Abstract:
Core Sound was a sportsman's paradise for waterfowl shooting during the 19th- and early 20th-centuries. Wealthy hunters came from New York, New Jersey, and other northeastern states to shoot waterfowl and enjoy the comforts of clubs, including the Pilentary Hunting Club, Carteret Gun and Rod Club, and the Harbor Island Gun Club. Babe Ruth and future president Franklin D. Roosevelt were among the notables who hunted the area. Though the clubs are closed, their legacy of 100 years remains.

Abstract:
Robert Johnson paints nature. His newest project, \"The Nature Conservancy Series,\" was completed in the spring of 1999 and consists of paintings of ten sites protected by the Nature Conservancy, including Bluff Mountain, Panthertown Valley, and Horseshoe Lake. Don't expect to find the realism of a photograph in Johnson's paintings; his works are interpretations of what he sees. Johnson has lived and worked in North Carolina for twenty-six years, and nature is the subject of much of his paintings.

Just hours after receiving the call for help, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission deployed 128 wildlife officers and 60 boats to help with rescue efforts during Hurricane Flood's flooding. The officers logged 7,877 man-hours and rescued over 1,000 flood victims. Officers also patrolled areas to prevent looting. In Greenville their help was critical in helping keep power on in the city.
