BY SANDY COHEN

ASSOCIATED PRESSNo affinity for superheroes

or familiarity with Marvel mythology is required to enjoy the visual spectacle that is “Doctor Strange.” Being open to mysticism and the possi-bility of parallel dimensions might help, though.

Benedict Cumberbatch plays the title character in this origin story, where plot is secondary to dazzling spe-cial effects that invert gravity, reverse time and twist build-ings like blocks in a Rubik’s Cube. It’s worth it to watch the film in 3-D, and on an IMAX screen if possible (as this critic did), for an immersive, almost psychedelic experience. Two spectacular action sequences in the third act are enough to justify the ticket price.

Dr. Stephen Strange (Mr. Cumberbatch) is a brilliant, arrogant neurosurgeon. He’s a know-it-all about medicine and music; a materialist with an expansive apartment and a drawer full of designer watch-es. His commuter car is a Lamborghini, and he’s speed-ing around curves in it when he’s distracted by a text and flies off a cliff. He awakens from surgery to finds his hands shattered and held together with a series of metal pins.

Despondent because he can’t work, Dr. Strange travels to Nepal, where he believes a healer may have cured some-one from complete paraly-sis. He ends up at a palace where he meets the mysteri-ous Mordor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), warriors who intro-

duce him to magical pow-ers and mystical realms. As a scientist, Dr. Strange dis-misses their teachings (“I do not believe in fairytales about chakras”), but desperation – and a bizarre trip down a third-eye wormhole – make him a believer.

Meanwhile, one of the Ancient One’s former students (Mads Mikkelsen, always an excellent villain) has gone rogue, using the mystical teachings to connect with dark forces. He and his min-ions believe they’ll receive eternal life if they destroy the sanctums of the Ancient One’s power, which are conveniently located in New York, London and Hong Kong – all dynamic settings for destruction and mind-bending magic.

Each of the city sequences

look great, but the New York scenes are truly phenomenal. In the hands of director Scott Derrickson and the special-effects artists who worked on “Guardians of the Galaxy,” the Big Apple becomes mesmeriz-ingly Escher-esque: a disjoint-ed, gravity-ignorant collection of streets and buildings.

While some of the magical elements may be far out (a levitating cape, for example), the Ancient One’s messages are grounded in contemporary pop psychology and spiritual-ity. She says things like, “We never lose our demons, we only learn to live above them,” and “Silence your ego and your power will rise.” Coming from a bald Ms. Swinton, it sounds more insightful than preachy.

The film addresses such sweeping concepts as death

and time, but only to define the characters’ motives. Some of the messages may be worth contemplating, but “Doctor Strange” is not a message movie. It is a visual delight, where the spiritual notion that not all can be explained by sci-ence allows for an “Inception”-like unraveling of reality.

Be sure to stay through the credits for two delicious Marvel “Easter eggs.” One involves a massive, self-refill-ing beer and the other teases a possible “Strange” future.

“Doctor Strange,” a Walt Disney Studios release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sci-fi violence and action throughout, and an intense crash sequence.” Running time: 115 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Beaufort Wine & Food is celebrating its third annual Oyster Roast.

It’s set from 2-5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at Beaufort East Village off Lennoxville Road. The site will offer guests views of Davis Bay while cele-brating North Carolina’s coast-al and culinary heritage.

In addition to steamed oys-ters, guests can enjoy a vari-ety of additional local seafood selections provided by Mr. Big Seafood, Joe Darden Seafood, Blue Ocean Market, Fishtowne Seafood and many more.

Guest chef and pitmaster Sam Jones, chef and owner of Sam Jones BBQ in Greenville and famed Skylight Inn in Ayden, will create from the land, a menu featuring wood-fired, whole hog barbecue.

In the world of barbecue, Mr. Jones is hog royalty. This third-generation pitmaster, heir to the legendary Skylight Inn throne, just opened his own namesake joint about 8 miles down the road from the barbecue landmark his grand-father built and where Mr. Jones earned his low-and-slow chops.

Mr. Jones has been grab-bing headlines in publications like Saveur Magazine, Garden and Gun and Time Magazine; has rubbed shoulders with the likes of TV food person-ality Andrew Zimmern; was named one of “The South’s Best Pitmasters” by Southern Living Magazine; and his res-taurant was listed as a “Top New Restaurant in the South” by Southern Living.

At Sam Jones BBQ, Mr. Jones continues to serve wood-smoked, whole hog and serve pulled-pork sandwiches flecked with crisped skin just like his father and grandfather always have.

Rooted in rich tradition, Sam Jones BBQ offers a model for the next generation of Southern barbecue.

“We are thrilled to have Sam headlining our event,” said Lindsay Parker, executive director for Beaufort Wine and Food. “It’s great to have a powerhouse chef preparing whole hog barbecue the same way his family has been doing it for generations – that paired with a bounty of seafood har-vested by local commercial fishermen, it doesn’t get more Eastern North Carolina than that.”

A variety of expertly paired wines and North Carolina craft beer will be offered as drinks, and guests can purchase the wine selections at special Beaufort Wine & Food dis-counts.

Winery representatives and brewers will be on hand to help guide guests through the culinary adventure.

Proceeds from this year’s Oyster Roast will benefit the Beaufort Boys & Girls Club and the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island. The event is sponsored by Preston Development Co.

Hayrides, bonfires, a silent auction with large-format, rare and high-end wines, art and more, plus live music by

Oyster Roast to feature celebrity guest chef, live music, Eastern NC’s favorite bivalve

Mac N’ Juice will round out

the evening.

Beaufort Wine & Food is a

nonprofit organization whose

mission is to host premier

wine and food events to bene-

fit other nonprofits that excel

in community enrichment and

enhance quality of life in the

county.

Tickets are $75 per person,

and this is expected to be a

sold-out event.

this event or for more infor-

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and performances begin at 7:30 p.m.

Beaucoup Blue is the Americana Philadelphia-based group of David and Adrian Mowry. The father and son have been performing their roots-based music nationally and internationally as a duo, quartet and on occasion quintet.

Bridging many gaps in American music, their soulful traditional and contemporary styles mesh into an innovative and authentic sound.

Although blues is a staple in their repertoire, they base their love in music from folk, soul, R&B, jazz, country and bluegrass. All these interests and influences come out in their song-writing.

Tickets are $16 for general admission; $13 for Down East Folk Arts Society members and active duty military; and $10 for students. Prices don’t include sales tax.

Tickets for both venues may be reserved online at www.downeas-tfolkarts.org/online.html, or by calling or texting 252-646-4657. In New Bern, tickets are also at Trent River Coffee Co. and at the Bank of the Arts on Middle Street.

NEWS-TIMESThis Veterans Day, visitors to

Fort Macon State Park can take part in a special event, looking at the lives of the soldiers who were stationed there.

Fort Macon staff will hold its first Hands on Fort Macon from 2–4:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12. This event, which may become a regular Veterans Day event, will feature several activities and presentations on life at the fort for both its military personnel and the civilians who were a part of its operation.

Fort Macon Superintendent Randy Newman said this will be the first year they’ve held Hands on Fort Macon. He said rang-ers Paul Branch, who’s also the fort’s historian, and Paul Terry came up with the idea.

“We’re trying to make sure kids recognize Veterans Day,” Mr. Newman said. “We’d love to make it a regular event.”

In addition to the staff, volun-teers from the 1st N.C. Battalion re-enactment group will also be helping out. Mr. Newman said as of Wednesday, they’ve had a few calls from people interested in the event.

“We’re trying to get it moving the first year,” he said. “We’re working on raising awareness and getting the word out.”

After the event, park service staff at the fort will meet to dis-cuss the event’s reception by the public. While no specific plans have been made for activities

Hands on Fort Macon set for Veterans Day

to add later, Mr. Newman said he’d like to bring in veterans to talk about their experiences at future Hands on Fort Macon events.

Visitors will have an oppor-tunity to try operating a 19th

century cannon with public can-non drills. They’ll also have the chance to lean about making ammunition for 18th and 19th century muskets, using candy and sugar in place of bullets and gunpowder.

Visitors may also learn

about the clothing worn dur-

ing the fort’s active years.

Presentations of 19th century

women’s clothing will give

them a chance to try on a

Victorian-style dress. At 3 p.m.,

a demonstration will be given

about the uniforms worn and

weapons used by the soldiers

from the War of 1812 through

World War I.

At 3:30 p.m., children, par-

ents and others may take part

in a children’s musket drill. Re-

enactors will guide visitors on

how soldiers drilled with their

firearms in the 19th Century.

Finally, the event will conclude

at 4 p.m. with a cannon-firing

demonstration.

Fort Macon will

host its first

Hands on Fort

Macon event

from 2-4:30 p.m.

Saturday, Nov.

12. The event

will focus on

wars throughout

history with

re-enactments,

cannon-firing

demonstrations

and more.

The new Swansboro location

of One Harbor Church, in con-

junction with the Seaside Arts

Council, is holding a Community

Art Show on Saturday, Nov. 12,

during the annual Candlelight

Tour.

All community members in

Eastern Onslow and Western

Carteret counties are encour-

aged to share their artwork.

This is the second commu-

nity art show produced by Emily

Wikoff, member of One Harbor

Church and art teacher at Bogue

Sound Elementary School. The

Church, arts council to host art showtheme of the art show is New Beginnings.

“Since our Swansboro site is new, we thought it would be interesting to see art in the same theme,” Ms. Wikoff said. The pieces do not have to be religious, but do need to be appropriate for all ages.

“We are curious to see how many different kinds of art are being made here,” Ms. Wikoff continued. “When we produced this show last year in Beaufort, I was blown away by the quantity

and quality of work we saw.”The Seaside Arts Council,

known for its musical program-ming throughout the year in both Swansboro and Emerald Isle, was eager to grow their visual arts programming.

At the event, all attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite pieces of artwork. The Seaside Arts Council will be awarding priz-es to the “People’s Choice Awards.”

Established in 2009, the

Seaside Arts Council exists to promote, advance and pro-vide performing and visual arts opportunities, appreciation and education for residents and visi-tors to Swansboro and Western Carteret County.

One Harbor Church has loca-tions in Morehead City and Beaufort, as well as Swansboro.

For more information, contact Devra Thomas at stubborndev@gmail.com or Ms. Wikoff at rinehartemily@gmail.com.

The Swan Days Festival returns to Lake Mattamuskeet on Saturday, Dec. 10.

This event is a celebration of the annual return of the tun-dra swans and other migratory birds to Lake Mattamuskeet, providing fun for the entire family.

The event is jointly spon-sored by Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge, the Greater Hyde County Chamber of Commerce and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. Guided bird tours will begin early on Dec. 10, to view thousands of migratory birds.

Advance reservations are required for the bird tours. The refuge staff will begin taking reservations at 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 14.

Space is limited on the tours, so it is essential that everyone who would like to participate call the refuge at 252-926-4021 to reserve a seat.

According to Pete Campbell,

Bird Tours to be offered at Lake Mattamuskeet

manager of Mattamuskeet

Refuge, the tours are so popu-

lar that all seats are usually

reserved before the end of the

first day, so he stresses the

importance of calling on Nov.

14. Mr. Campbell explained

that the tours will take visitors

Thousands of tundra swans spend their winters at Lake

Mattamuskeet in Swan Quarter. Celebrate the return of these

birds with bird tours during the Swan Days Festival, which is

Saturday, Dec. 10. (Contributed photo)

into gated areas that are usu-ally closed to the public. This will include diked impound-ments where the refuge grows crops to provide winter habi-tat for the migratory birds.

Lake Mattamuskeet is the largest natural lake in North Carolina, and the winter home for thousands of migratory birds.

These include tundra swans, snow geese, Canada geese and more than 20 species of ducks.

There are also large num-bers of wading birds, including the snowy egret, great blue heron and two species of ibis.

Mattamuskeet Refuge has more than 200 species of birds and is a favorite place for bird-ers, photographers and sports-men.

The festival will also include educational programs for all ages, exhibits, a photography workshop and food vendors, set up adjacent to historic Mattamuskeet Lodge, which

was originally the pump-ing plant for America’s most famous pump-supported land reclamation project.

Among the educational programs will be an update on the restoration of historic Mattamuskeet Lodge by Mark Williard, architect for the lodge restoration project.

Marco Gibbs of Hyde County will speak on the Native American History of Lake Mattamuskeet and Hyde County and Dr. Lewis Forrest, the executive director for the nonprofit Mattamuskeet Foundation, will present a program on the history of Lake Mattamuskeet and Mattamuskeet Lodge.

For more informa-tion about the festival, contact Mattamuskeet Refuge at 252-926-4021 or m a t t a m u s k e e t @ f w s . g o v. Additional information is also available at www.swandays.com and on the festival’s Facebook page.

NEWS-TIMESBright red kettles will soon

appear and bells will be ringing at county businesses when vol-unteers report for the 2016 The Salvation Army Red Kettle bell-ringing campaign to seek dona-tions to help the county’s needy.

Last year the Red Kettle Campaign raised $87,741, and this year’s goal is $100,000.

Lt. Rolland Lewis with The Salvation Army has seen a rise in requests for food assistance and help with utility bills.

“We’re distributing between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds of food on a monthly basis,” Lt. Lewis said. “We budget so much each month for utility assistance, and once we reach that, we have to turn people away. The Red Kettle Campaign provides more than 50 percent of our annual budget, so our hope is this will help us with increased program costs.”

The Salvation Army will kick off the 2016 campaign with a Blessing of the Kettles cel-ebration 9 to 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 14, at the train depot in Morehead City.

The event will include light refreshments, coffee and hot chocolate, and comments by Lt. Lewis.

Money raised during the annual Red Kettle campaign helps provide toys and food for needy county families for Christmas, and supports The Salvation Army social services

Red Kettle campaign to begin

programs throughout the year.Lt. Lewis said kettle loca-

tions have been added this year, so more volunteers are needed to ring bells. Bell ring-ers will report to 10 county locations Monday with the rest reporting later.

They will continue through Saturday, Dec. 24, with the exception of Thanksgiving Day and Sundays.

Volunteers will begin ringing at Belk, Hobby Lobby and Kmart, all in Morehead City; Lowes Food Stores in Morehead City and Cape Carteret; Dollar Trees

in Morehead City and Atlantic Beach; Town and Country IGA on Highway 24 near Newport; and Piggly Wiggly and Roses in Beaufort.

They will report Friday, Nov. 18, and ring just on week-ends at MacDaddy’s in Cape Carteret, and ABC Stores in Beaufort and Morehead City.

Ringers will report Friday, Nov. 25, at Walmart in Morehead City and Newport, and at Harris Teeter in Morehead City.

Lt. Lewis said a new feature that will be added at select

locations this year is the abil-ity to donate with credit cards, although he did not specify which locations those will be.

He especially encouraged groups, such as churches and civic organizations, to join in the fun this year and ring for a good cause.

“It’s just a blessing for the person ringing the bell — smiling

and speaking with people. It’s great to be able to put a smile on someone’s face,” he said.

Individuals can ring as little as four hours, he said.

Those interested in volun-teering to ring bells can call The Salvation Army, 252-726-7147, or come by The Salvation Army thrift store, 1700 Arendell St. in Morehead City

The familiar sound of bells

like this one ringing last year

at Belk in Morehead City

will soon be heard. The start

for this year’s The Salvation

Army Red Kettle campaign

will be Monday, Nov. 14, at the

train depot in Morehead City.

Gaylon Pope & SweetWater are set to return to Morehead City for the sixth annual “Holiday Extravaganza Show.”

The show is Saturday, Nov. 19, at Joslyn Hall on the Campus of Carteret Community College.

This “Holiday Extravaganza Show” is a one-night-only holi-day treat for locals and tour-ist alike. Seating is limited, and the public is encouraged to purchase advance tickets early.

Advance tickets are on sale now at The Kountry Kitchen in Morehead City, which is in the Brandywine Shopping Center or by calling CenterStage Entertainment at 919-915-1422.

Some of the ticket proceeds from the show will be donated to victims suffering from the damage caused by Hurricane Matthew.

Showtime is 7 p.m., and

doors will open for seating at 6:15 p.m. Ticket prices are $20 for adults and seniors in advance and $23 at the door upon availability. Ticket for children 12 and under are $12 in advance and $15 at the door upon availability.

This year, by popular demand, the Christmas show will feature fan favorites from their new Christmas CD entitled “A Christmas to Remember.”

The show also includes down home humor from char-acters: Granny No-Mo and Puddin’-Tang. Granny No-Mo has gained popularity across the country during the group’s touring schedule.

The Christmas show sold-out last year with adoring fans who have made this show a family tradition, and many came as far away as South

An AARP Smart Driver Course for motorists 50 and older is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the Leon Mann Jr. Enrichment Center on Galantis Drive in Morehead City.

The cost of the course is $15 for AARP members or $20 for nonmembers. Contact instruc-tor Don Helsabeck at 252-247-2930 to register.

The AARP driver safety pro-gram is the nation’s first and largest driver-refresher course specifically designed for motor-ists 50 and older. The course, which is open to AARP members and nonmembers alike, helps drivers refine existing skills and develop safe, defensive-driving techniques.

The course will show how to compensate for changes in

vision, hearing and reaction time; how to handle problem situations like left turns, right-of-way, freeway traffic, trucks and blind spots; what to do if con-fronted by an aggressive driver; when to use a cell phone; how medication may affect driving; how to properly use anti-lock brakes, air bags and safety belts; and how to assess one’s own and other’s abilities via a per-sonal driving capability index.

A workbook will be used for the four-hour course as well as audio and visual aids to discuss each topic, including: the evolv-ing automobile and when peo-ple are no longer safe behind the wheel.

Additional information can be found at the AARP website www.aarp.com.

Driver safety course set for Nov. 15

Carolina and Virginia. According to Mr. Pope,

this year’s show had to be scheduled early in the holiday season due to other shows already scheduled for their 2016 Christmas Tour.

“Due to the many requests for an early Christmas show in Morehead City, we have tried to schedule the Saturday before Thanksgiving each year, before everyone gets so busy with shopping and vari-ous other functions,” Mr. Pope said.

“The early scheduling has not effected the excitement

of ticket buyers. It quiet sim-ply will be a way to celebrate Thanksgiving and kick off the Christmas season, and we are excited and thankful for the public’s support,” he added.

The group’s tour begins in Selma on Wednesday, Nov. 16, at the Rudy Theatre, then moves to Kinston on Friday, Nov. 18, at Grainger Hill Performing Arts Center. Then, the tour comes to Morehead City on Nov. 19.

From there, they settle in at Mike’s Farm in Beulaville for seven shows per week dur-ing their ever popular Ho-Ho Christmas Dinner Shows & Hayride through the Festival

of lights.

All shows at Mike’s Farm,

excluding, Wednesday nights

are sold out. To purchase tick-

ets for a Wednesday night

show, call 910-324-3770.

The Christmas tour is some-

thing that many people look

forward to for the start of the

holiday season.

Jack Dudley will discuss his newest book during a program at the History Museum of Carteret County in Morehead City.

At 11:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 18, Mr. Dudley will discuss Harkers

Island: A Good Place to Live. It is a photographic history of the island and fishing lore in the sur-rounding waters from the early decades of the 1900s through 1970s.

Harkers Island has a long and varied history with numerous quaint landmarks and colorful people. Mr. Dudley will speak of his experiences with interview-ing old-timers who provided colorful anecdotes of the past. The vintage photographs cap-ture the true flavor of Harkers Island.

A question and answer ses-

sion will be followed by book signing.

Mr. Dudley is a Carteret County resident who spends his free time pursuing his interest in coastal history and folklore.

He applies his avocations of photography and historical research to document the his-tory and traditions of North Carolina coastal communities and regions.

The program with lunch is $12 for Carteret County Historical Society members and $15 for nonmembers.

Without lunch, admission is $5 for members and $8 for non-members.

For reservations, call 252-247-7533 ext. 1, or visit the museum at 1008 Arendell St. in Morehead City.

Jack Dudley will discuss his latest book Harkers Island: A Good Place

to Live during a program at the Carteret County History Museum. The
