Wife approved hair cut!
I have been married for 18 years now and every time I get a haircut my wife has something to say. "It's too short", "Not Even" or "Who cut your hair this time? That's Terrible". This time I went to get my hair cut by Deborah Poulos at the Styling Depot. They are located on the north side of town in Mildred's Plaza in Elizabeth City. My wife looked at me and said "Hey, your haircut looks good". So if you want to get a great haircut and meet some really nice folks at the same time give them a call. Got to give them a 5 star rating.

American Colonial Workboat Take a ride Sept 6 2014!
Be sure to visit the replica of an early American colonial workboat that is anchored in Hertford's public dock on the Perquimans River behind the municipal building off Grubb Street. The Periauger is an authentic representation, and the only one of its kind, of a boat from the prerevolutionary period. It is a cypress split dug-out boat, 30 feet long, with a 7 foot beam, two sails and eight sweeps. In colonial America, settlers traveled the waterways in common boats, called Periaugers, which were considered the waterway pick-up trucks of their time. A Periauger was considered the most reliable means of transportation during the early 1700s.
You can ride on the Periauger on Saturday September 6, 2014 at 10am, 12pm and 2pm. Please be at the town public dock 15-20 minutes before sailing time so that waiver releases can be completed. The sail lasts approximately 30-45 minutes.

Fun things to do @ the next Indian Summer Festival Sept 6th
The 32nd Indian Summer Festival was a great success – and we aim to match its success at the 33rd Indian Summer Festival on September 5th and 6th 2014. On Friday night we will again have the Beer and Wine Garden and the original Rhondels will be our headline entertainment. This will be their third year at the Festival so don’t miss it – new entertainment will be entertaining in 2015. We are busy lining up some great entertainment again to accompany them on Friday night and, of course, we will have wonderful entertainment again on Saturday. We hope to bring back the Coast Guard rescue demonstration in 2014 that was cancelled in 2013 due to the cutbacks in military budgets. Our Wheeled Vehicle Show will be bigger and better than ever!! The Kids Venue will have something for all ages and is guaranteed to please! Our food vendors will serve a wide variety of delicious items to ward off your hunger pains!"
KIDS VENUE activities:
Following are highlights of the numerous activities that will be available at the children's venue on Saturday September 6, 2014. This venue will be located in the Hertford Baptist Parking lot on Market Street from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tiger Belly Bounce - The Tiger Belly Bounce is a new concept Moonwalk that is turning the bouncer business upside down. This moonwalk features the tiger’s head in a more visible location while also providing a sunshade and safety entrance to keep the action inside.
G-Force – Twin Spin Ride - A great interactive ride for both children and adults. Four people strap into their own race-car seat and begin pumping the handles – around and around they go! The faster they pump, the faster they go; when they stop pumping, the G-Force continues to free-wheel. When it’s time to stop the operator applies the brakes
Buccaneer Pirate Ship - This combo unit features the look of a Spanish Galleon on the high seas. Designed as a combination slide and bouncer, the Buccaneer is a true favorite for children of all ages.
Wacky Jr. Obstacle Course - This wacky-colored Jr. Obstacle is an obstacle perfectly designed for little challengers!
Tiki Island Rock Wall - Tiki Island is a 28ft tall Inflatable Climbing Wall. This island themed attraction has actual climb holds usually found only on hard-surfaced climbing walls.
Tsunami Slide - At 27' tall this slide has a large sun shade and window to keep things cool and safe. Two long undulating slide lanes make this a truly memorable experience.
Teddy Bear Train -Their train is operated by an experienced conductor who is assisted by an engineer. Both the conductor and engineer ensure that the train is properly loaded to enable you to have a safe yet enjoyable riding experience.

Your local DA - By Nancy Lamb, Article in the August Tradewinds Magazine
Criminals
are often not the brightest individuals, as evidenced by the many
ways in which they seem to get caught. In the thirty years that I was
a career prosecutor, there were many stories of crimes gone badly.
In a job where there are so many crimes that rock you to the core,
it’s self-preservation to find humor in the blunders made by our
local criminals. Here are just a few of my favorite stories that
happened right here in our district.
There
was one young fellow, who had chosen burglary for a career. Had he
been an average looking fellow, he may have been able to perform his
job with some anonymity, and escape the long arm of the law.
Unfortunately for his career choice, this particular gent was 6’4”.
Not an easy person to confuse for identification purposes. When this
gent decided to rob several houses throughout the neighborhood, the
witnesses were all unanimous in one identifying feature: his height.
When the guilty verdict was returned, it was suggested to him by the
judge who sentenced him to prison that he may want to pick another
career, such as basketball.
Yet
another young man, who had likewise chosen thievery as his vocation,
was fond of a straw hat that he wore every day. In the commission
of his final heist, he accidentally left his hat behind at the
crime scene, where it was produced by the State as evidence during
his trial. Imagine the prosecutor’s glee during the trial, when the
defense attorney, hoping to represent his client as an innocent
victim of misidentification, presented pictures of his client
wearing, as it turned out, the same hat. In a variation on the same
theme, I was trying a case where a witness on the stand described the
defendant as wearing a very noticeable bright yellow shirt on the
night of his criminal escapades. The defendant must have had a
particular fondness for that shirt because he wore it to court on the
day the witness was testifying. When I turned my head to look over
at the defendant as the witness was describing the shirt and
identifying it as the one worn on the night of the crime, the eyes of
12 jurors followed. As did their verdict of guilty.
In
a twist on the dumb criminal stories, here’s an entertaining lawyer
story. I was selecting a jury years ago in Perquimans County. I was
thrilled to have Jim “Catfish” Hunter in the box as a potential
juror. A typical part of questioning potential jurors involves
asking what they do for a living. When I got to Catfish, I jokingly
told him there was no need to go over that with him since everyone
was very well familiar with what he did for a living. Except, it
turned out, for the lawyer representing the defendant, who was
apparently not a baseball fan. When it was his turn to question
jurors, and he came around to Catfish, he said rather gruffly, as was
his nature, “well, the prosecutor might know what you do for a
living but I don’t, so please enlighten me.” The laughter was so
loud that I’m not sure the attorney even heard the answer.
Verdict: guilty as charged.
One
of my all-time favorites happened years ago, before my time. The
story was told many times by our own raconteur Frank Parrish, who was
a wealth of stories and tales of “the dark side.” A young man
decided to rob a convenience store. He dons the customary stocking
over his head, wields a fake gun and proceeds to the counter. The
clerk behind the counter looks at him and says, “Is that you
Purvis?” to wit, this intelligent and soon to be incarcerated
criminal mind says, “No, it ain’t me Auntie.” It seems that
young Purvis had chosen to rob the convenience store where his aunt
was employed. Mr. Parrish never told us what happened to Purvis, nor
did anyone ask. I can only hope that this young man opted for another
vocation.
On
a day to day basis, prosecutors must deal with the worst of crimes
and the ugliest side of humanity. Our days are filled with criminals
from the most petty to the most serious, many repeat offenders, many
brand new to the system, and many multi-generational. We deal with
the heartbreak of victims who have lost a loved one, and the anger of
those who have been violated both physically and emotionally. In a
job where the stakes are so high, we have to find humor where we can.
It isn’t often that we can share a laugh over the antics of the
criminally challenged, but when we find that story, we enjoy the
laugh for a brief moment, then get back to the business of the day:
putting the bad guys away.
