Fall is a busy time for families on the go, but dinner can still be approachable and wholesome. One easy solution: transform a simple everyday side dish into a meal that will have families ask-ing for more.

These recipes, created in partnership with lifestyle expert Sandra Lee, feature Bob Evans’ collection of high-quality, like-scratch side dishes ranging from mashed potatoes to macaroni and cheese. The sides, found in the refrigerated section of most local grocery stores, are made with real ingredients and the per-fect blend of seasonings to make entrees taste just right.

Find more mealtime solu-tions that put side dishes at the forefront at Farm Fresh Ideas (bobevans.com/recipes), a club that provides recipes, a personal-ized recipe box and helpful tips in the kitchen.

Time saving tipsThese simple tricks from

Sandra Lee will cut minutes off your busywork, so you can get to the more important things like enjoying fall with your family.• Shave minutes off meals using tools in original ways: An ice cream scoop makes cookies and meatballs in a flash; an egg slicer quickly cuts mushrooms and berries.• To further speed up slow cooker prep time, keep favor-ite premixed seasoning packets, pre-sliced vegetables and jarred sauces on hand.• Desserts need not be made from scratch to have a home-spun feel. Dip packaged cookies in chocolate, embellish bakery cupcakes or create lollipops from candies.

BY LINDSEY BAHR

ASSOCIATED PRESS“Brooklyn” is a story for any-

one who has ever left home. It’s a story for those who’ve waffled in indecision, for those forming their identities and forging their own paths. It’s a story awash in muted pastel nostalgia about family and love and ambition and heritage and goodbyes. And it’s one of the loveliest films to grace cinemas this year.

There’s very little drama in this tale of a young woman, Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), who leaves her small Irish town and her mother and sister in the 1950s to find a life and career in New York.

That might make it feel to some like it’s not a full movie. We’ve been trained to expect horrible things to happen to the people we’re groomed to love and root

for, especially in immigrant tales. Here things are just normal.

Eilis is cripplingly homesick at first, but she’s not mistreated at work. She doesn’t suffer extreme hardships or experience any prej-udice for her background or gen-der. Her family doesn’t disown her. Her boyfriend doesn’t harbor dark secrets and the priest (Jim Broadbent) who gets her a job, a place to live and a spot at a night college is actually just there to help and support.

If anything, “Brooklyn,” based on Colm Tóibín’s 2009 novel, challenges the viewer to focus on the heart by not having any such dramatic crutches. Eilis just has to work and figure out what she wants.

We meet her first at a dead end job as a shop girl in the tiny town of Enniscorthy, but she’s already got a way out. Her sister

has made an appeal to an Irish priest living in New York who’s agreed to sponsor her trip across the Atlantic and set up a job and housing. Eilis knows it’s the only way to get her life started even though she’s heartbroken to leave.

Ms. Ronan, who has proven herself to be one of our most talented ingénues, makes Eilis a leading lady that we usually don’t get to see. She’s smart and ambi-tious, but still quiet and reflec-tive. She’s polite, but not a push-over. She’s good, but not prudish. She’s pretty, too, but in an under-stated way that makes most men overlook her. At a dance early on, one actually sneers in her direction.

Unlike the girls around her, Eilis is not obsessed or even the least bit concerned with finding a man. And yet one finds her

– a small, sweet, slightly doltish but well-intentioned Italian-New Yorker plumber Tony (Emory Cohen) who she slowly and believably falls for. In the midst of their courtship, though, a trag-edy brings her back to Ireland where she meets and begins a flirtation with the handsome Jim Farrell (Domhnall Gleeson). He is nice, intelligent, and also smit-ten with Eilis.

Ads might have you believe that “Brooklyn,” directed by John Crowley with a lean, witty script by Nick Hornby, is entirely about which guy she’ll choose. It is partly that, sure, but it’s not the full truth.

The conflict emerges not just because there’s suddenly a romantic prospect in Ireland. A fulfilling adult existence there seems suddenly possible. She starts helping a local office with

their bookkeeping, she goes to the uncrowded beaches with her friends, and she finds comfort in being home.

In this way, each man repre-sents a different life for Eilis. In Ireland, she has stability, comfort, history and space. In New York, she has uncharted possibilities and precious anonymity.

Neither path is wrong. That’s the brilliance of this universal story. Some will surely be dis-appointed with her choice, but that’s the thing – it’s her choice. Despite everyone’s good inten-tions, advice and expectations, it’s one that only she can make.

“Brooklyn,” a Fox Searchlight release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “a scene of sexual-ity and brief strong language.” Running time: 111 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

The U.S. Air Force Heritage Brass will play two free concerts.

They will be on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 10-11, at Cullman Performance Hall, in Tryon Palace’s North Carolina History Center in New Bern. Each performance will begin at 7 p.m.

The Heritage Brass is a pio-neering symphonic brass ensem-ble that brings the military tradi-tion of brass and percussion to the concert stage. This ensemble of professional airman-musicians presents a diverse repertoire fea-turing orchestral transcriptions, patriotic favorites, jazz stan-dards, new compositions and distinctive arrangements.

The U.S. Air Force Heritage Brass is a division of the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band, which was activated in 1941. These world-class musi-cians are stationed at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Hampton,

Va., and travel throughout the Carolinas, mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. The band plays over 300 events annually for the general public and in support of Airman morale and protocol events.

Under the leadership of Capt. Michael D. Hoerber, the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band remains at the forefront of communicating U.S. Air Force’s core values by preserving and enriching America’s military and musical heritage.

Doors open for both concerts at 6:15 p.m. and reservations are recommended. All seats are general admission and may be reserved by phone at 252-639-3525 or online at www.tryon-palace.org. All remaining seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

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

The Emerald Isle Garden Club and Emerald Isle will dedicate Highway 58 as a Blue Star Memorial Highway at a special ceremony at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11.

A memorial marker installed beside Highway 58 near the new Welcome Center at 8401 Emerald Drive will be unveiled during the ceremony. The public is invited to this free event.

The Blue Star Memorial program recognizes the ser-vice and sacrifices of mili-tary service members from all branches of the nation’s armed forces.

Originally started in 1945 by what is now the National Garden Clubs Inc., the program currently includes dedicated highways in all states. What exists today is an expanded program that honors all men and women who have served, are serving or will serve in the armed services of the United States.

Local and state garden clubs raise funds for the memorials and organize installation under the auspices of the national organization.

A special invitation is extended to the many active and retired military personnel

in the area. “The hope is to have all

armed forces represented with active, retired and future mili-tary having a special part in this program,” said Tula Satterfield, Emerald Isle Garden Club vice president and local coordinator for the event. “We especially encourage our retired veterans to attend wearing full military attire.”

Parking is available at the Welcome Center and along Highway 58. Light refresh-ments will be provided

For more information, call Ms. Satterfield at 252-354-1909.

“The objects and places which attract me are all around the periphery of our coastal towns and neighborhoods.”

Mr. Womble was also the 2015 Featured Artist for Beaufort Wine & Food Festival.

The North Carolina native resides in Morehead City and maintains a studio in Beaufort. For more information on his paintings, visit www.jimmy-craigwomble.com.

The 21st annual Veterans Day Parade is set to be bigger and bet-ter than years before.

It’s expected to draw almost 2,000 participants, according to County Veterans Council mem-bers.

The parade will start at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, on 17th and Arendell streets and contin-ue to Fifth Street, which is near the entrance to the N.C. Port of Morehead City.

This Veterans Day, which is on Wednesday, Nov. 11, the Carteret County Veterans Council joins the nation in special recognition of Vietnam veterans in commemora-tion of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, and the parade will pay tribute to more than 3 mil-lion service men and women who left their families to serve in the Vietnam War as well as the rest of the veterans who served the country.

“It’s about America,” said Veterans Services Officer Hank Gotard. “It’s about who we are, who we want to be and who we should be; to remember those who gave their all for their country.”

According to a parade press release from the Carteret County Veterans Council, the parade has been listed as the largest Veterans Day Parade in North Carolina.

This year the grand marshals for the parade are retired Col. Gotard and retired U.S. Marine Corps 1st Sgt. Roy Gittings.

Col. Gotard joined the Marine Corps in 1961, was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1963, and had the opportunity to serve the country nearly 29 years in the com-missioned ranks with more than 30 years in the U.S. Marine Corps.

In the earlier part of his career, he was an artillery officer and served in the Republic of Vietnam as a forward observer and artil-lery liaison officer and later as a 105 Howitzer battery commander, leading Hotel Battery 3rd Battalion, 11th Marines.

Upon returning from Vietnam, he attended flight training and was designated a naval aviator in July 1969 returning to the Corps to fly the all-weather attack jet, the A-6 Intruder.

He served in numerous A-6 squadrons, both in the U.S. and overseas.

He was a jet flight instructor in the Naval Air Training Command in Beeville, Texas, served over-seas for three years in Europe in the Mediterranean with NATO and the 6th Fleet, spent four one-year tours in the Orient and spent two tours at the U.S. Marine Corps

While at U.S. Marine Corps Headquarters, he served in numer-ous assignments including Branch Head, U.S. Marine Corps Aviation plans, programs, budget, congres-sional liaison and had the opportu-nity to serve as executive assistant chief of staff to the head of U.S. Marine Corps plans, policies and current operations during Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

During his Marine Corps career, he spent nine years at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in numer-ous and varied capacities.

In his last tour, he was the direc-tor of manpower for the 2nd Marine Air Wing.

For two years he commanded and led Marine Aircraft Group 14, at that time, the largest air-craft group in the Corps with eight

squadrons, 95 tactical and tactical support aircraft with over 3,000 Marines.

He earned over 16 decorations and personal awards to include four Legion of Merit medals, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and the Navy Commendation Medal with Combat “V.”

He retired as a colonel in 1992, and returned home to Carteret County in 1994.

He has served as the Carteret County Veterans Services Officer from December 1994, to present.

First Sgt. Gittings was born in San Antonio, Texas, on April 14, 1943.

He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps on Jan. 5, 1962, and attend-ed basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Calif.

He graduated from 2nd Infantry

Combat Training Battalion at Camp Pendleton in California.

His assignments from there included traveling with various infantry units around the globe to places such as Okinawa, Japan, China, South Korea, Guam, Hong Kong, Subic Bay, Philippines, as well as Camp H.M. Smith in Hawaii.

He transferred in 1966 to the Military Police Co., Marine Corps Base in Barstow, Calif. In 1967, he completed the U.S. Army Criminal Investigators course at Fort Gordon, Ga., and then trans-ferred to the Military Police Co. 3rd Marine Division in Vietnam.

Further training included the Bureau of Narcotics and danger-ous drugs course in Washington, D.C., frontline supervisor course in Honolulu, Hawaii, and the

U.S. Army Criminal Investigators Instructor training course in Fort McClellan, Ala.

He taught classes at Fort McClellan until 1980, when he was transferred to Okinawa, Japan, to serve on an international drug task force. He was later transferred to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. He was promoted to the rank of first sergeant in the Light Anti-Aircraft Missile Battalion and Forward Area Air Defense Command until he retired from the Marine Corps in 1984.

During his military career, he was awarded five Good Conduct medals, a Combat Action Ribbon and a Commanding General’s Certificate of Commendation, along with several other awards.

Once retired from the Marine Corps, he worked for Carteret

According to the Veterans Services Office, there will be color guards and military equipment from the Navy, Marines, Army, National Guard, Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary represented, and from numerous Eastern North Carolina veterans’ organizations and their auxiliaries.

Korean War Veterans Association, the Merchant Marines, Women Veterans of Coastal N.C., Mariners from Snug Harbor on Nelson Bay and several Vietnam veterans showing their colors.

Parade organizers are inviting all women veterans who live in coastal North Carolina, who are active duty or served in the past, to join on a red double-decker bus that will be in the parade.

Those who are interested in rid-ing the bus can call the Veterans Services Office at 252-728-8440.

In honor of Veterans Day, Carteret Community Theatre plans to honor military mem-bers with a tribute Veterans Day concert.

The concert starts at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, with perfor-mances by Marine Corps Lt. Col. Mike Corrado and Bryan Mayer, country music performer.

Tickets for the concert are $15 for active duty military mem-bers, children and dependents, and $20 for the general public. Veterans with a military ID will be admitted to the concert for free. Tickets can be purchased online at www.carteretcommu-nitytheatre.org or at the door the night of the concert.

Lt. Col. Corrado believes that songwriting comes from writ-ing from the heart and writing about what he knows, and that is exactly what he does.

According to his website, some have referred to his style and genre as new country, pop, rock and singer/songwriter, but Lt. Col. Corrado simply calls it “American Music.”

Not only is Lt. Col. Corrado a singer and songwriter, but he is also an active duty Marine. Some of his biggest songs are stories filled with emotions ser-vice members and their families currently face while the coun-try has been at war for over a decade.

In addition to some of his fun, feel-good tunes, Lt. Col. Corrado

Community theater to offer concert in honor of holiday

has crafted songs like “Still in the Fight,” which the challeng-es of recovery faced by many wounded warriors and their grace and resilience throughout the recovery process.

In “Stand,” Lt. Col. Corrado pays tribute service men and women, as well as the families who stand behind them. In “On My Watch Tonight,” he tells the story of a Marine’s journey from boot camp to the front lines, which became the anthem for service men and women around the world.

These songs and others have received national attention and featured on Great American Country (GAC), Country Music Television (CMT), and CMT Pure, The Nashville Network, Armed Forces Network, AMC All Star Salute to the Troops

and more.He has shared the stage with

national acts from all genres including Toby Keith, LL Cool J., Bon Jovi, the Black Eyed Peas, John Mayer, Edwin McCain, Darryl Worley, Travis Tritt, Aaron Tippin and many more.

With his towering height and powerful voice, Mr. Mayer is making a big impact on the country music scene.

Mr. Mayer began his jour-ney in music when he was 13 years old. He was the son of a U.S. Marine Corps colonel and a Navy nurse. While stationed in Quantico, Va., Mr. Mayer was tapped by his middle school music teacher to play the upright bass in the school band in the seventh grade.

Although he enjoyed playing

the bass, the lure of the front man aspect and realizing he could sing lead him to pick up the guitar.

After some impromptu per-formances at keg parties at his college house at East Carolina University, Mr. Mayer ended up on the Carolina sands of Oak Island. It was there he started crafting his style and gutting it out in any bar, restaurant or party that would hire him.

In 2010, Mr. Mayer ended up with the opportunity to open for CMA nominated country artists, Love & Theft. It wasn’t long after that show that country radio powerhouse 95.1 WRNS took notice of Mr. Mayer’s talent and began to use him as a frequent opener at concerts for national country headliners like Trace Adkins, Joe Nichols, Craig Morgan, Eli Young Band, The Band Perry, Thompson, Square and dozens more.

In the meantime, and while performing, Mr. Mayer made an attempt to write his first county song, an autobiographic ballad called, “This is Me.” It ended up being No. 127 on the Mediabase Country charts in June 2013, giving Mr. Mayer his first Top 200 country song.

Veterans Day is on Nov. 11, and the county is preparing for the day with many activities to honor those who served the country.

An act approved May 13, 1938, made Nov. 11 in each year a legal holiday – a day to be dedi-cated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated

and known as “Armistice Day,” marking the end of World War I, according to www.va.gov.

After World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the nation’s history; the 83rd Congress, at the urging

of the veterans service organiza-tions, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “armistice” and inserting in its place the word “veterans.”

With the approval of this leg-islation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

Here’s a look at Carteret County events:

On Saturday, Nov. 7, Morehead City will host the 21st annual Veterans Day Parade. The parade will start at 11 a.m. on 17th and Arendell streets and continue to Fifth Street, which is near the entrance to the N.C. Port of Morehead City.

Immediately following the parade, First Presbyterian Church will be honoring veterans with its annual Veterans Day Picnic on the church lawn. Veterans showing their military ID will be provided with a free barbecue meal, while the entire community is invited to honor and join them by purchasing a meal for $6 each.

As well as the parade on Saturday, Nov. 7, Carteret Community Theatre will host a tribute concert with performances by Lt. Col. Mike Corrado and Bryan Mayer. The concert starts at 8 p.m., and tickets for the concert are $15 for active duty military members, children and dependents, and $20 for the general public.

Veterans and active duty mili-tary members with a valid military ID will be admitted to the concert for free. Tickets can be purchased online at www.carteretcommunity-theatre.org or at the door the night of the concert.

The Morehead City Historical Preservation Society will sponsor two ceremonies to honor veterans on Nov. 11 in Bayview Cemetery in Morehead City.

A Day of Remembrance ser-vice will be held at 10:30 a.m. at the gravesites of three British sailors buried in the cemetery who died defending the county coast-line from German U-boats during World War II.

At the end of that service, the group will walk across 20th Street to the Veterans Memorial to honor American veterans at 11 a.m.

As for the British sailors, they were killed when their vessel, the San Delfino, an oil tanker, was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat offshore on April 9, 1942, according to dates on the sailors’ graves and preservation member Rodney Kemp.

The names of the soldiers are John L. Fisher, sailor Royal Navy, age 25; Maldwyn Jones, gunner, Royal Artillery, age 22; and unknown sailor, Royal Navy

(speculated to be R. Wyatt).Great Clips salons across the

nation – including Morehead City and Cape Carteret Great Clips – are showing appreciation for veterans by giving all custom-ers a way to thank those who have served or are serving in the U.S. military.

On Veterans Day, all custom-ers who get a haircut at any Great Clips salon will get a card they can give for a free hair cut as a “thank you” to an active, inactive or retired military member of any branch, including the National Guard. The limit is one card per customer, while supplies last.

The cards can be redeemed for a free haircut from Thursday, Nov. 12, to Thursday, Dec. 31, at any U.S. Great Clips salon with proof of military service.

From 5 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, Golden Corral will thank thousands of active duty and retired U.S. military personnel for their service with a free dinner buffet and beverage, while also raising dona-tions for the Disabled American Veterans.

A tradition started 14 years ago to celebrate our nation’s heroes, Golden Corral’s Military Appreciation Night has served more than 4.4 million compli-mentary meals to military per-sonnel and generated more than $10.2 million in contributions to support community-based ser-vice initiatives for veterans.

“The entire Golden Corral system is very passionate about supporting our military service men and women, and we believe thanking them with a free din-ner buffet is one way to show our immense appreciation for their service to our country,” said Lance Trenary, president and

chief executive officer of Golden Corral. “We are very honored to have raised more than $10.2 mil-lion for the DAV over the years and look forward to adding to that total again this year.”

Golden Corral has enlisted Gary Sinise, actor and humani-tarian, and Collective Soul, the platinum award-winning band, to record public service announce-ments for Military Appreciation Night. Mr. Sinise and Collective Soul are all actively involved in supporting active duty and retired military personnel through a vari-ety of organizations and initia-tives including tours to military installations overseas.

“This is the 11th year I’ve had the pleasure to partner with Golden Corral in supporting our troops, past and present, through Military Appreciation Night,” said Mr. Sinise. “The number of meals given away and amount of money donated in the past 14 years really distinguishes Golden Corral’s commitment to the mili-tary. I’m proud and happy to help raise awareness for Golden Corral Military Appreciation Night.”

At 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, a special service of remembrance honoring veterans of the Vietnam War will be held at St. Peter’s United Methodist Church.

During the worship service, the veterans will be recognized for their valiant and courageous service to the nation and to the cause of freedom.

Immediately following the service, everyone is invited to enjoy a time of fellowship over ice cream and apple pie.

St. Peter’s Church is at 111 Hodges St. in Morehead City. More information can be found at www.stpetersumc.com.

St. Egbert Catholic School has operated a booth at the N.C. Seafood Festival for 29 years. Due to the possibility of the hurricane, they made the difficult decision not to set up their Cajun shrimp-in-a-pita booth this year.

Although they sold lemon-ade, the St. Egbert Home and School Association lost thou-sands of fundraising dollars that the school depends upon.

In order to recoup this loss, they are holding a shrimp lunch and dinner fundraiser.

The “ticket only” fundraiser will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22, and 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23, in Moeslein Hall at St. Egbert Catholic Church.

Tickets for the fundraiser are now on sale.

They should be purchased in advance either at the school during regular school hours and will also be available at The Ruddy Duck Tavern in Morehead City. There will be a limited number of tickets available for purchase at the door.

Tickets are $12 per plate.

Take-out orders will also be available. The ticket price includes a serving of shrimp and grits made with locally caught shrimp from Mr. Big Seafood.

Fabian Botta of The Ruddy Duck Tavern and Tony Garnett from the Coral Bay Club in Atlantic Beach, who both have children attending St. Egbert Catholic School, have offered to prepare the shrimp and grits meal.

Complimentary lemonade, sweet and unsweet tea and a limited selection of soft drinks will be provided for dine-in patrons only. A variety of des-serts will be offered at an addi-tional fee to support the St. Egbert Catholic Church Youth Group.

In addition, a limited supply of 5.5-pound bags of frozen shrimp will be available for purchase for $55, and bottles of secret-recipe Cajun Spices will also be sold for $7 per bottle.

For more information about the fundraiser, call 252-726-3418 between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Q. My husband and I found a very odd crab in our net. We’d never seen a crab with such claws, and it seemed to hold them in front of its face as if hiding. The oversized front claws met in the middle like two jigsaw pieces and interlocked. The crab had very pretty markings. We let it go.

A. The oversized, jigsaw con-figuration of the claws is a dead giveaway for a little known, but fairly common crab called a shame-faced crab (Calappa granu-lata). A member of the box crab variety, the common shame-faced is a shallow-water crab most often seen off southern beaches.

The shell of this attractive, yet odd-shaped crustacean is very compact and incredibly hard. The claws form a perfect jigsaw to cover the crab’s entire face, hence its coquettish name. The “face” is actually the breathing apparatus and mouthparts, and is the most vulnerable part of a crab’s body. The claws form an impenetrable

barrier to this area.There are two other parts of a

crab’s body that are tasty morsels for predators – the eyes and legs. For the shame-faced crab, deep grooves in the body allow both the eyes and legs to disappear, making them completely in accessible.

The claws are incredibly pow-erful. If you get pinched by one, you may have to resort to snapping off the entire claw.

Their favorite foods are mol-lusks, and the crab’s specially formed forceps are well adapted to picking apart snails and strong enough to crack their shells.

Being an ambush hunter, the crab is inactive most of time, bury-ing itself in sandy bottoms with only its eyes, antennae and the upper parts of its shell showing. Its color pattern of rose or yellowish crimson is excellent camouflage, and its four pairs of walking legs buried under the sand are rath-er slim because they are seldom used.

Like most crabs, the shame-faced holds its claws out front, but the top of each claw has a large flare.

When seen closely, the left claw comes to a fine point and has sharp, serrated teeth. Once it grabs hold of something there’s no escaping. The right claw is power-

ful as well, but it’s not the pincher itself that’s truly amazing, but the nodules one can see on the wrist.

The big claws are also used for digging. Most crabs use their back legs to burrow backwards into the sand, but the shame-faced uses those huge claws like bulldozers, excavating the sand forward so

the crab sinks downward until it’s completely covered by sediment.

Discover more facts about North Carolina’s aquatic environ-ments and inhabitants by visit-ing the aquariums at Pine Knoll Shores, on Roanoke Island, at Fort Fisher or Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head.

This close-up photo illustrates how the massive claws of the shame faced crab fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The crab uses the claws to excavate sand forward so the crab can sink downward until it is completely covered by sediment for ambush hunting or escaping predators. (Contributed photo)

Pi Master chapter of the international sorority Beta Sigma Phi met on Oct. 12 in the home of Jan Allaire of Morehead City to dis-cuss their plans for the Belk Charity Day Sale on Saturday, Nov. 7.

The chapter is selling tick-ets for the Belk Charity Day Sale.

Each ticket costs $5 to participate in the sale.

The $5 goes to the desig-nated charity.

The buyer also gets $5 off their first purchase.

All proceeds raised during the event will go to Family Practice of Carteret, a non-profit Christian ministry.

Family Promise looks after homeless women, children and families housed at coun-ty host churches at night on a one-week rotating basis.

The day center, which is at 3502 Elm St. in Morehead City, helps the clients through tutoring, assistance in find-ing jobs and counseling.

The center also provides a place for families to wash clothes and clean up.

During the meeting, Ms. Allaire and her co-hostess Ethel Jewett also presented a program on how to give a stress-free dinner and served a lunch of pork loin, mashed potatoes, cooked carrots, chutney, baked apples and apple pie with ice cream.

The Friends of Western Carteret Library will hold an evening benefit reception to commence fundraising for the building of a new conference and meeting facility to adjoin the library.

The reception will take place from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at The Boat House, 202 Emerald Isle Drive Emerald Isle.

The tax-deductible tickets

are $100 per person or $150 per couple.

This project is in response to the growing needs of the library community, facilitating meetings, workshops and con-ferences, while bringing more youth and adult programs to the western part of Carteret County.

“I can say with confidence that this addition would be a win-win-win situation,” said

Maripat Wright, chairman of Carteret County Library Board of Trustees.

“A win for the communi-ties in this end of the county, a win for Carteret Community College and a win for the library and its programs,” she continued.

The preliminary estimate of the expansion is $250,000.

The Friends plan to raise at least $100,000, hoping

that county funds will add to the remainder. The Benefit Reception will kick off this project with beverages, heavy hors d’oeuvres, music and a silent auction.

Work from several local art-ists will also be available for sale during the reception.

Part of the proceeds will benefit the expansion project.

Ticketholders may pre-view the art from 5 to 8 p.m.

Friday, Nov. 6. Tax-deduction contributions

to the building fund will also be accepted at the reception, or may be sent to the Friends’ P.O. Box 5090, Emerald Isle, N.C. 28594.

Family Promise

BY MEGAN SOULT

NEWS-TIMESMorehead City author Jack

Dudley’s book, Southern Outer Banks: Cape Lookout Seashore, a book that has been in the making for over 20 years, has finally hit the stands.

Mr. Dudley is known for his his-torical books on different commu-nities in Eastern North Carolina. Much like those books, Southern Outer Banks: Cape Lookout Seashore depicts the history of the area with historical photographs

and textual context. History and waterfowling were

always fascinating to Mr. Dudley, and the area of Portsmouth on Core Banks, discussed in detail in the book, and its rich water-fowl history intrigued him from an early age.

“I grew up in Swansboro and was always hearing local duck and goose hunters talk about Portsmouth, as if it were a sacred hunting ground,” Mr. Dudley said during an email interview. “One old-timer reveled about Henry

Pigott, and another had fond memories of Tom Bragg, both Portsmouth hunting guides during the early and decades of the 1900s. Another sportsman described Portsmouth as an old Western town. So I became intrigued with the village and its inhabitants, long before seeing any pictures or set-ting foot on the island.”

As the years went by, Mr. Dudley’s interests expanded to include folk art, collecting nautical artifacts, woodworking tools, old quilts, decoys and photography.

The interest in photography eventually led him to the inspi-ration of writing a book about Portsmouth.

He browsed through the Cape Lookout National Seashore Archives and found a collection of vintage photographs and other materials.

“I was amazed that people who had lived in Portsmouth – such a remote and isolated area – were relatively well-to-do and that so

The 26th annual Miss La Musique Pageant will be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at the West Carteret High School auditorium in Morehead City.

La Musique Club of Carteret County sponsors the pageant. Admission is $5 per person and tickets are available at the door or from contestants.

Twenty-eight contestants, from 3 years old to high school age, will compete in five age groups.

Contestants will be judged in talent, evening gown and on-stage interview.

In addition to the contes-tants, the out-going queens

many photographs and artifacts existed, especially since the villag-ers were so vulnerable to storms,” Mr. Dudley said. “At the time, a few Portsmouth natives were still living on the mainland, and they were most informative, reveling about their days on Portsmouth.”

Unfortunately for Mr. Dudley’s project, a pictorial history book on Portsmouth didn’t have a large enough audience to publish the book, so the project was put on the back burner.

Over the years Mr. Dudley worked on other projects, but pho-tos of Portsmouth continually pre-sented themselves. Then one day, a man by the name of Jack Geiger called Mr. Dudley, which would eventually continue the process of The Southern Outer Banks: Cape Lookout Seashore.

“About seven or eight years ago, a ‘New Jerseyite’ named Jack Geiger called me, stating that he had heard about me through a Down East connection and that his deceased father as a member of a gun club on Core Banks,” Mr. Dudley said. “During the 1930s he and his father had hunted at the club. Mr. Geiger said that he had photographs and club records if I were interested in seeing them. I

sent him a complimentary copy of Carteret Waterfowl Heritage, and he returned the favor with a trove of material pertaining to the Core Banks Gun and Rod Club.”

During this time, Mr. Dudley continued to visit the North Carolina archives and the Outer Banks History Center. That is when the idea for The Southern Outer Banks: Cape Lookout Seashore came to him.

“I had to throw in the sub-title Cape Lookout Seashore since the Southern Outer Banks also encompasses Ocracoke Island,” Mr. Dudley said.

The book deals with the history of the Southern Outer Banks until the 1970s. Mr. Dudley said his favorite chapter in the book is the Core Banks because of all of the material on the hunting club.

“The hunting club pictures are few and far between,” Mr. Dudley said. “The more rare they are, the better they are.”

Now that his dream of a book on Portsmouth is complete, Mr. Dudley already has another book topic in mind. The title for the next book is Harkers Island: A Good Place to Live!

Southern Outer Banks: Cape Lookout Seashore is $45 and can be bought in local bookstores and museums.

Young ladies to compete in annual La Musique Pageant

of 2014 will provide special entertainment.

Rachel Mundine, of Newport, will be the director

of the pageant as well as its emcee.

For more information, call 252-223-4538.
