Remember pets on hot days Crimewatch From staff reports AWARE (Animal Welfare of the Albemarle Region Every Day) wishes to re mind pet owners to exer cise extreme caution when out and about with their pets on steamy hot summer days. They also wish to pass along some good, common sense tips for how to handle your pet during this time, courtesy of the Humane Society. Heat Safety Tips for Pets include: ■ Never leave your pets in a parked car — On a warm day, temperatures Chowan Perquimans Habitat for Humanity Restore Open Tues., Thurs., Sat. 9:00 am to 1:00 pm We pick-up large donations! 1370 N. Broad St., Edenton 482-2686 inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. On an 85-degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the win dows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. Your pet may suffer irreversible organ damage or die. ■ Watch the humidity — Animals pant to evaporate moisture from their lungs, which takes heat away from their bodies. If the hu midity is too high, they are unable to cool themselves, and their temperature will skyrocket to dangerous lev els very quickly. ■ Limit exercise on hot days — Take care when exercising your pet. Adjust the intensity and duration of exercise in accordance with the temperature. On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours, and be especially careful with pets that have white-colored ears, who are more susceptible to skin cancer, and short-nosed pets, who typically have dif ficulty breathing. Asphalt gets very hot and can burn your pet’s paws, so walk your dog on the grass if pos sible. Always carry water with you to keep your dog from dehydrating. ■ Don’t rely on a fan — Pets respond differently to heat than humans do. (Dogs, for instance, sweat primarily through their feet.) And fans don’t cool off pets as effectively as they do people. ■ Provide ample shade and water—Any time your pet is outside, make sure he or she has protection from heat and sun and plenty of fresh, cold water. Dur ing heat waves, add ice to water when possible. Tree shade and tarps are ideal because they don’t obstruct the flow of air. A doghouse does not provide relief from heat — in fact, it makes it worse!

WATERFRONT Continued from 1A says that he is one month into the project and halfway through. He believes, with good weather, he may be able to complete the project in July.” “The last element to be installed (will be) a Co lonial-style Wharf to be built on the east Penelope Barker House lawn,” he added. “This wharf is to be representative of ones that existed during the 18th cen tury-” According to EHC board members Bob Quinn and Jerry Climer, who along with their friend and noted artist/photographer Bill Ahearn, are working on plans for the wharf, the project earlier this month received the approval of the local Historic Preserva tion Commission. Quinn and Climer are busy acquir ing items that are appropri ate to the period that will be placed on the wharf to give it an authentic look. Quinn said that few traces remain to day th at would remind citizens of how important ocean trad ing during that time was to the town’s early days. That’s something he wants to see changed. “Cupola House papers and old documents make reference to over 350 such is how our forefathers ar rived and is a mqjor indica tor of this period’s value to Edenton’s heritage and liv ing history.” Quinn credited the Edenton Historical Com mission’s involvement with being able to make the idea a reality. “The commission, rec ognizing the importance of this period and the lack of its representation among our many historic build ings, monuments and arti facts, has stepped forward to sponsor this important addition to our waterfront,” he said. “This will become a major part of our inter pretive story, decorated to remind us and our visitors of our exciting seafaring history.” EHC President Sally Francis Kehayes said she is particularly hopeful that the wharf will draw the in terest and attention of chil dren who play in Colonial Park adjacent to the site. “I can just see children’s imaginations being sparked by something like this,” she said. Kehayes added that she thought the addition would be meaningful to town and county citizens as well as visitors since crops grown in Chowan County were part of the wares shipped from Edenton’s wharf dur ing the 1700’s. “I flunk this will be a the U.S. Navy. Hewes gave his entire fleet of ships to support our young naval force.” Quinn noted that out- bound ships often stopped in Edenton for a taste from the Cypress Island “Dram Tree Bottle”. “Lifting a toast to the suc cess of their voyage,” he said. “They left a fresh sup ply for the next ship head ing out to sea.” Quinn said that he and others associated with the project believe that the cre ation of a wharf resembling one that would have exist ed during the Colonial Peri od of the mid-1700s “would fill a missing connection — a time nearly forgotten, while honoring the impor tance the sea trade had in Edenton’s history. “Prior to the late 1700’s the Albemarle Sound en joyed an inlet through the Outer Banks directly to the Atlantic Ocean and a world of trade,” Quinn said. “A huge hurricane that occurred during that period stopped the in coming trade and easy ac cess to our shores. Before the storm it welcomed Ben Franklin’s Cannon purchase now mounted beautifully just below the Joseph Hewes Monument. Looking at them serves as a reminder to us of past; they arrived here evading General Cornwallis.” Gemstone Rings ary Bands YA' enaas®"*’ Rings 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM Daily!

They arrived bringing fancy dresses, high hats, cannons and munitions, tea, foods and tools, books and docu ments, British dinnerware, cooking pots and treasures seldom enjoyed on this shore. These same ships left with their holds full of tobacco, cotton, livestock, lumber and goods made in this colonial Carolina colo ny.” Quinn said during that time, Edenton boasted the longest rope winder build ing in the colonies. “Many ships replenished their lines and left in better shape than when they ar rived,” he said. “Edenton’s Joseph Hewes, signer of the Declaration of Inde pendence, owned a fleet of ships in Edenton that plied the waters of our coast in trade. Hewes became the first chairman of the Naval Committee and, as such, he is known as the father of Quinn said he felt it was crucial to make sure that Edenton’s Colonial pe riod of shipping and trade are remembered and was proud to be associated with the effort. “Our town experienced the hurricanes, pirates and sea battles while welcom ing people from all over the world,” he said. “That wonderful addition to our waterfront,” she said. “We already have the historic 1886 Roanoke River Light- house for visitors to eqjoy. The wharf designed to re semble one from the 18th centuiy will complement what is already there and expand upon it, and help us enhance our efforts to tell our story.” CHOWA^HEKALD (USPS 106-380) Vol. 82, No. 28 Published Every Wednesday Cooke Communications North Carolina, LLC Enteredasasecond-classmatterAugust30,1934atthePostOffice of Edenton, North Carolina, under Act of March 3,1870.
