Chance of precipitation is 40%. weekly horoscope Aries (March 21-April 19) Many things are happening that impact your sign right now. However, two things are significant. One is that this is an excellent year to improve your health. It is also the best year since 2004 to improve your job, or get a better job, or get a better attitude to your existing job. It could be any of these options because the result will simply be that you will be happier doing what you do! And you will also probably make more money! Therefore, if you are unhappy in your job - find a different one. It’s important to pull this part of your life together because the other significant influence right now is preparing you for a career peak in 2018-19. At that time, you will feel proud of your achievements! You will clearly see what is working, and what is not. Bravo! Taurus (April 20-May 20) There are several messages from the universe coming to you right now. One of the most obvious is that this is your time to play! This is a great year for a fun vacation. Even if you already took a vacation - plan another because it won’t be as easy to slip away and have fun next year. Some of you will augment your family through children and adoption. All of you will enjoy playful times with kids. This is also a great year for romance, love affairs and exploring the arts as well as sports. The only downside is that you might have to tighten your belt, financially speaking because the help and assistance you previously received has diminished. In other words, you are now forced to stand on your own two feet because you cannot count on the resources of others. One final note: Until August, be patient with partners and close friends to avoid conflict. Gemini (May 21-June 20) This is a significant time because Saturn is opposite your sign. This year it bounced back and forth but essentially, it’s the first time since 1987-88 that you have experienced this. Frankly, it is discouraging. When Saturn opposes your sign, you often experience adversities. You feel physically tired and world-weary. Your ambitions are often thwarted by others. But in a way, you are rounding the Cape, and after this year, you will go forward to meet new opportunities for success. Do not begin anything new - not just now. Take time to catch your breath. Instead focus on increasing your wealth and assets in real estate and home; and perhaps even expanding your family. Right now, the real gold is with home and family. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Some people feel solid with what’s happening in their lives; but it’s not so easy for you right now, is it? This doesn’t mean that you’re going off the rails, but things are nebulous and uncertain. One thing that is certain is that you are more in touch with your spiritual values and your spiritual world than you have been in other years. Factoid. This is important because whatever is going on “inside” ultimately manifests externally, right? Many of you are in a two-year window (2015 to 2018) where you might change jobs or change residences or do both. This is because you are now completing a journey you started on in 2010, which is to reinvent yourself. That’s why you have these moments of feeling all dressed up with no place to go. Don’t worry - this feeling is temporary. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) This is a feisty, energetic time because Mars is in your sign until August. Use this to get a lot done. If possible, do more physical exercise to burn off some of this pent-up energy, which might otherwise leak out as aggression. (Boo!) This is a time when you are thinking hard about your values and what really matters in life. As you ponder your values, these questions will arise: How should I earn money? What is the best job for me? How much money do I really need? But you will also wonder what it is that really makes you happy. Meanwhile, Jupiter guarantees that this is a popular year for you! Join clubs, classes, groups and associations because all your interactions with others will not only be enjoyable - they will benefit you. ‘Nuff said. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This is a significant time in your life because Saturn is in your sign. It entered your sign last year for the first time since 1987-88. In fact, if you hearken back to that time, you will get a hint of what is going on now, which is basically that you have set off on a new journey! Not only might you be in a new country, a new job, a new relationship - whatever - you are also in the process of redefining who you are. So this is big stuff. Meanwhile, back in the arena, lucky, moneybags Jupiter is at the top of your chart promoting your reputation in the eyes of others. You look fabulous! This is your year to put your name up in lights. Everyone loves you! Cancer (June 21-July 22) This is a low-key month because you are waiting for your birthday to arrive. This means that you can use this time to plan what you want your new year to be all about. One thing is certain, you are busting your buns working hard to keep it all together and prove to others what you can do. Fortunately, you’re happy! This year it’s easy to have an optimistic attitude about life. You see that contentment, tolerance and kindness to others makes your life easier. Not only do these qualities ensure a greater peace of mind for you, they also are the causes, which ripen into favourable circumstances for you in your future because after all, what goes around, comes around. Enjoy your daily interactions with others. Enjoy times with siblings and relatives because late this year and next year, you will focus on home and real estate. Oh yeah. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Two contradictory things are happening in your life, which is curious, really. Jupiter wants you to expand your world. This is why you want to travel, see new places, seek out adventure, and meet people from other countries and different cultures. You want to get the most out of life that you can! Some of you are getting more education and training and expanding your world that way. Others will make headway with publishing, the media, medicine and the law. This is all very good! However, at the same time, you are in a three-year window where you are downsizing, shrinking and letting go of things. In particular, you are letting go of what is no longer relevant. You’re giving up places, people, jobs and perhaps even countries. Scary, isn’t it? Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) At this stage in your life, you’re wondering about your future. Mostly, this is because you’re not exactly sure what it is you want to do. In a vague way, of course, you know what you are going to do to keep a roof over your head. But down deep, you are plumbing the depths of your being to find out what really inspires you. What will be your next big goal? Ironically, this year you have been able to boost your income and can continue to do so. (Go figure.) And while money is handy when you want to buy things, it’s not the end all be all, is it? In the month ahead, increased activity and chaos at home will require your patience. Naturally, you want things to run smoothly because your home is your castle. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your ambition will be strong this summer. Oh yeah! This is good news because it helps you to set big plans in motion and accomplish what you want to do. Your secret is that others will help you now! This is the year to get a loan or a mortgage. Ask for assistance! You can ask for the use of things that other people own because basically, you will benefit from the resources of others at this time. Use this to your advantage because it will not always be this easy. The other thing to be aware of is not to spread yourself too thin. Everyone wants a piece of you right now because you are looking great! But hey - you have allegiance to your own needs and wants. Don’t sell yourself short. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) At this point in your life, it’s important to feel secure about where you live. You want to solidify your home base so you don’t worry about it anymore. This is why some of you might move again even though you moved recently. It is also why you might repair and fix up where you live because the bottom line is you want a refuge - a base from which you can sally forth to conquer the world. Fortunately, lucky Jupiter has been in your sign since last year and will stay there until mid September. This is fantastic good fortune! It makes you believe in yourself; and it attracts favourable situations and opportunities to you. It also signals that you are at the beginning of a new 12-year cycle of growth. Fear not: When it leaves your sign in September, it enters your House of Earnings, which means that next year you’ll earn more money! Not too shabby. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) This is a tremendous year for you! (Buy all the shoes you want.) For starters, it’s a fantastic year for warm friendships and your ability to deal with members of the general public. It’s also a great year to get married. This is a blessing because the support of friendships affects your happiness level. Relationships with others benefit you now! In addition to this favourable influence, Saturn is at the top of your chart signalling that this is your time of harvest. Now you see what is working, and what is not. Some of you will graduate or do something that makes you feel proud. Others will get a promotion. Yes, you will see failure in some areas - but just let that go. Work with what works. Use what you’ve got because you are carrying the baton. Now run with it!

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.

WEDNEsday, JUNE 01, 2016 History Flourishes Down the Garden Path The Gravy Boys Live on Stage in Oriental May blooms include delphinium, a gift from a NBHS member and coreopsis, given and planted by another volunteer • Heritage Plants Thrive, Bloom NEW BERN - Even though we are well into the 21st century, you can take a walk through the 19th century in the New Bern Historical Society’s Heritage Garden. Located behind the Attmore Oliver House at 511 Broad Street, this hidden treasure boasts blooms that would have been seen and enjoyed by our great, great grandparents. The garden, which is open to the public, is lovingly cared for by a volunteer group headed by Annette Hunt. She explains “All Volunteers Pat Shankle, Marge Foskit, Dottie Webb, Annette Hunt the plants in the garden are old plants, “pass along” plants that were popular the late 19th century. We have the original plant list of Livinia Cole Roberts, whose husband brought the original spider lily bulbs to her from Japan. We also have paperwhites from Mrs. Blades’ garden.” The heritage garden was begun in 2007 as a project to preserve some of the wonderful plantings that 19th century New Bernians cultivated. Landscape architect Jack Draft and horticulturist Rebecca Lucas drew up the plans. You’ll find the volunteers working each Monday morning to keep the garden beautiful. The growing things flourishing in this oasis can’t be found at the local garden center. The show presented by these wonderful plants is constantly changing. New blooms appear each day. The collection includes 15 heritage roses. The public is invited to come and take a leisurely stroll enjoying this charmRoses in bloom along with dianthus. ing garden path tucked away between Broad and Pollack streets. A recent visitor sent a note. “Yesterday I followed the charming garden path to the AttmoreOliver House. What a lovely oasis!” The mission of the New Bern Historical Society is to celebrate and promote New Bern and its heritage through events and education. Offices are located in the historic Attmore Oliver House at 511 Broad Street in New Bern. For more information, call 252-638-8558 or go to www. NewBernHistorical.org or www.facebook.com/NewBernHistoricalSociety. The Gravy Boys will perform August 13 at the Old Theater in Oriental. The Gravy Boys hail from Raleigh/Durham, NC and perform Acoustic Americana music that draws deep from the well of our country’s diverse musical heritage. Their high energy shows feature heartfelt vocal harmonies, boot-stomping rhythms, lively stage banter, and honest musicianship. The Gravy Boys are story tellers who spin their tales through tight, brother-duet vocals over a vintage acoustic backdrop. They take classic American themes and bring them into the present day, with an authentic passion that resonates with all who listen. They have released several CDs of their original music. Tickets will be on sale starting July 15 at Nautical Wheelers, 411 Broad St., Oriental, on-line via the Old Theater website <http://www.oldtheater.org/> http://www.oldtheater.org/ and at the box office on performance night. A review from Chris Dunbar of Raleigh Music Industry Association: “The Gravy Boys put on the type of show that travels from laidback to fierce, a dynamic set to keep any crowd on its toes. There were those in attendance completely familiar with every word and every note that flowed through. but there were also many new fans that became converted believers in the power of Gravy.” A review from Triangle Beat: “The show with The Gravy Boys provides boot-stompin’ fun with vocal harmonies and lively banter. With three of the bandmates being brothers, the boisterous jeering comes naturally, and makes the audience feel like they’re at a family gathering. Crowding around one condenser mic, the band’s strong musicianship and engaging harmony is evident. The group’s talents mesh together intricately, but they are equally able to spotlight individual talents, taking turns soloing on the mandolin, guitar, harmonica, and bass.” Box Office opens at 6:30 p.m. ~ Door opens at 7 p.m. ~ Concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20. Return of Award Winning Black Bear Festival No matter what age or interests a person has, almost everyone loves bears! It is a little known fact that the biggest black bears on the planet and the highest black bear densities in the world are not found in Canada or Alaska, but in coastal North Carolina! Mild winters, abundant crops and extensive forests and swamps are the reason that 700 lb. black bears are not uncommon. To recognize and celebrate our bears and educate our guests about this important North Carolina native, the historic Inner Banks town of Plymouth is hosting the 2nd annual North Carolina Black Bear Festival on June 3-5. Last year’s inaugural NC Black Bear Festival received 4 awards at the NC Festival & Events Association’s Showfest - including the Rising Star Award to the best festival in the State that is 5 years old or less. More than 7,000 people from 12 states and two foreign countries were on hand for the inaugural event. Everyone raved about the festival during and after the event. As a result, the town is now becoming known as Bear Town, NC. The NC Black Bear Festival activities this year will include everything from last year’s successful event plus many new activities. That means there will once again be black bear tours in the wild as well as captive bears for everyone to see. There will be the 5K “Run with the Bears”, the paddling event, beauty pageant, Storytelling: “Close Encounters of the Bear Kind”, Dan the Animal Man live music and fireworks. Returning children’s events include “Baby “Dress-Like-a-Bear” Contest” contest, free bear painting, make a plaster cast of a bear track, fossil dig for sharks teeth, a cane pole fishing contest, and the National Guard inflatable obstacle course. New events added this year include a classic car show, wooden boat show, more live music, a variety show, magic show, juggling, balloon twisting, “bear-foot” race, a bear cave maze, carnival rides, a 3-story tall inflatable tiger slide, and more. Food & craft venders and many conservation organizations will be attending as well. It will all be happening June 3-5 in Plymouth – “where traffic ends and adventure begins!” Local News WEDNESDAY, JUNE 01, 2016 Protect Your Family!

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about drugs - the legal kind, by the way. How can one help it given the number of drug commercials complete with calming voice-overs and images of puppies and beach houses, not to mention the almost iconic shot of a couple in bathtubs perched on a mountain a few years back. Some of these commercials are so well done, I’m not sure there aren’t some folks who wish they had the symptoms so they could have a bathtub with a great view. Yes, I know that’s the point of advertising - but we’re talking pharmaceuticals here, folks. And if you haven’t heard, there’s a wee bit of a problem with prescription drug abuse in this country right now. It seems to me advertising might be a contributing factor in our pill popping culture. According to Nielsen, which tracks advertising numbers, the largest 10 drug companies last year spent $2.7 billion on ads for Making Sense of Investing April showers may bring May flowers, but March is National Umbrella Month. While ranking high on the list of truly obscure celebrations, this “Month” can still teach us a few things – especially if we think about “umbrellas” that can help us protect our financial goals. Consider these key areas: • Your vulnerability to emergencies – It’s a good idea to maintain an emergency fund containing three to six months’ worth of living expenses. Without such a fund, you may need to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected, and unexpectedly large, expenses such as a new furnace or a big bill from the doctor. You’ll want to keep your emergency fund in a liquid, lowrisk account. • Your family’s financial situation – If something happened to you, how would your loved ones be affected? Would your family be able to stay in your house? Could your children eventually go to college? Would your surviving spouse have enough retirement income to maintain the lifestyle he or she has envisioned? Having adequate life insurance in place can help ensure that all your hopes and plans don’t fall apart upon your passing. Different types Dan M. Roberts, IV Financial Advisor TV, magazines, newspapers, radio and billboards. Honest. The world’s largest drug company, Pfizer, spent over $622 million on advertising last year. You probably know it better by brand names such as the ever-popular Viagra and pain drugs Celebrex and Lyrica and the slick television commercials aired what seems like every 30 seconds. Eli Lilly and its well known antidepressant Cymbalta and erectile dysfunction drug, Cialis, spent $433 million to convince consumers they needed one or both of the company’s “life-changing” medications (did I just say that?) Here’s my question - why? Ok we all know it’s about the money (aren’t most things these days?) but that doesn’t make it right. I always thought folks went to their doctor, described their symptoms and were prescribed the appropriate medications and treatment. Now I suspect more and more people are asking for specific drugs. I realize the call still lies with the doctors (it does, doesn’t it?) but I have to believe drug companies have done a tad of research prior to dropping millions on reaching the average consumer. That said, what are the results? My worst scenario on the topic is that the onslaught of drug advertising is leading many Americans to adopt “a pill can solve everything” philosophy. The of life insurance offer different features. For example, “term” insurance, as its name suggests, is designed to provide a death benefit for a certain number of years. On the other hand, “permanent” insurance, such as whole life or universal life, can be kept in force indefinitely. This type of coverage may also offer a cash value component. • Your current income — If an illness or injury keeps you out of work, even for a little while, the loss of income could disrupt your family’s ability to pay its bills, leading to potentially big problems down the road. Your employer may offer some type of disability insurance as an employee benefit, but the coverage may be insufficient. So you may want to consider purchasing an individual disability policy. • Your ability to live independently – If you’re fortunate, you may never need to spend time in a nursing home or require any other type of long-term care. But no one can predict the future – and it pays to be prepared, because long-term care costs can be catastrophic. In fact, the annual average cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $90,000, according to the 2015 Cost of Care Survey produced by Genworth, a financial services company. A financial professional can help you find an appropriate way of paying for these types of costs. • Your capacity to protect your biggest assets – Your home is Opinion: Cultural Traits Not So Memorable From an acknowledged curmudgeon’s perspective, how a culture celebrates holidays could be a way to define that culture. In the US of A, the birth of the Messiah Earl Greentree is first acknowledged on the PBS program Nightly Business Report where economic indicators for the Christmas season detail the future of the big box stores. Local newscasts often focus on visits of Santa Claus to shopping centers. Then comes Easter, which logic ally should be a Memorial Day of the grandest sort considering that Memorial Day celebrates the ultimate sacrifice. A bunny rabbit and spring break in Fort Lauderdale play big in this celebration. Then there is the ecumenical Memorial Day to pay tribute to the fallen in service to this country. It is heralded as the first day of summer with the Nightly Business Report focusing on gas prices for the weekend as travelers head to the beaches. This is the culture that has a presumptive nominee of a major political party acknowledging he was looking forward to the housing bubble to burst so he could buy low and sell high, no regard for the human tragedies that ensued for individual families who lost their homes. Responding to criticism for that stance, he said that was good business practices that the country should adapt. A very wise man once said, “Just because it’s legal, doesn’t make it ethical.” Aside from all that, there are those who place flags in National Cemeteries for this weekend and there is the Memorial Day concert hosted by PBS every Sunday of every Memorial Day. Perhaps these events fall too much in the shadow of the beginning of summer whereby a little subtropical low makes headlines for cutting into the profits of beach tourism. Perhaps one of the most most profound images shown in a Memorial Day tribute was the photo of a woman lying on the ground in a fetal position by a headstone in a national cemetery. On a different level, that could bring to mind the scene when women visited a tomb a couple of thousand years ago. Memorial Day honors the fallen, but can be to recognize those who were willing to fall. My friend Joe fixed radios in the field in Viet Nam. When I first heard that he lived in a barracks type accommodations and just flew in a helicopter out into the field to fix radios, I was almost lulled into thinking that wasn’t too bad a tour. Reality check, Joe flew in a helicopter out to the front lines, if there was such as a thing as a line in the jungles and rice paddies. Helicopters were easy targets. My friend Harry was an air traffic controller at Da Nang. No, he was not safe either. Aircraft loaded with armaments often crashed, one missile barely missing the control tower. Memorial Day remembers. Memorial, the root word is memory. Memorial Day, not just to recall the memory, but to remember and honor the sacrifice. Let not the sacrifices be for a culture for which we are not proud. Those sacrifices should count for something.

And what of the doctors in all this? Are they swayed just a tad by the popularity of some well-advertised drugs? Let’s face it, there are only two reasons why well-advertised drugs sell more - either consumers are requesting and receiving them or doctors are recommending them. And at what price? Soaring drug costs are a concern (or should be) for lawmakers and their constituents, especially those on fixed incomes. One question is just how much is advertising on television and in the popular press contributing to these increased costs. An early analysis provided by the managed care industry for 1999 to 2000 reported that prescriptions written for the top 50 most heavily advertised drugs rose 24.6 percent, compared to 4.3 percent for all other drugs combined. With pressure to try to curb the increased costs of prescription medicine, lawmakers say they are taking a closer look at the implications of pricey advertisement programs. Personally I’ll believe this when I see it and I won’t bring up the word “lobbyist” - at least not in this column. Bottom line here seems simple - consumer prescription drug ads, like most advertisements, are intended to sell the product being advertised. These ads don’t necessarily educate consumers, but they certainly manipulate, create false impressions, and can very well mislead. The result is that patients want and request (and apparently get) medications that might be unnecessary or even harmful, helping to fuel an already over-medicated society. There’s a reason why we no longer advertise cigarettes and cocaine. I do, however, still want the bathtub. Is Your “Financial Umbrella” in Place? probably going to be the biggest asset you ever own – so you need to protect it properly, with adequate homeowners insurance. It’s also important to have sufficient insurance for your other major assets, such as your car, boat and so on. • Your exposure to property loss or liability – You may someday face costs associated with repairing or replacing your home, auto or boat, or even liability-related expenses. Additional liability insurance – known as an “umbrella” policy –is designed to kick in when your standard coverage on other policies, such as home or auto, has been exhausted. The sun may be shining in your life today, but it’s always wise to be prepared for the proverbial “rainy day.” So have your umbrellas ready.

How much thought have you given to what you would do if that occurred? Furthermore, if it’s you in the water, is your crew trained to handle the situation? There are a few things that should be done as soon as a person falls overboard. Any crewmember or passenger onboard that observes the incident should shout “man overboard” clearly and loudly enough for the vessel’s operator and all others to hear. On recreational vessels, due to their size, shouting “man overboard” is usually sufficient. On larger vessels where the operator is isolated from the passengers and crew, other means of notification will be required. Going to the bridge, or using a telephone or intercom may be the alternatives. As soon as possible after a person is spotted in the water, a buoyant device (anything that floats) should be thrown in the direction of the person overboard. Care should be taken to avoid hitting the person with the buoyant device. The object is to mark the spot and to give the person in the water something to hold onto. Another very important step is to assign a “pointer” who will keep their eyes focused on the person in the water, and their arm outstretched with their finger pointing in that direction. The “pointing” aspect of this is critical, since if you take your eyes off the person for a second, and they go under in that second, continuous pointing will get you back to the spot. The pointer also serves as a guide for the boat operator. Marking the spot is critical. Never make the assumption that the person in the water is a “good swimmer” or in “perfect shape.” Mark the spot anyway. The fall overboard may include a knock in the head on the way over, or the fall may be the result of some condition that could render the person in the water motionless. Unconscious people cannot swim. Keeping track of how far the buoyant device actually lands from the person who is in the water is also very important. If after turning the boat around, you cannot see the person in the water, they are likely to be under water. Remembering how far the buoyant device landed from the person in the water will help you find the person, if they are not visible above the water line later. If you have several people onboard, assignments can be distributed among them. However, there may be times when you are the only remaining person onboard, and all assignments will fall on your shoulders. If you have the additional help onboard, while on the way back to retrieve the person in the water, you can be getting a few things ready. In a cold-water situation, towels, dry clothing, blankets, etc. will be needed. A person in a life vest standing by to go into the water, if necessary, would be helpful. Cold water may render the person in the water unable to climb a boarding ladder without assistance from below. As you may have noticed, there are a lot of things to think about with respect to a man overboard situation. Next time you are out on the water, practice your man overboard procedures using a large fender or other suitable floating object. Until next time, we wish you clear skies, fair winds and calm seas!

MFC Adopts Stricter Crab Regulations MOREHEAD CITY – The North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission adopted stricter blue crab regulations at its meeting last week. The measures are meant to improve the condition of the state’s blue crab stock. Commercial and recreational crabbers should expect most of the regulations to take effect in early June. The commission voted to: • Require one additional escape ring (two are currently required) in crab pots, and one of the three rings must be located within one full mesh of the corner of the pot and within one full mesh of the bottom of the apron/stairs (divider) of the upper chamber of the pot. • Eliminate the harvest of v-apron immature female hard crabs (excluding peeler crabs); and include v-apron immature female hard crabs in the culling tolerance (the tolerance currently includes only sublegal male and immature female hard crabs). • Prohibit harvest of dark sponge crabs (brown and black) from April 1-April 30 each year; and include dark sponge crabs in the culling tolerance. • Lower the culling tolerance from 10 percent to 5 percent for all crabs, except mature females. • Prohibit crab harvest with dredges, except incidental to lawful oyster dredging as outlined in North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission Rule 15A NCAC 03L .0203(a)(2). The Division of Marine Fisheries will issue proclamations to implement the regulatory changes. All of the regulatory changes except the escape ring requirement will take effect June 6; the escape ring requirement will not take effect until Jan. 15, 2017 to allow fishermen to make this gear modification during an annual crab pot closure. The management action was required under Amendment 2 to the N.C. Blue Crab Fishery Management Plan, adopted by the commission in November 2013. The plan uses an adaptive management framework that requires annual evaluation of a Blue Crab Traffic Light, which consists of three biological indicators. If the indicators meet pre-determined thresholds, management changes are required. The annual evaluation this year found that a management threshold was exceeded. In other business, the commission: · Approved draft amendments to the Oyster and Hard Clam Fishery Management Plans for departmental and legislative review. · Directed division staff to meet with Wildlife Resources Commission staff, and bring joint recommendations to the August meeting to address problems with striped bass reproduction in the Neuse and Tar rivers; to expedite analysis of fin clip data on samples the division currently has; and to provide a method of determining if the native strain of striped bass still exists in the Neuse and Tar rivers. · Requested that the Conservation Fund Committee meet within 30 days to consider funding DNA testing of striped bass fin clips. · Requested that the division include crab pots in its blue crab sampling gear. · Requested that the division include various gears used by commercial fishermen in various areas in stock assessment sampling, and, when possible, work with commercial and recreational fishermen in the sampling process. · Requested that the commission chair send letters and emails to the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council chair and members expressing the commission’s support for including little tunny (false albacore) and Atlantic bonito in the list of Eco-system Component Species; and express the commission’s support for Alternative 2B of the Unmanaged Forage Omnibus Amendment to designate unmanaged forage species as Eco-system Component Species, and implement an incidental possession limit with a 1,700 pounds total cap and a 1,500 cap on individual species. The N.C. Coastal Federation and Second Wind Eco Tours in Swansboro are teaming up to offer one of their most popular excursions: a summer kayak and yoga trip on the White Oak River. The trip is planned for Saturday, June 11, and Saturday, August 13, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Paddlers will launch from the Cedar Point Recreation Area in the Croatan National Forest off N.C. 58 in Cedar Point. Depending on wind and tide, the paddle is usually a 20-30 minute trip suitable for beginning adult paddlers. The destination is Jones Island at the mouth of the White Oak River, which is a preserved island managed by Hammocks Beach State Park. Once on the island, participants will learn about conservation and restoration projects coordinated by the park and the federation. A yoga instructor will lead the group in a gentle yoga session under the shade of the island’s live oak trees. A swim from the island’s beach will prepare paddlers for the trip back to the Wildlife Landing. April Clark, owner of Second Wind Eco Tours, explained the benefit of teaming up with the federation. “Partnering with the Coastal Federation enhances the paddle experience for kayakers,” she said. “Providing education and advocacy to our trips adds value and is a smart way to ensure we can use these waterways for years to come.” Federation members get a special rate of $35 with kayak rental and $20 if they bring their own kayak. The nonmember price is $45 with kayak rental and $30 without kayak. Life jackets and paddles are provided with kayak rentals. Yoga mats are provided or bring your own. We recommend that you bring bottled water, a towel, a hat or visor, sun block, water shoes and sun glasses. Wear your bathing suit if you’d like to join in the swim. Reservations are required. To register you can call Second Wind at 910-325-3600, register online at secondwindecotours.com or email info@secondwindecotours.com. Commercial harvest of gray triggerfish in South Atlantic federal waters will reopen beginning 12:01 a.m. (local time) on June 13, 2016 until 12:01 a.m. (local time) July 1, 2016. The July through December fishing season reopens at 12:01 a.m. (local time) on July 1, 1016. A commercial trip limit of 1,000 pounds whole weight is in place for commercial harvest of gray triggerfish. A split fishing season has been established for commercial gray triggerfish which allocates 50 percent of the catch limit to January 1 through June 30, and 50 percent to July 1 through December 31. As a result, the commercial catch limit is divided into two equal seasonal catch limits of 156,162 pounds whole weight. NOAA Fisheries closed commercial harvest of gray triggerfish on April 2, 2016, as it was projected the January through June catch limit would be reached on that date. However, a landings update indicates the gray triggerfish catch limit has not yet been met and commercial harvest may reopen. If the commercial catch limit for the July through December 2016 season is projected to be met, NOAA Fisheries will announce the closure date.

Local News WEDNESDAY, JUNE 01, 2016 11 A Oops! 411 Broad St, Oriental 252-249-0359 Father’s Day - June 19th A minor mishap for Oriental Public Works Tuesday afternoon. Senator Jean Preston Memorial Park Opens CRZ™ RESIDENTIAL ZERO-TURN MOWER The Senator Jean Preston Memorial Park, located directly adjacent to the Emerald Isle Public Boating Access Area was officially opened on May 25. A special dedication ceremony, which would have been Senator Preston’s 81st birthday, was attended by a host of dignitaries and large public contingency. Pamlico County was well-represented by Sheriff Chris Davis and Commissioner Paul Delamar. Also on hand for the ceremony was NC Rep. Pat McElraft who currently represents Carteret and Jones counties. The Senator Jean Preston Memorial Park was completed earlier this month, at a cost of $275,000 – not including thousands of dollars worth of donated work and materials – off Highway 58, adjacent to Bogue Sound. Preston was first elected to the N.C. General Assembly in 1992 as a member of the House of Representatives and served seven terms before running for the state Senate in 2006. She served there until she retired from politics in 2012, representing Carteret, Craven and Pamlico counties. She died after a fall at home on Jan. 10, 2013. Right (R-L) Sheriff Chris Davis, Sgt. Steve Wallace, Rep. Pat McElraft, Commissioner Paul Delamar.

Our Schools WEDNESDAY, JUNE 01, 2016 Pamlico County Middle School 13 A A Lesson in Coastal Geology On Wednesday April 20, researchers Ethan Theuerkauf and Justin Ridge from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Institute of Marine Sciences presented lessons on coastal geology to Mrs. Mehring and Mrs. Holton’s classes. The researchers started with describing what a coastal geologist studies and gave a background on the different environments that we find in Coastal NC. The students participated in this portion of the lesson by identifying the environments and learning about what type of sediments make up the geologic record of these areas. Then the students were given samples of sediment from all over the world and they had to use what they learned to figure out where they came from. The last activity was to examine a sediment core collected in the North River and figure out what story the sediments told. It turns out that the core contained a record of changes in sea-level in coastal NC and there was evidence that over 20,000 years ago sea-level was much lower than it is presently! Giving Back This spring, the Jr. Beta Club at Pamlico Middle School had a fundraiser to donate money to the St. Jude Children’s Foundation. Each student was given a pamphlet of math problems that were to be completed. In this fundraiser, students were able to support a good cause while sharpening their math skills. This event ended with a huge success, the Beta Club raised a total of $1060. Raising this money helped contribute to cancer research, and gives kids hope at life. Future Scientists Participate in Festival Recently, Ms. Prendergast’s 6th grade science classes at Pamlico County Middle School participated in the NC Science Festival’s Invite a Scientist program for the third year in a row. This program matches scientists with NC teachers to visit classrooms and share their knowledge and experiences with students. This year, 48 students worked with Molly Albecker, a PhD candidate in Biology from ECU. The students learned about Ms. Molly’s research in biodiversity, and discussed what biodiversity is and why it is important. They then investigated the biodiversity that exists on The PCMS campus. It got a little messy as we donned boots and waders to explore the drainage ditch, but we were able to identify 10 different species that lived there! The students were excited to participate in a real world scenario and be scientists for a day. The knowledge they gained, and the hands-on experience they had made an impact on them. The goal is to get students interested and excited about science and the world around us. Music, Music, Music On May 19 the Pamlico County High School Auditorium hosted our annual Spring Concert. This concert not only featured our PCHS band, but opened with the 6th grade band followed by the combined 7th and 8th grade band. The concert was open to the public and our PCMS band did a great job. 7th Grade Book Club News “Best Wishes Stephen!! We Will Miss You” Bringing Back the Gold!

At the beginning of this school year, student’s at Pamlico County Middle School had the opportunity to participate in various clubs on campus. One new club in particular was the “Book Club”, not Oprah’s book club, but the PCMS Book Club consisting of four wonderful 7th grade students. They were Nicholas Dunnebacke, Oasis Lopez, Jenna Jones, and Jacob Vandzant . Mrs. Kim Prescott and her assistant Ms. Raymona Johnson made sure the students had a challenging novel to read, but one they would enjoy at the same time. “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” by Ransom Riggs is a story about a young man named Jacob who is on a mission to find out exactly who Miss Peregrine is, and why her existence is important to the peculiar children, and his late grandfather. The book club met every other Friday out of the month to discuss different chapter assignments, debate and discuss the literature, create activities to facilitate comprehension and give necessary feedback towards the next two novels in the series. The rewards for completing the first was a peculiar breakfast consisting of savory scared sausage biscuits and magical bacon sandwiches from a peculiar place called Hardee’s. The final assignment for book club members was to develop a connection title inspired by the 2nd novel “Hollow City.” Nicholas Dunnebacke took the lead as the writer, and his fellow club members helped input ideas, edit credits, and create character inspiration. The title of the eight page story is, “Grandpa’s Shotgun & Leo And The Desert of Loops” a spinoff that leads Jacob’s grandfather on a journey to help find his grandson and save the peculiar children.
