This is the first in a new season of our Main Street NC series. In the coming months, we'll be visiting communities across the state to hear from local leaders about the positives going on in their towns, and the challenges they face, from storm recovery to gentrification to job development. Nationally touring bands play regularly at the R.A. Fountain General Store in Fountain, a Pitt County town of just 400 people. Now the general store is no longer the only place to find music in this sleepy two-block historic downtown. A couple doors down from the concert venue, guitar maker Freeman Vines has set up his workshop in an old drug store. And the Music Maker Relief Foundation bought two more storefronts next to the Vines workshop to open a recording studio and photography studio to bring in musicians from across the South. Can music and arts be a revitalizing force in rural communities? WUNC visited Fountain and spoke with R.A. Fountain's Alex Albright and Music Maker's Tim Duffy about their efforts.

In this episode we hear from Chris Weathington, Director of Practice Support for North Carolina Area Health Education Centers, about how his organization provides training and resources to enable practices to focus on value rather than spending time on administrative burdens, thereby freeing up providers to better focus on patient care.Chris Weathington, welcome to the Move to Value podcast.Well, thank you for having me.Great. So Chris, for our listeners that may not be familiar with you, can you give us a little bit, tell us a little bit about yourself and your background?Sure. Well, I, I'm the director of practice support at North Carolina Area Health Education Centers, otherwise known as NCAHEC. I'm originally from Eastern North Carolina in small town called Winterville in Pitt County. My background is I've been working in Health Administration for a very long time, mostly working in a large health system but working largely with primary care and in the field of practice management and business development over the years. I've worked extensively in rural health helping providers figure out how best to survive and thrive with value-based care. So my educational background is about a master's in Health Administration and Bachelor of Science in public health from UNC Gillings School of Public Health. So, I'm a true Tar Heel, but I've been in North Carolina my entire life.Great. That's great background, Chris. Thank you. And go Heels. So, you mentioned currently you're the director of NCAHEC practice support. Tell us about NCAHEC. Give us a little bit more and specifically what your role is and what your team that you ever see does.Sure. Well, North Carolina, AHEC was established in the early 1970s. It's been around for about 50 years. It's a state agency. Our program office is based out of the UNC School of Medicine and we have 9 regional AHEC centers located throughout the state, many of them part of large health systems and some that are independent 501c3 not-for-profits. So they're geographically dispersed in Asheville, Charlotte, Winston Salem, Greensboro, Raleigh, Wilmington, Greenville, Rocky Mountain, Fayetteville, and Greensboro. And the mission of AHEC is to recruit, train and retain the state's health workforce. As you know, we have significant health workforce challenges if we didn't have them already prior to COVID. So practice support is one of several offerings or service lines, if you will, to fulfill that mission. So in practice support, we are committed to helping train and retain the state's health workforce. So working largely with practices in rural and underserved areas, primary care safety net providers such as FQHCs and rural health clinics and health departments, specialist and behavioral health providers, helping them to stand on their own two feet and working in doing that in partnership with accountable care organizations and CINs such as yourself over at CHESS. So that's really what we're all about. And in the value-based world, while practices are working in the Fee-for-service model, which still is around maybe a little bit less, but it's still largely there, helping practices not only function in that environment, but also survive and thrive with value based care. And that's hard and it's hard work, but that's what we're committed to do.That's a great mission and, and you guys do great work. I love meeting with you and hearing about how things are going throughout the, the state and healthcare. You guys have a great pulse on that always. And as you mentioned, one of the things that you guys or one of the areas you really focus on really is in the rural communities. And as you know, much of the care in North Carolina is...

Welcome to Medspectives, the podcast about health professionals, the stories of their practice, and their diverse perspectives into the world around us. I'm your host, Arvind Rajan, and today we're joined by Tiffany Thompson, a paramedic in Pitt County, North Carolina. Paramedics tell some of the best stories about medicine, and Tiffany was no exception. She shares stories from her practice, but also talks about the profession of paramedics as a whole. I think paramedics can often be really underappreciated in the sense that a lot of people don't realize just how much schooling and experience is required to work in this career - the ambulance is much more of a portable hospital than a glorified taxi and paramedics are required to have an immensely wide array of skills, which Tiffany discusses in detail in this episode. This conversation was a lot of fun and we talk about potentially starting a new series on the podcast focused solely on EMS stories.

When parents stand up for public schools—and work to hold their schools accountable as well—what does that look like? Hear from two experts in Pitt County, North Carolina, who know firsthand. Program host Kevin Smith (PIO, Transylvania County Schools) spoke with guest host Jennifer Johnson (PIO, Pitt County Schools) and special guest Kylene Dibble (Exec Dir, PPSPC) to discuss how far a partnership between parents and public schools can extend. When the pandemic placed a critical focus on building bridges through communication in spring 2020, years of building positive relationships paid back huge dividends that continue to grow and grow as students return to schools in Pitt County. Parent voice, when it carries over authentically to the leadership of public schools, helps to make sure the school system's goals are carried forward by the whole community. The subject of our program is the collaboration of Parents for Public Schools of Pitt County and Pitt County Schools, made tangible through Parent Engagement Programs, school tours, and community conversations. Their mission also cuts close to the heart of a #SchoolPR professional's work: "Parents for Public Schools of Pitt County advances the role of families and communities in securing a high quality public education for each child."

They rose above gender norms and roles to boldly chart their own path in the world leaving the South behind for a period of time to experience the world on the west coast and in New York. They rose above conventional wisdom around marriage and partnership to autonomously choose their partners in love and life with their eyes wide open seeking radical love based on mutual trust, bold communication, respect and intelligence disregarding age or station. Mama Dee not only bears witness to the truth of our brilliance and trauma, she speaks on it with white heat precision and eloquence. She has used her Cancerian magic to massage the poison of white supremacy out of the skin and spirit of our children and she replaced it with fierce protection and audacious joy. She is nurturer.

We revisit an inspiring conversation we had with Rev. Richard Joyner, to start our new year of First in Future. Growing up in Pitt County, Rev. Richard Joyner hated the land of eastern North Carolina, because that’s where he and his 12 brothers and sisters had to spend their summers, working alongside their sharecropping parents. Through the Conetoe Family Life Center, he has brought together Baptist, Muslims, and Unitarians. The Conetoe Center has gone from one congregation in one small town to 21 places in four counties, helping people eat better, provide for their families, learn and understand the math of agriculture (how much they can save for themselves and how much they need to sell.) He also teaches and preaches resilience and optimism to those within the program.

Delores Sanky “Mama Dee” Eaton was born June 30, 1930 in Montgomery, Alabama. My mother, Mary Kinsey Mcconner Burney, Ibaiye, was born 16 days later on July 16th that same year in Pitt County, North Carolina. Though born under different circumstances and realities in the American south, their paths in life were oddly similar. If you know anything about Cancerian women, you know they are fiercely protective of their loved ones, nurturing, emotional, affectionate, funny, trustworthy and steadfast. Having been raised by two Cancers as a fire sign, you would think I would have had an adverse reaction to all that watery moon mutability. But tell me what child doesn’t want to feel that their parents, especially their mother, thinks that they are the most special being in the world while reminding you that you have to move the furniture when you vacuum or the house isn’t really clean?  What l also know about these two women is that they always rose above their circumstances and realities their entire lives to know more, to do better and to make a way for their children. They rose above Jim Crow south to attend college seeking to be educated to whole new worlds. They rose above gender norms and roles to boldly chart their own path in the world leaving the South behind for a period of time to experience the world on the west coast and in New York. They rose above conventional wisdom around marriage and partnership to autonomously choose their partners in love and life with their eyes wide open seeking radical love based on mutual trust, bold communication, respect and intelligence disregarding age or station. The same year my mother left this earthly realm, Delores "Mama Dee" Eaton became Che's teacher at her African-centered Sankofa Children's House. That year, she not only deprogrammed him from a terrible first year in public school, she pressed her loving wisdom and belief of his Black Genius into his 6 year old body. He is 27 years old now and that time, care and belief carried him all the way through to graduate from Howard University 4 years ago.  Mama Dee not only bears witness to the truth of our brilliance and trauma, she speaks on it with white heat precision and eloquence. She has used her Cancerian magic to massage the poison of white supremacy out of the skin and spirit of our children and she replaced it with fierce protection and audacious joy. She is nurturer. She is warrior. She is teacher. She is love. I give thanks to have her in our lives and I continue to follow her amazing blueprint for always believing in and loving our people she has shared with me all those years ago. I’m honored that she agreed to be my first Crone interview.

Triangle Tactical Podcast - Competitive Shooting, Mostly

Eric Lucas, I have a question for your Q&A if you would like. I know this touches on a subject you have talked about in the past. The closest USPSA club to me is an hour away. They shut down fairly early in the season. Last summer I still wanted to do some more matches and the next closest match is a 3 hour drive one way. Their website said that set up was at 3pm, shooting started at 6pm and should be done by 9pm. It seemed to imply that being present for set up was mandatory. I called them and explained that it was going to be 6 hours of driving for me and asked if set up was mandatory. This resulted in a fairly insulting lecture on how important volunteering is in this sport but the guy never gave me a definitive answer to my question. Now I get how important volunteering is but I’m not sue I want to make a 12 hour day out of this. My response was to skip it and spend the time and money practicing. I’ll spend my money going to some lvl 2 matches next year. I don’t know what kind of stress the guy was dealing with but I wouldn’t feel welcome if I wasn’t there 3 hours early. What’s your take, should I reconsider or drive past to the next one 4 hours away? Also, I am working on a first match type voice mail that I hope to send soon. T. C. TC from Ft. Mill, SC here, with a question for the Q&A Show. How do you see competition shooting benefitting those who carry for self-defense purposes? We have all long heard the arguments from the “tactical” community about how competition shooting will get you killed on the street. How the competition “spray and pray” model of running about, disregarding cover and flinging bullets all over hell to breakfast is a sure fire formula for death and disaster on the mean streets of Anytown, USA. My own experience of being a 20 year veteran of federal law enforcement and competitive shooting, as well as infantry combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan, has underscored just how valuable competition shooting is, for me, when things get loud. I have never understood the perspective of those who believe that being able to operate your firearms efficiently, to be able to shoot fast and accurately, as one must to be successful in competition, is not tactically desirable. I am, however, very curious as to your take on the topic. Do you see competitive shooting as helpful for those who carry for self-defense, as you do? If so, what are those advantages? Do you see any disadvantages, and if so, what are they? Thanks for what you do. Carry on. Austin I know you have talked about this before, but when you bring a new to competition shooter to a match how much should you focus on them verse trying to shoot well, do you just write the match off and make sure they are doing what they are supposed to do? What are your thoughts? Brett I just started shooting USPSA in April. My wife and I both shoot and absolutely love the sport! My question is that I am now a high C with 58%. My last few classifiers had been in the mid 60% range. I would really like to end my first year as a B. I am shooting next week at Pitt County. The classifier is 99-22. Should I try to burn it down as fast as I can to try to get that high hit factor? Or play it conservatively to keep my high C? Of coarse when the buzzer goes off all plans go out the window! Anthony I was at a local USPSA club match a while back and a fellow shooter noticed I was dropping my head as I would address my sights. I didn't think much of it at the time when I was shooting my limited gun with iron sights. Now that I have decided to run carry optics it has became more obvious that I have been dropping my head to get a good sight picture. Is there any benefit to address sights without bringing your head down during the draw stroke and bringing sights up to your target focus area? Other than possible unproductive movement? Thanks. Ronald Should carry optic shooters be required to wear their underwear on their head? Ray What caliber and division would you start a new Jr shooter in, and what's the best way to get my daughter started? Drew Lucas, I went cheap to begin with on holsters and mag carriers to make sure I liked action pistol shooting. Now it's been about half a year and I'm more excited than ever. I'm shooting IDPA mostly, can you tell me what I should look for in better mag carriers? I'm using a double pouch now and have trouble indexing on the 2nd magazine. Kevin At what point on the draw do you put your finger on the trigger? Normally when I draw and shoot I have my trigger finger indexed on the side of the gun outside the trigger guard until I get close to on target and then I move my finger to the trigger. While dry firing I noticed I could speed up my shot time by getting my finger on the trigger sooner, prepping the trigger while still extending and getting a sight picture and then pressing the trigger the rest of the way once I had a good sight picture. I was worried I could DQ doing this for having my finger in the trigger guard on the draw if I put my finger in too soon, but 10.5.5.1 seems to say as long as I'm not sweeping myself with the finger in the trigger guard then it's not a rule infraction.

It is the middle of August, and ridiculously hot these days. It’s the time of year Reverend Richard Joyner hated, growing up in Pitt County. For him and his 12 brothers and sisters, it meant another back-breaking day after another, in the fields with his sharecropping parents. The only thing he was sure of then was that he would never be in the fields when he grew up. Nowadays, he runs an award-winning ministry based in the fields – and loves every minute of it. As you listen to this week’s interview, I hope you’ll think of something you may have been considering doing, but avoiding. It could be just the thing you were called to do. Rev. Joyner is the pastor at Conetone Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, and founder of Conetone Family Center. This installment of First in Future is part of a special TV series produced in collaboration with UNC-TV, and recorded in UNC-TV’s Legislative Studio in downtown Raleigh. Taped segments will air on the North Carolina Channel. Visit www.ncchannel.org/schedule/ for specific air dates. Watch the UNC-TV broadcast version via online streaming here!
