Pamlico County’s Board of Elections gave the final approval at last Tuesday’s meeting to a resolution that would combine six of its precincts into just three, expecting to save taxpayers an estimated $30,000. The resolution would mean that residents of Alliance would cast their vote in Grantsboro, Mesic voters would report to Vandemere and Stonewall voters would go to Bayboro. The resolution now heads to the State Board of Elections. The board requested approval before the upcoming 2016 election. Director of the Board of Elections, Lisa Bennett said the discussion of such a resolution came up in July during the county budget workshops and the consolidation would take place in 2016 before the first election. Pamlico is not the only county in the state to consider this measure with Craven County also submitting a list of five precinct consolidations to the Sate Elections Board earlier this year. These requests come in light of new voting equipment that has been mandated by the state to be in place by 2018, with a possible extension to 2020. New state voting laws passed during the 2013-14 session require counties to phase out their touch-screen machines by the 2018 election. The 2018 date was picked to allow the counties to get what was thought to be the useful life out of the machines they have. Affected counties will have to buy new machines which can be an expensive proposition they need time to prepare for. Bennett says that Pamlico County could save up to $10,000 per precinct depending on the costs of new voting machines and the trade-in value of the current ones. According to Jennifer Roe, chairman of the Board of Elections a number of factors are taken into consideration when deciding wether or not to consolidate voting poles including voter turnout, early voting and actual Election Day totals, along with distance between voting sites. Bennett also wants to remind residents with concerns about having to travel to a different voting pole next year that prior to 2007, Vandemere and Mesic were one precinct, as was Alliance and Grantsboro. The plan to combine precincts would not change “voter identity,” according to election board Chairman Jennifer Roe. It would change their place of voting on Election Day. Roe said any consolidations would not affect municipal elections because towns pay for those elections and have control over the polling places. The Pamlico County Board of Elections consists of a three-member board that is appointed every two years. NCGS 163-30 cites “ Not more than two members of the county board of elections shall belong to the same political party.”All North Carolina county boards of elections offices are county funded and state governed. The Elections office is responsible for conduct of all elections and voter registrations in Pamlico County. Current Board Members are Jennifer Roe, Chairman; Russ Richard, Secretary; Delcine Gibbs, Member and Lisa Bennett, Director of Elections.

Hurricanes Lose Close One The Pamlico Hurricanes lost Friday’s away, nonconference game against The Central Virginia Home School by a score of 28-20. Central Virginia was first on the scoreboard with a rushing touchdown with seven minutes to go in the first quarter followed by a two point conversion. The Patriots scored again after a Pamlico turnover late in the second quarter leaving Virginia leading by a score of 14-0. The Canes came back with a touchdown but missed the two point conversion for a score of 14-6 at halftime. With no scoring action in the third quarter, Pamlico was back on the board with a completed pass touchdown early in the fourth and just lagging behind by two points. Once again, the Patriots heightened their lead with another rushing touchdown. The Hurricanes came right back and scored this time with a successful two point conversion for a tied score of 20-20. It wasn’t enough to win the game as Central Virginia ran in another touchdown and a successful two point conversion with under a minute left in the game for a final score of 28-20. Officers with the Pamlico County Sheriff’s office received a report of an unconscious and unresponsive individual at the intersection of Neal’s Creek Road and NC 55 in the town of Alliance on Wednesday afternoon. When deputies arrived at the scene they found an unresponsive male and it was determined that the individual was overdosing on Heroin. He was transported to Carolina East by ambulance. His condition is unknown at this time. The investigation led investigators to the residence of Demario Tyair Himbry Demario Tyair Himbry located at 208 Neal’s Creek Road. According to authorities, Himbry was inside the residence and a strong odor of burning marijuana was emanating from the home. Investigators along with North Carolina Probation and Parole secured the residence and applied for a search warrant. During the execution of the warrant a quantity of heroin was found on Himbry and other items were located within the residence that was consistent with the sale of narcotics. Investigators seized scales, baggies, and other packaging materials. A small amount of marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia was also located. Demario Himbry was arrested and charged with one count of Possession With Intent To Sell and Deliver Heroin, Felony Maintaining a Dwelling To Sell Controlled Substances, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of Marijuana, Turnage Construction & Trucking Co. Inc. 2373 NC Hwy 304, Bayboro, NC 28515 Welcome to Mindset - a weekly column featuring the opinions of your neighbors. It’s a sad fact of life that most of us are at least a little bit hooked on our phones.But how bad is our addiction? It is bad enough that there is a term to describe the fear of being without a phone-nomophobia. In light of socalled addiction to our phones, we asked folks around town “what is the most obnoxious thing people do on a cell phone?” Here is what they had to say… Larry and Lynn DeChesser of Oriental feel that in general if you are in a restaurant or public place where they should not be used then be courteous and put them away. “Selfies are ridiculous. If you are so vain that you need to be constantly taking pictures of yourself then that is obnoxious,” added Larry. Mary Mills drives from Wake County to Oriental to visit her parents, Tom and Anne Smith. She feels that drivers, even with hands-free devices, are distracted. “I see people texting while driving on the interstate, it’s very dangerous. There should also be cell phone-free dining areas in restaurants,” she added. Bernard George of New Bern says the most obnoxious thing he sees people doing while on their cell phones is crossing the street. “It’s not only obnoxious, its dangerous,” said Bernard.

Because of the proximity of the location the crimes occurred, Himbry was also charged with felony offense for selling heroin within 1,000 feet of a school. Himbry was placed into the Pamlico County Detention Center under a 35,000.00 secured bond. Himbry’s first court appearance was on Friday. Attorney Kirby Smith was appointed by the court to represent Himbry and because Himbry is disabled and confined to a wheel chair the judge signed a safe keeping order allowing him to be transferred to a central prison with a hospital facility able to accommodate him. This is not Himbry’s first encounter with the law and has a criminal history that dates back to 2004. According to the Department of Public Safety he had multiple drug related convictions dating back to 2004. In 2011 he was charged with common law robbery and in 2014 he was convicted of burning down an unoccupied mobile home. According to the sheriff’s office Himbry is a known gang member associated with local United Blood Nation sets. Most recently Himbry was involved in a Bayboro shooting in which Himbry and two other men, Terrelle Greene and Stephen Ray Squires Jr., were shot by Davone Martez Bryant on Water Street in Bayboro. Squires died in the incident. The accused shooter, Bryant is awaiting trial in the case. Wesley Carrier of New Bern feels that people that talk on their phones while eating dinner, whether out in public or at home are obnoxious. Paige LeBlanc visiting New Bern from Lancaster, PA thinks its obnoxious when you are trying to have a conversation with someone and they are not paying attention to you because they are too busy with their cell phone. Emerald Devitz from Lancaster, PA thinks it’s obnoxious when people randomly stop and take selfies in public. “Its the most annoying thing ever,” says Emerald.

Weekly Horoscope Aries (March 21-April 19) Mercury retrograde is about to take place in the sign of Libra, which is 180 degrees opposite Aries. Because this entire event is opposite you, it will affect your partnerships and close friendships. Since every Mercury retrograde summons the past back into the present - you will hear from old friends and expartners. These ex partners could be professional partners or ex-spouses and old partners. You will definitely run into these people or hear from them in some way. Make an effort to look good when you go out, because you never know when you will bump into someone significant - and living well is the best revenge! (“Look what you’re missing.”) Taurus (April 20-May 20) This is a playful, romantic, creative time! Lucky Tauruses are on a vacation, living the good life. “More whiskey and fresh horses for my men!” However, many are also busy redecorating or renovating where they live or exploring real-estate deals. If you are beginning something new that you want to really take off - begin this in the next week because after Sept. 8, (and definitely Sept. 17) you will be better off finishing what is already on your plate. (During Mercury retrograde, it’s easy to finish old business; but difficult to begin something new.) Delays, breakdowns and communication snafus will frustrate you at work for most of this month and October. Oy vey. Gemini (May 21-June 20) This week, you might have some confusion at home, especially with a parent or a family member. Fortunately, your communication skills are sweet and strong now, which means you can talk yourself out of anything. But in a week, your ruler Mercury starts to slow down to go retrograde on the 17th. This will definitely attract old flames back into your life. Woo woo! This could be interesting or horrifying, depending on your past. The rest of the month is the perfect time to finish creative projects and wrap up business related to vacations, the arts, your kids, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry. How sweet it is! Cancer (June 21-July 22) When Mercury slows down next week, it will create delays and confusion to anything in your life related to home, family and your personal world. This will particularly affect those of you involved in family businesses. It will make it difficult to go forward with new business; but fortunately, it will make it easy to finish up old business - anything that already exists on your plate. Family reunions and people, (especially relatives) from your past might visit you. (Or you might visit them.) To be ready for anything, clean up your digs and stock the fridge because company’s coming. Use this time to finish old projects that you have already begun. Ah yes, there’s no time like the pleasant. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Each Mercury retrograde is different because it takes place in a different sign, which means it occurs in a different part of your chart. The Mercury retrograde that starts in a week will be a pain in the proverbial butt because it occurs in the part of your chart that focuses on Mercury activity: communications with others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbours; and transportation - short trips etc. This means you will hear from family members you haven’t heard from for a while, especially siblings. Please give yourself extra time for delays due to missed buses, trains or breakdowns with your car or truck. There will be frustrations but fortunately, Venus, Mars and Jupiter bless you and balance things in your life beautifully Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Things are going well with you with both the Sun and Jupiter in your sign. It doesn’t get much better than this. (Well, there is always better, isn’t there?) This particular Mercury retrograde, which starts a week from now, and intensifies on the 17th, will affect your cash flow, earnings, assets and possessions. Almost certainly, cheques in the mail will be late. In fact, all kinds of financial transactions will be delayed. However, the good news is that money deals that you want to complete will easily be wrapped up. You might find something that you misplaced or lost. Or someone might return something to you. You have divine protection this year with Jupiter in your sign. Yes! Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will feel this particular Mercury retrograde because it’s happening in your sign. This means you’ll be plagued with silly errors. You might miss an appointment time or have the wrong place. You might misplace papers, books and magazines. You might forget things and be late for appointments. Frustrating delays will frazzle you. Friends and people from your past, including ex-partners, will be back on the scene. On the upside, you can swiftly finish something you’ve been wanting to do. Oh yes. You will attack these stalled projects like a hot knife slicing through butter. Well, you win some, you lose some. Brain cells come and brain cells go but fat cells live forever. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) It will be an interesting, productive Mercury retrograde for Scorpio. You love secrets. (All Scorpios have the mind of a sleuth.) And because this Mercury retrograde takes place in a hidden part of your chart, many hidden things will bubble up to the surface. For starters, your ability to research anything, or discover secrets and solutions to old problems will be excellent during Sept. and Oct. This is good news! The bad news is that your own secrets that you have buried so carefully and deeply might also be exposed to the world. “I didn’t do it! I’ve been framed!” (Always tell the truth unless you’re an exceptionally good liar.) Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) It’s an exciting time because you’re about to set off on a new journey - and there’s nothing better than new journeys! This journey however, is special. It’s a once-in-a-30year cycle. Among other things, it’s a journey where you will reinvent yourself from 2015 to 2023. And hey, you had to give up so much in the last couple of years. (Groan.) Meanwhile, back at the homepage, friends you forgot you even had will be popping up in your life again. (Remember the friendship rule: If you lend someone $50 and never see them again - it was probably worth it.) Actually, it’s good to have history with others. Plus, Sagittarians know how to water their trap line so they can have places to crash all over the world. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Do pay attention to the ramifications of this particular Mercury retrograde and how it will affect the sign of Capricorn. For starters, you have to remember that respect and status are important to you. Your reputation counts. Therefore, to have mixed-up communications and missed appointments and lost paperwork with authority figures makes you grind your teeth at night. Horrors! You want to impress others - not look like a flake. Nevertheless, this will happen. Stay on your toes to do damage control. You will also meet old bosses and authority figures from your past, including parents (unless you had an orphandectomy, see All Signs.) Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) This Mercury retrograde will be useful for you but it will have pitfalls. The good news is it will help you to finish a book, an important paper you’re writing or help you study, especially history or anything from the past. You’ll be surprised at how easy it will be to do this. The bad news is Mercury retrograde will create delays, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and confusion in travel reservations and dealing with foreign countries. Some of these errors will also apply to legal matters and anything to do with medicine. The upside is that legal matters can be finished quickly; however, you will have to be alert for errors and silly mistakes. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) This is a tricky Mercury retrograde coming up for you; and you will start to feel its effects within a week. On the plus side, it will impact a lot of redtape details in your life, especially dealing with inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance issues, in other words, anything where your wealth, money or assets are tied up with someone else. This means that you will be able to quickly bring these matters to a fast conclusion a resolution. This is good. However, on the downside, these same areas will be subject to mistakes, errors and little details that might be overlooked. This is not so good! I think the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages, which means you can wrap up a lot of loose details in the next six weeks.

A Book Talk at Arapahoe United Methodist by Author Faye Green Faye Green came to Arapahoe from Laurel, Maryland and was very active in our church. After some years she moved back north and now resides in Delaware. She is a published author of several books and will speak about her latest book, Gertie, at Arapahoe United Methodist Church Sept. 15th at 7:00pm. Green began writing the book while she lived here, on Dawson Creek. It was published in 2014. Gertie is about a divorced woman raising a child was not accepted in small town America in the early 1900’s. Gertie is the story of a young woman who is compelled by violent circumstances to divorce in 1914, becoming the only divorcee is the small town at a time when divorce, for any reason, was not accepted by society. Gertie was ostracized and the pitfalls were many as she struggled alone and concentrated on the well being of her son, William. But all changed when she was honored by Eleanor Roosevelt for her service to veterans. Through four decades of historical impact on Laurel, personal drama and tragedy, Gertie filled her life by serving veterans at nearby Ft. George G. Meade, through WWI and WWII. She developed USO clubs and sat at the bedsides of wounded heroes. WWII changed women’s place in the world when they became part of the work force and raised children alone. Such is the poignant and timeless story of Gertie set in Laurel, Maryland Bear Creek near Sparrows Point, Maryland – as well as along the familiar road to Ft. Meade and the beach at Ocean City 1909 – 1946. The regatta will be held on the Neuse River, Greens and Smith Creeks at Oriental, for all Sailboats under 20 feet. Launching will be at the Wildlife ramp at the foot of the bridge over Smith Creek. Sailing instructions are available at registration and on the ODC Website OrientalDinghyClub.com .

Our public Autumn Luncheon Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the months of Sept, Oct, and Nov and Dec. Local author and photographer Jack Dudley joins Carteret Writers on September 8 to discuss the collaborative process he uses to research and compile the historical photographs and information for his popular books about the North Carolina coast. The meeting starts with lunch at 11:15 followed by the free presentation at noon at Golden Corral in Morehead City. Anyone interested in writing is welcome and no reservations are necessary. Over the years, the waterfront in our coastal towns has changed, sometimes due to man, other times due to storms. You can experience those changes vicariously by reading Dudley’s books. The attention to detail in the reproduction and description of numerous vintage photographs set his books apart from those typically aimed at tourists who flip through images or at academics who willingly sift through dry prose. The readers he has in mind are people who share his love of the areas he writes about. He lets the carefully selected images tell the bulk of the story while captions provide context. Perhaps his prior career as a dentist gave him an eye for detail. Some photos take up a whole page or two to show the details in a street panorama. You would expect to see the smaller pictures of people with boats and fish, but how about a fellow with a moonshine jug in his hand or a 1938 fourth grade class with a dog for a pupil? Both the dog and his young master were promoted to fifth grade, but after trying it for a few days, the dog returned to fourth grade for three more years. Considering the current debate over wind power, was Carteret County behind or ahead of the times at the turn of the twentieth century when it had more windmills than any county in the state? To the casual tourist, waterfront towns may look alike, but Dudley’s books capture how residents and heritage make each location unique. Looking through his books, you can’t help but wonder where he found all the information. For just the two books on Swansboro, the town where he was born and raised, sources included local residents, historian Tucker Littleton, the Swansboro Historical Association, the Jack Dudley Carteret County Museum of History, state archives, and Harvard University Divinity School. In Beaufort: An Album of Memories, published in 2004, the photo credits alone fill four pages. After retiring from dentistry, Dudley devoted more time to his avocations, photography and historical research. Besides Swansboro: A Pictorial Tribute (1998), Swansboro: The Friendly City by the Sea (2013), and his book on Beaufort, his other works include Carteret Waterfowl Heritage and Mattamuskeet & Ocracoke Waterfowl Heritage (1995), Outhouses Along the White Oak (1999), Wings: N.C. Waterfowling Traditions (2001), Morehead City: A Walk Through Time (2003), Ocracoke Album (2005), Down East: Portraits of the Past (2007), Bogue Banks: A Look Back (2009), Newport: The Town with Old Fashioned Courtesy (2010), and Landmarks of the Northern Outer Banks (2011). Today, Dudley lives and writes in Morehead City. His work-in-progress is Southern Outer Banks: Cape Lookout Seashore, scheduled for release later this fall. Come join Carteret writers on Sept. 8 and learn how he produces his amazing books. Founded in 1983, Carteret Writers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating camaraderie among writers and promoting the art of writing. Besides monthly meetings held on the second Tuesday of the month, smaller genre critique groups are available to members. For more information, see carteretwriters.org or call 252-728-7563.

You may bring your lunch or eat in one of the nearby restaurants. Workshop Schedule: 10:00 - Session 1: Starting Points In this session writers take a look at the two worlds writers must work in to succeed. It will include tips for writers as they work alone and benefits of working together with other writers. No one will fall asleep in this session which is all about work. Writers put pen to paper in fastpaced exercises that help breakdown writer’s block. 11:00 - Session 2: Sharpening your Tools This session demonstrates the difference between showing readers and letting them touch, taste, feel, hear, and smell the world that your words create. Part two of this session on revealing character and plot will help writers sharpen dialogue writing skills. These two sessions push writers to test their skills and learn from doing. 12:00 - 12:45 Lunch 1:00 - Session 3: Submitting your Words Writers guess the authors and titles of famous works, then go in depth to analyze the strength of these classic works. To further propel writers to go public with their work, writers are given simple keys to getting in the top percent of the slush pile. 2:00 - Session 4: Modeling Synergy The best session of the day comes last, when writers form groups to give feedback on submissions. In this non-intimidating session, writers learn from each other and experience first-hand the benefits of a writing critique group. Writers are given help in forming and keeping writing goals.

Paul Sr. owned a general merchandise and appliance store where the Old Trawl Door Restaurant was and the building stands today. Paul’s competitor was the Smith boys, where the Steamer is today. The Smith story will come in a later column. Paul Sr. would load a refrigerator on the company pick-up truck and ride around town, passing the Smith store each time. Now this was the same refrigerator each time. The Smiths thought how was Paul Sr. able to sell so many refrigerators a day. That in itself was funny and ingenious. Vivian, Paul’s wife, was an educator. She worked 40 years as a teacher and school principal. Ned was Paul’s brother. Ned joined the Army at 17 years of age during WWII and became a paratrooper because it paid more. During Ned’s stint in the army, he earned two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts and one of the highest awards given by our nation, the Distinguished Service Cross. After returning from the war, Ned was educated in the musical arts. Although well educated, Ned became a practical jokester. Once he was swinging on a rope, pretending to be Tarzan, fell and broke his leg and back. As they did back then, placed him in a body case with only a hole for number 1 and number 2. Not much fun and plenty of leisure time. Ned taught himself how to do magic and throw his voice and apparently became good at both. Once at a funeral, which is confirmed by Brantley Norman, (one of the pallbearers) Ned threw his voice into the coffin of Joe Midyette, deceased of course, “Let me outa here.” The gravedigger got scared, ran away never to dig a grave since. Paul II, still alive, made his living as an assistant school superintendent. Now retired, he heads The Perry Griffin Foundation and The Walker Foundation. Together these two foundations have given out over $2,000,000 in scholarships for Pamlico County High School kids the last 6-8 years. Thanks Paul for your leadership in this county. Paul II has two children. Jennifer Delamar-Goss, a UNC-Chapel Hill graduate and former school teacher who lives in Philadelphia, is married to Terry Goss and is currently a stay-athome mom to Piper Delamar-Goss. Paul III went to law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (GO HEELS) and met his wife, Sara, also in law school but they did not meet related to the law school. Sara, born in Lancaster, PA, another Yankee girl and a good’n, received a golf scholarship at UNC. Did I say GO HEELS before? Sara finished law school and clerked for the NC Supreme Court before going into Law practice with Paul III, with an office in Bayboro, NC. They have two children, Annie and Tommy, which are friends of my only child Ashlie’s children, Eili and Eva. As I have said in other articles, you cannot make this shi_ up. Brantley Norman, or is it Norman Brantley? Confusing huh? And there is Brantley Jr. – Junior and friends call him Brant. I call him Brant. Brantley Sr. is an interesting fellow. I have never seen him do any physical labor in the 20+ years I have known him. Though he seems to be at First Citizens making deposits every day and trading trucks every year or so. He is so tight that Paul at the hardware store orders Brantley a case of WD-40 each month. Brant told me that his Dad would die pouring coffee and I said that I hoped not and especially if he’s pouring coffee for me. I do not want to get burned by the Juan Valdez coffee that feel off the jackass’ back. It was scraped up and sent to Brantley. I told Brant that he would die with his hand in the register. When you die you cheap so-n-so, I am going to declare each Saturday free coffee day. What do you think of that? Cheap, Cheap, Cheap. His darling saint of a wife is Ms. Sil, matriarch of the family With Rick2 and the best maker of pies on earth. My first meeting Brantley and Sylvia was 1999 when I was doing sweat equity at the Bridge House for two years. They had a very small grill across the road that had crab pickers and a grill. For two years I ate breakfast, lunch and supper there, eating a big slice of coconut pie, with lunch and supper for two years. One would think with all the exerting myself and sweating for two years that I should maintain or lose weight. No – gained 20 damn pounds because of Sylvia’s coconut pie. I remind her all the time about looking like a Macy’s Day parade balloon when I am picking up a coconut pie. Those of you that may have been away for a while, Brantley has sold his business three times. I have heard it from Sylvia and Brantley many times over the years that they are getting old and should retire. Yeah right. He has sold the business three times I know of and probably more before I arrived. Brantley Sr. was born in Oriental in the 1600s to parents of God-like folk. He must have been the baby because to this day he is spoiled. If you are not friends of Brantley, you would not know this, the tight ass has a heart. He delivers meals that Sylvia prepares to the elderly women and women shut-ins in Oriental six days a week. I watch his girls X2 and Brant grow older, watch their own kids grow to adults and have their own kids. Jean Jean and I are proud to call them dear friends. Love the whole clan of yah. Jean Jean – a damn Yankee from Bucks County, PA – She has a mom (Big Regina) and two younger sisters – all live above the Mason Dixon Line. I met Regina at my 50th birthday party that she came to with friends, and not attached at the time. I vaguely remember much of the meeting. She gave me a gift certificate for a massage and I redeemed it seven years later, no lie. She was hard to get an appointment with way back then. When I became available a friend asked if I wanted to go on a double date with he and his wife, I accepted and we went to Chelsea’s in New Bern. Waiting to be seated, we had a drink at the bar and she wanted to pay the bill. I thought “What the hell?” No woman on a date with a Southern boy pays for any meal or drink – so I paid to her chagrin. We had a nice time and I told my friends I would take it from here. Our next date was of her choosing – Greenville for Indian food and ice skating. No respectful Southern man ice skates, but apparently all Yankee’s do. She looked like Dorothy Hamill, jumping in the air, skating backwards, not falling once. Me with my Southern pride got my ass out on that ice and gingerly advanced about one inch per minute. Then she decides to pull me around the rink – ice, like concrete, hurts when your buttocks hits it. I survived the night and October 21, 2013 we were married before God, my daughter and grandchildren. My friends asked me what the hell was I doing marrying a Yankee? I said I got the best of em and I did. God has continued to bless us and I can’t wait to see that curly red haired Catholic/Jew every morning. We are doing a self-study related to healing and personal miracles. What fun to walk in God’s path together. Love you Sugah – Meet the Norman, Lee, Midgette family. I know you already met my 11-year junior wife (not as much as Sherrill) that has a body of a 20-year-old and more mouth and opinions than a Chinese radio. Till next week – Wave to folks, find out who they are, and smile and be nice to folks, it will come back 10 fold. Till next week – Poppie Help Others A selfless act for another Is a victory over selfishness. 2630 MLK Blvd. New Bern, NC 514-0374 Popular New Year's Resolution 6A Commentary Two Sets of Rules Did you hear about Gold King Mine Spill in Colorado that will cause environmenMaureen Donald The Editor’s Desk tal damages for decades to come? Did you know estimates for responding to the spill could range from $338 million to $27.7 billion (that’s taxpayer money, by the way) based on the federal government’s own costbenefit analyses for cleaning up toxic waste and oil spills? And (here’s the big one) did you know the blame for this disaster is the government department charged with keeping us safe - the Environmental Protection Agency. It gets even worse (or more absurd might be more accurate) the agency delayed letting anyone know what was going on. But of course, it was made ever so much better because the EPA’s fall guy for this incident (their term for the disaster, not mine) took responsibility for the spill - they had a choice? Bottom line is the agency waited a day before sounding the alert after the accident at the abandoned mine. Contaminated water from the mine flooded into a nearby creek but it wasn’t until a full day later that townsfolk downriver got the word. Can you imagine what would happen if a private company Making Sense of Investing We’re getting close to Labor Day, a celebration of the men and women who roll up their sleeves and go to work each day. If you’re in the workforce yourself, you can appreciate this recognition of your efforts. And as an investor, you can employ these attributes of the American worker: • Organization – The most productive workers are those who organize their time and efforts to maximize their productivity. When you invest, organization is also important. You might have trouble gaining traction toward your goals, such as a comfortable retirement, if you own a bunch of scattered investments that aren’t really working together to help you. Instead, try to build a portfolio in which all your investments combine to provide the opportunities for growth and income you need to help reach your objectives. • Perseverance – As workers, all of us go through difficult times, whether with our bosses, co-workers or even the work Dan M. Roberts, IV Financial Advisor Fixing Failing Schools North Carolina has been talking for years about fixing failing schools, but so far it is mostly My Spin talk. It isn’t easy to discuss some Tom Campbell of the underlying issues involved without sounding accusatory, discriminatory or harsh, but for the sake of all our children we must cut through the Gordian knot we have created. Most failing schools have a preponderance of students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, frequently single parent homes where the parent either isn’t able or willing to provide the encouragement needed for the child’s success in school. This often becomes a discussion stopper because schools can’t fix socioeconomic problems or force parents to do what is needed for their child’s success. These children come to school unprepared and remain behind, unable to perform grade level work. Too many are minorities, making race the elephant in the room. No matter how well intentioned diversity and racial parity have become almost as important as the education children receive. Mainstreaming children already unable to perform grade level work merely continues the pattern of failure for them and presents Picking Partners All sorts of different things are happening at your community college and a common thread that runs amongst them all is “partnerships.” My goodness, if Cleve Cox life was a dance, we’d be on the floor PCC from the first song until the very last note. And that is how it should be. It is quite the challenge at times to keep up with all the initiatives that come our way, some originating in Washington (D.C., not Beaufort County), some originating in Raleigh, and some originating other places then channeled through DC or Raleigh. There are also regional initiatives, those endorsed by various professional organizations, and accreditation–related ones. We are not lonely! But the partnerships that are most critical to us are the local ones and in order to fulfill our mission, we will partner with anyone or anything to do so! We work closely with the Pamlico County Chamber of Commerce, which has quite the charge promoting Pamlico County near and far and responding to assorted inquiries from literally all over the place regarding this great place we call home. We are most fortunate to have the Chamber and those associated with it as they do their best to market Pamlico County and all that goes on here. Speaking of partnering with the Chamber, mark your calendars right now for the “Taste of Pamlico” on September 22 from 4 – 7 PM right here at the Delamar Center. Areas restaurants and our culinary class will have samples of their tasty delights while area musicians provide entertainment. And you can afford it, as it is WEDNEsday, SPETEMBER 02, 2015 caused this waste spill and reacted in this manner? Offhand I’d say a for sale sign would probably be in the company’s near future. Obviously the EPA doesn’t have to play by the same rules. Instead of simply fessing up - the agency released a statement stating, “When the event happened, the people on the ground misinterpreted, misread the severity of the impact.” Isn’t that what these people supposedly do for a living? Ok - I’m done reiterating what you probably already knew and likely have the same sentiments as myself about our government in action. It’s what happened this past week that really got my attention. Picture this: a rancher decides to built a small pond on his property (emphasis on the “his” part) and proceeds to secure all the needed permits (or so he thought). Andy Johnson of Fort Bridger, Wyoming says he made sure to get the proper permits from his state government before building the pond. After all, this is America in the 21st century, and nothing done on your own property - certainly when it involves the use of water - is beyond government concern. But now Johnson is facing millions in fines from the federal government after the EPA determined his small pond - technically a "stock pond" to provide better access to water for animals on his Investor Can Learn Much from the American Workforce itself – but we persevere. As an investor, you, too, will experience bumps in the road, in the form of market downturns. Yet, if you avoid making hasty and ill-advised moves in response to potential short-term volatility, you can maintain your focus on your longterm needs and goals – and, as a result, you can help improve your chances of meeting those needs and attaining those goals. • Vision – Workers put in their time, year after year, because they have a vision of what they hope their efforts will yield – a rewarding career, sufficient financial resources for their family, and so on. As an investor, you also can benefit from articulating a picture of what you hope to achieve. And that means you need to be specific about what you want. Instead of saying to yourself, ‘I’d like to retire comfortably someday,’ pin yourself down as to what this really means. At what age would you like to retire? Will you want to travel the world or stay close to home to pursue your hobbies? How much money will you need to make these wishes come true? Where will this money come from? By answering these and other questions, you can define a vision for your finan- cial future, leading you to the next step – creating a strategy to help turn this vision into reality. • Diversity – The American workforce benefits from drawing on the experiences and viewpoints of people from all different backgrounds. When you invest, you should also seek diversity. If you only owned one type of investment vehicle, such as growth stocks, and the market hit a downturn, your portfolio would likely take a big hit. It’s a given that the value of investments will fluctuate, which means, under some circumstances, you could lose some or all of your principal. But if you spread your dollars among a range of vehicles – including stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit and real estate – you can reduce the impact of volatility on your holdings. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) Labor Day will come and go quickly. But by emulating some of the characteristics of the American workforce, you can continue making progress toward your goals – without even having to work overtime. a serious dilemma for educators. Does the teacher devote a disproportionate amount of time and instruction to helping these children, making it difficult to devote sufficient attention to those at or above grade level? Does she try to be Superteacher, attempting to divide time between those below as well as those at or above grade level? The outcome isn’t usually satisfactory to anyone and the teacher gets worn out trying. Or perhaps the teacher, largely evaluated by class test scores, focuses primarily on those students who can assimilate and learn. That just perpetuates the cycle of failure for those who need the most help. Parents might value efforts for diversity, but they recognize their primary responsibility is to ensure their child gets a world-class education. Often parents become frustrated with what they consider insufficient challenges for their child to excel and vote with their feet, moving to charter or private schools. This prophesies further failure, as public schools become increasingly populated with average or under-performing students. Just as Alexander the Great slashed the legendary Gordian knot with a sword, we need to stop fiddling with the rope and cut through excuses and inaction. After dallying with Halifax County Schools since 2009, the State Board of Education finally stepped in to take over financial controls, but just controlling finances won’t fix their problems. More drastic action is called for. Representative Rob Bryan’s solution is to establish a pilot project to force five of our worst performing schools to either close or be taken over by successful charter schools. Based on models in Tennessee and New Orleans this might have promise but results are inconclusive. Let’s look at the problem from another viewpoint. Instead of concentrating on the whole school, why not place our focus on each child, where it belongs? We should devote our full attention to what will provide each with the highest and best education they can attain. Children who can and do achieve the most should be put in classes where they can move rapidly. Conversely, those children who need the most help will be put in classrooms where they get more specialized attention to help them succeed to higher levels. It’s time for honest conversation and more action so as to stop failing our children.

Contact him at www.ncspin.com. free! How ‘bout that for a partnership working in your favor!?! We also partner with local schools: Pamlico County, Arapahoe Charter, and Pamlico Christian Academy, by offering courses for their students, on their site or either on campus or at the Bayboro Center. This is good for all involved, as these students are earning college credit before they graduate which will obviously give them a leg up on a certificate, diploma, or degree with us or could well transfer to another college or university, depending on the course. This partnership includes the parent/parents/guardians of these students as courses taken in conjunction with a number of partnerships between schools and the college are tuition–free, meaning a whole lot of savings for higher education, which is probably the best investment in terms of time and resources one can make. Another partnership that certainly has implications for the quality of life for Pamlico County residents is working with the Pamlico County Economic Advisory Board. Beth Bucksot, economic development director for Pamlico County, works tirelessly seeking economic development opportunities for us. She is on quite the tight–rope as she balances between what we have to offer in terms of infrastructure, workforce, and environmental issues and does a fantastic job balancing the three. We are right there with her, ready, willing, and able to offer any type of education or training prospective employers might need, as a qualified workforce is a primary consideration when companies are pondering an expansion or re– location. We’re all in this together, that being the betterment of Pamlico County and encourage you to be involved, too. After all, Pamlico Community College is your community college.

Hospice To Host Community Appreciation Day At Thrift Shop In March of 1984, a steering committee was established to discuss the formation of a hospice in this community. Soon after that date, articles and bylaws were written. Board members were present and each was given $10.00 to cover office supplies. The first office opened at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Oriental. The second office opened across from Bayboro Post Office with “left overs” from the Saturday yard sales. This became the merchandise for the opening thrift shop. The hospice office then moved to the second floor of the former hospice location, previously known as the old Sears Catalog store in Alliance. The fourth location was in Grantsboro, sharing space with In Home Aide Care, owned by Roger and Diane McDaniel. Diane was one of the first hospice nurses. After the closing of their business, the Hospice expanded into the entire building. We have recently renovated the old Clover Farms building and on June 1, 2015, the Hospice office and Thrift Shop once again came under the same roof. Some of our largest fundraisers in the past have been the Shrimp-a-Roo, the published cookbook in 1998 and the renting of Lifeline units. Grants were written and money received. Our largest grants received were from Bates Foundation and United Way. However, in the recent economy, grants are not as available as they once had been in the past. Over the years, we have provided speakers from our staff and volunteers for churches and civic groups to promote community awareness of our hospice. If you would like someone to come and speak to your group, church or event, please give us a call at 252.745.5171. ranch - is somehow violating the federal Clean Water Act. In a compliance order, the EPA told Johnson he had to return his property - under federal oversight - to conditions before the stock pond was built. When he refused to comply, the EPA tagged Johnson with a fines of $37,000 per day - really. Dismantling the pond within the 30-day window the EPA originally gave him was "physically impossible," Johnson said. That was in 2012. Today, Johnson owes the federal government more than $16 million, and the amount is growing as he tries to fight back. How you might ask? He is taking the Environmental Protection Agency to federal court, asking a judge to stop the agency from fining him that whopping $16 million in fines. I figure the agency is trying to bolster its coffers after running up a massive tab in the Colorado spill. In a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court last week, lawyers representing Johnson argue the EPA overstepped its authority by fining the rancher. Frankly I’d like to “overstep” all over the EPA as well. To say the least - I hope Johnson wins. Someone needs to show our government the rules apply to it as well. I also want to know if the EPA has the ability to sue itself - it’s the least it can do. From 1984-2007, this Hospice ran solely on grants, fundraisers, memorials and donations. In 2007, we were granted Medicare certification, and soon after Medicaid, which means we are able to be reimbursed for those eligible. Others may be covered by a private insurance or have no insurance at all. No one is every turned away for the inability to pay. The revenue from the thrift shop is used to provide services to ensure that patients and their families never receive a bill for our services. We are the only non-profit hospice agency in Pamlico and Beaufort Counties. Thank you to all of those involved with the development and continuation of Hospice of Pamlico County. This Hospice was built on a tradition of love, commitment and quality care. To show our appreciation we will be holding a “Community Appreciation Day” on Saturday, September 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. featuring a special sale and refreshments. Anyone wishing to make a donation or memorial, please do so by calling 252.745.5171, M-F 9:00-5:00, and ask to speak with Carolyn Scott, Executive Director. Those who would like to make donations to the Thrift Shop, please call 252.745.5033 M-F 10:004:00 or Saturday, 10:00-1:00, and ask to speak with Bette Baldwin, Thrift Shop Manager.

I just returned home from a four day stay at Carolina East Betty Jo Medical Center so I do not have Rodgers much local news to report. I Correspondent have noticed signs on Straight Road saying they are doing road construction the entire length of the road, but the only evidence I have seen of any work is where the road has a bump all the way across it where the pavement is missing about a mile east of White Farm Road. I did notice that someone had knocked down the detour sign at the intersection of Trent Road and Straight Road. I also saw a sign that indicated there would be low shoulders and that gives me hopes of a possible paving for the road. There was the same type of sign posted on Bay City Road before it was paved. Of course, as soon as it was paved, two logging companies began taking out timber and using the newly paved road. I pray the heavy trucks do not destroy the new pavement. Some of the corn fields on Trent Road were harvested before the rains came, but there is still much to be harvested. I am sure the farmers are glad that Hurricane Erika has dissipated and is not coming our way. There are many in the county who need our prayers for healing and for discernment as to how to best treat their conditions. I praise the Lord that the many prayers lifted for me have been answered with grace and mercy. Last Sunday I missed wishing Reba Tiller a Happy Birthday. I sure hope it was a special day for her.

(Paid Obituary) Arrangements by Bryant Funeral Home & Crematory, Alliance. Labor Day Sale! 7A • Leonard Walter Anderson, 84, of Beaufort, died Monday, August 24, 2015 at his home. A service was held at Brooks Funeral Home on Thursday, August 27 with Rev. John Carlisto officiating. Burial was private in Oriental. In keeping with Len’s request, informal dress is appropriate for his service. Born in Chicago, Illinois on August 25, 1930 to Elmer Clarence and Martha Hansen Anderson, and raised in nearby Lake Bluff, his formative years -- during the Great Depression -- forged in him self-reliance and resourcefulness put well to use over the course of his years. Gifted with great natural ability and a unique sense of focus and determination, he welcomed competitive challenge. As a young man, he excelled as multi-sport athlete; in particular, as quarterback for three years with the undefeated Lake Forest High School football team. Offered a tryout -- as pitcher -- with the Chicago Cubs, he declined, opting instead to pursue a college education on football scholarship at Yale University. Midway through his junior year, Len withdrew, and enlisted in the U. S. Marine Corps, became an officer and served in the Korean conflict. Len always considered his time with the Corps as the defining years of his life. Upon his return from the Marine Corps, Len married Marilyn Goodman, a native of Wilmington, NC, re-enrolled at Yale and completed his studies there, followed by graduate work at the Harvard Business School. Later, he became a leading executive with Carolina By-Products in Greensboro, NC, guiding that company through development of its Chemol subsidiary, and several other operations. An accomplished bluegrass banjo player, Len enjoyed many good times and harmony among musician friends on his sailing vessels, most notably his boat, Banjo. In “retirement”, he became a charter captain of Banjo, and with first mate, Susan Sanders, built a series of coastal retail stores, Harbor Specialties. As an aside, he was a gifted craftsman, and co-founded two non-profit organizations. He is survived by his long standing first mate, Susan Sanders, of Beaufort; three sons, Leonard Walter Anderson, Jr., Karl Goodman Anderson, and his wife, Christine, all of Greensboro, and William Thank You, Dr. Hicks! The month of August was a busy one at Oriental Village Veterinary Hospital – more than 60 cats were altered free of charge due to donations received by PAWS and Dr. Hicks’ gen- Deaths Arrangements are by Brooks Funeral Home and Crematory Inc. of Morehead City.

Spaight, who had served as North Carolina’s first nativeborn governor, was mortally wounded after four rounds and Stanly was forced to flee the city. Stanly was eventually able to return to New Bern when his friend, Judge William Gaston, who convinced the governor to grant North Carolina’s first gubernatorial pardon to Stanly. Beginning with a performance by the Tyron Palace Fife and Drum Corps at 4 p.m. on the South Lawn, visitors are invited to watch the drama unfold. In the event of rain, performances will be moved into the North Carolina History Center’s Cullman Performance Hall. Admission to the Stanly-Spaight Duel is $6 for adults, $3 for students and includes admission to Tryon Palace gardens. A One Day Pass to Tryon Palace includes the duel at no additional cost, as well as admission to the Stanly House and the Regional History Museum, which includes an exhibit of dueling pistols from the early 1800s and a portrait of the man who helped Stanly get his pardon, Judge Gaston.

Women and the Home Front during the Civil War We know much of the soldiers on both sides who were involved in our 1861-1865 Civil War. We have photographs, letters and diaries. But what about those left behind at home? LeRae Umfleet, Assistant Director at Tryon Palace will address LeRae Umfleet, in Civil War period costume. that question at the New Bern Historical Society’s first Lunch & Learn of the season on Wednesday, September 9 at 11:30am at The Chelsea Restaurant. Her topic will be Women and the Home Front during the Civil War. The home front was also the battlefront on many occasions and just surviving under the blockade was difficult – women took to “rioting” in Salisbury just to get flour…..some were spies…. others became refugees…. all have stories to tell! New Bern’s story is unique because she was occupied for most of the war – thousands of Union soldiers called our town home and did much to describe her for us in letters, diaries, and sketches. They saved yet also destroyed portions of our built heritage in the process of occupation, effectively re-writing our architectural record. Learn about this, and much more of our history as LeRae Umfleet presents the season’s first Lunch & Learn. LeRae Umfleet is currently serving as the Assistant Director at Tryon Palace in New Bern. Before coming to New Bern, LeRae was the Administrator of the Education and Outreach Branch of the Office of Archives and History for the Department of Cultural Resources. Throughout her career in public history, LeRae has worked with a multitude of sites in a variety of capacities, including the North Carolina State Archives, the North Carolina Collection in Chapel Hill and many others. She has also served on many Boards and Councils. Lunch & Learn starts at 11:30 a.m. at the Chelsea Restaurant at 335 Middle Street in New Bern. Tickets are $16 for Historical Society members and $18 for non-members; lunch is included. Tickets must be purchased in advance by calling the New Bern Historical Society at 252-638-8558, or can be ordered on-line at www. NewBernHistorical.org. Ready…Aim…fire! Bumper Crop!

According to the Pew Research Center, 87 percent of individuals in America used the internet, email, or accessed the internet via a mobile device in 2014. Internet has become a staple for everyday activities and communications in the 21st Century world, but many still do not have access to the internet at home. In 2013, only 75.2 percent of individuals in North Carolina live in a household with highspeed internet according to the Pew Research Center. This 75.2 percent is not only below the national average, but shows a possible disconnect between the percentage of people that use and need the internet and the percentage of the people who have access to internet at home. While the data is not representative of Pamlico County at the local level, it does help to give insight on the problem of internet availability in the county. Pamlico Community College has been faced with the issue of internet availability in Pamlico County for many years, especially with the rise of the distance education era. When students do not have access to internet outside of school, or when the internet is unstable in locations throughout the county, it becomes harder for the student to complete assignments, do research, and study. Understanding this issue, PCC has taken steps over the years to improve the internet connection on campus. Just recently, PCC’s internet underwent a large renovation and upgrade. “The primary improvement in the wireless internet connection is bandwidth. For quite a while there were no high speed bandwidth options, but when the service became available to our area, we adopted it,” says Scott Frazer, Director of Computer Services. The new and improved wireless internet at PCC will not only make the connection more reliable for students, but it allows for greater efficiency in completing assignments on campus. Students no longer have to rely on desktop computers in the library or throughout campus to do work. “Faster and more reliable wireless internet enables students to use their own personal devices with confidence not only in the library, but throughout campus,” says Leigh Russell, Chair of Library Services and Cultural Things To Know 15 A 306 Head-on Collision Leaves One Dead N.C. Highway Patrol confirmed one person is dead Sunday after a fatal crash in Pamlico County. It happened around 12 a.m. on Highway 306. Sergeant Lamon Hill says a a white 2009 Nissan Cube traveling south on NC 306 in Pamlico County crossed the centerline and traveled into the northbound travel lane and struck a 2002 GMC pickup truck that was trav- eling northbound on NC 306 head on. The Nissan driver, 31-year old Shannah Pierce was killed in the crash. No other passengers were in her vehicle. The driver of the GMC pickup was under the age of 21 and was charged with D.W.I and consuming while operating a motor vehicle while under the age of 21. He was transported to Carolina East Medical Center. Ross Receives Prestigious Award Arapahoe Charter School Student enjoys improved wireless internet connection before Career and College Promise classes Tuesday morning. Enrichment Programs. Students are not the only ones benefiting from the upgrade. The new and improved wireless internet will allow the community to have access to reliable internet. “Community users may bring their personal devices to the PCC library and connect to the wirelessly. Just like our students, if community users are having problems with their home internet connection, they can come to PCC and have access,” says Russell. Students and citizens not only can experience the benefits of a new and improved wireless internet on the main campus of PCC, but can utilize the same service in all PCC buildings, including the Career Center, Bayboro Center, and Cosmetology Center. The Cosmetology Center even provides wireless internet to clients. “Clients will now be able to enjoy high speed wireless internet via the college’s new hotspot. Email, surf the web, or enjoy social media while you wait,” says Frazer. Pamlico Community College’s purpose is not only to serve the students, but to serve the community as well. This upgrade helps the college, the students, and the community. As Dr. Cleve Cox, President of PCC, states, “This upgrade is long overdue and will be appreciated throughout the entire campus and the county.” Pamlico County Schools is pleased to announce that during a recent regional meeting of school testing coordinators, Nancy Ross, Testing Coordinator for the school district, received the prestigious “Clyde Davis RAC (Regional Accountability Coordinator) 5 LEA (Local Education Authority) Testing Coordinator of the Year” for 2014-2015. This is the second year in which the award has been given in honor of Clyde Davis, retired Regional Accountability Coordinator for Region 5. Mrs. Ross began her career with Pamlico County Schools in 1999 as the district’s testing coordinator. Her position encompasses many responsibilities to include planning the testing calendar, training school testing coordinators, scanning, scoring and reporting testing data to local administrators, submitting test files to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) and ensuring that all eli- gible students are tested in the correct setting. In addition to her testing coordinator duties, Mrs. Ross serves as the district’s English as a Second Language (ESL) Services Coordinator and Homeless Student Liaison. During the past 16 years, she has performed her job responsibilities, both skillfully and accurately, and has guided the district through the ever changing student testing environment.
