The Tar River Boys, a Bluegrass group from Tarboro, performs during the Happening on the Common Saturday. The group, made up of (from left) Roger Sauerborn, Buddy Zincone, Bill Poplin, Willie Nelms and Kenny Honeycutt, was performing in honor of its former member, Dr. Peter Temple who died on March 7. The show garnered one of the largest crowds of the 42nd annual event.

To The Editor
To the Editor:
A recent news story about the Montford Marines honors the important and too-often forgotten group of men. However, some of the statements in the story were wrong and need correction.

Food

The world's best BBQ started in the south
I love to cook. That's no surprise to anyone who knows me. However, what some may not know is that I have a special love for barbeque. It's fun and the results are delicious. There is something satisfying about filling my smoker with beef or pork and starting the process of turning that into mouthwatering barbeque. Whether you prefer beef or pork, these recipes for sauces and rubs will work. But the ingredients are important. Try not to leave things out or substitute unless you have to. However, feel free to add more "heat" as you desire. I don't make my sauces very hot.
