School Continued From Page 1-A the ticket outlet in the Visitor’s Center on Broad Street.) “Under His Wings”, the love story of Ruth and Boaz (from the Bible), enjoyed excellent reviews in Nags Head, where the company presented it for the past two years. This play, written in the early 1990s by Mike Herron, first opened on the West Coast. Gloria & Jef frey Emmrich collaborated on it and were a part of the origi nal production. They havedone the play many times since then, in various places, and are very familiar with it. Many of the actors have also been in this play before, so it’s not going to take too long for the company to put this show together. It will open June 1. For “King David”, Jeffrey Emmrich expects to be in re hearsal 10-12 hr. a day (except Sunday mornings) from the time “Under His Wings” opens until King David opens (June 15). The actors will be originat ing all of these roles; they will interpret and develop their parts, starting from scratch. “‘King David’ is very excit ing because we’re...’workshop ping’ it,” explains Jeffrey II II il I! if If II If II Emmrich. “it's never been per formed before...you can’t just take a script that’s never been used and assume it’s going to be exactly like the finished product...so we have the privi lege of playing with it and tweaking with it...” The Company enjoyed excel lent reviews in Nags Head, but Emmrich said that they felt it was important to get into an other location, “maybe a little bit closer to Va. Beach.” Traf fic was cited as a problem, and then “this community (Eden ton) has opened its arms to us.” “Everyone has really coop erated so much,” he says. “...the Sheriff’s Office, the school dis tricts, city officials, the minis terial association...” Six to eight local restaurants are fixing meals for the troupe, and one of the local grocery stores is providing groceries. Citizens have been housing some of the students. “It’s been a community ef fort!” says Emmrich. In addition to bringing whole some entertainment and art to the community, though, the Company is creating other ben efits. A number of bus tour companies from VA and from NC are going to send tourists and day visitors to Edenton. Local restaurants are being recommended for meals, and the Visitor’s Center has already booked historic walking tours. II U il I! IS !1 IS II I!

Most come from North Central University, in Minne apolis, MN, although they do come from all over the midwest, with a few from other states (e.g., CA). About half are drama majors. Most oth ers are in related fields. “Many of them have never been to the east coast or to this state,” says Emmrich, “ so they’re and oohing over the scenery...It’s a good change. It’s a great way to spend the summer...It sure beats flipping hamburgers; they can hone their skills and enjoy it at the same time, and just focus on the things they love to do.” During the school year, these students are active in drama, but also have other school work to contend with. Here, they can focus on what they love to do. “They love to act. Ours is a Christian University and so they love to minister in this kind of way...we feel like min ion jr uau uc maijy uuicx cm things, not the least of which is presenting good family enter tainment, Christian values — that kind of thing...” “The students were all hand picked,” says Jeffrey Em mrich. “Every one of them is here because they’re exactly right for the roles that they’ll be playing.” “We’re glad to be here, and the community is so warm— It feels like success already!” To buy, sell, trade or rent...

Shown here during the presentation are (I r) Jack Parker, Larry Moore, Gil Burroughs, Anna Kay Laughton, Mary Smith, Lisa Evans, Christopher Bunch and Jack Schroeder. Sounds help fund music programs BY LAURIE HUFFORD Staff Writer The Albemarle Sounds are the Edenton chapter of the So ciety for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, Inc. Like the Socie ty’s name implies, one of the group’s goals is to try to keep young people interested in singing. “The whole idea is to try to get the youth of the nation into singing — to preserve the sing ing tradition,” explains Gil Burroughs. One program designed to do this is “Sing, America”, which has a Canadian counterpart, “Sing, Canada”. But the group’s most popular local program is probably its “Singing Valen tine” campaign, which it ac complishes in partnership with Evans Florist. How the project ‘works is simple: a customer calls Evans Florist to order a singing val entine. Evans Florist books the “gig”, takes care of all the paperwork, and donates the flowers used. The Quartets “deliver” a rose to each valen tine recipient, along with two love songs. For the sake of perfection, two songs are stan dard: “Let Me Call You Sweet heart” and “Heart of My Heart, I Love You”. The cost of a singing valen tine is $25 and, since Evans Florist donates all the flowers, 100% of the money can be do nated to the local school sys tem. Money is distributed to indi INSIGHTINT& EYESIGHT DR. A.F. DOWNUM, JR. - OPTOMETRIST - CARING FOR YOUR CONTACTS It's not hard to wear contact lenses successfully, but it does take some extra care regarding eye hygiene — and simple common sense, too. Here are some impor tant reminders: • Unless your lenses are specifi cally, prescribed for entended wear, be sure to remove them be fore you go to sleep. • Soft contact lenses — except for the disposables — need to be cleansed and sterilized daily. To remove protein deposits, use an enzymatic cleanser at least once a week. • Wear sunglasses on windy days to keep dust particles out of your eyes. The dust is bad for both eyes and lenses. • Avoid getting chemicals — even hair spray — on your lenses. • Never wear a torn contact lens, no matter how small the tear. • If there is pain or eyes are red, the first-aid rule is to remove the lenses for a" few days. Call your optometrist. • If there is a change in your vision, schedule an examination. brought to you as a community service by: Dr. A.F. Downum 103 W.

This year, the group de livered 36 valentines, a few more than last year, and was able to distribute $900 to four schools, “It’s our attempt to try to help the school’s vocal music programs,” says Gil, “to keep the kids singing.” Speaking again of the valen tines, Gil notes, “Strange as it may seem, we sing just about as many singing valentines to men as we do to women.” Dealers Continued From Page 1-A After receiving information that Gregory was a volume drug dealer, arid after review- j ing the scope of their own in vestigation, Sheriff Fred * Spruill, of the Chowan County I Sheriff’s Department, had de cided to call in federal agents. Whenever there is evidence that someone’s selling two or more ounces of crack cocaine, federal indictments are usu ally sought, and it’s estimated that undercover law enforce ment authorities bought ap proximately 97g of cocaine from Gregory during the course of the investigation. Twelve officers from the Sheriff’s Department, the Bu reau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the SBI, the FBI, and the State Department of Rev enue were involved in Gregory’s arrest. “The joint investigation has proven to be effective, as it’s helped us to arrest and convict major drug dealers in our area,” commented Sheriff Fred Spruill. “A good job has been done by all.” I - ■- . ■ '■■■ o;":''^71 ' Business Relocated Donald Forehand wishes to announce that his busi ness, Countrywide Enter tainment, has moved to a new location at 108 South Oakum Street in Edenton (formerly occupied by Trademark Images).
