Returning to the Rock For 60 years, the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament has drawn droves of spectators and media to the Morehead City waterfront.

Visitors and residents visit shops and restaurants downtown while waiting for an angler to catch the top prize, a blue marlin. While prizes are still awarded for game fish such as mahi mahi, tuna and 8

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2018

wahoo, the blue marlin weigh-ins are what draws the crowds to see who is at the top of the leader board and in the running for the purse, which annually tops $1 million.

Prior to 1957, the blue marlin was an elusive catch that most believed could only be caught in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

One had never been caught in the waters off Morehead City, though sailors often told stories of the blue marlin seen not too far offshore. Most were convinced these stories were just tall tales, but Morehead City’s Fabulous Fishermen Club decided to see if the stories were true.

The original members of the club were able to convince local business leaders to put a small cash prize together for the person to catch the first blue marlin. While boats began to venture further out, the first blue marlin wasn’t caught until Sept. 14, 1957. The angler was welcomed at the dock by an impromptu parade and a children’s red wagon full of the prize money.

This year’s tournament is scheduled for June 8-16, drawing anglers from up and down the coast. Blue marlin are brought to the scales as soon as they are caught, while game fish weigh-ins occur Monday through Friday from 4-7pm and on Saturday from 3-6pm.

The tournament kicks off with the Lady Angler Event from 6-9pm on Friday, June 8 at the Crystal Coast Civic Center. The Big Rock Lady Angler Tournament runs from 8am-2pm on Saturday, June 9, followed by the Captain’s Party at the Civic Center from 7-11pm. Tickets can be purchased at tournament headquarters or at the door.

Can’t make it downtown to see the big ones make it to the dock? Keep tabs on all the action with the tournament’s live feed at thebigrock.com.

Museum Honors History & Tradition Celebrate the maritime industry with Maritime Day from noon to 2pm on Saturday, June 9. Guests can sail in the NC Maritime Museum’s fleet of traditional wooden boats, cast a line with a cane pole, visit a pirate encampment, join in games or just relax and enjoy the music and spectacular view of Gallants Channel. The activities are free and open to the public.

All events will be held at the museum’s Gallants Channel location, 172 West Beaufort Road.

National Maritime Day is a United States holiday created to recognize the maritime industry. It is traditionally observed on May 22, the date in 1819 that the American steamship Savannah set sail from Savannah, Ga.on the first ever transoceanic voyage under steam power. The holiday was created by the United States Congress on May 20, 1933.

“We’re pleased that the Friends members realize the significance of the maritime industry to Carteret County and help (Continued on page 12)

Women of the Year Nominees Sought The Carteret County League of Women Voters is accepting nominations for its annual Women of the Year award through June.

24.

The award celebrates a woman’s career and community contributions as well as her leadership skills, mentorship and high ethical standards.

Visit lwvcarteretcounty.org to download the application form and information on submitting. The winner will be announced on Thursday, Aug. 23, during the annual luncheon.

On the Horizon – July 4th With so many different places to catch the fireworks along the Crystal Coast, it’s best to plan ahead. From concerts to parades, there’s plenty to do leading up to the main event, spectacular fireworks.

Morehead City Parks and Recreation Dept. added an additional date to the Concert in the Park summer series for Wednesday, July 4. The tunes will be flowing well ahead of the fireworks, giving visitors the chance to be entertained while grabbing a great seat

at Jaycee Park for the nighttime event. The Morehead City fireworks are set to go off at 9pm and can be enjoyed from any vantage point on the waterfront. It’s best to arrive early to get a good spot.

Beaufort takes an old-fashioned approach to the holidays with families, businesses and clubs taking to the street for the annual Fourth of July parade. Line the streets and watch the patriotic floats at 11am then head to the Carteret County Courthouse for free ice cream and music.

Along Bogue Banks, Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle both host fireworks displays. Atlantic Beach holds its display at the Circle, with parking around the circle, in the CAMA lot on West Boardwalk, the dirt lot north of Atlantic Boulevard and the paved lot to the south as well as the grassy lot on the 100 block of East Bogue. The town recommends carpooling, walking or biking to help with traffic congestion. Fireworks begin at 9pm and should be seen from nearby oceanfront locations and neighborhoods.

The Emerald Isle Fireworks are launched off the Bogue Inlet Pier. Parking is available at the pier and along Hwy 58. The display begins at 9pm and should be visible from Bogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway.

county perspective

Tom Kies, President Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

Insurance Increase in Effect Oct. 1 Homeowners in Carteret County will see an increase in their insurance, although much less than was proposed by the NC Rate Bureau last year. Instead of the proposed 18.7 percent increase statewide, the increase will be 5.5 percent. Under the original proposal by the rate bureau, Carteret County homeowners would have seen a spike of 25 percent.

Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey said in a news release, “I have negotiated a rate that will have minimal impact on the coast yet keep the state’s insurance companies financially sound. On the Outer Banks, residents with a $200,000 home will see an average rate that is more than $400 less per year than what the NCRB originally proposed.”

According to the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce’s Legislative Agenda, “The Carteret County Chamber supports efforts by the General Assembly to reform the homeowners’ insurance rate-setting process used in North Carolina, and specifically to seek a fairer rate structure for homeowners’ insurance in coastal North Carolina.

When the original proposal was made by the NCRB, County Commission Chairman Mark Mansfield wrote a letter to Mr. Causey that said, “Homeowners in Carteret County already pay the highest base rates in the entire state. Current base rates are already 4-5 times

higher than many other areas of North Carolina, and the requested 25 percent increase will only increase this disparity further, with rates nearly six times higher than some other areas in North Carolina.”

In January, Mike Causey rejected the NCRB’s proposal and set a hearing for July 23 in Raleigh. Because of the negotiated compromise, the dispute didn’t’ have to go to hearing. According to the state insurance department, insurance companies will increase their rates by an average of 4.5 percent. That will vary according to territory (Carteret County is in Territory 120) and most coastal areas will see a 5.5 percent increase. The agreement also covers insurance for tenants and condominiums that will be capped at 12 percent.

According to the state insurance department, the rate settlement will save consumers approximately $293 million in the first year alone, compared to the rate bureau’s proposed increase. The last time an insurance rate increase was put into place for homeowners was in 2012. At that time, the rate bureau’s case was settled for an average statewide increase of 7 percent.

While this is relatively good news, Carteret County still has to be on the defensive. Coastal residents and local government officials are gearing up to fight a recent additional proposal by the NCRB to significantly raise rates for second-home owners.

chamber connection

Tom Kies, President Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

Chamber Welcomes Vacationers to Crystal Coast The Carteret County Chamber of Commerce is now operating in “full summer mode,” according to Board Chair Millie Chalk. “We are reminding visitors, second home owners and all others that we are the ‘Official Chamber of Summer’ at the Crystal Coast.

“The staff is committed to offering the highest quality of customer service to all who seek our assistance,” she added.

One of the perks of visiting downtown Morehead City during the summer season is that if the temperature on the town’s sidewalks reaches 93 degrees, the chamber is the place where you can stop in, enjoy the air conditioning, cool off, and peruse all the information we have in our lobby. Just step inside chamber headquarters at 801 Arendell St., Morehead City.

Let the Chamber’s 2018 Business Directory be your guide on where to eat and where to shop. Carteret County is known for having some of the best dining spots in eastern North Carolina.

Chamber staff is always eager to offer their suggestions for a great family itinerary of places to see, places to go and things to do at the Crystal Coast and in Carteret County. Travel the waterways and backroads for adventure, history and to discover coastal treasures.

Cape Lookout National Seashore is at the top of the list. The present Cape Lookout Lighthouse was completed in 1859 and has an overall height of 169 feet. The signal light, which flashes every 15 seconds, is visible for 19 miles. It is the only lighthouse known

to have a black and white diagonal, checkerboard daymark pattern that indicates compass direction.

When sailors saw a black lighthouse with a white diamond pattern, that meant the ship was sailing east or west. When sailors saw a white lighthouse with a black diamond, that meant the ship was sailing south or north.

But to the sons and daughters of the Core Banks, the lighthouse just means home. Learn all about it at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center on Harkers Island. Vacationers can drive their cars to Harkers Island. Then take the ferry over to the Cape … and bring you back!

One of the highlights of summer is the Chamber’s Reverse Drawing on Saturday, Aug. 18, which is a casual dinner party at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City. Tickets are $100 each, which admits two people for the evening’s festivities and open bar. Plus, each ticket holder has a chance to win the grand prize of $10,000 in cold, hard cash.

This is the chamber’s primary fundraising event of the year, and a good time is always had by all.

For more information, call the Chamber at (800) 622-6278 or (252) 726-6350. E-mail requests may be sent to tom@nccoastchamber. com. The chamber office is located at 801 Arendell St., Suite 1, Morehead City, NC 28557.

~Emerald Tidings~ NC Insurance Commissioner Approves 5.5% Rate Increase for Emerald Isle

The NC Rate Bureau (the entity representing insurance companies in North Carolina) requested a 25% (homeowners) and 40% (tenants and condominiums) increase in insurance premiums for permanent homes in Emerald Isle in late 2017. After reviewing the request and considering significant public input (thank you to those who commented!), NC Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey approved a 5.5% (homeowners) and 12% (tenants and condominiums) rate increase for Emerald Isle on April 18.

The town is pleased that the approved rate increase is significantly lower than requested (5.5% and 12% is certainly better than 25% and 40%), but continues to have concerns about the overall unfair rate structure used in North Carolina. Because Commissioner Causey essentially approved a similar increase for nearly all areas of North Carolina, Emerald Isle property owners (and those in other barrier island communities) will continue to pay insurance premiums that are 4-5 times higher than many other communities. The town recently hosted top staff from the NC Dept. of Insurance in Emerald Isle, reiterated these concerns, and again requested that Commissioner Causey work with the NC General Assembly and others to implement a fairer rate structure.

A separate rate increase request for second homes and vacation rental units (nearly 40%) is still pending a final decision by Commissioner Causey. The town, and many of our property owners, submitted comments to Commissioner Causey in March, and the town remains hopeful that this requested increase will also be rejected or significantly reduced. A final decision on this request is expected sometime in the coming months.

Emerald Isle property owners are advised to carefully review their insurance renewal notices to determine the amount of any premium increases. Some insurance companies utilize a procedure known as “Consent to Rate,” which allows the insurance companies to charge higher rates than those approved by the NC Insurance Commissioner (with your voluntary consent that may be provided unknowingly). If you experience larger increases, please contact your insurance agent and/or shop around for the most affordable coverage, as there may be multiple options available.

Town Seeks Committee Members for New Emerald Isle Fishing Tournament

Under the leadership of Commissioner Mark Taylor, the town is working to establish a new Emerald Isle Fishing Tournament in 2019. The new tournament is tentatively planned for late summer/early fall 2019, primarily as a boat-based tournament targeting Spanish mackerel and flounder, with event proceeds dedicated for future Bogue Inlet dredging efforts and college scholarships. The goal for the new tournament is to develop a successful and enjoyable fishing tournament for fishermen in our community, and also to lure additional visitors to Emerald Isle.

The town is seeking volunteers interested in serving on the organizing committee. If you are interested in serving, please email Rhonda Ferebee, Town Clerk, at rferebee@emeraldisle-nc.org to express your interest.

Emerald Isle Voted Best NC Beach in USA Today Poll

Emerald Isle was fortunate to receive the most votes in the recent USA Today poll of the best beach in North Carolina! The town is pleased to receive this recognition from a respected national publication, and thanks everyone who voted for Emerald Isle! To check out the final results, visit www.10best.com/ awards/travel/best-north-carolina-beach.

NCDOT Installing Pedestrian Crosswalks Along Hwy 58

Thanks to assistance from NC Rep. Pat McElraft, NCDOT will soon install three new pedestrian crosswalks along NC 58 to promote safer and easier pedestrian crossings. The new crosswalks will be outfitted with a special flashing beacon that is activated by a push button and will alert approaching motorists to the presence of pedestrians. The new crosswalks are planned for the Islander Drive intersection, the Town Government Complex, and at the Ocean Drive “dog-leg” intersection. NCDOT hopes to complete installation by June, if not sooner.

~Emerald Tidings~ (Continued from page 24)

emeraldisle-nc.org/see-for-yourself-why-nice-matters-in-emerald-isle.

All of us at the town recognize what a special place Emerald Isle is for our residents, second home owners, visitors, and businesses, and the narrative below sums it up well:

“Welcome to Emerald Isle, North Carolina, a beautiful oceanfront community that is truly the gem of the North Carolina coast. Emerald Isle offers an excellent quality of life for those who are fortunate to live here and a premier vacation experience for those looking to escape to paradise for a little while!

We pride ourselves on our small-town atmosphere and family beach image, and with 12 miles of south-facing beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, and bordered by beautiful Bogue Inlet and Bogue Sound, Emerald Isle is the place you’ll want to call home, purchase your vacation home, retire to, or visit … again … and again … and again!

Emerald Isle occupies the westernmost 12 miles of Bogue Banks, a barrier island located along the Southern Outer Banks.

Known as the Crystal Coast, the entire area boasts a pristine natural environment with excellent water quality. Enjoy great swimming, surfing, or boogie boarding in the Atlantic Ocean, or simply relax with a cold drink and take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the most beautiful beach you’ll ever find!

Hop in your boat, and get ready for great offshore and inshore fishing, take the kids water skiing, wakeboarding, or tubing, or just pull up to a sandbar and soak in the sun, sand, and saltwater!

Looking for a more relaxed and peaceful pace, then launch your kayak or stand-up paddleboard, and get away from it all in the calm waters and marshes of Bogue Sound. Whether you’re on the beach or in the sound, don’t be surprised to come across a pod of dolphins, beautiful egrets and ospreys, and perhaps a nesting sea turtle! You’ll probably see a fish or two also.…

But there’s far more to Emerald Isle than the sun, sand, and salt.

When you need a break from all of the fun in, on, and near the water, hop on your bicycle and enjoy more than 11 miles of dedicated bicycle paths, hike the trails at our 43-acre soundfront nature park, enjoy some fresh local seafood, take in a summer oceanfront concert, get some delicious ice cream, view the amazing sunset at The Point, or walk (or fish!) along Bogue Inlet Pier!

Emerald Isle has it all, yet maintains a friendly, relaxed, and unpretentious charm that is reflective of the great community of people that make up Emerald Isle. Emerald Isle has nearly 7,000 residences, for every taste and every budget, and remains one of the most affordable beach communities on the East Coast. If you’re looking for your dream home, or if you’re just looking for a great vacation rental, the first-class real estate and vacation rental agencies will strive to meet your every need so you can focus on what you came here for – to relax, enjoy yourself, make lifelong memories, and spend quality time with family and friends!

The Town of Emerald Isle, the town government, strives to provide the highest quality service to our residents and visitors, and is continually working to make Emerald Isle an even better place than it already is! Our tagline is “Nice Matters”, in every way, and it won’t take you long to understand that’s what life is all about in this truly special place…”

Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 5K Contributes $36,000

The 5th annual Emerald Isle Marathon, Half-Marathon and 5K Races were held on March 10, with a total of 725 finishers on a beautiful spring day in Emerald Isle. Thanks to a great turnout, great sponsors, and great volunteers, the races generated total net proceeds of $36,000 that have been distributed to two great causes.

At the April 10 Town meeting, Race Director (and town commissioner) Candace Dooley and race committee members presented a check for $18,000 (50% of race proceeds) to the Town’s 26

Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee for future bicycle and pedestrian improvements in Emerald Isle. Dooley and the committee members also presented a check for $18,000 (50% of race proceeds) to Little Pink Houses of Hope, a breast cancer charity that routinely provides vacation opportunities for breast cancer victims in Emerald Isle.

Since its inception in 2014, the races have raised approximately $240,000 for bicycle and pedestrian improvements in Emerald Isle and various health charities. Thank you to all who have participated, supported, and volunteered for this great annual event over the past 5 years!

McLean-Spell Park Acquisition Nearly Complete

The town has taken ownership of the 30-acre tract now known as McLean-Spell Park. After several months of hard work, federal and state grant funds ($2.545 million) will be released for the consummation of the $3 million+ land acquisition.

Area Scouts, led by Emerald Isle resident and Eagle Scout candidate Jack McCabe, have been working in recent weeks to improve existing nature trails and construct new trails for the public to explore. This work is complete, and the new park is now open for public use. The primary park access point is located at the end of the Town Government Complex driveway between the EMS Station and Fire Station 1, off Emerald Drive. Parking is available at the Community Center parking lot, and it’s just a short walk west along Archers Creek to the primary park access point. This primary access is temporary, and will be replaced with a new pedestrian bridge over Archers Creek near the Community Center this fall. Until the new bridge is completed, please use the EMS Station/Fire Station 1 primary access point.

Neighborhood park access points are also located along Sound Drive in two locations. There is no parking available in this area, and these access points are for pedestrians and bicyclists only. Park visitors traveling by car should park at the Community Center.

Enjoy the new park, and please respect the privacy of the adjacent neighbors. A special dedication ceremony is scheduled for June 11, and the public is invited to attend this celebration of Emerald Isle’s newest park!

Dog Park Committee Reviews Potential Locations

The town’s new Dog Park Development Committee has been hard at work in recent months, and has been evaluating five town-owned sites for a potential new dog park.

The committee has reviewed potential locations at Emerald Isle Woods Park, at the new McLean-Spell Park, near the Blue Heron Park tennis courts, at Sen. Jean Preston Memorial Playground, and adjacent to the Town Administration Building. After considering all locations, the committee is now focusing on a 1-2 acre area in the new McLean-Spell Park and will be working to identify the specific location in the coming weeks.

After the location is approved by the board of commissioners, the committee will begin identifying desired design features and begin fundraising efforts. The committee is eager to make a dog park a reality in Emerald Isle within the next 1-2 years. Stay tuned for more information on how you can contribute to these efforts!

Be Safe on the Bicycle Path!

Emerald Isle residents and visitors are fortunate to enjoy more than 11 miles of dedicated asphalt bicycle paths throughout the town.

The bicycle path represents an alternative method to travel around Emerald Isle, and is also a great way to exercise and stay in shape.

Varina

By Charles Frazier Anyone who has visited the Southern White House in Richmond has seen the spot where the son of Jefferson and Varina Davis fell off a balcony to his death. Charles Frazier, author of “Cold Mountain,” has returned to the Civil War era with his latest novel based on the life of Varina Davis, the first lady of the Confederacy.

In this day of discussion concerning the removal of monuments Frazier has written a fascinating account of a woman who lived through the turmoil of the period and offers her take on the reasons for the conflict.

Varina Davis and her husband adopted a light-skinned black boy while they lived in Richmond. That is a fact. Frazier has taken that tidbit of history and has created a character who visits Varina Davis in her later years at a retirement home in Saratoga Springs, NY. James Blake, the adopted slave boy, interviews Mrs. Davis over six Sundays as to her life and her relationship to Jefferson Davis. The story follows Varina from her teenage years in Mississippi to her escape from Richmond as the Yankee army is approaching.

When you are an accomplished author you can take liberties with style. Frazier creates his own flair from excluding quotation marks to creative sentence structure. The style is confusing, but his prose is crisp and imaginative. The story is both uneven and provocative. The author is a master of language who can override any style anomalies with fresh and inviting storytelling.

Frazier has captured the historic complexity of the time with keen insights from Varina as she recounts her years in Washington and Richmond with her husband.

The true story of her life is almost as interesting at this fictional account. In this novel truth and fiction merge into a seamless narrative of tragedy and survival. Varina Jefferson lived until 1906.

Readers will find Varina a courageous woman and the period of her life one which challenged those who faced danger and hardships. Strong personalities make for compelling characters, and Frazier has given literature a bold woman who is worthy of a fictional biography.

The historic seaside village of Beaufort will be opening its doors for the 58th annual Old Homes & Gardens Tour on June 22-23. This annual tour features 12 of Beaufort’s beautiful private homes, 10 gardens, multiple local churches and artists’ studios throughout the town.

This year the Beaufort Historical Association changed the name from the Beaufort Old Homes & Gardens Tour to the Old Homes Tour and More. This change was made because the week of this year’s tour will be offering much more than Beaufort’s wonderful private homes and gardens.

Tickets for the tour are $20 and are on sale now.

From small cottages to beautiful waterfront homes and quaint gardens, this year’s tour will also feature the restored buildings on the historic site, a musical concert, the annual Kick Off party, a Literary Luncheon with two well-known authors, a VIP dinner and a closing Jazz Brunch featuring a New York interior designer.

These events were added to compliment the tour and to offer guest more events to enjoy while visiting the town of Beaufort for the Old Homes Tour.

Starting off the events for the Old Homes Tour is the annual Kick Off Party on June 2 with great food, featured Old Homes Tour artist Paul Minnis, and the third annual Bartenders Challenge. Join the Beaufort Historical Association in thanking the home owners and sponsors at this social event, tickets are $30.

The Literary Luncheon, held on Wednesday, June 20, will feature New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe and local bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey with their newest beach reads along with lunch at the Coral Bay Club. Tickets to the luncheon are $40 and are limited.

Following the Literary Luncheon on Wednesday, June 20 is the VIP Literary Dinner with Mary Alice Monroe at Beaufort Grocery Co. paired with award winning wines. Tickets for this special dinner are $125.

A free evening choir concert at Purvis Chapel will take place at 7pm on Thursday, June 21, paying tribute to Old Homes Tour Honorary Chairs Patricia & Charles Phillips.

Wrapping up the Old Homes Tour events will be a closing Jazz Brunch at 11am on Sunday, June 24at the private home of Debrorah & Charles Llewellyn. Tickets for this special brunch are $80 and feature a presentation by New York interior designer Marshall Watson with his design book “The Art of Elegance” and catering provided by Scarborough Fare.

Tickets for the Old Homes Tour and accompanying events are on sale now and can be purchased at the Beaufort Historic Site Welcome Center located at 130 Turner Street in downtown Beaufort or by calling the historic site at 252-728-5225. Tickets are also available online for purchase at www.beauforthistoricsite.org.

at the AQUARIUM Dinosaurs!

The aquarium is bringing the past to life, as it becomes a time machine for the summer of 2018. Travel back to the days of dinosaurs and hear them roar! You will be greeted by a life-sized tyrannosaurus rex. Strike a pose with it for your next post. Allow your imagination to take you back millions of years. The 21-foot-tall, bird-like Utahraptor, the long-necked brachiosaurus and other bygone beasts seemingly come to life as you approach. You might want to duck when you pass the two dilophosauruses – unless you want to get soaked.

Dinosaurs 2018 features several species of life-sized, realistic, animatronic creatures, most of them from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Enjoy this experience free with admission or membership, but don’t wait too long. The Dinosaurs 2018 are only here for a limited time.

Make sure you take plenty of pictures and check out our website for different ways to enter and win prizes through the Dino Might Tour 2018.

Additionally, you can enjoy Doughnuts with Dinos and get an exclusive look at the Aquarium and its unique visitors before we open for the day. This treat is for ages three and up with an additional fee.

Sun, sand, music – the magical recipe for a perfect day along the Crystal Coast. And thankfully to an array of outdoor music series, there are plenty of opportunities to put those ingredients into the blender. Few things are as ideal as sitting next to the water, a warm breeze rippling up off the water and the sounds of music wafting through the air.

Downtown Morehead City Revitalization’s Alive at Five program holds concerts twice a month and strike a note as the work day closes on a Friday. Held at Jaycee Park on the Morehead City waterfront, the free performances begin at 5pm. This month, music lovers can expect to hear The Bounce Party and Liquid Pleasure. For more information, call 252-808-0440 or visit www.downtownmoreheadcity.com.

Spare Cha nge Also using Jaycee Park as the backdrop is the Morehead City Parks and Recreation Dept., which holds a concert each Saturday night through August with a bonus performance on July 4.

Concerts run from 7-8:30pm. Bring chairs or blanket, or anchor nearby in the boat to enjoy the sounds of Red and White Hots, 4EverAll, Liquid Pickle and others during June. To learn more, call 252-726-5083.

In Beaufort, Thursday evening is the night for live music. Head down to the waterfront for its season Live on Thursdays series that brings music in a variety of genres during the summer months.

Amidst a beautiful historic backdrop, 4EverAll the Friends of Fort Macon hold an annual summer concert series. Performances begin at 6:30pm on various Fridays with a few 1pm Saturday matinees thrown into the mix. The series sees bands perform on the parade deck of the fort and guests finding a resting spot on the stairs and grass that surround the stage.

June performers include The Morehead City Brass Consortium, Telluride and Saltwater Gold. For more information, call 252-726-3775.

At the other end of Bogue Banks, Emerald Isle’s EmeraldFest music series takes full advantage of those ocean breezes at the Western Ocean Regional Beach Access. The concerts, beginning on Thursday, June 7 with Pure T Mommicked, bring a variety of genres to the stage, from country and blues to reggae and rock. Music runs from 6:30-8pm each Thursday Morehead City Brass through August. To learn more, call 252-3546350.

Neighboring Swansboro holds its own concert series, aptly named SwanFest.

Running Sunday evenings through Sept. 2, concerts are held from 6:30-8pm at the pavilion at Olde Town Square along the downtown waterfront.

For any of the concerts mentioned, lawn chairs, blankets and other comfort items are welcome. Alcohol is prohibited although guests are welcome to bring non-alcoholic beverages and snacks to enjoy.

Minding Our Manners at the BEACH

Summer season’s greetings from Bogue Banks, as vacationers and second home owners, families and friends are invited to make memories of their days and nights spent with us here at the Crystal Coast in the Summer of Two-Aught-Eighteen.

To ensure a good time is had by all, we turn to the “beach etiquette police,” a posse of civilian inspectors who come out during the summer to patrol, observe and make mental notes.

The goal, of course, is to eliminate all infractions this year.

We’ll present this with a positive spin, so second home owners who rent or have frequent guests may want to clip, save and display – guidelines for proper beach etiquette. Rental management companies can do the same with the units they oversee.

Thank you for not littering the beach. The “Advice with Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee” blog, which is run as a service of Dr. David H. Freidenberg, an emergency physician, and his wife, Dr. Deanna Chew-Freidenberg, a medical research statistician and consultant, suggests the beach can be breezy, so be sure to stash trash so it won’t blow away.”

“Bring plastic or paper containers only. No glass items should be at the beach. Clean up your spot when you leave,” say Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee. Dara Continenza, a freelance writer, based in Boston, contributed a beach etiquette article to SmarterTravel.com, which was reprinted in USA Today. She says trash that gets 38

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2018

into the water “is exceptionally harmful to marine life.” Plastic soda rings and Styrofoam cups are often mistaken for food by sea turtles and birds and “they can die trying to digest the material.”

Wendy Squires is a freelance writer, based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. In a piece she wrote for The Sydney (Australia) Morning Herald, she swats litterbugs: “The beach is a place of pristine beauty. Those who repay nature’s spectacle by leaving rubbish do not deserve to be there. End of story.

Show some respect. And while you’re at it, grow…up.”

Thank you for not smoking on the beach. But if you must, position yourself so secondhand smoke does not intrude on the air space of others.

Continenza writes: “Remember, the beach is not an ashtray.

Cigarette butts are harmful to the environment, because they do not biodegrade in sand and can leach toxic chemicals and carcinogens into the water.”

Thank you for respecting the space of others on the beach.

Once a space on the sand has been staked out by another party, don’t crowd in or set up camp in front to block their view of the ocean. The etiquette writers seem to all agree.

Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee say: “Keep a good distance from others when setting up, and never block the view. If you have a tent, canopy or beach umbrella, do not set up in front of others already there.”

Jen Doll, an author and freelance writer, based in Brooklyn, N.Y., added that blocking the view of someone who’s already claimed his or her spot should be grounds for “beach dismissal.”

Judi Franco of New Jersey 101.5 FM Radio (WKXW) in Trenton, N.J., wrote “The Ten Commandments of Beach Etiquette.” She suggests “at least five yards of space from other beachgoers on holiday weekends … and 10 yards on regular beach days.”

Thank you for keeping your dog on its leash at the beach.

Please observe local ordinances related to walking dogs on the beach and always pick up after your pet. “While many breeds are good swimmers,” Continenza says, “dogs can get caught in nasty riptides just as easily as humans can.”

Make sure to bring drinking water to keep your dog hydrated.

(It’s important for humans, too.)

Thank you for using the restrooms off the beach. Squires says she loves to call people out who don’t. She might say very loudly: “You, yeah, you, standing silently in knee-deep water. I know what you are up to, and it is called polluting. Go swim in a septic tank if you want to treat the ocean like one.”

Thank you for not feeding the seagulls on the beach. Never, ever. Not only is this annoying, it’s unhealthy for the gulls. Don’t let your kids feed them, either. Franco says feeding gulls “is one of the most egregious beach offenses.”

Continenza explains: “These birds need to forage and stick to a natural diet; handouts of bread, crackers, chips or fast food… can make them sick and lead to overcrowding in places that humans frequent, like beaches. Don’t fall for it when those gulls come begging. There are plenty of fish in the sea for them to snack on.”

Thank you for not playing loud music at the

beach. No one has been appointed the official beach DJ, so keep your tunes to yourself. The boom box is passé. Plug in … so everyone can enjoy his or her own playlist … and everyone can hear the sound of crashing waves in the surf zone.

Thank you for not playing games in crowded spaces on the beach. Be considerate, and set up your “play area” a good distance away from the people, suggest Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee. Stay clear of “high-density areas where others are lounging, so you don’t trample blankets, kick up sand or accidentally hit a beachgoer in the noggin” with a Frisbee or ball, advises Continenza.

Thank you for applying your sunscreen safely on the beach. In other words, don’t spray that stuff near me.

The New Jersey state website reports: “Secondhand sunscreen has surged to the top of human-created beach hazards and annoyances.”

“Inadvertently we’re getting a lungful of someone else’s spray-on sunscreen as … most of it wafts off into the breeze and right into someone else’s face.” The government says it may be OK to take a few hits of oxybenzone, titanium dioxide, octinoxate, retinyl palmitate and other potentially harmful chemicals … but then again it may not be OK. Thank you for not shaking out your sandy towel near others at the beach. Etiquette advocates Continenza, Franco and Squires all agree: One of the absolute worst things people do at the beach is to shake out their towel or blanket and have the grit pepper their neighbors.

Thank you for protecting your children at the beach. Children should be supervised at all times.

Thank you for not flying drones over the beach. “Drones may be fun, and they may be cool,” Franco says, “but they bother people and infringe on their privacy.” Nobody wants to look up and “see a little mini aircraft taking photos of them.”

Thank you for attentively surf fishing at the beach. Fishermen need to keep their rods staked on higher ground, so beach walkers don’t get tangled in their lines.

Mental Floss is a contemporary digital media company based in New York City that compiled its own top-15 “retro” list of beach rules. Two that were not mentioned by other sources cited here do deserve mention, because these guidelines are important at the Crystal Coast: Thank you for filling in your holes on the beach. “If you’re digging a hole in the sand, make sure to fill it back up before you leave to prevent anyone from falling in and getting hurt.

You should do this regardless of how deep you dig,” the Mental Floss article advised.

Some older people who walk the beach tend to have brittle bones. Stepping into a hole, falling and breaking a leg or a hip could ruin their vacation … and make the hole-digger liable.

Thank you for heeding warnings at the beach. Pay attention to what the lifeguards say and learn the meaning of the colored flags. Know what to do if you’re caught in a rip current.

Enjoy every moment at the beaches along the Crystal Coast, where the water sparkles like crystal.

mayor’s notes

Mayor Trace Cooper

Deck Inspection Program Offered As we enter another summer in Atlantic Beach, I would like to relay some information about a new public safety program in our town and encourage all homeowners to take a simple action that could help prevent injury – inspect your decks.

If you love Atlantic Beach, you love salt air. The salt air, however, can be rough on our houses and pretty much anything else that is left outside most of the time. Decks are particularly susceptible to the elements. Many decks were not constructed with stainless steel fasteners and, over time, the nails holding boards down or the bolts holding the deck together can corrode and eventually fail. And, even treated lumber starts to breakdown after years in the salt and sun.

Led by our building inspections department, the Town of Atlantic Beach is implementing a voluntary deck inspection program for vacation rentals that is modeled after the program put in place by our neighbors down in Emerald Isle. The program encourages vacation rental agencies to require certificates of inspection for the decks of the homes listed by these rental agencies. The inspections would occur annually and can be done by an engineer or licensed general contractor. The goal of the program is to catch problems before decks are loaded up with visitors during the summer.

Although this new program applies to vacation rentals managed by rental agencies, we encourage all property owners to have a professional inspect your deck from time to time. This is particularly important for older decks. From the town’s perspective, deck problems are one of the building maintenance issues we must

deal with the most often. If you would like our building inspectors to inspect your deck for you, they are happy to do so. Just call our Planning, Zoning, and Inspections Department at (252) 726-4456.

We have been fortunate in that we have not had any injuries resulting from deck collapses in Atlantic Beach. But the danger posed by older or damaged structures highlights the public safety role of Building Inspectors. When most people think of public safety at a municipality, they think of police and fire departments, and rightfully so. But the Inspections department plays an equally important role in making sure that buildings are built in a manner that ensures the safety of its users and that buildings remain in a safe condition over time.

In recent years we have made a lot of progress on placemaking and quality of life initiatives in Atlantic Beach. And, we are continuing to work on some big improvements in these areas. But, in my view, the primary responsibility of municipal governments is the safety of our citizens. Across all our departments, we have some of the best in the business working hard to keep you safe. As mentioned above, this goes beyond our decorated police and fire departments. It includes our building inspections department. It includes our water department which constantly monitors our drinking water to ensure it is safe. And, it includes our public works department which ensures our streets and sidewalks are safe and that our beaches are free from debris. I sleep well at night knowing that we have absolute pros keeping me and my family safe. You should too.

Beware: 'Marco Polo' Infests Local Swimming Pools Community swimming pools at the Crystal Coast are now open for summertime family fun.

An improvement in local pool rules would be the enforcement of a time limit on the in-the-pool game known as “Marco Polo.” Emptynesters proclaim that one of the most irritating sounds of summer is the repeated sing-songy, high-pitched refrains of “Marco … Polo.”

For generations, kids have played this water game, whereby the swimmer who is “it” must keep his or her eyes closed and try to find and tag one of the other players without the use of vision.

The player who is “it” shouts “Marco,” and the other players respond by shouting “Polo.” The “it” player tries to “acoustically locate” the other players. When a “Polo” player is tagged by “Marco,” that player becomes the new “it.” And the chanting resumes.

The exact origin of the game is uncertain, but, there once was a great Venetian explorer in the 13th century named Marco Polo. He was born on or about Sept. 15, 1254, in Venice, or Constantinople or on the island of Korcula in the Adriatic Sea. Historians of that period aren’t quite sure when and where.

Family members were jewel merchants. As a teenager, Marco joined his father, Niccolò Polo, and an uncle, Maffeo Polo, on an expedition along the “Silk Road” from Italy to China. Like “Marco” in the game, the explorers were often reported to be “blind” as to their whereabouts on the trail as well as clueless about where they were going.

One story tells that while traveling to China, Marco actually got separated from his family and responded with “Polo” as they called

for him with “Marco.”

Marco Polo traveled to other lands as well, including India, Japan, Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia to amass great wealth. There is new evidence that he may have reached the coast of what is now Alaska.

The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., reported that a set of 14 parchments, surfaced in 2014, offering new insight about Marco Polo’s journeys and maps. The parchments were traced back to having been in the possession of Marco Polo’s three daughters, Fantina, Bellela and Moreta.

Marco Polo is believed to have spent 17 years in China as a confidant of Kublai Khan, the Mongol emperor. In 1271, Kublai Khan established the Yuan dynasty, which ruled over Mongolia, China and Korea, and he assumed the role of Emperor of China.

At the time, Kublai Khan’s realm reached from the Pacific Ocean to the Black Sea and from Siberia to what is now – one fifth of the world’s inhabited land area.

Marco Polo died Jan. 8, 1324, at the age 69. His writings and description of the Far East and its riches were believed to inspire Christopher Columbus many years later. In 1492, Columbus set out to reach Asia by sea via a westward route from Europe. (A heavily annotated copy of Polo’s book was among the belongings of Columbus.)

At least, the poolside chant of “Mar-co…Po-lo,” with two syllables per word, is “less irritating” than had the game been named after “Chris-to-pher…Co-lum-bus” with three syllables per word.

Who wants to invent Marco … Polo earplugs for grownups?

To Stretch or Not to Stretch I believe one of the most misunderstood areas of exercise is stretching.

Regularly, I hear clients say, “Oh, I should stretch because I am so tight and my back hurts.” Then I see them walk out the door without doing any stretching.

Everyone can use increased flexibility because stretching makes your daily movements feel better.

I spoke to a physical therapist/ personal trainer and co-owner of Crystal Coast Wellness and Performance Center Pauline Shiver Juhle about whether to “stretch or not to stretch?” She responded with, “Most of my clients who come in with lower back pain is a result of tight hips and hamstrings.

Some of this pain can be alleviated or prevented all together with a

regimented flexibility program.”

Juhle suggests long, prolonged loading of each muscle for approximately 1-2 minutes for each muscle group at least one time and paying attention to the problematic areas. Her intention for prolonged stretching is the longer the stretch is held the better tissue health or extensibility is created leading to increased versatility and overall flexibility.

Stretching should be done daily after a slight warm up. You never want to stretch cold muscles because it could make them more susceptible to injury. Once you are properly warmed up start stretching with large muscle groups such as the hamstrings or quadriceps, then progress to smaller muscles like calves and hips for the lower body.

The upper body could start with a nice chest and back stretch then progress to arms and shoulders. It is important to note, there should be no pain during stretching. Albeit, there will be slight discomfort, but never pain. If you have any questions about stretching or flexibility don’t hesitate to reach out to a certified professional such as a massage or physical therapist.

health & wellness Healthy Ways to Relieve Stress Through the Day Stress affects people from all walks of life, and the causes of stress are as varied as the people it afflicts.

In its 2017 Stress in AmericaTM survey, the American Psychological Association found that the three most common sources of stress were the future of the nation (63 percent), money (62 percent) and work (61 percent). According to the National Institute of Mental Health, routine stress that becomes chronic can result in a host of negative side effects. Such stress can suppress the immune system, disrupt digestion and have an adverse effect on sleep. But men and women who feel stressed at the end of each day need not resign themselves to sleepless nights and/or weakened immune systems. A proactive approach to alleviating stress during the day can help men and women reduce their stress levels and avoid the negative side effects associated with chronic stress.

Walk away. The APA notes that taking a break from a stressor is one of a handful of healthy techniques that research has indicated is a successful way to reduce stress, both in the short- and long-term.

If a project at work is proving especially stressful, step away for a short period of time to do something else, whether it’s to go for a brief walk or converse with a coworker about something unrelated to the project. Avoiding the stress entirely, especially if it’s a work project or a bill that must be paid, is not the answer. But a short break from the stressor and thinking about it can provide a new perspective and time to calm down.

Meditate. When stressed out, men and women should not

discount the potential benefits of meditation. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University examined more than 19,000 meditation studies, ultimately concluding that mindful meditation can ease stresses like anxiety, depression and pain. The APA notes that such meditation has been found to reap immediate benefits, potentially helping people who can find time to meditate during the day to prevent their stress from accumulating throughout a hectic workday.

Find time to exercise. The APA notes that research continues to support the notion that exercise is as beneficial to the mind as it is to the body. Exercising several days per week is especially beneficial to mind and body, but even 20-minute exercise sessions, including a walk around the grounds of an office complex or a quick swim during a lunch break, in the midst of stressful days can help people combat stress for several hours afterward.

Delegate more. Work is the third-leading source of stress among Americans. Men and women who feel overworked may benefit by delegating more tasks during their days or simply stepping back and taking on less work. The potential effects on your career of taking on less work will likely pale in comparison to the toll chronic stress, which can contribute to heart disease and stroke, takes on your body.

Stress is a part of daily life for many people. But there are several simple and quick ways for stressed out men and women to reduce their stress during the day.

Prevent Summer Learning Loss Summer vacation presents an opportunity for students to enjoy an extended break from the classroom. While this respite from routine may be a welcome change to youngsters, teachers frequently lament that valuable educational lessons seem to be forgotten each summer.

Educators then face tougher hurdles when students return to school in the fall.

Such a phenomenon is dubbed “summer learning loss,” but it can occur during any extended break from school. Scholars have realized for some time that students’ rate of academic development declines during summer vacation. Oxford Learning, a tutoring and education training group, offers these eye-opening statistics: Over the summer, students tend to lose 2.6 months of math skills and two months of reading skills.

Summer learning loss can be seen in students as young as 6.

It can take up to two months from the first day of school to get students’ brain development back on course.

Summer learning loss, sometimes called “brain drain” or the “summer slide,” can be prevented. Proponents of year-round schooling at The National Association for Year-Round Education recommend a more balanced school year, where summer vacation lasts only 30 days and other school breaks are lengthened. In this scenario, the school year would still last about 180 days, but without the lengthy breaks.

Parents may prefer the status quo, and those who do can take several steps to prevent summer learning loss from affecting their children.

Stick to a schedule. Try to maintain a schedule similar to school, with children waking at the same time each day and going to bed at similar hours. This will make it much easier to get back into a routine when a new school year begins.

Encourage more reading. Schools recommend summer reading lists, but students should also learn to read for pleasure.

Research from the National Literary Trust indicates reading for pleasure can improve reading attainment and writing, as well as one’s general knowledge. Children can bring books to the beach that they can read between frolicking sessions in the waves.

Ask teachers for work packets. Students can stay on top of their studies by doing some light schoolwork throughout the summer. This can reinforce lessons kids have already learned and keep their minds sharp.

Enjoy family game nights. Games can be customized to highlight certain skills that require reinforcement. For example, mathcentered games that require counting or addition can strengthen generalized math skills. Problem-solving board games may help children become better critical thinkers.

Find Education Camp Programs. Many children attend

camp for a portion of their school breaks. Look for camps that do not simply babysit children, but engage them through enrichment activities.

Make vacations educational. Add travel to historical sites or other places of interest to help history come alive. When visiting new towns and cities, read the placards that explain important moments in history that took place in each town or city, making sure to include some thought-provoking areas of interest on your itinerary.

Look for science moments. Trips to the beach, parks and much more present myriad opportunities to learn about science.

Children can stage their own experiments with items they find in nature, such as learning about tides, wind and water flow by sailing homemade boats.

Purchase a journal. Encourage kids to write about their summer adventures in a journal. Chances are their teachers will ask about summer vacations and may require an essay when students return to school.

Teach kids through daily tasks.

Barbecuing, making a cake, building a raised garden bed, seeding the lawn – each of these moments present educational opportunities for parents who want to keep their kids’ minds sharp during summer.

Children need not fall victim to summer learning loss when their days are filled with educational but fun activities.

Coastal Kids Fashion Trends for Children – Spring/Summer This season is about bold colors lots of fun patterns and retro meeting modern fashion.

There are certain things the experts suggest you add into your child’s summer wardrobe.

Polkadots: a vintage look but very modern and a style easy to dress up and down.

The oxford shirt: oxford shirt is not for Sundays anymore it’s trending in the casual wardrobe of all little boys. Wear it untucked with sleeves rolled.

Printed shorts: as Lily Pulitzer did so well with her printed fabrics you can now find it in all labels. Printed shorts for boys and girls. The more casual team up well with graphic tees.

Embroidery: is showing up in dresses tops and pants. Cute when paired bike shorts or leggings. And don’t forget a sweater for a cool summer night.

Berets: Although very popular, in our warm climate I can’t see these going very strong during the spring and summer but watch out for fall and winter it’s the most popular hat being sold. For our summers I would check out more of a baseball cap or fun boaters hat for something dressier and of course we always have to have our sunhats.

Guava the color: all forms of shoes are showing up in this mustardy color call guava – sandals play shoes and dress shoes. It is definitely the color for the season.

Coastal Kids

Choosing the Right Summer Camp Many families spend winter figuring out how to chase away cabin fever and endure frigid temperatures until spring and summer mercifully return. Parents thinking ahead to swimming pools and days lounging on the beach often find a harsh reality when trying to decide what to do with the children over the summer when both parents work outside the home.

Youth recreational programs and summer camps can bridge the gap in care between the end of the school year and the day when classes resume. And there are many to choose from along the Crystal Coast. From parks and recreation departments to the Summer Sailing Program at the NC Maritime Museum, summer programs provide kids with a great way to learn new things and make new friends that may attend other schools in the area.

When searching, be sure to look beyond your own neighborhood.

Sometimes, the best fit for your child may be in the next town over.

Parents should also: Ask for recommendations. Speak with fellow parents and trusted friends about where they send their children. Personal recommendations can be very helpful, providing firsthand insight into a particular camp or program. Schedule appointments to visit camps that fall within your budget. Take your son or daughter along so he or she can get a sense of what camp will be like.

Explore all options. Camps come in more flavors than ever before.

Certain camps may be faith-based ministries while others may focus on particular sports. Band camps and art camps may appeal to creative kids. Also, there are plenty of general-interest camps that offer various activities without narrowing in on any particular one.

Parents may need to choose between a sleepaway camp or day camps, depending on which camp experience they want for their children.

Inquire about camp schedules. While many camps are flexible, day camps do not have the same level of flexibility as after-school programs. Arrangements will need to be made if care is required after regular camp hours. Speak with camp staff to see which types of after-hours programs, if any, are available.

Determine your camp budget. As varied as program offerings may be, camps also can vary greatly with regard to cost. Governmentrun camps may be less expensive than those offered by private companies. Day camps cost less than those that provide room and board. Find out if a particular organization subsidizes a portion of camp costs. Scouting programs often have a dedicated camp and may offer affordable options for scouts. Martial arts schools and dance centers frequently offer camp schedules.

If camp seems out of reach, look into local summer recreation programs at parks or schools. Such programs may not be as extensive as those offered by camps, but they can quell kids’ boredom and keep children occupied during the day.

In addition to camp, remember to plan for some free days so children can just enjoy some downtime. Such days can break up the monotony of a routine and provide kids and families time to relax together.

Summer recreation time is here, and it’s the perfect time to step outside the normal routine and try something new.

Life in the South

South Takes Pride in Little Debbie’s The bakery that was owned and operated by O.D. and Ruth McKee has made Chattanooga, Tenn., “a sweeter place,” according to CityScope magazine.

This is the story about the origin of Little Debbie and how that development enabled Debbie McKeeFowler to grow up to become an executive with McKee Foods Corporation.

Reporting for CityScope, Meghan O’Dea noted that when O.D. and Ruth McKee moved to Chattanooga in 1933 from Hendersonville, NC, during the Great Depression, they were “just trying to make ends meet.”

The McKees had lost most of their money due to a bank failure in Henderson County, North Carolina.

In Chattanooga, O.D. found work selling 5-cent Virginia Dare Cakes made by Becker’s Bakery out of the back of his car, a 1928 Whippet 6 sedan, manufactured by Willys-Overland. It was a twotone blue beauty. O.D. removed the rear seat so he could carry more product.

“Despite the tough economic times, the McKees not only kept food on their table, they saved enough money to buy a bakery of their own,” O’Dea wrote.

In 1934, the McKees acquired Jack’s Cookie Company in Chattanooga and began producing their own soft cookies, cakes other baked goods.

Ruth became a full managing partner in the business. While O.D. traveled the state making sales, she baked, managed the office and took charge of the few employees they had. They were, as the company’s official history put it, “ideal business partners because her cautious, conservative nature was the perfect complement to his risk-taking, adventuresome spirit.”

In 1936, the McKees sought to expand into the Charlotte market.

They gave the keys to the Chattanooga store to Ruth’s father, Symon King, and moved to Charlotte, where O.D., who “always had a gift for innovation and automation,” built a new, state-of-the-art Jack’s bakery, according to Milling & Baking News.

The McKees sold their Charlotte bakery in the early 1950s and returned to Chattanooga to manage the family bakery. Ownership had passed along to Ruth’s brother, Cecil King. In 1954, O.D. and Ruth purchased the company stock, and the McKee Baking Company was incorporated in 1957.

That same year, the bakery operation moved to new quarters in Collegedale, Tenn., about 19 miles east of Chattanooga.

In 1960, the McKee Baking Company made history in two ways.

First, after leading the industry in mass production of small snack cakes, it conceived the “family” pack of 12 individually wrapped cakes sold as one multipack unit.

Second, the Little Debbie brand was invented and Little Debbie was discovered. O.D. was trying to come up with a catchy name for their new family-pack cartons of snack cakes. Packaging supplier Bob Mosher suggested that using a family member’s name might be a nice, wholesome choice and a good fit for the brand.

O.D. was looking at a photograph of his granddaughter, and it struck him. Blue-eyed Debbie McKee, pictured in play clothes and her favorite straw hat, would become Little Debbie, and that picture would appear on every family pack box of Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies.

Little Debbie quickly became a member of America’s households. More than 14 million Little Debbie cakes were sold within the first 10 months. While the Oatmeal Creme Pie was the original Little Debbie snack cake, there were 14 different varieties available by 1964.

Today, Little Debbie dominates the US snack cake sections of grocery stores, with more than 50 percent market share, led

by Oatmeal Creme Pies, Nutty Bars, Figa-roos, Caravellas, Golden Cremes, Devil Cremes, Swiss Rolls and about 75 varieties in all.

Estimated annual sales for McKee Foods is $1.4 billion.

McKee Foods also markets granola bars, granola cereals and other bakery products under its Sunbelt label, giving the company a significant presence in the health foods segment as well.

According to journalist William Stern, now affiliated with the law school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville Tenn., McKee Foods is “the feisty competitor that sells its products for 50-70 percent less than other comparable items. More surprisingly, the company’s net margins after such heavy undercutting are approximately 6 percent, while the average for the industry is 5.5 percent.”

“Giant corporations have giant overhead, while McKee is a family business. McKee maintains its low overhead by employing an independent distribution system and by expanding production only to keep pace with demand,” Stern said.

The company officially changed its name in 1991 to McKee Foods Corporation, and to keep up with the company’s steady growth, McKee Foods opened two new bakeries, one in Gentry, Arkansas, and another in Stuarts Draft, Va. McKee Foods is investing $102 million at its Collegedale site to expand manufacturing operations as well as to construct new office space and a conference center. This project will create about 50 new jobs.

CEO Mike McKee, one of four third-generation McKee family members now on the management team, said: “We’re thrilled to be increasing our production capacity and supporting the community we love through new jobs and investment in the local economy.”

In 2013, the company was successful in its $27.5 million bid for the Drake’s snack cake brand as part of the Hostess Brands, Inc. liquidation. (Drake’s was founded in 1896 in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City as The N.E. Drake Baking Company.)

Drake’s products include Ring Dings, Yodels, Devil Dogs, Yankee Doodles, Sunny Doodles and Drake’s Coffee Cake.

The Drake’s duck mascot is named Webster. He’s not exactly “pet material,” but Little Debbie will enjoy having him around the family estate in Ooltewah.

The eight-bedroom McKee home was built in 1991 and sits near Harrison Bay on Chickamauga Lake. The reservoir along the Tennessee River was created when the Chickamauga Dam, part of the Tennessee Valley Authority, was completed in 1940.

Meghan O’Dea’s article commended the McKee family for its many monetary contributions in the Chattanooga area. The McKees have been especially supportive of educational endeavors and projects to create and preserve “outdoor spaces where area families can play and enjoy time together,” O’Dea said.

“My grandparents wanted all of us to work hard and to have stewardship to God, family and our community,” said Debbie

McKee-Fowler.

“Grammie talked over and over again about treating all people with dignity and respect. And, of course, Granddad was famous for saying there is always a better way of doing something, and it is our responsibility to find it.”

Little Debbie Ain’t Quite What She Used to Be You might say the Little Debbie logo went to the spa in 2013 to “be refreshed.”

The original black-and-white photograph of Debbie McKee from 1960, when she was about three-and-a-half years old, was selected by bakery founder O.D. McKee, a proud grandfather, to forge a new image for McKee Foods.

That photo was turned over to Pearl Frush Mann, a renowned artist from Atlanta, who was hired to create the brand’s logo. When Little Debbie was brought to life through color, she was advanced to age 8 or 9. It worked. American consumers embraced their darling Little Debbie … especially Southerners.

“Our Little Debbie logo had not been modified since 1985, and it was looking a little dated, so it was time for a minor touch-up,” said Executive Vice President Chris McKee of McKee Foods. (He is the brother of CEO Mike McKee.) Now, the new Little Debbie’s auburn hair is slightly darker, styled with a tad more contemporary cut, and has fewer curls.

She’s wearing a more updated plaid shirt with a rounded “Peter Pan collar.” (She wore a lace-embroidered pointed collar before.)

Little Debbie is still wearing that cute straw hat, but the hat string has been removed.

The red ribbon also now has a more modern flair.

Chris McKee said: “We opted to make small and subtle changes because we wanted to keep the same wholesome look that was based on an original portrait of my cousin, Debbie McKee-Fowler.”

“The outside of the box may look a little different, but what’s inside is still the same – delicious, freshly baked snacks from our family to

Serving all of Bogue Banks Since 1986

yours,” Chris McKee said.

Is Little Debbie the New ‘Breakfast of Champions?’

Investigative reporter Ben Cohen of The Wall Street Journal believes he has found Little Debbie’s “secret admirer” – the University of Alabama’s head football coach, Nick Saban.

Saban starts each day with Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies … and ends each day the same way.

Cohen reported that Saban typically doesn’t take time to make fresh coffee in the morning. He puts a cup of yesterday’s coffee in the microwave.

Coach described the process: “Punch in 1-1-1, walk out to the road and get the paper, come back – beep, beep, beep – the coffee’s ready. I get me two Little Debbie cookies, sit down, read the paper and have my coffee.”

“I don’t know how you can go wrong with that combination,” said Mike Gloekler, a spokesman for McKee Foods, which owns Little Debbie.

Saban was just getting started on his day, when the ESPN “College Game Day” crew showed up at his office in Tuscaloosa in 2016 to tape a commercial for the show.

On-air personalities Lee Corso, Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard are seated before the coach’s throne. They appear mesmerized as Saban rips open a Little Debbie’s and fumbles it onto the carpet. He snatches it before the clock has wound down to onethousand-two and takes a deliberate and delicate nibble, savoring the enjoyment.

Crimson Tide alumni say that is a testament to the university’s commitment to run a “clean program” from top to bottom.

On a normal day, Saban will nip a few more Little Debbie’s by mid-morning. “Then,” he says, “I have a couple at lunch. A couple at night. Maybe with a glass of milk before I go to bed.”

Impatient for Spring Have you noticed how impatient we have become as a society?

Even the tech avatars Siri and Alexa frustrate our need for instant gratification: “I’m sorry, I do not understand that command”. We no longer have the patience to nurture our friendships over a coffee date or meet for a long, laugh-filled lunch, but seemingly have time to “like” our hundreds of Facebook friends unoriginal reposting of memes and unverified news. But late this winter, then all of March and even most of April, I was fiercely impatient for something that would feel true in every generation; I found myself lamenting the late, late onset of truly warm weather – I was impatient for spring.

Oh spring teased us in late February with those first few days we could venture out in shirtsleeves, tipping our faces up to the sun, but she had the last laugh as the chill winds switched back to the north for week after week of days not climbing out of the 40s and 50s. We know how unkind March can be with the fickle lion and lamb metaphors but this year, April also was unrepentant and clung to winter-like temperatures as well until the very last week of the month when true spring arrived – at last – and winter’s spell was broken.

Finally, my impatient heart has been eased by the deliriously good weather of early May. Now, and only now, do I realize how tightly compressed, like spring buds waiting to bloom, I and all my fellow island residents have been. Smiles of greeting are warmer and more sincere these days. Our Southerner’s tendency to love

being outdoors on our decks and screen porches means we are welcoming friends, neighbors and family to join us in this deep appreciation of the beauty of God’s creation in spring. Spring migration to the coast is a real thing, as homeowners arrive to throw open ocean view doors and windows to let the freshening south-west breeze blow through beach homes musty from winter’s benign neglect. I wish I had kept statistics on spring bookings and the rising temperatures in eastern and upstate North Carolina; the warmer the spring temperature in Raleigh, the sooner those early June weeks start to book!

My preteen grandchildren have enjoyed ocean swims in the past week while the toddlers have gamely splashed in tidal pools on the edge, sifted sand between tiny fingers and admired their legs crusted like fried shrimp by dry sand on their wet, salty selves. My soul has been thawed by these first days of blissful warmth on the beach as we sat, as a family, in a crescent of beach chairs.

If you, like I, have been impatient for spring as well, clear your calendar, pack a suitcase or a beach bag and head for our coast. These clear sparkling days of May and early June will soon give way to the shouting humidity and heat of summertime.

Spring has arrived on the Crystal Coast – at last! Your island vacation home can’t wait to welcome and embrace you again.

turtle tracks What we Learn from Gathering Data The 2018 sea turtle season has already started and we are looking forward to a great year.

Before we begin celebrating nests for 2018 though, let’s look at the results from the 2017 season. As a sea turtle volunteer I find all this information fascinating. From the beginning, I was told that the hatchlings imprinted the location of their birth nest area and, if females, would often return to the same area 20-25 years later when they began nesting. Read on to see if this statement is true.

Each year, data is collected about how nests fared in Emerald Isle.

During the spring/summer of 2017 we had a total of 19 nests, laid by 12 female loggerhead sea turtles. Within those nests, there were an estimated 1,881 eggs. Throughout the summer, 1,394 hatchlings pipped out of their shells under the sand. Of those 1,394 hatchlings, 1,120 live hatchlings emerged from the nests and made their way into the ocean. That breaks down to a 73.8 percent average hatch rate success.

As volunteers sit nests, we are often asked, “How long does it take for the hatchlings to emerge?” The typical incubation period is between 55-80 days. Last year, the average incubation period for nests in Emerald Isle was about 51 days. Specific incubation times are influenced by how hot the summer weather is and the rain total for that particular summer. Hotter summers have shorter incubation periods. Rainy weather tends to slow down the incubation time.

With scientific evidence, we can also discover how many separate female turtles laid nests here, if the females were new to the island and/or how many times other females returned to nest on 62

our beach. Last summer, of the 12 females who nested here, nine were new to Emerald Isle.

Six of those nine new nesters were nesting for the very first time ever.

Of special interest is a female nester who lays her eggs ONLY in Emerald Isle ... eight nests since 2015.

The Rock Music Scene in 1968

What kind of music did Carteret County teenagers listen to on the radio in 1968 – 50 years ago? Nationally, “1968 was a year of flux in the pop music scene,” reported Jon Landau for Rolling Stone.

“Soul music failed to extend its influence on the music as a whole, country music contributed some new ideas, but did not achieve acceptance as a form in itself, and English blues bands were again very popular. As the year closed, no one style dominated the scene,” Landau said.

Indeed, Billboard’s Year-End Hot 100 chart for 1968 reflected a diverse collection of hit records. Among those in the upper tier were: “Hey Jude” by The Beatles; “Love Is Blue” by Paul Mauriat; “Honey”

by Bobby Goldsboro; “People Got to Be Free” by The Rascals; “This Guy’s in Love with You” by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass; “Mrs. Robinson” by Simon and Garfunkel; and “Tighten Up, Part 1,” by Archie Bell and The Drells.

Missing in 1968 from the top 100, however, was the California surf music sound.

Emerging in 1968 were songs that had soulful connections to Carolina beach music. Number Four in 1968 was “(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding.

Other major hits of 1968 with beach music roots were: “Cowboys to Girls” by The Intruders; “Gimme Little Sign” by Brenton Wood; “I Thank You” by Sam & Dave; “I’m a Girl Watcher” by The O’Kaysons; and “Slip Away” by Clarence Carter.

Among the groups that performed live at dance halls on “The Circle” at Atlantic Beach was Huckleberry Mudflap. The band was made up of four young men from Harkers Island, originally Jimmy Amspacher, Clinton Nelson, Donnie Vrooks and Morris Willis.

The group’s biggest hit was “Blue Surf,” recorded in 1968. On the “B” side was “Goodnight Mrs. Kollendoffer.” A lot of memories are captured on Chris Bishop’s website, garagehangover.com.

Cruising The Circle was a popular teen activity in 1968, and stopping to get a bite to eat at Dom L’s Drive-In in Atlantic Beach was like going to hamburger heaven.

Bill Chadwick of Harkers Island was a regular patron at the drivein. He swears he went to Dom L’s seven days a week, year-round, because it was the best place in the county to “just hang out.” He met his wife, Dawn, there in 1969. They were married the following year. Bill Chadwick retired as a load master, after a distinguished career at the Port of Morehead City.

Dom L’s was plugged into the Carteret County teen music scene as well. WBMA radio (1400 AM) was based in Beaufort, but on Saturday nights, owners Ray and Hilda Cummins would send a DJ over to Atlantic Beach to broadcast live from a small booth on the rooftop at Dom L’s.

In the late 1950s and early ‘60s, the program was known as the “Night Train Show,” hosted by Cary John Kirk, known as “C.J. the DJ.” Carteret County historian Rodney Kemp said if you played your cards right with C.J., he would dedicate a song on the air to your date while you were parked at the drive-in. That’s about as cool as it gets … and as impressive as all get-out.

Masters of the Double-Sided Hit You don’t hear the term “double-sided hit” in the digital music age, but it was every record collector’s dream in the vinyl era.

For several years, each recording artist’s “single” record release actually was a “BOGO” or “buy one side, get the other side free.”

One side of the 7-inch, 45 rpm vinyl disc was usually designated the “A” side, and the other side was the “B” or “flip” side. Considered the most commercially viable of the two, the “A” side received a greater advertising push and more radio airplay than the “B” side.

Writing for the Elvis History blog, Alan Hanson noted: “Occasionally, though, the flip side would turn out to be the record-buying public’s favorite of the two cuts. On rare occasions, both sides separately rose high on the charts, creating a ‘double-sided hit.’”

The double-sided record phase spanned almost 20 years, beginning in 1952.

The most recent double-sided record to score high on the music charts was released by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was: “Travelin’ Band”/“Who’ll Stop the Rain” (1970).

(After that, for the remaining years of the vinyl record era, it seemed the record label companies tended to downgrade the “B” sides into oblivion.)

The most successful double-sided hit ever on Billboard’s Top/Hot 100 chart was Elvis Presley’s “Don’t Be Cruel”/“Hound Dog.” Both sides reached Number One on the music charts, and the two titles spent a combined 55 weeks in the Top 100 in 1956-57.

Rankings for musical trivia such as this are maintained by “Forgotten Hits,” a blog compiled by veteran rock historian Kent Kotal, who is based in the Chicago area. Kotal told his readers: “We mathematically calculated the total number of points accumulated by the national chart rankings of both sides of these records; it was not a popularity contest.”

Kotal said Presley had five other major double-sided hits between 1954-61.

The Beatles had the most top-ranked, doublesided hits in rock ‘n’ roll history – eight – between 1964-69. “Come Together”/“Something” ranks Number Two all-time.

Chronologically, other Beatles’ double-sided, mega-hits were: “Love Me Do”/“P.S. I Love You” “I Want to Hold Your Hand”/“I Saw Her Standing There” “I Feel Fine”/“She’s a Woman” “We Can Work It Out”/“Day Tripper” “Penny Lane”/“Strawberry Fields Forever” “Hello, Goodbye”/“I Am the Walrus” “Hey Jude”/“Revolution” Kotal says there’s a four-way tie for third among the most prolific artists with double-sided hits. The winners were: Little Richard (1956-57), Ricky Nelson (1958-61); The Beach Boys (1963-66); and Credence Clearwater Reunion (1969-70).

Kotal’s honorable mention awards, with two each, went to: Chuck Berry (1958); The Everly Brothers (1958-61); Sam Cooke (1962-64); and The Monkees (1966-67).

mayor’s notes

Mayor Ken Jones

June-to-Go Week; May 19 through the 25. We encourage you to have your boat or vessel safety checked by the Fort Macon Sail and Power Squadron any time of the year.

Another change to our crosswalks this year is the nighttime lighting with LED lights. As our population dramatically spikes this month – please give your drive undivided attention. If you are crossing or near the highway, please wear a brighter color than the environment. To be seen please don’t wear black, brown, and dark green clothing. The better you stand out the more likely you are to be seen.

Our next Dinner with the Mayor will be held on Saturday, July 21, at 5:30pm at the Country Club of the Crystal Coast. This is the time of year we do this on a Saturday for our summer time weekenders. Join us for dinner and discussion with your neighbors and fellow PKSers’.

Enjoy our summer season … this is the time we were all looking forward to in January! To our many volunteers, thank you for everything you consistently do for our entire town! One team, One town, One Pine Knoll Shores!

The first part of June is always an exciting time in Pine Knoll Shores! The 11th annual Kayak for the Warriors (K4W) will be held the first weekend in June, the 2nd. The events surrounding the main Kayak Event are drawing as big a crowd as the actual race itself!

Last year you raised close to $80,000!! Once again we have an all-volunteer team, with three team captains, one for each of the three big Kayak for the Warriors events. On Saturday, May 26, the 5K Run/Walk was held near the Clamdigger. The silent auction and the live auction was held Thursday, May 3. The signature event is held on Saturday, June 2 at Garner Park.

One of my favorite parts of this event is when folks are waving and cheering along the canal. A huge “thank you” to the PIKSCO Homeowners’ Association and the Beacons Reach Master Association for the use of their facilities!

We are heading into the final stretch of the 2018-19 town budget process. Again, your board of commissioners and your town staff has done a yeoman’s task of putting together a balanced budget and keeping the tax rate steady. There also are no changes to the water rates. Heads-up though, this next year will be a revaluation of property values in Carteret County.

The month of June is when activity in the water around PKS really picks up. I signed a proclamation for National Safe Boating

club news PKS Garden Club On May 9, members of the garden club created small individual flower arrangements that they presented to residents of Crystal Bluffs and Harborview nursing homes in Morehead City.

At a brief business meeting on April 11 before members dispersed to perform a spring cleanup on the town’s nine gardens, President Susan King thanked 1st Vice President Ilene Karlsson for the outstanding job she did arranging the March 23 bus trip to Raleigh for a luncheon and viewing of the Art in Bloom program at the Museum of Art. She then welcomed to club guest, Linda Cossmeier. She also welcomed Kathy Blowers as the new 1st Vice President, replacing Karen Zaenker, who moved with her family to Williamsburg. She sought opinions of moving next year’s installation luncheon to May instead of June because of early summer vacations, and discussed reorganizing members’ assignments more efficiently to work in our town’s gardens, even suggesting we contact the Boy Scouts for help.

Vice president Jean McDanal informed members that she had arranged for the placement of mulch at each of the gardens for them to spread during their April cleanup. The club then voted to accept the resignation of Charlotte Hamilton of her proposed position as vice president next year.

Linda Pearson enquired of members their choice of entrees for the June installation luncheon – Sandbar salad with coastal shrimp, crab meat, mango and avocado or Key West salad with grilled chicken, hearts of palm, tomatoes and mangoes, both served with muffins and Key lime pie.

The red bud tree being planted on Arbor Day in April honors deceased members Lois Strube, Lois Heffelfinger, Joan Brown and Shirley Schaeffler.

As the gardeners enjoyed at town hall, talk turned to recollections of the wonderful March bus trip to see the Art in Bloom program in Raleigh. Museum planners of this project chose two dozen works of art hanging in the museum; then chose the same number of expert flower arrangers from master gardeners of the North Carolina Garden Club or local florist owners to represent each painting using not paint and canvas, but a floral arrangement to reproduce the art work. Moving from painting to painting with a knowledgeable docent, our garden club members found the floral renditions that were placed adjacent to the pictures utterly breathtaking!

Tiny sweet buns, doughnuts and fruit on the morning bus run, and cookies, brownies, cheese and crackers, and loads of bonhomie camaraderie returning home made the long bus trip to Raleigh not only durable, but enjoyable.

The garden club meets on the second Wednesday of each month at town hall at 9:30am for refreshments, followed at 10am by the program of the day. Guests and visitors are always welcome. Come to enjoy the program and join our club! For additional information, e-mail us at pksgardenclub@gmail.com Clare Winslow

Edie Reed, executive director of the Broad Street Clinic in Morehead City, was a guest lecturer at the April meeting of the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club. She explained the mission of this free clinic which serves qualified uninsured citizens of Carteret County providing treatment for diabetes, hypertension, thyroid dysfunction, pulmonary illness and cardiovascular diseases. Last year the clinic provided over $4.4 million worth of services through the efforts of a dedicated team of volunteer doctors, nurses, pharmacists and community members.

Founded in 1993 by Dr. Mary Katherine Lawrence and Dr. Klose, today the clinic provides over 3,000 patient visits/year including dental, vision and medical services for over 800 patients and filled over 22,000 prescriptions. The clinic is a member of the NC Association of Free and Charitable Clinics and the National Association of Free Clinics.

Reed explained that though the Affordable Care Act is in place, many patients fall into a “coverage gap.” They don’t qualify for a subsidy but, though most are working, she said, they are unable to afford insurance. The clinic receives no federal or state funding and relies on community contributions, its dedicated volunteers and a close relationship with Carteret Health Care. The clinic serves a vital role in the community as it lessens the pressure on our local hospital facilities and on our county finances.

Over the years, the Women’s Club has contributed annually to the clinic and after thanking Reed for her enlightening talk, club President Betty Thomas presented her with a donation from the club. For more information about the services offered by the Broad Street Clinic visit their website at www.broadstreetclinic. org or stop in to the clinic at 534 North 35th St. Suite K, Morehead City, NC 28557.

During the business meeting, which followed the presentation, officer and committee chairs reported on upcoming events, including the Installation Luncheon planned for June 1 at the Coral Bay Club. The slate of officers for the upcoming 20182019 program year include Betty Thomas returning as president; Joanne Ferguson and Libby Gallagher serving another year as vice president and treasurer, respectively. Ronnie Stanly will serve as corresponding secretary and Maria DeCandia as recording secretary.

Regular monthly meetings will resume in September. New members are always enthusiastically welcomed. Consider joining the club, participating in its many community events and charitable activities, meeting your neighbors and making some new friends.

to fine-tune the destination from time to time.

Your intended romantic target may not be the perfect fit.

support if your message is well-received. Figure out new ways to communicate.

LEO (July 23-August 23) Leo, you could have some psychically tuned feelings this month and will seem to know about things before they happen. Trust your instincts.

If your energy levels are waning, find a way to put some hop in your step. Take a break from work if necessary. This is a great way to recharge. It is alright to want to escape your daily routine sometimes. If you find you are restless, plan a getaway so you can take in new sights and sounds. Planning and project management seemingly takes over your life.

Just when you think there is no time for fun, an exciting opportunity falls in your lap.

Reminiscing about the past can be a good way to connect you with your history, Sagittarius.

Just do not dwell too much on what should’ve been. Use it as a chance to grow. If you are feeling high strung or nervous, you may just need to take a little time away from a situation to reorient yourself. Come back with a fresh perspective. Infuse your social circle with some fresh energy. Get together with friends and find ways to include new people into your social circle. You do not have an argumentative nature, Sagittarius. So when you’re bothered, it is probably for a good reason. Don’t come out ready for a fight; instead, focus on mediating.

VIRGO (August 24-September 22)

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20)

Make yourself more available to your loved ones early in June. Try connecting with them by discussing your goals and asking advice. Virgo, you haven’t yet found your groove at work, but don’t get discouraged because it will happen.

Pay attention to others around you and how they act. There is no need to worry about whether or not you have been handling affairs deftly.

Others will be quick to vouch for your work if called on. Your creative muse has come calling and you can’t resist her siren’s song. Dabble in any artistic or craftsy project you can get your hands on this month.

Strengthen relationships by letting other people know how much you appreciate them. This will help you feel a greater sense of joy as well. Don’t put others off by being too serious. Learn how to let loose a little bit and your friends will flock to you in no time at all. If life has been rushing by at a harried pace, you need to find a place of solace where you can sit and exhale. It’s important to have this time to rest. Your energy may be all over the map, so it may be best to schedule any major meetings or presentations for another time when you are more up to the task.

If you feel like something is lacking in your life right now, you may want to surround yourself with some friends who provide inspiration and compel change. Gemini, others may misinterpret your enthusiasm for a carefree nature. However, you are actually busy getting the job done – even if you’re having some fun doing it. Mid-month you are in the mood to rise above petty conflicts and mend fences. Set aside time to speak one-on-one with those who need forgiveness. Gemini, the month may have gotten off to a bumpy start, but you are perfectly capable of turning things around in a hurry. Just don’t race too far ahead without a plan.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23)

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18)

Libra, compassion and understanding will drive your actions at the beginning of the month. You seem especially connected to others and their feelings. Even if others think you are ambivalent, you possess a clear picture of what you want and where you are heading. Don’t let others’ misconceptions sway you. Your competitive nature might be needed. Your confidence will be an asset as you propel through tasks in record speed. Slow down to catch your breath. People often see you as even-keeled. But tempers may flare at the end of the month if you don’t get your way. Others should watch when you’re fired up.

Aquarius, you may feel enthusiastic this month about what life has to offer. Make the most of your rejuvenated spirit. Make an effort to reconnect with an old friend. You’re normally a people person, but every once in a while you enjoy solitary time to think and avoid crowds.

This could be the time for that. Be conscious of how your actions and words affect others.

Communication issues can affect relationships when misconstrued words are taken to heart. It may seem like you’re feeling extreme highs or lows. Soon things will settle down. Enjoy some well-deserved escapism for the time being.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22)

PISCES (February 19-March 20)

A hectic schedule may have you feeling tense and resentful of all your responsibilities.

Concentrate on one task at a time rather than obsessing about it all. Scorpio, if left to your own devices, you can get your work done quickly.

But overcoming distractions may be difficult this month. Do your best to stay the course. Midmonth, share your good fortune with others.

Expressing gratitude and helping those who do not have enough will make you feel happier and more fortunate. Cater your plan and speech to the audience receiving it. You can gain more

Feeling nervous about the outcome of some endeavors is natural, Pisces. But if you work through various scenarios, you will feel more relaxed. Everything seems to be unfolding on schedule. This is advantageous because you don’t have to put in extra effort or sweat the details. Procrastination is often a sign that a person is not interested in what he or she is doing. Find activities that truly motivate you.

This month you will have the ideal blend of patience and passion, which has people lining up to be on your team.

ARIES (March 21-April 20) Aries, you feel especially creative this month and want to focus on the future. You may have concrete ideas, but don’t know just how to put those plans into action. Mid-month may seem like a race and you may be losing steam. With a lot of distance still left to cover, it’s time to conserve your energy and find some assistance.

Thinking about the future is exciting, and it may motivate you to make some changes. Picturing the future helps you try different scenarios on for size. At the end of the month, opportunity may knock. You must tune in and listen to it. Stay passionate in your endeavors, but exercise a little caution as well.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Learning to detach from thoughts and feelings can help you learn which ideas are important and which ones are extraneous. This can help you reduce stress. Your imagination is very active lately, so much so that it may make it difficult to concentrate on anything else.

Make an effort to get work done in spite of the distractions. Taurus, be sure you take some alone time to focus on what is important to you.

This will help you to feel the joy and fulfillment that keeps you going even when times are tough. Honesty may be the best policy, but you may have to temper how much information you reveal at one time. Be a little stingy around sensitive people.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21)

Cancer, rather than looking to others for validation, take an inward look and praise yourself. There are so many things you do well, and these are deserving of attention. It’s possible you may misread someone’s intentions this month, and it could get you in a bit of hot water.

Don’t make any assumptions and apologize if you make mistakes. Fun and physical activity attract you mid-month, especially as you approach your birthday. Surround yourself with loved ones and enjoy some fun nights. You are heading in the right direction, but you may have 82

Factors that Impact Auto Insurance Premiums Auto insurance rates vary from person to person, even though it may seem like the offerings are the same. But no two drivers are the same, and certain factors may be affecting drivers’ auto insurance premiums without the motorists even realizing it.

Automotive insurance provider State Farm says most insurance companies consider several factors when calculating the cost of car insurance. Recognizing which situations can increase or lower costs can help drivers get the best rates and coverage needed. Although it can be tempting to reduce the price of insurance by choosing lower amounts of coverage, there are other ways to make insurance more affordable.

Move. Insurers typically look at where a person lives when calculating rates. Those people who live in highly populated, urban areas likely will have higher premiums than others who live in more rural towns. That’s because greater population density often translates into more people on the road – and a greater chance for insurance claims due to fender benders or theft. By moving, a person may be able to cut rates.

Gender and age are factors. One can’t step into a time machine, but it’s helpful to know that growing a little older can lower insurance premiums. The financial advice source Money Crashers say that young men usually incur higher rates than young women because statistically men get into more accidents. However, as a person moves into his or her senior years, the roles reverse. Older women may see higher rates than men the same age.

Keep make and model in mind. The type of vehicle driven can

affect insurance premiums. Certain insurance carriers will increase premiums on vehicles that are more susceptible to damage. Flashy sports cars or those that do not score as highly on vehicle safety ratings calculated by industry experts may result in high premiums.

Vehicles that are desirable to car thieves also may cost more to insure. Researching vehicles prior to purchase and checking the rates for those cars or trucks with insurance companies can help keep costs low.

Commuters may pay more. Individuals who use a car for business or frequent commuting may pay more than people who drive less because statistically there is a greater risk for an accident, says State Farm. Reducing commute times can lower premiums.

Tie the knot. Insure.com says married couples have been found to be less of a risk to insurance providers statistically than those who are single. A study by the National Institutes of Health found that single drivers were twice as likely to be in an auto accident as married drivers. Combining policies also can help married people save.

Follow the rules of the road. Drivers who have moving violations, drink and drive or engage in otherwise risky behavior behind the wheel may see their rates soar.

Insurance companies weigh factors such as driving record, age, locality, and more when assessing premium costs. Drivers have some room to get lower rates by knowing the factors that determine their premiums.
