Ms. Miraglia began playing music at the age of 13 where she began exploring different types of artistic work.
After graduating college with a degree in creative writ-ing, Ms. Miraglia put her writ-ing skills, originally intended for novels, toward song writing and began her music career.
Ms. Miraglia’s music has been described as “an infec-tious stomp-box rhythm and harmonica with tunes ranging from heart-felt to socially con-scious that will move hearts and hips.”
Paul Patchel of State Street Blues Festival in Media, Pa. said, “Danielle is a dynamic and capti-vating musician; her rich soulful voice and blues guitar mastery resonate in a performance both rare and unforgettable.”
She has toured and played many shows across the U.S. and beyond, focusing in both the Folk and Blues circuits including New York State Blues Festival, New Bedford
Danielle Miraglia to perform May 16Summerfest, The Narrows Center for the Arts of Fall River, Mass., The Birchmere in Alexandria, Va., The Ramshed, in Annapolis Md., Sellersville Theater, in Sellersville Pa. and many more.

Whether she’s your mom or a “like-a-mother” mentor, chances are you’ve got a lot to thank her for this Mother’s Day. It’s a time for celebrating your biggest sup-porters, number one fans and best friends.
In life, we’re lucky to form rela-tionships with women we can learn from and grow with. Beth Somers, Elizabeth Nelson and Emily Tatak from the Wilton Test Kitchen con-sider themselves lucky.
Beth Somers, director of cre-ative content development, owes her start to her former boss Milette Raz. Ms. Raz is trained in the Wilton Method of Cake DecoratingTM and taught Somers how to decorate. But Ms. Somers thinks of Ms. Raz as so much more — calling her a mentor, her second mother and her friend. Years after working together, the duo teamed up for “Cupcake Wars” on the Food Network, returning home as champions of season six with win-ning recipes like Tropical Getaway Cupcakes.
Elizabeth Nelson, assistant culi-nary specialist, attributes her love of baking to her grandma Ann, learning the basics with her and picking up passed down recipes that she brought with her to col-lege. She looks up to her mother, her grandmother and her great-grandmother, whom she’s told she also gets her competitive nature from. Ms. Nelson and her grand-mother went through a lot of trial and error together to come up with what they believe is the perfect cinnamon roll recipe, very similar to this recipe for Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Glaze.
For Emily Tatak, preserving family recipes and continuing the traditions around the holidays and in the kitchen led to her career at Wilton as an assistant culinary spe-cialist. She owes her inspiration to her mom, who taught her how to bake. Together they iced cakes, decorated sugar cookies and even made a gingerbread house from scratch. Keeping with tradition, celebrating the holidays without grandma Irene’s Kolachy recipe just wouldn’t be the same.
For more recipe ideas to honor your mother or special mentor, visit s.wilton.com/MentorKnowsBest.
Cinnamon rolls with caramel glaze
Servings: 1 dozen rollsRolls:1 1/3 cups warm milk (105°F)2 packages (1/4-ounce each) active dry yeast¼ cup granulated sugar, divid-ed½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 egg yolks1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract¾ teaspoon salt4 cups bread flour, plus more for dustingFilling:½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened1/3 cup granulated sugar2 tablespoons bread flour2 tablespoons ground cinna-monGlaze:¼ cup (1/2 stick) butter½ cup lightly packed light brown sugar½ cup heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract¼ teaspoon salt1 cup confectioners’ sugar (about 1/4 pound)For rolls, stir together warm
milk, yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in large bowl. Let stand 5–10 min-utes or until foamy. Add butter, remaining three tablespoons sugar, egg yolks, vanilla and salt. Mix with electric mixer using dough hook on medium speed until com-bined. Gradually add flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix on medium speed until smooth, elastic dough forms, about five minutes.
Spray large bowl with vegeta-ble pan spray. Form dough into ball, place into bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand in warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
For filling, stir together butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon in medi-um bowl until well-combined.
Prepare 13-by-9-inch pan with vegetable pan spray.
Punch dough down and roll out to 18-by-14-inch rectangle on floured surface. Spread filling onto dough and roll up from long end, like a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal, trim ends and cut into 12 equally-sized pieces.
Place rolls into prepared pan; cover with plastic wrap and let rise 25–30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap from rolls and bake 25–29 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack while preparing glaze.
For glaze, melt butter in sauce-pan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and cream. Cook over medi-um-high heat until mixture reaches a simmer; cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Whisk in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Pour glaze over warm rolls. Serve warm.
Grandma’s kolachy cookiesServings: 6½ dozen cookies
Mentor knows best: the Mother’s Day edition
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract½ teaspoon salt Poppy seed, apricot and straw-berry pastry fillingConfectioners’ sugar, for dust-ingIn large bowl, beat cream
cheese and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add flour, vanilla and salt; beat until just combined. Divide dough into 2 disks. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill at least 12 hours.
Heat oven to 375°F.Working with one disk at a time,
roll each to 1/8-inch thickness on generously floured surface. Cut cookies using 2-inch round cutter. Place on cookie sheet and make indentation in dough with thumb. Spoon ½ teaspoon pastry filling into each indentation.
Bake 16–18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool cookies on pan on cooling grid five minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on grid. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serv-ing.
Tropical getaway cupcakesServings: 2 dozenCupcakes:2 eggs plus 4 egg whites, lightly beaten (reserve 2 yolks for filling)1 cup cream of coconut½ cup water1 teaspoon coconut extract½ teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla Extract
2 cups all-purpose flour1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut, coarsely chopped1 cup granulated sugar1 tablespoon baking powder¼ teaspoon salt¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter, soft-ened and cut into tablespoonsFilling:2 egg yolks3 tablespoons cornstarch1 ¼ cups thick mango juice, divided1 tablespoon granulated sugarPinch saltIcing:2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened2½ cups confectioners’ sugar 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest (about 1 orange)1 teaspoon Wilton Pure Vanilla ExtractHeat oven to 350°F. Line muf-
fin pans with baking cups.In large bowl, whisk together
eggs, egg whites, cream of coco-nut, water, coconut and vanilla extracts until well combined.
In large bowl, mix flour, shred-ded coconut, sugar, baking pow-der and salt with electric mixer on low speed until combined, about 15 seconds. Add butter, one table-spoon at a time, continuing to beat on low speed until mixture looks dry and crumbly and largest chunks of butter are about ¼ inch in diameter, about 30 seconds. Stop mixer and add half of liquid ingredients. Beat on low speed until flour mixture is moistened, about 15 seconds. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, about 45 seconds. With mixer still running, slowly
stream in remaining liquid. Stop mixer and scrape sides and bottom of bowl. Beat on medium speed for an additional 30 seconds. Divide batter evenly into baking cups, filling about 2/3 full.
Bake 18–22 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in centers of cupcakes comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in pan on cooling grid five minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on grid.
For filling, whisk together egg yolks, cornstarch and ¼ cup mango juice in small bowl until smooth.
In saucepan, combine remain-ing 1 cup mango juice, sugar and salt. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Slowly stream half of hot liquid into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Add egg yolk mixture back into saucepan and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Strain through fine mesh sieve. Cool completely.
For icing, beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl with elec-tric mixer on medium speed until creamy; gradually add confection-ers’ sugar, ½ cup at a time, scrap-ing down bottom and sides of bowl as necessary. Add orange zest and vanilla extract and beat until fully incorporated.
To assemble, remove center of cupcake with coring tool or paring knife. Fill with mango filling. Pipe icing onto cupcakes.
Note: Stir cream of coconut before measuring it, as it tends to settle as it sits. Coconut can be coarsely chopped in food proces-sor or with knife.

ASSOCIATED PRESSThe aging actress has always
been a deliciously potent sub-ject for movies, from Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard” to Margo Channing in “All About Eve” and way beyond.
It’s clear why: The struggle to remain young and vital is so universal, yet especially urgent for a movie star. It’s also because playing an aging star is such a wonderfully juicy role for – well, an aging star.
Which brings us to gorgeous Juliette Binoche, who, at 51, is hardly what we’d call aging — even if she looked her age, which she doesn’t, we all know 50 is the new 30. Still, in “Clouds of Sils Maria,” her luminous, expressive
face becomes an ideal canvas for director Olivier Assayas to medi-tate on the interweaving forces of time, age, identity, self-worth, art and a few other things.
Assayas also makes excel-lent use of a compelling Kristen Stewart, moving even farther from her “Twilight” days (and slyly mocking them) as a cere-bral, doubt-plagued personal assistant. Assayas completes his intriguing actress triangle with young Chloë Grace Moretz as Jo-Ann Ellis, an of-the-moment Hollywood starlet who seeks more serious acting cred.
Binoche plays Maria Enders, a 40-something French actress who has found success both in serious European work and in Hollywood blockbusters (much like Binoche herself).
“I’m tired of acting hang-ing from wires in front of green screens,” she tells her assistant, Valentine (Stewart). “I’ve out-grown it.”
All the more reason, Valentine will argue, that Maria should accept an offer to star in a London revival of the play – and then film – that made her a star two decades earlier. In “Maloja Snake,” named after a mysti-cal Alpine cloud formation that signals bad weather, Maria once shone as the ingenue Sigrid, whose potent charms drive her older boss, Helena, to suicide.
But now, Maria’s being asked to play not Sigrid, but Helena. She hates the character for her weak-ness and desperation. Making things worse, the actress who first played the role ended up dying
soon after in a car accident, add-ing superstition to the mix.
But Maria realizes it’s an opportunity she can’t pass up – especially with the publicity that Jo-Ann will generate; a Lindsay Lohan type, she’s a TMZ regular and utter catnip to the paparazzi.
So she agrees, and the lengthy middle section of the film finds her – hair now cut unglamorous-ly short, with no more makeup or sleek gowns – holed away to rehearse lines with Valentine in a remote Swiss Alps chalet, near where one can occasion-ally spy that eerie but beauti-ful cloud formation. In these increasingly intense scenes, the line often seems intentionally blurred between the two wom-en’s real-life interaction and the roles they’re reading.
Amid all the subtext about aging, there’s also an exploration of what constitutes art. Maria and Valentine check out Jo-Ann’s lat-est Hollywood film, watching her zap an opponent with her superpowers, and then share a lively debate.
“There’s no less truth there than in a supposedly serious film,” Valentine insists, to which Maria simply bursts out laugh-ing.
In many ways, “Clouds of Sils Maria” is very similar to the mountain path that Maria and Valentine hike one morn-ing, hoping to catch a peek at the ominous snaking clouds. It’s winding, and it sure takes time and patience, and it’s not all that clearly marked. But by the end, you’re left with quite a view.
Review: ‘Clouds of Sils Maria’ a meditation on again

NEWS-TIMESOne of the greatest gifts a
mother can receive for Mother’s Day is one that touches the heart.
That special day is May 10, and here’s a sample of some unique gift-giving opportuni-ties made possible through a local artist, Mother’s Day art painting events and an online charitable wine retailer.
For a personalized and unique gift option, Corey Giesey is a Morehead City artist who has created splat-ter child portraits that make a heartfelt gift for mom.
He is also a father to Owen, a fourth grade student at Morehead City Elementary School, and Tyler, a sixth-grad-er at Morehead City Middle School, who were the subjects of his first portraits that he recently gifted to his wife, Rachel.
The portraits now hang on the walls of the couples newly constructed home.
Ms. Giesey said of the por-traits, “As a mother, they are so special to me. There is some-
Local artist, online charity wine retailer offer unique gift ideas
thing special about an artist being able to capture the inno-cence of your kids. It’s even
more special that these paint-ings are my husband’s work.”
To her, the paintings offer a uniqueness that photographs cannot. She added, “When I look at them, I see a moment captured in time that has been
made more beautiful through paint. I can also see the love my husband puts into his work and especially these paintings of our kids. That’s what makes them better than a photograph for me.”
As for the boys, they too are proud of the portraits. Owen shared, “I think it’s colorful, it has a lot of detail and it’s a really nice painting.”
Tyler agreed and said, “They really show all the features and brighten all of the features of our faces. They are really awe-some.”
Mr. Giesey says he has always enjoyed the challenge of portraits, however, most of his past work with portraits are pencil drawings. He added, “I only recently discovered the portrait work of Peter Terrin. His work is what inspired me to start creating the splatter portraits.
“To me, these paintings weren’t only about capturing the way the boys look, but the energy they have also. I think the most important thing is to capture the eyes, from there, the bold colors and splatter techniques create the energy and attitude.”
In addition to child portraits, Mr. Giesey has been selected as an artist featured in the upcom-ing exhibition at “Fishing the Ocean for Art,” to be held at Carolina Artist Gallery from May 23 to Friday, July 3. Along with other artists, Mr. Giesey’s work featuring sea creatures and other natural coastal won-ders will be featured during to the show to complement its coastal lifestyle and commer-cial fishing theme.
Interested buyers looking to reserve upcoming portrait ses-sions may contact Mr. Giesey at [email protected]. To connect and view more of his work, including acrylic paintings on surfboards, follow him on Instagram @cgiesey.
Two additional artistic gift options are events where moth-ers can spend time with chil-dren during a painting session hosted by Wine and Design. Both events will be held at the Friendly Market, 205 Friendly Road, Morehead City, on Mother’s Day.
The first event, Mother’s Day Garden Luncheon, will be held from 12:30-2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 10, and will offer participants an afternoon paint-ing at the market surrounded by its flowers where they will be served a lunch from Mindy’s

For residents with mother’s both near and far, a unique option that is also a chari-table one is offered through Onehope, an online wine and coffee retailer that aims to sup-port several causes through wine sales and nonprofit part-nerships.
During Mother’s Day, Onehope offers a Mimosa Bar set featuring three bottles of sparkling wine with a percent-age of its sales going toward ending childhood hunger.
Each set includes three bottles of Onehope sparkling wines, five carafes, four fruit bowls, one muddler, one rim-ming sugar tray, along with straws, carafe tags and fruit cards to help mom set up a tasteful display of mimosa.

May is Lupus Awareness month. Research shows that nearly two-thirds of the public knows little or noth-ing about lupus. The Lupus Foundation of America, N.C. Chapter (LFANC) is commit-ted to changing that as part of its ongoing educational and advocacy efforts and in com-memorating Lupus Awareness Month in May.
“Lupus has a brutal impact that the public doesn’t realize,” said Christine John-Fuller, President and CEO of LFANC. “We encourage everyone to take action and get involved in Lupus Awareness Month to make a difference in improv-ing the quality of lives of those living with this devastating disease. Everyone needs to know lupus to create a future with no lupus.”
Lupus is an unpredictable and misunderstood autoim-mune disease that ravages dif-ferent parts of the body. It is difficult to diagnose, hard to live with and a challenge to treat. Lupus has a large range of symptoms and has no known case and no known cure.
During Lupus Awareness Month, the LFANC is asking the public to “Put On Purple” by wearing purple and telling people why they are showing their support for all people –including 45,000 N.C. resi-dents – affected by this dis-ease.
Put on Purple Day takes place May 15 and is an aware-ness initiative that started in N.C. and has since expanded nation wide.
In addition, the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) has launched a new multi-media campaign encouraging the public to know lupus. The campaign features a series of television public service announcements (PSAs) that will be rolled out over next year. They include a collection of testimonials and statements from people with lupus and celebrity advocates, includ-ing Whoopi Goldberg, Susan Lucci and the cast of Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” among others. For more infor-mation, visit lupus.org/know.
Other lupus related activi-ties take place during the
month all over North Carolina to help raise awareness for the disease. Throughout the month there will be support groups as well as:• The Know Lupus Challenge card game. Test your knowl-edge of the disease and chal-lenge others to Know Lupus. Each time someone takes the Know Lupus challenge, the LFA’s National Board Chair’s family will donate $1 to lupus research up to $50,000. Visit lupus.org/know to play the card game. • May 8: Purple Lighting of Duke Energy Center in Charlotte. The building will be purple an hour before sunrise and again 30 minutes before sunset until midnight. • May 10: World Lupus Day. More than 5 million people around the world have lupus, and this event raises aware-ness for the disease. • May 13: Teleconference “Living Well with Lupus.” Donald Thomas, M.D. FCAP, FACR, CCD, author of The Lupus Encyclopedia: A Comprehensive Guide for
Lupus Awareness Month arrives

The program combines
Simon Spalding is a musician who uses history in his music. He will be performing at Trent River Coffee Co. on Saturday, May 9. (Simon Spalding photo)
Songs, storytelling combine in program May 9
songs, tunes and storytelling to weave an intricate tapestry of exploration, adventure and far-off lands and seas.
The songs include Rudyard Kipling’s poem sung to the English folk tune he probably intended for it, a song about Amelia Earhart’s tragic last flight, Stephen Foster’s trib-ute to his favorite riverboat, Confederate and Union Navy songs and many more songs
of the sea. Instrumental tunes from far-flung corners of the globe round out the program.
This concert will also include Mr. Spalding’s origi-nal song, “The Ballad of S.S Rex,” about a gambling ship that was anchored three miles from the Santa Monica Pier from 1938 through 1941.
The instruments include the familiar violin and banjo, the exotic Chinese erhu and
Tahitian ukulele, and the sim-ply bizarre, kazookeylele, an instrument that combines toy piano, ukulele and kazoo into one instrument.
Trent River Coffee Co. is at 208 Craven St. in New Bern. Tickets are $8 and are avail-able at the door. For more information, call 252-514-2030. For more on the artist, check out Simon Spalding at www.musicalhistory.com.

the movie “Fantasia,” a fairy ballet based on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and a rendition of “Colors of the Wind” from “Pocahontas.”

NEWS-TIMESJoining Carteret Community
Theatre’s long list of folk art-ists will be a trio of sisters traveling from their native Texas to show an Eastern North Carolina audience how they became known as the South’s “triple-threat fiddle champions.”
Bringing authentic-Americana to stage will be The Quebe Sisters at 8 p.m. Friday, May 8 in Morehead City.
According to the trio’s biog-raphy page, when The Quebe Sisters take the stage and start playing and singing in multi-part close harmony, audiences are usually “transfixed, then blown away.”
Not surprisingly, the trio has earned standing ovations at just about every show since they started touring in 2000. Whether decked out wear-ing denim jeans and boots or dressed fashionably to the nines in skirts and heels, this young group, all in their 20s, is said to sound as good as they look.
The Quebe Sisters are made up of Hulda, Sophia and Grace, who each developed a passion for the fiddle in 1998 while attending a local fiddle competition near their home in a southern suburb of Fort Worth, Texas.
That passion developed the sisters to become respected fiddlers earning solo and group accolades early on, winning state and national champion-ships in their respective age groups.
The whiz-kid Western swing fiddlers soon headlined their own shows and along-side music legends such as Willie Nelson, George Strait, the Gatlin Brothers and more.
More recently, after travel-ing throughout the world for more than a decade and releas-ing three acclaimed albums, the musicians now claim pro-fessional status in several genres, adding many more famous musicians among their biggest boosters. The Quebe Sisters and their experiences have taken them further than they imagined.
According to a reviewer on Saving County Music’s web-site, The Quebe Sisters were compared to other county musician, Taylor Swift, and noted for being no doubt a good role model for young girls.
The reviewer shared that while seeing the trio, “they raised the roof” offering a “mag-nificent arrangement of vocal harmonies and instrumentation that makes them a sight to see.” Adding, “old school entertain-ment is their bag.”
On April 14, The Quebe Sisters were featured on Late Night with David Letterman where they proved their tal-ent as rooted Americana musi-cians joining on stage for a performance with multiple Grammy-awarding winning artists Asleep at the Wheel.
The performance featured guest artist Kat Edmondson who sang “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love,” with Ray Benson. The song is from the album “Still the Kings” released to celebrate the music of Bob Willis and the Texas Playboys.
“One thing is for sure, you don’t see a group like The Quebe Sisters come along every day. Give them your undivided attention, and if you are not already, you too, will become a fan,” said famed Grand Ole Opry announcer Edie Stubbs.
Ed King, one of the original members of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd said, “The Quebe Sisters play the best feel good music I’ve ever heard. When they’re playing, I can’t stop smiling. I’d drive a thousand miles to hear them again.”
For more information on The Quebe Sisters, visit quebesist-ers.com or follow on Twitter @QuebeSisters.

Blue Ocean Market in Morehead City and Pamlico Packing in Grantsboro.
The Ruddy Duck Tavern and several other local restaurants throughout the book are also part of the nonprofit organization that promotes the purchasing of local seafood, Carteret Catch, work-ing to offer visitors to the region and residents alike foods that are homegrown and part of the sur-rounding culture.

Mr. Batchelor has been writ-ing about restaurants and travel since 1981. He is the restaurant reviewer for the Greensboro News and Record and previously wrote for the Winston-Salem Journal.

Congress authorized the admission of women to the fed-eral service academies in 1975, and at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 13, the New Bern Historical Society will present its first female graduate during a lunch at Chelsea Restaurant.
West Point Military Academy admitted its first 119 female cadets in 1976.
Before those first female cadets arrived, retired Army Lt. Col. Sarah Parker Smith was the only female officer at West Point.
During the lunch presentation, she’ll share some of her experi-ences and journey that led the way for more females to follow.
Originally from Raleigh, Lt. Col. Smith received her commis-sion in the Army upon gradua-tion from college.
Her 24 years of service incor-porated positions as a dieti-tian, during both active duty and as a reservist. She was the dietitian to the U.S. Military Academy during the preparation for the initial entry of women to West Point.
During that assignment she was featured in Ladies Home Journal,
First female graduate of military academy to speak at luncheon
Philadelphia Inquirer and National Enquirer on the sub-ject of diet and exercise at
West Point. Years later her final assignment was while working in the reserves as an admission
liaison officer. Lt. Col. Smith has lived in
much of the United States and
Female graduates of West Point Military Academy attend a graduation ceremony. The first female graduate, retired Army Lt. Col. Sarah Parker Smith, will speak at a luncheon for the New Bern Historical Society 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 13, at Chelseas Restraurant in New Bern. (Contributed photo)
Japan, where she was fortunate to study Japanese Embroidery and upon returning to the United States, she was able to intro-duce Japanese embroidery to the Smithsonian Institute.
Lt. Col. Smith and her hus-band, Bedford, currently reside in Beaufort, where she has a private practice in nutrition and health counseling and contin-ues to study and teach Japanese embroidery.
Lunch and Learn will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Chelsea Restaurant, 335 Middle St., New Bern.
Lunch choices are brown but-ter barbecue chicken with sau-téed zucchini and gourmet maca-roni and cheese; or taco salad with Southwestern ground beef, mixed greens, sliced jalapeños, cucumbers and tomatoes in a crisp tortilla bowl with cheddar-jack cheese and sour cream.
Tickets are $16 for society members and $18 for non-mem-bers; lunch is included. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling 252-638-8558.
