The Dog Days might be upon us, but that’s no reason to let the heat get you beat.

“GI Blues” – the third install-ment in the Webb Memorial Library’s “Summer of Elvis” film series, is set to roll on Thursday, Aug. 18, at the library, 812 Evans St. in Morehead City. Show time is 7 p.m.

Tickets are $5 at the door, and refreshments will be available. All proceeds benefit the library and its programs.

“GI Blues” was Elvis’ first post-Army film feature following his discharge in 1960.

Directed by Norman Taurog, the cast includes Elvis, Juliet Prouse and Robert Ivers in a musical romp that includes the title track, “Tonight is So Right for Love,” “Wooden Heart,” “Blue Suede Shoes” and more.

The plot involves Elvis as Army specialist Tulsa McLean, who decides to open a nightclub with a few of his buddies once they

return stateside from Germany. But the problem is getting a bank-roll together to finance the club, so a wager is made as to who can seduce the hard-to-get cabaret dancer (Ms. Prouse).

This showing of “GI Blues” is timely because Elvis passed away just two days earlier on Aug. 16, 1977, at the relatively young age of 42.

In honor of the King’s legendary and enduring appeal, the Webb Library scheduled the “Summer of Elvis” film series.

Earlier movies were “Love Me Tender,” shown June 30, and “Jailhouse Rock,” shown July 21.

The series concludes with a bang on Thursday, Sept., 22, with a screening of Elvis’ “1968 Comeback Special,” which first aired on NBC-TV on Dec. 3, 1968.

The Billboard Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock cites the “68 Comeback Special” as one of the most celebrated moments in pop music broadcast history.”

For more information, call the Webb Memorial Library at 252-726-3012.

Beat the heat and enlist with Elvis: ‘GI Blues’ at library

“GI Blues” will be shown next in Webb Memorial Library’s “Summer of Elvis” film series. The screening, which costs $5 at the door, will start at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, at the library in Morehead City. (File photo)

Wait: How did this happen? How did a remake of the 1977 Disney animation/live-action hybrid “Pete’s Dragon,” a pushy mediocrity from tip to tail, become the most soulful film of the summer, and one of the best of the year?

In terms of story, director David Lowery’s version shares only two things with the ‘77 model. Pete’s an orphan. And the title is still “Pete’s Dragon,” which indicates there’s a drag-on (beautifully, digitally realized this time, as opposed to ani-mated). So, all right, make that three things.

Disney is notoriously resistant about releasing any sort of pro-duction budget figures for any of its products. But I’m guessing that Mr. Lowery worked with a large, but not insane, amount of money. Enough to make it look like it looks, which is beautiful; but not so much that Disney expected a dumber, blander

sort of entertainment.If you’re a major studio, you

don’t hire the director who made the Texas crime story “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” and expect pablum. For those who saw that film three years ago, it was obvious the director was a large talent-in-the-making.

Now he has made a larger, very different movie without losing his instincts, directorial stealth or ability to finesse his actors’ performances, in this case in the vicinity of an ach-ingly expressive and unexpect-edly furry dragon with a little bit of bulldog in him.

The movie means business, right from the start. An eerily quiet prologue shows young Pete in a station wagon with his parents. Within seconds, a deer crosses the road, and in hushed slow motion, the car flips over, and only Pete survives the acci-dent.

Then, seconds after that, in the woods, the orphan boy hears a rustle: This is the fabled Millhaven dragon of local folk-

lore, and he comforts his new-found human friend.

Narrator Robert Redford, relaying some dragon lore to a group of children, clues us in to this maybe-world of dragons lurking in the Pacific Northwest forest (the movie was shot in New Zealand). After the puppy in Pete’s treasured memento of his old life, “Elliot Gets Lost,” he names the dragon Elliot.

Six years later, the boy is 10 and living like Mowgli in “The Jungle Book,” in a treehouse borrowed from “The Swiss Family Robinson.”

This largely wordless first third of the film is magic. The rest of “Pete’s Dragon” con-cerns how Pete is discovered and what happens when Pete and Elliot are confronted by the civilized human world populat-ed by the citizens of the logging community.

Bryce Dallas Howard plays Grace, the forest ranger who finds Pete, who is played by the wonderfully named Oakes Fegley. Grace has grown up

hearing one too many dragon stories from her father, the genial eccentric portrayed by Mr. Redford in one of his finest late-career turns.

Wes Bentley is the ranger’s fiancé, whose daughter (Oona Laurence) becomes Pete’s entry into the town. Karl Urban is the Bentley character’s brother, a scowler and a quasi-adversary, who early on encounters the often-invisible and then sud-denly, scarily visible dragon and becomes his predator.

I know, it sounds dorky. But Mr. Lowery and his co-writer, Toby Halbrooks, don’t treat it that way. There’s an unusual pace and a quiet focus to the best of “Pete’s Dragon,” and because the dragon growls and purrs and grunts but, thankfully, doesn’t speak, the relationship between boy and winged ser-pent is conveyed largely through brief, one-sided conversations.

We lean into this movie. At a recent preview screening, full of kids, the atmosphere was excep-tionally quiet and engaged, until

the applause greeting various moments in the action climax, with its attendant reunions and farewells.

A few caveats. After a seri-ously transporting first half, the second half is more conven-tional in its narrative beats. By design, the cruelest moment arrives right on top of an excep-tionally tender one, and it’s exploitative in a way the rest of the movie isn’t. Still, compared with the old “Pete’s Dragon” and its miserable slapstick and peppy songs sung by abusive parents, this is another, higher realm of emotional engage-ment.

Ideas and motifs borrowed from “Bambi,” “E.T.,” “The Jungle Book,” “The Iron Giant” and many more float through the film. Mr. Lowery’s design-ers locate the action two or three decades ago, without overdoing it. This is one of the season’s most heartening sur-prises.

“Pete’s Dragon’ is rated three and a half stars out of four.

Mango love:Many foods are delicious, some invite

cravings and a few inspire passion. In traditional Mexican cuisine, one surpris-ing ingredient embodies all three: the mango.

In Mexico, it’s common for people to eat mangos every day, not only for their deliciously juicy flavor, but also for the health benefits they provide.

One cup of mango contains 100 calo-ries and a full day’s worth of vitamin C, along with vitamin A, fiber and more than 20 other vitamins and minerals, while excluding cholesterol, sodium and fat.

In fact, for many Mexicans, mangos are

as basic to taste memories as apples are to Americans.

“I remember mangos practically from my birth,” said Ricardo MuÒoz Zurita, chef at Azul Restaurantes in Mexico City. “I’m originally from Tabasco and Veracruz, in the southeastern part of Mexico, two of the leading states for growing and eat-ing mangos. I’ve always been surrounded by mangos, ever since I was a kid, so the mango is the first fruit I really remem-ber.”

Some mangos are so tender they are difficult to eat except out of hand, but the golden Ataulfo mango has a creamy texture, often described as “buttery,” that holds up well to slicing or dicing. Its smooth, almost avocado-like texture and

mildly tart sweetness make it adaptable to many cuisines, providing a comple-ment to the spice and complexity of Mexican food.

Mango salsa or mango guacamole is great with chicken, pork and fish, the primary proteins of Mexico. Mango slices balance out the starch of rice, beans and corn, and the simple flavor combination of mangos, chiles, limes and salt is iconi-cally Mexican.

In this tropical take on guacamole, the mango’s sweetness brightens the richness of avocado.

To emulate the flavor and texture of MuÒoz Zurita’s recipe, use caution when mashing the fruits to maintain bite-size cubes of creamy mango and avocado.

Music legends Billy Joel and John Elton will be honored at Carteret Community Theatre on Friday, Aug. 19, during a special tribute concert.

The “Face to Face Tribute Show” is a staged recreation of the classic “Elton John and Billy Joel Show.”

The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $20-30 depend-ing on seating.

Joey Riedel and Michael John have joined together to create the ultimate tribute show.

It is a three-hour perfor-mance featuring all of the hits from both legendary artists.

According to the “Face to Face” website, each artist per-forms a solo set with a five to six-piece rock n’ roll band and then finishes the show with a “face to face” set, which features both men playing together on two pianos trad-ing off lyrics on each song they perform.

The show has had sold out shows at The House of Blues, in Myrtle Beach, The Fillmore, in Charlotte, and many other theaters around the country.

Mr. John found out early that he had the voice of Billy Joel.

He landed a performance playing with the world famous “Legends in Concert” portray-ing the Billy Joel.

After his time with Legends, Mr. John appeared on national television twice on the FOX network’s “Performing As:” tal-ent show as Billy Joel receiving great reviews for his perfor-mances.

In addition to his Billy Joel and “Face to Face” shows, he has been performing dueling piano shows across the coun-try and at the world famous Bar at Times Square dueling piano bar at New York, N.Y., Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev., for more than a decade.

Dueling pianos is a high energy, audience interactive show where the audience is just as much a part of the show as the performers.

For more information on dueling pianos, visit Mr. John’s dueling piano website, www.duelingvegaspianos.com

Mr. Riedel has been a per-former for most of his life, starting at performing for his junior high school dance with his first band at the age of 14.

Elton John is his main influ-ence.

Billy Joel, Elton John tribute show slated Friday

Through the years, Mr. Riedel has grown into an Elton John fan and knows every song, vocal, backing vocal and instrument part

inside and out. He has been performing at

the world’s famous dueling pianos in Las Vegas, Nev., for the past 12 years.

He has travelled across the globe adding more and more successful Elton John tributes and satisfied fans and private events under his belt.

For more information about the tribute artists and the “Face to Face” show, visit www.billyjoeleltonjohntrib-ute.com.

Beaufort Wine & Food will thank its members, sponsors and volunteers and announce the organizations that were selected to receive funding from its annual grant cycle at its semi-annual Membership Appreciation event.

The event is from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 23, at Beaufort Grocery Co., 117 Queen St., in Beaufort. Reservations are requested.

The celebration will feature heavy hors d’oeuvres, wine and beer served at Beaufort Grocery Co. and adjacent patio garden. During the event, Beaufort Wine & Food will recognize represen-tatives from the charities and organizations who were select-ed to receive funding from the 2016 Grant Program.

“Our Community Enrichment Grant Program is just one of the ways we give back to the com-munity throughout the year,” said Lindsay Parker, Beaufort Wine & Food Executive Director.

The grant program started in 2015 as a way for Beaufort Wine & Food to invite area non-profits and charities to apply for funding of projects that enrich the communities along the Crystal Coast and serve Carteret County.

From the 2016 April festival alone, Beaufort Wine & Food was able to donate over $50,000 to 10 organizations.

“The energy and dedication of our volunteers and members and the generosity and sup-port from our sponsors all come together and allow us to put on amazing events throughout the year,” said Ms. Parker.

Beaufort Wine & Food began as a weekend event in April 2004 and has evolved into an organization that holds fund raising events year round. Since its inception, the organization raised more than $575,000 for area nonprofits and charities serving the county.

“The August appreciation event gives our members, vol-unteers and sponsors a first-hand look at what they helped accomplish through their con-tinued support,” Ms. Parker said.

Memberships were initiat-ed in 2013 to encourage con-tinuing participation and to acknowledge those who regu-larly attend and support the fundraising events.

Here’s How It Works:Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken

down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. 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!

The Arts Council of Carteret County will receive $22,121 to help fund arts programs and administrative support as part of the new state budget.

The budget signed by Gov. Pat McCrory will allow the N.C. Arts Council to support an arts infrastructure across North Carolina, including arts programs in all 100 counties funded through the Grassroots Arts Program, with more than $7.1 million in grants.

“This funding will further support the arts, which are a

catalyst for economic develop-ment, tourism and overall qual-ity of life in North Carolina,” said Gov. McCrory. “The work of local arts councils helps make North Carolina global destination where people want to live, work and visit.”

In fiscal 2016 -17, N.C. Arts Council grants will support more than 340 arts organiza-tions, individuals, schools and other nonprofit groups that sponsor arts programs or arts-driven economic development projects.

Boost in arts funding to benefit all NC countiesGrant funds come from both

legislative appropriation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

“Arts have sparked eco-nomic development across the state,” said Natural and Cultural Resources Secretary Susan Kluttz. “These grants mean more jobs and a better quality of life.”

The budget invests an addi-tional $500,000 in the Grassroots Arts Program. Nationally recog-nized for its per capita distribu-tion formula that allows local decision-making on arts pro-gramming, the Grassroots funds support the sustainability of a network of local arts councils

across the state.“For nearly 50 years the

North Carolina Arts Council has invested in artists and arts organizations,” said Wayne Martin, executive director of the N.C. Arts Council. “The result is a diverse arts infra-structure that is one of the most extensive in our nation, reaching into all 100 counties of the state.”

The N.C. Arts Council will continue to invest in the SmART Initiative, a program that uses the arts to transform downtowns and fuel econom-ic development. A grant was awarded to support the imple-mentation of a Highway 19E

Gateway Art Plan in Burnsville created by Seattle-based artist Jack Mackie in collaboration with a variety of local glass art-ists and the N.C. Department of Transportation.

“The SmART Initiative influ-ences business development, inspires downtown revitaliza-tion and historic preserva-tion, builds community pride of place and stimulates the growth of more creative businesses,” said Ms. Kluttz. “Government and the private sector work together in com-munities large and small to ensure that North Carolina

continues to be a place where businesses want to be, people want to live and visitors want to explore.”

Funds that support rural communities include several arts in education programs, such as the popular Traditional Arts Programs for Students and Junior Appalachian Musicians, an afterschool program where students receive music instruc-tion taught by traditional string band musicians, Seagrove pot-ters, or African-American jazz musicians. cARTwheels, a per-

forming arts touring and resi-dency program that provides in-depth exposure to arts, will take place in 15 venues.

Grant awards are recom-mended by panels of civic leaders and arts experts based on artistic merit, benefit of the project to the state’s citizens and the applicant’s organiza-tional strength and capacity.

Recommendations are reviewed by the N.C. Arts Council Board and forwarded to Ms. Kluttz for final approv-al.

As part of the Beaufort Historical Association’s Living History series, Ashley Sullivan will conduct a felt-ing workshop from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, in the Beaufort Historic Site’s Welcome Center, 130 Turner St.

The art of making felt by rolling and beating animal hair and wool into a compact mass of even consistency is assur-edly older than the art of spin-ning and weaving, which was a popular textile production skill in the 1700s according to www.history.org.

BHA to host felting workshopSome sources say that

ancient Iraqis-Sumerians may have been the first to dis-cover felt when they put small pieces of wool fleece in their sandals to combat blisters.

After some wear, they found they had made a sort of crude sock from the combina-tion of heat, perspiration and the agitation of running and walking.

For centuries, native cul-tures all over the world have adopted felt for all manner of items, including clothes, shoes and even dwellings.

Join Mrs. Sullivan at the

felting workshop to learn more about what felting is, how it is done and how to cre-ate felt flowers.

Participants in the class will have a choice of weights and colors of already felted wool pieces and various flower and leaf patterns to choose from.

Thread and pins will be pro-vided; participants will need to bring fabric scissors, paper scissors, a pencil and two sharp needles.

The workshop carries a materials fee of $10 and is limited to 10 participants.

For information on this and

other Living History Programs, stop by the Beaufort Historical Association Welcome Center,

call 252-728-5225 or 800-575-7483, or visit www.beaufor-thistoricsite.org.

Ashley Sullivan will host a felting workshop at the Beaufort Historic Site as part of the Living History series. The workshop is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, and participants will create a felted flower to take home along with learning a new skill. (Contributed photo)

The U.S. Power Squadrons local Crystal Coast Boating Club, the Fort Macon Sail and Power Squadron, invites the public to attend an advanced course on piloting their boat on coastal and inland waters, generally in sight of land, using navigation aids and objects on land, which may appear on a navigation chart of a boating area.

The class will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6, in the CMAST building in Morehead City.

Each week’s class will run for two hours.

Piloting is the first course in the sequence of U.S. Power Squadron courses on naviga-tion, covering the basics of coastal and inland navigation.

This course focuses on navigation as it is done on recreational boats today and embraces GPS as a primary navigation tool while cover-ing enough of traditional tech-niques so the student will be able to find his or her way even if their GPS fails.
