The Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina will host their annual fundraising event, Summer Jam.

The event is from 7 p.m. to mid-night Friday, June 24, at the Coral Bay Club in Atlantic Beach.

It will be an evening of dancing, heavy hors d’oeuvres, complimen-tary beer and wine and a cash bar. Liquid Jam will provide the musical entertainment.

After more than two decades of bringing audiences to their feet, Liquid Pleasure has become a multi-cultural icon. Sometimes when they are traveling on the road, the guys get in a nostalgic mood, remembering times gone by.

“When we were still playing

Liquid Pleasure to perform at Boys & Girls �lubs’ fundraiser

the college circuit heavily, with groups like Hootie & the Blowfish and REM, the Spinners were even scheduled to warm up for us once,” said veteran member Melvin Farrington.

In 1981, the group recorded an album, but immediately refocused to what had been their mainstay from the beginning: the dance and show circuit.

This band, who are like brothers in many ways, love being in touch with people like them, and love playing a variety of good music, and revel in playing it live to fans who appreciate the music.

The evening is made pos-sible by Transportation Impact, Diamond Shoal Jewelers, Al

Williams Properties, Blue Ocean Market, R.A. Jefferies, Jeff Wood Enterprises, Pam Bird – Al Williams Properties, Port City Motors, Taco Bell – Hagan & Hagan, Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative, Re/Max Coastal Properties, Animal Hospital of Onslow County – David Altman, DVM & Harriet Altman. ViaMark Advertising and 107.9 FM provide additional support.

Tickets are limited and cost $50 per person. Proceeds from the event go to support Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina. Tickets can be purchased at the Sunshine Lady Club at 3321 Bridges St. in Morehead City, online at www.bgccc.net/summer-jam or by call-ing 252-222-3007.

BY JAKE COYLEASSOCIATED PRESS

In Pixar’s hands, the ocean – equal parts danger and won-der – is a vast metaphor for the choppy waters of parenting. Cloistered coral reefs of home are surrounded by frightful drop-offs and strong currents that can sweep a little fish out to an immense sea. When the difference between survival and shark bait is flipper-thin, how much line do parents give before reeling in?

“Finding Dory,” a sequel to 2003’s “Finding Nemo,” shifts the tale from Nemo, the clown-fish with a weak fin, to Dory, the blue tang with short term memory loss – or as the baby Dory seen early in the film says, “remembery loss.”

The adventures of both Dory and Nemo are born out of straying too far from anxious parents. The gulf of separation

stretches wider and longer in “Finding Dory,” but it’s covered the same way: by pluckily over-coming genetic handicaps and trusting in the Pacific-sized love of family. In the Pixar brood, the sweetly sentimental “Finding” movies are the most ready-made for parent-kid bonding; they would would inspire count-less father-son fishing trips if that didn’t mean hooking the movies’ heroes.

“Finding Dory” promotes the original’s daffy supporting char-acter (so perfectly voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) to protago-nist. But it’s not a simple switch in perspective: In seeing through her forgetful fisheyes, you real-ize how terrifyingly disorienting it is to be Dory. “Finding Dory” is “Memento” under the sea, with a much more chipper lead forever at pains to remember why and where she’s going.

The film, directed by Andrew Stanton, picks up six months

after “Finding Nemo.” Dory is liv-ing with Nemo (Hayden Rolence, replacing Alexander Gould) and Marlin (Albert Brooks), but she’s nagged by flickers of memory of her family.

A flashback of Dory’s child-hood follows. Though it doesn’t reach the gentle poetry of the famous montage in “Up,” it movingly reveals Dory’s origins: a challenged fish whose parents (Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton) teach her mantras for coping (“Just keep swimming”), but are helpless when a current sucks her away. Dory grows up a lost and confused orphan.

Energized by clues of remem-brance, Dory, Nemo and a reluctant Marlin travel from Australia to California, where her search leads to the Marine Life Institute.

So much of the dazzle of “Finding Nemo” was the color-ful richness of its aquatic life: sharks in recovery, pelicans

interested in dentistry, Willem Dafoe’s battle-scarred striped fish. So why, with oceans to explore, does “Finding Dory” cling so closely to the shore?

The trip across the Pacific goes in a flash. The action takes place almost entirely jumping between tanks at the institute (subbed in by Pixar for an origi-nally planned SeaWorld-like location) and in a number of less exotic (and less creative) scampers on land.

The sidekick here is a sullen seven-legged octopus named Hank (Ed O’Neill), who helps Dory navigate the complex to facilitate his own escape. But the movie’s high point unques-tionably belongs to the pair of British sea lions (Idris Elba and Dominic West, “Wire” veterans reunited) who bark at any crea-ture that dares approach their sunning rock.

“Finding Dory,” bright and clever like most all Pixar releas-

es, has the animation studio’s familiar blend of wit, heart and visual detail. But it’s missing its own magic. Like Dory’s ques-tions, it feels a bit like a repeat. It’s certainly no “Cars 2” (Pixar’s low point), but neither does it approach the glory of “Toy Story 2.”

Pleasant as it is, if “Finding Dory” feels a little disap-pointing, it’s partly because the appetizer upstages the main course. “Piper,” Alan Barillaro’s six-minute short that precedes the film, is about a baby sandpiper learning to feed, scampering in and out of the surf. The photorealistic imagery may be the best yet for Pixar. In the 13 years from “Finding Nemo” to last year’s clunky but gorgeously animated “The Good Dinosaur,” Pixar – all the while making us tear up – has effectively mastered water.

Fresh pork:Tired of the same old go-to

grilling recipes? Shake up a backyard barbecue with fresh pork this summer. From ten-der ribs to mouth-watering tenderloins and juicy chops, the options are endless.

Take a cookout to the next level with these grilling tips and recipes from award-win-ning celebrity pit masters Tuffy Stone and Moe Cason:

• Use fresh, high-quality cuts of meat, like Smithfield Fresh Pork, which is available in a variety of cuts and season-ings. • Allow cooked meats to rest 3-5 minutes before serving to lock in natural juices. • Check for proper done-ness with a meat thermom-eter. Remember meats will continue cooking after they’re removed from the grill.

SMOKED BACK RIBS WITH ROASTED TOMATO, HONEY AND CHIPOTLE GLAZE Recipe courtesy of Tuffy Stone Prep time: 10 minutes, plus 1 hour stand timeCook time: 3½ - 4 hoursServings: 3-6

DRY RUB3 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper1 teaspoon onion powder 2 tablespoons brown sugar2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

RIBS3 racks Smithfield Pork Back RibsApple juice, in spray bottle

GLAZE1 can (14.5 ounces) fire roasted diced tomatoes 1 cup diced onion1 tablespoon minced garlic2 tablespoons olive oil¼ cup tomato paste1 teaspoon chile powder¼ cup apple cider vinegar1 teaspoon paprika¼ cup honey3 tablespoons pureed chipotle chiles in adobo sauceOne hour before smoking, make dry rub. Combine all ingredients in small bowl;

mix well. Pat ribs dry with paper towels; generously coat both sides with rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat grill for indirect cooking at 250-275 degrees. Place the ribs, meaty side down, over drip pan and cook 2 hours, spraying both

sides with apple juice every 30 minutes. Add about 12 coals to grill every 45 minutes to maintain heat.

Meanwhile, sauté tomatoes, onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; cook 15 minutes until onions are tender; let cool. Carefully pour glaze into blender and pulse until smooth. Add water to thin, if needed.

Remove ribs from grill; brush both sides with glaze. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to grill and cook 1½-2 hours over indirect heat, until tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature.

Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place over indirect heat on grill and brush with more glaze. Cook 5 minutes until glaze is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more glaze.

Beaufort Historical Association’s big-gest fundraising event is this week-end.

This year, the Old Homes & Garden Tour is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday-Saturday, June 24-25, while the Antique Show & Sale is 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday-Saturday, June 24-25, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 26.

The tour weekend will commence with a concert by the Purvis Chapel Choir at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 23, at Purvis Chapel AME Zion Church at 215 Craven St. in Beaufort.

The historic church is in the National Heritage Registry and believed to be the oldest in the county that’s still in use.

The event will honor this year’s hon-orary chairman, Mamre Wilson, as well as the hundreds of volunteers who help make the busy weekend so successful.

The concert is free and open to the public with a reception following in the Parish Hall.

Tickets for the Old Homes & Gardens Tour are $18 in advance and $20 at the door, and the Antique Show & Sale tick-ets are $8 and good for all three days. Combination tickets for both events are available for $24 in advance and $25 the days of the events.

Beaufort’s historic district, which boasts more than 200 homes in the National Registered Historic District that are over a century old and several pri-vate residences more than 200 years old, has brought the town well-deserved attention as a tourist destination.

Every year Beaufort invites visitors and locals alike to breathe in the salty air, stroll down the tree-lined streets and discover an array of historic homes and buildings as part of the Old Homes & Garden Tour and Antiques Show & Sale Weekend.

The town welcomed the event from the beginning, though some may have been skeptical. In a club scrapbook from the time it’s noted, “Pay money to go inside my neighbor’s house? It’s nothing to see. Why it’s at least 150 years old – who wants to see that?”

Plenty of people did. A success from the beginning, the tour has now morphed into an entire weekend event

Historic Beaufort to celebrate 56th annual �ld Homes Tour and Antique Show Weekend

and a major attraction drawing visitors from all over the United States.

This year, the Old Homes & Gardens Tour will feature 13 private homes from the historic to the newly constructed, nine gardens and seven artists’ studios.

The restored buildings on the Beaufort Historic Site will be open Friday and Saturday with docents in period dress. Since the weekend has grown to encompass all sorts of events, check out the Antique Car Show on Saturday, June 25, and narrated tours of the Beaufort Historic District aboard a vintage English double-decker bus.

Visitors on the tour will be treated to a wide variety of décor from Victorian antiques to Scandinavian modern in homes ranging in age from 246 years old to new construction.

Featured homes on tour this year are the home of Will and Kristy Harvey; the

home of Ray and Kathy Revels; circa 1884 Charles Adair House; the home of Mike and Nikki Dunn; circa 1828 Joseph Piver House; the home of Lee and Jennifer Hamrick; circa 1904 Mary Hendrick House; the home of Kevin and Margo McHugh; the home of Chris and Jane Brasier; the home of Eileen Thompson; the home of Billy and Lee Taylor; circa 1840 the Rev. Jones House; the home of Richard Holcomb and Jamie Dement; the home of Michael Stevenson and Kim Thrower-Stevenson; circa 1910 Edwin E. Willis House; the home of Steven Kicklighter and Will Madison; the home of Charles and Kristen Shook; and the circa 1940 Fishhouse, the fishing cottage of Faye Styron.

Complementing the homes are the gardens of The Front Street Inn; Ron Hux; The Inn on Turner; Steve and Gail Bishop; Tom and Peg Midyette; The

Pecan Tree Inn; Lynn and Faye Eury; The Ann Street Inn; and David and Sydney Atkinson.

Since 1960, this annual weekend has not only been the largest fundraiser for the Beaufort Historical Association, but has also been a time of community involvement and pride where Beaufort residents open the doors of their homes to help and support the Beaufort Historical Association’s preservation efforts and educational programs.

This annual event gives visitors the chance to find out more about Beaufort’s history with most wanting to return for more.

For more information on any of these events, contact the Beaufort Historical Association at 252-728-5225, stop by the Beaufort Historical Association Visitor’s Center at 130 Turner St., or visit www.beauforthistoricsite.org.

Homes, both old and new, like the Joseph Piver home at 313 Orange St., will be featured during the 56th annual Beaufort Historical Association’s Old Homes & Gardens Tour. The tour is Friday-Saturday, June 24-25. (Contributed photo)

�ne-of-a-kind items available at saleFifty-six years ago, the Beaufort

Historical Association decided to spon-sor a “station wagon antique show” to coincide with the Old Homes Tour spon-sored by the Beaufort Woman’s Club.

From its humble beginnings in the back of station wagons, the Antiques Show & Sale has grown to encompass

more than 40 dealers from through-out the Southeast displaying furniture, silver, crystal, jewelry, linens, dolls and much more.

Held at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City from Friday-Sunday, June 24 - 26, the show offers three days of antiquing to fit any budget.

With such a wide range of dealers offering treasures and collectibles of all types, from fine china to vintage jew-elry to refurbished one-of-a-kind furni-ture pieces, there is truly something for everyone.

If furniture is on shoppers’ minds, they will see French Country, Primitive,

English 18th and 19th century and more. For those who like to accessorize

their homes, there will be art, glass piec-es, pottery, china, chandeliers, lamps, silver and many other objects to choose from.

Power squadron to offer weather course to the publictions only have meaning in the context of the basic principles of meteorology – the science of the atmosphere.

The course focuses on how weather systems form, behave, move and interact with one another and reflects the avail-ability of weather reports and forecasts on the Internet.

This is a general weather course benefiting those sitting in their living rooms, as much as those standing behind the helm.

Each student receives:• Weather manual: The manu-al is an explanatory text with full color photographs and drawings covering weather in the United States and its coastal and inland waters. The course manual and other materials build on a long U.S. Power Squadrons tradition of presenting a comprehensive scientifically oriented course designed for recreational boat-ers.• Daily weather maps: A set of three learning aids with a compete explanation of map symbols designed to develop weather map reading and analy-sis skills.• NOAA’s Sky Watcher Chart: This chart is a reference to assist in identifying cloud types, which are helpful indicators of approaching weather.

The Weather Course is designed to be conducted over 10 two-hour Thursday ses-sions including time for review and the multiple choice closed book exam, but each instructor will determine the pace of the course.

The cost is $63 for power squadron members and $163 for non-members, which includes a one-year membership in the U.S. Power Squadrons.

To register and pay for this course, go to www.fmsps.org and select “Boater Education.”

On the far right, click on the course cost text to access and fill out a Fort Macon Sail and Power Squadron education program registration form.

To secure a seat, pay a regis-tration fee of $25 by credit card using a PayPal link, which is pro-vided, or send a check to FMSPS, P.O. Box 1403, Morehead City, N.C. 28557.

Decoy carving has always been a time-honored tradition in coastal North Carolina.

To showcase all that the Decoy Carvers Guild does for the history and traditions of Eastern North Carolina, the Beaufort Historical Association will host a free decoy carving demonstra-tion by Guild members Steve Goodwin and Bill Boudreau.

They will be on the grounds of the Beaufort Historic Site under the tent as part of the Old Homes Tour and Antique Show Weekend from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, June 24.

Originally a hunting technique used by Native Americans to entice ducks to ponds and rivers, decoy carving was passed from the Coree Indians to the English settlers of North Carolina. With the passage of time, the practice of decoy making has declined.

It never truly disappeared, however, as decoy carving was passed down from generation to generation. The Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild is dedicat-ed to the preservation of the waterfowl carving heritage that runs deep through the history of the Core Sound area in North Carolina.

This celebrated past is defined by many aspects beyond the art of carving decoys. People, decoys, duck calls, artists, pho-

tographers, folklore and collec-tors are but a few of the many aspects of the Core Sound Decoy Carving heritage that make up the guild.

Throughout the year, the guild members get together every week to carve and every month the guild members work with budding decoy carv-ers and painters teaching chil-

dren from ages 7 to 15 how to carve and paint ducks and shorebirds.

Thomas Gill, of Emerald Isle, will sign copies of his new book, The Bridge, from 1-5 p.m. Thursday, June 23, at Emerald Isle Book and Games and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 25, at Dee Gees Gifts and Books in Morehead City.

The Bridge is a realistic fic-tion novel set in the Crystal Coast. The protagonist, Kirby, a 15 year-old rising sophomore, discovers a family mystery dur-ing her annual summer visit to her grandparent’s, Emerald Isle beach house.

This summer her cousins and sister are not visiting, and she gets to experience her first sum-mer romance and then deal with the discovery that her birth father was killed before she was born – but no one told her.

This is a young adult romance that also deals with themes including military to civilian transition and death.

The Bridge is Mr. Gill’s first published book. He started working on it seven years ago, and it started off with a com-pletely different perspective.

“Originally it was to deal

with a transitioning Marine,” Mr. Gill said. “I decided to pub-lish it from the perspective of a 15-year-old girl to appeal to more readers. I included fun, mystery, summer romance and a significant amount of local imagery, tradition and histo-ry to ensure the reader would feel transported to Emerald Isle and Swansboro.”

Mr. Gill is from a military family from Statesville. His father was a sergeant major. He served in the Air Force after completing his bache-lor’s degree at East Carolina University.

He served as a missile launch officer, instructor commander, professor and health care commander, as well as in several other command positions.

For the past 15 years, he has served as a civilian health care executive in dialysis and in the surgical space managing national and regional opera-tions, as well as initiating the foray into a dialysis business in India.

Mr. Gill and his wife have two adult daughters, a son-in-law and a 10-month-old granddaughter. They retired to

EI author to sign books at area storesEmerald Isle to be near family.

He is currently working on

several projects, including the sequel to The Bridge, which he hopes to have published before next spring.

His other projects include a

dark mystery novel set in the 1970s and 2010s in Piedmont North Carolina, as well as a nonfiction project that will be for new teachers.
