Girl Scout cookie season is officially here, and Scouts can be found set up around the county and roaming door-to-door selling a wide variety of sweet treats, all for an affordable price.
During the cookie season, Girl Scouts sell their goods to learn skills that will help them succeed in life.
“The Cookie Program teaches Girl Scouts skills that will help them grow into leaders in their own life, leaders in business and leaders in the world,” said Nicole McGuiness, Girl Scout co-leader of Troop 857 in Beaufort.
According to Ms. McGuiness, when girls participate in the larg-est girl-led business in the world, the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they learn these essential five skills: • Goal setting – Girls set cookie sales goals and, with their team, create a plan to reach them. • Decision making – Girls
Girl Scout Cookie Program gets going
develop a basic business plan for cookie sales and work as a team to decide when and where to sell cookies and what to do with the money they earn. • Money management – Girls develop a budget, take cook-ie orders, handle customers’ money and gain valuable practi-cal life skills.• People skills – Girls learn how to talk to, listen to and work with all kinds of people while selling cookies.• Business ethnics – Girls are honest and responsible during every step of cookie sales.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps girls develop an entrepreneurial spirit as they learn to run their very own business.
“The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a true financial lit-eracy program, teaching girls essential skills to succeed per-sonally and professionally, including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics,” Ms. McGuiness said. “These five skills are important ingredients in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Through the program, girls become lead-ers in business and sales, learn how to manage finances, and gain self-sufficiency and confi-dence in handling money.”
Members of Troop 857, who are ages 5-7, met Jan. 16. At the meeting, the girls decided the troop cookie goal, as well as what they would do with the profits from cookie sales.
Troop moms Brooke Lupton,
Holly Frazier and Brandy Lee were in charge of the meeting.
“We are going to use that money for our troop and to help other people,” Ms. Lupton told the girls.
The girls were given three options to help the commu-nity – to make hygiene boxes for the women’s shelter, to purchase items for the County Humane Society and volun-teer time with the animals or to donate to the Surfrider Foundation and volunteer to clean the beaches.
When the girls cast their vote, volunteering for the ani-mal shelter and making the kits for the women’s shelter were the popular choices.
Some of the Scouts were new to selling cookies, while others were cookie selling pro-fessionals, but as for the total cookies sold, the girls aimed high.
Based on how many boxes the girls sold in the past, the Scouts
believed they could reach a goal of 3,000 boxes sold.
Last year, troop member Aleceya Frazier sold around 1,200 boxes of cookies. This year, she has sold around 500 boxes and counting.
“We had some repeat cus-tomers and sold to family mem-bers,” Ms. Frazier, Aleceya’s mother, said when asked how they were able to sell so many cookies. “We have a long way to meet our goal.”
Aleceya said she enjoys sell-ing cookies because it raises money for Girl Scouts.
The troop will be conducting booth cookie sales Saturdays and Sundays at various stores in Beaufort and Morehead City.
The cookie season ends Sunday, March 3.
For more information on the Girl Scout Cookie Program, where to find a booth near you or how to purchase cook-ies through the Digital Cookie platform, visit girlscouts.org.

Review: ‘Mowgli’ visually stunning but melodramatic
Have a Netflix night
BY MEGAN LEWISTWM
The classic Disney tale, “The Jungle Book,” gets another live-action retelling following the 2016 release, but this one went straight to Netflix.
Unlike the straight to DVD moniker that used to imply an inferior product, going straight to Netflix doesn’t have the same implications, as the streaming giant is becoming a production force in its own right.
For “Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle,” Netflix teamed up with Warner Bros. to capture the world of “The Jungle Book” with appropriately stunning visual effects.
The jungle is its own character and is given the attention it deserves.
Makeup, music and computer graphics blend to create a world that breathes, hunts and bleeds along with its characters.
Particularly compelling is the expressiveness of its creature characters … just one of many areas where the film blends humans and jungle.
Mowgli himself – acted with mature brilliance by Rohan Chand – is the ultimate blend of jungle and human, and that’s where the story finally begins to find itself, about halfway through, as it focuses more sharply on his journey to find where he belongs.
“The Jungle Book” was always a coming-of-age story, but Netflix’s “Mowgli” is the grown-up, already-came-of-age cousin.
Everything that Disney did, this film does but takes to a grittier, darker place.
The monkeys, originally comical, become terrifying.
Shere Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch) gets a bloodthirsty, psychopathic edge.
Kaa, the snake (Cate
Blanchett) – well, she runs the show as a creepy, all-seeing shaman of the jungle.
Oh, and Baloo (Andy Serkis) … he’s not as carefree and laid back as the “Bare Necessities” bear that fans of the original will remember.
Ultimately, however, all of this is only a backdrop to Mowgli’s journey toward realizing he really is special and owning his differences to become “legendary.”
And that melodrama that slithers from scene to scene and caps the story with a sticky, sweet cherry is the main reason why this film only gets two stars out of four … that and its slow, meandering trail to the point.
While the main actor is a child, this is not a children’s movie. “Mowgli” is rated PG-13 with cause and runs 1 hour and 44 minutes.
Mowgli, played by Rohan Chand, stands as the “legend” in the final, melodramatic scene of the Netflix film “Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle.” (Netflix photo)

Love Me Love My Dog fundraiser to benefit Coastal Carolina Pet Provided Therapy
“We thought the Valentine’s Day theme was perfect for this event as we all know we love our dogs,” said Joan Walker, M. Photog., certified profes-sional photographer, owner of Woof Tracks Photography and photographer for the fundrais-ing event. “And what better theme than one with ‘love’ to support our local therapy dogs that provide so much love and valuable services throughout our community?”
The certified therapy dog teams of Coastal Carolina Pet Provided Therapy work to pro-vide comfort and stress relief to others in a variety of situ-ations.
Dog and owner therapy dog teams from Coastal Carolina Pet Provided Therapy can be seen visiting area nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living com-munities, hospice care facilities, schools, libraries, military instal-lations and other sites in east-ern North Carolina.
Coastal Carolina Pet Provided Therapy Teams visit facilities in Carteret, Craven, Onslow and Pamlico counties.
“Our dog/handler teams go through a rigorous training program in order to be certified with Love on a Leash,” said Pat Rapaport, KPA Partner, CPDT, Owner-Trainer of Hole in the Wall Dog Training Academy. “Dogs must be well mannered and calm and be able to work around distractions.”
“They should love people and be able to adapt to dif-ferent environments,” Ms. Rapaport continued. “Our dogs come in all sizes and shapes from Yorkies to Great Danes. This fundraiser event will benefit our efforts to sup-port our community participa-tion on all levels.”

So many folks wanted to hear John Leys’ “The Story of Ghent” that the New Bern Historical Society event sold out in December.
Due to the popularity of the subject, Mr. Leys will give an encore presentation at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29 at the N.C. History Center, in partnership with Tryon Palace.
This event is open to the public. Doors will open at 5 p.m. Reserve a seat with a suggested $10 donation; all proceeds go to historical soci-ety’s educational programs.
The Ghent neighborhood has a lively and vibrant past.
“The Story of Ghent will take us back to the days when Ghent was developed from the Rhem family plantation and explain how the neighborhood grew with the introduction of the trolley,” Mr. Leys said in a recent press release. “We’ll remember all the fun the chil-dren had with the coming of the circus. Let’s not forget the Casino with sports events, dances, rides and conces-sions…”
A Ghent resident, Mr. Leys came to New Bern after finish-ing his graduate degree at East Carolina University in 1975 and taught French, history and English in the New Bern school system.
After retiring as a teach-er, he worked at the Craven County Convention and Visitors

Bureau, the New Bern Public Library and Tryon Palace.
An active volunteer with the historical society, he served on the board of directors as the historian, recently stepping down after 10 years.
Mr. Leys has done extensive research and writing, and has written scripts for and acted as a ghost in Ghostwalk and Haunted Evening productions.
He has appeared in many productions at the civic theatre and was on the founding board of the Rivertowne Players.

Visit the County Public Library in Beaufort to view a mother and daughter art offering.
The gallery wall currently features Judi “Sage” Schmutz’s compelling work.
Lighted sculptures represent-ing the elemental nature of life memorize and inspire reflective thought through color, collage and design.
“This artwork represents my passion for the natural elemen-tal world in which we all live,” Ms. Schmutz said.
“Spirit lights, soul bowls and
time trees” bring about a unique perspective, according to a release from the library.
Made from handmade papers, willow branches, tribal cloth and more, these pieces merge the functional form of lights, ves-sels and time pieces with the rich visual metaphors of timeless spirit expressed in image, color and texture.
The elemental spirit light identified as “fire” reminds the viewer that he/she is fire – burn, tame, adapt and ignite.
Another mixed media sculp-
ture titled “Phoenix Rising” fea-tures a bust painted and adorned with feathered wings that lift spirit and delight visually.
“The phoenix represents renewal, rebirth and the begin-ning of a new life. The rising of the phoenix symbolizes that a person has gone through difficult times, but has resurrected and survived,” Ms. Schmutz said.
The show also features Zoe Nateman’s art. Necklace and earring designs will capture the admiration of art lovers and jewelry lovers alike, according
to the release.Viewers will also be treated to
handmade tiles and sketches of prehistoric specimens in nature.
Some of the marine fossils on display are 100 to 200 million years old.
According to the release, each fossil has been fused in glass at 1,455 degrees F.
“Through trial and error, I have developed a kiln schedule that allows the glass and fossils to be gradually heated to almost 1,500 degrees F., then slowly cooled to create a truly unique
piece of ancient history and art,” Ms. Nateman said. “Merging the worlds of paleontology and the visual arts has been an exciting challenge, and I am thrilled to create something that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Encasing these ancient treasures in glass gives them new life and pushes the bound-aries of fused glass jewelry.”
The library is open from 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
The County Public Library in Beaufort will feature the sculptures of Judi “Sage” Schmutz, above and below at left, and the handmade tiles and sketches of Zoe Nateman, above and below at right. (Contributed photos)

The Southeast Tourism Society has named Beaufort Wine & Food Festival as one of the Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Events in the Southeast for April 2019.
This year’s festival takes place Wednesday-Sunday, April 24-28 in Beaufort and surrounding areas.
The STS Top 20 Festival and Event Awards have high-lighted programs around the Southeast since 1985.
“Beaufort Wine and Food offers something for everyone – whether it’s an intimate wine dinner in area restaurants or the grand scale of the Vin de Mer Epicurean Village – it’s the perfect venue for a food festival to celebrate the chefs and cuisines of Eastern NC and beyond,” Lindsay Parker, Beaufort Wine & Food’s exec-utive director, said in a recent press release.
STS, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Roswell, Ga., is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting travel and tourism within 12 states – Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
The festival is an example of what the STS was looking for.
“The Top 20 Festival and Event Program is celebrating 34 years of spotlighting the best festivals and events in the Southeast,” said Monica Smith, president and CEO of the Southeast Tourism Society. “Our goal is to pro-vide well-deserved accolades for the dedicated event orga-nizers and additional media exposure for their events. The Southeast offers so many unique, year-round, opportu-nities for attendees to cre-ate memories and support an industry that is an economic generator for its community.”
According to the release, the BWF board, staff and team of volunteers not only bring culinary and wine experts to the coast for an unforgettable experience, but it also enable BWF to give back to the com-munity.
A nonprofit organization itself, proceeds from BWF events benefit nonprofits that
excel in community enrich-ment and enhance quality of life in Carteret County.
Proceeds from events go
Southeast Tourism Society selects Beaufort Wine & Food as a ‘Top 20’ event
towards BWF’s mission to sup-port local charities and non-profits that strive to improve life here.
Since its first festival in 2004, BWF has donated more than $735,000 to area non-profits.
Proceeds from this year’s festival go toward BWF’s next major community proj-ects, including a donation of $100,000 for the construction of the new, state of the art culinary building on the cam-pus of Carteret Community College.
This new facility will more than triple the number of stu-dents served in the culinary, baking and pastry and hospi-tality programs.
The second project is fund-ing $50,000 for the construc-tion of a commercial kitchen in the new Salvation Army building in Morehead City.
For more information on the upcoming BWF festival, sponsorship opportunities or to become a member, contact the BWF office at 252-515-0708 or go online to beaufor-twineandfood.com.
