It Can’t Happen Here
By: Sinclair Lewis
It Can’t Happen Here is a semi-satirical 1935 political novel
by American author Sinclair Lewis. Published during the rise of fascism in Europe, the novel describes the rise of Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, a populist United States Senator who is elected to the presidency after promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and traditional values. After his election, Windrip takes complete control of the government and imposes a plutocratic/totalitarian rule with the help of a ruthless paramilitary force. The novel’s plot centers on journalist Doremus Jessup’s opposition to the new regime and his subsequent struggle against it as part of a liberal rebellion. Reviewers at the time, and literary critics ever since, have emphasized the connection with Louisiana politician Huey Long, who was preparing to run for president in the 1936 election when he was assassinated in 1935 just prior to the novel’s publication. In 1930, Lewis won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first writer from the United States to receive the award, after he had been nominated by Henrik Schück, member of the Swedish Academy. After winning the Nobel Prize, Lewis wrote eleven more novels, ten of which appeared in his lifetime. Source: Wikipedia

Chuck O'Keefe
Returning to Hertford, where some of his family still lives, will be a home-coming for Whidbee and very much in line with the idea of the show, titled “Home Grown.” In his artist’s statement for his show, Whidbee explains that his work is tied to questions of identity, of history and ancestry. Objects represented in his paintings have the power to “stimulate memories that provoke the questions of: Where did I come from? Who are my ancestors?” Images of windows “represent the act of viewing, a line of sight into the generational cycle.” Leaving Hertford to pursue his education at Winston-Salem State University, Whidbee had no intention of pursuing art as a career. It was only after a few years of college and a transfer to NCCU that, in 2011, he painted his first portrait and “found what would instantly become my passion. Painting would be the instrument to mold the person that I am today.” And the person he is today is an artist of great depth and insight, who uses portraiture and the depiction of everyday objects to explore both his own experience of life and the search for meaning & identity. He describes his work as “intimate sculpture/painting hybrids that raise questions pertaining to culture, class and education.” The exhibit “Home Grown” will be on display in the Perquimans Art League Gallery on Church Street in downtown Hertford throughout the month of October. Mr. Whidbee will also be the artist in residence at his old high school, Perquimans County High School, with a scheduled visit to Perquimans Middle School as well. A reception for the artist will be held at the Gallery on Sunday, October 9 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Health and Nutrition Strategies For Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else Warren Green is a 30 year member of the Institute of Food Technology, A HAACP (hazard analysis critical control point) Instructor with a Bachelors degree in Nutrition Science.
WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? Warren Green can be reached at warreng9241@hotmail.com
Last month I passed the 77 year old threshold. I can state adamantly, it’s about the food. I’m saying that as an 11 year cancer survivor, and a food safety specialist. My Mission, Advocacy and Passion is to improve the quality of the food. That will strengthen the immune system, and help the body mitigate our toxic environment through our culinary intake.
Everything starts with the quality of the food. Our government policy is that if the product is not “Certified Organic” you’re consuming it at your own risk. Agriculture products labeled “USDA -Certified Organic” means that the products have been produced according to USDA organic regulations, which means that if its not labeled certified organic it’s probably not. USDA Organic regulations can be found at (7 CFR Section 205) they include all USDA organic standards, including prohibited practices, requirements, and The National List of Allowed and Prohibited Materials. Last time, I mentioned “spin farming” and promised some details. “Spin” is an acronym for “Small Plot INtensive and is defined as an organic system that is production based. The components are sub-acre in scale, low capital intensive, entrepreneurially driven, and close to markets. “Organics” are the fastest growing segment in the food industry, growing at 20% annually. The Albemarle region is within the 500 mile radius required to be identified as a local supplier, and has the longest growing season in that radius. Using spin farming, an entrepreneur can offer a custom grown organic product, to any customer in the world. That kind of segues into a remarkable advertisement by a major, highly regarded food company. They are saying that their food will be “clean” by the end of the year. That speaks volumes, and they’re one of the better ones. That kind of ad campaign will make some organic suppliers rich. Finally, I came across an interesting study NCI about obesity and cancer, I thought I’d should share to further the discussion about food as medicine. Obesity is associated with increased ricks of at least eight cancers and maybe more.

Orthodox Christianity
ST. MOSES THE BLACK (330-405 AD)
St. Moses was an Ethiopian.
He was a slave of a pagan government official who dismissed him for theft and incorrigible behavior. Moses took up a life of criminality and violence. Moses was a man of great physical prowess. He led a gang of bandits in the Nile valley. Being sought by the authorities, Moses fled to Egypt’s Nitrian Desert, to an area known as Sketis, which was known for its secluded monastic communities. There, to escape detection, Moses took refuge in one of the monasteries. Moses was deeply impressed by the single-minded devotion and ascetic discipline of the monks. He soon became a Christian, was baptized, and joined the monastery. He was trained by St. Isadore the Priest and received instruction from St. Macarius the Great. After many years of spiritual struggle, Moses himself became a great monastic elder and a guide of souls. Some of his sayings and some anecdotes of his life were recorded by his disciples and passed down to us in the Apothegmata Patrum (The Sayings of the Desert Fathers). When Moses was seventy-five years of age, in about the year 405, the monastery was attacked by barbarian invaders at whose hands Moses and seven companions were martyred. His earthly remains are at the monastery of al-Baramus, in Egypt. His feast day in the Orthodox Church is August 28.
Joseph H. Forbes, Jr.
From the “Apothegmata Patrum:” A brother at Scetis committed a fault. A council was called to which Abba Moses was invited, but he refused to go to it. Then the priest sent someone to say to him, “Come for everyone is waiting for you.” So he got up and went. He took a leaking jug, filled it with water and carried it with him. The others came out to meet him and said to him, “What is this, Father?” The old man said to them, “My sins are running out behind me, and I do not see them, and today I am coming to judge the errors of another.” When they heard that they said no more to the brother but forgave him.
Ron Stevens Hand-Carved Decoys
By: C.L. Cooke
Ron Stevens is a woodcarver of eastern waterfowl.
As he drifts into semi-retirement, he spends even more time in his busy workshop perfecting his unique skill. By “chip carving” cedar knees into lifelike decoys, then painting with detail of exacting feather head-to-tail, Stevens’s blue ribbon pedigree is evident. A current resident of Elizabeth City (EC) via Chincoteague, VA, then the US Coast Guard, he continues to display in shows along the east coast. His style ascended from research of H. V. Shrouds, and studying the works of locals Ned Burgess and Ambrose “Hambone” Twiford. His passion is projected as he teaches 2-3 classes per year in the white building on the Kenyon Bailey property in EC. The depth of artistry in his decoy creations emerged from a three-dimensional approach to carving. He developed a system of tripod cameras in his aviary some years back to create angle, curve, and depth to show an exacting proportion in a life-like decoy. Stevens work will be displayed this month at the Currituck Wildlife Festival. (See page 2 for details) Y’All Come. The experience for all ages is enriching.

Possession of firearms by people convicted of felonies For decades, the law in this state concerning possession of firearms by people convicted of felonies was murky at best. A felon who completed his probation/parole could possess a long gun anywhere, and a handgun only on his own property. However, this conflicted with federal law, which prohibited a felon from possessing any firearm. The federal law was rarely enforced at the state level, and even then it was used against people who committed a new, serious crime like bank robbery. The state legislature changed the state law to conform with the federal law, so that no one with a felony conviction could have a firearm. This poorly publicized change in the state law caught many people unaware. Suddenly, people with a 30 year old felony were being arrested while out hunting, and charged with the major felony of Possession of Firearm by Felon, which carries mandatory prison time. The public outcry led our legislature to create two ways to provide relief to people who had a single lapse in judgment years ago, but have abided by the law ever since. The first way is to have the conviction expunged. An expungement is available for people who have committed a low-level felony (class H or I), such as breaking or entering or larceny. Generally, the applicant has to have a single felony conviction, with no subsequent convictions (other than a traffic conviction) for 15 years since he completed his probation/parole. The motion has to be filed in the NC court where the conviction occurred. He also has to demonstrate good character. If granted, an expungement wipes the conviction from the public records. In fact, the statute goes on to say that the person may thereafter deny that they were convicted, or even arrested, without fear of prosecution. Because an expungement has the effect of restoring the person to his pre-conviction status, he may again possess a firearm.

252-339-5218
The second way is to petition for restoration of firearms rights. This method leaves the felony conviction in place, but allows the person to regain his rights to a firearm. The advantage of this method is that it allows for restoration of rights even to those convicted of more serious offenses (Class D felonies and below), and it can include an out-of-state conviction. Generally, an applicant has to have had a single felony conviction, had no subsequent offenses, and been of good character for 20 years following the restoration of their other civil rights. (In NC, this would be the completion of probation/parole. Other jurisdictions define restoration of rights differently.)

Under either method, the felony has to have been non-violent, and not involved an assault or the use of a weapon. The felony generally cannot be a sex crime. The person cannot be under a domestic violence protective order. They have to have demonstrated good character for the required time period. It is important to note that the judge is not required to grant relief in either case. The statutes say the judge â&#x20AC;&#x153;mayâ&#x20AC;? grant the relief if the court finds that the criteria have been met, so it is important to present the case to the court Love Your Local Indies in the most favorable light. No judge is going to grant the & Shop,Dine & Stay with us! motion if he/she has any idea that the applicant will be back in court on another charge in the future. Historic Downtown Elizabeth City

You’ll Know It When You See It
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. -- Mahatma Gandhi
By: C.L. Cooke
The chances of seeing it just went up dramatically. Janet Ainge has collected time in a bottle (so to speak) in her business at 201 Main St. in South Mills, and the four buildings on the property. As I rummaged through the thousands of collectibles, I was taken back to days of future passed. Childhood memories rushed to me at the sight of the 5 cent Coke bottle. The Topps baseball cards took me to my Little League days in the 1950’s. I had forgotten all about the hurricane lamps on the living room mantle. They lighted our house for days after Hazel struck the Virginia and North Carolina coast. What most amazed me about Janet’s Crafts and Flowers Flea Market was the sheer volume of nostalgic items from porcelain dolls to antique jewelry. Barbie, Disney, Cabbage Patch, Elvis, Harley Davidson , Michael Jordan, and John Deere were all there to greet me. Mother played the piano; mostly on Saturday night when my cousins, aunts, and uncles would visit. Janet has the old sheet music for the Wurlitzer mama played. I chose to wander on my own at first. Both men’s and women’s clothes were hanging and piled on tables. Crocheted Afghans and quilts of many colors filled more tables. The collection of different NFL jerseys, and biker shirts, and NASCAR ball caps caught my interest. Then I saw the most beautiful figurines. A Native American Chief , on the shelf, right beside a China Doll. Time to call-over Janet…I had questions. She explained that so many people have so many different travel experiences, and their family heritage is so varied that anyone is liable to find something they feel is close to them. So true. Her collection of knives is varied and always functional. I found one from my Cub Scout days.

But I used to think I was a pack rat…never throw anything away, because when you do you need it about a week later. Well, Janet is not the ultimate pack rat, she is just someone who realized that there is value in memories, and some old things still serve a purpose. Janet also creates silk flower arrangements for all occasions.

Epidemic use of force: Criminals caused 16.3 times more deaths than police. 30.5% more deaths were caused by falls and 34.2% more deaths were caused by motor vehicles than by police. The profession responsible for the vast number of deaths is the medical profession. Compare the 990 police caused deaths with the 251,454 deaths caused by medical errors! Deaths by police are on the rise: Center for Disease Control shows a decline from 2012-2014 with an average decline of 3.3% per year. Police kill unarmed people: Armed cannot mean only a gun or knife, it includes motor vehicles, clubs, and hands used by assailants, or 11% of police killed were by unarmed citizens and 9.3 percent of those killed by police were “unarmed”. Police target African-American men: Johnson reports “…258 of the 990 individuals killed by the police in 2015 were African – American , all but 10 of which were male. So that means 25% of those who died from police use of force in 2015 were African American men and 1% were African American women. On the other hand, 468 (47.3%) of those killed by police in 2015 were White (non-Latino) males and 26 (2.6%) were white (non-Latino) females. In other words, almost twice as many non-Latino Whites died from police use of force as did African-Americans” . Johnson reports African American men are 14.4 time more likely to die in a traffic accident than from the police. They are 27.4 times more likely to be murdered than killed by police. Implicit Bias by Police drives Deadly Force: Citing a review of 46 research studies involving 5,600 subjects, Johnson reported an absence of research findings of racially prejudicial behavior. He pointed out that the research showed police drew their guns, fired or accidently shot White suspects more than African American suspects. Excessive Force is linked to a lack of Diversity of Police Forces: The US Dept. of Justice reported 12.2 % of police are African American, 11.6 % are Hispanic and 3.5% are other non-white, that is about the % in the population. Many of the major cities have police forces that are a majority nonwhite. What should we conclude? Johnson pointed out that there are roughly 385,000,000 police citizen contacts, and 11,205,833 arrests per year. Those actions involve 48,315 officers assaulted and 990 suspects killed. Let’s follow the research and help the kids from early age to be good citizens. Educators: that means Ethics Courses. We should improve and increase our research into causes and expand our human relations training in our police academies.

Gun Tips By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges Last installment I vented a bit, that ain’t over till it’s over. Not this time however.
As Americans we are about to enter hunting season. Some who enter the wild are experienced and there are newbies. The deal is that when the bullet leaves the barrel you can’t call it back. No frills, if you have sighted your game look beyond just in case there is another hunter in the line of fire. Many will hunt and bring home some prize. Some will not. Safety is the real winner out there. A remembered hunt is great. I hope none of you hunters will have more on your plate than you can deal with. Nuff said. Now is the time to get your shooting arms ready. Pull em out and check them. Did you unload them. Double check and then clean them up. Good lubes are available. A dirty, gritty gun doesn’t cut it and it may not operate. Never ask about calibers since we operate in millimeter and English measurement. Look at the stuff you like and find the up and downs of a specific round and will it do well in your piece. I too scratch my head as to what will in a specific bore work and what will not. As I have mentioned, much has happened in our nation as well as others. Many have resorted to concealed carry permit operators and some just open carry. If you don’t know what your preference will do, well, you may not be a winner in conflict. Gun handling, safely, will refresh knowledge and sublimely boost confidence. All part of the game. Know before you go. I still have favorites one being the .357 magnum. With that I have clear choices. Snake shot, 38 special and .357 magnum. Three for one. Have a great time in the woods and look where you step.
When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator. ---Mahatma Gandhi
It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. -- Mahatma Gandhi

Cushing’s Escape Paddle By: David Bennett, Curator at the Port o’ Plymouth Museum
Helping Northeastern NC Families since 1998 with Personal Loans Automobile Financing Retail Financing
In late October of 1864, Lt. William B. Cushing (USN) was paddling for his life down Conaby
Creek in a stolen boat having just accomplished one of the most daring raids of the Civil War. Cushing and a small band of sailors, against all odds, had attacked and sunk the CSS Albemarle, a powerful Confederate ironclad anchored on the Roanoke River in Plymouth, North Carolina. Cushing was now alone. The rest of the team was dead or in enemy custody. He was a wanted man with Rebel troops in hot pursuit. Cushing is remembered for his raid, but how he survived is as equally as impressive. As the Albemarle began to sink, Cushing hurled himself into the Roanoke River. Immediately, a manhunt was on to find him. Confederate troops searched the river, but to no avail. Cushing later awoke in a swamp just outside of Plymouth where troops were still searching for him. Instead of taking flight, Cushing lurked in the swamps until he could confirm the Albemarle’s demise. After learning from a slave that the ironclad was destroyed, Cushing proceeded to make his escape. Upon arriving at Conaby Creek, Cushing stumbled across a group of Confederate soldiers camped out with a small boat moored by their tents. While the soldiers sat down to eat by the campfire, Cushing sneaked in and stole the boat out from under their noses. He then made a beeline down Conaby to the Albemarle Sound where the Union Navy would be waiting for him. As Cushing paddled, he chanted his own name; relying on his incredible sense of selfconfidence to push him through the fatigue and hunger. Upon making it back to Union naval forces he collapsed with exhaustion. On Saturday, October 22, 2016, the Port o’ Plymouth Museum will host a canoe/kayak paddle on Conaby Creek that commemorates Cushing’s raid and his daring escape. Tickets are $35/ person and include shuttle transportation, chase boats, a t-shirt, a light breakfast, snacks, a catered lunch, and a presentation on Cushing and the CSS Albemarle.

By Duvonya Chavis The Chowanoke Indians The past two articles have focused on the colonization that took place in Chowanoke
territory by settlers who found their land to be desirable and fertile. English settlement began first in the 1640’s by those who came from Jamestown, Virginia and again later in 1663 by those who were encouraged through the free land grants administered by the Lord Proprietors of Carolina. It was during this second wave of settlement that the Chowanoke Indians entered into a treaty with the English. This treaty lasted for several years until a war broke out in 1675 between the Chowanoke and the English. There are many speculations as to what may have provoked the Chowanoke to initiate war against the English. The Chowanoke Indians had previously welcomed them in spite of any prior deeds that had been committed against them by these English. Some theories have been postulated to explain that they may have been incited by other tribal Indians or may have received news of heinous acts that had been recently committed by the English against other Indian tribes. During the same year, King Philip had engaged in war against the Wampanoag Indians, another Algonquian tribe located in the northeastern part of America. This war had recently ended with the execution of many Indians and the enslaving and removal of many other Wampanoags to the West Indies. Nearby, a war ensued between the Susquehanna Indians and the English in Virginia which also took place in 1675. These Indians had sought refuge among the Chowanoke for a brief period of time and could have instilled fear in the Chowanoke Indians of their eventual fate. Whatever the reason, the Chowanoke struck and during the first year, had initial success.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be. By: Stella Knight As a parent, I want to treat my children equally and also to make things simple for them when I pass away.
I have recently written about the importance of planning – making your wishes known to family members and friends. What happens if you have lent money (whether $10,000 or $50,000) to your middle child, but also placed all your assets in joint name with rights of survivorship with your youngest child? Are you setting your family up for strife, turmoil, and hurt feelings? Here’s an example that illustrates the importance of some advance planning. Margaret is a sixty-five-year-old widow and mother of three. At her death, she wants her children treated equally and also to make things as simple as possible for them. She has placed all her assets in joint name with rights of survivorship with her youngest daughter, whom she trusts implicitly. Margaret assumes that when she dies, the youngest daughter will divide any remaining property with her brother and sister. Furthermore, Margaret has loaned approximately $25,000 to her middle daughter. First, it’s important for Margaret to accurately and completely express her desires either in a will or trust or to family members, so that at the time of her death there will not be hurt feelings, unanswered questions, and a divided family. There are different methods for distributing property at your death: by operation of law, disposition in a will, or distribution pursuant to a trust. Assets that you own with a child (with rights of survivorship) will pass to the child by operation of law since (it is assumed) that the child will be the surviving joint owner. These assets will not be part of your probate estate. The child becomes the sole owner of these assets. The potential problem: what if she decided not to divide these assets with your other children? This does happen. Furthermore, there may be gift tax consequences to your youngest child if she were to divide the assets and give more than $14,000 to each of her siblings in a year. Is this really what you want?

There are many serious issues regarding the loan to the middle child. First, is there anything in writing that states the interest rate and the amount and frequency of payments? If not, you should get something in writing immediately. The writing should include this important information as well as when the debt is to be paid in full. Is this loan a secured obligation? In other words, has your daughter given you a lien or second mortgage on her home or business? If your daughter doesn’t repay the loan, does she have any assets to sell to pay the debt? Are your daughter and her husband jointly liable for the loan? At your death, it will be necessary to establish the date of death value, also known as the outstanding balance on the loan. Have you been keeping detailed records of payments? Many times, family members make no payments, only interest payments, or partial payments during the lender’s lifetime. If accurate records are not kept, the outstanding balance may be a source of contention among your children. Whether or not you intend to forgive this loan at your death – it should be stated in your will or trust. There are also tax consequences both during your lifetime and at your death regarding this loan to your daughter. The discussion regarding potential tax issues is beyond the scope of this article. Now is the time to open the lines of communication with your children and to discuss these issues. It is important for you to know your options and to make your desires known to your family and professional advisors. You can decide to treat this as a loan, as an advancement against your daughter’s inheritance, or as a gift. Open communication will allow family members to know what’s going on. When action is taken in secret, feelings are often hurt and the family may become divided. Your children may have some suggestions depending on their financial positions and further concerns. Avoid future family conflict, seek competent advice, and get something in writing. Stella Knight is an attorney licensed in North Carolina and Florida, with a major area of her law practice emphasizing estate planning, probate, trusts, wealth preservation and elder law. This is a fictitious situation to illustrate the principles discussed. The information contained in this column is of a general nature and does not constitute legal advice.

Freemasons During The War Between The States
By Dr. Dave
Referencing the book house undivided by Allen Roberts published by McCoy Publishing
In the midst of The War Between The States the bitterness, hatred, and bloodshed, Freemasons through it all stood
as a monument to flared and tempered passions, to brotherly love and to sound thinking and truly a house undivided. There are some men who claim they are self-made, they are in error, for without the help of God and thousands of individuals, no man can accomplish anything worthwhile.
Buck Hilliard 252-330-2618 - Cell: 757-377-6874 Billy Hilliard 252-302-1601 563 Crocker Hill Rd Elizabeth City, NC 27909
The task of this article is for education, knowledge, and an interest to so many that are unfamiliar with the true worldwide brotherly love and to bring interested others to inquire about joining the craft of freemasonry. “JUST ASK”. The question is often asked, what has freemasonry to do with the two wars for Independence in America? Actually freemasonry had nothing to do with any war, yet Freemasons had much to do with these two wars in America for it was Freemasons who endeavored to prevent both struggles, and when that proved unsuccessful of all involved. Members of the craft were among the highest in command of all armies and all wars: they held top political posts and were at the head of humanitarian agencies. Although it has been traced to the 10th century B. C., history indicates that the fraternity of Freemasons was introduced into England in 926 A.D. as an association that continues to thrive today. The brotherhood was confronted with difficulty when the War Between the States broke out in 1861. Freemasons, both northern and southern, were forced to choose a side and go against the very foundation of the society of freemasonry. Despite all their differences, masons continued to practice their principles of brotherly love and good will on the battlefield, thus proving that the men who joined the order would not, under any circumstances, sever their bonds of Masonic unity. Freemasonry is not a religion even though it is religious in character. It does not pretend to take the place of religion nor serve as a substitute for the religious beliefs of its members. Freemasonry accepts men, found to be worthy regardless of religious convictions. An essential requirement is a belief in the existence of a supreme.” TO BE ONE JUST ASK ONE”. No attempt is made here in this article to analyze the various battles fought, or which side was right and which side was wrong. Both sides of The war between the states were right and both sides were wrong to an extent of all issues. It is important to research all factions of what individuals were involved and what issues were problematic. What was actually said and done is the important factor here, and not what someone claims to have said or done one hundred and fifty years later. The old adage of believe little of what you hear and read and see holds more sense. At the time communication was poor and newspapers often were unreliable of the truth and pertinent facts. During the conflict of “Lincoln’s War” over three hundred generals in Confederate and Yankee armies were Freemasons plus an unaccountable number of other officers and men.” Lincoln and Grant” were not masons some of the considered best were” Nathan Bedford Forrest, John Hunt Morgan, Henry Heth, Lewis Armistead, and James Kemper. By the end of the war, there were approximately four hundred thousand members on the books. From the beginning of freemasonry to the present, masons have passed through wars, conflagrations, and persecutions. The craft has been hurt, sometimes almost extinguished, only spring back stronger than ever. During The war between the states, the unity of freemasonry was still apparent .Lodges met within the sounds of guns and the din of battle. Masons wearing gray, joined hands with those in blue, in peace and harmony. The sounds of war were stilled while southern masons buried their brothers from the north and vice versa. Grand lodges from the north sent money to Grand lodges in the south to help destitute families of masons where the scenes of battle were vivid after the Yankee soldiers denigrated everything intentionally. Most masons of both sections were merciful angels about the prison camps. Churches and other organizations were torn apart, but masons had been taught toleration and helped one another. When the war was over it was freemasonry that helped to heal the wounds of ill-will and aided in bringing the south and north together.. Just before the turbulent uprising which would become The war of northern aggression, it was written through the southern Grand lodge to let the three hundred thousand patriotic masons good and true of America unite in fervent prayer to our heavenly Grand master.

The pier, which took its last knockout punch in 2010 with Hurricane Earl, has been closed since that sad September day. While I never had the privilege of fishing on her, I have caught plenty of Speckled Trout and Puppy Drum while surf fishing on her north side. I have heard the stories of friends and old fishermen tell the tales of how many fish had been caught from her wooden planks. The pier was said to be a haven for King Mackerel and Cobia. Located near the Frisco-Hatteras border, the old wooden pier was built in 1962 and was called the Cape Hatteras Pier. The pier was damaged during Hurricane Isabel in 2003 and was then bought by its last owner Tod Gaskill. Gaskill repaired the pier, but hurricanes and storms took their toll. Then Hurricane Earl struck the knockout blow which closed the fishing platform permanently. The National Park Service struck a deal with Gaskill in 2013, in which the Park Service purchased the pier and the right of way from the state highway. This essentially ended all talk and rumors that the pier would be saved and repaired. The National Park Service announced this June that they would finally be removing the skeleton of the beloved pier and her pier houses in the late fall of 2016. The Frisco Pier House is an iconic Hatteras Island Landmark and is recognized by its bright yellow colors that have survived numerous Hatteras Island seasons. She is regularly the focal point of photographers and painters who use her for beautiful works of art. Wooden piers like Frisco are disappearing from the North Carolina coast because of their high maintenance and insurance costs. The Frisco Pier was the only fishing pier south of Diamond Shoals on Hatteras Island, and because of its location is one of the reasons the pier produced such great pier fishing seasons. This same location is also one of the reasons it may have become a victim of numerous hurricane assaults. They don’t call the area of Diamond Shoals “The Graveyard of the Atlantic” for nothing, and all of the damage to the pier is evidence of the dangers of having a pier in such a hot spot. However with the risk comes the reward. If you look at old fishing reports from the pier or talk to some of the anglers who used to walk her planks, you will learn that the Frisco Pier was a highly productive pier. I have talked to anglers who said the pier frequently yielded great catches of the normal bottom fishing fish such as Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Trout, Sea Mullet and a host of other fish. So if you are down here in Hatteras this late summer or the early fall, make sure you stop by, + take a picture or two of her, and wish her farewell.
Executive Shoe shine Station and Shoe Repair is a small business located in Elizabeth
City, North Carolina at the Southgate Mall. The Co-owners, Hezekiah Brown and Ernest R. Sutton, recognized that there was a need in this area for this service. Seeking to fill this void, Executive Shoe Repair was born. Captured by the absence of this service and the strong support from the surrounding community, approximately two (2) years ago this service was officially made available to their customers. The business started out with offering only the Shoeshine Service, but the idea all along was to expand into shoe repair as well. Executive Shoe Repair offer an array of leather repair services, to include, cleaning of tennis shoes and timberland boots. But prehaps the service they are most proud is their orthopedic shoe repair services which is normally an expensive and scarcely available service. Executive Shoe Repair offer this service and all their services at extremely competitive prices. Their montra is: “We save Soles and heel”!!!! Ernest Banks, a former employee of the famous “Cranks Shoe Repair” is the craftsman on duty who will always greet you with an engaging smile and spirited friendly conversation.

Ghost Walk 2016 Marks a Milestone with Best of 20 Years The Albemarle’s premier living history event, The Historic Elizabeth City Ghost Walk, will take place October 14 and 15, from 5:30 to 9:30 each night. Ghost
Walk is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the Best of 20 Years of Ghost Walk. Eight sites will host characters from Elizabeth City’s past, including a Vaudeville musical reminiscent of the James Adams Floating Theatre at Arts of the Albemarle. Here’s a run-down of this year’s ghosts: Nell Cropsey, the beautiful 19-year-old whose 1901 murder has never been solved. She’ll appear at the Episcopal Cemetery, near the Pool family vault, where her body spent one night—the night of her autopsy. Tamsen Donner taught school in Elizabeth City in the 1830s and married a man from Camden. After his death she moved to the Midwest and met George Donner. Together they perished in the Donner party tragedy, trying to cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains during an early blizzard. Tamsen’s body was cannibalized by other members of the party. She’ll appear at 1207 Riverside Avenue. Orville and Wilbut Wright traveled here by train many times between 1900 and 1909, on their way to Kitty Hawk. They’ll appear in the former Fowler Store on Water Street, where the Wrights actually purchased supplies to set up camp in Kitty Hawk. Captain Israel Perry took Wilbur Wright to Kitty Hawk on his fishing boat Curlicue, on Wilbur’s first trip there in 1900. Captain Perry will give a droll account of his experience with his soon-to-be famous passenger and the storm that almost capsized them. He will appear at 905 Riverside Avenue. The famous American poet Robert Frost visited Elizabeth City in 1894, when he was a young man. In a fit of pique over a failed romance, Frost traveled to the Great Dismal Swamp with the intention of ending his life. There he met up with a group of duck hunters who brought him to Elizabeth City. Frost wrote of the experience many years later in his poem “Kitty Hawk.” Frost’s ghost will haunt 1210 Riverside Avenue. Luther “Wimpy” Lassiter was an international billiards phenomenon who was a native and life-long resident of Elizabeth City. The six-time Nine Ball Champion will appear at Coaster’s Bar and Grill on Poindexter Street. Moses Grandy was a maritime slave from Camden County in the early 1800s. A skilled river pilot, Grandy worked to buy his freedom three times—having been cheated of it twice by his master. He published his life story in London in 1843. Moses Grandy will appear at the Coast Guard Park on Riverside Avenue. Ghost Walk tickets are $12; $10 for military and early responders. Tickets may be purchased at Muddy Water Coffee House, Page After page Book Store, Bryon’s Hot Dogs, and Arts of the Albemarle. A preview of the Vaudeville show at Arts of the Albemarle’s Maguire Theatre will be held on Thursday, Oct. 13, at 7:00. The preview will be $5 at the door.

our backyard canal to our dinner table. That’s as fresh as you can get it. The fact that the boule serves as an edible serving container is a bonus. Everything is eaten. No clean-up! Crab Meat Boule 1 bread boule, preferably homemade, top sliced off, bite-sized pieces hollowed out. 1 lb crab meat 2 ounces cream cheese 1 stick unsalted butter 2 ounces brie cheese Juice of one lemon 1 TB sherry, or to taste 1 TB chopped red onion 1 TB chopped peppers (I like to use multi-colored peppers.) 1 TB chopped scallions 1 TB fresh, minced parsley Hot paprika Heat oven to 350°.
With a serrated knife, slice the top of the boule off. Hollow out the boule taking care not to tear through the sides or the bottom. In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter, cream cheese, and brie over medium low heat. Whisk until smooth. Fold in the crab meat gently, being careful not to break up the lumps. Place boule and torn bread pieces on a baking sheet and pour crab meat mixture into the boule. Bake in a 350° oven until bread pieces are nicely toasted and crab mixture is bubbly – about 15-20 minutes. Stir in sherry and lemon juice to taste. I don’t thoroughly mix in the lemon and sherry. I prefer, what I call, “pockets of flavors.” Sprinkle a little paprika on top. Top with a teaspoon each of the red onion, peppers, scallions, and parsley. Add more as needed as you work your way down into the boule. Use the toasted bread pieces to scoop up the crab meat mixture and enjoy one of the finest things you’ll ever put in your mouth.

Frisco Native American Museum FRISCO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM & NATURAL HISTORY CENTER PARTICIPATING IN TAKE A CHILD OUTSIDE WEEK
“Home of the Hickdog”
One of the joys in life is seeing a child light up with the excitement of discovery.
Opportunities to do that will abound during the annual “Take a Child Outside Week” September 24-30, 2016. The Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History will join with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and partner organizations across the U.S. and Canada to provide a week of fun and challenging ways to explore the natural world. “We know the importance of physical activity and the means to interact with nature,” said Carl Bornfriend, executive director of the museum. “Our goal is to support the program objectives to break down obstacles and create confidence and a sense of enthusiasm for new adventures in the wild. In order to help facilitate that, the museum will provide complimentary admission to families, teachers, and caregivers who bring pre-school and school-age children to the museum during the week of September 24-30, 2016.” The museum nature trail includes several acres of maritime forest with geese, ducks, and other wild birds inhabiting the large pond and waterway that crosses the trail. Winding paths include exhibits on plant life, Native American habitat, a longhouse under construction and a fossil pile for hands-on activities. Opportunities will also be available to work on a 10 foot cypress log and help transform it into a dugout canoe using shell scrapers and lots of “elbow grease.” Other program opportunities are available with advance planning. The museum is located on Hatteras Island and open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM; Mondays by appointment only. For more information visit www.nativeamericanmuseum.org or call 252-995-4440.

Northeast North Carolina Family History – Camping… By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com
Last month, my husband and I returned from a visit to a camp in central North Carolina where a group of girls from our church were camping for a week.
Remember the week where the weather forecasters were stating that it hadn’t been this hot for four years. And the humidity kept getting the “when it’s this high it’s tropical” comment! Well that‘s the week these brave souls were hanging out in tents. No air conditioning, a random snake nicknamed “Bob,” and a lot of fun activities involving water and lots of it. I did manage to return with a least one itchy chigger bite which was surprising as my husband is usually the chigger magnet. All that, especially the bug bite, reminded me of camping with my family. We never took a vacation to a resort, well we did live in one year round, in the Canadian Rockies, but no Disneyland or theme parks for us. No, when we went on vacation, we camped. Back before the days of seat belt laws, my parents would pack up a three room tent – yes, a three room tent, which travelled in the back seat and we kids rode on top of it. And everything else needed for six people fit in around it. We would drive to the Okanagan area of British Columbia and everything would get unloaded and the tent (did I mention it was three rooms) would get set up. Finally we had shelter and invariably when I threw myself down in the room my sister and I shared, I would get stung by whatever stinging creature was available. I don’t remember how many years we did this, but I know it seemed like forever. I remember one of my mother’s favorite comments was from a man who watched them pack everything up and get it and us in the car. He shook his head and said he was waiting to see if it could all (remember the three room tent) fit in our car. He was impressed when it did. If you’ve missed my ambivalence, I was a lot less impressed with camping than he was. So of course I married someone who enjoys camping and raised two sons who attended Boy Scout camp every summer. My husband was a Scoutmaster at various times and when he was, his troop camped at least once a month. When our boys needed an extra campout for a rank advancement, off they’d all go, thankfully leaving me behind. One of his favorite trips was a 60 mile canoe trip down the James River in Virginia with our oldest son. Our youngest son has introduced his fiancé to camping both in the winter snow and more recently, mountain summer. She posted a beautiful sunrise shot of the entire group in hammocks swinging between trees with a mountain meadow in the background with the comment she was really starting to like this outdoor “thing.” Oh well. All this begs the question, what did the family of your youth do for summer vacation? Were they fun or were they disasters? Or maybe something in between? What stories could you share that would help your current family come to appreciate their ancestors better? I can’t help but remember the times in the car with my children when our youngest would complain that his older brother was “looking at him.” I still use that to gently tease him, on occasion – I’m not sure if it’s a favorite memory for him, but it still amuses me. I hope you’ll take the time to relive and share some of those vacation memories and plan to create more in the future. Next month, October, is Family History Month. Set a goal to gather and be ready to share some memories (vacation or otherwise) with family members.

Saving is Good...But It’s Not Investing

It’s a good thing to have some savings. When you put the money in a low-risk account, you can be pretty sure it will be readily available when you need it.
Nonetheless, “saving” is not “investing” — and knowing the difference could pay off for you far into the future. Think about it this way: Saving is for today, while investing is for tomorrow. You need your savings to pay for your daily expenses, such as groceries, and your monthly bills — mortgage, utilities, and so on. In fact, you might even want your savings to include an emergency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses to pay for unexpected costs, such as a new furnace or a major car repair. These are all “here and now” expenses — and you could use your savings to pay for them. But in thinking of your long-term goals, such as college for your children and a comfortable retirement for yourself, most individuals typically can’t simply rely on their savings — they’ll need to invest. Why? Because, quite simply, investments can grow — and you will need this growth potential to help achieve your objectives. To illustrate the difference between saving and investing, let’s do a quick comparison. Suppose you put $200 per month into a savings account that paid hypothetical 3% interest (which is actually higher than the rates typically being paid today). After 30 years, you would have accumulated about $106,000, assuming you were in the 25% federal tax bracket. Now, suppose you put that same $200 per month in a tax-deferred investment that hypothetically earned 7% a year. At the end of 30 years, you would end up with about $243,000. (Keep in mind that you would have to pay taxes on withdrawals. Hypotheticals do not include any transaction costs or fees.) This enormous disparity between the amounts accumulated in the two accounts clearly shows the difference between “saving” and “investing.” Still, you might be thinking that investing is risky, while savings accounts carry much less risk. And it is certainly true that investing does involve risks — investments can lose value, and there’s no guarantee that losses will be recovered. Nonetheless, if you put all your money in savings, you’re actually incurring an even bigger risk — the risk of not achieving your financial goals. In fact, a low-rate savings account might not even keep up with inflation, which means that, over time, you will lose purchasing power. Ultimately, the question isn’t whether you should save or invest — you need to do both. But you do need to decide how much of your financial resources to devote toward savings and how much toward investments. By paying close attention to your cash flow, you should be able to get a good idea of the best savings and investment mix for your particular situation. For example, if you find yourself constantly dipping into your long-term investments to pay for short-term needs, you probably don’t have enough money in savings. On the other hand, if you consistently find yourself with large sums in your savings account even after you’ve paid all your bills, you might be “sitting” on too much cash — which means you should consider moving some of this money into investments with growth potential.

The Museum of the Albemarle (MOA) will celebrate its 50th anniversary in May 2017. In last month’s issue we
discussed life at the museum in the 1980s. This issue of Albemarle Tradewinds will focus on the 1990s. Over the years, as the museum’s popularity grew, visitation rose, and the interpretation area expanded to 13 counties. Bertie, Hertford, and Northampton counties were added to the museum’s interpretative area in 1997. Museum leaders included Barbara Taylor, John Whitley (interim), Charlene Akers, Wesley Creel, Rhonda Tyson, Claire Glasson (interim), and Edward Merrell. The museum opened over 40 exhibits during this decade including Taste of the Past: Early Foodways of the Albemarle Region, 1585-1830; Columbia Bicentennial 1793-1993: A Visit to Heart’s Delight; The Lost Colony Drama: Applauding 60 Years; Fire and Wind: Disasters of the Albemarle; and Fixing the Farm: The Rural Craftsworker. Visitors left wonderful comments on their visit including: “It is our hope that the museum enriches their [children’s] lives through enjoyment and learning.” “If we don’t preserved history, what is the youth of tomorrow going to know about today?” “MOA was born to preserve local history.” In 1989, MOA acquired a rare find, a circa 1755 house. Built along Knobbs Creek about five miles upstream from the Pasquotank River, the Jackson House interprets the lives of Albemarle farmers during the late colonial and early republic years. Though modest by later standards, the house allowed the family to live in a measure of comfort afforded to a very small minority of the region’s population. It is typical of many regional houses that were occupied by successive generations of the same family. The Elizabeth City Historic Neighborhood Association and the Museum of History Associates provided funds to move the house to the museum grounds in 1990. The Jackson-Jennings House Restoration Fund was established in 1992 and the Guild of Museum Friends pledged $25,000 toward the house’s eventual restoration. The Guild presented the final installment of their pledge in February 1999. MOA contracted building conservator Russ Steele of Currituck County to reassemble the Jackson House beginning in 2004. Today, the house can be found in the main gallery Our Story, interpreting the lives of small and mid-scale farmers from 1755 to 1820. Inside the house are artifacts and some reproduction items such as a circa 1735 corner cupboard, circa 1780 rocking chair, brass candlesticks, crocks, a spinning wheel, and a small wooden crib. Most children who step inside the house find amusement in the indoor “bathroom,” which is simply a pot under the bed. Also be sure and notice important features in the construction of the house including crown molding, flush-sheathed wainscot, corner stair ghost marks, and molded Georgian chair rail. Pick up next month’s issue of the Albemarle Tradewinds to learn about the museum during the 2000s. This month’s message is at the bottom of page 38

By now the Regular Summer Olympics in Rio are over. If you watched them this year you would
have seen the excellent coverage of the archery competitions. In September the Paralympics begin and you can see more archery and the challenges taken on by these competitors. Why, you might ask, am I speaking of Olympic Style target archery in a bow hunting column? Archery has been a competitive sport through the ages. Competitive target archery will enhance your skills for hunting. In Olympic style archery the competitors shoot rounds of three arrows at 70 meters. Granted, we do not hunt animals at that distance with bows and arrows, but that type of shooting will make us better at shorter hunting distances. The concentration involved, the holding on point, the steadiness in our forms are all attributes which contribute to better shooting when harvesting game. So what can we do to enhance our skills? While most of us do not have access to 70 meter ranges there are places we can go to get in the practice we need to enhance our skills with shooting the bow. 3-D shoots. There are various clubs and ranges within North Carolina and its neighboring states where an individual can go and shoot. Some 3-D shoots are competitive in nature and others will allow you to shoot the ranges for a small fee. 3-D shooting is the best way to get prepared for each upcoming bow season. The sizes and various types of targets are amazing and are challenging to shoot. Some distances are known and some are unknown, some courses allow the use of rangefinders and some you must guesstimate! (Both great for hunting situations). Field archery. This is an archery event in which archers will shoot known distances from 35 feet to 90 yards. The targets will vary in sizes from 6 inches diameter to 36 inches in diameter. A field event is an amazing course to shoot, whether using a compound bow, traditional bow or an Olympic style bow. Sometimes a field course will be an “animal” shoot . The archer will shoot at paper targets of animals from rabbits and squirrels to Kodiak bears. You will find these types of shoots enlightening as to your skills with a bow and arrow. They are fun, the camaraderie is amazing, and in many cases food will be in abundance. Search your area and find the ranges available for you to shoot and practice. If there are no ranges available in your area or nearby it is possible for you to me your own range. Get with some buddies and design a small course to shoot. Targets can be ordered and distances set up according to the National Field Archery Association, various companies that sell 3-D or general archery targets, or simply make your own, Regardless of which avenue you choose...... You will love it! ake a child with you and quadruple T your fun. There is nothing like the joy in a child’s eye from watching the arrow leave his bow. Unit Prices as low I have shot in all four events as $39.00 per month and like many I have a bow set up for 3-D, Olympic style, field style, and paper animal style shooting. (According to my wife too many). Remember hunting season is about 2625 US HWY 17 N Convenient / right on to start... check your equipment, Merry Hill NC 27957 Highway 17 Behind your ethics, and be safe!!

It’s hard for me to believe that we are about to start our 25th season! When we started Encore Theatre Company, there was no Maguire Theatre and no Center
Players. We were the only Community Theatre in the area. Through our association with the Arts of the Albemarle, we created the Main Street Stage which was our home for 13 years before we moved into the newly renovated Maguire. We are blessed to have had the support of our community for so many years. In the past 25 years, with the help of our Dress Circle Season Subscribers, community businesses and our audience at large we have produced many quality shows, over 75 productions in all for the community. We’ve managed our money well and recently we were able to purchase and renovate a building to serve as our rehearsal space and storage facility. Everything is now housed under one roof. We build sets, store our costumes, props & furniture and rehearse there. The Dress Circle has been a very important part of our success. It gives us the extra funding to bring you the best programming we can. Since we receive no government funding, our ticket sales, advertising and Dress Circle supports our shows and organization. We have many perks for our season subscribers. You can select your seating well in advance of the general public, Opening Night and the reception after are exclusive to the Dress Circle and since we are a 501.c.3 a portion of you donations is tax deductible. We know that there are many demands on time and resources but believe that a vibrant arts community in a small town is key to revitalization of the community and our quality of life. The arts bridge the gaps of understanding by bringing together many diverse audiences. Each year we have the privilege to entertain you with great shows. For our Silver Anniversary Season, we have a wonderful season planned. Two comedies and a musical that are sure to transport you to a happy place. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to seeing you at our first production in October, Running Mates. If you would like information on becoming a Dress Circle Season Subscriber please contact me at 252 338-3382 or pick up our brochure at Arts of the Albemarle and many locations around town.

A wise man once said... by: Publius Continued from last month Water Boiling is an age old method and kills all the Viruses, Protozoa and Bacteria. Bring the water to a
full boil and keep it there for 1.5 minutes. After cooling, stir the water and pour it back and forth between two clean containers several times. This will help to remove the flat taste which results from boiling . Some add a pinch of salt to each quart of water and shake vigorously. Remember, BOILING DOES NOT remove CHEMICAL or RADIOACTIVE contaminants . Chlorine liquid bleach may also be used. Use nothing but the PLAIN unscented version. Clorox is generally a consistent sodium hypo chlorite solution and by adding 8 drops per gallon of water it will kill the bacteria and viruses but is not effective against 100% of the protozoa nor does it render harmless any chemicals or radioactive particles. The 8 drops per gallon is sufficient for water with little or no suspended particles, however, double that amount if the water is cloudy. It is also a good idea to add this at the same rate (two drops per quart) to each container of stored water to insure its longest useful life. When treating, the water temperature should be no lower than 72 F for the chlorine to be most effective. Add the chlorine and mix by gently stirring. Allow the treated water to stand for 1.5 hours before using. After the 1.5 hours it should have a slight chlorine smell. If it does not, it should be treated again. If, after the second treatment, and the subsequent wait, there is still no slight chlorine odor, do not use the water. Whichever method you choose, always use the clearest water available. If you must use cloudy or muddy water, first filter it thru several layers of clean cloth to remove as many of the particles as possible. Be very careful not to allow any containers which have come into contact with your untreated water to contaminate your potable water. Metal containers may be sterilized by boiling for a full 2 minutes. I personally first filter the water thru a gravity filter system as described above and then boil it as described above. If storing the water processed in this manner, I also add two drops of sodium hypo chlorite (plain Clorox bleach) per quart. None of the methods described above will render salt water (sea water) usable for consumption. There are many ways to treat water including distillation and other filters or chemical treatments. The methods described are all relatively simple and are neither to be considered as medical advice nor recommendation of any type. They are presented for entertainment purposes only. The internet is a great source for further information. Do your research.

Back to School by Pastor Dan Bergey Another summer has come and gone. Time just keeps moving forward whether we are ready for it to or not. As all the students (pre-school thru college) return to school we need to remember a few things. First, we need to be praying for the students and staff of the schools. They need to be covered with God’s love and protection. Second, we need to watch out for school buses and students crossing the road. Plan for a few extra minutes of drive time, that way you won’t be as frustrated when you get stuck behind a bus. Third, find ways to encourage the teachers. We entrust them with our children and expect them to teach them everything that they need to know, all while dealing with large classes and little to no breaks during the day. Fourth, be praying for the upcoming See You at the Pole on September 28th. This day is a student led prayer event that takes place across the country. Please be in prayer for these students leading up to this event, as well as throughout the year. Sometimes as adults we get so caught up in all of our daily activities that we forget to stop and pray. As you drive past any school that morning, take time to pray with the students. Finally, to all the seniors out there, take time this school year to stop. Stop and enjoy every day, stop and reflect on what has gotten you this far, stop and thank everyone in your life that has helped you to reach this milestone. This year will go by all too quickly, so make the most it. Proverbs 22:6 “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” We have a calendar of events and projects to help and encourage students and staff. We would love to share them with you, and enjoy your help in making our School system healthy and productive. Every dollar, every item donated goes to help our children, students, and encourage our neighbor, teachers and staff.

Medicines And Medical Procedures During The War Between The States (Continued from last month)
By: Dr. Dave and Gary Riggs
In the early part of the war a lowly young assistant surgeon, was shuttled to the sidelines with medical grunt work: changing bandages, suturing wounds, and
grabbing grub for the doctors. But when the surgeons decided there was no point in treating chest wounds, doctors experimented with a new life saving procedure. At the outset of the war, a sucking chest wound was almost certainly a death sentence. Among French soldiers shot in the chest during the Crimean War ( 1853-1856) only eight percent survived. The problem, as doctors came to realize, wasn’t the wound itself, but the sucking. The negative pressure in the thorax was created by the opening in the chest cavity. The effect often caused the lungs to collapse, leading to suffocation. The doctor found that if he closed the wound with metal sutures, followed by alternating layers of lint or linen bandages and a few drops of collodion ( a syrupy solution that forms an adhesive film when it dries), he could create an air tight seal. Survival rates quadrupled, and the doctors innovation soon became standard treatment. The Plastic Surgery Revolution Burgan a 20 year old private had survived pneumonia, but the mercury pills he took as a treatment led to gangrene, which quickly spread from his mouth to his eye and led to the removal of his right cheekbone. He was willing to try anything, in a pioneering series of operations in 1862, a surgeon used dental and facial fixtures to fill in the missing bone until Burgan’s face regained its shape. The doctor now considered the father of modern plastic surgery, during the war, he and other surgeons completed 32 revolutionary “plastic operations” on disfigured soldiers. These doctors were the first to photograph the progress of the repairs and the first to make gradual changes over several operations. They also pioneered the use of tiny sutures to minimize scarring. To some it seemed pretty wacky, like Sci-Fi for the 19th Century. A newspaper enthusiastically and erroneously described the new treatments. “such is the progress of the medical department in these parts that half of a man’s face demolished by a mini ball or a piece of shell is replaced by a cork face”. The Yankees went into the first battle of Manassas (Bull Run) on July 21, 1862 arrogant and as cocky as a strutting rooster expecting a mere skirmish. The confederates overwhelmingly won the battle that day making the uppity Yankees skedaddle all the way back to their capital with their tail between their legs throwing away everything as they ran. Although 1,011 Yankee soldiers were wounded, empty ambulances led the retreat. Ambulances led the retreat. Most of the civilians drivers at the time were untrained and “of the lowest character”, according to a Yankee activist whose son died after lying wounded for hours on the battlefield, while his fellow soldiers ran away scared, passing everything and everybody selfishly thinking only of saving their own skins as the Yankee activist Dr. Dave is an Ivy League commented most of theme were cowards and drunkards. It took the medical director of the army 26 weeks to implement a Trained Executive Chef and system to evacuate and care for the wounded, becoming a model for the ambulances to ER system we know today.

Preparing for the storm - Extra Stuff.....
By: Delbert Grady
While writing this we are having a storm!
As I wrote in the last couple articles it pays to be prepared because things can sneak up on you. So far, we have covered storing some food and ways of cooking without power, but what about emergency needs? We live in a place that has one way in and out. When the road floods you are stuck until the water goes down enough to drive through. During one storm a few years back (in another house) my generator quit. We had lost power and my battery banks were getting low so I cranked up the generator. A few hours later the battery backup started beeping. There was three and a half feet of water in the yard, so I put on my waders and walked around back to find what happened. On the way, several snakes swam around me. Not a good feeling. Later, I thought what would happen if a snake bit me? The fire department could not make it for quite some time. (BTW the generator had a big hole in the side. It had oil so I never knew what happened. Luckily, we had a spare). More on generators another day. The next week we started gathering stuff in case emergency personnel couldn’t make it. One of the first things was a couple fire extinguishers. It never hurts to have them anyway. We found a first aid book (Amazon) and put it in a waterproof box with a first aid kit (Amazon) in the garage where everyone knew where it was. We gathered a couple pieces of plywood and a few tarps in case a window got broke or something happened to the roof. Also, some duct tape and bungee cords. I have a ham license and would recommend getting one to anybody. Contact your local ham club and they will help you. Buy a hand held transceiver (they are inexpensive). We all have experienced cell phone outages at one time or another so get a ham radio in case. And of course, you have to keep the kids entertained. A couple board games (Monopoly!) and a deck of cards can pass the time if the electronics are out. You can get those at a thrift store or flea market cheap. We gathered more stuff but you get the idea. Everybody has different needs so give some thought on what you would need if there were no help available. Until next month, stay safe.

Arts of the Albemarle Photo Club Many people associate Arts of the
Albemarle with painting, jewelry and woodworking. The organization also has had a Photo Club under its umbrella for more than 10 years. On Sunday, Sept. 25, Karl Bowden will lead the group to various spots in southern Camden County near Camden Point. This is a great opportunity to grab your camera and see some of the hidden gems in Camden County. The trip is open to the general public as well as club members. People wishing to participate should meet at the side parking lot (facing the gas station) of Camden County High School at 10 am. The club meets on the first and third Thursdays of the month at the Center, 516 E. Main St. Each month there is an assigned subject that the members focus on. After the images are submitted, they are judged by the club members. In addition, the club has had a project called the Ink Blot project going on quarterly for the past few years. Members look at a photo and see what it reminds them of and then submit their own photo for judging by the other members. For further information about the trip or club, contact Bowden at aoaphotoclubec@gmail.com. The club’s website is www.aoaphotoclub. wordpress.com. Jane Elfring is a local freelance writer for My Outer Banks Home and other local publications and a ghostwriter for LifebookUK. A retired teacher and journalist, she is involved in a number of local civic organizations.

Your Labor is Your Labor Day by Ken Penkowski It’s Labor Day 2016 today, here in Wake County (and probably where you are, if that “where” is in the U.S.) If you are a member of the productive class, you are probably celebrating the last long weekend of summer and not thinking too much of it. If you are in the ruling class, working for some government bureaucracy, thank you for being a little less of a burden on the rest of us today.
And while this government holiday’s stated purpose—to recognize “the social and economic achievements of American workers”—sounds admirable, the litany of regulation, licensing and taxation that face today’s productive American worker does everything possible to retard those achievements. According to the 2015 Index of Economic Freedom, the “land of the free” doesn’t even break into the global top ten. Isn’t it odd that we celebrate progress as the transition of industrial robber barons’ ownership of our labor to ownership by equally deleterious government bureaucracies? Of course, some justify this perversion of human dignity by arguing that you receive services you never asked for or general benefits that could be better realized through other means. Your labor, as an extension of the individual that is you, is your own. And when you are more free to trade that labor, through voluntary social cooperation, for other things that you find valuable, you have greater access to the services and communities that define progress, compassion and achievement. The 21st century is a different economic world, at least in the U.S., than the 1880’s. Nearly a century and a half old system of labor is no longer the primary input of today’s prosperity. Perhaps it’s time to relegate simple, status-quo notions of government, business and labor—along with other, equally offensive 19th century attitudes about gender, race, sexuality and social status—to the historical dust bin where they belong. Let’s make Labor Day our re-commitment to freeing our labor from the control of others and making it truly and justly our own. And maybe, some day in the future, we can use the first Monday in September to celebrate that achievement. Ken Penkowski, a Raleigh digital communications consultant, is an at-large member of the LPNC executive committee.
