Native vs. Naturalized Plants

I enjoyed your March issue very much. However, while the positive points of native plants are mentioned several times, I wonder if daylilies are natives (“Daylilies, Decoded,” page 20)?

Yonne Moody, Wilmington

Editor’s note: Great question, Yonne. We posed it to our resident gardening expert, L.A. Jackson: Daylilies are not native — they come to us by way of their homelands in Asia, but have found Carolina Country to be so much to their liking that many species (as well as developed cultivars) have naturalized here, meaning they not only survive but thrive in this “foreign” land, coming back each year and even expanding from base plants. However, the infamous orange-blossomed ditch daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) has been tagged as invasive because it escaped cultivated areas and is often seen overcrowding native vegetation along roadsides. Introduced plants from other countries that play nice within our gardens (meaning they don’t outgrow their allotted space, or escape into the wild by way of seeds or rapidly expanding rhizomes) are considered “naturalized.” Introduced plants that do become botanical brutes are tagged “invasive.” Need a prime example? Think kudzu.

Home Improvement

I feel like I’m always behind on home improvement projects (thankfully I’m blessed with a patient wife), but spring is a good time to get to the hardware store and make things happen. In this issue we’re touching on some energy efficient home improvements that can help lower energy costs — especially if done through a new state rebate program. Learn more on pages 3 and 6.

The BEST Meatloaf

You have outdone yourselves in the March recipes section with the “Patient-pleasing Meatloaf”! I recently served this meatloaf to guests, and both said repeatedly: “It’s the best meatloaf I’ve ever eaten!” And I must agree with them. This meatloaf is absolutely the BEST I have ever made, including the numerous ones made following my mama’s no-fail “Dutch oven meatloaf.” As a retired nurse, I’ve served and eaten hospital food more times than I can count, and I usually don’t consider it to be “patient and staff-pleasing.” I must have missed the hospital where this meatloaf is served.

Highlands is in Macon County, which we misspelled as “Mason County,” and stop for a meal at The Loghouse at Lansing, not The Log Cabin (“Come for a Visit, Stay for a While,” page 10).

The Occoneechee Mountain Loop Trail (“Blossoms Along the Trail,” page 24) is located in the Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area, not Eno River State Park. Both areas are along the Eno River near Hillsborough.

And of course, our highest peak is Mount Mitchell, not “Mountain Mitchell” (page 21). Our apologies all around.

A Path to Energy Efficiency and Savings

As a native North Carolinian who grew up in the mountains of Jackson County, I’ve seen first-hand how important a safe, comfortable and energy affordable home is to families and how communities can work together to make this a reality.

Through my role as the director of the State Energy Office at the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, I’m proud to assist communities across the state through our Weatherization Assistance Program and new federal programs, including the Energy Saver North Carolina program, that will bring energy efficiency upgrades, efficient heating and cooling systems and appliances, and other energy saving resources to those who need it most.

North Carolina’s electric cooperatives have a long history of empowering members to make their homes more energy efficient, helping to reduce monthly bills. The new Energy Saver North Carolina program follows in that tradition, providing a great opportunity for all North Carolina residents to make energy saving upgrades, which can lead to lower energy bills, improved comfort and a more sustainable future.

Upgrading home energy systems and appliances can be expensive, which often stops people from making energy saving home improvements. The Energy Saver NC program aims to help by offering rebates on energy efficient upgrades. From installing new HVAC systems to improving insulation, North Carolinians can use these rebates to cut down on initial costs.

How the program works

Imagine a family struggling with high energy bills because of an old heating and cooling system and poor insulation. Through the Energy Saver North Carolina program, based on their income, this family could upgrade their HVAC system and add new insulation, receiving up to $16,000 in rebates. This would significantly reduce their out-of-pocket expenses.

The process is simple, but does require income verification and some paperwork.

Residents can choose from a list of registered contractors to get started. Once the improvements are complete, the program provides a rebate payment directly to the contractor to help cover the costs. The resident then covers the remaining balance, if any is left. This makes the initial investment more affordable and ensures long-term savings on energy bills.

The benefits of the program go beyond just saving money. Energyefficient homes are more comfortable, with better temperature control and improved air quality. Plus, these upgrades can increase the overall value of a home, making it a smart investment for the future — there are even options for renters.

North Carolina’s electric co-ops have a long history of empowering members to make their homes more energy efficient, helping to reduce monthly bills.

We’re pleased to have launched the Energy Saver North Carolina program this year as an impactful way for North Carolinians to make cost-saving energy efficient upgrades. With a team of energy experts to help walk through each step of the application process, homeowners can get started right way. Together, we can create a more sustainable future for our communities.

Julie Woosley is director of the State Energy Office, a part of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality.

NC Co-ops Share a Statewide Network of Support

From the mountains to the Piedmont and the coast, North Carolina’s 26 electric cooperatives serve members in 93 of the state’s 100 counties. Each not-for-profit cooperative is independent and as diverse as the communities they serve, although the statewide network of co-ops works closely together to ensure all members are served as reliably, affordably and safely as possible.

Over the course of their history, NC co-ops have formed organizations to support the work they do, each with its own governing board of directors made up of representatives from each member co-op. Today, this family of organizations is collectively known as North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives.

North Carolina Association of Electric Cooperatives (NCAEC)

This trade association provides association services, including legislative support, public and media relations, safety and educational training, and economic development. (Not to mention publishing Carolina Country magazine.) All 26 NC co-ops are members.

Tarheel Electric Membership Association (TEMA)

This co-op organization provides materials and supplies needed to operate and maintain the electric system. TEMA also coordinates co-op line crews traveling to assist others during disaster recovery efforts. All 26 NC co-ops are members, plus eight VA co-ops and one MD co-op.

North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation (NCEMC)

This generation and transmission cooperative owns power generation assets, purchases electricity through contracts, and works with members to pursue innovative energy projects. Twenty NC co-ops are full participating members, meaning NCEMC serves all power requirements. Five are independent members, meaning it serves a portion of power requirements. Hillsboroughbased Piedmont Electric Cooperative is transitioning to become a participating member in 2032.

Visit carolinacountry.com/ournetwork to learn more about your co-op and this statewide network. NC co-ops also benefit from a national network of support, which we’ll discuss in a future issue.

Cooperation Among Co-ops Highlighted at 2025 Brighter Future Summit

In April, more than 400 electric co-op leaders from across the state met in Raleigh for the 2025 Brighter Future Summit.

Joe Brannan, executive vice president and CEO for North Carolina’ Electric Cooperatives, opened the meeting by addressing the theme “Leadership with Impact.”

“Everyone in this room has a track record of showing nationally recognized leadership,” Brannan said. “You continue to innovate and rise to overcome challenges, but you never lose sight of our core mission.”

Brannan highlighted three areas of importance during this era of industry change: affordability, reliability and stability — the latter through the strength of the co-op network. That strength was highlighted during recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene, Brannan said.

During a panel discussion facilitated by Sharla Wells, vice president of External Affairs for North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives, executive leadership from the four NC co-ops most affected by Helene discussed the recovery: Haywood EMC’s Tom Batchelor, Rutherford EMC’s

Dirk Burleson, Blue Ridge Energy’s Doug Johnson, and French Broad EMC’s Jeff Loven.

The theme of cooperation among cooperatives ran throughout the panel, with agreement that restoration efforts wouldn’t have been successful without support from other electric co-ops and from co-op members.

“Our line technicians often heard people in the community clapping for them when the lights came on. That meant so much to them,” Johnson said. “It was just a total membership and employee response that I’ll never forget.”

Attendees also heard from keynote speaker Jim Matheson, CEO of the

Hotchkiss Receives Highest NC Honor Nelle Hotchkiss, senior vice president and COO of North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives, was named to The Order of the Long Leaf Pine shortly before her retirement in March. Since 1963, North Carolina’s governors have reserved the award as the highest honor for persons who have made significant contributions to the state and their communities.

NC Secretary of Commerce Lee Lilley presented the award to Hotchkiss, noting the wide-ranging impact she’s made throughout her career in selflessly serving the people and communities of rural North Carolina.

“Generosity is one of the watchwords everyone knows for Nelle,” Lilley said. “Generosity in her professional life, as well as in her civic life through her roles on various boards of directors. She is a master of creating connections and of creating community.”

National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), the national trade association representing more than 900 electric co-ops from across the county. Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative Executive Vice President and General Manager Susan Flythe addressed the group as NCEMC board president. Flythe was also elected to represent North Carolina on the NRECA board of directors.

Business meetings for the three statewide organizations(see page 4) were also held, where officers were elected (see full list, below).

ENERGY SAVER

When Jacqueline Long first heard about her electric cooperative’s energy efficiency rebate program, it was through a friend who had mentioned it years ago. She had initially looked into it but never followed through. When the same friend brought it up again, she decided to give it another chance. She’s glad she did.

In the early months of 2024, Jacqueline and her husband, Joe (pictured), had energy-efficiency upgrades completed on their home through Roanoke Cooperative’s Upgrade to $ave program. The process started with a free energy assessment, where a skilled auditor visited their home to identify areas where efficiency could be improved. Based on the assessment, their co-op sent a trained weatherization crew to their home to complete the upgrades, including installing a new HVAC system.

“Our system was heating and cooling all right, but I saw a whole lot of difference when we got the new system in. And the light bill isn’t as high as it was before,” Jacqueline says.

The effectiveness of home energy efficiency and appliance upgrades in reducing energy costs has led the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to launch its own statewide rebate programs through the Energy Saver North Carolina initiative.

“We launched the program in January and are rolling it out in different phases in order to train contractors across counties in an effective and efficient way,” explains Francisco Martínez-Márquez, Energy Innovator Fellow for the State Energy Office, a part of DEQ. The current phase includes Halifax and Cleveland Counties, with a second phase beginning this month in some Western NC

counties. “The application process is open statewide, and we encourage all residents to apply to secure their place in the queue, even if their county has not yet reached the processing phase.”

For those considering making energy upgrades to their home, Jacqueline encourages homeowners to take those first steps, whether in contacting their electric co-op or reaching out to Energy Saver North Carolina.

“I advise them to do it — it would be a good thing,” she says. “No need to keep paying a high light bill if your house is still cold in the winter or hot in the summer.”

More than $208 million in funding for the Energy Saver North Carolina program was obtained by the state through the federal Inflation Reduction Act. The program will continue to expand through all counties into next year and is expected to run until 2031, or until all funds are depleted.

Energy Assessment

“North Carolina’s home energy rebates provide an opportunity to make lasting improvements to your home’s energy efficiency,” says Keishaa Austin, principal deputy director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of State and Community Energy Programs. “By investing in upgrades now, you could reduce your heating costs, and you’ll also enjoy savings and comfort for years to come.”

HOW IT WORKS

Energy Saver North Carolina is made up of two programs, based on the type of upgrades. NC residents can participate in both, though not for the same upgrade or equipment type. Start by determining if you stand to benefit more from the HOMES program (“Homeowners Managing Efficiency Savings”) or the HEAR program (“Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates”). The answer is largely based on your Area Median Income (AMI) level, which is determined by what county you live in, annual income and household size. (Quickly calculate AMI at energysavernc.org or by calling 866-998-8555 — households with an AMI greater than 150% are not eligible for either rebate program.)

These are for improvements that increase the overall energy efficiency of a home, such as work installing insulation, air sealing, and upgrading heating and cooling systems.

HOMES rebates typically provide the largest savings for households with income less than 80% of AMI, which can receive up to 100% of project costs through either rebate program, up to a certain amount. The maximum rebate amount is $16,000 through this program.

HEAR REBATES

These rebates support the purchase of energy-efficient appliances or materials, and the electrification of home systems, like cooking, laundry, hot water and heating and cooling.

HEAR rebates are best for households with income between 80% and 150% of AMI, which can receive up to 50% of project costs through either rebate program. The maximum rebate amount is $14,000 through this program.

These rebates are also a good choice for applicants with an existing broken appliance.

Sharon Methodist Church Celebrates its Bicentennial

A Tradition of Worship, Love and Witness

In 1825, Sharon Methodist Church began with classes that were held in members’ homes, led by George Kirby and John Davis. The first building was an unheated log cabin on the corner of Oxpen Road and Hwy 130, and in 1860 they moved to its current location on Holden Beach Road. The church recently joined the Global Methodist denomination. In honor of its Bicentennial celebration, we asked Pastor Jim Pegan to tell us how the church evolved and what it offers the community today.

“Our first building here was a 20-foot by 30-foot log cabin with handmade shingles. Over the years, with perseverance, the congregation constructed a series of buildings, culminating in the Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall, The Rose of Sharon Thrift Store and The Crossing that we have today. While renovating our old sanctuary, we had a vision of creating a network of the nonprofits that serve our area and designed the space to be an outreach

to others. We named it The Crossing because it’s an intersection between our church family and the community. Brunswick Family Assistance sets up a satellite office once a month. On Tuesdays, Smart Start offers their Kaleidoscope program for infants and toddlers and their parents and grandparents. Narcotics Anonymous meets here on Friday evenings, and on Wednesdays we have our own food pantry. The Girl Scouts use the space, as do many other groups. We also offer classes on Medicare and budgeting, and health screenings.

The Rose of Sharon Thrift Store generates revenue, helping us support the organizations that use The Crossing, as well as the other partners in our network, such as Christian Recovery Centers and Habitat for Humanity. Something special happens in the store all the time. Tina, our manager, is a great listener, and if a shopper is planning for a job interview, she’ll use resources to help them with a new outfit and shoes. If someone has lost their home, she knows how to help, or sends them to us.

At the root of everything we do is our identity as a family of people who love God, who love each other, and who love our neighbors. Our member Debbie Kirby says, ‘It’s a church family like no other. You can see the love that is shown through the grace on people’s faces. It’s like a light when you walk in the door.’

The theme for our Bicentennial is ‘Great is thy faithfulness’, a tribute to those who have gone before us and laid the path for where we are today. We invite anyone who may have a connection to Sharon over the years to join us on Oct. 26 for a day of celebration with a big worship service, singing old and new songs, and food and more music. Come back home.”

Nakina Fire & Rescue

Nakina Fire & Rescue provides professional firefighting and emergency medical services, including Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport capabilities, to its districts and surrounding areas. With two stations and a third in development, we spoke with Chief Victor Jacobs to learn more about services, their ISO Class 6 rating, and the importance of their response times.

“Our mission is to provide the highest level of service to our community. Our main station is staffed 24/7 by ALScertified crews with firefighters available. This staffing model reduces response times, which is critical in emergencies. For example, recently at approximately 1 a.m., we received a call for a chest pain emergency. Within five minutes of arriving on scene of the call, we used a 12-Lead ECG and confirmed the patient was having a heart attack. We quickly transported him to a helicopter for life-saving care.

We’ve earned an ISO Class 6 rating, higher than the standard, following a thorough inspection and evaluation of our equipment, response times, and operations, including simulations that showcased our team's capabilities. This rating is a strong indicator of our readiness and also helps reduce insurance premiums for district residents.

We’re working with the county on plans for a third station to serve the 22,000 new residential units that

have recently been approved. And we have mutual aid agreements with Old Dock, Tabor City, Town of Brunswick, Williams Township and Brunswick County. Our team is exceptional; they are dedicated, motivated, and committed to ongoing training. We offer training every Monday evening, some Saturdays, and whenever needed. Cross-training between fire and EMS is a key part of our program, which improves efficiency and teamwork.

Community involvement is also a top priority. I’ve appointed a Community Risk Reduction Specialist and Coordinator to focus on public education, school outreach and blood drives. We have a career fair coming up at Old Dock Elementary School, and we’ll bring our ambulance to engage with students. We also recently applied for a state grant to provide and install smoke detectors for those in need across our district.

We’re also grateful for a grant from BEMC, which helped fund safety supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE) for our team. It’s an expensive investment, but it makes a huge difference for our personnel’s safety on the scene.

Despite being one of the smaller departments in the county, we pride ourselves on delivering first-class service. We may be small, but we punch above our weight, so when you need us, you can count on us.”

Chief Victor Jacobs

Do We Owe You Money?

As a member-owned electric cooperative, BEMC operates without a profit motive. After covering expenses and planning and building for the future, we periodically return revenue to the membership in the form of capital credits. These checks are mailed out generally every two years, and the formula for distribution is based on prior years of operation and member consumption. If a member who is owed capital credits has moved, and we don’t have an accurate address, their check is returned to us. You can go to bemc.org/capital-credits and click on Unclaimed Capital Credits to see if we are holding a check for you. Additionally, by law, we are required to periodically turn over, or escheat, unclaimed capital credits to the State of North Carolina. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS will have their capital credits escheated in November if they are not claimed this month. If you see your name, please call us at (800) 842-5871 or email capitalcredits@bemc.org. Thank you for being a member.

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT:

Susan Wilson

Susan Wilson joined BEMC in September 2022 as a Control Center Technician. Fun Facts: She can remember every word to songs she’s heard going back decades and hasn’t been stumped yet. And, once she’s gone somewhere once, near or far, she can tell you exactly how to get there. Great recall!

è You’re relatively new to the area, how do you like it here? I grew up in Charlotte and lived my entire life there, and it was time for a change of pace and lifestyle. My husband, Michael, and I lived in a condo at a busy intersection, and now we live in a house we love on a dirt road. I had a sometime hour-and-a-half commute each way, and now I’m home in 10 minutes. We both grew up vacationing in North Myrtle Beach and always wanted to live on the coast; now we pinch ourselves every time we’re walking on the beach. It’s a new life for us and we just love it. We’ve even taken up thrifting! I found a Peterboro basket recently for $9.99 that retails for $139. It’s fun!

è How did you and your husband meet? Well, my husband was adopted, and we met while he was searching for his birth parents. He had inaccurate information about his birth father, and, searching online, he thought that I might be his sister. DNA tests confirmed that I am definitely not and the rest is history. The funny thing is that I am distantly related to his adoptive family.

è You’re a big animal lover? We both are! We have a dog and three cats. Our 12-year-old mini dachshund mix, named Scooter, might be part Chihuahua, because he’s normally the sweetest thing, but he does have a short fuse. Butterscotch is our five-year-old red tabby, and is just a love, except when it’s at odds with our new kitten, Moon Pie. My husband brought him home from the neighbors one night, because he didn’t

get along with their cat. Lollipop is the middle one, so adorable, and everyone says that her face looks like the front of an airplane. Luckily, Scooter gets along with them all. It’s an adventure every day! Susan and Michael Wilson

Growing Family, Growing Energy Expenses?

Trim energy bills despite a new addition

Q:Our energy bill has been higher than normal for the last little while, and I’m realizing now that it started around the time our son was born. Do you have thoughts on how to keep it in check?

A:First off, congratulations! And it’s true: Among all the advice and “heads-up” we get from friends and family when a baby is on the way, preparing to pay more for electricity isn’t typically on the list. But a new person at home, no matter how small, does affect how we use energy.

Here are a few areas that are likely contributing to your steeper bills (and maybe sleepless hours) and some things you may be able to do about them.

Laundry

Obviously, this is a big one. You’re likely washing more clothes, and doing so more often than before (thanks for another blowout, kid).

Fortunately, there are behavior changes that may help you save. For example, if you’re not doing it already, aim to run a full load and choose cold over warm water if you can. Maybe there are also clothing items that can be washed less frequently.

Next time you’re in the market for a new washer, don’t rule out a front-loading version. These tend to clean better, be gentler on clothing, and use less energy and water than top-loaders, especially ones with an agitator. Models with an Energy Star® label will save you even more. On the drying side, units that

use heat pump technology are more efficient than conventional equipment, and you could also try air-drying as weather permits.

Heating and cooling

Heating and cooling make up the largest chunk of your monthly energy bill, and having a new baby in the house may have affected how you set your thermostat, particularly overnight. See if there are other opportunities, or times of day, to optimize your system’s usage. For instance, maybe you could bump the temperature up or down, as appropriate depending on the season, when you’ll be out and about for long periods. If your system is older, you may also be able to take advantage of rebates to help fund a more efficient replacement.

Water heating

If you’ve never checked the temperature of your water heater, now might be a good time. Water heaters typically come with default temperature setpoints up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, but lowering that to closer to 120 degrees could save you in energy and reduce the risk of scalding.

One thing to be aware of, however, is that going much lower with the temperature may provide better conditions for the potential growth of Legionella bacteria. If you’re unsure about adjusting your water

heater settings, you could first consult with a professional or your electric co-op.

Another way to conserve energy with your water heater is to insulate its tank and any exposed pipes. And like with dryers, there are more-efficient heat pump water heaters to consider when you’re in need of a replacement.

Phantom loads

You’ve likely already invested in new baby equipment or toys that plug in. Some of these may be consuming electricity even when they’re not being used (that’s where the “phantom load” name comes from). The amount of power being drawn isn’t much, but it can add up.

Certain devices may not need to be constantly plugged in. For ones that are trickier to unplug, see if they might have a power-save mode you can enable. Also, this guidance doesn’t just apply to kid-related gadgets — look for opportunities to eliminate phantom loads with your own technologies, too.

Hopefully the above ideas provide food for thought (apologies if that food ends up on the floor). Have fun navigating this new adventure!

Making Waves in an Island Community

Mary Helen Goodloe-Murphy is an Outer Banks legend

If anything significant happens in Dare County, Mary Helen Goodloe-Murphy probably knows about it. Since 1990 she has covered events there as a reporter for the “Coastland Times.”

“If there is a community event on Hatteras Island, you can bet she’ll be there to cover it,” says Susan Flythe, executive vice president and general manager of Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative (CHEC).

And if there is any project that improves life for residents of the seven villages on Hatteras Island, Mary Helen likely started it — or at the very least had a hand in making it a reality.

“She’s the most civically involved person I’ve ever known,” Susan says. “She’s a legend on the island. I can’t say enough good about her.”

Mary Helen and her late husband, the Rev. Andrew Thomas Goodloe-Murphy, had vacationed in the Outer Banks for years before moving there in 1986. Their first community service was with the volunteer community fire department.

“Our friends were volunteer firefighters, so we joined and served for 10 or 12 years, until we got too old,” Mary Helen explains.

One of Mary Helen’s favorite local projects is Radio Hatteras. She has been involved with the station since its beginning and still takes her turn as a shift broadcaster.

“We just celebrated our 11th birthday,” she says. “It’s an all-volunteer station. We have a digital jukebox that automatically plays all types of music. People come and go one by one, taking their shifts.”

The station got started when a Virginia radio station owner offered to give two of his broadcast licenses to the community. Former CHEC General Manager Jim Kinghorn

needed a way to communicate with residents during local emergencies. He urged them to accept this offer and start and operate a local station.

Radio Hatteras is a vital source of information for residents, especially during hurricanes when the station broadcasts 24 hours a day. It is linked to the Dare County Emergency System and CHEC so those officials can interrupt the automatic music anytime to impart important news.

The radio station’s impact “is huge,” Susan says. “Sometimes it’s our only way to communicate.”

The Outer Banks Hotline thrift shop, which Mary Helen started in 1987 in Rodanthe, is still operating, too. With several locations, the shops have a big impact, with funds raised split between the fire department and a local domestic violence hotline.

When Hatteras Island gained National Seashore status in 2009, it became eligible for federal funds. Eight miles of pathways make walking or biking easier for residents and visitors. Through her grant writing, Mary Helen hopes funds will soon allow the remaining seven miles to be completed.

Mary Helen’s many awards for community service include Dare County Citizen of the Year, Outer Banks Citizen of the Year, member of the Order of the Longleaf Pine, and North Carolina Coastal Federation’s Pelican Award.

She says the best thing about living on Hatteras Island is that “the people are terrific, and the weather is always changing.” She adds: “I’m not a native. I came here, but I’ve lived here longer than I’ve lived anywhere else.”

Memories and photos from our readers

Travel Joys in a Buick Electra

When we were young, our father, who loved driving to the mountains from our home in Rowland, would pack us all up in the late fall for our annual pilgrimage. To him, it was the highlight of the year, and it soon became ours as well, as his excitement was contagious.

He just loved the mountains, especially the Boone area, and for us it was the Tweetsie Railroad experience. The incredible excitement was palpable as we packed our belongings.

We never stayed more than three days, but we most certainly made the most out of those two or three days! Just the drive was an experience for our Daddy, as he drove his Buick Electra to the mountains.

He was very proud of the car because he grew up from a dirt-poor background and he was Native American. His mother and father were strict disciplinarians who pushed their children to get a good education. That impetus drove our Daddy to eventually become a long-time professor at what is now the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

His hard work and perseverance helped him into a career that afforded Daddy the financial means to buy his coveted “Blue Buick Electra,” though if truth be told, it

Ghost Town in the Sky

When I was young, my parents would take my sister and I to the NC mountains for a weekend in the fall every year. We would visit different places each time we went to the mountains such as Cherokee and Tweetsie Railroad in Boone, where we got to ride the train and ride all the rides, visit the petting zoo and meet TV personality Fred Kirby. My fondest memory from our mountain trips was going to Ghost Town in the Sky in Maggie Valley. I always dreaded the ride on the chairlift up the steep mountain and did not dare ride it with my dad, who loved to rock it back and forth. Once on top of the mountain, we enjoyed the many rides, watching the western gun shootout in the street and all the shows.

One particular show was the “rain” show. The audience would sit on the bleachers watching the show and were told to say the rain chant, which goes: “Rain, rain, go away, come again another day.” After chanting this several times, a blast of water was sprayed on everyone from behind. It only took one time to fool us!

When we returned to the show at later times it was funny watching (from behind) everyone get soaked. It’s sad that Ghost Town in the Sky closed because I would love to take my two children to experience what I experienced when I was younger. I'm glad I have all the special memories, though.

was actually a silver-ish color, but Daddy was color blind. He loved driving it!

He was all smiles all the way up to the mountains, and we loved it too. One time, motion sickness going around the curves caused an accident in the car, but it was a small and forgivable snafu.

The treks continued for a long time until we were well into our teens. Daddy passed away in 1996, and now as an older person myself, I so fondly remember those travels — travels and memories that cannot be duplicated. That is why I absolutely love the North Carolina mountains … especially in late fall.

Beyond Sweet Basil

Three twists on a go-to herb

Story and photos by L.A. Jackson

Regular sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a common, easy-to-grow annual herb that I usually tuck away in a tiny corner of my herb patch. I do like this basil, but skimping on its space leaves more room for other basils with way more different twists in flavor, fragrance and looks. Here are three of my current favorites.

African Blue Basil

The leaves and stems of this hybrid basil (Ocimum kilimandscharicum x basilicum), which can reach up to about 3 to 4 feet tall, are tinged with purple, and its bloom spikes show off in shades of light lavender, making it a pretty contender for any herb or even ornamental bed. But what makes it a permanent addition to my garden every spring is the foliage’s fragrance, which is typical basil aroma but heavily enhanced with a pleasing dose of camphor — and released to the four winds by the slightest touch.

Thai Basil

This is a handsome herb (Ocimum basilicum var. thyrsiflora), showing off green leaves supported on purple stems topped by sprites of equally purple blossoms. Growing to about 18 inches tall, it can grab attention on the front of an herb garden or, heck, even a flower border. This basil’s spicy, anise-like flavor makes it a must in many Asian dishes. ‘Siam Queen’ (an All-America Selections winner) is the typical Thai basil cultivar found in garden centers.

Purple Ruffles Basil

With crinkly leaves that can dip into the deepest of purple hues, it’s sometimes hard to convince other gardeners that this oddity ‘Purple Ruffles’ (Ocimum basilicum) really is basil. The foliage of ‘Purple Ruffles’ (another All-America Selections winner, by the way) is very dramatic, but this basil’s scent and flavor are

quite light, which makes the leaves an ideal addition to pestos, salads or sandwiches. Its dark coloring is also a visual plus when added to herb vinegars.

Descriptions of ‘Purple Ruffles’ usually mention the plants will reach about 2 feet high. Well, last year, I seeded them in an area preferred by basils — organically amended, well-draining soil in full sun — and by the end of the growing season, as opposed to my Thai and African Blue basils that behaved in the same area, I was staring at 5-foot plants. So plan and plant with this in mind.

Garden To-Do’s for May

The end of this month into June is the beginning of Halloween, if you want home-harvested pumpkins that will be ready by October because, on average, it takes about 90 to 120 days to mature these spooky cucurbits from seed. Pick an area in full sun and create planting mounds in your pumpkin patch by tilling in lots of compost or quality commercial garden manure. Compost will also do well as mulch because its natural nutrients will help bulk up these heavy feeders. As an alternative, pumpkins can be nourished with a time-release fertilizer at planting time or with monthly doses of liquid fertilizer.

□ Soil moisture is crucial for garden-grown onions and cucumbers. If it doesn’t rain, and these veggies are not irrigated with at least an inch of water each week, onions won’t mature to a proper, plump size, and cukes will develop a mouth-puckering bitter taste. Adding mulch will help level out ground water availability in between irrigation cycles.

□ Strong spring rains can turn bird seed and treats to mush, so clean and dry your birdfeeders after particularly heavy downpours.

Yes, ‘Purple Ruffles’ really is basil.

Italian BLT Dip

With spicy honey tomato au jus

Messy? Yes — but these sandwiches are oh so buono! We love French dips, but it’s high time for an Italian dip. Grab some napkins and dip away!

4 rolls/bread, crispy crust/soft insides

2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded

½ cup basil leaves, loosely packed, fresh, julienned

Tomatoes, firm, ripe and sliced

1 pound bacon, cooked

Salt and pepper

Bread spread

6 tablespoons butter, softened

2 tablespoons mayonnaise (we prefer Duke’s)

2 teaspoons bacon drippings

2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning

¼ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Au jus

1 cup V8 (we used spicy)

3 tablespoons beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

From Your Kitchen

Chocolate-Strawberry Yogurt Bark

Icy, crunchy, sweet, creamy—this yogurt bark sings with different textures and flavors—from the pops of chocolate to the tang of berries. And it’s so pretty!

3 cups plain Greek yogurt, whole milk

¼ cup maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1½ cups strawberries, sliced

½ cup chocolate chips

Prepare by lining a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or over a double boiler on the stove.

Stir yogurt, maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla in a medium bowl. Spread on the prepared baking sheet into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle.

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon hot sauce (we used Texas Pete)

¾ teaspoon each granulated onion and garlic

Pinch of salt and pepper to taste

Combine bread spread ingredients. Shake au jus ingredients together in a jar.

To serve, smear both sides of bread with spread and lightly toast.

Toss lettuce with basil and pile onto bottom slice of bread. Add tomatoes, then bacon. Top and serve with dipping cup of au jus.

Au jus is best at room temperature or warm. Also doubles as a salad dressing.

Yield: 4 sandwiches

Recipe courtesy of Natalie Johnson of Winston-Salem, a member of Piedmont Electric Cooperative.

Scatter the strawberries on top and drizzle with chocolate. Freeze until very firm, at least three hours. Break into pieces and enjoy.

Yield: Approximately 30 pieces

Note: When this recipe warms up to room temperature, it returns to a yogurt consistency. Store it in the freezer.

We’ve given this Italian “garden in a jar” a Southern twist, because who doesn’t love bread and butter pickles? Pump up the pickle party by adding more vegetables to the brine for weeks!

2 cups apple cider vinegar

2 cups distilled white vinegar

2¼ cups water

2¼ cups sugar

2 tablespoons mustard seeds

1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns

2 teaspoons celery seeds

2 teaspoons kosher or pickling salt

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional

Assorted vegetables, fresh and cut into bite-sized pieces (cucumbers, cauliflower, peppers, onions, carrots, celery, okra, green beans, radish, firm summer squash with soft insides removed)

Boil all ingredients (not the veggies) until the sugar dissolves, then let cool a bit.

Pack 1–2 jars with vegetables, any combination you like.

Pour slightly cooled brine over vegetables and secure with lid.

Pop into the fridge for a couple of days to let flavors meld and to “pickle” the veggies. These will keep in the refrigerator for weeks. Once the first batch is gone, add more veggies to the same brine to extend the enjoyment of your garden.

Yield: 6–7 cups brine

The March “Where Is This” photo by EnergyUnited member Vickey Baxley features a serene mural of a cat and dog curious about a butterfly located on the Foothills Animal Health Center on Main Street in Claremont. Many readers stated the mural depicts the mission and values of the center, run by the Humane Society of Catawba County. The mural, created by artist Phinthone “Ping” Senesombath and her team, was unveiled in June 2024 when the center opened. The winning entry chosen at random from all correct submissions came from Jack Havely of Newport, a Carteret-Craven member.
