coasting Online Auction Replaces Summer Party Due to concerns about Covid-19, the Beaufort Historical Association will forgo its popular summer party this year.

The silent auction, however, is ongoing at one.bidpal.net/ bhasummerparty2020/welcome with bids being accepted through 9pm on July 11.

Auction items include art, jewelry, accommodations, dinner for 12, furniture and more. Learn more about the online auction at beauforthistoricsite.org.

Kayak for Warrior Golf Tournament The Kayak for the Warrior Gala and Auctions scheduled for July 24 have reluctantly been cancelled. More than 150 people were expected to join this celebration at the Crystal Coast Country Club. Unfortunately, in looking ahead, restrictions on the number of people allowed at an indoor event will still be in place even in late July. All registrations will be refunded.

The signature event, the Kayak/Paddleboard Race, was scheduled for Saturday, July 11. Organizers thought they could go ahead with the original format, but parameters to even get this off the ground are daunting – no tents, tables or chairs, no medal ceremony, no lunch – coupled with having to have staggered start times for all paddlers. This has been a wonderful social event for 12 years, so the board came to the conclusion that if they couldn’t do

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2020

it the right way, they shouldn’t do it this year.

Because the first two events had to be cancelled, the team is now throwing all of our efforts to the 1st Kayak for the Warriors Golf Tournament to be held at the Crystal Coast Country Club on Friday, July 31. Register online at www.kayakforthewarriors.org, click on Events then choose Golf Tournament.

Cost is $75, which includes the 18-hole best ball, cart, goody bag, silent auction and lunch. Registration deadline is July 17.

Forms may also be picked up the country club golf shop or town hall.

There are plenty of opportunities to support Kayak for the Warriors by purchasing a hole for $100. Sponsors will have their name displayed on a hole of their choice. Send sponsorship checks to Kathy Blowers, 201 Oakleaf Drive, Pine Knoll Shores, NC 28512. Please write “hole” in the reference line and hole number if you have a preference, This has been a difficult time for everyone, including our wounded warriors and the parent nonprofit, Hope For The Warriors.

The local organizers would like to be able to continue giving H4TW proceeds that help them in their mission (www.hopeforethewarriors. org). If so inclined, donations to Kayak for the Warriors or a donation to the Kayak golf tournament will still have complete this mission.

For additional information, visit the website or email coordinator@k4tw.org.

from the editor's desk

Affection in the Time of Corona A friend said to me over the weekend – hiding in her garage from the rain and her children so she could enjoy a phone conversation – that more than anything she would just like to hug her friends. It was said in humor, in exasperation after being followed around the house by her daughters, but the quote also touched my heart a little. It is the one thing we are all supposed to shun during this odd time – human contact.

Sure, we have all seen the silly elbow bumps and foot taps and a variety of options that are supposed to take the place of a handshake. But let’s face it, nothing really replaces hugging a friend or neighbor or church member. The South, in general, is a hugging society. We hug and kiss our friends and family when we greet them, when we leave them and any time in between when the urge arises. We are innately a touchy-feely people. And we’ve missed that these past few months.

Study after study shows that human contact is a good thing for our overall wellbeing – a basic building block of human development and mental health. It also builds our immune system and releases chemicals in our brains that help us empathize with others.

It is the one thing we’re told to avoid most during the time of Corona. We can see each other; but only if we stay six feet away from one another. Only if we cover our faces.

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2020

Video chat is a wonderful thing. I remember as a child, probably talking on a party-line from our family farm – that one day telephones would be so advanced we’d have picture phones like the “Jetsons.” And here we are. How cool is that? Yet still, it doesn’t take the place of human touch.

We will once again be delivering this issue of the Island Review wearing our masks and keeping our distance from some of our favorite people – our advertisers and our readers.

We do it for your safety as well as our own. But please know that there is nothing we’d like more than to linger awhile and catch up on how everyone’s summer is going. Soon, we hope. We’re kind of counting on it. The possibility of eventually sitting close to our friends again is what keeps us going.

Sadly, changes in how we physically connect may linger long after the coronavirus is gone. For some, this may be the catalyst for changes across the board. My guess is that will not be the case in the South. As soon as the spread of the disease begins to diminish we feel certain that physical contact will be once again be free game. We look forward to seeing everyone then. And we expect a hug.

Carteret Castaways - Fun from Afar Chamber to Host Revised Reverse Drawing This month’s Chamber of Commerce column was guest written by Anna Smith, Manager of Chamber Programming he Chamber of Commerce staff may feel like they’ve been marooned on a deserted island, with limited interaction with the outside world due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but they know the show must go on! In the light of coronavirus safety measures, the annual Reverse Drawing will see a number of changes this year to ensure the fun can carry on, even from a distance.

This year’s theme of Carteret Castaways: Fun From Afar fits well into 2020 along the beautiful Crystal Coast: beach-centric and maintaining distance from large crowds.

Tickets are on sale now for the virtual Reverse Drawing that will take place on Saturday, Aug. 29, starting at 6:30pm. Participants will be able to tune in via livestream from wherever they have an internet connection, whether it be dry land or on the water!

There will be 350 tickets sold this year, for $50 apiece. Until they are all sold out, there is no limit on how many tickets one individual or business can buy to increase their chances of winning the $5,000 grand prize! Participants will get a goodie bag with the purchase of their tickets, which will include a few items to enjoy the evening of the event. Ticket holders are encouraged to be as creative as possible with how they interact with this year’s Reverse Drawing, to carry on the spirit of the chosen theme.

In this format, chamber staff envisions groups of family, friends and colleagues coming together to tune into the virtual Reverse Drawing and dressing to match the theme if desired.

Throughout the evening, there will be virtual contests that entries can be submitted and voted on through the Chamber’s Facebook page. These contests will include best costumes, best decorations, and more.

Even from various locations, the chamber aims to make this the best party of the summer!

“While we will miss holding our usual Reverse Drawing activities at the Crystal Coast Civic Center, we are excited for this unique experience of hosting a virtual event,” said Anna Smith, Chamber Program Manager. “We believe this is a great opportunity to collectively have fun and count down to the grand prize winner from Bounce Party Band various locations across

T

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2020

Eastern North Carolina, in a healthy environment.”

The chamber staff and accountant will livestream the big event from the Chamber Headquarters in Downtown Morehead City.

Throughout the evening, numbered ping pong balls correlating to the tickets will be drawn from the squirrel cage, and those numbers will be removed from the game boards. Once the last five numbers are the only ones on the board, those ticket holders will be called via conference call to determine if they would like to split the grand prize, or keep going to try to win it all single handedly. If it comes down to just two remaining ticket holders who don’t wish to split, the grand prize winner will be the final ticket number drawn. Don’t miss this exciting evening to see who will win the money!

Tickets can be purchased by going online at nccoastchamber. com, or by calling the chamber at 252-726-6350. If you wish to purchase a specific ticket number, call Anna Smith at the office between 9am-5pm, Monday – Friday, and she will check if the number is available. Payment will be accepted via credit card, cash, or check. Chamber staff must have payment in hand in order for you to receive your ticket stub and goodie bag. Specific ticket numbers can only be held for 24 hours without payment, before they will be listed as available for someone else to claim.

Bob Upchurch Appraisals, LLC is the ticket sponsor this year, and Cheryl Mansfield – Edward Jones, is the decorations sponsor.

If you have questions about the Reverse Drawing, please email anna@nccoastchamber.com or call the Chamber at 252-726-6350.

Storytellers Delight: The 'Booze Yacht Run Ashore'

I

t was a “stop the presses” moment – almost 100 years ago – in the autumn of 1920.

“Oh, it was a bad, terrible night – a tempest … it was blowing so hard,” said David Yeomans, a beloved Harkers Island storyteller.

‘Twas the night the “booze yacht run ashore” in Carteret County near Cape Lookout.

This was early in the Prohibition era in the United States (192033). There was a nationwide, constitutional ban on the “manufacture, sale and transportation of intoxicating liquors,” but it wasn’t illegal to drink alcohol.

“The Adventure was a sleek, first-class boat, 75 or 80 feet long … and loaded with whiskey,” David Yeomans said. “She came on down the beach and ran ashore right there,” he said, pointing toward ‘the Drain,’ a pseudo inlet between Cape Lookout and Shackleford Banks. At low tide, it was barely a trickle.

“The captain didn’t want to alert the Coast Guard of his mishap, so he decided the best thing to do was put some of that whiskey overboard, so the boat would lighten up and he could get off and escape the clutches of the Coasties,” which he did.

At night, the fishermen always gathered at Cleveland Davis’ store on Harkers Island.

“One old fellow said, ‘Now boys, we might be able to catch some mullet,” for this is the season of the ‘Mullet Blow.’

“We can’t get out of Beaufort Inlet in this wind, but if we take some of our rowboats, we’ll head to the Drain. The tide’ll be high when we get there, and we can get through and do our mullet fishing.”

And so out they went. But the fishin’ was forgot…when the boats approaching shore “bumped into” burlap bags loaded with fine – mighty fine – whiskey.

David Yeomans said: “Pints and half-pints; all ready for drinking!”

What they didn’t drink on the spot they decided to bury on the shore and come back to retrieve when sobriety prevailed.

There were still a few villagers living at Cape Lookout at the time.

Yeomans said: “They asked themselves: ‘What in tar-nation are them boys a-doin’ out there, hoopin’ and hollerin’ and carryin’ on so?’”

When the tipsy fishermen left, rowing a zig-zag course back toward Harkers Island, the village people said, “let’s go see.”

Yeomans said: “They dug up a bag and opened it. They saw what it was, and they dug and dug some more and carried off all the bags they found…and buried ‘em somewhere’s else. Everybody was stealing everybody’s whiskey!”

A song was written right away to help preserve the memory of the Adventure. It was named “The Booze Yacht,” with lyrics by Ralph Sanders, who had moved from New York City to Harkers Island, and performed by Ivey Scott, a Harkers Island boy who played a mean fiddle.

It’s set to the popular melody of “The Sidewalks of New York,” a popular song from 1894. Here’s snippet of it:

There’s a booze yacht run ashore!

This way, that way, to the Cape they run …The coming of the Adventure put the fishing on the bum.

Some folks lost their religion They back-slid by the score, When the booze yacht run ashore.

Some would part with all they got And some a little bit more To see another time like that When the booze yacht run ashore.

Access the tune by listening to the 1977 album, “Between the Sound & the Sea.” The YouTube version is performed by the late Jule Garrish of Beaufort, who sang with the Ocrafolk Opry.

The History of Independence Day Few summertime holidays elicit as much excitement as the Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day in the United States. Each year, family, friends and revelers anticipate the arrival of the holiday so they can host barbecues, enjoy the sun, listen to their favorite summertime tunes, and commemorate the freedoms afforded by the monumental events that led to the holiday’s establishment.

Independence Day became a federal holiday in 1941, but July 4th has stood as the birth of American independence for much longer. July 4th marks a pivotal moment in the American Revolution. According to PBS, the colonies were forced to pay taxes to England’s King George III despite having no representation in the British Parliament. “Taxation without representation” became a battle cry and was one of several grievances colonists had with Great Britain.

Conflict between the colonies had been going on for at least a year before the colonies convened a Continental Congress in Philadelphia in June of 1776, says Military.com. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence from England. Two days later, on July 4, 1776, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence.

The Declaration of Independence is an historic document drafted by 16

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2020

Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was considered the strongest and most eloquent writer of the declaration writing committee charged with putting the colonies’ sentiments into words. Richard Henry Lee of Virginia was one of the first people to present a resolution for American independence, and his commentary was the impetus for the formal Declaration of Independence. A total of 86 changes were made to Jefferson’s original draft until the final version was adopted. The signing of the document helped to solidify independence, and eventually lead to the formation of the United States of America.

A total of 56 delegates signed the document. Although John Hancock’s signature is the largest, it did not hold more weight than the other signatures. Rather, rumor has it, Hancock signed it so large so that the “fat, old King could read it without his spectacles.” However, the National Archives says it was also customary that, since Hancock was the president of the Continental Congress, he be the first person to sign the document centered below the text.

Staying Safe in the Summer Sun A relaxing day outdoors soaking up some of the sun’s rays is how many people prefer to spend their free time when the weather allows. While the very vision of a warm summer afternoon spent outdoors can invoke positive feelings, it’s important that people take protective measures before going outside and continue to do so while they’re out there.

According to the American Cancer Society, most skin cancers are the result of exposure to ultraviolet rays in sunlight. UV rays are a type of radiation that do not have enough energy to penetrate deeply into the body. As a result, they primarily affect the skin. Overexposure to these rays can lead to skin cancer.

Protection from UV rays The ACS notes that there are no safe UV rays, so it’s imperative that people take UV protection seriously. The following are some of the many ways to protect yourself while still enjoying sunny days outdoors.

Go out at the right times of day. The ACS notes that UV rays are at their strongest in the middle of the day between the hours of 10am and 4pm, so staying inside during these hours can protect your skin.

This is especially important in the spring and summer, as the ACS says UV rays are stronger during these seasons than other times of year.

Employ the shadow test when going outside. It may not seem

especially scientific, but the shadow test is a simple way for anyone to gauge how strong UV rays from the sun are at any given moment.

According to the ACS, if your shadow is shorter than you, that means the sun’s rays are at their strongest. This simple test can help people immediately determine how strong the sun’s rays are, compelling them to be extra cautious if necessary.

Apply sunscreen early and reapply often. The ACS recommends using sunscreens with broad spectrum protection that protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays, and applying them before leaving the house and reapplying often while outdoors. When choosing a sunscreen, choose one with a minimum sun protection factor, or SPF, of 30. Understanding SPF can help people recognize the importance of reapplication. When an SPF 30 product is applied correctly, a person gets the equivalent of one minute of UVB ray exposure for each 30 minutes he or she spends in the sun. So one hour in the sun wearing SPF 30 sunscreen is the same as spending two minutes totally unprotected. Reapplying SPF 30 sunscreen often can ensure you are protected at all times.

Wear a hat. Hats with a brim that is at least two to three inches all around protects vulnerable areas such as the eyes, forehead, nose, ears, and scalp. Choose a hat with a dark, non-reflective underside, as such a hat can lower the amount of UV rays that reach the face from reflective surfaces such as water.

Sun protection is important year-round, and especially so during spring and summer.

Hurricane Prep Equals Peace of Mind Later

W

e have had more than enough catastrophe already in 2020. But, here on the coast we must keep in mind that hurricane season officially began on June 1. We all need to be prepared.

Each time a storm threatens us, Town Hall receives a surge of the same questions regarding the closing of bridges and re-entry passes. The same policies and procedures for these things have been in place for years. I’ll recap them below in hopes of answering your questions before the next storm approaches.

First, we are often asked when we will “close the bridge.” The answer to this question is that we never close the bridges. Local police or the Highway Patrol will always let someone off the island during a storm. They may, however, advise you against crossing in high winds or in a high-profile vehicle. We do sometimes control access onto the island. But, we only control access onto the island in the event that an evacuation has been ordered.

It is only after an evacuation that you may need a re-entry pass to get back onto the island before the general public is allowed onto the island. If no evacuation has been ordered, there will be no access control at the bridges and you will not need a re-entry pass.

The purpose of a re-entry pass system is to control access back into town in the case of significant damage to property on the island.

If there is damage to homes and businesses, there is no reason for

the general public to be allowed into town until our properties are secure. The purpose of the system is to protect your property.

For the system to be effective we need to limit the number of passes that are issued to only those who own property or businesses or are long-term renters. Our lifetime passes were distributed years ago. If you do not have your passes, please visit our website to submit an application or call Town Hall to ask about the procedure.

Do this soon. Do not wait for a storm. In the hours leading up to a storm our staff has their hands full preparing the town for a natural disaster, re-entry passes cannot and will not be our top priority. In fact, we will stop issuing them as a storm approaches so that our staff can focus on more pressing issues.

Our passes are lifetime passes; take good care of them. We have recently streamlined the re-entry pass issuance procedure. But, please note that each replacement pass costs $25. I suggest putting them in your car’s glove compartment and treating them with the same care that you treat your car’s registration. If the pass is in your car, it will be there when you need it. Besides, the pass also serves as a free parking pass.

But, as noted above, not every storm will require a re-entry pass to get back onto the island. Re-entry passes will be required only if an evacuation has been ordered.

Food Waste:

What is it & What can we do About it

T

he topic of food waste is extremely important to me. As a dietitian, mother and wife the availability and cost of food is discussed often in our household. Have you ever fed a grown man and two small boys? I do, and gosh do they eat! Therefore, it is hard to wrap my head around the alarming statistics related to food waste.

According to the USDA Economic Research Service, we spend as a nation more than $162 billion to grow, process, and transport food that is never consumed. That translates into $1,500 wasted money on average per American family! What an alarming amount of money!

Beyond the wasted dollars is the excessive greenhouse gas emissions as food decays in landfills. Before my career in dietetics, the cost and pollution related to food waste never crossed my mind. But now as I am a licensed dietitian, I find myself reading and hearing more about how many processes going into harvesting food, both plant and animal products.

The most recent continuing education session I listened to was

discussing the dairy industry and how much influence a single cow can place on the environment. The large consumption of beef and dairy increases the total cows needed to meet demands, this increases the amount of machinery needed to process beef and dairy products. Also, the amount of emissions from the cows themselves have the potential to cause an environmental shift.

Who knew cow gas could be so influential!

How can you make an impact? Well like my last article discussed, consider purchasing local. Purchase what you will consume and try to utilize leftovers as often as possible. At Crystal Coast Wellness and Performance Center we often discuss how to use leftovers in a variety of ways to create many meals. This saves money and drastically decreases waste. Also buying in bulk has many advantages, if your family consumes all of it. When buying in bulk leads to even a small portion of waste, it has the potential offset if not reverse the intended savings. Stay tuned for next month’s issue where I will discuss how to utilize leftovers in a variety of different dishes!

Recognizing Heat Stroke in Dogs

S

ummer is a great time of year for people and their pets to enjoy the great outdoors and soak up some sun. Just as men and women exercise caution by applying sunscreen and staying hydrated on hot summer days, dog owners must take steps to protect their four-legged friends outdoors.

Heat stroke can pose a serious threat to dogs on hot days. Dog owners who routinely take their pets outdoors in summer must learn how to protect canines from heat stroke and how to recognize its symptoms.

What is heat stroke? Dogs suffer from heat stroke when their body temperatures exceed 104 F and the built-in mechanisms they rely on to cool themselves – including panting – cease to function properly. But any temperature 103 F or above is considered abnormal. According to PetMD, heat stroke is a form of non-fever hyperthermia that can lead to multiple organ dysfunction.

Is heat stroke immediately evident? Heat stroke can overwhelm dogs quickly, so dog owners should be especially diligent and watch their dogs closely when they are spending time outside on hot days.

Dogs may first suffer from mild heat-related stress or moderate exhaustion before they begin experiencing the more severe symptoms of heat stroke, so dog owners should look for signs of stress or fatigue and bring their dogs inside immediately after noticing such symptoms.

The consequences of heat stroke are severe, so dog owners should always err on the side of caution.

What are the symptoms of heat stroke? Dogs that are overheating and potentially suffering from heat stroke may exhibit a number of symptoms. Such symptoms are typically easy to spot, but dog owners

still must pay close attention to their four-legged friends during summertime walks or play sessions in the backyard. According to the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation, signs that a dog is overheating include: Panting followed by disorientation and fast, noisy breathing Collapsing or convulsing Bright red or blue gums Vomiting and diarrhea Vomit and diarrhea connected to heat stroke may contain blood. In addition, the eyes of dogs suffering from heat stroke may be glazedover and such dogs may be unresponsive to commands, or their replies to commands may be slower than usual.

Can heat stroke be prevented? Though dogs can suffer heat stroke even on mild days, dog owners can take precautionary measures.

Alter routines. Walking can be great exercise for dogs, but on hot days dog owners can walk their dogs when temperatures tend to be at their most mild, such as in the early morning hours or evenings when the sun is setting or has already set.

Limit play time. Dogs generate heat when playing and exercising, and their body temperatures may rise considerably on hot summer days. To reduce dogs’ risk of heat stroke, limit play time on hot days.

Don’t travel with dogs unless necessary. Temperatures can be unbearable inside vehicles, so dog owners should avoid taking their dogs along when running errands on hot days.

Dog owners must be especially mindful of their dogs’ behavior on hot days. Protecting dogs from extreme heat can safeguard them from heat stroke, which can be fatal.

24 Life Stories and Lessons from the Say Hey Kid

By Willie Mays and John Shea

Can you believe the Boston Red Sox passed on Willie Mays when he first moved up to the major leagues? He became a Giant and moved with the team from New York to San Francisco in 1958.

Any fan of baseball from the last century remembers Willie, one of the greatest, certainly in the top five of all time.

John Shea is the award-winning baseball writer at the San Francisco Chronicle who helped Willie recall the stories found in this must-read book for sports fans.

It is for sure Wille Mays had the greatest combination of skills of anyone who ever played the game. He hit 660 home runs, earned 12 gold gloves, played in 24 all-star games, and made some of the most famed plays in his long career. Perhaps most remembered is what is known as “the catch” from the 1954 World Series when he ran with his back to the infield and caught what was certainly a 460-foot drive by Vic Wertz. Then there was Willie’s four home run game in 1961. The list of highlight reels is long and magnificent.

Shea goes back in memory with his subject to the Negro Leagues where Willie played at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, the oldest professional park in America. The young Willie had been taught by his father, a good player himself. The Say Hey Kid recalls his early inspiration and includes in this collection many inspirational thoughts for young players today. One line stands out as Willie says you must play for the fans, “I would make a hard play look easy and an easy play look hard.”

This is a book about relationships as Mays tells of his time with Leo Durocher, the often gruff coach who “never cussed at me.” Readers learn of his closeness with Orlando Cepeda, Jackie Robinson, and more recently Barack Obama. It is also a history book highlighting many of the cultural events our nation encountered. There is the racism the baseball star experienced, his years in the Army during the Korean War, and his 41-year marriage to wife, Mae, a social worker, who related to him her experiences.

Willie says about racists, “I didn’t think about those damn people.”

Willie played his last years back in New York with the Mets where he says owner Joan Payson asked him to write his own contract.

Willie wrote, “I, Willie Mays, will do what I want when I want.” She agreed to this. The 24 chapters here are each full of fascinating anecdotes such as this. They take readers into the clubhouse with the superstar and go deeper into his colorful personality.

history banks

Hoop Pole Creek and the Civil War The War Between the States truly arrived in Carteret County in 1862, as Union forces ferried across Bogue Sound from an encampment near Morehead City to launch the historic “Siege of Fort Macon” on the eastern tip Bogue Banks.

The North Carolina Highway Historical Marker Program has planted one its famous silver and black “history sticks” on West Fort Macon Road (N.C. Highway 58) near the Atlantic Beach Post Office.

This marker reminds everyone that Union soldiers under the command of Gen. John Grubb Parke landed at Hoop Pole Creek March 29, 1862. From here, Gen. Parke proceeded to plot and plan the assault on Fort Macon that was occupied by a stubborn but sickly bunch Confederate loyalists.

Gen. Parke had graduated second in his class from the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., in 1849. His specialty was engineering.

In the Civil War, Gen. Parke was assigned to the command of Gen. Ambrose Everett Burnside.

By mid-March 1862, Fort Macon was the only significant Confederate obstacle still standing on the coast between Wilmington, N.C., and Norfolk, Va. Gen. Parke hoped to compel the Confederates to surrender the fort without resistance.

The South was in a scrape. Union troops had scored a major victory on March 14, 1862, capturing New Bern, North Carolina’s second largest city at the time (after Wilmington). Furthermore, the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, Fort Macon’s supply line, had now fallen into Union hands.

About a week later, Gen. Parke set up his headquarters on March 22, in Carolina City, a village of about 100 inhabitants just west of Morehead City (now the site of Carteret Community College).

On March 23, General Parke sent a message to Col. Moses James White, Fort Macon’s commanding officer demanding the surrender of the fort. He said: “In order to save the unnecessary effusion of blood, I have the honor to demand the evacuation of the fort and surrender of the forces under your command. Having an intimate knowledge of the entire works and overwhelming force at our command with the means of reducing the works, its fall is inevitable.”

Gen. Parke offered to release the men on parole if the fort was turned over intact. Col. White replied tersely: “I have the honor to decline evacuating Fort Macon.”

Very well. Gen. Parke proceeded with the operation of assembling troops and artillery to be ferried across Bogue Sound.

On March 29, 1862, the first detachment of Union infantrymen crossed the sound to begin forming the encampment at Hoop Pole Creek. Over the next two weeks, some 1,500 Union soldiers, artillery, equipment and supplies were moved steadily into position. Because the sound and creek were so shallow, the ferries could only operate at high tide.

Yet, the heavy artillery had to be man-handled through the muddy salt marsh and sand to reach the camp.

Col. White, was a 27-year old native of Vicksburg, Miss., who had also graduated second in his class from West Point, in 1858.

“He knew he faced serious limitations” and unfavorable odds for success, wrote Paul Branch, Fort Macon State Park ranger and historian.

None of Col. White’s five heavy artillery companies was commanded by a professional soldier. All were volunteers. His leadership team consisted of two doctors, a civil engineer, a merchant and a fellow who doubled as a teacher and a newspaper editor, according to 30

Branch. No one had any battle experience, including Col. White.

The Confederates were severely outnumbered, and “the general health of the men was not good,” Branch noted.

Meanwhile, Gen. Parke’s forces had begun dragging the artillery almost four miles east along the beach from Hoop Pole Creek into strategically located positions to within the dunes to fire on Fort Macon. The Union troops went about their business as they pleased, undeterred by the Confederates.

On April 23, Union Gen. Burnside sailed down the Neuse River and entered Core Sound with his flagship vessel, the Alice Price, and two floating batteries. He joined the Union gunboat Ellis that was anchored off Harker’s Island.

Gen. Burnside proceeded to send yet another a message inviting Col. White to surrender. It was delivered by Union Capt. Herman Biggs, who was a cadet classmate of White’s at West Point.

“I have arrived here with additional means of attacking your position,” Gen. Burnside declared. “Gen. Parke is now ready, but by my orders there has not been a single shot fired at the fort by the army. I deem it my duty to again summon you to surrender the place in its present condition, in which you and your garrison will be allowed to return to your homes on parole.”

“This proposition is made with a view to saving human life. Should you not accept these terms, the consequences of an attack and an assault will rest upon you.”

Once again Col. White sent back a refusal to surrender, stating: “Your letter per flag of truce is received, demanding surrender of Fort Macon. In reply I have to say I decline the surrender.” He did agree, however, to parley with Gen. Burnside on the morning of April 24 on Shackleford Banks.

Indeed, Col. White and Capt. Henry T. Guion (the civil engineer) met with Gen. Burnside and his officers on Shackleford. Gen.

Burnside tried to persuade Col. White to recognize the “futility of resistance.” Lay down your weapons to avoid the “slaughter of the garrison,” Gen. Burnside pleaded.

Col. White remained steadfast not to give up the fort without a fight.

The firing on Fort Macon began the following morning, on April 25, 1862.

Hoop Pole Creek Nature Trail Welcomes You! Most visitors to Atlantic Beach look to the south, gazing out over the wide expanse of Onslow Bay outward to the Atlantic Ocean where “the water sparkles like crystal.”

A travel editor from Virginia Beach, Va., however, recently looked northward to explore what she referred to as Atlantic Beach’s “wild side” – a 31-acre preserve that includes the Hoop Pole Creek Nature Trail. Bekah Conley wrote that the path is “easily accessible, seldom travelled and more or less hidden in plain sight.”

The land is owned by the North Carolina Coastal Federation, which is based in Carteret County.

Todd Miller, founder and executive director of the Coastal Federation, said the nonprofit organization bought the Hoop Pole Creek property in 1997 with a $2.5 million grant from the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund.

“It was the first land acquired using the newly established fund, and the purchase brought to an end a long and controversial debate over the fate of this property,” he said.

The centerpiece of the Hoop Pole Creek preserve is a maritime forest that features a collection of majestic, old and twisted live oak trees.

The out-and-back, one-mile trail “quickly leads visitors into a world of natural green landscapes and beautiful waterfront views, which are inherently peaceful,” Conley reported.

“An easy walk that is shaded year-round, and can be easily tackled by hikers of all abilities and in virtually any season, the Hoop Pole Creek Nature Trail is a great way for newcomers to uncover the more secluded natural landscapes of this otherwise resort town.”

“Naturalists exploring this trail can expect to spot a wide range of songbirds in the wooded regions, including warblers, cardinals and mockingbirds, but the true good sightings begin on the borders of the marshy, creek-front areas. Here, bird watchers will capture views of herons, egrets, ibises and a wide variety of other, long-legged shorebirds, who call this small parcel of undeveloped terrain home,” she said.

“The trail is most fascinating during the fall and spring months when the local bird population swells with migrating species.”

In fact, Hoop Pole Creek is one of the featured sites on the North Carolina Birding Trail.

This is a popular outdoor classroom for environmental education.

Thousands of school children visit the property each year to learn about water quality and the adjacent estuary, Miller said.

The nature trail is open for public use during daylight hours. There is a guided nature trail brochure at the trailhead, located next to the Atlantic Station Shopping Center on West Fort Macon Road (NC Highway 58) in Atlantic Beach. The entrance to the trail is adjacent to Bojangles’ restaurant.

“Be prepared for some bugs in the summer, though,” Miller advised.

What if the Coastal Federation Hadn’t Gotten Involved?

Rachel Bisesi, Coastal Education Coordinator with the N.C. Coastal Federation, said the conservation easement on the Hoop Pole Creek property offers forever protection for this area of Atlantic Beach, preserving water quality benefits as well as the town’s historical, cultural and recreational values.

Had Coastal Federation leaders not had their eyes on the ball in 1984, an investment group from the Charlotte area might have gotten its way … and approval to build 100 condominiums and a 100-boat marina at Hoop Pole Creek.

“Their plans would have destroyed the thick canopy of live oak trees and polluted the creek that’s rich in clean oysters and fish,” wrote the Coastal Federation’s Todd Miller. His organization successfully contested the state permit.

“This battle involved an amazing cast of characters, including two young lawyers who represented the federation pro bono,” Miller said.

Hurricane Season Preview - 2020 The 2020 hurricane season started on June 1 and will sunset six months later on November 30 – well ... at least officially. The formation of a cyclone (i.e., tropical storms and hurricanes) outside the official six-month designation has become commonplace the past several years and true to form; tropical storms Arthur and Bertha formed in May, and both resulted in rain events for Carteret County. In fact, 2020 is the sixth straight hurricane season that has started early.

However, climatology provides no assurances that early season cyclone activity promises an active hurricane season. Rather, trends in the dynamics associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation, sea surface temperatures, vertical wind shear, moist or dry air, and the Saharan Air Layer (dust) can provide a clue of whether or not the environmental conditions are favorable for cyclone development.

Meteorologists in turn often use this information to forecast the general level of activity we can expect for the year.

locations in advance of the hurricane season are going to continue to be a bit speculative for a while. There’s just too many variables at play to get at that granular level and of course there’s unpredictable weather patterns that develop and fade over and near land which also steer cyclones – all impossible to predict/forecast weeks and months ahead of time.

This again is why we like to look at the overall activity expected, which can foreshadow our probability of being impacted. To these ends, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in cooperation with Colorado State University maintain a website summarizing 21 Atlantic hurricane season forecasts for 2019. Yes – 21. That’s a lot, and our preference is to drill down and review the predictions produced by groups that make not just their forecasts public, but verify their prediction skills in the public arena as well. This really leaves us with; (1) the Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University, (2) the University College London, U.K. for Tropical Storm

NOTES 10 named cyclones formed between Aug. 21 and Sept. 23, tying 1949 and 2010 for the most during this timeframe. Conversely, 7 cyclones lasted 24 hours or less as a named storm – the most on record. Hurricane Dorian had 48 ACE points alone and may have just crossed Cape Lookout.

Above normal season including the land-falling hurricanes Florence and Michael that severely impacted the Carolinas and the panhandle area of Florida, respectively. Hurricane Florence, Leslie and Michael contributed 74 ACE points collectively (57% of annual total).

7th highest ACE index on record punctuated by September, which had the highest ACE ever for a single month (175). Hurricanes Irma, Jose and Maria contributed more than 40 ACE a piece – first time three tropical cyclones each produced >40 in a season.

Uncommonly prolonged (Jan. 12 - Nov. 25) yet very little activity in the climatological peak of the season as October had a higher ACE Index input (69) than August and September combined. Matthew alone had an ACE of 49 Somewhat surprising near average numbers of tropical storms and hurricanes despite the 2015-16 moderate to strong El Nino Event. ACE Index higher than forecasted yet still "below normal" and skewed by Joaquin, which had an ACE of 27 alone.

Fewest amount of total cyclones (8) since 1997 (7). Hurricanes Eduardo and Gonzalo accounted for over 60% of the ACE Index. Hurricane Arthur crossed Shackleford Banks 6th lowest ACE Index since 1950; 13 cyclones with two that developed into hurricanes. Fewest number of hurricanes since 1982.

Third consecutive year with 19 cyclones that ties record for third most cyclones ever for a season (2011, 2010, 1995, 1887, which all had 19 cyclones). Eight cyclones formed in August alone, which tied 2004 for the most formation in one month. Only seven seasons had more hurricanes than 2012.

Tied with 2010, 1995 and 1887 for the third most cyclones for a season at 19, but fewer of the cyclones developed into hurricanes (7 hurricanes in 2011 compared to 12 in 2010), yielding a lower ACE Value. Irene was the first US landfalling hurricane since Ike (2008).

Tied for third most cyclones for a season at 19, and tied for second most hurricanes for a season at 12. Igor had an ACE Index of 42 alone – highest since Ivan (2004).

El Nino year – 15th lowest ACE Index since 1950, 12 cyclones (most short lived), three hurricanes.

Ike and Gustav were major hurricanes that impacted Texas and Louisiana, Bertha was an extremely long lived cyclone and collectively accounted for 60% of the total ACE Index for 2008.

Fire more tropical cyclones than average, but most were very short lived or rather weak, with the exception of two category 5 hurricanes that Impacted Central America (Dear and Felix).

Ten cyclones total (lowest number since the 1997 season).

One was Charles Meeker, who went on to become a long-time mayor of Raleigh. Today, Meeker is a partner in the law firm Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, based in Raleigh. He also sits on the Coastal Federation’s board of directors.

The other was Steve Levitas, who became deputy secretary of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources under Gov. Jim Hunt. Presently, Levitas is a senior counselor in Raleigh with the law firm Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP. In the 1984 case, the Coastal Federation argued that the proposed development project “would degrade water quality because of polluted stormwater and illicit waste discharges from boats,” Miller said.

The battle led the way “to the adoption of much tighter state rules to control polluted stormwater runoff and for the proper siting of new marinas so as to protect shellfish waters that are still in effect today,” Miller noted.

In 1996, the same investors came back again to apply for a new state permit to build 50 condominiums and a 50-boat marina, Miller said.

This was the same year that lawmakers created the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund.

With a grant, the federation offered to buy the property. The developers agreed and a year later “the property was saved as a water quality buffer,” Miller said.

realizing that “the well-being of world depends on healthy oceans and coastal ecosystems.”

The organization strives “to protect and restore coastal water quality and habitats throughout the North Carolina coastal plain by collaborating with and engaging people from all walks of life who are committed to preserving the coast for current and future generations.”

To learn more, visit the Coastal Federation headquarters, located in the unincorporated community of Ocean on NC Highway 24, about midway between Broad and Sanders creeks.

It’s just a short drive from the Atlantic Beach bridge – 14 miles.

Even shorter from the Emerald Isle bridge – 7.5 miles.

The Coastal Federation office is on the edge of the Croatan National Forest. Directly across the highway is the gateway to the Patsy Pond Nature Trail. It winds through an area called the “Longleaf Pine Flat Woods.”

There are three short trails to choose from; the longest is 1.9 miles.

turtle tracks

Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Patrol

Busy Spring for Turtles along Bogue Banks

E

mmie, Hulk, Selma, Scoobie, Hitch and #6 (not named yet).

You might be wondering WHAT is this woman talking about?

These are the sea turtles that have been rescued so far by members of the Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Patrol! All of these turtles are currently recovering at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center (KBSTR&RC) down in Surf City. It has been a busy spring for us transporting stranded sea turtles first to CMAST in Morehead City to be stabilized, then on down to KBSTR&RC. Even though we are the SEA TURTLE PATROL, we have chased and/ rescued several other species of animals this spring. Carla Aldridge, co-coordinator of Zone 10, has also become our volunteer EISTP Bird Responder. Carla has, with various helpers, rescued several loons, a sweetwater, a gannett and a pelican thus far. If you find an injured bird, please call the non-emergency number for the city and stay with the bird until we arrive!

Once rescued, birds are transported to OWLS or Possumwood for treatment. We were called to help with baby otters, but they disappeared before we could assist. Finally, we investigated the presence of a nest laid by a land turtle in a local park. There never seems to be a dull day for our response team members.

As of the writing of this article, Emerald Isle can already claim two nests. The female turtle that laid the first nest was actually seen by people as she was returning to the water after she completed the nest. Cousins Reece Copeland (age 6) and Molly Copeland (age 5) got to observe the amazing sight of a sea turtle lumber back into the surf after laying her nest . About 12 hours later, Nest number 2 was discovered by Zone Coordinator Patricia Kellish. Both nests appear

to be loggerhead turtles.

Due to COVID 19, we have had many changes to our operations this year. We had to cancel our annual new volunteer orientation training day this spring. We will welcome and train new volunteers next season. Due to regulations, only trained volunteers are permitted to be in the trench when the hatchlings emerge. Even though we can’t train any new volunteers, interested people are more than welcome to join us at nests this summer to observe and enjoy the excitement. PLEASE follow the 6-feet social distancing rule whenever you are around the nests.

The nests procedures this summer will look different as well. In addition to marking off the nest areas, for now safety perimeters will be erected whenever volunteers are working with the nests. This is for the safety of everyone! We respectfully ask residents and visitors to abide by the safety procedures we might ask you to follow this season.

In the April issue, I introduced some of the members of our nest response team. This month I asked Ruthie Gomez-Stuart, our program co-coordinator to explain how she got involved in the turtle program. These are Ruthie’s words: “While taking a walk on the beach back in the summer of 2014, my husband and I stumbled upon a Sea Turtle nest excavation. No clue as to what that was, but a volunteer was eager to share their knowledge and I was enthralled to listen and learn. A turtle is not just a turtle learned a girl from the Bronx! The next spring, I was the first one at the orientation training and I am here today, loving every minute (well, almost every minute) of what I’m doing today.

I’ve become that eager volunteer willing to share and show what lives on our beach!”

town notes

Pine Knoll Shores Town Manager Brian Kramer

Learn What Law Enforcement is Doing for Residents

T

he Island Review asked me to cover the Mayor’s article this month. I am familiar with our late Mayor’s approach to these articles, as over the years we discussed topics and he often asked me to proof them. So given this, I thought to myself “What would Ken write about in this month’s article?” This was pretty easy: Ken was never one to back down on anything, so given current events I am certain he would write an article this month about the PKS police.

My intent here is not to comment on the current national debate.

Instead I want to tell you a little about your PKS Police Department – what this department does in the community – and hopefully find ways to continue to improve communication between the citizens and Pine Knoll Shores Police Chief Ryan Thompson’s nine man department by inviting you to contact the chief and meet with him.

We want to invite everyone who is reading this to sit with Chief Thompson to meet our police. Emails, social media posts and articles simply don’t cut it. Chief Thompson can show you shift schedules and crime statistics, but that’s not what we want you to see. We want you to hear from him to understand what the focus of our police department is.

That focus is pretty simple: a connection to the community and competence and skill in law-enforcement. These two things are not mutually exclusive. We tell every new officer when he comes aboard that we expect him to be kind and considerate to the people on the street, and skilled and competent when he encounters a drug scene in a hotel room, or responds to a domestic incident, or pulls over a

black tinted window car on Salter Path Road at 2am.

We want you to hear Chief Thompson’s offer to have one of his cops attend a Homeowner Association meeting. We want your Homeowner Association members to tell the cop what is working and what isn’t.

We want you to see Chief Thompson’s emphasis on getting cops out of their cars, on handing out business cards with cop’s names and on having cops patrol the neighborhood on bikes. We want your input on how to improve our effort to have citizens and cops actually know each other.

We want you to hear Chief Thompson’s plan to continue “ticketing” of children – that is, providing a ticket to a local ice cream parlor after an officer saw a kid wearing his bike helmet – and get your thoughts on other ways to improve the image of law enforcement in the community and better connect our cops and our citizens.

We want to tell you of Chief Thompson’s initiative to have the town enrolled in the North Carolina “Watch For Me” program to promote a pedestrian safety. We don’t want to simply tell you about the program. We want to hear from you on pedestrian public safety concerns you have in PKS. PKS doesn’t have the same issues of malice between the police and the citizens as we see in urban areas on TV right now. But given that this crisis has taken on national and international scale, we can do our part by improving on our police-and-community connection.

Please contact the chief at rthompson@townofpks.com to sit and discuss this.

pks club news

PKS Women’s Club July reminds me of flags, fireworks, food, celebrations, very hot days, the coolness of the ocean and enjoying time with others. When I think of these and the Women’s Club, I see us spending time together helping others in the community, having fun with each other at meetings or anytime we’re together, and caring and supporting our community by volunteering their services. We have many members that volunteer at various places in Carteret County such as the N.C. Aquarium, Carteret Health Care and The History Museum.

One of our members has been a Guardian ad Litem in the Carteret County Court system helping a child in foster care for over 10 years. I don’t know if you are aware of what it takes to be a Guardian ad Litem, but she goes through intensive screening including a criminal background check and 30 hours of training. Then she is assigned by the court judge to represent the child’s interests and needs as related to a case. There are many hours spent working with the child, the attorney and the child’s parents or guardians to help this child be in the safest place possible. It is quite an undertaking and Janie Price has been doing this for 10 years. Hats off to you Janie! We are very

proud of you!

This year our summer has been different. We have needed to be cautious about being outside the home due to the coronavirus. I would expect that many of you have cabin fever at this point! Please remember to take precautions as laid out by the governor and state health director when you are around others. We want you to remain safe so you can return to Women’s Club in September. We hope to have an Installation Luncheon then. We will continue to monitor the situation as we get toward the end of the summer. In the meantime, please enjoy your family, friends, neighbors (of course at a distance of 6 feet please and wear masks). Stay healthy and well!

Find us on Facebook to learn more about the club or to see how you can get involved!

A Summer Life no Other

T

he new normal. Social distancing. Wash your hands. Wear your mask. Stay 6 feet apart. No baseball. No graduations.

No hugs. Stay at Home Orders. Safer at Home North Carolina Phase 2. The impossible to comprehend reality of over 100,000 American lives lost to COVID-19. This truly is a summer like no other, at least in our lifetime.

But the heart knows what the heart knows. The tribal memory of our human DNA says that the warmth of basking in the sun and longer days of daylight whisper summer is here. The primordial joy of summer equates to freedom, and freedom in America means take to the open road and travel to your vacation destination. But will we travel, should we travel? Yes, this is a summer like no other.

I am not a medical doctor working in public health, I am not an epidemiologist, and I am certainly not clairvoyant. But since March, the burden of trying to forecast future travel behavior and understand COVID-19 research plus NCDHHS and CDC guidelines has fallen on all of us working in the hospitality industry, including vacation rental managers, hoteliers and restauranteurs. Our small family business had to rethink much of the way we have done business for the past six decades. We now feel good about the ways we were able to analyze, innovate and implement best practices that will allow us to welcome back our guests in the healthiest and safest way possible.

Yet, it will still be a summer like no other.

Nevertheless, summer is here, and the beach still beckons as our reservation team is experiencing record breaking call volume and has recently booked millions of dollars of new reservations to replace the April and May COVID-19 cancellations. Perhaps John Mansfield’s poem, “Sea Fever” has become part of America’s summer song:

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2020

…I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied…

For families who cannot face another moment of quarantining at home with their spouse and children, the “Covid Dream” of sheltering safely in a beach vacation rental home, practicing social distancing on Emerald Isle’s (relatively) uncrowded beaches is a dream they can easily make come true. Pent up demand for travel is real and anecdotally we are hearing from many families who have never been to Emerald Isle before but are choosing us for their vacation this year.

Nonetheless, a significant number of other families are reluctantly cancelling their plans to gather three or four generations of family in a beach home because of vulnerable, at risk grandparents, cousins, aunts or uncles. Oh yes, especially for them, this is a summer like no other.

We are in love with every single tradition of summer but this will not be the year for lively music festivals, the hugs, covered dish dinners and laughter of large family reunions, flying to Chicago to watch our beloved Cubbies play, or crowding into local cinemas for the blockbuster summer movie of the week. But the Bogue Sound watermelons will still be delicious, especially enjoyed cold on a hot July beach. Early morning beach walks will always renew my spirit. Sandcastles will be built just on the edge of the incoming tide, molded by the tiny, sun-kissed freckled hands of my grandsons and granddaughters. Sweet summer memories will still be made. But the summer of 2020, this will be a summer we will always remember, a summer like no other.

life in the south

Mike Wagoner

NC is Texas Pete's Home State

F

ood and travel writer Jenn Rice of Durham says: “Texas Pete Original Hot Sauce is to North Carolina as bourbon is to Kentucky.”

Barstool Sports’ blogger Caleb Pressley of Asheville says he considers “Texas Pete to be the fourth best thing about his native state,” ranking it a notch above “North Carolina’s mountains.”

Are Rice and Pressley off their rockers? Not at all. Texas Pete is pure North Carolina, invented by the Garner family of WinstonSalem during the Great Depression years.

The saga began more than 90 years ago – in 1929 – when Thad W. Garner, son of Sam and Ila Jane Garner, invested all of his savings … accumulated while working jobs as a bus driver and newspaper delivery boy … to purchase a local WinstonSalem business known as the Dixie Pig barbecue stand.

The most valuable asset proved to be the vinegar-based barbecue sauce recipe, dubbed a “Louisiana-style hot sauce.”

Thad Garner’s barbecue joint didn’t survive, but people loved the Dixie Pig sauce. Ila Jane and daughters Virginia, Elizabeth and Margaret made it in the family kitchen. Sam and sons Thad, Ralph and Harold took to the road and peddled it throughout the Piedmont of North Carolina.

Customers suggested that the sauce would be “even better if it were a tad spicier.” The Garner family tinkered and dickered with the recipe to come up with a hot sauce that was infused with a special “snap, crackle and pop.” They added cayenne peppers.

Sam Garner saw the opportunity to create a new brand, and he sought the advice of a hot-shot marketing consultant.

The man suggested the name “Mexican Joe” – to “connote the piquant flavor reminiscent of the favorite foods of our neighbors to the south.”

Sam Garner was half-way impressed, but he insisted the made-in-the-U.S.A. product had to “have a dad-gum American name.” He reckoned that Texas also had a reputation for spicy cuisine. Then he glanced at son Harold, whose nickname was “Pete,” and it was settled. The “Texas Pete” brand was born.

“The tangy, spicy Texas Pete condiment contains a blend of three peppers, but the recipe is a closely guarded top secret,” Jenn Rice reported.

The linkage of Texas Pete to cowboys was another stroke of genius. Movie cowboys were very popular in the 1930s, and Tom Mix was the hottest star in Hollywood, called the “king of the cowboys.” He starred in 291 early western movies. A likeness of Mix’s face on Texas Pete products preceded the iconic red cowboy logo that has been associated with Texas Pete since 1962.

When the Texas Pete production demands grew beyond the capacity of the Garner family kitchen, the family built a real factory in Winston-Salem and the T.W. Garner Food Company was officially formed in 1946.

Over the years, Garner Foods expanded to include sauces for pork, chicken, seafood and Mexican-style dishes.

Ann Garner Riddle now serves as Garner Foods’ CEO. She is a niece of Thad Garner and is approaching 50 years of service with the company. The fourth generation of Garners now fill key management roles.

The “Texas Pete Tribe” is the name of the product’s fan club.

Member Michael Eickemeier of High Point, said: “I put Texas 50

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2020

No Kidding

Pete on Texas Pete.”

David LaBlanc of Breaux Bridge, La., wrote: “It’s not brunch unless my plate is swimming in Texas Pete.”

Around Winston-Salem, Jenn Rice told readers of the Tasting Table website: “You’ll be hard-pressed to find a restaurant that doesn’t have a bottle of Texas Pete on every table. It’s practically a legend in the South – a liquid condiment home cooks and bigname chefs alike swear by.”

She cited Winston-Salem chefs who use Texas Pete on or in everything from brownies to hashbrowns … and from fried chicken to bourbon cocktails.

JULY ARIES (March 21-April 20) Aries, your

finances will be hard to corral until you get a firm grasp of your spending and saving patterns. It is easy to find yourself into financial quicksand, so act soon. You are a master of turning the tides very quickly. You may need to do so as you face an unforeseen challenge mid-month. Roll your sleeves up and get to work. There is a lot you want to say to someone special, but for some reason the words get stuck on your tongue. You may need a little more time to formulate your thoughts. An opportunity to overcome past injustices or things you may have felt you did wrong presents itself. It may arrive out of the blue, but you won’t miss it. What seems like innocent fun can quickly escalate. Be sure to rein in the excitement.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Career concerns have been on your mind lately. It may seem like the opportunities you thought were out there have vanished. Opportunity is there if you look.

Communication with others seems to be going well and you have a full social calendar, Taurus.

This will boost your self-esteem and possibly propel you toward new goals. The adage “look before you leap” is never more pertinent for you.

Weigh all of your decisions carefully before you start any new projects. Don’t be surprised if an old friend calls you toward the end of the month and wants to catch up. Expect to reconnect as if no time has passed since your most recent encounter. This might be the time to ramp up the romance. If you are single, find a new match. If you’re in a relationship, exchange romantic texts.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) The desire to make big changes in your life may not be possible right now, Gemini. Rather, focus on small things you can change immediately and easily. Don’t feel like you need to make sense of everything all of the time. Sometimes things will work themselves out and will become more clear with time. Try to keep the peace with other people this month. Lead by example rather than telling others what to do. This approach will be more warmly received by others. Try developing a project in secret and working out the kinks before you bring others in on the plan. Conduct several trial runs before going forward. No one can make healthy decisions for you. It is up to you to make some changes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Insecurity about the future could put a bit of a damper on daily life.

No one really knows what is around the corner, so try to take things one day at a time. Relating to others can sometimes be difficult for you, Cancer. You tend to see things more deeply and emotionally than others. Afford others the chance to express themselves. You may want to look up old friends who you haven’t seen for a while. You may be feeling sentimental or sociable and a simple text or phone call can be effective. When people come to you for advice it can feel gratifying that others revere you for your expertise and knowledge. This validates your insights. If your relationship has been complicated by finances and power struggles, that will start to settle in the days to come. You will find a middle ground.

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2020

LEO (July 23-August 23) It may be time to have a heart-to-heart conversation with someone you deeply care about. You may need to surround this person with positivity right now.

Finding a comfortable point in a relationship may take some time. But once you are there, it will feel like this was the course from the beginning. Just have a little patience. You like to have the final say in all matters. But there is a fine line between taking charge and being a control freak. Let others’ reactions help you fine tune your delivery. You feel rewarded after helping people, even if you do not get paid for your service. Your naturally generous spirit can be rewarded in different ways. Your significant other can be the catalyst for change. He or she may help you propel your career and potentially open up doors you never considered.

VIRGO (August 24-September 22) Virgo, a shock will hit you early in the month. An event unfolds in a way you did not anticipate, and you must go with the flow. Things will settle down soon enough. You may be full of fastpaced energy as the month begins. This is an extension of your lively, upbeat nature. You can make tremendous career strides with very little effort. You should be able to get to the root of problem if you put in some serious effort. It may involve receiving and analyzing feedback from many different people. Someone understands you without having to say a word. This is the person you want to permanently have in your camp. Do what you can to make this possible.

You may need to get some things of your chest soon. But don’t fret. You’ll be able to get your emotions out and start over with a fresh and calm perspective.

right now. But all it takes is a minor adjustment to change all of that immediately.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21) Sagittarius, professional matters may require further investigation. If you desire stability, it may be time to find a different career path. It may take some time to rally from a physical slump. Once you’ve committed to a fitness routine, expect a learning curve until you get into the swing of things. You may have to rethink certain principles that you have adhered to for years. After some reflection, you may realize life has changed and you must adjust.

If you are single, now may be a time when you spot someone new in the neighborhood who could be a match. Couples will strengthen their relationships. With all the pressure you have been under lately, it's easy to buckle. However, you have energy reserves in droves and can muscle through.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20) Finding time to do something for yourself can be tough when everyone seems to be relying on you. But you have to set aside moments for personal pampering. Someone might be trying to ruffle your feathers by invading your personal space. Set the boundaries politely but effectively. Don’t give in to childish behavior. It may not be easy to get things done mid-month.

You might find it challenging to muster up the energy to be effective. If so, look to others for motivation. You have a method of expressing yourself that garners many admirers. Keep up the good work and allow others to express themselves as well. Miscommunication at work may lead to confusion and broken agreements.

You may have to be the level head.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) Hitting a creative wall can certainly derail your plans. But only if you let it. Instead, enlist the help of others for some creative inspiration that can put you back on track. Do not hesitate to take advantage of an opportunity or it could cost you. Push your indecisiveness to the side once and for all and jump in. This month’s overall outlook is positive for you, however, you may have to work a little bit for that positivity. The attitude you present is what you will get in return. Financial matters take a positive spin. This means you can indulge in some creature comforts that may have been out of reach. Enjoy this good fortune. Surround yourself with your favorite things and people.

This will make daily life that much better and help you put a positive spin on anything.

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18) Aquarius, count your blessings in the days ahead. Doing so will help you look at things through a new perspective that will help you in the short- and long-term. Things may be moving more quickly than you are comfortable with right now. If you need to slow the pace, put on the brakes and explain why to others. Lately you have been challenged to assert yourself in many different ways. You tend to thrive in a leadership role, but don’t let the stress get the best of you.

Keep a conversation flowing with a lot of great ideas. Avoid falling too far into daydreaming mode so you can serve as the catalyst for great conversation. Keep a level head through a demanding time.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22) You may find it very challenging to see eye-to-eye with someone close to you. It’s easy to let things escalate. Agree to disagree and recognize you each have a point. Scorpio, you are currently in a great place to make a significant move in your life. You have what it takes to make a push toward big goals. Opportunities come from all angles. Embrace your creative side rather than your analytical side. Employ your creativity and you may be surprised at the results. Do not be afraid to be passionate at some point. Whether it is a pet project or a relationship, approach it with renewed passion. You may be a little moody and things may not be going according to plan

PISCES (February 19-March 20) You may reevaluate your plans when a bit of shocking news comes your way, Pisces. The nature of this news is positive, so look forward to it.

Now is the perfect time to start a work-at-home routine or take a pre-existing situation to the next level. Productivity is booming. Many things come to you naturally. Examine your strengths and figure out how to be as productive as possible in the days ahead. Shy away from familiar activities and try something completely new. Study something you have always enjoyed or try a new hobby. Dreams fill your mind. But you have to operate in the real world. See if you can merge your goals with your dreams.

The Sun will Rise Again on the Crystal Coast I would like to extend my greatest gratitude to the men, women and families who allow us to live free, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Based on the amount of traffic in Emerald Isle over Memorial Day weekend, people were ready to get back out and hopefully practice social distancing. Many people wonder if this is a good idea. Let’s discuss the facts and their impact: we have made progress in testing with daily test rates of 400,000 per day. The good news is new case growth has declined from 5% to 2% per day. One would expect reported cases to increase due to increased testing and loosening of lockdown rules but unfortunately this has not occurred yet. While we are enjoying more freedoms, please remember that social distancing is effective. We should maintain social distancing guidelines because total active cases slightly increased over the last few weeks however it appears overall the pandemic continues to be largely under control.

In client phone and Zoom meetings, I have been reviewing client financial plans and portfolio strategies. Many clients have asked why the stock market has done so well while the economy continues to struggle with millions of people out of work. My response is that the stock market is a discounting mechanism looking six to twelve months down the road and so far, it likes what it sees. Recent weekly initial unemployment claims have started to decline from the peak which means we can hope that the major damage is done. We can all help support one of the hardest hit areas of the economy, our local small businesses and restaurants, by patronizing them more often.

We are heading into the real test in the next couple of weeks based on the number of new potential cases due to states reopening while we also monitor how willing people are to go back out and spend money. Speaking with local realtors helped me understand the challenges and opportunities they have faced. There is good news here also because mortgage applications are almost back to 2019 levels which will drive additional spending. Google search results for vehicle purchases have also significantly increased.

Overall, the early data shows that spending might come back faster than anyone expected.

Now is a good time to revisit or develop your comprehensive financial plan and reassessing your portfolio risk due to recent extreme volatility.

A final THANK YOU to all of our healthcare and first responders.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
