This month, the Cassie Howe Algeo Gallery will fea-ture the colorful paintings of Newport resident Deborah Bevins.

This exhibit will be at the new gallery location in the hallway connecting the new and old lobbies of Carteret

Health Care at 3500 Arendell St. in Morehead City.

These shows are free and open to the public at all times. Most of the works are for sale. Purchase can be arranged through the hospital’s human resources department.

Ms. Bevins has lived in the

county for more than 30 years. She is a member of the Arts Council of Carteret County and Arts for the Hospital.

“My retirement gave me the opportunity and time to do what I have always wanted to do and that is paint,” Ms. Bevins said. “I love nature and

animals, which reflects in my work. I paint from actual life situations of animals from photographs which I take or from my own thoughts.”

According to Ms. Bevins, one of her favorite things to paint are dog portraits.

“The owner will give me a

photograph and I will paint from that,” she said. “I love to see the expressions on their faces when I deliver the paint-ings.”

For more information about the Arts for the Hospital Committee, contact Sally Anger at 252-241-1810.

The Beaufort Historical Association welcomes Kristy Harvey, an up and coming Southern author, for a Lunch and Learn event.

The event is at noon Thursday, Aug. 4, at Clawson’s 1905 Restaurant in Beaufort.

Ms. Harvey will talk about both of her novels, Dear Carolina and Lies and Other Acts of Love. Reservations are required for this presentation. The cost is $22.

Ms. Harvey’s captivating and insightful debut novel, Dear Carolina, introduced a fresh voice to Southern women’s fic-tion. Now, with her second novel she cements her status as a writ-er to watch.

Bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand raves, “Lies and Other Acts of Love establishes Kristy Woodson Harvey as a major new voice in Southern fiction. A beautiful testament to the steel and elegance of the

South and its women, Lies and Other Acts of Love is a powerful examination of the lies we tell to protect our loved ones – and the life-altering consequences of a hidden truth revealed.”

Fans of Karen White and Wendy Wax will love this poi-gnant, intergenerational fam-ily story that is sure to reso-nate with anyone who has ever grappled with the gray areas of love.

Ms. Harvey is a North Carolina native. She holds a degree in journalism from UNC-Chapel Hill and a master’s in English from East Carolina University.

She runs an interior design blog, Design Chic, and lives in North Carolina with her husband and son.

For information on the Lunch and Learn or to reserve seat, call 252-728-5225 or stop by the Visitor’s Center at 130 Turner St. in Beaufort.

BY LINDSEY BAHRASSOCIATED PRESS

The comedy “Bad Moms” fancies itself a “Hangover” for the PTA set. And, while a wild send-up of modern parental perfection – that insidious idea that exists only in commercials and glossy magazines – is a worthy and fresh subject for a fun summer comedy, “Bad Moms” is ultimately rather conventional.

Set in an upper middle class Chicago suburb, “Bad Moms” centers on Amy (Mila Kunis), a perpetually stressed and overworked 32-year-old with a part-time job and two super busy pre-teens. Lest you think Ms. Kunis is a little too young to have pre-teens, the first line in the movie has her explaining that she got pregnant at 20. The movie is on the defense

before it even gets going.Amy spends her days shut-

tling her kids (Oona Laurence and Emjay Anthony) from school to soccer practice to Russian lessons. She puts up with grief from her incompe-tent 20-something boss (Clark Duke), her loser husband Mike (David Walton) and the mean moms of the PTA (Christina Applegate, Jada Pinkett Smith, Annie Mumolo). She does her son’s school projects for him and apologizes profusely to her ungrateful family for being late with the beautiful homemade roast chicken she’s made for dinner while her husband sits around like a dope. And she does all of this while still main-taining perfect hair, makeup and clothes.

Her breaking point comes when she realizes her spouse

is not only a lazy dope, but also cheating on her with a woman from the internet. This is revealed in an unfunny bit that goes on far too long. But, after kicking him out, Amy decides to just start saying no to things – to four-hour PTA meetings, to insane dietary restrictions at the bake sale and to work-ing full time when her boss only pays her for three days a week.

She teams up with some similarly disgruntled mothers, including stay-at-home-mom Kiki (Kristen Bell) and single mom Carla (Kathryn Hahn). The actresses help elevate these characters above the stereotypes – especially Ms. Bell, who brings a lot of empa-thy and humor to what could have easily been a train wreck of a part.

The film does have its moments. It’s kind of delight-ful when Amy plops down at the bake sale with a half-eaten container of doughnut holes. But for the most part, Amy’s rebellion involves partying, shopping, daytime movies and cruise rides in her husband’s fancy convertible. It feels a lit-tle bit like a frat bro’s fantasy of “Mom’s day off.”

Perhaps that’s because this film is from writer and directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore – the screenwriters behind “The Hangover” and the party movie “21 & Over.” It makes me wish they had called on Mumulo, who co-wrote “Bridesmaids,” for an assist.

The saving grace is in the oddball friendship between Amy, Kiki and Carla. But every-thing goes off the rails in the

third act. Amy’s big moment centers around her trying to get elected head of the PTA over Ms. Applegate’s charac-ter so that her daughter isn’t unjustly benched on the soccer team. It contradicts her origi-nal point that they work too hard for their kids.

“Bad Moms” had so many opportunities to be great, edgy and insightful, but instead set-tles for the most milquetoast commentary possible on mod-ern motherhood.

“Bad Moms,” an STX Entertainment Release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sexual material, full frontal nudity, language throughout, and drug and alcohol content.” Running time: 101 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

The Friends of Fort Macon concert series concludes

Friday, Aug. 5, with a perfor-mance by 4EverAll.

�EverAll to conclude concert series4EverAll will perform the last concert in the Friends of Fort Macon summer concert series 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5, at Fort Macon. (Contributed photo)

The fort’s doors open early for the show, which runs from 7 to 8 p.m.

Concertgoers can bring lawn chairs and a picnic bas-ket, but are reminded that no alcohol or pets are permitted inside the fort walls.

4EverAll is a versatile and popular group that has been playing up and down the Crystal Coast to fantastic reviews.

Energetic and personable, they mix Americana, folk and

classic rock and originals in their own signature acoustic style.

Playing “seven decades of your favorites,” concert-goers may hear something from Dave Matthews, Alison Krauss, the Pretenders, Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zepplin or Johnny Cash – often with a hint of grainy bluegrass in the blend.

Though built for warfare, the fort’s parade ground has natural acoustics that have

amazed every group who has played there, and it’s all in a historical, yet casual and friendly setting.

The show is free, though donations are needed and welcome.

The donation box at the entrance can help fund the countless projects and events the Friends provide year-round at Fort Macon.

The park is at the end of East Fort Macon Road in Atlantic Beach.

There’s no need to be a night owl in order to find out who’s who on International Owl Awareness Day.

On Thursday, Aug. 4, the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores joins other organiza-tions and facilities worldwide to reveal fascinating facts about these birds, the trou-bles some species face and how everyone can help.

During International Owl Awareness Day, participate in owl-oriented programs, crafts and activities, meet a screech owl, a great horned owl, a

barn owl and the birds that star in the aquarium’s daily Bird’s-eye View bird show or other educational presenta-tions.

All of the featured birds have injuries or conditions that give them little chance of surviving on their own in the wild.

Throughout the day, flock to additional activities through-out the aquarium: • Wise up and see “whoooo” the owl ate in an owl pellet dissection.• Have a “hoot” playing

games and making crafts.• Certify your backyard as a wildlife habitat.

Owl Awareness Day activi-ties are free with admission. Bird’s-Eye View is presented twice daily, free of charge.

The N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is five miles west of Atlantic Beach at 1 Roosevelt Blvd. in Pine Knoll Shores. The aquarium is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

For more information, see www.ncaquariums.com/pine-knoll-shores or call 252-247-4003.

Beaufort welcomes artist Michael Nardozzi in an exhibit of his work at the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery this month through September.

His show will open from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, on the grounds of the Beaufort Historic Site.

Mr. Nardozzi is a self-taught and diverse artist. He is fueled by a powerful imagination and explores all art mediums and styles.

His work is inspired by his fas-cination with natural light and the dramatic mood it creates in the everyday world. His paint-ings cover many art forms includ-ing realism, land and seascapes, still life, fantasy art, impression-ism, abstract and contemporary.

He explores them all, even cre-ating beautiful 3-D metal sculp-tures. Whether painting on can-vas, foam board, exotic wood, gold leaf or metal, he’s constantly pushing the envelope to further

his skill set.Recently, Mr. Nardozzi decided

to team up with his wife, Bari, to bring her creativity into the mix. Now, on any given day or night, they can be found collaborating on their latest piece of art.

The Nardozzis are both from Eastern North Carolina. Thirteen years ago, they moved to Maui, Hawaii. While in the islands, their art was embraced by the art com-munity, and then the mainland, and has now been collected both

nationally and internationally. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith is even a Nardozzi collector.

As the old saying goes, “every path leads home,” so while the Nardozzis continue to live in Hawaii, they can be found in Carteret County every spring and summer enjoying time with their family and friends.

They recently found, pur-chased and renovated an old house in Salter Path. While ren-ovating they decided that the

downstairs would be perfect for an art gallery.

This summer the Nardozzis officially open the doors of their art gallery, fittingly named “The Path.” Their work can be found at www.michaelfineart.com.

For more information on the Nardozzis’ upcoming show, call 252-728-5225, stop by the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery at 130 Turner St. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday or visit www.beauforthistoricsite.org.

Harkers Island history is the subject for a new oral history project for a group that is ded-icated to studying Southern food cultures.

The project, which is part of Southern Foodways Alliance’s ongoing collection of oral his-tories called “Stories of the Saltwater Path,” will be dis-cussed on Thursday, Aug. 11, at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island.

Food writer Keia Mastrianni, Chef Mike Moore of Old Etowah Smokehouse in Etowah, the Blind Pig Supper Club in Asheville and members of the Harkers Island community will gather to discuss the project.

The goal of the oral histo-ries project is to document and preserve the rich culture and foods of the Harkers Island community.

Last October, Mr. Moore took his supper club on the

Harkers Island history focus of new oral project

road for a special dinner on Harkers Island featuring chefs from all over the South. Mr. Moore, who is from Wilson, has personal ties to Down East and has been a regular partici-pant in the Beaufort Wine & Food Festival.

The dinner was created in honor of the rich fishing cul-ture present on Harkers Island. Mr. Moore joined forces with fisherman Eddie Willis to pro-vide the fresh catch for the dinner, and each chef dug into traditional recipes to feature at the event.

Ms. Mastrianni attended the dinner. It was her first time out to the coast. The din-ner itself was a success, well attended by over 100 people who enjoyed the high-end creations and festive atmo-sphere.

“Once I got to talking with Mike, who is a nut for cul-tural anthropology, he shared

some of Eddie’s stories and those of the rich culture found on Harkers Island,” Ms. Mastrianni said. “I felt com-pelled to do more to highlight such a special community.”

In true collaborative spirit, Mr. Moore and Ms. Mastrianni brought the idea of an oral his-tory project to the Southern Foodways Alliance, an orga-nization based in Oxford, Miss., that documents, stud-ies and explores the diverse food cultures of the changing American South.

“There’s so much richness to Down East culture, and on Harkers Island in particular,” said Mr. Moore. “There are stories and traditions that are being lost as generations fade.”

“We wanted to preserve those stories,” Ms. Mastrianni added.

The Southern Foodways Alliance thought the project was

a perfect fit for a working collec-tion of stories about life on the waterways called “Stories of the Saltwater South.”

Over the next eight months, Mr. Moore and Ms. Mastrianni made several trips to Harkers Island to spent time with the community. They researched island history, spoke with native islanders and recorded their stories.

“The Core Sound Museum and Karen Amspacher were invaluable to our education on Harkers Island culture, and for helping us connect to the community,” said Ms. Mastrianni. “We couldn’t have done it without their help.”

The project is a portrait of the Harkers Island com-munity, sharing stories of its history, traditions, culture and, of course, its foods. It features fourth-generation fisherman Mr. Willis, shrimper Randy Wade, native islander

Emma Rose Guthrie, Seaside Restaurant owner Mile Guthrie, Coast Guard veteran Ira Lewis, fisherman Makeley Lewis and the kitchen talents of Jan Gillikin, who contrib-uted to the famous Harkers Island cookbook, Island Born and Bred.

The project is now live on the Southern Foodways Alliance website.

The project will be pre-served in the archives at the University of Mississippi for posterity.

“This has been some of the most meaningful work and has introduced me to some truly wonderful people,” said Ms. Mastrianni. “Harkers Island has a special place in my heart thank to this work, and the stories that people so freely shared with me.”

For more information on the project, visit www.south-ernfoodways.org.

Light rolls and other Harkers Island delicacies are placed on a dinner table. Harkers Island food and history are the topic of Southern Foodways Alliance’s oral history project “Stories of the Saltwater South.” The project will be discussed Thursday, Aug. 11, at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island.

The Himalayan metal and the quartz crystal singing bowls weave a tapestry of sound that offer a memorable experience that can restore, inspire and enhance a deep sense of well-being, accord-ing to the website of Bright Walker who will lead two singing bowl con-certs in Emerald Isle this month.

Concerts are scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, and 5:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26. Both will be in the Emerald Isle Parks and Recreation Community Center at 203 Leisure Lane.

The cost is $10 if registered and paid in advance or $15 at the door. Space is limited.

The singing bowls are called standing bells because, rather than hanging inverted or attached to a handle, the singing bowls rest on their bottom surfaces when played.

In the challenges of daily life, one may encounter circumstances that generate stressful responses on the physical, mental or emo-tional levels, according to Ms. Walker’s website. Techniques, such as guided imagery, medita-tion, prayer and breathing exer-cises are used to release stress and tension.

A singing bowls concert offers a positive, non-invasive way to cre-ate a deeply relaxed and peaceful state. When the bowls are played, one is immersed in beautiful sound as the soothing tones flow through all the senses. Relaxation is brought forth by the restorative resonances of the bowls.

Participants are encouraged to make themselves comfortable with a blanket, yoga mat or cush-ion, whether sitting in a chair or on the floor.

For those who may be facinglife-challenging circumstances,

the bowls are a gentle, yet power-ful way to integrate relaxation into one’s therapy as a complement to western medicine, with the inten-tion of supporting health, recovery and quality of life.

Ms. Walker performs with a variety of more than 40 bowls. A native of Chapel Hill, she has worked with integrative therapies for more than 25 years.

Her experience in complemen-tary healing includes massage therapy and acupuncture. She earned a Bachelor of Science from

Springfield College in Massachusetts.

Initially introduced to the sing-ing bowls by a sound practitioner in the late 1990s, Ms. Walker said that as she listened to the pow-erful performances, the soothing vibrations emitted from the bowls

were not only heard, but felt. After each performance, she

observed her body to be in a more relaxed state and her ener-

gy renewed and peaceful.Deeply inspired by this experi-

ence, Ms. Walker later studied and trained with notable sound practi-

tioners Cynthia Cunningham and Sylvia Pelcz, pioneer and leader in sound healing Jonathan Goldman, and Suren Shrestha and Shree

Krishna Shahi, master teachers from Nepal.

The N.C. Coastal Federation and Second Wind Eco Tours in Swansboro are teaming up to offer a summer kayak and yoga trip on the White Oak River from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 13.

Paddlers will launch from the Cedar Point recreation area of the Croatan National Forest off Highway 58 in Cedar Point. The group will paddle to Jones Island at the mouth of White Oak River, a preserved island managed by Hammocks Beach State Park.

The trip to Jones Island takes around 20 to 30 minutes and is suitable for beginner adult paddlers.

Participants will learn about

conservation and restoration projects coordinated by the park and the federation. April Clark, owner of Second Wind Eco Tours, will lead the group in a gentle yoga session under the island’s live oak trees.

“When people enjoy being on the water by playing, swim-ming or kayaking, they will have a tendency to be more protective of it,” said Ms. Clark. “Our partnership with the federation is a natural fit. Paddlers can have fun on the water while learning about our eco systems from an experi-enced educator.”

Life jackets and paddles are provided with kayak rent-als. Yoga mats are provided,

or participants can bring their own. Participants should also bring bottled water, a towel, a hat or visor, sunblock, water shoes and sunglasses. They should also wear a bathing suit for swimming on Jones Island.

Federation members get a special rate of $35 with kayak rental and $20 if they bring their own kayak. The nonmem-ber price is $45 with kayak rental and $30 if they bring their own kayak.

Reservations are required. To register, call Second Wind Eco Tours at 910-325-3600, register online at second-windecotours.com or email info@secondwindecotours.com.

A vocal workshop is being offered to any singer who wish-es to improve musical reading skills and vocal technique.

Sponsored by First Presbyterian Church and Carolina East Singers and led by Jeffrey Danielson, the Vocal Technique and Musicianship Skills for Church Choirs, Community Choirs and Congregational Singers clinic will be held Saturday, Aug. 20, in Westminster Hall of the church, at 1604 Arendell St., Morehead City.

The class will be divided between reading skills and vocal exercises and training to expand range, improve breath-ing and learn to manipulate the breaks between chest and head voice.

This workshop will start with body and vocal warm ups. During this segment, partici-pants will learn how to prepare their body for singing through a variety of exercises and vocal ètudes.

These vocal exercises will also address vocal registration and range issues. The second portion of the workshop will focus on musicianship skills that lead to more independent singers.

Participants will learn about the Takadimi rhythm system to promote higher levels of rhythm comprehension. The workshop will also cover basic tonal oral and aural skills to help develop more confident pitch interpretation.

Participants should come prepared to learn and try new things in order to broaden their musical horizons.

Mr. Danielson is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., and now resides in Havelock.

As a graduate of West Carteret High School, he received the N.C. Teaching Fellows Scholarship. He has earned his bachelor’s and mas-ter’s degrees in music educa-tion from UNC-Greensboro, where he frequently performed in opera and choral ensembles.

As part of the Beaufort Historical Association’s Living History series, Gigi Koehler will conduct a depres-sion bead demonstration from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, in the Beaufort Historic Site’s Welcome Center, 130 Turner St.

Ms. Koehler will demonstrate the way depression beads are made out of rolled paper and then strung together to create unique necklaces and bracelets.

Although they originated dur-ing the Victorian era, the beads got their name because women and girls during the Great Depression made jewelry out of paper instead of purchasing pricier items.

Despite the inexpensive source, the paper beads added a vibrant pop of color to the wearer.

The beauty of a depression bead relies on the type of paper used, as different colored and patterned paper create different variations in the design.

After paper is chosen, the bead maker cuts it into a shape depending on what type of bead is desired. It is rolled around a sewing needle, creating a tightly

wound bead with a hole in the middle.

Finally, the end of the paper is glued to the bead and varnished – a process that takes two to three days. Beads can vary from 1 to 2 centimeters in length and 0.5 to 1.5 centimeters in width.

The public is invited to observe the depression bead demonstra-tion, and admission is free.

For those with further interest, the Living History Series will offer a depression bead workshop at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 11.

The workshop is limited to 8 adults and children 10 years and up with a materials fee of $25.

Ms. Koehler will incorporate the skills learned through the demonstration in a one-on-one workshop where participants will enjoy the chance to create a piece of depression bead jewelry.

For information on this and other Living History Programs, stop by the Beaufort Historical Association Welcome Center at 130 Turner St., call 252-728-5225 or 800-575-7483, or visit www.beauforthistoricsite.org.

Depression beads will be discussed during the Beaufort Historical Association’s next living history class. The demonstration is from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, with a depression bead workshop at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 11. (Contributed photo)

There will be an informal ses-sion of Irish traditional music at Trent River Coffee Co. in New Bern on Tuesday, Aug. 9.

The session tradition is a vital part of the Irish musical tradition. The New Bern session, which has been held monthly since 1998, is locally known as “The Irish Minstrels” and usually includes such instruments as button accor-dion, fiddle, guitar and flute.

The repertoire includes Irish jigs, reels, hornpipes and songs. Audience members are welcome to sing along and sit in.

Trent River Coffee Co. is at 208 Craven St. in New Bern.

The music usually starts around 7 p.m., and the venue will close at 9 p.m. There is no door charge, though donations for the musi-cians are always welcome.

For details, call 252-514-2030.

Irish music session offered at Trent River Coffee Co.

This month, the New Bern-Craven Public Library will present work by the the Coastal Photo Club.

The exhibit runs from Thursday, Aug. 4, to Wednesday, Aug. 31, with the reception at 7 p.m. Aug. 4. The reception is open to the public and is a great way to meet the artists.

Instead of displaying one artist’s vision, the exhibit will show imag-

es created by numerous photog-raphers. The art works will range from high art monochromatics to wildly stylized images of fantasy in full color.
