Miller said that the greati 'est weapon anyone can have in the fight against cancer is hope. “The greatest enemy to fight is not cancer, but de spair. Even though my body is full of cancer, it hasn’t touched my spirit or corroded my faith. It can’t kill friend ship, or shut out wonderful memories and the fun we’ve had together.” Her advice to those who are also fighting the good fight against the disease is simple but profound: “Refuse to let cancer touch your spirit, and trust in God’s love.” The 1999 Relay for Life held at John A. Holmes High Sehool in Edenton will be a joint effort between Chowan and Perquimans counties. An from Saturday’s show because it was getting repainted its original red. Ed Noble also owns a car used in a movie. His 1949 DeSoto Sheriff’s car was used in the movie, “Duce Coupe”. This vehicle is presently for sale. Several people in the Fresh water Chapter drive their an tique vehicles. Explains Ed Noble, “The real love (of these cars) shows when you get people who take these cars and drive them every day.” As Shriners celebrate the 77th anniversary of what has been called “The World’s Greatest Philanthropy,” they want ev eryone to be aware that Shriners Hospitals are eager to provide free, expert medi cal care to children in need. Shriners Hospitals have a threefold purpose: (1) Treat ment - to save children’s lives and restore their bodies to the highest level of usefulness; (2) Research - to conduct research into orthopedic and burn care; (3) Education - to train physi cians and other medical pro fessionals in the treatment of orthopedic disabilities and burn injuries. ambitious goalof $100,000 has been set for those volunteer ing their time to participate in the event.

DR. A.F. DOWNUM, JR.= - OPTOMETRIST - SIDEWAYS iNsiGHimm mere are two parts to. vision: central vision, with which you look directly at objects and periph eral vision, which enables you to be aware of what exists on either side. People are more aware of cen tral vision; we use it consciously to read a book, say, or watch TV. But peripheral vision is important ' to locate us in our surroundings. Without it, it would be difficult to walk down stairs, hazardous to drive a car. ! '. In a professional eye examina tion, your optometrist will check . • both your central and peripheral . vision.

Preston Sisk said that he wanted to see Edenton grow, but “we have to be careful to preserve that (historical as pect)” also. The updated UDO is important. “For the people of Edenton, we need to have some control...so we have to set standards that apply to ev eryone.” It is proposed that condi tional use permits be required for department stores greater than 25,000 square feet and shopping centers more than 80,000 square feet. Adoption of a new shopping district zone is recommended. In landscape parking re quirements, the mandate to ret roactively require landscape of existing parking lots has been deleted, and parking land scaping requirements in indus trial zones has been eliminated. A shopping center zoning dis trict has been created. This requires a minimum 5-acre tract and 15% of the gross site must be landscaped open space. A Fiscal Impact State ment, Traffic Impact State ment, and Environmental Im pact Statement must be filed. A renderine of the DroDOSed project must be submitted for review at the time of site plan submission. Architectural guidelines are set for new shop ping centers or for ones that undergo expansion of 10% or more. One of these is the re quirement of some kind of ar chitectural relief every 100'. (It cannot be an expanse of blank cement wall.) Density and dimensional regulations were also changed. In the SC-Zone: • Minimum 5 acre tract - mini mum lots size 60,000 sq. feet • Minimum lot width 200 feet • Minimum side yard set back 40 feet • Minimum rear set back 40 feet In the Highway/Commercial Zone: • Minimum 30,000 sq. feet • Minimum lot width 100 feet • Minimum side yard set back 12 feet (increases 12' for each story) • Minimum rear yard 20 feet Citizens and Council mem bers attending the meeting pro vided input to the Board, and certain minor changes will be made. The most significant of these is the rewording of the environmental portion, calling it an environmental “review” rather than an environmental “impact assessment”. Addi tional wording sanctioning the use of listed local agencies/ sources to satisfy some of the builder’s requirements will also included. Additional light ing standards will be looked at as time permits. A move to recommend the provisions to the Council as amended and restated was sec onded and unanimously passed. nTi »TJ PULLING CIRCUIT Budweiser-Alliance Nissan,' Ford, Lincoln, Mercury “300” CHAPANOKE TRUCK & TRACTOR PULL PULLING EVERYTHING FROM KIDS PEDDLE PULL COMPETITION TO TRIPLE ENGINE MODIFIED APRIL 23 - 24, 1999 « Starting nightly at 7 pm. - Gates open at 5 p.m. Classes Running: 4 Wheel Drive Modified - 1000 Horse Power 2 Wheel Drive Modified - 1500 Horse Power Modified Tractors - 5000 Horse Power Super Stock Tractors - 1000 Horse Power 1800 Mini Tractors - 1500 Horse Power 3800 Jeeps • Street Stock 4WD Truck All Classes are NTPA Sanctioned KIDS PEDDLE PULL Sat., April 24 at Chapanoke Register at 5:30 - Pull at 6:00 (3) Classes - 1st place winners in each class will get to pull at State Fair in Oct. 8 MILES NORTH OF HERTFORD, NC Turn at Weigh Station on Highway 17 - Follow Signs to Chapanoke FOR MORE INFORMATION: 264-2066 - CURTIS TRUEBLOOD Sponsors: Budweiser • Alliance Nissan, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury • City Beverage Co, • Biggs Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, Olds & GMC Truck • Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. of Elizabeth City • Dixie 105.7 • Leon Nixon • Nixon Family Restaurant Performance Unlimited •' Soundview Restaurant • Lee Tractor Inc. • C S L Concrete Works • Truck Accessory Center i ~~ti GARDEN sH ,, !*<*- <3-*” 1 H«m *»>*» • , ,„ ,. 41» »1'4611 . , to Spring into Gardening with QuahtY Annuals & Vegetables g5 ^ 4 pk $15° 6 plc‘ $g00 4 pk- ftat $go° 6 pk. ^at i#r H\ Geraniums Gerber Daisies Blooming Baskets Roses • Vines blew Guinea Impawns $i\ Double Impatiens m and H®BS! ___——■— V*deTPlan"ts I Cement Birdbnths |\ Pots • Planters Garden^atuarv 1 - sSTCRbS'srsgp7 ,SatV-Geraniums and get 1 II ***** f \ — Shredded Pine . pine Straw Mulch jsSSj* $ar ' —-—■ The following members pictured left to right, were installed as Officers for 1999-2000.

Councilman Dixon also ex pressed concern on behalf of local residents about a loiter ing problem taking place in the parking lot on East Eden Street. Dixon noted that while police have done an excellent job of controlling the area, they can not be there all the time. The Town felt that since installing lights there would keep nearby residents awaktt at night, that was not an acceptable option.
