Abstract:

Locals in Swansboro know where to go to get their sweet treats--Yana's Ye Olde Drug Store Restaurant, a place well-known for its fritters. The recipe is secret, and owner Evelyn Moore got it from her mother who got it from her Native American ancestors. Moore opened her restaurant in 1983, and the walls show her affection for the '50s with memorabilia including movie posters, photographs and a statue of Elvis.

He was 43 at the time and his goals were simple--\"work less, live more, make money and not lose it, and create something, not merely manufacture it.\" A steady stream of customers over the past decades points to a successful venture.

Abstract:

Mark Bannerman and his wife Mary Louise live in Columbus County on the farm that had belonged to his grandfather. For years he created his art while teaching art at Whiteville High School. Now retired, he is a full-time artist who practices what he preached to his students--\"to look at things differently.\" He finds treasures in candy wrappers, rain-gutter mesh, old buttons, bits of metals, and other tossed away materials and turns them into colleges which reflect life in Eastern North Carolina. Besides his colleges, he paints figurative works, portraits, and landscapes.
