GUILD ACTIVITIES
BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES
The Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild is dedicated to the preservation of the waterfowl carving heritage that runs deep throughout the Core Sound area, and the first weekend in December, decoy lovers from all over travel to Hakers Island for the Core Sound Decoy Festival.
It is held in conjunction with Waterfowl Weekend, which takes place Friday-Sunday, Nov. 30 through Dec. 2 at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center.
The festival is in its 31st year, and is held Saturday and Sunday.
The festival has many attractions, including antique decoy exhibits, retriev-er demonstrations, competitions like duck calling and loon calling, head whit-tling and a live and silent auction.
Harkers Island Elementary School staff and volunteers offer food, and different vendors will supply shopping opportuni-ties.
During the festival, there will be sever-al decoy competitions, including a head whittling contest, which will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 1-2.
A juniper band saw decoy head blank will be provided to each contestant. This year the blank will be a surf scoter head.
Carvers may use any hand tool, such as a wood rasp, knife, sandpaper or gouge; however, no power tools will be allowed.
Carvers must provide their own tools. Only the blank head will be provided by
the guild. Carvers will have one hour to complete their head carving.
First, second, third and honorable mention ribbons will be awarded. The first-place winner will also receive a plaque.
There is also a junior head whittling contest at the same time open to chil-dren between 7 and 15 years of age.
The blank for the junior head whit-tling contest will be a small sandpiper.
The same rules apply as the adult contest. No power tools are allowed, no tools will be provided and par-ticipants will have one hour to com-plete their carving. Ribbons will be awarded.
Sunday is also the festival’s Youth Day, where all visitors under the age of 18 are admitted for free.
Upon entry, each child will receive their ticket for the afternoon drawing and a chance to receive a variety of door prizes.
During Youth Day, children will also be able to participate in Kids Decoy Painting and try their hand at the archery experience under the guid-ance of experienced archers.
There will also be a N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission nature exhibit, which features a walk-through wildlife experience that gives a close-up look at a variety of nature items education-al and attractive to youth and adults.
Finally, children can participate in the Youth Loon Calling Contest.
For more information about the decoy festival, visit decoyguild.com or “like” the guild on Facebook.

The Core Sound Museum and Heritage Center will repeat its own history by cel-ebrating Waterfowl Weekend in a build-ing that’s “back to the frames and con-crete,” thanks to Hurricane Florence.
“Waterfowl Weekend 2018 will be yet another testament to our determination to hold our community together and rebuild stronger than ever,” museum organizers said in a release.
The event starts Friday, Nov. 30 with the Friday Night Preview Party and continues Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1-2 at the museum.
The event is held in conjunction with the Core Sound Decoy Festival, which is Saturday and Sunday at Harkers Island
Elementary School.Shuttles will run all day both days to
and from the decoy festival at Harkers Island Elementary School to the muse-um.
When Hurricane Florence rolled through the county in September, the museum was hit hard. As of presstime the facility is still closed to the public.
According to officials, it has taken seven weeks for the building to be dried, cleaned and prepared for rebuilding.
The entire building had to be emp-tied, with 75 percent of the sheetrock removed and 90 percent of the flooring pulled out. Reconstruction is set to start in January.

Have a Netflix night

BY MEGAN LEWISTWM
Netflix was just a little bit naughty, but “in a nice way” this year. They held off releasing one of their best productions until the year was almost over with “The Christmas Chronicles.”
The star power is there with Kurt Russell as Santa and Kimberly Williams-Paisley as the two main characters’ mom, Claire. Also, a few cameos should delight the older audience.
The magic is there with all the power of modern effects to back it up.
The writing is there as well, with comedy, action and sentiment.
Of course, it loses its way a couple times in the middle, and Judah Lewis, who plays Teddy, doesn’t deliver all his
lines perfectly, but magic like this hasn’t been created in a Christmas film since “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” in 2000 and not in a Santa-centric film since “The Santa Clause” in 1994.
Similarly to the Tim Allen hit, this film focuses on saving Christmas.
“The Christmas Chronicles” might be a Christmas classic for a new group of youngsters, and it says a lot about the coming generations that it’s a Netflix release.
The magic, as with all the greats, however, doesn’t lie in the star power, the effects, or even the writing – though those certainly play a part. The children are the stars here. Darby Camp is flawless as Kate, Teddy’s little sister, and the chemistry between the two is the backbone on
which everything else relies.Darby and Judah are the
best parts of the film, playing a truly relatable sibling pair: brawling with each other one moment and protecting each other from parental wrath the next.
You’d have to go all the way back to the 1989 release “Prancer” to find their equal.
“The Christmas Chronicles” is 1 hour and 44 minutes of pure magic and rated TV-PG, so sit down as a family with the cocoa and have yourselves a Norman Rockwell moment with this 1492 Pictures and Wonder Worldwide production, presented, for your convenience, by Netflix.
Three stars out of four.

Pun�� it up t�is �o�i�ay season
(Content and images provided by Family Features.)

Take it to the next level:If you are looking to host an unforget-
table holiday cocktail party, punch can make a memorable impression on your guests and bring your get-together to the next level.
Punch reached the height of its popu-larity during the Victorian Age. Originally made with alcohol, it ultimately became a non-alcoholic drink largely due to the preference of Queen Victoria. Over the following decades, it faded in popularity, briefly regaining favor in the 1920s when champagne punch was a hallmark of par-
ties and celebrations. Now, as new generations are reinvigo-
rating old favorites and enjoying the art of mixology, punch is trending again.
Start by making punch a visual cen-terpiece at your holiday party. Consider a charming drink dispenser, an unusual punch bowl or an elegant glass pitcher. Let your personal and unique style shine through with your choice of glassware and table decorations and offer a variety of garnish selections for your guests to further personalize their glasses.
Typically, punches start with a blend
of sweet and tangy, and you can get that “swangy” taste with an option like Tree Top’s 100 percent Pure Pressed Sweet & Tart Apple Cider as a base. For inspiration, take a mixologist’s approach to creating a memorable punch. Lemon, cinnamon and cloves not only spice up the flavor but can also double as decorations. Try ginger beer for a nice fizzle, and for an adult-only punch, consider adding vodka or rum.
Your punch table can be a place to gather and reconnect with loved ones while enjoying a trending holiday bever-age.
SWANGY CIDER PUNCHServings: 10 (8 ounces each)1 bottle (64 ounces) Tree Top 100 percent Pure Pressed Sweet & Tart Apple Cider16 ounces ginger beer 2 oranges, juice only1 lime, juice only1 lemon, juice only1 cup vodka or light rum (optional)1 sliced Granny Smith apple6 star anise pieces, plus additional for garnish (optional)6 whole cloves3 cinnamon sticksfrozen cranberries, for garnish (optional)colored sugars or ginger crystals, for garnish (optional)In punch container, combine apple cider, ginger beer, orange juice, lime
juice, lemon juice and vodka or rum, if desired, for an alcoholic version. Decorate container with apple slices, star anise pieces, cloves and cin-
namon sticks. Personalize each serving with additional star anise pieces, frozen cran-
berries and sugars or ginger crystals, as desired. Serve cold.

Despite the damage, those at the muse-um were determined to have Waterfowl Weekend on site.
“Waterfowl Weekend WILL HAPPEN ‘at the end of the road’ – as always,” organizers said in an official newsletter. “We will return to the ‘old way’ (like we did 1999-2009) using our building hull (studs and concrete)
for our exhibitors and events during the first weekend of December.”
There will be some changes to this year’s lineup.
The Friday Night Party will go on as planned, and organizers have added a Food Truck Round-Up Saturday evening while folks wait to see the Cape Lookout Lighthouse turn on its Christmas lights.
Vivian Howard of Chef & the Farmer and “Chef’s Life” will sign books Saturday from
noon to 2 p.m. Those who would like to reserve a copy of her best-selling cookbook, Deep Run Roots, can do so online at core-sound.com or by calling 252-728-1500.
The weekend continues Sunday with church and breakfast beginning at 8 a.m. followed by a Core Sound Family Day with special guest Kerry Willis helping to bring the community together to celebrate the season.
Pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus,
Christmas music and time to visit will make the afternoon a real homecoming, according to organizers.
The Core Sound Christmas Shop will be open at the museum all weekend, too.
Money raised during Waterfowl Weekend will help the museum get back up and run-ning.
“We hope you will make a special effort this year to include Core Sound in your Christmas by joining us during Waterfowl
Weekend, shopping in Downtown Morehead City, sharing our online store at coresound.com, renewing your member-ship and/or making a donation to help the museum recovery,” the newsletter reads. “YOU are why and how we do all that we do to serve our community day after day no matter what the need. Thank you for all you have done to help us build not only a building but a community ‘at the end of the road’…”
WATERFOWL | FROM PAGE 3
Vivian Howard, author, chef, restaurant owner and star of the PBS show “A Chef’s Life ,” will join the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center for Waterfowl Weekend to sign copies of her best selling cook-book Deep Run Roots: Stories & Recipes from My Corner of the South.
The event will be from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center.
“Core Sound welcomes Vivian Howard to Down East to be part of our most important week-end of the year – Waterfowl Weekend,” said Core Sound Waterfowl Museum Executive Director Karen Amspacher. “We believe she will find this to be a place that appreciates her com-mitment to local foods and the importance of community food traditions with a deep under-standing of how what we cook reflects our place in the world. We hope this will be the first of many visits ‘to the end of the road’ to share recipes and stories of home and the people who grow, catch and cook the foods we love.”
Vi�ian Howar� to sign �opies of �er book
Born in Deep Run to tobac-co and hog farming parents, Ms. Howard’s upbringing was steeped in the Southern food traditions of her neighbors.
Ms. Howard and her restau-rants – Chef & the Farmer in Kinston, Boiler Room in Kinston and Benny’s Big Time Pizzeria in Wilmington – have won numer-ous accolades, including her selection as a five-time James Beard Foundation Award semifi-nalist for Best Chef: Southeast.
She is the host behind “A Chef’s Life ,” the award-win-ning documentary television series celebrating eastern North Carolina food traditions.
After five seasons, a Daytime Emmy, Peabody award and James Beard award for Outstanding Personality/Host, the series has segued into a new series to pre-miere in 2019.
Ms. Howard’s first New York Times best selling cookbook, Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South, is a landmark work of American food writing, and is as much a storybook as it is a cook-book, imparting the true tale of Eastern North Carolina food, according to a release.
There is no cost to attend the book signing. Attendees are asked to preorder books in advance at coresound.com/waterfowl-weekend-2018 .
One ticket should be pur-chased for each copy one wish-es to reserved. Those who are bringing their own copy are asked to RSVP so the museum can plan appropriately.
Books are $42.70, including tax. Tickets are available now.

Model trains circle a miniature town last year at the Beaufort train depot, one of many exhibits set up for the 23rd annual John Costlow Train Show. The free event opens its doors on the corner of Pollock and Broad streets 4-8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2. (Dylan Ray photo)
The 24th annual John Costlow Christmas Train Show, by the Carteret County Model Railroad Bluffs, will be held from Friday, Nov. 30 through Sunday, Dec. 2 at the train depot on the corner of Pollock and Broad streets in Beaufort.
The show is free and open to the public, and will be hosted from 4-8 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Any donations gathered during the event will go to the Beaufort Lion’s Club, whose members will be assisting with this year’s show.
The exhibit offers a glimpse into the past with antique work-ing model trains of all sizes.
Model train layouts represent all conventional scales, including N, HO, S, O27, standard and LGB designed for garden and backyard exhibits.
Working displays of passenger and freight models will be pow-ered by old fashioned steam and diesel locomotives, both American and European.
Realistic layouts will include residential, commercial and indus-trial buildings, which supported railroad facilities.
The model train layouts will include a variety of items of inter-est to railroad enthusiasts of all ages, ranging from simple circles, traditionally found around the Christmas tree, to more elaborate systems of all gauges.
Larger layouts will include spurs and passing sidings to permit express trains to “high-ball” along the main line.
Individual layouts also dis-play residential, commercial and industrial buildings representing the variety of support facilities involved in the operation of a railroad.
Modern technology has allowed model railroaders to add various components to their displays, including sound, lighting and actu-al smoke to the running trains.
In contrast, static scenes from bygone eras will capture the atten-tion and delight the eye.
Each display has been designed
A�� aboar�: Annua� train s�ow setby the owner or operator to appeal to those interested in model rail-roading.
There will also be a unique dis-play of steam power, which fueled early trains, as well as a children’s wooden train set for young engi-neers to enjoy.
While visiting the depot, visitors may also enjoy museum exhibits that detail the early days of rail in eastern North Carolina, including a stationmaster’s office with its artifacts.
There will also be an opportu-nity to discuss technical problems or layout designs with the train enthusiasts and purchase various train items on site.
This yearly event began 23 years ago at the Barbour Marine Shop on Front Street when a group of train buffs who were determined to share their hobby of model railroading with their children and grandchildren.
Soon phones were ringing with questions about the show, where to buy a simple train set, how to make mountains and when there was going to be another show.
Children under the age of 12 should be accompanied by an adult, and participants are reminded not to touch the mov-ing trains.
For more information, call Doug Doubleday at 252-728-2259.
Rodney Kemp will give a talk about Morehead City’s Promise Land Friday, Nov. 30 at the History Museum of Carteret County in Morehead City.
Those who consider them-selves “Promise-landers” are descended from families who inhabited Diamond City, which was located on the far-eastern end of Shackleford Banks.
The town was destroyed dur-ing a series of violent hurricanes that washed over the banks in the latter 19th century, the final blow coming in 1899.
After that storm, the families picked up and moved to three locations, Salter Path on Bogue Banks, Harkers Island and to Morehead City’s waterfront dis-trict – now called the Promise Land.
Some of the buildings in this
district were actually moved from Diamond City by boat, while oth-ers have been built anew.
Several artifacts from the Parker Family Collection will be on exhibit during Mr. Kemp’s talk, including an original 1830s era harpoon used to hunt whales out of Diamond City.
Those who are interested in attending should make reserva-tions for lunch by calling 252-247-7533, ext. 1, or by stopping by the museum store.
Lunch rates are $16 for gener-al admission and $13 for Carteret County Historical Society mem-bers; the lecture rate is $8.50 for general admission and $5.50 for historical society members.
Lunch begins at 11:30 a.m. with the presentation at noon. Reserve lunch tickets before 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29.

10The Crystal Coast Christmas
Flotilla is set for Saturday, Dec. 1. This year, the Crystal Coast Christmas Flotilla has been named a “Top 20 Event in the Southeast” by the Southeast Tourism Society for December 2018.
“We are excited that the Crystal Coast Christmas Flotilla has received this prestigious rec-ognition from a major regional tourism organization,” said Susan Sanders, president of the Beaufort Development Association. “It will be great for Beaufort and the entire Crystal Coast.”
The Crystal Coast Christmas Flotilla began Saturday, Dec. 5, 1992, with seven boats cruising down the Beaufort waterfront.
William Prentice, former man-ager of the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center, was in one of those seven boats.
“We gathered at the end of Radio Island and circled there for a while,” Mr. Prentice said. “When it came time to start, John Warrington peeled off and the rest of us fell in line taking his lead.
“It was clear and calm that evening and the crowd along the waterfront was a bit sparse, com-pared to recent flotillas, but still a good gathering as we made our way down Taylors Creek,” he said.
That first year the judges viewed the flotilla from the upstairs porch of the Dock House. The awards
ceremony was held in the N.C. Maritime Museum’s Harborside Annex, next door to the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center. The awards were gift certificates donated by several Beaufort busi-nesses.
Twenty-six years later, the tra-dition continues.
This year’s flotilla will feature boats, yachts, oars, kayaks and commercial vessels decorated for the season.
The decorated boats can be
seen at 5:30 p.m. on the Morehead City waterfront and at 6:15 p.m. on the Beaufort waterfront.
All decorated boats are judged and prizes for excellence and cre-ativity are awarded at the festive Awards Party after the flotilla in

the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center. Cash prizes will be award-ed.
Looking back at previous flotillas
In 1993, the Morehead Beaufort Yacht Club started sponsoring the “Annual Christmas Boat Parade” with prizes donated by Beaufort retailers and restaurants. A tradi-tion began with free dockage for the 15 boats in the parade pro-vided by the Beaufort Town Docks, support that continues each year.
The YP 701, a U.S. Marine Corps yard-patrol boat of the Aerial/Surface Target Department served as the judge’s platform and was open for tours during the day. The Carteret County News-Times became the media sponsor in 1993 and has helped spread the word about this popular holiday tradition ever since.
In 1995, the Crystal Coast Tourism Development Authority came aboard as co-sponsor and the name of the event changed to the “Crystal Coast Christmas Flotilla.” The East Carteret High School chorus provided Christmas carols on the Beaufort boardwalk and the judges were in the water-craft center, with the awards party at the museum.
It was in 1995 that the art by

In 1996, proceeds from the flo-tilla started going to support the Junior Sailing Program adminis-tered by the Friends of the N.C. Maritime Museum.
The Friends of the N.C. Maritime Museum took the lead role in organizing the flotilla in 2003 and brought on WITN as a media sponsor with footage of past flotillas airing on television throughout the region ever since.
The U.S. Coast Guard continues to bring a vessel to lead the flotilla and Tow Boat US provides on-the-water assistance.
“The Flotilla has turned into a major holiday tradition for the region,” said Brent Creelman, operations manager for the Friends of the N.C. Museum. “We’ve had tremendous support over the years.”
This year, the 34 Degrees North Restaurant at the new Beaufort Hotel has come onboard as a sponsor of the event. The hotel and restaurant are scheduled to open in the Spring 2019.
Now in its 26th year, the flotilla traditionally attracts 20-30 vessels each year. Last year, there were 35 participating boats.
With the support of merchants and restaurants in Carteret County, the flotilla has established itself as a holiday tradition for many of the participating crews with vessels returning year after year.

pate by mail, by calling 252-504-7740, or until noon Dec. 1, by vis-iting the N.C. Maritime Museum Store. The cost is $25.
