It’s “Make-A-Wish” time at The Morehead City Noon Rotary Club, and members of the organization are getting ready to participate in the club’s annual Harley-Davidson Roadster Raffle.
The club’s Harley Roadster is secured on a newly refurbished trailer, the tickets are printed, the raffle banner proclaiming the charities the club supports is mounted over the bike and the club is divided into teams headed by the newest club members.
Each day the Harley travels all over the county proclaiming the work that club does in the community and with its teams, encourages people to take a
chance on a Harley to support Make-A-Wish.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes for children with life threatening illnesses. The local chapter serves children and their fami-lies in the county.
Several years ago The Morehead City Noon Rotary Club felt it needed a new direc-tion for their annual raffle. After a history of splitting the proceeds among many worthy organizations each year, mem-bers felt that focusing on one organization would breathe new life into the fundraiser and allow community donors to feel connected to a worthy local charity.
The service projects commit-tee reviewed a wide variety of nonprofits and brought Make-A-Wish to the club members as their recommendation for the annual major gift and they agreed.
The club has made a major impact on that program for the past three years, raising $15,000 a year and funding one to three wishes each year for local children who are fighting life-threatening illnesses.
One lucky person will win the Harley at the club’s Tuesday, Nov. 8, drawing.
To take your chance on a Harley, contact Harley chair-man and president-elect Gene McLendon at 252-515-4361.

BY LINDSEY BAHRASSOCIATED PRESS
“Captain Fantastic” is about the fantasy of being able to create a perfect world for your children, and the crush-ing realization that such con-trol is ultimately impossible. Ben (Viggo Mortensen) pur-sues this ideal in a particularly extreme way – by removing his family from society altogether and creating his own little uto-pia in the Pacific Northwest wilderness.
We meet the family in the midst of a hunt. They’re all covered in camouflaging mud. The eldest, Bo (George MacKay), slaughters an ani-mal, and Ben tells him that he is a man now. Primitive though the ritual may be, this family is not. Far from it. They are survivalist philosopher kings – highly educated and extremely self-sufficient.
Ranging in age from sin-gle digits to late teens, the
six children, Nai (Charlie Shotwell), Zaja (Shree Crooks), Rellian (Nicholas Hamilton, who resembles young River Phoenix), Vespyr (Annalise Basso), Kielyr (Samantha Isler) and Bo have been molded in Ben’s very specific image. And, for the most part, they worship their father and their lifestyle – Noam Chomsky day and all.
The casting director should win an award for finding these truly excellent young performers, who shine along-side the always wonderful Mr. Mortensen.
But the cracks are start-ing to show in this little fam-ily unit, and not just because normal hormones and atti-tudes are emerging.
“I’m not a Trotskyist any more. I’m a Maoist!” Bo says in an angsty teenage huff at one point.
No, there is something more serious festering. Their moth-er, Leslie (Trin Miller), has been
away for three months, hos-pitalized with severe depres-sion. The kids miss her dearly, and her absence is becoming an issue. But we never get the chance to really meet her. Ben finds out early in the film that she’s killed herself.
He tells the kids this fact very frankly. Ben never lies to his children.
He trusts that they can han-dle the truth, whether it’s the circumstances of their moth-er’s death and mental illness or the littlest one asking what rape is.
The death forces the fam-ily out of their little paradise and into the real world to attend her funeral in Arizona – even though Leslie’s grieving father Jack (Frank Langella) has threatened to arrest Ben if he shows up. But, c’mon. It’s their mother. Of course they’re going to go.
“Grandpa can’t oppress us!” the youngest exclaims.
So, they pack up their rick-
ety green school bus and ven-ture down from their ivory tower to go south, into the depths of the America that Ben hates. The younger ones have been so sheltered that they’ve never heard of Coke or Nike, or seen an obese person. Things get especially tense when they meet Ben’s sister (Kathryn Hahn) and her family and disrupt their subur-ban normalcy.
While the kids seem happy, all outsiders are pretty much in agreement that Ben is unfit to parent.
Unlike Harrison Ford’s unsympathetic “Mosquito Coast” protagonist, however, Ben clearly loves his family deeply and genuinely thinks that his way is the best way. This struggle between the individual parent and society’s expectations is one without an easy resolution. Both are right and wrong.
The film veers into cloy-ing sentimentality a little too
often, and, some might tire of Ben’s philosophies. But, that also just means that there’s room for his character to grow, too.
“Captain Fantastic” is the second feature from writer-director Matt Ross (his first was the affair drama “28 Rooms”), who is currently best known for his acting. In addition to over two decades in the movies, Mr. Ross plays the tech titan Gavin Belson on HBO’s “Silicon Valley.” I imag-ine a film of the caliber of “Captain Fantastic” is bound to change that – this is no flash in the pan success. It’s a single, beautifully realized vision with edge and a true heart.
“Captain Fantastic,” a Bleecker Street release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language and brief graphic nudity.” Running time: 118 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

Simple swaps for serious flavor
(Content and images provided by Family Features.)Find more recipes at Mizkan.com.
Healthy condiment alternatives:From burgers to barbecued chicken, many of
the best grilled foods are served with creamy condiments – often packing on calories and fat. Experiment with new ways to create simple but robust flavors on the grill using fewer ingredients through simple swaps.
Rice vinegars offer a healthy alternative to condiments like mayonnaise or a creamy dress-ing when grilling.
Keeping meals simple is easy with naturally gluten-free Nakano Rice Vinegar, which includes six or less simple ingredients with no artificial
preservatives, flavors or ingredients, and no high-fructose corn syrup or MSG.
The brand recently announced a clean-label-ing initiative for all of its products, which now have easy-to-read labels with recognizable ingre-dients.
Dawn Jackson Blatner, star of ABC’s “My Diet Is Better Than Yours,” author of Superfood Swap and a registered dietitian and nutrition consul-tant for the Chicago Cubs, has created healthy dishes to heat up the grill this season.
This fall, look for organic Nakano Rice Vinegars debuting at retailers nationwide.

With summer, there are more people outside being active. While that’s good, it also means there are more injured people who need blood transfusions.
In addition, since people are out of town or enjoying the nice weather, there are less of them lining up to give blood.
The American Red Cross has issued an emergency call for donors to replenish an “extreme-ly low” supply. That is why Tess Robinson is organizing a blood drive at the Piggly Wiggly in Beaufort.
The blood drive is from 2-7 p.m. Thursday, July 21, at the Piggly Wiggly parking lot.
Miss Robinson is a recent graduate of East Carteret High School and upcoming freshman at N.C. State University. She is aiming to obtain a $1,000 scholarship from the American Red Cross by hosting the blood drive.
Ms. Robinson was approached about the scholarship by Jim Owens, the market’s manager and frequently gave blood when East Carteret High School would host blood drives.
East Carteret graduate organizes blood drive in hopes of winning scholarship
She plans on majoring in chemistry while at N.C. State and hopes to work in a lab develop-ing new medicine and perfect-ing medicines that are already known, making her a good can-didate for the scholarship.
The scholarship is for high school students or upcoming college freshmen, and in order for Ms. Robinson to get the scholarship, the drive must col-lect 25 to 59 pints of blood.
According to information
released from the American Red Cross, the organization needs to collect about 14,000 pints or units of blood each day to meet the needs of medical facilities.
“Donors give one pint each of what is called whole blood,
meaning they give red cells, plasma and platelets; however, some people give just the red cells, in which case they donate two pints,” the release said.
A person who donates a pint of whole blood has the potential to save three lives.
According to the American Red Cross, someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds.
So far, Ms. Robinson needs 60 people to meet her maximum goal. The American Red Cross explained that the amount of people needed to have a suc-cessful blood drive must be higher than the drive’s goal for numerous reasons, includ-ing the chance of people not showing up for their scheduled appointment.
“I am hoping that I can get more than 25 pints, which is the minimum amount that I need,” Ms. Robinson said. “I’m not in it for the scholarship. I know that people need blood daily, and I like to help out when I can.”
Those interested in partici-pating can make an appoint-ment at www.redcrossblood.org or by signing up at Piggly Wiggly, 1500 Live Oak St. in Beaufort.

Ms. Adams has visited the Crystal Coast many times. She has exhibited and taught at Craving Art Studio for the last three years and was the featured artist for the Beaufort Wine & Food event in 2011.
She has also been the featured Fall Party artist for the Beaufort Historical Association.
“Painters need good light and good subject matter – and this part of coastal North Carolina has both,” said Ms. Adams.
Several of her new paintings will reflect the coast and her
trademark florals will also be part of the new body of work.
Her paintings have a distinc-tive and recognizable style that includes bold brushstrokes and use of color and dynamic com-positions that have an underlying abstractness.
Ms. Adams is a native of California but has lived in Virginia with her husband, Sean, for many years. She recently moved to a new studio in Orange County, Va.
Heather Sink, owner and artist at Craving Art Studio noted that having Trisha teach experienced
and beginner artists is an experi-ence not to be missed.
“Ms. Adams is an exceptional teacher, especially being able to convey the subject of light and color,” Ms. Sink said. “It is exciting to watch as the students’ works improve drastically by the end of the workshop. It’s no wonder the classes fill quickly with a waiting list.”
To learn more about Ms. Adams visit trishaadams.com. For ques-tions regarding the reception and exhibition, visit cravingartstudio.com or call 252-728-0243.

Visitors to Fort Macon State Park have a chance to step back to the 19th century this week-end during the fort’s Living History re-enactment event.
The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 16, and Sunday, July 17. Re-enactors with the 1st N.C. Volunteers Civil War re-enact-ment group will be at the fort, holding programs such as flag talks, women’s dress talks, musket drills and artillery dem-onstrations.
A skirmish scenario will also take place at 1:30 p.m. on both days.
The Living History event is held thee times through-out the year at Fort Macon. Paul Branch, Fort Macon park ranger and historian, said the summer event is rough on the
Fort Macon State Park’s Living History re-enactment event coming July 16-17
re-enactors, but also tends to be the most heavily attended.
“The July event is usually the toughest on the re-enac-tors because of the heat in their wool uniforms,” Mr. Branch said.
“It’s usually the most heav-ily attended of the three annu-al events because so many people are in town during the summer,” he said.
The July event usually gets between 3,000-5,000 attend-ees each day. Mr. Branch said if it’s a cloudy day, they often have even more people since the beaches aren’t as popular when its overcast.
The first Living History event at Fort Macon was held in 1976. Mr. Branch said Jim Martin, the fort’s superintendent at the time, was the one who started it, along with a small group of re-enactors called the Lenoir Braves.

“The next year, another small group called the 1st N.C. was brought in to do a pre-
sentation at the dedication of the Fort Macon restora-tion of 1977,” Mr. Branch said.
“The 1st N.C./11th Regiment has been involved with these events ever since 1977.”
As part of the Beaufort Historical Association’s Living History series, Marsha Harris will present music of the colonial period on various instruments.
The session is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 16, on the porch of the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery, weather permitting.
Ms. Harris is a multi-instru-mentalist, playing mountain and
bowed dulcimers, fiddle and Native American style flute and enjoys many genres of music.
Her CD, “A Nice Combination,” reflects the character of her music. She travels around the country teaching and performing, and she enjoys playing music at various fiddle festivals.
Ms. Harris has been playing music since 1993. She is a mem-
Musical instruments of the past, present to be discussed at BHA demonstration
ber of several musical groups such as the Neuse River Flute Circle and The Bogue Sounds.

Tryon to commemorate 200th anniversary of Francisco de Miranda’s deathde Miranda’s Visit to North Carolina,” which will cover entries from Miranda’s travel journal about North Carolina’s people, culture, and traditions
he encountered in 1783.At 3 p.m. in the N.C. History
Center, The Venezuelan Cultural Association of North Carolina will present Tryon Palace with
a commemorative plaque for its partnership in preserving Miranda’s legacy.
All activities associated with Miranda are free and open to

Jackie Ezzard, the current direc-tor for the volunteer-led program Beaufort Meals on Wheels, is retir-ing after 12 years of service.
Taking her place will be Sandra Howarth, of Mill Creek. Ms. Howarth has been involved with the Meals on Wheels program for over 10 years and has served as the program’s bookkeeper since 2006.
To celebrate Ms. Ezzard’s work with the program, volunteers organized a retirement luncheon, which was held on June 30 at Harborview Rehabilitation and Health Care Center’s third floor solarium in downtown Morehead City.
Meals on Wheels has been delivering hot meals six days a week to Beaufort shut-ins since 1973.
The service allows disable peo-ple who live alone to remain in their homes. The meals can be taken on a short-term need or for a long period of time and is fund-ed with contributions from several local churches and individuals.
As well as working with the Beaufort Meals on Wheels pro-gram, Ms. Ezzard was instrumental in creating the Down East Meals on Wheels, which is separated into three different sections to help Down East residents.
Setting up the Down East sec-tion of Meals on Wheels and see-ing the gratitude of the people were a few of Ms. Ezzard’s favorite parts of working with the pro-gram.
Now that Ms. Ezzard is retired, she plans on spending her time relaxing by reading, taking walks and painting.
When asked what she would miss most as director for the pro-gram, Ms. Ezzard said she would miss the people.
“The volunteers and the clients on the route – they are like fam-ily to me,” Ms. Ezzard said. “The program couldn’t run without the volunteers.”
Since Ms. Ezzard announced that she was retiring, many peo-ple in the community were con-cerned that the program would not be able to continue, but they did not need to look far for Ms. Ezzard’s replacement.

“I am looking forward to mak-ing a lot of new friends and get-
ting to know new people,” Ms. Howarth said. “The people who
deliver the meals are the ones who keep the program going.”
