Online registration for Carteret Community Theatre’s popular summer camp pro-gram is open.

Katie Dixon, the camp direc-tor, said these camps are “awe-some” and offer campers more than acting skills.

“These summer camps offer a fun and creative outlet for children,” she said. “They get to perform and learn about all aspects of the theatre. These children also meet lots of new people and most times come out of their shy shells.”

The summer theater camps are for children in kindergarten through high school.

According to information on the community theater’s website, the summer camps provide younger generations an opportunity to learn about and participate in the theatri-cal arts.

“The goal of these camps is to offer children a unique expe-rience to use their imagination in a creative way that teaches empathy and cultural under-standing,” the site reads. “The

camps have been designed specifically for children, to not only expose them to the arts, but to develop cognitive skills and communication skills while building self-confidence.”

Campers will also learn the basic fundamentals of the the-ater world, such as the knowl-edge of stage directions, acting skills, set designs and rehearsal routines.

The camps will conclude with a final performance, a cul-mination of all the skills they have learned and practiced.

Introductory level campers ages 5-10 will:• Learn the history of the-ater.• Develop skills in listening, communication, cooperation and confidence.• Explore the world of theater by learning acting techniques, improvisation and music.• Create masks and cos-tumes.• Learn and participate in choreography and lyrics to Broadway shows.• Participate in show perfor-mance.• Have fun.

Campers at the intermedi-ate level, 11 years of age and older, will:• Explore the Stanislavski and Meisner techniques of acting and improvisation.• Research and learn mono-logues.• Participate in musical the-ater from Broadway shows.• Bring stories to life in musi-cal theater.• Explore the technical aspects of theater, which will include: lighting, sound, cos-tuming, makeup, hair, props, stage management and direct-ing.• Participate in a show per-formance.• Have fun.

For more information or questions, email Ms. Dixon at cctsummercamps@gmail.com.

Have a Netflix night

BY MEGAN LEWISTWM

Netflix bills its original series “On My Block” as a coming-of-age comedy, but the drama steals the show.

The series focuses on a “crew” of four friends who’ve just grad-uated from the eighth grade in a rough California neighborhood.

There are some things the main characters face that those who have already put their pre-teen years behind them might chuckle at – the horrors of developing body parts, raging hormones, awkward relation-ships and the expectation ver-sus reality of high school.

Of course, anyone still mired in their preteen years might find those gags less amusing.

Even for the adults, how-ever, the stereotypes are too expected, too obvious to earn any belly laughs.

Also, too many of the show’s attempts at humor fall on the shoulders of Jamal (Brett Gray), which is an 80s move a la Jaleel White’s Steve Urkel in “Family Matters.” While Mr. Gray is great at it, it’s a dated approach to comedy that the young crowd

probably won’t appreciate and the older crowd has most likely outgrown.

Some of the other laughs the show tries for are only funny for those who’ve never lived in a rougher neighborhood.

A running joke pokes fun at the gunshots that really are a too common part of life “on the other side of the tracks.” Carteret County natives might be able to laugh along as the children make light (presum-ably as a coping mechanism) by guessing what caliber round they just heard being fired, but for anyone with his-tory in those types of neigh-borhoods, perhaps it might be best to steer clear…or just don’t laugh. That won’t be too difficult.

Despite the flat attempts at humor, the drama in this show certainly has teeth.

As the brother of main char-acter Ruby (Jason Genao) says, “Don’t go into high school with-out backup. You guys need to stick together to survive.”

So, immediately, writers split up the crew as one of their number, Cesar (Diego Tinoco),

is “jumped in” to his brother’s gang.

“What’s worse than losing a friend?” says Monse (Sierra Capri) as she tries to learn the truth of why Cesar has left their group over the summer while she was away at camp.

She calls Cesar their glue, but it is obvious if their crew is going to survive high school, it’s going to be Monse who puts them back together.

At the end of the first episode, it’s Monse who says, “Cesar – we need to save him.”

With its focus on gang activ-ity in the very first episode, it’s hardly surprising that “On My Block” feels more like a drama than a comedy – but isn’t that often the case when anyone is “coming-of-age?”

The first season of the show comprises 10 approximately half-hour episodes with a second season expected this month. It is rated TV-14.

Nutritious food likely to stand test of time

While many food trends come and go, some desired food traits seemingly never go out of style.

For example, dishes that provide nutri-tional benefits will pretty much always be popular, along with types of foods that can be customized to match personalized pref-erences and tastes.

Toast is a versatile option for nearly anyone seeking a bite for breakfast, espe-cially those eaters looking for nutrition and flavor.

Because you can add a variety of top-pings to your toast, it can be a simple way to add a healthy element to your morning routine.

These recipes, for example, include Sabra Hummus as a base spread, which adds pro-tein and fiber perfect for breakfast, brunch

or a mid-morning snack. Hummus Toast with Sun-dried Tomatoes

and Parmesan brings with it the extra nutri-tional value of veggies, while Hummus Toast with Soft-Boiled Egg and Spinach packs ample protein for an ideal way to start the day.

Plus, because these quick-to-make reci-pes involve short amounts of time spent on preparation, you’re able to enjoy a nutri-tious treat even on the busiest of days.

Carteret County is now home to an all-female Scout troop.

“It’s a really big deal. The news networks and social media blew up over it,” said Dr. Patrick Curley, chairman of the newly formed Troop 7730. “We could’ve been the first group in North Carolina, but a group in Hubert got in ahead of us. We’re still the first in Carteret County.”

Troop 7730 is a unit of the co-ed Sea Scouts of Rotary Club 7730. Troop 7730 is for girls who are too young to join Sea Scouts, which is for ages 14 through 20.

Sea Scouts is a member of the international Scouting move-ment. According to scouting.org, “Sea Scouts is a specialized program, organized to address a youth members’ boating skills and promote knowledge of maritime heritage. Sea Scout units, called ‘ships,’ focus on sailing and cruis-ing either sailboats, power vessels or paddle sports.”

Many of the girls who have joined Troop 7730 were younger siblings of members of the Sea Scouts.

According to Scoutmaster Jennifer Bolding, the girls would sit around bored during the meetings, and that was one of the primary reasons for creating the troop.

Dr. Curley said those at Boy Scouts of America wanted to make Scouting more inclusive and family-friendly, which his why they decided to allow girls to join troops.

“I think it’s a great opportunity unit for the kids. It’s a new age,” he said.

Troop 7730 is for girls ages 11-13. They continue the Scouting journey until 18 years old. Once they hit 18, they can continue on to the Sea Scouts program if they so desire.

Girls who join the Scouting pro-gram will have the opportunity to earn badges and climb the ranks, just like their male counterparts.

Female Sea Scouts will now also have the opportunity to earn badges, unlike before. According to Dr. Curley, the girls would do all the requirements, but not earn a badge.

The troop meets the first and third Wednesday of each month. The Feb. 6 meeting was at the N.C. State University Center for Marine Sciences and Technology building in Morehead City.

The troop is still in the organiza-tion stage, and during the meet-ing, the Scouts were tasked with deciding a name for the patrol

G�r�����rm�����r��wn����u���r��p

and what their troop flag should look like.

The girls were able to choose between two names, The Sirens and The Sea Dragons.

Ms. Bolding explained that each character represented strength, which was an important characteristic in the county’s first all-female troop.

Though Ms. Bolding saw great potential of being The Sirens, The Sea Dragon eventually won.

Once the girls decided on a name, they went to work creating a sea dragon for their flag.

As they worked, the girls explained why joining the Scouting program was something that they were interested in.

“It’s something new,” said Rebekah Aroca. “I’ve always heard about Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts, too. I thought it was all selling cookies, but when I learned more about it, it sound-ed interesting. I’m not too into camping, but I’m trying to learn new things.”

Elleina Messenger had similar thoughts.

“It’s an opportunity to learn something that most people don’t get the opportunity to do.”

And then there was a general agreement that they would be able to participate in the activi-ties the boys get to.

“I get to beat up boys,” said Linh Walker.

The appeal of joining the Scouts included the opportu-nity to access equal programs as their male counterparts. Lydia Bolding is a Girl Scout as well, but she said this program pro-vided more opportunities.

“Girl Scouts camp, but not like the Boy Scouts do,” she said. “We do a lot of arts and crafts. Boy Scouts is more hands-on.”

The girls have already dis-cussed knot tying and discussed how to properly use a pocket knife. They are well on their way to earning their first badge.

Girls who want to join still have the opportunity to do so. Future meetings will be held at Camp Albemarle. For more infor-mation, call Dr. Curley at 910-340-3383.

St. Francis by the Sea Episcopal Church will present the Friendly FolkDancers from 7 to 8:45 p.m. Friday, March 8.

The group will perform and teach a variety of folk dances from around the world with the theme “Dancing the World Together.” A key goal of their tours is to aid in building and deepening community.

Core Sound Friends in Beaufort will host the travel-ing Quaker dancers from four U.S. states, Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda. This dance ministry is Quaker in that it is experiential rather than cognitive.

“We are a peace witness, try-ing to get people to connect beyond their national borders, so we do dances from many different countries,” Mark Helpsmeet, the group’s leader, said in a release.

The initial performance will feature medleys uniting cultures of the world. Dances “move for peace” by focusing on countries or cultures that have been at war.

After observing the first few dances, everyone is encouraged to take part in simple dances.

�r��n��y����kD�n��r�����p�r��rm,�� ��n��ur�g���u���n������j��n��n

“We erase this line between the audience and the perform-er,” Mr. Helpsmeet said. “Our society has gone too far being spectators. With folk danc-ing the whole village would dance, and we are expanding the village to include the entire globe.

“Our concluding dance is a

powerful experience of send-ing out prayer in widening circles around the world,” he continued. “In three concentric circles, we sing, ‘What a grand and glorious feeling, when the bells of peace are pealing’ and make simple motions.”

He compares the group’s dances to prayer.

“It’s a chance to pray with your entire body. Many groups pray only with their lips and then they don’t live it out; they don’t let their lives speak. Folk dancing involves a communi-ty coming together instead of just individuals or couples,” he said.

Unlike TV’s popular “Dancing

with the Stars,” there is no judg-ment and you don’t have to be a good dancer.

“We don’t require perfection; in fact, we don’t even allow it,” Mr. Helpsmeet said. “We want people to come into that circle knowing that it’s about sharing joy and community.”

The Friendly FolkDancers group is visiting six cities in North Carolina in March. Over the past 33 years they have traveled throughout the United States and in 14 other countries, including Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Kenya, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Cuba.

The general public, all ages, families and children are invited to observe the first half hour and to participate for an hour.

The performance and dance is free, but the dancers welcome donations to cover their travel expenses.

For further information, contact St. Francis administra-tor at stfrancisbts@gmail.com, 252-240-2388 or stfrancisby-thesea.org, or Susan Schmidt at susankiwi15@gmail.com or 252-269-0032.

needs volunteers. With plenty of ways to get involved, it’s a great way for anyone to be a part of the community, accord-ing to a recent release.

Those who are interested in sharing their much-need-ed skills are invited to attend the annual Volunteer Training Program from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 12 at the Beaufort Historic Site, 130 Turner St.

The one-day Volunteer Training Program offers an overview of all volunteer opportunities at the BHA.

From demonstrating a 19th century craft to school children once a year, to helping with a larger event like the annual Old Homes Tour, volunteer-ing in the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery or giving tours of the historic site during the week, participants would be a welcome addition to an ever-growing number of volunteers who assist with a wide variety

of tasks.Following a brief registra-

tion period, trainees will tour the historic houses onsite to observe volunteer docents in action.

Prospective volunteers will then be treated to a tour on the 1967 English double-decker bus to enjoy a ride through the historic district of Beaufort.

Just before lunch, the rest of the historic buildings and grounds that comprise the site will be explored.

A catered lunch will be pro-vided and volunteers will have the opportunity to meet the BHA staff and hear about vol-unteer needs in the office, the welcome center and the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery.

A presentation on the Warped Weavers and the vari-ous educational programs, such as Harvest Time, Kindergarten Thanksgiving, the Living History series and school group tours, will give an overview of the outreach programs volunteers

can be involved in.A tour of the Old Burying

Ground will be followed by a question-and-answer period to provide participants with a better understanding of the vital role volunteers play in the daily functions of the BHA.

New and returning volun-teers alike are invited to learn about this area’s colorful heri-tage while finding the perfect volunteer opportunity.

This one-day training pro-gram serves as an overview to the abundant opportunities available and once a specific area of interest is selected, new volunteers will receive more in-depth training in their chosen field.

Due to limited space, those interested in participating are asked to register in advance and confirm the date and time by calling the Beaufort Historic Site at 252-728-5225, stopping by the welcome center or by visiting beauforthistoricsite.org.

Wands, wings and magi-cal things will come togeth-er Saturday, March 9 at the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.

Fairies, gnomes, wizards, sea monsters and other mythi-cal creatures are invited to a magical day of imagination and education for the themed program “Forest Fairies to Sea Serpents.”

“Our Forest Fairies to Sea

Serpents event is truly magi-cal,” aquarium educator Meredith Heaton Bruhn said in a release. “It’s an event where children can watch sto-ries come to life and see how real animals inspired the crea-tures of myths and legends.”

The enchantment is in its ninth year and is free with admission or membership. Costumes are optional but encouraged to add to the fun.

Aqu�r�um�����������y���r����r���,�������rp�n��There will be costume and

photo opportunities during the event. Activities for chil-dren are available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and include a chance to build fairy houses from pine cones, shells and other natural materials.

Children can search for fairy and mermaid doors hidden throughout the aquarium and make their own door to take home.

Participants will also be able to discover their fairy or gnome name and decorate a fanciful wand to take home.

Those who visit the aquari-um during the event can enjoy a pretend sea serpent in the

Living Shipwreck during the dive shows. The daily Creature Connections will turn into the-atrical fairy tales starring live animals in whimsical, aquar-ium-style interpretations of favorite fables.

“The event offers a way for children to encounter the aquarium in an exciting way that they may not experience on a regular day,” Ms. Bruhn said.

Though “Forest Fairies to Sea Serpents” focuses on make-believe beings, it inspires a closer look at real animals and their environment by connect-ing creativity and imagination to nature.

The Crystal Coast Choral Society has been hard at work since January preparing for its spring concert, “Spring Bouquet of Choral Singing.”

In addition to weekly rehearsals at Swansboro United Methodist Church, the CCCS recently com-pleted a silent auction with the help of Cape Carteret Aquatic & Wellness Center to raise funds to help offset costs associated with the choir, such as music purchase, advertising and guest perform-ers.

As a nonprofit organization, CCCS depends on funding from the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, fundrais-ing events, sponsorship and con-cert ticket sales to sustain itself.

CCCS also recently held a fundraiser at Panera Bread in Jacksonville as part of Panera’s community outreach and sup-port.

During that event, CCCS received a percentage of sales for any guest between 4 and 8 p.m. that mentioned they were there to support the CCCS.

Panera Bread in Morehead

City will also sponsor a fundraiser Monday, March 11.

The spring concert dates and times are now finalized.

The performances are 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 6 at Cape Carteret Presbyterian Church, 100 Yaupon Drive in Cape Carteret, and 3 p.m. Sunday, April 7 at First Christian Church, 124 Trott Road in Richlands.

Tickets purchased in advance are $10. They can be purchased from CCCS members and for the first time are now available online at crystalcoastchoralsociety.org.

Tickets purchased at the door will be $12. Children 10 and under are free. Tickets for students over 10 years of age are $5.

The Crystal Coast Choral Society is a non-audition commu-nity choir that strives to provide quality music to eastern North Carolina residents.

Rehearsals begin each fall after Labor Day for concerts held in December in Onslow and Carteret counties.

Spring semester rehearsals begin after the new year for con-certs held in early spring in both counties.

New members are welcome at the beginning of each semester and volunteers to help with con-cert activities, such as setting up and ushering guests/passing out programs.

For more information, contact the director, Finley Woolston, at 910-358-2997, email finley@ec.rr.com or visit the CCCS Facebook page or crystalcoastchoralsociety.org.

At 8 p.m. Saturday, March 9, the American Music Festival will present Caroline Shaw and the Jasper String Quartet in concert. The concert will be at the First Presbyterian Church in Morehead City.

According to a release from the AMF, Ms. Shaw has aston-ished the pop and classical music worlds for her celebrated col-laborations with Kanye West and is in continuous demand for new works by leading artists and ensembles.

International acclaim has led to residencies and commissions by major performance organiza-tions, including the Guggenheim, Dumbarton Oaks, Kennedy Center, Baltimore Symphony, Los Angeles Symphony and the N.C. Symphony, to name a few.

Ms. Shaw is also a familiar violin and viola soloist with major orchestras, and has performed at renowned concert venues, such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Ms. Shaw, composer, string musician and vocalist, was born

AM�����pr���n����r���n�����w,�J��p�r���r�ng�Qu�r���

in Greenville in 1982 and landed in the national spotlight after receiving the Pulitzer Prize in music for her a cappella piece “Partita for 8 Voices.”

At 30 years old, she was the youngest composer ever to be awarded a Pulitzer.

Three years ago, the AMF initiated a state-wide “Meet the Composer” project with Chamber Music Raleigh and Chamber Music Wilmington to honor Ms. Shaw.

With this project, presenters wanted to celebrate her connec-

tion to the state and her heart-felt musical attitude that threads the old with the new, pop with classical and raw with refined.

Ms. Shaw and members of the Jasper String Quartet were class-mates at Yale University’s School of Music and the group has com-missioned and recorded several of Ms. Shaw’s string quartets.

She will join the Jasper String Quartet to perform her composi-tion “In the Sweet By and By” for string quartet and “Voice,” which sets a traditional, old southern bluegrass/gospel revival song (made popular by Johnny Cash) to imaginative, contemporary string accompaniment.

In addition, Jasper will per-form “Valencia,” another quartet selection from Ms. Shaw’s oeu-vres which they’ve recorded.

To close the program, Ms. Shaw will join the quartet and dis-play in Brahms’ “Viola Quintet” one of the great masterworks of the romantic repertoire and an audience favorite.

The AMF and CMW’s goal is to provide thoughtful engagement with a living composer, create an

opening for future contemporary music performances and demon-strate the boundless possibilities of creativity.

“We are inspired by Shaw’s philosophy behind her music which is often, according to her, about empowerment and inspi-ration,” the release reads.

This meet-the-composer project was recently awarded a $10,000 grant from the N.C. Arts Council for performances in eastern North Carolina and will be part of the NCAC’s 50th anniversary celebration series of events.

All AMF concerts in the coun-ty are held at First Presbyterian Church at 1604 Arendell St. Parking is free.

Tickets at the door are $32 for adults and $15 for full-time stu-dents (paid by cash or checks).

Tickets are also available through Eventbrite at eventbrite.com/e/caroline-shaw-jasper-quartet-tickets-52171051018?aff=aff0eventful.

For more information, visit americanmusicfestival.org or call 252-342-5034.

BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES

Registration is now open for the 32nd annual Carteret County Senior Games.

The final registration dead-line is Friday, March 15.

The cost to register is $20.First-time participants can

register for half the cost, mak-ing the price $10 for those who register now.

The games start Tuesday, April 9 and continue until Friday, May 3. The events will be held at various locations around the county.

Darlene Austin, with the County Parks and Recreation Department, which hosts the games, is looking forward to a large number of registrants.

“We expect to have at least what we had last year, and are hoping for more. Last year we had 150 registered,” she said.

Ms. Austin said a big focus on this year’s games is the SilverArts event, which high-lights the artistic talents of the aging population.

“We want to boost the num-bers. All the artwork and pho-tography and literary arts that seems to be the area that a lot of people are less aware that we offer,” she said. “We were trying to pick one particular area that needed a boost. As we go on, we will highlight other sports that have low numbers.”

According to ncsenior-games.org, “SilverArts is ‘a celebration of the creative expression of seniors in North Carolina,’ is a major compo-nent of the traditional athletic competition of North Carolina Senior Games. In a philosophy that strives to keep seniors healthy, active and involved, SilverArts unites the athlete and artist in a program that recognizes the similarities of both endeavors: discipline, dedication and pride in one’s accomplishments.

“SilverArts provides a stage for the creative talents of the visual, heritage, liter-ary, and performing artists. Encouragement and recogni-tion of creative potential and accomplishment is the goal of the SilverArts program.”

The SilverArts portion of the games includes lit-erary arts, such as essays, life experiences, poems and short stories; heritage arts, such as basket weaving, stained glass, crocheting, pottery, jewelry, knitting, needle work, quilting, weav-ing, tole/decorative wood working, wood carving, wood turning and ceramics; visual arts, such as acrylic, draw-ing, mixed media, oil, pas-tels, photography, sculpture and watercolor; and per-forming arts, such as comedy and drama, line dance, vocal, instrumental and dance.

Artwork will be displayed at the Leon Mann Jr. Enrichment Center in Morehead City from April 9 through May 3.

In addition, those who are interested in watching the games are welcome to attend at no cost.
