FROM THE N.C. MARITIME MUSEUM There’s a long tradition of crafts-
manship in custom boat building in North Carolina. One doesn’t have to look further than Front Street in Beaufort to see where that tradition continues.
The Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center serves as an important eco-nomic force at the N.C. Maritime Museum by showcasing the art and skill of traditional boat building. The museum’s Watercraft Center sits on Taylor’s Creek, across from the museum.
The Harvey W. Watercraft Center carries on the rich boatbuild-ing heritage of the North Carolina coast through wooden boat build-ing courses. These courses bring together participants of all ages from different parts of the country with “a common thread of creativ-ity.”
The Watercraft Center at the N.C. Maritime Museum has three primary missions. • Preservation and Restoration: Preserving significant examples of the state’s watercraft is a key ele-ment in fulfilling the Museum’s mission.• Boat building Demonstrations:
Watercraft Center charts new course in traditional boat building

The Watercraft Center preserves and transmits the heritage of wooden boat building by publicly demonstrating the construction of new boats using traditional tech-niques.• Education: A key Watercraft Center mission is actively teach-ing wooden boat building to new generations.
To meet the mission of the N.C. Maritime Museum, the Watercraft Center offers a num-ber of boat building courses including the Introduction to Wooden Boat Building and the popular Build a-Boat-in-a Day where participants can build a boat in a day with a team of
friends or family members.The fall schedule includes some
new boat building courses never offered before. These include “Build Your Own Skin-on-Frame Boat” and “Build Your Own Stand-up Paddle Board (SUP). These courses are available for all skill levels.
The courses have been devel-oped by the new personnel over-seeing the Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center along with Paul E. Fontenoy, curator of Maritime Research and Technology for the museum.
Grant Caraway, of Swansboro, is the new manager for the Watercraft Center. He graduated
from Swansboro High School in 2001, attended East Carolina University and graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in management of recreation.
Previously, Mr. Caraway worked with the National Park Service, the Rachael Carson

4Did you know that accord-
ing to the NPD Group National Eating Trends database, the aver-age American achieves the rec-ommended dietary guidelines for Americans just seven out of 365 days? Despite what most peo-ple think, preparing delicious, well-balanced meals is attain-able and doesn’t have to cost a small fortune. There are many ways to achieve balanced nutri-tion throughout the day, even when you’re not cooking for a family of four or spending hours in the kitchen.
One solution comes in the form of a tool created by Nestlé called Balance Your Plate. The program provides creative meal plans to encourage more health-ful eating through the use of frozen entrees. These culinary-inspired, nutritionist-approved meals are convenient, affordable and aimed to help consumers meet dietary guidelines.
To generate new balanced meal ideas, Nestlé challenged more than 100 culinary and nutrition professionals to develop recipes that incorporate frozen entrees while keeping taste, health and convenience at the forefront.
Winners include these first place Spinach Artichoke Mini Layered Ravioli Cups (incor-porating Lean Cuisine Ravioli), which mimics a delicious multi-layered lasagna in a fraction of the time. Another entry earning top recognition is this Pizza-nella Salad, which presents a fresh way to enjoy cheese pizza.
Find more recipes and tips for building healthy meals with frozen foods at www.nestleusa.com/balance.

ASSOCIATED PRESSNobody likes a bully –espe-
cially a past victim with a long memory.
Figuring out who’s the bully and who’s the victim is part of the mystery in “The Gift,” a satisfying directorial debut from writer, pro-ducer and actor Joel Edgerton.
While it doesn’t break any new ground, this first feature from STX Entertainment succeeds as an unsettling psychological thriller that might make you want to check the locks on the front door.
Simon (Jason Bateman) and wife Robyn (Rebecca Hall) just moved from Chicago to a picture-perfect house in his hometown of
Los Angeles, where he has a great new job and an impending promo-tion. Simon insists his wife not start working right away so they can focus on starting a family.
While shopping, the couple bumps into Simon’s old high school classmate, Gordo (Mr. Edgerton). Shy and awkward, he re-introduces himself to Simon, who doesn’t recognize him. They exchange pleasantries and innocu-ously part ways.
Suddenly, a bottle of wine appears on the couple’s doorstep, a gift from Gordo, though they hadn’t given him their address. Then he pops by unannounced, ostensibly to be helpful. More spontaneous gifts arrive – he fills their pond with koi – along with a
dinner invitation.To Robyn, Gordo seems lonely.
To Simon, he seems delusional. He remembers they called him “Weirdo” back in high school.
When Simon insists they cut ties, Gordo responds with an omi-nous reference to their shared history, which inspires Robyn to question what happened between them as teenagers.
She becomes the protagonist in the film’s second half, an ama-teur detective investigating her husband’s past. The more she discovers, the more she distrusts him. Gordo doesn’t seem so solid, either.
Along the way there’s a pond of dead fish, a disappearing dog and a scary shower sequence,
with nerves ratcheted to the max with the effective film score by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans.
Mr. Edgerton’s film pays hom-age to the polished, stylized thrill-ers of the 1980s and ‘90s, when things went bad for the Yuppie generation. The sprawling, glass-walled, pond-fronted house where Robyn and Simon live is so gor-geously aspirational that it’s prac-tically a character in the film. Gordo’s class envy is revealed when he tries to outshine their home with his own.
Mr. Edgerton keeps his screen-play timely by his use of bullying as a backdrop. He also makes Robyn an equal to Simon, empow-ered to stand on her own.
The lead performances look effortless, a credit to Mr. Edgerton’s direction. His Gordo is eerily on point as a quiet lurker with a menacing side. Ms. Hall is commanding as a confident yet vulnerable wife, conflicted about the man she married. And Mr. Bateman deliciously plays against type as a manipulative, back-slap-ping executive who will step on anyone to get ahead.
At its conclusion, “The Gift” takes a leap that’s hard to believe, but it doesn’t undo the story’s main theme, which could be summed up as “what happens when you poison other people’s minds with ideas.”
“The Gift” was rated 2 and a half stars out of four.

New Bern Historical Society Curator Jim Hodges and his team were busy at work recently on a new display in the Craven County Regional Airport.
The first of a two-part
installation went in with many artifacts from the Battle of New Bern.
These items provide a time-travel connection to those who were in New Bern over 150 years ago.
New installation at regional airportThe items in the display
are:• A fragment of a shrapnel shell, burst open, so viewers can see the interior.• A large chip cut from a tree two months after the battle. This chip has a bullet still lodged in it. The tree had over 30 bullet holes. • A map drawn one month after the battle showing posi-tions of the troop. • A scale model of a surf-
boat like those used by Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s troops in making their historic amphibi-ous landing at Slocum Creek prior to the battle. The model, built by John Klecker, is on loan.
Jim Hodges, Jan Beijer, Betty Evans, Jane Dagnon and Claudia Houston selected these items from the New Bern Historical Society’s collection of Civil War artifacts.
The society houses a New
Bern Collection dating from the late 18th century into the 20th century. Many items are on display at the Attmore Oliver House at 511 Broad St. where the display is open to the pub-lic.
The second part of the air-port project will be completed by the end of this month.

“We have had a number of peo-ple who want to build boats that are more user friendly,” Mr. White said. “We have had great interest in the new SUP course.”
Mr. White recently moved to Beaufort from the New Jersey shore. He attended the Landing School of Boat Building and Design in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1990.
Mr. White has 25 years of boat building and educational experience in such venues as the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia, Pa., where he served as the director of the “Work Shop on the Water” for eight years.
He oversaw the service depart-ment of the Crockett Bros. Boat Yard in Oxford, Md., and taught classes at the Chesapeake Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md.
Mr. White operated the boat shop at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Conn., for eight years. Most recently, he taught classes and built and restored boats at the Tuckerton Seaport Museum in Tuckerton, N.J., and the Toms River Seaport Museum in Toms River, N.J.
The “Introduction to Wooden Boat Building” is a two-day, hands-on course where students will explore the art of boat build-ing from start to finish.
They begin with the design and lofting of boats and move on to the setup, steam bending and different methods of creating the backbone of small boats.
In addition, they will learn how to make planking systems, both carvel and lap strake and all the appropriate fastening systems.
By the end of the course, stu-dents will have the knowledge and skill to choose a design and style of boat to build on their own and the confidence to take on the job.
The “Build Your Own Skin-
on-Frame Boat” class allows par-ticipants to build their own skin-on-frame, ultra-light boat in the Inuit style.
These versatile and time-test-ed boats can be fashioned in a myriad of styles including the North Alaska Retrieval Kayak, Greenland Style Sea Kayak, Pram Dinghy and Canadian Canoe.
After the frames have been pegged and lashed together from fir and steam-bent white oak frames, the skin of 12-ounce bal-listic nylon is sewn over the frame and coated with either varnish or paint to produce a light, tough and boat.
The “Build Your Own Stand-up Paddle Board” class gives partici-pants the opportunity to build their own Stand-up Paddle Board con-structed from cedar and plywood.
These boards will be custom fit to each student’s size. These are fun to build and fun to paddle. Once the course is over, the build-er will be responsible for varnish-ing or painting their new boards at home.
According to Mr. Caraway, “Stand-up paddle boarding is the fastest-growing board sport because it appeals to a wide range of people.”
One of the more popular cours-es is “Build a-Boat-in-a Day.”
Each participating team assem-bles a prepared kit for a small flat-bottomed plywood boat suitable for paddling. The boat is 12 feet long, 32 inches wide and weighs about 40 pounds.
By the end of the class, each boat will be completed to a water-tight condition. Detail finishing and painting is the responsibil-ity of team members and may not be undertaken in the Watercraft Center.
The boatbuilding courses are held year-round, which helps gen-erate an economic impact to the county as the participants have traveled from Texas, Florida, Iowa Virginia and more in order to stay on The Crystal Coast.
“The participants eat in the local restaurants and stay in nearby inns and B&B’s. Oftentimes they bring other family members to enjoy the local attractions,” said David Cartier, the public relations
coordinator for the N.C. Maritime Museum system.
Mr. Cartier acknowledged that grant money from the Crystal Coast Tourism Development Authority has allowed the muse-um to broaden its reach in attract-ing more people interested in boat building.
The grant has enabled the museum to advertise the boat building courses in Wooden Boat magazine.
“Without their support, we sim-ply would not be able to bring as many people from outside the area to Beaufort,” Mr. Cartier said.
Because the museum offers free admission, there is little opportuni-ty to generate revenue needed for operations and expanded program-ming. “The boatbuilding courses are one of the few opportunities that the museum has to generate revenue,” Mr. Cartier added.
Even if visitors are not building a boat, the viewing platform above the shop floor in the Watercraft Center is a great place for them to watch the boats take shape, from frame to finished product.
The Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center is part of the N.C. Maritime Museum at 315 Front St., Beaufort. For more information about programs offered at the N.C.

12SUDOKUHere’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, bro-ken 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 num-bers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Mr. Freeman shared his recent visit to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans stat-ing that it was a wonderful expe-rience and urged everyone to see it while they were still able to.
