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

Hurricanes Lose Close One
The Pamlico Hurricanes lost Friday’s away, nonconference game against The Central Virginia Home
School by a score of 28-20. Central Virginia was first
on the scoreboard with a rushing touchdown with
seven minutes to go in the first quarter followed by a
two point conversion. The Patriots scored again after
a Pamlico turnover late in the second quarter leaving
Virginia leading by a score of 14-0. The Canes came
back with a touchdown but missed the two point conversion for a score of 14-6 at halftime. With no scoring
action in the third quarter, Pamlico was back on the
board with a completed pass touchdown early in the
fourth and just lagging behind by two points. Once
again, the Patriots heightened their lead with another
rushing touchdown. The Hurricanes came right back
and scored this time with a successful two point conversion for a tied score of 20-20. It wasn’t enough to
win the game as Central Virginia ran in another touchdown and a successful two point conversion with under
a minute left in the game for a final score of 28-20.
Officers with the Pamlico County Sheriff’s
office received a report of an unconscious and
unresponsive individual at the intersection of
Neal’s Creek Road and NC 55 in the town of
Alliance on Wednesday afternoon. When deputies
arrived at the scene they found
an unresponsive male and it was
determined that the individual
was overdosing on Heroin. He
was transported to Carolina East
by ambulance. His condition is
unknown at this time.
The investigation led investigators to the residence of
Demario Tyair Himbry
Demario Tyair Himbry located
at 208 Neal’s Creek Road. According to authorities, Himbry was inside the residence and a
strong odor of burning marijuana was emanating
from the home. Investigators along with North
Carolina Probation and Parole secured the residence and applied for a search warrant.
During the execution of the warrant a quantity
of heroin was found on Himbry and other items
were located within the residence that was consistent with the sale of narcotics. Investigators
seized scales, baggies, and other packaging materials. A small amount of marijuana and marijuana
paraphernalia was also located.
Demario Himbry was arrested and charged with
one count of Possession With Intent To Sell and
Deliver Heroin, Felony Maintaining a Dwelling
To Sell Controlled Substances, Possession of
Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of Marijuana,

Welcome to Mindset - a weekly column featuring the opinions of your neighbors.
It’s a sad fact of life that most of us are at
least a little bit hooked on our phones.But how
bad is our addiction? It is bad enough that
there is a term to describe the fear of being
without a phone-nomophobia. In light of socalled addiction to our phones, we asked folks
around town “what is the most obnoxious
thing people do on a cell phone?”
Here is what they had to say…
Larry and Lynn
DeChesser of
Oriental feel that in
general if you are
in a restaurant or
public place where
they should not be
used then be courteous and put them
away. “Selfies are
ridiculous. If you are so vain that you need
to be constantly taking pictures of yourself
then that is obnoxious,” added Larry.
Mary Mills
drives from Wake
County to Oriental
to visit her parents,
Tom and Anne
Smith. She feels
that drivers, even
with hands-free
devices, are distracted. “I see people texting
while driving on the interstate, it’s very dangerous. There should also be cell phone-free
dining areas in restaurants,” she added.
Bernard George of
New Bern says the most
obnoxious thing he sees
people doing while on
their cell phones is crossing the street. “It’s not
only obnoxious, its dangerous,” said Bernard.

Shooting Victim Arrested on Drug Charges

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

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

“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, I’m Max and we could be bestest of
friends. I’m a 2 ½ year old chocolate lab that has
a marshmallow for a heart and is as sweet as a
Hershey bar. I have enough self confidence for
everyone and playful is my middle name. My foster
mom reports that my house manners are impeccable
and have yet to jump on her sofa. I’ll be graduating from Pamlico’s New Leash on Life program on
Sept. 9th and my family will be able to attend my
graduation. All NLOL dogs are fully vetted, altered,
heartworm tested, UTD on vaccines, and will be
ready to go home with their families. Housebroken,
crate trained and basic obedience will make me a very desirable doggie.
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 . WEDNESDAY, SPETEMBER 02, 2015

Betty is an active resident The

lovely and amazing woman.
“ When asked her secrets,

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

“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.”

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

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

Carla Ollison, a 2008 Pamlico County High School graduate,
along with her partner, Michael Gaskins Jr., have opened up a new
beauty supply store in Bayboro. Located at 13810 Highway 55 in
Alliance, Beauty Town offers a full line of beauty and hair care
supplies and accessories. Beauty Town specializes in makeup, hair
care products, hair and wigs. They carry authentic Virgin Brazilian
Hair and all the top hair brands including Model Model, Bobbi
Boss, Outre’ and Sensationnel.
At just twenty five years of age, Carla and her partner, Michael
Gaskins of Fayetteville have found much success. Their new venture in Alliance is the second Beauty Town location for the pair.
They opened their first store in 2013 next to their salon, Weave
Express, in Fayetteville as an added convenience for their salon
customers.
Ollison, a licensed professional in the beauty industry, now
resides in Fayetteville.
“I attended UNC-Chapel
Hill part time, as well
as Regency Beauty
Institute. I plan to take
a small break from the
beauty industry sometime in the near future
and go back to UNC to
finish my degree,” says
Ollison.
“I have wanted a

Michael and I were

opportunity in 2013
and we jumped on it.
We really felt that there
was a need for this in

provide the county with
what it needed,” said
Ollison. Beauty Town currently has two employees at it’s Alliance
location. Kiearra Sawyer serves as manager and Keyasia Willis
is the assistant manager. “They are both doing an amazing job,”
boasts Ollison.
Ollison knows first hand that starting your own business takes a
lot of drive and hard work. “Make sure that you have the time and
drive. Work with someone
who has done it before and
let he or she help you. This
is never easy, but it’s always
worth it,” advises Ollison.
Ollison still maintains her
ties to Pamlico County. She
is the daughter of former
Pamlico County School’s
Superintendent, Wanda
Dawson and Pamlico County
Commissioner, Carl Ollison.
When she is not busy running her salon and two beauty supply stores she enjoys
doing hair, helping other
and spending time with her
five wonderful God Babies,
Darien, Ayden, Azyaha,
Bricen and Malia.
Michael Gaskins graduated
from E Smith High School
in Fayetteville in 2000. He
is an army veteran and successful contractor. Michael is
the proud father of Amya and
according to Ollison enjoys
working very hard and helping others.
Co-owner of Beauty Town is Carla Ollison.

Paul Jones Delamar, Paul Johnson, Sr., Paul Johnson II, Paul
Johnson III, a lot of Paul Delamars with only one with a different middle name but all with different and interesting stories.
Paul Sr. owned a general merchandise and appliance store where
the Old Trawl Door Restaurant was and the building stands
today. Paul’s competitor was the Smith boys, where the Steamer
is today. The Smith story will come in a later column. Paul Sr.
would load a refrigerator on the company pick-up truck and ride
around town, passing the Smith store each time. Now this was
the same refrigerator each time. The Smiths thought how was
Paul Sr. able to sell so many refrigerators a day. That in itself was
funny and ingenious. Vivian, Paul’s wife, was an educator. She
worked 40 years as a teacher and school principal. Ned was Paul’s
brother. Ned joined the Army at 17 years of age during WWII and
became a paratrooper because it paid more. During Ned’s stint
in the army, he earned two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts and
one of the highest awards given by our nation, the Distinguished
Service Cross. After returning from the war, Ned was educated in
the musical arts. Although well educated, Ned became a practical jokester. Once he was swinging on a rope, pretending to be
Tarzan, fell and broke his leg and back. As they did back then,
placed him in a body case with only a hole for number 1 and number 2. Not much fun and plenty of leisure time. Ned taught himself how to do magic and throw his voice and apparently became
good at both. Once at a funeral, which is confirmed by Brantley
Norman, (one of the pallbearers) Ned threw his voice into the coffin of Joe Midyette, deceased of course, “Let me outa here.” The
gravedigger got scared, ran away never to dig a grave since. Paul
II, still alive, made his living as an assistant school superintendent. Now retired, he heads The Perry Griffin Foundation and The
Walker Foundation. Together these two foundations have given
out over $2,000,000 in scholarships for Pamlico County High
School kids the last 6-8 years. Thanks Paul for your leadership
in this county. Paul II has two children. Jennifer Delamar-Goss, a
UNC-Chapel Hill graduate and former school teacher who lives in
Philadelphia, is married to Terry Goss and is currently a stay-athome mom to Piper Delamar-Goss. Paul III went to law school at
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (GO HEELS) and
met his wife, Sara, also in law school but they did not meet related
to the law school. Sara, born in Lancaster, PA, another Yankee
girl and a good’n, received a golf scholarship at UNC. Did I say
GO HEELS before? Sara finished law school and clerked for the
NC Supreme Court before going into Law practice with Paul III,
with an office in Bayboro, NC. They have two children, Annie
and Tommy, which are friends of my only child Ashlie’s children,
Eili and Eva. As I have said in other articles, you cannot make this
shi_ up.
Brantley Norman, or is it Norman Brantley? Confusing huh?
And there is Brantley Jr. – Junior and friends call him Brant. I call
him Brant. Brantley Sr. is an interesting fellow. I have never seen
him do any physical labor in the 20+ years I have known him.
Though he seems to be at First Citizens making deposits every
day and trading trucks every year or so. He is so tight that Paul at
the hardware store orders Brantley a case of WD-40 each month.
Brant told me that his Dad would die pouring coffee and I said
that I hoped not and especially if he’s pouring coffee for me. I do
not want to get burned by the Juan Valdez coffee that feel off the
jackass’ back. It was scraped up and sent to Brantley. I told Brant
that he would die with his hand in the register. When you die you
cheap so-n-so, I am going to declare each Saturday free coffee
day. What do you think of that? Cheap, Cheap, Cheap.
His darling saint of a wife is Ms. Sil, matriarch of the family
With Rick2
and the best maker of pies on earth. My first meeting Brantley
and Sylvia was 1999 when I was doing sweat equity at the Bridge
House for two years. They had a very small grill across the road
that had crab pickers and a grill. For two years I ate breakfast,
lunch and supper there, eating a big slice of coconut pie, with
lunch and supper for two years. One would think with all the
exerting myself and sweating for two years that I should maintain
or lose weight. No – gained 20 damn pounds because of Sylvia’s
coconut pie. I remind her all the time about looking like a Macy’s
Day parade balloon when I am picking up a coconut pie.
Those of you that may have been away for a while, Brantley
has sold his business three times. I have heard it from Sylvia and
Brantley many times over the years that they are getting old and
should retire. Yeah right. He has sold the business three times I
know of and probably more before I arrived.
Brantley Sr. was born in Oriental in the 1600s to parents of
God-like folk. He must have been the baby because to this day
he is spoiled. If you are not friends of Brantley, you would not
know this, the tight ass has a heart. He delivers meals that Sylvia
prepares to the elderly women and women shut-ins in Oriental six
days a week. I watch his girls X2 and Brant grow older, watch
their own kids grow to adults and have their own kids.
Jean Jean and I are proud to call them dear friends. Love the
whole clan of yah.
Jean Jean – a damn Yankee from Bucks County, PA – She has
a mom (Big Regina) and two younger sisters – all live above the
Mason Dixon Line.
I met Regina at my 50th birthday party that she came to with
friends, and not attached at the time. I vaguely remember much
of the meeting. She gave me a gift certificate for a massage and
I redeemed it seven years later, no lie. She was hard to get an
appointment with way back then. When I became available a
friend asked if I wanted to go on a double date with he and his
wife, I accepted and we went to Chelsea’s in New Bern. Waiting
to be seated, we had a drink at the bar and she wanted to pay
the bill. I thought “What the hell?” No woman on a date with a
Southern boy pays for any meal or drink – so I paid to her chagrin. We had a nice time and I told my friends I would take it from
here. Our next date was of her choosing – Greenville for Indian
food and ice skating. No respectful Southern man ice skates, but
apparently all Yankee’s do. She looked like Dorothy Hamill, jumping in the air, skating backwards, not falling once. Me with my
Southern pride got my ass out on that ice and gingerly advanced
about one inch per minute. Then she decides to pull me around
the rink – ice, like concrete, hurts when your buttocks hits it. I
survived the night and October 21, 2013 we were married before
God, my daughter and grandchildren. My friends asked me what
the hell was I doing marrying a Yankee? I said I got the best of
em and I did. God has continued to bless us and I can’t wait to see
that curly red haired Catholic/Jew every morning. We are doing
a self-study related to healing and personal miracles. What fun to
walk in God’s path together.
Love you Sugah –
Meet the Norman, Lee, Midgette family. I know you already
met my 11-year junior wife (not as much as Sherrill) that has
a body of a 20-year-old and more mouth and opinions than a
Chinese radio. Till next week – Wave to folks, find out who they
are, and smile and be nice to folks, it will come back 10 fold.
Till next week – Poppie

for responding to the spill
could range from $338 million to $27.7 billion (that’s taxpayer
money, by the way) based on the federal government’s own costbenefit analyses for cleaning up toxic waste and oil spills? And
(here’s the big one) did you know the blame for this disaster is
the government department charged with keeping us safe - the
Environmental Protection Agency.
It gets even worse (or more absurd might be more accurate) the agency delayed letting anyone know what was going on.
But of course, it was made ever so much better because the
EPA’s fall guy for this incident (their term for the disaster, not
mine) took responsibility for the spill - they had a choice?
Bottom line is the agency waited a day before sounding the alert
after the accident at the abandoned mine. Contaminated water
from the mine flooded into a nearby creek but it wasn’t until a full
day later that townsfolk downriver got the word.

Making Sense of Investing
We’re getting close to
Labor Day, a celebration of
the men and women who
roll up their sleeves and go to work each day. If
you’re in the workforce yourself, you can appreciate this recognition of your efforts. And as an
investor, you can employ these attributes of the American worker:
• Organization – The most productive workers are those who
organize their time and efforts to maximize their productivity.
When you invest, organization is also important. You might have
trouble gaining traction toward your goals, such as a comfortable retirement, if you own a bunch of scattered investments that
aren’t really working together to help you. Instead, try to build a
portfolio in which all your investments combine to provide the
opportunities for growth and income you need to help reach your
objectives.
• Perseverance – As workers, all of us go through difficult
times, whether with our bosses, co-workers or even the work

Tom Campbell of the underlying issues involved
without sounding accusatory, discriminatory or harsh, but for the sake of all our children we must
cut through the Gordian knot we have created.
Most failing schools have a preponderance of students from
lower socioeconomic backgrounds, frequently single parent
homes where the parent either isn’t able or willing to provide the
encouragement needed for the child’s success in school. This often
becomes a discussion stopper because schools can’t fix socioeconomic problems or force parents to do what is needed for their
child’s success.
These children come to school unprepared and remain behind,
unable to perform grade level work. Too many are minorities,
making race the elephant in the room. No matter how well intentioned diversity and racial parity have become almost as important
as the education children receive.
Mainstreaming children already unable to perform grade level
work merely continues the pattern of failure for them and presents

It is quite the challenge at times to keep up with all the initiatives that come our way, some originating in Washington (D.C., not

also regional initiatives, those endorsed by various professional
organizations, and accreditation–related ones. We are not lonely!
But the partnerships that are most critical to us are the local ones

caused this waste spill and reacted in this manner? Offhand I’d say
a for sale sign would probably be in the company’s near future.
Obviously the EPA doesn’t have to play by the same rules.
Instead of simply fessing up - the agency released a statement stating, “When the event happened, the people on the ground misinterpreted, misread the severity of the impact.” Isn’t that what these
people supposedly do for a living?
Ok - I’m done reiterating what you probably already knew and
likely have the same sentiments as myself about our government
in action. It’s what happened this past week that really got my
attention.
Picture this: a rancher decides to built a small pond on his
property (emphasis on the “his” part) and proceeds to secure
all the needed permits (or so he thought). Andy Johnson of Fort
Bridger, Wyoming says he made sure to get the proper permits
from his state government before building the pond. After all, this
is America in the 21st century, and nothing done on your own
property - certainly when it involves the use of water - is beyond
government concern.
But now Johnson is facing millions in fines from the federal
government after the EPA determined his small pond - technically
a "stock pond" to provide better access to water for animals on his
Investor Can Learn Much from the American Workforce
itself – but we persevere. As an investor, you, too, will experience
bumps in the road, in the form of market downturns. Yet, if you
avoid making hasty and ill-advised moves in response to potential
short-term volatility, you can maintain your focus on your longterm needs and goals – and, as a result, you can help improve your
chances of meeting those needs and attaining those goals.
• Vision – Workers put in their time, year after year, because
they have a vision of what they hope their efforts will yield – a
rewarding career, sufficient financial resources for their family,
and so on. As an investor, you also can benefit from articulating
a picture of what you hope to achieve. And that means you need
to be specific about what you want. Instead of saying to yourself,
‘I’d like to retire comfortably someday,’ pin yourself down as to
what this really means. At what age would you like to retire? Will
you want to travel the world or stay close to home to pursue your
hobbies? How much money will you need to make these wishes
come true? Where will this money come from? By answering
these and other questions, you can define a vision for your finan-
cial future, leading you to the next step – creating a strategy to
help turn this vision into reality.
• Diversity – The American workforce benefits from drawing on
the experiences and viewpoints of people from all different backgrounds. When you invest, you should also seek diversity. If you
only owned one type of investment vehicle, such as growth stocks,
and the market hit a downturn, your portfolio would likely take
a big hit. It’s a given that the value of investments will fluctuate,
which means, under some circumstances, you could lose some or
all of your principal. But if you spread your dollars among a range
of vehicles – including stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit and real estate – you can reduce the impact of
volatility on your holdings. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.)
Labor Day will come and go quickly. But by emulating some of
the characteristics of the American workforce, you can continue
making progress toward your goals – without even having to work
overtime.
a serious dilemma for educators. Does the teacher devote a disproportionate amount of time and instruction to helping these children, making it difficult to devote sufficient attention to those at
or above grade level? Does she try to be Superteacher, attempting
to divide time between those below as well as those at or above
grade level? The outcome isn’t usually satisfactory to anyone and
the teacher gets worn out trying. Or perhaps the teacher, largely
evaluated by class test scores, focuses primarily on those students
who can assimilate and learn. That just perpetuates the cycle of
failure for those who need the most help.
Parents might value efforts for diversity, but they recognize their
primary responsibility is to ensure their child gets a world-class
education. Often parents become frustrated with what they consider insufficient challenges for their child to excel and vote with
their feet, moving to charter or private schools. This prophesies
further failure, as public schools become increasingly populated
with average or under-performing students.
Just as Alexander the Great slashed the legendary Gordian
knot with a sword, we need to stop fiddling with the rope and cut
through excuses and inaction.
After dallying with Halifax County Schools since 2009, the
State Board of Education finally stepped in to take over financial
controls, but just controlling finances won’t fix their problems.
More drastic action is called for.
Representative Rob Bryan’s solution is to establish a pilot project to force five of our worst performing schools to either close or
be taken over by successful charter schools. Based on models in
Tennessee and New Orleans this might have promise but results
are inconclusive.
Let’s look at the problem from another viewpoint. Instead of
concentrating on the whole school, why not place our focus on
each child, where it belongs? We should devote our full attention
to what will provide each with the highest and best education they
can attain. Children who can and do achieve the most should be
put in classes where they can move rapidly. Conversely, those
children who need the most help will be put in classrooms where
they get more specialized attention to help them succeed to higher
levels.
It’s time for honest conversation and more action so as to stop
failing our children.

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

Hospice To Host Community Appreciation Day At Thrift Shop
In March of 1984, a steering committee was established to
discuss the formation of a hospice in this community. Soon after
that date, articles and bylaws were written. Board members were
present and each was given $10.00 to cover office supplies. The
first office opened at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Oriental.
The second office opened across from Bayboro Post Office
with “left overs” from the Saturday yard sales. This became
the merchandise for the opening thrift shop. The hospice office
then moved to the second floor of the former hospice location,
previously known as the old Sears Catalog store in Alliance. The
fourth location was in Grantsboro, sharing space with In Home
Aide Care, owned by Roger and Diane McDaniel. Diane was
one of the first hospice nurses. After the closing of their business, the Hospice expanded into the entire building. We have
recently renovated the old Clover Farms building and on June 1,
2015, the Hospice office and Thrift Shop once again came under
the same roof.
Some of our largest fundraisers in the past have been the
Shrimp-a-Roo, the published cookbook in 1998 and the renting
of Lifeline units. Grants were written and money received. Our
largest grants received were from Bates Foundation and United
Way. However, in the recent economy, grants are not as available
as they once had been in the past.
Over the years, we have provided speakers from our staff and
volunteers for churches and civic groups to promote community
awareness of our hospice. If you would like someone to come
and speak to your group, church or event, please give us a call at

ranch - is somehow violating the federal Clean Water Act. In a compliance order, the EPA told Johnson he had to return
his property - under federal oversight - to conditions before the
stock pond was built. When he refused to comply, the EPA tagged
Johnson with a fines of $37,000 per day - really.
Dismantling the pond within the 30-day window the EPA originally gave him was "physically impossible," Johnson said. That was in 2012. Today, Johnson owes the federal government
more than $16 million, and the amount is growing as he tries to
fight back. How you might ask? He is taking the Environmental Protection
Agency to federal court, asking a judge to stop the agency from
fining him that whopping $16 million in fines. I figure the agency
is trying to bolster its coffers after running up a massive tab in the
Colorado spill.
In a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court last week, lawyers
representing Johnson argue the EPA overstepped its authority by
fining the rancher. Frankly I’d like to “overstep” all over the EPA
as well.
To say the least - I hope Johnson wins. Someone needs to show
our government the rules apply to it as well. I also want to know if
the EPA has the ability to sue itself - it’s the least it can do.
From 1984-2007, this Hospice ran solely on grants, fundraisers, memorials and donations. In 2007, we were granted
Medicare certification, and soon after Medicaid, which means we
are able to be reimbursed for those eligible. Others may be covered by a private insurance or have no insurance at all. No one
is every turned away for the inability to pay. The revenue from
the thrift shop is used to provide services to ensure that patients
and their families never receive a bill for our services. We are
the only non-profit hospice agency in Pamlico and Beaufort
Counties.
Thank you to all of those involved with the development
and continuation of Hospice of Pamlico County. This Hospice
was built on a tradition of love, commitment and quality care.
To show our appreciation we will be holding a “Community
Appreciation Day” on Saturday, September 12 from 10 a.m. to
3 p.m. featuring a special sale and refreshments. Anyone wishing to make a donation or memorial, please do so by calling
252.745.5171, M-F 9:00-5:00, and ask to speak with Carolyn
Scott, Executive Director. Those who would like to make donations to the Thrift Shop, please call 252.745.5033 M-F 10:004:00 or Saturday, 10:00-1:00, and ask to speak with Bette
Baldwin, Thrift Shop Manager. Also, please feel free to stop by
at both locations at 602 Main St Bayboro.
Hospice of Pamlico County, Inc. provides end-of-life care
for those who have a terminal illness. If you are interested in
becoming a thrift shop or patient volunteer please contact the

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

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

by his son, Reggie Johnston of Bayboro; three daughters, Sherrie
Taylor of Columbia, S.C., Sonia Johnston and Robbie Johnston
York, both of Bayboro; and two grandchildren, Steven Wayne Miles

• Viola Bright Hill, 80, of New Bern passed away Monday, August

Stanly-Spaight Duel Reenactment Set for
Labor Day Weekend at Tryon Palace
Duel, Fife and Drum Concert to be held on

Tryon Palace’s South Lawn will echo with
gunfire and drumrolls during a live reenactment
of the Stanly-Spaight Duel, held Labor Day
weekend on Saturday, Sept. 5, at 4 p.m.
More than two centuries ago, on Sept. 5, 1802,
prominent New Bern lawyer John Stanly, Jr. met
his political rival, Richard Dobbs Spaight, for a
lethal duel on the streets of New Bern. Spaight,
who had served as North Carolina’s first nativeborn governor, was mortally wounded after four
rounds and Stanly was forced to flee the city.
Stanly was eventually able to return to New Bern
when his friend, Judge William Gaston, who
convinced the governor to grant North Carolina’s
first gubernatorial pardon to Stanly.
Beginning with a performance by the Tyron
Palace Fife and Drum Corps at 4 p.m. on the
South Lawn, visitors are invited to watch the
drama unfold. In the event of rain, performances
will be moved into the North Carolina History
Center’s Cullman Performance Hall.
Admission to the Stanly-Spaight Duel is $6 for
adults, $3 for students and includes admission to
Tryon Palace gardens. A One Day Pass to Tryon
Palace includes the duel at no additional cost, as
well as admission to the Stanly House and the
Regional History Museum, which includes an
exhibit of dueling pistols from the early 1800s
and a portrait of the man who helped Stanly get
his pardon, Judge Gaston.

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

Improved Internet at PCC Helping
Community and Students
By Townley Cheek
Special to The Pamlico News
Over the past two decades, the percentage
of individuals using the internet has increased
tenfold. According to the Pew Research Center,
87 percent of individuals in America used the
internet, email, or accessed the internet via a
mobile device in 2014. Internet has become a
staple for everyday activities and communications in the 21st Century world, but many still
do not have access to the internet at home.
In 2013, only 75.2 percent of individuals in
North Carolina live in a household with highspeed internet according to the Pew Research
Center. This 75.2 percent is not only below the
national average, but shows a possible disconnect between the percentage of people that use
and need the internet and the percentage of the
people who have access to internet at home.
While the data is not representative of Pamlico
County at the local level, it does help to give
insight on the problem of internet availability in
the county.
Pamlico Community College has been faced
with the issue of internet availability in Pamlico
County for many years, especially with the
rise of the distance education era. When students do not have access to internet outside of
school, or when the internet is unstable in locations throughout the county, it becomes harder
for the student to complete assignments, do
research, and study. Understanding this issue,
PCC has taken steps over the years to improve
the internet connection on campus.
Just recently, PCC’s internet underwent a
large renovation and upgrade. “The primary
improvement in the wireless internet connection is bandwidth. For quite a while there were
no high speed bandwidth options, but when the
service became available to our area, we adopted it,” says Scott Frazer, Director of Computer
Services.
The new and improved wireless internet at
PCC will not only make the connection more
reliable for students, but it allows for greater
efficiency in completing assignments on campus. Students no longer have to rely on desktop
computers in the library or throughout campus
to do work. “Faster and more reliable wireless internet enables students to use their own
personal devices with confidence not only in
the library, but throughout campus,” says Leigh
Russell, Chair of Library Services and Cultural
Things To Know

306 Head-on Collision Leaves One Dead
N.C. Highway Patrol confirmed one person
is dead Sunday after a fatal crash in Pamlico
County.
It happened around 12 a.m. on Highway
306. Sergeant Lamon Hill says a a white 2009
Nissan Cube traveling south on NC 306 in
Pamlico County crossed the centerline and
traveled into the northbound travel lane and
struck a 2002 GMC pickup truck that was trav-
eling northbound on NC 306 head on.
The Nissan driver, 31-year old Shannah
Pierce was killed in the crash. No other passengers were in her vehicle.
The driver of the GMC pickup was under
the age of 21 and was charged with D.W.I and
consuming while operating a motor vehicle
while under the age of 21. He was transported
to Carolina East Medical Center.

Enrichment Programs.
Students are not the only ones benefiting
from the upgrade. The new and improved wireless internet will allow the community to have
access to reliable internet. “Community users
may bring their personal devices to the PCC
library and connect to the wirelessly. Just like
our students, if community users are having
problems with their home internet connection,
they can come to PCC and have access,” says
Russell.
Students and citizens not only can experience
the benefits of a new and improved wireless
internet on the main campus of PCC, but can
utilize the same service in all PCC buildings,
including the Career Center, Bayboro Center,
and Cosmetology Center. The Cosmetology
Center even provides wireless internet to clients. “Clients will now be able to enjoy high
speed wireless internet via the college’s new
hotspot. Email, surf the web, or enjoy social
media while you wait,” says Frazer.
Pamlico Community College’s purpose is not
only to serve the students, but to serve the community as well. This upgrade helps the college,
the students, and the community. As Dr. Cleve
Cox, President of PCC, states, “This upgrade is
long overdue and will be appreciated throughout the entire campus and the county.”
Pamlico County Schools is pleased to
announce that during a recent regional meeting of school testing coordinators, Nancy
Ross, Testing Coordinator for the school district, received the prestigious “Clyde Davis
RAC (Regional Accountability Coordinator)
5 LEA (Local Education Authority) Testing
Coordinator of the Year” for 2014-2015. This
is the second year in which the award has been
given in honor of Clyde Davis, retired Regional
Accountability Coordinator for Region 5.
Mrs. Ross began her career with Pamlico
County Schools in 1999 as the district’s testing
coordinator. Her position encompasses many
responsibilities to include planning the testing
calendar, training school testing coordinators,
scanning, scoring and reporting testing data
to local administrators, submitting test files
to the North Carolina Department of Public
Instruction (NCDPI) and ensuring that all eli-
gible students
are tested in the
correct setting.
In addition to
her testing coordinator duties,
Mrs. Ross serves
as the district’s
English as a
Second Language
(ESL) Services
Coordinator and
Homeless Student
Liaison. During
the past 16 years,
she has performed her job responsibilities, both
skillfully and accurately, and has guided the
district through the ever changing student testing environment.
Congratulations on a job well done!
