• Hospice to Host Community Day
The Bay River Metropolitan Sewer District’s
two-year rehabilitation process for the Town of
Oriental is hitting a few roadblocks - mainly from
Mother Nature.
The $2.2 million project jointly funded by the
state and the sewer district is raising manholes
and lift stations throughout the town in order to
prevent a repeat of the August 27 spill. That spill
released 15,000 gallons of untreated water into
two Oriental waterways causing North Carolina
officials to declare the beach and water of the
Neuse River not safe.
According to Oriental Town Manager Diane
Hospice will hold “Community Appreciation
Day” on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
featuring a special sale and refreshments. Hospice
is located at 602 Main St Bayboro.

Work sites are clearly marked but some residents are choosing
to ignore the warning.
Miller, about 80,000 gallons of water travels
through the system daily, but on August 27, extensive rain caused over a million to flood the system
causing the breach.
“Bay River has been working to complete
the work as soon as possible,” Miller said.
“Unfortunately, the weather simply isn’t cooperating. For that matter we could also use a bit more
cooperation from some residents.”
According to Miller, despite very clear signs
indicating road closures, some individuals insist
on driving through the construction site.
“It’s tough enough working around the weather,

Pamlico Schools Receive Passing Grade
By Deborah Dickinson
Pamlico News Staff
North Carolina’s second annual 2014-2015
school performance grades were presented to
the State Board of Education last week showing
that 72.2 percent of traditional public schools
earned grades of C or better, and 70.4 percent of
public charter schools received grades of C or
better and for the 10th consecutive year, North
Carolina’s four-year cohort high school graduation rate is up and is now at 85.4 percent. The
results are based on student performance, overall
student proficiency, student academic growth
and graduation rates.
Both Pamlico County Schools and Arapahoe
Charter School received a grade of C and made
significant improvements from last year.
Pamlico County’s elementary, middle and high
school each received a C rating. Pamlico County
Middle School exceeded growth, while Fred
A. Anderson met expected growth and the high
school did not meet expected growth but only
missed the mark by .53 (fifty three hundreds
of a point). As required by state legislation, the
School Performance Grades are based 80 percent
One Inch = 200 Feet
on the school's achievement score and 20
percent on students' academic growth in career,
college ready benchmarks and grade level
proficiency. According
to Sherry Meador,
Executive Director of
Instructional Services for
Pamlico County Schools
Pamlico School District,
Superintendent Lisa
Jackson
Pamlico Schools scored
higher than state averages in eight areas and saw significant gains from
last year in four areas. “We know that there are
areas we still need to improve on, we are always
trying to find better ways to teach our children
and move forward and our data is showing that
we are doing that. We want what is best for the
children ensure they are globally competitive,”
said Meador.
School Superintendent Lisa Jackson issued a
statement praising “significant gains in our middle school math, grades 5 and 8 science scores
and Biology and Math 1 scores.” Jackson also

Rotary Club Storage Building, Trailers Robbed
The Rotary Club of Oriental is a service
organization dedicated to helping our local
community. Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates the group’s contributions.
According to Edmund Yodlowski, President
of the Oriental Rotary Club, sometime in the
days prior to Monday, August 31st the storage building and tent rental trailers located on
White Farm Road were broken into. A significant number of items were stolen, including
items donated to our Nautical Flea Market and
electrical materials needed to support our Boat
Show and other fundraising activities. The
group is asking for the public’s help.
“Even though we cannot offer a reward, I am
asking that anyone who might have information
which can help us to recover these items please
contact either Police Chief Dwayne Moore at
249-0555 or me at 249-1979,” said Yodlowski.

Welcome to Mindset - a weekly column

“While it is disappointing to realize that there
are individuals in our midst who would steal
from a group that exists solely to help others, it is not the Rotary Club that was robbed
but rather all the citizens of Pamlico County
since the money that will be spent to replace
the stolen items would have been used to fund
scholarships and other youth service programs
supported by Rotary.”
Yodlowski added that even with this loss, the
Rotary Club of Oriental will continue to serve
our community. Even now, the group is making preparations for its annual barbecued chicken dinner to be held on the evening of October
17th and are expanding the event to include a
classic car show along the riverfront.
“With your loyal support, Rotary will continue its efforts to make positive changes in the
lives of our students and neighbors.”
Ol’ Front Porch Festival Slated for Oct. 17th
“Every day is a perfect
day for me when God
wakes me up each day,”
says Dorothy the Donut
Lady of the Deliverance
Temple Church in New
Bern, who helps to raise
money for a homeless
shelter.
“A warm, relaxing
afternoon on a dock on
the water at sunset,” is a
perfect day for Kerrilyn
Taylor an ECU student
from Merritt.
Bob Austin who resides in Virginia, but
spends time at his home in Oriental, says
that “a fair
breeze and
smooth
sailing
makes for
a perfect
day.”
A day
with low
humidity would
make the perfect day for Lydna Austin also
from Virginia. “It would make for a good
hair day,” she added.
Amanda Loftus, originally from England has
been living in Oriental
since the Spring. Her
perfect day would also
involve some cooler
temperatures. “An ideal
day for me would be to
get up on a Fall morning and have a nice cup of hot tea, put on
a coat and scarf and go out and explore the
outdoors,” said Amanda.
“Lots of fish and lower
humidity,” is what would
make an ideal day for
Dale Koch of Chapel Hill
who is visiting Oriental to
do some fishing.
Wallace Jones of Greenville who is visiting his sister in
Oriental said
“a perfect day
is out here on
the pier fishing and having
a good time
relaxing with
no troubles.”
Staff Reports
The Ol’ Front Porch Music Festival, which
takes place on Saturday, October 17th along
Broad and Hodges Streets in Oriental, is a labor
of love carried on in great style by inspired local
folk, newcomers and long-time residents alike,
to give a taste of yesteryear. Dottie and Dick Osmun and others in the
band, Harbor Sounds, had been wanting for
years to put on a bluegrass festival in Oriental. They drew their inspiration from the musicians
who formerly gathered on the porch of Captain
Billy and Lucille Truitt’s Ol’ Store at South
Water and New Streets back in the 60’s and 70’s. Billy and Lucille have passed away and the Ol’
Store building itself was torn down almost a
decade ago, but memories lingered – pick-up
music sessions amid piles of old fishing nets and
rocking chairs on the porch. With this vision of re-creating that musical
experience for the Oriental of today, plans were
being made in the summer of 2014 to set up
a festival that would use one or two churches
in town as the venues. Dottie Osmun and her
Turnage
Construction & Trucking Co. Inc.
2373 NC Hwy 304, Bayboro, NC 28515
neighbor, Leslie Kellenberger, weren't sure that
they could pull it off and Dottie was saying she
thought it would be best to delay the festival
until the following year. Darryl and Nadine Eby reside in
Junction, Texas and have a home in Oriental
as well. They don’t get the opportunity to
come to Oriental as much as they like to,
but when they do they make sure to stop
in the Bean. “I like to go down to the Bean
and visit with people and see what happens.
We like to swap stories and see who shows
up,” said Nadine. Her husband, Darryl Eby,
feels the same way. “Going to the Bean
and hanging out makes for a great day,” he
added.

Weekly Horoscope
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The dance of Mars and Uranus
will influence your entire week
but it will mathematically culminate on Tuesday. This energy will bring surprise flirtations
and romance your way; as
well as unexpected invitations
to sports and social events. It will make you
competitive in sports - even more than usual,
which is saying something for you! It will also
boost your energy and help you to be original
and creative. Be careful on Wednesday when
power struggles with bosses, parents and close
friends might blow you out of the water. On the
weekend, the New Moon is the only New Moon
all year urging you to make resolutions about
how to improve your health; and also on how to
improve your job and how you do it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Even though you are a bit low
key because you’re doing
things behind the scenes, at
the beginning of this week,
you will probably compete
with someone - perhaps
unexpectedly. You might meet
someone who is a real character; or a friend or
a member of a group might catch you off guard
and surprise you. Whatever happens will liberate
you in some fashion. You’ll feel like Bette Midler
singing “Leader of the Pack.” Whatever you do
might surprise others, as well. However, there’s
a major storm warning for Wednesday. Resist
the urge to engage disputes, which quickly
deteriorate into nasty arguments. Don’t force
others to agree with you. Instead, use this same
energy to study some subject in depth. (There
will be a midterm on Thursday.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Lots of unusual activity will
be taking place on the home
front this week, especially at
the beginning of the week,
specifically around Tuesday.
Whatever happens will be
sudden and unexpected. It
could mean a sudden change for the better;
however, it might also mean a family member
might break free from the status quo. Something
will shake things up! Perhaps this is why intense
power struggles and arguments take place the
next day, especially at work. However, these
intense discussions might relate to a pet, who
is always an important family member. (I name
my silverfish.) Take advantage of the New Moon
this weekend by asking yourself how much you
respect your creative abilities.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your ambition has been
aroused lately; and because
of this, you will be high viz.
this week. You might come
head-to-head (or toe to toe)
with an authority figure - boss,
parent, teacher, VIP. Others
might notice you because you are full of original,
clever, innovative ideas. You want to introduce
reforms and make things better. Unfortunately,
if you come on too strong, you will increase
opposition to you. Could this be the reason that
nasty disputes with someone on Wednesday are
in the picture? This is a poor day for a heart-toheart discussion with a friend. Give everyone a
wide berth. (Or a narrow cot if they’re skinny.)
How timely that the New Moon on the weekend
urges you to think about how you can improve
your relationships with others, especially friends
and groups.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Fiery Mars now makes all
your communications direct,
impulsive and rather spectacular! And since you are the
wordsmith of the zodiac to
begin with, you are a force to
contend with. (“Watch out! I’ve
got my thesaurus and I know how to use it!”)
Not only are you filled with clever, original ideas
at the beginning of the week, you might change
your daily routine, especially on Monday/
Tuesday. In fact, there is a mild accident-prone
influence then; so be careful. By Wednesday,
romantic arguments and difficulties with your
kids will make things tough. Try to avoid this if
you can. Perhaps this is why the weekend is the
perfect time for you to ask yourself what you
can do to improve your family and your home.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Something unusual might be
going on this week with your
money, cash flow or earnings.
In fact, it might impact your
finances on Monday/Tuesday.
Be alert (the world needs more
lerts) for moneymaking opportunities that suddenly present themselves. If this
happens, you have to act quickly because this
window of opportunity is brief. You might also
suddenly spend money. “Gone in 60 Seconds!”
Please note: You will have creative, resourceful
ideas about your finances and possessions. Be
as patient as you can on Wednesday because
family arguments will be destructive. Anger
serves no purpose other than to make everyone
miserable. If you use the New Moon on the
weekend of the 12th to reflect upon your style
of communicating with others - you will learn
something.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Travel plans will be interrupted
at the beginning of the week delayed, cancelled or changed
in some fashion. You can
almost count on this. However,
many of you will welcome
change or an opportunity to
learn more or experience something unusual,
that in turn makes you feel more enlightened
and liberated. “I see the light!” Midweek, on
Wednesday, difficulties with others, friends and
members of groups, could be nasty. Try to sidestep this if you can. During the weekend of the
12th, the only New Moon occurring at the top
of your chart all year will take place. This means
it’s your best opportunity in the entire year to
focus on your life direction and figure out where
you want to go. Heady stuff!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Because you are entering a
two-year window where you
will downsize, streamline your
life and get rid of people,
places and possessions, it’s
important for you to stay on
top of red-tape details like
shared property, inheritances and insurance
issues. Don’t let any of this get out of hand. At
the beginning of the week, unexpected news
might impact these areas i.e. how your finances
and assets entwine with others. You might learn
unexpected news regarding shared finances.
On Wednesday, midweek, avoid arguments with
parents and authority figures. Definitely. Don’t
even go there. By the end of the week, use
the New Moon energy to think about how you
can enrich your life through travel and further
learning.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Mars is in your sign dancing
with Uranus at the beginning
of the week. Life will be exciting and full of possibilities for
personal growth. In fact, some
kind of fresh element that is
unexpected will boost your
enthusiasm! You’ll be attracted to extraordinary
activities and doing things that make you feel
freer and more alive. Major warning: Don’t talk
to anyone on Wednesday. This is the classic
day for nasty arguments and shakedowns. Not
good. If you can weather Hump Day, the rest of
the week is fine. In fact, the New Moon on the
weekend is the perfect time for you to give serious thought to how you handle your money and
also how you take care of what you own. If you
take care of your stuff, it will take care of you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Partners and close friends
might do something that
catches you off guard. Or they
might have surprising news for
you. In most cases, whatever
happens will be liberating for
either you, or them, or both.
“I’m free!” Alternatively, someone close to you
might suggest a bizarre, unusual arrangement.
“I’m free - but do I want to be?” Avoid intense
discussions about politics, religion and racial
issues on Wednesday because they will be difficult, nasty and pointless. Just don’t engage.
By the end of the week, you can use the New
Moon energy to think how to more successfully
deal with people whose values are different from
yours. It’s inevitable that we encounter this in life
because not everyone votes the same. Yeah, it’s
a learning curve.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Something going on behind
the scenes will erupt at the
beginning of the week. This
could be good news; could be
bad news. It could be related
to an enemy or someone
who does not have your best
interests at heart. (Don’t get paranoid because
this might not be the case, at all.) By contrast,
it could mean that you discover the freedom
to do something you’ve always wanted to do!
Or perhaps the freedom to express yourself
in a certain way? Avoid financial disputes on
Wednesday because they are just not worth it.
And things could get nasty. This weekend, take
a realistic look in the mirror because it’s the
best time all year for you to assess your image.
How can you create a better impression on
your world?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Please remember that you
need more sleep at this time
while the Sun is in Virgo, which
is 180 degrees opposite your
sign, which, in turn, means the
Sun, your source of energy, is
as far away from you as it gets
all year. Something unusual will impact your
health or your job at the beginning of the week.
It will be sudden and surprising. It could involve
technology, aviation, or working with a friend.
Whatever happens might give you greater freedom over your life. You might see a better way
of doing your job or you might introduce reforms
and improvements at work. Likewise, you might
improve your health through modern or ancient
disciplines. Avoid arguments about shared property on Wednesday. By the end of the week,
take some time to think about what you really
want in a partnership or close friendship. Ideas?

Here’s what one of Allen’s customers
had to say...
Allen is tenacious, committed, honest, and
knowledgeable. Just what you’re looking for in
a broker. We highly respect his ability to get the
job done. He guided us through a long series
of buyer’s inspections. Probably without Allen’s
encouragement and guidance we would not
have gotten to a closing. We highly recommend
Allen for his local knowledge, process expertise,
responsiveness, and negotiation skills.

Woman’s Club has invited Bob Miller, professor emeritus, to discuss the issues related to the
science of climate change at the Club’s meeting
on Tuesday, Sept. 15. The Science of Climate Change: Climate
change is in the news almost daily as scientists
and elected officials world wide debate what
to do about the problem. There also is a vocal
minority opinion that denies that it is real and/
or that we are the cause. This talk will focus on the science behind the
issue and what can and should be done about climate change.
The meeting is open to the public and will be held in the OWC clubhouse at 1007 Gilgo Street. Refreshments will be served from 9:00 till
9:30 when the presentation begins. The presentation will last about 45

of focus. Currently there are 19 funded programs serving individuals in
Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico Counties. Funds are raised locally to

Harbor Sounds provided the entertainment. The musical group consists
of Dick and Dottie Osmun, Dixie and Asa Gatlin, Paul Sykes and Woody
Fuller. They have been performing locally since 1998 and raising money
for those in need in Pamlico County. “This is our mission - to earn
money through performing and donate it to those in need,” said Dixie.To
date, Harbor Sounds has raised over $350,000 for local charities. They
will be performing at the Warren Chapel Homecoming on September 27
and at the Old Front Porch Festival in Oriental on October 17.

HEARING LOSS
Now linked to Dementia & Alzheimer’s Disease
Don’t ignore the
WARNING signs:
❏ Increasingly frustrated and
socially isolated
❏ Unable to hear well in social
settings
❏ Ask others to repeat themselves
❏ You hear, but don’t understand
❏ Others repeatedly ask you to
turn down the television?
“We followed 639 people, ages 36 to 90 for nearly 12 years, and found that
for each 10-decibel loss in hearing, the risk of dementia rose about 20 percent
among the participants. Compared with those who could hear normally when
first examined, the risk of dementia doubled among those with mild hearing loss,
tripled among those with moderate hearing loss and increased fivefold among
those with severe hearing loss.”

This school year S.W Snowden
Elementary Career and Technical
Education teacher, Nikki Whitley,
plans to collaborate with the guidance
counselor, Wayne Parsons, to support
Career Development for students in
grades 4-8. Eighth graders will experience a
wide range of career development
activities through this effort. The program begins with enabling students
to connect with their own strengths
and attitudes about certain jobs. They
will be guided towards future career
opportunities in line with these talents
and interests. Students will then start prioritizing
these potential career choices. At this
point, students will learn to design a
mock resume, letter of application,

selves in the career world. Finally,
skills will be put to the test through mock interviews with professional guests and other volunteers. Whitley also plans to do a program through Everfi, which contains modules about understanding
money and finances for students in grades four through eight. The modules focus on making responsible financial choices, connecting income to a range of careers, financial planning, understanding
credit, borrowing money, insurance, fiscal safety, savings, and investments. Within this program, compact lessons are available for each essential topic. Whitley knows that
SWS students will be responding positively to the hands-on discussions, online modules, and practical application to real life situations.
SECU Helping to Bring Solar to Schools
State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU)
members via the SECU Foundation are once
again teaming up with NC GreenPower to
help expand the development of renewable
energy sources through a pilot program
geared to benefit North Carolina public
schools – the Solar Schools project. Over
the next two years, SECU Foundation
will provide a total investment of up to
$140,000, awarding a $10,000 matching
challenge grant to 14 K-12 public schools
that meet NC GreenPower’s program
requirements for the installation of a polemounted solar PV system on school campuses. The Foundation’s matching challenge grant will help qualify each school
for a 5 kW solar array system, which will
offer an educational tool in the classroom,
as well as an energy impact that will likely
produce enough renewable energy to power
a school’s main office. The impact saves
an estimated 6,570 kilowatt hours with a
potential cost savings of $657 annually.
“We greatly value the support received over the last eight years from SECU members for NC
GreenPower’s renewable energy program and we are excited to transition the program to help schools
across the state, especially those who have great need for educational tools and energy savings,” said
Vicky McCann, Vice President of NC GreenPower. “With SECU Foundation’s assistance, we can
once again leverage our partnership to better our state, not only by improving our environment, but
by helping those schools who need it most.”
Under the partnership agreement, NC GreenPower will oversee all aspects of the Solar Schools
pilot project, including participant applications, program criteria and school selection, cost proposals,
training and educational materials. Applicants who have the greatest need, such as public schools in
economically depressed counties are preferred candidates for the Solar Schools project. Four schools
have already been selected for the 2015-2016 school year and an additional ten schools will be selected for 2016-2017.
“We are excited to extend our support for NC GreenPower’s Solar Schools project,” commented
McKinley Wooten, Jr., Chairman of SECU Foundation’s Board of Directors. “Each year since 2007,
our ‘GreenPower’ energy program partnership has funded approximately 2 million kilowatt hours of
green-sourced energy as a replacement for fossil fuel-based energy – 1 kilowatt hour of green energy
annually for each of our 2 million SECU members! Helping to integrate solar power in our schools
as an alternative energy source is a worthy effort toward expanding renewable green power sources
and providing financial benefits to challenged schools. We look forward to hearing positive results
from the pilot program!”

Facilitator: Heather Cobham Brewer, LCSW

This intergenerational class will provide a safe environment to explore what is
sacred to us, what influences shaped our spiritual development and how we can
authentically express our spirituality in the busyness of daily life. We will use
storytelling, music, poetry, prose and the power of sitting in communion with
other women as portals to look deeper into our spiritual lives. The intention of
the class is to create a stronger connection with yourself, the divine (however
you define it) and with the community of women who will share this experience.

District Attorney Scott Thomas announced
that, in Pamlico County Superior Court this
week, his office was able to obtain the following felony convictions in cases involving illegal
drugs and violent offenses. Resident Superior
Court Judge Ken Crow presided over this session of court. Each defendant pled guilty prior
to having the cases called for trial. Assistant
District Attorney Laura Bell prosecuted the cases
in court.
STEPHANIE
NICOLE HOPKINS,
30, of Alliance, was
convicted of two
counts of Attempted
Trafficking in Heroin.
On September 10, 2014,
the Pamlico County
Sheriff’s Department
received information
that HOPKINS would
STEPHANIE NICOLE
HOPKINS
be coming into Pamlico
County with heroin for
the purpose of selling it. Sheriff’s investigators
set up surveillance in the area of Grantsboro,
where HOPKINS was said to be going. When
HOPKINS arrived at the Bojangles parking lot,
officers were waiting for her. They approached,
detained, and eventually arrested HOPKINS,
and recovered 3.5 grams of heroin and various drug paraphernalia. A subsequent search of
HOPKINS’ residence yielded another 3 grams of
heroin. Judge Crow imposed two sentences: the
first was a prison sentence of 13 to 25 months,
and the second 16 to 29 months. Judge Crow
suspended only the second sentence, and, once
HOPKINS serves the first prison term, she will
be on supervised probation for three years. The
car that HOPKINS was driving, a GMC Envoy,
was seized and forfeited to the Pamlico County
Sheriff’s Department.
Two cases below – FORD and LOVICK -resulted from Operation Clean Slate, an extended
initiative by Sheriff Chris Davis to combat illegal drug sales:
EMARI LI MARISSA FORD, 24, was convicted of three counts of Possession of Heroin
with Intent to Sell or
Deliver. During Operation
Clean Slate, the Sheriff’s
Department Drug Task
Force set up controlled
purchases of narcotics
throughout the county.
A cooperating witness
purchased narcotics from
individuals in the county
,and these purchases
EMARI LI MARISSA
were monitored by the
FORD
Sheriff’s Department and
were recorded with audio and video equipment.
FORD conducted three separate transactions
with the witness in January and March of 2015.
FORD was sentenced to a prison term of 8 to 19
months. As with every other defendant, FORD
will be subject to nine months of post-release
supervision after she serves the prison sentence,
and will be subject to a number of conditions,
including random drug testing.
CARLA MARIE LOVICK, 40, of Vandemere,
was convicted of one count of Possession of
Heroin with Intent to Sell or Distribute. As in
the case of FORD, above, LOVICK conducted
a transaction with the cooperating witness in
December 2014. LOVICK had no prior criminal record before this case, and was sentenced
to 6 to 17 months in prison. In light of her age
and lack of record, Judge Crow suspended the
sentence and placed LOVICK on supervised
probation for two years,
and listed a number of
restrictions on LOVICK
during that time. In addition to drug testing, she
will be subject to warrantless searches and seizures
of her person, her vehicle,
and her residence while on
probation.
JORDAN CAHOON,
CARLA MARIE LOVICK
25, of Grantsboro, was
convicted of one count of Assault on a Law
Enforcement Officer with a Firearm. On May
30, 2015, CAHOON was wanted for a robbery
that occurred in Craven
County. A description of
CAHOON and a suspect
vehicle had been given
to all officers in the area.
Trooper S. Casner of
the North Carolina State
Highway Patrol saw a
vehicle in the Reelsboro
area that matched the
suspect vehicle and
approached to investigate.
JORDAN CAHOON
Shortly after Casner was
able to determine that
CAHOON was in the car, CAHOON fled the
area on foot. Casner chased CAHOON, eventually deploying his Taser to stop CAHOON.
Casner had begun to handcuff CAHOON when
CAHOON began to struggle and fight with
Casner. During the fight, CAHOON got his hand
on the trooper’s firearm and was able to get the
hood (safety strap) unsnapped before Casner
regained control of CAHOON. During the
effort to regain control of CAHOON, Casner’s
right hand was broken. Judge Crow sentenced
CAHOON to a prison term of 26 to 44 months,
which he ordered to run consecutively to any
sentence resulting from the Craven County robbery. In Craven County, CAHOON was convicted of Common Law Robbery, and sentenced
to 12 to 24 months in prison, which results in a
total prison sentence of 38 to 68 months.
MATTHEW PAUL
DUNHAM, 32, was convicted
of Possession of a Firearm by
Convicted Felon, three counts
of Breaking and Entering, and
three counts of Breaking and
Entering a Motor Vehicle. In
February, 2015, the Pamlico
County Sheriff’s Department
received information that stoMATTHEW PAUL
len property, which included
DUNHAM
firearms, was located at a residence in Oriental, North Carolina. The Sheriff’s
Department and the North Carolina State
Bureau of Investigation obtained and executed
a search warrant at the residence and recovered
an assortment of tools that were recently stolen
from the Pamlico County Schools Maintenance
Department building and trucks, and items that
were recently stolen from an unrelated storage
unit, as well as two rifles. Investigators found
that DUNHAM had broken into those locations
and brought the items to the Oriental residence.
Judge Crow imposed three consecutive sentences: first, 19 to 32 months in prison, followed
by two sentences of 11 to 23 months each. Judge
Crow suspended the latter two sentences and
placed DUNHAM on supervised probation, after
he is released from prison, for three years, and
included the condition that DUNHAM complete
the TROSA residential drug rehabilitation program.

The Old Theater in Oriental is pleased to
announce auditions for the December, 2015 production of Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play,

Alfred Hitchcock come to life in the style of a
1940s radio broadcast of the master of suspense’s
earlier films. With The Lodger, Sabotage and The
39 Steps, Vintage Hitchcock is a triple feature,
complete with vintage commercials, that recreates a daring train chase, a serial killer’s ominous
presence, and a devastating explosion through the
magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring.
Audition Dates: Tuesday & Wednesday, September 22 & 23 at 7:00 p.m. at the Old Theater, 609
Broad Street, Oriental, NC. Please bring a list of all potential conflicts including travel, etc. Those

WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the National
Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders (NAGGL) today announced the release of the
Business Smart Toolkit, a ready-to-use workshop toolkit that equips faith-based and community organizations to help new and aspiring entrepreneurs launch and build businesses that are credit ready.
“We can’t wait for aspiring entrepreneurs to come to us;
we need to reach out to them where they are,” said SBA
Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet. “The Business
Smart Toolkit allows us to work more effectively alongside
local partners in underserved communities to ensure that
all Americans have access to the government and private
resources available to support their entrepreneurial dreams. Minority firms are a fast growing segment of the U.S. economy, generating $1 trillion in economic output, yet they
typically encounter higher borrowing costs, receive smaller
loans and face more rejections. I applaud NAGGL for joining the SBA to focus on expanding lending
to underserved communities to ensure that all key drivers of the U.S. economy are able to contribute
at their full potential.”
“Small business ownership takes courage and determination. We must promote and inspire entrepreneurship and the Business Smart Toolkit is an innovative way to bring the highest-level of business insight to American entrepreneurs across the country," said Tony Wilkinson, president and CEO
of NAGGL.
"Our partnership with SBA unites our expertise and resources. Together, we hope this toolkit will
inspire Main Street entrepreneurs to open their doors.” The toolkit is designed to "train-the-trainer", such as trusted community leaders, who have the
ability and the desire to educate new and potential business owners through a series of workshops in
collaboration with the SBA’s field offices and NAGGL members. The toolkit is intended to educate
and enable small business owners – from those looking to open their first small business, to established business owners hoping to expand and grow. It contains a variety of small business and financial literacy topics that include business start-up basics, the essentials of becoming credit-ready, and
resources for small business education and support.

In Brief
Cut Driver’s Ed?
Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin
encourages the North Carolina Senate and House
of Representatives to preserve funding for driver’s
education as they negotiate a state budget.
“North Carolina currently has some of the lowest
car insurance costs in the country,” Goodwin said.
Car insurance rates in North Carolina are based
on the claims experiences of the insurance companies. If, over time, they are paying out more for
claims, it is likely that rates would increase for all
drivers.
In the short-term, teen drivers already pay
significantly more for car insurance than experienced drivers, and if they are charged points for
convictions or at-fault accidents, their rates would
increase in accordance with the state’s Safe Driver
Incentive Plan.
“It is to everyone’s benefit to have skilled and
safe drivers on the road,” said Goodwin.
Learn more about teens and car insurance at
www.ncdoi.com/teendrivers or by calling the
North Carolina Department of Insurance at 855408-1212.

but having to be concerned about drivers not
obeying signs should be unnecessary,” Miller said.
The area currently closed to traffic is
Vandemere Street and Ragan Road on Neuse
Drive. As the project proceeds, other areas
around town will be affected, particularly
Factory Street, likely to cause a bottleneck.

Hurricanes Scoreless
Against Farmville
CentralHundreds of fans showed up to The
Hurricanes Friday night game against the
Farmville Central Jaguars, but went home disappointed. The Pamlico Hurricanes suffered a
54-0 loss against Farmville in the non-league
bout.The game got started with Pamlico kicking off to Farmville and Jaguars coming back to
score three touchdowns in just the first quarter.
At half time Farmville had a 42-0 lead over
the Hurricanes. As Pamlico struggled to get on
the scoreboard, the Jaguars scored again in the
third and fourth quarters for a final score of
54-0. Pamlico’s defense allowed 369 rushing
yards with the offense gaining only a total of 81.
Pamlico quarterback Josiah Simmons completed
3-of-10 passes for 21 yards. Jacobie Simmons
gained 42 yards on the ground.First year head
coach, Torrey Nowell knows that his team with
a record of 1-2 will have to work hard to prepare for this Friday’s away, non-conference bout

weekend is a prime example.”
The MS Bike Ride will hit town this weekend
and plans are underway to secure the route for
cyclists through the project site.
The project is tentatively scheduled for
completion the end of October. Hopefully the
weather will cooperate.
Continued from page 1
explained steps the district is taking to improve
scores. “Because our goal is to continuously
improve Pamlico County Schools has provided
our kindergarten through eighth grade mathematics teachers access to a full-time coach and
professional development to assist in the implementation of a new math textbook and resources
to address areas that need focused attention,” she
said.
Randy Millar, Assistant Administrative
Director of the Arapahoe Charter School, is
pleased with the school’s performance and
thanked his teachers for their hard work. The
charter school received a B in both reading and
math and a C overall with a total of 66 points,
just 3 points shy of a B rating. “We have made
significant improvements from the 2013-2014
school year. We went from from a growth status
of ‘not met’ with a score of just 66.9 points to
‘exceeding expected growth’ with a score of 90.2
points. We are heading in the right direction but
we can’t stop and be comfortable with average.
We need to continue to improve year after year,”
said Millar.
North Carolinians can be pleased that high
school graduation rates continue to increase and
reached a new all-time high of more than 85 percent in 2015. State Board of Education Chairman
Bill Cobey noted that the school performance
grades provide a starting point for parents to
learn more about school performance. “The letter
grades give an overview of academic performance,” Cobey said, “and provide a springboard
for parents to learn more about the specifics of
particular schools’ performance in reading, math
and science. Although this is the second year of
School Performance Grades, North Carolina has
had school-based accountability since 1996.
Thing is, Leslie didn’t read Dottie's email
before going out for a her morning run. She
jogged down North Street and on to the river
and the harbor. When coming back up Broad
Street, she ran by number 507, home of new
owners, the Price family. “I ran by the house
and noticed how welcoming the porch looked,”
Leslie says. That’s where the idea started taking
shape for her. “Right there at the Prices’ house, I
think I stopped in my tracks, stared at it, looked
around to see if there were other porches nearby.
There were plenty! I ran straight from there to
Dottie’s front door and rang the doorbell. She let
me in saying, ‘“You got my e-mail this morning?
We’re not going to be able to pull this off.”’ But Leslie shared her idea: Why not have the
Festival on a bunch of porches in Oriental? “Porches, yes porches! That’ll work!”
exclaimed Dottie. And so began a hit-theground running effort to find residents and businesses willing to let their porches be used and
local musicians willing to play. All of it for
free. Word went out and there was soon a dozen
porches in the mix — from Town Hall at the
north end of Broad Street, down Broad toward
the Oriental bridge then down Hodges past
the harbor to the Village Gallery and Marsha’s
Cottage. Great local musicians responded to the
call - 14 groups in all! The ideas for the event
grew as they went along, bringing together musicians, homeowners, volunteers, businesses and
churches, gathering momentum and generating
wide-spread enthusiasm. And thus began an
exciting new chapter in the rich history of this
special community. The result? The 2nd Annual Ol’ Front Porch
Music festival! It will begin on Friday evening
October 16th at 7:30 p.m. as the Old Theater
kicks-off the festival with a musical documentary, “Muscle Shoals”; Salty Paws, a live-aboard
duo will perform beforehand (at 6:30 p.m.). The Theater is donating half the intake to the
OFPMF. Saturday’s lineup will leverage last
year's great musicians as well as some newer
groups. Most exciting are two headlining performers, The Carmonas, a young dynamic country
group from Nashville, Tenn. Then the finale will
be world-renowned singer-songwriter Laurelyn
Dossett from Raleigh. Re-appearing this year
will be Green Creek Bluegrass, Harbor Sounds,
Ed Terry, The UHOOS, Salty Paws, The New
Sensational Messengers, Bob Jones, and Mac
McWilliams. New to the festival are: Gumbo
Lily from Morehead City; Far From Done
from Raleigh; George Perry from Pfafftown;
Dixie Strings from New Bern; Flat Mountain
Dulcimers from Goldsboro; Moore’s Creek
Bluegrass from Merritt; Andy Ferrell from
Boone, and Coastal Notes Woodwind Quintet
from New Bern. While music is the main focus, the organizers also want local artisans to have a chance to
show their wares. More than a dozen will be set
up at a Country Marketplace on the corner of
Broad and Main, and a Food Court will be there
as well. Rotary has joined the fun this year and
will host a Classic Car Show along the river and
a chicken barbecue dinner in the evening. With a look toward the future and the 3rd
Annual Ol’ Front Porch Music Festival, the committee has been selling buttons. Be sure to be
supportive and buy your button!

How Correct Is Too Correct?
The Oxford English
Dictionary (OED) has officially
added “Mx” as an honorific for
Maureen Donald
The Editor’s Desk those who either do not identify
as being of a particular gender,
and for those who are transgender.
In the last couple of years, the title has been slowly added to all
British databases, and is already accepted by government departments, councils, high street banks, some universities, Royal Mail
and driving licenses in England.
In making the addition, an OED editor stated it demonstrated
how English was evolving to accommodate a changing and more
open-minded society.
I’m good with that - not that anyone checked with me first. My
attitude is the added option to address people who may not be
comfortable with Mr. or Ms. is straightforward and easy to implement. Good for the British.
However, as with most changes, there are those that simply feel
compelled to take it to the next level - or in this case, to outer
space.
The University of Tennessee is now asking students to use “ze, hir, hirs, and xe, xem, xyr.”
No, those words are not another language. According to the
University of Tennessee, they’re actually the gender-neutral singular versions of pronouns.
The University of Tennessee Office for Diversity and Inclusion
(who knew?) is asking students and faculty to use the pronouns in
order to create a more inclusive campus. They say it alleviates a
heavy burden for people expressing different genders or identities.
Stop right there - “heavy burden?” Given the state of the world
Can you believe? This is the graphic released by the University of Tenessee detailing its
new gender-friendly designations.
at the moment, I have a difficult time calling gender identification terms “a heavy burden.” And I’d venture to guess the vast
majority of the LGBT community hardly regard it as their biggest
concern.
That said, the director of the University of Tennessee’s Pride
Center said, “We should not assume someone’s gender by their
appearance, nor by what is listed on a roster or in student information systems.” No kidding. “Transgender people and people who
do not identify within the gender binary may use a different name
than their legal name and pronouns of their gender identity, rather
than the pronouns of the sex they were assigned at birth.” What?
For the first week of classes, Braquet is also asking teachers to
ask everyone to provide their name and pronoun instead of calling
roll. “The name a student uses may not be the one on the official
Making Sense of Investing
In recent months, stocks
have fallen sharply from
their record highs, with
one-day drops that can rightfully be called “dizzying.” As an investor, what are you to make of this
volatility?
For one thing, you’ll find it useful to know the probable causes
of the market gyrations. Most experts cite global fears about
China’s economic slowdown, falling oil prices and anticipation
of a move by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates as the key
factors behind the stock market’s decline.
On the other hand, the U.S. economy is still doing fairly well.
Employers are adding jobs at a pretty good clip, wages are rising,
home prices are up and overall economic growth has been reasonably solid. In other words, we are in a vastly better place than in
the period before the Great Recession of 2008 and early 2009,
when the financial markets bottomed out.
Nonetheless, it’s only natural that you might feel some trepidation over what’s been happening in the financial markets over the
past few weeks. So, what should you do? Here are a few suggestions:
• Expect more of the same. Be prepared for more volatility,
potentially including big drops one day followed by big gains

roster, and the roster name may not be the same gender as the one
the student now uses,” ze said.
Some believe the idea is taking things too far. You think?
I find it absurd that people are paid a lot of money to sit around
and come up with this nonsense. I can think of a number of other
issues we might put some effort into solving.
By the way, the University of Tennessee isn’t (unfortunately)
alone.
City University of New York’s Graduate Center instructed faculty to ‘eliminate use of gendered salutations and references.’
Professors and other employees at the university have been forbidden (yes, forbidden) from addressing students and prospective
students with the title “Mr.” and “Ms.” because, campus leaders
say, the terms may be offensive.
The policy to eliminate the use of gendered salutations and references extends to all types of correspondence, such as “all parts
of letters including address and salutation, mailing labels, bills or
invoices, and any other forms or reports.” I kid you not.
One professor at the university summed it up rather well. “If a
student asked me to call him ‘Godzilla,’ I would happily call him
‘Godzilla’ or whatever anyone asked to be called,” Joseph Borelli,
a Republican state Assemblyman who teaches a politics course
at CUNY’s College of Staten Island said. “But we do not need to
make it a mandated policy change.”
I agree. How about just asking someone how they would like to
be addressed. Policy changes such as the absurd new terms coined
at the University of Tennessee and the policy changes at CUNY
do little (if anything) for the LGBT community.
Too bad we can’t mandate respect for all our fellowman - that
would solve everything. Oops - is that term politically correct?
Best Response to Volatile Markets? Stay Calm
the next. Until the factors considered responsible for the current
volatility – that is, China’s slowing economy, low oil prices and
the Federal Reserve’s decision on rates – have been fully absorbed
into the market’s pricing mechanisms, big price swings, one way
or another, are to be expected.
• Don’t panic. The headlines may look grim, but today’s newspapers are tomorrow’s recycling pile. Volatility is nothing new,
and the financial markets are more resilient than you may think.
• Look for opportunities. By definition, a downturn occurs when
investors sell massive amounts of stocks, but it actually may be
a good time to buy them, while their price is down. Look at the
most successful businesses and their products and services. If you
can envision these companies still being around and thriving in ten
years, why wouldn’t you want to buy their stocks at potentially
lower prices?
• Diversify. During the downturn, just about everyone’s portfolio was affected. But if yours took a particularly large hit, it
might be because your holdings are over-concentrated in stocks,
especially the types of stocks that fared the worst. You may need
to further diversify your portfolio through a mixture of domestic
and international stocks, bonds, government securities, real estate,
certificates of deposit (CDs) and other vehicles. Diversification,
by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or prevent against all losses, but
it can help blunt the harshest effects of volatility.
• Review your investment strategy. Unless your goals have
changed, there’s no reason to revise your long-term investment
strategy, even in the face of wild fluctuations in the financial markets. Still, it’s always a good idea to review your strategy at least
once a year, possibly in consultation with a financial professional.
You may need to make smaller-scale adjustments in response
to changes in the economy, interest rates, and so on, but don’t
abandon your core principles, such as maintaining a portfolio that
reflects your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.
Investing will never be either risk-free or predictable. But by
taking the steps described above, you can relieve some of the
stress associated with volatility and help yourself stay on track
toward your financial objectives.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investors
should understand the risks involved of owning investments,
including interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The value
of investments fluctuates and investors can lose some or all of
their principal. Special risks are inherent to international investing,
including those related to currency fluctuations and foreign political and economic events.

Are You a Small Business Owner? Watch Out for the Latest Scams
Roy Cooper
NC District
Attorney
Scam artists don’t just target
individual consumers. They also
use a variety of tricks and cons to
go after small businesses. Protect
your company and its reputation
by learning about the latest small
business frauds.
Fake Invoices
Small businesses regularly receive invoices for goods and services, and scammers are taking advantage. Employees sometimes
receive and pay bills that look legitimate before checking to make
sure that they really are. My office recently received complaints
about misleading mail from Division of Corporate Services, a
phony agency that tried to trick business owners into paying an
unnecessary fee to stay in compliance with state records laws.
There are four common invoice scams:
• Solicitations that look like invoices. The fine print asks
you to sign up for new, overpriced subscriptions or services.
• Requests for your business’s updated contact information. These mailers or faxes ask you to update or verify
your business’s contact information for a directory listing.
By signing, you agree to pay for a new, overpriced listing.
• False invoices that ask you to pay for office supplies or
telecommunications services your business never received.
• Invoices for supplies you never ordered. Under NC law,
you don’t have to pay for or return items you receive but
didn’t ask for.
Phony Loans & Grants
Fraudsters are always preying on small business owners who
are looking for a loan or grant. They’ll send emails, faxes, and
mailers claiming your business can get a quick loan or even thousands of dollars in government grants. In most cases, you’re asked
to pay an upfront fee. The scammers make away with the money
and business owners are left with less than they had to start with.
“Expiring” Web Addresses
Many small businesses have websites these days. If so, watch
out for mailers or emails warning that your website’s domain or
address will soon expire if you don’t pay to renew it. You’re told
to act immediately, or your business could lose its web address.
Some business owners feel pressured to pay the fee before asking questions or verifying the source. Con artists take the money
and run before the business owner realizes that their web address
wasn’t really due to expire.
To keep your small business safe from scams, remember these
tips:
• Warn your employees about scams. Make sure your staff
knows how to identify and report potential frauds.
• If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Beware of
unsolicited emails, faxes, phone calls, or sales pitches that
offer unrealistic deals. • Know who you’re working with. Verify the identity of
any company, agency, or bank that contacts your company
before you decide to do business with them.
• Check invoices carefully before you pay. Review the listed
charges and the name of the business or supplier. Don’t get
pressured into paying an invoice before you’ve verified it.
• Watch your business’s finances closely. Limit the number
of employees authorized to place orders, review invoices,
and make purchases for your company. Set strict workplace
policies about wire transfers and other payment methods.
• Avoid paying money upfront. If you’re asked to pay upfront
Hospice To Host Community Appreciation Day At Thrift Shop
In March of 1984, a steering committee was established to
discuss the formation of a hospice in this community. Soon after
that date, articles and bylaws were written. Board members were
present and each was given $10.00 to cover office supplies. The
first office opened at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Oriental.
The second office opened across from Bayboro Post Office
with “left overs” from the Saturday yard sales. This became
the merchandise for the opening thrift shop. The hospice office
then moved to the second floor of the former hospice location,
previously known as the old Sears Catalog store in Alliance. The
fourth location was in Grantsboro, sharing space with In Home
Aide Care, owned by Roger and Diane McDaniel. Diane was
one of the first hospice nurses. After the closing of their business, the Hospice expanded into the entire building. We have
recently renovated the old Clover Farms building and on June 1,
2015, the Hospice office and Thrift Shop once again came under
the same roof.
Some of our largest fundraisers in the past have been the
Shrimp-a-Roo, the published cookbook in 1998 and the renting
of Lifeline units. Grants were written and money received. Our
largest grants received were from Bates Foundation and United
Way. However, in the recent economy, grants are not as available
as they once had been in the past.
Over the years, we have provided speakers from our staff and
volunteers for churches and civic groups to promote community
awareness of our hospice. If you would like someone to come
and speak to your group, church or event, please give us a call at
252.745.5171.
From 1984-2007, this Hospice ran solely on grants, fundraisers, memorials and donations. In 2007, we were granted
Medicare certification, and soon after Medicaid, which means we
are able to be reimbursed for those eligible. Others may be covered by a private insurance or have no insurance at all. No one
is every turned away for the inability to pay. The revenue from
the thrift shop is used to provide services to ensure that patients
and their families never receive a bill for our services. We are
the only non-profit hospice agency in Pamlico and Beaufort
Counties.
Thank you to all of those involved with the development
and continuation of Hospice of Pamlico County. This Hospice
was built on a tradition of love, commitment and quality care.
To show our appreciation we will be holding a “Community
Appreciation Day” on Saturday, September 12 from 10 a.m. to
3 p.m. featuring a special sale and refreshments. Anyone wishing to make a donation or memorial, please do so by calling
252.745.5171, M-F 9:00-5:00, and ask to speak with Carolyn
Scott, Executive Director. Those who would like to make donations to the Thrift Shop, please call 252.745.5033 M-F 10:004:00 or Saturday, 10:00-1:00, and ask to speak with Bette
Baldwin, Thrift Shop Manager. Also, please feel free to stop by
at both locations at 602 Main St Bayboro.
Hospice of Pamlico County, Inc. provides end-of-life care
for those who have a terminal illness. If you are interested in
becoming a thrift shop or patient volunteer please contact the

fees for supplies or services, be skeptical. This is often a
sign of a scam.
• Stay away from suspicious websites and emails. If you’re
asked to enter information like passwords or account numbers for unspecified reasons, close the website or email
immediately. You can avoid falling victim to a phishing
scam by deleting emails that come from unfamiliar senders.
You can also verify vendors and other businesses by checking
with one of the following agencies:
• The Better Business Bureau
• North Carolina Secretary of State Corporations Division
If you experience an issue with your small business, let our
office know as soon as you can by calling 1-877-5-NO-SCAM or
by filing a complaint online at ncdoj.gov.

someone decided to write about the
Oriental community.
Speaking of the Oriental community, I met Nan Ferrell this week
at the Oriental Village Health and Fitness Club. She is their newest employee and is just delightful. She and her husband live in Sail
Loft, a subdivision started by my Uncle Joe Gwaltney.
I made a quick trip to the Town ‘N Country Sunday afternoon and
ran into Raymond Tingle, Jr. and also saw Mary Ellen Ham checking
out. It is nice to see that local residents are supporting a local business. It was Renee Ireland Smith’s birthday so I did not get to see
Ruth’s daughter. They have been very accommodating by ordering
my favorite Atkinson’s Seafood Breader.
What I suspected last week has come true; there are five major
cracks in Bay City Road in the north bound lane due to the heavy log
trucks riding on the new pavement.
Curious about where construction was taking place on Straight
Road I rode down the length of Straight Road (have to be sure I spell
those words correctly) on Saturday and went to Paradise Shores for
lunch. I had read in Mrs. Reba’s column about the good food there
so we went to check it out. She was not wrong. The Broad Creek
burger was delicious. I was very impressed that when Roy sent his
back because it was too rare, they cooked him another one and lunch
was on the house. They definitely want repeat business because they
aim to please.
I noticed they had painted on the floor the latitude and longitude of
Paradise Cove so I can pinpoint it on a chart, or on a hurricane map
if need be. It is at latitude 35 degrees 58 minutes and longitude 76

While there I became reacquainted with a neighbor from Neuse
Winds that I had met ten years ago when he rode his bicycle down
our road at the time we were building our house. He reminded me
that I had written about his visit in my column and that I had used
road and rode incorrectly. I told him I would try to do better this
week.
Many of the corn fields on Trent Road have been harvested and

on Monday morning as I was tryReba Tiller
Correspondent ing to get my news out. Thank
goodness my next door neighbor
MeLydia was here to help . She is
a nurse so that helps calm things
when she is around. We, along with Weeks doctor, decided that
sleep deprivation was the problem. So after sleeping all day and all
night he was back with us. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that someone left beautiful
pears on our sun deck. It was our neighbor Ed Lieberman, and
since he is the only one around with a pear tree, he thought I would
know who it was. I have been getting the best okra from Dudley
Paul in Alliance. He has a sign out, so if you love okra you should
stop.
The congregation at Bethel was a little slim today. Visitors were
Kathy Williams and Glen & Carol Ferguson. Fran Law presented
the minister Rev. Jesse Caton a birthday card and gift from the
church, then we sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He and his wife
gave a beautiful flower arrangement for the altar in honor of Mrs.
Winky's birthday that is coming up in October. James and Elizabeth
Cuthrell had lunch with me following church and James fixed my
lawnmower after I hit a stump with it. Then he checked it out by
mowing a good portion of my lawn. I don't know what Weeks and
I would do without our wonderful friends. Pamlico Chorale is starting rehearsals on September 14th,
7:00p.m. at the Oriental U. Meth. Church Fellowship Hall. I will
miss the first rehearsal in 26 years, but my dear friend Anne Watson

The modern Sudoku was most likely designed anonymously by Howard Garns, a 74 year old retired architect and
freelance puzzle constructor from Connersville, Indiana,
and first published in 1979 by Dell Magazines as Number
Place (the earliest known examples of modern Sudoku).
Garns's name was always present on the list of contributors in issues of Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games that
included Number Place, and was always absent from
issues that did not. He died in 1989 before getting a
chance to see his creation as a worldwide phenomenon.
The popular Japanese puzzle game
Sudoku is based on the logical placement of numbers.

An online fast cash lender that charged North
Carolinians oppressive interest rates is now barred
by court order from making or collecting on loans
in North Carolina, Attorney General Roy Cooper
said today.
“Consumers in need of quick cash got stuck with
loans they could not pay off,” Cooper said. “These
kinds of loans are illegal in North Carolina because
they bury struggling borrowers even deeper in debt
and that’s why we’re fighting to keep them out of
our state.”
Cooper and the North Carolina Office of the
Commissioner of Banks filed suit in December
2013 against Western Sky Financial, CashCall,
and related companies for violating North Carolina
laws that ban excessive interest rates on small
consumer loans. As alleged in the complaint, financially strapped North Carolina consumers who took
out personal loans of $850 to $10,000 from the
defendants faced annual interest rates from 89.68
percent to 342.86 percent, far in excess of what is
allowed under state law. Under a preliminary injunction ordered by
Special Superior Court Judge Gregory P. McGuire,
the defendant companies are now barred from:
• Advertising, offering or entering into con-
tracts to make loans to North Carolinians.
• Soliciting or collecting payments from
North Carolina consumers for loans.
• Selling or transferring any loans made to
North Carolina consumers.
• Destroying, altering or concealing any
records related to loans made to North
Carolina consumers.
The injunction will remain in place while the
lawsuit moves forward. Cooper is asking the court
to cancel Western Sky’s illegal loans, order refunds
for North Carolina consumers, and permanently
ban the defendants from collecting on the loans
and making any future illegal loans to North
Carolinians.
Western Sky, based in South Dakota, tried to
argue that it is exempt from state laws that ban its
loans in North Carolina because it claims to be an
Indian tribal entity. The court found that Western
Sky is not protected by the fact that it is owned by
a Native American. Cooper contends that Western
Sky is really a for-profit company owned by an
individual who happens to be a member of an
Indian tribe, and is not owned or operated by or for
the benefit of any tribe. For more tips or to report an online payday
loan, contact the Consumer Protection Division at

to bring home. This program will begin at the North Carolina

Voices from the gilded era
of the Harlem Renaissance
will resound at the North
Carolina History Center
Thursday, Sept. 17, from
7-8:30 p.m., for the Tryon
Palace African American
Lecture Series.
Antuan Hawkins and
Sharon Mervin will use various mediums to personify the
Harlem Renaissance, a period
in the 1920s and 1930s when
politics, power, race, gender
and the arts were used to convey a unified black voice to
the rest of the world.
A graduate of Chowan University where he studied music
and performance, Hawkins has entertained audiences for stage
and film from Birmingham to New York City. Hawkins will be
joined by Mervin, a jazz vocalist who studied journalism at the
University of Mount Olive. The performance will begin at 7 p.m. in Cullman Performance
Hall and is free, thanks to a generous donation from the Harold H.
Bate Foundation. Special hearing devices are available if needed.
Contact Tryon Palace 48 hours in advance of the performance to
make arrangements. For more information call 252-639-3500 or visit www.tryonpalace.org.
Recognizing the rapid growth of the state’s Latino community,
the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh launched the “Opening the
Doors” initiative in 2012 to make the museum more accessible and
relevant to Latinos and to inform
all visitors about the state’s Latino
history. The initiative continues
in 2015 and 2016 with funding
from a competitive grant, Latino
Americans: 500 Years of History, from the National Endowment for
the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA).
As one of 203 grant recipients selected from across the country, the
N.C. Museum of History received a cash grant of $10,000 to fund the
bilingual exhibit Los Jets: Playing for the American Dream, opening
April 2016, and seven bilingual programs, which include two documentary screenings, pertaining to Latino history and culture. Latino Americans: 500 Years of History is a nationwide public programming initiative by the NEH and ALA that “supports the exploration of the rich and varied history and experiences of Latinos, who
have helped shape the United States over the last five centuries and
who have become, with more than 50 million people, the country’s
largest minority group.”
Programs at the N.C. Museum of History will begin Tuesday, Sept.
15 and run through June 11, 2016. All programs are free unless otherwise indicated. Please note that adult programs through Nov. 12
will take place at the James B. Hunt Jr. Library, N.C. State University
Centennial Campus. Children’s programs will be held at the Museum
of History.
Details about upcoming programs and the exhibit follow. For more

‘Fall for Fashion’ Domestic Violence Awareness Event to be Held Thursday
By Townley Cheek
Special to The Pamlico News
Using data from the 2011 reporting period, the Division of
Violence Prevention of the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention found 38,028,000 women have experienced physical
intimate partner violence in their lifetimes. 4,774,000 women in
the U.S. experience physical violence by an intimate partner every
year. Every minute, 20 people are victims of intimate partner violence.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence,
domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate
partner against another. This violence can be physical, sexual,
psychological, or emotional.
The Coastal Women’s Shelter, a United Way organization, is
a private non-profit organization whose mission is to provide
alternatives, support, and education to individuals and their families whose lives have been disrupted by domestic violence. They
offer a wide range of services, including education and employment workshops, which is only one of the reasons why Pamlico
Community College and the Coastal Women’s Shelter Pamlico
County advocate, Ann Savage, have such a close relationship.
“Education is freedom. Education is everything,” says Savage.
“We are so grateful for all PCC does to help us as an organization,
as well help those we serve, including individuals and families.”
With a purpose to educate the community on the effects of
domestic violence, the Coastal Women’s Shelter has decided to
organize an awareness event in Pamlico County. The ‘Fall for
Fashion’ event is the first annual fashion show in Pamlico County.
“While there are awareness events in Craven County, we felt the
need to organize and create a fun, inspiring event for the Pamlico
County community,” says Savage.
With this event, the Coastal Women’s Shelter can create awareness for domestic violence, as well as help educate the community
on why domestic violence is an important issue facing not only
the world, but Pamlico County locally.
Upon hearing of the event, organizations, businesses, and citizens throughout the Pamlico County community volunteered to
help. “The support was overwhelming,” says Savage. The Oriental
Women’s Club donated their building and space as the venue for
the event. Marsha’s Cottage and Nautical Wheelers of Oriental
donated their clothing, as each model was able to schedule a
time to try on different outfits to model for the event. Pamlico
Community College created and printed the event flyers and
tickets, which can be purchased at Marsha’s Cottage, Nautical
Wheelers, M & M’s Café, Brantley’s Village Restaurant, First
Citizens Bank of Oriental, and at PCC.
The community has donated many tangible items, but the most
important donation was the time and effort the community put in
and devoted towards this awareness event. We are a community,
and together we rise against domestic violence.
The ‘Fall for Fashion’ fashion show is being held at the Oriental
Women’s Club on Thursday, September 10th from 6:30-8:30pm.
There are still a limited number of tickets available. Tickets are
$35, and there will be heavy hors d’oeuvres, dessert, & wine, as
well as raffle tickets and door prizes. Come out for some great
food, good company, and fashion to support the individuals and
families whose lives have been disrupted by the devastating
effects of domestic violence. To purchase tickets, please contact
Townley Cheek at Pamlico Community College at tcheek@pamlicocc.edu, or call 252-249-1851 x 3009.

Preservation by Replication
Pamlico native honors personal
history and Core Sound Heritage
The story begins with Alvin Thomas Mason
He was about 20 when he decided to venture from Atlantic on the
banks of Core Sound to fish in the lower Neuse. He hooked one
definite keeper, not catch and release, Rhoda Peele of Pamlico.
They made a home there where their children were born.
After a stint in the Coast Guard, he moved the family to Atlantic
and bought a 16 ft. skiff built in the 1930s by Ervin Robinson.
Fishing full-time until he was well into his 80s, he was known for
docking that little skiff loaded with three to four hundred pounds
of flounder he had gigged - in daylight. He died in 1998 when he
was 92, having never owned a car. He fed, clothed, housed, and
supported his family with the catch he brought home in that skiff
for almost 50 years.
Bruce Peele Mason, Alvin Mason’s second son ...
was born in 1942 in the Pamlico County village of Pamlico. When
his daddy was home from the Coast Guard on leave and after his
discharge, he helped his dad fish in that little skiff, harvesting
clams, oysters, flounder, and a variety of other fin fish. With restoration of the 80 year old skiff out of the question, Bruce Mason
did the next best thing to preserve a part of his and Core Sound’s
heritage. He had Heber Guthrie build an exact replica in Phoebe
Briley’s boat building shop in Marshallberg. While Heber labored
to recreate the exact shape and dimensions of that vessel, Bruce
rebuilt Alvin’s 50 + year old Sears & Roebuck 8.5 horse engine.
The rebuilt engine was installed in the new skiff along with the
original shaft and propeller that Alvin Mason used for decades.
The Launch ...
The Drum Inlet Fishing Center was host to visitors from the region
and from as far away as Boston on Saturday August 29 for the
long anticipated launch.
Bruce’s son and grandsons cheered as the skiff touched Core Sound water for the first time.
Bruce, 10, retuning home after a
day of oystering
with his father
in Core Sound.
Elaine Davis,
Alvin Mason’s
niece, christened
the Wahoo II,
built by Heber
Guthrie. Bruce
Mason rebuilt his
father’s engine.
One tug on the rope, a little cough, and the air cooled engine responded. Bruce’s friend, Lorraine Wade, and his grandsons were on the inaugural sea trial.
He called the Wahoo II “lively, just what Dad said his skiff was.” A little adjustment on the carburetor, and Bruce said “That engine runs fine as silk.”
Not an old man and the sea ... a man with memories ... on the sound. The Wahoos, I and II, are not assembly-line Chris Smith recreational boats built in
Henry Ford’s shadow in Algonac, Michigan. A Core Sound skiff is hand-crafted for a specific person, for a specific purpose, to work a specific body of water.
Ben Casey is working on a new book unlike any of his previous publications. This body of work, Sound People, is a collection of documentaries about
the lives of Core Sounders; fishermen, shopkeepers, boatbuilders, and others who have lived their lives along the shores of Core Sound. in DownEast Carteret County. What began as a story on Alvin Mason, a typical Core Sounder of the 20th century, evolved into a broader story including his son Bruce.
A description of Sound People can be found on the homepage of www.bencaseyphotos.com. A number of professionals are collaborating with Casey, Jim
Curry, video, Joe Miller, graphics editor, Phoebe Briley, project coordinator, & Carolyn Casey, the editor. Among others offering advice & encouragement are Warren Winchester, Jim Privette, and Ken Brandon, along with numerous Core Sounders. Work on this book project could take a year.
