The Weapon Shops of Isher
By: A. E. van Vogt
T
he Weapon Shops of Isher and its sequel The Weapon Makers
detail the workings of Isher civilization and the adventures of
Robert Hedrock, The One Immortal Man, as he keeps it in balance
in the face of attempts by the Weapon Makers, who have forgotten
their purpose as a permanent opposition, and the strong government
of the Empress, Innelda Isher, with its intimate connections
to a network of financial institutions, to undermine each other. The
Weapon Shops provide the populace with defensive weapons and
an alternative legal system.
The Isher/Weapon Shops novels are very rare examples of Golden
Age science fiction that explicitly discuss the right to keep and bear
arms, specifically guns. Indeed, the motto of the Weapon Shops,
repeated several times, is “The right to buy weapons is the right to
be free”. However, Van Vogt’s guns have virtually magical properties,
and can only be used in self-defense (or for suicide).
The political philosophy of the Weapon Shops is minimalist. They
will not interfere with the corrupt imperial monarchy of the Isher
government, because men always have a government of the type
they deserve: no government, however bad, exists without at least
the tacit consent of the governed. The mission of the Weapon
Shops, therefore, is merely to offer single individuals the right to
protect themselves with a firearm, or, in cases of fraud, access to
a “Robin Hood” alternative court system that judges and awards
compensation from large, imperial merchant combines to cheated
individuals. Because the population has access to this alternative
system of justice, the Isher government cannot take the final step
toward totalitarianism.

The More Things Change
The French have a saying: Plus ca change, plus
c’est la meme chose (The more things change,
the more they stay the same). This is well illustrated
by study of the decades long battle to enact legislation
to regulate the food and pharmaceutical industries
in the late 19th and early 20th century. Accounts
of the determined opposition to passage of a law to
accomplish this is eerily similar to what goes on in
Washington these days.
The 19th Century saw the introduction of food and
drugs on an industrial scale, largely replacing the
small mom-and pop operations which had supplied
foods to the populace. This had become necessary
as a much larger proportion of workers made their livings
unconnected to farming, while the proportion of
people living in cities increased drastically. Although
numerous nations in Europe had passed laws to regulate
food standards and safety, lobbyists prevented
anything like this from happening in the USA.
An excellent, highly readable and entertaining account
of this is found in “The Poison Squad” by Deborah
Blum, one of the best science writers around,
for my money, anyway. The book is about Dr. Harvey
Washington Wiley, one of the true heros of the U.S.
civil service. Dr. Wiley was appointed Chief Chemist
of the Department of Agriculture in 1883. He had
been a professor of chemistry at Purdue University.
The title of Blum’s book is taken from a tactic Dr.
Wiley employed to dramatize the hazards of food
additives commonly used at the time.
As we well know, food spoils on storage. This problem
was especially difficult in an era when there was
no electric service to homes. You can’t preserve stuff
without refrigeration. At best, people used ice boxes,
with commercially available blocks of ice (“ice box”
was an old name for fridges, back in the day). Preservatives
are used to this day, but we have a much
better handle on safety.
Mark Robinson
by: Roger Canaff
Mark Robinson is a true American Patriot. Born and raised in
Greensboro, he grew up in an impoverished house as the 9th
of 10 children. Experiencing alcoholism and witnessing domestic
abuse first hand, Mark was able not only to survive but thrive.
Mark served in the Army Reserves as a medical specialist, has
worked in manufacturing, and owned a small business. He not only
knows the people of North Carolina, he is North Carolina.
As Lt. Governor Mark will fight to end infanticide in our state, bring
quality education to our children, protect our 2nd Amendment
Rights, and make North Carolina the “Gold Standard” in Veterans
Care.
Some of the chemicals used included formaldehyde,
borax (yes, 20 mule team) and salicylic acid. Formaldehyde
was often used to extend shelf life of milk.
Although pasteurization was a proven technology,
American dairy producers were slow to adopt it because
it cost too much (sound familiar?). The title of
Blum’s book describes an experiment to test toxicity
of some of these compounds. Dr. Wiley solicited volunteers
among governmment employees to consume
foods containing them. You had to be young, healthy
and male. Low salaries, coupled with the high cost of
living in Washington (hasn’t changed much, has it?)
induced many to enjoy (albeit tainted) chow at government
expense. The volunteers ate three meals
per day, for a specified period; they were rotated in
groups which consumed preserved food, then rotated
to a similar selection without preservatives. The term
“Poison Squad was coined by a Washington Post
reporter, much to the chagrin of Ag Department higher-ups.
Following each rotation, the men were given
thorough physicals. As it happened, some of these
food additives did sicken some of the volunteers.
(Milk, by the way, preserved with formaldehyde was
nicknamed “embalmed milk”, since the substance
was widely used in funeral homes).
Indiscriminate use of preservatives was by no
means the only problem with food adulteration at that
time. Strawberry jam, for example, often consisted
of mashed apple peelings, grass seed and red dye,
and (maybe) a strawberry or two (or, maybe not).
Finally, in 1906, the Pure Food and Drug Act was
passed. Although far from perfect, the new law began
a process to prevent some of these abuses. In
1938, it was replaced with the Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act of 1938, which is basically the law in use
today. As so often happens, the passage of the legislation
resulted from a tragedy which killed 107 people
who had ingested a drug, sulfanilamide, which was
dissolved into diethylene glycol (still in use today as
antifreeze). Plus ca change........
“If I believe the same things
today I did yesterday I’ve
learned nothing.”

N o r t h e a s t e r n
SPCA
North Carolina, Inc.
Preparing for a hurricane is always a daunting
task. The first step is deciding whether you plan
to leave or sit it out. Those of us who have grown up
in coastal NC are a little more cavalier about leaving
our homes, but often- times, even the most hurricane
savvy person must make the decision to seek safe
shelter.
When the decision is made to leave, the next question
is what to do with your pets? We have all seen
too many clips of animals left behind, clinging to the
roofs of houses, or hovering on the kitchen counters,
terrified and starving. In the wake of Katrina,
over 600,000 pets were abandoned. Many unable to
reunite with their owners due to lack of identification.
Many pet owners who left their pets behind, expecting
to retrieve them, were unable to return to their homes
for months. Katrina was a lesson for all of us to expect
the worst, have a plan and protect your pets.
The first thing to understand is that they will NOT be
alright if left behind. We could list the horror stories
of animals left behind during hurricanes and needlessly
died because of this attitude. Left in a house,
that could easily be demolished or filled with water
provides no escape for your pets. This is not a safe
alternative for them, and certainly not a humane
one. Tethered in the backyard or porch rail is terrifying
as well as making them totally vulnerable to the
elements. Abandoning them to fend for themselves
is inhumane and irresponsible. Yet, many resort to
these options because they are unprepared.
While we realize it is important for families to seek
safety, there are steps you can take to ensure that
both your family and your pets are safe.
By: Kim Parrish, Board of Directors,
SPCA of Northeastern NC
As we approach hurricane season, it would be wise
to get ahead of the potential problem and commit to
saving your animals with these simple steps:
• Have your pet microchipped, or provide a collar and
tag with contact information
• Make sure all pets are up to date on their vaccinations,
especially rabies
• Have their vet and medical records on hand
• Make sure you have plenty food and water for travel
• Provide blankets or beds, bowls, medications and
toys for your pet
• Check local hotels to see if they are accepting pets,
many do during a storm
• Never leave them alone in the house, garage or
pens
• Keep cats in travel carriers, provide litter boxes and
litter, scoops and bags
• Dogs should have leashes and collars
We realize that it is difficult at best to find lodging and
care for yourself much less your pets in an emergency
situation but leaving pets behind should never be
an option. Preparing and following the steps provided
will ensure that your pets will be cared for as well.

Not From Around Here
by: Coy Domecq
recent trip to the mountains
A inspired this month’s featured
plant article. With all the bounty
we enjoy within the borders of our
region, there are some things just
beyond the grasp of a leisurely
local drive. In my recent travels, I
came across the lingonberry fruit
(aka cowberry), a member of the
heath family and related to blueberries
and cranberries. The taste
is likened to cranberry but not as
tart. Although the name sounds
as if it may be related to a Klingon
fruit-based diet in a galaxy far, far
away, it actually grows a little closer
to home with the southern-most
location somewhere in the lower
Vermont area and extends north to
Maine and beyond into the exotic
foreign country known as Canada.
chdomecq@hotmail.com
The fruit is foraged in the wild and
cultivated as a commercial crop
where feasible. This specimen is
included in the encompassing food
group known as Superfoods. The
lingonberry abounds in beneficial
nutrients and other favorable attributes.
It has high contents of vitamins
C and A, and antioxidants.
Beyond the quantitative elements,
it was and is still used by some
groups as treatments for diabetes,
rheumatism, urinary tract infections
and to alleviate common cold
symptoms as coughing and sore
throat. If that is not quite enough,
it also shows promise in weight
control, promotes eyesight health,
enhances beneficial gut bacteria
and is currently being evaluated as
having anti-cancer properties. Although
fresh lingonberry is difficult
to locate in the local area, it may
be ordered in season in specialty
shops (especially those catering to
a Scandinavian clientele), and is
available in select stores in frozen
berry, jam and juice preparations.
With all the forms and uses of lingonberry,
regardless of the recipe
you choose, consuming lingonberry
is likely to enable you, in the
words of a famous Vulcan, to “live
long and prosper”.

JIM KAIGHN INSURANCE AGENCY- HOME OF THE “INSURANCE DOCTOR”
by Jim KAIGHN, CLU,CHFC,RHU,AABA, BSBA,LUTCF
Veteran of U.S. NAVY and COAST GUARD
Be Careful Who You Advice From!!
have been in my business in the Elizabeth City area for
I over 50 years.. Many times , people have always asked me
questions about insurance, real estate, any many other money
matters.. When it comes to insurance, I am considered an
expert because of my time in the business and my degrees I
have earned over the years..BUT, when I am asked questions
about other money matters, of which I have basic knowledge,
I do not try to give EXPERT advice, only basic knowledge of
which I have on the subject.. basic questions on Real Estate,
Investments, Stock Markets, etc.. I have knowledge on these
matters, but not like someone who is an EXPERT......... Last
week, I was listening to a weekly radio show on Saturday’s from
a self proclaimed expert on everything--CLARK HOWARD-- I
listen to him because he seems to know alot about travel,
airplane tickets, phones and basic other stuff.. But, his advice
on Life Insurance-- he is a dunce!! Last week, a man called him
for advice. He is in his 50’s and he is getting married for the first
time to a girl in her 20’s.. he wanted to know what type of life insurance
he should get.. all he told him was 10 or 20 year term..
NO OTHER QUESTIONS, NO OTHER IDEAS OF DIFFERENT

HIS GOALS!! This type of “EXPERT’ can do more harm than
good.( He also hates WHOLE LIFE INS) ..A real EXPERT would

T
he year 2020 has truly been the year that keeps
changing from day to day. This year’s Pirates
Cove Tournament went on as planned minus all of the
social events that everyone usually looks forward to
every year. The Annual NCBBA Red Drum Tournament
has become the latest casualty to fall to cancellation,
joining the Nags Head Surf Fishing Club and Cape
Hatteras Anglers Club’s annual tournament events.
Many fishermen were disappointed by the news but
when you sit back and look at the average age of the
membership of these clubs, you can see that it was
really cancelled because there was probably more risk
to those running and judging the tournament because
of their ages and health conditions. While we may be
disappointed with the lack of tournaments, don’t be too
disappointed because the fish will still be in the ocean
waiting to be caught!! Fall is a great time to boat, surf
and pier fish so take advantage of this time and make
plans to come to the Outer Banks and fish in the fall.
For those wanting to head offshore, September is
still the time to head out to the White Marlin grounds
and try your luck at catching and releasing these epic
billfish. Also the King Mackerel bite should be starting
out, and the bite should get better as the month progresses.
Another great idea to try during this time is to
make a reservation on the Miss Hatteras out of Oden’s
Dock in Hatteras and go on a bottom fishing trip. This
trip is a great value for the money and is also family
friendly. Bottom fishing is always great during this
time of the year, and you can come back with a cooler
full of good fish to eat. Bottomfish are a great fish to
vacuum seal and freeze, so you can enjoy them for
have asked many more questions, delved into the guys plans,
his and her jobs, would he want insurance on him when he got
much older to help her out when she got into her 50’s or older..
Much of his opinions are taken as gospel by his listeners.. and
this is the same problem with many so-called KNOW-IT-ALLS!!

The 2020 COVID Crisis has certainly increased the
number of people searching for outdoor activities to
pass the time from lack of travel opportunities. This
has caused a major increase in sales of outdoor sporting
equipment like boats, kayaks, and fishing equipment.
I have seen dealers actively looking for used
boats to sell because the market is so hot right now.
This high demand has also occurred in kayaks with
some outdoor outfitters selling their inventory as soon
as it arrives or having a waiting list for future deliveries.
I have seen social media posts saying that they
have been to big box stores and seen empty racks
where fishing equipment is usually stocked. While
there have been some supply chain disruptions, most
of the local tackle shops have what you need to get
you on the water and fish-- whether it is in the surf, on
the pier or in the boat. So get out of the house and go
make some fishing memories!

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: I don’t know what to think of the law
enforcement officer issue. We have to have protection
and safety. Will the demands to “fix” the police
work? Immigrant citizen
Dear Citizen: Yours is one of the most important
questions facing us today. It is so important Science
News devoted a major report to it, and the title
gives a critical answer : “Little evidence backs police
reforms – research is needed to see which efforts
really stem violence”. The report, in the August issue,
reviews the impressive work of Criminologist Robin
Engel who reported in refereed scientific journals
on the absence of research concerning reduction of
violence among officers. Her report identifies several
crucial questions concerning crime, the suppression
and the prevention of crime, and the response by
society to crime. As a criminologist with years of
experience with law enforcement, I must assert the
fine and altruistic nature of law enforcement officers
generally. Also, I assert as I have in the past the
need for more research in and about criminal justice
and abnormal behavior. Indeed, the primary research
interest should be about the type and nature of upbringing
that produces good adults who do not draw
the attention of the police.
Dear Dr. Crime: Are many kids victims of crime, usually
abused? noname
Dear Sir: The USDHHS reports abused children, of
the 52 states reporting, are 3,533,597. One is too
many. I will not address the issue of what should be
done with the adults who abuse them.
Dear Dr Crime: What is ransomware crime? Businessman
Dear Sir: It is a relatively new form of crime, a computer-
based attack that encrypts, or locks, valuable
digital files and demands a ransom to release them.
Typically, it is business and governments that are the
victims. The response is coming to involve cyberinsurance
to help pay the heavy cost of recovery. Vol.
32, #7 of the journal Government Technology has an
excellent article explaining and describing this crime.
Dear Dr. Crime: I know you are opposed to the
legalization of pot, but I am hearing many different
opinions now. Should I worry if my kids use pot?
Parent
Dear Pop: A recent column by a physician, Dr. Robert
Ashley, reported parents should worry. Marijuana
can be addictive and can harm the kid’s brain. It can
cause memory loss. Unless a physician has suggested
the use of pot for a medical reason, I suggest all
people leave it alone.
Dear Dr. Crime: We continue to fuss about the use of
spanking our kids. Should we do it? Teacher
Dear Teacher: There is not a yes or no answer to that
question. Scientists argue both ways. It is important
not to convey to the kid being spanked that you hate
him, but only that you care enough to make sure he
sees the bad implications of his behavior. Consider
a meta-analysis of 50 years of research on 160,000
kids found that the more a kid is spanked, the more
aggressive and less successful he becomes.
Dear Dr. Crime. Last year President Donald Trump
signed the “First Step Act”. Please explain what that
means. Offender No More
Dear Sir: According to the Billy Graham Association,
that was an effort by President Trump and others
to address the very high recidivism rate of adult
offenders, and the cost of many billions of dollars a
year to lock up crooks without adequate correction of
why they offended. Prisoners involved in the Prison
Fellowship Academy, a religious program, had lower
recidivism rates than those not involved.

Chowanoke History by Duvonya Chavis
(252) 679-7504
Indigenous tribes have endured many evolutionary changes since the 1500s,
ranging from changes in their system of government, their cultural practices,
their dietary habits, and the languages they spoke to changes in the tribal names
they identified with. Most of these changes were significant and had a negative
impact on their lives. Specifically, the loss of tribal governments across the US
resulted in most tribes struggling centuries later with trying to revive a government
that somewhat resembled one they had previously governed themselves. Some
tribes were successful with restoring a government that primarily incorporated
traditional culture while most adopted a form of government that resembles that of
the US government.
All of America’s Indigenous people have been negatively affected by changes that
were beyond their control in dietary practices. Although genetics are highly implicated,
adapting to a diet based heavily on refined wheat as a staple rather than
a traditional diet based on unmodified corn has had catastrophic and disproportionate
effects on rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. The replacement
of bison with European cattle, plant-based milk with animal milk, whole grain diets
with sugary based foods and the loss of quality seafood have resulted in profound
and disproportionate rates in kidney disease, where some Indigenous tribes in
the US have the highest rates of kidney disease in the world. In addition to forced
changes in diet, the introduction of alcohol resulted in some tribes having the
highest mortality rates in the US, one that mirrors rates seen on some islands in
the Caribbean.
The loss of traditional culture along with the European practice of “killing the
Indian to save the man” in thousands of Indigenous children, one that punished
those who spoke their language and prohibited children from seeing their parents,
resulted in profoundly negative effects on the mental health of many Indigenous
survivors today. Disproportionate rates in the mental health status of American
Indians are also seen today.
Tribal names were changed or altered if they were difficult to pronounce. Many
names were shortened and many tribes were given new names altogether. While
seemingly insignificant, Chowanoke pronunciation gradually evolved from Chawanook,
(pronounced Shaa’-a-nook) to Chowanoke (Cho-‘ah-noke). It was easier to
pronounce the latter. However, as tribes begin to revive their traditional languages,
those once thought of as complicated and very long names are starting to
resurge. As decolonization begins, the revival of Indigenous culture ensues, and
the bison return.
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.

Art in the Albemarle Area
by: Talmage Dunn
In this period of social distancing you might want to try doing a little rock painting.
If you think about it Irocks have been around for quite a long time. Many of us used
to kick them around and now... we paint them. It is just a rock, but when you paint it, a
new world of art opens up to you. A wide range of emotions are elicited when someone
finds a painted rock. I have had the opportunity to see these responses. A cancer
patient has her world brightened by a group of “rockers” placing several for her to find.
A small child gazing with wonder at the tiny rock she just found. One of our older neighbors
was cherishing the memories evoked by a simple painting on a stone. Amazing is
an understatement for this, after all, we have been painting on stone since the prehistoric
period, think petroglyphs, hieroglyphs, etc. So get yourself some rocks and give it
a try... you won’t regret it and you just might find a new way to relieve stress.
I hope you have taken the time to try and put some paint on paper, or canvas, or even
a rock. Acrylic painting is fun and easy to accomplish. I want you to mix some paints
together, two at a time, to see what different colors will come from this mixture. If you
have access to a color wheel, fantastic,(you can always find one on the internet), this
may help you get started, However, seeing the expected colors on a color wheel and
actually mixing the paint in a hands-on manner may yield differing results. I suggest
you try the “hands-on” approach. Try varying the amount of each color and different
tones will appear. This is your “starting” point to becoming a successful artist. Learning
what your particular brand of colors will do when mixed. ( not all brands yield the same
tones of color) Make a note in your journal or create a chart that shows the different
mixtures with the brand you use. It is fun to do and makes for some interesting color
combinations. To create your own color chart, draw a grid with your colors, write along
the top of the grid the different colors and different colors written down the left side of
the grid. Paint a line from the left side to the right of the first color you will be using, (do
this for each color). Then, paint a vertical line from top to bottom of the first color and
so on until you have a color grid and you see how each color mixed with another. So
you can now create the color combination you are seeking, you may want to vary the
tones for different colors.
Sometimes you could run into a “painter’s block” and have no idea what to paint.
When this happens to me I just throw some paint on canvas and see where the painting
takes me. Another idea is to look at the season of the year, such as Fall, and see if
a general theme comes to mind. Whatever it is that is causing your block will generally
disappear as you start to create a painting. Don’t get discouraged. It happens to us all.
The main thing for you as an artist is to get some paint on canvas, relax, and just lose
yourself in the painting.
The Fall season is coming as are the beautiful colors of that time of year. Go out enjoy
the beauty and then come in and paint! You can do this from your own backyard. Paint
some of the plants or birds that visit your yard. They have beautiful colors. Remember
it’s your art … you can’t make a mistake if it comes from the heart!
Feel free to contact me by e-mail bowhuntor@yahoo.com or by phone 252-267-5437.

Orthodox Christianity
A “Good Shoe” for Sunday Morning
One of the first things a visitor might notice when she visits an Orthodox Church for
the first time is that it is very “liturgical.” That in itself may feel strange, as it seems
that everything is done the same week in and week out.
This is understandable. For many Christians, the Sunday morning service is not liturgical.
That does not mean the service is “unplanned.” Indeed, most churches do a lot
of planning and preparation every week before Sunday. The pastor may sit down with
his or her worship team. The music, the instruments, the powerpoint projection, and the
whole sequence is carefully thought out.
And there are some churches who want to be completely free and extemporaneous.
So the very idea of a liturgy that has existed for over a thousand years seems alien. In
Orthodox Christianity, there is no sense of “planning out” the service every week. The
Scripture readings, the hymns, and even the prayers have been set down already, and
for a very long time.
It is not exactly the case that “everything is done the same.” There is an eight-week
rotation of basic Sunday hymns, and a bank of literally hundreds of hymns out of which
one or two are selected, depending on the holiday. Christmas and Easter are the two
main holidays -- but in Orthodoxy (and also in the Catholic, Episcopalian, and Lutheran
traditions), every single day is a holiday that celebrates an event in the life of Jesus, or
one of Jesus’ friends (i.e., “saints).
Obviously, the Scriptures change from week to week. In liturgy, there is a reading from
one of the Gospels, and another reading from the rest of the New Testament. Orthodoxy
has a one year long rotation called the “lectionary” that it follows: Christmas (and every
holy day) has its own Gospel and Epistle reading, and so does every Sunday numbered
from Pentecost. This year, September 6th is the thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost, so
we know that the New Testament reading will be 1 Corinthians 16.13-24, and the Gospel
will be Matthew 21.33-42.
The prayers during Liturgy never change. They are always the same. Occasionally, additional
prayers will be inserted for specific needs -- like special prayers for the Coronavirus
pandemic, or the approach of hurricanes or care for people who are in need.
The idea of unchanging prayer may be the hardest pill to swallow for some folk. One
by Fr Jonathan Tobias, MDiv, MSEd
might say, “Didn’t Jesus condemn this when He said ‘But when ye pray, use not vain
repetitions, as the heathen do’?”
But Jesus condemned the vanity of “vain repetition,” not repetition itself. It was the
mindless, not-really-being-there act of going through the motions that Jesus warned
against. That is a problem with which all Christians grapple.
Repetition can be a very good thing. Having a familiar “program” that never changes
actually frees the mind to focus only on God, and not “what’s coming next?”
C S Lewis said as much in his delightful book, Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer:
“As long as you notice, and have to count, the steps, you are not yet dancing but only
learning to dance. A good shoe is a shoe you don’t notice. Good reading becomes possible
when you need not consciously think about eyes, or light, or print, or spelling. The
perfect church service would be one we were almost unaware of; our attention would
have been on God.”
That is exactly what we try to do in Divine Liturgy every Sunday morning, week in and
week out.

Museum of the Albemarle
As we are approaching the anniversary of the
tragic events that occurred on September 11,
2001, time should be taken to remember and reflect.
The United States observes September 11 as Patriot
Day. This day commemorates those who lost their
lives during the attacks on the World Trade Center,
passengers and crew of Flight 93, and those at the
Pentagon. However, this day also remembers those
who were injured, those who assisted the injured,
and those who gave their lives in the attempt to save
others.
In 2019 President Donald Trump made this Proclamation:
“On Patriot Day, we solemnly remember the
nearly 3,000 people who perished on September
11, 2001. With gratitude, we honor the brave first
responders, resolute members of our military, and ordinary
Americans who showed extraordinary courage
to save others on that fateful day. We will always be
grateful for the heroic men and women of our Armed
Forces who fought in defense of our country in the
aftermath of the largest terrorist attack on American
soil, and we will never forget those who made the
ultimate sacrifice to defend our liberty and freedom.”
To commemorate this tragedy in our nation’s history,
moments of silence are taken, flags are flown at halfstaff,
and many ceremonies to remember that day
occur across our country.
By Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle
However, recently numerous aspects of our life that
have been altered. Many ways in which we once
celebrated events have had to be reconfigured.
Commemorations and memorial ceremonies have
changed. All of these different ways of how we live,
interact, work, commemorate and remember should
be recorded for future generations. Museums help
record these events for future generations through
artifacts, photographs, and stories.
The Museum of the Albemarle is located at 501 S.
Water Street, Elizabeth City, NC. (252) 335-1453.
Hours are Monday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Closed Sundays and State Holidays. Serving
Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates,

is the northeast regional history museum of the North

resources to build North Carolina’s social, cultural
and economic future.

How to help maintain your immune system with fermentation
(BPT) - No matter what season or time of year, we all
know the importance of a healthy immune system and
the central role it plays in overall well-being. While sleep,
healthy eating and a balanced lifestyle are all essential
for a healthy immune system, clinical studies show
fermented supplements are an effective approach to
supporting good gut and immune health.
“Your immune system is an important factor in maintaining
health at any age,” says registered dietitian Keri
Gans. “Fermentation is getting a lot of attention for its
ability to support the gut and the immune system.”
Gans answers top questions about fermentation and how
it helps support the digestive system and immune health:
What is fermentation?
Fermented foods support gut health, an important part of
the immune system. Fermentation happens when organic
material (usually from plants) is broken down by microorganisms
like yeast and bacteria. Many of those microorganisms
are part of the microbiome in the gut.
One fermented food is sauerkraut, a well-recognized
food that has been around for centuries. Sauerkraut is
cabbage that has been fermented with probiotic bacteria
such as lactobacillus. While the cabbage is being
fermented, the bacteria produce metabolites that affect
the texture, taste and nutritional qualities of the food.
These non-living metabolites are postbiotics, which are
an essential part of the fermentation process.
Probiotic vs. postbiotic
Many people have heard of probiotics supporting digestive
health. Probiotics are live microorganisms that can
be present in foods like yogurt. However, when focusing
on fermented products, the benefits also come from
postbiotics. Postbiotics are non-living metabolites and
compounds produced by microorganisms like yeast or
bacteria during a fermentation process. Instead of adding
live bacteria to your gut, you are adding their metabolites.
Postbiotics in turn support the good bacteria already in
your gut.
How do you get the postbiotics in fermentation?
Incorporate fermented foods into your diet like kombucha,
kefir, sauerkraut, miso and sourdough bread. If you
don’t like the taste of fermented foods, don’t have regular
access to them, and perhaps don’t want to eat a lot of
them, fermented supplements are an easy option to get
the benefits of postbiotics to support your gut health and
immune system. Postbiotics don’t have bacteria that
need to be kept alive, so they don’t need refrigeration,
which means you can take it “on the go.”
7 Days a week 10 - 5
When researching fermented supplements, look for Epi-
Cor, a first-of-its-kind fermentate ingredient that taps the
natural power of fermentation to deliver immune and gut
health benefits in your vitamin and supplement products.
EpiCor fermentate is a whole food ingredient, meaning
nothing is extracted or purified; it is like a multivitamin for
your immune system. Additionally, clinical studies indicate
EpiCor fermentate may help support nasal health year
around.
Three supplements that contain EpiCor are Country Life,
Healthy Origins and Align Kombucha On-The-Go. For
more information and a full list of products, visit epicorhealth.com.
Why eat fermented foods and supplements?
It’s important that people understand that you should
support your immune system every day. Fermented foods
and supplements support immune health and gut health.
These foods and supplements support the gut microbiome,
the complex system of microorganisms that make
up a healthy environment in your digestive tract.
“It’s critical to take care of your health every day. That
starts with supporting your immune system,” says Gans.
“Fermented foods and supplements help you do just
that.”

North Carolina Bow Hunters Association
by: Talmage Dunn
Whew! The dog days of August are behind
us and we can look forward to cooler
weather and … DEER SEASON! If you are
bowhunter I know you been out practicing,
checking your equipment, practicing, sharpening
broadheads, practicing, replacing bad
arrows, practicing, checking safety equipment
and... oh yeas,,, did I mention practicing? There
is no redo on a misplaced shot. An archer owes
it to the game he hunts and the animals he
hunts to make a well placed shot! Practice is the
only way to get to there. A season may come
down to only one or two opportunities to take
a shot at the quarry in question. A good way to
prepare was to go to as many 3-D shoots as
possible in the early part of September., however,
social distancing has nullified that opportunity.
Better yet, build a practice target in your
yard. Get in a position to take a shot and shoot
only once. Ask yourself, “How did I do?” Did you
hit in the vital area? That is pretty much how it
will be in the forest. One shot... well placed....
however, if it was a poor shot at the target, what
did you do wrong? Continue to practice... poor
marksmanship is not a good excuse. Learn your
effective distance and do not shoot at any game
animal beyond that distance.
Are you familiar with the game laws for this
year? Have you read through them to note
any changes from last year? Keep a copy of
the game laws in your vehicle. If you have a
question about any of the laws contact your
local game warden or call the NCWRC for clarification.
Many licensing stations always have
copiesavailable.
Many bow hunters hunt on private lands. Are
you familiar with the Landowner Protection Act?
It states: Sportsmen need written permission,
dated within the last 12 months, signed by
the landowner or leasee, to hunt, fish, or trap
on lands posted with signs no more than 200
yards apart or purple paint 100 yards apart. The
property should also be posted at entrances
and corners. You must carry written permission
on your person. If a hunting club has leased the
land, hunters must have a copy of their hunting
club membership and a copy of the landowner’s
permission given to that club, Wildlife officers
will enforce the Landowner’s Protection Act
(LPA).
The LPA does not change general trespass
laws nor have any effect on lands which are
not posted. It does not repeal any local acts
currently in effect that require written permission
to hunt, fish, or trap.
North Carolina law encourages owners of land
to make property available for recreational use.
The law states that a landowner who allows
someone, without charge, onto their land for
recreational purposes owes them the same duty
of care they would owe a trespasser.
We, as responsible hunters, need to be aware
of the game laws for our state and local counties.
Be sure we understand and are cognizant
of our responsibilities and the ordinances for the
areas we hunt.
In North Carolina, we have a multitude of Game
lands available to be hunted. Take advantage
of the opportunity afforded us by these game
lands!
Until the next issue, practice more, check your
equipment, know your game animals, and good
luck in the coming season.
Respectfully submitted.

The
Outer
Banks
Wave
by: Joyce Bornfriend
Have you ever wondered about the significance of feathers
in Native American cultures? You will find them
in jewelry, decorations, weaponry, aids for healing, gifts for
bravery or other important actions, and as treasured connections
to both the natural and spiritual worlds.
The specific meaning of a feather varies somewhat from
tribe to tribe; however, in general Native Americans believe
that each bird species represents specific characteristics
that may be “gifted” to humans through their feathers. The
individual who finds a feather is considered to be most fortunate
while the presentation of a feather is an important act in
Native cultures. It is a way of celebrating and recognizing
accomplishments.
Visitors to the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural
History Center will find beautiful examples of feather work
throughout the museum. To the trained eye, feathers can
provide all kinds of information. The way the feather is cut

or the number of feathers being used may be indications
of an individual’s tribe or their status in the tribe. The kind
of feather gives important clues to its significance For example,
many tribes consider dove feathers as peace for the
recipient while hawk feathers generally symbolize guardianship
and owl feathers represent wisdom. Because eagles
soar higher than any other bird, they have a special significance
for almost all Native American tribes. They represent
strength, bravery, and freedom. It is an honor of the highest
degree to be presented with an eagle feather from a tribal
leader or elder. Finding an eagle feather is considered an
equally important event.

The

Banks
Wave
Get Poppin’ With Jalapeños
It's not just another wave,
One thing I can always count on to be going strong in my late summer
garden is my crop of peppers – particularly my jalapeño peppers.
After making all manner of salsas and toppings for tortillas and tacos,
I’m making some proper poppers today, stuffing jalapeño halves with a
cheese mixture and topping with buttered panko bread crumbs. And, if
you’re into canning, I have a Jalapeño And Basil Jelly that’s wonderful on
a Ritz cracker with cream cheese.
I have plenty of jalapeño plants in my garden, a lot of them volunteers
from last year, so I generally know what I’m getting taste- and heat-wise.
However, if you’re buying them from the market, particularly if they’re out
of season, sometimes the flavor might be there but the heat isn’t. If I’m
using jalapeños, I want the heat, so I look for white striations on the peppers,
running the length of the pepper. These “stretch” marks are indicative
of the amount of stress the pepper has undergone which has a direct
impact on the heat of the pepper. Generally, the older the pepper, the
more stress it’s endured, the more striations you’ll see, and the hotter the
pepper will be. A red jalapeño, being a more mature pepper, will generally
be hotter than a green one, although it will be sweeter.

Jalapeño And Basil Jelly
Yield: 6-7 8-oz canning jars
1 ½ cups cider vinegar
6 cups sugar
1 cup chopped bell pepper, seeds removed
½ cup chopped jalapeños, seeds removed
6-8 oz. pectin, depending on brand (check
directions)
2/3 cup chopped green onions
¼ cup shredded fresh basil
Sterilize jars, rings, and lids by boiling for 10
minutes. Remove with tongs and let air dry.
Rosie’s Jalapeño Poppers
About 12 jalapeños
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 heaping TB grated mozzarella
2 heaping TB grated cheddar
4 pieces cooked bacon, crumbled
2 TB finely chopped red onion
2 TB chopped chives
Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise and scrape out
white ribs. Capsaisin, the chemical compound in
jalapeños which contains the heat, is concentrated
in the ribs of the peppers, so you can control some
of the heat by removing this part and the attached
seeds.
Place on baking sheet.
Combine rest of ingredients until well-mixed.
Spoon into halves.
Sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs, pressing into
cheese mixture, and top with a thin pat of butter.
Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until bread
crumbs are golden brown.
In large saucepan, combine sugar and vinegar.
Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes. Add
jalapeños and bell peppers and boil another
minute. Add pectin, green onions, and basil
and boil one more minute. Pour into jars.
Clean rims and threads with clean towel
dipped in boiling water, then secure tops.
Invert 30 seconds, then turn upright to cool
and seal.
If, as I do, you have a bounty of jalapeños and
basil right now, you might think about making
two batches of this jelly – using red peppers
for one batch and green for the other – then
you can pair them together for Christmas
presents. What’s better than a special gift
from your garden?
Besides serving on crackers or bagels with
cream cheese, you might consider offering the
jelly with ham, hot wings, cocktail meatballs,
pork chops, or cornbread.
Enjoy!

Homemade electric power
By Jim Van Sant
Reprinted with permissions from Backwoods Home Magazine Issue #131 • September/October, 2011
Ever wonder how you could live off the grid when the
sun isn’t shining on your solar panels?
Our homestead alternative energy system is based on 12
volts direct current. That is what your car battery supplies.
Many smaller store-bought generators supply only
115 VAC alternating electricity. They are great for powering
up your power tools or standard home appliances but
are pretty inefficient for charging 12-volt batteries.
If you are into 12 VDC (volts direct current) for charging
your car battery or powering up your off-the-grid alternative
energy system you need a 12-volt DC generator.
As a homesteader having no special training, licenses, or
badges, I wanted an inexpensive solution for electricity
that does not require any special skills or tools.
We all know our cars and trucks contain a 12-volt alternator
or generator that is powered by the engine. It keeps
the lights, radio, and heater fan supplied with electricity.
I wanted to generate some electricity and not spend a lot
of money. My goal was to charge a dead car battery, play
my radio, light up some indoor and outdoor lights, run my
computer, charge up some flashlight batteries, and run
some other low power gadgets.
A fun destination for us these days is a trip to the local
hardware store. We walk the aisles and get ideas for new
projects we hope to do someday. On a recent trip I spotted
something unusual. In a row of $200-300 pressure
washers, I saw a unit sporting a large handwritten $25
price tag. The manager said the new washer had been
returned and did not work, and the estimated cost of the
repairs would be more than the unit had sold for originally,
so they were just trying to get rid of it. It had a new
Honda gas engine and that alone had to be worth more
than $25. The water pump had failed, but I didn’t need a
power washer. I had another project in mind.
would be lined up with the drive pulley on the vertical
shaft gas engine. I used my electric drill to drill some
holes in the metal brackets to match up the mounting
holes on the alternator. The sturdy brackets were attached
to the metal engine frame and the used alternator
with ¼-inch machine screws, lock washers, and nuts.
A challenge for me was fitting the pulleys to the correct
size rubber belt. The belts come in many shapes and sizes
and it took me three tries to get the right one. The size
and depth of the pulley grooves is important to prevent
early belt wear from slippage.
I was going to rig a strong spring for a belt tensioner. For
now I just used some shims behind the mounting bracket
to tighten up the belt.
Now for the big test run. The nearly new gas engine fired
up with the first pull on the starter cord. Despite the load
resistance from the pulley belt and the alternator, the
engine turned the alternator at a good steady RPM.
Voltage meter in hand, I checked the voltage output and
it was zero. No power. Shock and panic! Naturally my first
thought was that my bargain alternator wasn’t working,
but then I remembered that an alternator must be connected
to a 12-volt battery to establish a “field current.”
When I connected the alternator terminals to my storage
battery with jumper cables, all was well. The battery
charged to full capacity after a few minutes.
Now it was clear that I had a new electric power-producing
capability. On a dark, cold, rainy day when my solar
panels or wind generator are not producing charging current,
I now have another option for self-reliance. Any lawn
mower engine from a garage sale could be used with any
used car alternator for this project.
My homemade 12-VDC generator
The alternator was positioned so the drive pulley
lined up with the one from the engine.
On the way home, I stopped by the local auto dismantler
yard. I was looking for the largest, cheapest, cleanest
truck alternator I could find on the part shelves. The
owner quickly understood what I was trying to do, handed
me a large truck alternator, and rang me up for $20. Back
at my workbench, I dug around and found some scrap
heavy-gauge sheet metal pieces to make some mounting
brackets. By cutting and pasting I was able to match
where I would mount the alternator so its drive pulley

Wanted: Convictions at any Price - Part 1 by Gila Hayes
51-year old Ron Michaels didn’t seem like a very lucky
man in 2005 when, wrongfully accused, he was tried
for murder. He was extremely fortunate in some regards,
however, and one bit of luck was the informal networking
between lawyers that put Michaels in contact with attorney
Jim Fleming when he needed help most.
Fleming, now a Network Affiliated Attorney, spent about
half an hour telling the story of defending Ron Michaels
during a class at which I was present. Intrigued by Fleming’s
report, I sought more details in a book about the case
entitled The Bison King. Together, these sources tell a story
containing all the elements of a riveting drama–youthful
indiscretions resurfacing decades later, lying cops and
ambitious politicians, a lawyer obsessed with showing his
client’s innocence, and more.
After the bars close on August 11, 1979, some acquaintances
continue socializing at the home of a woman and
her fiancé who are part of the group. Four will play pivotal
roles as events unfold. Two are close friends and they
have a passing acquaintance from work with the third; the
fourth does not know the other three, but is close to the
fiancé of the woman hosting the after-closing party. He
lives nearby, so decides to hang out at the party, since his
girlfriend is working.
The 1972 Impala in which the first three are driving has a
flat tire a couple of blocks from the party location, but alas,
their spare tire is flat. After limping the car to the party, they
walk to a nearby service station where they find a car of
similar make and they steal a tire from it, leaving their tire
behind.
21-year old Jeffrey Hammill is dead, and the cause of his
demise will never be absolutely known. Without evidence
of a struggle, blood spatter or defensive wounds, the
coroner lists the cause as “unsolved, violent death.” Law
enforcement develops a list of 27 potential witnesses that
include the young people in whose company Hammill
spent his final hours: Ron Michaels, Jeff Cardinal, Debra
Segler, Terry Olson, Dale Todd and several others. As word
of the death spread, a couple comes forward to report that
they drove past the highway scene at 3 a.m., and saw a
few men standing around a car that looked like a Chevy
Impala, with three taillights on each side, round on the
bottom and flat on the top.
Law enforcement interviews and reports, the autopsy, and
other evidence do not point conclusively homicide. The
lead investigator on the case theorizes that Hammill was
hit by something protruding from a vehicle. Sporadic investigation
into the case continues over several years, yielding
various theories, but nothing leads to a conclusion.
A Case Resurrected
Before the fateful night, Hammill fathered three children.
One initiates a search for her birth parents, and braces the
sheriff’s office to explain why her biological father’s death
went unsolved. A sheriff’s deputy digs up the old files and
decides he is going to reopen the case, but he can’t draft
enough manpower to read through all of the old reports,
re-interview everybody involved, and find something with
which to restart the case. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension (BCA), however, has a cold case unit to
which he appeals for help.
Reprinted with permission from the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network Inc.
https://armedcitizensnetwork.org
The party goes on, the tire gets changed, and eventually
the two close friends tell the work acquaintance that
they’re too drunk to drive him home, as earlier promised.
The work acquaintance, not being particularly friendly with
anyone else at the party, is irked and leaves on foot. His
body is found about an hour later on the road about 2½
miles from the party, having bled out from a massive head
wound. The body position, as Fleming diagrams, is at
about a 45-degree angle to the road, with the head toward
the center of the road, knees at the edge of the asphalt. He
is dressed entirely in black, has dark hair, and is wearing
nothing reflective. Beneath the huge scrape that ripped
his scalp, the autopsy will reveal a basilar skull fracture
an unusual injury, because it fractures the thickest bone in
the skull, right at the base. The carotid arteries transverse
that bone, and in this case, they ruptured, so he bled out
rapidly.
There he learns that BCA cannot involve the cold case
unit in the investigation unless it is a homicide. The deputy
goes to the county coroner, who, Fleming relates, “has
written several books in which she talks about communication
with dead people.” The coroner reviews the death
certificate, autopsy report and photos, and reclassifies it as
homicide.

of government they want.
When they want change, they
must change it.”

4 reasons to support your local bakery
(BPT) - COVID-19 has sent many businesses into a
tailspin. According to a recent study, more than 100,000
small businesses have closed since the beginning of
the pandemic. For those businesses able to reopen,
it’s usually for limited hours with limited offerings, which
dramatically cuts profit. Unlike chain stores, independent
small businesses lack access to a large parent company
and the resources - including large capital reserves - that
typically come with it.
As summer ends, we are starting to see more local
businesses open safely. During this time of transition and
beyond, these businesses need your support. Consider
your local bakeries, for example. Recent coronavirus
restrictions are impacting small and medium-sized bakeries
particularly. Beyond serving delicious breads, cakes,
pastries and donuts, independent bakeries often play a
vital role in their local communities, providing affordable
baked goods made with skill and passion.
Bakeries also offer employment, and support the community
in other ways, including sponsoring and participating
in events and activities. Local businesses support their
respective economies, and now more than ever, they
need the help of their residents. One way to help your
community thrive is to support your local entrepreneurs.
While there are many, here are the top four reasons to
support your local bakery this summer and beyond:
1. Bakeries can practice social distancing and safe sales.
If you find yourself craving sweets more during quarantine,
you’re not alone. You probably have a favorite
treat only your local bakery can provide, but red velvet
cupcakes were 113% more popular in the Midwest, and
donut holes were 369% more popular in the West during
the first month of social distancing, according to a recent
Grubhub report.
Fortunately, quarantine and social distancing don’t mean
giving up your favorite treats from local bakers. Many
independent bakeries are modifying services and menu
options to continue to serve customers in a safe way.
This includes things like limited hours, curbside pickup
and at-home assembly kits so people have everything
they need to decorate a delicious treat at home with the
bakery quality they enjoy.
2. You get access to the freshest variety of specialty
treats.
The baking spirit has inspired many people while social
distancing. The Economist reported that searches for
flour and other ingredients soared, as did other Google
searches related to baking. Baking at home is a wonderful
activity, but your treats probably don’t taste the same
as your favorite baker’s offerings. Why? Bakers have
years of expertise and the finest ingredients to make
foods that just can’t be replicated at home.
While people are struggling to find baking staples like
yeast and flour at their local grocery, many bakers get
supplies from specialty companies like Dawn Foods
that manufactures and provides high-quality ingredients
sourced from top suppliers around the world. Dawn’s
specialty baking supplies enable bakers to create treats
that are impossible to replicate at home, like gourmet
donuts.
3. Bakers give back to their communities.
Bakers are the heart of a community. They help memorialize
important moments and events in everyone’s
lives. Supporting your local baker means supporting your
community. In honor of its 100th anniversary, Dawn recognized
the efforts of 10 bakers across the United States,
who give back their time, talents and means to local
causes, and helped them expand their local efforts.
For example, Pasticcini Bakery in Weymouth, Massachusetts,
donates on an as-needed basis to community
fundraisers in addition to an annual donation to the
Cardinal Cushing Center, an organization that educates
and prepares children and young adults with a disability
or special needs for life experiences. The SmallCakes
Cupcakery and Creamery located in Baltimore, Maryland,
recently donated to a local farming co-op that looks to
open a grocery store dedicated to bringing healthy food
options to a community experiencing food scarcity. No
matter what the cause, local bakers go above and beyond
to identify needs within the community.
4. There’s always a reason to celebrate and connect.
Celebrating is part of the human experience, lifting spirits
and honoring memorable milestones. While birthdays,
graduations, anniversaries, holidays and family get-togethers
look a little different during COVID-19, a delicious
baked good from a local bakery is a simple yet effective
way to celebrate and bring a smile to everyone’s face
during difficult times.
Call your local bakery to check availability and open
hours. Placing an order and picking up a treat helps you
make any day special. You’ll be able to chat with your
local baker - a simple pleasure many have missed as
we shelter-in-place. As an added bonus, you can feel
good about supporting someone who’s dedicated to the
community and working hard, rising at the crack of dawn,
to keep their dream alive and maintain a small business
during tough times.

The History of the Liberty Bell
In August 1752, the Liberty Bell is transported
up the Delaware River toward Philadelphia. On
September 1, a city official would report: “The Bell is
come on shore and in good order.”
The Bell’s First Note, by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris
The bell had been ordered for Philadelphia’s state
house. The Speaker of the Assembly had specifically
requested that the bell be inscribed with a Bible
verse: “Proclaim Liberty thro’ all the Land to all the
Inhabitants thereof” (Leviticus 25:10). The verse
seemed appropriate because Pennsylvania was
celebrating the 50th year of its Charter of Privileges.
That charter had given the people greater ability to
rule themselves through their legislature.
The people were excited! Back then, a bell was an
important part of town life. It could be used to toll
news of anything—a fire, a celebration, or a funeral.
Better yet, this bell had been cast by a master founder
in England: Thomas Lester of Whitechapel Bell
Foundry. You have to wonder what on earth the people
thought when the bell was hung and tested for
the first time. Can you believe that the bell cracked
on its very first use?
Whitechapel still exists today and gives this explanation:
“Good bell metal is extremely brittle . . . . If a
bell is struck and not allowed to ring freely, because
either the clapper or some part of the frame or
fittings are in contact with the bell, then a crack can
very easily develop.”
Hmm. The crack in the bell could be due to “user
error”?!
Either way, the bell could not be returned, so two local
founders attempted to recast it. They added more
copper, believing it would make the bell less brittle.
Sadly, they added too much copper and ruined the
pure tone of the bell. So they tried again, this time
adding more tin. Apparently, the second recasting
didn’t really help, either. The tone of the bell was still
flat.
Nevertheless, the bell was used for years. It hung in
the steeple at the state house and tolled many major
events. Perhaps most famously, it tolled on July 8,
1776, when the Declaration of Independence was
read publicly in Philadelphia.
by: Tara Ross
In 1777, the bell was evacuated from the city and
hidden under floorboards in a church basement in
Allentown. The British were coming and locals feared
that the bell would be captured, melted down, and
used to make musket balls. The bell was returned
to Philadelphia when the British finally evacuated
the city in June 1778. Thus, the bell was able to toll,
once again, in celebration of Cornwallis’s surrender
in 1781.
The crack that you see in the bell today was not
present during any of these historic events. There
are many stories about how the crack first appeared.
It may have begun in July 1835, as Chief Justice
John Marshall’s death was being tolled. Either way,
the crack seems to have become significantly worse
when the bell was rung on Washington’s birthday in
1846.
Obviously, the bell couldn’t be used anymore. Instead,
it traveled around the country in the late 1800s
and early 1900s. Today, it is kept in the Liberty Bell
Center in Independence National Historical Park.
If you haven’t yet seen the bell, it is well worth the
visit.

lawyer. She is the author of The Indispensable

“Certificate of Need” Health Care Laws Made COVID-19 Much Worse
Flatten the curve” was a noble goal for 2020, but the
curve only existed due to a half-century-old law. “Certificate
of need” laws in nearly three dozen states protect
healthcare cartels, but wreak havoc on society amid a
pandemic.
Of all the red tape tying up the market for healthcare,
the “certificate of need” (CON) laws might be the most
obviously useless.
Thirty-four states and the District of Columbia enforce
some version, whereby a state board or commission
artificially limits the number of hospitals and emergency
rooms built or medical devices or services acquired.
The problem CON laws seek to solve is too much
access, competition, and investment in the healthcare
industry. You read that right.
The idea goes back to 1964 when New York adopted the
first CON law. It was theorized that free-market competition
incentivized healthcare providers to overbuild and
then overcharge patients or overhospitalize them to cover
the extra costs.
In 1974, Congress encouraged other states to follow
New York’s lead in order to receive federal funding. The
National Health Planning and Resources Development
Act led to 49 states passing their own CON laws, but in
1986, Congress ended its CON requirement for federal
funding after seeing no financial benefit, according to the
Institute for Justice.
The process to be approved for a CON can take years
and cost millions of dollars, according to lawyers Aaron
Gott and Jarod Bona of the competition and antitrust law
firm Bona Law PC. There is always the risk of being denied
for whatever reason, and then all the effort would be
a waste. What kind of provider could afford that risk?
In Virginia, for instance, a CON application may be rejected
if the new building or machine would “undermine the
ability of essential community providers to maintain their
financial viability.”
According to the Mercatus Center at George Mason
University, nursing homes and long-term care providers
must get permission to add more bed space in 34 states.
Twenty-eight states require hospitals to get approval
before adding beds.
Thankfully, 22 of the 34 states rolled back their CON laws
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to
the Pacific Legal Foundation. Unfortunately, the damage
was already done and it’s quite possible the rules will be
reinstituted once the coronavirus spread subsides.
It’s hard to imagine a CON law in almost any other industry.
Regulations often have so-called unintended consequences
that limit new competition from rising up against
bigger businesses, but the CON laws are easier to see
through. Should grocery store chains decide when a new
grocer comes to market? What if Facebook, Twitter, and
YouTube decided there was no more need for alternative
social media platforms?
Defending the history of consolidation in the healthcare
industry isn’t easy either. In 1980, there were more than
1.3 million hospital beds, whereas in 2015 that number
dropped to below 900,000, despite a population increase
of more than 94 million.
Now, the drop in hospital beds is not solely attributable
to CON laws, but how many more beds would have been
nice to have in 2020? As of May 8, over 77,000 have died
with COVID-19 in the US alone. It is uncertain how many
deaths for lack of cancer screenings, kidney treatment,
and other services will occur.
Additionally, more bed space for nursing homes and longterm
care facilities could have mitigated some of the risk
of explosions in coronavirus transmission.
by: Gavin Wax
At a time when tens of millions of Americans are out of
work, it’s worth considering every little thing that contributed
to the rush to shut down the economy. How much
less of a curve would have needed flattening if more
facilities and services were freely brought to market?

“You assume far too readily that man is a paragon of justice,
forgetting, apparently, that he has a long and savage
history. He has killed other animals not only for meat but
for pleasure; he has enslaved his neighbors, murdered his
opponents, and obtained the most unholy sadistical joy
from the agony of others. It is not impossible that we shall,
in the course of our travels, meet other intelligent creatures
far more worthy than man to rule the universe.”

Plan Ahead – Times Are Changing By: Stella Knight

A trust provides a unique arrangement for the
prudent management of your assets for your and
Stella Knight
The lina. I doubt that many of us could have foreseen
how our lives would be affected by COVID-19. This
may sound morbid, but now is a good time to either
prepare or update your estate planning documents.
What documents am I referring to? The following
are what I consider to be the essential documents
for estate planning.
1. Will.
2. Living Will.
3. Durable Power of Attorney.
4. Health Care Power of Attorney.
5. Trust – Revocable or Living Trust.
A will states how your property is to be distributed
at your death. If you have young children, you may
want to set up a trust for your assets until your
children are older and name guardians to care for
your children.
A living will specifies what kind of end-of-life care
you want - or don’t want - such as extraordinary
measures like a feeding tube or mechanical ventilation.
This is especially useful if you become terminally
ill or suffer severe dementia, and you become
unable to communicate your wishes.
A durable power of attorney is a legal document in
which you give authority to another person - whether
family member, friend, attorney, or bank - to act
on your behalf (to make financial decisions) should
you become disabled, incapacitated, or need their
help. This document protects your financial interests
and avoids court interference.
A health care power of attorney gives the person
you designate as your health care agent
broad powers to make medical decisions for you,
including the power to consent to your doctor not
giving treatment or stopping treatment necessary
to keep you alive. This power exists only for those
health care decisions for which you are unable to
give informed consent. Again, as long as you are
capable of making your own medical decisions, you
continue to do so.

your family’s benefit. A living trust provides for the
management of your investments during your lifetime
and avoids probate at your death. You direct
your trustee to manage the assets prudently and
distribute the income to you. A testamentary trust
is a trust created in your will at your death. It does
not avoid probate. Probate is the court-monitored
procedure to pass your assets at your death. Probate
administration will be discussed in a separate
article.
If you prepared these documents several years
ago, it may be worthwhile to review them. Has your
situation changed? Have you recently married or
divorced? Have you welcomed new grandchildren?
Perhaps the coronavirus may be just the
push you need to call an attorney and begin the
process.
Having difficulty getting started? The first steps are
to:
1. Identify your assets.
2. Identify your liabilities.
3. Determine how each asset is titled (individually,
joint with rights of survivorship, etc.)
No one can predict the unexpected and it is important
to plan for emergencies. I do not know when
this “shelter at home” order will end, but I do know
you don’t need wait for the next crisis before you
seek professional advice. Yes, legal services are
considered an essential business.

Northeast North Carolina Family History - Mills in Eastern North Carolina?
By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com
Last month I wrote about the 1890 Currituck Business
Directory when in fact I meant to write about mills
in eastern North Carolina. It seemed relevant to write
about the reason we know that there were mills and that
information comes from the business directories. After
reading that Wilson Walker had a mill, I started researching
mills in our area of North Carolina. Hyde County’s
1896 directory had ten mills listed and I started to see
questions as to how the mills could exist without streams
or rivers. Seven of Hyde’s are listed as wind-mills with
the one on Ocracoke run by Eli Howard.
The power for Wilson Walker’s mill is listed as steam.
Five other steam mills are given: T.P Hall in Coinjock,
G.E. Stevenson, and Frost and Dudley in Snowden,
and in Moyock, C.K Vandecarr and W. L. Powers. Most
were gristmills and if you remember back to Rowan and
Martin’s Laugh-In, they would tell you to “Look that up
in your Funk and Wagnalls…” where p. 283 of my 1974
Funk & Wagnalls Desk Dictionary gives gristmills the
simple definition as: “A mill for grinding grain.” Of course
our ancestors had to grind their crops for flour even on
the Outer Banks. Currituck’s mill owners didn’t give the
grain being milled but Hyde’s gristmills were all listed for
corn. Most counties list at least one saw mill and some
mill owners had both.
There were non-population censuses taken from 1850
- 1880. These included census schedules for agriculture,
industry and manufacturing. Sadly Currituck does
not appear in the manufacturing census but there are a
few mills available in an industry census for 1870 - the
only one available on Ancestry.com at the moment. On
June 1, 1870, Isaac Bell, E.H. Hunter, what appears to
read B.C. Walker and William C. Stone all have mills in
Moyock township. Isaac Bell had invested $1,000 dollars
in his saw mill which had one machine run by steam rated
with 16 horsepower. He employed 2 males over 16
years of age and over eight months paid $150 in wages.
He produced 50,000 feet of lumber worth $500.
William C. Stone had a saw mill and a gristmill in
Moyock township AND a grist mill in Poplar Branch township
too. The gristmill in Poplar Branch had a capital
investment of $1,000. It was a steam powered mill with
one machine capable of six horsepower. He employed
ten males over 16 and 3 females over 15 who worked
for ten months for $300 paid out in wages. He lists the
worth of grain after grinding as $2,500.
The other person listed in Currituck’s census for
industry in Poplar Branch in 1870 is Enoch Poyner. He
owns a cotton gin with $500 invested. He is literally
using one horse and says it provides two horsepower to
power his single machine. He employs two men over 16
and pays out $300 in wages over three months. He produces
$1,000 in cotton and sold 5,000 pounds of cotton
seed bringing in a grand total of $200.
If you are interested in seeing how a gristmill works
there is a 22 minute YouTube video showing the final
repairs on one of them and then grinding corn which
most gristmills here did. I would skip to about the seven
minute mark to see it working - have to admit I didn’t
watch to the end as there were ads and it looked pretty
much the same after they got it running but you will get
the general idea. The video states that it is an 1890’s
Red Lion 5’ X 7” horizontal center crank steam engine
that was restored in order to fill an order for stone-ground
corn for a North Texas craft distillery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J29oGpeVdC4
I need to repent of my lack of willingness to spend
much time in these non-census schedules. Next month
I plan on explaining the benefit of Currituck’s agricultural
census and where you can find it as well as others for
free online. Keep tabs of your Covid 19 experiences as
they will be our history!!

Where Is Our Country Headed
We all have watched as our Country has changed. Instead
of working together for the greater good, we are
seeing divisiveness and anger that may end our Country
as we know it. Anger over the elections of 2016 have never
subsided and, in actuality, have increased. Then came the
Coronavirus, which isolated people from their usual routines
and shuttered small businesses. Only those large retail
businesses were allowed to remain open under certain
restrictions, leaving the small, local business to wither and
die. So many people have been affected by the shutdown
and I believe that has had a direct effect on the feelings of
desperation and anger that we are witnessing today.
be a concerted effort to restructure the very foundations of
our society. The main goals appear to be to move us into a
socialist society where big government controls everything;
the citizens rights are abridged, the first line of defense, the
police, are defunded and wealth and property are redistributed.
The questions that I pose to you are: Do we allow socialism
to take hold and allow redistribution?, Do we continue
to allow small, local businesses to fail?, Do we continue
to allow ourselves to be isolated and have our rights taken
away?
Now we see the demonstrations, rioting and looting that
is occurring in different parts of our nation. There seems to

FINANCIAL FOCUS
Financial Moves for Widows and Widowers
If you’ve recently become a widow or widower, you’re obviously dealing
with an enormous emotional burden, and coping with your grief
can seem like a full-time struggle. Unfortunately, the business of life
must go on – and the financial moves you make at this time can have a
big impact on your life.
So, as you attend to your affairs, consider the following suggestions:
• Don’t make hasty decisions. Even though you will need to make
some moves in the near future, don’t feel rushed into decisions that
may prove to be ill-advised. For example, don’t immediately sell your
home or liquidate all your stocks.
• Consult with your estate planning professional. If you and your
spouse created an estate plan involving a will, living trust or other
documents, you’ll want to consult with your estate planning professional
to determine what steps should be taken to implement these arrangements.
• Address life insurance issues. If your spouse had a life insurance
policy, you’ll want to contact your insurance agent for help in navigating
the paperwork necessary to receive the death benefit. Of course, some
financial advisors also sell life insurance within the context of your overall
financial strategy, so, if this is your situation, you’ll want to speak with
your advisor about how to handle the insurance proceeds.
• Apply for Social Security benefits. If you are 60 or older, you may be
entitled to Social Security survivor benefits, along with a one-time death
benefit. Contact your local Social Security office to stop the benefits
your spouse received and apply for the new ones for yourself.
• Change the name on financial accounts. If you and your spouse had
jointly held accounts with “right of survivorship,” the assets will typically
pass automatically to you, the surviving spouse. However, for legal

purposes, it’s still a good idea to retitle these assets in your name. This
usually only requires filling out some simple documents, which are
available from your financial institutions – bank, credit union, investment
firm, etc. But you also may need to change the beneficiary designations
on accounts held only in your name, such as your 401(k). These
designations are powerful and can even supersede instructions in your
will or living trust.
• Go over bills and debts. Review all your bills, automatic payments
and outstanding loans. If they are in your spouse’s name, or in both
your names, contact the merchant or financial services provider to
change all correspondence and account information to your name only.
For any outstanding accounts in your spouse’s name, you may need to
notify the business that all payments will be handled by your spouse’s
estate, if you choose to go that route. You may need to provide these
businesses with the contact information of your estate planning professional.
• Plan for your future. Once you’ve handled the immediate financial
needs described above, you’ll want to think about your own future. This
means you may have to update your estate plans and insurance policies.
You’ll also want to consult with your financial advisor to see what
changes, if any, you might need to make to your investment portfolio.
Only time can ease the pain of losing a spouse. But by taking care of
the mundane matters of daily living, you can at least alleviate the feelings
of being overwhelmed – and that, in itself, has value.

New Life of Currituck
by Pastor Dan Bergey
It seems that I have been repeating this verse from Psalm 16:11 a
lot lately. It says, “You will make known to me the path of life, in Your
presence is fullness of joy and in Your right hand there are pleasures
forever.” I think it keeps coming to mind because of the number of times
I have been asked, why do you have hope in the middle of this pandemic?
I will come back later to what this verse says to me but I continue to
realize the strength I receive from my relationship with God and the
boldness I received from the generations that have gone before me.
Many people say this hope comes from hard work or forcing my way
into something driven by wanting it more than someone else. The
largest hurt at times is hearing that I may have this hope simply by the
color of my skin. So, I have been asking myself where this hope comes
from and many times it takes some hard thinking. Thinking of the past,
realizing the present, hoping for a better future. I would like to share
five things that have recently come to mind through all of this. Before I
share them may I tell you that I am thankful for my past because it built
a foundation with which to start from. When I realized I had a foundation
to start from, it strengthened my resolve to go beyond the generation
before me and empowered me with a desire to inspire the next generation
to do the same.
There are five things that became wrapped up in this inspiration. First
and foremost, there was a strengthening of faith. Even through tough
times I watched past generations struggle and overcome hurt and pain
and become more compassionate about life and others than before. It
began to settle in my heart that if it worked for them it could work for me.
If this was going to work, I needed to identify areas of their lives in which
I could build on. Building relationships was a big part of what I observed
and desire to emulate. Live as an example for the world to see, this
was not do as I say, but live as I live. The Apostle Paul wrote twice in 2
Thessalonians encouraging others to follow his example. Peter writes
that Jesus left us an example to follow. Another observation was the
joy of serving others. Did you know that the best leader is a follower?
Finally, the last observation was that they wanted to pass on the things
they had learned. Not to share their knowledge but to inspire through
their failures the compassion it taught them and the passion for life that
inspired them. It is often called leaving a legacy.

that never returned home. During the war between
the states, the slain bodies of many men were never
returned home for a proper burial. After the war,
decades would pass before southerners could gather
the resources through donations to honor their dead
with memorials such as this. The monument was
intended to bring closure tothe grief inflicted by war. It
was never placed to honor the cause of the war, nor to
intimidate oroffend anyone. Itwas simply amemorial
to honor our soldiers’ sacrifice. Acentury later, this
monument has become apart ofour heritage and is
still revered bymany Pasquotank County residents as
aconnection to their ancestors. Forothers, it is artand
it is history.
The county commissioners have decided, against
popular opinion, to remove the monument. Their
decision is an offense to our history, our heritage and
to the descendants of these veterans.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans are asking if you
will stand with us in solidarity tofight against their
decision and make atax deductible donation to fund
the legal battle necessary toSave the Monument, and
leave it right where ithas peacefully rested for over
acentury. Ifyou could help, please make acheck or

Three Legged Stool by: Sen. Bob Steinburg, District 1
Special to the Albemarle Tradewinds
As a busy, regular citizen with a family and
a full-time job I tried my whole life to stay
informed with our state, local, and national government.
It wasn’t always easy, but I believe we
owe that to our veterans who have fought, bled,
and died for the greatest country in the world.
Regularly I would grow frustrated that the media
too often highlighted scandals and skirmishes
instead of the substance of the debates. And
many times, politicians were all too eager for the
media smokescreen to hide their actions (or their
inactions as is too often the case). As a conservative,
I wanted to know whose walk at the
capitol backed up their talk in the district.
That’s when I found the American Conservative
Union (ACU), which started the Conservative
Political Action Conference (more commonly
referred to as “CPAC”) in 1974 and now hosts
the largest gathering of conservatives nationally
each year. For over 50 years, ACU has led
conservatives to implement liberty throughout all
layers of government.
As important as CPAC is, I would argue that their
most impactful service to conservatives is the
annual rating of Congress and all 50 state legislatures.
That’s roughly 8,000 elected officials
in 101 legislative chambers who are evaluated
for the voting public! What is particularly unique
about ACU’s rating system is the timing of their
ratings. You see, they rate these elected officials
after the legislative sessions conclude. Many
organizations will warn of “key votes” before they
occur, allowing lawmakers to align their votes,
but ACU evaluates legislators after the votes
occur in order to gauge better how conservative
a legislator truly is.
What do they evaluate? They evaluate a broad
range of conservative issues – from fiscal and
economic, to social and cultural, to government
integrity and national security. They take their
definition of conservatism from Ronald Reagan’s
“three-legged stool,” which wisely and clearly explained
that conservatism cannot stand without
all three components.
Recently I was honored to receive the “Conservative
Excellence” rating from the American Conservative
Union. I was particularly encouraged to
receive the second highest rating of any senator
in the NC Senate with my 92% score. Only 10%
of the 170 legislators in the NC House and NC
Senate scored a 90% or better, which shows the
ACU is not a partisan facade but a true test of
conservative core values.
Maybe you’re wondering what did they evaluate?
You can read the full report at http://acuratings.
conservative.org which shows 24 different votes
ranging from SB 359 which protects children
who survive abortions, to SB 609 which expands
Opportunity Scholarships for low-income families
to afford private schooling. From HB 370 which
requires local authorities to cooperate with
federal immigration authorities like ICE, to HB 74
which refunds taxpayers for surplus tax revenue
and SB 553 which cuts burdensome and unnecessary
red tape, the ACU ratings truly evaluate
the broad spectrum of issues we tackle at the
General Assembly.
As Election Day draws closer, I encourage you to
look beyond the spin and find the candidate who
aligns with your beliefs. There are times when
you may disagree with ACU or other organizations.
So do I! But we all benefit from those who
bring substantive issues to the forefront. Many
organizations do not, and they are filling our
mailboxes already this year. For those of us who
remember Ronald Reagan’s three-legged stool,
let’s fight to preserve it for the next generation.

How to shop and make money online during a pandemic
(BPT) - Canceled plans. Working from home. Financial
stress. It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic is
causing massive disruptions in many lives. Each day,
people are getting more and more creative in discovering
ways to stay productive and hold on to a sense of
normalcy.
Online marketplaces have seen a major increase in
activity over the last six months as some scramble to
outfit their home office or home gym with the necessities
- while others are cleaning the house and selling
things they don’t use. Some are even supplementing
their income by selling popular at-home items. Whether
you’re offering a bargain or hunting for one, here are
the tips you need to be successful by selling things
online.
Sell what people are looking for
As items sell out on online stores, there’s an opportunity
to make money by selling rare items locally. Home
office items like desks and office supplies, including
printers, tablets and webcams, are selling at higher
prices than normal. Kids supplies like backpacks and
laptops are also commanding higher interest. You can
search for your item online to see what popular prices
are before you sell it to maximize your profit.
Establish credibility
Whether you’re buying or selling, there are few ways
to make yourself stand out as credible. On the OfferUp
& letgo marketplace, potential buyers and sellers can
click on your profile to view your ratings, profile badges
and response rates. The more complete your profile,
the more trustworthy your account appears. If you’re
The Difference Between Mail In Voting and Absentee Voting
Prior to Covid, only five states had Mail In Voting,:
Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.
Mail In voting is when every registered voter in
the state gets a ballot mailed to them. Yet, in these
states you may also vote at the polls in early voting
or on Election Day. Recently, California, Michigan,
and New Jersey have decided to mail out ballots to
their registered voters, while still opening polls.
Absentee voting is allowed in North Carolina. The
voter or a near relative of a registered voter is allowed
to request an absentee ballot. The ballots are
mailed out beginning forty-five days before the election.
In 2020, Absentee Ballots will begin mailing on
Sept. 4th for those that have already requested one,
and the last day to submit a request is October 27,
2020. Note: since these ballots are processed and
mailed to the voter, I would not recommend waiting
this late to request one. Request forms can be found
at https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/Forms/
NCAbsenteeBallotRequestForm.pdf or by contacting
your local Board of Elections.
new, it may take some time to build up your reputation.
Beware of super-low prices
Watch out for potential red flags if you’re buying. If
a price seems too good to be true - such as a $20
diamond ring or a $100 brand-new phone - it likely is.
Before you make an offer or commit to buying, check
prices of similar items and make sure you’re able to
see several photos of the item.
Check shipping before you buy
Stay safe during the pandemic by choosing to ship
your bought or sold items. OfferUp & letgo offers
every buyer and seller access to nationwide shipping.
When buyers see an item they like, they can choose
to receive the item by mail, make their offer and pay
through the app. Sellers receive a pre-paid shipping
label and both parties can track the shipping process
Meet in a public location
If a meet-up is necessary, opt for a well-lit public location
with video surveillance - and remember to keep a
safe, social distance. OfferUp has created more than
2,000 public community meet-up spots so everyone
involved in the transaction can feel safe and know
exactly where to meet. Simply search on www.safetradespots.com
for a mutual location that works for you.
Online marketplaces can be a valuable resource for
procuring your buying and selling needs - and helping
others find theirs. Download the OfferUp app for more
tips on being a successful buyer or seller.
This year only one witness signature is required on
the Absentee Ballot Package. The absentee ballot
can be mailed or returned in person to the elections
office. The ballot must be returned by the voter or
a near relative to the local elections office or a One
Stop location. Under no circumstances should a
voter allow anyone to access their absentee ballot or
absentee ballot container.
Do absentee ballots get lost in the mail? Yes. In
the 2016 General Election, my son was sent to Georgia
on business for several weeks through Election
Day. I requested an absentee ballot be forwarded to
his hotel and he never received it.
For civilian voters, absentee ballots must be returned
to the elections office no later than 5:00 p.m.
on Election Day, Nov. 3, 2020. If postmarked by
5:00 p.m. on Election Day, and received no later than
Nov. 6, 2020 they will be timely.

Ella Jane Fitzgerald
Ella Jane Fitzgerald was born April 25, 1917 in Newport
News, Virginia and died June 15, 1996 in Beverly Hills, California.
She was referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen
of Jazz, and Lady Ella. Ella was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable
diction, phrasing, timing, intonation, and a “horn-like”
improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing (singing
in which the singer substitutes improvised nonsense syllables
for the words of a song, and tries to sound and phrase like a
musical instrument).
She was the daughter of William Fitzgerald and Temperance
“Tempie” Henry. Her parents were unmarried but lived together
in the east end section of New Port News for at least two and
a half years after she was born. In the early 1920s, Fitzgerald’s
mother and her new partner, a Portuguese immigrant named
Joseph Da Silva, moved to Yonkers, in Westchester County,
New York. Her Half-sister, Frances Da Silva, was born in 1923.
Ella listened to jazz recordings by Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby,
and The Boswell Sisters. She loved the Boswell Sisters’ lead
singer Connee Boswell, later saying, “My mother brought home
one of her records, and I fell in love with it…I tried to sound just
like her.” In 1932, when Ella was fifteen, her mother died from
injuries sustained in a car accident. Her stepfather took care of
her until 1933 when she moved to Harlem to live with her aunt.
While she seems to have survived during 1933-1934 in part
from singing on the streets of Harlem, Fitzgerald made her
most important debut at age 17 on November 21, 1934, in one
by: Robert Threatt
of the earliest Amateur Nights at the Apollo Theater. She sang
in the style of Connee Boswell and won first prize. In January
1935, Fitzgerald won the chance to perform for a week with
the Tiny Bradshaw band at the Harlem Opera House. She was
introduced to drummer and bandleader Chick Webb, who had
asked his recently signed singer Charlie Linton to help find him
a female singer. She was offered the opportunity to test with his
band when they played a dance at Yale University.
Ella was met with approval by both audiences and her fellow
musicians and Ella was asked to join Webb’s orchestra and
gained acclaim as part of the group’s performances at Harlem’s
Savoy Ballroom. She recorded several hit songs, which included
the 1938 version of the nursery rhyme, “A-Tisket, A-Tasket” a
song she co-wrote, that bought her public acclaim. It became a
major hit on the radio and was one of the biggest selling records
of the decade. Webb died of spinal Tuberculosis and his band
was renamed Ella and Her Famous Orchestra with Ella taking
on the role of bandleader. She also had her side gig that was
known as Ella and Her Savoy Eight.
Fitzgerald had suffered from diabetes for several years of her
later life, which led to numerous complications. In 1993, she
had to have both legs amputated below the knee due to the effects
of diabetes. Her eyesight was affected as well. She died in
her home from a stroke on June 15, 1996, at the age of 79. She
was buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Robert is retired from the Air
Force and currently is a freelance
writer and Short Wave
Radio enthusiast. He also loves
to channel and play Sudoku.

One in six Americans age 65 and older have a vision impairment that
cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. The risk of eye
disease increases with age, yet many older adults neglect to see an ophthalmologist
for care. To bring attention to taking care of our eyes as we age,
the American Academy of Ophthalmology celebrates Healthy Aging Month
to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of vision loss - and steps to
help seniors take care of their sight.
