Abstract:

Shortia is one of North Carolina's and the world's rarest plants. Few people have ever heard of it; fewer still have seen it. In the state the flower is found only in a few places in Burke, Macon, McDowell, and Transylvania Counties. Dean discusses the plant's history from its discovery by French botanist Andre Michaux on September 8, 1788, its rediscovery in 1877, and its current status.

Abstract:

The white bass is not native to North Carolina, but it was introduced in the 1950s and 60s into lakes and reservoirs in the Piedmont and mountains counties. Most are caught there. Estes discusses how to fish for them year-round, what lures to use, and places to catch them.
