THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY JANUARY 9,2019 5A STEINBURG Continued from 1A The audience patiently waited as Newby, an NC asso ciate Supreme Court justice, arrived a little late to the cer emony. Steinburg, who told the au dience of the delay, noted with a laugh that the last time New by administered the oath of of fice to him in 2013, Newby was also late. Newby administered the oath as Steinburg’s wife, Ma rie, held the Bible. When Steinburg spoke, he first thanked his “angel,” Ma rie, for her support throughout the years. On Jan. 6, they will mark their 47th wedding an niversary. “If I have any cockamamie ideas, she the one who rights our path,” he said. “I would not be here today if not for her.” Steinburg said he was elect ed to represent eveiyone in northeastern North Carolina, but he can only do his job if the region’s residents all work together. “We need to understand our duty and responsibility to help our brothers and sisters no mater what their economic status, race, creed or origin,” he said. “We will never truly be a better region until we under stand we have to work togeth er. We have the momentum to turn this great district around, and that can’t be stopped un less you decide to stop it.” Steinburg said that when he was elected to the N.C. House six years ago, he felt an enor mous responsibility. “I needed to hold myself to a higher standard for personal responsibility. I have been try ing to uphold that,” he said. “We’ve had some interesting news stories over the years. I am someone who has great passion. Sometimes, someone sees passion as anger. It is pas sion and I’m going to stand up for those things I believe in re gardless what anyone thinks, including my brothers and sis ters in the Legislature. Certain things that we’ve seen in the news that I’ve embraced over the years. When others weak ened, my resolve remained the same. Steinburg said he is count ing on the people of District 1 for support and hope and primarily, the people’s prayers. He noted that while in public office, it is easy for officials to sometime wonder why they ran for office. “All the sudden, I’m sitting there, and I feel this surge come over me. It’s like the balm of Gilead,” he said. “What’s hap pening is that I feel restored. I know it only comes from one source — God the almighty — through the prayers of his people.” Steinburg said he’s excited about the opportunities that await northeastern North Carolina. “I assure you, I will make you proud,” he said. “I will not let you down.” The Rev, J. Mallone Gilliam, rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church which the Steinburgs attend, gave the invocation and benediction. Trudee Farley led the audi ence in the singing of the na tional anthem and “God Bless America.” GOODWIN Continued from 1A important place for him personally. The Baptist- owned youth summer camp opened in 1962. Goodwin said he was among the first group of campers. “In 1962,1 came to the woods to learn something about myself, and also to learn something about my relationship with God,” he said. “11118 is a special place for me.” Goodwin made jokes and laughed during much of his speech, but other parts were peppered with just how seriously Good win plans to take his new job. When it came to the pledge of allegiance, Goodwin’s son Kenji recited the pledge of al legiance and the audi ence followed along. But Keiji's speech came via videotape. He’s a 25-year- old Army first lieutenant PETER WILLIAMS/PERQUIMANS WEEKLY Superior Court Judge Jerry Tillett (left) swears in Ed Goodwin as a member of the N.C. House of Representatives Tuesday. Holding the family Bible is Goodwin’s wife Lori. based in Helmand Prov ince, Afghanistan. “I hope to live up my expectations for service in office, and I hope to live up to your expectations,” Goodwin said. “But more importantly I hope to live up to the expectations of my son in Helmand Prov ince.” Chief Superior Court Judge Jerry Tillett handled the swearing in duties. Also on hand Tuesday was Bobby Hanig, R-Currituck, who was elected District 6 Representative and Bob Steinburg, R-Chowan, who won the state District 1 Senate seat. Goodwin joked that Steinburg is currently out of a job. The fellow Chow an County Republican was the occupant of the House District 1 seat, but when the district lines changed, Steinburg ran for and won the state Senate seat. Steinburg was sworn in Friday in Edenton. BIRTH Continued from 1A Kelly Herr, marketing man ager of the hospital, deliv ered the packages to the Smithson family.

THE TONING MILL, LLC NONPROFIT Continued from 1A which currently serves 85 Chowan County children and has an extensive wait ing list. The total of $200,000 will go to the Boys and Girls Club’s capital campaign. So far, the nonprofit has raised $51,775. The Boys and Girls Club hopes to meet the match by the end of this month. Vaughan, who also serves as Boys and Girls Club board president, said the funds will help the nonprof it renovate the 2,500 square foot space in the old D.F. Walker building on North Oakum Street. The county is taking out a $1.6 million loan to pay for exterior renovations to the building. The work includes repair ing the roof and windows and asbestos abatement, Vaughan said. The Boys and Girls Club will repay the county’s loan through $110,000 a year rent payments. “'The Commission has been very generous to us,” Vaughan said. “We are close to our fundraising goal. We look forward to start ing renovations as soon as the county completes its work.” The nonprofit hopes to move into the old D.F. Walker building in the fall. Vaughan said added funds will help restore the histor ic building. “It save a building that is so historically significant to a large segment of our com munity,” he said. “A lot of our African-American resi- dents are graduates of D.F. Walker. They have been looking for ways to save it for years. Luckily, our needs will help facilitate the sav ing of the building.” Vaughan the foundation’s match is designed to cre ate greater participation among the general public, as pledges don’t count to ward the match. “Pledges don’t count, ac tual donations do,” he said. Wilson Green has been a member of the Boys and Girls Club of the Albemarle board for three years. He was involved with the non- profit’s design of the first floor and lease agreement for the old D.F. Walker site. During a December meet ing of the Chowan County Board of Commissioners, he said he there are many great causes in Chowan County. “I think you’ll all agree with me,” he said. “There are a lot of great causes in Chowan County, but none are greater than this.” Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Boys and Girls Club so they can match the 4 Other Foun dation grant, can do so by mailing a check made to the Boys and Girls Club to 131 Morristown Road, Eden ton, NC 27932.
