event raised money for a scholarship fund.
Food Lion provides $12,500 to local pantry
From Staff Reports
Food Lion has donated $100,000
in gift cards, food and water to food
banks in North Carolina, South Car
olina, Georgia and Virginia to help
provide relief to those significantly
impacted by Hurricane Matthew.
The Food Bank of the Albemarle
received $12,500 in the form of $20
Food Lion gift cards. They will be
used to help victims of Hurricane
Matthew.
“We are incredibly grateful for
this generous contribution from
Food Lion and their ongoing sup
port for hunger relief,” Executive
Director Liz Reasoner said. “This
will provide approximately 50,000
meals to the hungry men, wom
en and children affected by the
storm.”
Food Lion’s donation to Food
Bank of the Albemarle is just one
area where the retail grocer is help
ing people that have experienced
hardships due to storm damage.
Food Bank of the Albemarle is
working with emergency manage
ment operations, The American
Red Cross, and Salvation Army and
to date, has distributed over 179,101
pounds of food and water across 10
counties of the Food Bank’s service
area. Increased demand at local
food pantries, soup kitchens and
mobile food distributions has made
the need for donations great.

relief, visit www.afoodbank.org, or

Bark For Life
coming Nov. 12
From Staff Reports
Meyler Farm in Wood
ville will once again host
the annual “Bark For Life”
fundraiser this month.
The event Nov. 12 is de
signed to let pet owners
and their dogs take part
in an effort to raise mon
ey and awareness for the
American Cancer Society.
While dogs that are can
cer survivors and caregiv
ers are recognized in the
opening ceremonies at
Bark for Life, the event is
for everyone.
“Lots of people want to
bring their dogs to Relay
but we can’t do that so we
have a Relay just for them
instead,” said Barbara
Roberts the coordinator
of the event.
Just like Relay for Life,
Bark for Life begins with
a survivor/caregiver walk
with an added blessing of
the animals.
“We planned this
year’s event in the fall
so it should be cool
enough that the dogs
can enjoy the morning
activities,” Roberts said.
Events include a costume
contest, best trick com
petition, ice cream eating,
and best looking dog con
tests.
“We’re also going to
award prizes for things
like biggest ears, longest
tail, and shortest legs.”
Most contests are
judged by audience par
ticipation so the more
supporters you bring, the
louder your cheering sec
tion will be.
The event includes rep
resentatives from local
shelters, several rescue
groups, and vendors sell
ing food and dog prod
ucts. Participants can also
purchase Bloominaries in
honor or memory of a pet
diagnosed with cancer or
died from the disease.
Meyler Farm is located
at 233 Woodville Road.
The pre-registration fee
is $15 per dog. On-site reg
istration is $20. Humans
receive a t-shirt and dogs
receive a bandana and a
Relay Swag Bag. Onsite
registration begins at 8:30
a.m. and the event lasts
from 9 a.m. until noon.
For more information,
or to pre-register for Bark
for Life, contact Roberts

Wounds are complex. That's why, at Vidant Chowan Hospital, we offer many
treatments for people with chronic wounds.
If you have stubborn wounds caused by diabetes, injury, infection, burns or
poor circulation, we can help. Dr. Brandon Eppihimer, a certified wound care

Unity in Diversityls it pos
sible to have unity within
diversity? Believe it or not,
Christmas carols often actu
ally enable this.
For instance, “Silent
Night,” originally a German
carol, has been translated
into all mqjor language
groups. It is universally rec
ognizable. If someone were
to begin singing it, in an in
ternational musical setting,
it would be very easy for
others, no matter what then-
native language is, to join
in. The various languages
would, identify the diversity
of the group, and the com
monly known carol would
engender unity.
With this in mind, The
Albemarle Chorale, a local,
multi-county choral group,
will present “A Silent Night”
at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Decem
ber 4, at Edenton United
Methodist Church, and
again at 4 p.m. on Sunday,
December 11, at First United
Methodist Church of Eliza
beth City. Chorale director,
Lynwood Winslow, explains
“The overall idea is to use
carols from around the
world with ‘Silent Night’ be
ing used as an example how
they translate from one cul
ture and language to anoth
er. Even though the program
includes several versions
of ‘Silent Night,’ I don’t find
it to be repetitive, as each
one is different in some way.
Even the simple one-verse
versions in German, French,
and Spanish are harmonized
differently, with one being
for men only.”
gram, the German, French
and Spanish versions “pre
cede one or two carols from
that country or general cul
ture with Gennan and Aus
trian being lumped together
as they share a common lan
guage,” added Winslow. The
second half of the program
is English and American
carols. It begins with an ar
rangement of “Silent Night”
that is a completely new
melody and ends with one
that is “definitely American
with a jazz feeling,” accord
ing to Winslow. This last “Si
lent Night” features soloist
Christine Sclafani.
In addition to the various
renditions of “Silent Night,”
the program includes “Still,
Still, Still” arranged by Joe
Hoelscher; “Il Est Ne, Le
Divin Enfant” arranged by
Gabriel Faure; “Masters In
This Hall” arranged by Rob
ert Shaw and Alice Parker;
“La Virgen Lava los Pana
les” also arranged by Rob
ert Shaw and Alice Parker
(soloist: Christine Sclafani);
“Fum, Fum, Fum” arranged
by Mack Wilberg; “The First
Nowell” also arranged by
Mack Wilberg; “See Amid
the Winter’s Snow” arranged
by Dan Forrest; “How Far Is
It To Bethlehem?” arranged
by Holly flames; and “Sweet
Little Jesus Boy” by Robert
MacGimsey and arranged
by Molly flames (soloist: Ra
chel Sanders).
For a holiday program
that combines diversify and
unity with wonderful musi-
cality, join The Albemarle
Chorale for either, or both,
of its two concerts.
