Staff Reports
WalMart’s recent announcement to close 269
stores in the U.S. and globally is hitting close to
home. The Walmart Express in Oriental, which
garnered so much community resistance when
it opened its doors in May, 2014, is included in
that number.
According to a Walmart spokesperson, the
store in Oriental will officially close on January
28 leaving the town with no grocery store or
pharmacy. The move also impacts about 30
people employed at the Oriental store. However,
officials with Walmart say they plan to relocate
as many employees as possible to its store in
Grantsboro. They do not know specifically how
many employees will be relocated, but those
who are not will be paid for 60 days and others that are eligible will be offered a severance
package as well as resume and interview skills
training.
In total, approximately 16,000 associates will
be impacted by the decision, about 10,000 of
them in the U.S. More than 95 percent of the
closed stores in the U.S. are within 10 miles on
average of another Walmart, and the hope is that
these associates will be placed in nearby locations.
Walmart officials say there are no immediate
plans for the building itself, but with so many
stores in similiar situations they plan on selling
or leasing the building fairly quickly. Another 13
stores in North Carolina will be closing including
both in Snow Hill and Ayden.
As part of the closures, Walmart officials say
they will focus on strengthening Supercenters,
optimizing Neighborhood Markets, growing the
e-commerce business and “Closing stores is
never an easy decision, but it is necessary to keep
the company strong and positioned for the future”
said Doug McMillon, president and CEO, WalMart Stores, Inc. “It’s important to remember that
we’ll open well more than 300 stores around the
world next year. So we are committed to growing,
but we are being disciplined about it.”
Domestically, Walmart intends to open 50 to 60
Supercenters and 85 to 95 Neighborhood Markets.
Eight of those stores will be located in the state of
North Carolina where 17 store openings occured
in 2015.
“The decision to close stores is difficult and we
care about the associates who will be impacted,”
McMillon said. “We invested considerable time
assessing our stores and clubs and don’t take this
lightly. We are supporting those impacted with
extra pay and support, and we will take all appropriate steps to ensure they are treated well, he
added.”
Allen Price who is serving his first term as
Oriental Town Commissioner and his wife, Leigh,
are also reaching out to offer support to residents
who will be hurt by the closing of WalMart. They
are asking the community to continue to support local businesses to ensure Oriental remains
a vibrant community, with access to necessary
products and services. They are in the initial
stages of finding out which residents will need
assistance and how logistically they can help them
through a combination of transportation to and
delivery service from grocery stores and pharmacies in the Bayboro area. They are also reaching
out to area churches and organizations for volunteers and support.
“We are asking for volunteers so we, as a community, ensure we help anyone that needs assistance. This should be a temporary need between
WalMart closing and new businesses opening, at
which time we’ll turn our attention to fully supporting those businesses,” said Price.
People in need and those who wish to volunteer
are urged to please call 252-249-1361 or email
Allen at [email protected].
(See Letters to the Editor for community reaction, page 7A)
Empty shelves at the Walmart Express in Oriental are a sure sign
that the doors will close shortly.
New Food Initiative Forming
A group of local residents have banded
together to offer alternative fresh food
sources and to help those who may not
have the means of getting the basic needs
that Walmart has been providing.
The Oriental Food Initiative, looking to
support local businesses, has been networking with local farmers to bring fresh,
organic foods to the town. These products are currently being sold at The Inland
Waterway Provision Company.
Hoping to promote food, health and wellness, the group is exploring ways to educate the community about the importance
of fresh natural foods.
The group will hold a town meeting on
Wednesday, January 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the
Old Theater to introduce the evolution of the
group and the potential food sources they
have explored to accommodate the needs
of the town.

Caution! Speed Bump Ahead
Town workers complete the installation of a speed bump on Midyette Street just beyond the last
entrance to Triton Yachts. The move is in response to complaints by residents of speeding drivers on the street. There are now all-way stops on Midyette Street from Highway 55 to the Wildlife
Ramp and a decrease in the speed limit from 25 mph to 15 mph for the entirety of Midyette Street.
The exception is on North Street which will remain a two-way stop at Midyette because it is a state
road and signs are not permitted. Stop signs and speed limit signs have been installed and are being
enforced.
PCC to Host Author and Journalist
By Townley Cheek
On Thursday, January 21, Pamlico Community
College will host Nancy Pellegrini from Beijing,
China. Pellegrini, the Performing Arts Editor for
Time Out, Beijing and Time Out Shanghai, will
be leading an illustrated, interactive talk about
life in one of the fastest growing, most fascinating places on earth--China.
Pellegrini always had an interest in traveling.
From studying abroad in England and Ireland to
living in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, she
found her passion in learning about various cultures and has been able to share her passion and
experiences through writing. This passion has
taken her places all over the world and currently
to Beijing, China.
For the past sixteen years, Pellegrini has
lived in Beijing. During her time as a resident
of a foreign country, she has grown to love and
appreciate China’s culture, but most specifically
the arts.
Growing up in theatre and music, she was
able to find her niche by being the Performance/
Classical Editor for a local paper, covering
Beijing’s theatre, dance, and classical music
scene. Additionally, she hosts the popular
Sunday Salon at The Bookworm, introducing
classical conductors, composers, and perform-

Her column, “Get

keep the public informed on social and environmental issues facing China, which ultimately
inspired her next textbook. Her next textbook,
Global Cities Series Beijing, is to focus on sustainable development, citizenship, and globalization.
Eager to share her unique knowledge and
experiences, Pellegrini’s talk will be completely
free for all attendees.
PCC’s Culinary Program, winner of the Taste
of Pamlico Judges Award, will be providing a
themed lunch for just seven dollars. There is a
choice of roast pork blanketed with a sesame,
ginger sauce accompanied with snow peas and
mushrooms in a garlic butter sauce and sticky

State and local law enforcement spent
their holidays keeping impaired drivers off
the roads during N.C. Governor’s Highway
Safety Program’s “Booze It and Lose It” campaign, which ran from
December 11 to January
In 2015 there
were a total of

campaign.
enforcement agencies
participated in the campaign issuing 105,020
traffic and criminal citations in addition to the
2,822 DWI charges at 10,914 checking stations
and saturation patrols across the state.
The top five counties for DWI arrests during the campaign were: Wake County – 260;
Guilford County – 208; Mecklenburg County
– 168; Cumberland County – 136; and Forsyth
County – 125.
According to Sgt. Michael Baker of the NC
Department of Public Safety in 2015 there were
a total of 421 DWI related arrests in Pamlico
County and 31 during the “Booze It and Lose It”
campaign.
“It is our goal to reach zero fatalities on our
roads in North Carolina,” said Don Nail, director of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program.
“I am thankful of the work North Carolina’s law
enforcement officers did during the holidays
keeping those traveling the state's roadways safe,
averaging 128 DWI arrests per day during the
‘Booze It & Lose It’ campaign.” NC Transportation and Governor’s Highway
Safety Program utilized social media during the
campaign to complement the increased enforcement efforts, reminding drivers “Don’t Drink
and Drive. You’re Smarter Than That.” The campaign recommended drivers to take advantage of
the variety of options that are readily available to
get home safely after drinking —including calling a friend, using a taxi or ride service, taking
public transportation, or designating a driver.

Weekly Horoscope
Aries (March 21-April 19)
In the month ahead, two
things are important: The first is
friendship. An existing friendship
might become a strong focus for
you because you realize how
important this relationship is.
Or perhaps you will mend a broken friendship or
deepen an existing one. Possibly, the true value
of friendships in general plus your association
with clubs and organizations will be clearer. And
of course, some of you will make new friends.
The second thing that will be important is that
this is the best month of the year for you to make
goals. Because your idealism is aroused, you will
ask yourself what it is you want your life to really
be. Can you dare to be specific?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The next four weeks are the
only time all year when the Sun
is at the top of your chart acting
like a spotlight on you - and this
light is flattering! Naturally, this
is a wonderful benefit that you
can use it to your advantage. Since you have
the limelight, and you look good in it, now is the
time to direct a project to completion. People will
endorse you. They will listen to you. You don’t
have to be superstrong to convince others that
you know what you’re doing. This is also a time
that some of you will relate to a parent more than
usual. However, in the bigger picture, this means
you are out there in larger society boosting your
reputation in the eyes of others. Looking good!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You are a curious, restless
sign that needs stimulation and
freedom. In fact, your need for
freedom and stimulation will
multiply in the next four weeks,
which is why this is the perfect time to get outta
Dodge and travel. Go somewhere new and different to stir things up! Satisfy your need for adventure and a chance to learn something new. In this
same window of time, some of you will explore
opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine,
the law and higher education. Relations with partners and close friends are warm now; despite an
underlying challenge that will be there for another
year. Do new things, meet new people and learn
new ideas so you can expand your world!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Lucky you! The next four
weeks are one of the most
playful times of the year for
you! Basically, you want to be
free to express yourself and
do what you want. ‘Nuff said.
And one of the things that you want is a fun
time! That’s why you will feel lighter, more carefree, and interested in the arts, sports events,
parties and fun diversions. You might have a
stronger focus on children, as well. Fortunately,
fair Venus will sweeten your words so that you
are diplomatic and charming with everyone. In
fact, you can make money from your words!
Think about this.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Home, family and your
private life will become your
primary focus in the next four
weeks. Basically, you will want
to enjoy familiar surroundings, as well as enjoy the chance to cocoon at
home so that you can relax and contemplate
the coming year. This is certainly going to be a
powerful year for you, and a very popular one.
Therefore, it would be wise to think about how
you will handle this increased power and popularity. Ideally, not only you should benefit, but
others as well. Then you have a win/win situation, which is always the best because what
goes around, comes around. Think about it.
21)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
As the Sun changes signs
this week, you will hit the
pavement running because
it ushers in a month of fastpaced activity and accelerated
energy. Short trips, errands, and increased
opportunities to relate to others (especially siblings and neighbours) will create a jam-packed
schedule for you. Midst all this activity, do
take time out to buy some wardrobe treasures
because you couldn’t pick a better month to do
so. And it’s necessary to look great because
this is the year where you will promote your
reputation in the eyes of others. It’s all coming
together now, if you pay attention.
19)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You can expect to be more
passionate and intense about
everything in the next four
weeks. Yes, the obvious is true.
You will be sexually passionate.
However, at a more subtle level,
you will be just as passionate about discussions
regarding shared property, jointly-owned wealth,
taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance disputes.
You will also feel playful, prankish and flirtatious
this month! Many of you will go out of your way to
party, enjoy the arts, see or participate in sports
events and have fun with playful activities with
children. Ex-partners who are back in your life
might promote this. Enjoy fun times while you
can!
“Show me the money!”
The next four to six weeks
are the one time all year
when your focus on money,
cash flow, earnings and your
assets in general become an important focus
for you. Basically, this is your time to survey
your wealth and ask yourself how much it
helps you or hinders you. Sometimes what we
own becomes an albatross. For example, do
you own your stuff or does it own you? Does
it serve your needs or do you serve the needs
of what you own? The bottom line is what you
own should make your life easier not more difficult. You are a thrifty and you hate waste; but
you also hate dead weight.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is the only time all year
when the Sun, opposite your
sign for the next four weeks,
robs you of some of your energy
because the Sun represents
energy. In a word - this means
you will need more sleep and more rest. No biggie. In addition, this polarized position of the Sun
will prompt you to focus on your intimate one-toone encounters with others. This is an excellent
time to study these relationships to see how well
they do or do not fill your needs. It’s not a time to
go it alone. Au contraire! Others can help you in
the coming month. Therefore, value your interactions with others, and ask for what you want.
Parties, romance and the arts will please you.
However, your focus is really on boosting your
earnings, isn’t it?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Happy Birthday! The Sun
will be in your sign for the
next four weeks, giving you a
chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year.
It will also, almost by magic,
attract important people and favourable situations to you. It’s totally appropriate to be more
concerned with personal matters and your own
needs because - hey, it’s your turn! The truth
is your first duty is to yourself right now. And
when you think about it, if you don’t take care of
yourself, how can you be of any use to anyone
else? Therefore, put yourself and your needs
first. You are an idealist who wants to make the
world a better place. Therefore, you know that
this begins with being strong and ready to act.
Invest in yourself.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Down deep, you wish you
could be organized. You wish
you would exercise regularly
and eat healthy. Naturally, these
wishes do not guarantee
anything - but they do show
your intent and motivation. In the next four
weeks, you will have a closer chance of achieving your wishes because you truly will want to
become more organized, more productive and
more effective in everything you do. This might
be expressed through your job or anything that
you choose to embrace. For example, many of
you will be redecorating at home; while others
will throw energy into writing, teaching, selling,
marketing and acting. You want a lot for yourself
now - and why not?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Because your birthday is a
month away, this means your
personal year is coming to
an end. And since your new
personal year will not begin for
another four weeks at least,
this is the perfect time to use this interim phase
to ponder what you want your new year to be.
Think about your goals for 2016,. This is a powerful time for Pisces because not only are your
relationships a strong support and benefit to
you now, this is also when you are in your time
of harvest, reaping the seeds you have planted
since 2008. (Some can even look back to 2003.)
Powerful years don’t happen frequently; so it’s
important to take advantage of them when they
occur.Ya think?

Pamlico Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)
“NEW LEASH ON LIFE” Program - Everyone deserves a second chance”
PAWS rescues adoptable shelter dogs and pairs them with inmate trainers at the Pamlico
Correctional Institution. The inmates learn patience, responsibility and teamwork along with new,
marketable skills.
The dogs are vetted, vaccinated and altered, house, crate and leash trained, and receive basic
and advanced obedience, agility and rally training. These well-behaved companions graduate
every eight weeks, ready to join new, forever families - maybe yours?
Hi there - my name is Haley aka Peanut and as you can plainly see
I have ears that would make Sister Bertrille of The Flying Nun proud. Like the good sister I’m slight of frame and a good breeze could easily take us both away on a grand adventure. Weighing a mere 27 lbs.
and young - 2 or so years old, we could share a long happy life. I love
treats and going for sniff tests. Now, that I’ve landed on my feet in the
Pamlico New Leash on Life program for 8 weeks of confidence building, my difficult past is just a fading memory and being a true southern
lady, I’ll never tell you my tale. A low energy hound mix girl that just
wants her furever human to appear, so we can have many adventures
together. My foster dad says I get along well with other dogs and not
so well with all cats. Haley has been sponsored by Dr. Sherri Hicks of
Oriental Village Veterinary Hospital
I’m Scarlet and a sweeter dog you’ll never find. I truly love everything and everyone. No one knows exactly what I am, but some
seem to think I’m part Labrador, Spaniel, and maybe Terrier. They all
say the same thing “whatever she is she got the best of everything”.
Still a young girl at 11 months old we could have many happy years
together. A cuddlebug that would love nothing better than to be your
couch potato every night.Scarlet has been sponsored by Ron and
Louise Stevens.
Woof, Woof, Woof, Cole is my name and playing is my game. “Play,
play, play all day” is my motto. I’m so glad to be in the New Leash on
Life program at Pamlico’s Correctional Institution. I’ll have eight weeks
of learning all kinds of fun stuff. Some people have said they think I
might be a Sheltie mix which means I’m very smart. I really really love
kids and children too. My foster mom says I’m sweet and a love bug.
Just a baby at around 5 months old it will be your job to teach me
everything you want me to do. Cole has been sponsored by Delanie
Royal and Ed and Lee Duer
If you’re interested in adopting a NLOL dog contact Jackie Schmidt at 649-5504 or Penny Monell at 249-1453.
You can also email PAWS at mail.pamlicopaws.net and download an adoption application
at pamlicopaws.net on the individual dog’s page . Neighborhood

The upcoming Special
Exhibit at Oriental’s History
Museum illustrates some of
the traditional navigational
methods for coastal piloting
and off-shore passagemaking
and the tools used with those
methods.
The exhibit opens on
Sunday, January 31 at 2
pm with a lecture by Capt.
Don Charland, instructor at
Wide World Marine Training
School. He’ll give a basic
overview of the components and theory of Celestial
Navigation and answer questions afterwards.
Navigation involves
knowing where your boat
is, knowing how to reach a
destination, and ensuring that
the boat safely reaches that
destination. Today’s boaters
navigate using GPS, smartphones, iPads and electronic charts. What if
your GPS failed or the electronic charts were inaccurate, could you figure out where you were?
Traditionally, boaters would estimate the boat’s position using deadreckoning or celestial navigation. Simple tools were used such as taffrail log, compass, sextant, and a reliable timepiece. Courses would be
plotted on paper charts using course plotters, parallel rulers, protractors
and dividers. When near coastal waters, piloting was assisted by using
external aids such as radio beacons, lighthouses, buoys, and landmarks.
Visit the exhibit and get inspired to learn these traditional methods
as a backup on your next cruise. Two more programs are scheduled for
spring.
The exhibit runs through the end of May. For more information contact us at 252-249-1870 or [email protected]. The Museum is
located at 802 Broad Street in Oriental. Hours are: Friday 11-3, Saturday
1-4, Sunday 1-4. Admission is always free.

“We followed 639 people, ages 36 to 90 for nearly 12 years, and found that
for each 10-decibel loss in hearing, the risk of dementia rose about 20 percent
among the participants. Compared with those who could hear normally when
first examined, the risk of dementia doubled among those with mild hearing loss,
tripled among those with moderate hearing loss and increased fivefold among
those with severe hearing loss.”

Statewide Kickoff to Black History Month
BIG JANUARY
SAVINGS!
• 15th Annual African American Cultural Celebration
Join the statewide kickoff to Black History
Month at the N.C. Museum of History in
Raleigh. On Sat., Jan. 30, from 10:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., the 15th Annual African American
Cultural Celebration will feature over 75 musicians, storytellers, dancers, chefs, historians,
playwrights, authors, artists, re-enactors and
more. Admission is free for this family festival, named a “Top 20 Event” in 2015 by the
Southeast Tourism Society.
From acclaimed gospel singer Mary Williams
and the MLK All-Children’s Choir to New York
Times best-selling author Damon Tweedy and
“Personal Chef to the Stars” Chef Rome, a variety of presenters will share African American
heritage and culture. Plenty of hands-on activities for children will include a scavenger hunt
and making a cowrie shell necklace.
“This year’s African American Cultural
Celebration will focus on the theme Civil Rights
— March On!,” said Emily Grant, who has
organized the event since 2001. “It’s a great way
to learn about our history, both the celebratory
and painful pieces of our past.”
For example, re-enactor Carolyn Evans will
portray activist Mamie Till in her presentation
of Women Who Could’ve Sung the Blues, and
Saauda Eshe will sing freedom songs when she
presents a powerful characterization of Odella
Holmes, who had an active role in the 1963
March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
The festival’s excitement begins on Bicentennial Plaza at 10:30 a.m., when the Tryon Palace
Jonkonnu Drummers and A Drummer’s World Drumline will process to the museum to open the
event. There is so much to see and do, so plan to stay for the day.
The African American Cultural Celebration will be presented in six categories that encompass
culture and history. Several
event highlights follow;

Obituary
“Come Unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28
Mother Martha Rosetta Jones, daughter of
George Marshall and Addie Midgette Marshall, was born
on April 10, 1931 in Vandemere, North Carolina. On
Tuesday, January 5, 2016, she departed this life at home.
She received her education from the
“Old Schoolhouse.”
Martha married Earl Dubois Jones and this union
was blessed with three children, Ronell, Pam and Tyrone.
Tyrone, Dubois and Ronell preceded her in death as well
as her parents and brothers George and Bodine.
Mother Jones, known as “Soe”, Aunt Rosetta, “cousin
Rosetta” was passionately loved by all who met her.
Rosetta had a quiet sense of humor that would have you
laughing in the shortest conversations. She was a hard
working woman, who worked various jobs until her daughter became ill and she became her
caregiver for 26 years.
Mother Jones was a devoted and loyal member of St. Galilee M.B. Church. She was an usher,
choir member, Mother of the Church for numerous years and a cherished member of “The
Marshall Family Gospel Singers” for 22 years. She was a dutiful member until her health failed.

Simple Steps to Prevent Home Heating Fires
According to NFPA heating equipment is the
leading cause of home fire deaths and is the
second leading cause of home fires following
cooking in the U.S. Home heating fires peak
in the early evening hours and peak in January
and decline to the lowest point during the summer months from June to August. Chris Murray,
Director of Emergency Management and Fire
Marshal for Pamlico County, reports that there
were four furnace fires and two heater fires
reported in 2015 and thankfully no fire related
fatalities. Murray suggests that just a few simple
steps can prevent most heating-related fires from
happening.
When using space heaters keep anything that
can burn such as bedding, clothing and curtains,
at least three feet away from the heater. Make
sure the heater has an automatic shut-off, so if it
tips over, it shuts of. Turn heaters off when you
go to bed or leave the room. Plug portable heaters directly into outlets and never into an extension cord or power strip and only use portable
heaters from a recognized testing laboratory.
When using a fireplace keep a glass or metal
screen in front of the fireplace to prevent
embers or sparks from jumping out. Do not burn
paper in your fireplace. Put the fire out before
you go to sleep or leave your home and be sure
to put ashes in a metal container with a lid, outside, at least three feet from your home.
When using a wood stove make sure your
wood stove is three feet from anything that can
burn. Do not burn paper in your wood stove. Put
for you and your sweetheart...
a romantic table for two!

the fire out before you go to sleep or leave your
home and be sure to have your chimney inspected and cleaned each year by a professional.
Always have a qualified professional install
stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to
local codes and manufacturer’s instructions.
Have your furnace inspected each year and keep
anything that can burn away from the furnace.
Only use kerosene heaters from a recognized
testing laboratory and be sure to use the right
kind of fuel specified by the manufacturer. Make
sure the heater has an automatic shut-off, so if it
tips over, it shuts off and be sure to refuel your
cooled heater outside.
Murray also says it is important to test smoke
alarms monthly, never use your oven to heat
your home and always designate a three foot
“kid-free” zone around open fires and space
heaters as added measures to ensure a fire-safe
home.

While I have pretty thick skin, the personal
attacks on “Town Dock” and “Facebook” directed
toward the town and county commissioners,
including myself, has started to upset me. I fall somewhere in the middle of the political
spectrum but I am largely a fiscal conservative. I voted to give water to Walmart because there
were at least three ways that they could have sued
the Town of Oriental if we refused. We were in
the middle of a lawsuit concerning our new town
dock that ultimately cost the Town about 1/6th
of our annual budget. Not one of the supporters
of the expansion of our boating facilities offered
to donate one penny to help us in that lawsuit. I
would have expected that same level of non-support if Walmart had sued us. The local media chose to not point out that
issue during the Walmart debate. It appeared to
be more desirable for them to discuss the “moral”
issues of having a Walmart in our town. They
certainly had the right to do that but as elected
officials, the other commissioners and myself,
had a fiscal responsibility to protect the town
from another potential lawsuit. There was even
an effort to increase property tax rates to fight
the existing lawsuit. I was opposed to that and,
in fact, opposed to any tax increases unless absolutely necessary. Not all of our commissioners
felt that way. Yes, I am unhappy that Walmart made a business decision to close over two hundred stores. It
seems to be the norm that U.S. Businesses in the
current era don’t consider morality in their business decisions. A lot of people have made a lot
of money because of that attitude. Courts also
ignore morality issues and make their decisions
based on law. That being said, I felt that Walmart treated their
employees very well. A couple of employees told
me that they were making more money than they
ever had and for the first time in their lives they
had access to benefits. In response to my question a cashier at Walmart told me that the company has offered to help employees in the local store
find positions at other Walmart locations. This action by Walmart may turn out for the
best. There is certainly interest in purchasing or
leasing the Walmart building. It appears that there
is now less interest in the much older and dilapidated Town and Country location. We could,
however, end up with a locally based store in a
nice modern facility that would meet most of our
needs and desires. I sincerely hope that is the end
result. Larry Summers

Center in New Bern. This is the meeting where
the members elect the Board of Directors and
help set the agenda for NCFA for the upcoming
year. The agenda will include the election of
Board members and a discussion of some very
important issues facing commercial fishermen
in 2016 including the latest on the southern
flounder situation and the Marine Fisheries
Commission's role in the definition of a commercial fisherman.

after three. The Cane’s Cedric Coffey scored 10
points in the first quarter but only three thereafter.

I am writing this letter as an outsider looking in on the situation. I am not a resident of
Oriental, nor am I even a resident of North
Carolina. I discovered Oriental, as many did,
looking for a good restaurant near Camp Sea
Gull.
This week, I was excited to hear the news of
the closing of the Oriental Wal-Mart. While I am
not excited for the around thirty individuals who
had lost their part time jobs at the Wal-Mart, nor
am I excited for the inconvenience that this will
cause to Oriental residents; I am excited as to a
cancer on the town of Oriental has been killed.
It is well known that Wal-Mart has a long
history of selling products that are produced in
China, along with bad business practices.
It is also well known that Wal-Mart has caused
businesses like Town’ n Country to go out of
business.
However, the focus of my grievances is my
calling for the Town of Oriental to change.
The Wal-Mart should be a wakeup call to the
community and the Town Board. I believe the
Board had no ill intent when they voted to allow
Wal-Mart to tap into Oriental’s water and police
resources even though they paid no taxes to the
town.
It is said that a verbal agreement was made
between Wal-Mart and the Town to pay Oriental
the equivalent amount that Wal-Mart would have
to pay in property taxes if Wal-Mart was in the
limits of Oriental. However, according to towndock.net, Town manager Diane Miller said that
Oriental never received a payment from WalMart.
Unfortunately, I do not believe that Oriental
will be able to recoup the few thousand dollars
that should of been paid to them by Wal-Mart,
simply because Wal-Mart did not violate a documented agreement.
I would like to call on the town council to
understand that all agreements need to be documented, especially when the results could affect
the entire economy of the town.
I would also like to call on everyone reading
this to sign a petition (link below), to ask WalMart to donate the building that they are abandoning to the Town of Oriental.

Commentary
Brrrr
I’m starting to hate winter.
I’m not quite certain when it
Maureen Donald started but at this stage in my
The Editor’s Desk life, I’ve come to the conclusion I truly hate being cold.
If we lived in Aspen or Vermont, I imagine we’d embrace winter by now. After all, there’s little choice but to embrace it when
the snow comes in November and doesn’t leave until April. But in
North Carolina, winter is simply a nuisance – not quite a real winter, just cold and dreary enough to be miserable.
No doubt about it I have a love-hate relationship with it that
gets totally confusing. I think I might adjust to the cold if the temperature would only remain consistently cold.
Instead, we get snow two weekends ago, spring-like 60-degree
temperatures this past weekend, and then the winter storm projected to hit us at the beginning of last week.
Actually, we can expect one thing: inconsistency.
Of course all this inconsistency gives me plenty of time to catch
my breath in the dreary, snail-slow months of winter. I just wish
there were some way to quit wasting time waiting for something
to happen Oh, well. Waiting isn't all that bad a thing. I find that
historically some of my best times and some of my best ideas
came about during the time I was spending waiting for something
else to happen.
Well, with the holidays behind us and Spring the closest thing to
look forward to, now, as they say, is the winter of our discontent –
the time of year when we just have oodles of time to contemplate
how slow time moves forward and oodles of time to daydream.
I know North Carolina’s not the only place getting crazy weather. I guess we can blame all of this on El Niño and La Niña, those
fickle enigmas we hear about from the meteorologists.
The older I get, the more winter gets to me. Here’s a short list of
why that is, in hopes of getting some of these bad feelings out of
my system.
1. Winter is cold. Cold is bad. When you're sick, has anyone
ever said, "Do you have a warm?" Nope. It's always, "Do you
have a cold?" From this logic cold = sick. Enough said.
2. Itchy skin. My theory is that this is caused by the drying of
the skin from all of the artificial heat we have to expose ourselves
to. It might also be from the harsher winter fabrics. I never get
itchy skin in the summer.
3. Sickness. Everyone always seems to get the aforementioned
cold in the winter. Supposedly because we're all crammed indoors
together. I think it's because our bodies are weak and susceptible
to germs from lack of joy.
4. Short days. These are especially tough. We only have 80
Making Sense of Investing
We’re just a few weeks
away from the first caucuses and primaries, so
presidential election season is in full swing. As a
voter, you may be keenly interested in the election process. But as an investor, should you be
Dan M. Roberts, IV
Financial Advisor
concerned?
If you take a look back, you might be somewhat encouraged
over the prospects of the financial markets this year. In the last
12 presidential election years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
has been up nine times and down just three. So, election years
must be good for the financial markets, right?
Not necessarily. In every year, the markets are influenced by
a variety of factors: interest rates, inflation, corporate profits,
geopolitical events, economic growth, even the weather. And it’s
safe to say that 2016 will be no different. At this early stage of
the year, one could say that some of these factors, such as continued low interest rates and a reasonably strong economy, might
bode well for investors.
But there’s a lot of 2016 ahead of us – and it’s notoriously difficult for anybody, even so-called experts, to accurately predict
Will the Presidential Election Affect Investment Outlook?
the market’s performance over a relatively short time, such as
a year.
Still, the market’s history of pretty good results in presidential election years may not be entirely random. For one thing,
the White House is never the only office being contested; elections are also held for every congressional district and many
seats in the Senate.
Consequently, during these election years, campaigning often
takes precedence over legislating. This legislative inactivity
tends to be welcomed by the financial markets, which generally
dislike surprises, big changes and new directions.
However, you can’t really count on past trends to provide
a certain roadmap for the year ahead, in terms of the performance of the financial markets. As mentioned above, many
factors influence this performance, and at this early stage in
the year, we just can’t predict which of these factors will take
precedence.
So, instead of worrying about things you can’t control, focus
on those that you can.
For starters, review your investment mix. Does it still properly reflect your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon? Over
Adopt Guidelines for Safer Opioid Prescriptions
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration should address the
rise in opioid abuse by adopting
Attorney
new guidelines proposed by the
General
Centers for Disease Control and
Roy Cooper
Prevention, says Attorney General
Roy Cooper.
Yesterday, Cooper joined 35 additional state and territory
attorneys general in a letter calling on the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) to begin following the Centers for
Disease Control’s Proposed 2016 Guideline for Prescribing
Opioids for Chronic Pain. The guidelines seek to reduce risks of
drug abuse associated with chronic pain treatment by improving
the way drugs such as Codeine, hydrocodone and oxycodone are
prescribed.
“Opioid misuse and abuse affects thousands of lives each year
in North Carolina and across the country,” Cooper said.
“Safer, stricter guidelines for prescribing painkillers can help
save lives.”
years or so on this earth. We're being shortchanged out of a lot of
daylight in the winter. And we don't get any rollover daylight from
the summer months.
5. Bad drivers. Your everyday, run-of-the-mill, terrible summer drivers become serious life-threatening hazards in the winter. Some people refuse to slow down in the snow and ice. They
should give tests at the DMV for a winter driver's license. If you
don't have one, you can't drive again until the flowers start popping up again.
6. Aggravated people. Your everyday, run-of-the-mill, annoying
summer people become hyper-aggravating in the winter - whining
and complaining about all of the things on the list above and then
some. Hey, wait a minute, I think I might be one of those.
7. Snow. Snow is fun when you're a kid. It's a total pain as an
adult.
8. Ice. Snow's diabolical cousin, ice is pure evil. I like a little ice
in a cold beverage, that’s it.
9. High winds. You're stuck inside with itchy skin and a cold
and all you can do is watch TV or surf the web. And then here
comes the wind and your power goes out. Now all you have left
is, you guessed it, itchy skin and a cold.
10. Dumb weather forecasts. "More rain, cold temperatures,
high winds, snow and ice. No kidding.
According to a 2013 report from the N.C. Division of Public
Health, more than 1,000 people in North Carolina die from prescription drug overdoses each year. A report from the National
Institute on Drug Abuse recently indicated that prescription opioid misuse and abuse is also a growing problem nationwide. In
2014, there were more than 18,893 opioid overdose deaths in the
U.S., a 369 percent increase since 1999. Deaths from prescription painkiller overdoses even outnumbered deaths from illicit
drug use, including both cocaine and heroin overdoses combined.
In the letter to the FDA, the attorneys general explained that
clear, practical guidelines can help medical professionals avoid
overprescribing powerful, potentially habit-forming opioid
drugs. The attorneys general also wrote that considering lower
doses or alternative treatment methods should be considered
before deciding to prescribe opioids.
“By better informing and guiding prescribers, these Guidelines
will not only provide a strong framework for providers, but they
will also improve the access to opioid for patients for whom they
are the best choice,” the attorneys general wrote in the letter.
Flexibility and Accountability in Public Education
You may or may not have
noticed but North Carolina’s
political leadership has undertakMy Spin by
en a fundamental shift away from
Tom
unqualified support of traditional
Campbell
public schools towards favoring
charter, private and even online
schools. The merits of this policy are subject to debate, but there
is no denying the trend.
It started with the demand for more choice in where and how
children received the mandated primary education, culminating,
in the waning hours of the 1996 General Assembly, in a new law
authorizing the initiation of publicly funded charter schools, capping their number at 100. These charters were granted greater
flexibility in organization and implementation of education in
hopes that new innovations would emerge; new approaches
and instruction that could be implemented in traditional public
schools.
The movement gained momentum when the cap was lifted
in 2011, resulting in the current 158 charter schools serving
approximately 70,000 (about 5 percent) of the 1.5 million k-12
students in our state.
While data collected from charters is sometimes not as
detailed as that from traditional district schools there are some
significant trends to note. For the first time, the number of nonwhite students in traditional schools is larger than white students.
In contrast, charter enrollments contain higher percentages of
white students from wealthier families than their traditional
counterparts.
How well are they performing? The Stanford University
Center for Research and Educational Outcomes reports that
charters outperform district (traditional) public schools in reading while underperforming in math. The Public School Forum
of North Carolina data shows that 11 percent of charter schools
received “A” grades, compared to 5 percent of district schools.
But 14 percent of charters received “F” grades, compared to just
6 percent of district schools.
The granting of flexibility was always accompanied by the
demand for accountability. Charter schools were required to earn
renewal through solid academic performance. There is disturbing
evidence those accountability requirements are being relaxed. A
2015 law made it more difficult to refuse their renewal, at the
same time shifting some of the oversight of them away from the
Department of Public Instruction.
But charter schools are not the only move away from traditional public schools. In the 2014-15 school year our state
began giving vouchers of $4,200 to low-income parents for
“Opportunity Scholarships” to be used to enroll their children in
private schools.
Many argued this move violated our Constitutional requirement that public monies not be disbursed for private purposes,
but our State Supreme Court, in a split decision, allowed taxpayer dollars to pay private school tuition.
It is far too early to know how well these “scholarship” students will perform, but we are already rapidly expanding the
program. What started as a $10.8 million budget appropriation
in 2014 has exploded to an authorized $24.8 million, funding
nearly 6,000 students.
And we are highly skeptical of online schools.
Our purpose here is to neither condemn nor endorse charters,
private schools or, for that matter, traditional district public
schools. It is to point out the shift occurring in public education.
We favor giving educators flexibility and encouraging innovation, however we cannot permit less than total accountability
and excellence. Let us not be distracted from our primary goal to
provide each child the “sound basic education” our Constitution
requires.

time, even if you haven’t made many changes to your portfolio,
it can become “unbalanced.” For example, if you own some
stocks that have increased greatly in value over the years, these
stocks may now be taking up a larger percentage of your holdings than you had intended, bringing with them a higher degree
of risk. Consequently, you might want to consider selling off
some of these stocks and using the proceeds to fill in other
gaps in your portfolio.
On the other hand, if you think your mix of investments is
not providing you with the returns you need to help make progress toward your long-term objectives, you may need to add
some vehicles that can provide you with more growth potential.
After all, it’s 2016 now, so whatever your age, you are another
year closer to retirement.
Will this year look like past presidential election years, as
far as good returns from the stock market? No one can say for
sure. But if you “vote” for smart investment moves, you won’t
be sorry.

Cooper has led efforts to address prescription drug abuse and
misuse of both name brand and generic painkillers and helps to
promote Operation Medicine Drop and other ways for people
to dispose of unused prescription medication safely. Under
Cooper’s leadership, the NC Department of Justice has also
worked with education, law enforcement, and public health professionals to develop a training course for North Carolina teachers called Preventing Substance Abuse and Underage Drinking
among K12 Students. Each spring, Cooper’s office sponsors the Stop Rx
Abuse video contest to educate North Carolina middle and high
school students about the dangers of prescription drug abuse.
Any North Carolina student enrolled in grades 6 through 12 can
participate by creating a 30-second public service announcement video on teen prescription drug abuse and entering it for a
chance to win prizes. This year’s contest will accept completed
applications and video entries from March 1 through April 18,

influences shaped our spiritual development and how
we can authentically express our spirituality in the
busyness of daily life. We will use storytelling, music,
poetry, prose and the power of sitting in communion
with other women as portals to look deeper into

day. Elizabeth Cuthrell is not looking forward to cranking up
her bus about five o'clock in the mornings during the cold mornings next week. WOW met Friday night but I missed the meeting because
of the weather. The next meeting is the Souper Bowl this
Saturday from noon-2pm at the Strike Zone in New Bern. A
can of soup per person for the soup kitchen will give members
and a guest free bowling. RSVP to Mike or Linda Cuthrell at
252-229-0625. Remember Jane L'Hommedieu as she goes in to New Bern for
radiation every day next week. Stop in at the new Hospice Store
and check out the winter clothes because you will need them
with the cold weather closing in on us. Thought for the week --- Today we inherit the benefits earned
yesterday. Tomorrow we'll be heir to what we do today.
was a Catholic Priest who through his “95 Theses” was responsible for the Reformation of the Christian church. This priest
is probably the origin of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s given name.
Martin Luther King, Jr. grew into his given name becoming a nonviolent pastor who advocated peaceful change. Are you living
into your given name? Do you even know what your given name
means? I am sure you could find out a lot about it and your genealogy, if you visited our Heritage Center in Grantsboro.
Yesterday, the Methodist churches celebrated Human Relations
Day. For Methodists it was a day to support education for all ethnic groups to help to overcome injustice and empower those struggling to survive.
I am looking forward to the Prime Time Lunch and Learn series
on Tuesday, January 19, 11:30 am at Oriental United Methodist
Church Fellowship Hall. By the time you read this, I hope to have
seen many of you there. Faye Bond is Oriental’s living history.
Faye's family founded the town and what an exciting opportunity
to hear how this town we all love came to be what it is today! Celebrating birthdays in January are Ned Ferris (1/21), Kate
Moye and Jenny Lupton (1/22), and Shari Roberts Hale (1/31).
Have a blessed week. Yearning for hope? Take Spiritual

of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me." (Psalms 23:4)

It’s Girl Scout Cookie time! Girl Scouts – North Carolina
Coastal Pines 2016 Girl Scout Cookies Sales program is underway. The Girl Scout Cookie Sale program, which is the organization’s largest fundraiser, is a true financial literacy program helping girls learn skills to be leaders in business and sales, manage
their finances, and gain self-sufficiency and confidence handling
money.
Girl Scouts will sell cookies door to door, at booths, and online
through Digital Cookie 2.0, a national platform enabling girls to
sell cookies through personalized cookie websites. For the second
year, girls will utilize an online business center as part of digital
platform powered by COCOdirect to set and track goals, manage
their cookie activities, and even accept orders through smartphones and tablets. Digital Cookie strengthens and expands the
Girl Scout Cookie Program by combining the values and lessons
of door-to-door and booth sales with crucial twenty-first-century
business and entrepreneurial skills, sustaining the Girl Scout tradition of preparing today’s girls to be tomorrow’s leaders.
“With this engaging new technology, girls who participate will
learn skills to help put them ahead of the curve when entering
the workforce, and customers can feel good about supporting
girls’ STEM education while purchasing their favorite Girl Scout
Cookies,” said Lisa Jones, chief executive officer at Girl Scouts –
North Carolina Coastal Pines. “Girl Scouts is proud to be a leader
in teaching girls about money management and goal tracking in a
digital space that puts an emphasis on safety, learning and fun.”
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. “When customers purchase a box of Girl Scout Cookies, they
are supporting a program helping girls grow into leaders in their
own life, in business, and in their communities,” said Jones, adding, “Simply put, the Girl Scout Cookie Sale program helps girls
to learn, to lead, and to succeed.”
This year’s sale celebrates 10 years of the favorite
Lemonadesä cookie. Other favorites of the program include
Thin Mints®, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwich,
Shortbread, Thanks-A-Lots®, Caramel deLites®, and Cranberry
Citrus Crisp. Made with real chocolate chips, real peanut butter and certified gluten free whole grain oats, Trios® will be
sold for the second year as a gluten free option. Locally, all Girl
Scout Cookie varieties are $4.00 per box.
Sale proceeds remain in central and eastern North Carolina to
benefit local Girl Scouts. Girls decide how to spend their troop
cookie money and reinvest it back into their neighborhoods
through community service projects and learning experiences, like
travel opportunities. Because 100 percent of the net revenue raised
through the Girl Scout Cookie Program stays with the local council and troops, customers who purchase Girl Scout Cookies are not
only getting a delightful treat—they are also making an important
investment in their communities.
The Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines’ Cookie
Program will run through Sunday, March 6, 2016. To find cookies
on sale near you, visit www.girlscouts.org/cookies. For information about Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines’ 2015-2016

Ask the Aquarium
Q. My son and I often find cone-shaped shells
attached to shells and debris on the beach. The
attached shells are all sizes and some are quite
large. They are mostly white or white-ish purple
with an opening at the top and shaped kind of
like a volcano. Are they parasites?

www.axelsonchiropractic.com
A. A variety of shells will attach to other
shells, but the ones you describe are acorn barnacles. The shape and opening at the top is the
giveaway.
Acorn barnacles can be small, the size of a
pea or smaller, or quite large and are usually
found attached in mass to pilings, docks, shells,
driftwood, most any floating debris – even ships.
They also attach to sea turtles, whales and other
sea animals.
The barnacles hitchhike a ride without harming the host, unless the host is wood. Barnacles
speed up wood rot and increase drag, which
is why boat owners keep their boat bottom
scrubbed. Barnacles are of special concern to
larger ships, such as oceangoing liners, because
drag causes more fuel consumption.
Barnacles are hermaphroditic but usually
reproduce by cross fertilization. There can be
many thousands of barnacles per square meter,
and it is not unusual to find huge populations
of barnacles crowded on top of older barnacles.
Young barnacles are very selective as to where
they attach; a hard surface already colonized by
other barnacles is preferred.
The life of a barnacle begins when one barnacle extends a slender sperm tube from its shell
into the shell of a nearby neighbor. Eggs are fertilized and hatch inside the parent barnacle. The
microscopic larvae soon leave the parent and
join the oceanic free-floating zooplankton for
several weeks.
Barnacles are crustaceans and must molt to
grow; however, they don’t shed their calcium
shells like other crustaceans. Instead they create
another calcium layer over the existing layer.
As the calcium layers accumulate the barnacle
enlarges.
The barnacle’s central opening is at the top of
the shell. Six pairs of larval legs called “cirri”
(feathery, fan-like structures) rhythmically wave
in and out and back and forth from the opening.
The cirri are like tiny hands, pulling water in and
out to capture planktonic and detrital food for the
barnacle. Barnacles that have formed beds must
be covered with water twice daily to survive.
When the tide falls below the barnacles’ level,
they retract their cirri and close their shells to
avoid drying out.
Barnacles are most visible in shallow areas.
Two of the most common are acorn barnacles
and gooseneck barnacles. The term “acorn”
refers to their resemblance to acorns of oak trees.
The other common specimen is the gooseneck,
so named for the flexible, tube-like holdfast it
uses to attach itself to objects.

MOREHEAD CITY – The Shrimp Bycatch
Reduction Industry Work Group under the N.C.
Marine Fisheries Commission will hold a daylong workshop beginning at 10 a.m. Jan. 25 at
the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center, 203
S. Front St, New Bern. This is the second workshop of this stakeholder group, which was established under the most
recent amendment to the N.C. Shrimp Fishery
Management Plan to help the N.C. Division of
Marine Fisheries test new methods of reducing
unwanted finfish bycatch in shrimp trawls. At this workshop, the work group will learn
about 2015 testing of bycatch reduction gear
technologies; prioritize new gears or broad technological solutions for field testing; and recommend what percentage of shrimp loss is acceptable with new bycatch reduction devices. The meeting is open to the public. The agenda includes a working lunch.
Members of the public should bring their own
meals if they wish to eat during this time. For more information, contact Kevin Brown,
gear development biologist with the N.C.
Division of Marine Fisheries, at 252-808-8089 or

• Reporting requirements designed to improve
data; other measures proposed for hogfish, mutton snapper, and king mackerel The South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council is soliciting public input through a
series of public hearings on proposed measures
that could affect federally permitted charter
(“6-pack”) vessels along the Atlantic coast.
For-hire vessels (charter and headboats) operating more than three miles offshore in federal
waters must have specific federal permits to
legally target dolphin and wahoo, Coastal
Migratory Pelagics (mackerel and cobia), and
snapper grouper species. The Council is considering alternatives that would require electronic
reporting for charter vessels with those federal
permits, ranging from weekly reporting to daily
reporting, through development of the Atlantic
Generic Charterboat/Headboat Reporting
Amendment.
Improved data reporting could reduce the
likelihood that annual catch limits are exceeded
and accountability measures are triggered.
Accountability measures may include in-season
closures, shorter fishing seasons the following
year, reduced bag limits, and other measures to
reduce harvest. The harvest from charter vessels and headboats contributes to recreational
landings that count towards the recreational
annual catch limits and quotas. Charter vessel
landings and discards are currently monitored
with NOAA Fisheries’ Marine Recreational
Information Program using a voluntary dockside intercept survey. Fishing effort is calculated based on a monthly phone sample (10%)
of federally permitted charter vessels in the
Council’s jurisdiction.
Weekly electronic reports have been required
for headboats holding these permits since
January 2013. The amendment would also
slightly modify the weekly headboat reporting
requirements to reduce reporting lag-time and
align the due dates with commercial reporting.
See details below for hearing schedules and
how to submit comments.
• Other Proposed Measures Open for Comment
Snapper Grouper Amendment 37: Hogfish
Following a recent stock assessment for
hogfish, the Council is proposing measures for
hogfish that include designating two stocks in
the South Atlantic and the following measures
to rebuild the “Florida Keys/East Florida”
stock: increase the minimum size limit; establish a commercial trip limit; reduce the bag
limit; and establish a recreational season.
Coastal Migratory Pelagic Amendment 26:
King Mackerel
The amendment includes management
actions for Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic migratory group king mackerel, including: boundary
modifications; revisions to annual catch limits,
an incidental catch allowance for the shark gill
net fishery; split seasons, and other measures.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council will also hold public hearings in
February. For additional information, visit
www.gulfcouncil.org.
Snapper Grouper Amendment 41: Mutton
Snapper (Scoping)
The Council is considering options affecting the recreational fishery for mutton snapper
following a recent stock assessment. Options
include: modifying the current bag limit of 10
fish per person/day with further reductions during the spawning season.
Note: The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) is holding
a series of public workshops to gather input
on the management of mutton snapper in state
waters. Workshops will be held in conjunction
with selected public hearing/scoping meetings
in Florida (see schedule below). Learn more at:
http://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/rulemaking/
workshops/.
Acorn barnacles make a very strong adhesive which they use to
attach to floating debris. Many barnacles were attached to the
rash of cold-stunned turtles that washed up on beaches recently. The panted numbers on the turtles are for identification. If
they wash up on other beaches that have microchip capabilities
they will be tagged so they can continue to be tracked.

Beat The Winter Blues
What To Do, What To Do . . .
Just How Blue Are You?
Many people tend to feel a little blue during the bleak winter
months. There’s something about those grey overcast skies and
dreary, drizzling rain that makes a lot of people feel down.
But there may be something a little deeper than just those
dark storm clouds making you feel down. The reduction in sunlight can change the level of serotonin produced in your brain.
The drop in serotonin levels can cause some people to experience symptoms of winter depression, or Seasonal Affective
Disorder (SAD).
Take this quick Seasonal Affective Disorder quiz to see if you
have the winter blues or not:
1: Do your symptoms begin during late autumn or early winter?
Score: No = 0 Sometimes = 1 Yes = 2
2: Do you feel sad or down during dreary winter days?
3: Do you lose the sense of enjoyment for things you normally
enjoy?
4: Do you often feel more fatigued throughout the day in winter
than during other times of the year?
5: Do you have sudden cravings for high-carbohydrate foods?
(e.g. potato chips, cookies etc)
6: Do you have trouble falling to sleep or staying asleep at night?
7: Have you had any significant weight gain since your symptoms began?
8: Do you feel as though you want to be left alone, with a
reduced desire to socialize with friends and family?
9: Do your thoughts and decisions feel as sluggish as your body
movements?
10: Do you wake up feeling as though you never have enough
energy throughout the day?
Days when it is very cold outside can sometimes seem unexciting, making you feel depressed. You cannot change the weather; however you can find activities to do that will help dispel the
gloominess. Here are 50 things to do when its cold outside.
1. Redecorate your room or home. New curtains or a fresh
paint coat can dramatically alter a room and give you a new outlook. 2. Do online shopping. This is an extremely easy way to buy
the thing you need without having to wear a coat, boots, scarf,
hat, and gloves and your items will be delivered to your doorstep. 3. Cuddle. If you have no need to go outside, you can cuddle
with a loved one, a friend, or a pet. If you cannot find a partner,
you can cuddle with yourself. 4. Clean out your drawers and closets. While doing this, watch
out for creatures such as spiders to avoid getting bitten. 5. Write a book. Your life has been quite eventful so why not
pen it down for members of your household to enjoy. 6. Read an interesting book to your child or children. This is a
good way to spend quality time with your kids. 7. Start a home work out program. You will find several do-ityourself motivation and exercise programs on the internet. 8. Watch a movie. Pick something interesting and watch it
curled up under a blanket. 9. Learn a foreign language. There are several websites on the
internet that can help you learn a foreign language. 10. Finish a craft undertaking. If you have been working on a
craft project for some time now, this is a good time to complete
it. 11. Make a fire inside
your home. If you possess a fire place, build a
fire to warm and relax
yourself. 12. Take a nap. One
great thing you can do
when it is really cold
outside is to wrap yourself within a blanket
and take a pleasant nap. 13. Play family
games. You probably have several board games lying around
your house. Pull one or two out and have fun with your family. 14. View old family pictures. View pictures of your children,
nephews, and nieces or pictures of your parents when they were
growing up. 15. Drink hot chocolate. A warm treat is what you need on
very cold day, and hot chocolate is just what you need. Try
Cadbury and Nestle brands. 16. Have a hearty breakfast. If you are a breakfast person, eat
a good breakfast that will keep you warm, after all it is freezing
cold outside. 17. Play monopoly or scrabble with your partner or kids. It is
a great way to kill time. 18. Batch cooking. Cooking is a tedious task, so why not get it
done on a cold Saturday or Sunday. 19. Start a crochet or knitting project. 20. Do the laundry. If you live with other people, there is
always laundry that requires tending to. 21. Clean out your wallet/purse. There are probably lots of
receipts and crap that have accumulated in your purse. 22. Return phone calls. Catch up on your friends. It is another
great way to pass time. 23. Rearrange your furniture. If you are bored with the way
your room is arranged, play with the arrangement to make it a
bit more inviting. 24. Bring the plants into the house. This one thing you can
easily forget. Plants, like humans, do not enjoy very cold weather. 25. Start a blog. This is a great way to share your opinions and
thoughts with the online community. 26. Learn how to sew or knit if you do not already know how. 27. Add yourself to some new websites. 28. Make popcorn for the whole family 29. Listen to music. Chilling out and listening to music is a
great way to relax. 30. Read a book. Reading keeps your mind healthy and young
so grab an interesting book and read it. 31. Pamper yourself with a pleasant home bath spa. If you are
home alone, or if you can get some privacy, pamper yourself
with a nice home bath spa. 32. Make an ideal holiday present list for yourself. When you
view all the items want written down on your laptop screen, you
will be able to identify which one you need the most. Once you
identity this perfect gift, get it for yourself. 33. Make a romantic meal with your wife or husband. Making
a romantic dinner is a great way to spend a cold night with your
loved one. 34. Enhance your dancing skills. When learning the latest
amazing dancing moves, either with your friends or by yourself
you will most likely have lots of fun. 35. Visit the library in your locality and take a look at books
that talk about winter themes. 36. Use boxes or sheets to construct a fort within your house. 37. Take a nature walk, and search for animal footprints 38. Go scavenger hunting with your dog. 39. Play hide and seek with your children. 40. Kitchen fun with children. When it is really cold outside,
you can spend the day with your kids in the kitchen. 41. Tell jokes. This can be done with kids. You can tell knockknock jokes, elephant jokes, or simply entertain one another by
coming up with riddles and deducing the answers. 42. Bird watching. Find out the names of birds within your
locality. Get an encyclopedia or bird guide and look up facts
regarding these birds. 43. Ask your friends to come over and play exciting games
with them. 44. If you have some paper work to catch up on, this is a great
time to do it. 45. Organize a dance party for your family. If your kids cannot go outside because of cold weather, dancing is a great way
for them to liberate the energy they cannot release outside.
And, if it happens to snow . . .
46. Go sledding with your kids or with your partner. 47. Throw snowballs at a lean tree. This will help you practice
your aim. 48. Make snow angels.
49. Have a snowball contest to find out who can roll the biggest snowball.
50. Take lots of photographs.
Work Out Your Score
0 – 8: If you scored between 0 and 8, chances are you don’t
have Seasonal Affective Disorder.
8 – 14: If your score is somewhere between 8 and 15, you
may be experiencing mild SAD symptoms. There are several
different treatments available that may help to alleviate your
symptoms.
14 – 20: If your score is in the higher ranges, you might be
experiencing symptoms of winter depression, or SAD. It’s important to discuss your symptoms with your doctor or medical professional to determine the correct treatment plan for you.
Don’t Let Winter Get You Down - Get Busy!
As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, even the best
of us can get a little down. The “winter blues” are characterized
by the mild depression, lack of motivation, and low energy that
many people experience during this cold season. Luckily, there’s
a lot you can do to both prevent the blues from coming on and
get yourself back to normal if they’re already here.
1. Exercise
As if we needed
another reason to get
fit! Exercise isn’t only
for maintaining your
weight and staying
healthy. It’s great for
relieving the stresses
of life. Plus, the effects
of a good workout
can last for several
hours after you hit the
showers. You’ll have more energy throughout the day, and your
metabolism with stay elevated too. Exercise also helps your
mind by releasing those “feel good chemicals” that improve
your mood. 2. Eat a Healthy Diet
What and when you eat has a great affect on your mood and
energy. Avoid refined and processed foods (like white breads,
rice, and sugar). These foods are not only devoid of the nutrients your body craves, but they zap your energy levels and can
affect your mood—causing depression, lack of concentration,
and mood swings. Try to incorporate more complex carbohydrates (whole wheat breads, brown rice, veggies, fruit) and get
your daily 8
cups of water.
These healthy
foods provide
your body (and
mind) with
nutrients, and
stabilize your
blood sugar
and your energy levels. 3. Get Some Sun
Most people know that sunlight provides us with Vitamin D.
But did you know that it also improves your mood? Winter days
are shorter and darker than other months, and because of the
cold weather, a lot of people spend less and less time outdoors.
Lack of sunlight can cause many people to become depressed—
without knowing why! Similar to exercise, sunlight exposure
releases neurotransmitters in the brain that affect mood. Try to
spend a little more time outdoors. Keep your shades up during
the day to let more light in. Sit near windows in restaurants and
during class. Try changing the light bulbs in your house to “full
spectrum” bulbs. These mimic
natural light and actually have
the same affects on your mind
as the real thing. 4. Act on your Resolutions
A recent study from the
CDC showed a strong link
between healthy behaviors and
depression. Women who exhibited healthy behaviors (like
exercising, not smoking, etc.)
had less sad and depressed
days than those whose behaviors were less than healthy.
Although researchers studied
women, the results are likely
similar in men. 5. Avoid Binge Drinking
Staying in with a cold beer or a nice glass of wine may seem
like the only thing to do in the winter months, and many people
who feel down also tend to turn to alcohol when they’re feeling down. But alcohol is actually a depressant, and rather than
improving your mood, it only makes it worse. Avoiding alcohol
when you are already depressed is a good idea. Moderate drinking is fine for most people, but binge drinking (defined as having 5 or more drinks in one sitting) is never a healthy choice.
The morning after will have you feeling sick, depressed, and
even more tired, which will affect many aspects of your life.
This will make your low energy and bad mood even worse. 6. Treat Yourself
Having something to look forward to can keep anyone motivated. Winter seems endless! But if you plan something exciting, your mood improves
when you’re anticipating it
and when the event actually comes. Plan something
that’s exciting to you—a
weekend trip, a day at the
spa, a party (but keep #5
above in mind), or special
event like a play, girls (or
guys) night out, or sporting event. 7. Relax!
You’re busy! Work, class, family, friends, appointments, meetings—even if you enjoy being busy, everyone needs some time
off. Don’t be afraid to say “No” to extra opportunities (covering
a shift for a co-worker, bringing food to your son’s class party).
Try to spend a few minutes each day doing nothing! Read a
book or magazine, sleep in on the weekend, go to bed early, try
some meditations, or take a yoga class. Relaxation, especially in
the form of yoga, can alleviate stress and leave you with a calm
energy. Mental exercises like meditation and positive thinking
can help keep depression at bay. 8. Embrace the Season
Instead of always avoiding the cold and the snow—look
for the best that it has to offer! Take up a winter sport like ice
skating, snowboarding, hockey, or even sledding! Enjoy these
opportunities while they last—after all, they’re only here a few
months per year. Staying active will boost your energy. Seeing
winter in a positive light, with all the fun activities that it has to
offer, will keep your spirits high. 9. Get Social Support
Don’t underestimate the
power of friends, family,
mentors, co-workers, and
neighbors. Who can you turn
to when you’re down and
need a pick-me-up? Keep a
mental list of these special
people and don’t be afraid
to ask for help or encouragement when you need it.
Something as simple as a phone call, a chat over coffee, or a
nice email or letter can brighten your mood. 10. Catch some Zzzz’s
People naturally want to sleep a little bit more during the winter. But with all we have going on, sometimes sleep is the first
thing to go. With a little time management, and some self-discipline, you can meet your shut-eye needs. Aim for 7-8 hours each
night, and try to keep your bedtime and waking time consistent.
That way, your sleeping patterns can normalize and you’ll have
more energy. Try not to oversleep—those 12-hour snoozes on
the weekend can actually make you MORE tired. Don’t forget
naps! A short (10-30 minute) afternoon nap may be all you need
to re-energize midday.

“The Penny War”
In many cases families are not able to afford to exchange gifts
on Christmas. In the spirit of giving, our Junior Beta Club at
Pamlico County Middle School decided to do something about it.
Our solution was to have a school fundraiser - raising money to
sponsor a family for Christmas. This fundraiser wasn't your typical
fundraiser, it was a "Penny War".
The Penny War is a unique, fun, competitive way to raise
money. In the war, each home room received an empty bucket
so the students in that class could put pennies and dollar bills into
their buckets. All money collected was counted as points, each
cent representing one point. For example one penny equals one
point, a dollar one-hundred points, etc. The competitive aspect
of the war would come into play by silver coins, such as nickels,
dimes and quarters counting as negative points. This tactic was
used to sabotage the other classes. The school had the first week
of December to fight their battle. At the end of the week the winners would be announced.
As the week progressed the competition heated up. Some students brought money in by the handfuls, and some brought money
in by the bagfuls. The size of the contribution did not matter it was

Pamlico County Middle School
now has a 6th grade science club!
The Coastal Inquirer Club is led by
Ms. Maureen Prendergast, math and
science teacher at PCMS, and Dr.
Pat Curley, director of the NCSU
Center for Marine Science and
Technology (CMAST). The club
is funded through a generous grant
from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.
The group meets weekly and
allows students to participate in science competitions and engage in

regular occurrence during
the war.
On that Friday the
buckets were collected
and brought to State
Employee's Credit Union,
where all the coins were
counted by a Coinstar
machine. There were

as a whole raised over $1400 and sponsored five families so they
could have a good Christmas. This would not have been possible
without the Junior Beta Club and the Child & Family Support
Team at PCMS. This competition was a creative, fun way to give

Music!
The PCMS band held its annual Holiday Concert on December 14. The band
did a great job and the concert was well attended. Eight of the middle school
band students also participated in the Bayboro and Oriental Christmas parades.

Customers!
Pamlico County Middle School has been given the
opportunity to house two student interns. Both attend East
Carolina University and are looking forward to graduating
with their Bachelor degrees this spring.
Satoria Bautista is a Pamlico County native. She is
currently pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science in Middle
Grade education with a Licensure in Math and Science.
Her future plans are to graduate from college and hopefully work for the Pamlico County School System. Her
favorite quote is by Michelle Obama, “Success isn’t about
how much money you make; it’s about the difference you
make in people’s lives.”
Jessica Fuller is a Pollocksville native also attending East Carolina University in pursuit of her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work. Jessica is looking forward to what the
future holds she believes the sky’s the limit, but in the meantime she will focus on becoming an educational counselor
in the near future after graduation. She leaves us with this quote from Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also”.
Ladies we wish you all the best of luck and we are so happy to have you at PCMS!
