Victor Marie Hugo 26 February 1802 – 22 May 1885) was a

French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. He is considered one of the greatest and best-known French writers. In France, Hugo’s literary fame comes first from his poetry and then from his novels and his dramatic achievements. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La LĂŠgende des siècles stand high in critical esteem. Outside France, his best-known works are the novels Les MisĂŠrables, 1862, and Notre-Dame de Paris, 1831 (known in English as The Hunchback of Notre-Dame). He produced more than 4,000 drawings, and also earned respect as a campaigner for social causes such as the abolition of capital punishment. Though a committed royalist when he was young, Hugo’s views changed as the decades passed, and he became a passionate supporter of republicanism his work touches upon most of the political and social issues and the artistic trends of his time. He is buried in the PanthĂŠon. His legacy has been honoured in many ways, including his portrait being placed on French franc banknotes.

, 0DNH +RXVH &DOOV of Fame. We all know about Jim “Catfish� Hunter, man with the three-million-dollar arm, pitcher for the Oakland A’s and then the New York Yankees. Did you also know that Effa Manley, who was the very first woman ever to be elected to the Hall, was married to a man from Perquimans County? Effa and Abe Manley were co-owners of the New Jersey baseball team, the Newark Eagles. Abe Manley was born in Hertford in 1885 and met Effa, appropriately enough, at a baseball game in New York in 1935. Together, they started the Brooklyn Eagles, then bought the Newark Dodgers, combining the teams to form the Newark Eagles. Under the Effa Manley’s management, the Eagles climbed to success and celebrity. The team won the Negro National League and black World Series in 1946. One of their players, Thurman Brickhouse, was also born & raised in Hertford, returning there to live at the end of his baseball career.

The Manleys and the Eagles were also famous for supporting civil rights. In 1939 Newark’s Ruppert Stadium held an anti-lynching day under the Manley’s influence. Effa also organized “Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work� boycotts and worked for the Citizens League of Fair Play. The Newark Eagles were instrumental in raising money to start the Booker T. Washington Community Hospital. Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce has recently had a donation that brings our two Baseball Hall of Fame connections together. Derrick Jones, well known historian and Negro League researcher, who will be presenting selections of his memorabilia collection and speaking on the history of the Negro League in Hertford in February, preceded his visit by donating Effa Manley documents to the Jim “Catfish� Hunter Museum during a very cordial visit. We are looking forward to learning more about this thrilling part of our history during his next visit.

Both Manleys were lovers of baseball and the athletes who played the game. The Manley-owned Eagles were among the best treated & compensated players in the Negro National League. The Eagles were of the first Negro League teams to own an air-conditioned bus for travelling to games. The Manleys also encouraged their players to play in a Puerto Rican winter league, off season, going so far as to sponsor a team in that league. Abe Manley was active in the Negro National League, holding office as the vice president and treasurer of the League.

Health and Nutrition Strategies For Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else Warren Green is a 30 year member of the Institute of Food Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point) Instructor with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition Science. Warren Green can be reached at warreng9241@hotmail.com

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? September and October were big months for my promo-

tion of “The Organic Capital Of the World�. The feasibility appears to have gotten the attention of a cross section of our region. So, I’ll devote a few more sentences to illuminate the concept, and why it’s my passion. As long time readers are aware, for many years, I facilitated a prostate cancer support group here in Northeast North Carolina, where according to the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry, the cancer disparity is the highest in the state, and for prostate cancer among African-American men, the highest in the world. I was personally and professionally intrigued by the data. I sought answers from the American Cancer Society who sponsored the the support group, and the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine ,who are my providers. Their working thesis is that cancer is primarily environmental. The environmental link that interested me most was the 90% dietary link. That’s where the professional part came into play. For new readers, I’m a retiree from the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service/ Standards and Labeling Division. In that capacity I analyzed mandatory formula’s and data submitted by the food industry to determine compliance to federal standards and regulations. The Standards and Labeling Division exposed me to food lobbyist, Federal rulemaking and how our country’s food chain works. Prior to my tenure at USDA Headquarters, I was a New York State field inspector in New York City, and a USDA Inspector in Charge, in rural New York State. My background and perspective is that of a food safety

expert that happens to be a cancer survivor., Since my diagnosis I’ve been obsessed with the cause. In fact, “Cause and Effect� is my working philosophy. There’s a strong correlation between the quality of the food, and the rise in disease, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. I’m convinced that if we fixed the quality of the food (the cause), we can began to mitigate the disease disparities. Here’s the fix. The U.S. food chain has been compromised, and wholesomeness is only assured on product identified as “U.S. Certified Organic�. The Albemarle Region has the potential to be the largest producers of organic foods in the Northeast, and possibly in the entire country. We are blessed with the geography, the logistics, the climate, and the agricultural talent for organic, agriculture enterprises to be a major sustainable contributor to this areas economy. Small acre farms are the perfect element for organic farming because of the producer’s ability to quality control the regulatory requirements for “U.S. Certified Organic� production. Contact Shirley Brown :“Northeastern Coalition for Minority Small Farmers and Landowners� for organic soil testing information. Finally, a clergyman friend advised me that producing food for mankind is a special calling. Remember, you are what you eat.

Orthodox Christianity CHRISTIAN REFLECTIONS A certain brother committed an offence in Scetis, the camp of the monks; and when a congregation was assembled on this matter, they sent after Abba Moses, but he refused to come. Then they sent the priest of the church to him, saying, “Come, for all the people are expecting you,” and he rose up and came. He took a basket with a hole in it and filled it with sand, and carried it upon his shoulders. The others came out to meet him said to him, “What is this, Father?” The old man said to them, “My sins run out behind me and I do not see them; and today I am come to judge shortcomings which are not mine.” And when they heard this they said no more to the brother but forgave him. from “The Sayings of the Desert Fathers” “The heart can change several times in one moment - to good or evil, to faith or unbelief, to simplicity or cunning, to love or hatred, to benevolence or envy, to generosity or avarice, to chastity or fornication. O, what inconstancy! O, how many dangers! O, how sober and watchful we must be!” St. John of Kronstadt “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 Go to God’s temple more often, especially when you’re in afflictions. It’s good to stand in some dark corner and pray and weep from your heart. St. Barsanuphius of Optina When conversion does take place, the process of revelation occurs in a very simple way: a person is need, he suffers, and then somehow the other world opens up. The more you are in suffering and difficulties and are desperate for God, the more He is going to come to your aid, reveal who He is, and show you the way to get out. Fr. Seraphim Rose. God’s Revelation to the Human Heart, p.37 Every saint has a past; every sinner has a future.

Fr. John

AFTER THE SHOOTING--WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? In the event that you are forced to shoot

someone in self-defense, there are several things you must do. What you do and say now will determine whether you go home, to jail, or even prison. What seemed like a clear-cut case of self-defense to you may not appear so to an anti-gun prosecutor, judge, jury, or family of the decedent. The first thing you should do is make sure your attacker is no longer a threat. Do not fire extra shots once the attacker is down. If you can get a safe distance away, do so as soon as possible. If you cannot get away, then make sure his weapon cannot be used against you further. Avoid contaminating it with your fingerprints. You may want to render first aid only IF you can safely do so. Double check that your weapon’s safety is on. Holster your weapon, and conceal it (if you have a CCW permit). There is no need to cause further excitement and panic by waiving a gun around. Pause for a minute and collect your thoughts. 911 calls are recorded, and anything you say may very well be used against you. Call 911. Tell them where you are, that someone attacked you, that you feared for your life, and you shot them. Tell them that you need an ambulance and the police. Describe yourself so the police will not mistake

By: Joe Forbes

you for the attacker or an accomplice. Feel free to repeat that you need an ambulance for a gunshot, and the police, etc., and give any helpful information to allow the responders to find you. But, DO NOT repeat details of the shooting. If the operator insists on talking about the details, just tell them that you need to go, and hang up. If you repeat any details, there is a risk that you will make an inconsistent statement on tape, that might later be used against you.

an answer, but you must firmly, respectfully stand your ground on this. If you cannot reach an attorney until the next morning, then take it in stride. Spending one night in jail beats spending life in prison. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! Jails are full of people who will use anything they can to get themselves out of trouble. These characters are famous for taking one tiny detail that you provide, and stretching it into whatever story the police want to hear.

While you are waiting for the police, call your attorney. Try to have the conversation in private if possible. Anything that anyone overhears may be used against you. Look for witnesses. Get names, addresses, phone numbers. If they are uncooperative, take pictures of them with your cell phone. Take pictures of the scene as well. Look for any surveillance cameras and determine who they belong to.

Discuss the case ONLY with your attorney. Stay off social media. Don’t discuss it with your friends. Don’t give interviews to the press. Stay out of the public if you possibly can. Remember, it’s not just the police who are a potential threat. The decedent’s family may be filing a wrongful death civil action against you, and they are looking for evidence as well. Finally, there is the possibility of violence from the decedent’s family and friends.

When the police arrive, meet them in a non-aggressive manner. Do not make any moves for your wallet, and certainly not for your weapon. Identify yourself, and tell the officer where the weapon is. Cooperate fully in providing your ID, your CCW permit, and surrendering the weapon. Respectfully decline to discuss what happened without first having an attorney present. The police may not want to take that for

Get used to the idea that this may very well be unresolved for the rest of your life, and deal with it. There is no statute of limitations for felonies in NC. You may very well need counseling from a psychiatrist or a minister. Seek that help if you need it. Both are covered by evidentiary privilege. Don’t ever assume that it is safe to talk about it outside of a protected setting.

It is a very special contract in that the insured person has money set aside right now for a special purpose later be it for his family or for business protection. Most forms of Life Insurance do the same thing in the end: that they pay the money to whomever the money has been willed to. It is the only form of insurance that is WHEN insurance. LIFE INSURANCE, being WHEN insurance is just sitting there ; waiting to be used, hopefully, a long time from now. BUT pays off immediately after the contract goes in force. ( EXCEPT for some TV commercial plans that make you wait 3 to 4 years before value is there). Since most Life Insurance policies do the same thing in the end, there are different thing it can do for the insured or the owner while the contract is being paid for. This leads us into the different types of plans available and what each one can and will not do. Basically, there are two types.. TERM and PERMANENT, all others are just forms of these types. TERM INSURANCE is just renting your coverage for a certain amount of time; either one year, 10 years, 20 years or 30 years, and NOW LIFETIME TERM!! Like renting your house, you will most likely never get back any money when the insurance runs out.. ( UNLESS you have RETURN OF PREMIUM provision}..You are only covered for as long as the period of time your policy calls for. If that person dies one day after that, the contract is not good. ( There is a company that will cover you beyond that time}..One of the main advantages of TERM INS. is the low cost. But, is that an advantage???

by Jim Kaighn

The truth is TERM INS. starts off at a low cost, but go up during the period you are covered for, or it can remain level for the entire period. Most times when a policy runs out, folks will have no insurance after that so is TERM INS. REALLY A GOOD BUY?? TERM INS. is good in its place, and like I recommend, be bought along with a PERMANENT PLAN. PERMANENT INS. is more expensive in the beginning, but in the long run can cost less than term ins.!! That is because it builds up cash values and dividends (though not guaranteed), but are mostly always paid by better companies). DIVIDENDS can be used to increase insurance, increase cash value, lower premiums. Some families can not save any money other than using the accumulate at interest option. Another type of permanent ins. is called UNIVERSAL LIFE.. But, like TERM ins.if not properly sold can be worthless later on.. Many people got burned by BAD agents back in the 1980’s and 1990’s for unethical practice and many companies were sued of this.. Universal Life will be discussed in a later article!! Next month, PROBLEMS with TERM INSURANCE that is now just coming to light!! I can be reached at 252335-5983 or 252-202-5983 e-mail at “WWW.INSDR@ROADRUNNER.COM..

Next Evolution Wrestling by Tracy Anderson

Plenty of treats and a few sneaky tricks was the theme for Next Evolution Wrestling’s Feast of Fears ll last night.

NEW was invaded by 4 new tag teams, The Hounds of Hades, Blunt Force Trauma, Kings of Savagery and The Nintendudes. With the addition of these new tag teams, the Annual Tag Team Tournament in February should be very exciting. The Hounds of Hades proved they would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. The high flying Nintendudes captured the win, due to the disqualification of the Hounds, who brought out a metal chain to attack with. Beau Crockett continued his quest to regain The Evolution championship. He battled Diamond Victor Griff, and although there were moments that his quest looked doomed, he managed to pull it out in the end. Defeating Griff and issuing a challenge for current champ Lee Valiant.

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: My mom and dad are getting on in years, and I am worried about them being hurt. Please tell me that old folks are safe and I do not need to worry. Little Jack Horner

Dear Dr. Crime: We hear much about “criminal justice reform�. What does it mean and how powerful a social - political force does it represent? Lady Cop Lover

Dear Jack.

Dear Lover: The Raleigh News and Observer, on April 1st, ran an essay arguing such reform was more important to the public than other issues. Hilary Shelton and Derek Cohen, the authors, make several good points. They noted the pervasiveness of criminal justice impacts, as affecting almost every American. And it is true that we have the top incarceration rate of all countries in the world. They report the financial cost of our CJ system and point out that prison cost has gone up 595% over 30 years. Their polls show, as does other evidence, that citizens want to change these conditions and focus on “rehabilitation� of criminals. I agree such a policy can reduce the number of future victims as well as radically alter the lives of the offenders. As a Probation Officer I have done many “pre-sentence investigation reports� requiring me to recommend what action the courts should take. That demanded that I get involved with family members and victims. I was left with a powerful belief that less of that sadness and more productive events must be our future if we are to improve as a human species. I hope I hear from readers about their views, and I shall return to the issue of CJ system effects again very soon.

I applaud you for being concerned about your aging parents. The June issue of American Psychologist which is devoted to “Aging in America� reviews the research on elder abuse, reports disturbing findings. Two findings stand out: at least 1 in 10 old folks are abused, and there is a dramatic discrepancy between the number of abused we know of and the actual much larger number. It seems elder Americans do not want to report abuse. With over four million elders being abused, we better do something. The research indicates it hits every group, with no difference in race, ethnicity and culture. Research shows several types of elder abuse, including physical, emotional, sexual, financial, and neglect. Often, those people abusing the old folks are family members or others the old folks trust. Although most of it goes unreported, we know enough to see that the impact is typically quite profound. We need better research so we can determine not only the exact nature of the problem, but what intervention programs work the best. Last year there was a White House Conference on Ageing that put out a report, and the AARP has a Foundation. I urge you to review those materials and take action. Often, bullies are abusing people that cannot defend themselves.

Canna Lily

By Coy Domecq

This is a plant you have probably seen

growing in local areas most of your life. It decorates yards and fills roadside landscape with bold stature, majestic foliage and dramatically colored flowers. The plant is commonly known as the Canna Lilly. In fact, it is not a type of lily but is closer in similarities to the banana and ginger groups. The Canna is native to the lower North American continent and southward to northern Argentina and has since been naturalized in many temperate regions outside of its native origins. The Canna Lily is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the Latin and South American cultures. The plant has been grown as a food source by Native Americans for thousands of years and is reputed to be one of the first domesticated agricultural products in those areas. The roots were boiled or baked like potatoes. And the young shoots were eaten like asparagus. The Canna rhizomes boast one of

the highest starch contents of any plant. Although the leaves were not typically eaten themselves, they were sometimes used to wrap other foods to facilitate the baking process. Some cultures used the roots as a component in making an alcoholic beverage. (As always, bear in mind that aquatic and wetland plant roots often concentrate environmental pollutants and therefore may not be suitable for consumption.) In addition to being useful as food for humans and livestock. Dried fibers were used as a jute-like product. The smoke from burning Canna leaves was said to have insecticidal properties. Native Americans also used the Canna seeds as beads in jewelry. The seeds produce a purple dye used to color fibers. The next time you see a Canna Lily, please keep in mind that it is not just another pretty face.

Gun Tips

WANTED

By: Lloyd “Duke� Hodges

Whew!

The first gun tip is simple. If you own a fire armVOTE. We have heard one candidate who is against gun ownership state she thinks the Australian confiscation should be considered for America. That is frightening. Think of the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights which is one of ten amendments to the Constitution. Seems that a heck of a lot of professional politicians would like nothing more to keep them in office than to eliminate the second amendment which if they could the other nine surely will follow. Decades ago I took an oath upon entering the military to protect against enemies foreign and domestic. I also remember Mr. Wayne LaPierre of the NRA say “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a Gun�. Think about it. We have seen too much that has happened in our nation that so few hurt so many. When we go to the polls November 8th know that the outcome will affect the USA for generations. Do the right thing. OK. Second tip is important. OBSERVE. To me that is a self defense tactic to give you a get away mode if bad things happen. I believe that we as citizens of the USA are a civilized people and as such abhor the antics of those who want their name on the front page of a newspaper. Those folks will lose-period. Never in my life have I witnessed such anger and lack of trust. I sincerely hope that calm will engulf us all after the election. That our inalienable rights are intact and to take note of a comment by a retired Marine officer, teacher, and founder of Gunsite a training facility “An armed society is a polite society�. Lastly, after all this hurricane damage haul out those shooting irons and really get them clean. Rusted stuff soon will be lost stuff.

Augustus Patrick, Jr.’s Fateful Raid on Messina By: David Bennett, Curator at the Port o’ Plymouth Museum

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor

in December 1941, the U.S. Army Air Force rapidly deployed bombers to Asia in an attempt to thwart further Japanese aggression. Among the airmen sent abroad was Augustus Patrick, Jr., of Roper, North Carolina. Patrick flew in B-17’s and B-24’s as a tail-gunner. Initially, he found himself flying in daring daylight bombing raids against the Japanese in China and Burma. Ultimately, Patrick fought his way around the globe from Asia to North Africa where he helped defeat the German Afrika Korps. He would eventually encounter his greatest challenge not in the skies over Asia or North Africa but over Sicily.

the cannon shells severely wounded Patrick in the feet and in one of his knees. With the oxygen supply shot out and the gasoline line holed, the upper and rear turrets were rendered useless. Despite his injuries, Patrick dragged himself from the rear of the plane to one of the waist guns where he continued to fight. Miraculously, Patrick’s B-24 was able to make an emergency landing on the island of Malta where it was discovered that the bomber was riddled with more than 800 bullet and cannon holes. For his heroic actions that day, Patrick received the Distinguished Service Cross. He also received the Order of the Purple Heart for the wounds he sustained in combat.

While enemy forces were on the verge of destruction in North Africa, Allied bombing focused its efforts on ports located in Sicily to hinder the enemy’s resupply and retreat. On January 31, 1943, while bombing the port of Messina, Patrick’s bomber formation was attacked by a large number of German fighters. One German ME-109 landed hits in the tail section of Patrick’s Liberator with its 20mm cannon. The explosion from

Due to his wounds, Patrick spent the next five months hospitalized and was sent to a hospital in Charleston, South Carolina, to recuperate. His recovery was somewhat complicated due to an infection that developed in his right foot. Patrick was fortunate to be alive and was fortunate enough to survive the war. Comments?

I forget the first time I went to the movies at the Columbia theater.

It was probably the late fifties’ or early sixties’ and I might have been 7 or 8 years old. I do remember that I thought it was the greatest place I had ever been to. Mr. Jessie Spencer and his wife Mrs. Wilma ran the theater and Mr. Dick Weatherly was the projectionist. I don’t remember who the popcorn boy was at the time, but I remember thinking that there wasn’t a better job in the whole world . All the free popcorn you could eat, free movies, and having everyone envy you were very good benefits. I believe it cost a quarter to get in and then drinks and popcorn were 10 cents while candy was a nickel. The old candy case was a favorite spot for me. I loved those caramel things with the confectionery sugar centers, cracker jacks, Boston baked beans, and of course Baby Ruth’s. I enjoyed many Saturday afternoons watching westerns and horror movies. It was a time when all movies were rated G and the hottest scene in the theater was in a dark corner of the back row where the teenagers were necking. Going to the movies at the Columbia Theater are some of the best memories I have and worth every hard earned quarter that my folks paid out . It was a sad day for Columbia when the last movie was shown and the doors were locked for the last time. The original Columbia Theater was built by a German immigrant named Fred Schlez about 1938. It attracted movie audiences from all over the Albe-

marle area in its hay day. Sadly, as things changed in neighboring areas, the theater closed in the late 1960s, and the building remained vacant for almost 30 years. In 1995, the Partnership for The Sounds purchased the building and began the huge project to restore the crumbling facade to its glory days. The Columbia Theater Cultural Resources Center opened in 1998 and is a proud part of Main Street in downtown Columbia today. Visitors can explore exhibits of environmental and cultural history dedicated to the local Albemarle estuary habitats, and the effects of development on the region. You will find a variety of antiques and other local treasures that give insight into Columbia’s rich but mostly unknown past. Visitors will find household items, business, fishing and farming equipment, a gift shop, and even a bit of theater history saved from the old building. The Columbia Theater Cultural Resources Center is the perfect spot for area newcomers, school groups, history lovers, wildlife fans, and anyone passing through who would like to discover what rural life has been like in this part of the Albemarle area over the past 100 or so years.

You don’t have to wait until Christmas or a birthday

to give a gift to the people you love. This month, we will celebrate Veterans’ Day. We honor our veterans – those who fight to protect our country and freedom. Many veterans are characterized as courageous, adventurous, and responsible. The men and women who serve in our military know that they are risking their lives for their country. There is always the possibility that they may not return home to their friends and family. Early in their careers, servicemen and women often recognize that few decisions in life are as distasteful, yet as important, as planning for its end. Today, there are many things clamoring for our time and attention. Estate planning is not always a top priority. However, those who do such planning save their heirs much anguish, frustration, and often a great deal of money. Whether you are single, married, with or without children, a veteran or not, everyone should have an estate plan. While the issues confronting each person vary due to their unique situation, it is important you realize that as your life changes, your estate plan needs to change too. Maybe you are a married couple with children under the age of 18. Your major assets consist of a home, life insurance policy and two cars. A will is a legal instrument that allows a person to dispose of his property at his death. In addition to providing for your surviving spouse, a will may recommend guardians for minor children and set up trusts for them in case of the simultaneous deaths of both parents. But what if your will was written 10 years ago when you lived in New York? Have your children grown and married since your last will was written?

a second marriage? A single or widowed person has different estate planning goals then he or she did just a few years ago. Perhaps you want to give gifts to your grandchildren, charities, or plan for the management of your assets should you become disabled or incapacitated. Estate planning goals for you may utilize a will and/or revocable trust. Planning to distribute your assets doesn’t have to be a complicated and confusing ritual. It is much more confusing for the parties who remain when you do not take care of these things in your lifetime. Would you ever allow the State of North Carolina to dictate what gift you had to give people for their birthday or Christmas? If not, why would you allow the State of North Carolina to distribute your assets if you were suddenly taken from this Earth? Do you really want a judge to settle a dispute between embattled in-laws as to who will raise your children should there be a common disaster? This Veterans’ Day, honor our veterans and honor your family. Give your family the gift of an estate plan.

OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this past month, Albemarle Hopeline sponsored or participated in multiple events to help raise that awareness throughout the month. In the very beginning of October, we had an incredible gallery at Art Walk, with art by Hopeline’s clients and other domestic violence survivors. There were many visitors who commented on how moving the art was and noted the talent of the artists. Hopeline also participated in Dismal Day in Camden, where kids learned ‘Don’t Let the Bullies Bug You!’ At Community Night Out in downtown Elizabeth City, attendees learned that their local emergency personnel are superheroes, and that they can be too. October 28th was our Purple for Peace Day, and many organizations, individuals and businesses participated and wore purple to note their support for stamping out domestic violence.

Three ways to make your vote matter Let’s face it, folks. Many professional D’s

and R’s care less and less about real democracy, or the will of the people. This can probably happen to any party, but a lack of competition helps breed this. In California they don’t even pretend to offer voters a choice anymore, with only two Democrats vying for a US Senate seat as a result of that state’s Top Two open primary. This is a bastard version of Louisiana’s old “jungle primary,â€? chosen by California because nothing goes wrong in a system that elects David Duke‌right? But there are tangible, effective ways voters can push back, if they’re willing to be a bit unconventional and not worry about picking a winner. Your civic exercise can be much more powerful and effective than you think it is, especially if you don’t live in a swing state or if a particular election result is a foregone conclusion. The major parties have a VERY strong interest in keeping you from knowing that your vote can increase competition, get special interest funding out of federal politics, and ensure election records and equipment are accurate. It’s important to point out that any party not automatically ballot qualified has to expend incredible resources just to get candidates on the ballot in most states, setting them back at a marathon-length starting line while the qualified parties start at a 10k line. In many cases a candidate doesn’t know he or she is on a ballot until two months before an election. As a former petitioner I can attest to the difficulty this causes. But if a statewide candidate reaches a certain threshold, those resources no longer have to be expended, and many more candidates will appear for all offices, often in races which would otherwise have one candidate (people often

Times Like These

By: Matt Morrison

ask “why don’t I see more Greens/Libertarians/others run for school board?â€? That changes with automatic access – Texas is a good example.) Virginia’s threshold is particularly high at 10% but many states’ are far lower – North Carolina’s is 2%. If you think uncontested seats are great and elections are a waste of time, by all means, vote only D or R. This year about one third of North Carolina’s legislative seats will be uncontested‌begging the question of whether voters in China may have more electoral choice than we do. Secondly, remember way back in 2000 when the Reform Party received so much media coverage ahead of a terrible performance at the polls? Granted, part of the attention was due to their dumpster fire nomination circus, but one of the reasons for this conflagration was that their presidential candidates wanted access to over $12 million in federal funding the party was entitled to. They received this due to Ross Perot’s performance in 1996: if any presidential candidate receives over 5% of the vote nationally, his/her party is recognized as a national party by the Federal Election Commission and entitled to matching funds after the primary season. Major party candidates usually don’t accept these as they believe they can raise more than the amount of the match, which disqualifies them from receiving the funds. Minor parties do tend to accept these. Want big donors out of politics? Then don’t vote D or R. Lastly, if you’re thinking of writing someone in, that’s great! However, in most states it can’t be just anybody - remember that in presidential elections you’re really voting for the candidates to the Electoral College pledged to that candidate, so most places require write-ins to name those

elector candidates beforehand for their votes to count. This is a pretty good resource to see who the write-in candidates are in each state. Write-ins can have much power in ensuring all votes are counted accurately. After casting your write-in, check the precinct results in your state election board website - if they don’t display results for the qualified write-in you voted for, complain and ask who the write-in votes were for. Beyond that, if it’s evident that officials didn’t count a write-in vote for whom you voted, complain louder! In fact, that is often the grounds for joining a suit against the state (and if the plaintiffs win the state will have to pay the court costs). Usually a sworn affidavit affirming for whom you cast a vote is accepted as evidence. Besides the presidential race, some states (including North Carolina) require a declaration of candidacy to count write-ins for other offices as well, so this exercise can be effective for these elections as well. Want to ensure our elections aren’t effectively “rigged?� Then cast a write-in vote that will ensure accountability, encourage better voting equipment, and force states to keep accurate paper trails. I recently heard remarks from XM/Sirius radio host Joe Madison at a symposium hosted by former Governor L. Douglas Wilder. A trademark phrase he says to callers who complain about our political or social environment is, “yes, but what are you going to DO about it?� A consensus of concern now exists across party lines for the accuracy of elections, for the pay-toplay influence of campaign donors, and for candidates who reflect the will of modern people (rather than constituents who elected them 30 years ago). On November 8th, you can directly do something about these problems with minimal effort by voting for a minor party or write-in candidate.

If there has ever been such a time as we

are now experiencing, I do not know when it occurred. It would appear common sense and moral direction have been tossed to the wind in order to satisfy the wishes of what our elected employees tell us is the will of the people. I do not believe this once great and respected nation has fallen to its present state as a result of the “will of its people� but rather as a result of too much influence on some of its leaders by mega big business, domestic and foreign special interests as well as their individual desire to attain additional political power. It has been said “follow the money

to determine where our direction truly originates�. Events over the last few years have not disproved that assumption. Our system is “Broken� and unless immediate and sweeping changes are implemented along with complete support of our great Constitution we are neither likely to recognize nor care for what threatens to replace or render it unrecognizable.

A Drum Roll for Thanksgiving Fan Rolls

By Rosie Hawthorne

The breaking of bread is a simple but ancient rite.

It is a conspicuous act signifying giving thanks and fellowship. Special meals require special bread and such is the case at Thanksgiving. I have the perfect rolls for your Thanksgiving meal. They’re excellent on their own, but dipping these delights in a mushroom and giblet gravy or sopping up sauces and drippings takes them to wonderful places. If you have any leftover, you might try them toasted with cinnamon and sugar for breakfast.

rosiehawthorne@gmail.com

Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com

Fan Rolls They are buttery. They are yeasty. They are rich. They are crisp. They are chewy. They are fan rolls. And they are grand.

3 ounces warm skim milk (110°) 3 ounces warm heavy cream (110°) 1 egg and 1 yolk, room temperature 1 packet yeast 3 1/2 - 4 cups of King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour 2 tsp kosher salt 8 TB unsalted butter, softened, cut into 8 pieces 4 TB unsalted butter, melted

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine, milk,

cream, egg, yolk, and yeast. Let sit until foamy. Add 3 1/2 cups flour and the salt. Using the dough hook, knead on medium-low until dough is shaggy.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and separate into two balls. Roll one dough ball into a 15 x 12 inch rectangle with 15-inch side parallel to counter’s edge.

Repeat with remaining dough and 1 TB butter.

Add softened butter, one tablespoon at a time. Continue to knead until dough is smooth about 7 minutes, adding more flour if needed.

Cut dough vertically into 6 (2 1/2 x 12 inch) strips. Brush tops of strips with 1 TB melted butter, then stack strips evenly on top of each other, buttered to unbuttered side.

Heat oven to 350°.

Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 2 hours. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Cut stacked dough strips into six equal stacks. Place stacks, cut side up, in each cup.

Social problems overstep frontiers. The sores of the human race, those great sores which cover the globe, do not halt at the red or blue lines traced upon the map. - Victor Hugo

Cover loosely in plastic and let dough rise until double in size - about 2 hours.

Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through and brush rolls with remaining 2 TB butter. Let cool in tins for 5 minutes, then remove and transfer to wire rack.

Jake’s Outdoor Adventures

None of us are born fisherman, but we are molded and educated into becoming one. The future of recreational fishing are the children of today, and we must work hard to introduce them to this wonderful sport. To attract these children, we must be proactive and get them away from the computer and the video games. I grew up on a canal, and my neighbor always let me fish in her backyard. I spent many days fishing from her dock catching Bluegills and Bass. However the ocean was calling me, and I soon began fishing from the ocean surf, bridges and fishing piers. At each one of the places, there was always some older fishermen that gave me tips and encouraged me to be a better fisherman. My greatest classroom was the Avalon Fishing Pier where the “Pier Elders” would share their secrets with us kids to make us better fishermen and make us want to keep coming back. One of the reasons I have my Facebook Page-- Jakes Outdoor Adventures-- is to share my catches with the hope

by Jake Worthington

of attracting new anglers to our sport. I had the privilege this summer to take one of my FB followers out on our boat on his first offshore trip on his 12th birthday. Isaac Drummond and his Dad joined us on our boat in August out of OBX Marina, and we left headed to the Diamond Shoals Tower in hope of giving him a trip of a lifetime. On the way south, we spotted a nice grass bed about 8 miles east of Avon with a school of Dolphin under it. We broke out the rods and Isaac got his first Dolphin. When you catch your first Dolphin, it is a once in a lifetime moment-- and a moment you will never forget. The excitement on Isaac’s face was worth a million dollars when he hooked and landed his first Dolphin. Isaac hooked and landed some more and then the bite shut off. We headed south and before we got to the tower, Isaac hooked and landed some more Dolphins. We next headed to t

he Diamond Shoals Tower, and then Isaac got to see what it is like to catch and land an Amberjack. For those of you who have never hooked an Amberjack, it is a fight between man and fish to see who can tire the other one out first. Well Isaac was so excited; he won this fight and landed his first Sea Donkey. We then started trolling for Wahoo where we spent the rest of the day. We trolled all day but the fish Gods didn’t smile on us and we never got one Wahoo to bite. We did get to see a Sailfish crash our baits, but we couldn’t keep him on. When the day was over, we now had another young angler hooked. He was one happy little guy with the memories he had with his Dad.

More about First Impressions by Mike Hindenach

Last month I started to write about the importance of first

impressions and how the outside appearance of your store dictates if someone will even make it to the inside of your store. This month I want to discuss the impressions once you step through the door. The very short window of time to make an impression on the inside of the store remains.

Now that we are past the greeting and staff, what does your business say? Is it clean? Organized? Does it represent the image that you see for your business? In general, is your store creating the experience that you are trying to convey? Just like your staff, your store represents what your business is.

Take a moment to step into your store. What do you notice within your first three steps? Does your place of business greet its customers/clients? Was the greeting appropriate for your place of business? Was the person greeting you appropriate for your place of business?

I am picky about where I buy my food. When I go to a grocery store I expect clean and organized. Wal-Mart, Farm Fresh or Food Lion, the expectation is the same. I am going to feed my family the products that I buy. Of course I hold them to a high standard.

In your store, how does your staff appear? Are they dressed appropriately? Are they clean? Do they make eye contact with your customers? Are they smiling? What does their body language say? Your staff represents you and your store. Your staff’s appearance will directly impact your customer’s experience.

But if I walk into an antique store, I am not looking to see if the floors are clean. I am looking at the care they take with displaying their products. I am looking to see the knowledge base of the staff. I am seeking a very different type of experience.

In a professional office, your receptionist is usually the de facto face of your business. They are normally the first voice on the phone or the first person seen when you walk into a business. Frequently the receptionist position is viewed as entry-level with limited experience needed. However, they set the tone for your business’s first impression. That said, not all stores/businesses are appearance based. I have gone into specialty shops where I was far more concerned about the staff’s knowledge base than their appearance. Some stores lend themselves to having far greater freedom because of the uniqueness of the establishment. In other words, one size doesn’t fit all. You just have to make sure that it fits the experience you are trying to create.

facebook.com/AlbemarleTradingPost

My point is, there are different expectations for different buying experiences. That is why it is imperative that you know the experience that you are trying to create with your business. But it is up to you to enforce that the appearance of your store and staff are working to create that environment.

Community News Endowment in Memory of Martin Smith Supports the Local Battle Against Substance Abuse It’s a story heard all too often in our community: a young

person from a caring family is fun-loving, friendly, and hardworking. But somehow, the young person experiments with drugs, and begins to abuse. This was the story of Martin Smith, who died of a cocaine and heroin overdose in March of 2005 at age 29. For Martin’s mother, Peggy Saporito, the most difficult part was dealing with the uncertainty: “The fact that you had no idea if this was something that would continue for years, or if there was actual hope after treatment — that was the hardest part.” After Martin’s death, Saporito found the strength to turn her grief into something positive. In September of 2005, she started the Martin Smith Endowment Fund with the Outer Banks Community Foundation to support the Dare Coalition Against Substance Abuse (CASA) when it was a brand-new nonprofit. “The characters and dialogue change, but all over the country, family and friends continue to discover that someone they live with, know, or have heard about is involved with substance abuse,” Saporito said. The fund helps Dare CASA continue its work of reducing and preventing substance abuse and addiction in Dare County by providing education, instruction for local physicians, and community resources for treatment referral.

“What is so cool about the Outer Banks is that we’ve only got about 35,000-year-round residents, yet we have a lot of stuff for as small of a community as we are,” said Amber Bodner, Dare CASA’s program director. “Ten or fifteen years ago, there were not as many resources for drug education and treatment.” Based on Dare CASA assessments, the three substances abused most by Outer Banks youth are alcohol, marijuana, and prescription medications. Among adults, prescription medications and heroin appear to be the most abused. Consequently, these are the substances Dare CASA is working hardest to combat. “We need to know what the substances in Dare County are, who’s using what, and how we direct our messaging so we can have the best responsibility to our funders, and to the local people who support us,” Bodner said. Donating is one way to help combat substance abuse, while also helping those that live on the Outer Banks. “The Martin Smith Endowment Fund will help the community this year, next year, and all the years to come,” Lorelei Costa, executive director of the Community Foundation, said. “Perpetual endowments such as this one not only make it easy for organizations to receive these necessary funds, but help provide them with a reliable source of income for the future.”

By José Valle

And donating to the Martin Smith Endowment is now easier than ever before: “Anybody can donate in any amount at any time,” Costa said. Saporito and Bodner think the best thing for families dealing with addiction is to realize that there is always hope and help. “Every single dollar that comes in is for this community,” Bodner said. “So our hope is just that we can continue doing the work that we do, spreading our message and helping families.” In this way, Dare CASA and the community remember Martin Smith, one of many who fall into the grip of addiction and pass away too soon. “I want this fund to say more than just his name,” Saporito said. “It is for basically any Martin out there, the struggles that they’re going through, and to hopefully help them find some sort of recovery for their future.” For the original article, and more information about how to donate to the Martin Smitth Endowment Fund, contact the Dare CASA at http://darecasa.org/casa/, and visit www. obxvoice.com and search [tags].

Clemens descendant to bring Mark Twain to Kitty Hawk Meet Mark Twain through a direct descent of the great American author when Ryan Clemens performs in the fourth full season of the Don and Catherine Bryan Cultural Series. “Whiskey with Twain,” will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Kitty Hawk. “An actor, director, playwright, teacher and Mark Twin enthusiast, Ryan Clemens is a pretty fun guy,” said John Tucker, chairman of the Bryan Cultural Series. “Join us for a great evening full of fun and laughs.” Clemens will take Mark Twain into the Dare County schools during the week. He will meet with classes at several middle and high schools and bring his relative’s wit and wisdom to the students. “Mark Twain wrote ‘I never let my schooling interfere with my education,’” Tucker said, “but we believe bringing his literature to life will add to students’ appreciation and understanding of this great American author.” As Virginia Stage Company’s Resident Theater Artist, Clemens has performed both on the main stage and in a variety of touring shows, classes and workshops. Originally from Wyoming, he began his career leading a traveling Wild West show. Clemens has performed at theaters around the nation, with his recent work including four seasons with Norfolk’s Virginia Stage Company and three seasons with the Virginia Shakespeare Festival. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in

Theater from Western Washington University and an Master of Fine Arts in Acting from Regent University. He is also a member of the Actor’s Equity Candidate Program. Besides Mr. Twain, some of Clemens’ favorite roles include Prospero in The Tempest, Brutus in Julius Caesar, Bob Crotchet in A Christmas Carol, Mortimer in The Fantasticks, and Arnold in The Boys Next Door. The best part he has ever had is that of husband to his supportive wife Sonja, Clemens said. Tickets for “Whiskey with Twain” are $15 and are available online at Bryan Cultural Series and by phone at (252) 564-9767. They are also available at Duck’s Cottage Coffee & Books, 1240 Duck Road in Duck; Duck’s Cottage Downtown Books, 105 Sir Walter Raleigh St., in Manteo; Gray’s Department Store, 3860 N. Croatan Highway in Kitty Hawk, and Sea Green Gallery, 2404 S. Virginia Dare Trail in Nags Head.

Top Stories This Month Legal ‘Who’s Who’ honors judge at portrait unveiling The Dare County Courthouse was host to a virtual “Who’s Who” of the 1st Judicial District to honor Judge John Richard Parker, who at the time of his retirement was the district’s Superior Court senior resident judge. The proceedings took place on Oct. 21 at 3 p.m. The specific purpose of the event was the unveiling of Parker’s official portrait, which will hang at the Dare County Justice Center. The affair took the form of an official court session with the current senior resident judge, Judge Jerry Tillett, presiding over the proceedings, which Dare County Sheriff Doug Doughtie called to order and closed in the customary manner. Two of Parker’s contemporaries and close friends, attorneys Chris Seawell and Keith Teague, recounted their early days working with Parker, sprinkling their remarks with humorous anecdotes as they traced Parker’s rise through the ranks, where he started as an Assistant Solicitor.

Among those in attendance were elected officials from Dare County, from several municipalities and from other counties in the district. irtually all of the district’s sitting Superior and District Court judges attended, as well as many retired judges.

Some even recounted times Parker “put them in their place.” Yet, their attendance was testimony that those moments were part of the customary interaction between judges and lawyers and did not diminish the respect attorneys, Parker’s peers and others in the legal arenas held for him. James “Jim” Aaron Trotman, a longtime Dare County photographer and the Voice’s dining reviewer. was commissioned to create the portraiture.

District Attorney Andy Womble and most of his assistant district attorneys were present. Perhaps most telling was the large turnout of practicing and retired trial lawyers, many of whom in comments following the official ceremony recounted the sometimes contentious encounters with Parker when arguing cases in front him.

Top Stories This Month Watercolor Society Of NC Brings More Than Color To OBX Over 300 guests gathered at Pirate’s Cove Pavilion on October 22 to support and celebrate Dare County Arts Council at the Emerald Elegance Gala. Tickets to the annual fundraiser were sold out two days prior to the event, which raised over $30,000 for Dare County Arts Council programming and events. “Emerald Elegance was the definition of teamwork. Our Gala committee did a fantastic job under the guidance of Emerald Elegance Gala Chair Nadine Daniels,” said Dare County Arts Council President Ginny Flowers. “We encouraged our board, volunteers, artists, vendors and guests to dream big and the response was amazing. The success of Emerald Elegance enables Dare County Arts Council to continue developing programming and events for our arts community. Creating art is a common language that is an integral part of the diversity we embrace in Dare County.” The Gala’s silent auction included over 70 items, most of them original works of art, and brought in over $18,000. One of the big-ticket auction items was the head of the event’s centerpiece, a 30-foot long and 60-foot wide dragon, designed and constructed by Nancy Harvey and her Holiday House Events team and sculpted by artist Carol Willett.

Top Stories This Month Beach Food Pantry sets up permanent endowment fund The Beach Food Pantry has established a new charitable endowment to fight hunger in Dare County. The Beach Food Pantry Endowment Fund will provide ongoing and perpetual support for the nonprofit as it works to provide direct nutritional assistance to Dare County residents. The fund, to be held at the Outer Banks Community Foundation, will be available to cover all of the Pantry’s program, operating and capital needs. “Since the Beach Food Pantry was first organized in 1989, we have helped thousands of Dare County residents feed their families through a temporary crisis or emergency situation,” said Theresa Armendarez, executive director of the Pantry. “Our staff, board, and volunteers work incredibly hard each and every year to raise the funds we need to support our mission. With this new endowment, we now have a permanent, sustainable source of funds to supplement the annual dollars we raise. This means that we will be able to feed more families in our community, seek more food donations, and provide more educational programs about nutrition and food.”

Earlier this month, the Community Foundation awarded a grant of $5,000 to the Pantry to purchase a generator for use during natural disasters and power outages. In 2015 the Community Foundation awarded a two-year, $50,000 grant totowards the purchase of the Pantry’s new building in Kitty Hawk. Anyone can make a tax-deductible gift to the Beach Food Pantry Endowment Fund at www.obcf.org/donate. The Pantry and the Community Foundation also invite major gifts, bequests and legacy donations to the fund. Please contact Lorelei Costa at 252-261-8839 for more information about leaving a planned gift to benefit the Pantry. The Outer Banks Community Foundation holds endowment funds by and for over 40 nonprofits and churches across the Outer Banks, including Food for Thought, Interfaith Community Outreach, Outer Banks SPCA, St. Andrews By-the-Sea, Elizabethan Gardens, Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station, Dare County Arts Council and Mt. Olivet United Methodist Church. For more information on establishing an endowment for your nonprofit, contact the Community Foundation at 252-261-8839.

“All of us at the Community Foundation are honored to partner with the Beach Food Pantry,” said Lorelei Costa, the Community Foundation’s executive director. “This is a vital organization that plays a leading role in assisting the needy in our community.”

Top Stories This Month October is a special month for birders on the Outer Banks. Waterfowl flock in. Most of our dabbling (puddle) ducks

arrive this month. Check the Pea Island, Mackay Island and Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuges impoundments, and the pond on Bodie Island. American Wigeon, Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Northern Pintail and Green-winged Teal should be easily found. Gadwall, Mallard and Black Ducks increase as migrants join our yearround populations. Snow Geese and diving ducks are more prevalent in November. Our local Canada Geese populations increase when the “real” ones migrate from the north. A few sea ducks start “stringing out” over the ocean late in October, but November is a better month to find them. Several raptors push through—some continuing south, others staying for the winter. Sharp-shinned and Cooper’s Hawks take residency near successful feeding stations, upsetting local Mourning Doves and Blue Jays! Local Redtailed Hawks are joined by northern over-wintering brethren: Northern Harriers are seen drifting low over marshes and farm fields. The American Kestrel, Merlin, and Peregrine Falcon increase by October. Kestrels are easily found on the Alligator River NWR and utility lines across the state; Merlin and Peregrine numbers peak in October and are found mostly around wet habitats like impoundments at Pea Island NWR and the Cape Point area in Buxton. Our Bald Eagle population increases in fall and winter, and is reliably located on the Alligator River and Lake Mattamuskeet NWRs.

By Jeff Lewis

Shorebird migration continues into October. Several sandpipers near the end of their fall migration: Spotted, Solitary, Stilt, White-rumped, Pectoral, and Semipalmated Sandpipers. Others, like Greater Yellowlegs, Sanderling, Dunlin, Short and Long-billed Dowitchers and Wilson’s Snipe, settle for the winter. Look in appropriate wet habitats. Eastern Willets, from summer are replaced by look-alike Western Willets during fall and winter. Both are on our ocean beaches, along with “wave-chaser” Sanderlings. Songbirds undergo a changing of the guard, and many breeding birds leave this time of year. All our swallows leave for the winter except Tree Swallows, which increase a hundred-fold as northern birds move to North Carolina. Our flycatchers depart, replaced by the Eastern Phoebe in winter. Only two of Eastern North Carolina’s 17 warbler species are hardy enough for winter: Pine Warbler and Common Yellowthroat. Orange-crowned, Palm and Yellowrumped Warblers join them. The under-appreciated sparrow family arrives primarily in October, including beloved back-yard Eastern Towhee (year-round), Dark-eyed Junco, and White-throated Sparrow. In various open habitats, look for Chipping, Field, Savannah, Vesper, and Lark Sparrows. In brushy areas, seek Song, Lincoln’s and White-crowned Sparrows. In swampy habitats you can find Swamp Sparrows. In wooded areas White-throated and Fox Sparrows are likely. These “little brown jobs” can be a very challenging, rewarding family to seek and identify.

For backyard birdwatchers, keep year-round birds happy and watch for Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings, Red-breasted Nuthatches and Baltimore Orioles. In areas heavy with wild muscadine grapes, you probably have orioles. They often chatter in treetops, even if you can’t see them. Sometimes nectar feeders or grape jelly lures them down. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds decline in October, but an over-wintering crop of hummers should arrive late in the month. Keep an eye on birdbaths, as any number of migrant songbirds may stop for a refreshing dip or drink. The Outer Banks holds the exciting Wings Over Water Wildlife Festival each October. Dozens of birding, paddling, photography and natural history trips are offered, led mostly by local or regional experts. Refuge tours, workshops and programs are offered. The 20th anniversary of “Wings Over Water” took place this year October 18th through October 23rd. For more information go to www.wingsoverwater. org or call 252-216-9464.

Business on the Outer Banks

Dominion Power foundation “spotlights� The Lost Colony Though dark now, the 2016 performances of The Lost

Colony were illuminated this season with new lighting equipment and technology thanks in part to the Dominion Foundation and Dominion North Carolina, which generously funded the project. The new spotlights and LED technology not only enhanced patrons’ experience, but produced better results with less energy. Replacing Waterside Theatre’s old lighting equipment became imminent after the 2015 season, when the performance’s curtain time was changed to 7:30 p.m. The earlier curtain time is family-friendly and allows patrons to return home from the theater at a reasonable time. But it means most of the show’s first act is performed in daylight. The aging theater lighting was not capable of helping to mask scenery changes or highlighting a key scene or character.

by OBX Voice

Dominion granted the Roanoke Island Historical Association $5,000 toward the purchase of new spotlights and other electrical improvements for the 2016 season. The new spotlights have the power to throw light from 50 feet to 250 feet with enough intensity to light up the characters in both darkness and light. Recently, Dominion bestowed The Lost Colony with another $5,000 gift toward phase two of the lighting project, which was completed just before the show opened. The second phase included upgrading old equipment with modern LED technology that operates more efficiently using less energy, and replacing aged electrical wiring. The Outer Banks’ weather and environment is particularly hard on the lighting and sound equipment required by the outdoor performances.

The Dominion Foundation granted $5,000 to the Roanoke Island Historical Association (RIHA) for lighting equipment and upgrades for The Lost Colony.

Frisco Native American Museum FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM RECOVERING FROM HURRICANE The Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center is located in a

building with a long and varied history. Built in 1880, the structure has weathered many storms, but Hurricane Matthew recently added a new chapter. In the early morning hours of October 8, storm surge brought briny water rushing through the entire building, leaving sandy muck in rooms that have no record of flooding in 50 years, perhaps longer. Nature trail paths were blocked with downed trees, and picnic tables formed a tangled mass in the center of the nature trail pavilion. Walking through the silent museum, staff were awed at the power of nature. Carpets squished underfoot, little puffs of green appeared on surfaces as mold sprouted, a number of stone artifacts were filled with water, glass shelving had been pushed from the wall in places, damp book covers curled away from bindings, and the air was heavy with a pungent odor that would only grow stronger. But amazingly, very few exhibits were disrupted, and artifacts remained in place

or only slightly askew. Nothing irreplaceable had been destroyed; the essence of the museum was in tack. Work to get the building back in shape began immediately, and community support has been overwhelming. Sixteen volunteers from the Cape Hatteras and Elizabeth City Coast Guard stations (pictured) ripped up wet, smelly carpet and hauled it out; other volunteers cleared paths, swept floors, began clearing salt from surfaces, removed molding books and damaged furniture. Like much of Hatteras Island, museum staff and volunteers will be recovering from Hurricane Matthew for some time. The museum and nature trail are closed as work continues, but stay tuned. Progress reports and pictures will be posted regularly at www.nativeamericanmuseum.org.

Medicines And Medical Procedures During The War Between The States By: Dr. Dave and Gary Riggs

(Continued from last month) Ironically the person who launched the era of modern

prosthetics was also the first documented amputee of the war. He was Confederate soldier James Edward Hanger. Hanger lost his leg above the knee to a Yankee cannon ball, he was first fitted with a wooden peg leg by bungling Yankee surgeons. Unhappy with the cumbersome appendage, Hanger eventually designed and built a new lightweight leg from whittled barrel staves. Hanger’s innovative leg had hinges at the knee and foot, which helped him sit more comfortably and to walk with a more natural gait. Hanger won the contract to make limbs for Confederate veterans. The company he founded Hanger INC. remains a key player in prosthetics and orthotics today. The same commitment to support veterans continues today through programs of the VA and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to ensure ongoing progress in prosthetics design. Lincoln’s war marked the end of the era of wooden peg legs and simple hooks. That war set the prosthetics industry on a course that would ultimately lead to today’s Quasi-Bionic limbs that look like the real thing and can often perform some tasks even better. By the time the war of northern aggression broke out in 1861, both ether and chloroform had been in use for several years as methods of surgical anesthesia. Though both anesthetics agents were developed around the same time (the 1840’s), chloroform soon emerged as the more widely used, as it took action faster and was nonflammable. During that war ether and particularly chloroform became indispensable tools for military doctors, who performed tens of thousands of amputations and other types of procedures for wounded soldiers. Before ether was developed as a surgical anesthetic. Throughout the history of medicine, including as a treatment for ailments such as scurvy or pulmonary inflammation, a pleasant smelling colorless and highly flammable liquid, ether can be vaporized into a gas that numbs pain

but leaves patients conscious. In 1842 Georgia physician Crawford Williamson Long became the first doctor to use ether as a general anesthetic during surgery when he used it to remove a tumor from the neck of his patient James M. Venable. In 1848 Longs results of his experiments were published. In 1864 after viewing ether demonstrations physicians suggested the word anesthesia to describe the process of making a patient unconscious in order to free them of surgical pain; it was based on the Greek word Anaisthesis which means insensibility or loss of sensation. Chloroform also called Trichloromethane, chloroform is prepared through the chlorination of methane gas. It was first prepared in 1831 when combined whiskey with chlorinated lime in an attempt to produce a cheap pesticide. In 1847, the Scottish physician Sir James Young Simpson first used the sweet smelling colorless nonflammable liquid as an anesthetic. When administered by dripping the liquid onto a sponge or cloth held so that the patient inhaled the vapors, chloroform was seen to have narcotic effects on the central nervous system and produced these effects relatively quickly. On the other hand, there were higher risks associated with chloroform that with ether, and its administration required greater physician skills. There were early reports of fatalities due to chloroform, beginning with a fifteen-year-old girl in 1848. skill and care were required to differentiate between an effective dose (enough to make patient insensible during surgery). And one that paralyzed the lungs causing death, fatalities were widely publicized and the risks involved led some patients facing surgery to decline anesthesia and brave the pain. Still, use of chloroform spread quickly and in 1853 it was famously administered to Britain’s Queen Victoria during the birth of her eighth child, Prince Leopold. American military doctors began using ether as an anesthetic on the battlefield during the Mexican- American War (1846-1848) and by 1849 it was officially issued by the army.

Though many doctors and nurses had experience with using ether by the time of the war between the states chloroform became more popular during the conflict, due to its fasteracting nature and a large number of positive reports of its usage during the Crimean War in the 1850’s. During the war of northern aggression chloroform was used whenever it was available to reduce the pain and trauma of amputation or other procedures. Usage of ether and chloroform later declined after the development of safer, more effective inhalation anesthetics and they are no longer used in surgery today. Chloroform, in particular, came under attack in the 20th century and was shown to be carcinogenic by ingestion in laboratory mice and rats. It is now used mainly in the preparation of fluorocarbons, used in aerosol propellants and refrigerants, it is also found in some cough and cold medicines, dental products (including toothpaste and mouthwashes), topical liniments and other products. Techniques developed in response to sick and wounded soldiers led to advances in pain management. The war between the states saw the birth of organized triage, which directly influenced the modern ambulance system. Part 7 Next Month

The Chowanoke Indians

By Duvonya Chavis

November is North Carolina American Indian Heritage

Month and will be celebrated by American Indians and tribal organizations across the state. Having a population of more than 180,000, North Carolina has the largest American Indian population east of the Mississippi and the eight largest in the United States. Traditionally, the Governor recognizes the significance of North Carolina’s indigenous people with a proclamation each year. Recognition for American Indians on a national level began in 1914. However it was not until 1990, when President Bush signed a congressional resolution, that November was declared National American Indian Heritage Month. Archaeological studies show that American Indians have lived in North Carolina for over 12,000 years. At the time of English contact, there were three different Native linguistic groups in NC. The eastern shores and coastal plains areas of NC were populated by the Algonquian Indians, the southern coastal plains to the piedmont areas were inhabited by the Siouan Indians and the piedmont to the western areas were inhabited primarily by the Iroquois. The Chowanoke Indians were the largest Algonquian tribe in North Carolina

34

during the precolonial era. They were also among one of the first Indian groups to come in contact with the settlers. While much of their population declined due to war, disease, and other illnesses, they were not decimated. The Chowanokes persisted and remain to tell their story. This month is a time to celebrate the richness of Native culture and to educate the public on the history of our country’s Native inhabitants. Chowanoke Indians will celebrate their heritage during American Indian Heritage Month at Merchants Millpond State Park on November 5, 2016 with a history event and social. History on the pre- and post- reservation periods, the reclamation of a part of the historic Chowanoke reservation, recognition for the Chowanoke Indians, and the documentary film currently being produced on the Chowanoke Indians of Gates County will be discussed. The public is invited to attend.

Northeast North Carolina Family History – Thankful for modern technology… By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com

I was looking through some family history thinking about this column when I realized that my grandparents were married 100 years ago this month. Although we know the date of their marriage, it occurred to me that I’ve never seen a picture. My computer tree indicated I had a copy of their marriage registration, so I dug it out to check for more information. My grandfather was a 31 year old bachelor, a farmer, born in Quebec. And bless those French-Canadian Catholic records, they included parents’ full names with the mother’s maiden name. My grandmother was 20, born in Manitoba and the reference to a single woman at the time was spinster. It indicates they were both Catholic and that the banns had been read. Oddly enough, the copy of the registration from 1916 and a copy of a certificate from 1965 that I’m guessing my parents requested, have different witnesses listed… But those details don’t tell me about the family and friends who were there. What was the reception like? What about the hundreds of details that went in to making that occasion happen? Do you have the same problem with family events? For our son’s wedding reception last month (see Lexi and Seth on Youtube if you are interested) I was asked to send pictures from our wedding and our parents’ wedding day. There is no picture for my husband’s parents or either of the grandparents that we are aware of. Details are slim as well. It is truly sad that such important, relatively recent events are already lost to memory. What about your own important occasions? Have you recorded them in some

way? Are there pictures that are saved in a manner that they will be available to future generations? Or even if you had a fire or disaster like the recent flooding so many people experienced? I do know that our son’s wedding and reception are so well documented through social media that I’m pretty confident they will be available in perpetuity! Do you know the circumstances or marriage customs of your ancestors? Early in North Carolina’s history, circuit riders would go through their districts and marry individuals in the block of time they were in that area. Those records may or may not have ended up recorded at the state level. Were there specific religious or cultural traditions that your ancestors would have followed? I know when my mother got married 65 years ago, there was a wedding dress trend for a type of hoop around the hip that she wished wasn’t recorded in all their photographs. Whenever we saw those pictures she commented on how much she disliked that style. We do have photos of her dressed to leave after the reception with all her sisters and her parents. And I know that they went to Seattle for their honeymoon where she got sick on seafood which has genetically predisposed me to not care for it – well, that’s my best reason… I can feel for my mom as I didn’t care for the way my hat and attached veil looked in most of my wedding pictures – in a few it was great. I just check with my husband and he does remember how I felt about it but I doubt my sons

have any idea. Just a little detail I could share. My husband did add he always thought it looked very nice – good man! I don’t even remember the food that was served at our reception. We do have a picture of us cutting the cake, so I know what that looked like. I have a picture of what looks like a hotel room where my parents’ reception was, but not one of the cake! My point being how scattered my information is and with all the people I need to speak to no longer living, I can’t even ask about the food for my own reception. Not earth shattering, but details I have lost. My in-laws got married during WWII when they were both 19. They were married in South Mills in Camden County which became the hot spot for courthouse marriages during the war for couples up and down the east coast. We have an outdoor picture we believe was taken around the time they got married, but that’s about it. That’s so sad. If you are interested in some great local wedding pictures, clothes and customs, check out the Museum of the Albemarle’s “I DO! Weddings in the Albemarle” exhibit. If you can’t get there in person they have a great link at http:// vowbride.com/news/i-do-weddings-in-albermarle/ With the holiday season fast approaching PLEASE take the time at ANY family get-together to talk about and record in some manner family memories. They really are precious and sadly have an expiration date. Don’t lose them.

Don’t Overlook Long-term Care Costs How much money will you need in retirement? To arrive at an estimate, you should consider various factors, such as where you’ll live, how much you plan to travel, and so on. Not surprisingly, you’ll also need to think about health care costs, which almost always rise during retirement. But there’s one area you might overlook: long-term care. Should you be concerned about these costs? In a word, YES. Expenses for long-term care – which can include receiving assistance at home as well as prolonged care in a facility – can be surprisingly expensive. Consider the following statistics, taken from the 2016 Cost of Care Study issued by Genworth, an insurance company: The average annual cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $92,000. And in some places, particularly major metropolitan areas, the cost is considerably higher. The average annual cost for full-time services of an in-home health care aide is more than $46,000. These costs are certainly daunting. Of course, you might think that you won’t have to worry about them, because you won’t ever need any type of long-term care, particularly if you’ve always been in good health and your family has no history of later-in-life cognitive impairment. However, the odds may not always be in your favor, because almost 70% of people turning age 65 will need some kind of assistance or long-term care at some point in their lives, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe Things may change in the future, but at this point, you really can’t count much on government programs to help pay for long-term care. Medicare typically pays for only a small percentage of these costs, and, to be eligible for Medicaid, you must have limited income and assets. In fact, you might need to “spend down� some of your assets to qualify for Medicaid long-term care services. Obviously, this is not an attractive choice, particularly if you’d like to someday “leave something behind� to your family or favorite charity. Consequently, you need to look at your options for paying for long-term care – just in case. You could earmark a certain percentage of your investment portfolio to cover long-term care costs; if you never need this care, you can simply use the money to pay for other areas of your retirement or for other purposes, such as charitable gifts or financial support to your grown children or grandchildren. Or, as an alternative, you might want to work with a financial professional, who can recommend a strategy specifically designed to help you address long-term care costs. The marketplace in this area has evolved rapidly in recent years, so you should be able to find a solution that is both affordable and effective. Keep in mind, though, that the earlier you purchase a long-term care solution, the more economical it will likely be for you. In any case, don’t delay your planning for long-term care. Knowing that you’re protected against potentially catastrophic costs can make your retirement years less stressful for you and your family.

Given the costs of long-term care, and the possibility that you might really need this care, how can you prepare for the costs?

Upcoming Exhibits at the Museum of the Albemarle By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov /LNH 8V

Changing of the seasons brings great change to the museum, as well. Among the changes are several major exhibits we are currently working on. Those include Tar Heels in the Trenches: The Great War and the Albemarle (opening February 12, 2017) and an exhibit celebrating the Museum of the Albemarle’s 50th birthday (opening April 21, 2017). Each exhibit will highlight objects from the museum’s own collections, as well as items borrowed from local lenders. Smaller exhibits for the next few months will explore a variety of topics. Toys from the Past showcases an assortment of collectibles, including wind-up toys from several decades, a miniature horse-drawn wagon from 1900, and a child’s metal stove that dates to the late 1800s and comes from Bay Side Plantation in Pasquotank County. In our lobby, a piece of farm machinery manufactured in Elizabeth City by the Gordon Bean and Pea Harvester Company picker is now on display. We just rotated several wedding dresses into I Do!

Wow! Its November already! Where does the year go?

The older I get the faster time seems to fly. Speaking of time going by.... almost half of the season for deer has gone by. I hope you have had the opportunity to get out to the fields and woods for your opportunity to get a shot at the deer in your area. However, remember ‌ its not about the end result... its about your journey as a hunter, tracker, and citizen game manager. Some hunters think you should only take bucks, and then only those of a certain size.... this is not good game management. We have to train ourselves to be good stewards of the natural resources. This means hunting does also. I have heard some hunters say ...�we save the does and spikes for women and children..� Have you ever hunted a wiley doe? There is nothing like it. She didn’t get to be her age by accident. There is nothing wrong with taking a nice buck, but consider being a good steward and follow the game management practices established by our Wildlife Resources Commission. Some news from the North Carolina Bowhunter’s Association: The NCBA now owns some property. In 2005 a motion was made and seconded to purchase some land for the use of the NCBA membership. A land acquisition fund was established for the association to purchase property around the Butner area for our members since it is centrally located for the state membership. It has taken 11 years but land has been purchased an acquired. The property is located at 3103 Old NC 75. It is approximately 12.5 acres in size. We are currently working on rules for the property, it will be available for all our members to use. We are

planning to have a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate this accomplishment! This week is the annual Butner hunt sponsored by the NCBA. It is a great time of fellowship and fun. Its a bit late for this year, but consider coming out to this annual membership hunt next October. We have had many people offer to build picnic areas, storage buildings, help with campsite clearing. If any of you would like to help out in any way please contact the NCBA. This is another of the multitude of reasons to join the NCBA. Schedule of upcoming events: October 22-29, 2016 – Annual Butner hunt (too late for this year but noit for next! Place it on your calendar. November 1, 2 , 3 Alligator Management Public Forum. Th NCWRC and the Alligator task force are holding public forums. Public input will be receiving input as they develop a plan for managing the alligators here in our great state.

and a shooting war began, thanks to Lincoln’s and Yankees arrogance and greed. On May 5th, 1861 after the evacuation of Confederate forces , the Alexandria,Va. Lodge ( the lodge which George Washington had been a charter master) was ransacked by entering Yankees and forced to disband by northern masons to form a new Yankee lodge called the union lodges after petitioning the Grand lodge of the district of Columbia for a dispensation to form such lodge. On May 27th, 1861 a Masonic grand master summed up the general feeling of Freemasons in connection with Lincoln’s war. Our fraternity embraces the whole in bonds of charity; as masons, we know no north, no south, no east, no west; yet we know our country and brotherhood everywhere. Peace and harmony are the mission of our order. Whatever individuals may feel to be their duty as citizens, let us not forget our brotherhood. Let us remember the fraternal cord and its duties. We can do much to assuage the bitterness of the present with all men, and especially with those of our own household. May the god of love keep in harmony and brotherly love. At the first battle of Manassas Va. (Yankee name bull run) July 21,1861, as colonel ray nor of Ohio Yankee troops was being held captive in Confederate custody after being injured, one of his Confederate guards J.H. Lemon of Radford’s cavalry C.S.A. was a truly good Samaritan and mason, got some ice and pounded it up in his own handkerchief and bound it around the throbbing brow of ray nor. J.H. Lemon C.S.A. said I only hope to get the same treatment from you northern men if ever I fall into their hands if you all will relieve the distress of a suffering brother mason when in your

power, shall be well paid. This he said as he pointed to the Masonic pin on rayon’s shirt. As the Yankees were skedaddling from the field of battle at Manassas being chased by many Confederate troops it was observed of a badly injured Yankee giving the Masonic sign of distress when three Confederate soldiers stepped out of line to assist the wounded Yankee and brother mason, and care for him just another power and beauty of the Masonic tie. Also at the battle of First Manassas, Va., two days after the battle the 18th Virginia regiment commanded by Colonel Robert E. Withers ( Grand Master of Virginia 1871-1872 ) was in camp when the pickets brought in a Yankee prisoner, who was a member of the 12th new York Zouaves who stated that the colonel of his regiment was severely wounded and concealed in the woods nearby and offered when requested to do so to guide a party of soldiers to his place of concealment. A detail of men brought along a wagon to retrieve him. While conversing with Colonel Withers C.S.A. It was observed that the injured Yankee was colonel wood and on his bosom was a Masonic pin, being a brother in distress .He was carried to Colonel Withers tent where he was examined and cared for and later was moved to a hospital at Charlottesville, Va. Where he was more extensively cared for and made comfortable by masons there. He later stated he would never fight against the men who had so generously befriended him in his time of distress who were naturally brother masons. In the village of Hampton, Virginia the 3rd regiment of new York volunteers entered the village about one mile from Fortress Monroe, this village had been deserted by its good southern citizens a short time before the infestation of the unruly Yankees.
