Aut hor Phil ip Gerard w il l
be t he special guest present-
er at a luncheon organized
and hosted by t he Fr iends
of West ern Car t eret Public
Library on M onday, Oct . 3.
The event w ill t ake place
f rom noon to 3 p.m. at t he
West ern Park Com m unit y
Center, 275 Old Highway 58 in
Cedar Point .
M r. Gerard has a number of
f ict ion and non-f ict ion books
to his credit . His latest , The
Dark of t he Island, has received
except ional reviews f rom read-
ers and fellow authors alike.
The story t akes place on
Hat teras Island as M r. Gerard
weaves together two int r igu-
ing st or ies, seemingly w it h
lit t le in common other t han
locat ion.
Seamlessly blending mod-
ern-day polit ics of of f-shore
dr ill ing w it h a histor ical story
of World War II German sabo-
teurs on t he coast , M r. Gerard
quickly piques t he reader ’s
interest in both.
The dark of t he island what
old-t imers descr ibe as t hose
moonless, star less night s per-
fect for lur ing and loot ing
foundering ships or cover ing
t he t racks of enemy saboteurs,
which makes a good backdrop
for M r. Gerard’s story.
Alt hough he w as born
and reared in Delaware, M r.
Gerard spent some summers
vacat ioning on Hat teras Island
w it h family f r iends.
Af ter high school he spent a
summer wandering t he beach-
es t here and, in his words,
“ playing guit ar at bonf ires
almost every night and meet-
ing all sort of amazing people
… and f igur ing out who I was
to become.”
As Isabel Stout , president
of t he Fr iends of West ern
Carteret Public Library point s
out , “ What M r. Gerard was
t o become is a renow ned
author, a popular and respect-
ed teacher, an accomplished
musician and a very entertain-
ing speaker.”
Current ly M r. Gerard is a
professor and teacher at t he
Universit y of Nort h Carolina in
Wilmington in t he department
of creat ive writ ing, where he
created t he master of f ine art s
program.
His luncheon presentat ion
Award winning author to speak at Friends of Library luncheon event
will reveal more of t he details
of t he path t hat led him to
UNCW and t he fascinat ing sto-
r ies behind The Dark of t he
Island.

BY MARK KENNEDY
ASSOCIATED PRESSFall has off icially just start -
ed, but t here’s st ill one more
superhero f l ick sneaking in
just before all t he summer
heat vanishes completely. But
if you want muscled torsos
and capes, you’ ll be sadly dis-
appointed.
Af ter a steady st ream this
year of Bat man, Superman,
Captain America, X-M en and
even Teenage M utant Ninja
Tur t les, i t ’s t ime now for
a group of kids w ho f loat ,
are invisible, who spark f ire,
manipulat e plant s, cont rol
bees and give life to inanimate
object s. Not really, X-M en
exact ly. Call t hem X-Tweens.
They’re t he unlikely young
heroes and heroines of “ M iss
Peregr ine’s Home for Peculiar
Children,” t he Tim Bur t on-
direct ed 3-D f i lm loosely
based on t he novel of t he
same name by Ransom Riggs.
Sweet , w it h some mind-blow-
ing visual effect s, it ’s t he per-
fect f ilm for your young disaf-
fected mutant f r iends.
Asa But t er f ield (M ar t in
Scorsese’s “ Hugo” ) plays a
young adult w ho st umbles
upon a secret refuge for
supernat urally gif t ed young-
sters hiding in a t ime loop
in 1943. Our hero befr iends
t he myster ious schoolmarm
M iss Peregr ine (a delicious
Eva Green, channel ing a
sexy M ary Poppins by way of
Helena Bonham Carter) and
learns t hat t he children are
in danger f rom ever-grow ing
malevolent forces.
M r. Bur t on is a nat ural
choice to direct : The mate-
r ial already has t hat gloomy,
Vict or ian vibe, a st yl ized
dreamlike qualit y, and a sort
of Got h-punk look, w hich
is cat nip to t he director of
“ Edward Scissorhands.” He
also famously adores misf it s;
here, t he screen is f il led w it h
t hem.
No surpr ise t he job of t urn-
ing t he book into a f ilm was
handed to Jane Goldman, who
is familiar both w it h mutant s
and t he 1940s, having been
t he screenwriter for “ X-M en:
First Class.” A somewhat pon-
derous f irst half leads to a
hard-charging second, f i l led
w it h ingenious f ight -scenes,
glor ious ocean liners and sub-
lime underwater moments.
The f ilm should come w it h
a Harry Pot ter-like warning for
t hose allergic to new whim-
sical vocabulary t erms l ike
“ ymbr ines,” “ Hollow s” and
“ hollowgast s.” But go w it h it .
Your head w ill be in pain soon
enough t rying to make sense
of t he increasingly elaborate
rules of t ime-t ravel and body
shif t ing.
The peculiar children of
t he f ilm ’s t it le are certainly
unique but you can f ind plent y
of other f ilms in t he DNA of
“ M iss Peregr ine’s Home for
Peculiar Children,” part icular ly
skeleton soldiers f rom “Jason
and t he Argonaut s,” t he X-
M en f ranchise for making
f reaks lovable, “ Groundhog
Day” and even t he underap-
preciated Hayden Christensen
f ilm “Jumper,” which also has
t ime shif t ing at it s core and
t he same sort of evil force in
Samuel L. Jackson.
Hyper-st ylized f ilms like M r.
Burton’s usually create st if f
per formances, but Terence
Stamp is grounded as a know-
ing grandfat her and Chr is
O’Dowd is perfect ly oaf ish as a
clueless dad. Other cameos are
by Judi Dench, Allison Janney
and Rupert Everet t (blink and
you miss them). Ella Purnell
is lovely and understated as a
love interest ; she’s buoyant , in
more ways than one.
So st retch your definit ion of
heroes to include, say, a cute
lit t le girl w ith razor-sharp teeth
on the back of her head. “ M iss
Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar
Children” has all the making of
a super franchise – the call of
dest iny, the making of heroes
and the embrace of kinship.
Plus, of course, coming to
terms with your inner freak.
“ M iss Peregr ine’s Home
for Peculiar Children,” a 20 t h
Century Fox release, is rated
PG-13 by t he M ot ion Picture
Associat ion of Amer ica for
“ intense sequences of fantasy
violence and per il.” Running
t ime: 127 minutes. Three stars
out of four.
Review: Wee, weird heroes star in ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home’

SLOW COOKER PORK LOIN WITH VEGETABLES2 pounds pork loinsaltpepper1 large red onion1½ pounds baby potatoes1 pound baby carrots4 garlic cloves, minced1 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter1/3 cup Dijon mustard1/3 cup soy sauce1 cup beef brothPlace large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. (If using regular skillet, add 1 table-
spoon oil.) Season pork loin with salt and pepper, and place in skillet. Sear pork loin on all sides to seal in juices, about 8-10 minutes. Peel onion and cut into large chunks. Cover bottom of large, 6-quart slow cooker with
half the chopped onion, potatoes and carrots.Lay seared pork loin over top and surround with remaining vegetables.In small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, apple butter, mustard, soy sauce and broth.
Pour mixture over pork and vegetables.Cover slow cooker and cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6 hours. Once potatoes are tender, cut tenderloin into thin slices and place on platter, sur-
rounded by vegetables. Taste gravy, and season with salt and pepper, as needed, then pour gravy over pork
and serve.
Feel-good foods for fall
(Content and images provided by Family Features.)
Find more feel-good recipes for fall at musselmans.com.
Apples signature of fall:
Crisp mornings, cozy sweaters and a
craving for comfort foods are all sure signs
that autumn is in the air.
No fall menu is complete without hearty,
home-style dishes that evoke feelings of
well-being and warmth, and there’s no
better way to capture the flavors of fall
than with the season’s signature ingredient
– apples.
Serving up fall’s best feel-good foods
doesn’t have to be hard. One clever solu-
t ion: apple butter. Made from apples slow-
simmered in kett les of sugar, apple cider
and spices, apple butter is more than just
a spread. It ’s also a versatile ingredient that
can enhance any favorite sweet and savory
recipes. Made with American-grown apples
in the classic Pennsylvania Dutch style,
Musselman’s Apple Butter lends a unique
taste to main dishes and desserts alike.
While the one-pot dinner, slow cooker
pork loin, saves t ime on busy fall evenings,
it also boasts a rich, tangy sauce that gets
a special twist from the spice of apple but-
ter. Fall is also the perfect t ime for creating
beloved desserts, and whoopie pie is always
a winning choice. This spiced up version
of the tradit ional favorite draws its flavor
from Musselman’s Apple Butter, with an
old-fashioned taste that is the essence of
comfort food.

BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES
The N.C. Seafood Festival will cel-ebrate its 30th anniversary during this year’s event, which is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 30 – Sunday, Oct. 2.
Thirty years ago when the festival started, the idea was to recognize the importance of seafood to Eastern North Carolina.
According to www.ncseafoodfes-tival.org., the nonprofit organization behind the festival “aims to promote the positive social and economic impact of the seafood industry on the citizens of North Carolina; edu-cate the public about seafood and its importance to the state economy; publicize the wide variety of seafood indigenous to North Carolina and provide the opportunity for people to enjoy it; boost tourism and rec-reation in Eastern North Carolina in the non-summer months; establish a scholarship program for educa-tional pursuits related to the seafood industry; and provide the opportu-nity for North Carolina nonprofit, civic, church and educational orga-nizations to raise funds through par-ticipation in the festival.”
Festival organizers are excited about the upcoming celebration.
“This being a milestone year makes it incredibly special to us,” said Stephanie McIntyre the N.C. Seafood Festival Executive Director. “We are able to look back over 29 years and see how we arrived at the prestigious event. The North Carolina Seafood Festival is one of the largest festivals in North Carolina and it brings with it the distinguished flavor of sharing North Carolina sea-
food with hundreds of thousands of people in three days.”
“It is a tribute to the true patri-ots of the North Carolina Seafood Festival—the past and current board members and the numerous volun-teers and sponsors. They are com-munity at its best,” she continued. “It would take many pages to name them all but it is because of them that this festival is one of the cornerstone events in all of North Carolina.”
The N.C. Seafood Festival draws attention to the seafood industry every year with activities, fun, music and games, and all proceeds raised during the festival are dispersed among participating county non-profit groups.
There will be vendors selling local-ly caught seafood, T-shirts and more. Festivalgoers will be able to enjoy the games and amusement rides and enjoy festival activities like the Flounder Fling.

Each runner’s time will be kept using Race BibTag timing chips. Racers must wear race bib numbers on the front of their shirts and in an easily readable position.
Walkers will not be allowed to enter this race, as it is a running event only.
The race is sponsored by the N.C. Seafood Festival in conjunc-tion with Morehead City Parks and Recreation.
In the 2016 Sailing Regatta Competition, traditional sailing skiffs will start from the beach at 10th Street at noon Sunday and will race through the Morehead City Harbor, into the Turning Basin and to Beaufort.
The finish is on the beach oppo-site the N.C. Maritime Museum, next to the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center.
Participating boats should be on
the beach one hour prior to the start of the race for those that are interested in getting a closer look at the vessels.
Blessing of the FleetOn Sunday, the festival honors
the memory of fishermen who lost their lives at sea, as well as those who spend their days working on the water.
The ceremony starts at 10 a.m. at the N.C. State Port, at 113 Arendell St., Morehead City.
Representing a large part of the county’s heritage, the service is sponsored by the Carteret County Fishermen’s Association and Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative, and com-memorates the seafood and fishing industry that is so vital to the area.
The service tries to provide county residents and visitors an understand-ing of the families of the fishing industry and their way of life.
The service includes prayer, song, responsive reading, scripture read-ing, a morning message and a boat processional.
Boats will line up near the port at the end of the program, and parade by spectators as the vessel’s name and its captain are announced.
A wreath will be tossed from each boat into the Intracoastal Waterway, with the final boat depositing a large wreath to honor fishermen.
Seating and parking are available at the state port and admission is free.
For those unable to attend the service, a live broadcast will be avail-able on WTKF 107.3.

BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES
Each October, as the N.C. Seafood Festival comes to a close, fishermen and their families are honored during the Blessing of the Fleet.
This year’s ceremony is at 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 2, at the N.C. State Port, 113 Arendell St., in Morehead City.
Fishermen spend long, hard days on the water providing a living for their families, and the ceremony draws atten-tion to the work that these men and women provide for their community.
“Every year we gather at the Blessing to honor the men and women who con-tinue to work the water, along with their fathers and grandfathers who went before them,” said Jonathan Robinson, of Atlantic. He is a fisherman, county commis-sioner and member of the Carteret County Fishermen’s Association. “It is a very spe-cial time to those of us who are part of this industry. We hope that somehow this ser-vice will inspire the next gen-eration to hold on to this way of life.
“It’s not easy now, and it
never has been, but fishing is vital to our communities and our state to provider fresh seafood to consumers everywhere,” Mr. Robinson said. “Commercial fishing is an honorable occupation and worthy of our appreciation for their hard work and per-severance.”
The seafood indus-try has a major impact on North Carolina’s economy. Recognizing that importance, the N.C. Seafood Festival pro-motes the positive social and economic impact of the sea-food industry.
Many families in the county
are connected to commercial fishing, some coming from many generations of fisher-men.
Cayton Daniels, 20, of Cedar Island, is part of the next gen-eration of Core Sound water-men.
“I’m at least a sixth gen-eration fishermen. My fam-ily has shrimped, pound net-ted, long-hauled, oystered, crabbed, gill netted for blue fish, sea mullet … anything and everything, that’s what we do,” he explained.
Mr. Daniel’s love of the
Ceremony to honor county fishermen

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!
