Help Make a Child Happy this Christmas!
This year we want every child to be able to
open a gift on Christmas morning and you can
help make this happen. Join the Oriental Dragon
Detachment of the Marine Corps League and
our community partners in supporting the U.S.
Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots toy drive for
needy children in Pamlico County. From now until
Christmas, you may drop off a new unwrapped toy
at these partner locations:
In Bayboro: Family Dollar, PCHS NJROTC,
First Citizens Bank. In Grantsboro: Dollar General
Grantsboro, Walmart, Pamlico Pharmacy, SECU
Bank. In Minnesott Beach: Minnesott Golf and
Country Club. In Oriental: The Pamlico News,
Dollar General, Walmart Express, Village Hardware,
First Citizens Bank, The Bean, Studio 55, Oriental
Rotary Club, Oriental Town Hall, Stacy Hair Salon.
Or, bring a new, unwrapped toy to the Oriental
Christmas Parade and give it to the Marines on
the Toys for Tots float.
Last year, with help from our community,
Operation: Toys for Tots collected over 500 toys
for Pamlico County children. All toys collected
stay here in Pamlico County.

5K Reindeer Run Helps Hope Clinic
Spirit of Christmas on Friday, Saturday
Oriental is the Christmas destination this year! This Saturday morning at
9am, a bunch of Santa’s reindeer and elves will be running through downtown for a good cause. The race starts and ends at the Town Hall on Broad
Street, includes the bridge, and several streets downtown.
If you haven’t registered yet, you can sign up on race day morning
beginning at 7am at the Town Hall in Oriental. Race day registration is
$30 and includes an event t-shirt. Medals will be given to the top 3 overall
male and female runners, as well as various age groups. Holiday costumes
are encouraged!
The race is also still in need of volunteer course monitors to help direct
participants throughout the course. If you have an hour and a half to spare
in the morning, please contact Hope Clinic or sign up at http://www.orientalbridgerun.org. Cheerleaders to line the streets and encourage runners
are also among the volunteer needs.
Hope Clinic provides close to $5,000,000 worth of free medical care to
our low-income, uninsured neighbors each year. This includes doctor visits, prescription medicine, lab and diagnostic tests, dental care, counseling,
and referrals to specialists. While many people believe that the Affordable
Healthcare Act (ACA) takes care of our most vulnerable, the truth could
not be more disturbing. Less than 5% of our patients qualify or can afford
health insurance premiums.
Only your generous donations make Hope Clinic’s work possible. If
you’re unable to participate in the run this Saturday, please consider making a donation via their website (http://www.hopeclinicnc.org) or sending a
check to P.O. Box 728, Bayboro, NC 28515.
For questions, contact Sheri Rettew, Executive Director, at [email protected] or call (252) 745-5760 and see page 9A for more details.
Also highlighting the weekend of
holiday events if the spirit of Christmas.
Oriental is, after all, the venue for anything exciting and just a little different
in Pamlico County, site of Friday and
Saturday’s annual Spirit of Christmas.
Each year the merchants, churches,
townspeople and civic groups unite
to present this heartwarming event in
the spirit of giving and as a way to say
“thank you” for support during the year.
Join in for holiday treats, entertainment
and specials throughout town. Enjoy the boats decorated in the harbor, the
Saturday afternoon parade and enjoy the beauty of our Town as luminaries
light the streets at dusk.
Due to overwhelming support this year, the program is packed full of
wonderful activities, many of which are going on simultaneously.
This year’s event, themed a Merry Dinghy Christmas, kicks off Friday,
December 11 with a luminary display lining the way to Oriental’s beautiful waterfront. A lighted boat parade will greet onlookers around
5pm followed by a lighted kayak, canoe, paddle board and dinghy (no
motors) parade.
On Saturday, the Spirit of Christmas parade makes its way to the waterfront starting along Broad Street at 1 p.m. with plenty of candy for the
children lining the streets. Of course, Santa makes an appearance to signal
the end of the parade and the beginning of the holiday season.
See page 8B for a complete list of this year’s events.

OBITuArIEs
It was a brisk morning, but the feeling in
the air was warm and filled with smiles at the
Pamlico High School track this past Saturday
as more than 100 girls, coaches, GOTR board
members, volunteers and family members geared
up for the Girls on the Run 5K Fun Run. The
DJ, hair glitter, laughter and dancing added
to the spirited atmosphere.The ten runners,
3rd through 5th graders at Fred A. Anderson
Elementary School, participated in this season’s
activity-based youth development program. They
were thrilled to cross the finish line along with
their “running buddy” as friends and family
cheered them on. During the 5K Fun Run, each
girl was accompanied by an adult running buddy
who encouraged and supported each girl as
she took on this challenge. Two “Dream Team
Girls,” past participants of the program, also
participated in the event and showed their support by cheering words of encouragement while
running alongside the girls.The goal of the Girls
on the Run, an after-school program, is to help
the girls recognize their own power, to be intentional and positive decision makers, to stand up

Shopping Small, Shopping Local Supports Pamlico County
Black Friday and Cyber Monday
deals are done so let’s get down to
some real holiday shopping right
here in your home town. There is
no need to fight the crowds, log on
or pay outrageous shipping charges
to ensure prompt delivery when
you shop local. Showing support
for your local merchants is a great
way to strengten the economic base
of your community, but it also just
feels good.
Dollars spent will recirculate within the community creating and supporting local jobs and reinvestment
into the community. This trickle
down effect can also encourage local
prosperity. According to research,
entrepreneurs and skilled workers
are more likely to invest and settle in
communities that preserve their oneof-a-kind businesses and distinctive
character.
Shopping local can also help keep
our community unique because
where we shop, eat and have fun
makes our community home. Oneof-a-kind business are an integral
part of creating a town’s atmosphere
with their distinct character and
style. Shopping is also a very social
activity and local businesses often
hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling
and take more time to get to know
their customers. Personal attention is
what you get when shopping local,
making it easy and fun.
You may be helping your community two-fold when shopping
local. Not only are you contributing
to the economy but, you can actually reduce environmental impact.
Studies show that locally owned
businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation.
In addition, less shipping and packing materials are used as opposed to

Got News?
Tideland Electric Membership Corporation
will mail checks to members this month following the board’s approval of a $2.4 million
general retirement of member-owned capital.
The largest single year retirement in Tideland
EMC’s 74 year history, the refund will apply to
members of the not-for-profit cooperative during the service years 1986-1989 and 2014.
Capital credits represent member margins
that are collected through electric bill revenues
and reinvested in the cooperative’s utility infrastructure. At the end of each year, Tideland’s
expenses
are deducted
from revenue and the
remaining funds are proportionally assigned
to each member as capital credits based on a
percentage of what they paid for electricity
during the calendar year. By utilizing member
capital to maintain its electric system, Tideland
is able to minimize its reliance on outside lenders thus reducing borrowing costs for the entire
membership. Tideland’s ability to retire capital
credits is based on the co-op meeting financial
performance goals as established by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Rural Utilities
Service. The amount returned to an individual
member is based on the total amount they paid
for electricity during the years for which the
refund is made.
According to Tideland EMC’s chief executive officer Paul Spruill this unusually large
refund is primarily attributed to historically
high electric sales last winter. “While it is
always a pleasure to refund member dollars,
ideally we don’t want to collect more money
than is needed to comfortably meet our obligations,” said Spruill. “Last winter’s extended
cold snap, coupled with a much more stable
energy market than originally forecast, resulted
in significantly higher member margins than
anticipated. This one-time, large refund allows
the cooperative to meet its financial obligations
while getting member dollars back into our

when you buy on line.
Shopping local can also give you
the freedom to buy what you want,
not what someone wants you to
buy. An arena of small businesses
options in a community is the best
way to ensure innovation and low
prices over the long-term. It also
ensures much broader range of product choices based on the merchant’s

own interest and your needs.
Don’t forget to ask for recommendations. Where do your friends and
coworkers shop locally? What are
there favorite products. When you
discover a new store or find something great at a favorite shop tell
people about it and show off those
perfect finds on social media. So to
keep our local shopkeepers busy this
holiday season spread the word.
This can help ensure that the
store you love will be there all year
round when you are looking for that
perfect something for that someone
special.
And while you’re shopping
local, don’t forget our local charity
shops. Why not stop in Habitat for
Humanity's ReStore and the Hospice
Thrift Shop? These establishments
benefit our community year-round
and in turn, shopping there helps
continue their efforts.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Continue to look for ways to
expand your horizons because
this is what you need to do right
now. Obviously, travel if you can
because you need a change of
scenery. If not, be a tourist in your
own city. Also look for ways to learn something new
-- in other words, rattle your cage! Get out of your
velvet rut. Romance is warm and cozy this week.
You can also benefit from the wealth and resources
of others. Meanwhile, be careful midweek on Wed./
Thurs. because harsh planetary aspects could create
arguments with partners and close friends. Guard
against knee-jerk reactions and sarcastic replies.
Once the words fly out of your mouth, you cannot
pull them back.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your focus on shared property,
inheritances, taxes, debt and
financial matters involving others
continues. In fact, the New Moon
on Friday is the perfect time to
make resolutions about how to
handle debt and these specific financial negotiations.
What can you do to improve things for the future?
Fortunately, relations with partners and close friends
are sweet and cozy, especially intimately. A mild
warning for the midweek: On Wed./Thurs., difficulties
with work are likely. Equipment breakdowns, electrical problems and arguments with coworkers might
occur. (If you have to eat humble pie -- use lots of
whipped cream.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Remember to get more sleep
because the Sun is as far away
from you as it gets all year and
the Sun is your source of energy.
(Go to bed.) Your strong focus on
partnerships continues. Actually,
this oppositional Sun is the best time all year to
learn about your style of relating to others. The New
Moon on Friday is also the best time all year to
make resolutions about how to improve your closest
relationships. Meanwhile, relations with coworkers
are excellent. In fact, a work-related romance might
begin. Be careful midweek (Wed./Thurs.) because a
harsh planetary aspect could be an accident-prone
time for your kids, which means you must be vigilent.
This can also create problems with romantic partners.
Tread carefully!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You are pumped to get organized in your life! Give yourself
the right tools to do a bang-up job
because while you have this urge,
get as much done as possible. Ya
think? In a timely way, Friday’s
New Moon is the best day of the year to make resolutions about how to be more efficient in your life as
well as healthier. Think about what you wish you
would do (even if you never do it). Start with perfection and scale back to reality. Everything begins with
a thought, right? Eventually, that thought will translate
into action. This is a lovely week for romantic gettogethers. Relations with children are also sweet and
affectionate. Try to avoid arguments at home as well
as domestic accidents on Wed./Thurs. Power outages, breakages and problems with small appliances
-- especially electrical might occur.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is wonderful, playful
month for Leos! Schmooze with
friends and loved ones. Enjoy
fun times with children. Accept all
invitations to party because it’s
your turn to go out in full dazzle.
You will also enjoy entertaining at home and doing
anything to make your home look more beautiful. Real-estate negotiations could be favourable.
However, a word of warning: Midweek on Wed./
Thurs., a harsh planetary alignment can trigger
arguments. It is also an accident-prone time. This
means you have to pay attention to everything you
say and do. Be mindful. Avoid knee-jerk reactions
and saying flippant things that you might later
regret. (Yeah, yeah, we know a chef is just a cook
who swears in French.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Home, family and your
private life is your focus now. In
fact, the New Moon on Friday
is the best day all year to make
resolutions about how you want
to improve your home, and also,
how you can improve your relationship with family
members. Why not try it? You are oh so charming
and diplomatic right now because of the placement
of Venus for Virgos. Many of you will make money
from your words -- selling, marketing, writing, teaching and acting. Others will just sweet talk someone
into doing what you want them to do. “Oh my,
you’re so big and strong. Can you move that big
freezer?” By midweek, financial disputes could be
ugly. (Gulp) Protect your possessions, money and
assets on Wed./Thurs. from loss, breakage or theft.
Forewarned is forearmed!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Busy week! Short trips,
reading and writing, errands
plus talking to everyone will
keep you off your heels. Family
discussions and home repairs
are happening. Fortunately, your
finances look good! And you have chances to earn
money as well as spend it on beautiful things.
(You have elegant taste.) Caution! Fiery Mars is
in your sign pumping you with energy. Mostly, this
is a good thing because you can use this energy
to make things happen. However. midweek,
unpredictable Uranus lines up with Mars to create
an accident-prone situation. (Ouch) Plus this influence can trigger fights and arguments with others.
Remember Proverbs. “A soft answer turneth away
wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.” This
means zip thy lip.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Cash flow, earnings and
money are on your mind. How
timely that the New Moon on
Friday is the best day all year to
make resolutions about how to
make money and handle it wisely. With Venus in your sign now, you look fabulous!
You’re charming and diplomatic with everyone.
Yay! This is also the perfect time to buy wardrobe
goodies because you will like what you see in the
mirror. (The best things in life go on sale sooner
or later.) Midweek, a harsh planetary situation
will make you restless, impatient with others and
tempted to say or do rash things. Be cool. Don’t
end up with egg on your face. It doesn’t suit you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a powerful time
because both the Sun and
Saturn are in your sign; plus this
Friday, the only New Moon all
year in your sign also occurs.
It’s all about you! Make the most
of this edge that you have because people and
favourable circumstances are attracted to you.
Make this work for you! You have moneymaking
ideas that interest you. (You always want to get
rich quick -- and some of you do!) Actually, getting
rid slow is not so bad, either. Secret love affairs
are taking place for some. The thing you have to
be careful of is arguments with a friend midweek.
These arguments could be triggered by a competition or a disagreement with a group. Don’t do
anything you will later regret.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
It’s smart to play it cool and
lie low because in a few weeks,
the Sun will be in your sign and
you’ll be out there flying your
colours! Until then, use this
downtime to strategize what
you want your New Year to be all about. Set some
goals. After all, you are ambitious, especially this
month! A word of caution: Be careful that your ambition is not so strong that someone feels threatened
-- like your boss. Not good. Difficulties with authority
figures might come to a head midweek. Remember
your objective. Sometimes you have to lose a battle
in order to win the war. Meanwhile, friendships are
warm and cozy. In fact, a friend could become a
lover. Hmmm.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Such a wonderful, popular
time! Enjoy schmoozing with
everyone. Not only will you enjoy
the company of others, these
interactions will benefit you with
hot tips, advice or introductions
to someone important. Use Friday’s New Moon to
make resolutions about what you want regarding
the friendships in your life. Right now, you make a
great impression on bosses and VIPs. (In fact, this
impression is so great some of you might have a
romance. Handy for them -- cuz it’s a tax write off,
and they don’t have to pick you up.) This week and
especially midweek, is an accident-prone time so
do be careful. Pay attention to everything you say
and do.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You impress others right
now because you look good in
their eyes. (It’s the lighting. Just
take my word for it.) This is why
people will ask you to take on
increased responsibilities -- they
think you’re hot! Just say yes because you don’t
have to do anything extra special to dazzle them.
Meanwhile, travel for pleasure looks promising.
Blow town if you can, especially to someplace
beautiful and enticing. Meanwhile, be careful about
financial disputes or arguments about possessions, money and who owns what, midweek. You
might also lose your fair share of something if you
are not careful. Don’t let this happen.

“NEW LEASH ON LIFE” Program - Everyone deserves a second chance”
PAWS rescues adoptable shelter dogs and pairs them with inmate trainers at the Pamlico
Correctional Institution. The inmates learn patience, responsibility and teamwork along with new,
marketable skills.
The dogs are vetted, vaccinated and altered, house, crate and leash trained, and receive basic
and advanced obedience, agility and rally training. These well-behaved companions graduate
every eight weeks, ready to join new, forever families - maybe yours?
I’m Skipper and recently I’ve been on a voyage
that had a rough start. Now however, I found my
way into Pamlico’s New Leash on Life training
program. I’ll be graduating Jan. 6th and at around
a year old we’ll have a long happy go lucky life
ahead. Sometimes, I have a very serious and
observant side that might remind you more of the
professor on Gilligan’s Island. Nothing gets past
me and I’m very brave. You could come rescue
this castaway and help me to find a home. I’m a
small mixed breed consisting of Chihuahua and
Dachshund.
If you’re interested in adopting a NLOL dog contact Jackie Schmidt at 649-5504 or Penny Monell at 249-1453.
You can also email PAWS at mail.pamlicopaws.net and download an adoption application
at pamlicopaws.net on the individual dog’s page .

its guest artist for the month on December. An opening reception will be held Saturday, December 12 from 2 to 5 PM during
the Spirit of Christmas. The Pamlico Flutes will also be performing at the Gallery from 2 until 3.
Long before coming to Oriental in 2007, Pappy has been
involved with art. He has admired it, collected it, participated
in the design and construction of art facilities, and recruited art
students. The one thing he did not do before coming to Oriental
was create his own works of art. His first involvement with
the Village Gallery was as a member of the construction crew.
These volunteers developed the interior design, built the kiosks,
painted the interior, installed the lighting, and made repairs.
After the completion of the gallery he continued to assist in
hanging shows and maintained the lighting. He himself has
become a prolific painter.
“This exhibit is about places I have been and people I have
met. I want to thank the special friends who encouraged me to
create. So I hope folks enjoy my whimsy. I certainly have had
fun with it!”

North Carolina tobacco growers voted overwhelmingly to continue a self-assessment that raises
funds to support tobacco-related research and extension efforts of NC State University’s College of
Agriculture and Life Sciences.
Under the Tobacco Research Check-Off, started 24 years ago, producers decide whether to assess
10 cents per 100 pounds of flue-cured and burley tobacco sold. This year’s referendum – which
passed by 94.5 percent – continues the assessment through the 2021 crop year.
The N.C. Tobacco Research Commission allocates about $300,000 annually for tobacco-related
projects. The commission includes the state Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services;
the presidents of the N.C. Farm Bureau Federation, the N.C. State Grange and the Tobacco Growers
Association of North Carolina; and the N.C. Tobacco Foundation chairman.
Keith Oakley, president of the foundation and state check-off coordinator, said the referendum’s
passage is important for future tobacco production in North Carolina, especially in light of the fact
that federal funding for tobacco research ceased in 1994 and state support has declined in recent
years due to state budget cuts.
Tobacco continues to be the highest-value row crop produced in the state, with farm-gate sales in
2014 of more than $900 million. North Carolina produces about 80 percent of the Southeast’s tobacco acreage, up from two-thirds since before the tobacco buyout of 2004. That increase is partly due to
“competitive advantages related to tobacco-production research and education,” Oakley said.
According to CALS Dean Dr. Richard Linton, funds from the check-off will address such important areas as variety development, insect and disease management, and reduction of pesticide
residues, production costs, on-farm energy consumption and weed-seed contamination in tobacco
exports.

Tobacco Referendum Passes by Wide Margin
GREENVILLE - A first-of-its-kind mental health-screening program was unveiled today to address
the growing need for access to resources in eastern North Carolina.
The Access Point Screening Program is a new initiative from Trillium Health Resources, the
behavioral health and intellectual and developmental disabilities management authority for 24 eastern
North Carolina counties.
“Many people with mental health and substance use challenges go without treatment—in part
because their disorders go undiagnosed,” said Cindy Ehlers, vice president of clinical operations at
Trillium. “Part of Trillium’s mission is to increase access to services and resources where they are
needed most. We are proud to launch the Access Point program for communities we serve in eastern
North Carolina.”
The Access Point Screening Program is designed to provide people with access to anonymous,
evidence-based screenings for mental health and substance use challenges. This new tool will provide
immediate results and connect users to resources, including treatment recommendations, local referrals and educational materials. Users may use the screenings for personal assessment, or as a tool to
assess and access resources on behalf of someone else.
“By answering a few simple questions, users can learn more about what they or someone they
know may be experiencing,” said Ehlers. “It is our hope that the Access Point Screening Program
will help facilitate access to mental health and substance use services within the communities we
serve.”
The Access Point Screening Program is available online and is accessible on all mobile devices.
In addition to the web-based Access Point Screening Program, Trillium unveiled two Access Point
community kiosks today. The kiosks—currently located in Dare and Hyde Counties—are equipped
with the web-based screening platform, and have a dedicated phone line (VoIP) that will connect the
user to the Trillium call center if they so choose. The kiosks are wheelchair accessible, and feature
privacy filters that makes on-screen data visible only to persons directly in front of the monitor.
Visit http://www.TrilliumNCAccessPoint.org for more information.
Trillium Health Resources is a Local Management Entity/Managed Care Organization (LME/
MCO) responsible for publicly funded mental health, substance use, and intellectual/ developmental
disability services and supports for people living in eastern North Carolina. The counties that comprise the Trillium area include Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Craven,
Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hertford, Hyde, Jones, Martin, New Hanover, Northampton, Onslow,
Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Pitt, Tyrrell and Washington.

RALEIGH - As the temperature starts dropping and leaves start falling, another sign of the changing
season is more deer along North Carolina roadways, and in turn a greater chance of a collision with a
deer.
Over the last three years (between 2012-2014), nearly half of the 58,372 animal-related crashes in
the state took place in October through December. About 90 percent of those involved deer.
A N.C. Department of Transportation study shows that in 2014, there were 17,831 animal-related
crashes, the lowest number since 2006. But over the past three years, animal-related crashes claimed
11 lives, injured more than 3,386 drivers and passengers and caused nearly $145 million in damages.
“This is the time drivers need to be especially careful on the roads in regard to deer,” said NCDOT
Director of Mobility and Safety Kevin Lacy. “Increased activity and decreasing daylight hours mean
extra attention by motorists to their surroundings is needed for their safety and the safety of others.”
For the 12th year in a row, Wake County led all North Carolina counties in the number of animalrelated crashes with 794, which is a drop of more than 300 from 2013. The number remains high
compared to the rest of the counties because Wake County still has considerable acreage of woods,
with an increasing number of drivers on rural and urban roads.
Pitt County was the runner-up with 562 animal-related crashes, and has been in the top five rankings over each of the last eight years. The same status exists for the next two counties, with Guilford
a close third at 550 crashes and Duplin at 445 crashes. Rounding out the top ten are Randolph,
Union, Mecklenburg, Columbus, Johnston and Rockingham counties.

Commentary
Thanks Martha
I’m a tad late in writing a
Thanksgiving column this year.
Maureen Donald That aside, it is probably the
The Editor’s Desk most “thankful” one I have
written.
While the original Thanksgiving was a holiday meant to give
thanks for our blessings and celebrate the harvest that would hopefully see us through the winter.
In modern times, the meaning of Today Thanksgiving usually
includes feasting, four-day weekends, football games, floats, family reunions, or a forerunner to Christmas festivities.
But this Thanksgiving took on a special meaning for me and
frankly one I hadn’t thought of prior. A sad event has given the
holiday new meaning for me and undoubtedly, I’m not alone. I
now regard Thanksgiving as a day to not only to give thanks for
our blessings, but also for the people in our lives. One of those
individuals is most definitely Martha Hall who in an ironic twist
of fate passed away Thanksgiving Day. Somehow I know Martha
would have a punch line for that. She was like that.
To all who knew Martha, whether in person or through her writing, she will be missed. She will also be remembered with smiles
- as she would have wanted.
Martha was a superb writer who worked for several publications including The Pamlico News but more importantly, she was
a person who celebrated life each and every day. And she shared
that enthusiasm with everyone she met. Her wit was extraordinarily sharp and her self deprecating humor often hilarious.
Circumstances that would have gotten many of us down, Martha
turned into entertaining vignettes worthy of a spot on Saturday
Night Live. I laugh every time I think of Martha’s detailed account
of the time the second floor toilet in their home ended up on the
first floor.
She shared her stories with many folks who in turn gladly
shared with her. That was for one simple reason - Martha cared
about people, many of whom live in Pamlico County. She
never missed a year of traveling to the annual Goose Creek
Homecoming Play resulting in an always entertaining and insightful feature. The Historical Association was a regular beat for
Martha who loved to delve into Pamlico County’s heritage.
Her journalism career began in the mid-1990s through 2014
when illness forced her retirement. Her writing awards included a
1997 Heart & Torch Award from the American Heart Association,
a year after she underwent triple-bypass surgery. She also won
a 1999 Best Feature writing award from the American Cancer
Making Sense of Investing
Who knows where the
time goes? Although 2015
is almost in the books,
you can still make some year-end investment and
financial moves that may help you get off to a
good start in 2016. Here are a few suggestions:
• Boost your 401(k) contributions. Ask your employer if you
still have time to add more to your 401(k) before the year ends. If
not, at least increase your contributions in 2016, especially if your
salary goes up.
• Consider “tax-loss” selling. We experienced considerable turbulence in the financial markets this past year, so you may own
some investments that have lost value. Generally speaking, it’s a
good idea to hold these investments if they still meet your needs,
but if you do decide to sell them, you can use the loss to offset
capital gains taxes on investments you've sold that have appreciated. If the loss from the sale was greater than your combined
long- and short-term capital gains, you can deduct up to $3,000
Dan M. Roberts, IV

against other income. And if your losses exceed your capital gains
by more than $3,000, you can carry the remaining losses forward
to future tax years.
• Review your asset allocation. Make sure your asset allocation
– that is, your investment mix – is still appropriate for your time
horizon and goals. You might consider being a bit more aggressive
if you’re not meeting your financial targets, or more conservative
if you’re getting closer to retirement. If you want greater diversification, you might think about adding an asset class that tends to
react to market conditions differently from your existing investments. Diversifying your portfolio may help reduce the impact
of volatility; however, diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a
profit or protect against loss. If you do need to adjust, or “rebalance,” you can do so fairly easily in tax-deferred accounts, such as
your IRA or 401(k) – but for those investments held in a taxable
account, you should talk to your tax advisor on how to manage the
tax consequences of rebalancing.
• Evaluate your insurance situation. This past year, did you
Tips for a Safe and Festive Holiday Season
The holiday season is a great
time of year filled with fun activities and time with family. It’s easy

General
excitement but it’s important to
Roy Cooper
take the necessary precautions to
avoid crimes, scams and accidents.
Nothing ruins good cheer faster than becoming the victim
of a crime or scam. Rather than taking a break for the holidays,
criminals and con artists often prey on distracted shoppers and
target homes or cars filled with gifts. By using a little caution and
common sense, you can protect yourself and your loved ones this
holiday season.
· Make your home less appealing to thieves. Keep presents
away from windows and doors, and lock up every time you leave.
If you’re headed out of town, remember to stop delivery of your
mail or get someone to pick it up for you to make sure that iden-
tity thieves don’t get it. Also, consider setting your lights on an
automatic timer to make it look like someone is home.
· Stay safe while shopping. Use caution when shopping for gifts
by going during daylight hours when possible. If you have to shop
at night, try to go with a friend or family member. Park and walk
in well-lit areas, and lock valuables and packages in the trunk
rather than leaving them out where thieves may see them. If you
feel unsafe walking to your car after dark, ask a store clerk or mall
security for an escort.
· Shop safely online, too. If you shop online, stick to buying
from well-established companies with secure web sites (look for
a lock icon on the site and a web address that starts with “https”).
Keep records of your orders and pay by credit card to protect
yourself if your order doesn’t arrive.
· Require signature for deliveries. Thieves have been known
to follow delivery trucks into neighborhoods and steal packages
left on doorsteps. Ask a trusted friend or neighbor to pick up any
New Instructor Brings Statewide Online Program to PCC
By Townley Cheek
Pamlico Community College is only one of two schools in
the state of North Carolina with an Electroneurodiagnostic
Technology (EDT) program. The EDT program at PCC is online,
and it reaches students from across the country. Right now, the
program has enrolled students from 17 states.
While electroneurodiagnostic seems to be a couple of
root words combined to make a word from Mary Poppins’
‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,’ the program is more than that.
The EDT program trains students to make a difference and change
people’s lives.
EDT is the study of the central nervous system and the use of
diagnostic procedures to help with the diagnosis and treatment of
neurological diseases and conditions in people of all ages. These
conditions can range from headaches and dizziness to seizure disorders, strokes and degenerative brain disease.
Marc Williams the college’s current EDT instructor, is retiring
at the end of December. He has been part of the PCC family for
over five years. During that time, he helped the EDT program
grow and helped continue the program’s accreditation.
Understanding the importance of the program, PCC made it
a priority to find an instructor that knew the field well, but also
understood how to teach. Fortunately for PCC, two outstanding
graduates of the PCC EDT program applied for the position and
after a long interview process were ultimately offered the job.
Leslie Jones will take over as the new EDT instructor starting in
January. She is currently learning the ropes from Williams. Jones
is a 2010 graduate from the program. She has been employed with
Coastal Carolina Health Care since graduation, and served as an
adjunct instructor for the EDT program in fall 2014. On top of her
knowledge in the field, she currently serves on the EDT Advisory
Committee.
Ivey Cooper, a 2003 graduate of PCC’s EDT Program will
assume the role of Program Director in January. In addition
to her degree from PCC, Ivey has a degree in Medical Office
Administration from Craven Community College and a Bachelor
of Science in Healthcare Management from Mount Olive College.

“When I learned of the opening I was ecstatic,” says Jones.
“As a current EDT Tech, I was
already teaching students in
the field, and found it rewarding when you realized that the
students were learning, retaining, and progressing. EDT is an
important and rewarding field.
We do change lives!”
Jones understands that not
everyone has the same learning styles, and she wants to
make sure she addresses each
students’ needs on a direct and
personal basis. “I know that
EDT program can be intimidat- Leslie Jones will take over as the new EDT
ing. I have been there. But what instructor at PCC starting in January.
I have learned through my experience as a student, employee, and teacher is that everyone can
learn, you just have to be willing to understand different learning
styles and work with everyone. I have found that using simple, yet
correct, terms are always best.”
Leslie Jones has big ideas to bring to the PCC EDT program.
Being both a student at PCC and working in the EDT field, she
knows what each side is looking for and expecting, which is valuable in an instructor. “I love team work and am always open to
trying new ideas. All successful programs happen when you have
an open mind, listening ear, and a positive attitude,” says Jones.
To learn more about the PCC EDT program, contact Kasey
Melvin, Chair of General Studies and Allied Health, at kmelvin@
pamlicocc.edu or 252-249-1851 x 3040. You can also come out
to PCC on Tuesday, January 5 and Wednesday, January 6 from
8:30am-7pm to meet Jones and Cooper and see if EDT is right for
you.

• Start an emergency fund. If you don’t already have one, start
an emergency fund before the year is out. Ideally, you’d like to
have between six and 12 months’ worth of living expenses in such
a fund; without it, you might be forced to dip into your long-term
investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a new furnace,
a major car repair or a big medical bill. For this fund, you’re less
interested in return than in preservation of principal, so put your
money in a low-risk, liquid account.
Making these moves can help you close out 2015 on a positive
note – and ring in the new year with greater confidence in your
financial future.

· Remember that criminals and scammers don’t take a holiday.
Always be aware of your surroundings and protect your wallet and
access to your credit or debit cards when in public. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Consider paying by credit card because
federal law limits your liability if your credit card is stolen. And
never share personal information with telemarketers who call you
or respond to emails or text messages that ask you for personal
information.
I hope these tips will help you and your family stay safe and
happy during the holidays and into the New Year.

It's official! We have entered
the Christmas countdown. Every

day now we will see it in the

newspapers and hear it on the
Correspondent
radio and television, "16 shopping days until Christmas,"
15 shopping days until Christmas," "14 shopping days until
Christmas." All around are signs that Christmas is coming. Stores
are filled with Christmas decorations - Christmas music is playing on the radio and television - Christmas cards are arriving in
the mailbox - Christmas parties at work, at school, and at church.
There are plenty of signs that Christmas is coming, but 2000 years
ago when Jesus was born, there were no big signs to announce
that it was going to happen. There were no ads on the radio or TV
saying "Coming soon! A Savior will be born in a stable near you!"
When Jesus was born, many people were surprised! But as word
of his birth spread, some people remembered that prophets had
told them that God was going to send a Savior. They knew that
this baby, born in a manger, was God keeping His promise.
Christmas is a not only a wonderful time to celebrate the birth
of Jesus. It is also a time to remember that Jesus promised that he
would come again. We don't read much about that in the newspapers and we don't hear much talk about it on the radio or television, but Jesus told us to be prepared and to watch for his return.
As we look forward to Christmas day, we also look forward to the
day when Jesus will come again. Just as the people of Israel found
hope in the promises of God, we find hope in Jesus' promise that
he will come again. This season gives the church an opportunity to pull out all the stops and share, through words and music,
the wonderful and transforming news of the AWESOME and
AMAZING LOVE of God given through the gift of His Son, our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Bayboro Christmas parade was held on Saturday afternoon.
It was a nice day for our motorcycle friends riding in the parade.

The Woodmen of the World met Saturday night at the Golden

Many thanks to the group for this honor. The buffet meal was delicious and enjoyed by all.
Vandemere Methodist Church held their annual Love Feast
Sunday night. It was a beautiful program of scripture reading and

The Spirit of Christmas in Oriental is a holiday gift to the
people of Oriental from the town merchants, churches and civic
groups. For well over a decade, rain or shine, the second weekend in December, the town is decked in holiday attire. Businesses
and churches open their doors for musical offerings and yuletide
refreshments, and everyone is invited to stroll the luminarylined streets. People are entertained by local choral groups and
musicians. Decorated boats line the Oriental harbor, there is a
Christmas parade, and there is a live nativity on Saturday afternoon. The Spirit of Christmas is the work of almost everyone
in Oriental and it always puts me in a holiday mood. The Spirit
of Christmas is December 11-13 this year; mark your calendar
because you do not want to miss it. The Pamlico Chorale will
perform Friday night and Saturday night in the sanctuary of the
Oriental United Methodist Church.
My Uncle, Wilbur Williamson has celebrated 100 Christmases
but it may not be the Lord’s will for him to celebrate Christmas

make this the favorite time of the
year. Our neighbor across the road
has Rudolph with his shiny nose
pulling all the other reindeer and it really lights up the yard.
The rain has returned on this Monday morning with a chill in
the air. Last week was a busy one. Several members of the Fifty
plus Club decorated the Christmas tree at the Senior Center on
Tuesday, on Wednesday, company came from Durham and I gave
them a treat of fried oysters. On Thursday, Mrs. Ann at the Senior
Center helped me lower Weeks prescription plan that was getting
too expensive.
On Saturday, the Woodmen of the World Christmas Dinner was
held at the Golden Corral in New Bern and several of us got caught
by the parade in Bayboro. It was a very nice party and awards
were given to community leaders. Gayle Lupton received a certificate and pin for her years of safe driving a school bus. Joey
Lupton was given the Lifesaver award, Community action was
Donald Guthrie, Caring for others was given to Hank and Betty
Williams, and Community Leadership was given to Annette
Jones. Outstanding members recognized were Cathy Stewart,
Verna Roberson, Marena Potter, Santa Klotz, Nora Scholl, Carol
Johnson, Mike Cuthrell, Linda Cuthrell, Leroy Lupton, and Julia
Minor.
While the Woodmen were giving awards, the FlorenceWhortonsville Fire Department was having a Life Saving Award
celebration for the saving of Joan Ford who had a heart attack
about four weeks ago. Her daughter Elizabeth Cuthrell did CPR
for about seven minutes until the EMT's arrived to take over.
Elizabeth was given a plaque and the Life Saving Pin for her
work. Joan is doing so well now. It was a miracle that they were
able to save her.
Thanks to my neighbor, MeLydia for coming over to get my new

It is Old Fashion Christmas at Bethel on Sunday. Come and
join as we celebrate in our country clothes and enjoy a great meal.
Thought for the week---A woman went to the Post Office to
buy stamps for her Christmas cards. "What denomination?" asked
the clerk. "Oh good heavens! Have we come to this?" said the
woman. "Give me 50 Catholic and 50 Baptist ones."

Pamlico County Foundation Requests Community Help
and toys have exhausted our resources for the holiday season. We
do not want to turn away families whose children will not have
Christmas without our help, and for that reason we are asking for
additional assistance from our community.”
The Shoebox Project Foundation is in need of Wish List toys, as
well as clothes and shoes. Ms. Roy says, “You know a child is in
need when he/she asks Santa for shoes and socks for Christmas!
We are not asking for money, just clothing and Santa gifts, but gift
cards would be very welcome.” If you haven’t yet made your holiday donation, please consider helping at least one local child have
a happy holiday.

This month they have received a record-breaking number of

Oriental’s New Mayor, Town Board Members Sworn In

mayor at last week’s Town Board meeting.
A native of Oriental, Sally Belangia, was
officially sworn in as Mayor by assistant
clerk of courts, Sandy Clark. Locals know
Sally as the of Vice President of Citizens

takes the place of Mayor Warren Johnson,
former commissioner who stood in as town
Mayor in Bill Sage’s absence. Warren
thanked the current board and happily
handed over the gavel to Sally. Warren will
now serve on the Board of Adjustments.
Allen Price, a newcomer to the town of
Oriental, also
took the oath
of office and
will serve on
the Board of
Commissioners.
Allen received
the highest
number of votes
among the seven
candidates running for the
town’s vacancies.
Four incumbents, Charlie
Commissioner Barb Venturi
was named Mayor Pro Tem Overcash, David
at the Oriental Town Board White, Barb
meeting.
Veturi, and Sandy
Winfrey were re-elected.
Members of the Town Board thanked
both Johnson and outgoing Town
Commisioner, Larry Summers, for their
service and honored them both with
plaques.
Sally Belangia, was officially sworn in as Mayor by assistant clerk of courts, Sandy Clark (far right) while Town
Manager Diane Miller held the Bible.
Commisioner David White nominated
fellow Commissioner Barb Venturi to
Mayor Pro Tem. “I can’t think of anyone
with better experience and knowledge,”
said White of Venturi. Barb said she is
looking very much forward to serving
the town of Oriental for the next couple
of years. “The committees have done an
extraordinary job attracting visitors to the
town,” she added.
Town manager, Diane Miller, noted that
a certificate of occupancy has been issued
for the new restrooms located on the
waterfront by the towndocks and the pump
out station is up and running but, still
needs a final inspection by CAMA.
Although crime in the town of Oriental
is still down, Chief of Police, Dwaine
Moore, pointed out just a few incidents
that occurred over the last month including property being stolen from a boat, a
vehicle stolen by a transient boater which
has still not been found, an arrest at the
Oriental Mini Mart and an animal abandonment issue.
Barb Venturi noted that the Parks and
Recreation Board received a $2,000 from
the Harold H. Bate Foundation to purchase an upgraded fountain for Lupton
Park. Harold H. Bate was a philanthropist,
investor and retired lumber executive.
The foundation was formed to carry out
Bate’s vision of administering charitable
gifts wisely to enhance education, youth
recreation and the quality of life for all in
Craven, Pamlico and Jones counties and
East Carolina University.
“The fountain will enhance the park,”

for themselves and others, express joy and gratitude through their
thoughts, words, and actions, and nurture their physical and emotional health. The 3rd through 5th grade girls accomplished these
goals under the direction of trained coaches and through dynamic
interactive lessons that creatively integrated running games. The
girls organized and executed a community service project - stockings stuffed with basic necessities for the Coastal Women’s Shelter.
The ten week program culminated with the celebratory 5K Fun Run
that gave each girl a tangible sense of achievement.Girls on the
Run® was established in 1996 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Girls
on the Run of Pamlico County is an independent council of Girls on
the Run International, which has a network of 200+ locations across
the United States and Canada. In 2015, Girls on the Run held 359
running events with more than 612,000 participants, making it the
largest 5K series in the U.S. by number of events.
The success of Girls on the Run of Pamlico County is due to
the girls, the coaches, GOTR board members, volunteers, family members, and corporate as well as local sponsors including:
Axelson Chiropractic; Highland Industries, Inc.; Masters Wealth
Management; River Dunes; Ladies Golf Association of Minnesott
Golf and Country Club, and Rotary International.
The day was a true community-wide event. The Rotary Club
provided the tents, tables and chairs, the Pamlico County High
School Beta Club Members helped the girls truly sparkle with face
paint and hair glitter. Cheryl Thompson, the enthusiastic emcee and
D.J., kept the energy high throughout the memorable event.
Girls on the Run of Pamlico County strives to offer this program
to more girls throughout Pamlico County. Individual donations,
sponsorship of runners, 5K Fun Run sponsors, and corporate sponsors welcomed. Individuals interested in becoming coaches are also
needed. Training, coaching materials, and support from trained
coaches is provided. Call Betsy Hughes, Council Director, at (267)

Hurricanes Outscore Eagles, Will Face New Bern Next
Pamlico’s men’s basketball team rallied for a 65-58 win over the West Craven
Eagles in Wednesday’s non-conference game
in Vanceboro. The Eagles came out strong
converting 18-of-33 from the foul line and
forced Pamlico to turn the ball over 17 times.
According to Hurricanes Coach, Earl Sadler, his
team was lacking focus up until half time but
they eventually got their heads in the game and
closed it out great.
The Eagles outscored the Hurricanes, 27-17,
in the third quarter edging out the Hurricanes
by a score of 49-42. But, Pamlico closed it out
with a big fourth quarter. Daquan Dudley scored
29 points, with 10 in the final quarter. The
Hurricanes won the final quarter, 23-9. Dudley
also had seven rebounds, four steals and made
all 10 of his free throws. Cedric Coffey chipped
in 13 points and six rebounds and Jawaan Coffey
added nine points, 12 boards and four blocked
shots. Josiah Simmons scored nine and Sincere
Gibbs scored five for Pamlico. The Hurricanes
lost Friday's home non-conference game against
Ayden-Grifton in overtime by a score of 59-57.
Josiah Simmons led the Hurricanes with 19
points. Cedric Coffey added 10, while Daquan
Dudley, Jawaan Coffey and Trevian Ollison all
contributed nine points.
Defense and a strong all-around game helped
the women’s basketball team pull out a win
over West Craven in Vanceboro on Wednesday.

game which ended
in a 57-18 victory
for the Hurricanes.
Pamlico forced
West Craven into
26 first-half turnovers and built a
23-4 lead by the
end of the first
quarter. Briana
Jones racked up 13 points, four rebounds, four
assists and four steals. Her layup with 4:15 to
go in the third quarter put Pamlico ahead by 40
points. Leetasia Midgette scored 12, Roeshonda
Lee added 11, Laichelle Sparrow had nine,
Hydia Davis scored six, Nylaa Tut scored two,
Zyaja Mattocks two and Shiquies Branch scored

confidence booster for her team. The girls went
on to beat Ayden-Grifton on Friday in an away,
non-conference game by a score of 74 to 27.
Hydia Davis netted 15 for the Hurricanes, while
Zyaja Mattocks added 13 and Laichelle Sparrow
scored 11. Shi Branch, Jainaya Jones and
Leetasia Midgette all chipped in seven points

Annual Fall Blood Drive
The health science education students and PCHS’ Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) sponsored its annual fall American
Red Cross Blood Drive on October 27, 2015. PCHS collected 81 units of blood, exceeding its original of goal of 77 units with the support of PCHS’ student body, faculty, staff, and community.
Health Science Education curriculum teaches more than just health careers options. It teaches students skills they can utilize after
graduation whether they choose to enter post-secondary education or the workforce.
Upon completion of the health science education curriculum, students are eligible to complete several certifications and health care
registries. The certifications include the North Carolina Certified Nursing Aide I, North Carolina Home Health Aide, American Red
Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aide, CPR, and Automated External Defibrillator, Career Safety OSHA 10 General Industry, and
Prevent Blindness of North Carolina School-age Vision Screening. With these credentials, graduates may find gainful employment in
various health care facilities, often while they are attending college.
Working to Prevent Blindness
In October, PCHS Health Science II (HSII) students completed a three-hour training sponsored by Prevent Blindness North Carolina.
Upon completion of the training, students were eligible to take a written examination and demonstrate mastery of skills resulting in a
two-year renewable certification.
Prevent Blindness North Carolina is the state’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to preventing blindness
and preserving sight. The purpose is to identify and refer children with potential vision problems to an eye care professional for further
treatment.
On November 10, HSII students conducted mass screenings to test primary and elementary children for vision problems and refer
those who are suspect to eye care professionals. Approximately 395 primary and elementary students were screened.

All About Drones
By Montel Sparrow
The remotely piloted aircraft commonly referred to as drones are
starting to change the world. Drones have many different purposes
and as with any invention there are pros and cons.
One main purpose for the drones is military warfare. Dozens of
highly skilled al Qaeda commanders, trainers, bomb makers and
operatives have been taken off the battlefield. Plots have been disrupted that would have targeted international aviation, U.S. transit
systems, European cities and our troops in Afghanistan. This is all
thanks to the drones.
With the good there is also the bad when it comes to the drones.
If you look at the official figures collected by independent researchers, attempts to kill 41 militant commanders have resulted in the
deaths of estimated 1,200 people. That means that for each militant
commander the US has killed, more than 30 civilians have also
died. Even though drones have managed to kill high-profile terrorist leaders such as Baitullah Mehsud and Hakimullah Mehsud, the
number of innocent civilians being killed along with them must be
cut down.
People consider these drones expensive but actually drones will
save money and are more energy efficient. Drones cost $1000 as
compared to $1,000 per-hour-manned aerial vehicles performing the
same tasks. Also, the more drones that are delivering your Amazon
packages and spraying your crops, the fewer semi-trucks and planes
are burning up fossil fuel. Then Americans are definitely sensitive when they think their jobs are being taken away, especially by
robots.
According to the same AUVSI report, the drone industry would
create about 100,000 jobs from 2015-2025. The drone industry will
require manufacturers, monitors, maintenance, and controllers in
order take off. So instead of taking away jobs, the drones will actually require new positions. Drones have the potential to transform
multiple industries including telecommunications, weather forecast,
maritime monitoring, transportation, search and rescue, and oil and
gas exploration.
With the new drone purchased for the Drafting classes, we intend
to have lots of fun. We are going to fly it over different objects to
get views of objects that we have never seen before, then record
anything that looks interesting using the drone’s top and bottom
camera. The drone can also do flips and twists that make the drone
very fun to just fly around. Drones can be good for serious matters
and playful matters. They help save people’s lives as well as bring a
playful joy. Drones are a new great innovation for today’s society.
Leadership Conference
The members of the Pamlico County High School Family
Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA)

projects that represent the research they have done within
their community. FCCLA’s mission is to promote personal
growth and leadership development through Family &
Consumer Sciences Education. Students will improve in
the areas of character development, creative and critical
thinking, interpersonal communication, practical knowledge, and career preparation.

Achieve a Healthy Mind to Achieve a Healthy Body
When it comes to getting into shape most people think about
weight loss and toned bodies. Western culture contends that there
is a relationship between the the body and the mind and how each
has the power to affect the other. It is suggested that cultivating a
love of movement can help you get beyond the concept of physical fitness as separate from mental fitness.
Studies show that exercising makes you feel good, can improve
your mental health and help you sleep better. By incorporating
regular activity, whether it be yoga or some other form of exercise, into your daily life you are closer to overall mind and body
fitness. Susan Koepp, E-RYT, NP, and Operator of Partners in
HealthYoga Studio in Oriental says that Yoga is a 5,000- year-old
wisdom tradition and describes it as a science and art that offers
a holistic approach to body/ mind healing and wellness. “Yoga
encourages and develops the practice of mindfulness and awareness through physical postures, breathing techniques and meditation. There are countless health benefits related to a regular Yoga
practice. It is so much more than being bendy and flexible,” says
Koepp.
Koepp believes that over time, yoga should become something
we live, not just something we practice. “The inevitable pressures
of life have less of an impact on us as we respond in a more conscious manner. As we become more balanced and harmonious, our
interactions with people and situations become more deliberate,
calm and relaxed. Managing stress through the healthful practice
of yoga benefits the whole being,” she adds.
Experts suggest that when choosing a physical activity to make
part of your exercise regimine, make sure it is a realistic fitness
option and something that is enjoyable to you. Start by defining
exercise as any activity that connects your mind and body and
reduces your stress level. When setting fitness goals, be realistic
about what you expect from yourself so as not to set yourself up
for failure. An all-or-nothing approach may lead you to biting off
more than you can chew and then giving up. A successful plan
should fit your lifestyle and be tailored to your personal preferences.
Once you have decided on an exercise plan that you are com-

to keep the mind and body in balance.
Experts agree that an active
mind is a healthy mind. So, challenge yourself to keep your brain
mentally active. Learn a new, language, take up a new sport, learn
to play an instrument, work on crossword puzzle or simply read a
book. Just by taking an active interest in feeding your brain with
positive information can help with overall mind wellness.
Keeping a positive attitude is also key to a “healthy” mind.
Developing a positive outlook on the way we see and do things
can lead to a greater sense of well being.
Wellbeing can mean different things to different people but
some common features include having a sense of purpose, feeling good and functioning well, having control in your life and the
options to change things if necessary, as well as achieving goals
you set for yourself.
Studies suggest that fitness of mind and body belong together,
and that exercise is associated with physical as well as mental
well-being. So, remember to redefine exercise as any activity that
reduces stress and connects your mind and body. Focus on how
feeling with your exercise routine and make sure it is something
you enjoy and can maintain. If it is reducing your stress level and
allowing a connection between your mind and body, you will most
likely stick with it, and fitness of mind and body and spirit will be
yours.

CarolinaEast Looks to Future of Cancer Clinical Trials
CarolinaEast Cancer Center, in partnership with UNC Health
Care, is committed to providing comprehensive cancer care and
prevention for individuals in Craven, Jones, Pamlico counties and
surrounding areas. In keeping with this mission, CarolinaEast
Cancer Center Executive Director Dawn Peele recently attended a
comprehensive, National Cancer Institute funded two-day course
for professional nurses and cancer program administrators from
community cancer settings to improve local access to clinical trials.
Dawn Peele was one of 50 competitively selected Nurse/
Administrator teams from community cancer settings across the
United States chosen to attend this course.
“The principal goal of the course was to provide hands-on training in fundamental aspects of clinical research so that nurses and
administrators like myself can increase our knowledge, skills and
growth of clinical research activities,” said Peele. “CarolinaEast
Cancer Center is looking forward to implementing cancer clinical
trials in the future. This will include screening, accrual and maintenance of patients on the trials,” she adds. Construction of a new,
leading edge cancer center on Neuse
Boulevard will prove to make available
specialists, protocols and clinical trials
never before available in our region, and
this specialized training is a step in the
right direction.
Clinical research trials are the backbone of scientific advances against
cancer. Participation in clinical trials
at the local community level depends
upon an organized research infrastructure and research-trained personnel to
work on the trials. Three major medical
centers, The University of Pennsylvania,
Mt. Sinai Medical Center and the City of Hope Comprehensive
Cancer Center received a five year grant from the National Cancer
Institute to carry out this course. The course was conducted by a
distinguished faculty of researchers, educators, authors and leaders
in the field of Clinical Trials.

Make a Difference this Holiday Season
Give a Gift No One Will Return
BHPC’s Aurora’s playgroup can welcome additional parents and children. They can work with a group of about 12-15 children and
their parents/grandparents/caregivers. For more information contact: [email protected].
Beaufort-Hyde Partnership for Children at S.W. Snowden
Share the joy and give the perfect, lasting gift! It’s easy to
improve the lives of local pets and their families. Upon receipt
of your donation to the program(s) below, the recipients you
choose will receive lovely cards acknowledging your generosity.
You can make a difference!
This year the Beaufort-Hyde Partnership for Children (BHPC) began a playgroup for local children
ages 18 months to 5 years on the campus of S.W. Snowden. There has been a Washington group for
10 years and the initiative is to branch out with more playgroups elsewhere in the county. The groups
are led by Parent Educators. While each of BHPC’s Parent Educators will continue to make home
visits, the organization wants to provide a free, educational and fun option for families that cannot
drive to Washington every Thursday for playgroup. Lisa Woolard, the Executive Director, directed
Parent Educator Jackie Boyd to begin making plans for additional playgroups last summer. BHPC
started a new playgroup in Belhaven in September, the Aurora group on October 22 and will begin
a new group in Swan Quarter on 1/8/16. A fifth playgroup is being considered for the Bath or
Pinetown area. The main objective with playgroup is to help children be ready for kindergarten
entry. Some families cannot afford preschool and this gives the children an opportunity learn how
to play with other children and transition to different activities: circle-story time. table time-crafting/
art/activity, free play, snack, clean up and go home. The SWS playgroup will participate in the Week
of the Young Child Parade and festival that takes place in April in downtown Washington. They will
march in the parade, have a picnic lunch and then enjoy some time at the festival.

On a Musical Note
5B
Ring in the New Year in Oriental
with Jazz Artist Shana Tucker
Direct from Las Vegas and the
Cirque du Soleil, cellist and vocalist
Shana Tucker is proud to showcase her
many talents in Pamlico County. This
Grammy-nominated jazz artist will perform at The Old Theater in Oriental on
Friday, January 8, at 7:30 p.m., following
a free informance and song-writing workshop from 1-3:30 PM the same day at
the Pamlico County Library in Bayboro.
Both events are hosted by the Pamlico
Musical Society.
Shana’s style and sound as been
described as a mash-up of Dianne
Reeves, Joni Mitchell, and Tracy
Chapman. "I’m intrinsically drawn to
‘real’ instruments, with resonance, tone
and depth that can sound without amplification”, she says. Crossovers and connections are a central theme of Shana’s
music, which she credits to the influences
of her jazz and classical roots, as she
meshes her mezzo-soprano voice with the
cello.
The Cirque du Soleil’s talent recruiter discovered Shana on NPR and invited her to join the worldclass theatrical production company as cellist and mezzo-soprano for KÀ, their unprecedented, gravity-defying production at the MGM Grand Hotel. Shana currently balances mainstage performances
in listening rooms, performing arts centers and at festivals throughout the country with her continuing
role for Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas.
"Shana is one of those artists you never want to see leave your venue. The concert was amazing...
following the encore and two standing ovations — the lobby was still buzzing and the audience didn't
want to leave." — JOHN ELLIS, DIANA WORTHAM THEATRE, ASHEVILLE NC
Devoted to arts education for young students, Shana works to incorporate inspiring outreach opportunities with workshops and classes wherever she appears. Her informance and workshop on Friday
afternoon, 8 January, from 1- 3:30 pm at the Pamlico County Library is an opportunity for students
and the general public to learn about the elements of songwriting and composition. It is free and
open to the public.
Tickets to Shana Tucker’s concert on Friday night are $22 and are available at Nautical Wheelers,
411 Broad Street in Oriental or online at www.pamlicomusic.org For more information or to be
added to the wait list, call 252-617-2125. Tickets for sold-out shows may become available at the
door last minute. Check at the box office at 7:15.
For helping to make this concert possible, Pamlico Musical Society wishes to thank our season
sponsor, Silos Restaurant of Oriental; and our corporate sponsors, Comfort Air of New Bern and The
Rogue Scot. We are also grateful for a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, A division of the
Department of Cultural Resources. Pamlico Musical Society is a non-profit organization bringing
quality musical entertainment, enrichment, and education to Pamlico County, and we welcome your
support! To learn more about the benefits of joining us, including advance ticket sales and artists'

RALEIGH — Stories of the “southern experience”
are as prolific as kudzu. A new exhibit, Southern
Impressions: Paintings From the James-Farmer
Collection, at the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh
will take you on a historical journey that explores the
cultural heritage, dramatic landscapes and diverse peoples that have shaped the South and the southern experience. Opening Friday, Dec. 11, the exhibit will feature
40 loaned paintings from the collection of Dr. Everette
James and Dr. Nancy Farmer, of Chapel Hill, alongside
museum artifacts. The free exhibit will run through July
4, 2016.
“The variety of paintings by native-born and visiting artists captures their unique reflections of the
South from 1820 through 1950,” says Michael Ausbon,
Associate Curator of Decorative Arts. “The artists
convey the beauty — and the harsh realities — of the
region’s history.”
For example, “Lady With a Flower Basket” depicts
daily life in Charleston, S.C., and “Swamp Scene With
Cabin” highlights the South’s breathtaking scenery. On
the other hand, “Cotton Picking” is a scene of enslaved
individuals at work.
Artists with works featured in Southern Impressions
range from Sarah Miriam Peale, of the noted Peale family of painters, to Eugene Healan Thomason, who is recognized as the “Ashcan Artist of Appalachia.” Ashcan
artists portrayed gritty realism in the early-20th-century
American experience.
“Swamp Scene With Cabin” by Knute Heldner (1886?-1952) of Sweden. Heldner immigrated to the

region’s diverse cultural heritage. Among the objects
are a pottery vessel created by a member of the Eastern
Band of Cherokee Indians and a dulcimer made by an Appalachian craftsman.
Greeting exhibit visitors will be an eye-catching, organically inspired “bottle tree” made
by Durham metal artist Jeremy Stollings. The southern tradition of placing bottles on tree
limbs near a home’s entrance reaches back to central African traditions and to superstitious
Europeans who believed that evil spirits roaming at night could be captured in empty glass
bottles.
“The Civil War and race are two of the most enduring legacies of southern culture, and the
exhibit features artifacts that contextualize these issues in southern history,” notes Ausbon.
Near a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, for instance, is General Order Number 9 that Lee
issued to announce the surrender of forces under his command at Appomattox Court House,
Va., on April 10, 1865. Only 12 official
copies were made for distribution to the
Army of Northern Virginia, including
this one which passed into the possession of Maj. James Franklin Beall of
Davidson County.
“The exhibit encourages sharing and
‘sorting out’ our collective memories of
the South,” emphasizes Ausbon. “These
memories are part of a complex story,
and they play a vital role in determining “Lady With a Flower Basket” by Alfred Heber Hutty
of Michigan. Hutty became central to
how we live in the present and how we (1877-1954)

Dr. James and Dr. Farmer have built
a specialized art collection that is not
only distinctively southern but that also honors women artists. Dr. James received
the 2015 North Carolina Award, the highest civilian honor given by the state, which
recognizes significant contributions to the state and nation in the fields of fine art,
literature, public service and science.
Dr. James is a dedicated historian and philanthropist who has guest-curated
many exhibitions and published more than 500 articles and 20 books. His wife,
Dr. Farmer, is a distinguished educator who is active in many cultural programs
throughout the state. She is a dedicated philanthropic partner in managing their col“Going Home” Eugene Healan Thomason (1895-1972) of South lections.
