Primary Scheduled for March 15: Know Your Rights
NOTABLE
By Brent Ducharme
Attorney-Fellow with the UNC Center for Civil Rights As the March 15 primary approaches, recent
changes in state voting law are adding an extra
layer of confusion for North Carolinians navigating the path to the polls. It is vital for voters to be
prepared for the election on March 15. Voters with
questions or concerns can call the national Election Protection hotline at 888-OUR-VOTE (888-6878683). The hotline is available during early voting and will be staffed by volunteer attorneys and
trained UNC Law students on Election Day. Under
North Carolina law, the last day to register for the
March 15 primary was February 19. If you failed
to register last week, you can still vote during the
early voting period, which is scheduled to last from
March 3 to March 12. During early voting, you can
go to an early voting site, register, and vote in one
stop. There is no same-day registration on Election
Day (March 15). During the early voting period,
registered voters can cast a ballot at any of the
designated early voting sites in their county. Check
with your local county Board of Elections for
information on where early voting sites are located
and when they will be open. If you plan to vote
on March 15, you should vote at your assigned
precinct. If you vote within your county but out of
precinct on March 15, you will be issued a provisional ballot that will only count in contests you are
eligible to participate.
On Election Day (March 15), the polls will be
open from 6:30am to 7:30pm. All voters will be
asked to present a photo ID. Acceptable photo
IDs include a North Carolina driver’s license or
other DMV-issued photo ID, a U.S. passport, a
U.S. military ID card, or a tribal enrollment card.
The address listed on the photo ID does not need
to match the address on a voter’s registration.
However, school-issued student IDs will not be
accepted. Voters who arrive to the polls without
an acceptable ID can still cast a provisional ballot.
Provisional ballots, and accompanying declaration forms that explain why a voter does not have
a photo ID, will be available at all voting sites.
Voters casting provisional ballots must also either:
(1) provide their birth date and the last four digits
• Call for Chefs!
Get those aprons out and recipes ready.
Yummy! The annual Chowder Cook Off is set
for Saturday March 12 from 11- 1:30. The event
is the kick off event for the 2016 fun-time in
Oriental season and will continue the celebration
of the Oriental Woman’s Club 100th anniversary.
It’s time for all prospective chefs to register for
the event. Registration deadline is March 8. To
enter please contact Carol McAdoo at 745-7762.
of their Social Security Number on the declaration form; or (2) present a voter registration card,
bank statement, utility bill, or government document with their name and address on it. If you
encounter or observe any problems while trying to
vote, call the national Election Protection hotline
at 888-OUR-VOTE (888-687-8683). Remember
these important points and exercise your constitutional right to vote: 1) if you didn’t register before
February 19 and you want to vote, you must vote
during the early voting period, from March 3 to
March 12; 2) vote early if possible at any early
voting location in your county, but on Election
Day go to your assigned polling place; and 3)
bring your photo ID, but even if you don’t have
one, you can still vote!

Prom Gowns Needed for a Special Cause
BAYBORO - The Shoebox Project Foundation, a
local nonprofit based in Pamlico County, works
with local schools and social service agencies
throughout the year to provide necessities for
local kids and teens. Recently they learned that
some local teen girls had a need for Prom dresses,
which can be very expensive.
“I remember my own prom more than half a
century ago,” recalls Tye Roy, coordinator at the
foundation. “It was a magical night and although I
wore a second-hand gown, I felt like a princess.”
Fortunately, Marsha Paplham, owner of
Marsha’s Cottage in Oriental, and one of the
Shoebox Project’s volunteer Fairy Godparents,
Linda Gibson of River Dunes, have stepped in
to make local girls feel like princesses on Prom
Night too.
Marsha’s Cottage, 204 Wall Street on the harbor in Oriental, invites you to help make a young
lady's Prom night extra special on Wednesday,
March 9th. Please gather up any gently used
evening wear, shoes, shawls and other accessories and bring them to the Cottage. While there
you may enjoy refreshments from 1-5 p.m. and a
chance to browse any of Marsha’s beautiful new
Spring deliveries. Yes, Spring is on the way, and
this will be a fun opportunity to meet old and new
friends while
helping some
local girls prepare for their
memory-making dance.
Parents and
girls interested
in one of the
free Prom
gowns can
contact their
school guidance
counselor or
social worker.
Some dresses
have already
been donated
by the Shoebox More than a half-century has passed
since Tye Roy worn this beautiful secProject, and

are available
now. If further
information is needed about the Tea at Marsha’s
Cottage, call (252) 249-0334. Anyone interested
in volunteering throughout the year as a member
of the Fairy Godparent Circle, email tyeroy@
gmail.com or call (252) 649-2456 or 670-3862.
After three straight playoff wins in one week,
the Pamlico County Girl’s Basketball team is
looking ahead to being part of the elite four
in the NCHSAA Women’s Basketball State
Championships 1-A Conference.
The Lady Canes beat the Southside Seahawks
at home last Tuesday by a score of 66-13.
Congratulations to #21, Roeshonda Lee for
being named Pamlico County Girls Basketball
Player of the Game. The Junior Guard netted 13
points for the Canes. Thursday’s game against
the East Carteret Mariners was a nail biter, but in
the end, the Hurricanes slipped by the Mariners
by just one point with a final score of 49-48.
Congratulations to #14, Briana Jones for being
selected the PC Girls Basketball Player of the
Game. “She hit the biggest shots of her career,”
said coach April Rose of her senior point guard
who scored 15 points for the girls.
The Northampton Jaguars were no match for
the Lady Canes in Saturday’s home, third round
playoff game. Pamlico’s defense forced 33 turnovers cementing a 74-42 win over the Jaguars.
The Lady Canes out-scored Northampton 22-4 in
the first quarter and dominated the fourth, 23-8.
The Hurricanes scored the last 10 points of the game.
Game high scorers were Briana Jones with 25
points, Junior, Laichelle Sparrow with 11. Juniors,
Alexis Hawkins-Pool and Zyaja Mattocks both
had 10. The girls, 26-3 overall and 12-0 in the
conference are the number 3 seed in the East.
See scores from last night’s fourth round,
playoff game against the Plymouth Vikings,
27-1 overall and 18-0 in the conference, in next
week’s issue. The winner of the game will play in
Regionals this Friday.
In a surprise move Monday afternoon, director of the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries,
Louis Daniel III, submitted his resignation after
just over nine years in the position.
An e-mail from John Evans, chief deputy secretary of the N.C. Department of Environmental
Quality, alerted department staff that Daniel’s
resignation was effective immediately.
Evans said in the email that Col. Jim Kelley,
head of the N.C. Marine Patrol since Jan. 2014,
will serve as acting director of the division.
Kelley has been with Marine Patrol for more
than 25 years.
Jerry Schill, president of the North Carolina
Fisheries Association was surprised by the news.
“Since I traded texts with Louis as late as 2pm
yesterday to get clarification on some issues,
this news came as a bit of a shock when I heard
it at 4pm on the way home from a meeting,”
Schill said. “Even though everyone involved
with fisheries management knows that the
Director’s position can be a very difficult one,
Louis was in that position for over 9 years and
is second only to Pres Pate in longevity.”
“I’m a believer that everything happens for
a reason, so this will end up being good for
Louis and his family. It will probably add years
to his life, given the stress involved. As for our
relationship, we were very far from agreeing on
everything, but kept communication open and
respectful. He was always available to talk, and
for that I’m very grateful.”
“Now begins the difficult process for the
Governor to name a replacement. The division
has not issued a statement on the resignation or
succession plans.”
Per Daniel’s contract with the state, he was
offered another position in state government at
the same salary he earned when he assumed his
position as director.

Weekly Horoscope
Aries (March 21-April 19)
For the next three months,
you will be more enthusiastic
about life! Your natural desire
to explore new realms and
pioneer ideas will be ignited.
Many of you will travel.
Others will explore opportunities to learn
more through higher studies or advanced
courses. Opportunities in publishing, the
media, medicine and the law will abound.
Admittedly, legal conflicts might arise. But
on the whole, the next three months promise
adventure, a change of scenery and exciting chances to expand your mind and your
experience of the world. All you have to do is
decide what you want to do with this exciting
opportunity! “Packing tropical?”
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
In the next three months,
disputes about shared property, taxes, debt and anything
jointly held with others might
arise. You might also have
conflicts with partners about
shared responsibilities. On the upside, a
resolution to these conflicts is now possible.
In another vein (different arm) - this same
three month period will amp your sex drive!
You might want to explore new ways of how
you express yourself sexually. But the biggest area that you will explore in the next
three months is how you meet and deal with
the values of those who are closest to you.
Will you fight about these values and dispute
them? Or will you find a common ground?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Mars is energetic and
aggressive and very much
tied up with our ego. For the
next three months, when
Mars is opposite your sign,
you will experience ego
conflicts with partners and close friends. It’s
unavoidable. In many cases, a third party
might help you out, especially because you
might not be open to compromise. On the
upside, it will give you a chance to clear the
air, which is something we often do not do.
But definitely - avoid needless fighting and
controversy because it can weaken a good
relationship. Remember: This is a temporary
stress that will not last forever. That light at
the end of the tunnel is not a train.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
For the next three
months, Mars will help you
to work hard. You will be
pumped with energy to
achieve whatever you want
on the job or for any task
that you set for yourself. The only downside
is you will be so keen, you will expect others
to work just as hard. But hey - Mars might
not be in that part of their chart. They might
want to kick back, relax and play! That’s
because Mars activates different parts of
our charts according to our sign. Therefore,
use this energy to your best advantage to
accomplish what you want; but do not be
judgmental about others. They’re not slackers - you’re just gung-ho.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Fiery Mars will help you
in the next three months
because it will recharge your
energy to play and be creative. Those who work in the
arts, the entertainment world
or the hospitality industry will be enthused
about what you do! All Leos will want to go
on vacation. They will want to party, enjoy
the theatre, musical performances, social
diversions and playful activities with children.
Sports events will be fun; in fact, Leos who
are involved in sports will be motivated and
competitive! Romance and love affairs will
get a boost of sexual energy and pizzazz.
Enjoy this playful time but remember to get
enough rest to keep up this fun pace!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You will be surprised
you at how much energy
you have in the next three
months for home improvements or big projects that
involve the family or something to do with real-estate speculation.
That’s because all of these areas are where
you suddenly will have energy to burn! You
will want to work hard to secure your home,
as well as fix it up so that it’s the way you
want it to be. Admittedly, family disputes
might arise because you are opinionated
about what you want. You will definitely call
the shots. Make sure that your increased
focus on family and home doesn’t alienate
you from a family member. That would be
so contrary to what you actually want to
achieve. Duh?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are a social sign. You
enjoy the company of others.
In the next three months,
you will love the boost to all
your interactions -- be they
talking, writing or visiting
with others (especially siblings, neighbours
and friends). Because Mars will magnify your
energy, you will embrace a busier schedule.
Short trips, errands and discussions with
everyone will keep you hustling! Furthermore,
your communications will have strong energy.
You’ll be decisive, forthright and aggressive.
You will persuade others to agree with you.
You will sell your ideas! This is a great time
for those who write, market, teach and act nevertheless, embrace your Libran charm and
diplomacy. You need to be loved.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You will be stoked to
make money in the next three
months. This will manifest
in several ways. For starters, you’re going to dream
up moneymaking ideas.
Furthermore, you will have the energy to
implement these ideas and get them off the
ground. Some might explore self-employment
or how to make money on the side. Others
will be keen to make major purchases
because Mars will make you identify with
what you own more than usual. “Look who I
am!” Be aware of this tendency so that you
don’t rack up too much debt. Disputes about
possessions or the ownership of something
might also arise. On the positive side, you will
see ways to use what you own to do what
you want to do.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You will definitely feel
a change in the next three
months while fiery Mars is
in your sign. No question.
For starters, it will make you
more assertive and more
ready to fight for your rights. You might even
fight for the rights of others. One benefit is
that it gives you tons of energy to use to
do whatever it is you want to do - work,
plan, implement, directly energies of others,
whatever. Therefore, this will be a productive
time for you! Just be careful about being too
bossy. All your relationships will have more
energy, especially romantic relationships.
Every aspect of your life will be supercharged
with enthusiasm and activity. Yowsers!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The placement of Mars in
the next three months is just
what the doctor ordered for
Capricorns. Two major things
are going on in your life: One
is you are divesting yourself
of what is no longer important
or relevant. (This includes people.) The second
big influence is you are getting ready for a fantastic year where you will promote your reputation and good name. This lovely influence
will begin late this year and flourish all of 2017.
Therefore, use the next three months to plan,
research and reflect upon your goals. You’re
undergoing big changes right now and headed
in a new direction, which means you have to
think about what it is you want to do, and who
you want to be.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You understand the power
of gathering together likeminded individuals to bring
about change for the better in
your community, your country
or the world. (You guys think
big.) In the next three months,
you will have wonderful energy to achieve
goals that require group activities or the
cooperation of others. You will stand out as
a natural leader. Your networking skills will be
fabulous. Quite likely, your humanitarian goals
will be fired up, which is why you will embrace
projects and make abstract ideas become
concrete realities. “We can do this!” Be kind to
yourself and don’t take on more than you can
handle. We all have our kryptonite.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
For the next three months,
fiery Mars is at the top of your
chart arousing your ambition
as never before. You will be
determined to make a name
for yourself. This will manifest
professionally in your career, or personally, as
you relate to your community. Consciously
or unconsciously, you will do things to make
others notice you and especially to respect
you. Self-promotion will come easily. You will
be PowerPoint on steroids. You want to be
your own boss and you want credit for what
you do. All of this is just fine - but don’t leave
home without your diplomacy. Obviously, the
downside is you will threaten bosses and
people in authority, including parents.

“Helping the Helpless”
Spay and Neuter Assistance Program
PAWS provides low-cost spay and neuter
assistance to those needing help to “fix” their
pets. We issue vouchers for use at local vets, or
at the Spay Today clinic in Greenville.
Our mission is to reduce the pet overpopulation problem in Pamlico County and surrounding areas by preventing hundreds of unwanted,
innocent animals from being born. They are
often neglected, abandoned or killed in shelters so altering your pets
before they breed is the humane and common-sense solution.
We are here to help! Take action today!
“Saving one animal doesn’t change the world, but it
changes the world for that one animal.”
PAWS is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that relies
solely on donations. Find out more about us and how you can help at

Here’s what one of Allen’s customers
had to say...
Allen found properties that met our criteria, gave
us a tour of Oriental, and we submitted an offer
on the one we wanted. Through every stage of
the process – negotiations, inspections, closing,
Allen was right on top of everything and helped
us make our purchase a very pleasant experience. We highly recommend Allen.

The Village Gallery
welcomes Anna Vaughn
Creech as its guest artist
for the months of March
and April. Located at 300
Hodges Street in Oriental,
an opening reception will
be held Saturday, March
5 from 2 until 5pm at the
Gallery.
Originally from Tarboro,
Anna Vaughn Creech is
now a Raleigh-based artist
and designer whose work is
inspired by her years spent
beside Australian beaches
and her lifelong memories
of the North Carolina coast.
Her current series work explores the colors, subject matter and free,
weathered nature of the ocean and the intrinsic human relationship to the
sea. With a background in both art and design (BFA in Art, concentration in graphic design, ECU) and career moves ranging from magazine
publishing to painting instructor to stationery designer, Anna Vaughn
incorporates a variegated style into her bright acrylic and mixed media
paintings. She currently works out of her home studio space in Raleigh
— when not in her studio, you can most likely find her down by the sea,
soaking up inspiration, salt air and endless horizon lines. More about the
artist and the art can be found at: www.aviationstudio.com.
The Village Gallery is a cooperative non profit Gallery of local and
regional artists, including painters, potters, sculptors, photographers, and
weavers. In March, the Gallery returns to its seasonal hours of operation
from 10am-5pm Wednesdays through Sundays. For more information,
please visit villagegallerync.com, call Judy Wayland at 252 2491505 or
call the Gallery during normal hours of operation at 252 249 0300.

Education
Adventure Camp Scheduled to Start Soon
The Burroughs Wellcome Foundation, through
its Student Science Enrichment Program (SSEP),
has funded a Children’s Engineering Adventure
Camp to be held at the Pamlico County Library.
This three-year, $155,000 project, is an afterschool and summer engineering adventure camp
open to all K-8 students. It connects students
K-12 with an excellent hands-on science/engineering/math curriculum to increase their skills
and ignite their interest in STEM learning. The
grant provides for engineering, “maker-space”
resources to gradually become available to
library patrons, including iPADs, computers, and
engineering kits for checkout. The preschool
storytime includes a new “Little Builders”
program where the little people can explore
with the building materials funded through
this grant. Another exciting component is the
partnership between the public schools and the
public library. The program allows high school
students, in a STEM Club, to explore hands-on
science experiences in the context of planning
for and teaching younger students in the summer camp. Engineering design challenges bring
science and math learning to bear in an applied
learning, real-world context. Dr. Tammy Scot, from East Carolina
University and Arapahoe Charter School, is the
project director and will work directly with all
of Pamlico County’s public schools and the public library. Ms. Jen Baker, of Pamlico County
Schools is the Pamlico High School coordinator.
Dr. Maureen Grady from ECU’s Department
of Mathematics, Science and Technology
Education is the grant evaluator. Leading the
professional development and mentoring component of the grant is Dr. Ricky Castles from
the Engineering Department at East Carolina
University. Engineers from Fleet Readiness East
will serve as mentors and consultants.
The afterschool camp will begin in early
March while the summer camp will be held
August 8-12th. Flyers/applications will be sent
home with students from the schools and are
also available at Pamlico Public Library. You
can find further information on the Engineering
Adventure Camp website at https://sites.google.

Community Foundation Opens Scholarship Season
Girl Scouts Celebrate National Cookie Weekend
RALEIGH – Girl Scouts – NC Coastal
Pines will join councils across the country this
February 26 through 28 to participate in National
Girl Scout Cookie Weekend 2016, celebrating
all of the fun and excitement Girl Scouts have
had selling cookies for nearly a century. National
Girl Scout Cookie Weekend will give girls from
central and eastern North Carolina a chance to
show off their cookie-selling skills by participating in booth and door-to-door sales throughout
the Council’s 41-country footprint.
National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend gives
Girl Scouts – NC Coastal Pines an opportunity
to highlight some of their most creative and successful cookie entrepreneurs and how their cookie earnings benefit the surrounding community.
During Girl Scout Cookie season, each amazing
young #cookieboss is not only selling delicious
cookies; she’s also building essential life skills:
goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—the
“5 Skills” of the cookie program. And the more
cookies girls sell, the more money they have to
invest in community service projects and learning experiences, like travel opportunities.
“The Girl Scout Cookie Program is about
more than cookies,” said Lisa Jones, CEO of
Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines. “It
teaches girls basic business skills and instills a
lifelong sense of civic responsibility that creates
leaders. At Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal
Pines we have so many amazing girls doing positive things with their cookie earnings. We can’t
wait for National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend
and to celebrate our girls and help them meet
their cookie-selling goals for the year!”
One hundred percent of the net revenue raised
through Girl Scout Cookie sales in the 41-county
area stays with Girl Scouts – North Carolina
Coastal Pines and its troops, so customers who
purchase Girl Scout Cookies are not only getting
a delicious treat—they’re making an important
investment in their communities.
“National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend is one
of the most exciting occasions on the Girl Scout
calendar,” said Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of
Girl Scouts of the USA. “It’s our opportunity to
speak with one unified voice and tell the story of
the Girl Scout Cookie Program and everything
it does to prepare the next generation of female
Just like home. Only better.

leaders. Beyond just benefiting girls, the cookie
program has a positive impact on the communities around them, as it makes girls aware of
important issues and gives them the means and
inspiration to take action. For nearly a century,
selling cookies has been one of the most powerful and successful tools in transforming girls
into leaders who make a positive impact on their
communities.”
During this year’s Cookie Weekend, hungry
cookie customers will be able to get their hands
on classic cookies, like Thin Mints and Caramel
DeLites, as well as our newest varieties, Trios
and Cranberry Citrus Crisps, which made their
debut last year. The Trios variety is a gluten-free
peanut butter, chocolate chip, oatmeal cookies,
while the Cranberry Citrus Crisps is a whole
grain cookie with cranberry bits and a tangy citrus flavor.

About the Girl Scout Cookie Sale Program
Everything girls do in Girl Scouting is
designed to help them grow into women of courage, confidence and character. The Girl Scout
Cookie Program is the largest girl-run business
in the world and teaches girls essential skills to
succeed personally and professionally, including
goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. These
five skills are important ingredients in the Girl
Scout Leadership Experience.

virtual stroll in
the park and see
what is happening there.
There will
be three performances at The
Old Theater
located at 609 Broad Street, Oriental. Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 March

Commentary
That’s Entertainment
I heard a comment the morning after the Oscars aired that
while amusing is scary at the
Maureen Donald
same time.
The Editor’s Desk
The gist of it was that the
Oscars addressed more political and social issues than the current GOP primary race. A sad state
of affairs - but true. Let’s face it - the GOP primary dog and pony
show could very well be headlining in the country’s comedy clubs.
Until recently the comic relief was provided by Donald Trump
which I truly believe reflects his personality. Like him or not, it’s
difficult to refute that his style is genuine. But then he started to
look like he might win the nomination despite what some regard as
this rather unorthodox approach to politics. What to do, what to do?
The answer seems to be join in. The result is we don’t have one
stand-up comedian in the race, we have three. Marco Rubio in
particular seems to be relishing his new role as a master of the oneliner slinging insignificant insults with apparent glee - which in my
opinion doesn’t suit him at all. I actually think he’s lost credibility
with his new persona. Ted Cruz doesn’t seem quite as gleeful about
his Trump bashing, but then again his natural demeanor just doesn’t
quite make it as a stand-up act. Rubio, however, might have a future
Making Sense of Investing
For many people, the
Dan M. Roberts, IV
concept of retirement can
Financial Advisor
be scary, both emotionally
and financially. If you, too,
feel somewhat anxious about what awaits you,
you might feel more comfortable in knowing that,
depending on where you work, you might be able
to retire in stages.
As its name suggests, retiring in stages typically involves
reducing one’s work hours from full-time to part-time, and then,
eventually, to complete retirement. If you enjoy the social relationships of work, and you define part of your identity with what you
do at your job, this type of gradual transition may be easier for
you to accommodate than the abrupt transition from “worker” to
“retiree.”
As for the financial aspects of such a move, you will want to
plan ahead. A “phased-in” retirement can affect your investment
and income strategies in several areas, such as these:
• Social Security – You can start collecting Social Security as
early as age 62, but your monthly payments will only be about
Get Your Taxes Done Safely
The tax deadline is looming and
you may find yourself needing help
to file your taxes. Using a tax preAttorney
parer should make filing your taxes
General
easier, but only if you choose one
Roy Cooper
that is reliable and accurate. There are plenty of legitimate tax
preparers in North Carolinians, but unfortunately my office hears
from consumers each year about tax preparers who charge unreasonably high fees, file tax documents without approval, or fail to
complete the job. Complaints against tax preparers are on the rise so far this tax
season. One consumer reported that a tax preparer demanded more
than the quoted price once her refund check arrived at their office,
and even followed her to the bank, waited for her to cash the refund
check, and pressured her into paying additional money on the spot. The IRS has also reported an uptick in tax-related email scams.
These fraudulent emails appear to come from government agencies
and tax preparers and try to trick you into replying with your personal and financial information, which can lead to identity theft. Don’t share your personal financial information with anyone you
don’t know who contacts you, no matter who they claim to be. And
Disappointed with Town
on the stage - he’s definitely getting practice. The bottom line is we
now have the battle of Don Rickles pretenders as opposed to any
semblance of a political campaign addressing the issues facing this
country.
I’ve always been disillusioned (for lack of a more accurate word)
with the political process. The amount of undisclosed campaign
funding, super pacs and let’s just say, organized politics gone awry
is shameful. I truly believe campaign reform should be a priority but then again, those enjoying the spoils of it are the ones making
the laws - that’s a problem and no joke (pun intended).
But this time around my disillusionment has sunk to a new level
- both with the Republicans and the Democrats. I never realized
or perhaps more accurately, didn’t pay attention to the need of the
party hierarchy to control the electorate and no, I’m not talking
about the general election - rather the primary process.
I get the impression that if the voters choose a candidate not suiting the party establishment - on both sides - there could be all sorts
of convention drama. Is that the way it’s suppose to work?
I realize that the GOP establishment is nearly out its mind over
the “Trump phenomena” and is scrambled to assure an alternative.
But that might prove difficult since the other two contenders are
getting more like Trump with each passing day. On the Democratic
side, things aren’t nearly as frantic since Hillary seems to be on the
way to the nomination - as was expected from the beginning. The
few hiccups along the way from Bernie seem to be under control
causing what I imagine is a collective sigh of relief in the blue
camp. This brings up a different issue but no less absurd - the voters.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the comment “I really
like that candidate, but I won’t vote for him because I know he can’t
win.” What? Is that what we’ve come to? Is it a contest over picking the presumptive winner as opposed to voting for the candidate
you really want to win?
There aren’t enough words to describe my disappointment with
this attitude. As an electorate is it our responsibility to vote for who
we think is the best candidate or are we more concerned with saying
we picked the winner? The contradiction of this attitude is reprehensible, not to mention buying right into the system of not letting the
voters pick the candidates, but allowing the establishment to do it
for us (ok, Trump may defy this).
Apparently Hillary has been annointed by the Democratic establishment and Republicans - well, they’re working on it. Whatever
there’s little doubt in my mind that the next chapter in this election
will be no less entertaining than the preceding one. Can’t wait.
75% of what you’d get if you wait until you reach 66 (assuming
that 66 is your “full” retirement age). And the payments get larger
from there, until they “max out” at 70. So, if you had planned to
retire at 62 but instead retired in stages, you could possibly afford
to delay taking Social Security until your checks were bigger.
You could work and receive Social Security, but if your earnings
exceed a certain amount, some of your benefits may be withheld, at least until you reach full retirement age – after which you
can earn as much as you want with no withholding of benefits.
However, your Social Security could still be taxed based on your
income.
• Required minimum distributions – During your working
years, you may well have contributed to tax-deferred retirement accounts, such as a traditional IRA and a 401(k) or similar
employer-sponsored plan. But once you turn 70½, you must start
taking withdrawals (“required minimum distributions,” or RMDs)
from these accounts. You can’t delay taking these payments,
which are taxable. But if you did retire in stages and continued to
work part-time, past when you expected to completely retire, you
may be able to stick with the required minimum withdrawals at
least for a while, rather than taking out larger amounts immediately. In this way, you could potentially keep more of your retirement funds growing in your tax-deferred accounts.
• Investment mix – If you planned to retire at a certain date,
you might have created a specific mix of investments designed
to provide you with sufficient income to last your lifetime. But
if you continue to work, you may not have to rely so heavily on
your portfolio – that is, your IRA, 401(k) and all investments
held outside these retirement accounts – to help you meet your
income needs. Consequently, during these extra years of work,
you may be able to withdraw less from your portfolio, thus
potentially having more assets to provide for your income needs
down the road.
As you can see, a “phased-in” retirement could help provide
you with options in making a variety of financial decisions. So,
plan carefully before you exit the workforce – a gradual departure may be a good way to say “goodbye.”
be careful when selecting a tax preparer, since he or she will have
access to your information. To find trustworthy help preparing your taxes: Look for credentials. Certified public accountants, tax attorneys
and enrolled agents with up to date credentials are good sources for
reliable help at tax time. Some consumers are also eligible for free
tax preparation from the IRS through their Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly programs. Do your research. Check out a tax preparer’s background to see if
they’ve had any complaints filed against them by calling my office
at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within North Carolina or through
the Better Business Bureau.
Stick to tax preparers who work year round. If possible, avoid tax
preparers or businesses that only operate seasonally.
Beware of promises of a bigger refund. Avoid tax preparation
services that promise larger refunds than the competition. Instead,
stick to tax preparers whose fees aren’t based on a percentage of
your refund.
Read your contract. Before you enter into a written agreement
with a tax preparation service, be sure to find out the total cost and
read the contract or other paperwork carefully before you sign it.
Look out for red flags. Beware if a tax preparer asks you to sign
a blank tax form, or if they refuse to sign the form they prepared.
Avoid any preparer who won’t provide you with copies of your prepared tax forms or won’t allow you to review them for accuracy.
Review your tax return for errors. Some tax preparers try to
inflate refunds using deductions and credits that their clients aren’t
eligible to receive. This could leave you on the hook for paying
back the improper part of the refund plus fines and interest. Before
your preparer files your return, check any deductions and tax credits
the tax preparer claims for you thoroughly. If anything seems off,
ask the preparer about it and check with the IRS yourself if you still
have questions.
E-file carefully. Filing your taxes electronically can be convenient, but it is not without risks. If you’re filing your taxes online,
make sure the website is secure by looking for an “https” in the web
address and a lock icon near the search bar. Guard against tax ID theft and IRS scams. Identity thieves can
use your Social Security Number to take out loans, open credit
cards or even collect your tax refund. Avoid anyone who calls or
emails you and offers to help with your taxes or claims to be with
the IRS. Remember that real IRS representatives won’t call, email
or text to demand unpaid taxes or fines.
If you have questions, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
Letters to the Editor
I am disappointed in the Town of Oriental not helping publicize
our current play, “It Happened in the Park”. So anything you can
do to help us publicize it will be appreciated. They failed to post
our posters for our last play, “Hitchcock” even though they were
given the posters a month in advance. The posters stayed on a desk
in the office. Now with the current play advertising posters, it has
taken three visits to the office, and three text messages to the Town
Manager, and still one poster is not posted. Each time I went to
the office to ask could they post them, one poster would go up, but
other groups’ posters went up in a very timely fashion, for example
the Dragon Boat Races’ posters. So I posted the last poster myself. But when I drove by an hour later, the poster I posted was taken
down. Lame excuses were given, “The posters needed to be rearranged…”, but our poster had no pin holes in it. “We didn’t have
time…:, but Dragon Boat Posters were in there. Why is the Town
loath to support the Theater? If I had to guess, my guess would be
that no employee of the Town went to see “Hitchcock”. Do any of
the Town employees have tickets to “It Happened in the Park”? My
guess is they do not. But I would love for them to prove me wrong! So you can help!!! Please do purchase your tickets to “It Happened
in the Park”. It is a cute musical variety show about Oriental. You
will love it. And you will be supporting The Old Theater while being
entertained. They are on sale at Nautical Wheelers, or online at via
the Old Theater website http://www.oldtheater.org/. Sorry for being sore about this, but we are all volunteers and when
paid employees do not help volunteers it feels bad. Carol Small
Response to Ken Heath’s Acknowledgement of his
Poor Financial Skills
I was surprised to read Ken Heath’s letter to the editor last week in
which he clearly acknowledges his poor financial and business skills
led to more than $600,000 in tax debt AND that his house went into
foreclosure “a couple of times.” I wish I could earn enough money
to incur that much tax liability! I do wish to point out that he claims
these tax debts were due to a downturn in the economy. However, he
earned the money on which he was taxed, so he should have paid his
taxes…period! I pay mine, you pay yours, he should have paid his;
it is the law. I hope the citizens of District 5 (Minnesott / Arapahoe)
turn out in full force for the primary on March 15th and vote for
Angie Propst. I certainly do not want Ken Heath having anything to
do with spending my tax dollars and enforcing the laws of Pamlico
County. I am glad other citizens took the bold step of educating us
about Mr. Heath’s poor financial skills and inability to follow the tax
laws.
Floyd W. Evans, Jr., Oriental
Not Mudslinging
With regard to Mr. Heath’s letter in your 2-24-16 edition, I find it
difficult to equate ads that present verifiable facts which are public
record as “mudslinging.”
I actually regarded both ads as educational. I voted for Mr. Heath
each time he ran for office. Had I been aware of these facts it may or
may not have made a difference.
Mr. Heath obviously made some bad decisions (as we all have) in
the past. But whining about “mudslinging” certainly does not endear
him to this voter.
Interestingly enough, I did have one County Commissioner tell me
that it is not a crime to not pay one’s taxes. It only becomes a crime if
one attempts to hide assets or lies about them.
I don’t necessarily feel that elected officials should be held to
a higher standard (as law enforcement officials are held) but they
should be held to the same standard as their constituents. I (begrudgingly, at times) pay my taxes and expect no less from my elected officials. Avoiding this “duty” speaks volumes about fiscal responsibility.

Critical of Planning Board
The Town of Oriental’s Planning Board seems to have decided to usurp the Water Advisory Committee and The Board of
Commissioners powers for itself. According to NC General Statute
160A-360 (a) the Planning Board only has powers within the corporate limits of the town. Trying to make a Growth Management
Ordinance (GMO) prohibiting the town from providing water outside
the town limits without annexation seems beyond its scope. In addition and far more important to the water customers of the town are
the financial implications for the Water Fund. The Water Fund is
operated separately from the town General Fund. It is what is called
an “Enterprise Fund” by the state. It is required by law to operate
with a positive cash flow. It needs to sell water to pay its expenses
and to fund a reserve fund capable of handling any major system
failures and regular repairs. The Oriental water system was originally
established in the 1970s and rebuilt in 2002-03 with a major grant. That grant was justified on a number of factors but included selling
water outside of the town limits and adding a capability of providing water for growth particularly in the area between Whittaker and
Pierce Creeks. A substantial part of that land is not in the town limits. The town water plant has been upgraded in the last several years
by a combination of self-help and small contracts to the tune of about
$150,000. We brought in several engineering companies and the estimated cost for those projects ran from about $500,000 to $1,000,000. We dodged a bullet with careful management and planning. It will
probably not last as long as a complete rebuild but was done within
our resources. It will continue to cost us money to maintain. A
major failure of the plant, pipelines or one of our wells could shatter our efforts. As of the last audit (2014) that I have seen we had
a reserve in the fund of $157,873. That level of reserve would not
come close to building a replacement well or replacing major infrastructure. As a former commissioner liaison and a founder of the current Water Advisory Committee I advised that we needed to build a
reserve of around $500,000. We must make every effort to sell water
and add customers to meet that level of reserve. While the idea has
merit for the town tax base, it is a bad idea if we wish to maintain
our own town water system. It might be more appropriate for the
Planning Board to look at the question of why no one wants to be
annexed into the town. It might perhaps be overregulation. Under the
current GMO restrictions, for example, the Town and Country building, most of the churches and our larger businesses would exceed the
6000 square foot limit for any structure and could not even be built.

ing, the sun is shining, and we may
get into the seventies, so who could
ask for anything more? Made it to church on Sunday to
try out the newly tuned piano and there was 21 folks there for the
morning service. Brad Hodges and Dylan Beddard brought Mrs.
Karen Morton to church. She is in a wheelchair and the members
of the church rotate to pick her up at her home so she can attend
church. Many good Samaritans in our community. Weeks and I went to Mayo's for a delicious seafood lunch and
followed the ambulance down Whortonsville Road on our way
home. Later learned that Mrs. Karen had fallen. No report on her
condition. There was a full house when we arrived at Mayo's, but
fortunate for us, Stan and Christa Brown were there and invited
us to sit at their table. Christa was here attending the Women's
Retreat. Noticed last week the weather was good enough for the fellas to
fly their model planes in the middle of the field where our neighbor lands his plane when he comes. Last week I received a call
that Tom Love had passed away. Tom and Beverly had moved
from Fork Point a few years back to be close to their children in
the Morehead area. We had many good times with the two of
them. Tom's greatest love was his dogs. Our thoughts and prayers

cardiac arrest at work and is in intensive care and we don't know
at this time what the prognosis will be. I called Donnie and Nancy
Pakkala to find out about Donnie's health problem. He had been in
the hospital but was home and slowly improving. While talking to them I asked about Charlie and Elsye
Frazier. Heard that since they left here to move to Florida that
they had moved three times there. We think they are continuing
to downsize. Glad Weeks and I downsized when we came here. Noticed the house across from Mrs. Winky that is for sale has an
accepted offer on the sign outside. Good news in the Ford family. They have been celebrating
birthdays, Mattie, Elizabeth, and Penny with parties all month. Jeannette Hudson, Rod Ensley and Brad Hodges also had birthdays
in February. Gayle Lupton is getting closer to her retirement from
the school. Tickets are going on sale for the Pamlico Chorale Concert in
April. When the Chorale began in 1989 we hoped we could give
free concerts for our community, but with over sixty members
that we have to order music for, we had to start charging a small
amount. Music continues to go up in price so this year the tickets
are $7.50 for one or $15.00 a couple. Ann Watson has put together
a beautiful concert with all areas of music. Ann came out of retirement to help with the Chorale and I shall be eternally grateful for
her expertise and dedication. Thought for the week---(from Holy Humor) The Dieter's Prayer-Lord grant me the strength that I may not fall into the clutches of
cholesterol, the road to hell is paved with butter, cake is cursed,
cream is awful and Satan is hiding in every waffle. Beelzebub is
a chocolate drop, Lucifer is a lollipop. Teach me the evils of hollandaise, of pasta and gobs of mayonnaise, and crisp fried chicken
from the south. If you love me Lord, shut my mouth! Deaths
Everyone has milestones
to celebrate in life.
Be prepared to make the most of each one.

Cumbo’s Funeral Home
Now Open in Bayboro
A new business in Bayboro is now open to help you “honor and
provide a meaningful, and peaceful environment to recognize the
value of a loved one’s life”, according to Funeral Director Roger
Cumbo.
Cumbo’s Funeral Home, located at 306 Main Street in Bayboro,
is locally owned and operated by Cumbo who has been a licensed
mortician since 2004. Roger says that Cumbo’s Funeral Home
strives to help celebrate your loved one’s memory by creating a
meaningful memorialization that exceeds all expectations for the
families, regardless of financial status. “I am here to serve the
public and by doing the work myself I am able to keep costs down
and still provide an important service with the same amount of
compassion,” says Roger.
Cumbo’s Funeral Home offers many types of services tailored
to meet the needs of the entire community including cremation
and traditional and military burials. “We are experienced at honoring many faiths and customs,” says Roger.
Roger’s mortuary experience began with his service in the
military where he served in the Army’s Military Mortuary Affairs
Division. Roger, who has been embalming for sixteen years, most
recently operated a funeral home in Morehead City. Roger, who
also works at the Hurricane Barber Shop in Grantsboro, noticed
a need in the community for funeral services which inspired to
open Cumbo’s Funeral Home in Pamlico County. “I love this area
and the people who live here. Our facility is large enough to meet
the public demand, but small enough to include to add a personal
touch in our services,” said Roger.
Roger resides in Havelock with his wife Marion and his two

Representatives from ten NC community colleges attending the $9.2 million First in the World (FITW) grant kick-off at Central Carolina Community College.
PCC Attends $9.2 Million Grant Kick-off Event
By Townley Cheek
In September of 2015, Pamlico Community College was named
a partner in a consortium of 10 community colleges in North
Carolina to extend a student retention program that focuses on
proactive student counseling and coaching. At the end of February
of 2016, Pamlico Community College met with the nine other
partner colleges as part of the kick-off event for the First in the
World grant titled, “Carolina Works.”
This past fall, Central Carolina Community College was
awarded $9.2 million as part of the First in the World (FITW)
validation grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Over the
next four years, over 26,000 students will take part in the project
from across the state. Pamlico Community College is expected to
receive $406,000 over the four-year period.
The First in the World program is designed to support the development, replication, and dissemination of innovative solutions and
evidence for what works in addressing persistent and widespread
challenges in postsecondary education for students who are at risk
for not persisting in and completing college.
The expected outcome of this grant is closely related to one of
PCC’s college wide goals and part of the PCC Student Success
Initiative. “This grant is giving us the opportunity to continue to
advance the completion agenda that we have already embraced
at PCC,” says Dr. Maria Fraser-Molina, Interim President. “This
grant will allow PCC to further support at-risk students and deploy
retention interventions. Funds are also allocated to support a
Success Coach who will work closely with students, faculty, and
academic advisors to connect with at-risk students.”
At the end of February, representatives from Caldwell
Community College and Technical Institute, Carteret Community
College, Cleveland Community College, College of the
Albemarle, Isothermal Community College, Randolph Community
College, Roanoke Chowan Community College, Southwestern
Community College, and Pamlico Community College met with
representatives from Central Carolina Community College for the
“Carolina Works” kick-off.
“The kick-off event gave our group the opportunity to meet
with the teams of the other nine community colleges in the First in
the World consortium,” says Dr. Fraser-Molina. “We heard from
renowned leaders in the field of student retention, completion, and
success coaching, and developed an action plan that is going to
guide us thru the transformational journey that we have already
started at PCC.”
Cristy Warner, PCC’s Counselor and recently named Success
Coach, is excited to see the difference this program will make at
PCC. “Every community college in this consortium is excited and
engaged in this program. This will help students in a way that has
just not been possible before,” Warner says.
Warner hopes this program will empower PCC Student Services
to be more student engaged, success driven, and helpful. “We are
already good at what we do, but there is always room for improvement,” she says. “At the end of the day, we all want to be better.”
At the end of the four-year journey, Pamlico Community
College is expected to have an increase in the number of students
who persist and complete credentials, leading to either a transfer
pathway or employment.

Vote for Angie Propst in the Primary
Tuesday, March 15, 2016
Here is what some of Angie’s supporters have to say….
I’m voting for Angie Propst for County
Commissioner – and I’ll tell you why. I’ve worked
with Angie on many projects over the last 17
years and have watched her get things done. So
many “committees” meet over and over to discuss
issues or problems and that is all that is ever
accomplished – meetings and talk. Whether
Angie was in charge or simply a participant,
she had an uncanny knack for cutting to the
chase, leading the others to make a decision
and formulating an action plan to accomplish
whatever goal was set. Our County needs a leader
of this caliber to move us forward.
Knowing Angie, I’m totally confident in her
energy, enthusiasm and ability to get things
done. I can’t imagine a better person to make
Pamlico County loved more by its citizens.
Angie loves Pamlico and I’m looking forward
to seeing her make great things happen.

For the second year in a row Oriental, the
Orient of Eastern NC where it is said that
dragons live, hosted the Second Annual
Oriental Indoor Dragon Boat Race. The
battle of the paddles was held on Saturday
in the pool at Village Health and fitness.
Participants and spectators alike enjoyed
authentic Chinese food, safe paddling and a
wet, but fun event.
Unlike the summer dragon boat races,
where teams of 22 compete on multiple
boats to cross the finish line first, the inside
race has smaller competing teams consisting of eight paddlers sharing the same boat. The two competing teams face each other at midship and
then see which team can out-row the other. Each Team competes in a minimum of three heats. There
are several categories of teams: men’s, women’s, mixed, youth, seniors, and cancer survivor. The
winners of each category in their respective classes then compete against each other.
This year Chesty Pullers faced Fit Forever in the final race. It was a great battle, but in the end
Chesty Pullers took home the first place trophy for the second year in a row. The team from Cherry
Point will defend their title in next year's battle.
The event was free for spectators to watch poolside. Chinese meals were served complete with tea
and fortune cookies with all proceeds going to the Journey of Hope, cancer support group at Village
Health and Fitness. Flora Moorman, Dragon Boat Festival and Race Organizer says it’s a chance to
brush up on dragon boat skills, have some laughs and lead your teams to victory on the water, even if
it’s cold outside!

On the Water
From the Helm
What would we do without our marine navigation charts? We would probably spend a lot
of time running aground, getting lost and taking
“round about” paths to our destinations. You
could always use your GPS; but what if you
have no battery power or satellite signals. Then
What?
There was a time when mariners had almost
no printed information from which to plot a
course. It was common for men of the sea to
learn from their fathers or other elder seamen.
They relied on known courses between “points
of land” and other visible landmarks.
It was not until the first century A.D. that
chart making began to evolve. Marinus of Tyre,
thought to be of Greek extraction, is believed to
be the first man to draw charts for mariners at
that time. The work of Marinus was the foundation on which much of chart making was built.
In 1795, Alexander Dalrymple was appointed
the first hydrographer of the Royal Navy. The
British Admiralty published its first marine
navigation chart in 1801.
Since the days of Marinus, chart making has
come a long way. In addition to the coastline
and soundings (depths), there are many other
features shown on today’s charts. Things have
been added like bottom contours, tide & current
information, land features, and compass variation, just to name a few.
In the early 1940’s, the advent of electronic
navigational aids was responsible for a new
layer of information on some charts. What is
commonly called a “LORAN overlay” is a colored grid that is superimposed on some charts.
LORAN in the United States is no longer operational due to the popularity and wide use of
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
GPS, or Global Positioning System, is the
GNSS product developed by the Department of
Defense. Its development began in 1973 and
was fully operational in 1995. It uses a constellation of satellites in space which GPS units use
to triangulate a precise location on the earth.
Most modern GPS units are accurate within 2
meters (6 ft).
GPS has a number of issues, so don’t be in a
rush to discard your paper charts. First, while
GPS can precisely fix your position on the earth
(latitude and longitude), many charts used by
chart plotter manufacturers are electronic facsimiles of paper charts. Paper charts were created long before we had GPS. Although amazingly accurate in relation to what they depict,
they sometimes have the lat/long slightly
wrong. While delivering boats we’ve seen our
craft running over dry land when our eyes and
paper charts confirm we’re in 20 feet of navigable water.
Second, GPS is getting old. Some of the
satellites are no longer operational and have
not been replaced on schedule. As a result,
many chart plotter manufacturers are incorporating the Russian GLOSNASS GNSS system
into their receivers. Europe has the GALILEO
GNSS coming online and Japan is in the process of launching their own satellite constellation.
Finally, remember these satellites are over
12,000 miles in space. Sun spot activity, radio
interference, human jamming and host of other
potential issues can cause outages at any time.
Most modern day charts of navigable waters
in the U.S are published by the National Ocean
Survey (NOS) of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the
U.S. government. They perpetually compile and
maintain a database of information from which
charts information is developed.
Until next time, we wish you clear skies, fair
winds and calm seas!

MOREHEAD CITY – The N.C. Division of
Marine Fisheries will hold seven public meetings
in March to receive suggestions and comments
on cultch planting.
Cultch planting involves strategically placing
shells and rock to enhance shellfish habitat in
potentially productive shellfish areas. Oysters,
clams and other aquatic life are attracted to the
cultch and begin to immediately colonize on the
material.
In an effort to improve the cultch planting
program, the division’s Shellfish Rehabilitation
staff holds annual meetings to provide interested
parties the opportunity to give input on planting
sites, methods, materials and quantities. Nearby meetings will be held on the following
dates and locations:
• Fisheries Commission lowers cobia bag limit,
proposes lower oyster harvest limit for Shellfish
License holders
daily harvest limit of oysters for those fishing
under a commercial Shellfish License. The proposal would lower the daily harvest limit statewide to two bushels per person, with a maximum of four bushels per vessel. The proposed
changes would not apply to oyster leases or to
those who hold Standard Commercial Fishing
Licenses.
The commission made the proposal as part
of a draft amendment to the Oyster Fishery
Management Plan and postponed preliminary
approval of the plan to allow public comment,
which be accepted at regional advisory committee meetings in April.
In other business, the commission voted to:
· Nominate Joseph Andrew High and Randy
McKinley for the obligatory seat on the South
Atlantic Fishery Management Council.
· Adopt the 2015 Coastal Habitat Protection
Plan and source document to send to the secretary of the Department of Environmental
Quality and to the N.C. General Assembly for
approval.
· Proceed with a declaratory ruling to allow
American Eel Farm to harvest, possess and sell
undersized eel in North Carolina for grow out
under the North Carolina Aquaculture Plan for
American Eel.
· Convene a sub-committee consisting of at
least four commissioners to discuss the issues
associated with defining commercial fishermen
and report its findings to the full commission in
August.
· Delegate authority to the commission’s
Commercial Fishing Resource Fund Committee
to develop and implement a memorandum
of understanding with the North Carolina
Commercial Fishing Resource Fund Funding
Committee that sets procedures for agreeing to
and authorizing disbursements from the fund.

MFC Addresses Cobia, Oyster Harvest Limits
MOREHEAD CITY – Recreational fishermen
should expect to see a reduced cobia bag limit
starting Saturday and a season closure this summer.
The Marine Fisheries Commission voted at
its meeting last week to lower the cobia daily
recreational bag limit to one fish per person.
The current recreational bag limit for cobia is
two fish per person.
The commission’s vote is intended to extend
the recreational cobia season by a few days this
summer and to keep the recreational harvest
below the federal annual catch limit this year,
in an effort to avoid a closure next summer.
Recreational fishermen exceeded the annual
catch limit of 630,000 pounds for cobia in
2015. The preliminary estimate of harvest
for 2015 is 1.54 million pounds. Under the
South Atlantic Fishery Management Council’s
accountability measures, when the annual catch
limit is exceeded in one year, the length of the
following year’s season must be reduced to
ensure that the recreational harvest does not
exceed that year’s annual catch limit.
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries staff has
informed the National Marine Fisheries Service
staff about the action the commission took. The
National Marine Fisheries Service is responsible for determining the length of the cobia
season and has agreed to consider the reduced
bag limit in calculating the length of the season
closure.
For more information on the new cobia size
limit, see Proclamation FF-09-2016 at http://

Pamlico County Middle School
Catch the BUZZ…………….
On February 12th, Pamlico County Middle School hosted its 11th annual
Spelling Bee. Eleven brave students stepped up to the challenge to put their
spelling skills to the test. For some, this event was the first time being
in front of an audience while facing the big challenge of learning the correct spelling of each word. Each student is to be commended for being a
participant and stepping up to the plate to make this event a meaningful
competition.
This event, coordinated by PCMS Media Coordinator, Kim Prescott,
provided an opportunity for parents, relatives, faculty and students to be
actively involved in watching the students participate. The words and rules
used were provided by Scripps National Spelling Bee. According to Spell
It! 2016, which provides word lists and spelling tips, the purpose is to help
Winner Jenna Jones - 7th grade
students improve their spelling, increase their vocabulary, learn concepts, and develop correct English
usage that will help them all their lives. The bee
also provides great practice with speaking skills and
getting up in front of an audience.
Our participants were sixth graders Noah Johnson,
Andres Franco, Nyree Atkins, Tara Ogle, Maria
Sanchez, Drew Guimbal, Jalyn Dunn, Rhylee Heath
and Antonio King. Seventh grade participants were
Jenna Jones and Tea Boomer.
Our first place winner, Jenna Jones, will compete in regional competition on March 5th in
Washington, North Carolina. Our second place winner was 7th grader Tea Boomer and the third place
1st place - Jenna Jones, 2nd place - Tea Boomer, 3rd place was 6th grader Noah Johnson.

Donations from the Pamlico County Education
Foundation and PotashCorp Aurora were greatly appreciated to make the bee possible. A big thanks
goes to our pronouncer, Mrs. Jennifer Baker, PCHS Media Coordinator and judges Fonrose Rice and
Betsy McCandless for making this event possible.

Outstanding Season for Girls’ Basketball!
Pamlico County Middle School girls’
basketball coach, Kris Ward, knew she had
the potential for a good season when she
had not one, but two, six foot tall girls tryout for the team. She had no idea just how
good her season would turn out. The team
consisted of seventh graders, Kimesha
Sawyer, Di-Annah Jones, Mirachell Maher,
Ashley Flowers, Lindsey Potter, Tea
Boomer, Anari Barron, Myesha Jones and
eighth graders, Annie Anderson, Jakiya
Jones, Holley Brooks, Jasmin Cervantes,
Aniya Simmons, Janie Moore and Mariah
Davis.
Strong play at the point guard position
and exceptional defense by the guards,
coupled with owning the paint combined
for a perfect 14-0 undefeated season. “This
group of talented girls are truly special”,
Ward had to say about her team. “I have
been so blessed to be able to know each and every one of them and to teach them the game that I love
so much!”
Assistant Coach, Rebecca Blackmon had this to say about her experience with the team, “It was great
to see this group of young ladies pull together to win the conference with an undefeated season. Seeing
their skills develop with each game, it was a pleasure for me to be a part of this leg of their journey."
Not only did these talented athletes win conference, they were also named the Conference
Tournament Champions. Out of seven teams, only the top four move on to compete in tournament play.
Number one seeded Pamlico played Havelock Middle in the first round. After winning that game they
faced off against rival Jones Middle for the championship. After a decent lead at the half, Pamlico had
a difficult time against the Jones defense. After a couple of well-timed steals that they converted to
points and a hail Mary three, Jones was up by two points with thirty five seconds on the clock. Ward
called a time out and calmed her girls down. “I knew their point guard was their strongest player and
she had four fouls. I told Jakiya to drive the length of the court for a layup. I told the girls to leave no
doubt, no doubt whatsoever, who the champions were in the gym,” said Ward. Jakiya did that very
thing and tied the game. A steal then gave the ball back to Pamlico. With seven seconds left on
the clock, Holley Brooks
was fouled and sent to the
free throw line where she
sank the first one, giving
Pamlico a one point advantage. Annie Anderson
caught the rebound of the
second shot and threw
the ball out to Jasmin
Cervantes, who held the
ball until the clock ran
out. The gym erupted in
celebration for these hard
working athletes. It was an
exciting and fitting end to a
record season!
