Abstract:
\"They've been called blue grass and newgrass. Some have tried to pigeonhole its sound as country, Americana, indie roots rock.\" However, the music Carolina Still plays defies genre, and the best anyone can come up with is \"old-time moonshiner stomp.\" The band performs about 200 shows a year from Eastern Carolina (their home base) to Memphis and New York. Rumley talks with band members about their style and music over the past eight years.

Abstract:
A large sculpture in the lobby of the NC Estuarium greets visitors as they enter. Completed in 1998, it took artist, educator, and sculptor Whiting Toler twenty-three months to create. It has thousands of parts--driftwood in all shapes and sizes, hundreds of feet of aluminum or copper wiring, and artifacts from the state's history. Its purpose is to tell the story of the river, the estuary, and the cycle of evaporation and precipitation that causes it all to happen.

Abstract:
Blue crabs are an important part of the state's commercial fishing industry, contributing $30 million a year. Many of the crabs caught in the Pamlico River are brought to the Crab Ranch on North Creek near Bath where they are graded by size. However, in the past seventeen years crabbing has declined. At its 1996 peak, over eight million pounds of blue crabs were caught in the Pamlico, but in 2011, slightly less than 3 million pounds were brought. Hurricanes seem to be the culprit as they have disrupted blue crab habitats.

Diane Lee was raised on the river and used to crab with her father. When she took up pottery, it seemed natural to include crabs. Although some potters paint their designs on pots, Lee says she never mastered painting. She creates the crabs in 3-D, and they appear on dishes, pots, lampshades, and other functional items.
