NEWS-TIMESBoy Scouts of America pro-

vides young boys with oppor-tunities to learn responsibility and other important life lessons while having fun, but the future for a local Scout district hangs in the balance.

Because of changes in fund-ing over the last several years, the Croatan Trails District, which serves Carteret and east-ern Craven counties, committee members are seeking help in funding and volunteer time from local businesses and community members.

At a recent meeting held at the Boy Scout hut in Newport, Jessica Hult, troop leader and membership chairman on the Croatan Trails District Committee, Dr. Darden Eure, volunteer for the district, and Doug Brown Jr., Scout execu-tive, met to discuss the future of Croatan Trails, and what they needed in order to have a suc-cessful program.

Ms. Hult is concerned with the future of Scouting in the Croatan Trails District.

“I think we need to educate the community on how much Scouting does for the commu-nity, to engage the community’s involvement to help our Scouting because we desperately need it,”

Ms. Hult said.The Croatan Trails District is

part of the East Carolina Council in the National Council of Boy Scouts in Texas.

It currently has 546 Scouts in the program ranging from Cub Scouts to Eagle Scouts. Each Scout helps the community in different ways.

“All Scouting ranks have dif-ferent requirements,” Mr. Brown said. “One of the requirements for an Eagle Scout is to do a community service project that benefits the community. The Scout picks the project, plans it and designs it. He executes and demonstrates leadership. That’s what it is all about: exercising leadership.”

Ms. Hult also added that 25 percent of Eagle Scout projects benefit county public schools.

The Croatan Trail District hosts Troop 130 of Morehead City, one of the areas largest troops in the East Carolina Council, and wilderness camp, Camp Sam Hatcher.

“Sam Hatcher has sundew plants, Venus flytraps and Pitcher plants,” Ms. Hult said. “It’s right in the Croatan National Forest, and it’s an incredible educational opportunity for these boys.”

Help is needed from the com-munity to make these programs available for the Scouts.

There are three levels of lead-

Boy Scout leaders seek help from community members

ership, which are the council, district and the business com-munity.

“We at the district level are open and dependent upon finan-

cial support and volunteer ser-vices from our community at large,” Dr. Eure said. “We are now in the process of establish-ing a slate of officers for the

2016-17 Croatan Trails District Committee. We are looking for volunteers and business to help

While burgers and brats are the traditional tailgating fare and have their place on the menu, sometimes you need to mix things up when preparing that game day spread.

For easy, delicious entertain-ing, add Sabra Hummus to the tailgate menu. Available in more than a dozen appetizing flavors and made with fresh chickpeas and a touch of garlic and tahini, hummus is the perfect smooth and creamy accompaniment for chips, crackers, veggies and even tailgating favorites like chicken wings and burgers.

Start the game day crowd off with a 7-layer hummus dip, the perfect blend of hummus, Greek yogurt, vegetables and cheese, and then serve up a hearty batch of Basil Pesto Hummus Pasta Salad, a main course sure to delight the home fans and bring them back week after week.

For more tasty ideas on how to include hummus in your pre-game lineup, rush on over to sabra.com/recipes.

BY LINDSEY BAHR

ASSOCIATED PRESSCan a great third act make a

great film? Conventional wis-dom would say no. It’s silly to spell out, but beginnings and middles are important, too.

But if you’re going to nail one section, the end isn’t a bad place to start. The audience leaves invigorated, and, in a best case scenario, has already forgotten the slog it took to get there.

“The Walk,” a fictionalized rendering of Philippe Petit’s 1974 high-wire stroll between the World Trade Center tow-ers, doesn’t entirely disprove the rule, but it certainly makes a seductive case.

Director Robert Zemeckis and cinematographer Dariusz Wolski have made a truly extraordinary and breathtaking 40 minutes of cinema, preceded by a mostly forgettable, cloyingly whimsical hour and change.

The stunt, which the gang refers to as “the coup,” is one for the cinematic ages. Mr. Zemeckis and Mr. Wolski take the camera to unprecedent-ed angles to make you feel like you are really standing between the 110 story towers. It’s an undeniable, sweaty-palmed thrill walking above the clouds with Petit (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), full of tension and triumph.

The final sequence could have been enough for a film, but “The Walk” is more con-ventional than it might seem. It languishes for too long on origins of Petit’s obsession with wire-walking and the high rise towers, playing up his quirkiness and eccentrici-ties for whimsy, not the story.

The beginning is shot like a fever dream of top hats, circus tents and unicycles. And, of course, there are the requi-site underdeveloped charac-ters – a curmudgeonly mentor

(Ben Kingsley) and supportive girlfriend (Charlotte Le Bon) – to accompany him along the way.

Mr. Gordon-Levitt, sport-ing fake blue eyes and a thick French accent, embraces the manic showiness and near sociopathy of Petit – an artist with complete tunnel vision. It’s an interesting, all-out per-formance that still doesn’t go much deeper than surface level. That’s because the film would rather treat this real life oddity like a fanciful fairy tale. Everyone seems like a character out of “Alice in Wonderland.”

Structurally, the film choos-es to let Petit narrate his own story, literally from the top of the Statue of Liberty with the towers gleaming in the back-ground.

Though most likely know the outcome, this post game voiceover strips away some of the inherent drama, and looks

fairly cheesy, too.That’s why it’s such a relief

when the coup begins in ear-nest. Everything takes a turn for the dramatic – even the music.

Beyond the walk itself, the joy of the third act comes not from trying to comprehend the why, but in documenting the how of it all. The energy even gets an adrenaline boost when James Badge Dale enters the frame as J.P., a magnetic, French-speaking New Yorker who brings an authentic levity and vitality to the film not a minute too soon.

Clément Sibony stands out in the supporting cast as Petit’s closest ally, and César Domboy is fun, too, as a math whiz who’s deathly afraid of heights. Ms. Le Bon, though lovely and restrained, gets eaten by the over-the-topness of everything else. The band of weirdos trope starts to wear thin, too, even though the cari-

catures are somewhat true to real life.

“The Walk” isn’t nearly as elegant, grand, or informative as James Marsh’s 2008 docu-mentary masterpiece “Man on Wire,” but that doesn’t make it redundant or unnecessary – “The Walk” serves its cine-matic purpose by showing you something that you’ve never seen before, from perspectives that seem as impossible as the stunt itself. Mr. Zemeckis just chose for too long to luxuri-ate in the fantasy of it all, when the reality was more than enough.

“The Walk,” a Sony Pictures Entertainment release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “thematic elements involving perilous situations, and for some nudity, language, brief drug references and smoking.” Running time: 123 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Review: ‘The Walk’ earns its keep with spectacular third act

provide funding and time.”The district committee is

responsible for behind-the-scenes work. They coordinate events, arrange fundraisers and help train leaders.

“We need someone from the community to step up and take leadership,” Ms. Hult said. “If we can’t find someone to fill these positions, the Croatan Trails District is at risk. The better lead-ership we have, the better program we can provide.”

To help support the Croatan Trails District, contact Dr. Eure at [email protected] with the subject of Scouting.

Each October, the Beaufort Historical Association celebrates the arrival of fall with an annual Fall Party.

The tradition continues at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at the home of Charlie and Martha Harrell, 909 Front St.

The Harrells’ waterfront home sits much closer to the street and Taylor’s Creek than the surround-ing houses. It was built to recre-ate the historic appearance of the Beaufort Historical Association’s John C. Manson House.

The original builder, Charles Barnes, mimicked the construc-tion of the restored Federal-era home so that the home was con-sidered by some local histori-ans to be architecturally pure in the distinctive style of Beaufort houses.

Placing the house toward the front of the lot, ahead of its neigh-bors, was a decision not made by Mr. Barnes but rather by Mrs. Davis who owned the lot earlier.

BHA to host annual Fall Party

That home was torn down, and Mr. Barnes chose to build his John C. Manson house replica on the same footprint of Mrs. Davis’ house. Some of the architectural elements that Mr. Barnes bor-rowed for his home include the Manson house roofline, double porches and the nine-over-nine windows. The house is actually 9 feet wider than the restored home on the Beaufort Historic Site.

To allow for this extra space, the design has been changed from a left hall to a center hall. The façade still maintains the door and two windows upstairs and down.

Mr. Barnes sold the home to John Lampros before construc-tion was completed. The exterior work was done but the home was a shell with no interior work begun.

In keeping with the theme of an historic yet new home, the

Lampros family installed wide floorboards and had much of the woodwork done by hand. After these renovations the house was sold to the Harrells in 2005.

They continued renovating the home, adding dormer windows to the third floor of the home, which boasts a loft and a far-reaching view out Beaufort Inlet.

There is a wealth of history surrounding the area where the Harrells house stands. One of the oldest homes in Beaufort once stood on the back of the lot. There are stories of the local Beaufort militia hiding out on the lot during the Revolutionary War.

This home is a remarkable image of early building prac-tices in Beaufort. As a modern construction, this house accu-rately reflects the appearance of

Every fall, the Beaufort Historical Association combines the backdrop of a waterfront home, delectable food, great music and the beautiful paintings of a selected artist for the Fall Party, an annual fundraiser.

This year’s artist is Susan B. Hecht, of Apex, and her work will be featured in the 909 Front

St. home of Charlie and Martha Ann Harrell on Saturday, Oct. 17. Beaufort Grocery Co. will cater the event.

According to Ms. Hecht, cap-turing moments is the inspiration behind her painting.

moment she views a peaceful landscape, the spirit of people in their moments or the beauty of everyday objects that many may not give a moment’s notice to.

“There is beauty in everything,” Ms. Hecht said. “I enjoy highlight-ing it.”

Ms. Hecht tries not to label her style of painting. She has always believed the focus should be on the process of painting, not the painting itself.

She has been sharing her art since 2007, and it can be seen at her studio in Apex, the Tyler White Gallery in Greensboro, ArtSource in Raleigh, Baxter Fine Art in New Bern, Edward Dare in Charleston, S.C., the Sandpiper Gallery on Sullivan’s Island, S.C., and in the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery.

To kick off the Fall Party week-

end, Ms. Hecht will host a work-shop Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 14 and 15, on the Beaufort Historic Site grounds where she will work with a small group on color mixing and still-life painting.

On Thursday, Oct. 15, the grounds will open to the sponsors of the Fall Party for a private view-ing of Ms. Hecht’s artwork.

After the Fall Party, Ms. Hecht’s artwork can be seen at the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery in the historic Rustell House, circa 1732, on the Beaufort Historic Site. It is the oldest art gallery in the county. Open year-round, it contains only original work by local and region-al artists, inspired by the coast.

NEWS-TIMESLast year, at the 60th anniver-

sary Swansboro Mullet Festival, it snowed, thanks to the miracles of modern technology and a Tri-angle-area company hired by the Swansboro Festivals Committee to provide a special treat for snow-starved coastal residents and visitors.

“This year,” said festival direc-tor Judy Hailey, “it’s not going to snow,” unless Ma Nature gets a wild hair and provides it. “But we are doing our best ‘no-rain’ dance.”

That remark, which was made on Sept. 30, was in reference to the weather forecast for Oct. 3-4, the weekend before the Mullet Festival, which is set for Satur-day, Oct. 10 and Sunday, Oct. 11, on the waterfront and adjacent downtown streets.

“We have endured bad weath-er before, but it certainly isn’t anything we want,” Ms. Hailey said. “Pretty much everything for our festival is set, except for the weather.”

Indeed, the 61st festival, while not quite as big in scope as last year’s special 60th anniversary special – no fireworks this year, either – looks like a blast.

The festival is open from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

There’s going to be wall-to-wall entertainment, highlighted

by beach music, provided by the legendary Tams, who will perform from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Saturday, and by Jim Quick and the Coastline Band, who will perform from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Another featured performer is Carl Newton and the Fifth Avenue Band, who will perform from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. They provide a remarkably versatile outfit that includes some “beach” in its repertoire. Others sched-uled are Ken Knox and Co., who will perform from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, and the Holiday Band, who will perform from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday.

Also during the festival, there will be vendors selling unique items.

The call for vendors is cur-rently full, and Ms. Hailey said she is still getting calls from people who want to participate.

The constraints of the rela-tively small festival area along the waterfront and the streets that lead to it, mean that the committee can pack in “only” 125 to 130 vendors, Ms. Hailey said, but as always there will be an incredible variety, with arts and crafts of every type avail-able, along with a smorgasbord of food, coastal and otherwise.

The biggest change this year is the way organizers are going to get people in and out of the festival ground.

Instead of running two shuttles from the parking lot at Swansboro Middle School, near the intersection of Highway 24 and Queens Creek Road, there will be three shuttles, all from the Wards Farm property behind

the Hampton Inn at Highway 24 and Old Hammocks Road.

“This ought to enable us to move people in and out faster, since this site is much closer to the festival,” Ms. Hailey said. The shuttles, in fact, won’t have to move through the traffic that is always heavy along the west-ern stretch of the highway.

“The most important thing to us is the safety and convenience of our patrons,” she said.

People will be able to ride in comfort and with great con-venience. The shuttles will run every 15 minutes or so, depend-ing on how long it takes to load and unload, throughout the festival.

“We’re very grateful to John Freshwater, (the property owner of Wards Farm) for doing this for us,” Ms. Hailey said.

As of presstime, the festival parade, set for 9 a.m. Saturday, was also filling up nicely, Ms. Hailey added, with Paul Donnel-ly, recently retired superinten-

dent of Hammocks Beach State Park, serving as grand marshal.

Of course, the aroma of the festival’s namesake and inspira-tion, the exalted mullet, will waft over the site, as always, with the Jacksonville Rotary Club doing the cooking.

There will be plenty of mul-let to go around, and those who worry about fish stocks needn’t do so, in this case.

According to the N.C. Divi-sion of Marine Fisheries, the lat-est stock assessment list the mul-let as “viable” – the state’s top classification – with no danger of overfishing or stock depletion at this time.

In 2014, commercial water-men landed 1,825 million pounds of the fish, worth $1.1 million.

All in all, Ms. Hailey said, “Everything is looking good and we’re ready for a great mullet festival. We want people to come and have a great time and sup-port our vendors.”

As always, no dogs, skate-boards or bicycles will be allowed in the festival area. The entire festival area will be closed to traffic, with barricades at the street ends, for safety reasons.

For more information about the festival, call 910-326-7370 or visit www.swansborofestivals.com.

Crowds are set to line the streets of downtown Swansboro for the annual Mullet Festival. This year’s festival is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, and 9 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 11. (Contributed photo)

Beginning Oct. 5, hundreds of area fourth-grade students are scheduled to participate in inter-active Colonial history activi-ties during Beaufort Historical Association’s Harvest Time.

From Oct. 5-9 and Oct. 12-16, students will rotate through hands-on learning stations where volunteers and docents dressed in Colonial attire discuss and demon-strate a wide variety of educational activities.

Beaufort Historical Association’s educational com-mittee presents the popular annual event, which demonstrates the life of Beaufort families in the 1700s and 1800s.

Activities will include food preservation, where children will learn about herbs and techniques such as drying and smoking meat; candle dipping, where children will get to take home the candle they create; woodworking, which involves shingle making; and corn harvesting, where techniques will be demonstrated on site.

Harvest Time is designed to be an extension of what is being taught in the fourth-grade class-room because of the inclusion of N.C. history in that grade’s stan-dard course of study. The event is offered to public, private and home-schooled classes in Carteret and surrounding counties.

Harvest Time to feature Colonial fun

Q. We were using dip nets over a rocky area close to shore and caught what looked like a shrimp, but it didn’t look like any shrimp we’d ever seen before. It had white and red stripes and was much smaller than regular shrimp. We threw it back. Any idea what it was?

A. There are many kinds of shrimp and your description fits a banded coral shrimp, a type of cleaner shrimp.

This candy-colored crusta-cean lives in reef and rocky areas. It uses its small claws to

remove parasites from fishes that come to these areas to feed, rest or sometimes specifi-cally to get cleaned of irritat-ing, parasitic hitchhikers. Such areas are sometimes referred to as “cleaning stations.” The little banded shrimp will also clean damaged tissue around injuries.

The coral shrimp’s color-ful white body and red-striped claws, which are sometimes bordered in purple, earned it names such as banded boxer, barber pole and bandanna

prawn. It has two pair of long, white hair-like antennae and walking legs, and some parts of its body are translucent. One pair of legs has larger claws that break off easily but can be regenerated.

Compared to commercial shrimp, which can measure 6, 8 or even as much as 11 inches in length, the banded coral shrimp is much smaller – usually 2-5 inches long depending on spe-cies. It prefers warm waters and can be found at depths of 3 to 130 feet.

Discover more facts about North Carolina’s aquatic envi-ronments and inhabitants by visiting the aquariums at Pine Knoll Shores, on Roanoke Island, at Fort Fisher or Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head.

Some marine creatures, like this banded coral shrimp, are considered “cleaners” because they supplement their diets by cleaning parasites from other animals. (Contributed photo)

The N.C. Coastal Federation is recruiting volunteers to help plant salt marsh grasses at its most recent wetland restoration phase at North River Farms, near Smyrna.

The planting will take place from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21.

North River Farms is a 6,000-acre tract of farmland that the federation and its multiple part-ners, members and community volunteers have been working to preserve and restore back to forested, freshwater and tidal wetlands since 1999.

This wetland restoration project is one of the largest in North Carolina and among the largest project of its kind in the nation. About 3,000 acres of farmland have already been restored to wetlands and another 1,200 acres of existing forested wetlands and marshes have been preserved in perpetuity.

Wetland restoration of the remaining 1,800 acres of farm-land on the property is ongoing and will be completed by 2017.

The federation is currently working on a three-acre tidal marsh and floodplain restora-

tion at the headwaters of Ward Creek through a N.C. Attorney General’s Environmental Enhancement Grant.

The salt marsh restoration was designed by Kris Bass Engineering, PLLC and the excavation was completed by Backwater Environmental, Inc. in August 2015.

The first round of planting was performed by Carolina Silvics Inc. in early September. This volunteer planting event will complete this restoration phase.

The restored marsh will help

to capture, filter and reduce the flow of polluted and sediment-laden agricultural runoff into Ward Creek and North River, helping to improve water qual-ity with the hopes of eventually reopening these waters to shell-fish harvest. The salt marsh will also provide valuable habitat for fish, crabs and waterfowl.

For more information and to register, visit the events page at www.nccoast.org. Registration is required for planning pur-poses and to contact volunteers with any event changes.

The N.C. Coastal Federation is

a nonprofit membership orga-nization that works to keep the coast of North Carolina a great place to live, work and play.

Through a variety of pro-grams and partnerships, the fed-eration provides for clean coast-al waters and habitats, advocates to protect the coast and teaches and informs people about the coast and what they can do to protect it.

The federation operates offices in Ocean, Manteo and Wrightsville Beach.

To learn more, visit nccoast.org or call 252-393-8185.

Before the cruise, there will be a short, educational pro-gram. This is a free refresher on what the square green and triangular red placards in the water on telephone poles mean and will explain the system of buoys, ranges and beacons marking the channel.

Those interested should reg-ister at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at the Sanitary Fish Market and Restaurant at 501 Evans St. in

Morehead City.The class begins at 3 p.m.

After the class, participants will be treated to a seafood din-ner. At 6 p.m. participants will board the Carolina Princess at the Morehead City docks for the cruise.

The vessel will go out and return before sunset and repeat the same trip after dusk when aids to navigation are lighted. Participants will be able to see how different the aids look.

The cost is $50 for the class, dinner and cruise. For those between the ages of 7 and 16, the class is $25. For more information, contact David L Aitken by email at [email protected] or by phone at 252-503-7124, or by mail to Navigation Cruise, P.O. Box 1403, Morehead City, N.C. 28557.

16There is no better place to spend

the weekend with the family than in historic downtown New Bern during the annual Mumfest.

Mumfest, which is held Friday-Sunday, Oct. 9-11, is going to be really big this year with a con-cert on Friday night a boat show, an art exhibit and 300 plus ven-dors. The weekend will feature nonstop action with high flyingac-robats, dance troupes, magicians and the ever-popular amusement park rides.

Mumfesters will find music, dancing, great shopping, delicious food, magicians, street performers and more filling the heart of New Bern’s historic downtown and riv-erfront.

There will be lots of excit-ing new entertainment includ-ing Down to Earth Aerial Acrobatics and the Yo-YoGuy, who holds four Guinness records, Art in the Park with artists from across North Carolina and a pirate ship.

Old favorites will also be fea-tured at the festival.

Alex Clark is a world traveled circus-trained comedian who jug-gles flames and climbs the 10-foot ladder of “doom.”

The high-flying Purina Incredible Dog Team, made up of rescues, will also be back to per-

form free-style disc routines set to music.

Children of all ages line up to watch the Gabardine Sisters, Poly and Ester. This puppet show has become such a favorite that chil-dren know the names of the pup-pets and their antics.

Storyteller Steve Myott will use huge masks to demonstrate his stories with music and comedy.

New Bern’s original fire station on Broad Street will be open just in time for Mumfest. It’s history, both during and after the Civil War, and the valiant fight against the fire that nearly destroyed downtown New Bern is something everyone should learn.

The new Fire Safety House will be open to the public during Mumfest. The U.S. Coast Guard will have a display on water safety and the Community Emergency Response team (CERT) will be on hand to answer any safety ques-tions.

The festival also features per-formances by dance studios on Saturday.

The Coastal Carolina Railroaders model train exhibi-tion and the mini-Thomas the Train exhibit will be at the Sudan Temple. There are over a hundred trains filling this exhibition.

Big activities planned for New Bern’s MumfestMumfest is a combination of

fantasy, fun and entertainment that has attracted visitors to the his-toric downtown and waterfront for 35 years. It was recognized

four times in the past 10 years by the Southeast Tourism Society as a Top 20 October Event in the Southeastern United States and is consistently voted the Best

Festival in the annual Sun JournalReaders Choice Awards.
