Staff Reports

Pamlico County deputies will join other Sheriff Offices across the nation in purchasing center-mounted body cameras that will be worn on each deputy’s chest beginning as soon as next year.

During the Board of Commissioners meeting held last Tuesday, the board approved a request totaling $18,500 for the purchase of 14 cameras.

In a press conference held Friday, Sheriff Chris Davis spoke out about the implementation of the body cameras.

“There are always three sides to every story and the body camera tells the truth,” he said.

Though taxpayers will bear the brunt of the cameras for now, the Sheriff’s Office said they are researching a grant available through the N.C. Governor’s Crime Commission that will pay for one out of every three body cameras purchased.

“They don’t catch everything but they can help field citizen complaints, gather evidence and instill confidence,” said Maj. Scott Houston. “These cameras are very important for deputies, giving them peach of mind and helping to speed up internal investigations.”

Though the Board of Commissioners voted just last week on the body cameras, the idea for them has been in the works for more than a year. Currently, the Sheriff’s Office is also working to institute protocol for using the cameras. So, the full extent of how footage captured will be used

The countdown winds down this week on the Oriental Cup Regatta and Harborfest for HeartWorks. This weekend, September 16-18, RiverDunes will play host to a great weekend of sailing that also heralds the proven success of HeartWorks while raising funds to continue programs for many elementary students who face academic challenges in Pamlico County.

One of the most exciting venues at this annual event is the auction of donated goods and servic-es, from vacations, to fishing trips to works from local artisans. The funds generated from the auctions, live and silent, support programs and students which have recently been documented in news stories. The Oriental Cup Regatta, occurring concurrently with Harborfest, supports the Bill Harris Scholarship Fund.

The weekend offers great entertainment, all to support enhanced educational benefits for Pamlico County residents. While HeartWorks is primarily focused on classroom activity or academic pursuits, it also provides an extended range of learning experiences beyond a school environment.

An example of this broader scope of oppor-tunities has been the sponsorship of youngsters in the Bow to Stern sailing program in Oriental. Eric Vahlbusch relates a positive story about his experiences working with HeartWorks children.

“I was lucky enough to be involved in 2014 to help a few HeartWorks students have an opportu-nity to learn to sail. I was with these youngsters for only a couple of weeks, but Jim Edwards,

who operates the camp, really made the effort to ensure that those excited about sailing continued to get opportunities to sail. It was obvious to me and to Jim from the first moment some of the students boarded a boat, they had a gift, a nose for the wind, and a 6th sense of what to do. Jim has helped to cultivate that and has even intro-duced them to college coaches as well.”

In this year’s Hoop Hole Regatta, former HeartWorks students placed high in the rankings and have been invited to be helpers in the races. Vahlbusch added, “They have a real opportunity to have an impact on this sport. They deserve a lot of credit for recognizing the significance of this opportunity and for stepping up to take advantage of it.”

Remembering the summer that he first worked with the HeartWorks students, Vahlbusch con-tinued. “From my recollection and perspective, there was no student who did not take away something valuable. Many of them went swim-ming for the first time; most of them went swim-ming in water over their heads for the first time; all of them learned much about themselves, their abilities, their tolerance, their fear.”

The public is invited to participate in Harborfest for HeartWorks this weekend to taste the uplifting inspiration that Eric Vahlbusch and Jim Edwards felt. In addition to support-ing and being a part of such a critically needed program for Pamlico County youth, participating in the auctions can reap rewards that constitute a win-win, for Pamlico County youth, and for HeartWorks.

In addition to artwork, some of the highlights

ACS Artist Featured at North Carolina Museum of ArtAn Arapahoe

Charter School student artistic talents have earned her state-wide recognition.

The North Carolina Museum of Art sponsors an annual art competition orga-nized, juried, and

curated by teens for teens called Teens, Inspired. High School students across the state are invited to submit original 2-D pieces, sculptures, and poems inspired by art pieces in the museum’s collection. Each entry must be accompanied by an artist statement and photographs detailing the creative process. This year, over 160 students

submitted pieces to be judged by the NCMA Teen Council.

Chloe St. Onge, a junior at ACS, is one of only 36 artists selected for this year’s show. Her sculpture, Secret Escape, was inspired by Rabble, a rather large hanging sculpture of but-terflies grouped in the shape of a plane. She wrote, “I was able to see Rabble by Ralph Helmick and Stuart Schechtert during a field trip to the museum in the fall. I liked how the butter-flies and flowers hang all together and look like they are flying and flowing away. I’ve always been pulled to birds and butterflies because, to me, they represent freedom and grace.”

This is Chloe’s second appearance in the jur-ied exhibition. She was recognized at an awards reception on Saturday, August 27 in Raleigh. Teens, Inspired will be on display until October 2, 2016. ,

The work of Chloe St. Onge is current-ly on display at the NC Museum of Art.

Chloe’s sculpture, Secret Escape, was inspired by Rabble, a rather large hanging sculpture of butterflies grouped in the shape of a plane by Ralph Helmick and Stuart Schechtert.

QUICK REFERENCE

Aries (March 21-April 19)You are working hard this

week! Expect frustrations because Mercury retrograde takes place in the part of your chart relating to your job and

your health. This means old health issues might arise. It also means your job will suffer from mixed-up communications, delays, transportation problems and broken equipment. Furthermore, on Thurs. and Fri., the Full Moon will create tension with coworkers; and you have a short fuse! Use this an opportunity to demonstrate grace under pressure. To lift your spirits, make travel plans for the future and explore opportunities in higher education, medicine, the law, the media and pub-lishing. “I’m outta here!”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)Children, vacations, fun

escapes, romance, love affairs, the arts and pleasurable dinners with friends are tops on your menu. Plus your sex drive is amped! Yeah, it’s hard to get

serious about back-to-school responsibilities cuz you want to party! Old flames from the past as well as old issues regarding children are back on your plate because of Mercury retrograde. Disputes about shared property and jointly-held wealth will occur. Fortunately, relations with coworkers are smooth. Be patient towards the end of the week to avoid conflict with kids and romantic partners. Plan a celebratory dinner for Saturday. Ah yes, a meal without wine is called breakfast.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)Your focus on home, family

and your private life continues. Relatives have emptied your fridge, created laundry and messy kitchens. But hey, it’s just

what happens when you wrap up the summer. Your biggest challenge is fiery Mars is opposite your sign, creating tension between you and a partner or close friend. (Someone wants more freedom. Someone wants to change the rules.) Nevertheless, fair Venus promotes fun, entertain-ing diversions, love affairs and playful activities with children. Look for ways to express your cre-ative talents. Relax and be yourself. There is no need to pretend to be what you are not.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)This is a busy, fast-paced

time for you; and Mercury retro-grade has not made things easy. Car problems, transportation delays, cancelled trips and con-

fused communications are frustrating. (“Where’s my phone?” “WhereI can’t find my Kindle!” “I can’t find my kids!”) Fortunately, you have the energy to work hard now. New high-tech equipment might challenge you; but you’re keen to see ways to make improvements in your job. Where you are blessed is in matters related to home and family. This is a good time to tackle redecorating projects and make your home look more attractive. It’s also a good time to explore real-estate opportuni-ties, which are coming your way this year.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Sigh. Money is so useful

when you want to buy things. Although cheques in the mail are late and issues related to your finances are delayed (thanks to Mercury retrograde),

there are still ways for you to boost your income, so keep your eyes peeled. However, Leos are also still in party mode! (Someone has to take one for the team.) Fortunately, your schmooze skills are tops because fair Venus now greases the wheels in all your social interactions. Be aware that the Harvest Moon on Friday will a financial arrangement to culmination. This might please you; or it might mean that you have a standoff with someone. (More likely the former because your money scene looks very good right

now. Ka-ching!)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)There are some frustrating

issues for Virgos to deal with right now. For starters, retro-grade Mercury is in your sign

creating glitches, lost items, broken equipment, mixed-up communications, missed appointments and delays. (Oh well, there is a downside to punctuality: Nobody is there to appreciate it!) Just relax. You have lots of energy for renovations and home improvements right now. (Some of which are last-minute decisions.) The good news is that both Venus and Jupiter are in your Money House attracting money to you. They will also urge you to spend money on beautiful things. (Money can’t buy love but it does improve your bargaining position!)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Because your birthday is

approaching, it means your personal year is coming to an end. Use this time to make plans for your new year. Write down

some goals with deadlines. These are not chiseled in stone. You do not have to fear doing this. But if you specifically define some goals with deadlines for the coming year, it will help you to focus on achieving them. It’s a smarter way to live. Plus with Jupiter in your sign for the next 12 months, your life will be more fortunate and content, which means something favourable is going to happen. Factoid. Why not consciously steer your life in the direction you want it to go? Even if you’re in a witness pro-tection program.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)This continues to be a

popular time for you! Enjoy warm friendships plus an increased involvement with clubs, groups and associations. Contact with old friends and acquaintances

from your past will be meaningful because it’s good to have history with others. Because Venus is hiding in your chart, many of you are exploring secret love affairs. (This could be the reason some of you are spending more money.) Parents need to be patient with their kids this week because the Full Harvest Moon will create tension with them. (No matter how much I childproof the house, they still keep getting in!)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)This is a powerful time for

you because fiery Mars is in Sagittarius, and the Sun is at high noon in your chart. This means you have energy, drive and focus; and whatever you

do will be noticed by authority figures. In fact, this position of the Sun is flattering to you, so not only are you noticed by people in power - they admire you! Hmmm, connect the dots. Use this influence to push your agenda and go after what you want. “More porridge?” The energy of this week leading up to the Harvest Moon on Friday will be challeng-ing because you’ll be pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job and career. And you can’t please both. Oy vey.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Your desire to travel and

explore the world is strong now. Some will explore the world through education, reading, film and talking to people from other cultures. In fact, you might be

making big decisions about where you want to live in the future because right now, you’re letting go of things. You are saying goodbye to places, people, possessions, jobs and relationships. The reason for this is you are gearing up to that time around 2018 when you will begin something completely new, which could include moving to a new area. In fact, the change might be so dramatic you start to wear a different kind of wardrobe every day. Be cautious from Wednesday onwards because the end of the week is an accident-prone time for you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Past issues as well as some-

thing coming to a culmination now force you to focus on shared property, shared responsibilities, taxes, debt and anything that you own jointly with someone

else. Your mind is on money, assets and wealth. It’s particularly focused on your financial relationship with a partner. (Present or past.) You have to deal with these issues, and in doing so this week you will see that they will come to a head by Friday. After that, you have a clearer idea of the lay of the land, including your relationship to banks and financial institutions. Meanwhile, back at the gym, you will enjoy physically active sports and competitions. You want to show the world what you can do!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)This is an eventful week for

you because the Full Harvest Moon on Friday is in Pisces (the only Full Moon in your sign all year). It’s a given that this will create tension between you and

others, especially partners and close friends. To add fuel to this mix, fiery Mars is at the top of your chart arousing your ambition. This means you are a handful! If you have difficulty with others, don’t proj-ect your problems on someone else. Relationships are two-way street that is unpaved and full of potholes. Fortunately, intimate relationships will be affectionate and sexy. Furthermore, in the next few weeks, people will give you things. Literally. It’s a good time to ask for a loan or a mortgage, or to borrow something. Gifts don’t have to be hooks. Sometimes they’re just gifts, say, “Thank you!”

“Helping the Helpless”Spay and Neuter Assistance Program

PAWS provides low-cost spay and neuter assistance to those needing help to “fix” their pets. We issue vouchers for use at local vets, or at the Spay Today clinic in Greenville.

Our mission is to reduce the pet overpopula-tion problem in Pamlico County and surround-ing areas by preventing hundreds of unwanted, innocent animals from being born. They are often neglected, abandoned or killed in shelters so altering your pets before they breed is the humane and common-sense solution.

We are here to help! Take action today!“Saving one animal doesn’t change the world, but it

changes the world for that one animal.”PAWS is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that relies

solely on donations. Find out more about us and how you can help at PamlicoPAWS.net

To request assistance, call the PAWS “Help Line” at (252) 745-PAWS (7297) or email us at mail@PamlicoPAWS.net

“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.”

When the Pamlico News published A Conversation with Jim Ross, PCC’s New President, for our July 20 edition, the response was extremely positive. Because of this, we thought it would be of interest to our readers to have this type of conversation with Dr. Ross on a regular basis. As a result, each month he will answer some of the most frequent questions he receives from our community so we can get to know him, his leadership style, and his goals for Pamlico County better. Ross was selected after an extensive nation-wide search to become PCC’s fifth president.

• After being here for almost two months, have you adjusted well to living in Pamlico County? What is your impression of our county?

“I believe Pamlico County is one of the nicest places in America to live. My wife Pam and I love living here. This area has so much natural beauty with the water views and recreational opportuni-ties that are abundant in Oriental, where we live, and in much of the county. The cost of living is low. Most importantly, the people of Pamlico are among the most friendly and welcoming we have ever met. If you love rural living, as we do, it is hard to imagine that there is a better place to live anywhere.”

• Has anything surprised you about Pamlico County?

“It is a pleasant surprise that family is so very important here and that many families have largely stayed intact here. There is nothing more important in life than our families, and it is impressive that nearly everyone I meet is related to many people throughout this county. In addition, even those who are not blood relatives in Pamlico County still often seem like family members because they have grown up together. Pam and I originally come from a community very similar to this where the families are strong, and we appreciate this very much.”

• How have your first weeks as PCC president gone?

“I love being the PCC President! The past six weeks have been extremely successful because of our outstanding faculty, staff, Board members, and community partners. These have been among the best six weeks of my professional career, filled with excitement and lots of activity meeting many new people within the college and in the commu-nity. We are already establishing a shared vision to make PCC the best rural community college

in America in order to make many lives and our overall community better in important ways. The PCC family consists of highly qualified, caring, and dedicated professionals. Because of them, I am very optimistic about our future success in moving the college ahead in significant ways.”

• What are some of the most satisfying parts of your first weeks as PCC president?

“The fact that faculty and staff have responded with such enthusiasm to embracing a culture of innovation and positive change to benefit our com-munity is very satisfying. I am an idealist who believes our purpose is to make lives better here on Earth. Being the PCC President allows me to utilize this idealist nature to inspire our employ-ees and community partners to work together to achieve noble goals that make our world better.

“Being able to meet so many interesting and good people is very enjoyable. I have met one-on-one for at least an hour with more than one-third of our employees and will soon have met with each full-time employee. Communication is very important for any organization’s success, and these meetings have been extremely beneficial com-munication vehicles. We have gotten to know each other and as a servant leader, I have learned of ways we can help our employees do better in their positions. Their insights into ways our college can become better have been valuable.”

• It was quite an honor to see PCC honored recently as the third best community college in America by WalletHub. What were the most impor-tant benefits to PCC of this recognition?

“This didn’t surprise me because PCC employ-ees are among the best I have ever seen on a national scale. They routinely go above and beyond the call of duty in teaching and serving our students. The personalized attention students receive in all aspects of their educational experi-ence here is extraordinary and one key reason for PCC’s excellence in all aspects of the criteria used to determine the nation’s best. For example, PCC students have the fifth best graduation rate in the nation.

“This honor increases awareness within our community of what an outstanding college PCC is. The extensive publicity from this award lets the citizens of Pamlico County know they can get an outstanding education right here and they do not have to leave our county to do so. I believe the great secret in higher education is that community colleges can provide an outstanding education that

is just as good as the quality of most universities for the first two years of instruction. To be named one of the best among more than 1,200 com-munity colleges in America can serve to encourage others within Pamlico County to attend the first two years of college right here, get a great education right here, and save thousands of dollars they would have spent going outside the area.”

• What are your goals for the college going forward?“We want to grow the college through enroll-

ment increases so that many more people can have their lives improved through their community col-lege. To do so, we need to continue to raise aware-ness of PCC through the media; raise awareness through interactions with the community through partnerships with the K-12 schools, churches, busi-nesses, government, and civic organizations; raise awareness through one-on-one and small group meetings with parents and students; and expand courses and programs to better prepare graduates for jobs in demand. We need to increase vocational offerings so that local residents can be trained to fill positions which employers are increasingly in need of. We also should act as a liaison with regional employers and our community so that local citizens can know of upcoming needs for positions and receive PCC training to be qualified for those positions.”

• How are you becoming involved in the community?“Community is our college’s middle name. I

am enjoying meeting with elected, school, busi-ness, and civic leaders to ask their advice on ways PCC can better serve the community. I am enjoy-ing the local festivals such as the Rescue Squad’s 50th Anniversary, the Vandemere Waterfront Park Dedication, and other community events. I have become a Board member of the Chamber of Commerce and becoming a member of the Rotary Club. I am enjoying the tasty restaurants in our county and community treasures like the Heritage Center. I look forward to meeting as many com-munity residents as possible. I can be reached at jross@pamlicocc.edu or at 249-1851 ext. 3007 if I can ever help any member of our community in any way or if anyone would just like to meet to offer advice on ways our college can serve our community even better. Thank you for allowing my wife Pam and me to be your neighbors!”

Robert J. McAfee Superior Court Judge

“The pursuit of justice requires us, as good citizens, to entrust our judges with our own sense of right and

wrong, and to keep our judges to their oath to uphold the law and our Constitution as it is written. I am

asking for your vote, and for your trust, so that I can serve you as a Superior Court Judge. My experience and background will guide me, but that pursuit of

justice will lead me.”

www.facebook.com/McAfee4Judge

The year is 1805. Europe has fallen to Napoleon, and only the Royal Navy stands in his way to total victory. Off the cost of South America, a new conflict is brewing. Captain Jack “Lucky Jack” Aubrey (Russell Crowe) of the Man-of-War HMS Surprise is under orders to sink or capture the French privateer Acheron, which has been deployed to the region. After seven weeks of uneventful sailing, the Acheron strikes first, all but crippling the Surprise in an engagement in which Aubrey realizes his enemy’s ship is nautically superior to his own. Along with his close friend and confidant Stephan Maturin (Paul Bettany), who also happens to be the ship’s surgeon, Aubrey is now faced with the choice of retreating to England and admitting defeat or remaining at the Acheron’s mercy. Aubrey must now do the impossible if he is to survive, repair his ship, catch up to his enemy and defeat the Acheron ... somehow.

Master and Commander: Far Side of the World opens as the Acheron comes out of a fog to almost blast the Surprise out of the water. After barely escaping by hiding in the fog itself, the Surprise hobbles to a nearby shoal, where the gregarious Aubrey intends to put his ship back into action and Maturin begins to question whether Aubrey has not become obsessed with defeating the superior ship and her sneaky, resourceful captain. What makes this movie really take off, however, is a superb little performance by Max Pirkis, who plays a very young midshipman named Blakeney. Blakeney suffers a personal tragedy early in the movie, and the story follows him as he recovers from that tragedy and becomes friends with Dr. Maturin, with whom he shares an interest in biol-ogy. This subplot brings color and depth to all the action.

Director Peter Weir is a master craftsman at creating atmosphere, whether it be an Amish vil-lage, a crazy reality TV show or the strange reli-

gious beliefs of Australian aborigines. He does a superb job here of re-creating the period detail of the sea battles and human struggles during the Napoleonic Wars between England and France. While the naval battle sequences are quite fan-tastic, the film is successful because Weir chose to build the story to get to know the men who are locked aboard the tight quarters of a small ship and how they interact every day. The offi-cers and the mates are well-known by the time the final battle comes. Paul Bettany offers a strong performance as the surgeon and naturalist who balances the violence of his chosen life with the quiet demeanor of the scientist. He is the captain’s friend and confidant, the two frequently playing violin and cello duets together. The hor-rors of the injuries from the war are frequently implied, but vividly depicted in the reactions of the characters.

Pamlico County Heritage Day is October 1Staff and volunteers at the Pamlico County

Museum and Heritage Center are busy finalizing plans for their Heritage Day event to be held on October 1, in Grantsboro.

As in the past, the day will be filled with fun activities for the young and not so young! Children and youth will be able to ride ponies, play games, and from live demonstrations, learn how farming was done in the early 1900s. They can shell corn and wash clothes in an old wash pot. They can visit the NC Forestry Service to learn about forests. They can learn about 4-H. Children and adults alike can learn about services offered in Pamlico County such as Rescue Squad, Sheriff’s Department and Fire Departments. Who can resist a fire truck or a Sheriff’s new car?

Delightful entertainment will include Harbor Sounds and Ken Belangia as well as others not

confirmed as yet. And food! Current plans are to serve fish stew, hot dogs, collard biscuits and all kinds of bake sale items. Cooks are still needed for the fish stew cook off, for which a $400 prize sponsored by Mayo’s Seafood Restaurant, will be presented to the winner! Vendors will be selling different types of crafts, jewelry, cloth-ing, quilts, photography, and more, so Christmas shopping may begin!

Individual and business sponsorships are sought to defray some of the festival expenses. Tax deductible contributions can be made to the Pamlico County Historical Association.

Watch for final plans and the schedule of activities, but go ahead and mark your calendars for Saturday, October 1, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

For more information, or to register as a vendor or fish stew participant, please contact PCHA at 252-745-2239.

WEDNEsDay, sEPTEMBER 14, 20166 A CommentaryUp,Up and Away - Not

This week I want to talk about saving turtles and no, as some of you undoubtedly expect, this has nothing to do with fishing. This is not an unnatural response for many

given the emphasis on increased regulations, not to mention, out and out closures, in an effort to protect sea turtles. But no, this is not about fishing.

This is all about balloons - really.Admittedly I never thought much about balloons until recently.

There are all types of occasions when balloons are sent soar-ing into the sky. It’s a birthday party full of friends, family, and balloons. Some escape… A loved one passes away. Everyone in their family now release balloons for them every year…. A student thinks it would be a cool idea to release balloons to get attention for their club…. In the midst of a fair, balloons can just slip out of reach… A child lets go a balloon to watch it float away… Countless balloons are released around the world every day and yet few of us are aware that balloon pollution can have deadly consequences.

This very real threat hit home when I read that balloons are a hazard to wildlife - the consequences can be seen every day on the water. Ever wonder what happens to these balloons once they

are released, and where do they go?Balloons rise to an altitude of about five miles before burst-

ing as a result of the surrounding air pressure and fragmenting. The pieces then fall to earth and add to the general debris of litter. Balloon manufacturers will tell you that this is no cause for alarm because latex (from which most balloons are made), is biodegradable. This is true, but it can take six months or more for the rubber to break down and if not exposed to water or sun, may take longer.

Of more concern, however are the Mylar metallised balloons, from which helium filled balloons are mostly made. This foil-like material is recyclable but not biodegradable and so will persist in the environment for a long time if released into the air. Numerous non-profit organizations and charity groups perform mass balloon releases to raise funds. Many release balloons to mark special events or garner publicity for a cause.

Take note when you see balloons and you will notice they are everywhere in our society. These are all results of people not knowing about the dangers of balloons. If people knew, then they might tie that balloon extra tight around their child’s wrist, or think twice about all those years of letting them go as a memory or celebration. Why kill more life in remembrance of another?

Beach litter surveys have shown the amount of balloons and

balloon pieces found on the beach have tripled in the past 10 years. While some balloons burst, others just gradually deflate. But they all fall back down to earth where they can wreak havoc on wildlife on land, sea, and air. Dolphins, whales, turtles, and many other marine species, as well as terrestrial animals such as cows, dogs, sheep, tortoises, birds and other animals have all been hurt or killed by balloons. The animal is usually killed from the balloon blocking its digestive tract, leaving them unable to take in any more nutrients. It slowly starves to death.

The animals can also become entangled in the balloon and its ribbon making the animal unable to move or eat. Sea turtles are particularly at risk because they naturally prey on jellies, which balloons can easily be mistaken for, even with human eyes. Balloons can take years to break down, even the so-called “bio-degradable” latex ones.

This gives plenty of time for it to travel and encounter many animals that may mistake it for a tasty snack, or accidentally get entangled in it. Some states and countries have enacted laws regarding the release of balloons.

The Balloon Council, and other balloon industry entities, spend millions of dollars (who knew?) lobbying to keep balloon releases legal. Don’t listen. Let’s save some turtles in a big way with the very simple gesture of not releasing balloons.

Lots of wildlife will thank you.

The average American retires at about age 63, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. If you

enjoy your work, of course, you may want to go well beyond that age. But what if you don’t want to wait until 63 or so? Can you afford to retire

early? Possibly – if you follow these suggestions: • Research the costs involved. What will you do during your

retirement years? Will you travel the world or stay close to home, pursuing your hobbies? Will you downsize from your cur-rent home? How will you pay for health care until you’re old enough for Medicare? You will need to answer these and other questions to determine how much you will need to sustain a comfortable lifestyle as an early retiree.

• Invest more – and invest for growth. One big advantage in retiring at the usual age, or even later, is that it gives you more time to invest. But if you’re determined to retire early, you will almost certainly need to accelerate your investment rate – which,

in practical terms, means you’ll likely have to contribute more each year to your IRA and 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan than if you were going to retire later on. Plus, you may have to “ratchet up” the growth potential of your investment portfolio.

However, because growth-oriented investments typically are more volatile than other investments, you will be taking on more risk than you might otherwise. If you are truly uncomfortable with this risk level, you may need to re-evaluate your plans for retiring early.

• Cut down your debt load. It’s always a good idea to enter retirement with as few debts as possible – but if you want to retire early, you may need to be even more diligent in controlling your debt load.

• Know the rules governing retirement plan withdrawals. If you want to retire before age 59½ and begin taking distributions from your IRA or 401(k) plan, you will generally be subject to a 10% early distribution penalty, plus normal income taxes. (To withdraw your earnings from a Roth IRA tax and penalty free, you generally must have owned the account for at least

five years and have reached age 59½. You can withdraw your contributions at any time tax and penalty free.) However, you may be able to avoid the 10% penalty if you take “substantially equal periodic payments,” which are calculated based upon your age and other factors. Once these distributions begin, they must continue for five years or until you reach age 59½, whichever is longer.

Other rules apply to these distributions, so before taking any, you will want to consult with your tax and financial profession-als. And keep in mind that if your withdrawal rate is too high, you risk seriously depleting your retirement accounts, especially if your investments decline in value during the years you’re tak-ing these payments.

Most importantly, do everything early: Plan early, invest early (and don’t stop), and lower your debt load early. Getting a jump on all these activities can go a long way toward turning your early retirement dreams into reality.

Making Sense of Investing Want to Retire Early? Start Planning Now

As technology enthusiasts line up to get the latest smartphones, Attorney General Cooper reminds consumers to take precautions to keep personal information stored on mobile phones secure.

“Smartphones put a world of information in the palm of your hand. But if your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could be at risk of identity theft, credit card fraud and more,” Cooper warned. “Guard your mobile phone like you would your computer or your wallet.”

To protect personal information on smartphones, Cooper offered the following tips:

• Keep your smartphone locked. Set a passcode, pin or pattern on your home screen so if someone finds your phone they can’t access your applications or private information. Then set your phone to lock automatically after a certain period of idle time.

• Be cautious when downloading apps. Only download apps from trusted sources and make sure to check the ratings. Apps from untrusted sources may contain malware which can steal your personal information and install viruses onto your phone. Be sure to read the fine print to find out what

access the app will have, such as access to photos and con-tacts.

• Use wireless wisely. Connecting to Wi-Fi hotspots can cut down on your data usage but it’s important to make sure the network is secure. If you are using a Wi-Fi network at a res-taurant or library, ask an employee the name of the wireless network instead of guessing. Criminals will use a legitimate sounding name like “coffeeshop-guest” to lure unsuspecting users to a wireless network they have set up to steal your personal information. Don’t conduct sensitive business or banking transactions via public Wi-Fi.

• Don’t save passwords. Logout of websites and apps when you are done. Be cautious about allowing apps to save your username and password, especially banking sites or sites where your credit or debit card information may be stored.

• Turn off GPS function. Geolocation software pinpoints your exact location using your phone’s GPS latitude and longitude data. Many apps use this software to allow you to check in at a location or tag your whereabouts in pictures. While you may want to enable GPS for mapping or weather apps, use privacy settings to turn it off for photos and social media. Criminals may troll social networking sites and can use information about your location to target you.

• Turn on tracking. If included in your phone, enable the tracking feature that lets you find your phone’s location if it is lost or stolen. Most tracking features also allow you to wipe, or permanently delete, sensitive information from your phone remotely.

• Back up your smartphone. Your smartphone contains a lot of data—photos, messages, documents, contacts—that you’ll want to be able to retrieve if anything happens to your phone. Options for backing up your data vary depending on your phone’s operating system and your mobile service pro-vider. Research your storage options and then set up a way to save important smartphone data to the cloud or another device.

• Wipe data before you part with your old phone. Since your smartphone has personal information stored on it, be sure to permanently erase pictures, contacts and other information. Wipe the internal memory so there is no trace of any per-sonal information remaining. It’s also a good idea to restore the phone to the original default settings so your information doesn’t end up in the wrong hands.

Attorney GeneralRoy Cooper

Remember Security for New Smartphones

The final numbers are in on North Carolina’s budget surplus. They are informative. They ought to provoke significant discussion. Instead, they have gotten virtually no media coverage or public com-ment.

According to a new report from the office of State Controller Linda Combs, state government collected nearly $22.2 billion in General Fund revenue during the 2015-16 fiscal year that ended June 30. It spent about $21.2 billion on General Fund programs ranging from public education and Medicaid to prisons and regulatory agencies.

The cash surplus for the fiscal year, then, was just shy of $1 billion. The General Fund revenue surplus — the amount of tax and fee rev-enue that came in above the state’s original projection — was actually $430 million. In other words, most of the cash surplus was due to lower-than-expected expenditures, not higher-than-expected revenues.

That’s informative. State lawmakers, reporters, and policy wonks spent much of early 2016 speculating about the eventual size of the “April surprise.” But North Carolina’s revenue surplus this year ended up being slightly lower than the $447 million General Fund revenue surplus the state ran in 2014-15. The bigger story was that state spending fell $530 million below projections in 2015-16, vs. $416 million below in 2014-15.

More than three-quarters of the 2015-16 budget savings are attrib-utable to lower-than-expected expenditures on public education ($173 million) and Medicaid ($242 million). No, the state didn’t stiff schools or hospitals. What actually happened was that enrollments in schools and Medicaid fell short of projections. Some items and ser-vices also cost less than anticipated.

As for the revenue surplus itself, some attempted to attribute it to the (heartless) General Assembly raising sales taxes on poor people to pay for income-tax cuts for the wealthy. Again, the actual num-bers don’t square with that. North Carolina’s sales-tax revenues were indeed up over the 2014-15 fiscal year, but they actually fell short of projections by $185 million.

So why didn’t we have a revenue deficit? Primarily because

income-tax revenues were some $600 million above the forecast. North Carolina had more people employed, at higher incomes, than originally anticipated. So more revenue came in than projected, even though the marginal tax rate was dropping.

This does not prove, by the way, that the state’s cut in income tax rates “paid for itself.” We don’t know for certain what the baseline of employment and salaries would have been in the absence of North Carolina’s tax changes.

What we do know is that Gov. Pat McCrory and legislative leaders wisely used conservative forecasts of both revenues and expenditures when constructing their budgets, rather than rosy scenarios, so that the “surprise” at the end of the fiscal year proved to be welcome rather than unwelcome.

State policymakers didn’t take the resulting billion-dollar surplus and run off into fiscal fantasyland. They put much of it into savings — the state now has $1.6 billion in reserves to hedge against actual or fiscal rainy days, plus another $411 million to hedge against future Medicaid overruns. Lawmakers also enacted additional tax relief, mostly with an expanded standard deduction that disproportionately benefitted low- to moderate-income taxpayers, and put some addi-tional money into pay hikes for teachers and other priorities.

These fiscal-policy decisions should be prompting vigorous debate. Democrats could object that declines in enrollment growth and Medicaid costs are likely temporary. True, Republicans might respond, but we put lots more money into savings for precisely this reason — to insure against unwelcome budget news in future years.

This kind of exchange would help inform voters in the fall elec-tions. Constructing a state budget is the single most important thing governors and legislators do. It affects millions of people. But to be blunt, focusing the public’s attention on North Carolina’s recent fiscal and economic history would make voters feel better about the direc-tion of their state, not worse. It would not assist Democrats in unseat-ing Republicans. So don’t expect such stories to lead newscasts or make front-page news.

On this matter, I plead guilty to the charge of cynicism.John Locke Foundation chairman John Hood is the author of

Labor Day Over - My One and Only 80 Year-Old Vote

Here I am at 80 years of age: old, male, white, Christian, evan-gelical, minister, AF veteran, State alum, and most friends far more conservative than I. So why am I not in love with Donald Trump’s candidacy? From poet Browning, “Let me count the ways”.

He is a narcissistic super salesman, totally inexperienced in gov-erning, and an ignorant panderer on his “Two-Corinthians” Bible knowledge, Detroit churches, Hispanic leaders, Islamic phobias, Breitbart dirt, and military brass.

At the same time I am emphatically voting for Hillary Clinton because of her extensive experience, thoughtful demeanor, trusted

advisors, trailblazing energy, and history of working for those in need.

My local North Carolina corollary to this stance is working/voting for Deborah Ross over Senator Burr (part of US Senate gridlock); AG Roy Cooper over Gov. McCrory (disappointing on Medicaid, public education, voter suppression, and HB-2); Board of Education Susan Evans over Senator Barringer (part of Sen. Berger’s over-reach agenda); and Fuquay Teacher Randy Barrow over Rep. Stam’s empty seat (more House overreach agenda).

Never missed any vote, and who knows, could be my last-ever “suppressed” vote. I want it to count !!

After lunch the group enjoyed a tour of Lowland and got a close look at the oyster farming business. Daniel and Audrey reported that many of their guests had never visited this section of the county and had very good comments about the Community Center and the island.

Deaths

Farmers have been busy har-vesting the rest of their corn crops during this brief dry spell. The dove hunters have been busy hunting over the harvested fields. A lot of little animals like

opossums and raccoons have been feasting on the crops and have ended up being road kill. Watch out for all God’s creatures when you are driving the back roads in the county. We still have people from Florence/Whortonsville driving way too fast when they come around the curve at the intersection of Trent Road and Straight Road. It is dangerous to make a turn there. I still wish the DOT would make it a three-way stop for the safety of all involved.

The big MS ride took place this past weekend, in Beaufort County on Saturday and in Pamlico County on Sunday. Our Sherriff’s deputies were out early on Sunday morning to help direct traffic and keep everyone safe. I supported Julia Tingle from Oriental who participated as a cyclist again this year. I am so proud of all who ride for such a worthy cause. By Sunday evening, the only evidence there had been a ride was a few arrow signs and the port-a-johns at the waterfront. The waterfront had a

wonderful breeze and there were a few visitors fishing off the pier and the seawall, but they were not having much luck.

This past Sunday was Grandparent’s Day, but it was also the 15th anniversary of 9-11. Prayers were lifted up for those who lost their lives during this terrorist attack, and for those who responded to the attack. I am sure 9-11 was foremost in every-one’s mind, but I do want to also recognize grandparents as well, since many of us fall into that blessed category. We are very blessed with three Godly grandchildren.

While visiting at the hospital this week, I saw Reverend Mike Register grinning from ear-to-ear. He told me he was about to become a great granddaddy. What a blessing.

Celebrating birthdays in September are James Paul (9/17), Peg Witt (9/18), Fay Bond (9/29) and Ruth Mahlman (9/30). Celebrating anniversaries the month of September are, Kevin and Suzie Rodgers ( /10), and Chris and Maria Machle (9/27).

Have a blessed week. Greedy? Take Spiritual Vitamin G. “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6:38)

Looking out over Brown Creek this Monday morning, I see the water is very calm and still, look-ing like glass until a boat passes by causing a few ripples. Must have had a little shower last night. It breathed new life into my impatiens

that were beginning to droop. Missed church yesterday and when Reverend Caton came by to

check on us he said the congregation was small. Graham Lane, the minister for Trent Free Will Baptist Church passed away and the service was last Wednesday. He had been at Trent for a long time and was a great person.

Pamlico Chorale Board met last Wednesday at Brantley’s Restaurant to finalize plans for the twenty-eighth season. We are looking forward to a great season of music to be shared with our community. We have been asked to sing at the Business Expo.and Job Fair at Pamlico Community College sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce on September 27th. The Fair is from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We will lead the Star Spangled Banner and sing the Salute to the Armed Forces. Merchants will be at the Fair giv-ing away food samples etc.

We have all been watching the professional football players that have decided not to stand, or hold up clenched fists to pro-test social injustice. They have a right to do this, but it would be much more effective in the fight, if each of the players that is making millions of dollars for playing football would pledge a million to the cause. That would be hundreds of millions that could be used in the fight against injustice.

Nick Santoro’s book “Whortonsville Yacht and Tractor Club” is creating a lot of conversations in the county. It was brought up at the Chorale board meeting. Because some of it is fiction, and some is fact, it challenges me to determine which is which!

Woodmen Life met on Friday night with about fifteen mem-bers. We discussed events coming up, the Accidental Artist, Heritage Day, tickets for Mary Poppins, and Christmas Party. If you are a member of Woodmen you can look on the back of your Woodmen Magazine and call the numbers listed there to get in touch with an officer to take advantage of all these events.

Thanks to Lynn Speas for updating and documenting our music library for the Pamlico Chorale.

Thought for the week--Here is a test to find whether your mis-sion on Earth is finished: if you are alive, it isn’t.

of veterans. Clyde St. Clair Lupton, 1911-1999, and Sherwood Alexander Lupton, 1903-1942 both served in the U. S. Merchant Marines. They were brothers from Lowland. Sherwood died at sea and his name is on the memorial at the courthouse. He had five sons who served in the military.

Thank you Gladys for sharing your pictures.I would like to include pictures of Veterans in

this column. If you have a picture of a Veteran and can provide some information on his or her service, please let me share it with our readers. It is important to remember and honor our veterans.

Please help me by sharing your pictures with me to use in this column. I have used the old pictures from my files and the ones I could find at the museum.

of the auctions are a day-long offshore fishing trip this fall or early spring with Captain Gray Hardison on his Pee-Dab VI, a 35 ft. Carolina Classic. Captain Hardison will choose a good weather day during the heart of the fishing season that’s agreeable to both him and the successful bidder.

The captain placed in the top 3 in a recent Big Rock Marlin Tournament. Not a professional fisherman, Captain Hardison fishes for joy and pleasure and indicates he will do all he can to make this day as exciting as any charter trip out of Morehead City. This offshore fishing trip has a value of $1,800.

For the sailing enthusiast, there is a 10 day sailing vacation in 2017 on the catamaran Allicat sailing from the IGY Marina at Rodney Bay on the island of St. Lucia. The vessel has 4 cabin queen beds, 3 heads, a roomy cockpit with sun/rain enclosures, powered by twin 55 HP Volvo Engines. The Allicat is fully equipped with water maker, generator, AC, electric winches, electric windlass, a full Raymarine electronic package, 3 sails: main, jib, and code zero, Magnum propane Barbecue & other amenities for cruising.

Also available for the sailors are a 6 person dinghy and 30 HP Tohatsu and a single person kayak. The winning bidder receives the oppor-tunity for two couples to sail Jan 15 thru March 15 with owner/wife crew between St. Lucia and St. Martin, covering several islands, or April 10 thru December 15, sailing for three couples with an approved captain acceptable by owner. The guests who take advantage of this sailing vacation between St. Lucia and the Grenadines are respon-sible for airfare, food, alcohol, beverages, fuel for dinghy, and the fee for the captain if taken April 10 - December 15.

For a luxurious vacation which will not require air travel to its location, there is a vacation rental for a week at the Kahn House, 515 Beach Road North across the street from the ocean on beauti-ful Figure 8 Island. There’s plenty of room for friends in this 5 bedroom/5.5 baths vacation resort home which sleeps 13 people and includes all the amenities you would expect to find in such an exclusive setting.

Figure 8 Island is a serene, private ocean front community just minutes away from Wilmington

and Wrightsville Beach. No condos, no shopping centers or heavy traffic will spoil a vacation here. Figure 8 Island contains only privately owned single family houses with ample sandy beaches and protected water.

For those who are new to North Carolina, it might be hard to understand how the value of one item up for bid at Harborfest for HeartWorks could be more significant to some than a week of sailing in the Caribbean. Many newcomers to the state are beginning to understand the significance of college basketball over pro ball to natives. As it was described in the release from HeartWorks,

“You’re not dreaming, two tickets to die for, Carolina vs. Duke in the Dean Dome. These are great seats, mid-court, about half way up in the second level. Section 209, Row Q, Seats 7 & 8. The tickets are for a regular season matchup between these two basketball giants. The date of the game has not yet been announced, but you will not have anything more important to do on that date. If you could find these tickets anywhere else, they would cost an arm and a leg. We’re not asking for body parts, but open your wallet wide. It’s a dream game and the money goes to the kids.”

Those comments are quoted from the HeartWorks release and are a clear indication of the value of this auction item.

HeartWorks has a proven track record of improving the quality of life for Pamlico County youth, especially many who are classified as at-risk, have had limited opportunities, or face challenges beyond the classroom that impact per-formance in the classroom.

Jim Ragan, a HeartWorks Board Member and former District Court judge, said, “I have seen first hand the consequences in courtrooms of youth growing up to be offenders because of the challenges in their environment. I have also seen first hand how HeartWorks is making a difference. The care and nurturing these children receive at HeartWorks, while not a guarantee, surely does set the stage for a diminished probability that these youngsters will wind up as offenders facing a judge or jury. I am counting on many of our area residents to step up and support Harborfest; attending, being a sponsor, or bidding generously at the Harborfest auctions.”

The vote for the cameras came immediately fol-lowing a physical altercation that occurred the prior week between a deputy, who has been placed on administrative duty, and a citizen requiring medical attention.

Little information regarding the stop that turned physical during a routine traffic stop has been released as the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation is currently investigating the incident.

Following the altercation in which the driver needed medical attention, residents took to social media to question the use of force and whether it was excessive.

“After receiving conflicting witness statements from individuals at the scene, cell phone videos that were placed on social media sites and informa-tion received from citizens within the community,” Sheriff Davis consulted with District Attorney Scott Thomas about the incident and then finally, the SBI.

For his part, the Sheriff has said his office will “cooperate fully with the N.C. SBI investigation; however, we will not be releasing any further infor-mation regarding this incident until the investiga-tion is complete.”

It’s been nearly two weeks since the altercation occurred and just one since the vote by commis-sioners to fund officer-worn body cameras.

And once again, residents of Pamlico County are turning to social media to talk about the Sheriff’s Office. Though this week, most seem to be pleased

with the decision made to fund the cameras. One internet poster said she is absolutely in favor

of the devices. “Cameras settle the culpability issue,” said Paula

Rozov. Another resident, LuAnn Parins said she was in favor of body cameras as she believes “they may help prevent escalation in tense situations.”

However, some commenters are skeptical regard-ing what information may be released after inci-dents occur.

In July, Gov. Pat McCrory signed controversial legislation regulating the release of recordings from police body and dashboard cameras. Gov. McCrory argued that the law strikes a balance between improving public trust in the police and respect-ing the rights of officers, according to a report in the Raleigh News & Observer. The law which goes into effect Oct. 1 outlines rules regarding the footage—primarily that it is not considered public record. If denied access to a recording, members of the public must go through the court system and seek a court order to be allowed to see the video.

For their part, the Pamlico County Sheriff’s Office aims to provide transparency and fairness in application of the policies to be developed, accord-ing to Sheriff Davis.

After thanking Commissioners for funding “this needed resource,” he further stated the following.

“We believe that it will assist us in providing quality law enforcement while maintaining integ-rity and transparency for those working the streets on a daily basis,” Sheriff Davis said.

Isn’t it interesting that “stress” is part of the word “distress?” I think there might be a little stress going on for those mariners that find themselves in distress. However, there is a great way to lower your stress level if you ever end up in that situation.

First, let’s think about what a “distress” situation really is. When you light a flare, send an “SOS” or display some other distress signal, you are telling anyone that observes that signal that you need help solving a problem. You might say that you are in distress because you have gotten “in over your head.”

A distress situation is different than an emergen-cy situation. There are many emergency situations that you can deal with yourself, such as recover-ing a man overboard, or providing first aid to an injured passenger, just to name a few. On the other hand, when you are in distress, you need someone to help you.

Thinking ahead is one of the best ways to suc-cessfully get through a distress situation. Before you leave the dock, you should ask yourself two questions. First, “what is the worst thing that can happen to you at the worst time and in the worst place?” Second, “in that worst case scenario, do you have a signal that will reach someone that can help you?” If the answer is no, you are not prepared to leave the dock.

There are several deficiencies that can leave you without an effective signal. First, it is never advis-able to use a “hand held” VHF radio as your pri-mary means of communication. Its 5-watt output, short antenna and questionable battery power are just a few reasons why your signal may not reach help. Your 25-watt, long antenna, “vessel powered” VHF radio is far more effective in reaching help. Hand held radios are great; but only as “back-up” communication devices.

Regardless of the power of your VHF radio, if

a distress call goes out, and there are no mariners in the listening area, no one will come out to help you. In cases of inclement weather, off season peri-ods in cold climates, or in the middle of the night, etc., there may not be anyone around to hear you. But wait a minute, isn’t there always someone lis-tening?

There is no guarantee that someone will be lis-tening all of the time in all of the places that you might be on the water. However, instead of “some-one,” there might be “something” listening. That ”something” could be a satellite! That’s right, when all of your mariner friends are sitting in front of a fireplace or fast asleep, sending your distress call to “outer space” might be the best option.

At times and places where there are no radio lis-teners or visual observers, an “Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon” might be the link to survival that you want to have on hand. It is called an “EPIRB” for short, and the signal it sends to the satellites is forwarded and the nearest rescue unit.

An EPIRB is usually associated with “offshore” cruising where you are out of VHF radio range to shore stations and “near coastal” vessels. But remember, there are some locations inland that can be as remote as positions far offshore. So let’s make sure we all have the right signal if some-thing goes wrong! That will lower our stress level because we will know that help is on the way!

Until next time, we wish you clear skies, fair winds and calm seas!

The hip consists of a “ball-and-socket” joint that is formed between the Femoral Head and the Acetabulum, a part of the Pelvic Bone. As a result of the shape of this joint it is capable of a wide range of motion in all directions – for-ward and backwards, side-to-side, and rotation inwards and outwards. In addition to this large range of motion it is important to understand that because the hip joint joins the leg to the trunk there is a tremendous amount of force that must pass through this region with daily activities such as walking, bending, crouching and lifting. Due to the high amount of force, combined with the large range of motion, the hip must rely on a complex system of muscles to control and protect the area. These muscles include an outer system of muscles – including the Gluteus Maximus, Hamstring, Quadricep and Adductor group – as well as a deeper group of smaller muscles that provide an important sta-bilizing function. This deep group includes the Piriformis, Gluteus Medius and Obturator group.

Through a variety of causes such as prolonged sitting, repetitive movements, excessive use, previous injury, improper exercise, various ath-letic activities or lack of physical activity, one or more of the muscles of the hip region can become tight or weak. When this happens it will result in a “muscle imbalance” in the region, which will not only stress the hip joint itself, but it will place further strain on the other muscle groups as they now must work harder to com-pensate for the tight and weak muscle. Over time this strain can develop into what is known as micro-trauma. Simply stated, micro-trauma is a very small scale damage that occurs in the muscles, tendons, joint capsules and ligaments in response to small levels of strain. Initially this micro-trauma is not painful, but may be perceived as a mild ache or tightness in the muscles. Although small, this damage still needs to be repaired. The body responds to micro-trauma in a predictable way by laying down small amounts of scar tissue to repair the injured tissue. Unfortunately, over time this scar tissue will build-up and accumulate into what we call adhesions. As these adhesions form they start to affect the normal health and function of the muscles. In fact, they will often lead to pain, tightness, stiffness, restricted joint motion and diminished blood flow.

Another type of hip pain can result from irrita-tion to the nerves in the hip region. This occurs because as the nerves exit the spine and travel down the leg, they pass around, under, over and sometimes through the muscles in the hip region. When there is an accumulation of the scar tissue adhesions in and around the hip, the scar tissue can also affect the nerves. Just as the muscles need to be able to glide on each other, the nerves also need to be able to glide freely between the layers of the muscles. In many cases the accu-mulation of scar tissue can cause the nerves to become “stuck” to the surrounding muscles and fascia. It is quite common for a nerve entrap-ment at the hip to be misdiagnosed as a simple

“bursitis” or “tendonitis”.In an attempt to relieve hip pain, a variety of

treatment methods are used, either on their own, or in combination with other methods. Some of the more common approaches include anti-inflammatory medications, rest, ice, ultrasound (US), muscle stimulation (E-Stim), stretching and strengthening exercises, and, when all else fails, surgery. Unfortunately, most of these tradi-tional techniques generally require a long period of time before they provide any significant relief, and in many cases provide only temporary relief from symptoms instead of fixing the underly-ing cause of the problem. The main reason that these approaches are often ineffective is that they fail to address the underlying scar tissue adhe-sions that develop within the muscles and sur-rounding soft tissues. Passive approaches such as medications, rest, ice and ultrasound, all focus on symptomatic relief and do nothing to address the muscle restrictions and dysfunction. More active approaches such as stretching and exercis-ing are often needed for full rehabilitation of the condition and to restore full strength and func-tion of the muscles, however, they themselves do not treat the underlying adhesion. In fact, without first addressing the scar tissue adhesions, stretches and exercises are often less effective and much slower to produce relief or recovery from hip pain.

ART® stands for Active Release Techniques®. It is a new and highly successful hands-on treat-ment method to address problems in the soft tis-sues of the body, including muscles, ligaments, fascia and nerves. ART® treatment is highly successful in dealing with hip injuries because it is specifically designed to locate and treat scar tissue adhesions that accumulate in the muscles and surrounding soft tissues. By locating and treating the soft-tissue adhesions with ART®, it allows the practitioner to, one, break-up restric-tive adhesions, two, reinstate normal tissue flex-ibility and movement and three, more completely restore flexibility, balance and stability to the injured area as well as to the entire kinetic chain. An additional benefit of ART® is it allows us to further assess and correct problems not only at the site of pain itself, but also in other areas of the kinetic chain, which are associated with movement compensations and are often contrib-uting factors to the problem.

In our office, we employ a combination of treatments to include Chiropractic manipula-tion, ART® and physiotherapy. One of the best things about ART® is how fast it can get results. In our experience, the majority of hip injuries respond very well to ART® treatment, especially when used in combination with Chiropractic. Although each case is unique and there are several factors that will determine the length of time required to fully resolve each condition, we usually find an improvement can be gained in 4-6 treatments. To book an appointment to see if ART® and Chiropractic will be able to help with your hip pain, or pain in other areas, simply call Axelson Chiropractic at 252-745-0334.

Pamlico County Primary School

Pamlico County Primary School is excited to announce that we now have a set of 24 laptops on a cart that can be checked out to our classrooms. Pictured is Mrs. Katelyn Girard’s 2nd grade class doing a Kahoot! Activity. Here is what Mrs. Girard said about her lesson: “Today we used our new laptops to review for tomorrow’s math quiz. Students have been learning about odd and even num-bers and how to write numbers in different ways (expanded form, number form, word form, and in base ten. Using Kahoot, students competed against one another to answer math questions. Students were awarded points based on how quick they answered and if their answer was correct. The program encourages students as they go and it also gives feedback when they need it. My students were very excited to see their names and scores in the game and they were very engaged throughout the activity.”

WEDNEsDay, sEPTEMBER 14, 201614 A Things To KnowPCC Offers Roadmap to Wellness SeriesBy Townley Cheek

With summer coming to an end and winter just a few short months away, many people are dreading the infamous cold and flu season. Michelle Musella, PCC’s new Cultural Enrichment instructor, says she knows of some tips and tricks to help. How does she do it? Through integrative medicine.

Integrative medicine is heal-ing oriented medicine, focus-ing the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a per-son’s health. It combines the medical model with comple-mentary, alternative medicines and strategies.

“Over the years, I have learned a lot about the daily stressors in life, and I believe what I am teaching can help,” says Musella. “That is why I am working with Pamlico Community College through their Cultural and Life Enrichment pro-gram to offer a Roadmap to Wellness series. You can come to this class, we can talk about what is going on, and we will work on ways to heal.”

In this series, Musella will talk about the healing powers of Aromatherapy, Vibration, Acupressure and Auricular Acupressure, Ayurveda, Emotional Freedom Tapping, Reflexology, and Relaxation. These therapies can be used to help with a range of health issues many people deal with on a daily basis.

If you are having trouble sleeping, have a cold that just won’t leave, struggling with allergies, or even have an achy back or knee, you will benefit from this series.

Michele Musella, RN, MSN, Doctor of Integrative Medicine will be teaching the series.

Musella has recently retired after 43 years as a practicing nurse. She received her BSN from the University of Maryland, MSN from Old Dominion University, and her doctorate in Integrative Medicine from Capital University.

“I have been fortunate to have been able to use my holistic skills professional since 1996, and I want to share what I have learned and experienced to help others,”says Musella. “This class is for everyone. From patients battling che-motherapy, massage therapists, medical profes-sionals, and anyone interested in taking care of themselves for little to no cost.”

The Roadmap to Wellness series is scheduled for Thursday, September 22 and 5pm at the PCC Library. The cost to attend this session is only $5.

To learn more, or to register for the “Roadmap to Wellness” series, visit www.pamlicocc.edu or contact Jane Whitley at jwhitley@pamlicocc.edu or 252-249-1851 x 3033. Pamlico Community College is located at 5049 NC Hwy. 306 S. in Grantsboro.

Pamlico County Clean Sweep will be held Saturday, October 8 from 10am-2pm at any area of the county that you would like to collect litter.

We all do our part;That is how we start;Each sweeps up one little spot;All together small acts are an awful lot!

We are excited to invite everyone to join Pamlico County Cooperative Extension & 4-H as we help “Sweep Clean” our county of unsightly and dangerous litter. It’s easy to participate! Stop into the Pamlico County Cooperative Extension Office to collect gloves, trash bags, and safety vests (Supplies are limited so come in early!), then head out to your favorite spot in Pamlico

County. Collect as much litter from your com-munity (public spaces, roadways, beaches, etc.) as you can. A dumpster will be placed at the recycling center next to Gary’s Restaurant in Arapahoe, NC for folks to dispose of their col-lected litter. We will have collection report cards available for participants so we can record and report all our great efforts to protect and beautify our communities.
