BY CHUCK WATERS CONTRIBUTOR

For those that are looking for something fun to do on Friday, May 13, look no further than Webb Memorial Library’s screen-ing of “The Mutilator.”

Successful attorney A.B. “Buddy” Cooper always had a yen for movies – his dad had an interest in a drive-in movie theater in Beaufort. So, when he wanted to make a “popcorn muncher” slasher movie in 1984, he put up his bankroll and lent out his condo near the Oceanana Pier in Atlantic Beach to facilitate filming, “Fall Break,” which later morphed into “The Mutilator.”

Initially released on VHS by Vestron video, the movie went to No. 13 on Variety’s “Top 40” chart for films on the week.

Well, after dropping off the radar in the 1990s and beyond, the good news is that “The Mutilator” has been recently released on Blu-Ray and DVD by Arrow Video.

In celebration of that, the library decided to host a screen-ing of the movie. What could be a better day for showing a scary movie?

Mr. Cooper brought in major Hollywood talent to facilitate pro-duction of “The Mutilator” includ-ing co-director John Douglass and special effects wizard Mark Shostram (“Videodrome”).

Viewers will see many Morehead City and Atlantic Beach landmarks, including the Atlantic Beach causeway, Bart’s Mini Mart and Harold’s Restaurant, current-ly the Island Grill, and the Webb Memorial Library, which served as an exterior shot as a girls’ dormitory.

So, what could be a more fit-ting setting for bringing “The Mutilator” back home?

Mr. Cooper is scheduled to attend the screening and give some opening remarks about his experiences about financing and producing the film.

Admission is free, but dona-tions will be accepted for the benefit of the library. There will be a poster give away to those who donate $10 to the library.

Refreshments will be available for sale. The showing will take place in the upstairs room and seating is limited to 40 patrons, so call the library at 252-726-3012 to reserve a spot.

“The Mutilator” is not for

T�� mo�i� t�at wou�dn’t di�: ‘T�� Muti�ator’ �i��s

the faint of heart. The newly-released DVD version includes scenes not included in the initial released, which was rated X by the MPAA.

“I declined and released it unrated,” Mr. Cooper said. “It was

a gore film and made for gore fans, and I felt that to remove the gore would be to remove the film’s attractions for its fans.”

So, don’t say you weren’t warned. This is not one to bring the kiddies to.

“The Mutilator,” a 1984 slasher movie, will be shown at the Webb Memorial Library at 7 p.m. Friday, May 13. The screening is free, and there are 40 spots available for the showing. Call the library to reserve a seat. (Contributed art)

BY LINDSEY BAHRASSOCIATED PRESS

Conventional movie wisdom would suggest that there can only be diminishing returns with long-running franchis-es. There must be a break-ing point, right? Especially at movie four, five, six and beyond. There are exceptions, sure, but even the painstak-ingly plotted Marvel films have had low points.

And yet in the ashes of “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the brain trust behind Marvel Studios and directors Joe and Anthony Russo have built what is easily one of the strongest films of their so-called cin-ematic universe with “Captain America: Civil War,” an engag-ing, lively and just flat out fun use of the characters we’ve gotten to know across the last eight years and 12 films.

As our interest waned in the prospect of yet another supervillain threatening to

destroy an entire city or plan-et, Marvel smartly pivoted and turned the conflict inward. With the near inevitability of a civilian death toll any time the Avengers are involved in an incident, the UN steps in with an accord proposing regula-tion and oversight. Essentially now, the Avengers need per-mission before they jump into action.

Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) is for it. Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) is against it. And the rest of the Avengers must decide where they side, leading to some interesting alliances – like Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) going against her pal Cap., Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) positioning against his friend Black Widow and so on.

Some of it is rather silly, especially the villain Zemo, whose somewhat nonsense plan leaves a lot to chance and coincidence. Daniel Brühl,

as always, is great in the role, but still little more than a plot device – as though the screenwriters thought that it would be too dark for the good guys to fracture without a push from a manipulative outsider.

The good news is that this Avengers movie in disguise keeps everything rather inti-mate for a superhero movie. There are only so many times these films can get away with scenes of massive destruction – the thrill (and horror) of the spectacle starts to dull. In “Civil War,” the combat is mostly hand-to-hand, the stakes are personal and the set pieces small. The show-down of the superhero teams is confined to an airport run-way, for instance.

That airport sequence, by the way, is exceptionally enter-taining. It’s both witty and visually engaging and worth the price of admission. Cap., Falcon (Anthony Mackie),

Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), Hawkeye, Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) face off against Iron Man, Black Widow, War Machine (Don Cheadle), Vision (Paul Bettany) and the two newbies, Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman).

It’s also hard not to be a little cynical about the obvi-ous corporate machinations of “Civil War,” like the intro-duction of Spider-Man and Black Panther – two charac-ters who we already know are getting their own mov-ies. Every moment with them feels like a trailer, and like the best trailers, we see only the finest stuff. “Civil War” dares you to not be won over by Mr. Holland’s youthful come-dic charm and Mr. Boseman’s depth as the stoic prince in the killer suit.

We also can conjecture, for instance, that Spider-Man doesn’t ultimately have

much of an impact on the plot because the actual Spider-Man movie will eventually come from Sony, not Disney. Does any of this really matter if the movies are good? No, of course not. We just know too much about the roadmap to make any of it seem sponta-neous, surprising and organic. Characters can’t just break out from the pack on their own merits. If they could, Marvel probably would have resur-rected the idea for a Black Widow movie by now.

The thing is, Marvel makes it funny, and that charm and care is what has and will keep audiences coming back over and over again.

“Captain America: Civil War,” a Walt Disney Studios release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “extended sequences of violence, action and mayhem.” Running time: 147 minutes. Three stars out of four.

The Carteret County Domestic Violence program presents the ninth annual 100 Men for Change fundraiser.

A man of change is a father, brother, husband, grandfather, son, uncle, friend or co-work-er who believes domestic vio-lence is a crime.

He believes he is part of the solution and can make a difference locally with a chari-table donation of $100.

Donations can also be made in honor or memory of a loved one or special person in their life.

Domestic Violence is an epi-demic, both locally and nation-ally. Last year, Carteret County law enforcement responded to 1,727 domestic violence calls and provided direct ser-vices to more than 415 men, women and children.

“Domestic violence affects hundreds of women and chil-dren in our community each year, many of whom have to flee their homes in order to be safe from further abuse,” said Glenda Riggs, executive direc-tor of the Carteret County

Dom�sti� Vio��n�� program to �o�d annua� �undrais�rDomestic Violence program.

“As members of this com-munity we all have an obli-gation to do what we can to help our children grow up in safe homes, free from fear and abuse. Through our 100 Men for Change Campaign, we are asking that the com-munity, and especially the men in our community, stand up with us and take a stand against domestic violence by making a contribution to sup-port our emergency shelter and services.

“Your tax deductible dona-tion will help to keep women and children safe while they seek to break the cycle of violence for themselves and future generations,” she added.

To join the Carteret County 100 Men for Change, donations can be made by Friday, June 10, online at 100MenForChangeCarteret.com or by mail to CCDVP, P.O. Box 2279, Morehead City, N.C. 28557.

The name of every man, men’s group or business who signs on to Men for Change with a donation by Friday, June 10, will be listed in a full-page newspaper adver-tisement on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19, in the Carteret County News-Times.

Business owners are encouraged to become a community partner by pro-moting a violence-free work-place with a donation of $100 or more.

A quickly recognizable style shows the unique creativity of an artist.

Many artists hope to achieve this, and the Banks of the Arts, Craven County Arts Council and Gallery, presents one such artist’s output: Sally Anger.

“Moving Colors” opens with a reception during New Bern’s ArtWalk from 5-8 p.m. Friday, May 13, and will continue through Thursday, June 30.

So what is “Moving Colors” all about?

One of the joys of creativity is the chance to experiment and try new things. Ms. Anger shares her love of art experi-mentation with the delight of seeing new things while trav-eling.

Both were combined into a four-month cross-country trip. She also felt that she needed to do it alone.

The trip was inspiration-al, Ms. Anger relates. While crossing the country, she made

daily paintings, drawings and musings. She came away with greater appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us and for the power of art to focus it.

Moving Colors is a show about the adventure – not just the trip, but the inner jour-ney. One of her goals was to chronicle through art not only the beauty witnessed in the people and places she went, but also the emotions they invoke.

The theme tying the show together is the concept of “flow” – the flow of many beautiful waters, flow of ideas, of emotions, of conversation, even of traffic, and ultimately the flow of life through time.

Ms. Anger grew up in Beaufort. She left her career as a nutritionist in 2003 to fol-low her lifelong dream of art and has never looked back.

For more information on Ms. Anger’s artwork, visit www.sallyanger.com.

BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES

Members of the Lewis fam-ily are well-known through-out Eastern North Carolina for their renowned boatbuilding skills, that earned them the N.C. Heritage Award.

Jamie, Houston and James Lewis will be honored at the N.C. Heritage Award ceremony at 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 25, at the Duke Energy Performing Arts Center in Raleigh.

Recipients of the N.C. Heritage Award, presented by the N.C. Arts Council, range from internationally acclaimed musicians to folks who quietly practice their art in rural and family settings. The Lewis fam-ily has been providing Harkers Island and the surrounding area with boats and family tra-dition for more than 60 years.

The family business start-ed with Burgess Lewis, who learned his life skills of fish-ing and boatbuilding along the shores of Harkers Island.

Working with Brady Lewis and other foundation-builders of Harkers Island boat design, Burgess developed his own unique style that continued to his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Today the tradition con-tinues with Jamie, Houston and James. Lewis Brothers Boatworks is where the men build custom boats of all sizes, ranging from workboats to sport boats.

Jamie, son of Burgess, start-ed building boats when he was 15 years old. The first boat he

L�wis �ami�y to b� �onor�d at �C H�ritag� Award ��r�mony

ever built was for his neighbor for just $5.

“I wanted to see if I could do it all on my own,” Jamie said. “I built a lot for myself so if I messed up no one would see it.”

The tradition carried on to James, son of Jamie, who has been building boats since 1989.

A typical workday for the Lewis family varies from day

to day depending on the type of work that needs done.

According to James, the group usually only works on one boat at a time and work could involve stripping, sand-ing or painting a boat.

The largest boat built by the Lewis family was 70 feet, and was so large it had to be built outside the boathouse.

Building boats is how this family makes its living, and

each boat is made with a spe-cial touch. But building a work-boat takes time.

“A 22-foot boat, depending on the finish, flat or shiny, can take up to a month and a half to complete,” James said. “If it has shiny paint it can take up to four months. A 45-foot boat with shiny paint could take about a year.”

Custom-built Lewis family boats begin as just an idea. The boatbuilders do not typi-cally use plans when designing boats.

“With big boats, we sketch out the plan on a piece of ply-wood, but after the sketch the boats are pretty much made from an image in the head,” James said.

From there, the design starts with framing guides. Once the guides are placed, the boats are built.

Jamie, Houston and James found out about the N.C. Heritage Award nomination last fall. They were nomi-nated for the award by Karen Amspacher, executive director of the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center

on Harkers Island.“They represent everything

that Harkers Island is and was,” Ms. Amspacher said. “Those are the characteristics and values that heritage awards are about. The Lewis family is exactly what the heritage awards try to honor.”

The Lewis family was shocked and pleased by the nomination.

“At the time I didn’t under-stand what it was,” James said when he first found out about the nomination. “Then I start-ed really getting into it and seeing what it was about.”

“We have a lot of compe-tition on the island,” Jamie added. “It is a big honor to be nominated.”

Boatbuilding is more than just a career for these men, it is a lifestyle. When asked what they would be doing if they were not building boats, Jamie could not even fathom an idea.

“I don’t know anything else,” he said. “I have been doing it for over 60 years.”

James considered a career in the military, but had eye problems and could not join. He has been working on boats ever since.

The Lewis family joins five other North Carolinians who will receive the award includ-ing Maceo Parker, an interna-tionally-recognized funk, jazz and rhythm and blues musi-cian from Kinston; Sheila Kay Adams, a seventh-generation ballad singer, storyteller and musician from Sodom Laurel; Montagnard Dega weavers H Ju Nie and H Ngach Rahlan, who brought their mastery of spin-ning, dying and weaving from the highlands of Vietnam from Greensboro; and Marc Pruett, renowned banjo player, song-writer and part of the popular bluegrass band, Balsam Range from Canton.

Tickets for the award cer-emony can be purchased at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center for $25 a piece. Those attend-ing the award ceremony will have to provide their own transportation.

For more information, call the museum at 252-728-1500. For more information about the N.C. Heritage Awards, visit www.ncarts.org.

Loon Day is an annual one-day event in May hosted by the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild. This event boasts a decoy competition, lunch, a live auction and more.

This year’s event starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 14, at the H. Curt Salter building, 1574 Harkers Island Road.

Decoys that are to be entered into the decoy competition are hid-den before the judging so they cannot be prejudged from a closer perspective.

The first several years the decoy competition was for loons only, but this year all types of floating decoys will be accepted, including puddle, divers, geese, confidence and, of course, loons.

This is a donation competition. The decoy acts as the entry fee. All decoys entered become property of the guild.

This year will also feature a dis-play of antique Carteret County blackheads. Owners of these decoys are encouraged to bring it out and share it with all the carvers and decoy enthusiasts.

The exhibit will only last for the duration of Loon Day, but it’ll be a great opportunity to see some examples of Carteret County black-heads all in one place.

Decoys will be photographed and included in future guild pub-lications. Call Chase Luker at 252-995-2203 prior to Loon Day to make arrangements to display an item.

The judging for the com-petition will take place at the Harkers Island Bridge area with the decoys out in the water. The judges will make their evalua-tions from the shore. Everyone is invited to come to see the decoys out in the water.

Entries have the chance of win-ning a $200 first prize cash award, a $100 cash award for second place, a $50 cash award for third, or a $25 cash award for fourth place.

Everyone is invited to partic-ipate, regardless of skill, as this event is to benefit the guild.

For competition rules and regu-lations, call 252-504-3520.

After the judging takes place, and everyone will return to the H. Curt Salter Building, where a lunch by Fat Fella’s BBQ & Grille will be served, and the winners of the decoy competition will be announced.

Finally, there will be a live auc-tion of the competition decoys, including all the ribbon winners, as well as other decoys and items.

The very first Loon Day celebra-

Continuing tradition: Loon Day is May 14

Loon Day, an annual decoy judging competition, held at the H. Curt Salter building on Harkers Island, is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 14. (Dylan Ray photo)tion was held 15 years ago, but the event was dropped until the open-ing of the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. At that time, the guild began to hold the event again on the second Saturday of May each year.

Loon hunting and loon eating are traditions born and bred on Harkers Island and Salter Path. In the olden days, the locals lived on a part of the outer banks known as Shackleford Banks.

These locals later moved to Harkers Island and other local com-munities after a series of devastat-ing hurricanes. Times were hard and these people lived off of the water and hunted whatever they could.

Hunters would station them-selves about 100 yards apart on Cape Lookout and shoot loons in the spring of the year as they crossed the Banks in the migration from the ocean to the northern breeding grounds.

It was not uncommon for there to be 100 or more hunters lined up and down the beach for the morning flight. This was a valuable source of food back then, but as time went by, fewer people hunt-ed loons as the older generation passed away.

However, the guild recognizes this custom as being an impor-tant part of their historic past and heritage.

For more information about any of these events, how to become a member of the guild, or the history and mission statement of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild, visit www.decoyguild.com.
