Raleighwood SquaresHere is the second installment of WFS’s

Raleighwood Squares. Every single personfeatured is somehow connected to each other. Thatparticular phrase of ‘six degrees of separation’

actually is very relevant when it comes to NorthCarolina’s all-star cast of corruption players.

As a general rule, WFS will start with the mostpivotal and crucial square, the middle. If you

happened to catch theannouncement this week, MadamGuv Bev appointed DistrictAttorney Scott Thomas as Chairof the Governor’s CrimeCommission.

Talk about spitting sweet tea allover the place, we laughed so hardthat we nearly fell out of ourchairs.

The irony we at WFS and theEnvironmental InvestigationCoalition’s members find sohumorous is that appointing DAScott Thomas to her CrimeCommission is akin to letting thefox guard the hen house.

Dale suggests to print it out aslarge as you can, pin up onto acork board and play darts. Andthen in the coming weeks, just addto the target paper with the nextsquares.

Throughout history, man has strived to improvehis quality of life by addressing the challenges ofthe environment and interactions of follow man.All religions have a basis of respect for nature’sgifts and balancing wants and needs. As Historiantrace our own beginnings distinct periods ofchange were defined by benchmarks in culture andgreat changes in the environment both positive andnegative.

As man realized his limitations of travel by foothe began to travel by water and harness beast ofburden. The capturing of a broad variety beast hasnow evolved into a number of hoofed anddomesticated animals. The Waterfront Sportsmannow recognizes along with our families manyanimals as Our Loved Ones.

With the Earth covered 80% by water, watertravel is the ultimate connector of people, goodand services. All other forms of travel are toconnect water.

Many centuries later the vision of mechanicaltravel began with the wheel. As decades past, manysimple machines were created based around theleverage created by a circle. As the basic rules ofphysics were documented, and as theories focusedon work and the movement of mass. Manycomplex machines began to take shape. Movingof people, goods and services were always

paramount. Wagons of a broad variety wereharnessed to, and merged the strength of beast ofburdens with the early complex machines.

Still man vision grew to bigger and better. Thebicycle was born as a major benchmark of purposeand efficiency.

As technology progressed motorcycles werealways the test vehicle of choice in war and peacetimes because of efficiency and maneuverability.Proven common parts and components were usedthat crossed over from motorcycles into aircraftwith the radial engine that replicated the V Twindesign several times using a common crank case.The V 8 stacked the V Twin engines back to backfour times. V 8’s, V 6’s and V 4’s and are used incars, trucks, and industrial equipment today.

So fortunately we can thank the motorcycle foradvancing civilization as we know it and has madelife easier throughout the world because of themotorcycle ability to test advanced technology andto navigate trails around the world not passable to4 wheels.

But unfortunately the simplicity of the designhas exposed what was good technology into thegreatest threat to mankind through air pollution.While Harley Davidson has been using the GeneralMotors model of what is good for GM is good forthe US and has been claiming pretentiously the

The History of Traveling by Land to Water

A German, Gottlieb Daimler, invented the first gas-enginemotorcycle in 1885, which was an engine attached to awooden bike.

While Harley Davidson has been spending all their resourceson swapping paint schemes, Yamaha and other manufacturersaround the world are promoting the next generation of cleanertransportation through hybrid electric and hydrogen technol-ogy.

ownership ofthe World of 2wheels as theW o r l daccording toH a r l e yDavidson byswamping paintschemes and teeshirts.

International manufactures are leading the waywith advanced 2 wheel technology in hybrid,electric, and hydrogen propulsion. Butsimultaneously the whole world is fighting thecheapest way to produce 2 wheel vehicles withno regards to super concentrated air pollution tomeet the exploding transportation demands of 3rd

world countries.Just as Waterfront Sportsman has taken on a

David and Golieths Giants Killer real worldapproach to address municipal sludge spreadingas the greatest threat to water quality worldwideand is working with international manufacturesto replace sludge spreading with new technologyto create energy, and establish New Water andFood standards to protect water quality, people,and the food chain are designed to eliminate sludgespreading and reuse water being used forirrigation.

Waterfront Sportsman Movement is opposed tothe continued use of 50 cc motors fortransportation worldwide.

This is not ana rg u m e n t a t i v eGlobal Warming/Climate ChangeScam, this is real.The most populouscivilizations in thegreatest need tomove the mass laborforces arounddepend on thecheapest forms oft r a n s p o r t a t i o n .Which are 50 cc 2cycle and 4 cyclescooters. In properworking order, the

50 cc scooters produce 10 times more air pollutionthan a automobile, but the over working short lived50 cc scooters soon fall out of repair and onescooter can spit out more pollutants than a fleet ofNew York Taxis.

The Waterfront Sportsman Movement will belobbing for the WFS 2 Wheel Initiative in theUnited States Congress to stop importing allscooters less than 50 cc. A 125 cc motor willproduce fewer pollutants, have a longer service

life, and can be governed to limit top speed foruninsurable riders.

The Waterfront Sportsman Movement will belobbying for the WFS 2 Wheel Initiative in theUnited Nations to stop producing all scooters lessthan 50 cc worldwide and phase out 50 ccworldwide over the next ten years.

The WFS 2 Wheel Initiative may be the largestviable worldwide initiative to reduce air pollutionin history.

Massive traffic jam in Hoh Chi Minh City

Mopeds and scooters are routinely overloaded, adding morestrain on the 50cc motors, causing more pollution.

TO: Sheriff Terry JohnsonFROM: DaleDATE: June 1st, 2009RE: Stopping Bio-solid trucks enroute

DDDDDear Tear Tear Tear Tear Terry and All North Cerry and All North Cerry and All North Cerry and All North Cerry and All North Carolina Sheriffarolina Sheriffarolina Sheriffarolina Sheriffarolina Sheriffs,s,s,s,s,Just as you have been one of the Sheriffs first to address patterns of mismanagementof North Carolina Public Trust and inadequate North Carolina policies to protect thehealth and well-being of Alamance County Citizens, your immediate attention isneeded to address the illegal importation of Toxic Municipal Sludge by the City ofBurlington to dilute the excess industrial and medical waste generated by Burlington,Elon, and Gibsonville.

Burlington has been warned by environmental groups for over ten years but ofsickness and deaths from Burlington /Synagro/OWASA Sludge Spreading Scam.

The problem is statewide and is being promoted by and covered up by Pres. Pro Temof the Senate Marc Basnight and Speaker of the House Joe Hackney. We have to takeaction stop this corruption to protect the citizens and water quality statewide.

The Environmental Investigation Coalition had determined that Synagro is underinvestigation all over the United States and cannot confirm a standard of ingredientsbecause every shipment is different, there is no chain of custody as to the origin, or toconfirm the shipments have not been modified or tampered with. Shipments are beingover applied and there are no assurances that the shipments match with the permit ofthe generators/municipal waste treatment plants.

After the Oklahoma City fertilizer bomb killed 168 people and 637 people wereinjured, federal laws were tightened on fertilizers. But, these volatile toxins are littlemore that rolling time bombs looking for a place to kill or injure scores of people.

We would ask that these Synagro trucks be stopped, the drivers of these shipments beapprehended, demand proof of contents of shipments, and proof of the origin of theshipment.

These shipments need to be impounded. The Environmental Investigation Coalitionwill be glad to assist in determining the true makeup of the contents of the shipments.

Burlington is importing sludge to dilute toxic industrial and medical waste.

Terry, without questioning these practices within Alamance County the federalauthorities will continue to allow the poisoning of Alamance County Citizens to coverup for Synagro. If we can slow these shipments down we can upset the shipments andthe sludge will start to pile up at the true generators.

Thanks, folks!...... DDDDDalealealealeale

Couple of footnotes here....1. All population numbers were from as late as 2001, some showing low projections of actual experiencedgrowth up through 2008 and do not include illegal aliens. All acreage receiving sludge stats were pulled from aNC report from July 2008.2. The last column showing percentages were used to illustrate closest decimal.3. While the Burlington numbers indicate 8 times more sludge being permitted than the remainder of AlamanceCounty, please keep in mind that the population in Alamance County is 2.35 times greater than Burlington. WithBurlington’s total relationship of 9.7 times more than Alamance County, where is this sludge coming from? Weknow it is needed to dilute all the industrial and medical waste on paper.4. If people are becoming ill and/or dying after the sludge has been treated and then spread, how concentrated isthe contamination that is flowing through the Elon College campus and Spring Valley subdivision on Hwy 87N?

Nothing gets past McQueen Campbell. Par-

ticularly if its waterfront property. As Direc-

tor of Acquisitions for Waterfront Communi-

ties, McQueen is responsible for the com-

pany’s pipeline of potential properties and

serves as the eyes and ears of Waterfront’s

real estate interests.

With thousands of miles of coastline and

countless miles of land on waterways and

inlets, honing in on tracts of land appropriate

for a Waterfront Land Fund Management

investment can be overwhelming. And with

very specific purchasing criteria to meet be-

fore a property can be considered for any one

of their investment funds, McQueen Camp-

bell handles the property acquisition role in

bite-sized pieces.

Gary Allen CEO of Waterfront Land Fund

Management has focused on nothing but

waterfront properties for almost 15 of his 36

years in the real estate industry. That focus

has made him one of the largest and most

well-respected players in the market. “Be-

cause Gary Allen is so well-known in the wa-

terfront development arena, people seek us

out,” says McQueen.

Finding the Needle in the Haystack

McQueen and his team have developed a

recipe for success when it comes to property

acquisitions for Waterfront Land Fund Man-

agement. Combining modern technology

with old-fashioned hard work has helped

McQueen build a pipeline of potential prop-

erties second to none. His first step is to use

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) which

allows him to view owner information on

properties of interest. When the market was

extremely hot in 2005 and 2006, the acquisi-

tions team mapped and contacted every

owner of every piece of property from Vir-

ginia to Florida, and on down to Texas that

touched water and met Waterfront’s initial

criteria to see who had an interest in selling.

Campbell also uses LoopNet® and similar

property marketing sites in his technological

tool belt to constantly monitor online proper-

ties coming to the market. His team proac-

tively sends out broadcast emails twice a

month to different segments in specific mar-

kets. Additionally, Campbell’s team often

touches base with its large and growing data-

base of approximately 700 commercial bro-

kers that work with major firms specializing in

large residential tracts to check for any prop-

erties that may be of interest to Waterfront.

Additionally, he and his team continue to

update its database of people who provide

services for the development business includ-

ing surveyors, engineers, environmental engi-

neers, landscape architects, etc., “Communi-

cation with this segment is key,” says

McQueen. “These people are oftentimes the

first to know about properties before they

come on the market. It is imperative that we

maintain relationships with these people and

be sure they know what our needs are. They

are often working for land owners who are

interested in selling, and when we can get it at

that level, we get a first shot at the proper-

ties.”

Once the Needle is Found

After locating potential properties, McQueen

presents Gary Allen with a packet that details

everything he needs to know about the loca-

tion including: the driving distance to the

airport, aerial photography, wetland maps,

municipality, zoning, water, sewer. etc.,

Combing these metrics determines the prop-

erty’s viability and the price Waterfront is

willing to offer.

The property detail packets are also reviewed

by Ken Bednar, VP of Sales and Marketing,

and the sales managers in the respective ar-

eas. “It’s important to Gary that the sales and

marketing team evaluates the property and

agrees that it’s marketable from their perspec-

tive,” says McQueen. “I know if the sales and

marketing team doesn’t like it, it will be an

uphill battle to ask Gary to take a look at it.”

If all checks out, the baton is passed to Randy

Allen, president of R.A. Management Inc.,

who is responsible for taking the property

through the rezoning process, engineering,

surveys, environmental studies, wetland stud-

ies, soil studies, etc.

These steps are

essential to making

sure the property

under considera-

tion is developable.

With McQueen

Campbell directing

acquisitions, Ken

Bednar directing

Sales and Market-

ing and Randy

Allen handling all

the testing, zoning

and entitlements, Gary has a team he can

trust. And he puts his own money behind

that trust. “If it’s a property bought for de-

velopment, we can have anywhere from a

quarter million to a million in earnest money

and another $1 million to $2 million tied up

in getting all the permits and approvals done.

That’s all company money,” says McQueen.

The team’s thorough investigation ensures the

company knows everything about that prop-

erty there is to know. “Gary is adamant all

along that he doesn’t want to leave anything

to chance when it comes to what we are buy-

ing,” says McQueen.

Prime Time for Property Identification.

Looking in the rear view mirror, 2005 vs.

2007 is like night and day for McQueen

Campbell when it comes to landowner inter-

est in selling. McQueen recalls fights and

bidding wars in 2005 over the properties that

would meet Gary’s specifications -- in some

cases, even over less than grade A properties.

But it’s not the same story now. “I see a lot of

people who bought the property at the peak

with borrowed money, planning to develop.

Now, in this slow market, they are learning

that they don’t want to be in the development

business. There is going to be an enormous

opportunity in the next 12 to 18 months and I

expect we will be able to get a steal on proper-

ties we couldn’t have touched a couple of

years ago. And when the market comes back

in a couple years, we will be in a good posi-

tion with prime waterfront real estate at a low

cost basis.”

We have to admit, we suffered a bitof tractor envy when WFS went tocover Got to be NC AgFest. Everyonewill have to wait until the next fewweeks to see all the really cool farmequipment we spotted at this event.

We wanted to highlight this particular exhibit because of the verynext page’s story on Tom Magnuson’s project, The King’s HighwayPark in Hillsborough and the Wilmington Road that crossesthroughout the park.

Tom’s greatest project is to extend the Great Wagon Road fromVirginia through NC as a eco-tourism and working historical exhibitshowing life as it once existed during the great expansion and settlingof our Nation.

As we reflect on our infrastructure that connects to the water,everyday we deal with our own demands of wants and needs. Thischuck wagon is a true example of how much our forefathers andmothers made with very little.

The King’s Highway Park Becomes Reality

Thanks to TPA’s Dedication to Preservation

Tom Magnuson with the Trading PathAssociation (TPA) took WFS staffers to a veryspecial place in Hillsborough where The GreatRoad to Salisbury, also known as the King’sHighway, forks where one road heads west andthe other heads south to Wilmington.

TPA has spent the last several years workingon a public park offering walking trails, picnicareas, and great vistas to see flora and fauna. Thepark was dedicated to the town of Hillsboroughas a gift from TPA in early May.

As we followed Tom along lush paths towardsthe Eno River, he pointed out the original ‘roads’and explained how the town of Hillsboroughwanted to locate right there at this spot but endedup locating just down the road.

What we found interesting was the fact that thispark has thus far cost the town of Hillsborough acouple of yards of asphalt, and a half dozenlandscape timbers. All the labor over the eightyears on this particular project was provided byarea high schoolers and Boy Scouts.

Tom’s project is a classic example of Americaningenuity to bring a great project to the Peoplewithout costing an exorbitant amount of money.

A long time in the making but patience is a virtue whenit comes to any of Tom’s visions and projects. Tom is a

dedicated educator and mentor to many.

The underbelly compartments between the axles of thewagon were built to carry dry horse droppings to be usedto start fires and burned for heat and cooking. A good example of finding solutions for everyday prob-lems with simple scientific principals. With four main uten-sils - a stew pot, fry pan, flat iron and dutch oven - multi-course meals were prepared with what you brought. Waterfront Sportsman is very concerned for all prop-erty rights issues including our freedoms to travel freelywithout restrictions and the misuse of eminent domain thatallows private property to be taken for unjustified uses like urbansprawl and amusements. WFS is opposed to public funds being usedfor conservation easements for bogus intent like the Gum Thicket/River Dunes Clean Water Trust Funds to make James M Adams downpayment on the River Dunes Scam. On the other hand, immediateattention is needed to protect our dwindling unique natural resourcesand historic antiquities.

King’s Highway continued________________

Approach the site from the East (Durham andRaleigh) on Highway 7O and fork left whenyou come to Highway 70A. FromHillsborough get on Highway 70A off ofHighway 86 just south of the Eno River.From the west take I-85 to the HillsboroughExit/Highway 86/Churton Street, and gonorth to Highway 70A. Turn right on to 70A,, drive past the intersection with NewHighway 86, and in a couple of hundred feetyou'll see our signs pointing to parking.Using a GPS or looking for map directionson line, seek the intersection of Highway 70Aand Highway 86. You'll see our signs to theeast of that intersection.

We were impressed with the graphics and the trailscut out to walk the Park.

As we walked towards the Eno River, someonepointed out there were some mighty big deerrunning through these woods after spotting tracksin the soft mud. Glancing backwards, we spotteda Great Blue Heron fly off for another fishing spot.What a great place to fish or take in the wildlife!Boating is allowed but non-motors, please.

WFS is always looking for great places in ourown backyard to enjoy the water and get back tonature, so Tom taking us for a short trek throughhis organization’s latest project was perfect for alate afternoon respite.

Below is a map detail at the Park showing majortrail activity from the Chesapeake Bay to theSavannah River. Tom’s next big project is TheGreat Wagon Trail that links with the WFScomplex in Rockingham County along the MayoRiver. This project will even be accessible forauthentic horse drawn wagons!

Directions

As Tom stands at the bend of the Eno River where SevenMile Creek merge together, he told WFS staffers that thistract would have been a much more suitable site to locatethe town of Hillsborough because of the topography, whichhas had to deal with flooding issues in the past. In fact,the town built another park just down from the creek tothe tune of a few million dollars, which is prone to flooding.Flooding has gotten much worse due to more impervioussurfaces.

THE SEA is large.The sea hold on a leg of land in the Chesapeake hugsan early sunset and a last morning star over theoyster beds and the late clam boats of lonely men.Five white houses on a half-mile strip of land …five white dice rolled from a tube.

Not so long ago … the sea was large…And today the sea has lost nothing … it keeps all.

I am a loon about the sea.I make so many sea songs, I cry so many sea cries,I forget so many sea songs and sea cries.

I am a loon about the sea.So are five men I had a fish fry with once in atar-paper shack trembling in a sand storm.

Our Thoughts about

ABC’s Shockumentary

“Earth 2100”

After watching ABC’s 2-hour what-ifprediction scenarios for our Planet in the year2100, we pretty much all agreed that it doesn’tmatter what side of the fence you sit on in theheated debate of global warming, the nextgenerations will have to deal with our mess.

Climate change is a fact of history,overpopulation will continue to stress the Planet’scarrying capacity, and we very well could end up just like theMayans who just up-n-vanished, no trace, nada. And yes, historydoes repeat itself, people!

That is why everyone at WFS, EIC and the R. Horace SwiggettInstitute of Environmental Politics does everything they can to helpturn the Titanic around. There were two different scenarios givenat the end of this very thought provoking documentary. We canchange course still.

But it takes concerned people who can shake off their apathyand indifference. Get involved, folks. Water is the life blood of allmankind. When it’s poisoned or gone, we are not far behind.

Dr. William Schlesinger with the Cary Institute in NY has saidthat certain parts of our coastline will be underwater very soon.These two maps show NC and LA coastlines projected for 2100.

Can’t Be a

Prophet in Your

Own Hometown

It’s true. No one close to youwants to hear what you have to say.A lot of people thought theRedneck Environmentalist wascrazy when he publicly called forseveral resignations from localmunicipalities on up to the federallevels of our government andpublic service sectors.

People really email us or whiletalking with us just say ‘it can’treally be this bad.’ And werespond, ‘well, that’s what they allsaid about the Madoff Ponzischeme but at least in that fiasco,no one’s gotten sick and/or diedfrom toxic water.’

The general public has no cluethat there is no such thing as good, logicallegislation and it’s really a Tax-n-Stealenvironment that almost never gives any returnon taxpayers money but almost always directlybenefits a crony or two. All the intent is ignoredand the existing needs/problems are neveraddressed.

It was quite an ambitious effort to go after thetop five problems in NC (water testing, sludge,

PCS Phosphate, misappropriated Clean WaterTrust Funds, and Lake Jordan Rules) but it all palesin comparison to uncovering the Castle HayneAquifer contamination that over 30 million peoplein 5 states depend on for water. So far, our biggesteffort is the WFS 2-Wheel Initiative calling forinternational phase out of 50cc motors for on-roadtransportation to improve air quality.

But now that Dale, EIC, and the Institute ofEnvironmental Politics have been successful indrafting policies and logical legislation on theinternational stage, maybe folks will start payingattention now.

The Redneck Environmentalist may not be a Prophet but has said manytimes that he’s just the bus driver for all of his brainy friends and pullsdouble duty as the paperboy with all the facts and documents. Heck, it takesa whole bus just to cart around the man’s documentation on all the corruptionhe and friends have uncovered. And yes, he put in a lift kit since the sludgewas getting deep!

We’re Not Impressed with

Your Particular Brand of

Ethics, Chairman Boddie

Eating Food That’s Not

ContaminatedAll of us at WFS and the EIC all agree that one of

the biggest looming crisis mankind faces is theassurance of food that is safe for consumption. It’salways been a given that contamination can happen inthe process of harvesting a crop and the path all theway to the dinner table. But now we now have to gobeyond that and look at the crop growing in the ground,getting water for nourishment.

So, Don Yelton and Dale came up with the ‘goodseal of WFS approval’ that labels food grown in sludge-free fields and not being nourished with reuse water.We could never figure out the sense behind food beinglabeled ‘organic’ and sold at higher prices if sludgewas used for fertilizer or the crop was irrigated withreuse water.

A lot of people have pointed out the obviousproblem - that retailers and restaurants right down tothe farmers, and everyone in between, will protestloudly because it is a huge, seemingly impossible taskto change how we produce our food stocks.

It’ s always been about the bottom line according tothe bean counters of the supply chain. But in the longrun, it could prove much more cost effective to changein this respect in lieu of the long term cost associatedwith increased insurance and medical cost out ofcontrol. See our Press Release on next page.

Comin’ soon to grocery stores and restaurants near you!

eyes are on food quality for everyone

produced without municipal sludgeor reuse water

Boycott on EateriesLet’s see

if WFS hast h i sright....Rep.Cary Allredis houndedby his fellowlegislatorsand thepublic about his behavior but then not a peep fromour illustrious politicians when it comes to a Bill aboutaquifer injection is introduced that ultimately wouldenable Mayo Boddie and a few buddies to rake it in onArlington Place.

And the Redneck Environmentalist has alreadydetermined that another McKim & Creeddevelopmental/environmental/banking disaster,Arlington Place, is just another Ponzi product like

River Dunes, likeCannonsgate, andno telling howmany more outthere.

To makeArlington Placework, the aquifer

injection is desperately needed. So, Mayo, you haveno qualms injecting reuse water into one of our state’sprimary water sources. Which makes WFS think youprobably don’t have any qualms providing foodstocksfertilized in sludge and/or reuse municipal water forconsumption in any of your popular restaurants.

Which leads us to call for a boycott on your eatingestablishments.

WFS knows that getting any of our legislationthrough any pompous Committee in the GeneralAssembly is like pretty much an exercise in futilitygiven the corrupt power regime. But we are card-carrying members of the Don Quixote Club and willkeep trying to tear down the windmills of greed andhubris.

We knowthat it’s muchmore effectiveto hit yourwallet in theend, sir.

Waterfront Sportsman Challenges Food and Restaurant Industry to Address Sludge

and Reuse Water Contamination of Our Food Stocks

Don Yelton and Dale Swiggett, editor/publisher of Waterfront Sportsman, announce a new standard for food

quality that will assure consumers that the food bought at restaurants and grocery stores is safe for consumption

and not grown in environments contaminated by the spreading of

municipal sludge or watered with reuse water from municipal sewage

treatment plants.

Over the last few years, outbreaks of salmonella have plagued the

United States. The confirmation of systematic fiber contamination

indicate that contaminants were germinated and not surface contami-

nation.

A movement to calm con-

sumer fears was labeled

organic. The organic label was

abused and compromised by

sludge spreading and irriga-

tion from municipal waste

water plants. The organic

label is unreliable and un-

qualified to address prion

concerns that is most notable

in Mad Cow disease (a prion

is an infectious agent that is

composed of protein). The risks of pharmaceutical drugs, medical and

industrial waste are compounded with every untested shipment of mu-

nicipal sludge and reuse water. For the above reasons and to protect

public health and restore confidence, new gold standards have been

established by R. Horace Swiggett Institute of Environmental Politics.

Please look for the following logos as a sign of confidence in grocery

stores and restaurants as the ultimate defense to protect public health and our loved ones. Please look for the

following logos to be displayed at the finest and safest food sources.

The House in NC in the Village on The Tar

Edwin Wiley Fuller House...Part 2

Fuller House cont. next pg

My husband was a management consultant andI an editor and we had done minor painting andwallpapering that was the extent of our buildingexperience. We suddenly realized the rest was upto us.

The upstairs had priority as we had to have aclean place to sleep. My husband papered ourbedroom in a white silk striped paper and I paintedall the woodwork white, including the lovely widechair rail. Our adjoining study was papered in blueand white with white and grey trim. It was a joyousday when we got shades throughout the house andwere able to take down sheets that had hung onthe large windows for privacy. We averaged tenand twelve hours of work a day for almost sixmonths. We dropped all other work as this seemedmore important. It seemed our faces were alwayssmudged, nails dirty and broken. However,gradually the house was taking shape.

We did learn one thing – which we would neverlive long enough to strip all the old wood in thehouse. Trying to sand the floors ourselves was adisaster as they were very uneven, so after a fewweeks we gave up and painted the floors a darkmahogany, the color the floors had been originallypainted. There again, frustration. No one in thearea carried the paint anymore so we had toexperiment and make our own paint and it workedpretty well.

Light fixtures were needed throughout thehouse and we tried to find old ones and have themrewired. We were determined to keep the house inits era. When we could not find old ones copies ofold fixtures were obtained after much study andshopping. Old fixtures turned out to be ratherexpensive.

We found most of the original wood in badshape and a lot of rusty nails imbedded in windowsills particularly. It normally took most of a day to

clean and treat the wood before it could be painted.Some beautiful parched wallpaper was found inrolls in a dirty trunk in one of the rooms and myhusband used it where he could in papers hallsand baths. We had five bathroom walls to cover.Paint, good paint, is expensive and the repairs weredraining us so we began to make up our owncolors. The center hall was very dark and dirtylooking so we used a bright yellow colored paintup the stairs and matching paint on the stair rails.Some of the original wallpaper was hung in theupper hall adjoining the stairs. White walls in thelower adjoining hall gave a clean, airy look.

In what was our guest room, we took elevenloads of trash out and threw 50 or so bricks outthe window that had fallen down the chimney. Theneighbors must have thought we were mightstrange, throwing bricks out of the window at 10o’clock at night. They had grown used to seeingme on ladders until midnight though. The guestroom was in very bad shape and the walls had tobe mended and washed down before we couldpaint them. It took three coats of white paint tocover everything on the walls. We did the woodtrim in blue. The floor was very primitive. Thelight fixture is a copy of an antique lantern.

In our daughter’s room, all we had to do waspaint the woodwork and ceiling. It had delicatehand painted old rose wallpaper on the walls. Thisneeded a good cleaning so we in turns swept andvacuumed the walls. We hung a French handpainted rose light fixture in that room and painted

the fireplace white. It was a delightful young girl’sroom.

Tackling the downstairs rooms was a formidabletask as we were tired and it was beginning to gethot and the house was not air conditioned. Therewas so much work left to be done.

Downstairs was a room we found in a space ofthree or four feet there would be a difference insize of the wall of one eighth to one half an inches.This particular room had served as a bedroom forover a hundred years. It had a small closet underthe stairs with fancy iron hooks. Most of thechildren were born in the bedroom and we foundit to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter.Adjoining this room was the ‘family sitting room.’

Many people of this town have warm memoriesof afternoons before the fireplace in this roomwhile listening to an operatic aria playing in thebackground. As we were preparing to completethis room, the ceiling plunged to the floor onemorning. That set us back several hundred dollarsand several months. It also took with it an un-replaceable molded ceiling plaque.

The old family parlor had been referred to asbeing so cold the children could not practice theirpiano lessons in the room in the winter. This roomwas painted gold with matching gold draperiesframed to fit the windows, leaving the widewooden frames and detailing exposed – as wasfashionable in the 18th century. That made it a warmand inviting room. To do these rooms, one of uswould be standing on the rung of a 12-foot ladderand the other holding the ladder to keep it fromswaying. Our necks would ache for days, both ofus, as we took turns painting the high ceilings andwalls. We also got ‘ladder feet,’ a cramp of yourfeet from standing on a ladder too long.

The dining room had been struck by lightningon June 27th, 1870 and the house was filled withsmoke and dust, according again to the old diary.“One corner of the dining room was torn to pieces;the window was broken and plaster coveringeverything. Next morning, we found the largestoak split from bottom to top and the servant’shouse considerably damaged,” wrote Mrs. Fuller.This room had considerable plaster damage whenwe began to repair it. First the fireplace was rebuiltand Portuguese tile installed as trim instead of

brick. The large, magnificently carved mantel waspainted blue as was the rest of the woodwork,including the chair rail. The walls were paintedgold. We tried to strip the mantel but because ofthe carving, it proved too much for us. In checkingbooks on old homes, we found it to be of the 18th

century. All of our woodwork and chair rails inthe house seem to indicate that date or early 19th

century.In one corner of the dining room there was a

large, ugly built-in cabinet. The top part was glassand the bottom had two drawers and obviouslyhomemade pine doors. We decided to keep it as itwas part of the house. In each corner of the doorsand drawers there is a hollowed space which isprobably to facilitate opening when the drawersor doors stick. Another thing we noticed was alittle hollowed place around each door, next to thefloor. We were told it was to help the mice escapein old houses.

We decided to explore the attic and found halfof it floored in old, wide pine boards. We alsofound several places where walls did not cometogether, leaving a gap of two or three feet. Wecalled these our little secret rooms. In allprobability, they were only the tops of small closets

which were added later, but we were not able toplace all of them above closets now exposed.

Going down to the basement, we found fourbasements with large stone partitions. The woodendoors in the partitions were all pegged. We alsofound human bones that may tell an unknownstory. There were also many old bottles and bitsof iron. We discovered a valuable fire fender underthe porch. Upon examining the supports under thewide front porch, we found the remaining supportstones of the earlier porch which had been quitesmall and square, indicative of homes built in the18th century in North Carolina. The large porchand Greek Revival columns must have been addedwhen the house was rebuilt in 1856.

The present porch, which stretched the lengthof the front of the house, seemed to have been agreat comfort to the owners during the Civil Warand the following years of hardship. There were12,000 to 15,000 Northern soldiers in this littlevillage. In the years directly following, prices wereintolerable for the people; a good example waspork selling for $2.00/lb. Mrs. Fuller writes ofmany hungry people.

North Main Street was the ‘visiting’ street. Ofan afternoon, the ladies of the town would adorntheir best attire and walk up and down North MainStreet visiting their neighbors. Our house seemedto be the gathering place, or rather our front porch.

We scraped and cleaned that front porch as wellas most of the rest of the outside of the house andpainted it beige with ivory trim. Painters were hired(after much difficulty) to do the highest portions.In most places it took three coats of paint. Afterseveral months of waiting for carpenters, myhusband built the front steps, adding an iron railfor support. We had almost completed the houseexcept for trimming and cleaning a few fixtures.

The yard had been neglected for many yearsand needed a great deal of work. After our car anddelivery trucks bogged down in the front yard, wedecided to gravel. We had a straight drive run downtoward the house and a circle put in front of theporch. Later we saw a map of the town and itshowed the exact drive that we had put in as havingbeen there 100 years previously. There were nosigns left of it to go by. However, in clearing forthe drive, the bulldozer unearthed some large old

English type ofhandmade brick.We later usedthat in edging awalk.

Concre tewalks wouldnot havefitted ourhouse sow eb o u g h t1200 oldbrick from an oldhouse that was being torn down.We cleaned the brick and laid a large brick backpatio as well as a front walk. This was a familyproject.

The house was framed by large black walnutand elm trees but there were no trees in the frontyard. For many years it had been used as acornfield. For privacy sake, we put a white estatetype of fence across the front yard and put in typicalSouthern trees and shrubs around it.

We looked at our home with a great deal of prideand warmth because we did it, we restored thishouse ourselves, our family. And there is aparticular love for it because of its history.

WFS Endorses Hugh

Webster to Continue

Cary Allred’s Fight for

Alamance County CitizensAs the true war for control of corruption is now

being waged with people’s health and our waterresources, any opposition to DENR/DWQ and thestatus quo ‘tax-n-steal’ Perdue/Basnight/RandEnvironmental Corruption machine creates casualties.

While Cary Allred has been long respected authorityin the House and Senate, he was viciously and unfairlyattacked just as Hugh Webster has been for standingup for Alamance County citizens. Like Cary, Hugh hasbeen targeted for harassment because of his objectionsof the Tax-n-Steal gang.

Hugh has firsthand knowledge and understandingof the numbers and the threat of sludge spreading. He’sa licensed CPA, a registered Security Broker, and aNC farmer. While our current Attorney General RoyCooper thinks nothing of wasting over $1 million ofour tax dollars to defend his improprieties.

Roy quickly used the power of his office to falselyaccuse political adversaries, like attacking Hugh forsecurity violations. While ex-Treasurer Richard Moore,who is under federal investigation by the NY AttorneyGeneral Cuomo for mishandling the NC StateEmployee’s Trust Fund, Cooper has sat by while BernieMadoff has quietly fleeced hundreds of members ofthe Jewish Community and other North Caroliniansof untold billions, just wasting taxpayer money lookingbusy.

Since the real issue is sludge and standing up to thebullies, any replacement that has held office anywherein Alamance County should be considered conflictedwith the Burlington/Lab Corp/Synagro sludgespreading scam.

WFS supports only Hugh Webster to replace Rep.Cary Allred seat for District 64. We need a good guyin the snake pit on Jones Street.
