Carteret Arts Honors will present its second trib-ute event Saturday, July 9, at Carteret Community Theatre in Morehead City.

The 8 p.m. program is in recognition of the legacy of the late Bob Malone for his many contributions to various art forms in the county.

Carteret Arts Honors – cre-ated by Kathryn Walker in 2015 – is a local take on the Kennedy Center Honors, and is meant to acknowledge people who have made great contributions to the arts in the county. This event does not necessarily pro-duce visual or performing arts, rather, this group celebrates the individuals who do so.

“I created the Carteret Arts Honors last year to recognize those who had given immensely to the local arts while simultaneously giv-ing back to that same cause for which they had worked,” said Ms. Walker. “Last year we hon-ored Laurence Stith, and this year I am happy to continue the honors by celebrating the legacy of Bob Malone.”

Ms. Walker reached out to others in the community and asked them to join with her to serve on a board of directors for Carteret Arts Honors.

Those serving this organiza-tion for 2016 are Pam Cooper, Katie Dixon, Ann Walker, Michael McGinn and Sally Lumpkin. The board unani-mously agreed that it was fit-ting to remember Mr. Malone as this year’s honoree.

Mr. Malone – Bob to those who knew him well – died on Nov. 14, 2015.

“Bob was a dedicated mem-ber of both the Arts Council of Carteret County and the Carteret Community Theatre, who worked tirelessly to bring the cultural arts to life for our community,” Ms. Walker said. “He was instrumental in the acquisition of a home for the Carteret Community Theatre, which is why it is even more appropriate that all of the funds from the Honors go the theatre’s building fund.”

Mr. Malone had talent as both an actor and director, but most importantly as a teach-er, and this show will feature those people with whom he worked throughout his time in the community.

�arteret Arts Honors tribute show slate� for July 9

BOB MALONE“I am thrilled to know that

Bob is being recognized by the Carteret Arts Honors,” said Sandi Malone, Mr. Malone’s wife. “I only wish we had retired earlier so he could have shared more of his time, talents and vision with the Arts Community in Carteret County.”

Mr. Malone was not just a member of the arts commu-nity, but other organizations, as well. He contributed great-ly by serving on the boards of Beaufort Olde Towne Rotary, the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce and the Beaufort Historical Association. He was a former instructor at Carteret Community College where he taught both drama and public speaking.

“The impact that Bob Malone has had on Carteret County goes beyond what most of us realize,” said Ms. Lumpkin. “I had the honor of serving with Bob on the Arts Council of Carteret County board of directors. While I saw all of the energy that he put into our organization to help us accomplish our mission, which is to encourage and support the development, promotion and expansion of the arts in Carteret County, Bob was liv-ing that mission by doing all of those things, not just for the Arts Council but also for the community theater and bring-ing awareness to the cultural arts that flourish here through his involvement with other organizations.”

This year’s Carteret Arts Honors show will feature scenes and music from past Carteret

Community Theatre shows that Mr. Malone either produced or directed, as well as artwork sponsored by the Arts Council of Carteret County.

As a board member and trea-surer of Carteret Community Theatre, Mr. Malone directed critically acclaimed shows including “Plaza Suite,” “The Miracle Worker,” “August: Osage County,” “God of Carnage,” “Steel Magnolias,” “The Dining Room” and, most recently, his final show and bucket list musical, “Oliver: The Musical.”

The Carteret Arts Honors evening will consist of scenes from some of these shows, musical numbers from mem-bers of the theatre and friends, and tributes by leaders of the community groups with whom he was actively involved.

Art will be on display in the lobby and hallway of the the-ater building, and will be the creations of artists who are members of the arts council.

“Many people are eagerly coming together wanting to be a part of this tribute to a man who gave so much of himself to them and to the county,” said Ms. Walker. “It is going to be a wonderful tribute to a very talented man. Bob was a dedi-cated community member and arts activist, and I only wish he was here to see all of his hard work recognized.”

The Carteret Art Honors board is actively seeking spon-sorships. Any individual or business that would like to assist is encouraged to contact Ms. Walker at 252-732-5738 or kbwalker@live.unc.edu.

All sponsors will be invited to attend a pre-show reception that will be held in the theatre lobby.

All proceeds go directly to the building fund of Carteret Community Theatre, which is a nonprofit organization.

General admission tickets to attend only the tribute show are $20 each and are now on sale at Dee Gee’s Gifts & Books at 508 Evans St. on the Morehead waterfront, as well as the Carteret Community Theatre website.

Tickets will also be avail-able at the door of Carteret Community Theatre, at 1311 Arendell St. in Morehead City. Doors will open to the public at 7:30 for the show.

BY LINDSEY BAHRASSOCIATED PRESS

There’s a secret about chil-dren that Steven Spielberg, Melissa Mathison and Roald Dahl have always known – that no matter how innocent, chil-dren are as capable of under-standing darkness as adults, and sometimes even more so. It’s not that it’s some completely unacknowledged truth, but it is one that rarely seems to perme-ate what we consider “children’s entertainment” in any real way. It just makes adults too uncom-fortable. It’s also the reason why the under-10 set flocks to Mr. Dahl.

A measured embrace of the deep menace in Mr. Dahl’s words is why this long-time-coming adaptation of his 1982 book The BFG not only suc-ceeds, but shines. It’s not just some pleasant romp into the

world of giants. It’s an hon-est-to-goodness, gut punch of a journey, crackling with heart, uncertainty and overflowing with all-out wonder.

There’s really no other way to tell a story about an orphan who is captured by a giant and taken to a land crawling with much larger giants who like the taste of human beings, or “beens” as they’re called.

The orphan, Sophie, is played by the newcomer Ruby Barnhill. Sporting a Dorothy Hamill hair-cut and rounded glasses, this little brunette moppet is a delightful revelation who is at turns feisty, lovable and even a little annoying (in a good way). In other words, she’s a believable kid – a result that Mr. Spielberg has been coaxing out of child actors since “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”

Thankfully, Sophie has been

taken not by man-eaters, but the Big Friendly Giant (Mark Rylance, who was just in Mr. Spielberg’s “Bridge of Spies”), who prefers to create dreams for the children of England, not snack on them. But Sophie, who lays awake night after night, saw him gliding through the streets of London and she can’t be trusted with the knowledge that giants really do exist, no matter how pure her intentions.

Back in Giant Country, things don’t get off to a great start between Sophie and the BFG either. It takes some trials, some scary dreams, some danger and some skepticism before their friendship becomes real – but it’s worth the build.

Whether you’ve read The BFG a thousand times, or haven’t in 30 years, or even at all, Sophie and The BFG’s impossible bond is bound to break your heart.

Mr. Rylance’s BFG is an aston-ishing meld of real life and CG animation. It’s jarring at first but kids won’t mind, and adults will grow accustomed to it. Thankfully, it somehow stays clear of the uncanny valley. Most importantly, it fits in the context and look of this story-book world, which truly does feel like the page come to life.

There are certain limitations to the form that hinder the full range of a Mr. Rylance perfor-mance, but what’s here is suf-ficient, even when he’s flatu-lent – sorry, whizzpopping – or working his way through Mr. Dahl’s twisty language.

The only real misstep is when the humans are introduced. Sophie has had enough with the bullying of the other giants and decides, as in the book, to go convince the Queen of England (Penelope Wilton) and

her assistants (Rebecca Hall, Rafe Spall) to help save the chil-dren of England from certain death by giant.

The pacing of this segment goes haywire and feels like too long and meandering a diver-sion in what is already a long movie. Not to mention the fact that a significant portion of this sequence is devoted to whizz-poppers. It just makes you long to return to Giant Country, the BFG’s gadget-filled home and the land of dreams.

There’s a melancholy hang-ing over the film, too – that it’s Ms. Mathison’s final screenwrit-ing credit. It’s also a lovely exit for a woman who always knew to never write down to her audience, children or not. Ms. Mathison died last November of cancer at age 65.

“The BFG” is rated 3 and a half stars out of four.

A protein punch: A�� fun, fla�orful �ariety to a summer cookout

(Content and images provided by Family Features.)

Find more recipes featuring protein-rich peanuts and peanut butter at gapeanuts.com.

Peanut power:• Peanuts are nutrient-dense and have the most protein of any nut. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, an ounce of roasted peanuts provides about 8 grams of heart-healthy, cholesterol-free, plant-based protein.

• New research from Harvard shows eating peanuts daily is associated with living longer. This study showed that men and women who ate an ounce of peanuts every day reduced their risk of death from all causes by up to 20 percent.• Research also suggests that eating peanuts and peanut butter at least twice

per week could help reduce the risk of breast disease in young women.• Peanuts and peanut butter contain bioactives, including flavonoids, pheno-lic acids, phytosterols and resveratrol, which are plant substances that may offer health benefits beyond vitamins and minerals.

ASIAN PEANUT SLAW1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges¼ cup Asian sesame dressing2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper½ cup coarsely chopped dry roasted peanuts1 bag (16 ounces) three-color deli slaw mixChow mein noodlesDrain juice from mandarin oranges

into mixing bowl and reserve oranges. Add dressing, peanut butter and red

pepper, and whisk until well-blended. Add peanuts, oranges and coleslaw mix, and toss until thoroughly coated. Garnish with chow mein noodles before serving.

PEACH PEANUT SALSA1 pound ripe firm peaches, pitted and cut into ½-inch pieces2 medium plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped3 ounces lightly salted dry roasted peanuts1/3 cup chopped white onion½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped2 tablespoons lime juice2 tablespoons chopped cilantro¼ teaspoon saltIn bowl, combine peaches, tomatoes,

peanuts, onion, jalapeno, lime juice, cilantro and salt. Mix well and let stand at least 30 minutes before serving.

BEEF KABOBS WITH PEANUT SAUCE2 teaspoons curry powder2 teaspoons dark sesame oil1 tablespoon lime juice1 tablespoon light brown sugar, plus 2 teaspoons 1 teaspoon chili powder, divided1½ tablespoons soy sauce, divided1 pound beef fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes½ small onion, grated1 cup coconut milk8 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter8 skewersAssorted vegetables (optional)In bowl, mix curry powder, sesame oil,

lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, ½ teaspoon chili powder and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Add in beef cubes and toss to evenly coat.

Cover and leave in fridge to marinate at least 30 minutes, or as long as overnight.

Soak skewers in water. Heat broiler or grill to medium-high heat.

Before cooking beef, mix remaining chili powder, remaining soy sauce, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, onion, coconut milk and pea-nut butter in saucepan. Stir sauce frequent-ly over medium heat until simmering. Cover and remove from heat, but keep warm.

Thread beef cubes on skewers. Add some favorite vegetables to skewers prior to cooking, if desired. Broil or grill kabobs. Set broiler pan so surface of beef is 3-4 inches from heat. Broil 7-9 minutes on high heat, turning once, for medium rare to rare. If grilling, heat grill to medium-high heat and grill about 7-10 minutes. Serve with warm peanut dipping sauce.

NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER PIE4 ounces cream cheese1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted1 cup crunchy peanut butter½ cup milk8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed1 prepared deep-dish graham crack-er or chocolate-flavored pie crust (9 inches)Whipped topping (optional)Chocolate syrup (optional)Chopped peanuts (optional)Candy bar, chopped up (optional)In large bowl, beat together cream

cheese and confectioners’ sugar. Mix in peanut butter and milk. Beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.

Spoon into pie shell; cover and freeze until firm.

If desired, pipe extra whipped topping on top of pie then drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with chopped peanuts and candy bar pieces.

Fulfilling food:When looking for a fresh way to

pack more nutritious protein into this summer’s family cookouts, consider cooking with a plant-based protein such as peanuts or peanut butter.

One may think of peanuts as a tasty and convenient snack food – and that they are – especially in a trail mix to refuel after some fun in the sun, but peanuts and peanut butter are actu-ally part of the protein food group.

In fact, peanuts and peanut butter have more protein than any other nut and are rich in healthy oils, fiber, many important vitamins, minerals and phyto-nutrients. The latest Dietary

Guidelines for Americans suggest eat-ing at least two servings of peanuts a week as part of a healthy diet.

Getting weekly servings is easy when one explores the variety of ways they can cook with peanuts and peanut butter. The unique flavor of peanuts and peanut butter adds depth and fulfillment, in addition to quality nutrients.

The whole family can enjoy these cookout-friendly dishes showcasing how simple it is to create delicious meals using peanuts in everything from sides to main dishes to desserts. Find more recipes featuring protein-rich peanuts and peanut butter at gapeanuts.com.

Paintings like “Secretary Bird,” by Emily Willis, will be featured this month in the Cassie Howe Algeo Gallery at Carteret Health Care. (Emily Willis art)

AB artist’s work feature� at hospital galleryThis month, the Cassie Howe

Algeo Gallery will feature the col-orful paintings of Atlantic Beach

resident Emily Leigh Willis. This exhibit will be at the new

gallery location in the hallway con-

necting the new and old lobbies of Carteret Health Care at 3500 Arendell St. in Morehead City.

As always, these shows are free and open to the public at all times. Most of the works are for sale. Purchase can be arranged through the hospital’s human resources department.

Ms. Willis paints in both acrylics and watercolors and the hallmark of her work is the use of color and form.

“Over the past years, I have been learning what the description of art is and what

a vast place it occupies,” Ms. Willis said. “I believe there is no right or wrong and find that art is an experience of design, color and balance.”

She has been painting with the same local art teacher since she began my artist’s journey, and through the years has gathered instruction without limits.

For more about the Arts for the Hospital Committee, contact Sally Anger at 252-241-1810.

Celebrate America’s inde-pendence and those who make our freedom possible at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island.

The museum will host its annu-al All-American Fish and Shrimp Dinner from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 9, sponsored by P.T. Jones Electric & Friends of Core Sound.

The dinner is open to the pub-lic, and military members, both past and present, are encouraged to attend with their families.

Tickets for the dinner are $12 per person. Active military and veterans eat for free, thanks to the Friends of Core Sound. Ticket reservations are requested.

“Our annual summer fish fry began years ago as a reminder of the old Fourth of July Fish

Fry that was held at Sea Level Hospital decades ago,” said Karen Amspacher, executive director for the museum. “Back then it was a day-long affair with music, politi-cians and lots of fresh Core Sound fish.

“Over the years our event has taken on a tradition of its own with a focus on what the Fourth of July is all about … America. And honoring our veterans and military families.”

The event will feature fish pro-vided by Quality Seafood of Cedar Island and Ocracoke Seafood and shrimp by Mr. Big Seafood of Harkers Island. Drinks and dessert will be included with the purchase of a plate. As well as fish and shrimp, dinner guests will be able to purchase foods at a bake sale.

There will be lemon milk pies, light rolls, fig cakes, homemade candy and more. Dozens of women in the Down East com-

munity and the county are baking for the sale.

This event is family-friendly with something fun for all ages. During the dinner, children will be able to enjoy many activities planned at the museum.

The dinner is a way the mem-bers of the museum can give back to those who serve the country and celebrate the summer.

“We are very excited to give our active military families a great reason to come to Harkers Island to help us celebrate,” said Ike Southerland, the museum’s board chairman. “Friends of Core Sound have sponsored plates so that hundreds of military families and local veterans can enjoy a plate of seafood as a way of us saying thank you for their service and our freedom.”

For more information or to reserve a ticket, call the museum at 252-728-1500.

BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES

It’s Shark Week at the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, and aquarium staff members are stressing the importance of the ocean’s apex predators with week-long programs and activities.

Shark Week is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, July 10, through Saturday, July 16.

There will be special feeding programs at the stingray touch tank at 9:15 a.m. and family- friendly activities and crafts in the Discovery classroom throughout the week.

There will be a shark-themed scavenger hunt throughout the aquarium each day, and and visi-tors may even get to meet the aquarium’s shark mascot Sharky.

Many of the programs will focus on shark conservation.

Jeff Harms, aquarium educator in charge of Shark Week activities, said there are four different spe-cies of sharks living at the aquar-ium: two bonnethead sharks, a sand tiger shark, a sandbar shark and three nurse sharks.

The main goal of hosting Shark Week each year is educating visi-tors about the sharks that live in the aquarium, as well as those that can be found in the ocean. Shark Week also hopes to raise awareness about the shark’s worldwide decline.

According to Mr. Harms, it has been estimated that up to 100 million sharks are killed by people every year, mainly for shark fin soup.

Without sharks, the ocean eco-system would be thrown out of balance as other animals start to overpopulate. Top predators, like sharks, keep the oceans healthy.

Though sharks are important to the ecosystem there are many fears and misconceptions sur-rounding the animals.

The biggest misconception about sharks is that they are mind-less eating machines, but this is not true.

Sharks have slow metabolisms, and some can go for over a month without eating. They only eat when they are hungry, and they tend to go for sick and injured fish because they are easier to catch.

This helps keep fish populations healthy by weeding out the sick.

Though shark attacks are uncommon, there are still chances for encounters with sharks when entering the ocean.

Those who choose to swim in the ocean are entering the sharks’ natural habitat. There are steps that people can take to limit an encounter with sharks.

It is best not to swim at dawn and dusk when sharks are most actively feeding and the visibility is poor.

It is also really important to sim-ply be aware of the surroundings. If there is baitfish in the water or birds like terns and pelicans are diving in certain areas, then swim-mers may want to get out of the water, as there is baitfish nearby.

“Shark interactions are extremely unlikely, but if you use common sense you can lower the risk even more,” Mr. Harms said. “Sharks are not out to get people, most encounters are cases of mis-taken identity and are extremely rare. You are more likely to be killed by a falling coconut than a shark.”

Shark Week activities are free with admission to the aquarium. Admission for adults between the ages of 13 and 61 is $12.95; senior and military tickets are $11.95; children’s tickets are $10.95; and children under the age of 2 and N.C. Aquarium Society members are admitted for free.

For more information, call the aquarium at 252-247-4003.

History will race across waterways around Beaufort once again during the annual Great Fourth Race on Saturday, July 9.

The race, made possible by the N.C. Maritime Museum’s chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association, is a re-enact-ment of the pivotal voyages small boats made to carry news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence to communi-ties along the North Carolina Outer Banks.

It remembers the excitement, uncertainty and pride at the birth of the nation.

The race is open to all tra-ditionally rigged sailboats. The race committee will create the race course to suit wind and weather conditions.

The committee will detail the course to participants at a skip-pers’ meeting scheduled to take place on the docks at the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, July 9.

A representative from each boat must be present at the meeting.

The race will begin following

the captains’ meeting at 9 a.m. Experts designed the course as a rally lasting four to six hours that covers between six and 15 miles.

The race encourages friendly competition and seafaring com-radery. Weather permitting, participants will gather on the beach at Shackelford Banks for lunch.

“The race extends the fun and excitement of the Fourth of July on into the weekend,” said Brent Creelman, director of operations for the Friends of the N.C. Maritime Museum.

“It is a great opportunity for families and sailors to celebrate Beaufort and its history,” he said.

Landlubbers can also con-tinue the celebration of the nation’s independence. The fleet of white sails will be a striking sight on Taylor’s Creek between 9 and 10 a.m. as the race begins.

The N.C. Maritime Museum in Beaufort is at 315 Front St. For more information about the museum, visit www.ncmaritime-museums.com.

The author of Sarafina and the Pirate’s Spyglass is sail-ing into the County Public Library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 16.

Jaye Helm weaves a magical tale during the golden age of pirates through the eyes of her character Sarafina.

According to Amazon.com, readers will learn about Sarafina and a mysterious spy-glass.

“Upon discovery of a rare antique box, Sarafina uncov-ers an ancient spyglass that transports her back to the 18th

century where she meets scal-lywags bearing cutlasses, who sail aboard tall ships that bear an unusual black flag. But when she is suddenly kidnapped, she must quickly use her cun-ning to survive the adventures of the Spanish Main before the spyglass is lost and she is forced to live the rest of her life at sea as a pirate. Sarafina and the Pirate’s Spyglass is the first book in the Sarafina novel series.”

Author to sign copies of books at county library

Jaye Helm will sign copies of her book, Sarafina and the Pirate’s Spyglass from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 16, at the County Public Library. (www.doceblant.com photo)

Being an author of another time period takes research, and Ms. Helm does her research through re-enact-

ments. She loves the art of traveling to perform as a peri-od re-enactor, and her favor-ite time period is that of her

protagonist, Sarafina.This is a free event open to

the public. Copies of Ms. Helm’s book will be available for pur-

chase during the signing. For more information, call

the County Library at 252-728-2050.
