BY CHUCK WATERSCONTRIBUTOR
Don’t just toss your books in a locker and hit the beach now that school is out. Expand your horizons all season long with the Carteret County pub-lic libraries’ summer reading program 2019.
The annual summer read-ing program offers a variety of special events, activities and programs to encourage sum-mertime reading at all age lev-els.
Participants may vie for keen prizes by keeping weekly reading logs and turning them in at the library.
Books, magazines, graph-ic novels, eBooks and audio books all qualify for read-ing time. Registration begins Monday.
The Collaborative Summer Library Program is a grass-roots consortium of states working together to provide public libraries with high-qual-ity summer reading program materials for children, teens and adults at the lowest cost possible.
The program began in 1987 when 10 Minnesota regional library systems developed a summer library program for children.
Last year’s CSLP theme was “Libraries Rock!” and fes-tivities were highlighted by a rousing concert by the Marine Corps 2nd Air Wing Band at the library in Beaufort.
This year, the theme is “A Universe of Stories,” and the sky’s the limit for your reading adventures.
“We always look forward to the Summer Reading Program. Kids enjoy filling out the logs and the chance to win prizes,” Carteret County Public Library Director Susan Simpson said. “School may be out, but that’s no reason to take a vacation from learning. And there are activities for adults, too, so the summer reading program truly offers something that entire families can enjoy.”
Following are highlights of various summer reading pro-gram activities for the county’s public libraries.
Bogue Banks Public LibraryThanks to the generous
support of the Friends of the
Bogue Banks Public Library, the library is offering “space adventures” during storytime programs Thursdays at 10 a.m. beginning June 20 and con-tinuing through Aug. 29 at the branch in Pine Knoll Shores. Storytime topics include the sun, the moon, the stars and more.
The Bogue Banks Public Library is located at 320 Salter Path Road, Suite W., Pine Knoll Shores. For more information, call 252-247-4660.
Carteret County Public Library
The library in Beaufort launched its summer reading program with an extravaganza in the library parking lot. The public used personal drones for an aerial display of stunts and maneuvers.
Hi-resolution photos taken by the drones could be viewed on mobile phones in real time.
Pine Knoll Shores Mayor Ken Jones and Beaufort Mayor Rett Newton were on hand to participate in the “dronefest,” capped off by a communal viewing of the rising full June “strawberry” moon.
Children will “blast off” with storytime programs about planets, stars, rockets, aliens and astronauts. Activities and crafts will include training to be an astronaut, interpreting stories through movement, creating edible phases of the moon and building and testing rockets.
Storytime for Toddlers, ages 2-4, is at 10 a.m. every Friday and for Pre-K, ages 3-5, is at 10 a.m. each Wednesday.
Elementary readers ages 6 to 12 will explore “all things space” this summer at 10:30 a.m. every Thursday. Activities begin June 20 with “Shoot for the Moon,” featuring a recap of the Apollo moon landings by Shoshana Weider, and con-cludes will the “Big Beyond Celebration!” Aug. 1.
In between, experience “Living on the Moon” (June 27), “Astronaut Fun” (July 11), “Trekking Across the Universe” (July 18) and “My Journey to the Stars” (July 25). Activities will include costume creation, group games, space-related arts and crafts projects, sci-ence and engineering experi-ments and more.
Book passage now: explore ‘A Universe of Stories’
Young adults ages 12 to 18 will find a variety of programs and activities tailored just for them, including a “Paint the Night” workshop presented by Carolyn Temple of Crystal Coast Photography at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 20, a “Solar Power, Tesla Coil and Robotics Workshop” at 6 p.m. Monday, June 24 and “Virtual Reality and Merge Cubes” interaction at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 25.
Bring your own gizmo and extend virtual learning beyond the limitations of the small screen as you interact and play with your individual subject(s) of study.
Teens may also compete for cash prizes by entering the video challenge. Participants will create their own 60-sec-ond video promoting libraries and reading, with special focus on personal interpretation of the “A Universe of Stories” theme.
This special competition is presented in partnership with the Friends of the Carteret County Public Library.
Adults can get on board the summer reading program
express by taking a subliminal trip “From the Moon to Mars” Tuesday, July 16 at 8 p.m.
The conductor for this expe-dition is NASA solar system ambassador Lisa Pelletier-Harman, who will recount the history of America’s “Race to the Moon” and speculate on where NASA may be heading next.
Since this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Ms. Pelletier-Harman’s one-hour program promises to be especially timely. The program is hosted by the Crystal Coast Stargazers Astronomy Club.
The main branch wraps up with a Science Cafe Closing Party Saturday, Aug. 3 at 3 p.m. at the library.
Program participants may take part in casual discussions, listen to scientists, community members and other special guests as they review what they’ve learned about space during the program. Summer reading program awards will be presented, video contest winners announced and other fun surprises and treats are on
tap, too. For more information on all
summer reading program events, visit the library’s web-site, carteret.cpclib.org, find them on Facebook, call 252-728-2050 or stop by the library at 1702 Live Oak St., Beaufort.

BY LINDSEY BAHRASSOCIATED PRESS
The good news is “Dark Phoenix ” is neither an apoc-alypse nor is it “X-Men: Apocalypse,” but this latest installment is not exactly a solid step forward or a satisfying end-ing for anyone.
It’s supposed to be the cul-mination of 20 years of X-Men movies, but it feels more like a rushed and inconsequential spi-noff than something that we’ve been building toward for two decades.
Perhaps that’s because we’ve barely gotten to know this version of Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), whose transformation into the all-powerful Phoenix is the thing that divides the X-Men into a tiny civil war.
A brief flashback to 1975 shows a young Jean’s defining trauma, when the telekinesis she can’t yet control results in a horrific car crash and her becom-ing an orphan. She’s taken in by Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) who offers her help and guid-ance and tells her that she can decide to use her powers for good, which is not exactly top of mind for her when, 17 years later, she absorbs a deadly cos-mic energy field.
The main action is set in 1992, a decade after the events in “Apocalypse” and 30 years after the events in “X-Men: First Class,” and you might find your-self wondering: just how old are all of these mutants, and what is their skin care regime?
If there is a reason this had to be set in 1992, the movie certainly doesn’t give you any explanation, nor does it really attempt to capture the look of the early 90s at all in costume or production design.
But, it’s 1992. The title card says so, and Charles is riding high on a tide of public good-will.
The X-Men are finally being regarded as heroes, and he’s become the public face of the operation, with a direct line to the President of the United States and everything.
Yet he’s getting a little cavalier with his people, sending them off on an impossible rescue mis-sion to space that will render Jean into the Dark Phoenix. Even his longtime allies like Raven/Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and Hank/Beast (Nicholas Hoult) are starting to ques-tion his motives. This, frankly, is the more interesting thread. However, the film, written and directed by Simon Kinberg, instead uses Jean/Phoenix — who, again, we don’t know very well — as the embodiment of all of his ambition and failings.
Essentially, Jean discovers that Charles has been hiding some information from her about her childhood and she gets angry (dangerously so) and starts racking up a body count.
Even Magneto (Michael Fassbender), who is living in what looks like a dystopian sleepaway camp, doesn’t want any part of it, and she becomes an outcast. So, when an intense
Review: X-Men struggle to end in ‘Dark Phoenix’
alien with nefarious plans and sky-high stilettos, Vuk (Jessica Chastain), tells her that she’s just misunderstood and to fol-low her, Jean is all ears.
It’s a lot of fussy plot with not much heart behind it, and while Ms. Turner is excellent at look-ing like a woman in distress, she needs a character to back up all that conflict and make us care. Even a pretty shocking death barely registers emotionally. It probably also doesn’t help that this is coming on the heels of “Avengers: Endgame.”
As with the other X-Men mov-ies featuring this younger cast, the best parts are usually when Magneto and Charles are in the same scene, which we do get a bit of here in a pretty fun action sequence on a train which intro-duced me to the concept of “dreadlock fighting.”
All in all though, “Dark Phoenix” is a whiff. The most suspenseful thing that happened had nothing to do with the movie at all: the theater’s fire alarm went off during the epic climax during a review screening.
“Dark Phoenix,” a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense sequences of sci-fi vio-lence and action including some gunplay, disturbing images, and brief strong language.” Running time: 113 minutes. Two stars out of four.

A former Morehead City res-ident has written a book that can help domestic violence survivors through the healing process.
Katrina Dudley Stokes is a licensed practical nurse, a sur-vivor of domestic violence and an advocate against domestic violence and intimate partner violence.
These things compelled her to write her book, Take Back Your Power, which was released in March 2018, according to a release.
According to Ms. Stokes, the book is about domestic vio-lence, the warning signs, the cause and effects, why people stay in unhealthy relationships, her experiences with domestic violence and letting victims know there is help available for them.
The book is available on Amazon and the eBook is available on iTunes, Kobo and Barnes & Noble.

While the traditional school year has ended for teachers and students across the state, it is never too early for educators to think of exciting ways to engage their students next year.
The N.C. Aquariums team wants to help by making it easier to access marine education and connect young people to nature and the ocean.
Applications are now avail-able for the 2019-20 Aquarium Scholars grant program. Aquarium Scholars offers fund-ing for Title 1 schools to help remove barriers that may hinder educational opportunities with the aquariums.
The organization will award more than $115,000 in mini-grants to help with trip costs, transportation fees and other needs.
More than 20,000 students from 56 counties have ben-efited from nearly $166,700 in grants since the inception of Aquarium Scholars in 2018.
Grants have funded nearly 300 field trips to the state’s three aquariums (Fort Fisher, Pine Knoll Shores and Roanoke Island) and Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head.
In addition, aquarium edu-cators have presented more than 120 live animal programs in school classrooms across the state.
“Our students learned how important research is in the area
of marine biology and how much of this research affects other areas of our lives,” said a 10th grade teacher from Davidson County High School in a press release from the Aquarium Scholars. “The program brought the aquarium to our students and many may never have the opportunity to visit the aquar-ium or even travel outside of Davidson County.”
Teachers receiving the grants may choose from a robust array of programs, uniquely designed for grade level and topic.
Each include a mix of sci-ence, technology, engineering and math activities, hands-on programs and field experiences at the aquariums and Jennette’s Pier. Students can dissect squid, explore remote-operated vehi-cles and more.
Aquarium Scholars is a part-nership between the aquariums, North Carolina public schools and the nonprofit N.C. Aquarium Society, through which private donors help fund access to STEM-based aquarium educa-tion programs for low-income students, with little or no cost to the schools or students.
“It is so important to make the aquariums’ educational opportu-nities accessible to children from all backgrounds,” Susi Hamilton, secretary of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, said in the press release. “That’s
exactly what the Aquarium Society and aquariums are doing together through this amazing program. I’m thrilled to see how successful it has already become in just a short time.”
The grants offer opportuni-ties and experiences some stu-dents might not otherwise have. According to one survey conduct-ed by a state school, less than 60% of students have ever been to the ocean and less than 30% know the name of the ocean off the North Carolina coast.
To ensure the maximum ben-efit of the program, the William and Ida Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at N.C. State University is working with the aquariums to evaluate the program and develop standard measurements for its success.
Group visits, program par-ticipation and grant awards are carefully tracked. The evaluation of this data was compiled into an annual report.
“We could not do what we do without the generous sup-port of our partners and donors,” said Jay Barnes, president of the society.
Applications for the 2019-20 Aquarium Scholars grants may be submitted through Friday, Sept. 6. For more information or to make a contribution in support of Aquarium Scholars, call 800-832-3474 or visit ncaquariums.com/aquarium-scholars.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

American Legion Morehead City Post 46 will sponsor an awareness walk for veterans at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 22 at Garner Park in Pine Knoll Shores.
The purpose of this event is to raise public awareness of important issues facing veter-ans and their families.
In 2015, the American Legion National Commander instituted the awareness walk to highlight the need for continued support for the nation’s veterans.
Since then, thousands of vet-erans, their family members and concerned citizens have partici-pated and gained awareness of issues facing veterans.
In addition, they have become more involved in helping veter-ans through local programs and by contacting their congressio-nal representatives and asking for their support on bills that help veterans.
According to the American Legion Department of North Carolina January 2017 issue of “The Legion Bulletin,” an estimated 20 veterans a day
commit suicide. “Traumatic brain inju-
ries have become a signature wound of the Global War on Terrorism,” the issue reads. “Twenty percent of the men and women who served in Iraq or Afghanistan are believed to experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We believe in a strong VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) health care system, one that is worth pre-serving. We owe it to those who served our country to never forget the sacrifice and devo-tion. We are walking for those who have marched for freedom. Many are no longer able to do so for themselves,” the issue continued.
Who will be thereThis year, the Veterans
Coalition of the Crystal Coast will attend the walk. The VCCC is a coalition of veteran organi-zations, community service pro-viders and personnel dedicated to the prevention of veteran suicide.
VA health care representa-tives will be on site to answer questions about local resourc-es.
A VA district service officer and a local county veteran ser-vice officer will be available to answer general questions con-cerning claims for benefits and to provide VA resource guides and information to pair a vet-eran with the correct resource provider.
The walk will also have coun-selors from the Jacksonville VA Vet Center. The Department of Veterans Affairs Vet Centers across the country provide a broad range of counseling, out-reach and referral services to combat veterans and their fami-lies. Vet centers guide veter-ans and their families through adjustments in lifestyle that can occur after a veteran returns from combat.
Services for a veteran may include individual and group counseling in areas such as post-traumatic stress disorder, alcohol and drug assessment
and suicide prevention refer-rals. All services are free of cost and are strictly confidential.
Veteran suicide prevention information and educational material will be available.
As well as services for veter-ans, Operation Gratitude volun-teers will be on site. Operation Gratitude delivers packages for deployed troops, military fami-lies, veterans, wounded heroes and caregivers, first responders and recruit graduates nation-wide.
We Honor Veterans, a pro-gram of the national Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the VA, will be on site to provide informa-tion about the work they do for veterans and veterans families to enroll in VA benefits, provide special ceremonies, replace lost medals and awards and receive extra support from other veter-ans who volunteer their time to by listening and/or sharing their own story.
Gold Star mother Maria Myers, who is raising funds for
a local memorial monument to honor Gold Star families, will also be in attendance.
The purpose of the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument is to honor Gold Star families, pre-serve the memory of the fallen and stand as a stark reminder that freedom is not free.
A representative from CapTel N.C., Division of Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, will be available to answer ques-tions about program for free phones and services and give information on who qualifies.
Walk informationThe opening ceremony of the
awareness walk will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will include com-ments from the post command-er, U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. John Sotirkys and Pine Knoll Shores Mayor Ken Jones.
