity and
currency while Natives valued preservation, respect of natural
resources, and the spiritual potential of creation.
Prior to colonization, Indians traded with other tribes across the
continent of North America. Yet their trade was often bartered
with goods that were needed for themselves. Eventually this
changed as Indians abandoned trade amongst themselves and
traded exclusively with the colonizers, with fur being the dominant
commodity. The end result was an exploitation of the Native
American’s resources as the Europeans demanded more,
creating a dependence on the goods provided by the colonizer
to provide more furs. Later the colonizers took advantage
of this dependence. With the Natives’ resources depleted to
continue trading, the only asset left of interest to the colonizers
was their land. Yet the question of how to acquire this land was
a topic of many debates by the colonizers. Colonizers wanted
assimilation. Natives wanted to retain their culture and independence.
They resisted, rightfully so. However their decision
to remain distinct proved to be costly resulting in genocide and
the removal period that later followed. Removal, reservations,
assimilation, and termination periods were attempts by Europeans
to culturally cleanse the Natives. In a nutshell, Natives
persisted during these periods and are now participating in
many federal self-determination programs to strengthen their
culture. Yet, a majority of America’s Indigenous people who
also persisted through these periods as a distinct Native culture
are excluded from these programs. These Natives are not recognized
as American Indian by the federal government, though
many have a blood quantum that matches or exceeds those
living on reservations in the west. Assimilation affected most
American Indians, whether it is acknowledged or not. Lack of
recognition for a group of Indigenous people who make up a
very small majority of the total US population today could be
viewed as another tactic to continue to regulate Indian culture
and heritage and to assimilate them into mainstream society.
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.

Help Your Pets Avoid the Threat of Fleas
(NewsUSA) - Pet owners love their four-legged friends.
In fact, many are considered a part of the family. However,
one thing that dog and cat lovers hate are the fleas
that ultimately find their way onto their beloved pet and
into the home.
“Protecting your dog from fleas is an important part of
responsible pet care,” says Caryn Stichler, vice president
of marketing for Sergeant’s Pet Care Products. “Fleas
cause distress for pets, and can cause a condition called
Flea Allergy Dermatitis.”
Fleas, which can live both inside and outside of the
home, can transmit tapeworms to animals, and their
bites commonly cause skin irritation and itching. In fact,
if you see your pet twisting into pretzle-like shapes trying
to scratch certain body parts, chances are they have an
allergy to the saliva of fleas -- or flea allergy dermatitis.
“It is important to start treatment before there is a flea
problem,” says Stichler. “One or two fleas can quickly
become hundreds of fleas on your pet, so treating fleas
fast is important.”
If your pet has flea problems, you may want to consider
treating your pet with an over-the-counter solution. For
those pet owners seeking an alternative to topical flea
medication, oral tablets such as FastCaps (nitenpyram),
from the makers of PetArmor, is the solution.
FastCaps contain nitenpyram, the same veterinarian-recommended
active ingredient found in Capstar (nitenpyram),
and begins working in 30 minutes to kill adult
fleas on your pet. The fast-acting oral tablet, which can
be found at discount retailers, works for dogs and cats
that are two pounds or greater and four weeks of age or
older.
The best approach to managing an infestation is prevention.
Giving your pet frequent baths, regularly cleaning
your pet’s bedding and vacuuming furniture, rugs and
floors will help break the flea’s life cycle.
To learn more about FastCaps, visit www.petarmor.com.

Meridian Travel
Have you ever considered a trip to Alaska? If you
haven’t, I highly recommend you think about going.
There are so many beautiful things to see in Alaska and
there is an Alaska trip to match every budget. My family
and I took an Alaska cruise in the summer of 2015 and
it remains one of our absolute favorite trips. There is so
much to see and there are so many different options to
match every budget for an Alaska trip. I’d love to find
the perfect trip for your wants and needs.
We spent three amazing days in Seattle before setting
sail for a seven night inside passage Alaska cruise. We
caught salmon and halibut in Ketchikan, ate crabs and
saw a glacier in Juneau, drove up into the Yukon, saw
lots of water spouts from whale’s blow holes, spotted
tons of wildlife, including bears, eagles, seals, and
more and made some wonderful memories. The scenery
was unbelievable and we wished we didn’t have to
sleep. We only did a small amount compared to what
most of my Alaska clients do, yet it was still an amazing
trip. If you’d like to take a trip to Alaska, I’d love to help
you plan it.
My services are free and it never costs a penny more
booking through me and I’ll save you lots of time and
likely money as I guide you through the process.
I book just about anything including cruises, Disney,
Universal, all inclusive resorts, domestic, and international

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.

Orthodox Christianity by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd
Kindness is Meant to Be
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
T
hat is the moral of one of Aesop’s Fables, “The Lion and
the Mouse.” Recall that in the story, a mouse accidentally
wakes a lion, who threatens to kill the small creature.
The mouse asks for mercy, and points out that killing such
unworthy prey would bring the lion no honor. The lion relents
and sets the mouse free. On his way out, the mouse promises
that one day he will return the favor — the lion laughs in scorn
at such a prospect.
Be generous with your kindness, “freely give” your courtesy
and your love. In the ancient wisdom of the Orthodox Church,
there is a joyful certainty that God created humanity for love,
beauty and peace. Violence, anger and hatred are unnatural
realities that should be gotten rid of as soon as possible.
“Carry out a random act of kindness,” the late Princess Diana
once said, “with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge
that one day someone might do the same for you.”
Later, the lion is netted by hunters. When the mouse hears
the lion roar in frustration, he gnaws through the net and sets
the lion free — fulfilling his earlier promise.
So it is true: kindness is never wasted, never meaningless.
Somehow, mercy returns to the giver.
St Basil the Great — a fourth century bishop in present-day
Turkey — wrote that “A tree is known by its fruit; a man by
his deeds. A good deed is never lost: he who sows courtesy
reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.”

A good deed is never lost.
The wise King Solomon agreed: “Cast your bread upon the
waters: for you shall find it after many days. Give a portion to
seven, and also to eight; for you know not what evil shall be
upon the earth” (Ecclesiastes 11.1-2).

T
he latest job and unemployment numbers
are at almost record-breaking levels
throughout the country. Our nation is either
roaring back to life or beginning to start a turn
for the worse depending on how one consumes
political media. However, what does that mean
for our area? New businesses and expanding
companies are popping up all over. Infrastructure
and large construction companies are begging
people to come and apply for a position
and even going as far as training entry-level
positions with almost a guarantee of promotion
as soon as the training period is over. Some
companies are paying relocation expenses
as well as numerous other incentives to find
some good people with the desire to learn a
new trade and help take their companies into
the future, especially for our little corner of the
world. New commercial properties are shooting
up, and jobs are being filled fast all over
eastern NC. In the next few months, hundreds
of jobs are set to be unleashed on our area
with wages starting at around $34,000+ a year.
New infrastructure projects are continuing and
will last for the next three years minimum with
more future planning around the corner. The
Middle Currituck bridge, the Rodanthe bridge,
and other related projects are just a couple
in a growing list of opportunities that can and
will have a positive economic impact on our
area. New goods and services locations now
under construction in almost every commercial
space.- (movie theater, grocery stores,
auto repair shops) National unemployment
numbers, as well as our local numbers, are at
historically low levels. President Trump’s tax
cuts and deregulation initiatives have given
a much-needed boost to our local and state
economy. Now it is up to us, the citizens, to
take advantage of the opportunities afforded to
our area and help eastern NC come back to the
prosperity it once held. For years we have been
told “those jobs are gone” or “this is just how
things are now.” Whether that was because of
the federal government’s policies or our state
legislation policies is debatable. However, the
fact remains that now is the time for our area to
take advantage of the opportunities. According
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, our state has
a projected job growth of more than 300,000
positions until 2026. Also, that is a conservative
number in some experts opinions. Will we take
heed to the call? Alternatively, will we believe
what all the mainstream media and talking
heads when they tell us of the impending economic
downturn? This writer would like to think
that we will ignore the talking points the media
tries to scare us with, and we will look at the
facts and numbers.

safe home. Nutritious food. Health care.
A Good schools. Reliable transportation.
Which would you choose? Nearly 19 million US
households, or 1 in 6 families, pay more half or
more of their income for a place to live.
In Pasquotank County, more than 50% of

That significantly impacts their ability to pay for
other items such as food and health care.
Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity has joined
Habitat for Humanity International’s Cost of
Home Campaign, a national five-year advocacy
campaign, to increase the number of affordable
housing units in the United States.
There are four themes of this campaign:
expanding resources for home production
(through tax credits for affordable housing,
housing trust funds, and expanding existing resources),
increasing access to credit (through
down payment assistance programs, expanding
financial education and combating predatory
lending), enabling equitable access to land
(by streamlining land use approvals, improved
zoning ordinances and inclusionary housing
policies) and developing communities of opportunity
(by expanding home repair/modification
assistance, and “just cause” eviction laws).
North Carolina Habitat for Humanity’s polices
to consider during the next legislative
session are: property tax relief for homeowners,
updates to the Homestead Property Tax
Exemptions, increasing the funding for the NC
Housing Trust Fund from its current level of
$7.7 million after its decrease from a high of
$21 million ten years ago, and a state earned
income tax credit.
Members of the Elizabeth City Affordable
Housing group identified expanding resources
for housing construction as a primary area of
focus but also recognized the need for down
payment assistance programs and financial
literacy education.

Museum of the Albemarle
By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator,
Museum of the Albemarle
The expression “half land, half water” describes the
area of northeastern North Carolina. And on that land,
hogs have been raised, butchered, and processed for
generations. Hogs have found their way into our lives and
culture, playing a significant role for families in northeastern
North Carolina. Whether a vital source of food and
income for regional families or an ingredient in recipes
and medicinal and everyday products, hogs are considered
cultural icons. The High on the Hog exhibition, which
opened September 28th, looks at how pigs have become
a part of our family, home, and livelihood.
Pork is the meat most eaten in the world. In fact, the
United States is the third-largest consumer and producer
of pork and its products. Over 26 billion pounds of pork
were produced by meat companies in the United States
in 2017. Surveys confirm that the average American
annually consumes about 50 pounds of pork. Sausage,
pork chops, bacon, fatback, and barbecue are all foods
derived from the pig.
Hogs are extremely important in the field of medicine as a
source of over 20 prominent drugs such as insulin, amoxicillin,
penicillin, and heparin. Hog skins that have been
specially treated aid in human flesh burns. And pig heart
valves have been used to replace human heart valves.
The ingredients listing of your favorite foods can tell you
if that food has a pork ingredient. Look for terms such as
monoglycerides, enzymes, diglycerides, collagen, and
keratin. Some pet foods are also made from rendered
pig products. Gelatin and collagen from pigs are used
for products such as pudding, yogurt, gummy candy,
marshmallows, and safety gloves. Ground bones can be
used to make paper, jigsaw puzzles, and bullets. Lotions,
antifreeze, crayons, toothpaste, and makeup are among
those items made from pig fat and organs. Learn more
about hogs and their importance to northeastern North
Carolina in the Museum’s newest exhibit, High on the
Hog.

Guitar Tech Talk - Fender Guitar Beginnings
The company began as Fender’s Radio Service in late
1938 in Fullerton, California. As a qualified electronics
technician, Fender had repaired radios, phonographs, home
audio amplifiers, public address systems and musical instrument
amplifiers, all designs based on research developed
and released to the public domain by Western Electric in the
1930s using vacuum tubes for amplification. Leo became intrigued
by design flaws in contemporary musical instrument
amplifiers and began building amplifiers based on his own
designs or modifications to designs.
By the early 1940s, Leo Fender had entered into a partnership
with Clayton Orr “Doc” Kauffman, and they formed
the K & F Manufacturing Corp to design, manufacture,
and market electric instruments and amplifiers. Production
began in 1945 with Hawaiian lap steel guitars (incorporating
a patented pickup) and amplifiers, sold as sets. By the end
of the year, Fender became convinced that manufacturing
was more profitable than repair, and decided to concentrate
on that business instead. Kauffman remained unconvinced,
and he and Fender amicably parted ways by early 1946. At
that point, Fender renamed the company the Fender Electric
Instrument Company. The service shop remained open until
1951, although Leo Fender did not personally supervise it
after 1947.
Leo Fender’s lap steel guitar made in 1946 for Noel Boggs
was probably the very first product of the new company,
bearing an early presentation of the cursive “big F” Fender
logo.
In the late 1940s, Fender began to experiment with more
conventional guitar designs. Early Broadcasters were
plagued with issues; while Fender boasted the strength
of the instrument’s one-piece maple neck, early adopters
lamented its tendency to bow in humid weather. Fender’s
reluctant addition of a metal truss rod into the necks of his
guitars allowed for the much needed ability to fine-tune the
instrument to the musician’s specific needs. With the
design of the Telecaster finalized, mass production
began in 1950. The Telecaster’s bolted-on neck allowed
for the instrument’s body and neck to be milled
and finished separately, and for the final assembling
to be done quickly and cheaply by unskilled workers.
The Stratocaster was released in 1954.
In 1959, Fender released the Jazzmaster guitar.
Like the Stratocaster before it, the Jazzmaster was a
radical departure from previous guitar designs. The
offset body, vibrato system and innovative electronics
were designed to capture the Jazz guitar market
which until then was dominated by acoustic guitars.
Fender even promoted the Jazzmaster as a premium
successor to the Stratocaster, an accolade it never
fully achieved. Despite being shunned by the Jazz
community, the guitar found a home in the growing
surf rock music scene, one that would go into influence the
Jazzmaster’s successor, the Jaguar in 1962.
In early 1965, Leo Fender sold his companies to the Columbia
Broadcasting System (CBS) for $13 million. This
was almost two million more than they had paid for The
New York Yankees a year before. CBS entered the musical
instruments field by acquiring the Fender companies.

The

Wave
Ringing In The Red Bells Of October
It's not just another wave,
The bell pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) in my garden are
now producing the best and sweetest peppers of their growing
season – the mature, fully ripened red peppers. All peppers,
whether sweet or hot, start out green, and then they go through
the spectrum of colors and flavors, from the grassy and slightly
bitter green pepper, to yellow then orange, gradually sweetening,
and finally to the nutrient-rich, mellow, and almost fruity, red pepper.
By staying on the plant longer, the red pepper has had time
to develop additional flavor characteristics and nutritional qualities,
making it an excellent source of antioxidants, beta carotene, Vitamin
C, and fiber. Longer vine-time, while making the red pepper
sweeter than its predecessors, also makes it more expensive, due
to the required use of extra resources demanded by the longer
harvest. All this is moot if you’re growing your own, in which case,
good things come to those who wait.

Get a piece of history — An M1 Garand rifle
By Mike Blank
What follows is my personal quest to acquire an M1
Garand through the Civilian Marks-manship Program
(CMP). We’ve all heard about getting government Garands,
but personally I never knew anyone who had, so I thought
I would give it a try and document my experience. My hope
at the outset is that this article will encourage more of you
out there to do the same while you still can. That flat panel
monitor, digital camera, or new rifle will probably still be
there and mostly likely be cheaper next year, but who knows
for how much longer you’ll be able to buy a piece of history
in the form of an M1 Garand rifle for five hundred dollars or
less and have it shipped straight to your door.
Friday 3/26: While standing in one of my favorite local gun
stores I see the proprietor hand a nice M1 Garand over the
counter to a perspective buyer with the comment that it was
a just like in “Band of Brothers.” They then ended up in a
good discussion that included discussing the buyer’s military
past. At this point the shop owner asked him if he had considered
buying a Garand through the CMP as his discharge
papers exempted him from the marksmanship requirements.
The CMP”I hadn’t looked into them in years. Given that the
price they were discussing on the Garand was almost a
grand, I thought I might want to give them another look.
Saturday 3/27: Finally I got a moment to look at the CMP
website (www.odcmp.com) and I was very surprised. I seem
to remember that in an earlier day you could roughly specify
grade and that’s it. Also, there were limits on the number, not
that that is a big deal for most of us, but it should be noted.
Finally, you also had to compete in a CMP associated shoot
and qualify with a certain level of marksmanship. Not that
this is an arduous task, but it is time consuming and time
is something we are all short on. So completing the marksmanship
criteria, and then not having much of a choice
wasn’t appealing. How times have changed.
Now my Concealed Carry Permit fulfills the marksmanship
requirement. Military discharge records still work as well, but
so do a whole host of other certifications. They have also
streamlined the process for repeat customers. So buying
again, be it another rifle or ammunition, will be faster. This is
due in part to the fact that the form that documents you are
you is valid for three years. Most importantly, you can now
specify not only grade, but manufacturer as well. So if you
want a Winchester, you’ll get a Winchester. However, at this
point there is a waiting list for International Harvester made
Garands and the wait list is closed. The prices currently
range from $350 for a Rack Grade Danish Issue to $1300
for a Collector Grade International Harvester should they
have one available. Either way these prices are far less than
can be found even on Internet auction sites.
Garands are not the only rifles available through the CMP.
Currently you can buy M1903s, M1903A3s, M1917 Enfields,
Reprinted with permissions from Backwoods Home Magazine Issue #89 • September/October, 2004
22 Caliber Kimber Target Rifles, and it’s anyone’s guess
what will come up under the heading Misc Rifles. As of this
writing this category lists Mann Accuracy Barrels.
Tuesday 3/30: After trying to chase my uncle down for a few
days I finally met up with him. He is the official notary in the
family, and the statement attesting to the fact that you are
who you say you are and can buy one of these requires a
notary to guarantee your signature. So it’s into the Priority
Mail envelope with all the paperwork and off to Alabama.
Now begins the wait. I hate waiting, don’t you?
Wednesday 4/14: An email arrives from CMP with bad and
worse news. The bad news is my Florida driver’s license
didn’t qualify for proof of citizenship, so I had to fax over
either a photocopy of my passport or birth certificate. The
worse news is the Winchester manufactured Garands are
on an approximately one-year back order. I reply with a
faxed copy of my birth certificate and email asking what is
available now.
Thursday 4/15: I receive a response saying the Springfield
Garands are available now and the Harrington & Richardson
Garands should be available in two months. Time to
contemplate.
Friday 4/16: I decide the best move is to double down and
buy insurance. I augment my order to two Winchesters and
one Springfield. Well you didn’t think I could wait a year did
you? I get an email back acknowledging that my order has
been amended to two Winchesters and one Springfield.
Curiously enough, they now comment that it might take two
years to clear the Winchester backorder. Maybe I should
have made it four Winchesters.
Thursday 4/22: I get a call at work from my wife. She utters
the words I’ve been waiting to hear, “FedEx just dropped
off a gun; I take it you’ll be home early?” Unfortunately as
Mr. Murphy is seldom wrong I end up having to work later
then usual and the traffic seemed unusually heavy on the
way home. As soon as I arrive I make right for the bedroom
where the rifle is now waiting.
The box is extremely well built and there isn’t a scratch on it;
so far so good. Four strips of tape and the box opens easily.
The rifle is held in place by dark gray foam pads. The CMP
does a great job packing up the Garand so it won’t die an
undeserved death during shipping. After lifting the top layer
of foam I see her. There is no mistaking the look of a wellused
Garand. I’m pleased to see they’ve included a clip and
sling along with some instructions and brochures from a few
companies offering their help in caring for and feeding your
new Garand. An added bonus is a Certificate of Authenticity
that states the model, serial number, who it was sold to, and
the date signed by the Director of the CMP.
I lift the Garand out of the box and give it a quick physical
inspection. There are only two real ugly spots. One is up at
the front of the rifle where wood meets metal on the forestock
and the other is where someone put some masking
tape on the stock, probably back during the Kennedy
administration. Other than that it’s just got the normal dings
and dents, as one would expect. Upon further inspection
it becomes clear that the forestock portions appear to be
replacements as they are far less aged than the buttstock.
Next my attention shifts to the serial number. It reads
3,687,XXX. Now I’m not knowledgeable enough to know
what year that puts the rifle’s birth date on, but with some
quick checking on armscollector.com I get the response:
1945. Doing a little more reading it comes in highly unlikely
that it was made in time to make it into the fray in either
Europe or Japan, but at least it can claim WWII lineage.
Further proof of this lineage is found in the markings on the
buttstock where the cartouche reads SA NFR and has the
cross cannons right next to it identifying it as a late WWII
piece. I guess I’ll just have to buy a few more to see if I can
get an early WWII rifle, such a pity. But for now, I’m just
going to enjoy going out and blasting away my ’06 ammo
and listening to that wonderful “ba-ding” as the clip pops out
every eighth round.
I can’t say enough about how friendly and quick this whole
process was. The CMP’s personnel were both courteous
and prompt in responding to all inquiries I had and in resolving
the small issues that came up. If you’ve ever wanted a
Garand I suggest there is no time like the present to go to
get one.
(Readers wishing to obtain an M1 Garand through the CPM
can write to Civilian Marksmanship Program, PO Box 576,
Port Clinton, OH 43452, but it’s easier to go online to www.
odcmp.com.)

The Bible and Self Defense
by Dr. Richard Seim
Reprinted with permission from the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network Inc.
Chapter 2
In order to gain a balanced view of what the Bible says
about self defense, let’s 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). The phrase “the
Law or the Prophets” refers to the entire Old Testament.
In the Bible there is a marked difference between murder
and using lethal force for self defense or for the defense of
others. Both the Old and New Testaments teach that murder
is wrong. Most people are familiar with the Ten Commandments.
Commandment number six, in the version I use,
the New American Standard Bible (NASB), says, “You shall
not murder.” (Exodus 20:13). This version makes this verse
easier to immediately understand than does the old and yet
very good King James Version (KJV) which says, “Thou
shalt not kill.”
The proper meaning of this one word is critical to our discussion.
For if the word really means “do not ever kill under any
circumstances,” then it impacts the direction of our conclusions.
The reason the NASB translators opted for “murder” instead
of “kill” is because that is what the word means. Originally,
the Old Testament was written in the Hebrew language.
According to the book Exodus: Saved for God’s Glory, “The
Hebrew language has at least eight different words for
killing.”1 One of the most respected Biblical Hebrew lexicons
(similar to a dictionary) is called Brown, Driver, and Briggs
(BDB). Their basic meaning for the word in the sixth commandment
is, “murder, slay.”
Commenting on this verse in the year 1706 is Matthew
Henry, “It does not forbid killing in lawful war, or in our own
necessary defense, nor the magistrate’s putting offenders
to death, for those things tend to the preserving of life...”2
More modern commentators agree, “…What the sixth commandment
forbids is the unjust taking of a legally innocent
life. It applies to ‘murder in cold blood’… God’s people have
always recognized that there are some situations where
taking a life is not only permitted but actually warranted.”3
Although this article is not specifically dealing with the death
penalty and the government, it does come into play if we
want to understand the sixth commandment. In the New
Testament, Romans 13 says, “For rulers are not a cause of
fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no
fear of authority? … But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for
it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of
God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices
evil.” (Romans 13:3a, 4 NASB). “The sword” is an instrument
of death, not a spanking paddle! So, even in the New
Testament one of the responsibilities of the government, “the
sword” (capital punishment), is clearly maintained.
To summarize, the sixth commandment prohibits the unjust
taking of a legally innocent life (murder) but does not prohibit
self defense. As Matthew Henry said above, the purpose of
the command is “the preserving of life.”
Shortly after the sixth commandment was written a specific
law concerning the death of a home invader was given,
making the self-defense issue much clearer. “If the thief is
caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there
will be no bloodguiltiness on his account. But if the sun has
risen on him, there will be bloodguiltiness on his account.
He shall surely make restitution; if he owns nothing, then he
shall be sold for his theft.” (Exodus 22:2-3 NASB).
If a home invader broke in at night and the homeowner took
the invader’s life, he was not guilty of murder—it was a justifiable
homicide. Self defense and defense of family is clearly
in view here. We understand that this is at night because the
next verse says, “But if the sun has risen...”
Is verse three teaching that we cannot defend ourselves
against a violent home invader in daylight? No, it does not
suggest that! Both verses identify the motive as burglary.
Nowhere else in the Bible is robbery considered a capital
offense. At night, no one knows the motive. Verse three
assumes the daytime burglar is non-violent. Notice the verse
also assumes he is caught because the penalty is “He shall
surely make restitution” or “he shall be sold for his theft.”
Exodus 22:2-3 is a very important passage where self
defense is concerned. The intent of the passage is not to
just reveal history or tell a great Bible story. It is clearly
instructive in nature and therefore written so it can be easily
understood by the common person reading to determine the
commands and instructions of God. It would be impossible
for the sixth commandment (Exodus 20:13) to teach that all
killing is wrong, when some fifty verses later we are given a
very clear example of justifiable homicide.
The passage is also very important to the question of
church security. When I walk into a church, does that end
my responsibility to defend myself and my family? (What
about defending others? We will deal with “others” later.)
How about the person that says, “Well, if you have enough
faith in God, He will protect you?” Does that statement not
apply at home as well as outside the home? According to
the Bible, God has given at least some responsibility to us
(enough to justify taking a life if necessary). Exodus 22:2 at
the very least infers my responsibility to protect and defend
myself and my family. Although it does not immediately deal
with outside the home, until and unless the Bible clearly
teaches otherwise, we must be prepared to defend ourselves
against violent invaders no matter where we are.

Cummings Cove Golf Club – Fun, Relaxing, Enjoyable Mountain Golf
In 1938, chemist James Cummings sold his successful
pharmaceutical companies in Buffalo and Toronto and
began his search for the ideal, temperate climate where he
could escape the extreme Buffalo winters. His search lead
him to Hendersonville, NC, where he spent part of each
year raising cattle on his farm, overlooking the French Broad
river. For the rest of his life, he made it a priority to give back
to his three favorite cities – Buffalo, Toronto and Hendersonville
- funding hospital and church projects.
Cummings Cove is located on the gentle slopes where
James Cummings’ cattle once grazed, in the beautiful
mountains of Western North Carolina. It’s a mountain
community and the Cummings Cove Country Club serves
as its centerpiece. Whether you’re on the golf course, in the
clubhouse at the restaurant or in the pro shop, you’ll enjoy
the same mountain views that James Cummings saw when
he decided to make this area his new home.
The golf course at Cummings Cove offers golfers 5 sets
of tees. From the back tees, Cummings Cove plays 6,415
yards. This may not seem like a lot, but remember, we’re
talking mountain golf. The Bermuda fairways lead to
Bentgrass greens. There’s a lot of elevation change yet
very few extreme uphill shots. From the Gold tees, the
course has a rating of 72.4 and a whopping slope of 134.
Seniors typically play from the appropriately named Silver
tees (5,133/69.5/127), while ladies will move up to 4,821
(65.4/113). No matter your skill level, you’ll find a set of tees
to match your abilities.
Cummings Cove is full of memorable holes but what I will
remember most is the stretch from 12 – 15. Each hole is
unique and distinct in its own right. Twelve is a short dogleg
right par 4 with a blind tee shot. Play out to the left of the
tee; if you try to fade it around the corner, don’t go too far
right or you’ll never see that ball again. Keep it in the fairway
and you’ll have a short iron or wedge in. Number 13 is a
long par 3 that plays slightly uphill. The green is wider than
deep and well protected by sand. Par is a good score here.
Fourteen is a long par 5 that doglegs slightly left and features
water all down the left side. Play your drive and layup
shots down the right side but beware of the fairway bunker
about 80 yards out from the green. The water sneaks back
into play just left of the green. Number 15 is one of the best
risk/reward opportunities on the course. It’s a dogleg left par
4; the only thing you can see is a bunker about 225 yards
straight out. Play your tee shot left of the bunker and you’ll
have an upward approach shot of around 135 – 155 yards,
Cut the corner off the tee, carry the rough and you can get it
down to under 100 yards. It’s your choice. Cummings Cove
ends with back-to-back par 5s and gives you a chance to
get a couple of lost strokes back.
All in all, the golf course is in fantastic condition and is a lot
of fun to play. The staff is as friendly and as outgoing as the
members; it’s obvious they love what they’re doing and have
fun doing it. The views are incredible; stand on the 16th
green and look out over 50 miles of mountain vistas. In the
springtime you’ll see more shades of green than a leprechaun
with a hangover!
Like most country clubs, the clubhouse at Cummings Cove
is the center of community activities; it’s also a great place to
catch the beautiful mountain sunsets. It sits on a high knoll
overlooking the golf course and lake with the mountains in
the distance serving as the back drop. The views don’t let
up when you enter the dining room as walls of glass wrap
around the room and you can see the everchanging panorama.
The clubhouse is reminiscent of a mountain lodge, with
massive wood beams and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace;
it’s a great place to host a special event.
Recently, the clubhouse went through a massive renovation.
The old pro shop has been taken over by a multipurpose/
card room. The pro shop is now an 1,100 ft. standalone
building. Inside the golf pro shop, you’ll find premium golf
club rentals as well as quality clothing from manufacturers
such as Antigua, and golf balls and accessories from companies
like Callaway, Titleist, and Bridgestone.
The golf course at Cummings Cove is open for anyone to
play; you don’t need to be a member, however memberships
are available. In fact, the only way to become a member of
Cummings Cove is to be a resident of the community; that
way you can experience all that Cummings Cove has to
offer on a regular basis. All residents are required to have at
least a Social Membership.
Cummings Cove has been named “One of America’s 50
Best Master-Planned Communities” and offers three levels
of membership: The Golf Membership gives members full
use of all Cummings Cove facilities. A Sports Membership
includes some golf and full use of all other facilities. As a
Social Club Member, you have complete use of the clubhouse,
tennis facilities and pool. Electric personal golf carts
are permitted; If a household member is using their personal
cart for a club golf event, the club will provide a golf cart for
the other household member, free of charge.
With a vibrant and diverse membership, the Club participates
in many civic and charitable projects in addition to a
wide array of sporting and social activities. Members can
enjoy an afternoon on the course, indulging in in nine holes
of golf, followed by dinner and a glass of wine at the clubhouse.
With more than 60 indoor and outdoor activities to
participate in, there’s bound to be something for everyone. If
not, start your own group!
Depending on the season, the club serves both lunch and
dinner. During the season, members enjoy holiday parties,
dances, bridge and golf tournaments and other special
events. Every month sees something new going on whether
it’s a seasonal party, sock hop or a mystery “whodunit” night.
Outdoor activities come together at the Sports Complex,
which is home to the fitness center, pool pavilion and tennis
courts, all with spectacular mountain views. If tennis is your
game, the men’s and women’s groups are eager to welcome
newcomers; if you haven’t played in a while and want to get
back in the game, just show up on Saturday for the “showup
mixer.” The less competitive atmosphere is great way to
meet other players and get those tennis juices flowing again.
There’s two state-of-the-art HydroCourts which maintain an
even playing surface throughout the day and are easy on
the joints. Four pickleball courts let you take advantage of
the fastest growing racquet sport in the world; lessons and
clinics are available for both.
Step inside the fitness center and you’ll find an exercise
classroom with a cushioned floor; perfect for Pilates,
aerobics, NIA and more. You’ll also find Precor cardio-training
equipment, a Cybex weight training circuit and a free
weight area. Both the men’s and women’s locker rooms
have showers. While you’re working out, you’ll have a great
view of the Blue Ridge Mountains through the tall windows
that wrap around the building. After a good workout – and a
quick shower – pay a visit to the Pool Pavilion, where you’ll
find a large swimming pool and hot tub. There are tables
and chairs to relax in after swimming a few laps along with
restrooms and showers.
Your best friend is always welcome at Cummings Cove and
frisbee is one of the most popular games at the dog park. A
two-gate staging area behind six-foot high chain link fence
provides a secure place for owners to let their dogs run and
play. Access to the park requires a $50 annual fee; all dogs
must be registered and show proof of up to date vaccinations.
One of the greatest things about Cummings Cove Golf &
Country Club is that the atmosphere within the club makes
you feel right at home. Some say it’s the relaxed mountain
lifestyle, others say it’s the people. Members have come
from several different places, all in search of the things
James Cummings was looking for: natural beauty and a mild
climate; without the stress of a big city. And, since most of
the members feel the same way, newcomers to the club find
it easy to make friends. Ask any of the members what they
like most about Cummings Cove and most will tell you that
it’s the people.
If you’re looking to relocate to Western North Carolina,
Cummings Cove deserves your consideration. An outstanding
golf course, the lure of mountain scenery, along with the
creeks and lakes that are created have become an attraction
to those relocating into the area. For more information

Unsung Revolutionary War heroine, Mary Digges Lee
In September 1780, General George Washington
receives an offer of help from a group of women in
Maryland.
Many of my history posts have to do with glorious moments
in a battle or a specific brave act. Perhaps lost in
the shuffle are the many ways in which ordinary citizens
pitched in: Many, many Americans wanted their freedom!!
Perhaps they didn’t always know how to help. But they
jumped in and did whatever they could, when they could.
In this instance, the First Lady of Maryland, Mary Digges
Lee, was prompted into action when General George
Washington issued a plea to the states. “Unless some
extraordinary exertions be made by the States from
which we draw our supplies,” he wrote in his circular letter,
“there is every appearance that the Army will infallibly
disband in a fortnight.”
Mary’s husband, Thomas Sim Lee, had just been elected
Governor of Maryland. Thus, he was one of the recipients
of this letter. Governor Lee soon responded to
General Washington, reporting on legislative action in
Maryland. The state was ready to help—but Mary was
Maryland’s new First Lady, and she wanted to help, too.
She organized the ladies in her state. The women would
not be left behind in this endeavor.
The women took up a collection for the Continental Army:
by Tara Ross
Their fundraising drive was a big deal in a day and age
when “polite” women just weren’t supposed to do that
sort of thing. Nevertheless, money and other materials
were collected for the troops, which seemed to be suffering
from a constant shortage of supplies throughout the
Revolution.
On September 27, Lee wrote Washington to report on
the effort. “I have the honor to inform your Excellency,”
she wrote, “that the Ladies of Maryland have manifested
their gratitude, by Subscribing a Considerable Sum for
the relief of the American army.” Lee wanted to know how
the funds could best be used. And should the supplies be
sent to the Northern or the Southern Army?
Washington was grateful. He soon responded with praise
for the “patriotic exertions of the Ladies of Maryland in
favor of the Army.” He asked that Lee use her funds to
“purchase of Shirts & Stocks (black) for the use of the
Troops in the Southern Army.”
Such a simple thing, isn’t it? Collecting money to buy
clothing for the troops. Yet all of these little efforts were
meaningful. Taken together, they added up to something
big: An unexpected victory against the large and powerful
British army.
Encouraging, isn’t it? **ANYTHING** we give to our
country means something. Let’s do it.

Pelatiah Webster: America’s Adam Smith and a Forgotten Founder
knows who America’s first president was, but can
you identify the country’s first economist?
If any man or woman deserves that description, it is surely the
one who wrote this and so much more:
I propose . . . to take off every restraint and limitation from our
commerce. Let trade be as free as air. Let every man make the
most of his goods in his own way and then he will be satisfied.
The “American Adam Smith”
His name was Pelatiah Webster. Largely forgotten today, he
was regarded as “the American Adam Smith” after his death
in 1795 at the age of 68. His wisdom, especially on trade and
money matters, deserves a renewed appreciation today.
Webster was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, in 1726. Twenty
years later, he graduated from Yale and became a minister in
Massachusetts. By 1755, however, the lure of entrepreneurial
opportunities took him to the business world of Pennsylvania.
He was an almost instant success as a merchant, amassing a
small fortune in the process. His reputation as an authority on
matters of trade, finance, and currency was unmatched by anyone
in the 13 colonies on the eve of the American Revolution.
The Second Continental Congress regularly sought his advice.
In 1776, the same year the Declaration of Independence appeared
in America and Smith’s The Wealth of Nations debuted
in Scotland, Webster started publishing a series of essays on
economic matters. In 1777, he authored a famous letter to
George Washington in which he reported on the awful conditions
suffered by Americans imprisoned by the British. The
revelations in that letter and in other writings landed him behind
British bars himself for four months in 1778. The Brits ripped off
a sizable chunk of his personal wealth, as well.
In 1783, Webster published his Dissertation on the Political
Union and Constitution of the United States of North America. It
proved to be enormously influential in the run-up to the Constitutional
Convention of 1787 and the ratification of the Constitution
itself. In 1791, he published a compilation of his pamphlets
and articles under the title Political Essays on the Nature and
Operation of Money, Public Finances, and other Subjects
during the American War. It remains accessible, insightful, and
fascinating to this day. You can read it at Liberty Fund’s Online
Library of Liberty here.
A 1907 article in the Yale Law Journal by Hannis Taylor titled
“Pelatiah Webster: The Architect of our Federal Constitution”
praises Webster profusely, claiming that “among our nation-builders,
Pelatiah Webster stands second to Washington
alone.” Taylor argued that Webster was sadly neglected by
historians “not through any conscious omission, but because of
a careless historical scholarship which has failed to present his
great achievement in its true light.”
Price Controls in Early American History
Indisputably, Webster’s behind-the-scenes contributions to the
Constitution were immensely significant, though he was squarely
in the camp of the Federalists of his day. Personally, I would
have planted myself in the opposing camp of the Anti-Federalists,
so I would have differed from him on important issues of
governance.
On economics, however, Webster penned many excellent
insights that make him worthy of the moniker “America’s First
Economist.” Here are just a few:
In my 2008 essay, “The Times That Tried Men’s Economic
Souls,” I recounted the Continental Congress’s mistake in resorting
to paper money inflation. Webster opposed the practice
from the start and later noted its disastrous consequences:
The people of the states had been ... put out of humor by so
many tender acts, limitations of prices, and other compulsory
methods to force value into paper money ... and by so many
vain funding schemes, declarations and promises, all of which
issued from Congress but died under the most zealous efforts to
put them into operation and effect.
Within a year of cranking up the printing presses, Congress
decreed that the army could requisition supplies at fixed prices.
It was a ruinous experiment in price controls that ensured not
ample provision but outright destitution. If Congress hadn’t
heeded the warnings of men like Webster and abolished them
quickly, America might well have lost the war. As our first economist
observed:
We have suffered more from this cause than from any other
cause or calamity. It has killed more men, pervaded and corrupted
the choicest interests of our country more, done more
injustice even than the enemies.
Webster’s experience as a successful businessman undoubtedly
influenced his thinking on the virtue of free trade. His pamphlets
are laced with eloquent defenses of commercial liberty.
“Trade, if left alone,” he declared, “will ever make its own way
best, and like an irresistible river, will ever run safest, do least
mischief and most good, if suffered to run without obstruction in
its own natural channel.” Furthermore, he wrote:
Freedom of trade, or unrestrained liberty of the subject to hold
or dispose of his property as he pleases, is absolutely necessary
to the prosperity of every community, and to the happiness
of all individuals who compose it….All experience shows
that the most effective way to turn a scarcity into a plenty, is
to raise the price of the articles wanted…In times of danger,
distress, and difficulty every man will use strong endeavors to
get his goods to market, in proportion to the necessity and great
demand for them; because they will then bring the best price,
and every man is fond of embracing golden opportunities and
favorable chances….
In times of scarcity, every man will have strong inducements to
bring all he can spare to market, because it will then bring the
highest price he can ever expect, and consequently the community
will have the benefit of all that exists among them, in a
much surer manner than any degree of force could extort it, and
all to the entire satisfaction of buyer and seller.
by: Lawrence W. Reed Reprinted with permission from fee.org
My favorite Webster quote on free trade comes from an essay
he penned in 1780. This was a guy who knew his economics
and didn’t hold back when stupid interventions predictably
backfired.
Let every man be at liberty to get money as fast as he can;
and let the public call for it as fast as public exigence requires.
Limitations of our trade have been so often tried, so strongly
enforced, and have so constantly failed of the intended effect,
and have, in every instance, produced so much injustice and
oppression in our dealings, and excited so many quarrels, so
much ill-will and chagrin among our people, that they have, in
every instance, after some time of most pernicious continuance,
been laid aside by a kind of general consent, and even most of
their advocates have been convinced of their hurtful tendency,
as well as utter impracticality. When a government goes to war,
the pressure to print money proves irresistible. Some people
actually think the printing press allows the government to secure
labor and material more cheaply than if it raised taxes to pay for
them.
But Webster knew that there was nothing magical about a printing
press. Everything must be paid for, if not by higher taxes
now, then by higher taxes later—in the form of higher prices, as
well as higher taxes. His advice to the Congress was to refrain
from debauching the currency and pay for what it needed as
much as possible by raising taxes. The rest, he argued, could
be financed by issuing minimal debt backed by a promise to
redeem in precious metal.
Webster wasn’t a fan of government debt. When emergencies
are over or coffers swell, he urged debt retirement. I wish his
advice would be taken in Congress today, where deficit spending
is soaring in spite of a booming economy.
…[I]t is a plain maxim that people should always pay their debts
when they have a good run of business and have money aplenty;
many a man has been distressed for a debt when business
and money were scarce, which he had neglected to pay when
he could have done it with great ease to himself, had he attended
to it in its proper season; this applies to a community or state
as well as to a private person.
So much of sound economics reduces to what Pelatiah Webster
would likely regard as common sense: Don’t spend what you
haven’t got. Don’t mortgage your children’s future. Leave free
people alone to produce and create. Refrain from cheating your
creditors or your customers. Be honest with money. Let trade be
unfettered by superstition, fallacy, or the arrogance of officialdom.
Honor your contracts. Establish a stable framework under
the rule of law so people can go about their business. Keep the
peace.
And that’s why America’s first economist
is worth listening to more than
two centuries after he lived.

Should You Talk to a Lawyer? by: Stella Knight
It Doesn’t Get Any Easier - A Reality Check for Caregivers, Part 2
Last month I wrote about two situations: caring for my
grandmother (Nana) who suffers from acute shortterm
memory loss and my neighbor who was caring for
her 93-year-old mother after hip replacement surgery.
Acknowledging that the situation was most likely not
going to improve, I outlined four points to consider as a
caregiver. They were:
1. Start long term care planning, not stop-gap planning.
2. Get your loved one assessed by a professional.
3. Don’t take the resistance you encounter personally.
4. Reach out for help.
Why is this background important? Well, my mother
had my grandmother (Nana) assessed. The doctor said
my grandmother needed full-time care – not nurses but
a companion. Most recently my grandmother suffered
from dehydration and malnutrition. Nana was in the
hospital overnight. She could not remember if she’d
eaten – so she assumed she had. Also, Nana has become
increasingly disoriented to the point of wandering
several blocks from a Burger Kind when my mother went
to the ladies’ room. All of this is quite upsetting to my
grandmother when she gets an occasional glimpse of
the situation.
My mother and Nana go to lunch with friends and regularly
attend movies and concerts. Nana cannot remember
act of the activities, but she enjoys the moment.
Nana takes pride in her routine -every morning she
walks, not just a block or two, but two miles. The rest of
her day is filled with either a trip to the post office or a
hair appointment. But because Nana suffers from acute
short-term memory loss and becomes easily disoriented,
the doctor said she needed to have someone either with
her full-time or at least 6-8 hours a day. My mother took
the doctor’s advice and after many difficult and lengthy
interviews – found a “companion” for my grandmother.
What were the results? This lovely charming grandmother
turned into a sullen, miserable person – “I don’t
need help!” “Why did you do this to me?” “Am I crazy
and cannot take care of myself?” “I want to die!” From
that point on, everything my mother and grandmother did
together seemed to be covered with a cloud of distress.
There was no more spontaneous laughing, joking or
teasing between them.
As my mother said, “There was a wall between us and I
had built it by forcing “helpers” on her. At night, I would
worry about the pain I had caused my mother by introducing
these people into her life. In discussing the problem
with a friend who empathized with me since she had
gone through a comparable situation with her mother,
she told me, “I, too, tried to help my mother and get her
some assistance. I think mother died hating me.”
After two weeks, my mother could not take it anymore!
The help was canceled and my mother realized that if
Nana missed a meal (or two) she would not die. Nana
never wanted to live with my mother, she cherished her
independence. If my grandmother were at full mental
capacity, she would not want my mother to “sacrifice” her
life to care for her.
Solution. My mother tells what her “caregiving” solution
is: I will continue to call my mother each day. I will make
sure we do some activities together one or two days a
week. I have engaged the help of my siblings – Nana
will visit with each of my brothers for four weeks in the
summer and my sister will come for a week when I travel
to see my children. Yes, this is a “temporary solution.”
I tried the “ounce of prevention” with daily companions
and it did not work. If my mother’s situation deteriorates,
then her failure to allow me to plan will have created the
only alternative – a community residence. It may be a
haphazard solution but both my mother and I are much
happier. It’s a solution we are happy with and can live
with – that’s what it’s all about.
More of us than ever before are becoming caregivers to
loved ones, either because of choice or necessity. There
are no easy solutions. Each family situation is unique
and your alternatives may be limited due to financial
resources, family support or community resources.
Be pro-active. Don’t wait for a crisis before you begin
talking with your loved ones and acquiring valuable
information.

Speed
by: Robert Threatt
Why speed? I am not talking about drugs but the
rapidity of motion in your automobile. Quickly
getting from one place to another. People are in an
ever-increasing hurry. Things that take a little time
now is too slow and must be faster. No matter that it
is only a few seconds faster, it must be faster.
The speed guidelines along our roadways have
been set for safety, for the preservation of life and
limb. Speed can be a killer (the drugs included) and
by not adhering to that law may put you either in the
hospital or morgue. That is the reason the laws were
emplaced. Each law on the books was put there
for a reason. The road is curvy. The road is narrow.
The road usually has a lot of heavy traffic. The road
has a lot of entrances and exits. I could go on, but I
digress.
At the present time speed limits, in the United
States, is rarely over seventy miles per hour. This
make me wonder why car makers build cars that, on
average, can travel a hundred and twenty miles per
hour or more? Lamborghini just built their newest
model that can go from zero to sixty-two in three
seconds (it cost two point five million dollars. They
are sold out at this time). Why? There is not a highway
in the united states that can accommodate that
speed.
As I travel our highways and back roads, I see
many cars weaving through traffic. In a hurry to get
nowhere. They pass me (I’m already speeding) and
I catch-up to them at the next traffic light. What did
they accomplish but the waste of precious gasoline?
Speed kills. Slow it down. The life you save may be
your own.

Northeast North Carolina Family History - Camden County in early newspaper reports…
By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com
We tend to think of news from our rural counties as
only of local interest but as these excerpts show,
local events were picked up by newspapers in other cities
and even states. As to how factual there were...
Published in the Baltimore Patriot & Evening Advertiser,
November 21, 1814 (Volume IV, Issue 111, p. 2)
“Norfolk, Nov. 15 - SHOCKING DUEL!
One of the most tragical occurrences in the annals of
duelling took place on Saturday last in Camden county, N.
C. --Mr. Pellard Davis, midshipman, and Mr. Richard C.
Gregory, surgeon’s mate, both of the U. S. ship Constellation,
from some unhappy animosity subsisting between
them, were instigated to meet for the horrid purpose of
taking away each others lives, or in the fashionable cant
of the day, to decide their controversy in an honorable
manner. They met at the time and place appointed, with
pistols--the first fire was ineffectual--but the second, alas !
was fatal to both!! Mr. Davis received his antagonist’s ball
in his right side, fell, and almost instantly expired ! whilst
his ball penetrated Mr. Gregory’s skull a little above the
temple, and shattered it in such a that he survived only
until the evening of the following day. Both bodies were
brought to this town on Saturday night; the one bereft of
life, the other writhing in the agonies of death, and have
both been subsequently consigned to the tomb, with the
respect becoming their rank.”
Published in The News and Observer, Raleigh, NC April
13, 1882; Issue 11 col F
“A Camden County Man’s Elopement”
“(Elizabeth City Falcon.)
Camden county was startled last week by the reported
elopement of Mr. Joseph Berry, of Shiloh, one of the most
prominent men in the county, with a young girl who had
been employed by his wife in the capacity of a domestic.
The circumstances, as we have been able to get them,
are these: Mr. Berry was a well-to-do citizen, respected by
everybody and the head of a family consisting of wife and
three or four children. A young girl had been employed at
the house and it was thought that Mr. Berry’s relations with
the young lady were rather intimate. The girl disappeared
a short time ago, and the fact that Mr. Berry followed shortly
after is taken to mean a preconcerted plan of elopement.
Mr. Berry was treasurer of the Shiloh Lodge of Masons
and took $300 belonging to the Lodge. He was indebted
to various parties in Norfolk, with whom he had business
transactions. On the other hand it is said that various responsible
parties are indebted to him in amounts quite as
large as he owed. He went to Norfolk, and from that point
he wrote his wife, telling her that she had not treated him
right and that the ocean would soon separate them. It is
thought by some that he took passage on an ocean steamer,
while others are of the opinion that the note was merely
a blind and that the eloper will turn up somewhere.”
On a happier note…
Published in “The Albemarle Southern” of Elizabeth City,
N.C. - Friday, October 12, 1860, p. 3 - 3rd column

“On Tuesday evening, October 9th, by Rev. J. D.
Lumsden, Mr. WILLIAM C. PEARCE and Miss ANNE E.
ABBOTT, only daughter of Major Wm. Riley Abbott, all of

Don’t Change 401(k) Mix During Market Drops
As you’re well aware, we’ve seen some sudden and sizable drops in
the financial markets in 2019. While market volatility is nothing new,
the recent plunges happened during a period of general political and economic
unease. Still, it can be harmful to overreact to such events – especially
if it means making radical changes to your 401(k).
And yet, many people do just that. During market downturns, investors
often move money from their 401(k)’s stock accounts into perceived safer
accounts, such as those primarily containing bonds or other fixed-income
securities. This move may result in reduced volatility on your 401(k) statements,
and if that’s all you want, you might be satisfied. But you do need
to realize the cost involved – specifically, fixed-income investments will
not provide the same rate of return that equities (stocks) can. So, if you
liquidate some of your equity holdings, you may slow the growth potential
of your 401(k), which, in turn, could slow your progress toward your longterm
financial goals. Furthermore, if you get rid of substantial amounts of
your equities when their price is down, you won’t be able to benefit from
owning them when their value goes up again – in other words, you’ll be on
the sidelines during the next market rally.
Here’s the key issue: A 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement
plan is a long-term investment account, whereas moves made in reaction
to market drops are designed to produce short-term results. In other
words, these types of actions are essentially incompatible with the ultimate
objective of your 401(k).
Of course, when the market is volatile, you may want to do something with
your 401(k), but, in most cases, you’re far better off by sticking with the
investment mix that’s appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time

horizon. However, this doesn’t mean you should never adjust your 401(k)’s
portfolio. In fact, you may well want to make some changes under these
circumstances:
• You’re nearing retirement – If you are nearing retirement, you may need
to prepare your 401(k) for future downturns – after all, you don’t want to
have to start taking withdrawals when your portfolio is down. So, if you are
within, say, five years of retirement, you may need to shift some, but certainly
not all, of your assets from growth-oriented vehicles to income-producing
ones.
• Your goals have changed – Even when you’re many years away from
retirement, you probably have an idea of what that lifestyle will look like.
Perhaps you plan to travel for several months of the year or purchase
a vacation home in a different climate. These are expensive goals and
may require you to invest somewhat aggressively in your 401(k). But you
could change your mind. If you were to scale back your plans – perhaps
more volunteering, less traveling – you might be able to afford to “step off
the gas” a little and invest somewhat more conservatively in your 401(k),
though you will always need a reasonable percentage of growth-oriented
investments.
By responding to factors such as these, rather than short-term market
declines, you can get the most from your 401(k), allowing it to become a
valuable part of your retirement income.

New Life of Currituck
by Pastor Dan Bergey
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. I had a conversation one day with a person who was
complaining about a job that a contractor tried to complete on
their house. As I was trying to correct some of the issues in
the complaint the person kept interrupting my work by telling
me how to complete the job correctly. I became a bit frustrated
but did not want to show it, so I finally asked them how they
would complete the project. After a few more questions they
realized what they were saying would not work. As I completed
the work for them, they made this comment. “I guess I was not
telling myself the truth about how this needed to be fixed.” I
commended them for realizing how they were coming across
to others.
Proverbs 10:6, says “He who walks in integrity walks securely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out. Integrity in the
dictionary says two things, “one it is adherence to a code of
moral values, and two it is the quality or state of being complete
or undivided.” When I make up my own truth things can
get very distorted. Just like the verse says my ways are perverted.
It means to tie in a knot or to distort, to make matters
worse sometimes I know what I am saying or doing is different
then what I really think or believe, but I do or say it anyway.
Being truthful means that I do and say exactly what I believe.
So, lets break this down a little bit more because if I am to tell
the truth, I must admit I cannot when I rely on my feelings and
thoughts alone. But when there is absolute truth that is written
in the Bible then I have a moral code outside of my own
The Soul Hunters
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.
thoughts and feelings to rely on for the truth. Call me crazy
but I see every day what happens when I rely on God’s code
and conduct for life rather than my own. You know what else I
see? I see people who are encouraged and uplifted when truth
is spoken with love. Are you trying to distort a situation in your
life? Are you trying to rely on your own truth for each situation
or challenge? This verse tells us to seek God’s moral code for
our life, and then ask God’s Holy Spirit to help us say and do
things according to that moral code rather than your own. The
verse is clear that if we will seek to do that, we will be secure.
We will live with an inner peace even if the world around us
seem chaotic.

from a verse in the book of proverbs please send me an

The North Carolina War Years of 1861-1865 and Governor Zebulon Vance
By Dr. Dave
Although North Carolina was the last southern state to
secede from the war mongered states of the northern U.S.,
when Lincoln called on North Carolina on May 20, 1861, to
furnish two militia regiments to fight against N.C.’s sister states
of the south. The reply to Lincoln was a flat immediate refusal
as follows: North Carolina would furnish NO troops to assist the
northern invasion of the south. North Carolina had enormous
contributions to the southern confederacy, especially in human
resources and war supplies. 125,000 North Carolina troops
served the south, which turned out to be between 1/6 and 1/7 of
all confederate soldiers. Many did not have arms, ammunition,
or uniforms issued to them. North Carolina brought in cargoes
from Europe into North Carolina ports through blockade runners
valued more than $65 million in gold through the war years. All
orchestrated through Governor Zebulon Vance. During the four
years of the War between States, North Carolina had 19,673
native soldiers killed in battle, and 20,602 died from other
causes such as sickness and disease which was more significant
than any other state in the confederacy. Also, thousands
of young men crippled for life, and on the home front, countless
numbers died from disease due to the many Yankee atrocities
which laid waste to all southern lands along with the abundance
of northern confiscation of personal property.

It doesn’t cost us anything,

Because things weren’t going their way.

Second, there was bitter water,
Then the manna wasn’t enough,

They forgot that God fed them daily,
They forgot that He sweetened the bitter water,
They forgot that He sent the flocks of quail to
supplement the manna,
They forgot that their clothes never wore out.
What was the cost for all this grumbling and complaining?
40 years of endless wandering in the desert,
A 40 year trip that should have lasted 11 days,
40 years outside the promised land,
Never to enter in.

It’s officially fall! Time to put the shorts and flip-flops
away. Get out the sweaters, long pants and boots.

Company down. This month we are bringing our
zombies back to life (again).
Organize and Rise! Join Encore Theatre for a Zombie
walk through downtown Elizabeth City on Saturday,
October 19, from 2:00 - 5:00pm. The purpose of the

public. This family friendly event is free and open to
everyone! Dress in costume and visit area shops and
restaurants along the route. We’ll finish up at Mariner’s
Wharf on Water Street for a dance party and
pictures! Participating merchants will donate a portion
of their proceeds for the day to Encore Theatre
Company. For more information contact Gene Tick

702.
You may have noticed we have a new phone number,
with extensions! The base number is 252-301-3071.
Don’t worry if you don’t hear a ring, it really works.
Extension 701 is for general information, 702 for information
on the Zombie walk, and 703 for information
on the dinner theater.
Speaking of which, reservations for our Dinner
Theater, Tuesdays with Morrie, are now available to
purchase through our website: encoretheatre.org or
by calling us. Tuesdays with Morrie will open January
10 and run for two weekends. Reservations are $30

old man, a young man, and life’s greatest lesson.
Based on a memoir by sports columnist Mitch Albom,
the play recounts his visits with his former sociology
professor Morrie Schwartz.

Albemarle Eye Center

Find Relief from Dry Eye Today
According to the National Eye Institute, it’s estimated
that dry eye affects nearly 5 million Americans
over the age of 50. Additionally, tens of millions
more may also have undiagnosed dry eye with less
severe symptoms. Like so many disease of the eye
(glaucoma, cataracts, retinal issues), Dry Eye often
goes unnoticed for a long period of time until symptoms
become more noticeable. While Dry Eye isn’t
quite as debilitating as some of those other issues,
this doesn’t make it any less serious of a problem.
Anything that causes physical discomfort and affects
your day-to-day life is a serious issue that should be
examined by a doctor or a trained professional. But if
so many people live there lives without ever realizing
they have Dry Eye, what can you do to know if you
should be looking at treatment options for Dry Eye?
One way to know whether or not you should see
your doctor about dry eye is to know what the risk
factors are. Dry Eye can either be a temporary or
chronic condition, and is often systemic of other
issues. Some of these issues can be serious, and
earlier treatment could prevent more permanent damage.
Many medications can cause Dry Eye as well.
Prescriptions for high blood pressure or Parkinson’s
disease, as well as antihistamines and decongestants
can cause dryness of the mouth and eyes.
Pregnancy can also cause temporary Dry Eye. Other
items that cause Dry Eye include:
• Allergies and the medications
• Long periods of non-blinking, like when staring at
a computer screen
• Long-term contact lens wear
• Plastic surgery
• Chemical or thermal burns of the eyelid
• Other medical issues that can cause dryness of

the eyes, mouth, nose, and possibly other organs
Another way to know whether or not you should see
a doctor fro Dry Eye is to understand the symptoms
and look for those symptoms before they become a
serious nuisance. The common symptoms of Dry Eye
include:
• Stinging or burning of the eye
• Feeling like there is something in the eye
• Periods of excess tears followed by periods of
dryness
• Redness of the eye
• The inability to produce tears when crying
• Discomfort while wearing contacts
• Eye fatigue, eye aches, or heavy eye lids
In recent years, the treatment options for Dry Eye has
increased drastically, giving people more opportunities
to find relief without the need for surgery. Often,
an oral medication or eye drop can help reduce the
discomfort of Dry Eye and provide you with more natural
tears. Additionally, surgical options may provide
more of a permanent solution to Dry Eye rather than
simply treating the symptoms with medications. In the
meantime, there are plenty of things you can do to
protect yourself from the troublesome effects of the
Dry Eye. Try using over-the-counter drops to keep
the eyes moisturized throughout the day, always
wear sunglasses when in direct sunlight, and try to
give your eyes a break from staring at a computer
screen for prolonged periods of time.
By recognizing the risk factors of Dry Eye, understanding
its symptoms and knowing what you can
do to protect yourself from any needless irritation or
discomfort, you can find relief from Dry Eye.

In the empty morning hours,
the jocund voice crackled across the Philco.
A swarm of three-piece suits begins the ritual precession
without inclination.
Decades of GMOs and lousy news- weather faces
into silent jeering smiles.
The contented watch generic TV blonds offer the
latest massed-manufactured burrito.
Between a dream and memory, many have parked
their cars and wait for summer.
As the dark kiss fades into a gray morning, the forgotten
and unwanted begin to arouse.
With thoughts of instant gratification, they feed but
remain hungry.
As the hint of forbidden knowledge fades from the
lips, her image forever trespasses on emotions already
crippled.
While no longer moored to the good life and the land
of the free- The endless quest to maintain a well-mortgaged
life in the sprawl continues for the rest.
I dwell in your tomb-
Heard the raspy voices just above the forbidden silence -
Crept into your granite heart unnoticed - and carefully-
Walked into the portico of your soul and felt your night-
Held your hand and experienced the presence of the
fallen ones-
Stared at your footsteps impressions across your marble
conscious-
Consented to forgotten lunar pleasures-
Removed your ancient mask and learned the great truth-
Pierced your roman lips and caressed your raven hair
anyway-
Accepted your dark kiss under the broken moon-
Rewarded, eternally, to bathe in your swollen courtyardand
the raspy voices whisper
“ This kind of vanity has a price.”
trapped by mocking laughter
trapped by mocking laughter
Indeed, I dwell in your tomb-

2019 ASSA Albemarle Challenge Regatta Donates to the
Food Bank of the Albemarle
T
his
June the Albemarle Sound Sailing Association
(ASSA) premiered its new regatta format in races hosted
by the Osprey Yacht Club (OYC, Hertford) in nearly ideal
sailing weather. Along with the OYC, the ASSA consists of
the Edenton Yacht Club (EYC), the Colington Yacht Club
(CYC), and the Pasquotank River Yacht Club (PRYC). The
combined effort of these four yacht clubs was an attempt to
raise the profile of the ASSA and so increase the number
of sailboats participating in an annual regatta event. More
boats equals more fun.
Early in the year when the new sailing format was discussed
it was also agreed that, in order to help raise the
profile of the ASSA, a donation would be made to a charity
that served the entire Albemarle region, The Food Bank of
the Albemarle was the obvious choice. With the generous
sponsorship of Biggs Cadillac Buick GMC, The Bembridge
Insurance Agencies, Farm Bureau Insurance, TSO Armor
and Training, Wells Fargo Financial Services and the Elle
Lynn Boutique, a donation that will provide approximately
3,600 meals, was presented to the Food Bank of the Albemarle
in Elizabeth City.
With some 17% of the population across the region short of
food the Foodbank distributes over 6 million pounds of food,
through 100 hunger relief partners operating 145 unique
programs throughout a 15 county region annually. This is,
of course, a major undertaking that only operates successfully
with donations from individuals, corporations and local
community bodies such as the ASSA.
Please consider sharing some of your time serving food
to our local military members and their families. This
year’s Coast Guard Day picnic will be held on
August 1, 2019 from 12:00 to 4:00 PM on the Coast
Guard Base.
We welcome volunteers for Coast Guard Day picnic,
which is being celebrated on August 1, from 12:00 PM
to 4:00 PM. We are in need of a number of volunteers to
setup 8:30 to 11:00 AM, help with the event 12:00 - 4:00
PM transferring soda, water, and ice, manage ride lines,
dump trash, give directions, and other things, and assist
in cleaning up from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. If you are interested
in serving as a volunteer, please check out the specific
positions and time slots, then sign up. It’s that simple.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you do
not have a valid ID to access USCG Base, please email
Ecity-mwr@uscg.mil and request a visitor request so we
can make arrangements to get you on base.
