It can literally mean the difference between remaining in their own homes and needing to relocate to a nursing facility. The nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks help them cope with three of the biggest threats of aging: hunger, isolation and loss of independence. According to Pamlico County Senior Services Nutrition Director Beth Hardison, each meal cost $6.27 - approximately $132 per month. Seniors aren’t asked to pay this full amount, but donations are welcomed and meals continue even if they can’t pay. Currently an average of 30 congregate meals are served per day as well as 52 home delivered meals. These services help even the most independent among us and can go a long way to maintaining our independence and quality of our lives. Great advances in medicine have extended our average life expectancy to a record high of 78.7 years. Living longer means more years spent in the struggles that accompany old age. Add to that the increase in geographic mobility of our families and the result is millions of seniors left behind, hungry and alone. Headlines continue to alert us to the impact of the aging of America. The “silver tsunami” or “age wave” is already here as over 10,000 Baby Boomers reach the age of 65 every single day. One quarter of today’s 65-year-olds will live past the age of 90 and will experience many of their daily chores turning into insurmountable everyday challenges. These seniors already represent the fastest growing population segment in the U.S. and as well as closer to home in Pamlico County. Meals on Wheels has been guided by a single goal since the first known U.S. delivery in 1954. What started as a compassionate idea has grown into one of the largest and most effective social movements in America, currently helping nearly 2.4 million seniors annually in virtually every community in the country, including Pamlico County. Can you help bridge the budget gap to keep the Meals on Wheels program in Pamlico County fully-funded and healthy? If so, please send your contributions earmarked to provide meals for our local seniors to Pamlico County Senior Services, P.O. Box 184, Alliance, NC 28509 or stop by the center at 800 Main St., Alliance. For more information, call Beth Hardison at 745-7196. PCC Student Advocates for MS in D.C.

Music and Memories: 70th Anniversary of the Old Theater Part Five of a series celebrating 70 years of Oriental’s Old Theater by Carol Small To my readers, you will remember that Janet Stobie was one of the principal originators of putting together plays that preceded the purchase of the building we now call Old Theater. She lives in Dacula, Georgia now, but she very much wants to be a part of our celebration May 13 and 14. I have talked to her on the phone and she has sent me this article. Enjoy reading. Carol Small A bit of Pelican History… In the early years we Pelicans took our shows on the road. We performed at such places as Fairfield Harbour, Cherry Point and the Fred Anderson School Elementary for children’s shows. In those days, the theater was not available to us…not even for storage. All our gear was stowed around town in various sheds and garages. When we had a show to set, things often resembled a “Chinese Fire Drill” as furniture, flats and props were piled onto several trucks owned by the “backstage” Pelicans. One fine day, as several of the fellows were returning from a trip to Fairfield Harbour where we were producing a show, they spotted a big yellow school bus parked on the side of Route 55 with a “For Sale” sign on it. All together they came up with the same “brilliant” idea…”let’s buy it to haul and store all the show stuff”. After some ritual tire kicking and haggling, the deal was set with an agreed price of $1,000 (just about the entire treasury at the time). And so the Pelican Players became the proud owners of the “big yellow “binga-de-bangy” as she was affectionately called. After all the seats were removed, it was filled with an unbelievable amount of theater gear. So it was that ”binga-de-bangy” became a full fledged Pelican. It stood at the ready in front of the Stobie house for several seasons. Later, permission was granted by the town to park the old girl by the water tower. Several of the men applied for special licenses to drive the rig to and from performances. Since we were never able to remove the speed governor, “binga-de-bangy” bumped along at no more than 35 mph. It was a happy, hectic time, and it was a better than even bet that if something was needed out of that cavern of props, puppet gear, and flats, it would be found under a mountain of “stuff”. There was talk of painting “binga-de-bangy”… maybe even painting “passengers” in the windows…that would have been a cute touch, but we Pamlico Community Health Center of Greene County Health Care Inc. • Kevin Milan Tyndall, 56, of Vandemere Got News?

For starters, the Sun, retrograde Mercury and Venus are all in Taurus. And these planets are playing off lucky, moneybags Jupiter in Virgo, which is also an Earth sign - like you. And they are also playing off Pluto, which is in Capricorn, which is also an Earth sign like you. This is extremely copacetic! All these planets support and encourage each other. This is why you will enjoy opportunities to travel for pleasure, and have vacations, along with saucy flirtations. The entertainment world, show business and the hospitality industry will flourish. You will also enjoy playful activities with children. It’s a fun week! Admittedly, Mars creates disputes about shared property; but it also amps your sex drive! Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Remember to get more sleep this week because you still need it (more than any other time in the year). Aside from this, however, relations with close friends and partners have never been better! Many of you are in love; or you feel strong affection for someone close to you. This is a great week to travel with someone or to enjoy a vacation with them. It’s equally great for financial opportunities with professional partners. Something will happen this week that stirs your passion and makes you will love someone strongly. The intensity of this relationship overwhelms you, and you feel it on a daily basis. Perhaps this person embodies something you yourself want to be or express? Continue to work hard to earn money because you’re spending it! Gemini (May 21-June 20) So much is going on behind the scenes! In other words, it doesn’t look like your life is busy, which means from the point of view of others, nothing is happening - but yes, you know that you are busy! (“What fools these mortals be!”) Admittedly, fiery Mars is still opposite your sign stirring up difficulties with partners and close friends. They are so exasperating! They constantly test your patience. Nevertheless, look for ways to improve your situation through real estate or anything to do with home and family. Inheritances, shared property and insurance issues will favour you now. You will also enjoy entertaining at home and having the gang over for good food and drink. (“What foods these morsels be!”) Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This is a great week for you! You are pumped to work hard, and because of this you will get along well with coworkers and authority figures. In fact, some of you might get a raise or praise. If you tackle old business, you will be surprised at how quickly you can finish things. In part, this is because fiery Mars is in your sign juicing your energy and giving you direction and focus. Actually, physical exercise will be important now to siphon off some of this pentup energy. Bike, jog, hike, row, ride horseback, whatever. Things are so smooth at work, some of you might begin a work-related romance. You also want to help a family member with whom you feel sympathetic. Whatever you do will promote your good name. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Prepare for a popular week! Yes, you are loved; just like your fellow Cancer Travis Fimmel (whose billboard photo had to be taken down in London because it caused accidents). “Ragnar!” You will enjoy schmoozing with everyone; and many of your friends this week will be creative and artistic; and some will be younger than you, especially faces from the past. Oh yes, faces from the past are de rigueur in Mercury retrograde. One reason that others are attracted to you is because of your positive frame of mind right now. You feel like a winner! And nothing succeeds like success. And nothing is as sexy as success! Nevertheless, midst all this fun and pleasure - you are still working hard. Go figure. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) This week is one of the best times for your sign to be on vacation - hands down. If you can’t get outta Dodge, then try to be on vacation every day where you live. Get up early and do things. Take a long lunch. After work, be a tourist in your own city. Do something special and different on the weekend. Parties, romance, love affairs, sports events, musical performances and playful times with children are tops on your agenda. This is also a good time for financial speculation. Whatever you do regarding the entertainment world, sports and the arts might ultimately transform your appearance or change your image for the better. You are looking so good! (Buy something classy that boosts your ego.) Wednesday, May 11 • Oriental Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee at 8am Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) So much is going on at home and within your family dynamic right now. Relatives and people from the past are back in your world. Perhaps because of this, you are redecorating and making your digs look more attractive. You are also tackling repairs you have been intending to get to. (Better late than never.) Incidentally, this is a good time to explore realestate possibilities, especially something that interested you before. Gatherings at your home, including family reunions will be positive and joyful. These exchanges will be powerful but they will also be loving and will have your best interests at heart. Continue to interact with friends and groups, especially if competition is in the game because you are keen! Tuesday, May 17 • Pamlico County Chamber of Commerce Board Meeting at 7:30am at the Heritage Museum. • Oriental Tourism Board meets at Oriental Town hall at 5:30pm • Bayboro Town Hall Meeting - 208 North Street, Bayboro, 7pm Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Your daily pace continues to be busy because you have lots to do. In addition to this, short trips are taking up time and effort as well. Plus many of you are reading, writing and studying more than usual. But you will enjoy hanging out with others because it feels good! These little exchanges will make you realize just how much love there is in your daily world. You will also appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings. Discussions with others might be profound and intense but that’s okay. Your relationships are not casual now because they are a major influence in your world. In fact, this is one of the best years in over a decade for you to marry. What attracts people to you now is your optimism and belief in a better future. • Grief Support Group meets every Monday at 10am at Oriental Methodist Church (Round Table Room) Call 249-2493 for more information • Arthritis Class at Senior Center at 1pm • Dementia Support Group meets at Senior Center from 2-3:30pm Saturday, May 14 • Oriental Farmer’s Market on Hodges St. from 8-11am Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) For different reasons, according to the details of your life, you feel richer this week. This could be because of an inheritance, or gifts and goodies that come your way. It might be because you get an advantageous position in a deal or arrangement with someone. Someone might let you use something that they own, which pleases you. Whatever the case, you will feel blessed and fortunate! Incidentally, this is a great week to ask for a loan or mortgage, especially if you have applied in the past. You’ll have no trouble going after what you want because Mars makes you aggressive, succinct and proactive. Basically, if you want something - accept this and go after it because you will likely get it! Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Continue to look for ways to expand your horizons through travel and further education because you want adventure and a chance to learn something new. You want to break free of dull routine and the same old, same old. You want life to be sizzling! Ironically, this is exactly what’s going to happen this week, quite likely, through a vacation trip. Or it might be a chunk of money that comes your way that makes you smile. You will reap the rewards of past activities - count on it. Meanwhile, you might also meet someone who will be helpful to you later. “Can I be of service?” Love affairs will be passionate and romantic - just the way you like them. with special needs. Contact Crystal Garrett at 670-0391 or Lisa Barrow, LPC, 670-6103 for info. Friday, May 13 • Fantastic Friday at Senior Center • Oriental Quilting Bee, 9am., 403 Mildred Street. No experience needed. • Preschool story time at PC library at 10am • Bingo at 10am at Senior Center • Card Games at Senior Center at 1pm • Young at Heart Crafts at Senior Center at 2pm • Family Movie at 6pm at PC Library Aries (March 21-April 19) This is a money week for you. Ka-ching! Trust your ability to dream up brilliant, moneymaking ideas. More than that - you can boost your earnings. (We like!) And when it comes to financial matters, you can make new impressions on important people. In other words, you can put a new spin on how they perceive you. (“Do you really know how great I am?”) In addition, some of you will have fabulous opportunities to improve your job or get a better paying job. If so, hearken back to contacts you had previously, or even places where you worked previously because these will hold your most likely opportunities. You still have the travel bug. “Land ho!” For some, work-related travel will be thrilling. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) This is an amazing time for you because the Sun, Venus and retrograde Mercury are all at high noon in your chart. You are so high viz.! You are also admired, especially by authority figures and people in power. This also means that authority figures from your past are back in your life again; and you might even develop a crush or a romantic connection with one of them. This week your connection with a boss or a VIP could lead to increased earnings for you. It might even lead to a complete change of jobs or a revamping of your job or looking at your job through new eyes. You can do something new and fresh to earn money and boost your reputation. Fiery Mars will guarantee fun, pleasure and party hopping. Enjoy! Thursday, May 19 • Prayer Shawl Ministry, Oriental United Methodist Church, 10–11:30am. For all levels of knitting and crocheting.

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? I’m Cadbury a shy and bouncy 10 month old Chocolate Lab- Pointer mix. As my name insinuates I’m truly sweet as candy and do so want to please. You’ll find I warm up very quickly and we could be BFF with many happy years together. At 10 months old there is still a lot of puppy play time left for us to share. Good with cats and other dogs I’m just one easy going guy. I’ll be graduating from Pamlico’s NLOL program on July 13th and it would be super special if you could come to my graduation. I’ll be waiting patiently. Wilbur is my name and I’m a super special nice guy that would love nothing better than to come home with you and be your BFF. I’m a handsome Bloodhound-Golden Retriever mix that has gotten the best of both worlds in that I’m medium energy and smart too. I would particularly love to lie at your feet in the evenings while you watch TV, read, or work on your computer. At 2 years old we still have a lot of wonderful adventures together. I’ll be graduating from Pamlico’s NLOL program on July 13th and my adopting family will be able to attend. All NLOL dogs have been altered, heartworm tested, fully vetted, UTD on vaccines, house broken, and crate trained. With 8 weeks of agility and obedience All New Leash on Life graduates have been training NLOL dogs make great companions. If you’re interested in adopting a NLOL dog contact Jackie Schmidt at 649-5504 or Penny Monell at 249-1453.

Eventually, the theater was made available for storage and the decision was made to sell our lovely “big yellow “binga-de-bangy”. Stu Ackerman cinched the deal with a local contractor who would use it as a portable tool shed, so it continued to live a very useful life. What was the deal? You may have already guessed…$1,000, and SOLD! In addition to the above letter from Janet over the phone Janet told me: Her husband Jim Stobie was also instrumental in Pelican Players. Janet recounted how the engraved bricks in the sidewalk were started. Also the seats in the theater were given to individuals at $200 and these plaques can still be seen on the tops of the seats in the theater. Janet would also like us to remember how hard Mary Clyde Dunn worked for the theater through every production. Janet still calls Oriental her home even though she has lived in Georgia 16 years now. You will remember that Clem Pfaff had the original idea about what if we had a building to use! Here is Clem’s Interview: Mike Bivona was instrumental in starting the Pelican Players, and he tried to get the Smiths to “give” them the theater, which didn’t work out. Clem wants all to know that it was the Pelican Players who were originally instrumental in making the Old Theater come back to life, after he got some folks in town interested in obtaining it for Pelican Players. They took a long term for 20 years originally and raised money to refurbish the Theater. Clem relates that he was in the very first play the Pelican Players put on. (In it was a Bag Lady and you will remember Ben Gaskill had a Hobo and a Bag Lady in his most recent play as the central figures. Jim Stobie appeared as an off stage voice as the Ghost of the Old Theater and howled that he was being invaded by Pelican Players. It was held across from the harbor upstairs of the Treasure Company. They used the Old Theater for Rehearsals. He said it had leaked a little bit but that they had cleaned it out so they could use it. He told about Hubert and Tom Smith owning the building.

Free and Open to the Public . with 20 people coming to the Village Health Club. Clem recalls the Old Theater Corporation leased the building from the Smiths until they got a mortgage to purchase it. There was a “game dinner” and the game was supplied by Allen Propst. Angie Propst had the first yard sale for the Old Theater and raised $1600. They received a grant from the State and also raised over $100,000. They had volunteers working everywhere on bringing the Theater back. Volunteers worked on the seats, there was a retired contractor who was a marine aviator and was the manager for rebuilding. Other volunteers came from work as engineers, architect and more. Clem drew the plans and the architect OK’d them. They rebuilt the stage, changed the balcony for technical, and added onto the back of the theater for a Green Room. They added the handicap entrance ramp and were lucky that the handicap law stated that the grade be 12:1 and the aisle was 12:1 already. Mr. Hollowell the elder was the attorney for the Pelican Players. Clem and Mr. Hollowell played golf together and a deal was made with no money changing hands for him to handle any legal things that might come up like renegotiating the contract with the Smiths. An anonymous donor gave $5000 and Clem suspects that Mr. Hollowell was the donor. Clem was a CPA in his working life. Clem’s words, “If you can’t entertain yourself, don’t come to Oriental.” But let us entertain you a bit with our schedule at the current www.oldtheater.com.

No? At first I didn’t either. Shkreli is the former pharmaMaureen Donald The Editor’s Desk ceutical CEO famous for hiking up the price of a life-saving drug (Daraprim) for cancer and AIDS patients by 5,500 percent. The price went from $13.50 a pill to $750. No kidding. Now you remember - right? Anyway, Shkreli defended his price hike as a necessary move to maintain profits and to many he became the smirking face of Wall Street greed. Hillary Clinton accused him of “price gouging, pure and simple” and Donald Trump called him a “spoiled brat.” Wow, they agree on one thing. You might have seen the television clips when he was called in to testify before Congress where he pleaded the Fifth as he rolled his eyes at questions from Congressmen, whom he later denounced on Twitter as “imbeciles.” His attorney called that “a regrettable choice of words.” You think? Bottom line, Congress or no one else, for that matter, could do Making Sense of Investing We’re at the end of another school year. If you have younger kids, you might be thinking about summer camps and other activities. But in the not-toodistant future, your children will be facing a bigger transition as they head off to college. Will you be financially prepared for that day? A college education is a good investment – college graduates earn, on average, $1 million more over their lifetimes than high school graduates, according to a study by Georgetown University – but a bachelor’s degree doesn’t come cheap. For the 2015–2016 school year, the average expense – tuition, fees, room and board – was $19,548 at a public four-year school and $43,921 at a fouryear private school, according to the College Board. And by the time your children are ready for college, these costs may be considerably higher, because inflation is alive and well in the higher education arena. Your children may be eligible for some types of financial aid and scholarships. But even so, you may want to consider some Dan M. Roberts, IV Financial Advisor WEDNEsday, MAY 11, 2016 anything about Shkreli’s “regrettable” behavior and the case (or lack of) disappeared from the headlines. This time around he’s not on trial for hiking up the price of Daraprim, even though that’s his biggest claim to fame, so to speak. Nope - this time it’s all about fraud. Prosecutors have accused Shkreli and a co-defendant of illegally siphoning money from one of his companies to another to pay off bad market bets made by one of his companies. And for good measure, he’s accused of also lying to investors about his disastrous finances. They say Shkreli claimed to have assets that did not exist - surprise. According to court documents, Shkreli used investor funds to pay more than $7.6 million “through sham consulting agreements” to settle claims with investors from earlier failed hedge funds. Now I’ll readily admit I don’t understand the first thing about these current charges, but I’ve decided this is a classic example of payback. And at the risk of sounding like a hypocrite for siding with what I suspect is a government-sanctioned witch hunt, I love it! Shkreli’s reaction to these latest charges is right in line with his reputation. college-savings vehicles – and one of the most popular is a 529 plan. A 529 plan offers a variety of benefits, including the following: • High contribution limits – A 529 plan won’t limit your contributions based on your income. In all likelihood, you can contribute as much as you want to a 529 plan, as many states have contribution limits of $300,000 and up. And you can give up to $14,000 ($28,000 for a married couple filing jointly) per year, per child, without incurring any gift taxes. • Tax advantages – Your earnings can accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax, and a 10% IRS penalty on the earnings.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be eligible for a state tax deduction or credit if you participate in your own state’s plan. But 529 plans vary, so check with your tax advisor regarding deductibility. • Freedom to invest in any state’s plan. – You can invest in a 529 plan from any state – but that doesn’t mean your child has to go to school there. You could live in one state, invest in a second state’s plan, and send your student to school in a third state, if you Online Car Title Lender Banned from North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper • Borrowers hit with 257 percent APR, hidden balloon payments, quick repossession of their cars An online car title lender that charged outrageous interest rates and took consumers’ cars with little or no warning is now banned from making loans in North Carolina, Attorney General Roy Cooper said today. “Families who need a little extra money to deal with an illness or a layoff deserve a fair loan, not a rip off,” Cooper said. “North Carolina has long made illegal these expensive loans with excessive interest rates, and my office is here to enforce the law for consumers.” Cooper filed suit last week against the lender, which does business as Autoloans, Car Loan, Sovereign Lending Solutions and Title Loan America, for charging North Carolina consumers average interest rates of 257 percent on loans of $1,000 to $2,500. Title loans are small dollar loans secured by consumers’ car titles. State law caps interest rates on such loans at 30 percent for licensed lenders and at 16 percent for unlicensed lenders, such as the defendants. Under an order signed by Wake County Superior Court Judge Donald W. Stephens, while the lawsuit is underway the company and its owners are barred from: making or collecting on loans in North Carolina; repossessing, selling or placing liens on any car owned by a North Carolina consumer; destroying records; and spending or transferring any money. Cooper is seeking a permanent ban on the defendants’ illegal lending business, cancellation of previous loans and liens, and refunds for North Carolina consumers. According to the Attorney General’s investigation, the title lender has operated since 2012 under various names and appears Croc-a-Gators in the Legislature Letters to the Editor So much written about HB2, but here’s the real issue. There are some “Croc-a-Gators” in the NC Legislature with both mendacity and a bathroom fetish. This can be seen based on an early joke my Dad told me about three little boys around a campfire down at Kennel’s Beach trying to scare each other by postulating the “meanest animal in the world”. First little boy, “The meanest animal in the world is a lion, ‘cause he creeps behind the bushes leaping to “chomp you in two” (while truncating unemployment benefits)”. Second little boy, “No, meanest animal in the world is an alligator, ‘cause he swims up and chomps you in two (while suppressing voting rights)”. Third little boy, “Both wrong! meanest animal in the world is a croca-gator! What’s that? A croc-a-gator has a head at one end that sneaks up and chomps you (removing discrimination protections and State legal rights); and a head at his other end that chomps you (removing local controls on minimum wage). Gets you coming and going!” “Wait a minute! If some of these Legislative croc-a-gators have a head at both ends, which bathroom do they use?” - Oh, none, that’s what makes HB2 so mean ! Robert P.

As alleged in the complaint filed with the court, at least 700 North Carolina consumers took out title loans from the defendants. In addition to charging sky-high annual interest rates of 161 percent to 575 percent, most of the loans included payments on interest only for the first 11 months and a final balloon payment larger than the original loan amount. This came as a shock to many borrowers because the lender often misstated interest rates, withheld details of the loan, and failed to give consumers a copy of their written loan agreement. The lawsuit contends that when consumers couldn’t make the onerous payments, the defendants repossessed their cars illegally. The lender sent borrowers a GPS tracker to install on their cars and placed a lien on their car titles. If a consumer paid late or missed a payment, the defendants used the GPS tracker to find and repossess the consumer’s car. Consumer affidavits filed with the lawsuit show the impact of the illegal lending scheme: A Greensboro couple took out a loan from Title Loan America to help with medical expenses. They paid nearly $3,400 on a $2,000 loan but were told they owed an additional balloon payment of $1,700—which they hadn’t known because they never received a copy of the loan agreement. When the couple couldn’t make the unexpected payment, the defendants repossessed their car while they were taking their daughter to school and sold the car at auction. A Garner man borrowed $1,250 from the defendants after his in-laws became ill and needed to move in with him. He paid more than $4,000 on the loan but was told he owed nearly $4,500 more. He asked for an extension because he didn’t want to lose his car, but the defendants still towed it and sold it. Needs Help with Book I am in the process of beginning to write my second book. I am asking for the public’s help. With all the media attention on drug use, that is what I chose to focus my attention on. I am asking your readers help with this matter. I want to write about the users, whether it be drug or alcohol use. I also want to focus on the victims, so I encourage members of MADD to contact me also. So often we hear stories about people “busted.” I would like to share stores of how people came to abuse drugs and/or alcohol, and how (if so) a user has changed their lives. I do not want last names, only true stories. To make it interesting, I am also doing a “name that book” contest. With their stores, I encourage anyone who sends me a story to also think of a title. The title must be in common with the book theme. If chosen, I will award the winner a $25 WalMart gift card. Please text me your first name and address to (252) 7026803. Or you can private message me on Facebook @ Lisa Kay Flowers Santimaw so that I can mail you a form. Thank you.

Obviously he’s not stupid. “My lawyers think that the timing is really coincidental,” Shkreli said following the indictment. Of course, he took to Twitter. He has 115,000 followers on Twitter (loss for words on this one), where he tweets about this cat Trashy, (should be his name), his beloved game chess, his self-referencing rap lyrics, his market observations, Warren Buffett, Bernie Sanders and Wu Tang, (have no idea who this is) from whom he reportedly bought a gold album for $2 million. According to news reports, Shkreli doesn’t seem worried about potentially going to prison. “I am confident I will prevail,” tweeted Shkreli when he was arrested. “The allegations against me are baseless and without merit.” By the way, as part of the agreement to defend Shkreli, his attorney has insisted he keep his mouth shut during the upcoming court proceedings. Smart. The attorney, that is. A 529 Plan Can Help with Those College Bills choose. • Money can be used for virtually any program – Upon graduating high school, not all kids are interested in, or prepared for, a traditional four-year college. But you can use your 529 plan to help pay for qualified expenses at a variety of educational institutions, including two-year community colleges and trade schools. Of course, a 529 plan does have considerations you will need to think about before opening an account. For example, your 529 plan assets can affect your child’s needs-based financial aid, but it might not doom it. As long as the 529 assets are under your control, they typically will be assessed at a maximum rate of 5.64% in determining your family’s expected contribution under the federal financial aid formula, as opposed to the usual 20% rate for assets held in the student’s name. In any case, though, a 529 plan is worth considering. But don’t wait too long – as you well know, your kids seem to grow up in the blink of an eye. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. A Burgaw family facing foreclosure on their home turned to the defendants for a $2,900 loan with what they were told was an interest rate of 18 percent and a final balloon payment of $531. Months later, after repeatedly requesting a copy of the loan agreement, they learned their loan actually came with an interest rate of 218 percent and a final payment of $3,531. When they complained, the defendants threatened that they knew where the family lived and would come take their car. The family had to move their car to keep it safe. The Attorney General’s Office has mailed letters to consumers who took out loans from the defendants to make them aware that the defendants cannot collect payments or repossess cars under the current court order. The office has also written towing companies and automobile auction houses that have previously done business with the defendants to notify them about the court’s order. A total of eight consumers have complained to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division about the defendants’ unfair loans to date. To file a consumer complaint, call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within state or use the online complaint form at ncdoj.gov. “Consumers who are desperate for quick cash may feel pressured to overlook the warning signs of a bad loan,” Cooper said. “If you need a small loan, talk to multiple lenders, get everything in writing and review it carefully before you sign.” The Pamlico News USPS 782-460 Published 51 times a year 800 Broad St., Oriental, NC 28571 (252) 249-1555 (252) 249 0857, fax www.thepamliconews.com Sandy Winfrey, Publisher Press Releases, Events, News: [email protected] Advertising: [email protected] Billing Inquiries: [email protected] Managing Editor: Maureen Donald Office Manager: Jeannine Russo Staff Reporter: Deborah Dickinson Correspondent: Sherri Hollister Production Manager: Joe Miller Graphic Artist: Josh Wilkinson Distribution: Neal McCraw Readers are invited to submit letters for publication.

Before leaving for the hospital we discovered the squirrels had chewed through two of our pipes for our shower so what a soggy “mess” we had. As I arrived home from the hospital a car drove in behind us with Cambodian friends from Texas and Durham. The last time they visited I took them to Brantleys for seafood and they thought it was the best they ever ate, so they drove down from Durham to take Weeks and me over to eat there again. Of course we could not go with them but I sent them on. James, Elizabeth,and Mattie came by from church to bring a lovely plant that was given to the mothers for Mothers’ Day. Next door neighbors Maura and MeLydia came over with the most delicious dinner. I have been asked many times if we might move back to Durham to our home there and my answer is “are you kidding me?” Never would I find the wonderful neighbors that we have here! We were saddened by the death of Tom Willis last week. A Memorial Service will be held for him at Bethel this Sunday at 3p.m. The Show Choir did a good job in their programs on Friday and Saturday nights according to Anne Watson. Thought for the week--You never get over being a child, as long as you have a mother to go to. Whortonsville TermiTes?
