Big Rock Slated for June 8-13 At the end of May, the Big Rock Board of Directors voted unanimously to proceed with the 62nd annual Big Rock Tournament and 23rd KWLA Lady Angler Tournament. The annual event will begin at scheduled with the Lady Angler Tournament on Saturday, June 6 followed by the Big Rock June 8-13.

The board has been monitoring Covid-19 and “feel the tournaments can proceed safely and responsibly with no social events while asking that participants and spectators adhere to social distancing and other health precautions which are now well known to all,” according to a press release.

The tournament can still listen to a VHF radio feed featuring Randy Ramsey and follow along at www.thebigrock.com. Online viewing will be enhanced through social media posts. For participants, a drive-through dinner is being planned.

While prizes are awarded for game fish such as mahi mahi, tuna and wahoo, the blue marlin weigh-ins are what draws the crowds to the bleachers and the streets to see who is at the top of the leader board and in the running for the purse, which runs in the millions.

Prior to 1957, the blue marlin was an elusive catch that most believed could only be caught in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. One had never been caught in the waters off Morehead City, though sailors often told stories of the blue marlin seen not too far offshore. Most were convinced these stories were just tall tales, but Morehead City’s Fabulous Fishermen Club decided to see if the stories were true.

The original members of the club were able to convince local business leaders to put a small cash prize together for the person to catch the first blue marlin. While boats began to venture further out, the first blue marlin wasn’t caught until Sept. 14, 1957. The angler was welcomed at the dock by an impromptu parade and a children’s red wagon full of the prize money.

Today, the tournament raises funds for a variety of charities in 8

Morehead City, NC 28557 crystalcoastawnings.com As seen on HGTV! Like us on:

from the editor's desk Looking Forward and Saying Goodbye Boy, did we miss you last month. As many of you have realized we did not print a May issue of the Island Review.

There was so much uncertainty in March and early April that we felt it best to hit the pause button and err on the side of caution. This helped us minimize public contact for our staff and develop a safe strategy for delivery.

We are glad to be back – and excited to see so many of our local businesses opening their doors once again. The summer season is vital to the Carteret County economy, especially along our beach towns. Like us, businesses are finding their best safe practices and welcoming visitors once again.

This doesn’t mean, of course, that the need for caution has passed. We urge everyone, residents and business owners alike, to maintain safe habits. Much uncertainty remains, but if we stay vigilant and maintain safe distances when possible, we should all be able to enjoy the summer and the pleasure it brings. After the last two months, we deserve a little bit of sunshine.

Readers will notice an expanded Property Watch in this issue. It is certainly one of our more popular sections each month and we didn’t want anyone to miss out due to the absence of a May edition. In this issue you will find listings for two months instead of the usual one month.

While we do list information about scheduled events in Coasting, Coastal Calendar and the Staying Busy sections for

Emerald Isle and Swansboro, please note that all events listed are contingent upon sites being able to open their doors to the public. We provide the information optimistically – as hopes are high that things will return to normal sooner than later. But we urge everyone to please call the appropriate agency to confirm that an event is taking place before planning to attend.

We cannot complete this issue without sharing how saddened we were to hear of the sudden loss of Pine Knoll Shores Mayor Ken Jones in May. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends and co-workers.

It is safe to say that he was one of one of our biggest cheerleaders as we ventured into business ownership to keep the Island Review in print. While he offered encouraging words to us, he praised our efforts along Bogue Banks and on the boards in which he held a seat. We delivered our first issue – November 2019 – on election day. When we pulled up to town hall in Pine Knoll Shores, there he was, introducing to us to election volunteers and folks as they came to cast their ballot.

Not only was he a staunch public servant – but an advocate for those doing business in the town of Pine Knoll Shores. We are better people for having known him – he will be sorely missed.

Stressful Times for Essential Workers

T

he world has awakened to find out who our essential workers are. We’ve always known that our first responders are absolutely essential. They are the police officers, fire fighters and EMTs. Even before the pandemic, time and time again they have shown their bravery and fortitude, rushing toward trouble, not away.

And as we’ve seen, the doctors, nurses, and health care workers are on the frontlines every single day, some without the essential personal protection equipment. Luckily, so far, a shortage of PPE hasn’t been an issue here in Carteret County.

While we’re talking about health care workers, let’s not forget the staff in our nursing homes that have been hit particularly hard. When thinking about essential workers, we also need to include the people in our health care facilities that clean and disinfect the workplaces that are most likely to be a hotbed for the virus.

What was eye opening for me was the number of essential workers whom I hadn’t considered. The young lady on the front counter of Food Lion helping me to check out my groceries. The man in the aisle stocking the shelves. The people who push the grocery carts from the parking lot and then disinfect them for incoming customers.

I hadn’t thought about the truckers that are so important to our supply chain. With restaurants and truck-stops limiting dining-in opportunities, that leaves drive-thru, often as the only alternative for a meal on the road. Nearly impossible for an 18-wheel rig.

With home delivery so important now, where would we be without our mail carriers and delivery crews? And God bless the sanitation

workers, the bus drivers, city, county and state employees.

And while the airlines are down by 95% in passenger count, you still have the pilots, flight attendants and maintenance crews that are still keeping planes in the air.

The list goes on and on, of course, and the stresses that our essential workers face will take a toll. According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, health care workers in China are experiencing high levels of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Recently, a top emergency room doctor in New York City committed suicide after helping countless numbers of people infected with Covid-19.

The stress doesn’t stop with health care workers. I’ve talked with some folks I know who work at our local grocery store. They told me that they appreciate it when they see customers using a face mask.

They know that it does more to protect them then the people who wear them.

They hate it when they see customers who aren’t keeping a safe distance. And they know that the supply chain is problematic. They can’t control the product shortages or the semi empty shelves.

Particularly stressful is the thought that they might be bringing the virus home to their families and loved ones.

So, if you get a chance, thank the essential workers you come into contact with and tell them how much they are appreciated.

Act responsibly. Be kind to the people around you and be good to yourselves. Stay healthy and stay safe.

Kool-Aid Man Rescues Thirsty Kids

H

appy 66th birthday to the “Kool-Aid Man.” The squatty pitcher with the icy cold smile made his debut in 1954.

He found the magical fountain of youth, continuing on as the forever-young mascot of the Kool-Aid brands of flavored drink mixes.

After acquiring Perkins Products Company in 1953 (and its top-selling Kool-Aid line), General Foods tasked its advertising agency Foote, Cone & Belding to create a new marketing campaign.

It was mid-winter in Chicago, Ill., when art director Marvin Potts watched his son drawing smiley faces on frosted windows at their home.

That “aha moment” led to the creation of the “Kool-Aid Man.” The character came to life to deliver the message: “A 5-cent package makes two quarts.”

The mascot has evolved into a fun-loving, gigantic and anthropomorphic pitcher filled with cherry flavored Kool-Aid. When thirsty children called, the KoolAid Man smashed through walls to bring them relief, bellowing his catchphrase, “Oh Yeah!”

Kool-Aid was invented in Hastings, Nebraska, by Edwin Elijah and Kitty Perkins in 1927. The product evolved from a liquid concentrate called “Fruit Smack.”

Edwin Perkins figured out a way to convert his formula of ingredients into a dehydrated, powdered drink mix. As such, he created Kool-Aid. The original six flavors were grape, orange, cherry, raspberry, lemon-lime and root beer.

A family could make a pitcher full of Kool-Aid for only pennies.

Sales soared. Edwin and Kitty Perkins, moved their operation to Chicago in 1931 to expand production capacity and improve distribution access to major markets. In the midst of the Great Depression, Kool-Aid became a staple in practically every American home.

Americans recently voted in an online poll that their favorite new Kool-Aid flavor is “Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade.”

Although the South can’t claim Kool-Aid as its own, the invention of “koolickles” is pure “Mississippi Delta Dixie.”

“It was only a matter of time before someone put a pickle in KoolAid,” wrote Julie R. Thomson for Serious Eats, a website for food enthusiasts. “If you have a dill pickle, a glass of Kool-Aid and a want for a sweet and sour, the natural thing to do is to steep said pickle into the sweet Kool-Aid drink.”

She said: “It requires absolutely no pickling skills. Take a halfgallon of sliced dills, drain the brine into a clean jar, add in a packet of cherry Kool-Aid and a cup of sugar. Stir the brine until the sugar and Kool-Aid are dissolved and then return to the pickle jar, and put it in the fridge.”

Thompson wrote. “After about a week of turning the jar once a day, you’ll have your koolickles. Neon-cherry red. How do they taste? Like flavored sweet dill pickles.”

Kathy Hanrahan, an editor at WRAL-TV in Raleigh, interviewed Dr. William Ferris, professor of Southern history and folklore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on the subject of koolickles.

16

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2020

“The backdrop is that the South has always been a pickling culture. Pickled okra. Pickled watermelon rind. Pickled peaches and fruits,” said Dr. Ferris, whose hometown is Vicksburg, Miss.

The Delta is the Southern frontier, on the edge of Southern culture, Dr. Ferris noted. “That edginess allows things to happen there that would not be possible in other parts of the South.”

Rick Beuning, an executive with Double Quick Inc., a chain of convenience stores based in Indianola, Miss., is credited with coining the term “koolickle.”

Double Quick applied for a “Koolickle” trademark in 2007, but backed off, changing its trademark request to “Koolickle” to “Pickoola,” which was approved in 2009.

“Pickoolas” are now sold at 49 Double Quick stores in Mississippi and Arkansas … but they may be introduced at Refuel stores in South Carolina as early as this summer. Refuel Operating Co. of Charleston, SC, acquired Double Quick on April 23, 2020.

Figure 1 – Map depicting the geographic extents and cubic yardage (volume) involved with Phase II (2019) and Phase II (2020) of the Post-Florence Beach Renourishment Project.

Phase II Beach Renourishment Complete Dune Planting is Now Underway On April 29, our dredging contractor (Great Lakes Dredge & Dock) successfully completed Phase II of the Post-Florence Beach Renourishment Project. In general, the Post-Florence Renourishment Project as a whole is aimed to nourish roughly 21 miles of Bogue Banks shoreline from the Circle in Atlantic Beach to the Point in Emerald Isle in three phases. The Phase I effort was completed in late April 2019 dredging/pumping wise, and the dune planting stage was finished in August of that same year. In all, 975,141 cubic yards (cy) of sand was placed along 5.2 miles of beach between the Indian Beach/Pine Knoll Shores town boundary and the “dog-leg” 4-Wheel Access Ramp in Emerald Isle – roughly the equivalent of ~81,300 dump trucks worth.

The recently completed Phase II project encompassed 9.5 total miles of shoreline as West Emerald Isle, Salter Path, Pine Knoll Shores and West Atlantic Beach received roughly 345,000 cy, 140,000 cy, 990,000 cy, and 520,000 cy, respectively (1,995,000 cy total) in four discrete reaches. That’s roughly double the Phase I Project both in terms of cubic yardage (volume) and project length.

The accompanying map (Fig. 1) depicts the geographic extents of both the Phase I and II projects.

Phase III is scheduled to be constructed next winter (2020-21) 18

in central and west Emerald Isle. Sand has and will continue to be obtained from the Offshore Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS) associated with Morehead City Federal Navigation Project (also depicted in Fig. 1).

Akin to the Phase I effort, a detailed dune planting work scope was included in our dredging contract for Phase II, which incorporates the planting, fertilization and initial watering of roughly 700,000 of sea oats (mostly) and bitter panicum on top and mostly down the entire slope of the newly constructed dune. Sea oats and bitter

panicum are native plants to this area and were cultivated by our subcontractor, Coastal Transplants of Bolivia, NC. Planting the entire 9.5 miles stretch of Phase II will take a few months to complete and importantly, please help the plants by educating visitors to not step on the new plantings. The plants have enjoyed the luxury of a climate controlled greenhouse and are now subjected to spray and the heat of the beach – they need to be left alone so they can grow like you see here (Fig. 2) – just about a year after initial planting.

Atlantic Beach Mayor Trace Cooper

Designing New Town Buildings

I

never thought I would miss a good ol’ hurricane. But, after working through several weeks of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the adage “better the devil you know than the devil you don’t” rings true. Thankfully, Atlantic Beach has, so far, been spared of any deaths from COVID-19. Similarly, it seems that our businesses have been able to survive the severe economic crisis brought on by the virus. The main impact this pandemic has had on Atlantic Beach is not physical. Rather, it has created divisions that have been revealed through contentious online and in-person interactions among members of our community.

One division that emerged in the early days of the pandemic was between certain year-round residents and our second homeowners.

Some year-round residents urged the town to prevent access to anyone who was not a year-round resident. I understand why people would want us to take that approach. And, in fact, some coastal communities did just that. Atlantic Beach, however, does not do things that way.

I do not suggest that the communities who excluded second homeowners were wrong. They just have a different philosophy of governing a resort community than we do. Some elected officials see their constituents as only those who vote in their elections. We take a broader view. Property taxes are the primary funding source of the government of the Town of Atlantic Beach. These taxes are

paid by year-round residents, second homeowners and businesses, alike. Our view is that we represent all of those who are funding the town’s operations, regardless of where they are registered to vote.

We do not prioritize one segment of our constituency over another.

We are all Atlantic Beach.

It is going to be an unusual summer here. Even as our businesses reopen and some visitors return to town, we will have to be careful to ensure that we keep the coronavirus in check. The Town of Atlantic Beach has cancelled many of our events and camps that would attract large crowds. Social distancing is the new normal. While we must continue to keep our distance from one another until vaccines are widely available; let us not forget the “social” aspect of social distancing. Keeping a safe physical distance between one another does not prevent us from remaining close as a community. A mask will not keep us from smiling. And a wave and a warm greeting is almost as good as a hug.

I understand that this pandemic is unknown territory for us. I understand that the unknown is frightening. But I also understand that the best way to work through a crisis is by pulling together as a community. Our community has survived hurricanes and tornadoes.

We have worked through rip currents and shark attacks. We have faced adversity and we have come out stronger because of it. We will get through this pandemic. We will get through this together.

seasonal Lifeguard/Ocean Rescue Service to our citizens and visitors. Lifeguards are stationed at three Towers along the main Circle beach strand, in front of Atlantic Blvd., along with roving Lifeguards. The entire Atlantic Beach strand, from Fort Macon State Park on the East to the Doubletree on the West, is patrolled by Lifeguards on ATV’s during weekends and holidays. Lifeguards provide basic first aid, response to water rescues, and public education of beach and ocean hazards to beach visitors.

Atlantic Beach has increased the visibility of beach warning flags to alert beach visitors of ocean current/surf conditions throughout the day. Warning flags are placed every 1/8

mile along the entire beach strand and at each Lifeguard Tower with a larger, more prominent flag at the main Center Tower at the Circle All Towns on the Bogue Banks Island are now utilizing a beach warning flag system that is consistent and compliant with the International Life Saving Federation (ILSF) and the United States Life Saving Association (USLA). Ocean and Beach Safety is an ongoing priority of all Bogue Banks Towns who are constantly working together to provide emergency services and public education. Additionally, the Town of Atlantic Beach has partnered with and endorses the “Float, Don’t Fight” campaign that advocates ocean safety with a

simple message: “Bring a Float, Grab a Float, Be a Float!”

Ali Joy is the Sponsor of “Float Don’t Fight,” a campaign to drive awareness on how to survive a rip current. After losing her husband Father’s Day weekend of 2018, when he saved their twin girls from a rip current in Atlantic Beach, Ali is spreading the message on how she and her daughters survived.

Her mission is to transform how people enjoy the beach.

If you 1) Bring a float to the beach; 2) Grab a float before you run in; and/or 3) Be a float if you don’t have one, you will increase your chances of survival.

Organic vs Free Range vs Natural

R

ecently I had the privilege of speaking to Rachel Shenk from Shenk Family Farms via zoom about the benefits of buying locally. Rachel, her husband Joe and sweet little boy work tirelessly tending to their chicken and ducks.

As a dietitian I had so many questions regarding animals and the difference between the big labels. We opened the discussion with Rachel educating me on the difference between free range, organic and natural. Did you know free range can be labeled as such as long as the animals is exposed to the outside for 5 minutes? And that doesn’t always mean they are “roaming” but that they are just outside.

Rachel discussed how her animals roam free most of the time and have a lot of space, which is not common among the larger operations.

Offering additional space and extra roaming time is costly and for bigger operations can drive costs up.

Next, we moved on to natural and organic by discussing what the USDA “Seal of Certified Organic” really means. Rachel explained the rigorous testing and high cost associated with obtaining the label. This includes the type of feed given to the animals. The organic labeled food costs more because the farmers had to go through the same testing to receive their USDA organic seal. The Shenk’s have looked into obtaining the organic label but it would drive cost up and one of their missions is to offer locally sustained food free of chemicals and antibiotics at an affordable cost. I must insert how much I love this part of the Shenks; they love what they do, and it shows!

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2020

We wrapped up our conversation by discussing how grain quality and harvesting techniques influence taste. In school we learned how stress during harvesting animals and quality of the animals feed can change the taste of the meat. Higher stress and poor-quality grain can make the meat taste acidic or sour. The animals on the Shenk farm are fed high quality, local grain made according to Joe Shenk’s rigorous standards. Lastly, when harvesting the animals Rachel emphasizes it is done with respect and compassion. Her family is thankful the meat is able to feed so many local families.

A common theme to questions I am asked during speaking engagements around our community “Does organic matter?” I am even more steadfast in my answer since speaking to the Shenk’s. Yes, it does. But, do you need to buy USDA organic? Not necessarily. My personal opinion is to ask yourself “what is important to you?” I know for me it is sustainability, reducing carbon footprint, compassion for animals and quality grain fed to the animals matters most to me. I love the idea of being able to schedule a tour at the farm where my meat is raised. Therefore, I do not personally need them to be USDA organic, because local and trusted is a better fit for my family than USDA from 10,000 miles away.

Soap or Hand Sanitizer In the wake of the global COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020, millions of people across the globe found themselves scrambling for hand sanitizer. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that cleaning hands at key times is one of the most important steps people can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs, there are differences between washing with soap and water and washing with alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

The CDC notes that preventing the spread of sickness through handwashing is most effective when people know which method to use when cleaning their hands.

When to use soap and water The following are common situations when the CDC advises using soap and water to clean hands: • Before, during and after preparing food • Before eating food • Before and after caring for someone who is sick • Before and after treating a cut or wound • After using the bathroom, changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the bathroom • After blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing • After touching an animal, animal food or treats, animal cages, or animal waste • After touching garbage • If your hands are visibly dirty or greasy When washing with soap and water, the CDC advises people to wet

their hands with clean running water (warm or cold) and applying soap.

Lather the hands by rubbing them together with the soap, making sure to scrub all surfaces of the hands, including palms, backs, fingers, between fingers, and under the nails. Scrub for 20 seconds before rinsing hands clean under running water and drying your hands, be it with a clean towel or air drying.

Hand sanitizer should not be applied to hands that are dirty or greasy. Hands that become dirty or greasy after activities such as gardening or fishing should be cleaned with soap and water. The CDC advises using alcohol-based hand sanitizer: • Before and after visiting a friend or a loved one in a hospital or nursing home, unless the person is sick with Clostridium difficile (if so, use soap and water to wash hands).

• If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol, and wash with soap and water as soon as you can.

Children should always be supervised when applying alcohol-based hand sanitizer. When using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, the CDC recommends covering all surfaces of the hands with the product before rubbing hands together until they feel dry, which should happen after roughly 20 seconds.

Clean hands can prevent the spread of disease. Knowing which hand cleaner to use in certain situations can be an especially important preventative measure.

Devoted

By Dean Koontz Dean Koontz has sold over 500 million copies of his novels. He is now 74 years old and lives with his wife and their golden retriever in southern California. He is a dog lover. “Devoted” is not his first story about an amazing dog but possibly his most imaginative one. There is perhaps no modern author who has a keener imagination than Koontz.

Kipp is a golden retriever who has the ability to think and feel as humans do. That is not to say other dogs do not have human traits, but Kipp is uniquely gifted. Woody is an autistic 11-year-old boy with an IQ of 186. Woody has not spoken a word in his life but he can communicate with Kipp through telepathy.

If all of this is not weird enough Koontz introduces an evil man who is coming after Woody and his mother, the most malicious of villains.

“Devoted” is a thrilling story with a cast of extraordinary characters, possibly too many to keep up with. The author is an expert in the bizarre. That said, this a moving story filled with love and hope, loss and rediscovery. One line embraces the heart of the novel, “Love was the best thing when you had it, and the most terrible thing when it was taken from you.” Dread moves the plot here, but somehow the reader is prompted to keep moving ahead with a measure of hope.

Those who have read Dean Koontz are aware that he is a genius in descriptive sentences and paragraphs as well as a talented mystery writer. More intriguing than the power of the story in this book is the gift of great writing by a skilled practitioner. The following is a sample of one paragraph which is only one of many such scenes which demonstrate an artist in action: “The moon floated in the west, not yet behind those mountains, as radiant as some exotic jellyfish in the sea of space, and the sky twinkled with more stars than Woody could count in a lifetime.”

Like most good thrillers this one captures the reader’s need to do two things. One is to put the book down so as to not witness the next gruesome event. The other is to keep reading because you must find out how the heroes survive the onslaught, if they do.

If you can’t stand the suspense then don’t read this novel. If you crave thrills then you will not want to put this one down. This book is weird, emotional, insightful, and everything you expect from Dean Koontz.

history banks

PKS Marks the Spot where Verrazzano Came Ashore Pine Knoll Shores Marks the Spot Where Verrazzano Came Ashore The first European explorer to sail up the coast of North America in 1524 … and the first person to chart the shoreline that would define North Carolina … was Giovanni da Verrazzano.

His significance in American history is documented by the State of North Carolina, which in 1986 approved the installation of a historic marker in Pine Knoll Shores at the intersection of N.C. Highway 58 and Pine Knoll Boulevard.

Verrazzano was born “of noble parentage” in 1485 at “the family villa” in Val di Greve, Italy, about 30 miles from Florence. In 1506, he moved to Dieppe, France, on the southern shore of the English Channel, to become a mariner and navigator.

Verrazzano sailed to the Newfoundland area in Canada with French explorer Thomas Aubert (probably in 1508) and explored the St. Lawrence River.

Additionally, Verrazzano made several journeys into the Mediterranean Sea, exploring the lands of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt.

As an associate of the infamous French pirate Jean Fleury, Verrazzano was also known to raid Spanish vessels, relieving their captains of treasure chests full of gold and jewels for deposit into the bank account of France’s King Francis I (François).

The king rewarded Verrazzano by selecting him in 1523 to lead the first French exploratory voyage to the New World. France had some catching up to do. Spain, Portugal and England were the kingpins of global exploration and colonization during the 16th century.

Verrazzano was tasked with finding the “secret passageway” to China. Those who had tried before included stellar explorers such as Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, Juan Ponce de León and John Cabot.

Verrazzano sighted land in the New World at the mouth of the Cape Fear River in March 1524. From there, Verrazzano initially sailed south toward Florida, but to avoid any encounter with the Spaniards,” he looped back around in the vicinity of Charleston, S.C., and headed north, following the contour of the coastline.

North Carolina’s Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR), which administers the state’s roadside historical marker program, determined that the “most likely location” for Verrazzano to have come ashore was in the middle of Bogue Banks.

In narrative description for the Verrazzano marker, DNCR quotes the explorer as having written to the French crown: “We 30

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2020

departed this place (Cape Fear) still running along the coast, which we found to trend toward the east.”

The state archivist determined: “The Pine Knoll Shores site on Bogue Banks is the only spot along the explorer’s route where

the land ‘trend[s]’ toward the east.”

Pine Knoll Shores historians Barbara Milhaven and Phyllis Makuck wrote that Verrazzano “may not be as well-known as other explorers who came to the coast of North America. But, thanks to the historic marker, we remember him here in Pine Knoll Shores.”

“We also appreciate his descriptions of the natural beauty he saw and the natives he encountered when he first came ashore,” whom he found to be friendly, they added.

Verrazzano reported seeing great campfires on Bogue Banks, attributed to “the multitude of inhabitants.” In search of drinking water, a boat carried 25 men to shore. The native Americans who greeted the explorers were of the Algonquian linguistics group, most likely affiliated with the Croatan, Coree or Neusiok tribes.

Author Hugh Talmage Lefler translated Verrazzano’s letters to read that many of the natives came to the seaside to rejoice and offered the Europeans “victuals to eat.”

Beyond the beach and dunes, Verrazzano described seeing “beautiful fields and plains full of great forests. The trees have so many colors, and are so beautiful and delightful that they defy description.”

He saw “deer, hares and waterfowl” as well as “plentiful grapes, roses, violets, lilies and many sorts of herbs ... and odoriferous flowers different from ours (in Europe).”

Pamlico Sound Thought to be ‘Gateway to Far East’ After a quick stopover in what is now present-day Pine Knoll Shores, Giovanni da Verrazzano and his crew shoved off to travel up the coast of North Carolina in 1524 in search of the waterway that would lead directly to the Far East.

The late Wynne Townsend Dough, writing for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library’s NCPedia website, said Verrazzano entered the “Pamlico Sound lagoon” on March 25, the date each year when the Roman Catholic Church observes the “Feast of the Annunciation.” (This religious celebration commemorates the visit of the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, at which time he informed her that she would be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.) In reverence, Verrazzano named the waters and the island strands of the Outer Banks between Cape Lookout and Cape Hatteras as “Annunciata.”

He truly believed he had discovered an isthmus that separated the Atlantic Ocean from an entry into the Pacific Ocean.

In actuality, Verrazzano was confused. He made the assumption that the saltwater body of water that he saw before him was the beginning of a new sea or ocean.

Had he sailed west across the Pamlico Sound toward the mainland, he may have figured it out.

In the book “The Mismapping of America,” published in 2003, author Dr. Seymour I. Schwartz reported that the Pamlico Sound became commonly known as the “False Sea of Verrazzano.”

Verrazzano was “on the clock,” however, with limited supplies.

He could ill-afford to dawdle, so he launched back out to open waters, sailing northward and looking for other potential passageways to the Oriental markets.

Verrazzano traveled all the way to Newfoundland in Canada.

From there, he returned to Dieppe, France, arriving back home on July 8, 1524. He was content that he had named the entire region – from North Carolina to Newfoundland – as “Francesca,” in honor of France’s King Francis I. However, Girolamo Verrazzano, a younger brother, who was the ship’s mapmaker, chose to label the territory as “Nova Gallia” (New France).

Thomas M. Glasgow, Jr., a contributor to the NCPedia.com website, said King Francis I was rather “unimpressed with the plants and mineral samples” that Verrazzano brought back from his journey to the New World.

It seems “his majesty” had expected a far greater return on investment – sparkling gems, not ordinary minerals, Glasgow

noted.

Verrazzano would lead two more voyages under the French flag. In 1527, he sailed from Honfleur, where the Seine River flows into the English Channel, to the shores of South America – still hoping to find that magical passageway to the Orient.

He explored parts of the Amazon River and made it all the way to the southern tip of the continent in Chile. Verrazzano entered the Strait of Magellan but chose not to attempt to navigate passing through the narrows to reach the Pacific Ocean.

He attempted to sail around Cape Horn at the bottom of South America, but was driven back by treacherous winds and waves.

Wisely, Verrazzano chose to return to France with a cargo of Brazilwood, valued by Europeans in the making of red dye.

Verrazzano set off on his “final voyage” in 1528, departing from Dieppe, France. Still in pursuit on the passage to Asia, he sailed to Florida. From there, he changed direction and drifted to the southeast, exploring the Bahamas and the Lesser Antilles – a small group of islands in the Caribbean Sea. He ventured ashore on Guadeloupe. It proved to be fatal misstep, for the natives there were not friendly. Verrazzano was captured and brutally murdered.

Some historians think the story has a different plot, but the same tragic ending. They believed Giovanni da Verrazzano was also the pirate named Jean Florentine or Jean Florin, one of the original French pirates of the Caribbean.

In the end, the Spaniards hanged him for high crimes on the high seas.

Pollinators Play an Important Role A thriving backyard garden requires homeowners to take steps to ensure the garden has the best environment in which to grow and thrive. The right tools and components, including trowels, rakes, soil, amendments, and fertilizer, can help gardeners create beautiful spaces. It’s also important that pollinators are made to feel welcome in the garden.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that one-third of all agricultural output depends on pollinators. The USDA notes that insects and other animal pollinators are vital to the production of healthy crops for food, fibers, edible oils, medicines, and other products. Pollinators also are essential for maintaining habitats and ecosystems that many wild animals rely on for food and shelter.

The U.S. Forest Service says that, without pollinators, the human race and all of the earth’s terrestrial ecosystems would not survive.

Pollination done the natural way often yields large, flavorful fruits.

Pollinators are make-or-break components of large-scale agriculture, and they’re just as important in private home gardens.

The Pollinator Partnership, an organization that works to protect pollinators and their habitats across North America, says pollinators

include bees, butterflies, beetles, birds, and bats. These animals travel from plant to plant carrying pollen on their bodies. The following are some ways to maintain healthy pollinator habitats.  Consider the soil and types of plants that will thrive in it before choosing what to plant. Fix drainage issues and plant with sunlight in mind.  Vary the colors and shapes of plants to attract a greater array of pollinators. Plant flowers close to vegetable gardens to attract pollinators.  Group plants together when planting to more effectively attract pollinators.  Select plants that flower at different times of the year so that nectar and pollen sources are available year-round.  Whenever possible, choose native plants.  Avoid the use of pesticides.  Provide a water source for pollinators, such as a shallow dish with stones half-submerged for perching.

Pollinators are important for gardens, whether those gardens are commercial operations or small backyard plots. Allow pollinators to share spaces and be mindful of behaviors that can threaten their survival.

power squadron news

Cape Lookout National Seashore Clean Up America’s Boating Club (ABC) of the Crystal Coast partnered with the Cape Lookout National Seashore to clean up and remove debris left by both hurricanes Florence and Dorian. Members met at park headquarters to load an all-terrain vehicle, trash bags, and containers on a park service Landing Craft Medium (LCM).

Dr. Sue Stuska of the park service was the overall operational volunteer supervisor on and off site working with Commander David Gerhart and Executive Officer David Aitken. The NPS-Cape Lookout has no formal cleanup program, however, America’s Boating Club of the Crystal Coast executed a volunteer service activity agreement with the NPS and adopted a large area around Gehrman’s Pond Trail (Wade Shore area) of Shackelford Banks.

The squadron members made several trips over time in member boats to Shackelford and collected, removed and bagged trash.

Beginning in October 2019, club members collected big items and large wood debris and created piles near the beach for later pickup pictured above. Nine club members loaded the LCM at Shackelford Banks and unloaded the LCM at park headquarters on Harkers Island.

Commander Gerhart commented, “After unloading at Harkers Island on March 4, 2020, it was estimated we may have removed as much as 5 tons that day. There is still plenty of smaller debris, and it washes up daily. We encourage all boaters to join the effort and pick up some debris every time they visit anywhere on our Seashore.”

at the aquarium N.C. Aquariums Closed But Still Caring While many people in the state are home caring for their families, the NC Aquariums are caring for theirs. Despite closing the doors to the public to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 more than a month ago, staff continues to provide continuous care for thousands of animals. Additionally, teams at each site, Fort Fisher, Pine Knoll Shores, Roanoke Island and Jennette’s Pier, are exploring new ways to engage with those observing Governor Roy Cooper’s stay-at-home orders.

“This has been a challenging time. Aquariums and zoos across the nation and around the world have adapted and continue to adapt to the changing health crisis,” said Maylon White, NC Aquarium Division director. “I am proud of the hard work our staff have done to continue to provide excellent care for our animals, as well as to stay connected to our visitors.”

Specific staff members have had limited access to the aquariums beginning immediately after public operations were suspended on March 17. Staff identified as essential were split into two teams, working alternate schedules to assist with the care of animals and maintenance of each aquarium. Other staff members began work from home to help with ongoing operations.

“This is a time of planning and adjusting for the aquariums,” said Hap Fatzinger, director of NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher. “Our

dedicated team members are adapting to new safety protocols like social distancing and frequent disinfection, providing animal care seven days a week and continuing critical operations. Some staff are also stepping into new roles on our Essential Operations Teams.”

Normally, Joanna Zazzali, Visitors Services Coordinator, manages ticketing, admissions and security at Fort Fisher.

Currently, she is serving on Fort Fisher’s Essential Operations Team A, with her days filled assisting trained husbandry staff in caring for the animals, from prepping food for sea turtles to hand feeding stingrays.

“I appreciate more than ever before all that is required to care for the animals living at the aquariums,” said Zazzali. “It’s hard work but I’m so happy I can contribute in this way.”

While some staff are taking on new roles, others are learning new ways to continue conducting their daily responsibilities from home, like producing educational videos posted on the aquariums’ and pier’s social media sites.

“This has certainly been a unique time but also fun and allowed us to be creative. It has provided an opportunity to not only connect with individuals who normally come to the aquarium, but we are able to share with people around the world. Even though we are apart we are still able to connect and share what we love – our love of animals and the environment,” said Nicole Warren,

an educator and bird trainer with the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. “This is going to make us better in the long run.”

Aquarium staff from across the division have also worked to maintain the buildings and grounds.

“We are making the best out of a difficult situation by continuing to maintain and provide needed improvements to the aquarium’s facility,” said Allen McDowell, associate director of the Aquarium on Roanoke Island. “Upgrading systems such as our chillers, boilers and air handlers ensures the animals’ habitats are safely maintained within ideal environmental conditions.”

“We are also making improvements to our electrical systems to improve our emergency capabilities in the future,” McDowell said. “Throughout this, staff is maintaining thorough cleaning and sterilization of all surfaces for the safety of our staff and animals.”

Jennette’s Pier Director Mike Remige said staff are working diligently on maintenance projects to prepare for the summer

season while still completing a long list of repairs from Hurricane Dorian.

Remige added that pier staff continue to stay engaged with the community.

“We’re still producing educational content and posting it online so it’s available for teachers and students who are learning from home,” he said. “And staff are still heavily involved as first responders for the Outer Banks Marine Mammal Stranding Network.”

Most importantly, however, he’s ready for visitors to return.

“I’m looking forward to welcoming everyone back one day,” Remige said.

The American Flag National flags serve to unite citizens of a given country. Flags wave proudly in front of government buildings and schools, and they also identify athletes during international sporting competitions. In many countries, flags also serve as symbols of honor for members of the military and their families.

For more than 200 years, the American flag has been a symbol of unity and pride in the United States. The red, white and blue flag has a storied history and has gone through various incarnations.

The following are some of the more interesting facts about the American flag.

Six different flag designs were flown before Betsy Ross announced that she had sewn the official American flag. These designs included a series of alternating red and white stripes, the Liberty Tree, the Sons of Liberty, and the Forester flag designs.

The Continental Army once used a flag featuring a snake with the mantra “Don’t Tread on Me.” On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress proposed and passed the Flag Act of 1777. This resolution was designed to facilitate the creation of an official flag for a nation that was aiming to earn its independence from Great Britain. The flag was to have thirteen stripes, alternating red and white, with thirteen white stars on a blue field. The thirteen stars signified the original members of the Union.

The American flag remained unchanged until 1795, when the stripes and stars were increased to 15 for the addition of Kentucky and Vermont to the Union.

After seeing the new 15-star and striped flag flying over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem that would eventually become the nation’s national anthem.

A sea captain from Massachusetts named William Driver named a large, 10-foot-by-17-foot flag “Old Glory” after it survived multiple defacing attempts during the American Civil War. Driver’s nickname of the flag inspired the name to be used for all American flags.

Although Flag Day was established as a formal national holiday in 1949, it was not made a federal holiday. Flag Day is only an official holiday in the state of Pennsylvania. This may be fitting because legend holds that Betsy Ross sewed the first flag in Pennsylvania.

Today’s flag features the original 13 alternating white and red stripes (in 1818, another design went into effect, permanently setting the number of stripes at 13 in honor of the original colonies) and 50 stars to represent the states of the Union. The colors of the flag signify as follows: red for hardiness and valor, white for purity and innocence, and blue for vigilance, perseverance and justice.

The Color Association of the United States creates the palette of colors used for both private and public institutions and the US Army. Mass-market flag manufacturers tend to use Pantone Matching Shade of Dark Red (193 C) and Navy Blue (281 C).

The American flag has been a fixture of the United States for centuries and continues to serve as a symbol of pride, valor and history.

mayor's notes

Pine Knoll Shores Mayor Ken Jones

Take Advantage Editor's Note: Mayor Jones submitted this column to the Island Review prior to his death. We felt that printing his words for the community was the best way to honor him.

T

his phrase certainly has a bad connotation! It can be negative or positive. Is the glass half full, or half empty?

These days especially, we want to focus on the positive of course!

During these days of drastic change to our everyday lives, we hear more and more about people making personal sacrifices for the good of other people, the economy, schools, parents and each other for the survival of all. We hear the phrase “new normal” so continuously we’re ready to scream! Many of you have had to stretch your role as mother or father to teacher and homeschooler.

Let’s try to look at the bigger picture and look for ways not to get so frustrated. I know at times the truth is hard to listen to.

But usually the truth in life is what we need to hear. Having rights doesn’t come without additional responsibility.

Is one right more important than another right? Or does it depend on your personal circumstance at hand? I have freedom, but I also have a responsibility on how to keep that freedom.

Does my freedom give me the right to do something bad to you?

Of course not. That’s not reasonable. So for the good of society as a whole, my rights are sometimes limited. I would hope that if there was poison in the air, someone would limit my freedom and keep me out of that area and away from the poison. Would I give a little freedom to keep out of the infected area and stay alive? I love my freedom as much as you do.

I have noticed, as I’m sure you have, a lot more people out walking and bike riding. They are taking advantage of this time and exercising. I’m not sure if it’s because of frustrations of these times, but I’m sure most are doing this for exercise as well. I’ve said to a few of you, that I think the mortality tables will have to be re-evaluated, mostly because this time of critical health concerns, people exercised and increased their life expectancies.

No matter the weather, it’s a great time in Pine Knoll Shores!

I’m hoping, probably as you are, that these cooler spring temperatures will keep the ocean waters cooler longer and provide us a little tropical relief later this year. Any way you look at it, it’s a great time to be in Pine Knoll Shores!

pks club news PKS Women’s Club

PKS Garden Club

What an end to our year! No one could have predicted we would cancel the Fashion Show, Installation luncheon and the rest of our year in Women’s Club. This coronavirus has disrupted many lives, but the women of the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club are making the most of it. They are as always troopers!

Once we realized there would not be a Fashion Show this year, Amy Hahn, one of the committee members agreed to put all the collected items for the auction online for a silent auction.

Amy worked tirelessly on this and she is not even a member. She graciously helps us with administrative needs as requested. A special shout out to Amy for her help from all of us! In addition, many who bought tickets this year donated the money to our causes! We are so grateful for their generosity! This has allowed us to support our charities as we usually do. Thank you from all of us.

Speaking of gratefulness, our current slate of officers agreed to serve another year to smooth the transition. Thanks to all of them for their continued support. We will install them at our September meeting.

I asked members how they are passing their time during this pandemic and Stay at Home order from Gov. Cooper. I am so very proud of them. Many have used this time to help others by calling on our more elderly members, members of their churches, friends, and relatives and one member is spending time crocheting prayer shawls. Some are taking meals to friends and others are helping with donations to area charities that distribute food. Gardening is happening also. One member has even planted a neighborhood garden. She’s also creating beauty with butterflies by planting a milkweed plant and then watching the caterpillars turn in to butterflies.

Everyone is trying to exercise a little and we all are eating for sure! Many of us are cooking every day and this is quite unusual for some of us. Most of us are reading, looking at the ocean, walking, playing games and some even putting puzzles together.

We have such varied interests in our club! One of our members was watching their grandson pitch a game in Florida when the NCAA shut down the season. They drove back to North Carolina and knew there was a toilet paper shortage. She stopped at convenience stores on the way home and bought a roll of toilet paper each time. LOL! Please remember to stay safe. Let’s hope the month of June will bring beautiful weather and a healthy community with continued cautionary measures for being safe. Enjoy time with your friends and loved ones and we will be back together as soon as we can!

Members of Pine Knoll Shores and Emerald Isle Garden Cub along with guests from women’s Clubs and others, left town hall at 6:30am on Wednesday, March 11, for an adventure to Manteo to visit the Elizabethan Gardens.

With only 25 miles left to go, the bus came to a complete stop in traffic as a result of a collision on the Alligator River Bridge. After hearing that the bridge would be closed for three hours, our driver, Julie, made a three-point turn on a two-lane highway to turn around (was enthusiastically applauded for her skills), and headed the long way around to Manteo. Instead of arriving at 10, we pulled into the gardens at 12:30.

Despite our late arrival, the staff was very accommodating. We had our “Lunch and Learn” talk by Charlie who provided us with lots of background information on the gardens, the Lost Colony and Virginia Dare. Afterwards, we had a guided tour around the gardens. The blooming camelias were in abundance, and the staff has been busy getting all of the gardens back in order especially after the two hurricanes. There are many interesting architectural pieces throughout the area. We found the brick that the garden club donated to the gardens. Members were able to purchase clippings of various plants from the garden specimens. The bus returned to town hall at 8:30pm. It was a long, but fun day! Thanks to Kathy Blowers and the hospitality crew for making this enjoyable trip possible and entertaining.

The slate of officers for next year have been unanimously approved by the membership in an email vote. Officers for next year include co-presidents, Kathy Blowers and Gina Harris; co-first vice presidents, Linda Pearson and Arleen Terrell; co-second vice presidents, Toni Cox and Lisa Park; treasurer, Barb Yankaukas; corresponding secretary, Linda Corsmeier; and recording secretary, Michelle Powers. Congratulations, ladies! We are happy to have accepted eleven new garden club members this year.

The District 11 meeting May 27 was cancelled.

Members have been working individually and safely at our town gardens as they plant, weed and spread mulch and pine straw.

Meetings, our Arbor Day celebration and our luncheon in May were all cancelled.

Please see us on Facebook, PineKnollShoresGardenClub. If you should have any questions or need information, please email PKSGardenClub@gmail.com. We welcome guests to our meetings, so come grow with us!

rental signs

Julia Batten Wax Owner, Emerald Isle Realty

Location, Location, Location is now Cleanliness, Cleanliness, Cleanliness

I

n those sweet days prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number one question for our vacation planners was, “Is this cottage oceanfront?” Today, the number one question is “Will you please describe your new cleaning protocol to ensure my family will be safe from the coronavirus?” Cleanliness now trumps location as the most sought after attribute.

When the North Carolina Stay at Home Order went into effect, admittedly my first thought was not the enormous sacrifices that were about to occur on a personal as well as a global level. Instead, I could envision the gentle consolation of working from home with my husband of 46 years, Mark, who is also my business partner and co-owner of Emerald Isle Realty.

We happily lean in to the simple joys of home, embrace our natural bend toward introversion, and love nothing better than cooking together. With April coming, I looked forward to plunging my hands into black topsoil as I readied my large cobalt blue pots for planting basil, rosemary and lavender on our south facing deck.

I would while away hours in a sunny chair reading fascinating books of fiction and non-fiction.

Then, approximately 15 minutes later, my quarantine fantasy was over and I have immersed myself since in reading what feels like half a million words of COVID-19 news articles, medical articles and hospitality industry updates in order to develop new, best practices for our vacation rental homes. My incredible managers, who have worked tirelessly with me to devise these policies, would also add they have helped edit and proofread thousands of words I have written for web bulletins and newsletters to keep our audience of homeowners and rental guests informed.

There is a comforting legacy to welcoming vacation rental guests for almost 60 years; it is in our DNA as a company to offer that rare service level where divining what a rental guest is seeking means every aspect of their stay is approached with empathy. As a mother and as a grandmother, I thought first about what my family would be seeking when ready to travel once the Stay at Home Order was lifted.

Two service opportunities emerged from the clarity of this vision that have since become the core of our message to our arriving guests.

The first is extraordinary cleaning and the second is an innovative approach to providing freshly washed and sanitized bed coverings for arriving rental guests.

A quick word about extraordinary cleaning in the time of COVID-19. There is an excellent organization, Vacation Rental Housekeeping Professionals (VRHP) that has been invaluable in helping us train our housekeepers for the past 20 or so years. They have provided an exceptional summary of what the best practices for departure cleans are in this pandemic era. The details, EPA product recommendations and techniques, many of which were standard cleaning protocols even before COVID-19, are now part of our enhanced cleaning protocols to reassure our arriving rental guests we have thought of everything so they can enjoy a welcome respite at the beach. For every hotel, resort or vacation rental company during this pandemic season, promising cleanliness and delivering on that service promise is imperative to ensure guests will feel safe choosing to travel outside of their home for an overnight stay.

The Emerald Isle Realty service opportunity that is the most innovative and ambitious is the No Worries Bedding option. A 46

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2020

bedding program that we would have preferred having six months to design, source, price and implement we have launched in less than 6 weeks as our way to show nervous and fearful rental guests they truly will be safe while on vacation in one of the beach cottages and condos that we professionally manage. Our homeowners and rental guests will no longer have to fear arriving to a bed covering that has not been cleaned after the previous guest departed. Our homeowners and guests will arrive to a freshly laundered comforter or triple sheeted option, ensuring the sweet rest of a good night’s sleep. There is a purity and a minimalistic quality to arriving to pristine white bed coverings during this season of COVID-19. Our homeowners recognize that in such unprecedented times, innovative solutions were needed to ensure strong reservations for our vacation rental homes this year. Their support has been incredible and much appreciated.

As we launched our welcome back message describing our extraordinary cleaning and No Worries Bedding to our vacation rental guests in mid-May, most gratifying of all was the surge in telephone calls to our reservation team. In the early weeks of the pandemic, our incoming calls were pacing at 60% requests for information on cancellation policies and 40% for new reservations. With our promise of cleanliness, cleanliness, cleanliness, our incoming calls are now pacing at 80% requests for new reservations and only 20% still discussing COVID-19 related cancellation. Although, sadly, many of our long time rental guests will not be able to travel this year because of being in one of the at risk categories, those cancellations are re-renting at a very encouraging pace also.

A final word of kudos, we could not be doing this without our housekeepers – our heroes and truly our essential workers. Show your appreciation for your housekeeper in every way you can, this year more than ever.

Solution on page 61

JUNE ARIES (March 21-April 20) Your strong will and courage makes you capable of anything, Aries. Just be sure to use your powers for good; otherwise, it can be easy to get in over your head. When faced with too many options, you may have difficulty making a final decision. This is when you may need to bring in a second opinion. You may feel like giving a romantic partner an ultimatum of some sort this month. Things have been on your mind, but you are better off taking a gentle approach. News from loved ones may catch you off guard, but could nevertheless make you feel excited. This is a sign from the universe that some part of life will change.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Add an extra

dash of charm to your requests. You just may find that things go your way a little more easily. Have a partner work with you on a fun task. Don’t let indecisiveness get in your way, Taurus. You really know what you want deep down, so put those plans into action as soon as you can. Others may come along for the ride. Take practical steps toward your goals so you don’t get overwhelmed by all the things on your plate. Later in the month you may get a reprieve from all the work.

Toward the end of the month you may feel like opening your heart to others. Show a close friend that you care about him or her, or really further your connection with a romantic partner.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Gemini, inspiration flourishes and you may feel some romantic sparks grow as well. Your senses are enhanced by all the things you experience around you. 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 over time.

Various distractions may pop up in the days to come. Figure out a way to filter through all of the outside noise so you can quiet your mind for important tasks. A busy work schedule may be making things seem more hectic than usual. It’s easy to become overwhelmed if you do not find strategies to calm your mind each day.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) This month your efforts to take care of home and family will pay off in big ways, Cancer. You have a knack for maintaining peace and tranquility even when situations are hazy. Don’t put too many eggs in one basket. Look for different opportunities to diversify your skill set and make yourself more attractive to both acquaintances and employers.

Shared commitments could weigh on you mid-month. Domestic matters need to be prioritized. Tasks shared at work need to have firm deadlines so goals can be met.

Powerful feelings of affection may build up in you by the end of the month. You may be taking inventory of how you feel about 58

loved ones. Share grand gestures and loving words.

looking over old photographs or playing family movies.

LEO (July 23-August 23) This month you may be examining your relationships and seeing which areas have room for improvement. This is your opportunity to really make some important changes.

There is little point focusing all your energy on a situation that you know will not go in your favor, Leo. Instead, start zeroing in on a different project or task. A to-do list at home could be hovering over you. Don’t feel pressured to tackle everything at once.

Prioritize the most needy projects, and then cross off jobs as they’re done. You may get encouragement from an unlikely at the end of the month. This can inspire you to conduct an in-depth exploration of long-term goals.

Embark on a new journey

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21)

VIRGO (August 24-September 22) Virgo,

a situation arises that can bring you a muchneeded financial boost. This boost is a result of the hard work that you’ve put in over the last several weeks. Creative pursuits are keeping you busy. While they may fill the hours, figure out a way to turn hobbies into something profitable. You may need the money soon enough. Try to propel yourself toward fulfillment. This means whatever task you can complete – however small – will create some positive vibes. It is alright to feel shy or inhibited sometimes. Uncertainty over long-term plans could be driving these emotions. Once you get your thoughts on paper, you can proceed.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) Lately

you may be feeling more emotional. Talk about your feelings with someone close to you. Sometimes speaking about things can help you sort through everything. It is hard to foster tight relationships when you do not actively work on them, Libra. Sometimes you need to take the lead and initiate contact with others. If it feels like you’re lacking inspiration lately, you just may need to broaden your horizons a bit. Travel to a new city or town, or listen to new music for a change. A desire to add life to your routine could motivate you to find new activities to explore. Infuse your daily schedule with doses of creativity.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22)

Listen to your dreams, Scorpio. They will guide you where you really want to go in life.

Explore all the possibilities that come your way. Don’t be too hard on yourself if some poor news at work seems to be directly related to one of your assignments. You were only one factor in this situation. You may get a welcome reprieve from situations that have been especially draining. This frees you up for some socialization and fun. This month you may feel sentimental and nostalgic. Perhaps you will reminisce about your childhood by

Sagittarius, if you have been in a sociable mood, then embrace every opportunity to gather with friends or family safely when the opportunity presents itself. Take as many moments as you can steal for yourself in the days to come. Soon enough you will be too busy to sit and relax for any amount of time.

A lucky break may be heading your way that can help you realize your financial goals. All you may need is a push to get started. You feel content with yourself and life and that is great. An ability to look within with a practice like meditation may contribute to this serene state of mind.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20)

This is a great time to take credit for all of the things you have accomplished lately. You will gain traction on projects and may even be able to take on new ones. Friends certainly have your back. You must be willing to accept their assistance in your time of need. Even though you’re a giver by nature, accept the help. Stress or concerns about professional issues may be compromising your ability to concentrate at times. Make sure you address all of your obligations. Figuring out how to resolve issues in a relationship may leave you feeling somewhat unsettled, Capricorn.

It might be that you do not want to approach sensitive topics.

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18)

A goal to learn as much as possible is drawing you to the people who can offer you important life lessons. Take opportunities to engage in philosophical debates. It may be up to you to step up and make up some of the financial deficit in your household when you get news that affects everyone. You can quickly recover. Vision and drive have you going in a direction you never imagined.

It may be a bumpy start, but expect some smooth sailing soon as you eke out new goals. Excitement about business or work goals might make you feel like taking some dynamic action to promote your ideas to higher ups, Aquarius. You may find a receptive audience.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Pisces, a hint that comes your way from a friend or coworker can be the clue that you need to achieve a goal that has thus far been out of reach. New career goals may have to be put on hold for the time being. Another issue takes precedence at the moment. Doubts may be plaguing you and you’re really not sure why. A confidence boost may be all you need to set you straight. Try collaborating on a fun project. Check to see if anyone needs assistance if you don’t have your own project in mind.

Teaching Children About Money Like many of you, I have had the opportunity to raise two children. At some point, when withdrawing money from the ATM or swiping your credit card, you will have to explain to your children that money does not grow on trees. Below are some tips to help your children understand that they cannot buy whatever they want without ever paying for it. Also, to help them learn how to handle their own money.

Dining out Hopefully we all get to experience this sooner rather than later.

How many times have you noticed that a beverage can run anywhere from $1 to $3 and become frustrated? One solution could be to explain to your children and grandchildren that they can choose the beverage, water, or the amount of money in cash the beverage would have cost. The beauty of this is that you are teaching them about money and also encouraging healthy habits.

Making the concept of visual Most of us are visual learners and a great way to help children organize their finances is to explain that they should divide their money into four different buckets: one for spending, one for saving, one for investing and one for charity. They can share the concept of the compounding effect of growing their savings and investing the way Warren Buffett explained the concept, “Life is like a snowball.

The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill.”

We have increased our children’s financial vocabulary to help them understand concepts such as what buying a stock means, investing, risk, and reward. To apply this new knowledge and maybe

create a little sibling rivalry there are many apps out there that cando virtual stock investing such as InvestingNote or StocksLive.

Watching financial news and having discussions about the stocks that are selected would also be helpful.

A Time Long, Long Ago You can involve older family members who can explain the envelope system where physical money was placed in an envelope and mailed to pay obligations. In most cases the first envelope was savings where the term “pay yourself first” came from. This would also be a good time for a senior family member to share what money was like when they were young and becoming established. While you are at it, ask him what a party line is?

The First Step Once you start with the child’s level of investing knowledge, it’s time for them to get started. You can acquire a stock and have the physical certificate delivered which you can frame and put in the child’s account or use allowance money to purchase shares of stock through an app such as Busykid.
