THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2019 A5 Churches, library among groups getting Pilgrimage funds EWC money helps local historic preservation BY NICOLE BOWMAN- LAYTON Editor Church restoration, a new historical program and fur ther digitalization of the Chowan Herald are among the projects receiving money from the Pilgrimage of Homes held earlier this year. The Edenton Woman’s Club distributed the pro ceeds from this year’s event during its October meeting at The Table, located at the Inner Banks Inn. About 50 people attended. The Edenton Woman’s Club was founded in 1946 and held its first Pilgrimage in 1949. Since then, the orga nization has donated more than $1 million in event pro ceeds toward historical preservation. Pam Wagner was the chair of this year’s Pilgrimage. Three churches — St. Anne’s Catholic Church, St George’s Orthodox Church NICOLE BOWMAN-LAYTON/CHOWAN HERALD The Edenton Woman's Club recently gave the proceeds of this year's Pilgrimage to St. George’s Orthodox Church, St. Anne’s Catholic Church, Pleasant Grove AME Zion Church, Edenton Historic Commission, Shepard- Pruden Memorial Library, Boys and Girls Club of the Albemarle Edenton Unit and Edenton Historic Sites. and Pleasant Grove AME Zion Church — each re ceived part of the proceeds to attend to various building and property needs.

St. George member John Morehead and Father Bene dict Churchill noted that EWC funds will help cover painting the exterior.

Kayla Collins, who makes the state agency’s costumes said the funds will help fund their costuming expedition. Erica Smith said the other funds will got toward the sites’ Minutemen project that is being worked on by Interpretation Coordinator Andrew Cole.

The Boys and Girls Club of the Albemarle Edenton Unit also received funds to help with the restora tion of the old D.F. Walker School. Executive Director Eliz abeth Mitchell said renova tions at the school was scheduled to start Oct. 7. The nonprofit hopes to be in the building by the sum mer. SCHULZE Continued from Al Prime Minister Boris John son would be dealt a set back, Schulze predicted that a few Tories would shift sides, making Brexit more difficult to achieve. Sure enough, Schulze was proven correct as Johnson’s majority winced a bit, per haps defying not only the newly elected prime minis ter’s mandate, but spitting in the eye of a June 2016 refer endum, in which 51.9% of participating voters voted to leave the European Union, a bureaucrat’s utopia that may be all too fanriliar to folks grappling with the Swamp on this side of the pond. Schulze spoke against the hubris of elites’ ongoing ef forts toward globalization —one world government. “The sophisticated politi cians — they think they’ve been around and seen it all, know it all and graduated from Harvard. They think that they are superior, even tually “we’re going to have to rule,”’ he said of the elites. “Nobody wants a one world government if someone else is running it, but they think as long as Tm running it, it’ll be OK. As long as I’m in charge, Ill take care of the people.’” Nature of man Schulze noted how a lot of world leaders, once they achieve their ambitions to gain power, tend to change over time. ‘Tm also convinced that an awful lot of despots started out really as benign, warm human beings who wanted to help people,” he said. “They saw injustice and wanted to change it All of sudden then they got power, then they got more power. Then their idea of in justice changed in their mind, so when anybody went against them — that’s when they start taking peo ple Out and shooting them.” Photos on Schulze’s wall of leaders show two who were assassinated: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Egyptian Presi dent Anwar el-Sadat “I think an awful lot of themare genuine,” he said. “I feel sorry for a lot of them They don’t understand hu man nature. Man is not a kind, benevolent, warm, fuzzy kind of guy. He’s kind of mean and vicious and tough. You back him into a comer, he’s going to try and kill you.” Trade When Schulze served in Congress, he focused on im proving trade relations be tween China and the United States. “Wars are fought more with trade policies than bat tles and armies,” he said. Schulze said China dumps its low cost goods on the market, thus killing for eign competition and trans forming steel towns throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio Valley into the Rust Belt. He said China has long gamed the world trade system through unfair prac tices by keeping the price of products like steel artifi cially lower through govern ment subsidies. “How can that be fair trade!?” he said. “It is not fair trade! There is nobody in the world who can tell me that that is fair trade.” Starting in 1980, China was required to apply for an annual waiver to maintain its tree trade status with the United States. Eveiy year between 1989 and 1999, leg islation was introduced in congress to disapprove tire President’s waiver. When Democrat Tip O’Neil was speaker of the House of Representatives, Republicans were in the mi nority. As vice chairman of the Steel Caucus, Schulze was at the forefront of nego tiations that sought to pro mote fair trade. “Democrats were totally in charge of trade even when Reagan was there,” he said. “They dominated. I fought it in committee ham mer and nail. I led the oppo sition for Most Favored Na tion status with China. I went to the speaker and said, ‘I know you’re going to pass this, but just pass it with 5-6 votes so it sends a message — that’s a veiy ten uous kind of plurality. Let it be slim so they think that we’ve got to be careful with this or we could lose it.’ Democrats wouldn’t do it. That’s how bad it was.” Congressional action granted China permanent normalized trade relations in 1999 and the country joined the World Trade Or ganization the following year. According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representa tive, U.S. goods and services trade with China totaled an estimated $737.1 billion in 2018. Exports were $179.3 billion; imports were $557.9 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with China was $378.6 billion in 2018. Presently, United States and China are engaged in a trade war that affects con sumers and businesses worldwide. President Don ald Trump is negotiating with the Chinese to seek a more equitable trade rela tionship. “I support everything Trump is doing,” Schulze said. “I hope he gets the sup port from the farmers and others even so there’s going to be some pain caused. We shouldn’t just play up the pain, but that’s what the me dia is doing though.” The Swamp Since Trump was elected in 2016, he has been under siege from the deep state, the Democrats and their en ablers, the mainstream me dia, Schulze said. Presently, Congress may be grappling with impeachment proceed ings in the near to mid fu ture, echoes of which hear ken back to the Nixon era Schulze offered a candid assessment of the compar isons between 1974 and the present day impeachment drumbeat — both presi dents were under fire. Nixon was assaulted daily by congressional Democrats and the media, who were led by a deep- throat turncoat from the FBI with an axe to grind against the administration (sound familiar). Rather than tear the nation asunder by stand ing up to the establishment, Nixon resigned in disgrace and Watergate emboldened the deep state establish ment Photo of President Nixon the wall, Schulze knew the man on a first-name basis. “I got to chat with him several times to get to know him a little better,” he said. “I am convinced that if he had stood up and said, ‘Look, I did this. It was stupid, but I STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA UTILITIES COMMISSION RALEIGH DOCKET NO. E-22, SUB 577 BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA UTILITIES COMMISSION In the Matter of ) Application by Virginia Electric and Power ) Company, d/b/a Dominion Energy North ) PUBLIC NOTICE Carolina, for Approval of Demand-Side ) Management and Energy Efficiency Cost ) Recovery Rider under N.C.G.S. § 62-133.9 5 and Commission Rule R8-69 ) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the North Carolina Utilities Commission has scheduled a public hearing in the annual demand-side management (DSM) and energy efficiency (EE) cost recovery proceeding for Virginia Electric and Power Company, d/b/a Dominion Energy North Carolina (DENC). The public hearing has been scheduled to begin on Tuesday, November 12, 2019, immediately following the 1:30p.m. hearing in Docket No. E-22, Sub 579, in Commission Hearing Room 2115. Dobbs Building, 430 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina. This proceeding is being held pursuant to the provisions of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 62-133.9 and Commis sion Rule R8-69 for the purpose of determining whether an increment or decrement rider is required to allow DENG to recover all reasonable and prudent costs incurred for adoption and implementation of new DSM and new EE measures and appropriate incentives. Public witness testimony will be received in accordance with Commission Rule Rl-21(g). On August 14, 2019, DENC filed its application for approval of DSM/EE cost recovery pursuant to N.CG.S. § 62-133.9 and Commission Rule R8-69. By its application, DENC requests revisions to its DSM/EE cost recovery rider effective for service rendered on and after February 1, 2020. DENC’s request, exclusive of the regulatory fee, would result in the following kilowatt-hour (kWh) charges: 0.124 cents per kWn for residential customers; 0.176 cents per kWh for small general service and public authority customers; and 0.108 cents per kWh for large general ser vice customers. No DSM/EE rate rider would be applicable to rate schedules 6VF, NS, outdoor lighting and traffic lighting customers. In addition, industrial and large commercial customers that have, under N.C.G.SA 62-133.9, opted out of and never participated in DENC’s DSM and EE programs are not subject to the rider. Compared to the current DSM/EE rates, the result of DENC’s request would be an increase of 0.004 cents per kWh for residential customers, which would increase the monthly bill of a resi dential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity by four cents. Small general service and public authority customers would see a DSM/EE rider decrease of 0.46 cents per kWh, and large gener al service customers would see a DSM/EE rider decrease of 0.125 cents per kWh. ■ Specific information may be obtained from the Office of the Chief Clerk.

ISSUED BY ORDER OF THE COMMISSION. This the 4th day of September, 2019. NORTH CAROLINA UTILITIES COMMISSION A. Shonta Dunston, Deputy Clerk have learned one heck of a lesson and I can assure you it will never happen again.’ I think the whole thing would have been over and done with. There’s a hell of a les son there for all of us. If you really do screw up, stand up and admit it” Schulze advises Trump to stand up to the establish ment “Trump - I think he’s tough. I think he’s what we need.. He’s the right man for right now;” he said. Media’s double stan dard The mainstream media’s playbook has always been to shout down Republicans, make them look stupid. Schulze shared a behind^ the-scenes story about Dan Quayle, who still keeps in contact with that Reaganite living in that condo near the Albemarle Sound. Remember the big “potato-potafoe” contro versy when Vice President Quayle was visiting an ele mentary school? Quayle jumped in to help facilitate a spelling bee, but he spelled the word wrong and the me dia had a field day tar and feathering the Midwestern conservative. “Dan and I were pretty close,” Schulze said. ‘Teacher handed him a mis spelled word. She handed him a note with potato spelled that way (potatoe). That’s the real story.” In front of the kids and television cameras, Quayle had a choice to make, Schulze said. He said Quayle was a gentleman, so... , “What are you going to do? Embarrass her? I don’t know if it was a trap or setup,” Schulze said. Three presidents Like Reagan, Trump stands in the way of elites seeking a one-world gov ernment — a comparison from Schulze that ended with a note about the gov erning styles of three presi dents. “I think that’s part of what the establishment feels — they feel that they had been making great progress. Main roadblock was Reagan,” He said. “That was one my motiva tions for leaving Congress after Reagan left. I knew George Bush very well. Played golf with him, hunted did all kinds of things, but he was not Ron ald Reagan. He didn’t have the fire in his belly. He was a patrician doing his duty. He wanted people to like genuinely like him. He was a nice guy and tried to be a nice guy. But actually to be president, you have to be a little mean. You have to be tough like Trump.”
