The N.C. Coastal Federation invites members and nonmem-bers to climb onboard covered passenger boat the Lady Swan for the federation’s Coastal Cruise Series.
From 10 a.m. to noon on select Wednesdays, these tours cruise through the estuaries around Swansboro and Bear Island, offering participants “a relaxing and fun-filled morn-ing on the water,” according to a federation press release.
This year’s programs feature marsh and shelling cruises that depart from Hammocks Beach State Park Visitor Center in Swansboro.
Fees for either cruise are $20 for federation members or $25 for nonmembers. All ages are welcome, though the pro-gram is geared toward adults and older children.
Those who enjoy collect-ing seashells and other things while walking on the beach may be interested in the NCCF’s shelling cruise, which federation staff said “will not disappoint.”
Shelling cruises will take place June 10, June 24, July 8 and Aug. 12.
“You will get up close and personal with marine inverte-brates that call these shelled wonders home as you learn all about the shells that can be found on the Crystal Coast,” staff said. “We’ll even stop at Bear Island, one of the best shelling destinations on the coast, to explore the shore and collect shells.”
The federation will also be hosting marsh cruises this summer.
According to federation
staff, these cruises will explore the coastal waters and marsh-es of Hammocks Beach State Park.
Marsh cruises take place June 17, July 1, July 15, July 22, July 29, Aug. 5 and Aug. 19.
“Here, where the rivers meet the sea, we come to nourish our youthful spirit by fishing, sailing, swimming and sometimes, just kicking back and enjoying the ride,” NCCF staff said. “This cruise offers spectacular views of the coastline from a very different perspective. Experience and learn about this vital habitat that is home to hundreds of amazing marine creatures. If conditions are favorable, we may also get to pull a dip and seine net to see first-hand what creatures actually

If summertime brings visions of fresh fruity flavors to mind, remember that what you eat has an impact on the health and beauty of your skin. Choose your fruit wisely and enjoy the bonus benefits of skin-support-ing nutrients and compounds.
Summer is a skin-centric season, when shorter pants and sleeves reveal more, so it’s an ideal time to be mindful of the foods that help give you a beauty boost.
Mango is a beauty fruit, containing more than 20 dif-ferent vitamins and minerals, including several nutrients that stand out when it comes to skin health: vitamin C, vitamin A (or beta carotene) and folate.
Vitamin C supports many different functions in the skin, including collagen formation, regeneration and wound repair. One cup of mango delivers a whopping 100 percent of the daily requirement for this important antioxidant. Vitamin C intake also has been associ-ated with improved appearance of aging skin.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in a study involving 4,025 mid-dle-aged women, researchers found that higher intakes of vitamin C were associated with lower prevalence of wrinkled appearance, dryness associated with aging and skin thinning.
Beta-carotene is an anti-oxidant pigment that the body converts to vitamin A. Mangos deliver 35 percent of the daily vitamin A require-ment in the form of beta-caro-tene. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that lower levels of vitamin A in the diet have been associated with a wrinkled appearance. In addi-tion, a number of studies in the same journal have shown that an elevated intake of carot-enoids, such as beta-carotene, may provide protection from sunlight, lessening sunburn.
Folate supports many dif-ferent processes within the body. One cup of mango con-tains 20 percent of the daily requirements for this B vita-min. A study by researchers from the Department of Cancer Prevention and Control, The University of Arizona Cancer Center and Dermatology Professionals Incorporated, suggests that some of these may have an important impact on the maintenance and func-tion of healthy skin and that
Surprising beauty benefits of mangos given
exposure to UV radiation can break down folate, resulting in lower levels in the skin.
The distinctive flavor of fresh mangos makes them the perfect ingredient for a sum-mer beauty boost. With a burst of nutrients, vivid color and taste of the tropics, they are ideal for salads, yogurt, grilled meats, side dishes and drinks.

BY LINDSEY BAHR
ASSOCIATED PRESSCameron Crowe loves a
good failure story, and spe-cifically what happens after a disastrous fall from the top. If Crowe were a character in his own film, the fiasco of “Aloha,” and nearly all of his post-“Almost Famous” mov-ies, would provide the perfect intro.
Unfortunately, “Aloha” is not part of some larger redemp-tion narrative for Crowe (at least not yet). It’s just another fascinating mess from an ear-nest and occasionally excellent filmmaker who can’t seem to recreate the enveloping magic and charm of his earlier films. It’s an unfair standard for anyone, but it’s hard not to hope for the best from Crowe, even if his past few films have taught us otherwise.
“Aloha” was cut off at its knees from the start as one
of the unwitting victims of criticism from sharp-toothed executives in last year’s Sony hack, leaving Crowe fans won-dering just how bad the film could be. After all, he had a charming, of-the-moment cast, a compelling-on-paper story about a man reconnecting with a longtime ex while also fall-ing for a pretty young thing and an idyllic location to work with.
And yet in execution, “Aloha” is a meandering, needlessly confusing cacoph-ony of story, performance, and spiritual blather. Not only does it feel inauthentic, it’s often downright alien.
The story, briefly, is about the once idealistic Brian (Bradley Cooper) who sold his soul to a military contrac-tor (a nearly comatose Bill Murray) and has returned to Hawaii for a job. There, he’s forced to revisit his failed rela-tionship with Tracy (Rachel
McAdams), who’s since had two kids and married a man of few words (John Krasinski). He’s also been tethered to the bizarre Air Force pilot/poten-tial love interest Allison Ng (Emma Stone).
How something that straight-forward goes astray is a bit of a mystery. Crowe packs every moment with so many words, but very little coherent infor-mation. The discomfort of not knowing what’s going on rots the overall experience, espe-cially when the odd satellite defense subplot takes over. It sometimes feels like half the movie is missing.
At one point, probably 30 minutes in, Brian and Ng are together, going somewhere. The two characters talk and bicker at rapid speed. But they’re not really talking to each other, at least in the way that any human might under-stand conversation to work with another human. It’s all
cute turns of phrase and non-sequiturs. By the time they get to their destination— a settle-ment of native Hawaiians who want sovereignty— you’ve fully forgotten, or perhaps never understood, why exactly they are there. And it only gets more jumbled.
Part of the problem is Ng. Crowe has a knack for writ-ing good female characters — Tracy comes pretty close — but the childlike Ng is not a person who has or will ever exist. The usually wonderful Stone, in a rare misstep, is lost here as the one-quarter Hawaiian F-22 pilot who calls Brian ‘sir’ even after they’ve started to fall for each other. She speaks in a clipped, grat-ing staccato that’s only ever softened when waxing poetic about her Hawaiian heritage and the spirituality of a clear sky. Her quirks are meant to charm. Unfortunately, they have the opposite. There
are some lovely moments of humor and depth that do succeed — including a long-lead joke that is used to bril-liant effect in one of the final scenes. McAdams and Cooper also have wonderful chemistry and a deeply felt wistfulness over their romantic past.
Their scenes together are the film’s rare bright spot and a reminder of Crowe’s unique strength as an idiosyncratic voice.
It’s not enough, though. “Aloha” either needed more focus or more time to say what it wanted to say. But per-haps this is the earnest failure Crowe needs to get back in gear.
“Aloha,” a Sony Pictures release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some language including suggestive com-ments.” Running time: 105 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

NEWS-TIMESOrganizers of Pine Knoll
Shore’s eighth annual Kayak for the Warriors hope to raise $100,000 for Hope for the Warriors this year, a nonprofit organization that supports ser-vicemen who were wounded or killed in the line of duty.
That’s $20,000 more than last year, which was a record so far in the event’s history. But organizers are confident they can meet the challenge.
A wide variety of options that appeal to everyone are offered this year.
The main event will be held Saturday, June 6, and will feature a 3.2-mile kayak and paddleboard race through the town’s canals and the Intracoastal Waterway.
There will also be a 5K and 10K bike ride earlier that day.
Those who wish to partici-pate can pre-register online at www.k4tw.org or up until the morning of the specific event they wish to join.
“I would just encourage everyone to come on out,” said Sam Scudder, organizer of this year’s kayak race. “We’ve got everything from fun bicycle races to fun kayak races to a competitive kayak race.”
“It’s just a great small town atmosphere and it’s a great
time to get up close with the military involved. It’s a fun morning,” he continued.
Wounded Warriors from Camp Lejeune will once again participate in the signature kayak race, according to Mr. Scudder. “I think it puts a name to the charity. It really does,” he said.
“We all know about the warriors, about the wounded warriors, but it puts a face on the cause for us,” he added.
Mr. Scudder said around 300 volunteers come together from Pine Knoll Shores and neighboring communities to organize the event.
It is a town-wide effort to organize it, a fact that Mr. Scudder attests to everyone’s willingness to help out. “I’m pretty sure everyone living in Pine Knoll Shores is living there because they want to and that makes a difference in the community,” he said.
This year’s event was expanded to include a military challenge 5K along the beach strand at Beacon’s Reach. That event was held May 30.
The Warriors Reception and live and silent auction was held at the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores on June 4.
The following events are Saturday, June 6:• 5K and 10K bike rides: Begins at McNeill Park at
Kayak for the Warriors main event set for June 6
8:30 a.m. Participants must arrive by 8 a.m. to register and a $15 registration fee per person includes lunch. • Kayak and paddleboard race: Race begins at 10 a.m. at Garner Park. A $45 registra-tion fee per person includes a T-shirt and lunch and partici-
pants must register by 9 a.m. and be present for the 9:30 a.m. safety briefing. Tandem kayaks are allowed.• Family Fun Race: Any pad-dle-worthy vessel can be used to participate in this race at 10:30 a.m. A $15 registration fee per person also includes
lunch. Children age 10 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. Participants of this race can purchase an event T-shirt for the special price of $15. Anyone who raises more than $50 in sponsorship money will be awarded a free T-shirt.
Paddlers push through the start of the race during a past Kayak for the Warriors event in the Intracoastal Waterway. This year’s race will start 10 a.m. Saturday, June 6, at the same location. (Dylan Ray photo)

NEWS-TIMESJohn F. Blair Publisher contin-
ues its Real Voices, Real History series with Voices from the Outer Banks: A Collection of Personal Accounts. Stephen Kirk, edi-tor of the book, will be doing a book signing from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 1, at Books to be Red, 34 School Road in Ocracoke.
This volume presents the words of the people who lived on the Outer Banks, a chain of barrier islands stretching from the Virginia border south through Cape Lookout.
Included in the collection are firsthand accounts – articles, diary entries, blog posts and more – edit-ed by Stephen Kirk, a longtime editor for John F. Blair Publisher.
Outer Banks residents, tour-ists and history buffs can enjoy contemporary accounts of the ini-tial British settlement in North America and the birth of the first English child on American soil. They’ll read 18th century letters, articles and poems about the bloody death of Blackbeard, argu-ably the most famous of all pirates. They can also read a news account of the earliest powered airplane flights in human history, the edi-torial that created America’s first national seashore and the words of family members who once inhab-ited the nation’s most iconic light-house.
Topics in the book include
“The Graveyard of the Atlantic,” a nod to the rough waters that, over the centuries, have claimed hundreds of vessels. Also includ-ed is “Torpedo Junction,” the site where the “Great American Turkey Shoot,” took place. The “Great American Turkey Shoot” is the nickname given by German submariners during World War II for a period of attacks in “Torpedo Junction.”
The volume includes first-per-son accounts of Civil War battles, a freedmen’s colony, hunt clubs that drew wealthy tourists and lifesav-ers who used horses to pull surf-boats to the water and fired lines by cannon to wrecked vessels. Readers will even see contempo-rary stories of the Boy Scout troop that rode ponies descended from ancient shipwrecked animals.
Voices from the Outer Banks: A Collection of Personal Accounts pulls together threads from over the centuries to create a diverse look at one of the nation’s most beloved and historic stretches of coast.
Mr. Kirk grew up in Geneva, N.Y. He holds a bachelor’s degree from St. Lawrence University and a master’s from UNC-Greensboro. He worked for Waldenbooks in Wilmington before starting as edi-tor for John F. Blair Publisher in 1988.
His previous books are First in Flight: The Wright Brothers in North Carolina and Scribblers: Stalking the Authors of Appalachia. He also contributed to the fourth
edition of Travel North Carolina and to Sports in the Carolinas.
First in Flight has been trans-lated into Spanish, was used as a source for a documentary that aired nationally on PBS and has been stocked at venues including the Smithsonian National Air and Space museum. His fiction has been reprinted in Best American Short Stories.
Thanks to a suggestion from a fellow employee at Blair, Mr. Kirk started research for Voices from the Outer Banks: A Collection of Personal Accounts, working from his expansive knowledge of the area that comes from his experi-ence editing books on the topic over the years. Knowing the area and its history meant he was aware he’d have to choose his highlights carefully.
“The Outer Banks is more history-rich than any other place its size I can think of,” he said. “It’s the site of the Lost Colony, the death site of Blackbeard, the site of the world’s first powered flights, the site of Civil War battles and World War II action, the site of the nation’s first national seashore and most famous lighthouse. It’s America’s most hurricane-prone place except for Florida – all of this, and more, in an area smaller than an average North Carolina county. The book breaks that rich history down to manageable size and seeks to hit the high notes.”
For more information on the book signing, call 252-928-3936 or visit www.bookstobered.com.

local chefs and winemakers all contributed to the success of this organization and we plan to build on that success throughout the year,” says Lindsay Parker, Beaufort Wine & Food executive director.
Beaufort Wine & Food is next serving a taste of Italy during the “All Things Italian” al fres-co dinner and bocce tournament Saturday, July 18, at the Beaufort East Village site, between Front Street and Lennoxville Road.

Also returning to the lineup of events is Beaufort Wine & Food’s Oyster Roast, which takes place Saturday, Nov. 14, on the north end
of Beaufort East Village. Beaufort Wine & Food will also hold a handful of Members Appreciation events throughout the year.

This month the Cassie Howe Algeo Gallery will feature some colorful paintings in an array of mediums by two local artists: Rose Valente and Linda Anderson.
Living near Hammocks Beach on the Intracoastal Waterway has
inspired Ms. Valente’s imagina-tion. Nature has constructed a win-dow for her to the “living sea.” Ms. Valente moved from Ohio to the Crystal Coast where she met her husband, Joe, and perused her love of the arts.
Hospital displays local art this monthMs. Valente paints in water-
color, acrylics, pen and ink, pastels and oil. She paints anything that pertains to her love of nature: ani-mals, seascapes, sunsets, flowers, clouds, beautiful landscapes and electrifying storms. Entering shows in North Carolina, Ms. Valente has won many awards for her pastels, oil and watercolors. More of her work can be seen at her home stu-dio and in private collections.
Commercial fishing and boat building were central to the lives of Ms. Anderson and her husband while they lived along the coast of Long Island, N.Y.
After moving to Emerald Isle in 1987, Ms. Anderson’s love for the coastal environment continued to inspire her in her paintings. She started her experiment in art in 1999. With no formal training, she has taken art workshops and weekly classes for a few years then continued to experiment on her own. Since then many boat portraits, people portraits, coastal scenes, animals and wildlife have crossed her canvases and papers.
Ms. Anderson paints in water-color, pastels, oil and acrylics;
however, she considers pastels her medium of choice. She has won awards for her work in pastels and acrylics.

HARKERS ISLAND — The National Park Service at Cape Lookout National Seashore has announced this year’s evening climbs of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
This opportunity will be offered on select dates near the full moon during June, July, August, September and October. Visitors are advised to bring their own flashlights and “experience the island and the lighthouse as the keepers did, in the dark of night.”

Members of the Carteret County Extension and Community Association will be selling the cakes made famous by the late Alice Laughton from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturdays at the Curb Market.
Ms. Laughton was known as the “Cake Lady.” According to N.C. Folklife Institute writer David Cecelski, during World War II, the late Mrs. Laughton “had plenty of fresh eggs, milk and butter on her family’s farm and devoted her ration coupons to buying sugar to make her deli-cious cakes.”
At the curb market, legend has it that she once sold 70 in one morning. Her most popu-lar cake was mentioned as a Lemon Jelly Cake made from a recipe inherited from her

Julia Vradelis and Allison Worrell, both from Morehead City, return home after a whirl-wind year to do a book signing at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 6, at Dee Gee’s Gift & Books on the city’s waterfront.
They have developed their own line of muffin pans and will introduce them, as well.
The women have been all over the country doing sign-ings and some morning shows to promote their book, Muffin Meals, and donate to various Hospice organizations.
“We’re happy to be home,” says Ms. Vradelis, “because any local sales help benefit our own Crystal Coast Hospice House. Dee Gee’s was one of the first places to have us, and we are happy to be part of Mimosa’s and Muffin Meals.”
During the event there will be samples from the cookbook along with mimosas.
Muffin Meals was written with busy moms in mind. The idea of the cookbook is to pro-vide innovative, easy-to-make meals in a muffin pan. They also offer portion control sim-ply by being made in a muffin pan. It includes recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even holidays.
Local authors to host book signing at Dee Gee’s in Morehead City
“Every recipe has a photo, because I personally won’t even try a recipe without knowing what it is supposed
to look like,” said Ms. Worrell, “and we took the photos our-selves so they are realistic and easy to do.”
Muffin Meals and bakeware will be sold at the book signing on Saturday, June 6. (Contributed photo)
“The book is really tak-ing off,” said Ms. Vradelis,
“and since people love to give the book paired with a muffin pan, we decided to develop our own bakeware. Our pans, like our cookbook, bring a modern twist to the old standards,” Ms. Worrell added, “so it was the next step for us.”
The new line of muffin pans are available in small, regular and the jumbo size and will also be available at gift stores throughout the Southeast, including Dee Gee’s, Ginny Gordan’s, Salt Marsh Cottage and Gloria’s Hallmark, among others. The pans are color-ful, non-stick and dishwasher safe. Muffin Meals products are currently in nine states in the Southeast and they hope to be nationwide by the end of the summer.
“It makes a great gift when paired together and we are developing new products to add to our line,” Ms. Vradelis adds.
In addition to new bake-ware, the authors are working on their second book, which will be entitled Muffin Meals and Memories due to be out before Christmas this year.
For more information on the book signing, call 726-3314.

The free summer concert series offered by the Friends of Fort Macon is back for its 18th season through September.
Concerts are held on Fridays from 7-8 p.m. inside the fort.
The Carteret Sunshine Band opened the season May 29, and the next concert is Friday, June. 12, with Unknown Tongues, a Cajun and Zydeco group.
Historic Fort Macon’s sally port doors open early for pic-nickers and those who want to take in the setting. Guests are reminded that alcohol and pets are not allowed in the fort.
The season will also feature the following musical groups, • June 26: Scearce and Ketner, an acoustic duo that plays songs of the coast.• July 10: Wild Honey, a coun-try and folk group.• July 17: The Morehead Brass Consortium with their blend of pops and show music.• July 31: 4EverAll, who will perform “six decades of your favorites.”• Aug. 7: Samantha Casey and the Bluegrass Jam, who play a mix of traditional, original and gospel bluegrass.
The shows are just part of what Fort Macon State Park has to offer. There are over 425 acres of beaches, nature walks through
the dunes, fishing and swim-ming. At the fort, there are four guided tours daily and many other activities all through the year.
The walkway into the fort takes guests by the Coastal Education and Visitor Center – experience the exhibits and award-winning film on the fort’s history.
The latest project is a 1.5-mile walking or jogging path through the park that goes to the beach facilities and circles back to the visitor center.
There are several cannons on display, and each Wednesday at 4 p.m. through the summer, volun-teer Coast Guard members will fire one of the 32-pound cannons in a reprise of an “evening gun ceremony,” which was a tradi-tion at old forts to signify the end of the workday. This is just one of many activities designed to entertain and educate visitors about the historic site.
Fort Macon State Park is at the end of East Fort Macon Road in Atlantic Beach. Call the park at 726-3775 for more informa-tion, or call 354-5259 for more information about the concerts.
Parker Buick GMC and Parker Honda, of Morehead City, are sponsors of this year’s concert series.

NEWS-TIMESA new exhibit, “Venom- See
Beyond the Danger,” highlights several poisonous and venomous animals at the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores this summer.
The exhibit had a soft opening May 23, but it will not be com-plete for at least another week, as some of the animals have not arrived or their displays are not ready, according to aquarium staff.
Once finished, there will be around a dozen exhibits that incorporate some familiar ani-mals at the aquarium, like sting-rays and lionfish, as well as some new creatures, like poison dart frogs and scorpions.
The exhibit is important because it gives visitors some-thing new to expect at the aquar-ium this summer and teaches the public about the difference between poisonous animals and venomous ones, said aquar-ium director Michael “Hap” Fatzinger.
“Poison is ingested; venom in injected,” he said.
He noted that people often confuse the two and said this exhibit will help show the differ-ence using graphic boards that have facts about each animal on display.
“There is a lot of benefit to those animals, so we’re just try-ing to dispel some of those myths and rumors and provide a little bit more sound conservation message about the importance of these animals to the ecosystem,” said Mr. Fatzinger.
Mr. Fatzinger noted that because not everyone is fully educated on which snakes are venomous, some people auto-matically kill a snake when they see it without knowing if it is harmless or not. Aquarium staff members hope the Venom exhib-it will help teach people which snakes are venomous.
“It is amazing to me the mis-conceptions about snakes and wanting to kill every snake you see,” said Mr. Fatzinger. “You want to kill every snake you see
because you don’t know the dif-ference between a harmful snake and a non-harmful snake,” he said. As a parent, he said he can understand wanting to pro-tect children from wild animals that may be dangerous. However, parents should be educated on which animals could be harmful.
As a part of the exhibit, the outdoor snake exhibit, located along the marsh boardwalk, has been expanded to include several new species.
At an indoor exhibit of poi-son dart frogs, the graphic board shows how poison is being used in medical research.
“Dart frogs have skin alkaloids, which produce unique effects on nerves and muscles,” according to a graphic board above the display of five brightly colored dart frogs. It said biomedical researchers are looking at how the toxins may help certain diseases and disor-ders in humans.
Visitors will receive a map with the various Venom exhibits highlighted when they enter the aquarium. On the back of the
Venom exhibit debuts at aquarium
map are a variety of children’s activities related to the exhibit.
The Venom exhibit is free with standard admission or member-ship.
Admission costs $10.95 for those ages 13 to 61, $9.95 for
military members and those ages 62 and up, and $8.95 for those 3-12. It is free for those 2 and younger. N.C. aquarium mem-bers get in for free.
The N.C. Aquarium is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
