The N.C. Coastal Federation invites visitors to climb aboard the covered passenger boat, the Lady Swan, for the Coastal Federation’s 2016 Summer Cruise Series.
Coastal Cruises are scheduled for the following Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to noon: July 6, July 27 and Aug. 10.
According to the N.C. Coastal Federation, these two-hour tours cruise through the estuar-ies around Swansboro and Bear Island offering participants “a relaxing and fun-filled morning on the water.”
This year’s Coastal Cruise program will depart from the Hammocks Beach State Park Visitor Center in Swansboro.
“This cruise offers spectacular views of the coastline from a very different perspective,” the federa-tion said. “Here, where the rivers meet the sea, we come to nourish our youthful spirit by fishing, sail-ing, swimming and sometimes, just kicking back and enjoying the ride.”
The federation said participants will experience and learn about the vital habitat that is home to
hundreds of amazing marine crea-tures. If conditions are favorable, the federation said participants may also get to pull a dip and seine net to see firsthand what creatures actually live beneath the waves.
Fees for either cruise are $20 for federation members and $25 for nonmembers. All ages are welcome, through the program is geared toward adults and older children.
For more about the N.C. Coastal Federation, visit the federation’s website nccoast.org.

�arrboro band to perform at DockhouseBY ALLIE MOBLEYCONTRIBUTOR
Fourth of July weekend will fea-ture free live music by Carrboro band The Grand Shell Game.
The concert will be at the Dockhouse on 500 Front St. in Beaufort Sunday-Monday, July 3-4.

The band released their debut album “Man on a Wire” June 11 after recording at the renowned

The album was produced by Greg Giorgio and is a break-out work for both Mr. Giorgio and the band.

percussion and vocals and Rob DiMauro on drums, percussion and vocals.
Beginning with the title track inspired by the novel Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann, the album poses a series of ques-tions and perspectives via six songs within a shifting landscape of styles and sonic colors.
For more information, contact Carl Hanni at [email protected] or 520-622-6313. The band can be found on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Clearing up food label confusion:In May 2016, the FDA announced
a revamped Nutrition Facts Panel that includes, among other improvements, clearly listing added sugars on their own line for the first time.
Up until now, both added and natu-rally occurring sugars have been lumped
together under one “sugars” line, making it vexing for the average eater to determine how much sugar is naturally occurring ver-sus added, especially given the dozens of different names for sweeteners that manu-facturers often use. When this change hits supermarket shelves, families will be able to more easily spot foods and beverages that contain little to no added sugar.
In addition to highlighting added sugars and potassium, the Nutrition Facts Panel will now more accurately reflect serving sizes that Americans actually eat and drink. Also, packages that are reasonably con-sumed in a single sitting will no longer get a free ride using smaller serving sizes and list-ing multiple “servings” per bag, container or can.

BY LINDSEY BAHRASSOCIATED PRESS
“Central Intelligence,” a buddy action-comedy starring Kevin Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, doesn’t pack many big laughs, but it is likely to keep a smile on your face for the duration.
That’s largely because of the charisma of its two leads, who wholly embrace the earnest goofiness of Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen’s (“The Mindy Project”) story about two guys at the opposite ends of the high school hierarchy. There’s more to it than that, but at its heart - and yes, this movie has a big, beating heart – this story centers on a high school prince who grows up to be an ordinary guy (Mr. Hart’s Calvin Joyner) and the over-weight outcast who sheds his flab and becomes exception-al (Mr. Johnson’s Bob Stone)
and what they learn from one another. Seriously.
The movie, from “We’re The Millers” director Rawson Marshall Thurber, who also has a script credit, opens on a flashback of a 1996 high school pep rally where Calvin offers an act of kindness to his less fortunate classmate when everyone else just sits there and laughs. Cut to 20 years later and “most likely to succeed” Calvin is married to his high school girlfriend (Danielle Nicolet) and work-ing as a midlevel accountant who’s just been passed over for a promotion that his for-mer assistant gets instead. It’s the eve of their high school reunion and he’d rather not go at all. He’s feeling a little too average for the “what are you doing now” small talk.
That’s when Bob comes back into his life. A random friend request from a mysteri-
ous fellow who claims to like guns, pancakes and unicorns, followed by a few enthusiastic Facebook messages, lead to the two getting together for drinks. Bob is not the 300-pound pariah anymore. He’s The Rock.
And yet, despite the exte-rior upgrade, though, he’s still an affable dweeb at heart, rocking a fanny pack, jean shorts, a unicorn T-shirt. He’s genuinely thrilled to be hang-ing out with Calvin, too.
It just so happens that Bob is also a super spy who is on the run from his fellow CIA agents for mysterious reasons. Calvin, of course, gets entan-gled in all of this, bringing the requisite wide-eyed WTF per-spective needed in this sort of over-the-top comedy.
Again, it ’s the actors who really bring “Central Intelligence” home. One of Mr. Johnson’s great onscreen
strengths is that he has a believable softness to him that belies his hard shell, even in his more hardcore roles. Here, that high-wattage cha-risma is turned up to 11. He’s almost daring you not to smile along with him.
Mr. Hart, in the straight man role, gets to flex some mus-cles that not many comedies ask of him – relative subtlety. For a man who displays such unwavering confidence most of the time, Mr. Hart’s Calvin is like a less depressed Louis C.K. In some past life, this might have even been a Steve Martin role.
“Central Intelligence” also boasts an impressive ros-ter of cameos and bit parts from comedians like “Silicon Valley’s” Kumail Nanjiani and a few others.
The plot is pretty silly and not worth much discussion, although in its nearly two-
hour runtime, some scenes drag on interminably and bits start to feel a little repeti-tive. Mr. Thurber should have trimmed some of that fat but he probably didn’t want to throw out any even slightly amusing footage of his two superstars. And what didn’t make it into the film can prob-ably be found in the blooper reel at the end.
Despite its shortcomings, “Central Intelligence” is a satisfyingly sweet summer distraction that should only improve with time and repeat viewings.
“Central Intelligence,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “crude and suggestive humor, some nudity, action violence, and brief strong language.” Running time: 114 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

International singer song-writer, Jennifer Licko, specializing in Scots Gaelic and Country folk music, is bringing her internation-al band back to the Southeast, including a performance at New Bern’s N.C. History Center at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 5.
As an international touring art-ist who is featured on national radio in the U.S., Ms. Licko has proven herself as a respected musician within the Celtic genre while acquiring fans outside of that niche.
Ms. Licko masterfully combines the Appalachian music of her North Carolina roots with the traditional Celtic music of her ancestors.
On this tour, audiences will enjoy Ms. Licko’s lively band that includes two-time all-Ireland fid-dle champion, Andrew Finn Magill, who is another North Carolina native also living in Brazil.
Those familiar with Ms.
Licko’s Christmas concerts will be familiar with the Irish guitar wiz Patsy O’Brien. His background credits in accompanying Celtic solo-ists include Eileen Ivers, Cherish the Ladies singer Cathie Ryan and piping legend Paddy Keenan.
Ms. Licko’s most recent album “A Thousand Curses Upon Love” was recently voted by Celtic Music Radio as Celtic Album of the Year and is receiving national airplay.
The Irish Edition writes, “At times, Jennifer Licko has a haunt-ing vibrato in her voice, at times she attacks songs with a deep feeling, but she always attracts as she sings.”
Audiences can expect to hear that familiar Celtic sound in the musical arrangements and melod-ic Celtic style. Some songs are sung in English and others in Scots Gaelic.
Visit www.jenniferlicko.com or call 561-670-5534 for tickets.

“A rock legend whose earli-est musical influence came from psalms and gospel songs, with a strong grounding in country and blues. These styles combined to provide his unique musical iden-tity.”
So begins the listing for Elvis Aaron Presley in the Billboard Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock.
Elvis died at the relatively young age of 42 on Aug. 16, 1977, leav-ing behind a musical and movie legacy that remains undiminished to this day.
In honor of the King’s enduring appeal, the Webb Library has sched-uled the “Summer of Elvis” monthly film series, with the first show sched-uled for Thursday, June 30.
Screenings of four of Mr. Presley’s finest cinematic perfor-mances will take place throughout the summer.
Subscriptions for the series will be available for $15, and tickets for individual shows will be available at the door for $5 each.
To subscribe in advance, call the Webb Memorial Library at 252-726-3012, or stop by at 812 Evans St. Popcorn and drinks will be available. All donations will benefit the library.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with the show to start at 7. Show dates and movie titles are as fol-lows:• Thursday, June 30: “Love Me Tender” (1956) Director: Robert D. Webb. Cast: Elvis, Richard Egan, Debra Paget, Neville Brand. Conflicting politics in a Southern family happen during the Civil War. Songs include “Love Me Tender, “Let Me” and “Poor Boy.” This was Presley’s first film feature.
Remembering the King: ‘Summer of Elvis’ set at Webb Memorial Library
• Thursday, July 21: “Jailhouse Rock” (1957) Director: Richard Thorpe. Cast: Elvis, Judy Tyler, Dean Jones, Mickey Shaughnessey. In this movie, jailbird Elvis learns how to play the guitar in the slam-mer and becomes a singing sensa-tion when he gets out. Fantastic choreography and Leiber-Stoller soundtrack includes “Treat Me Nice,” “Don’t Leave Me Now” and “Jailhouse Rock.” • Thursday, Aug. 18: “G.I. Blues” (1960) Director: Norman Taurog. Cast: Elvis, Juliet Prouse, Robert Ivers. This movie features a romance between leggy cabaret dancer Prouse and guitar-strum-ming GI Elvis in post-war West Germany. Songs include “Tonight is So Right for Love,” “Wooden
Heart,” “Blue Suede Shoes” and the title track. This is the first movie after Elvis’ Army discharge. • Thursday, Sept. 22: The series ends with “Elvis ‘68 Comeback Special,” which first aired on Dec. 3, 1968, on NBC-TV. It marked the end of Elvis’ goodbye to Hollywood after nearly a decade of making formulaic screen fea-tures designed mainly to sell soundtrack albums and a return to his first love, making music. Clad in his iconic black leather suit, he performed classic hits on stage and interacted with the audience in impromptu “jam” sessions. It was the network’s highest rated show that year and is cited as “one of the most celebrated moments in pop broadcast history.”
While he was still driving a truck, Elvis visited Sun Studios in Memphis, Tenn., to record a version of the Ink Spots’ “My Happiness” as a birthday pres-ent for his mother, Gladys. Sun Studios manager and producer Sam Phillips was impressed by Mr. Presley’s potential; Mr. Phillips had already amassed a stable of artists including Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. Elvis cut several singles for Sun, beginning with “That’s All Right (Mama)” backed with (b/w) “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” Success of the single led to appearances on the “Grande Ole Opry” and “Louisiana Hayride” radio programs.
Teamed with guitarist Scotty Moore, bassist Bill Black and drummer D.J. Fontana, Mr. Presley per-formed a series of dates in 1955 touring Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas, billed as “The King of Western Bop” and “The Hillbilly Cat.” These rather tame sobriquets would give way to “Elvis the Pelvis” once his on-stage hip-shakin’ gyrations sent female fans into a frenzy.
Sensing a phenomenon in the making, Col. Tom Parker – who already managed several country artists – bought Mr. Presley’s contract from Phillips for $35,000. A paltry sum, considering the millions of dollars Elvis would earn over the years through concerts, record sales and box office revenue. Mr. Parker signed Mr. Presley to RCA Records, and “Hound Dog” b/w “Don’t Be Cruel” became the most commercially successful double-sided single in pop.
Elvis will be featured over the summer during the Webb Memorial Library’s program, “Summer of Elvis.” The library will show Elvis movies starting at 7 p.m. on various Thursdays throughout the summer. The first showing is Thursday, June 30. (File photo)

The 13th annual Storytelling Festival will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesdays, July 6, July 13, July 20 and July 27, at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City and at 2 p.m. at the Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Bogue.
Professional storytellers will delight children of all ages with their wonderful stories. The performances are:• Wednesday, July 6: No Sleeves Magic from Wilmington. Voted best family entertainer eight years in a row by the Wilmington Parent Magazine, Michael Rosander and his group inspire children, not only in magic and theater but also in life.• Wednesday, July 13: Jess Willis from Florence, S.C. A sto-ryteller at heart, she loves to tell anything from folk and frac-tured fairy tales to family sto-ries and personal foibles. She believes no matter a person’s age, everyone needs stories.• Wednesday, July 20: Bright Star Touring Theater from Asheville. The theater company has earned a national reputation for high-quality performances that play to a young audience’s intelligence and meet nation-al standards of learning. Their programs are as educational as they are entertaining.• Wednesday, July 27: Claire Ramsey from Oxford. Her wish as a storyteller is to bring her audience to a place where they remember their first stories, pictures filling their minds and hearts. Stories with Claire spe-cializes in folk tales from around the world for story lovers of all ages.
By offering these highly edu-cational performances, with song, theater, laughter and imagination, the library pro-gram lays down a foundation of teaching and learning.
Because stories often have layers of meanings, the children have to listen closely to iden-
Storytelling Festival to entice listeners
tify the knowledge in the story. Storytelling is an effective tool for demonstrating respect through the practice of listen-ing and paying attention.
Stories provide a wealth of good examples and children can use what they hear in prob-
lem solving and conflict deci-sions. Example is always the best teacher.
Books and love of reading is forever the main subject in the presentations. The librar-ies play an important role in providing children with reading
materials and learning oppor-tunities during the summer months, and all libraries in the county have a summer reading program ongoing, the storytell-ing festival is in tandem with that effort.
The children’s librarians, at
the different branches, have creative, educational and fun programs for children of all ages.
For more information, con-tact a local library branch or visit the library’s website at carteret.cpclib.org.

All the storytelling performers will visit the Crystal Coast Civic Center at 10 a.m. and Bethlehem

Here’s How It Works:Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

The Beaufort Historic Site is the place to be from 7-11 p.m. Saturday, July 9, for the annual Summer Party.
What started as a celebration of Beaufort’s 300th anniversary in 2009 has quickly become a tradition and a way to celebrate the seafaring community of Beaufort.
Everyone is invited to join the party for food, a full bar and live music.
Beaufort Grocery Co. will provide the food with a menu inspired by the sea, while a full bar is available, as well as a special signature drink to wel-come guests at the start of the party by committee co-chair-man Doug Brady.
The Summer Party will also feature live music by Raleigh band Punch. The eight-piece band plays everything from 70s Funk and Motown to today’s top 40 pop hits. The high-energy group will have everyone on the dance floor.
Complementing the food, drinks and music will be both live and silent auctions. This
year’s auction will be hosted online. Bidding can start early at www.beauforthistoricsite.org.
Over 100 items will be fea-tured including tickets to the Broadway show “Hamilton,” a sport fishing trip on a 55-foot Jarrett Bay boat and a vacation rental of a Front Street home.
Bidding can be done through the Beaufort Historic Site’s web-site prior to the event, and elec-tronic bidding will be available at the event via personal cell phone or on a bidding device provided at the site.
Tickets are $100 and may be purchased in advance or the day of the event at the Beaufort Historic Site Welcome Center at 130 Turner St. or online at www.beauforthistoricsite.org.
All proceeds from ticket sales and auction items benefit the preservation, restoration and education programs of the Beaufort Historic Site.
For more information on this and other Beaufort Historical Association events, stop by the Historic Site or call 252-728-5225.

Fourth of July “Independence Night” event at the N.C. History Center, on New Bern’s historic riverfront, from 6-9:30 p.m. Monday, July 4.
“We want to give families a fun and safe place to spend the Fourth of July,” said Tryon Palace Executive Director Lee Johnson. “That’s why we cre-ated Independence Night as an evening with music, food and entertainment for children from the best vantage point in the city for watching fireworks on the Fourth.”
“Independence Night: A Fourth of July Celebration at the N.C. History Center” fea-tures a buffet of hamburgers, hot dogs and an ice cream bar, live music from Billy Holton and the Soul Shakers, face painting and a riverfront view of the downtown New Bern fireworks.
Tickets are $10 for the gener-al public, $5 for ages 6 through
10, and free for ages 5 and under. Tickets for Tryon Palace Foundation members will be free while supplies last.
Admission includes tickets to the buffet. Additional food will be available for purchase from Dank Burrito, 2014 winner of Mobile Cuisine’s National Food Truck Rookie of the Year.
Visitors are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs. No pets or coolers are permitted. This is an alcohol-free event.
Parking for this event will be available at the N.C. History Center at a cost of $5 for each vehicle and available on a first-come, first-served basis. To purchase tickets or parking passes in advance, call 252-639-3524.
This event is sponsored by the Harold H. Bate Foundation and the Tryon Palace Foundation.

“Our North Carolina Patriots made Tryon Palace the first seat of the revolutionary assemblies after the last British gover-nor departed this post for the safety of a British warship at Wilmington,” said Mr. Johnson. “There is no better and more fitting place anywhere in this state for us to celebrate North Carolina’s role in our War for Independence.”

Carteret Community College Foundation’s Veteran Student Success Center has been select-ed as the charity recipient for the 2017 Penguin Plunge.
The mission of the Veteran Student Success Center is to arm our military active duty, veter-ans and dependents with the resources and support neces-sary to achieve their educational goals and dreams.
Hank Hingley, Veteran Student Success Center Coordinator, is a psychology faculty member and retired Marine. He works one-on-one with veteran students through the admission, enroll-ment and financial aid processes all the way to degree comple-tion.
Mr. Hingley noted that the Veteran Student Success Center offers first-hand experiences to our veterans on making the tran-sition from military to student
and civilian life. The objectives of the center
are to further assist in the tran-sition from military to campus life through peer and social sup-port and by creating a home base environment where veter-ans can feel safe while seeking assistance.
“The Veteran Student Success Center is committed to ensuring our veterans achieve a successful academic experience,” said Mr. Hingley.
“The Penguin Plunge Board of Directors is excited to sup-port the Veteran Student Success Center,” said Miriam Sutton, co-founder of the Penguin Plunge. “The Veteran Student Success Center currently serves over 200 veterans. We hope our event will also increase awareness of Veteran Student Success Center

and encourage veterans to consid-er attending Carteret Community College to pursue their academic goals.”
The 2017 Penguin Plunge will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 1, at the Atlantic Beach circle.
“We are currently seeking spon-sorships for the 2017 event,” said Ms. Sutton, noting that sponsors can contact the board of directors or download sponsorship infor-
mation through the website www.penguin-plunge.org and Facebook page.
“Sponsor donations are used to offset the event costs so that money raised during the one-day event can go directly to the char-ity,” Ms. Sutton added.

Plans for the all-new Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival are rap-idly coming together, including construction of a platform that will serve as the stage, and as the stage for the annual free summer Emerald Fest concert series at the Western Ocean Regional Access.
The beach music festival on Saturday, Aug. 27, will be an updated, more family-friendly ver-sion of the old, privately produced annual Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival, last held 17 years ago at the Holiday TravL Park owned and operated by Ronnie Watson.
Bands scheduled to perform include traditional beach music favorites The TAMS and Jim Quick & Coastline, plus Sammy O’Banion, Hip Pocket and Too Much Sylvia.
Town manager Frank Rush first proposed the idea last winter, noting that while the Emerald Isle is packed to the gills all sum-mer, and the annual St. Patrick’s Day Festival usually draws 25,000
to 30,000 people to town in mid-March, the business community had often suggested another festival to draw more people to town late in the summer or in the fall.
It was also a popular idea in the town’s 2014 economic devel-opment plan. Residents wanted to see more events on the beach.
By having the event on a stage overlooking the beach, there’s plenty of room for a big crowd, plus many festivalgoers will be able to walk from vacation homes and other rental units.
In his manager’s report at the June 14 town commission meet-ing, Mr. Rush said the new plat-form will also serve as a new ocean viewing area for visitors to the western regional access.
It will be about 500 square feet, less than 30 inches above the ground and will cost about $5,000 to construct.
The site plan for the festival also includes a temporary sand path around the existing handi-
Plans in motion for EI fest capped ramp in order to provide an alternate passage between the beach strand and the restroom and vendor area.
This sand path will be re-veg-
etated after the event and should not compromise the integrity of the dunes in any significant man-ner, the manager added.
Mr. Rush said, parking can be
handled as it is during the St. Patrick’s Festival and Fourth of July fireworks at the pier. Motorists could park on the Highway 58 right-of-way.
