Members of the Promise Land Society are preparing for the third annual Promise Land Festival, which is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at the corner of 14th and Shackleford streets in Morehead City.

Admission is free. Souvenir and craft items, T-shirts, mugs, fig preserves, cakes, shrimp burgers, hot dogs, ham-burgers, chowder and other treasures will be on sale during the festival.

Music, stories and other entertainment will run through-out the day. Heritage tents with family photographs and items from days of yore will be on display and manned by fam-ily members and descendants who will be able to explain the genealogy or answer any questions.

During the festival, local historians will tell of the his-tory and stories of the Promise Land and life of those living on Core Banks and moving to the mainland.

Musicians include locals Connie Mason, David Guthrie, George Ballou, David Trott and others.

Two tours of the Promise Land will be narrated by local storyteller Rodney Kemp, around 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

There will be a trolley, cour-tesy Bucky and Wendi Oliver of Beaufort’s The Boathouse. Those wishing to take the brief trolley tour can get the free ticket at the festival.

The Promise Land is identi-fied as a section of Morehead City along the neighbor-hoods of Evans, Shepard and Shackleford streets. Fishermen and families who left homes on Core Banks and Shackleford Banks settled in various places on Carteret County: some in Salter Path, others on Harkers Island.

Those settling in Morehead City, in hopes of a less harsh life without storms, called the section of the city the Promise Land.

The descendants in Salter Path, Harkers Island and the Promise Land feel a close kin-ship to this very day.

The Promise Land Society is made up of decedents, spous-es and “wannabes” (want-to- be’s).

Promise Landers celebrate heritage during annual festival

here as soon as I could,” said Mr. Kemp.

People in the Promise Land helped each other out no mat-ter the need: with food, shel-ter, boat repair or even keep-

ing each other’s children if the parents had a temporary need.

“Our heritage is the founda-tion on which we stand. The Promise Land Society allows us to honor our forbearers

and their struggles to create the world we now inhabit. By studying our heritage, we can better understand and appreci-ate ourselves,” said Shannon Adams, in The Promise Land

Volume II. Mr. Adams is a society

member who has helped com-pile two volumes of historical

Between football and the holidays, there are plenty of reasons to gather friends and family around to celebrate this time of year. No matter the occasion, one fact remains true – more time with family and friends and less time in the kitchen is important. Don’t let a busy schedule or a compli-cated recipe keep you from bringing a delicious dish to new events.

Be everyone’s favorite guest with these perfect party reci-pes that are quick and easy to make and transport easily. One secret to rich flavor is Musselman’s Apple Butter, a classic Pennsylvania Dutch spread made with apples and cinnamon that can add a spe-cial touch to any favorite sweet or savory recipes.

To keep the focus on the fun, here are some tips to help make transporting treats easier:• To keep casserole lids in place, on a cool dish, criss-cross rubber bands over the lid handle. • To keep food warm and minimize mess, place the dish in a cardboard box and wrap towels around it. • To reduce day of stress, do prep work the night before or choose recipes, such as Cinnamon Oatmeal Bars, that can be made in advance.

Find more recipes to make, take and share for any occasion or download a free e-Recipe Book at musselmans.com.

Party meatballsRecipe courtesy of Sommer

of ASpicyPerspective.com.Cook time: 22 minutesServings: 40-55 meatballs1 tablespoon butter½ cup red onion, grated1 pound pork sausage1 pound ground beef2 cups panko bread crumbs1 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter¼ cup sour cream2 eggs2 teaspoons salt1 teaspoon black pepper1 teaspoon allspice½ cup beef broth2 tablespoons honey1-2 dashes of cayenne pep-perHeat oven to 400º F and

line large-rimmed baking sheet with foil.

In skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add grated onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until soft.

Quick and easy make-and-take dishes

In large bowl, mix sausage, ground beef, bread crumbs, ½ cup apple butter, sour cream, eggs, salt, pepper and allspice. Add onion, once it cools. Use hands to mix well until evenly combined.

Measure one-ounce por-tions. Roll tight balls and place them on baking sheet, close together, but not touch-ing. Bake for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix remaining apple butter with beef broth, honey and 1-2 dashes of cay-

enne pepper. Whisk well. Remove meatballs from

oven. Pour sauce over top, making sure to cover each meatball, and place back in oven for 5-7 minutes.

Once cooked through, shake baking sheet a little to loosen meatballs and serve warm.

Cinnamon oatmeal barsCook time: 40 minutesServings: 161 cup flour1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal

¾ cup light brown sugar¼ teaspoon salt8 tablespoons butter, melted1 cup Musselman’s Apple ButterHeat oven to 350º F. Coat

8-by-8-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Line with heavy-duty foil, leaving overhang on two sides to facil-itate removal of bars from pan. Coat foil with cooking spray.

In medium bowl mix flour, oatmeal, sugar and salt. With fork, stir in butter until well

mixed and clumps form, then spread half the oatmeal mix-ture over foiled pan bottom, pressing to form a thin crust. Spread apple butter over crust, then sprinkle remaining oat-meal mixture on top.

Bake until crisp and golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Use foil “handles” to remove bars from pan. Cut into squares and serve.

BY SANDY COHEN

ASSOCIATED PRESSWithout Matt Damon, the

solitary fight for survival on Mars would be lonely indeed. Alone on screen for most of his scenes as an astronaut stranded on the red planet, the Oscar-nominated actor is the winning heart of Ridley Scott’s epic space adventure, “The Martian.”

With Mr. Damon’s charm center stage, Mr. Scott has crafted an exciting, hope-ful story about humanity at its best: The brightest minds working together for a com-mon goal that bridges inter-national borders and forges a feeling of unity.

Affable and intelligent, playful and determined, Mr. Damon’s Mark Watney is so endearing and entertaining as a narrator and subject, it’s easy to see why the world would want to save him.

The story begins with

Mr. Watney accidentally left behind during a NASA mis-sion to Mars. When a fierce storm forces an emergency evacuation from the planet, he disappears in the chaos and is presumed dead. He isn’t, of course, and as his fellow astro-nauts mourn him during their months-long journey back to Earth and NASA officials struggle with how to explain his death to the public, Mr. Watney wakes up, injured and alone.

But he’s incredibly optimis-tic and resilient. He fixes his wound with minor surgery and immediately goes about pro-longing his survival, know-ing it could be years before a manned spacecraft returns to Mars. He puts his skills as a botanist and engineer to work, devising a way to grow crops in the arid soil and make water by burning hydrogen. He rewires old equipment from a past Mars mission in hopes of communicating with NASA.

Mr. Watney is curious and talkative, keeping himself com-pany by narrating his every move. He tracks his obstacles and progress in daily video logs. He chats to himself in footage from the helmet cam in his spacesuit, cracking jokes he knows no one can hear.

Seeing his efforts through various camera perspectives –the helmet cam, a bunk cam inside his sleeping quarters, a dashboard camera inside his space rover and the video dia-ries where he appears to talk directly to the audience – adds visual interest, though Mr. Damon would probably be just as magnetic talking to a hand-held camera in an empty room.

Meanwhile, NASA director Teddy Sanders (Jeff Daniels at his most clinical) and Mars mission chief Vincent Kapoor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) learn through satellite photos that Mr. Watney is alive. As NASA spokeswoman Annie Montrose (a miscast Kristin

Wiig) scrambles to protect the agency’s public image, the men strategize how to bring the stranded astronaut home.

“The Martian” unfolds in three settings, all spectacularly realized by production design-er Arthur Max. There’s life on Earth, set inside NASA’s sterile Houston headquarters and the lively Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and life on Mars, a dusty, red, rocky expanse where nothing lives (which filmmakers actually found in Jordan). Then there’s life aboard the film’s elegant spacecraft, from the rugged rover Mr. Watney uses to explore Mars to the Enterprise-inspired ship that carries his fellow crewmembers and their commander, Melissa Lewis (Jessica Chastain).

Unlike other recent big-screen space trips, the sci-ence here is presented sim-ply enough that no suspen-sion of disbelief or quantum leap through the time-space

continuum is necessary. It all seems plausible, and author Andy Weir, upon whose novel the film is based, insists it is, calling it “a technical book for technical people.”

“I had no idea mainstream readers would be interested at all,” he said.

With Mr. Scott at the helm and Mr. Damon leading the cast, “The Martian” is acces-sible and beautiful, cinemati-cally and intellectually. Even though it’s a big Hollywood production, Mr. Watney’s survival really does seem in question, and audiences will want to join the international crowds on screen in cheering for his rescue.

“The Martian,” a 20 th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some strong language, inju-ry images, and brief nudity.” Running time: 141 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

books about the Promise Land that will be on sale at the festi-val, and has preserved a home that his great-grandfather built in the area.

All members are involved in some aspect of the festival. Members Janice Ray Lewis

Ditto is coordinating the food preparation, Bob Guthrie is making fig preserves to sell, and Tommy and Mary Swanson are offering property on which to hold the event.

The pride of their past is evi-dent, as indicated in Gretchen Guthrie Guthrie’s poem, “Once A Place Called The Promise Land.”

“I have read Miss Gretchen’s poems of the Ca’e Banks and Promise Land many, many times.

They have been a comfort to me when I was away from home,” said Ms. Ditto in The Promise Land, Volume I.

Beaufort native and Broadway sensation Gay Willis with perform songs from the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber at the Carteret Community Theatre during a tribute con-cert to honor the memory of the late Sally Colbert.

The concert starts at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at Carteret Community Theatre. Ms. Willis, a Beaufort native, offered to do this show to honor the memory of Ms. Colbert, who died April 21. She worked tire-lessly to support the Carteret Community Theatre.

During the concert, Ms. Willis will be joined by singers from the community and will sing Andrew Lloyd Webber favorites such as “Music of the Night” from “Phantom of the Opera,” “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” from “Evita,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” from “Jesus Christ Superstar,” as well many oth-ers.

Ms. Willis said Ms. Colbert was an inspiration to her because of the hard work she and so many others did to revive the Carteret Community Theatre.

Gay Willis to perform at tribute concert

GAY WILLIS

“When I was 6, Laurence Stith cast me in my first role in a theater production, as a poppy flower in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’” Ms. Willis said. “After that, my access to theater was lim-ited. People have often asked me if I always dreamed of becoming an actress. It never dawned on me as a possibility. It wasn’t until my high school English teacher encouraged me to pursue a career in acting that I started thinking seriously about it.”

In the summer of 1980, Ms. Willis was offered the role of Maria in the “Sound of Music.”

“To have the opportunity to play Maria was a dream come true for me,” Ms. Willis said. “What an opportunity that was. I was able to develop my vocal and acting skills in musical theater. That would not have happened if people like Sally had not worked so hard to make theater available to the community. The spirit of community theater is mak-ing it accessible to everyone, especially to children. Sally was an integral part of making

that vision a reality.” Ms. Colbert had a long

history of performing in the theater. She was one of the founding members of the Pixie Playhouse in Greensboro, a group that produced children’s theatre productions.

She understood the impact that theater can have on a child’s life, especially on chil-dren who are at risk for devel-oping behavioral problems.

Ms. Willis is honoring Ms. Colbert’s legacy by inviting children and teenagers, as well adults to perform in this show.

“I want theater to always be

available in this community,” Ms. Willis said. “You never know whose life could change by having the opportunity to participate in a community theater production. I also want to express my deep gratitude to Sally Colbert for her hard work in bringing the wonder-ful world of theater to Carteret County.”

Tickets are $35 and can be purchased at www.carteret-communitytheatre.com or by calling 252-497-8919.

Three years ago, several students from the Advanced Engineering Design and Technology program at New River Community College in Virginia began a project that would take them back in time over 300 years to the golden age of piracy.

Jeff Levy had tasked his stu-dents at the college in Dublin in southwestern Virginia with a project to create a virtual 3D ship model of the Queen Anne’s Revenge. When completed, the virtual model became part of the expanded Queen Anne’s Revenge exhibit of Blackbeard’s artifacts at the N.C. Maritime Museum in Beaufort.

The public is invited to meet the team of students who built this model, the faculty who guided them and the senior administration of New River Community College at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16, in the maritime museum’s auditorium.

Mr. Levy’s students will pro-vide visitors with a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the work that went into the creation of the video.

The project was a joint ven-ture with New River Community College and the maritime muse-um. The museum staff provided the basic research materials and the students have used it to cre-ate a virtual tour through this early 18th century pirate ship.

“It’s been an amazing joint project,” says Paul Fontenoy, Curator of Maritime Research and Technology for the N.C. Maritime Museum.

Mr. Levy, the program head for Engineering Design, made the trip to North Carolina three and half years ago, and inquired about working with the museum on the Queen Anne’s Revenge project.

In August 2014, the students presented a preliminary version

of their work at the college. The museum installed that version as an essential component of its upgraded exhibit on Queen Anne’s Revenge that opened in January of this year.

The students have been work-ing with museum staff for the past three years in a reverse engineering project to digitally reconstruct timber by timber the Queen Anne’s Revenge.

Mr. Levy’s toughest chal-lenge was student manpower to complete the task.

“The huge hurdle and chal-lenge we had to overcome was this was a project that would typically only be done during a spring semester by fourth semester students at a two-year college,” Mr. Levy said. “After assessing the difficulty of time on task for our students, we quickly made this a year-round project for all students interested and we were able to recruit some very talented freshmen to work alongside our sophomores.”

Through all the hard work, Mr. Levy had nothing but high marks for the students’ drive to complete the project.

“All of the students put in a tremendous amount of ‘out of class time’ on this project and what they did was simply amaz-ing,” Mr. Levy said. “The total man-hours of work that went into this project over the past three years was over 30,000 to the best of my calculations.”

The video underscores the his-torical importance of Blackbeard and Queen Anne’s Revenge.

“The association of Blackbeard and the artifacts from Queen Anne’s Revengemakes this of primary impor-tance to the history of Beaufort and North Carolina,” said Joseph K. Schwarzer, director of the N.C. Maritime Museums.

“We are thrilled the students at New River Community College

Virtual 3D ship model becomes part of Queen Anne’s Revenge exhibit

were able to work with us on this exciting joint venture.”

Mr. Levy hopes what the proj-ect will help establish a bench-mark by which all such projects in the future can be measured by and that it will be a help and source of enjoyment to all those who have worked on the project as well as visit the museum.

Since completing the proj-ect, the Advanced Engineering Design and Technology program has produced an upgraded ver-sion of this 3D model, which the museum will install this fall.

“We are very excited to be unveiling the final upgraded vir-tual tour,” stated Mr. Fontenoy. “We very much appreciate the

dedication of the students and faculty in the Engineering Design and Technology program, the resources the program has com-mitted to its execution and the professionalism of everyone involved.”

Prior to the Oct. 16 event, visitors can receive a behind-the-scenes look at the expanded Queen Anne’s Revenge exhibit. Guided tours of Queen Anne’s Revenge exhibit will take place at 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. These tours are limited to just 25 people and are expected to fill up. Advance reservations preferred by calling 252-728-7317.

In addition, staff members

from the Queen Anne’s Revenge Conservation Lab in Greenville will be at the museum conduct-ing lab demonstrations on the conservation of artifacts from 3. to 7 p.m. The lab provides a unique opportunity to bring the behind-the-scenes elements of the Queen Anne’s Revenge project to a wider public audi-ence.

After the program, refresh-ments will be provided by the Friends of the N.C. Maritime Museum.

The N.C. Maritime Museum is at 315 Front St. in Beaufort. For more information, visit www.ncmari t imemuseums.com or call 252-728-7317.

BY MEGAN SOULT

NEWS-TIMESBlake Deaton is a 14-year-

old Life Scout of Troop 130 in Morehead City, and he has big plans to help special needs chil-dren for years to come.

To become an Eagle Scout, Blake is tasked with raising $10,000 to benefit the community. Blake found a way to benefit the community, his brother Shane as well as other children with spe-cial needs by raising money for a sensory room at Morehead Middle School with his project, “Wings for Autism Giving God’s Special Angels Wings.”

Blake came up with the name for the project because he believes those with special needs are God’s angels. He wanted something that would symbolize lifting the chil-dren to a better place.

Blake and Shane were born at 24 weeks, only weighing 1.4 and 1.9 pounds. They were only given a 50 percent survival rate.

Fourteen years later, both boys are alive and well, but not without complications. Shane developed blindness and was diagnosed with autism.

“Blake had some difficulties, but Shane had all the problems,” said Jeff Deaton, Blake and Shane’s father. Their mother is Suzette. “As we say, they both got dropped down a tree, and Shane hit every branch on the way down but Blake landed on a big, fluffy pillow,” Mr. Deaton said.

Growing up, Blake always wanted a brother who he could talk to, someone to hang out and share things with. But because of Shane’s disabilities, doing those tasks is nearly impossible.

Blake loves and cares for his brother, and that love he feels is the drive behind Blake’s Eagle Scout project.

“Early in my Scouting journey, when older Scouts started talk-

ing about their Eagle projects, I started thinking about what my project should be and how it might help special needs children like my brother,” Blake said. “It is my hope that this project will not only benefit kids today, but for years to come.”

According to autismspeaks.org, autism spectrum disorder and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. They are char-acterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communica-tion and repetitive behaviors.

“Autism is like a snowflake,” Blake said. “There’s no case, no child who is exactly the same.”

The idea for a sensory room came from Savanna Hersh, Shane’s teacher and one of the beneficiaries of the project.

A sensory room is a multifunc-tional room for autistic children, and it takes money to make it happen. Everything in the room must be tailored to those children, from special equipment, educa-tional toys, padded floors, crash mats, special lighting and a sen-sory swing.

The sensory swing will be the centerpiece of the room. It helps calm special needs students when they experience an outburst. The swing has to be certified and costs $1,000. If Blake is able meet the fundraising goal, he will be able to fully equip and set up the sensory room. So to complete his project, he has set up several steps to raise money and get the word out.

With the help of the Beaufort-Morehead City Airport Authority and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EEA) Chapter 1523, Blake will host a flying event on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Michael J. Smith Field, the county airport in Beaufort. He borrowed the idea from Airport Appreciation Day.

During Blake’s event, the pub-lic can go on airplane rides for $25

‘Wings for Autism’ project to help special needs students

a ride. The Scout decided to raise funds through flying because of his family’s rich aviation history and the popularity of the idea. His dad’s a pilot.

“If we could do something that incorporates flying, we could really draw in a lot of money to help the

kids,” Blake said.Southern Air, the fixed-base

operator at the airport, will donate 100 gallons of aviation fuel to the event and will give a discount of $3 a gallon for the remainder of the gas needed.

Coldstone Creamery will bring out a stand and donate all of the proceeds to the project.

A special account has been set up at Sound Bank under an account named “Wings for Autism.” Col. Joe Jones, airport manager, man-ages this bank account, so that 100 percent of the funds raised go toward the sensory room.

To spread word about the proj-ect, Blake uses his Facebook page to post information about the proj-ect. The page also features videos from the special needs classroom that shows interviews with the Morehead Middle School principle and Ms. Hersh, all of which help bring a face to the story.

He has also designed a logo to represent the project.

The wings on the logo represent that the project is going to uplift the children. The shield represents the love and strength for God’s special angels. The puzzle, found inside the shield, is the national symbol for autism. It also represents the complexity and trying to figure out the disorder as a whole.

To further spread the word, Blake plans to make T-shirts, flyers and banners. He will also promote the event on weekends at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Beaufort, where his family attends.

Blake is also trying to get local businesses involved in the proj-ect by providing sponsorships. Businesses can become a sponsor by donating at certain levels: $100,

Tryon Palace’s Lunch and Learn lecture series will return to the N.C. History Center in New Bern on Friday, Oct. 16, with “Greedy Worms Shall Eat My Bones.”

The program begins at noon, and attendees must bring their own lunch.

Whether it was the traditions of mourning clothes, memento mori or the design of tomb-stones, the people of the past took death and remembrance very seriously.

Those who attend the lunch and learn will learn about these traditions and discover how our ancestors mourned the loss

of loved ones in the 1700s and how those customs changed in the 1800s.

This monthly lecture series is held in the Debnam-Hunt Board Room on the second-floor of the N.C. History Center, overlooking the Trent River in downtown New Bern.

Admission is $6 per per-son and free for Tryon Palace Foundation members.

Each Lunch and Learn will begin at noon, and guests will meet in Mattocks Hall inside the N.C. History Center.

For more information call 252-639-3500 or visit www.tryonpalace.org.

Mr. Deaton is proud of Blake’s project.

“I am amazed,” Mr. Deaton said. “I can’t tell you how many

times I’ve had to turn away and just fight back the tears from the overwhelming emotion and pride. He blows me away. He is an extremely unselfish little guy, and always has been. This is something that is very deep down inside him that he wants to

do and I couldn’t be more proud of him.”

To help raise money for the project, donations can be depos-ited to the account at Sound Bank or mailed to 104 Glenn Abbey Drive, Morehead City, N.C. 28577.
