The Core Sound Museum Quilt Crew stitches together more than fabric – this small group is creating goods for the community and building lasting relationships.
The crew meets every Tuesday and creates quilts and other fabric goods to ben-efit the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island.
Thanks to Hurricane Florence, the quilters’ mission to help the museum is more important than ever.
The museum was badly dam-aged during the storm. Since Hurricane Florence hit mid-September, the quilters have been working at various loca-tions. They are now set up in the Core Sound Gift Shop at 806 Arendell St. in Morehead City.
“We usually meet at the museum. We were on hiatus
during the storm,” said Bonnie Hunter, one of the quilters. “We still don’t know where all of our things are.”
The group recently complet-ed the “Mariner’s Sun,” a strip quilt to be auctioned during Waterfowl Weekend, Friday-Sunday, Nov. 30-Dec. 2.
The quilt was designed by Ms. Hunter and Willi Foster. It is made with brightly colored fabrics, and there are at least 50 shades of color on the com-pleted quilt.
“It’s kind of a common pat-tern,” Ms. Hunter said. “We altered it from a painting.”
The fabric is cut into hexa-gon shapes. The thread used in the sky and water are sewn in opposite directions to give the quilt the illusion of movement.
Raffle tickets for the quilt are $5 or five for $20. Those who are interested in purchasing tickets can do so by stopping by the Core Sound Gift Shop or calling the museum at 252-728-1500.
As well as the “Mariner’s Sun,” the quilters have been working on a community quilt.
To complete this quilt, mem-bers of the community pay for a square. Each square repre-sents a part of the Down East communities, such as a well-known business or in memory of a family member.
Some of the squares are embroidered, some are pic-tures and others are quilted together with fabric.
As well as quilts, the crew also makes and sells jewelry from left over quilt fabric. The pieces are sold at the museum store, and proceeds are used to purchase the crew’s quilting supplies.
“It doesn’t cost the museum any money,” Ms. Hunter said.
She said the group brings in around $7,000 or $8,000 a year.
Working on quilts this year are Sharon Bailey, Helen Beacham, Phyllis Salak, Ms.
Quilters stitch together past, presentHunter, Terri Sension, Mary Ann Williams, Ms. Foster, Clara Wade, Sherrie Murphy, Manda Holden and Nancy Hilmer.
For these women, quilting is a way to help the museum and a connection to the past.
Ms. Hunter said she has been a part of the crew for 10 years.
“I have done a lot of sewing in the past,” she said. “It’s how I help the museum.”
For Ms. Salak and Ms. Beacham, it’s a reminder of their family.
“Our mothers and grand-mothers had quilters in their home,” Ms. Salak said.
“We had to learn how to quilt or we stayed cold,” Ms. Beacham echoed. “We could bring our doll babies and play under the quilt. We had the best time.”
Many of the women also said it was a fun, relaxing activity.
“It’s a good therapy session,” Ms. Holden said.
“It’s social,” Ms. Sension agreed.
The Core Sound Museum Quilt Crew creates quilts and fabric goods that they sell at The Core Sound Gift Shop. The quilting crew also meets in a back room at the shop to work every Tuesday. (Dylan Ray photo)

Elizabeth Pugh as Queen Mary Bruce chastises soldiers trying to take a child into their army. (Netflix photo)
BY MEGAN LEWISTWM
The little guy who beats the odds is a common occurrence in fiction but it is not seen quite so often in real life.
One of the things, then, that makes “Outlaw King,” interesting is that it is based on historical events. The titled king is Robert the Bruce, played by Chris Pine, and he starts with 40 men but gains over 400, with whom he routs an army of 30,000. Ultimately, the Scots take back their land from the English.
Just like the Colonial British of the United States, he and his men use their land against the invading foe.
The theme: don’t mess with a man’s land or his family.
Of course, the movie, a new Netflix release by Anonymous Content and Sigma Films, has its own odds to overcome.
First, like many historically set films, the producers made a valiant effort to recreate the feel of a long-past time. It’s not the most engaging as far as setting, but if some
accent flubbing and obviously polyester costume moments can be ignored, they largely succeed through the use of song and filming on location.
Finally, and most egregiously, it starts slowly.
The movie really doesn’t feel like it gets going with the main crux of matters for almost an hour, setting up backstory and relationships at the beginning, but if viewers can stick through that, it finds its footing.
Of course, it’s rare for an audience to allow itself to wait that long.
The meat of the story, however, is worth the wait.
In fact, Florence Pugh is worth the wait. She plays Queen Elizabeth, who wins over Robert’s heart, his daughter and his people. She should win over viewers as well with a part stunningly well written and well played.
It’s only when she and Marjorie (Josie O’Brien), the widow king’s daughter, are taken prisoner that Robert finally brings the English’s
Review: ‘�utlaw King’ overcomes odds
nasty fighting back to them. It’s miraculous that his army,
small though it is, sticks with him to that point, however, after he naively believes a foe who has already cast aside chivalry will stick to an honorable duel in his first “battle.”
If the audience cares to repeat that miracle and stick with this movie, they should find something here worth watching. The acting is well done.
A word of warning, though: this movie is a war movie at heart and it doesn’t shy away from showing all the bloody details. It also doesn’t shy away from showing any naked details, including the full front of Mr. Pine. Running 2 hours, 1 minute and rated R, keep anyone younger than 18 away from this one for sure.
Three stars out of four.

Light bites for healthier holidays
(Content and images provided by Family Features.)
Find more ways to live healthier during the holidays and learn more about the benefits of a balanced, low-carb lifestyle at Atkins.com.
Simple changes boost energy:For those who are always on the go lead-
ing up to the holidays, the season can feel more like madness than merrymaking. From planning get-togethers to building out a per-fect menu for the events, there can be dif-ficulties for hosts and guests alike to ensure proper nutrition is still top of mind.
Instead of sacrificing taste or eating less, aim for simple changes that give you the energy to power through the busy season.
For example, instead of opting for a carb-loaded breakfast in the morning, try a low-
carb Milk Chocolate Protein Muffin, which takes just a few minutes of prep and micro-wave time.
The quick cook time leaves ample oppor-tunities to run errands or divvy up precious seconds toward other activities, while the protein can fuel you for the day ahead.
Almost nothing beats warm soup on a chilly day, and this Butternut Squash and Pear Soup provides feel-good flavor without weighing you down.
Finally, when snacks are on the mind – as tends to happen when constantly on the
go – Coconut Muesli Clusters are simple to make and won’t undo the nutritious efforts you’ve made throughout the day.
This full menu of tasty recipes is part of the Atkins low-carb lifestyle, a long-term, healthy eating approach focused on high-fiber carbohydrates, optimal protein and healthy fats. The plan also aims to reduce levels of refined carbohydrates, added sug-ars and the “hidden sugar effect,” – when carbohydrates convert to sugar when digest-ed. You don’t see the sugar, but your body does.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND PEAR SOUPRecipe courtesy of AtkinsPrep time: 20 minutesCook time: 30 minutesServings: 61 tablespoon unsalted butter1 medium (2 1/2-inch diameter) onion, chopped2 pounds butternut winter squash, cubed1 medium pear, sliced, plus additional, for garnish (optional) 1 teaspoon curry powder½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon ground white pepper5 cups chicken broth1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice½ cup heavy cream nutmeg (optional) In large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add
onions and sauté until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add squash, pear, curry powder, salt and white pepper; sauté 3 minutes.
Increase heat to high and add chicken broth. Bring to boil then reduce heat to low; simmer 20-25 minutes, uncovered, until cubed squash is very tender. Allow to cool about 10-15 minutes.
In blender or food processor, puree soup in batches until smooth. Return pureed soup to pot and add lemon juice and heavy cream. Stir soup over low heat until hot. Garnish with additional sliced pears and sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.
COCONUT MUESLI CLUSTERSRecipe courtesy of Atkins: Eat Right, Not LessActive time: 10 minutesTotal time: 20 minutesServings: 8Olive oil spray1 cup plain protein powder½ cup unsalted sunflower or pumpkin seeds1 cup whole raw pecans1 cup unsweetened whole flake shredded coconut½ cup chia seeds or ground flaxseeds1 tablespoon stevia2 teaspoons cinnamon½ teaspoon ground turmeric1 tablespoon coconut oil1 tablespoon peanut butter1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 large eggs¼ cup waterHeat oven to 350 F. Line large baking sheet with parch-
ment paper, coat with olive oil spray and set aside. In large bowl, mix together protein powder, sunflower or
pumpkin seeds, pecans, coconut, chia seeds or flaxseeds, stevia, cinnamon and turmeric.
In large skillet, combine coconut oil, peanut butter and vanilla extract; melt completely then stir in nut mixture. Turn heat off and add eggs and water, tossing well. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and spread mixture in layer about ½-inch thick.
Bake 10-15 minutes until mixture starts to brown and clumps together to make clusters. Cool completely on bak-ing sheet then store in airtight container, refrigerated, up to 1 week.
An On-the-Go Energy BoostAs a hectic holiday season unfolds, it can be difficult to
maintain energy while making dishes for get-togethers and keeping up with the festivities.
To stay fueled and energized throughout the season, try incorporating Atkins Plus Protein and Fiber Shakes. Sweet and creamy, they make for ideal snacks, containing 30 grams of high-quality dairy protein and 7 grams of fiber. To help ensure steady blood sugar levels, the shakes also have a low glycemic impact and are made with 20 vitamins and minerals.
Available in Creamy Milk Chocolate and Creamy Vanilla flavors, the ready-to-drink shakes provide hunger satisfac-tion for those who are on the go and seeking to maximize production with a busy schedule.
MILK CHOCOLATE PROTEIN MUFFINRecipe courtesy of Atkins Prep time: 5 minutesCook time: 1 minuteServings: 12 tablespoons full-fat cream cheese1 egg3 tablespoons Atkins Milk Chocolate Protein Powder¼ teaspoon baking powder½ teaspoon ground cinnamon1 dash saltIn microwave-safe mug, heat cream cheese 10-15
seconds to soften. Add egg and blend briskly using fork. Add protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; blend until smooth.
Microwave on high 1 minute; muffin will puff up then deflate slightly once done. Remove from mug and enjoy warm.

The Beaufort Historical Association is gearing up for one of its biggest weekends in November.
The grounds will be full of hol-iday activities Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 17-18 for the Jumble Sale and the Community Thanksgiving Feast.
The Jumble Sale is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, while the Community Thanksgiving Feast is from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18.
The Jumble Sale offers some-thing for everyone on the grounds of the Beaufort Historic Site.
The site, at 130 Turner St., will transform into an old-fashioned community market filled with vendors selling a wide variety of items.
With vendors from all over, event-goers can expect to find clothing, fine art, pottery, crafts, holiday items, handmade jewelry, candles, books, antiques, wooden furniture and toys, homemade food and more.
The Beaufort Garden Club plans to have an expanded flea market area for all those who love special deals.
Jumble Sale, Thanksgiving Feast this weekend
Held rain or shine, the Jumble Sale is a great opportunity for holiday shoppers to find that one-of-a-kind gift and special bargains all in one location.
The Community Thanksgiving Feast was almost canceled this year because of Hurricane Florence.
“Most of the restaurants in
town unanimously agreed this year, more than any in the last 24, that the Thanksgiving Feast needs to take place,” BHA orga-nizers said in a recent release. “They are the ones that do all the work for this amazing old-fashioned gathering of friends, neighbors, and visitors who return year after year. The deli-cious food is one reason to attend, and the other more important reason to attend is the fellowship and thankfulness for our special community.”
A traditional Thanksgiving din-ner will be provided by:• Accidental Bakery• Aqua• City Kitchen• Clawson’s 1905 Restaurant• Cru Wine Bar & Coffee Shop• Dank Burrito• Dock House Restaurant• Donna’s Deli at the Pig• Finz Grill• Front Street Grill at Stillwater• Moonrakers• National Charity League• Rib Eyes Steakhouse• Roland’s Barbeque• Royal James Cafe• Scarborough Fare Catering
• The General Store• Turner Street Market
For a special treat this year, Fishtowne Brew House serve samples of their locally crafted beers and ales.
Tickets for the Thanksgiving feast are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the event.
Tickets are limited to 250, and sell out quickly, so be sure to purchase ahead of time.
The Jumble Sale serves as a fundraiser for the restora-tion and education projects of the BHA. This event, along with the Thanksgiving feast, has been going on for more than 20 years.
Vendor spaces are still avail-able for the Jumble Sale.
For more information on these events or to download and submit a vendor appli-cation form, contact Alison Sargent at 252-728-5225 or [email protected], or visit beauforthistoricsite.org.
To purchase tickets to the Community Thanksgiving Feast, call the BHA or stop by the Welcome Center, at 130 Turner St., Beaufort.

Twenty-two top aquariums across the United States – includ-ing the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores – have already elimi-nated 5 million straws in their coordinated campaign to reduce sources of plastic pollution.
Now they’re upping their game by encouraging individuals, businesses and cities around the country to cut back on single-use plastic, starting with plastic straws, by Earth Day 2019.
Banding together in a joint #FirstStep to plastic-free waters, the aquariums seek commitments from 500 more businesses, pledg-es from individuals and policy action by municipalities, all to reduce a growing source of sin-gle-use plastic waste that harms ocean and freshwater wildlife around the world.
The campaign will start dur-ing #NoStrawNovember, a nation-wide movement asking people
who don’t need them to refuse plastic straws for 30 days.
“Cutting back on plastic straws doesn’t solve the prob-lem, but it’s an important first step,” PKS Aquarium Director Hap Fatzinger, said in a recent release. “It gets people thinking and talking about ways they can reduce their reliance on single-use plastic items – and encour-ages the innovation of ocean-friendly alternatives.”
Aquariums up ante in national push to cut plastic pollutionThe #FirstStep campaign
includes:• Recruiting 500 new businesses to partner with aquariums across the country by committing to offer straws only on request, for a total of 1,000 businesses committed by Earth Day 2019.• An online pledge site (pledge.ourhands.org/) where individu-als can commit to make the last straw their first step to plastic-free waters.• Initiatives by partner aquari-ums to inspire cities in their regions to pass straws-on-request ordinances and other local mea-sures to reduce single-use plastic.• An opportunity for individuals to get tips via text message on ways to cut back on single-use plastic in their daily lives, by tex-ting (OCEAN to 49767).
Since the 2017 launch of the Aquarium Conservation Partnership, 22 partner aquari-ums in 17 states, located on the coasts and in the heartland, have eliminated more than 5 million straws a year, stopped using plas-tic shopping bags and have com-mitted to significantly reduce or eliminate plastic beverage bottles by 2020.
Nearly 500 businesses, includ-ing United Airlines, the Chicago White Sox, Dignity Health hospi-tals and Farmer Brothers Coffee, have made plastic-reduction com-mitments in collaboration with ACP aquariums.
Municipalities in aquarium communities, and California on a statewide basis, have enacted laws either banning single-use plastic from many food service operations or requiring busi-nesses to offer plastic straws only when customers request them. ACP partner aquariums are sup-porting these efforts in a variety of ways.
“There’s new scientific evi-dence, almost on a weekly basis, about the ways that plastic pol-lution is harming marine and aquatic wildlife,” Monterey Bay Aquarium Executive Director Julie Packard said. “I find it so encour-aging that people are responding quickly to the threat – by chang-ing their habits, and asking busi-nesses and governments to step up and take action.”
“The health of our lakes and rivers is important not only to the wildlife that live there – they

This month, the Cassie Howe Algeo Gallery will feature the col-orful paintings of Beaufort resi-dent Drew Hoover.
This exhibit will be at the new gallery location in the hallway connecting the new and old lob-bies 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 Carteret Health Care Foundation Office.
Ms. Hoover is a painter from Beaufort with a degree in journal-ism from UNC-Chapel Hill and a major in fine art from Meredith College.
She is on the board of direc-tors of Pocosin Arts School of Fine Crafts and is represented by several galleries.
Until recently, she was pri-marily a pastel and oil painter, and she juries into Pastel Society Exhibitions regularly.
In 2017, her work placed first in the Wilmington Annual Fine Art Exhibition. She completed two portraits for the Faces of the Fallen Project at Arlington National Cemetery. She was illustrator for backdrops and the graphic artist for promotions for “Hansel and Gretel” by Capital Opera Raleigh, Cary Conservatory of Ballet and Capital City Girls Chorus.
She lives in Beaufort with her husband, Charlie, and their two English Springer Spaniel gallery assistants, Emma and Gatsby.
In 2017, her paintings changed dramatically from very represen-tational works to fluid and layered mixed media pieces that incor-porate 3-D textures emphasizing movement.
She attributes this to living beside water.
“I enjoy the ebb and flow of the tides, the swirls of slow or frothy currents, the textures of bottoms, from sticky mud marsh-es spiked with tough grasses to oyster beds or gently sculpted sand and always, luscious, wet colors with lots of dramatic spar-kle,” Ms. Hoover said.
This new approach occurs through two basic processes. One process is to build up the surface of the canvas with mixtures of putty, sand, crumbled eggshells and other found objects, then to paint and wash layers of acrylics.
These pieces usually tend to be more representational, for exam-
Drew Hoover to present work at hospital art gallery
ple underwater imaginings.The alternative process is to
pour fluid acrylic paint directly onto the panel, top it with sea glass or chunks of cut glass, beads, oyster shells or other objects, then cover the entire piece with resin.
According to Ms. Hoover, these pieces are abstracted, yet they convey motion with organic, lacey edges between colors, pops of “cells,” and sometimes accidental little images within areas of the paintings, like pictures we imag-ine in clouds formations.
When not painting with these contemporary methods, Ms. Hoover’s realistic interpretations of landscapes in oils and pastels emphasize vast skies, water, veg-etation and life.
In these works, time of day is indicated by color choices and the direction of light.
Like the fluid paintings, these classic pieces have strong shapes, organic lines and movement, as felt in nature.
For each piece of art, the medi-
um and method that has the most appropriate characteristics for the theme is chosen.
This may include traditional charcoal, colored pencils, pastels and oils, especially for portraits and pet portraits, where very close likenesses are valued.
Artwork by Drew Hoover, like this painting “The Drifter,” is on display this month at the Cassie Howe Algeo Gallery. (Contributed photo)
Beaufort Wine & Food will feature a wine seminar on wines of the Rhone Valley Saturday, Nov. 17 starting at 2:30 pm.
The seminar will be held in the Beaufort Wine & Food retail wine store, 129 Middle Lane in Beaufort and will be presented by Laure Levesque, Queen of Wines.
The seminar will touch on the varieties and history of Rhone Valley wines. During the event, guests will sample six wines from France’s notable Rhone Valley, which will be paired with specialty appetiz-ers prepared by Chef Charles Benjamin Park of Beaufort Grocery Co.
“Beaufort Wine and Food is happy to once again part-ner with the Queen of Wines and Beaufort Grocery Co. for this exciting seminar,” said Jane Ellis, wine store manager of Beaufort Wine & Food.
A French native, Ms. Levesque has been fortunate enough to grow up in a fam-ily strongly connected to wine, with vineyards in several wine regions in France, and for whom wine truly defines a way of life.
After a 20-year career in the corporate world as an International Marketing Executive, Laure decided to create Queen of Wines LLC out of passion and with the
mission to connect winemak-ers from smaller family-owned estates in France with wine lov-ers in the U.S.
She started to source, import and distribute a curated selec-tion of “gem wines” from a variety of terroirs and appel-lations. She also designed a unique back label giving direct and easy access to all relevant information about each wine, making each glass of wine much more memorable and enjoyable.
Chef Park and Beaufort Grocery Co. are longtime sup-porters of Beaufort Wine & Food.
When not in his kitchen, he can be found working with the Carteret Community College Escoffier culinary program.
Tickets to the seminar are $35, and may be purchased by calling 252-515-0708, stop-ping by the Beaufort Wine & Food office at 129 Middle Lane or online at beaufortwineand-food.com.
Tickets are limited, and this event is expected to sell out.
Proceeds from Beaufort Wine & Food go towards the organization’s ongoing mis-sion to enrich life in Carteret County.
Since the organization’s inception in 2004, over $670,000 has been donated to charity and nonprofits serving the Crystal Coast.

The Broad Street Clinic is planning their signature fund-raising event for Saturday, Nov. 17 at Joslyn Hall on the Carteret Community College campus.
Due to the small venue of Joslyn Hall, there will be two seatings for the event, one at 6 p.m. and one at 8:30 p.m.
Each seating will begin with a social hour of beverages, appe-tizers and desserts followed by the concert.
By popular demand, the clinic will present an encore perfor-mance of “A Tribute to the Ladies of Song,” featuring Jeanne Jolly.
There will be songs by some of the music industry’s great-est performers, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Aretha Franklin and more, as well as a few holiday favorites to ring in the season.
“The clinic is thrilled to once again have Jeanne perform,” the organization said in a release. “This will be her fourth event supporting fundraising efforts for the clinic. She has established
quite a fan base in the area.” Ms. Jolly is an award-win-
ning singer and songwriter from Raleigh.
After graduating from the New England Conservatory with a master’s degree in vocal per-formance, Ms. Jolly began her musical career as a featured vocalist for Chris Botti, a Grammy Award-winning jazz trumpet player.
While touring with Mr. Botti, she worked with world-renowned symphonies and performed at venues such as Carnegie Hall and played marquee events such as the Monterey Jazz Festival.
She has also performed with the N.C. Symphony’s Pops Concert.
Her performances have received rave reviews.
The Boston Globe calls her “one of contemporary music’s best kept secrets. She is a rev-elation when you sit in on one of her concerts.”

Internationally renowned Celtic musician and singer Jennifer Licko, a Swansboro native, will bring her new high-energy show, “Highland Echoes,” to Jacksonville Tuesday, Nov. 20.
The performance will begin at 7 p.m. at the Jacksonville Country Club.
Ms. Licko, who lives in Brazil, had wanted to do a hometown Swansboro show as she does every Christmas season, but had to move it to Jacksonville because of the lingering effects of Hurricane Florence.
“Highland Echoes” tells the sto-ries of the Scottish highlanders through music and dance. The performance provides audiences an innovative blend of Scottish dance, music and song.
According to a press release from Ms. Licko, whose popular Christmas shows in the area have drawn big crowds in recent years, the performance draws upon on “Scottish traditions that are relat-ed to North Carolina’s heritage” of bluegrass and folk music and the dances that go with them.
It promises to be a show that appeals to diverse audiences of all ages.
The show features perfor-
mances by a six-piece interna-tional band that includes Patrick Mangan, the lead fiddle player for “Riverdance” for the past 12 years. Ms. Licko earned an award for Celtic Album of the Year in 2014 from Celtic Music Radio for “A Thousand Curses Upon Love.”
Another separate perform-er will be Bill Caudill, bagpiping director at St. Andrews University in Laurinburg.
The music, according to the press release, is complemented by Scottish dancing by champion highland dancers.
“We are also opening up the floor to teach the audience how to do a few Scottish country danc-es,” Ms. Licko said. “This is an evening for all to enjoy. And we do have a few surprises in store for everyone who attends.”
Ms. Licko called the show “The story of Scotland’s passionate his-tory and settlement in the new land, through music and dance.”
It’s produced by Bob Noble, who has long been Ms. Licko’s key-boardist and musical director and once played in the popular band Dexy’s Midnight Runners, and has also performed with Cliff Richard, Judie Tzuke, Joan Armatrading, Tanita Tikaram, Feargal Sharkey, Aha and Bob Geldof of Boomtown Rats and Live Aid fame.
The show is choreographed by Sandra Gribbin and is sponsored in part by The St. Andrew’s Society of North Carolina.
Ms. Licko said the tour, which also includes shows elsewhere in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, coincides with the beginning of the fourth season of the hit TV show “Outlander,” which “portrays Scotland in the 1700s when they lost their biggest battle to the British.”
In season four, she said, “We’ll actually see the characters immi-grate to the Carolinas, as it hap-pened in history.” Some of the filming of the fourth season, she said, was done at the Tryon Palace in New Bern.
“This is a show coming in at a time when Americans are passionate about their Scottish ancestry and have been drawn in the by the passion of ‘Outlander,’” Ms. Licko said.
“I believe that ‘Highland Echoes’ has the potential to do for Scottish dance what ‘Riverdance’ did for Irish dance.
“‘Highland Echoes’ is a dedica-tion to all of those highlanders who were brave in the fight for their own culture, and a celebra-tion of their ancestors who con-tinue to honor Scottish traditions and culture,” she continued.
Licko to present Scottish music, dance show
The show, she said, “began its journey as a Celtic Christmas per-formance by The Jennifer Licko Band. (I) ended the show(s) with a Scottish step dance, and after every show, audiences requested more of the dancing and more Scottish songs.
“After seven years of the annual tour, (I) took off a year to plan and create the nonprofit compa-ny, Highland Echoes, to promote
Scottish traditions and culture.“The idea of launching the first
tour in November and includ-ing some holiday music came from numerous requests for The Jennifer Licko Celtic Christmas Show to return to the stage …”
She decided to turn the dance direction over to Highland Dance champion and ScotFit Founder Ms. Gribbin.
“Partnering with a professional highland dancer who shares my passion … and who represents a level of professionalism that exceeds expectations is key to making this show reach its awe-some potential,” Ms. Licko con-tinued.
She met Ms. Gribbin when they were dance students at the Jo Moore Kalat school of Scottish Dance in Cary.
“The dances, set to live music provided by the band, all help tell the story of Scottish history and culture,” Ms. Licko said.
Ms. Licko said the show will also include more obscure Scots Gaelic songs and holiday music.
Tickets for the Jacksonville show are $25 and $50, with discount tickets for $20 for military person-nel and $12 for children.

Those who attend the Jonkonuu Symposium will be able to explore the origins of the historical event Jonkonnu, a Christmas-time activ-ity of enslaved Africans in the Americas.
Jonkonnu is an African-American holiday, whose roots can be traced back to Jamaica and the slave ships from west Africa. According to Tryon Palace, historical records men-tion celebrations of Jonkonnu taking place near Edenton as early as 1824.
This free symposium is from 9-7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 at the N.C. History Center. A breakfast reception starts at 8 a.m.
The event will feature Tryon Palace’s own Jonkonnu Troupe, the McIntosh Shouters of Georgia and a wide range of guest speakers who cover topics such as “African Traditions and Cultures,” the “Ring Shout,” “Gulla-Geechee Culture,” “Jonkonnu in the Bahamas” and modern hip-hop music.
The one-day event con-cludes with a keynote dinner address by Dr. Mark Anthony Neal of Duke University, an author, scholar and nationally recognized expert and critic
are a recreation and economic resource for us all,” said Bridget Coughlin, president and CEO of Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium. “Beyond inspiring the public to take action, it’s our duty to empower businesses and com-munity leaders to raise the issue of plastic pollution taking place in both freshwater and marine hab-itats, lead by example and make long-lasting, impactful change.”
“A sea change is underway, and people want to do their part to ensure the future of our ocean planet,” National Aquarium President and Chief Executive Officer John Racanelli said. “All 22 of the aquariums that make up the ACP are com-mitted to reducing single-use plastics, and it is now our hope to inspire and serve as a model for other organizations and com-
panies as well as individuals. The reality is that if everyone does their part, we can make a mean-ingful impact.”
ACP’s initiative has already expanded globally. Its work sparked the European Commission and United Nations Environment Program – with support from five international partners, including ACP – to announce a commitment by European Union Commissioner for Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Karmenu Vella at the fifth international “Our Ocean” conference October 29-30 in Bali, Indonesia, to coor-dinate a global coalition of 200 aquariums by 2019 to raise pub-lic awareness about plastic pol-lution.

12The Carteret Community
Foundation has launched a month-long fundraising cam-paign to boost community grantmaking that supports local nonprofit organizations.
The Chairman’s Challenge, which began Nov. 1 and is spon-sored by the N.C. Community Foundation, raises money for the local community grantmak-ing fund. Any funds raised from this campaign receive a propor-tional match made by anony-mous donors.
Because all contributions to a local affiliate’s community grantmaking fund stays in that community, the Chairman’s Challenge campaign ensures local dollars stay local.
The local community grant-making fund is an important resource that supports nonprof-its. The community fund is man-aged by the local affiliate’s board of advisors, meaning grantmak-ing decisions are made by those who know the community best.
Those interested in giving to the campaign can give online at nccommunityfoundation.org or write a check and mail it to the N.C. Community Foundation,
3737 Glenwood Ave., Suite 460, Raleigh, NC 27612.
The Carteret Community Foundation is a growing family of philanthropic funds, source of grants for local causes and partner for donors.
The CCF is led by a local vol-unteer advisory board that helps build community assets through the creation of permanent endowments, makes grants and leverages leadership.
Board members include President Terry Robertson, Vice President Debra Harvell, Secretary Rhonda Scibal, Treasurer Chuck Jordan, imme-diate past president Richard McIntyre, as well as Sammy Brooks, Peggy Burns, Ruth Davis, Matt Dodge, Michelle Gregory, Kniffy Hamilton, Ray Harris, Debra Harvell, Beth Henry, John Humphries, Corey Lewis, Jimmy Mercer, Ryan Morris, Ginger Parker, Wayne Schriever and Jan Sutton.
For further information, con-tact NCCF Regional Director Kim Ball at 252-288-5706 or [email protected], or visit the NCCF website at nccommunityfoundation.org.
CCF launches campaign
For the November Patch of the Month, the Amphibians and Reptiles Patch Program, Girl Scouts will dive deeper into the world of these creatures by exploring their characteristics and environments.
Programs like these are impor-tant to the Girl Scout leadership experience because they encour-age girls to get hands-on with learning, discover their passions for science and increase value in environmental stewardship.
All Girl Scouts who complete the patch program are required to find out the characteristics that make an animal an amphibian or reptile and discover the relation-ship between water quality and its effect on amphibians.
To learn more about amphib-ians and reptiles, Girl Scouts can choose between activities like act-ing out the life cycle of a frog, inviting a herpetologist to come speak at a troop meeting or creat-ing a diagram of the anatomy of an amphibian or reptile.
To connect with what they learned, girls can either make themed crafts or visit an ecosys-tem with amphibians and rep-
tiles to observe or learn about an amphibian or reptile that lives outside of North Carolina and research why.
To take action and make an impact that benefits the animals, Girl Scouts complete service proj-ects like brainstorming causes of poor water quality, participating in an area cleanup event or building a tree frog or toad house.
According to the Girl Scout Research Institute, Girl Scouts are more likely than nonGirl Scouts to develop an awareness for environ-mental stewardship and pursue careers in the science, technology, engineering and math fields.
This patch program was creat-ed by a Girl Scout working on her Silver Award project, the highest honor a Cadette can earn.
Inspired by her love for animals and wanting other Girl Scouts to feel motivated to protect them, she sought to invoke change through awareness.
