Oriental Board Proposes Budget Cuts, Tax Hike
NOTABLE
By Maureen Donald
The Pamlico News
• Memorial Day Service in Bayboro
The Pamlico County Veterans Council and
the Pamlico County Honor Guard are pleased to
announce the Memorial Day Service will be held
on May 30 at 10am in front of the Court House in
Bayboro. The guest speaker will be North Carolina
State Senator Norman Sanderson. The public is
invited and all veterans are urged to attend.
• Flag Day Celebration Planned
Elks Lodge #764 will host its annual Flag Day
celebration June 11, 11am at the Gazebo at Union
Point Park in New Bern. The 2nd Marine Division
Band from Camp Lejeune will provide the musical
accompaniment. Seating is limited - all who attend
are encouraged to bring their own chairs. For further information, contact John Serumgard, event
chair at (252)-633-2119.
Oriental officials have come up with a proposed plan to eliminate a $28K shortfall creating
a balanced budget totaling just under $824,700.
At Monday’s meeting, the board proposed
$38K in cuts nixing a 6K dog park, 24K for a
new town truck and $8.4K earmarked administrative education courses. Other significant
adjustments involve administrative salaries
totaling an additional $9.6K. The increase will
provide one full-time and one part-time position to replace two part time employees who
have resigned. Despite the increase town salaries
across the board are down $11K.
“This is a tight budget, to say the least,” said
Oriental Town Manager Diane Miller. “There’s
no room for anything to break.”
• Church Hosts R.O.T.C.
As an example Miller points to the recent
weather reports of storm possibly heading for the
area this weekend.
“Currently there’s $1250 in the storm damage
fund,” Miller said. “That amount won’t go very
far. If we get any significant damage, we’d have
to dip into our fund balance.”
The proposed plan which heads to public
hearing June 7 also hikes trash service fees by
$3 per month, increasing the average cost per
household from $10.30 to $13.30 to reduce the
current shortfall within the service. The annual
cost of providing trash service to residents for
the 2015-16 fiscal year was just over $149,700,
but residents were only charged $91,000 leaving a shortfall of $58,700. The increase would
mean the difference between the annual shortfall
for the waste program dropping from $70,000 to
$41,000.
Passing the Baton
2015-16 Pamlico County High School Drum
Major Mariah Meador passes the baton to rising Senior Hank Winfrey at the band’s year-end
concert Thursday. Winfrey will take over as
Drum Major for the 2016-17 school year.
Recently the combined Pamlico County
Middle School and High School band earned
a Superior Rating during a WorldStrides festival. This was the second consecutive year that
the band received the rating - he first time a
Pamlico band has earned Superiors in consecutive years.
Oriental Free Will Baptist Church will host the
R.O.T.C. from Pamlico High School on May 24th.
Officers and Cadets will speak and they will have
the Flag Raising. Everyone is Invited especially our
Veterans.
• Camp Don Lee to Host Open House
Camp Don Lee/Don Lee Center will host a free
Open House on Sunday, May 29 from 2-7pm.
There will also be a dedication of the Jack and

and was completed in May thanks to generous
donations from Jack and Gladys Lee. Activities
such as sailing, swimming, canoeing, nature, and
archery will be open to all guests from 2-5pm.
There will be a BBQ picnic dinner served at 5pm
for $10, followed by evening vespers.

PCC Students Saving Thousands
By Townley Cheek
With the cost of tuition, books,
fees, and room and board rising
each year, the increasing financial
burden of attending a four-year college can serve as a deterrent for
many in pursuit of higher education. While financial assistance is
available to students that qualify,
as the demand for aid increases,
the number of students who qualify
for financial assistance decreases.
This presents a growing problem
for students who depend upon aid to
help pay for the cost of a four-year
institution.
Community colleges can serve as
an effective and efficient bridge to
four-year institutions for many reasons, but most notably for cost. The

The Oriental Board of Commissioners will continue budget talks including possible tax, trash
increases at its next Budget Meeting scheduled
for Thursday, May 26th, 8am in the large board
room at the Town Hall.
Also proposed is a .02 tax increase which
translates to a $300 increase on a $150,000 property or $1000 for a $500,000 valued home - a
hike to $330 and $1100 respectively. If approved
the increase would mean just over $40K infusion into Oriental’s coffers based on the current
households.
A proposed tax increase was met with approval during the public comment period.

belonging to David and Wanda Spruill, were shot
on their property on Gibbtown Road in Merritt
on Saturday, January 30. Two of the donkeys
died that same day. The third passed on the following day. The youngest, Peanut, was just six
months old. A $500 reward was offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the
perpetrators.
Investigators determined that the animals were
killed with a small caliber firearm. Eyewitness
descriptions of a vehicle seen in the area on the

of the firearm used in the shooting.

weekly horoscope
Aries (March 21-April 19)
When Venus and Mars
change signs this week, it suits
you quite well because fiery
Mars will slip back into your
Eighth House, which means
disputes about shared property,
inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance issues
are likely. These confrontations might linger until
August. However, Venus will be in your Third
house, making all your everyday encounters more
charming, more diplomatic and more pleasant. This
will greatly soften any antagonism. Furthermore,
fiery Mars is going to stimulate your sex drive and
create a desire in you for an intense, transforming
relationship. (Gasp.) And of course, fair Venus,
will help you sweet talk your way into or out of
anything!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The movement of Mars,
slipping back into Scorpio to
stay until August, will probably
create a few problems for you
because this means Mars will be
opposite your sign for the next
couple of months. This can only happen every few
years; and when it does, it means there will be
more tension in your life dealing with partners and
close friends. You might even have to face an open
enemy, as it were. As these conflicts occur, compromise is difficult. Just make sure that what you’re
fighting about is worth fighting about. Meanwhile,
fair Venus will urge you to buy beautiful things
for yourself and others in the next several weeks.
Venus will also attract money to you! Ka-ching!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
An interesting contradiction
for the Gemini twins! Fair Venus
is in your sign until June 17.
When Venus is in your sign,
you become impossibly charming and adorable. You want to
schmooze with everyone. You also want to make a
great impression on others. (This is the perfect time
to patch up misunderstandings.) It’s a great time for
socializing and enjoying a vacation with someone.
It’s also an excellent time to buy wardrobe goodies.
Basically, it’s fun city and you will rank pleasure
above work. However, Mars will introduce a big
contradiction because Mars wants you to work
hard and be as efficient, effective and productive
as possible! Whaaat? Please note: The energy of
Mars will not negate Venus. It just means that both
of them are at play. Yup - you will work hard and
party hard!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Venus and Mars will now
send you a contradictory message in one way - and not
at all in another way. (Read
on MacDuff!) Fiery Mars will
positively urge you to have fun
as much as possible in the next two months. Yay
me! You will want to play, cavort, take a vacation,
and in general, make work take a backseat to fun,
amusing diversions! Yay me again! Meanwhile,
Venus wants you to hide and enjoy solitude in
beautiful surroundings. That is the contradiction.
But the obvious fit is this: Mars will definitely pump
your sex drive and your interest in love affairs and
romance; while hidden Venus encourages secret
trysts and clandestine relationships. Naughty you.
(Two’s company, three is an orgy!)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
In the next couple of months,
your household will be active
and busy! This might be because
of visiting guests (highly likely);
however, it might also be due to
renovations, residential moves,
or some kind of change taking place. Naturally, this
increased chaos will be a beautiful opportunity for
you to practice patience, no? (You never get the
chance when things are hunky-dory.) In addition to
this insanity at home, you will be much more social
than usual. You will seek out friends. Many of you
will join clubs, groups and associations. You might
also take classes because you will likely be more
involved with artistic, creative people. (Right up
your alley because Leo is the sign that rules the
arts, the entertainment world and show business.)
“Gotta dance!”
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
As Venus and Mars change
signs this week, it heralds good
news for Virgos. Mars will give
a shot of energy to all your
communications with everyone.
You will speak with greater
confidence, clarity and precision. You will say what
you mean and mean what you say! In fact, with all
this increased energy to communicate, the next
few months will be wonderful for writers, editors,
actors, teachers and anyone in sales and marketing. There’s more. While your communication skills
become stellar, fair Venus at the top of your chart
will smooth the way for you to deal with authority
figures - bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and yes,
even the police. In fact, Venus will sweeten things
to the extent that some of you will have an affair
with your boss! More likely, you will fall in love with
someone older, richer or more established.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
In the next two months, you
will work harder than usual to
earn money because you have
plans to spend it! However, the
recent Mercury retrograde has
made you debt conscious, which
means you want to get out of debt. Nevertheless,
right now you want to travel for pleasure! You want
to go to fun places where you can have fascinating
conversations in stimulating surroundings meeting exciting, new people. Therefore, your urge to
spend more and earn more totally dovetails with
your desire to spread your wings and expand your
horizons either through travel, education or exploring new avenues in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and higher education. Bon voyage!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You will be pumped with
energy for the next few months
because fiery Mars is back in
your sign. This can only happen every two years, and when
it does, it’s an indication of
increased activity in your life. But it also means that
you have decided that it’s time to show the world
what you can really do. This is why you’re prepared to work hard. It’s also why you have a high
physical energy level. You will defend your ideas,
and will even defend others if they are attacked.
Meanwhile, Venus will attract money, gifts and
goodies to you. It will also attract mind-blowing sex.
(Would I kid you?) Therefore, you can really score
with the shift of these two signs right now. What a
promising summer ahead! (You devil.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Fair Venus will now move
opposite your sign for the next
three weeks making all your
relations with others more pleasant. Basically, things will go
well because you find it easy to
express your affection for others. You more easily
see the needs of your partner and you understand
what others want. Your ability to get along with
enemies will even improve. This also favours legal
decisions that might affect you. Mars, however, will
go into hiding for the next two months in your chart.
Although you felt this briefly earlier this year - as a
rule, you experience this placement of Mars only
once in every two years. The way to use this is to
be very conscious of those little, self-defeating acts
that we all do. If you feel frustrated - and you want
to confront someone else - don’t do it. Instead,
confront yourself. Some retrospection will be illuminating for you. (“Turn out that light!”)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Everything to do with work,
your job or the daily tasks that
you set for yourself will flow
smoothly in the next few weeks.
Some of you might get a raise
at work or certainly praise.
Relations with coworkers will improve. Even your
health will improve; however, beware of overdoing
it with sweets and desserts. (Yes, it’s ice cream
cone time!) Meanwhile, fiery Mars will activate a
part of your chart dealing with goals. You have
a strong drive now to achieve your goals. This
is why the next two months are the perfect time
to set goals with deadlines and start to actively
pursue them. Some of you will also be very active
in groups or clubs - physically active. It might even
involve physical competition. You want to win!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a powerful summer
for you because Mars will now
ignite your ambition, making
you go after what you really
want. You won’t take no for an
answer. You won’t hesitate asking anyone in power for help or advice. Of course,
you prefer to be your own boss this summer. This
is why conflicts with coworkers might occur if they
feel threatened by you. (Yes, you’ll be PowerPoint
on steroids!) Meanwhile, fair Venus will reward you
with fun, pleasure and sensuous diversions. Many
of you will strike up a new romance. The month
ahead will be full of entertaining moments with the
theatre, musical performances, sports events, creative activities and fun with children. There will be
no need to pretend to be what you are not.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Like a few other signs, this
week’s shift with Venus and
Mars brings you a contradiction.
Fair Venus makes you want to
entertain at home, redecorate
your home, invite friends, family
and loved ones over and just cocoon in a big Love
Sit-In. (“Isn’t this nice? Did you make that dip?”) Do
note: The next few weeks are good for real-estate
deals and speculation. However, despite your
hankering to hunker down at home - Mars wants
you to travel! Mars wants you to push the boundaries of life around you so that you can explore new
areas, meet new people, discovering new things!
Gasp. (In your enthusiasm for politics and religion,
be careful that you don’t try to coerce others to
agree with you.) But the bottom line is you will put
all your energy into expanding your mind and your
experience of the world. And yet, Venus says, “ET
go home.”

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. Cadbury is sponsored by Neil
Landau and Taylor, Flynn and Samson Meyer.
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. Wilbur is sponsored by Dr. Hicks. A third NLOL dog, Raleigh, is already spoken for and is sponsored by
Anthony and Cathy Santore.
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.
You can also email PAWS at mail.pamlicopaws.net and download an adoption application

innocent animals from being born. They are
often neglected, abandoned or killed in shelters so altering your pets
before they breed is the humane and common-sense solution.
We are here to help! Take action today!

of the
Week
For the second year in a row Heartworks Afterschool and Summer
Learning Program has been recognized as the “Best Overall Program” by
the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. Annually organizations statewide which take part in the Food Bank’s Kids Café program are
invited to compete for awards based upon, nutritional and fitness education, and community outreach efforts.
Recently students from Heartworks 21st Century Community Learning
Center (CCLC) in Bayboro traveled to Dunn, N.C. to take part in the
“Standards of Excellence Celebration”. The students were treated to
five fun stations for outdoor play, including a bouncy house. The fitness
program was followed by lunch where kids were free to make nutritious
menu choices from a fresh Mexican cuisine food truck. The Awards
Ceremony resulted in Heartworks receiving a check for one thousand five
hundred dollars and a trophy for the children to take home.
Heartworks earned the award through its efforts to make fitness fun.
They offer varied optional activities in which students may learn healthy
nutrition. The children may choose to work in the organic garden, or api-

students walk a mile as they listen to literary selections and complete

Heartworks Executive Director, Karen Prince stated, “Because of the
support of our Local New Bern Food Bank and the statewide Food Bank
of Central and Eastern Carolina we are able to offer our students a hot
meal each day. And in conjunction with Walmart’s Feeding America
Program we can share nutritious food with our families on our Family

17-Year-Old Gets 10-14 Year Prison Sentence for Home Invasion
District Attorney Scott Thomas announced that, in Craven County
Superior Court this week, Kywine Velasquez, 17, of New Bern, pled
guilty to charges arising out of a home invasion last July, and was sentenced to prison. Superior Court Judge W. Allen Cobb, Jr., presided over
this session of court, and the cases were prosecuted in court by Assistant
District Attorney Karen Hobbs.
At approximately 10:20 p.m. on July 30, 2015, Velasquez, wearing a
hoodie and a towel or t-shirt across part of his face, burst into the home of
the victim in Craven County, armed with a handgun. Velasquez demanded
the victim turn over all of his weapons, which Velasquez knew the victim
owned. The victim, aged 56, did not comply, and Velasquez shot him in
the stomach and fled. The victim was taken to Vidant Medical Center and
treated.
The victim was able to identify Velasquez by his voice and height
(6’4”), because Velasquez had been
in the victim’s home on previous
occasions due to his friendship with
a family member of the victim.
Velasquez pled guilty to Robbery
with a Dangerous Weapon, First
Degree Burglary, and Assault with
a Deadly Weapon Inflicting Serious
Injury. Judge Cobb sentenced
Velasquez to a minimum of 10
years and a maximum of 14 years in
prison.
Kywine Velasquez, 17
The case was investigated by the
Craven County Sheriff’s Office, led by investigator Brian Peluso.

Around Town
The last in a series celebrating 70 years of Oriental’s Old Theater
by Carol Small
A few more memories from people you all know follows.
Jim Ragan (who you will see on stage May 13 and 14) remembers that, “When I was a small child growing up in Oriental, we
did not have TV. There were no TV stations in the area. The opening of the Mart Theater had a major impact on my life.
I grew up off of Midyette Street about a block and a half from
the Oriental Theater. The roads, Midyette and Church Streets, that
I walked to get to the theater, carried very little traffic in the late
40s and 50s.
Beginning at a very early age of my life, my parents allowed
me to walk unaccompanied to the theater. During the summer
months, I was permitted to attend the theater every time the movie
changed. During the school year, there were some restrictions but
I still attended on a regular basis.
During the summer there was always a cousin or two staying at
my house. My cousins loved the freedom they had in Oriental, and
they especially enjoyed the freedom of going to the theater several
times a week. Living in larger towns and cities, they had no such
opportunity because they depended on their parents for transportation to the theater. They were fortunate to attend once a week.
As a regular attendee, I was exposed to all the different movie
genres. My favorites were the cowboy movies on Friday and
Saturday night. At other times there were the dramas, comedies
and musicals. With no choice in the matter, I came to enjoy all
of them. I still enjoy musicals today and attend live theater to see
them at every opportunity.”
Jim Ragan continues, “The theater greatly expanded my world
view. I saw the Hollywood version of sophisticated urban society
and was exposed to ideas, situations and cultures far beyond the
reach of our isolated community.” Let us expand your town view
with our celebration May 13 and 14.
Woody Fuller, a well known actor in many of the plays in
the Old Theater and Oriental Resident since 1993, after having had a successful technical career, discovered Oriental as a
sailor. Retiring on the water with his boat behind his house, he
renewed his love of the stage. With his naturally booming voice
he spoke with me recently. He has had a long history with The
Old Theater, and so we collected a few of his stories. In 1947 he
was in an operetta in high school, and after moving to Oriental in
1993 decided to answer an ad for actors in the paper. He got the
last spot, the TV announcer! Woody was hooked. He continued
to act with the Pelican Players for at least 10 of their productions
using at first The Woman’s Club and then moving to the restored
theater later. He still can be found on stage in our current play. He still remembers vividly his second play acting with Bill Gould
and Gary Williams. It was The Odd Couple. The stage was
just curtains set up in the Woman’s Club with no scenery at all. Woody had a small bit part, but the production was well received,
and with Bill and Gary, and the character of the play, well we can
all imagine what fun all had! (Bill Gould has a quip about this. The script had Bill and Gary painting the apartment. Bill took
his hand and put it into the paint and then patted Gary’s backside. Gary didn’t realize that he had a white handprint for the rest of the
play. Why was that audience laughing so hard?
Woody can recite the complete order of his plays with Pelican
Players but his most favorite of all was the Yum Yum Tree. Eliz
Valassis was the director of this play, and she was recruiting
Woody but she agreed to change the date of the play just for
Woody because he really wanted that part. During the Yum Yum
Tree, Woody was watering the stage plants with a watering can. Completely off of the script, Gary Williams says to him, “You
know all of those bushes are fake.” To which Woody replies (all
411 Broad St.
Oriental NC
252-249-0359
of this in front of the audience), “It doesn’t matter the watering
can is empty.” Also during this play at one part there was to
have been a night of revelry with his stage wife. On stage (the
next morning) he appears wearing shorts with big red hearts on
them, but totally disheveled. The audience went wild. His (real)
wife knew nothing abut the shorts, but laughed along with all.
Woody continued with the Pelican Players until they seemed
to run out of new “blood” to run the organization and act in the
plays. But during this time he built all of the sets including 22
flats (the scenery that stands vertical). He loved doing things
with his hands and built gigs in his garage and started right in
building with each new play.
In The Cemetery Club extra down lights had been installed
in the ceiling that were very hot. The players were sitting on
a couch under these lights sweating profusely, but carrying on
with the script. As one lady tried to get up, she was stuck to the
couch. Funny things happen on stage!
Woody also directed two of the plays, one was I Only Have
Fangs for You. His love of the theater is very evident having
been a part of it for the last 23 years.
Hugh Midyette was very young when the theater was being
built. The builder was staying in his mama’s apartment while
the building was under construction. Hugh and his friends went
in after the floor was laid and used it for a roller skating rink. You will remember that the floor slopes down pretty dramatically (for roller skates) and so Hugh remembers going pretty
fast and crashing into the stage. He went to the movies every
Tuesday night because of the Drawing for Money!
Jack Bond remembers going to the movies in The Old Theater,
but not as much as his brother George did. Jack recounts that
George used to come to Oriental to stay with Granny Midge
so he could see a girl that he eventually married after a very
long time. Jack went to the movies for the westerns. And he
says that there were a lot of them. Hubert and Tom Smith were
running the theater and one sold the tickets and the other one
sold the popcorn. Jack remembers the separate entrance for
the Blacks and that they sat in the balcony, but those were the
times. He doesn’t remember the cost of the movies, but that
it wasn’t much. He remembers that Tom and Hubert put in a
wide screen when films changed so more films could be shown. Jack remembers the “Womanless Beauty Pageant” in 1976 and
Brantley Jr. was the child carrying the flag. Somehow the tip of
the flagpole touched that new screen that had just been installed
and ripped a hole through it. (I mentioned this rip earlier.) Alas
he remembers when the theater closed and it became a storage
unit for so long. Jack bought a seat in the refurbished theater
with his wife’s name on it, Connie Bond, and he has a brick
somewhere in the side yard. The theater has touched so many
lives.
Ceremony Held for SECU Memorial Walkway
A groundbreaking for the SECU Memorial Walkway took place today
aboard one of the most decorated ships of World War II, the USS Battleship
NORTH CAROLINA. Representatives from the SECU Foundation and
State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) gathered with Battleship officials,
state and community leaders for the special event in Wilmington. SECU
Foundation Board Chair Jim Johnson spoke briefly to guests and supporters
before participating in a ceremonial “cutting of the teak,” officially marking
the start of the Walkway’s construction. A $3 million grant was provided by
the member-funded SECU Foundation for the project. The SECU Memorial
Walkway will honor the legacy of North Carolina’s iconic landmark and pay
tribute to all military personnel. “The Battleship NORTH CAROLINA is enthusiastic about the start of the
project. We have worked diligently and efficiently to bring it to fruition,”
states Captain Terry Bragg, Executive Director for the Battleship. “It is a
momentous day for us and it’s because of the support of members of State
Employees’ Credit Union that we will be able to keep the Battleship here for
future generations.” Jim Johnson notes, “The SECU Memorial Walkway will enhance the
experience for all those who visit our state’s World War II Memorial. Through their Foundation, SECU members are proud to show support for a
project that will honor the men and women of our military and bring greater
awareness to the historical significance of this great ship for many years to
come.” A not-for-profit financial cooperative owned by its members, SECU has
been providing employees of the State of North Carolina and their families
with consumer financial services for nearly 79 years. The Credit Union also
offers a diversified line of financial advisory services including retirement
and education planning, tax preparation, insurance, trust and estate planning
services, and investments through its partners and affiliated entities. SECU
serves 2 million members through 255 branch offices, over 1,100 ATMs,
24/7 Member Services via phone and a website, www.ncsecu.org. The
SECU Foundation, a 501c (3) charitable organization funded solely by the
contributions of SECU members, promotes local community development in
North Carolina primarily through high impact projects in the areas of housing, education, healthcare and human services.
Budget
are reflecting the significant increases we
are experiencing,” said Ron Stevens. “I
think taxes should be raised on a prudent
basis to help make repairs needed.”
In particular, Stevens was concerned
about roads, ditches and grass. His neighbor James Roesch agreed and pointed out
that raising taxes to provide ditch maintenance would benefit residents on several
levels.
“The town is spraying for mosquitoes but breeding them at the same time
because of the overflowing ditches,”
Roesch said. “The town is trying to sell
an image and routine maintenance helps
maintain the best one.”
Also of concern to both Stevens and
Roesch was the lack of proper mowing

“People in town cut grass and leave the
clippings in the street,” Roesch said. “That
causes all kinds of problems.”
Ex-mayor and former Oriental Board
member Sherrill Styron provided his 25
years of experience serving the town.
“I’d rather see you cut expenses,” Styron
said. “I urge you to look at the numbers
hard before raising taxes. That said, after
listening to you (board members) I realize
that may not be possible.”
Also mentioned at Monday’s workshop was the town’s fund balance which
currently stands at 44 percent of annual
operating budget as of June 30, 2015 or
$323,637. The League of Municipalities
recommends 21 percent fund balance but
Continued from page 1
for a municipality the size of Oriental
should be closer to 50 percent.
Currently the town collects $433,995
in property taxes. The .02 increase, if
approved, would add $40,360 raising the
number collected to $474,355.
Other Pamlico County towns reflect
similar rates with Bayboro’s 1200 residents
paying .225 and less populated Mesic
(217) and Vandemere (215) both at .23 per
$100.
Nearby counties show a wide diversity
of tax rates with Aurora’s 600 residents
coughing up .55 per $100 and Belhaven
and Chocowinity closely behind at .53.
Carteret’s beach communities sit somewhere in the middle with Beaufort and
Morehead City at .35 tax rate.

In the year 1512, Gerardus Mercator was born.
He would eventually have a great and lasting
impact on navigation. Young Mercator grew up
to become a geographer of worldwide fame.
And why does the name “Mercator” have a
familiar ring to most of us mariners? If you look
in the title block of your navigation charts, you’ll
find that with very few exceptions, the name
“Mercator” will be printed there.
Gerardus Mercator produced maps and globes.
He was particularly interested in the differences
between spherical (globes) and flat (maps) representations of the same geography. Did you have
ever cut a globe in half and try to flatten it out
for use as a map? If so, you have something in
common with Mercator.
Just as it is impossible to flatten an orange
peel out without tearing or distorting it, the
“globe to map” transition was also difficult. In
the 1500’s, Mercator endeavored to produce a
“flat map” of the globe, but without the usual
distortion.
Parallels of latitude (horizontal lines), meridians of longitude (vertical lines), and land masses,
all wrap around a spherically shaped globe. How
does one flatten those things out and end up with
an accurate map?
Mercator pondered this problem for over half
of his life before finding a solution. In 1569, he
decided to abandon the theories of all other chart
makers. It was in that year that he published his
eighteen page world map, which employed his
revolutionary theory.
What he ultimately developed is what we refer
to today as the “Mercator Projection.” This new
method of converting the spherical graphics of
the globe to the flat graphics of a chart was revolutionary.
On the globe, the meridians of longitude are
spaced furthest apart at the equator and all terminate together at the poles. At no point on the
globe is there a right angle between a meridian
of longitude and a parallel of latitude.
Mercator started with a glass globe that had
parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude and
the land masses drawn on it. Next, he rolled a
sheet of paper into a cylinder equal to the diameter of the globe. He put a candle into the center
of the globe and slipped the paper cylinder over
the globe. The shadows of what was drawn on
the globe were “projected” onto the paper. He
then traced the shadows on the paper.
Now you know how Mercator was able to
“project” a spherical image onto a flat surface.
The result is that the meridians of longitude and
the parallels of latitude end up intersecting each
other at right angles. While there is still a minimal amount of distortion, it is negligible.
Given the “right angle” aspect of the latitude
and longitude lines, the North and South Poles
cannot be shown by Mercator projection. The
poles are the two points at which the longitude
lines terminate. In a Mercator projection, the
longitude lines never converge.
While Mercator’s achievement was monumental, it would be almost seventy years before it
would be in widespread use. In the middle of it
all, Mercator narrowly escaped religious prosecution while being tried for heresy in 1544. Who
ever said that scientific study was easy?
Until next time, we wish you clear skies, fair
winds and calm seas!

Recreational Cobia Regulations in Effect
MOREHEAD CITY –The N.C. Division of
Marine Fisheries has issued a proclamation consistent with the North Carolina Marine Fisheries
Commission’s decision to impose restrictions
on the recreational cobia fishery. On Thursday
the commission voted to impose the following
restrictions on recreational cobia:
• A 37-inch fork length (measured from the tip
of the snout to the fork in the tail) minimum size
limit for all recreational fisheries.
• Anglers fishing from private boats may only
fish on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays
under daily possession limit of two fish per vessel or one fish per person if only one person is
on board.
• Those fishing from the shore or shore-based
structures (pier or surf) may fish seven days a
week with a daily possession limit of one fish
per person.
• Those fishing on a for-hire boat (charter or
guide) may fish seven days a week with a daily
possession limit of four fish per vessel or one
fish per person if fewer than four people are on
board.
• Those practicing catch-and-release may fish
seven days a week.
The commission’s decision was in response to
a federal announcement that, because the annual
catch limit was exceeded last year, it intends to
close the recreational cobia season in federal
waters north of the Georgia-Florida border on
June 20. In order to remain consistent with
the federal fishery management plan, the federal government encouraged states close state
waters for recreational cobia season on June 20.
The commission did not approve the division’s
recommendation to either close state waters on
June 20 or select one of eight size and vessel
limit combinations already analyzed by federal government that would have resulted in
a lengthened season if adopted by both North
Carolina and Virginia. The commission’s decision to impose these
additional restrictions is an effort to extend the
recreational cobia season in state waters. These
new restrictions go into effect on Monday. The
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries will submit
these new restrictions to the federal government
and request an expedited review to determine
whether these actions will be sufficient to
allow the season to be extended in state waters
beyond June 20. If the federal government
determines that these restrictions are not sufficient to remain consistent with the federal fishery management plan for the Gulf of Mexico
and Atlantic regions, additional restrictions may
be necessary. For more specifics on the regulations, see
Proclamation FF-25-2016 at http://ncmarinefisheries.net/proclamations.
Joint Law Enforcement Group Meeting Set
MOREHEAD CITY – The Joint Law
Enforcement Agreement Advisory Group will
meet at 5 p.m. June 1 at the Craven County
Agricultural Center, 300 Industrial Drive, New
Bern. The advisory group will discuss whether the
state should enter into a joint law enforcement
agreement with the federal government. The N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries is conducting a 12-month study to determine the possible impacts, costs and benefits of a joint law
enforcement agreement with the National Marine
Fisheries Service, and whether the N.C. General
Assembly should authorize the division to enter
into an agreement. The division is required, by
law, to submit findings of a study on this topic to
the General Assembly by Oct. 15. Consultation
with an advisory group is part of this process. In a joint enforcement agreement, the N.C.
Marine Patrol would contract with the National
Marine Fisheries Service Office of Law
Enforcement to supplement and enhance federal fisheries law enforcement capabilities. The
agreement would be accompanied by an enforcement plan in which both the state and federal
agencies agree to a list of priorities and activities
to be enforced by state officers. In return, Marine
Patrol would receive monetary compensation
and training about federal regulations. A joint enforcement agreement also would
allow N.C. Marine Patrol officers to charge fishermen with minor federal offenses, and adjudicate those charges through state district court. For more information, contact N.C. Marine
Patrol Col. Jim Kelley at 252-808-8130 or
Jim.M.Kelley@ncdenr.gov.
RALEIGH – Results of a recent study show
that coastal habitat enhancement programs
managed by the state fisheries agency provide
$4 in benefits for every $1 invested in the
coastal region.
The Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary
Partnership contracted with RTI International to
study the benefits and costs of three programs
under the state Division of Marine Fisheries:
the Shellfish Rehabilitation Program, Oyster
Sanctuary Program and Artificial Reef Program.
The study focused on how these programs
benefit and contribute to communities in the
region. According to the report, the programs generate economic benefits in numerous categories.
Between 2010 and 2015, with just over $20
million in government and private investments,
North Carolina restoration and habitat enhancement activities supported over 500 acres of
habitat and provided benefits that included
commercial fishing, shellfish harvesting, recreational fishing, water quality improvement and
shoreline stabilization. Cost-benefit analysis
showed returns that ranged from $2 to more
than $12 for every dollar invested.
Over that same time period, increases in commercial fishing alone supported 696 jobs, generated $32 million in revenue to North Carolina
businesses and added $13 million to household
income.
Previous studies also show that grant funding
of just over $5 million for coastal restoration
in oyster sanctuary
sites created more
than 50 jobs, generated $7.9 million
in revenue to North
Carolina businesses
and added $1.9
million to household income.

Your Health
Celebrate Employee Health and Fitness Month by Making One Change
May is Global Employee Health and Fitness
Month. The calendar I use to track health-related
observances notes that this month is to encourage employers from all sectors to promote fitness
by encouraging physical activity for employees
and their families.
The website for the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention notes that offering
your employees healthy options improves staff
morale, increases productivity, reduces stress,
improves health and a sense of well-being, and
decreases health care costs.
Greene County Health Care offers employees
opportunities for good health. The administrative
building has a workout room and employees take
short walks when weather allows. Organization
wide, we have break rooms that allow us to
bring food from home rather than opting for
higher-calorie and fattier takeout meals.
I’ve walked the 37 steps from my office to the
workout room. Yes, I’ve counted them, but I’ve
not actually walked in and worked out.
I keep meaning to use the equipment in the
exercise room. And I keep meaning to take my
co-workers up on their kind offers to join them
during their walks. But you know what they say
about the road paved with good intentions.
So this is my bottom line: this is on me.
Employee Health and Fitness Month is great.
And I for one appreciate everything Greene
County Health Care does to encourage me to
practice healthy behaviors, including eating well
and exercising. But again, this is on me.
I have to choose an apple, not a doughnut. I
have to choose water, not a soda. And I have to
choose to take a walk, not veg out watching my
latest TV show binge.
But that’s OK because I can do this, and so
can you. I’m going to fail. And I’m going to succeed. The most important part of this process is
that I’m going to try – every day.
Here’s where my journey begins: I’m 5’ 2” tall
and I weigh 157 pounds. That means my Body
Mass Index (BMI) is 28.7. BMI is the calculation health organizations use to determine if a
person is underweight, of normal weight, overweight or obese.
So my BMI is 28.7. That means I fall in the
range of 25-29.9. I’m overweight. Well, sit me
down, I’m stunned. I didn’t need a number to tell
me that. I see it when I look in the mirror every
day.
By carrying around those extra 21 pounds, I
increase my chances of diabetes, heart disease
and stroke, just to name a few.
So join me in getting healthier. I’ll keep you
updated on my progress and I’d love for you to
do the same. Email me, call me. Write me a letter. Please just let me know your progress as you
start your journey to good health.

Commentary
Supporting Our Military - For a Price
I got quite a shock recently
involving the Pentagon (no surprise there) and the NFL (now
Maureen Donald that I think of it - no surprise
The Editor’s Desk there either). That said, maybe
“shock” is too strong a word but
this one really got me. See what you think.
The Department of Defense doled out as much as $6.8 million in
taxpayer money to professional sports teams to honor the military at
games and events over the past four years. Who would have thought
...
Arizona Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake began looking into
the Defense Department’s spending of taxpayer dollars on military
tributes after they discovered the New Jersey Army National Guard
paid the New York Jets $115,000 to recognize soldiers at home
games.
Now I ask you - should we be paying our very rich sports teams to
honor our military? Come to think of it - rich really shouldn’t matter just makes it a tad more despicable.
The 145-page report revealed that 72 of the 122 professional sports
Making Sense of Investing
You might work diligently
at building a financial roadmap for your retirement
years and a comprehensive estate plan. But you can’t just create these
strategies – you also have to communicate them.
Specifically, you need to inform your spouse and your grown children what you have in mind for the future – because the more they
know, the fewer the surprises that await them down the road.
Let’s start with your spouse. Ideally, of course, you and your
spouse should have already communicated about your respective
ideas for retirement and have come to an agreement on the big
issues, such as when you both plan to retire, where you’ll live
during retirement, and what you want to do s retirees (volunteer,
travel, work part time and so on).
But what you both might have let slip through the cracks are
the important specifics related to financing your retirement. You’ll
need to answer several questions, including these:
• When will you each start taking Social Security?
• Are there strategies for maximizing both of your Social
Security payments?
• When will you need to start tapping into your respective retireDan M. Roberts, IV

contracts analyzed contained items deemed “paid patriotism” (doesn’t
that just bring out your pride in America) — the payment of taxpayer
or Defense funds to teams in exchange for tributes like NFL’s “Salute
to Service.” Honors paid for by the DOD were found not only in the
NFL, but also the NBA, NHL, MLB and MLS which proves government bribery doesn’t discriminate based on the sport.
“Given the immense sacrifices made by our service members, it
seems more appropriate that any organization with a genuine interest
in honoring them, and deriving public credit as a result, should do
so at its own expense and not at that of the American taxpayer,” the
report states. Again I ask - you think?
“Americans deserve the ability to assume that tributes for our men
and women in military uniform are genuine displays of national pride,
which many are, rather than taxpayer-funded DOD marketing gimmicks,” the report said.
Overall, 50 teams across the five major professional leagues had
contracts with the military, including 18 NFL teams that received
more than $5.6 million over the four-year span. Ten MLB teams took
nearly $900,000, and eight teams each from the NBA and MLS had
similar contracts. Six NHL teams received money, and the Air Force
ment accounts, such as your IRA and 401(k)? And, once you do
start withdrawing from these accounts, how much should you take
out each year?
You may want to work with a financial professional to address
these issues, but however you proceed, you and your spouse need
to be “on the same page” regarding the key financial components
of your retirement.
Now, consider your grown children. You need to clearly communicate your estate plans to them, not only for the sake of openness and honesty, but also because they may well play active roles
within those plans. So when talking to your children, make sure
you cover these areas:
• Durable power of attorney – You may well decide to give one
of your grown children the durable power of attorney to pay bills
and make financial choices on your behalf if you are unable to do
so.
• Estate executor – An executor is the person or entity you
name in your will to carry out your wishes. An executor has a
variety of responsibilities, so you’ll want to choose someone who
is honest and capable of dealing with legal and financial matters.
Again, you could ask a grown child to serve as your executor, but,
to avoid potential conflict of interests among your children, you

Hunting for jobs online can help
you find great opportunities, but
remember that job seekers and employers may not be the only
ones exploring the listings.
Scammers target legitimate job search websites like Indeed,
LinkedIn, Monster, CareerBuilder, and Craigslist because they
offer access to huge pools of users—including their money and
personal information.
To spot fraudulent job opportunities and avoid scams during
your job search:
• Choose the right job sites. Ask trusted friends, colleagues,
and mentors for their recommendations and check out
career websites through the Better Business Bureau. If
you’re looking for leads in a particular field, try checking
job postings through reputable industry groups and professional organizations.
• Share your information carefully. If you post your résumé
and qualifications online, think carefully about which
personal details and contact information you include.
•
•
•
The information you provide will be available to anyone
who visits the site. Never provide details like your Social
Security Number to a prospective employer until you’re
sure they’re legitimate.
Avoid phony job postings. Before pursuing a job you found
online, make sure that the listing and company are authentic. Some phony job postings are attempts to steal your
personal information, while others are for jobs that turn out
to involve you sending money or packages to fraud rings.
Be especially cautious about jobs advertised as personal
assistant, office manager, tutor, nanny, sales representative,
or secret shopper. Say no to upfront fees. Be skeptical if you’re told you must
pay a fee to get or apply for a job. Also, be cautious about
training and education programs that you’re told will lead
to a job. Before you pay for job training, check with your
local Community College to see what courses and training
programs are available.
Think twice about jobs that sound too good to be true. For
example, job postings that promise easy money working
from home can sound like the perfect fit, but may not be
legitimate. Jobs that promise amazing pay but require you
to spend a lot of your own money upfront and can wind up

Facts You Should Know About Smoking
The American Cancer Society is available 24 hors a day, 7
days a week. Why? One goal is to provide cancer information and various resources, giving you an answer to your many
questions. For example, read these facts as presented by the
American Cancer Society
“When Smokers Quit”
Within 20 minutes of smoking that last cigarette, your body
begins a series of changes that go on for years.
20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate and blood pressure
drop. (Mahmud A.; Feely, J., Effect of Smoking on Arterial
Stiffness and Pulse Pressure Amplification, Hypertension. 2003;
41:183).
12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your
blood drops to normal. (US Surgeon General Report, 1988, p.
202).
2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your blood circulation improves and your lung function increases. (US Surgeon
General’s Report, 1990, pp. 193, 194, 196, 285, 323).
1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing and shortness of breath
decrease, the tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of
the lungs start to regain their normal function. (US Surgeon
General’s Report, 1990, pp. 285-287, 304)
1 year after quitting: The excess risk of heart disease is half
that of someone who still smokes. (US Surgeon General’s
Report, 2010, p. 359).

5 years after quitting: The risk of cancer of the mouth,
throat, esophagus, (swallowing tube), and bladder is cut in half.
Cervical cancer risk falls to that of a non-smoker. Stroke risk
can fall to that of a non-smoker after 2-5 years. (A report of
the Surgeon General, 2010 and IARC Handbooks of Cancer
Prevention, Vol. 11, 2007, p. 341).
10 years after quitting: The risk of dying from lung cancer is
about half that of a person who is still smoking. The risk of cancer of the larynx (voice box) and pancreas decreases. (A Report
of the Surgeon General, 2010 and US Surgeon General’s Report,
1990, pp. vi, 155, 165).
15 years after quitting: The risk of heart disease is that of a
non-smoker’s. (IARC Handbooks of Cancer Prevention, Vol. 11,
2007, p. 11).
As we conclude this article, we must give consideration to
these facts presented in The American Cancer Society’s article:
“When Smokers Quit.”
Quitting smoking also lowers the risk of diabetes, lets blood
vessels work better, and helps the heart and lungs. Quitting while
you are younger will reduce your health risks more, but quitting
at any age can give back years of life that would be lost smoking.
So if you smoke, Quit T-O-D-A-Y!!

paid more than $1.5 million to NASCAR.
The Pentagon’s decision to spend money on such activities is
more than a little bizarre aonsidering that in 2014, the National
Guard simultaneously spent millions on professional sports ads
while requesting more funding from Congress to fill a $100 million
“shortfall” to pay troops and conduct training. Let’s see - what’s more
important here?
Asked if soldiers knew the Pentagon had paid teams for these sorts
of tributes, McCain said: “I’ve only talked to a few of them, but the
ones we did talk to, obviously they did not know.”
But DOD “still cannot fully account for the nature and extent of
paid patriotism activities” - there’s a surprise. McCain and Flake
pointed out that more than a third of the contracts in the report were
not DOD discoveries but were instead unearthed by their own offices.
The department’s “lack of internal controls for awarding, managing,
and overseeing these contracts put them at excessive risk for waste,
fraud, and abuse,” the report said.
By the way, since the report was published, the NFL decided to
give back $700,000 the league received to honor our military.
Bully for you - in case you were wondering, that was sarcasm.
Don’t Keep Family in the Dark About Your Plans
might want to go outside the family. Talk with an attorney about
how best to name your executor.
• Status of will and living trust – Assuming you have already
drawn up a will, share it with your grown children. The same is
true with a living trust, a popular estate-planning tool that may
allow your survivors to avoid going through the time-consuming,
public and expensive process of probate. A will and a living trust
will obviously contain a great deal of information your children
should know about – so take the time to explain your thinking
when you created these documents.
You want to enjoy a comfortable retirement, and you want to
leave a meaningful legacy through your estate plans. To help
accomplish both these goals, you need to include your loved ones
in your arrangements – so open those lines of communication.

costing you more than you’ll ever make.
Be skeptical if you’re asked to wire money. If the job
involves getting a large check in the mail from a potential
employer and then cashing it and wiring the money back,
don’t do it. These positions are often advertised as secret
shopper jobs where you’re told you’ll be rating a money
transfer service. The checks are fake, and any money you
send comes out of your own funds.
• Be wary of credit check requests. Employers often ask
new or potential employees to undergo a credit check, and
scammers know this. If you must give personal financial
information, make sure that the site hosting the credit check
is legitimate. If not, scammers could use the credit check to
steal your bank account information and charge you unexpected fees.

On Sunday, many of the members of Pamlico United Methodist
Church ate lunch at Charlie’s Restaurant to celebrate Pastor Mike
Roach’s upcoming birthday. It was nice to see so many of his
congregation at this fellowship dinner. They are blessed to have
him as their pastor and this was their opportunity to bless him and
his wife in return.
Galilee United Church of Christ had a good church service on
Sunday as well. Reverend Antonio “Ron” King brought the message in a powerful way. Broad Creek UCC and Galilee UCC are
blessed to have him as their pastor. Their fifth Sunday Fellowship
Union will be at Small Chapel UCC May 27-29.
Speaking of Broad Creek UCC, they will have their
Homecoming on June 4-5. This is always a special time for this
historic church. Broad Creek UCC is the oldest African-American
Church in Pamlico County and Eastern North Carolina and one of
the oldest churches in the Eastern Atlantic Conference. Pamlico

This coming weekend is Memorial Day weekend. I fondly
remember the late Minister Edward James Hamilton of Pamlico, a
24 year veteran of the US Army who served in three wars: World
War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. He was the one
veteran from Pamlico County chosen to have a bronze sculpture of
his hand on display at the North Carolina Veterans Park Museum
in Fayetteville, NC.
In Bayboro, there will be a service at the courthouse on
Memorial Day to honor those veterans from Pamlico County.
Another Pamlico County Veteran I knew of was Wilbur Gaskill of
Bayboro. I was named for his wife, Josephine Riggs Gaskill.

it is one of the sweetest little communities around, and there are
wonderful people residing there. If I remember the Pamlico history, the oldest church in the county is in Stonewall. My neighbor MeLydia Edge came over on Sunday and hooked
my printer to my new laptop. She needs to hang out her shingle
because she really knows her stuff when it comes to computers,
tablets and smart phones. God puts people where they are needed

Board of Education Congratulates FAA’a First Tee Team
During the May meeting of the Pamlico Board of Education,
Fred A. Anderson Elementary (FAA) School’s First Tee Golf
Team was recognized for their recent participation in the First
Tee Championships. The FAA team won 2nd place in the
Championship games and Mya Smith won 1st place in the
girls’ division.
The First Tee National School Program introduces the game
of golf and The First Tee Nine Core Values (honesty, integrity,
sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment) and Nine Healthy Habits (energy,
play, safety, vision, mind, family, friends, school, and community) to elementary students during physical education classes.
Currently introduced into thousands of elementary schools, this
school golf program creates an environment where students are
introduced to the lifelong sport while learning the basic golf
skills and the values of the game. The First Tee Program was
first implemented at FAA
in 2012.
Accepting the team
award was Roger
Stewart, FAA Physical
Education teacher, who
works closely with the
First Tee program curriculum to develop students’
core values, healthy
habits and golfing skills.
Congratulations to the
golf team, Mya and Mr.
Stewart!

Dunnebacke Receives Rotary Student of the Month Award
During the May meeting of the Pamlico Board of Education,
Pamlico County Middle School (PCMS) student, Nicholas
Dunnebacke, received the Oriental Rotary Student of the Month
award. Each month, this recognition is bestowed upon students
who exhibit scholastic achievement, leadership, honesty, community service, teamwork, and empathy, among other notable characteristics.
Nicholas has been selected as the PCMS Rotary Student of the
Month because he is a well-rounded student. He strives to do his
best in all of his classes. He is well liked by teachers and fellow
classmates. Nicholas is a member of Junior Beta Club, Book Club
and the Track team at PCMS and also plays baseball for the recreation department.
Students are selected for the award based on the Rotary FourWay Test, which has been used around the world since 1943. It
states, “Of the things we think, say or do: 1) Is it the TRUTH?,
2) Is it FAIR to all concerned?, 3) Will it build GOODWILL and
BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?, and 4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned?” To further commemorate this honor, the Rotary Club
will place a plaque displaying the name of each recipient of this
prestigious award at each school.

Pamlico Students Complete LIFT Core Skills Training
Study Skills, Conflict
Resolution, Interviewing Skills,
and Personal Finance are essential skills that teens need to
succeed, and LIFT (Leadership
Information for Tomorrow),
the local youth leadership program administered by Hodges
Education Foundation, recently
completed its core skills training initiative, serving Pamlico
County’s upper grade students.
During this school year,
Pamlico County Middle School
8th graders and Arapahoe
Charter School’s 8th-10th
grades received Study Skills
training, and Pamlico County
High School students recently
completed sessions in Study
Skills, Conflict Resolution,
Interviewing Skills, and Personal
Finance. Completion of these
courses will be noted on the
students’ transcripts -- a valuable
asset when applying for scholarships, colleges, and jobs.
Response from school administrators was positive: Chris
Meadows, PCHS Principal, said
of the training, “The presenters were energetic, passionate, and
spoke WITH our students, not TO them. There was meaningful
conversations in each of the classes that I visited, and the feedback I received has been
extremely positive from
teachers and students.”
Dennis Sawyer, ACS
Administrative Director
added that the training
was “an awesome opportunity for our students.
We sincerely appreciate
the leadership and collaborative to make this happen.” Jeremy Johnson,
PCMS Principal, commented, “We are very grateful to the Hodges
Foundation and the LIFT program for sponsoring Study Skills
training for our 8th grade students. These sessions were high-energy and really engaged all of our students. The information was
timely and spot-on.”
Hodges Education Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization, founded in 2003 by Richard and Patricia
Hodges of Oriental, whose mission is “Preparing Pamlico County
youth to be successful in a competitive employment market by
providing supplemental education and training to enhance their
personal development.” Donations are needed to sustain the program, and are accepted at www.pamlicoleaders.org.

2nd Graders from Arapahoe Charter School
Plant Butterfly Garden at Camp Caroline
The day was full for Mrs. Harper’s second graders
when they traveled to Camp Caroline for a field trip.
They planted a butterfly garden, paddled in canoes
around Dawson’s Creek, played basketball in the
Jack and Gladys Community Building, walked on
nature trails, listened to Casey Perry’s science lesson,
and ate lunch in the camp cafeteria. Love offerings
from Bethany Christian Church helped defray some
of the costs. Here are a few of the thank you notes
from the students (with minor grammatical alterations).
“Thank you for everything you did for us to go
to Camp Caroline. The people that go there sound
nice.” “Thank you very much for paying (for) the
lunch. It was
better than
our school’s
lunch. I can’t
thank you so
much.””Thank
you for donating money so
Toting the plants for the butterfly garden.

“Thank you for sending our donation. Thank you for letting us

I loved canoeing and playing in the gym.”

Field day at ACS has become a time honored annual tradition.
The P.E. Department plans activities across grade levels over

events at their camp.
On Wednesday, May 11 and Thursday, May 12 Camp Seafarer
opened and staffed several activities throughout the morning and
more traditional Field Day activities were held in the afternoon.
The school’s Cafeteria Staff provided lunch for everyone on site.
The annual 7th and 8th Arapahoe Charter School grade
prom, a masquerade ball, was held on Friday, May 13,
2016, at the Shrine Club just outside Arapahoe on NC
HWY 306.
Thirty-five students arrived in their prom best for
three hours of great music spun by DJ Neil Callahan, of

Charles and Sarah Hardison, of C & S Photography.
This year’s Seventh Grade Prom Prince was Tre’veon
Barber, Prom Princess was Jossel Gonzalez-Garcia.
The Eighth Grade Prom King was Cameron Wright

A wonderful time was had by all!

Farmers Take Lead in Developing New Product
Lead almost entirely by farmers from eastern
North Carolina, a substantial part of the required
funds for establishing the North Carolina
Industrial Hemp Commission has been met.
A certified check in the amount of $150,000
was handed over by Bio-Regen Innovations and
a certified check in the amount of $50,000 from
North Carolina Industrial Hemp Association
to Commissioner Troxler to initiate the long
awaited establishment of the NC Hemp
Commission.
According to SB313 that became law
October 31 of 2016, the NC Hemp Commission
is to “establish an agricultural program to
grow or cultivate industrial hemp in the State.”
Furthermore, “the Commission shall not meet
or undertake any of its powers and duties under
this Article until it has obtained funding from
sources other than State funds of at least two
hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) to support
operations of the Commission.”
“Farmers funded more than 75% if not more
of the required money, and are excited to spearhead this new industry in North Carolina,” said
coop farmer member Fen Rascoe of Windsor,
NC.
Bert James, native farmer and Bio-Regen’s
Director of Farmer Relations, stated that “with
over 100,000 available acres and growing, our
coop offers prime real estate with ideal soils
and climate for the hemp market to thrive.”
James went on to say that “our state also has a
diverse climate that will provide seed breeders
an optimal environment for adapting their seed
to a variety of environmental conditions.”
As a regional agriculture cooperative focused
on making its home state the “gold standard of
industrial hemp.” Rascoe went on to say that
“he is proud to have helped Bert James raise
the necessary money to fund the commission
from Eastern North Carolina farmers and hopes
that Industrial Hemp will present an economic
boom in an otherwise flailing commodity market and economically depressed area of the
state.”
According to Vote Hemp, there are at least
12 states with active industrial hemp pilot programs. The advocacy organization’s President,
Eric Steenstra stated that he is “very excited to
see NC moving forward with the development
of a hemp program under the Farm Bill. The
state’s robust agricultural infrastructure definitely positions North Carolina as a potential
industry leader.”
President and founder of WV Hemp Farmers
Cooperative, Morgan Leach stated that their
coop is excited to work with Bio-Regen. “In
accordance with cooperative principle 6 ‘cooperation among co-operatives,’ we are excited
to learn from each other and establish a regional peer-to-peer innovation strategy that establishes inter-state trade protocols well ahead of
the federal-bureaucratic curve.”
Noting that “while remaining completely
within established federal guidelines,” Leach
went on to say “we are developing our partnership within international cooperative guidelines. Our regional vision is set on the future.”
