The winter edition of the Core Sound Museum and Heritage Center’s signature event, Taste of Core Sound, will go on as scheduled, despite the damage left by Hurricane Florence and the rebuilding set to begin in February.

Taste of Core Sound will be held at Sammy Boyd’s waterfront restaurant, Southern Salt, Friday, Feb. 22 with a full array of tradi-tional winter seafood and wild game dishes.

This gathering of seafood lov-ers, museum supporters, sto-rytellers, decoy collectors and friends is hosted by The Redhead Society, Core Sound’s educational programming fund.

“We couldn’t do this event now after the storm damaged our building without Sammy’s will-ingness to share his restaurant, cooks, kitchen and energy with Core Sound to keep this winter event on our calendar,” said Karen Amspacher, Core Sound Museum executive director. “Sammy has agreed to close his business that evening to help us. This fund-raiser for our educational pro-gramming is much needed this year as we make plans for school groups this spring and our sum-mer camps this summer.”

The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with hot crab dip, Down East

egg rolls (one of Southern Salt’s signature recipes) and time to visit around Southern Salt’s cash bar.

A silent auction of decoys from members of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild, along with hunting gear and other outdoor equipment for outdoorsmen, will welcome bidders in-house and online at coresound.com.

The buffet menu will include:• Conch stew• Fried oysters• Baked scallops• Stewed ducks and rutabagas• Fried shrimp• Chicken and pastry• Winter collards• Sweet potatoes• Homemade coleslaw• Light rolls• Albert’s famous lemon pie

The evening’s program includes a presentation by Robbie Smith of the Carolina Decoy Collectors Association discussing shorebird hunting on Core Sound.

“Antique shorebird decoys are the epitome of great southern folk art,” he said. “They are an unintentional art form which were made and used to attract and kill shorebirds for food. The story of shorebird hunting in North Carolina is a part of our heritage which needs to be told and the decoys are an art form

Southern Salt to host winter ‘Taste’

which needs to be celebrated and enjoyed.”

The evening will end with a live auction offering a prize collection

of redhead decoys. This year’s group includes a contemporary decoy by Kelly Nelson, a contem-porary working decoy carved by

Patrick Eubanks and donated by Dr. Stan Rule and an especially hard to find heritage decoy by the late David A. Lawrence.

A special item never before offered will be a carving day with “Brother” (Walter) Gaskill, one of Core Sound’s award-winning carv-ers and a talented teacher and mentor for new carvers.

“We are especially thankful for these contributions of time and talent from these carvers and con-tributors. These funds will be (a) help (to) bring back the strong educational programs Core Sound offers,” said Dr. Ike Southerland, chairman of the Redhead Society.

Sponsors for this event include Trader Construction, Knott’s Warehouse, the Rob Bizzell family, Piggly-Wiggly of Kinston and New Bern, Eastern Aviation Fuel and Ace Marine and Rigging.

Tickets are $50 per person for museum members and $65 per person for non-members. The tick-et purchase includes a one-year membership to the museum.

Tickets are available at the Core Sound’s Museum Store, 806 Arendell St., Morehead City, by calling 252-728-1500 or online at coresound.com.

All proceeds go to the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center Redhead Society for education programs.

The members of Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club have been busy during the winter months with meetings and programs.

In January, the club welcomed Kathryn Hudson who is a Reiki master-teacher, author and speaker based in Europe, with an off-season presence in Emerald Isle.

After 22 years as an interna-tional banker, Ms. Hudson’s life path veered sharply toward the spiritual in 2006, according to a release from the women’s club.

For the last decade, Ms. Hudson has practiced and taught the art of Reiki, a practice of personal and energetic well-being. She taught garden club members some basic practices during the program.

Ms. Hudson offers Reiki ses-sions and teaches Reiki classes internationally and in New York and North Carolina.

She has written several books in French and is now looking for a publisher in the U.S.

According to the release, Reiki is now valued by the traditional medical community in the United States.

In other news, Bonnie Ferneau organized a group of club mem-bers to take part in the annual Penguin Plunge event in Atlantic Beach Jan. 1.

The plunge raised money for Mile of Hope, an organization that offers young cancer patients a weekend at the beach. This year, the beach weekend will be held on Mother’s Day weekend.

On the first night of the event, women’s club members will regis-ter the participants and help them enjoy a buffet dinner, after which they can do crafts. Club members will also serve a hot dog lunch and enjoy time with the families dur-ing the weekend.

The women’s club raises money each year to be used for donations. The scholarship recipi-ent this year is Rachel Lehman. Ms. Lehman is in her second year

of school at Carteret Community College, majoring in respiratory therapy.

In December, the club also made charitable donations to the Carteret County Board of Education Foundation and Caroline’s House.

As for upcoming events, on Friday, Feb. 22 wellness planner and Go-Green specialist Martha Massaad will present an informa-tive program on “Essential Oils and Your Health.”

Ms. Massaad has been researching and using oils for a number of years, and shared information on the benefits of using essential oils as a part of a daily routine for fighting cold and flu symptoms, relaxing the body, soothing sore muscles and allevi-ating pain.

Friday, March 22, a program will be held at Pine Knoll Shores town hall beginning at 9:30 a.m. It will be presented by Stephanie Kaplan, a local acupuncturist.

The club’s annual fashion show will be held at 11:30 a.m. Friday, April 5 at the Country Club of the Crystal Coast.

Tickets must be purchased in advance. Individual tickets are $25. Tickets for a table of nine are $225. For more information, visit the club’s Facebook page.

Friday, April 26, the program will be about “Maintaining Muscle, Flexibility, Balance, and Preventing or Slowing down Osteoporosis.”

The program will be presented by Juan Pulido, a certified trainer and health coach.

PKS Women’s Club member-ship is open to all women in Pine Knoll Shores. The monthly meet-ings are held the third Friday of each month at town hall. Social time and refreshments begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by a speaker at 10 a.m. A business meeting is held after the speaker. Visitors are always welcome.

Review: ‘American Experience: Rachel Carson’ repetitive but informative

Have a Netflix night

BY MEGAN LEWISTWM

The award-winning PBS series “American Experience” has been hailed as “a beacon of intelligence and purpose” by the Houston Chronicle, accord-ing to information found on the show’s website, pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience.

Now, the show’s documen-tary on Rachel Carson has been released to Netflix for subscribers to enjoy.

Aside from being repetitive, the documentary gives view-ers a solid, well-researched look at the work of a woman who forever changed the way Americans see and interact with their environment.

Modern movements prob-ably owe a great deal to the tenacious fight of this woman, who saw a problem and set out to make it known to the public in an era of scientific negligence and lackluster gov-

ernmental regulation.Of course, being part of the

award-winning PBS series, the documentary doesn’t stop with the dry facts.

It delves into Ms. Carson’s life, revealing details of events from her childhood years and beyond, quirks of her person-ality and the effect of her relationships on her work and vice versa.

A mostly solitary, private woman, Ms. Carson’s life was like the tide pools she so enjoyed studying: teeming with activity under a quiet, calm surface.

Once her work is viewed through the depths of her experiences, her motivations seem clearer.

Ms. Carson was motivated to make a difference to the natural world she admired, and her writing inspired change. It also inspired new generations of naturalists.

community members.The documentary is timely

and interesting for those in the area who might wonder about the reserve’s namesake.

Rated PG and running 1 hour and 53 minutes long, this documentary is appropriate for children but not likely to hold their attention. Adults, however, should find it enlight-ening.

Three stars out of four.

There’s always something fun and exciting going on at the Western Carteret Public Library and February is no exception.

Timothy Nolin, head librar-ian, has an intriguing offer for all the patrons to go on a blind date with a book.

The concept is perhaps slightly off kilter, but it’s designed to get readers paired up with books that perhaps they would never have thought to read.

It might be a mystery, a biography or even action adventure, only you won’t be able to judge the book by its cover, because the cover is wrapped in brown paper.

So how do you know the genre?

“The books are pre-wrapped with enticing descriptions on the cover. A limited number of books were pulled from young adult and adult non-fiction, fiction, biography and audio-

Don’t judge a book by its cover: Library to host ‘blind date’ with literature

Wrapped books sit on a shelf with card catalogs. Western Carteret Public Library staff pre-wrapped books in a similar way for the library’s free February event: Blind Date with a Book.

books,” Mr. Nolan said. So how do you pick? The books are displayed in

front of the checkout desk

and patrons may pick up the books to read the descrip-tions.

The clues will guide the

selection but if readers are still unsure, ask one of the staff to help.

Unsure readers can tell the

library staff their usual read-ing preferences and they will make a suggestion without giving the title away.

Readers that have accepted the blind date are encouraged to meet at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 2 at the Java Post in the Cape Carteret Shopping Center to talk about their “dating” experience.

“Discussion will center around: Was the book outside of your reading comfort zone? Did it stretch you? Are you glad you read it? Are you likely to keep reading this genre?” Mr. Nolin said.

The Blind Date with a Book event is part of the free joint Adult and Young Adult Program for this month, ages 15 and older.

The Western Carteret Public Library is at 230 Taylor Notion Road in Cape Carteret.

For more information, con-tact Mr. Nolin at 252-393-6500.

Emerald Isle Garden Club’s annual Card and Games Party Fundraiser will be held from 1-4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27 at the Emerald Isle Community Center.

Participants will enjoy card games, such as bridge, as well as other board and table games of their choice.

Proceeds help to support the club’s many community beau-tification and service projects,

which include the new educa-tional kiosk at Emerald Woods Park, the Green Thumbs youth club, maintaining a rain garden and other plantings at the com-munity center and the upcom-ing Bikes and Blooms event in May.

Last year’s fundraiser was attended by more than 150 play-ers. Tickets are $15 and include entry into the event, a chance at a door prize, light fare buffet,

desserts and beverages. Tickets will also be sold at the event for raffle items and a cash drawing, with winners chosen during the afternoon event.

Event tickets must be pur-chased in advance, as none will be sold at the door.

For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Theresa Connelly-Kavanagh at 252-764-0420 or email eigc2014@gmail.com.

EI Garden Club to host fundraiserThe County Public Library in

Beaufort has new selections in the young adult section.

With poetry month approach-ing in April, readers may be inter-ested in a biography of a famous poet. Library patrons will find A Girl Called Vincent: The Life of Poet Edna St. Vincent Millay.

The book jacket states the following:

“There was never anything calm about Vincent. Her sisters used to say that she had a bee chasing her. Edna St. Vincent Millay, was an acclaimed American poet who came to embody the modern, liberated woman of the jazz age.”

The author, Krystyna Poray Goddu, holds a degree in com-parative literature from Brown University.

She has worked in school libraries and taught writing to

middle school students in New York City.

The library also has The Story of Seeds by Nancy F. Castaldo.

The cover jacket explains, “The world’s seeds are in crisis. Of 12,000 plant species used for human food, only about 150 are being grown for sale, only eight grains are traded through-out the world, and half of our calories come from just three: rice, wheat, and maize.”

The author, Ms. Castaldo, warns, “seeds can disappear and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.”

Readers will also learn more about seed pioneers, seed war-riors and why biodiversity equals security. There’s also informa-tion about heirloom varieties, the ultimate safety net and hope and action, according to a release.

Author Dr. John Harvey, Ph.D., has announced the recent publication of The Stillness of the Living Forest: A Year of Listening and Learning, released in November by Shanti Arts Publishing in Brunswick, Maine. The book mentions the Rachel Carson Reserve.

The story of the book is the author’s journey to forge a deep nature connection by visiting the same spot in the woods for an hour long obser-vation session once a week for a full year.

Late one October, Dr. Harvey was on vacation in Atlantic Beach and decided to sit at the Rachel Carson Reserve.

The intention of the quiet time was to connect with nature and to observe the flow of natural life through the four seasons.

According to Dr. Harvey, the commitment to a full-out nature immersion came natu-rally.

As a boy growing up in rural Wisconsin, he developed a lifelong interest in all things outdoors. Through family

example and encouragement, he learned to revere the natu-ral world.

“As the stresses of work, community and family obli-gations accumulated, he felt a growing need to rebalance his life, a need to spend more time outdoors, to breathe in the fresh air, to study the plants, animals and birds, and to reacquaint himself with the cycle of the seasons,” a press release reads. “A commitment to sit, alone (or so he thought) in the woods once a week for a year seemed like a good way to reconnect with nature as well as an opportunity to take on a personal challenge.”

He chose a “sit spot” along the shoreline of Prompton Lake in northeastern Pennsylvania.

As the year progressed, Dr. Harvey learned more about the natural world and, by extension, humanity and him-self than he would have ever imagined possible.

His encounters with nature included seeing and listening to a plethora of birds, from winter wrens to red-tailed hawks, from sweet-singing yel-

low warblers to tree-rattling pileated woodpeckers.

He watched the seasonal progression of wild flowers from skunk cabbage, to violets, to trout lilies, to goldenrods. He sat outside in all types of weather from warm summer sunshine, to a snowy Alberta clipper, to below zero cold.

He watched and listened to the deer, squirrels and chip-munks and survived a heart pounding encounter with a black bear.

Each week in the woods brought new themes and new stories. Dr. Harvey kept a per-sonal journal and by writing down all that he had seen and heard.

By recording all that he thought and felt, he was able to reflect upon the layered effect of what he had learned and what he still needed to learn.

In sharing his experiences with others, he found that many people expressed their own interest in and desire to reconnect with nature.

Soon his journal grew into a book.

CONTRIBUTINGSPONSORS

The Eastern/Central North Carolina Scholastic Art Awards were presented recently and four county schools were repre-sented in the awards category.

Broad Creek Middle School, Croatan High School, East Carteret High School and West Carteret High School all had stu-dents place with honors in the prestigious art competition that featured students from 62 coun-ties, spanning from Winston-Salem to the coast, contending for top honors in visual arts.

Students must digitally sub-mit their artwork in one of 17 categories to a panel of six professional artists who judge the artwork and decide who is awarded gold keys, silver keys and honorable mention.

Gold keys are considered the very best in their category and are automatically considered for national level recognition.

Works receiving silver keys

are acknowledged for being standout pieces demonstrating exceptional ability, while honor-able mention recipients demon-strate great skill and potential.

Five gold key works across all categories and grades are selected as “Best of Show” and receive recognition and a medal as being an American Vision nominee.

Carteret County had six stu-dents garner gold key status, CHS’s Isaiah Walker and Shelby Wilson and West Carteret’s Curren Conner, Kha Huynh, Paige McInerny and Betsy Molina, with Betsy receiving an American Vision nominee for her photograph “Lost Boy.”

West Carteret’s Jonah Gillen won the only silver key, with 14 additional county students receiving honorable mention status for their work.
