All systems are go for the fifth annual CedarFest, the daylong celebration of one of Carteret County’s friendliest and most unique municipalities.

The festival will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 30, at the historic Octagon House at Shipwrights Cove, 301 Masonic Ave., and committee co-chair-man John Nash is excited.

“We are looking to match or beat our attendance from last year, which, by counting cars, we estimated at 9,000 to 10,000,” he said July 25. “The weather forecast looks good for Saturday so far, and we think we’ll have great attendance.”

CedarFest is a family-oriented event, and features a wide vari-ety of arts and crafts vendors, as well as displays from local busi-nesses and civic groups, food vendors and live music.

This year’s festival also includes boat rides on the White Oak River, bouncy houses, face painting and pony rides for the children.

“As of now, we have 40 ven-dors, and we think we’ll end up with more,” Mr. Nash said. “Some vendors look at the weather forecast as it gets closer, and make decisions then, and we’ll have room for more if we get a last-minute rush.”

He’s particularly excited about the return of the boat rides – there will be two pontoon boats that will carry folks for short trips on the White Oak – and the pony rides for the

children. There should be five ponies available.

In addition, Mr. Nash said, Bogue Auto Sales will bring some classic cars, and there will be two race cars for children of all ages to touch and sit in. There will be a Coast Guard ves-sel on site on a trailer, and there will be military displays from Camp Lejeune.

Music will be two popu-lar local bands, CSA and Wild Honey: Swansboro’s Angie Cooper and Matt Miller. Those are the same bands as last year, Mr. Nash said, but both have agreed to play longer sets. CSA will be on the main stage near the Octagon House, while Wild Honey will be on a stage closer to the water.

The house itself is a big drawing card. It’s one of the last eight-sided houses on the East Coast and sits on property that was originally granted by King George III to Thomas Lee in 1713. This land was once an Indian camping ground – evi-denced by shell beds and pottery found along the banks of the sound. In 1765, William Hill, from Lunenberg County, Va., purchased what had become known as the Cedar Point Plan-tation, hundreds and hundreds of acres on the White Oak River near Swansboro, then part of Carteret County.

Edward Hill, son of Col. John Hatch Hill, a member of the Carteret Militia and a member of the N.C. General Assembly in 1814-15, built the house on the old family property. It eventu-

ally was handed down to its last individual owner, John S. Jones, a Cedar Point town founding father, who died last year. He donated it to the Masons in 1999, and it was meticulously restored and often is used for weddings and other functions.

The committee has signs up for the festival along Highway 58 and Highway 24, and Bea-sley Media, one of the festi-val sponsors, has been running spots on two radio stations, 103.3 and 107.9 FM, so the word is getting out all around Eastern North Carolina. As of July 25, Mr. Nash said, there were 21 sponsors.

Mr. Nash, who had just moved to the area at CedarFest time last year, credited last year’s com-mittee chairman, T.J. Williams, for setting a great foundation, and Mr. Williams served on the committee again this year. He also said his co-chairman, Jen Heironimus, and other commit-tee members, had done a great job.

“It’s been a very rewarding experience to help put the festi-val together this year,” Mr. Nash added.

He also said he very much appreciated the Camp Lejeune Marines who have volunteered, as last year, to help with traffic and other tasks at the festival. Many in the community have also volunteered for various tasks, and more volunteers are needed, even if they commit at the last minute.

“This festival runs on volun-teers, and we appreciate all of

�edar�est celebration slated for July 30them,” Mr. Nash said. “There are plenty of things to do.”

Volunteers will get a Cedar-Fest T-shirt, plus free food, and students who volunteer because they need community service points will get certificates that prove their participation.

The price of admission is a

nonperishable food item for the food pantry at the Hem of His Garment in Swansboro, accord-ing to Mr. Nash and Ms. Hei-ronimus.

BY JAKE COYLEASSOCIATED PRESS

In the previous “Star Trek” installment, Spock cried. In the latest, “Star Trek Beyond,” he laughs. And not just a little snicker, either, but a belly-full one. What bold explorations into the farthest reaches of the galaxy hold for Spock no one knows. A sigh? A hiccup?

“Star Trek Beyond,” like most of the rebooted properties fly-ing around our movie theaters, delights in nostalgically resurrect-ing iconic characters and tweak-ing them anew. The balance is a delicate one, as seen in the pre-release debate around this film revealing Sulu (John Cho but for-merly played by LGBT icon George Takei) as gay.

The scene in question turns out to be a mere moment, lightly handled, showing Sulu greeting his same-sex partner and their daughter after a long mission. It’s

all expressed with just a few arms tenderly draped across shoul-ders. And it’s the kind of wel-come touch that director Justin Lin, the “Fast & Furious” veteran who takes over for J.J. Abrams, has brought to this pleasingly epi-sode-like installment.

The opening scene, fittingly, plays with a smaller scale. Captain Kirk (Chris Pine), on a diplomatic mission, appeals to a snarling beast looming above him in a crowded amphitheater. Enraged at Capt. Kirk’s offer, the alien beast hurtles down upon him, only to turn out to be no more monstrous than a feisty bulldog.

The film finds a bored Enterprise finishing up a five-year tour in deep space. The (albeit brief) change of pace is immedi-ately appreciated. The last two beefed-up “Star Trek” movies, as if overcompensating for decades of Trekkie nerd-dome, threatened to make the once brainy “Star

Trek” less distinct from other mega-sized sci-fi adventures – just another clothesline of CGI set pieces strung together.

Like its recent predecessors, “Star Trek Beyond” is mostly an assortment of effects-heavy scenes with bits of talking in between. But unlike the previous film, 2013’s bloated “Star Trek into Darkness,” not everything is quite so much of a life-and-death issue (the exhausting de facto pitch of today’s summer blockbuster).

The Starship Enterprise, led by Capt. Kirk (Mr. Pine, looking more natural in the role), is lured through a nebula where a would-be rescue mission turns into a trap set by the villain Krall, whose spectacular army of mechanical drones (“bees” he calls them) attack in an overwhelming swarm. In a galactic blitz, the Enterprise is torn to shreds and crashes down on a rocky planet where the ship’s scattered crew tries to

gather, survive and understand Krall’s motives. A local becomes an essential guide for them: Jaylah (a nimble Sofia Boutella), a pale loner with black streaks run-ning down her face who helps the crew discover the Federation’s history on the planet.

The backstory, though, never quite gets filled out, and the plot serves as little more than a mechanism to test the efficient camaraderie of the Enterprise crew. Among them: Zoe Saldana’s Uhura, Simon Pegg’s Scotty, Karl Urban’s Bones and Chekov, played by the late Anton Yelchin, a fine actor who’s disappointing under-used here. They’re an entertain-ing enough bunch meandering around, and screenwriters Doug Jung and Mr. Pegg (who, as the writer of “Spaced,” knows plenty about the intersection of comedy and science fiction) have injected some humor to the proceedings.

The heart of the film, though,

like the previous two, is the bro-mance between Capt. Kirk and Zachary Quinto’s Spock. They’re Felix and Oscar in outer space, and still the highlight of this batch of “Star Trek” films.

It’s only late in the film that the alien mask is pulled away revealing the actor underneath Krall: Idris Elba. For those who didn’t place his baritone earlier, the reveal comes as a disappoint-ment. It should be a crime in deep space, as it is on Earth, to shroud such a tremendous force behind mountains of extraterrestrial makeup. But I suppose had Elba been an unadorned baddie all along, the Enterprise might really have finally met its match.

“Star Trek Beyond,” a Paramount Pictures release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sequences of sci-fi action and vio-lence.” Running time: 122 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

For simple recipes that will make your summer meals a little more coastal, visit seapak.com.

Fuss-free meals:When temperatures soar and the bright

sun is bearing down, lighter menus make perfect sense, but that doesn’t mean big appetites automatically fade away. One needs meal options that offer simplicity and balance, but also satisfy.

When dealing with a toasty kitchen, build dinner plans around products and ingredients that cut down on prep time. Create flavorful but fuss-free meals with these tips:

• Forget complicated sides and instead rely on the abundance of fresh seasonal produce that’s available. Basic garden salads and fresh-sliced fruits are delicious and easy ways to round out a well-bal-anced meal.• When it comes to the main dish, look for flavorful, guilt-free, ready-for-the-grill shortcuts. An example inspired by the coast can be found in SeaPak’s new Lighthouse Selections lineup, with options such as Creamy Garlic Shrimp, Marinated Shrimp and Shrimp & Veggie

Griller, which provide the perfect har-mony between hearty and healthy. The gluten- and preservative-free items, which are made with certified-sustain-able, farm-raised shrimp, are now avail-able at selected retailers, including Food Lion.• Rely on recipes that can be placed on the table in minutes. It is easy to create dishes the whole family will enjoy, using just a handful of ingredients. A short list of well-selected ingredients can lead to truly tasty dishes in a flash.

The 60th year of United Way of Coastal Carolina will be led by Tom Braaten, the 2016-17 Leadership Giving Campaign chairman.

“Because I believe so much in the work that United Way of Coastal Carolina is doing, I decid-ed to lead the Leadership Giving Campaign this year,” said Mr. Braaten, a retired major general and former head of the Coastal Carolina Regional Airport and for-mer commander of U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.

United Way of Coastal Carolina has 18 funded programs serving individuals in Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico counties.

Mr. Braaten said that of these counties, 41,000 residents, including children, live in poverty and an average of 16.5 percent

U.S. Navy B-1 Bandsmen, includ-ing Abe Thurman, of Beaufort, will celebrate the 74th anniversary of their becoming the first African-Americans to serve in the modern U.S. Navy at a rank higher than messman when they gather for their reunion in Chapel Hill, which is Thursday-Saturday, Aug. 4-6.

Highlighting the weekend’s activities is a free public meet-and-greet event from 7-8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5, at the Hargraves Center, 216 N. Roberson St..

Mr. Thurman was one of 26 N.C. A&T bandsmen to join B-1. He is a former educator and Beaufort commissioner.

Durham resident John Mason was a student at Hillside High School when he enlisted, along with the school’s band director and several students from North Carolina College, now N.C. Central, including Simeon Holloway.

Mr. Holloway, who acted in sev-eral television shows and films while living in Hollywood, Calif., now lives in Las Vegas, Nev.

They will both be attending this year’s reunion, along with Mr. Thurman and Calvin Morrow

of Greensboro. Mr. Morrow was one of nine

Dudley High students who joined, along with their band director, James B. Parsons.

In 1961, Mr. Parsons became the first African-American appoint-ed to a superior court judgeship, by John F. Kennedy.

Hargraves Center, now a Chapel Hill recreation building, was the band’s headquarters during their wartime service attached to the U.S. Navy’s PreFlight School that was housed on the UNC campus.

Because state law at the time forbade the bandsmen from lodg-ing or dining on campus, Hargraves became their home, from where they paraded daily to Alexander Hall for the raising of colors.

Among those thrilled by these community parades were John and Doug Clark, whose mother, Rebecca Clark, was a cousin to one of the bandsmen. Among their champions in Chapel Hill’s white community were the Rev. Charles Jones and many in his congregation at Chapel

The Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market will hold more evening markets before the end of the season after a largely successful market held on June 25.

“Because the first evening market was so well-received, we wanted to be responsive to the shoppers and vendors and sched-ule three more evening markets,” Cindy Bunch, the executive mar-ket manager, said.

The evening markets will be from 4-8 p.m. Saturday, July 30, as well as Aug. 27, and 3-7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, at the court-house square in Beaufort. There will be no morning markets on those days.

“A stroll through the market is an experience complete with the sights and sounds of people enjoying and celebrating life in a small town where life slows down so neighbors can catch up,” Ms. Bunch said.

Each market will have live music from local musicians. On Saturday, the market will feature a perfor-mance by Back Porch Gut Bucket Band, a crowd favorite.

The band uses all homemade instruments such as saws, wash-boards and spoons. They are known to engage crowd members

with their dancing, particularly clogging.

Local gospel singer Angela Baker will be the second perfor-mance at the upcoming July 30 market.

The live music performances of the August and September mar-kets will be posted on www.old-ebeaufortfarmersmarket.org.

At least 40 food vendors will be at the markets, including a French bistro food truck, TataJo, from Jacksonville.

Stands filled with products from numerous farmers, fisher-men, bakers, artisans and more will line the square.

“There will be lots of awesome artisans with many amazing hand-made products,” Ms. Bunch said.

One lucky winner will receive a raffle basket at the end of each evening market. Every vendor will contribute an item to the basket.

Each time a shopper buys a product, he or she will receive a ticket in the raffle to win the large prize.

There will be an area for chil-dren to play. Admission is free.

The end of the season will be in mid-December with the evening holiday market.

BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES

Nine years ago, the world said “goodbye” to Harry Potter and his friends with the last installment of the book series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Since the release of Deathly Hallows, fans of the series have kept up with the magical world by re-reading the books, watching the movies, visiting the Wizard World of Harry Potter theme park in Florida and visiting “Pottermore,” a website designed by the

books’ author, JK Rowling, with facts about the charac-ters and the wizarding world she created.

After much anticipation, Potter fans are finally get-ting new material with a play, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” which will premier in London on Saturday, July 30, and the film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” due in theaters in November.

For those who can’t make it to the London production, Ms. Rowling has released the screenplay to the public. It

will hit shelves at midnight Sunday, July 31.

On Monday, Aug. 1, the Newport Public Library will celebrate the release of the screenplay by hosting a book release party.

The play picks up 19 years after Harry Potter defeats the evil wizard Lord Voldemort.

While Harry handles a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son, Albus, must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted.

As past and present col-

lide, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: Sometimes darkness comes from unexpected places.

From 10-11:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 1, library visitors can cel-ebrate the release of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” during the book release party.

Patrons can come dressed as their favorite character from any of the books, par-ticipate in a trivia contest for the most correct answers, purchase raffle tickets, take a photograph with a life-size Professor Snape at the photo

booth, make a wizard wand, make a house pin and win door prizes.

Admission is one pair of new socks in memory of Dobby, a house elf. The socks will be donated to charity.

The raffle is sponsored by the Friends of the Newport Public Library. The prize will be one of three copies of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.”

Tickets will be $1 each or six for $5. Tickets will be avail-able at the library.

For more information, call the library at 252-223-5108.

This year, instead of a regu-lar beach vacation, more than 1,350 Lighthouse Volunteer Family Partners are volunteering to spend a week of their summer serving families battling child-hood cancer at Lighthouse Family Retreat.

These Lighthouse Volunteer Family Partners are giving up their vacation time with a noble goal in mind: giving back.

Lighthouse Family Retreat serves families living through childhood cancer by creating environments on seaside retreats where they can rest, restore rela-tionships, experience joy and find hope in God.

“Family Partners play an inte-gral role in shaping this experi-ence for our families,” said Josh

Deyton, vice president of market-ing and development. “You’d find that our Family Partners often leave feeling more refreshed than even a weeklong vacation would provide. Giving back is a special thing.”

This year the organization expanded, hosting 18 retreats at five locations on two coasts: along the Outer Banks and the Gulf Coast in Florida.

The program offers fun, family-centered activities to help them “feel like a family” again. Because childhood cancer impacts every-one in the family, the weeklong retreat is designed to accommo-date every member of the family – moms, dads, siblings and the

Volunteers to ser�e families of children with cancer

Photographer, author to sign copies of books

Photographs of North Carolina’s old general stores will be on exhib-it at Oriental’s History Museum from Sunday, Sept. 4, until the end of December.

Tony Craig, of Newport, has traveled the back roads of North Carolina photographing old gen-eral stores and interviewing their owners. He has become a noted landscape photographer, author and cartoonist.

Mr. Craig will be at the museum on opening day at 2 p.m. to sign his book and give photography tips.

Mr. Craig’s photographs at the exhibit are available in his book, Country Stores in North Carolina.

These photographs show gen-eral stores from Min-O-Pon in Stanly County to Priddy’s Store near Danbury.

A gallery of Mr. Craig’s work can be viewed at www. facebook.com/nextbendgallery.

The exhibit will also feature work by artist and illustrator Sue Blanchard, who dedicates her folk art to her memories of growing up amidst old barn buildings, country stores and frayed quilts.

The museum will also have raffle tickets for sale for a hand-crafted wine rack. The raffle will take place at the annual meeting on Saturday, Nov. 5.

child battling cancer.Moms and dads are offered a

special getaway for a date night, kids enjoy an “UNbirthday” party, beach and pool games for every-one, a Hollywood night, dance party under the stars and a talent show.

This year, more than 260 fam-ilies will be served throughout spring break and over the sum-mer months.

One dad said, “Chemotherapy, surgery, prayer and faith healed our son. Lighthouse helped heal our family.”

Lighthouse Volunteer Family Partners work hard, play hard, pray hard and build lifelong friendships.

Hill Presbyterian Church, now University Presbyterian, including Frank Porter Graham.

While stationed at UNC, the bandsmen were denied entrance to classes open to other U.S. Navy cadets. Their dance bands played primarily for white sailors at occasions where the musicians would not have otherwise been welcomed.

Prior to B-1’s arrival on the UNC campus, blacks had been relegated to the same kinds of jobs they were allowed to do in the U.S. Navy: cooks and clean-ers. Ms. Clark recalled that simply having educated black men on campus was important to Chapel Hill’s black community, many of whom, like her and her husband, had those cooking and cleaning jobs.

“We were hoping integration would happen, but you didn’t know if it would,” Ms. Clark said. “So it was nice to see those fine young men on campus here every day. It gave you hope.”

B-1 bandsmen were welcomed

to campus in 2007 by Chancellor James Moeser, who apologized for how they had been treated during World War II.

“I think this is the first time that we have welcomed you on this campus, and it is very, very, very late, but it is never too late,” he said during his apology. “I only regret that we didn’t do this many, many many years ago when we could have had the entire band on campus.”

B-1 bandsmen were made hon-orary members of the Marching Tar Heels during halftime of the Carolina-James Madison football game on Sept. 1, 2007.

Of the original 44 members of the band, only six are still surviv-ing.

“Keeping the Legacy Alive: A Community Meet and Greet” will feature brief remarks from the bandsmen and community mem-bers who remember the band’s presence and influence.

For more information, contact Alex Albright, B-1’s official histo-rian and author of The Forgotten First: B-1 and the Integration of the Modern Navy, or visit www.rafountain.com./navy.

REUNION | FROM PAGE 6

For centuries quilts have been made for the purpose of keeping warm, but for Nancy Smith, it’s the inherent beauty of the quilt that has attracted her.

Ms. Smith, of the Crystal Coast Quilters Guild, will conduct a dem-onstration on this popular craft from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4, at the Beaufort Historic Site.

Quilting, a method of sew-ing that dates back to the 1100s, originated in China and was sup-posedly brought to Europe by Crusaders.

However, a recent discovery from Germany indicates that quilted objects may have been recognized during the Dark Ages.

Quilts were expensive, beauti-ful and warm, all desirable quali-

ties for the upper class during the period of the late Renaissance.

The art traveled across the ocean with early colonial American women who made “patchwork” quilts from scraps of old cloth due to the expense and unavailability of European fabrics.

Over time and because fab-ric was becoming more readily available, American quilts began to take on beautiful patterns and designs.

American patchwork was per-haps the most elaborate in his-tory, with several thousand docu-mented block patterns in addition to trapunto, appliqué, and “crazy patchwork.”

Space is limited so preregistra-tion is suggested.

For more information on this

Quilting demonstration to be held at BHA siteand other Living History Programs, stop by the Safrit Historical Center

at 130 Turner St., call the Beaufort Historical Association at 252-728-

5225 or visit www.beauforthis-toricsite.org.
