Lord of the Flies is a 1954 novel by Nobel Prize-win-

ning English author William Golding about a group of British boys stuck on an uninhabited island who try to govern themselves with disastrous results.

Published in 1954, Lord of the Flies was Golding’s first novel. Although it was not a great success at the time—selling fewer than 3,000 copies in the United States during 1955 before going out of print—it soon went on to become a best-seller. It has been adapted to film twice in English, in 1963 by Peter Brook and 1990 by Harry Hook, and once in Filipino (1976). The book indicates that it takes place in the midst of an unspecified nuclear war. Some of the marooned characters are ordinary students, while others arrive as a musical choir under an established leader. Most (with the exception of the choirboys and Sam and Eric) appear never to have encountered one another before. The book portrays their descent into savagery; left to themselves on a paradisiacal island, far from modern civilization, the well-educated children regress to a primitive state. Source: Wikipedia

The Carolina Theater is bustling with rehearsals again

as a cast made of familiar faces and new stars prepare for another dramatic production sure to wow and charm audiences. This fall, the Hertford Theater is producing The Hallelujah Girls, a comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope & Jamie Wooten. Directed by Tom Laughlin, stalwart and founding member of the Theater, it stars Deborah Norbriga, Mark Anderson, both newcomers to the Carolina, strongly supported by Anne Taylor, Linda Gregory, May Robertson, Nelia Lane, Larry McLaughlin and Jacquie Zimmerman. Several of those names should be familiar to Carolina Theater fans. Loughlin has been heard to remark to his cast, “This may be the best show we’ve ever done here.” The Hallelujah Girls is a story of lost love, manicures, rising above hardship and the importance of a good facial, recreating yourself, reaching for your dreams, pedicures, saunas and Civil War legends. What more could an audience ask for in a sweet and salty comedy that will send them out laughing and humming Christmas carols? The technical side of the production, ably directed by long-time Carolina Theater member Steve Burket, ably

seconded by Frank Norman and Mimi Galgano, promises to be spectacular as Galgano’s color scheme underlines and enriches the story of rebirth and romance while Burket’s foley & lighting effects highlight the dramatic and slightly fantastic nature of the action. There are times when you almost believe that there’s an army of bulldozers outside, ready to do their worst For those who demand a more educations side to their theatre, The Hallelujah Girls promises to offer answers to the following questions: How do you get rid of a headache without pills? How do you make your dreams come true? How do you protect your small Georgia town against Civil War general Tecumseh Sherman? What’s more American than being “determined, motivated and self-reliant”? What’s more romantic than being separated from your lover by being “struck by lightning while riding bareback on the cliffs above a fjord in Scandinavia”? And, also, “how do you get so much stuffing in these jalapenos?” With Carolina Theater’s signature refreshments offered at intermission, The Hallelujah Girl’s is guaranteed to offer audiences a good night out. Just get your tickets at Carolina Trophy before the best seats are gone.

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? As my readers are aware, my mission is to upgrade food choices to mitigate the cancer disparity in this region. In order for food to work as medicine, it has to be clean, and supply the essential nutrients for optimum health. I’ve focused on food to address the disparity, because cancer researchers are looking at food, and food is the most obvious environmental culprit in this region that can be controlled. The problem is, the United State’s current food policy is risk-based and not zero tolerant, and that includes imports. There are numerous additives and manufacturing practices that are permitted in commerce, that are based on decades old regulations such as the “Generally Regarded As Safe� (GRAS) list, and policies that permit sub-therapeutic antibiotics and hormones in meat and poultry products without identification. However, government labeling policy permits a manufacturer to identify what isn’t in a meat or poultry food product, such as“no antibiotics or no added hormones�. So, let’s go a little deeper into processed foods, particularly cured products such as ham, cold cuts and sausage. Most cured products are processed with sodium nitrite, an additive that is required to be identified on the labeling. Meats naturally contain amines, and readily combines with nitrite to form carcinogenic nitrosamines. Government regulations require that meats manufactured in the U.S. must contain erythorbic acid or ascorbic acid ( antioxidants that mitigate the formation of nitrosamines). As a cancer survivor, I’d be reluctant about imported, because “Country of Origin� laws were rescinded. Further, livestock, including poultry are exposed to many of the maladies that humans are subject to, and some.

Their living conditions include unsanitary mutual water sources, feed made from GM O’s, overcrowding, parasites, poor sanitation, and exposure to the elements. Consequently, livestock probably receive as many medications as the average human. Those medications don’t stop at slaughter and many can withstand heat treatment. Human consumers may receive unnecessary arthritis medication, sub-therapeutic antibiotics, hormones, arsenic, and many more unlisted substances. I think we need to take long hard look at organic meat and poultry enterprises, as our major meat producers are going to foreign interest. Finally, the bottom line is, our region must rethink it’s diet, and transition toward organic food. Northeast North Carolina’s organic produce are known cancer fighters. Our organic produce while mitigating our health disparities, can supply high end organic produce to millions of customers around the world. Agriculture and agriculture related industries contributed 835 billion dollars to the United States Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which accounts for 13% of the average household budget. Organics are the fastest growing segment in the industry. For information regarding organic soil certification, contact: Shirley Brown, CEO of the Northeastern Coalition for Minority Small Farmers and Landowners (NCSFLO). 252-340-2428 Remember, let food be your medicine and support “The Organic Capital Of The World�.

Orthodox Christianity An Orthodox Life in a Hostile World by Father Seraphim Rose of Platina

The following is an introduction to one of Fr. Seraphim Rose’s last talks, given in 1982, shortly before his illness and death. Before beginning my talk, a word or two on why it is important to have an Orthodox world-view, and why it is more difficult to build one today than in past centuries. In past centuries—for example, in 19th century Russia—the Orthodox world-view was an important part of Orthodox life and was supported by the life around it. There was no need even to speak of it as a separate thing—you lived Orthodoxy in harmony with the Orthodox society around you, and you had an Orthodox world-view provided by the Church and society. In many countries the government itself confessed Orthodoxy; it was the center of public functions and the king or ruler himself was historically the first Orthodox layman with a responsibility to give a Christian example to all his subjects. Every city had Orthodox churches, and many of them had services every day, morning and evening. There were monasteries in all the great cities, in many cities, outside the cities, and in the countryside, in deserts and wildernesses. In Russia there were more than 1000 officially organized monasteries, in addition to other more unofficial groups. Monasticism was an accepted part of life. Most families, in fact, had somewhere in them a sister or brother, uncle, grandfather, cousin or someone who was a monk or a nun, in addition to all the other examples of Orthodox life: people who wandered from monastery to monastery, and fools for Christ. The whole way of life was permeated with Orthodox kinds of people, of which, of course, monasticism is the center. Orthodox customs were a part of daily life. Most books that were commonly read were Orthodox. Daily life itself was difficult for most people: they had to work hard to survive, life expectancy was not great, death was a frequent reality—all of which reinforced the Church’s teaching on the reality and nearness of the other world. Living an Orthodox life in such circumstances was really the same thing as having an Orthodox world-view, and there was little need to talk of such a thing.

Today, on the other hand, all this has changed. Our Orthodoxy is a little island in the midst of a world which operates on totally different principles—and every day these principles are changing for the worse, making us more and more alienated from it. Many people are tempted to divide their lives into two sharply distinct categories: the daily life we lead at work, with worldly friends, in our worldly business, and Orthodoxy, which we live on Sundays and at other times in the week when we have time for it. But the world-view of such a person, if you look at it closely, is often a strange combination of Christian values and worldly values, which really do not mix. The purpose of this talk is to see how people living today can begin to make their world-view more of one piece, to make it a whole Orthodox world-view. Orthodoxy is life. If we don’t live Orthodoxy, we simply are not Orthodox, no matter what formal beliefs we might hold. Life in our contemporary world has become very artificial, very uncertain, very confusing. Orthodoxy, it is true, has a life of its own, but it is also not very far from the life of the world around it, and so the life of the Orthodox Christian, even when he is being truly Orthodox, cannot help but reflect it in some way. A kind of uncertainty and confusion have also entered into Orthodox life in our times. In this talk we will try to look at contemporary life, and then at Orthodox life, to see how better we might fulfill our Christian obligation to lead otherworldly lives even in these quite terrible times, and to have an Orthodox Christian view of the whole of life today that will enable us to survive these times with our faith intact.

Second Amendment and the election. In a few weeks, we will elect a new President. That President will

shape the future of this country for generations to come, not only by a legislative agenda, but by appointing 4 Supreme Court justices as well. (Justice Kennedy is 80, Justice Ginsburg is 83, Justice Breyer is 78, and Justice Scalia is deceased). Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life, and can only be removed by impeachment. As this article is traditionally written about the Second Amendment, I’m assuming you have at least a passing interest in the importance of your right to bear arms. So before you cast your vote, you need to know the candidates’ positions on the subject.

One candidate has declined to say that the Constitution guarantees a right to bear arms, despite the plain language of the Second Amendment. That same candidate said that the Supreme Court decision in the Heller case (which affirmed the right of the individual to bear arms) was wrong, telling The Free Beacon on 10/1/15 that the Supreme Court was wrong in saying that the right to bear arms is an individual right. That candidate vowed to�make that case every chance I get�. One candidate is deliberately spreading the outright lie that there is an “online loophole� that allows people to legally buy guns interstate over the Internet with no background check or paperwork involved. This is a blatant attempt to gin up fear and hysteria for an issue that does not exist. One candidate told The Free Beacon on 10/16/15, “Certainly the

Australia example is worth looking at�, referring to the firearms confiscation plan conducted in Australia. One candidate told The Washington Post on 10/1/93 that they were “all for� a 25% tax on firearms and ammunition to raise money to fund health care. One candidate has vowed to repeal the law that protects firearms manufacturers from lawsuits over people using their product illegally. This would have the effect of destroying the firearms industry. One candidate told The Washington Post on 10/1/93 that they supported an “assault� weapons ban in the 1990’s, and that the ban should be reinstituted. One candidate supports “universal background checks� for every gun sale, even between family members and friends. These checks would have to be paid for, thereby raising the cost of the sale. The checks would be conducted by a government entity like the one who puts thousands of people on “no-fly lists� in error. Once you are on a “no gun list�, good luck getting off. Just ask the people on the no-fly list by mistake. One candidate has vowed to enact further gun control, by executive order if necessary. If you don’t know which candidate I’m talking about, isn’t it rather reckless of you to vote while ignorant of these positions?

Community Policing By: Warren Green

My father was a NYPD beat/community cop and later an India-

napolis (IPD) sector cop where he was killed in the line of duty responding to a domestic dispute. In the inner city, where I grew up, community policing was the model. The local beat cop was considered part of the neighborhood and served as its protector, social worker, truant officer and first responder. The influence of the beat cop was very apparent with the neighborhood youth, some of which were being raised by a single parent (Korean War and the draft). The community cop was often the most visible city official some communities would encounter, and many times, was a spokesman for the communities regarding the delivery of municipal services. They interacted with the local merchants, checking their doors and security after closing. Community policing defines a “Peace Officer�. The move from community policing to the current model, to save money, seems to be a costly miscalculation, and has damaged community and police relations in affected urban centers.

I have been in the insurance business for 47 years, longer than any other agent in this area specializing in Life and Health Insurance related policies. I also have degrees in Life and Health Insurance and in Financial Planning, but I specialize in Insurance planning!! I am not saying I am the smartest agent, just that I have the ability to do my work smarter for people and their business. I do not have a fancy office with 20 secretaries, I have worked out of my home since 1980. When speaking with folks, I come to their home or office, making it more convenient for you. I have written insurance articles for the DAILY ADVANCE, given seminars with other professional people in law, accounting and investments to help people get more knowledge.

by Jim Kaighn

I have a very good working knowledge on car, homeowners, and business insurance, for I use to have a license in Property and Casualty Insurance. I have taught insurance classes at the COLLEGE OF THE ALBEMARLE and insurance classes for Real Estate agents for them to better understand insurance and how it fits into their clientele’s insurance questions. The main difference between myself and other agents is that I work with many companies, not just one. Many times I am told that folks have their Life Insurance where they have their car and homeowners coverage because it is easier to have all their policies with one agent and one agency. This is good, but understand, that agent only has one company to choose from, they can not shop around for the best ideas, I CAN AND DO!!.. Also, that agency’s main business is car, homeowners, and business insurance, they are not 100% fixed on Life Ins. like my companies are. All I ask people to do is to give me a try, no promises, no scare tactics, just my best work THE FIRST TIME!!! I will be doing future articles on different topics and I will take ideas from the readers on topics they want info about.

Your questions are highly relevant to the current problems facing the community and the police profession. Anyone watching the news is aware of the need to address the issue of the relationship between the police and community residents in a number of jurisdictions. The journal Police Chief recently reviewed the elements of community policing as a strategy for building trust and cooperation between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. When I served as a criminologist for the Cornelius NC Police Department I researched the impact of the introduction of community policing into that community. Note that community policing is defined as a cooperative arrangement of the police and community to advance both public safety and quality of life. This is not the riot conditions caused by citizens with anger towards police as shown on TV. Rather, a collaborative partnership between police and community constituencies once created and built on trust and confidence in the ideals, policies, and practices of the police can build

a good condition for all groups. The recent report in Police Chief reviewed evaluations of community policing practices and found them to be inconclusive. Yet they noted that both anecdotal and empirical evidence to date indicate that practices of police-community cooperation that is reflective of community policing principles do promote police-community partnerships. In the case of my research we found that elements of “Community Policing” we reviewed were lacking in clarity, and that difficulty continues. In our case, we found that our introduction of community policing, involving the increased interaction of police with citizens around non-criminal matters, was association with a reduction in crime, and the same was seen in other research studies. As the Police Chief report noted, the “future of community policing as a model for improving police-community cooperation will depend on its translation as a policing philosophy into well-developed strategies of police-community cooperative actions”. We must have a standard and clear concept of community policing and evaluations. We can provide a police culture of accountability along with accountability on the part of citizens. We can reduce crime but we must work together.

The Pine Storehouse

By Coy Domecq

Pine trees play important roles in the United States. The most wellknown uses of pine include fodder for paper products, window framing timbers, flooring materials, pine pitch, turpentine, and cones for decorative crafts. Some lesser-known benefits of the pine tree from an earlier age include medical and nutritive uses. Many types of pines trees, notably the eastern pine, have needles that can be steeped to make tea that is high in Vitamins A and C. It is reported that pine needle tea contains as much as four times the content of Vitamin C than that of lemons. The pine nut, although small, packs a bundle of nutritive energy and is a common ingredient in recipes, such as pesto, but is also eaten raw or lightly toasted. Although appealing to those with a taste for such things, male pine cones, inner pine bark, outer bark of young pine twigs and resin can be consumed. From an aesthetic perspective, chewing on young pine branches was used as a breath freshener. Pine resin once enjoyed popularity as chewing gum; only a single flavor was available. One historical anecdote points towards how the Adirondack Indians got their name from the Mohawk Indians, as the term atir’u:taks can be translated as “tree eaters�. Not all parts of all pine species are safe for human consumption as some varieties contain toxins detrimental to humans.

The pine tree components offer many services as a medical tool box. Pine resin is known to have antimicrobial and anti fungal disinfectant properties and can be applied directly to wounds or breaks in the skin. The sticky resin was also used to remove splinters from the skin. Even today pine ingredients are found in dandruff treatments. Pine resin was also used as a worming compound, effective against roundworms and tape worms. As a medical instrument, it was used to quickly and effectively staunch blood flow.

With the benefits beyond building materials, it is easy to see why the pine tree has been an important plant genus throughout history.

Gun Tips

WANTED

By: Lloyd “Duke� Hodges

Are you confused about the political situation facing us? Me too. However, if you own a gun you need to vote. In the mid fifties I was stationed in Germany and I saw things that were the result of a population having been disarmed by the then government. Things I have never forgotten. As Americans we do have rights inscribed long go to protect us from an overreaching government. There are some people in high places that would try to disarm us or the very least make ammunition so bound in red tape and taxes it would make purchasing almost impossible. Read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I think now is the time to put some maintenance on your guns with some serious lubrication. We have had enough rain and humidity to create some rust and that will really impair good operation, especially semi-auto pieces. Gun safe interiors are not immune to dampness unless one has a dehumidifier and that is not written in stone. Clean them up. Well, I am chomping at the bit to go to the range to re-sight the long guns especially the laser bore sighted ones. I know from past experience that temperature can alter previous settings. As I have previously stated, shooting skills diminish with lack of practice. Dry firing (unloaded please) is a fairly good method to retain some skill. Remember one hundred rounds fired with no hits is not firepower, one round with one hit is firepower. Cold weather is coming and if you carry concealed consideration should be given as to how you can stay warm and quickly access you carry piece if it is needed to protect yourself and your loved ones from harm. Read the police reports in newspapers, locate addresses if provided and avoid those places. Remember this—you are your first responder and as such you must be familiar with the law. Comments?

Wendell Haire and the Invasion of Normandy By: David Bennett, Curator at the Port o’ Plymouth Museum

Helping Northeastern NC Families since 1998 with Personal Loans Automobile Financing Retail Financing

In May 1943, Wendell Haire, a native of Creswell, N.C., dropped out of high

school to join the United States Navy. Haire chose the Navy because he thought it would offer him an adventure and he liked the uniform. Little did he know that one adventure would change his life forever. At 10a.m., June 6, 1944, Haire was aboard a troopship off the coast of Normandy disembarking soldiers bound for Utah Beach. It was D-Day and the invasion of Normandy was on. Unfortunately, due to a lack of landing craft, the ship was unable to disembark all of its troops. The captain decided to move the ship close to shore to find an available landing craft and disembark the rest of the troops. Just after the vessel had unloaded its remaining soldiers it was struck by a German artillery shell on the starboard side below the waterline. Four explosions rocked the ship instantly killing five of the crew and wounding everyone else. Wendell Haire suffered a broken leg and severe burns. He was also trapped in the galley by himself. All seemed lost until one man selflessly came to his rescue. An African American sailor by the name of Flynt carried Haire up to the main deck and put him in a lifeboat. They cast (Photo courtesy of Virginia Haire.) off right before the ship rolled over and sank. Then everything went black.

Special thanks to the Golden Skillet and U.S. Cellular for sponsoring this article on behalf of the Port o’ Plymouth Museum.

When Haire woke up he was in a hospital bed in England. He was lucky to be alive. His ship had sunk in five minutes taking over half of the crew with her. Haire’s war was over. He would spend the next three years in the hospital undergoing a total of seven surgeries for his shattered leg. For his wounds, he received the Purple Heart. After the war, Wendell Haire married, had a family, and a made a career with the U.S. Postal Service. He was plagued, however, by his wounds for the rest of his life. He had sacrificed his health and comfort for his country.

The Importance of Planning

website - http://www.stellaknightlaw.com/

I have recently written about the importance of planning: making your wishes known to family members and friends. It’s not just about making your will; it’s about planning for unforeseen circumstances during your lifetime. Here’s an example that illustrates the importance of some advance planning. A few years ago, I was contacted by Rebecca. Her friend, Lillian, had suffered a stroke and was unable to communicate with her doctors, family members, or friends. Although Lillian had 2 children living nearby, they were busy with their families and at a loss as to what to do to assist their mother. After lying in the intensive care unit for several months and then being transferred to a nursing home for rehabilitation, Lillian’s bills were quickly piling up. Her family thought Medicaid would pay for Lillian’s care, but they didn’t know what to do or how to apply for assistance. Soon the creditors started calling and Medicaid denied Lillian’s application for lack of information. How could Lillian have planned and what will happen to this woman? This is a difficult situation; it will not be resolved quickly. First, when Lillian was capable and competent she would have been wise to execute a durable power of attorney. This is a legal instrument giving another person, whether a family member or a friend, full authority to act on your behalf and deal with your property should you become disabled or need their help. Also, Lillian may have thought it important to have a healthcare power of attorney. This document deals with healthcare decisions and if Lillian was unable to make or communicate her healthcare decisions, she could have given a friend or child the power to make healthcare decisions for her. The practical aspect is that Lillian’s agent could pay her bills, manage her finances, and give insurance information to medical providers. Lillian’s healthcare agent would have been making decisions regarding which nursing home to move her to and talking with her doctors about care treatment plans. But Lillian doesn’t have either power of attorney document and she’s incapable of executing any now, assuming she’s physically and/or mentally incapacitated after her stroke. So what are her options? A family member or friend will have to petition the Clerk of Court in a guardianship proceeding. Evidence will be heard to determine whether or not Lillian is competent. If Lillian is determined to be incompetent, a guardian will need to be appointed for her. A guardian is a court-appointed fiduciary who will make healthcare and financial decisions for Lillian. The guardian will make healthcare decisions and locate Lillian’s assets and begin to pay her bills and manage her affairs. While I have simplified the process in this article, there is considerable time and expense involved when a guardianship is required. Also, it is necessary for a bond to be posted, which adds time and costs money.

By: Stella Knight So, assuming Lillian is now being looked after by her guardian, what about paying for her care? First, the guardian may have discovered whether or not Lillian has health insurance and some coverage may be available per the contract. If so, that may only be temporary. What are Lillian’s assets? That may be more difficult to answer, but the guardian will be charged with discovering and recovering her assets. Many people do not realize that Medicaid only pays as a last resort. If you have assets and can afford to pay for your long-term care, you are responsible for the cost of your care. To simplify, Medicaid does not pay for long-term care unless the individual has less than $2,000 in countable resources and the cost of care is greater than the individual’s income. If the guardian discovers that Lillian has cash or investments worth $10,000 or more, then Lillian will have to pay for her own care. While Lillian’s guardian may benefit from the assistance of an Elder Law attorney to assist in planning for Lillian’s care costs, Lillian is responsible for paying for the cost of her own care. A discussion of Medicaid is beyond the scope of this article. What can be learned from this example? You are never too young to plan – Lillian was only 59 years young when she suffered her stroke. While it would be nice to think that our children will be there for us in our old age, like we were there for them, that’s not always the case and sometimes we have to look realistically at our children’s strengths and weaknesses. Is my daughter too emotional and unable to deal with stressful situations? Are my sons too busy or irresponsible to assist me when I need them? Is my daughter’s husband really after my money? Would I be better off asking a professional rather than a family member to manage my finances if necessary? Don’t wait until an emergency occurs before asking yourself these tough questions. This article is just to inform you of some things to consider in your estate planning.

OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

Windsor

There is a saying: “You can’t understand another’s experience October 8 – Walk A Mile In Her ShoesŽ until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.� Walk a Mile in Her ShoesŽ asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s shoes to get the community talking about violence against women. Albemarle Hopeline will sponsor such an event on Saturday, October 8 at Northeastern High School’s athletic field in Elizabeth City. Registration is at 8:00 am with the walk beginning at 9:00. There is no fee to walk, and men, women and children are invited to come and participate.

Men representing law enforcement across the Albemarle region will start the walk off by walking a lap around the track in women’s shoes with other walkers falling in behind to walk a 4 lap mile.

This event is part of Hopeline’s recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Each October Hopeline joins other organizations around the country in honoring those affected by intimate partner abuse and remembering those lives lost to the violence.

Senator Bill Cook’s Appeal to Virginia Results in Reversal of the Proposed Concealed-Carry Handgun Restrictions In December 2015, Virginia Attorney Gen-

the N.C. General Assembly, we expanded the number of places that a person with a concealed carry permit can carry firearms to protect themselves and their families,� Senator Cook said.

Senator Cook pointed out to Herring that Virginia and North Carolina share a 322 mile border, 58 miles of which lie within his district. “At least six of the eight counties in the district have many commuters traveling to Virginia to work. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, tens of thousands of North Carolinians travel to Virginia to work, daily,� Senator Cook said.

After receiving pressure from Senator Cook, the National Rifle Association (NRA) as well as other pro-firearm organizations, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and Republican lawmakers announced an agreement to reverse Herring’s decision that would have severed the reciprocity rights of gun owners with a concealed-carry permit in 25 states, including North Carolina.

In his letter, Senator Cook said “revoking North Carolina’s concealed handgun permit recognition in Virginia is a significant impediment to the safety of my constituents traveling in Virginia. A survey conducted by criminologists from Florida State University estimates that Americans use firearms in self-defense roughly 2.2 to 2.5 million times a year, or every 13 seconds.�

Data clearly shows a link between concealed carry laws and declining crime rates. Based on statistics from the FBI’s Annual Uniform Crime Report, right-to-carry states that widely allow concealed carry, have 22 percent lower total violent crime rates, 30 percent lower murder rates, 46 percent lower robbery rates, and 12 percent lower aggravated assault rates, as compared to the rest of country.

North Carolina requires all non-conceal permitted handgun purchasers to have a

“I was pleased and thankful for Virginia reversing a proposed policy that would have not recognized North Carolina concealed handgun permits,� Senator Cook said. “If the policy was enacted, it would have essentially put those with North Carolina concealed-carry permits in a precarious situation when traveling to Virginia. Thanks to all my constituents who contacted me about this issue - the vigorous activism most certainly helped.�

eral Mark R. Herring attempted to revoke Virginia’s concealed handgun carry reciprocity agreements with 25 other states, including North Carolina, citing they don’t meet Virginia’s standards. This caused uproar among the concealed carry and firearm community. However, shortly after Herring’s announcement, N.C. Senator Bill Cook (R-District 1) was North Carolina’s first elected official to fire back. Senator Cook released several statements and directed a letter to Herring communicating strong opposition and urged the Virginia Attorney General to reverse his decision.

Grandma Swain’s Sourdough Bread Grandma Swain always had sourdough on hand. Just about every

meal bread was on the table. The boys grew up eating homemade sourdough bread, rolls, even pancakes! Her starter has been lost long ago, so we included directions on making your own starter. Fermented foods are making a comeback because of the health benefits. Looks like sometimes the old ways are better.

**** Sourdough Starter

Ingredients:

Flour (bread flour would probably work best) Water (best to use filtered water today) Packet of dry yeast

ADET Class DWI / DUI Groups Mr. Marvin Gill Haddock

Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist

Ms. JoAnn R. Kaminski Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, CCS, ADC

BROADSTREET COUNSELING CENTER 110 Market Street Hertford. North Carolina 27932 TEL: 252-426-3130 FAX: 252-426-3132 Gill’s Cell: 252-330-6312 JoAnn's cell: 252-331-9955 Broadstreet.counseling@mediacombb.net

Ingredients:

Directions:

3 cups flour 1 cup warm water 1/2 cup sourdough starter **** 2 Tbs. Blackstrap molasses (you can use sugar) 1 tsp. salt

Combine flour and undissolved yeast, In large plastic, ceramic or glass bowl (don’t use metal). Gradually add warm water to flour mixture and beat until smooth. Cover with a cloth towel or cheesecloth; let stand in warm place until mixture is bubbly and sour-smelling, about 2 to 4 days. Transfer to a 2 quart or larger plastic or glass container with tightfitting lid. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt, stirring until combined. Add sourdough starter****, molasses, and warm water, stirring until combined. The dough will feel wet and sticky rather than dry. Knead the wet dough for a minute or two. This part will be messy. Place dough into a greased 9×5 inch bread pan. Cover with a damp dish cloth with a dry towel over it and let the bread rise for 12-24 hours (depending on temperature). Once it has risen, the dough should be light and fluffy and form an indentation when you press your finger into it. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap on it.

Albemarle Tradewinds October 2016

To replenish starter just take out of refrigerator and let it reach room temperature. Whatever you remove from the starter just replace. Example - if you remove one cup of starter just add one cup of flour and water mixed (to keep starter alive) and let sit for a day or two before adding back to fridge. If you don’t bake bread for a while you need to feed the starter about once per week by removing a cup of starter and replacing it (just like replenishing it) to keep starter alive.

Fall Surf Fishing

by Jake Worthington

Fall is now in the air and this is when the surf fishing on Hatteras Island

of their life on light tackle.

really heats up. Fall is a great time to visit Hatteras Island because there are fewer people, the weather is usually cooler, and most of the beaches are open for driving. This the time the Red Drum are making their appearance and making countless fishermen happier than a kid on Christmas morning. There is no prettier sight than the Point at Buxton filled with Drum fishermen casting and catching drum. If you have never witnessed these sportsmen casting their lines, making line adjustments, keeping their rigs from becoming tangled, hooking and catching a prized Red Drum, and then releasing the Drum to catch again. You need to come witness this fishing wonder firsthand and watch the seasoned fisherman catch fish like a well oiled machine.

If you are considering heading to Hatteras Island and surf fishing, here are some things that you will need to know in advance. To drive on the beach, you will need an ORV Permit issued by the National Park Service. These permits are available from the NPS Office or you can go online and purchase one. While on the beach, you will need the following required equipment for off road driving: a shovel, a jack, a jack board, and a low pressure tire gauge. Some other items such as a tow strap, fire extinguisher, and a flashlight are also recommended. Also make sure you have a current NC Fishing license which can be purchased online on the NCWRC website.

If this type of fishing intimidates you, don’t worry. You can travel north or south of The Point and still be in the fish. Generally during the fall, the ocean is filled with hungry Speckled Trout, Puppy Drum, Bluefish, Sea Mullet, Spot, Croaker and maybe an occasional False Albacore. Most of these fish can be caught on bottom rigs baited with cut bait. You can also hook them casting jigs, spoons, and plugs. Of course always be on the lookout for the big Red Drum because many an angler targeting smaller fish on bottom rigs has hooked Red Drum and had the fight

When you are packing your 4x4 truck or SUV, make sure you have everything that you will need so you won’t have to leave the beach. Making a checklist will ensure this. Before you hit the beach, make sure you stop at one of the local tackle shops and load up on fresh bait, lead weights, lures, line or anything else you may need. These tackle shops are not only filled with the correct equipment you will need, they also have information that they will share if you ask. The most important thing to remember before you hit the sand--air those tires down!!

Your Storefront is your Customers first Impression by Mike Hindenach

We all know that your storefront gives your business’s first

impression. Location, appearance, and maintenance all play an important part in making that impression. Recently I spoke with a small group of local consumers and asked them how long it took for them to make a decision about entering a store. “Two seconds.” was the first decisive answer; other answers ranged from two to seven seconds to decide if they would even enter a store.

Windsor Picture Tour

152.11 GRASS AND WEEDS TO BE KEPT OFF STREETS, SIDEWALKS. (A) No occupant or owner of property shall permit grass or weeds to grow over any brick, concrete, tar, asphalt, stone or other hard-surface sidewalk or street. (B) Each occupant or owner shall keep the grass plot adjacent to such sidewalk or street neatly mowed.

The group went on to say that a storefront and parking area needed to be clean and well maintained or they wouldn’t even bother to enter. They talked in detail about the importance of sidewalk maintenance and lighting. For them, the outside of the business absolutely represented what they expected to find on the inside of the business.

152.12 CLEANING SIDEWALKS.

This discussion led me to take a look at how long it takes for us to form an impression. According to a study done by Princeton University psychologist Alex Todorov and co-author Janine Willis, we decide about a person’s trustworthiness within a tenth of a second. Todorov found that we intuitively respond before our rational minds can influence the reaction. Something to think about that when considering who the first person your customer is going to see when they walk through your doors.

(B) The owner of every lot abutting any sidewalk which is paved shall remove all snow, ice or similar accumulation from such sidewalk by 10:00 a.m. of each day unless it is continuing to snow, hail or sleet at the time, in which case same must be removed immediately upon completion of such weather condition.

One of the easiest and most impactful enhancements a business can make is creating and maintain their curb appeal. A simple daily routine such as maintaining sidewalks can lead to greater customer interest. Just that one difference has been shown by industry experts to attract attention and create additional foot traffic. The Elizabeth City sidewalk maintenance ordinances can serve as an easy checklist:

facebook.com/AlbemarleTradingPost

(A) The owner or occupant of any store, office or other place of business on the first floor abutting the street shall keep the sidewalk in front of his or her place of business clean.

While my short discussions with local consumers certainly are not scientific, they do reflect the findings of numerous articles regarding customer attraction and retention. It may make you wonder about how many customers may pass you by if your storefront was not perceived as inviting and how many new customers you will attract with a few simple improvements.

Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity is currently accepting applications for families interested in applying to purchase a Habitat for Humanity home in Elizabeth City and Camden County. The affiliate had hoped to build a house in 2016 but didn’t couldn’t find a qualified applicant. “We had a number of applicants who could demonstrate a need but they didn’t have the necessary credit score or income,” said Fran Sutton, president of Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity. “When we choose a family, we want to make sure they will be successful home buyers.” Although ECHFH does not charge interest on the loans and sells the houses at cost, qualified applicants must be able to pay a monthly mortgage of $600, which includes taxes and insurance. This payment must not exceed 30% of the family’s gross monthly income. In addition to meeting income requirements, applicants must live in either Pasquotank or Camden County, have a need for the house (such as high rent or utility bills, poor insulation, unsafe or unsanitary conditions), and must be willing to partner with ECHFH by contributing 500 hours of “sweat equity.” Sweat equity hours can be earned by attending new homeowner meetings to learn how to budget, working in the local Sale Store, working on the construction of their own home and working on other homes being built in the area. After applications are received and reviewed, a member of the Family Selection Committee arranges a home visit to access the family’s need. Applicants must also meet with a mortgage broker to examine

their credit history. After this information has been gathered, the Family Selection Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning qualified applicants. “It is important that people who wish to apply to realize that these houses are not given away,” Sutton explained. “There are qualifications for these no-interest mortgages just as there would be for conventional mortgages.” Habitat houses typically have 1100-1200 sq. ft. They are simple houses built to get families into a decent affordable house of their own. ECHFH will be partnering with the City of Elizabeth City to make the Elizabeth City home as energy efficient as possible. Applications are available at Taylor Mueller Realty, 440 S. Hughes Blvd. or at the ECHFH Sale Store, 306 Mill St. Applicants must submit the completed application, credit report, proof of income and proof of employment. For further information, contact Fran Sutton, 252-338-8360, or Jane Elfring, 252-384-0115.

IT’S TUNALICIOUS! --- And It’s The Only Way I’ll Have it. Tuna rates at the top of my meat list.

By Rosie Hawthorne

I love it.

rosiehawthorne@gmail.com

Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com

Our meal today is rare tuna strips with a lemon butter sauce along with potato spirals, curly scallions, and a side of sautĂŠed mushrooms and green beans.

For the curly scallions:

Seared Tuna

Trim bulbs (white part) from green onions, stick in a glass of water, set in a sunny window, and let grow into lovely scallions.

Serves 2 2 tuna filets, 1-inch thick Freshly ground pepper Peanut oil 2 TB unsalted butter

Trim remaining stems (green part) to 4-inch lengths. Using sharp knife, slice each section of green stems vertically into tiny strips peeling apart with fingers. Fill bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Add green onion strips. Refrigerate until onions curl, about 1 hour; drain.

Coat tuna heavily in pepper. Heat iron skillet over medium high heat with a thin coating of peanut oil. Add butter. I use the oil to raise the smoke temperature and I use the butter for the flavor. When butter is foamy, put in filets. Cook 2 minutes first side and 1 ½ minutes second side for rare.

For the potato spirals: I don’t bother peeling my potatoes. I like the peel. If you don’t, go ahead and peel. I have an inexpensive spiralizer cutting gadget that I used to make the curly fries. After cutting, I soaked the potatoes in a bowl of ice water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Place on paper towels in a single layer and pat with towels. Leave out for about 15 minutes to air dry. Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer to 350° and fry the spirals until golden brown. Always fry in batches. Never overcrowd the frying pan; it lowers the temperature of the oil and you’ll get greasy instead of crisp. Drain on a rack, not paper towels.

Sauce 4 TB unsalted butter Juice of one lemon 1 TB chopped green olives 1 tsp chopped green peppercorns 1 tsp capers Melt butter. Add rest of ingredients. Heat through. Spoon over tuna.

Community News Feds: Red wolf recovery area will be limited to Dare mainland The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a plan Mon-

day to eventually allow endangered red wolves to roam freely only on federal land in Dare County by the end of 2017. The agency said in a news release it will begin implementing a series of actions based on scientific information gathered over the past 21 months. How they plan to reduce the area that the estimated 45 red wolves in the wild currently roam in Dare, Hyde, Tyrrell, Washington and Beaufort Counties was not made clear in the announcement. Plans are to limit the population in the wild to the Dare County Bombing Range and Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, where the agency said stable packs exist on federal land. They also plan to find other locations in North Carolina or the southeastern U.S. where red wolves historically roamed until they were listed as extinct in the wild in 1980. Red wolves bred in captivity were released into Alligator National Wildlife Refuge starting in 1987. “This proposed action will change the scope of and goals for the experimental population and is expected to be completed by December 2017,” the agency said, and it will undergo an environmental review and a public comment period. The agency said it will next determine where potential new sites exist for additional experimental wild populations by October 2017, and ensure they will comply with environmental rules and include public engagement. A full evaluation of the program was undertaken two years ago after evidence surfaced that dozens of captive-bred wolves were released mistakenly on private lands in parts of the five

counties and interbreeding with coyotes became rampant. Some 200 red wolves are currently held in captive breeding facilities across the United States, including one at the refuge. While listed as an endangered species, the wolves that have been released are classified as a “non-essential, experimental population” by the USFWS. State wildlife regulators called on the Fish and Wildlife Service last year to end the reintroduction of the red wolf in the region and to remove all wolves that were released on private lands. The release program was suspended in June 2015, while existing wolves were allowed to continue roaming over an area covering 1.7 million acres of Dare, Hyde, Tyrrell, Washington and Beaufort counties. Coyote hunting was restricted in that area after a lawsuit by environmental groups in reaction to at least eight incidents in which red wolves were shot and not reported, which violated state and federal regulations. Monday’s announcement comes after a two-year, two-step evaluation of the entire red wolf recovery program, according to the federal agency. An initial report by the Wildlife Management Institute in June 2015 heavily criticized how the Fish and Wildlife Service interacted with residents and property owners surrounding the refuge in the five-county area after the program got under way. The same findings praised USFWS for the science behind the program and noted that it proved to some degree that the red wolf could survive in coastal eastern North Carolina. Earlier this month, the final results of the study were submitted to the agency. “The ser-

vice commissioned these numerous studies, and the updated research and information coming from a diverse group of experts was invaluable to us in making the management decisions we’re announcing today,” said Cindy Dohner, the service’s Southeast Regional Director. USFWS said it will move quickly to secure the captive population of about 200 red wolves because it is not sustainable in its current configuration, with just 29 breeding pairs in captivity. A five-year status review for the red wolf will also be completed by October 2017, examine whether the red wolf is a valid, listable entity and whether it is appropriately classified as an endangered species.

Petzing named Outer Banks Citizen of the Year

By Outer Banks Voice

Dr.

tion for Home & Hospice Care.

Petzing was hired by the hospital in 2011, when the hospital was looking for a full-time hospitalist to care for patients during their inpatient stay.

“Dr. Petzing is a deeply spiritual person and really understands the relationship dynamics in counseling patients and their families,” Sloan said. “She is a rare and exceptional human being with the ability to combine her intellect and medical expertise with her intuitive and accurate ‘read’ on patient and family care situations.”

“We were looking for a physician who would become part of the fabric of our community, really engage with patients and their families and help extend the reach of hospitalbased care through community outreach,” said Ronnie Sloan, Outer Banks Hospital president. “Our community was blessed that Dr. Petzing chose to join us in 2011, and the impact she has made in this community in just five years is truly amazing,” Sloan added. In addition to her responsibilities at the hospital, Petzing is involved in the community’s efforts to tackle prescription drug abuse. Soon after her arrival, three “Moms on a Mission” — Tess Judge, Betty Blanchard, and Cathy Overstreet — visited the hospital, asking local physicians to become involved in finding solutions to the problem. In response, Petzing formed the Physicians’ Council on Prescription Drug Abuse, and more than 60 local physicians signed a pledge to become part of the solution. She is chair of the Dare Coalition Against Substance Abuse and also a member of the county’s substance abuse and prevention and education task force. Petzing is also involved in the county’s hospice and palliative care services. After becoming board certified in hospice and palliative care, Petzing has served as the medical director for Dare Home Health and Hospice, and was recognized as the Physician of the Year by the North Carolina Associa-

More recently, Petzing has collaborated with the Healthy Carolinians of the Outer Banks Dementia Task Force. Petzing, along with her hospital colleagues, have been instrumental in helping The Outer Banks Hospital become a “Dementia Friendly Hospital” where patients and their families receive specialized care. In addition, she developed a new service for cancer patients known as the Symptom Management Clinic. Now available two Fridays per month, cancer patients can see Petzing, a nurse navigator, social worker or dietician for help in managing symptoms like nausea, dehydration, pain, wounds and distress. “The days of the family doctor that came to your home and knew everyone in town are long gone; however the need for a compassionate and engaged medical community remains,” Sloan said. “Every community needs a Dr. Petzing and we are so fortunate to have her. “

Petzing received her medical training at The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. She has earned numerous awards, including the Merck Award for Excellence in Family and Community Medicine, the American Society of Clinical Pathologists’ Award and the Gloria Arndt Award. She is a member of the American Medical Association and several other professional organizations.

Top Stories This Month Feds propose new limits on cobia to avoid closing fishery

Follow OBX News as it happens http://outerbanksvoice.com

By Sam Walker

Regulators have agreed to recommend changes to cobia limits in federal waters for next year that may prevent another near-debacle like this past summer in management of the popular fish.

The recreational fishery for Atlantic cobia in federal waters closed on June 20 during the peak cobia season off the Outer Banks and Virginia, where a majority of landings occur during the summer.

If approved by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, the new regulations from the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council developed at their meeting last week in Myrtle Beach would be implemented in 2017 in waters beyond three miles from shore from Georgia to New York.

That affected private anglers and charter captains targeting the species offshore, and rankled politicians at the state and federal levels.

According to a news release from SAFMC, the changes are designed to help extend the season for recreational and commercial fishermen and help ensure stable fishing opportunities for the migratory stock.

North Carolina’s Marine Fisheries Commission decided to delay a full closure in state waters until Sept. 30 this year, and put in place a labyrinth of policies for the species. They increased the recreational minimum for cobia in state waters to 37 inches, fork length.

Advocates for anglers and charter captains expressed satisfaction with the compromise but cautioned that there may be other restrictions adopted by individual states.

And a series of complicated rules were added that included how the fish are caught, determining how many can be kept and what day fisherman can keep them.

“The regulations for cobia in federal waters that were passed 7-to-6 last week at the SAFMC meeting were a direct result of the fishing community’s engagement in fisheries management,” said Southern Shores resident Billy Gorham, who owns Bowed Up Lures.

Federal regulators said the early closure for 2016 was required because the recreational annual catch limit had been exceeded in 2015. Current measures call for a shortened season the subsequent year.

The SAFMC recommended that the recreational bag limit be cut to one fish per person, per day, with a vessel limit of six, and the recreational minimum size limit increased to 36 inches measured from the tip of the mouth to where the tail begins to split, known as the fork length. A commercial trip limit of two fish per person per day, with no more than six fish per vessel per day, whichever is more restrictive, would also be established. “We’ve worked diligently, looking at various combinations of changes to bag limits, vessel limits and size limits, to help maximize fishing opportunities and to have new regulations in place in time for next year’s season,” said SAFMC Chairperson Michelle Duval, a staff member with the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries representing the state on a variety of management councils at the federal level.

Public hearings were held in recent months up and down the southeast coast. Proponents of keeping the fishery opened questioned the science behind the rules and laid out the economic fallout. “Overall, this effort started over six month ago, took attending over two dozen meetings from Cocoa Beach to Washington D.C., dozens of e-mails, hours of research, which included over 4,000 pages of documents,” Gorham said. “It is vital to give credit to the local community, the charter fleet from Hatteras, Oregon Inlet, Pirates Cove, Wanchese, pier anglers in North Carolina and recreational and for-hire captains in Virginia.” Gorham also said donations by local fishing legend Larry Gary were key in allowing a number of supporters to make it to the meetings up and down the coast.

Gorham said Virginia’s Marine Resources Commission played a big role in uniting with North Carolina fishermen on the plan, and that it also allows the states to set limits more in line with their peak seasons.

“As many fish has he has landed, he could have called it quits, but he didn’t and has stepped up to ensure this generation and the next can have fair and equal access to the resource,” Gorham said.

“A major part in raising the minimum length to 36 inches was to give cobia another year to spawn,” Gorham said. “This is important because of what we have felt was a flawed stock assessment that claims cobia may become over fished. Adding an additional year should greatly help.”

Duval said a new cobia subpanel to the council’s Mackerel Cobia Advisory Panel will allow more input and expertise from fishermen on cobia management, Duval added.

28

The council is also working with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to develop a complementary plan

Albemarle Tradewinds October 2016

to allow additional management flexibility, according to the news release. Gorham said all the effort put into protecting the cobia fishery was about more than just being able to catch the fish best known for its strong fight and tasty meat. “Many people travel here just to cobia fish in early spring via boat and mid- to late summer from the piers,” Gorham said. “I’ve spent more time on this than my master’s degree, and the biggest thank you I get is seeing younger generations catching their first cobia after the June 20th closure date. “The fight is not over, and we hope those who did not get as involved see how being part of the process, even if it is just assisting in travel costs, benefits all.”

Top Stories This Month Long-studied offshore wind farm plan presented at Jennette’s Leasing tracts for offshore wind farms was the topic of a gathering at Jennette’s Pier

Wednesday night as federal officials move forward to find companies interested in pursuing technology in it early stages in U.S. coastal waters. A small audience heard officials from the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management outline the steps toward awarding leases in an area about 24 miles off of Kitty Hawk where massive turbines would be built to generate electricity. Summaries of studies examining how the farms could affect marine life, birds and shipping traffic were among the topics covered in poster boards set up around the room. A 60-day period for commenting on the leasing ends Oct. 17, with the next step determining if there is competition for the 21.5 blocks covering 122,405 acres along the Continental Shelf. If no more than one company is interested, the federal government can negotiate one-on-one rather than conduct an auction, according to BOEM. The federal government announced in August that it was offering the leases. BOEM released an Environmental Assessment on Sept. 17, 2015, concluding that issuing commercial wind leases would not significantly affect the environment. A timetable leading up to the lease auction formalizes plans that have been under study for several years by the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. The two agencies worked with a task force that included state entities to designate the Kitty Hawk Wind Energy area. Beginning about 24 miles offshore, the area extends generally about 25 miles to the southeast. The area was moved farther offshore at the urging of the Town of Kitty Hawk. BOEM has identified companies that qualify for bidding, and they will be required to tell the federal government if they are still interested. Other companies can submit their qualifications and ask to be included. After the leases are awarded, more study and planning will be required if a company wants to move ahead with construction. While offshore wind farms are common overseas, the U.S. is still in the early stages of developing them. So far, the BOE has awarded 11 commercial wind leases off the New England and Mid-Atlantic coasts, generating about $16 million on more than a million acres in federal waters.

Top Stories This Month KDH board gives the go ahead for supermarket next to Lowe’s

meeting last month or at last night’s Board of Commissioners meeting when the plan was on the agenda. The site plan did not require any changes to the zoning ordinance.

The Kill Devil Hills Board of Commissioners had only a few questions Monday before voting unanimously to approve a site plan for the supermarket. Which chain plans to occupy the store is still being kept under wraps, but the look and some of the features suggest Publix, which is the largest grocer in Florida and is expanding into North Carolina.

Cobb did not reveal who was behind the KDH project at the Planning Board meeting, and it didn’t come up before the commissioners Monday. “I wish I could go out and say who the tenant is right now,” he said last month. “Obviously, we’re in lease negotiations right now, and they told me not to reveal the name of who that grocery store tenant is.” When asked by a member of the Planning Board if parking spaces could be head-on instead of angled at 45 degrees, Cobb said the company that hired him would not want to make that concession.

GHK Developers, which is leading the KDH project, is building a Publix the same size in Wilmington. Gordon Cobb of GHK said the chain he represents hopes to close on the 5 acres at the corner of U.S. 158 and West 1st Street by December or January and start construction right away. Unlike the turbulent runup to Lowe’s being built in 2012, plans for the supermarket so far have met no public opposition. No one spoke at the Planning Board

With

a full moon overhead, the surf along portions of the Outer Banks the last few nights has been aglow not only with the lunar illumination but the electric blue of what are most commonly known as dinoflagellates. “They are an algal population that occurs south of here,” said Nancy White, director of the UNC Coastal Studies Institute in Skyco. White said they are more common along parts of Florida and Puerto Rico, and the recent southeasterly flow of wind and waves has pushed them up to our end of the North Carolina coast. They were most noticeable Saturday and Sunday nights, but it’s not known how long they will be around. “They may stay until they die out or a wind shift could take them home,” White said.

Arts & Entertainment Kreplin named Silver Medalist in photographic competition

By Outer Banks Voice

Photographic artist Gordon Kreplin of Kill Devil Hills was named a Silver Medalist

during Professional Photographers of America’s 2016 International Photographic Competition. A panel of 46 jurors from across the United States selected top photographs from nearly 5,700 submitted at Gwinnett Technical College, in Lawrenceville, Ga.

Judged against a standard of excellence, more than 2,420 images were selected for the General Collection and 1,007 were selected for the Loan Collection, considered the best of the best. Kreplin’s image, “Resolute,” was one of the 1,007 images selected for the Loan Collection, earning him the title of Silver Medalist. “Resolute,” captured at dawn on the beach in Kill Devil Hills, is from his “Morning Meditations” series from summer 2015. Kreplin’s work will be on display at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, from Jan. 8-10. This International Photographic Exhibit is held in conjunction with imaging USA, an annual convention and expo for professional photographers.

Filmmaker challenges women’s surfing stereotypes Dayla Soul has spent most of her life living by the coast and looking for the next big swell. But what she found while surfing Ocean Beach, Calif. for the past two decades was that the true story of women’s surfing needed to be told. She tells that story in “It Ain’t Pretty,” which will air on the big screen at the Dare County Arts Council in downtown Manteo Friday. The documentary is a featured film in this year’s Surfalorus Film Festival, which kicked off Thursday. Not long after Soul began filming the documentary on the women who surf the icy breaks of Ocean Beach and Mavericks, she soon realized she had an opportunity to change the way people are talking about women out in the line up. So as Soul interviews women surfers who go up against the biggest waves on the planet, her film is going up against some longstanding stereotypes about women’s surfing. Featuring big wave surfer Bianca Valenti, Soul describes the documentary as a film “about the challenges and triumphs of female big wave surfers fighting sexism in the water, in competition, in the media and in the surf industry.” Like Soul, the female surfers she interviews are standing up against the status quo in and out of the water. “There’s been a turning point in surf history and how we see ourselves in it,” surfer Easkey Britton says in the film, which first aired in February.

facebook.com/AlbemarleTradingPost

Gordon Kreplin’s “Resolute.” By Michelle Wagner

“The way the media portrays female surfers is really skewed,” says big wave surfer Mika Kosaka in the film. She along with other surfers interviewed talk about what it’s like to be a minority in the surfing industry. “We need to break down the whole idea of sexualizing everything,” surfer Rebecca Sandidge says in the film. “There’s nothing sexual about surfing.” Since it first aired, “It Ain’t Pretty” has been featured at 10 film festivals, including the Maui Film Festival, New York City’s Women’s Surf Film Festival and the Honolulu Surf Film Festival.

“Told through the lens of surfing, this film is about creating new role models based on ability and determination. It’s not just about the waves,” says Soul. “This film empowers a new generation of girls to live their dreams and overcome the challenges they face along the way.” It Ain’t Pretty will begin at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Dare County Arts Council in downtown Manteo. The Surfalorus Collector’s Classic Longboard Exhibit reception will begin at 6 p.m. with film screenings to follow. For more information, call the Dare County Arts Council at (252) 473-5558 or visit darearts.org.

“I was originally just going to put it to music and show it in a local theater, but it turned into a bigger story for the rest of the world,” says Soul, a native of Hanalei, Hawaii who owns a tile installation company in San Francisco “This film is meant to empower women. Sexism is still in the world, and my film shows it through the eyes of surfers. We as women need to step out of the box that the media puts us in that we need to look a certain way. That’s inaccurate.” Soul began filming in March of 2013 and soon after launched a Kickstarter campaign that raised $36,000 for equipment. “Things spiraled and doors opened,” said Soul, who uses aerial photography, drones, water photography and other media to bring big wave surfing to viewers.

Frisco Native American Museum

“Home of the Hickdog”

MUSEUM DISPLAYS GRAY GHOST

When might a museum knowingly display a “fake” artifact? When it has educational or artistic value, of course. And that’s what the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center has done with two very beautiful “gray ghosts” created after World War II by Hall of Fame flint knapper, Brian Reinhardt. For almost fifty years, Mr. Reinhardt created and marketed knapped flint points to wholesalers. He never presented them as authentic artifacts and in fact, sold them only in gross lots (144 items). His work was originally hand pressure flaked, but he eventually developed a device that enabled him to mass produce the points. There is some evidence that Reinhardt took measures to distinguish him creations from ancient artifacts: his points are much flatter than the typical knapped artifact, and you can sometimes see the original saw marks from cutting the stone slabs.

The term “ghost” has been used to describe artifacts with unknown provenience (origin). Although Reinhardt was not the only maker of modern points, the quantity and quality of his work eventually made him an urban legend, with his points labeled “Gray Ghosts” because of their predominately gray color. His work became highly collectible within its own rights. Over time, unscrupulous sellers mixed gray ghosts with authentic artifacts, and sadly, many people have purchased a Reinhard point believing it to be an ancient item of great value. The Reinhardt points at the museum are beautiful to see anytime, but October is a particularly fitting month to check out these ‘ghostly” items!

Northeast North Carolina Family History – Happy Family History Month!! By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com

I was debating between two research resources to cel-

ebrate October as Family History Month and decided why debate when I could do both!! The first is from a wonderfully useful site “Find A Grave.” Each year they hold a Community Meetup where anyone interested can go to a graveyard and take pictures of headstones to memorialize everyone in that cemetery and it happens to be October 7th – 9th this year.

Not sure if a cemetery near you has been completed? Here are three options: go to “Find A Grave Community Days” Facebook page and follow the links. Choose the link “Review a list of local cemeteries for your county”, which will let you see the state and county you are interested in. Same thing if you go to ancstry. me/2cFMCK (not a typo, there is no “e”) or www.ancestry.com/cs/find-a-grave-community-day. Once you locate your area, there will be three columns indicating “Photo Requests,” “Internments” and “Percent Photographed.” As an example, Camden County has 224 cemeteries listed and there is a photo request on Joys Creek Road in South Mills for the tombstone of William Abbott (1831-1881). The site gives specific directions and tons of cemeteries needing to be photographed. Local counties: Currituck- 265 cemeteries; Dare County - 263; Perquimans – 250 and Pasquotank – 176. Rural counties have many very small cemeteries, while larger communities show fewer but larger cemeteries. In Virginia, Chesapeake lists 128 cemetery sites, Norfolk – 46, Portsmouth – 32 and Virginia Beach – 191. Find A Grave is a free website and some industrious souls even add obituary information which I have solved more than one mystery with. Missed the date? I doubt anyone will mind if you add photos later! Be warned that the spellings are often a little interesting… My second research resource is the 1900 US Federal census, probably the favorite of most researchers for a variety of reasons. To quote from “The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy,” p. 117, “The 1900 census is the only available census that provides columns for including the exact month and year of every person enumerated… The 1900 census is also the only census to include space to record the number of years couples were married, the number of children born to the mother and how many were still living. This census was also the first to indicate how long the immigrant had been in the country and whether naturalized…”

Windsor Picture Tour

Censuses were taken in many countries. In the United States, they began in 1790 and have been taken every ten years since. The earliest only gave the name of the head of household and how many males and females of varying ages lived in that household. Beginning in 1850 questions regarding age, sex, color, occupation and birthplace (usually state) were added. The question of relationship of others listed in the household to the head of the household was added in 1880 as well as street addresses for cities. (Care needs to be taken in that children listed may be the children of the head of household but not the current wife.) Important to all researchers is the fact that the 1890 census burned in a fire in the Commerce Department in 1921. There are 6,160 names from 11 states that survived, including some from Gaston and Cleveland counties in North Carolina. The reason this becomes very important for researchers is a child born after the 1880 census could easily have died, been married or moved out of their parents’ home by the 1900 census. Checking how many children a mother has had between 1880 and 1900 and how many are still living helps establish if this is a good possibility. What is the most recent census you have access to? Well that would be 1940. Don’t they take them every ten years? Well yes, the government does, but to protect the privacy of living people, the government has a 72 year restriction on that information. The 1950 census will become available to researchers in 2022. And for those researching slave ancestry, slave indexes were taken in 1850 and 1860 and included the name of the slave owner, and the age and sex of the slave. It is very rare for an enumerator to include the names of the slaves, although one Camden County official did so for the 1860 slave census. Is everyone that lived in the United States during a given census period listed you may ask? Simple answer – no. To again quote “The Source” p. 108, “Whether families or individuals were not counted because they lived in remote areas or because they would not tolerate an enumerator’s personal questions, millions have been missed…”

Vote for Smart Investment Moves

Submitted by Chuck O’Keefe

The presidential election is little more than a month away. Like all elec-

tions, this one has generated considerable interest, and, as a citizen, you may well be following it closely. But as an investor, how much should you be concerned about the outcome? Probably not as much as you might think. Historically, the financial markets have done well – and done poorly – under both Democratic and Republican administrations. Also, many factors affecting investment performance have little or nothing to do with the occupant of the White House. Consequently, no one can claim, with any certainty, that one candidate is going to be “better for the markets� than another one. Still, this isn’t to say that any given presidential administration will have no effect at all on investors. For example, a president could propose changes to the laws governing investments, and if Congress passes those laws, investors could be affected. But in looking at the broader picture, there’s not much evidence that a particular president is going to affect the overall return of your investment portfolio. As mentioned above, many factors – corporate earnings, interest rates, foreign affairs, even natural disasters – can and will influence the financial markets. But in evaluating a president’s potential effect on your investments, you also need to consider something else: Our political system does not readily accommodate radical restructuring of any kind. So it’s difficult for any president to implement huge policy shifts – and that’s actually good for the financial markets, which, by their nature, dislike uncertainty, chaos and big changes.

The bottom line? From your viewpoint as an investor, don’t worry too much about what happens in November. Instead, follow these investment strategies: Stay invested. If you stop investing when the market is down in an effort to cut your losses, you may miss the opportunity to participate in the next rally – and the early stages of a rally are typically when the biggest gains occur. Diversify. By spreading your dollars among an array of investments, such as stocks, bonds and other investments, you can help reduce the possibility of your portfolio taking a big hit if a market downturn primarily affected just one type of financial asset. Keep in mind though, that diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses. Stay within your risk tolerance. Investing always involves risk, but you’ll probably be more successful (and less stressed out) if you don’t stray beyond your individual risk tolerance. At the same time, if you invest too conservatively, you might not achieve the growth potential you need to reach your goals. So you will need to strike an appropriate balance. Forget about chasing “hot� stocks. Many so-called “experts� encourage people to invest in today’s “hot� stocks. But by the time you hear about them, these stocks – if they were ever “hot� to begin with – have probably already cooled off. More importantly, they might not have been suitable for your needs, anyway. In any case, there’s really no “short cut� to investment success.

Museum Anniversary By: Wanda Lassiter, Curator, Museum of the Albemarle wanda.lassiter@ncdcr.gov

The Museum of the Albemarle (MOA) will celebrate its 50th an-

niversary in May 2017. In last month’s issue we discussed life at the museum in the 1990s. This issue of Albemarle Tradewinds will focus on the museum in the 21st century. MOA moved from its location on US Highway 17 South to the large green building on Water Street in Elizabeth City in 2005. Artifacts that were once held all across Elizabeth City in various storage areas were moved to the new 7,780 square foot collections storage area. On May 1, 2006 the Museum hosted a Grand Ribbon Cutting Ceremony with state and local dignitaries along with staff and the public. For half a century, MOA has presented over 170 exhibits reflecting on topics ranging from Native American life, paper dolls, baseball, the Civil War, moonshine, and Louis Comfort Tiffany. Each exhibit giving visitors a look into life in the Albemarle region and beyond. Volunteers and Junior Docents have assisted to presenting programs such as A Night at the BOO-seum!, Civil War Living History Day, and Archaeology Day to our growing number of visitors. Directors Edward Merrell and William J. McCrea have steered the museum toward success in this century so far. In the past few years, MOA has offered travelling exhibits to institutions across the state including Grandfather Mountain, the Barker House in Edenton, the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education, Tryon Palace, and libraries in Manteo, Kill Devil Hills, Gates, Pasquotank, and Camden Counties. 295,213 guests

visited institutions where MOA placed a travelling exhibit for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. As the museum marks its half century, the dreams of those dedicated individuals 50 years ago continue to come to fruition as it continues to grow with new exhibits, programs, and lectures. Through new technology such as Audio Tours, the museum connects with visitors virtually. MOA will begin to explore more partnerships with other institutions both locally and abroad to bring new exhibits and research to our visitors in the upcoming years. Conservation will continue to be performed on our collections in the next half century. Over $40,000 was raised for artifact conservation in the past 6 years through generous donations from individuals and organizations and through fundraising by the Friends of the Museum of the Albemarle and programs such as Adopt an Artifact and North Carolina Preservation Consortium. Artifacts such as the circa 1863 Cox portrait, a circa 1872 Masonic Apron, World War I uniforms, an 1886 silk quilt, and numerous wedding dresses have all been saved for future generations by the conservation efforts. MOA has grown to be loved by our visitors and seen as an integral part of northeastern North Carolina’s tourist attractions. Recently, the World’s Largest Travel Site, Trip Advisor, ranked MOA as the #1 “Thing To Do in Elizabeth City.� In the future MOA will continue to make a cultural impact on the region. Join us in 2017 to celebrate MOA’s 50th birthday. Check out or social media sites for all the birthday events, programs, and exhibits.

His Word By : Ron Ben-Dov

I believe; Why you ask? He gave me His Word; I believe; Lord, I believe; I believe with heart and soul, You see; He gave me His Word;

Fall is upon us by Pastor Dan Bergey

I believe in the resurrection; I believe in everlasting life; I believe in salvation; For He gave me His Word.

Eventually the weather will catch up with the calendar and cooler temps will be arriving. The hours of daylight have already started to shorten and the ocean is kicking into full storm mode. High school football, as well as other sports are in full swing, and the area Marching bands are busy competing. Sometimes it’s hard to find a still moment in your life. Instead of searching for that moment, make time for it. Set aside a time every day to just relax. Push aside the daily busyness and stress and just meditate on God. Before you know it this will be routine and you won’t need to schedule it into your day. You’ll also find that you look forward to these moments and treasure the time you have with God. If you are looking for something different, fun and free to do with your family, on November 5th New Life of Currituck will be having a Drive-In theatre set up. We will be showing Zootpia at 6 PM. Concessions will be available for donations. For more information, contact the church office at 252-453-2773. Psalms 119:9-11 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Â

By the time you read this article the North Carolina bow-

hunting season will be in full swing. I hope you have had the opportunity to go out into the woods and fields to try and get your first deer of the year. Perhaps you have had the chance to see a nice buck or doe. Now is when all those arrows shot in practice, all those times learning your effective range, comes into play. There is the deer, 30 yards away.... it’s just beyond your range of comfort.... you think,,, “maybe I’ll just try to the shot....!â€? Do you? Do you take a shot at a range you aren’t positively sure you can make a humane kill ? That’s the question isn’t it? This situation all boils down to one concept ‌. ethics. Are you being true to your ethics as a bow hunter? For that matter... what are your ethics. What are your “standardsâ€? for hunting in the woods today. Even with all this marvelous technical equipment, whether it is with the most recent compound with all the bells and whistles or the most modern made recurve or longbow, every shot you make boils down to your code of ethics. Hunting with a bow requires a closeness to the game that must be achieved in order to be effective. Distance shooting is NOT the goal here. The goal is to get as close as possible when hunting an animal. In most bowhunting classes the instructors try to emphasize that the only shots a bowhunter should take is broadside or quartering away. Not shots facing directly away, directly

underneath, quartering towards, or straight-on shots. There are those that have taken these shots and been successful, many more have not. The anatomy of our big game has not changed that these shots are ethical much less should be attempted in a hunting situation. Why spend those countless hours in the field and on the practice range only to attempt a shot you are unsure of? Shot placement is what we practice for... the difference in taking a bad shot and making a bad shot is tremendous. Bad shots can and do happen to all of us at one time or another, an unseen twig, a jumpy alert target, or simply a case of nerves can send our arrow off it’s mark. These happen to even the most seasoned bowhunter. Our job, as ethical hunters, is to keep these shots to a minimum. When we begin to consciously take questionable shots ‌ we become trapped in the cycle that defines our success by the number of animals we take than by the code of ethics we hunt by. Think about your ethics and decisions when out in the field. Taking the shot, when and how, is only a first step. Before you release that arrow from your bow ‌ make sure it is an ethical shot, well within your capable and accurate range. Do your best to be safe in the woods this season. Check the regulations for your hunting area. Check your equipment. Good hunting and have fun!

Hello All!! This month at our rescue has been so busy that i ALMOST didn’t get in the article for this month also!! So far, since starting, we have now taken in a total of 130 barn yard animals and re-homed over 100 of them to date. This week will be getting in a new horse that was actually slaughter bound and we managed to pull her from the feed lot! We have also got in 2 new potbelly pigs this month (Thelma and Louise) and hopefully have already found them a home. We get potbelly pigs on a regular basis due to the lack of information given to buyers from the breeders. People seem to think there is such things as teacup pigs, they don’t exist , the average potbelly aka mini pig will grow to be on average 60-80 lbs (definitely NOT 25 lbs) and they should be eating 1/2c of pig feed twice a day. If they are staying teacup size they aren’t being fed as they should be and they are being starved. So PLEASE if you are considering a potbelly as a pet, google and research it completely prior to purchase or adopting!! We are trying our best still to function with no funding. We work on

The fanatics on both sides won and all the citizens lost After Lincoln baited the south in his 1861 inauguration speech to fire upon Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor South Carolina by sending Yankee reinforcements and ammunition along with extensive supplies to the fort after he agreed not to do so until after sectional discussions were finalized, but his not allowing anyone to meet with a Confederate emissary commission on peace terms after they had arrived in Washington and were kept waiting being put off day after day while he was making alternate plans for a double cross to not allow the congress to become aware of his plans to initiate His plans for Fort Sumter, which in his way was being untruthful and underhanded. In all this dishonest lying, the “not so honest abe� Lincoln started The War of Northern Aggression (also labeled as Lincoln’s war) all these were done without congressional approval. A statement was made that Grand Lodges of Freemasons throughout the country, and masons as individuals, were doing everything within their power to bring about peace. After the situation at Fort Sumter, again without congressional approval the “not so honest abe “ ordered the recruitment of seventy five thousand troops for Yankee units from southern states to fire on their brother southern states which caused the secession of the final southern states which brought the amount to thirteen. After Arkansas joined the Confederacy, and the Yankees entered there was relentless ransacking and total destruction of everything by them.

Three wise words that helped me. I hope they will help you, too.

By: Gary Edwards

I was sitting in the cool coffee shop in my hometown

drinking coffee and reading some impenetrable work by a long-dead European white male. It was a collection of essays by Arthur Schopenhauer, the German pessimist. It was a bitterly cold February day, temperature in the low teens, with a balmy Arctic breeze of about 35 mph (are we still in the South?). Trees along Main Street were bent to the concrete. Schopenhauer and sub-zero weather? What was I thinking? Oh, my nerves! You can easily see why I needed some amusement to lighten the heavy load on my fragile, frozen psyche. This arrived in the persons of four patrons leaving to brave the cold. As they strolled past they paused and made eye contact. This gave me the opening I needed. I looked up, smiled, and offered up a seemingly profound though completely off-the-wall question along the lines of “Do we apprehend the totality of existence through sensory perception, or is some of our knowledge obtained through the realm of pure reason and a priori propositions?� Something like that. They looked at me as if I was crazier than I already know myself to be. Three furrowed their brows and looked as if they were trying to form an answer. Maybe they were just delaying the walk outside. But one young man smiled pleasantly and simply said, “I don’t know.� Immediately, the aptness, the pragmatism of his response hit me. I thought, wouldn’t the world be a better place if most of us took this young man’s humble position? Think of it: How much pain, suffering and disillusionment could be eliminated if only we adopted this stance? Not only have the greatest minds in world history been baffled by the big philosophical questions, but a whole load of hurt has resulted from far less complex and less abstract issues. To take an obvious example, think of the political arena. Wouldn’t it be a game changer if the refreshing honesty and humility of my respondent carried over to politics? Imagine. Instead of the empty rhetoric of “Yes, my friends

Windsor Picture Tour

I can assure you that I will solve the problem of (Fill in the Blank) if you vote for me,â€? candidates could simply say, “I don’t know (a damn thing about abortion, crime, gun control, the federal deficit, steroid use in major league baseball, or why a loving God would allow the Fox Network or CNN to exist).â€? Instead of expensive, sleazy attack ads, the candidate could say, “All I really know is that I’m in this for the money and power that will accrue to me.â€? Although I am a largely apolitical creature, I would campaign like a madman on amphetamines for a candidate that humble and honest. A significant drop in noise pollution would also obtain from this simple corrective. The vehement, in-yourface rant that passes for modern political (and social) discourse would be replaced by a quiet shaking of heads and pleasant doubt. For example, whether confronted with 1) our liberal, soft-on-crime, tax-and-spend, left-leaning commie tormentors OR 2) our conservative, Neanderthal, fat-cat, billionaire-wannabe enemies, we could say simply, “I don’t know... I’m not exactly sure what to believe in these complex, confusing, troubling, ever-changing, fast-paced times.â€? The idea that we get the elected officials we deserve would be robbed of the emotionally-­laden blame game, if only “WE THE PEOPLEâ€? would rid our minds of the dogmatic shouting matches that proceed from such imagined certainty. (Hint: Turn off the blowhards of talk radio.) To wit, “I don’t know who to believe, so I’ll assume all the candidates are equally limited, fallible human beings and I’ll vote if and only if there appears a candidate honest enough to admit he --- or with Hillary on the horizon, she --- doesn’t really know everything about everything.â€? In conclusion, we offer the following suggestion:1960’s psychedelic guru Timothy Leary said, Just Say Know. 1980’s First Lady Nancy Reagan said, Just Say No. Why not emulate my humble respondent and simply say, I Don’t Know.

The Chowanoke Indians

By Duvonya Chavis

The Chowanoke War took place from 1675 to 1677.

This war ended a treaty that the Chowanoke Indians previously had with the English, one that had been in effect for nearly a decade. During the first year of the war, the Chowanokes had initial success. However, in 1676 it was fate that enabled the English settlers to regroup and gain strength as unexpected aide came to their side. They were supplied with firearms and ammunition and with this, were able to overcome and defeat the Chowanokes. After this defeat, the Chowanoke Indians were relegated to a designated area in Gates County along Bennett’s Creek. This became known as the Chowanoke Reservation and was the first reservation to be formed in North Carolina. It was also possibly the first reservation that had been established in America after the United States was formed. This reservation started out initially with 12 square miles but eventually dwindled to 400 acres. This downward spiral was unrelenting due to continued settler encroachment or mishap until finally the Chowanoke lost all of their land and no longer had their reservation. In spite of earlier pleas by the Chowanoke Chiefmen to the North

Carolina council to have their land surveyed in order to prevent continued encroachment, it was not until about 120 years later that a survey and deed was recorded which outlined the boundaries of the Chowanoke reservation. By then, it was too late for the Chowanoke Indians as most of the land had either been encroached upon and taken or had been negotiated to be sold. Duvonya, a Chowanoke Indian descendant, is President of Roanoke-Chowan Native American Association, a non-profit organization whose mission is to help American Indians in Northeastern NC and Southeastern VA. She currently sits on the council of the Chowanoke Tribe. In partnership with another Chowanoke descendant, she is currently developing Chowanoke Reservation for tribal descendants to gather and hold cultural events.

Medicines And Medical Procedures During The War Between The States (Continued from last month)

By: Dr. Dave and Gary Riggs

On September 17, 1862, the Battle of Sharpsburg (Antietum) left

2,108 Yankee soldiers dead and nearly 10,000 wounded. Doctors and strategists established caravans of so ambulances, each with a trained driver and two trained stretcher bearers, to ferry the injured to the field hospitals. They hired private wagons to carry medical supplies to circumvent enemy damage to railroad lines. They even introduced spring suspensions to ambulances and added a lock box under the driver’s seat to make it harder for soldiers to steal protein, bed sacks, and Morphine reserved for the wounded (Just as today the Yankees will steal anything that isn’t nailed down) and the rest is history. This system called for triage near the battlefield followed by ambulance care to a field hospital, a regular hospital, and then post operative care (if they survived infection and disease) this type of diagnosis is still in effect in military and modern society today. Specialization- the large number of wounded from Lincoln’s War created a need in medicine. That need was prosthetics and the new field of plastic surgery. After the war, these two fields had huge advances in usability and availability. What once was for soldiers was now used in the general population. Ambulances (much like sports) spread after the war of northern aggression when procedures were brought home, the use of ambulances did the same albeit with horses and wagons, stretcher bearers and ambulances have not changed much since. Embalming- while many soldiers were buried where they died, many others requested to be sent back home. To do so new methods for embalming involved to make sure the body could make the journey home. Standardization of supplies and training- by 1863, every doctor had to take an exam, do an apprenticeship, and receive a standard set of supplies including a kit that included all the tools needed to amputate and perform a variety of tasks. In addition, each doctor received barrels (kegs) for storing water for sanitary purposes. Knowledge- by doing a large number of surgeries, doctors gained a lot of experience not only in dealing with war wounds, but also in their knowledge about the human body mainly the vertebrae, spine, and head.

Part 6 Next Month

The role of women- while men were needed in battle, women filled the need for bodies in the hospitals. It is estimated that 3200 women served as nurses. They risked their lives leaving home to work in the cesspools of infection. They lived separately from the soldiers and only made twelve dollars a month at the most, and in some areas volunteering where money was scarce. While many women and nurses today their service in the war began their integration into the work force over the next one hundred years. But in medicine, women nurses soon became commonplace. The nation’s veterans hospitals of today are experiencing a surge of patients returning home form military service in need of prosthetics or orthotics. Although the magnitude of their injuries is heartbreaking, it is also inspiring to see how far modern prosthetics technology has come in its ability to restore mobility, dignity, and hope. Many of the prosthetic technologies helping today’s combat veterans owe their existence to innovations and programs dating back to this tumultuous period of the 1860’s history, although designers were producing artificial body parts as early as the 1500’s, the field did not advance significantly until the spike in demand in the 1860’s. the key drivers of progress: deadlier bullets and government money. Then as now, advances in weaponry fueled advances in medical technology. The introduction of the mini ball, one of the first practical rifle bullets, was a trans formative event in the history of prosthetics. The mini ball was made of a soft lead with a hollow base that expanded when fired. Upon impact, the bullet caused large, irregular and slow healing wounds. Most physicians of the era were woefully inexperienced in surgery and were no match for the devastating injuries that these powerful new weapons inflicted. With some 70% of uncivil war wounds affecting the limbs, amputation quickly became the treatment of choice in battle field surgery. A primary amputation was easier, faster and with a mortality rate of only 28%- safer than other treatment options. More than 30,000 Yankee soldiers and 40,000 Confederate soldiers lost limbs between 1861-1865.

Preparing for the storm - Extra Stuff..... Last month, I touched on some experiences we had losing electricity during a storm. This month, I would like to cover a few more things. We had a storm 20 or so years ago that taught me some lessons. We lived in an old house that was not sealed that well. Had leaky windows and doors, little insulation, you get the idea.

A couple hours into the storm the power went out. Living in the middle of nowhere it gets dark. I mean dark. This was before we had a UPS that kept the lights going. We knew where the flashlight was and had fresh batteries in it. But still fumbled around just trying to get across the house. Lesson learned. Keep flashlights in strategic places and easily reachable. Nowadays, the magnetic LED lights are the way to go. Stick them to something metallic and you are ready. A little bit of advice, though. Get some good flashlights and batteries. The dollar store stuff does not cut it.

By: Delbert Grady

Go on Ebay or Lowes and buy some decent lights and you will be happier. We like the multi-LED lights (6-8 LEDs) that use AA batteries. During a recent power outage, we turned one on and the amount of light that it puts out is amazing. It kept running over 6 hours, still going strong. The other thing that we noticed is that it got cold - real fast. We had a heat pump and when it quit, it became cold within a few minutes. I broke out the portable propane heater and closed a couple doors. It kept things comfortable for the duration of the outage.

One word of caution. If you use a portable propane or Kerosene heater make sure you have adequate ventilation. Crack open a couple windows to let some air circulate. Propane heaters give off carbon monoxide, and Kerosene heaters consume oxygen. Either way, don’t die from asphyxiation. We have all heard stories about this happening, so don’t be a statistic.

Libertarian Party Statement on Charlotte Tragedy We join with the Scott family in this unimaginably difficult

time to remember their son Keith: a husband, a father of seven children, and a vital member of his community. While we wait for the painfully careful processes of investigation and adjudication, we mourn the fact his life has been needlessly cut short and that his family grieves. Our state is poorer for all that has happened over that last days. We also join in mourning with the family of Justin Carr, who was shot and killed during the unrest in Charlotte this week. Both of these deaths were senseless and unnecessary. We have let this go on for too long. Further inaction is unacceptable. North Carolina must become a home where its citizens are free to err, and free to begin again, fresh and hopeful. Legislators should repeal victimless crime laws so there are fewer warrants, indictments, and reasons to stop and frisk. North Carolinians should focus on supporting families and building communities instead of making new laws and adding more bodies to the jails. “For a moment, every public official and all civic leaders must put down their political ambition and forget their differences,” said Lon Cecil, Libertarian candidate for governor.

by Brian Irving, Chair, Libertarian Party of North Carolina

“We all must see that what ended these lives was the tension that North Carolina has cultivated between our people and our law enforcement agencies. “Keith Scott was among millions in daily fear for his life,” Cecil said. “He did not throw his life away. It was not a whim. It is not reasonable or excusable, because of some supposed momentary lack of judgement, that he is gone.” Olen Watson, Libertarian candidate for state House 38 added, “We must remember Keith Scott, Akiel Denkins, and those whose lives have been taken before them. We must consider these losses as a call to action, to be better than we have been.” - Frustration in African-American community is understandable. Protest is justified. But violence will not solve the problem. - Overwhelming majority of protests were peaceful. We should not let few bad actors divert us from the real problem – peace and justice. - Social media, and conflicting stories spread by supposed “eye-witnesses” who weren’t there make it more difficult to uncover the truth. - Justice system, even as flawed as it is, must be given time to work. - Real issue is police forces around the United States are

Lynn Bulman Realtor / Broker

becoming dangerously militarized in both tactics and equipment, owing largely to the War on Drugs and the federal government’s selling them military surplus. - Armored personnel carriers, rocket-propelled grenades, and tactical military equipment have no place on our city streets. - Libertarians call for immediately ending police militarization. - Police should be peacekeepers who protect the people of their communities and serve them with respect, not as an occupying army. - Use of military surplus equipment and supplies by domestic police departments should be strictly prohibited. - Libertarians also call for immediately ending the disastrously failed War on Drugs and for repeal of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which provides for dispensation of military equipment to federal and state law enforcement agencies for “counter-drug activities.” - This will take away the pretext for excessive use of force and leave police with just one crime-fighting mandate: go after only those who pose a real threat to others. - Crime will go way down, killings of the innocent will end, and Americans will be safe from injustice in their homes and in the streets. - MLK quote: Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

WHAT MIGHT I HAVE FORGOTTEN…………..? Many of those who have made or are in the process of mak-

ing preparation for what the future might bring, often wonder if there are other items which they should include in their planning. Following is a compilation of lists from around the country.
