Celebrate Mardi Gras on Middle LaneGrab some beads, put on your

best mask or most festive cos-tume and head to downtown Beaufort for a Mardi Gras cel-ebration like no other.

The Beaufort Development Association, in conjunction with Middle Lane businesses, will host the annual Mardi Gras on Middle Lane from 2-6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24.

Those who attend will be able to enjoy New Orleans sounds and succulent Creole cuisine at this free afternoon street carnival.

“Mardi Gras on Middle Lane has grown far beyond our expectations and has become a signature event in Beaufort,” said Liz Kopf, one of the event organizers. “It is a great cel-ebration for locals and visitors alike to shake off the winter blues and do some dancing in the streets. It also provides a wonderful boost to the Beaufort economy during the shoulder season – the Beaufort Development Association is just thrilled that this event has become such a hit.”

New Orleans jazz by Blue Moon Jazz will welcome party-goers beginning at 2 p.m. on the outdoor stage.

A costumed krewe and parade will be held along Middle Lane at 3 p.m., and there will be prizes for the best costume.

Then, be sure to witness the crowning of the Mardi Gras King and Queen.

There is even something for children to enjoy with face painting and mask making booths.

The gaming area gives fes-tivalgoers the chance to chal-lenge their companions to a round of boules or cornhole.

As the festivities continue, Mel Melton & The Wicked Mojos will be playing a signature blend of blues and dance music throughout the afternoon.

‘Black Panther’ is dazzling grand-scale film making(AP photo)

BY JAKE COYLEASSOCIATED PRESS

The supposedly cosmically vast Marvel Cinematic Universe, as it’s called, spans planets pep-pered throughout the galaxy, but Ryan Coogler’s Earth-bound “Black Panther,” glittering and galvanizing, stands worlds apart.

For those of us who have sometimes felt pummeled by the parade of previous Marvel movies, the sheer richness of Mr. Coogler’s film is almost dis-orienting. Can superhero films, so often a dull mash of effects, be this dazzlingly colorful? Are genuine cultural connections allowed in modern-day comic book blockbuster-making? Is a $20 billion refund in order?

Unlike many of its more hollow predecessors, “Black Panther” has real, honest-to-goodness stakes. As the most earnest and big-budget attempt yet of a black superhero film, “Black Panther” is assured of being an overdue cinematic landmark. But it’s also simply ravishing, grand-scale filmmak-ing.

There are familiar Marvel beats here. Just as he did in the

surprisingly sensational Rocky reboot “Creed,” Mr. Coogler hasn’t reinvented the genre so much as electrified it with a new perspective and a rare talent for marrying naturalis-tic character development with spectacle muscle.

“Tell them who you are” is the encouragement shouted at the title character, T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) prince of the African nation Wakanda. But it could just as well serve as the overarching rally cry of a film that for many symbol-izes a big-screen affirmation of African-American identity. “Black Panther” stands for everything that’s been missing from Marvel’s – and Hollywood’s – universe.

Mr. Coogler opens with exposition on Wakanda, a mighty African country that appears from the outside, as one Western sneers, as “Third World.” But hidden from sight is a shimmering, technologically advanced metropolis whose stealthy growth has been fueled by vibranium, a cosmic mineral deposited deep in its mountains by a meteorite thousands of years earlier. Vibranium makes up the suit that T’Challa dons as

Black Panther, and its power is much guarded. An early flash-back, to 1992 Oakland, Calif., shows one Wakandan’s failed efforts to smuggle Vibranium in order to empower struggling African-Americans.

When the king of Wakanda dies, T’Challa returns home to take the throne, where he finds the country’s five tribes – each with their own distinct color and attire – are beginning to bubble with discord. W’Kabi (Daniel Kaluuya) of the Border Tribe, in particular, would like to see the historically isolationist Wakanda give more in foreign aid and to refugees.

The issue is brought to the fore by an unknown Wakandan exile, Erik “Killmonger” Stevens (Michael B. Jordan), an American-made soldier who aspires to take Wakanda’s power to rebalance black power around the globe. “The world’s gonna start over and this time we’re on top,” he vows in the film’s climactic moments.

But his mission isn’t initially so clear, as he and a band of rogues, led by Andy Serkis’ black-market arms dealer Ulysses Klaue, begin causing havoc for T’Challa. Mr. Boseman’s

Panther is a politician at heart who’s virtually always flanked by a trio of powerful women: Lupita Nyong’o’s Nakia, part of Wakanda’s all-female special forces, the Dora Milaje; the spe-cial forces leader Okoye (Danai Gurira); and his younger sister Shuri (a terrific Letitia Wright, who supplies most of the film’s comic moments).

There are the expected spe-cial effects set-pieces and a very Bond-like trip to a South Korean casino. But the conflict at the heart of “Black Panther” is between separate factions of an African diaspora in a mytho-logical realm filled with coloniz-ers and racists who curse the Wakandan as “savages.” It’s powerful myth-making not just for its obvious timeliness but for the film’s sincere grappling with heritage and destiny.

The traditional-meets-futur-istic costumes and jewelry, by Ruth E. Carter, are ravishingly detailed. T’Challa’s mystical visit to his ancestors is gloriously rendered on a twilight plain beneath a pink-hued sky and the glowing eyes of panthers in a tree. And most of all, Mr. Jordan’s bitter, wounded war-rior is uncommonly tender. He

is a “villain” only in quotes; his means are extreme but his cause is just.

Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Black Panther first appeared in 1966. But the char-acter has sparked the imagina-tions of many since, including the filmmaker Reginald Hudlin, the author Ta-Nehisi Coates and Wesley Snipes, who labored for years to adapt the comic into a movie. (Ironically it was Mr. Snipes’ 1998 superhero film “Blade” that kicked off Marvel’s box-office success.)

It’s easy to lament how long it took to bring “Black Panther” to the big screen. But at least the wait was worth it.

“Black Panther,” a Walt Disney Co. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “prolonged sequenc-es of action violence, and a brief rude gesture.” Running time: 134 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

Beat winter blues with a little help from vitamin DStaying indoors and wrapping up in a blanket is

one way to avoid winter’s frigid weather, but less exposure to the sun can also put you at risk of a vita-min D deficiency.

Milk is the primary source of vitamin D in the American diet, according to research published in the FASEB Journal, making it a great choice on dark winter days.

An 8-ounce glass of milk provides 30 percent of the daily value of vitamin D, so just three cups of milk each day will provide 90 percent of your body’s rec-ommended daily requirements. Milk is also an easy way to get other essential nutrients like B vitamins for energy, high-quality protein for lean muscle and vitamin A for a healthy immune system.

When you need a quick way to warm up on a cold day, try this creamy chicken corn chowder recipe that can be made with a pressure cooker. Cooked with wholesome ingredients like milk, chicken and pota-toes and topped with bacon and green onions, it’s an easy and delicious addition to your weekly meal rotation. For more recipes to warm up your winter, visit milklife.com.

Servings: 126 slices (6 ounces each) thick-

cut bacon, chopped1 small yellow onion, diced3 cloves garlic, minced1pound boneless skinless

chicken breast, diced1 bag (16 ounces, about 3 1/3

cups) frozen corn kernels4 cups chicken broth1 pound unpeeled or peeled

Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ¼ -½-inch chunks

½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional, to taste

½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus additional, to taste

2 tablespoons cornstarch1½ cups fat-free milk2-3 green onions, sliced

(optional)1 tablespoon heavy cream or

half-and-half (optional)Heat large skillet over medi-

um-high heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked bacon to paper towel-lined plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat.

Return skillet to stove. Add onion and garlic; sauté 2 min-utes, stirring frequently. Add diced chicken and frozen corn; sauté for an additional 3 min-utes, stirring often.

Remove skillet from heat and transfer contents to pres-sure cooker. Add chicken broth, potatoes, salt and pepper. Close and seal pressure cooker, mak-ing sure the vent is in the sealed position. Cook on high 8 min-utes.

While the chowder cooks, make a slurry by whisking corn-starch (or flour) into milk. Set aside.

When done, remove pressure

cooker from heat. Allow pres-sure to release on its own or carefully quick-release pressure after a few minutes. Stir in the cornstarch-milk slurry. Cover and allow chowder to thicken for 10-15 minutes before serv-ing.

Portion soup into bowls and generously top with bacon. Garnish with green onion and cream or half-and-half, if desired. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.

The N.C. Maritime Museum, in partnership with the N.C. Coastal Reserve/National Estuarine Research Reserve, plans to give students an oppor-tunity to learn about the natural and maritime history of coastal North Carolina through creative, hands-on experiences.

For over 50 years, the Summer Science Program has taught children the wonders of the maritime environment. These courses are offered from June through August.

“Summer Science School pro-grams are my favorite programs of the year. It is awesome to watch the children’s passion and curiosity blossom as they encounter new experiences as pirates, explorers, fishermen and scientists,” said Christine Brin, school and group coor-dinator for the N.C. Maritime Museum. “These museum pro-grams give students a chance to explore the maritime world and develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the mari-time environment.”

Several of the classes are offered in partnership with the N.C. Coastal Reserve/National Estuarine Research Reserve. These are field-based hands-on classes that bring North Carolina’s coastal environment and culture to life for many chil-dren.

Operation Cookie Drop enters 13th year of donating Girl Scouts-N.C. Coastal Pines

has announced Operation Cookie Drop 2018, a council-wide community service project that donates Girl Scout Cookies to deployed military men and women around the globe.

Entering its 13th year, Operation Cookie Drop has donated nearly 900,000 boxes of cookies to the military, but for 2018, the goal is to reach 1 million boxes.

Through cookies sales, Girl Scouts across central and east-ern North Carolina work to receive donations through their local cookie booths, giving cus-

tomers the option to send one or more boxes of cookies to military personnel proudly serv-ing our country.

“Operation Cookie Drop is one of our favorite initiatives because it gives girls an oppor-tunity to give back to the men and women protecting our country,” Lisa Jones, CEO of Girl Scouts-N.C. Coastal Pines said. “Whether it be giving a token of gratitude, a reminder of home or simply a delicious snack, we encourage everyone to par-ticipate in Operation Cookie Drop to show support for our troops.”

Festival to present Acronym concertAcronym will perform the

next concert in the American Music Festival concert series.

The performance is at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24, at the First Presbyterian Church, 1604 Arendell St. Morehead City. Parking is free.

The concert will feature Antonio Bertali (1605-69): Sonata a6 in G minor; Giovanni Valentini (circa 1582-1649): Sonata a5 in G minor; Johann Rosenmüller (circa 1619-84) from Sonate da Camera: Sonata a5 No. 6 in A Minor; Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741): Concerto for Viola d’Amore and Lute in D Minor, RV 540; and Vivaldi: The Four Seasons.

Tickets at the door are $30. Call 252-728-6152 for reserva-tions.

For more information and tickets, visit www.americanmu-sicfestival.org or call 252-342-

After collecting the donated boxes, Girl Scouts-N.C. Coastal Pines takes them to local mili-tary bases including Seymour Johnson Airforce Base, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and Fort Bragg Army Base to be shipped out to troops over-seas.

While Operation Cookie Drop is an opportunity to give back those serving in the military, participating Girl Scouts are also able to develop financial and leadership skills through creative fundraising tactics.

Furthermore, participating girls can earn the Operation Cookie Drop patch once they collect 15 box donations, and

girls collecting more than 30 boxes will receive the limited edition Reach for a Million patch.

People looking to donate cookies as part of Operation Cookie Drop can donate via cash or credit card at local cookie booths. The Girl Scouts – N.C. Coastal Pines’ Cookie Program will run through Sunday, March 4.

All Girl Scout Cookie variet-ies are $4 per box.

To find cookies on sale near you, visit www.girlscouts.org/cookies. For information about Girl Scouts – N.C. Coastal Pines’ 2018 cookie season, visit www.nccoastalpines.org.

Winter Taste to focus on ‘Supper at the Hunting Camp’The winter edition of Taste

of Core Sound will celebrate “Supper at the Hunting Camp” by remembering and honoring the good food and good times of the old hunting clubs and camps of Core Banks.

The event is from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23, at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island.

The Taste begins with wine and cheese at 6 p.m., dinner at 7 and the program beginning just before 8.

The event is hosted by Core Sound’s Redhead Society and sponsored by Neuse Sports, Knott’s Warehouse and Trader Construction.

The menu, program, decora-tions and conversation will be focused on cooking traditions and the men and women who prepared fresh seafood and wild game stews.

“Everything tastes better on the Banks,” said Pam Morris whose father, uncles and broth-er spent “many a-night cooking and eating at Jul’s Camp at the Evergreens.”

Interviews with cooks and their descendants from the old hunting clubs will determine the menu and the storytelling.

Davis Island, the Pilentary, Hog Island and smaller hunting camps from Portsmouth and

Ocracoke to Salter Path will be the background for a night of fried oysters, stewed redheads, cornbread, light rolls and fig cake.

The night’s program will fea-ture waterfowl historian Doily Earl Fulcher who has spent a lifetime in these camps, hunting with decoys passed down for generations. He now remembers and writes the stories of these traditions.

His topic for the night will focus on “Clubhouse Decoys,” a term he’s brought to life with the history of the decoys.

As always, the winter Taste of Core Sound will feature a silent auction of decoys donated by members of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild and a live auction featuring this year’s “Heritage Decoy” – an Eldon Willis – Elmer Salter decoy donated by Dr. Stan Rule, and a “Next Generation Working Decoy” made and donated by Jack Gardner, the 2018 Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center Carver of the Year.

Neuse Sports will also provide items for silent auction.

“2018 will be the year to look forward to the next generation of Coresounders as we kickoff the Redhead Society Campaign at this year’s Winter Taste,” Ike

Southerland, founder of the museum’s Redhead Society Fund for education, said. “This special group of contributors recognize the importance of education at the museum and have joined the society to help expand our programming for the next gen-eration of Coresounders with a one-time gift of $250.”

Tickets for the event are $50 for members of the museum and $65 for nonmembers.

Call 252-278-1500 for reserva-tions. Seating is limited.

The story of Clubhouse Decoys

The Yankees came to the Carteret Gun and Rod Club about 1917 from a club on the upper Chesapeake Bay.

These men brought their decoys, which were made by the Havre de Grace decoy carvers. Most of the decoys were made by James Holly. The club lost all of them in the 1933 hurricane.

All of the men at Stacy and Davis Shore found the decoys after the storm while looking for their gear, including decoys which they had lost in the storm. After the 1933 hurricane, a lot of the decoy hunting stands of the Stacy and Davis Shore duck hunt-ers had these decoys.

Irving Fulcher found a skiff load of them and had his skiff tied

up at Mariah Creek. Leroy Davis, the caretaker of the Carteret Gun and Rod Club saw this skiff and contacted the sheriff.

Irving did not have to return the decoys because of salvage laws. However, he decided to knock the original heads off the decoys and place his carved decoy head on the decoy, put his initials “IF” in the bottom and repainted it.

Other duck hunters at Stacy and Davis Shore did the same thing creating what they called the Clubhouse Decoys.

Doily Earl Fulcher Sr. purchased

decoys from Irving in October 1966. The decoys had been part of his hunting rig stored in his net house since 1933.

“When I bought the decoys from Irving in 1966 I was after old decoys,” Mr. Doily said. “Irving was selling me decoys from his hunting rig but he had old decoys and decoys he had just made. I would pick out an old decoy and then he would pick out one of his new decoys that he had just made. I ended up with half and half. His new decoys became as valuable – or more valuable – than the old decoys.”

Clubhouse Decoys, like the one shown here, will be discussed during the winter edition of Taste of Core Sound, which is from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23. (Contributed photo)

He served for 28 years in the military before retiring in 2009.

Mr. Tata served two tours of duty at Fort Bragg in the 82nd Airborne Division. He also served as a brigade commander in the 101st Airborne Division and dep-uty commanding general of the 10th Mountain Division. Among his many accomplishments, Mr. Tata was awarded the Combat Action Badge and Bronze Star.

Well known to North Carolina, Mr. Tata served as the N.C. Secretary of Transportation and as the superintendent of the Wake County Public School System.

Currently he is the national security expert for One America News Network and comments on foreign policy matters on doz-ens of networks including Fox News, CNN, CBS and the Daily Buzz.

She noted that there are also some opportunities for adults to further their educations.

The NCCF is the single state-wide community foundation serving North Carolina and has administered more than $130 million in grants since its incep-tion in 1988.
