BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES
An artist is trying to commem-orate a piece of Williston’s history with a mosaic mural, and she is looking for community participa-tion.
LaNelle Davis’ mosaic will cap-ture the community spirit involved in the former Willis Brothers Seafood building, also known as “Elmer’s clam house.”
It will honor the work, the community and the people who worked at the clam house.
“A strong image of women sit-ting and working around tables was burned into my mind from trips Down East with my father back in the 1960s,” Ms. Davis said when asked about her inspira-tion for the mosaic. “I had pas-sively been looking for a build-ing for another mosaic when my friend, Barbara Garrity-Blake, told me about the old clam house in Williston being renovated and thought it might work.”
Neither of the women knew who owned the building, but after a little digging, Ms. Garrity-Blake learned Susan Hill, owner of Down East Mariculture, was the woman they were looking for.
“I showed her (Susan Hill) examples of my past mosaic murals and explained my desire to create a mural honoring the work, the people and community that the clam house represented,” Ms. Davis said. “She contacted Nancy Willis Lewis, daughter of Elmer Willis, former owner of Willis Brothers Seafood, and obtained photos from several other sourc-es. One photo obtained was that of four women working at a table. I think Susan and I knew immedi-ately that this was the image to work from for a design.”
Ms. Davis said the process of creating a mosaic mural is long, but rewarding in the end. It starts with the design process and moves to applying the mosaic pieces.
“It requires patience, endur-
ance and is dependent on the weather,” Ms. Davis said. “It all must be accomplished in the time-frame of past the last frost date to the first frost date, otherwise the adhesive and grout won’t cure correctly.”
Ms. Davis said the design pro-cess takes a lot of time because she is old-school in her method. She does not use a computer design program or electric tile cut-ter when creating her mosaics.
“Like my grandmother who used to cut out dress patterns on the floor, I, too, make large paper patterns of the design, always on the floor, because it’s the only place I have that’s big enough,” she said. “I trace those patterns onto the building and begin with an outline of mirror. After that, based on the available materials, I decide which colors are to be used where. I break whatever I have with a hammer and ‘fine tune’ shapes with a hand-held tile nipper.”
Artist to commemorate clam house legacy
The N.C. Council on Developmental Disabilities recognizes March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month to bring attention to the great work being done across the state to promote inclusion and integra-tion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Every March, the coun-cil observes National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month to highlight the many ways in which people
with and without disabilities come together to form strong, diverse communities.
This year, DD Awareness Month covers three main areas, education, employment and community living.
“We are proud to recognize March as DD Awareness Month and bring attention to the incredible contributions across North Carolina of people with I/DD and their families,” said Alex McArthur, chairperson of NCCDD in a recent release.
NCCDD has funded 15 ini-tiatives focused on community living, financial asset develop-ment and advocacy across the state – in line with its five-year plan.
The annual campaign seeks to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with I/DD in all areas of community life, as well as awareness of the barri-ers that people with disabilities still face in connecting within the communities in which they live.
Though Williston’s clam house in particular does not hold a spe-cial place in Ms. Davis’ heart, the industry as a whole means some-thing to her and the community she is trying to capture in her work.
“…Collectively, they all have special meaning to me one, because I remember them so viv-idly as a child ... the busy-ness of it all, the smell, the sound of people talking, the low-slung buildings by the water... and two, because they are no longer a part of the landscape,” Ms. Davis said. “Fish houses/clam houses provided work, income, put food on the table and shoes on the feet of many families over the years. It was a place to work but was also a place where you saw your kin, church and community members. It’s all but gone now.”
Ms. Davis has been working on mosaic pieces since the early 90s. Her hobby started after working with her mentor, Virginia Bullman, a mosaic artist in Chapel Hill.
“I saw some of her work in the early 1990s, asked her to show me how she did it and we ended up creating over 25 larger than life cement ‘ladies’ – all with dresses or aprons of dishes,” Ms. Davis
said. “In 2010, she insisted we go to Philadelphia, Pa., to see some of Isaiah Zagar’s mosaic murals. I was completely awestruck by them.”
After taking a class with Mr. Zagar in 2012, Ms. Davis creat-ed her first mosaic in Pittsboro, but she credits her work to Ms. Bullman.
“Virginia was and still is a guide-post in my life. Without her gen-erosity of spirit, knowledge and wisdom I might have never found this passion of mine,” she said.
Those who worked at the clam house or have family members who worked at the clam house are asked to bring a dish to con-tribute to the mosaic.
The dishes can be dropped off at the clam house, 586 Highway 70, Williston, by Sunday, March 24.
“Please label the box or dish with the family member who worked there and a short remem-brance if desired. At the end of the project a plaque will be installed with those family mem-bers’ names,” Ms. Davis said.
For more information, email Ms. Davis at [email protected] or Ms. Hill at [email protected].

Review: ‘Triple �rontier’ a letdown
Have a Netflix night
BY MEGAN LEWISTWM
When the preview photo on the Netflix app features five tough guys with guns and camouflage, most people would expect a fast-paced, high-action movie.
Don’t judge a Netflix origi-nal by its photo.
“Triple Frontier” will let action fans down at almost every turn, but don’t write it off yet.
For those seeking drama, this movie has it in bagfuls.
The premise is that five former special operations soldiers, unhappy with their retirements from serving the flag, embark on a heist of a drug lord in South America.
However, what’s supposed to be a couple of “victimless” crimes – one armed robbery and one murder of a drug lord – turns into a lot of dead bod-ies.
The joke is on them … and on the audience, who come for the action and discover brooding old men and bags on mules.
The first-third of the movie is spent in “getting to know them” mode.
The final third is in “we regret everything” mode. It’s to each their own whether they regret the 2 hours and 5 minutes they spend watching four grown men try to decide if they’re the good guys or the bad guys.
Ben Affleck’s character Redfly puts it best at two sep-arate points:
“So, the question is: do we finally get to use our skills for our own benefit and actually change something?”
Then, a little later:“You guys need to own the
fact that you are desecrating most of the oaths you ever took.”
Finally, after they all decide to actually undertake their criminal activity, there is a brief period of action when things all go horribly wrong before they begin on a doomed trek of their own making thanks to going for “just one more load” of cash (with Redfly at the lead) .
From left, Garrett Hedlund as Ben, Oscar Isaac as Pope, Ben Affleck as Redfly, Charlie Hunnam as Ironhead and Pedro Pascal as Catfish discuss a heist they are considering. (Melinda Sue Gordon photo courtesy of Netflix)
Few things make a person cackle like a wall full of money, and these guys stumble on a whole house full. They can hardly be blamed for getting greedy.
However, the next thing that makes them cackle is burning some of the heavy load when they realize every $100 they burn is a $100 they don’t have to move.
Except for a few other brief flashes of violence, the rest of the movie is full of pack mules and existential crises as the team discovers they’re not wired to be the real bad guys.
Overall, they all seem to decide they got what they deserved and accept the con-sequences.
Still, the actors do a great job at playing up the drama, so the rated R film might be worth a watch if its audience is pre-pared for a dramatic instead of action-packed movie.
Two stars out of four.

Start with a planEating healthy as a family starts with a
plan involving nutritious ingredients, and one of the easiest ways to incorporate them is through meal prepping.
By organizing recipes and the ingredi-ents you’ll need to make them ahead of time, you’re saving time in the kitchen
and helping ensure your family members won’t go off-course.
Dishes like Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice and Mini Apple Pie Empanadas, ideal for a weekday family dinner and dessert, involve using fresh produce to encourage nutritious eating habits. Plus, because the recipes take little time to assemble and cook, you’ll save yourself more precious moments to spend
at the table with loved ones. These recipes are part of the “Mission
for Nutrition” by Produce for Kids, an effort to raise awareness on the impor-tance of meal planning and preparation to achieve regular healthy family eating together. In addition, partners of the pro-gram will donate 80,000 meals to families in need through Feeding America.

Plants and animals rely on each other for survival. Plants create a habitat and serve as food for animals. Animals help pollinate plants and also serve as food for larger animals. Some plants eat animals.
A new art exhibit in the Spadefish Gallery at the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores highlights the interconnected-ness of native species by exam-ining what they eat.
The collaborative art show “Who’s Eating Whom” depicts the diverse food chains of North Carolina habitats using various media.
Brilliant watercolor, detailed pen and ink and luminous col-ored pencil bring to life the eat-ing structures of the piedmont, mountains, coastal plain and sandhills regions, according to a release.
The three North Carolinian artists who collaborated on this project are Claire Alderks Miller, Rebecca Dotterer and Dale Morgan.
They worked closely with Mike Dunn with the N.C. Botanical Garden to ensure the species and their connections are accurate.
An example food chain is one found in the piedmont region. Ms. Miller uses watercolor and colored pencil to create a flame red cardinal flower. That plant is eaten by a Luna moth, which is eaten by a southern flying squir-rel, both painted in watercolor by Ms. Morgan.
The chain is completed with a barred owl, which eats the squirrel. Ms. Dotterer uses pen and ink and watercolor for the last piece in this series.
Editor’s Note: The N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores joins the state Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and other state organizations to celebrate a centennial of North Carolina Women breaking bar-riers with “She Changed the World.” The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage. American women were granted the right to vote with the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified Aug. 18, 1920, after a 72-year fight by suffragists. Keep an eye out for the aquarium’s series, as well as stories from across the state that recognize women who truly are reshaping the world we live in.
“Choose a job you love, and
you will never have to work a day in your life.” While this saying comes from Confucius, it could easily represent staff at the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.
One member in particular who has found a combination of passions in her employment is Nicole Warren, an educator and bird trainer.
“I am super lucky, because I get to work not only with these amazing animal ambassadors … but I get to work with people every day and teach conserva-tion,” Ms. Warren said in a recent press release.
She added people can help animals all around the world, especially those in their back-yards.
It is not uncommon to see Ms. Warren with a snake draped around her arms or escorting a vulture named Willis down the hall.
“I think my favorite thing about
working here at the aquarium and working with animals is the excitement you see in children’s eyes when they get to see these animals up close for the first time, especially in our free flight shows,” said Ms. Warren, who has worked with animals since she was 8 years old. “Children may see a pelican any day on the beach, but to be just 2 feet away from one and to learn about them up close brings incredible excitement on the kids’ faces. Our hope is that the enthusiasm will translate into lifelong support for efforts to protect pelicans and other animals in the wild.”
The aquarium hosts school children from around the state and also presents animals during outreach visits. Last year, the N.C. Aquarium Society, the aquari-ums’ nonprofit “friends” group, established a program called Aquarium Scholars to offer schol-arships for North Carolina Title One schools to visit an aquarium or have aquarium staff visit the school.
Through this program, Ms. Warren was able to visit her own elementary school, Westfield Elementary School in Pilot Mountain.
“I had the opportunity to go back home to the school that I grew up in, and present pro-grams and take one of our Eastern screech owls,” Ms. Warren said. “This was extremely fulfilling. I was able to have the opportu-nity to inspire passion and show that kids from the mountains can grow up to be biologists and work to save the ocean.”
When it comes to beloved ani-mals, Ms. Warren’s is not what many would consider to be the
cutest or cuddliest, although she might beg to differ.
“My favorite animal to work with is a black vulture named Willis,” Ms. Warren said. “She was an imprint raised by humans from a very young age, and never really learned how to do the bird thing from her bird parents. She is amazing.”
Ms. Warren, who had never worked with birds before the aquarium, explained that she never realized how sharp vul-tures really are.
“Working with Willis has com-pletely changed my perceptions of vultures. They are incredible animals. They are nature’s gar-bage men and super intelligent,” said Ms. Warren, who recently earned her master’s degree in biology from Miami University in Ohio. “She is so fun to work with.”
Ms. Warren’s love for nature runs in the family. Her grandfa-ther was a wildlife refuge man-ager on Bull Island, Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge in Awendaw, S.C.
“I got to spend my summers with him on the island tracking wolves and conducting sea turtle counts. He was introducing or trying to reintroduce red wolves to the island,” said Ms. Warren, who attributes these experienc-es to her own passion. “From a young age, getting to see these animals up close and getting to help the red wolf reintroduction program was really a memorable experience and something I took to heart.”
Ms. Warren explained that it is this personal connection with wildlife and nature that inspired her to do what she does now.

The Carteret County Health Department reminds residents about the importance of making informed food choices and devel-oping healthy eating and physi-cal activity habits during National Nutrition Month.
March is National Nutrition Month and the theme from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics this year is “Eat Right, Live Right, Feel Right.”
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the world’s largest organization of food and nutri-tion professionals, is committed to improving the public’s health and advancing the profession of dietetics through research, educa-tion and advocacy.
“Eating right does not have to be difficult,” Registered Dietitian
and Carteret County Women, Infant, and Children Director Fonda Shipper said in a recent release. “Think about what you want your plate to look like and ask if it is incorporating all the major food groups. Select a mix of lean protein foods, vegetables, whole grains and fruits to enjoy a healthful meal.”
To get started back on the right track, the health department issued the following tips:• Plan meals at least two or three days in advance and pre-pare those meals ahead of time.• Incorporate all the major food groups by selecting lean meats, vegetables, whole grains and fruits.• Cut up vegetables into ready-to-serve portions and refrigerate
to help with healthy snacking.• Plan and prepare ahead to help with keeping food cost down and decrease food waste.
The academy also recom-mends balancing nutritious foods with physical activity most days of the week.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ physical activity guide-lines, adults should participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activ-ity per week, including at least two days of muscle-strengthening activities.
Incorporating nutritious ingre-dients is an easy way to step up mealtime. For example, American Pecans can boost nearly any reci-pe by adding flavor and nutrition.
It’s always a good time to include heart-healthy ingredients on a shopping list. Certified by the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check, American Pecans and their unique mix of unsatu-rated fats, plant sterols, fiber and flavonoids add up to help pro-mote a healthy heart.
In fact, according to the Food and Drug Administration, research suggests but does not prove that eating 1½ ounces of most nuts, such as pecans, each day as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may help reduce your risk of heart disease.
One serving of pecans contains 18 grams unsaturated fat and 2 grams saturated fat.
Boosting the heart-smart punch of your favorite recipes can
be easy with pecans. Whether topping a salad, sprinkling into bread batter or using them as the foundation of a portable snack, there are few things America’s native nut can’t do.
Start the day with a bowl of Banana Pecan Cherry Oatmeal – a comforting, hearty combination that can keep you full for hours.
For a wholesome, on-the-go option perfect for school snacks, desk drawers or an afternoon pick-me-up, try Cherry Pecan Energy Bites. Dried cherries, dates and crunchy pecans combine for an all-natural burst of heart-smart nutrition to help you power through the day.

Rebecca Jones and Kandice Antwine will share personal mes-sages related to the photos and corresponding quotes contained within the pages of Changing Tides at an upcoming event.
The event is from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 23 at Ann Street United Methodist Church’s Eure Building in Beaufort.
There will be a book sign-ing immediately following the shared messages, with books available for purchase for $10. Purchases are cash only.
The quotes within the pages of Changing Tides, written and compiled by Ms. Jones, go hand in hand with photos taken by Ms. Antwine over the span of seven years.
According to the author and
photographer, creative sparks were plentiful as they joined forces resulting in a “one of a kind work” published by Library Partners Press from Wake Forest University.
The natural beauty of the Crystal Coast was all the inspira-tion Ms. Jones needed as she assembled quotes referenc-ing sources from Peter Pan to the Bible, filling in with original words of wisdom written by the author herself.
This same local scenery inspired Ms. Antwine to pur-chase her first camera years ago and continues to captivate her on a daily basis.
“The 48 quotes and corre-sponding photos within the pages of Changing Tides tend to
bring about a range of emotions as they flow from sunrise to sun-set, encouraging the reader to not give up hope and to ‘try just one more time,’” a release on the event reads.
While enjoying the quotes within, one is also taken on a pic-torial tour of the Crystal Coast, Beaufort, New Bern, Harkers Island, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach and other small towns in between.
Changing Tides can be pur-chased at The Next Chapter Books and Art in historic down-town New Bern, Sweet Lilly Ru on Front Street in Beaufort, Coastal Farmhouse in Swansboro and True Vine Christian Book Store in Havelock. The book is also avail-able on Amazon.
Author, photographer to discuss book during event
“All three artists manage to show how energy moves through habitats in really different artis-tic styles,” aquarium exhibits curator Georgia Minnich said in the release. “The aquarium showcases animals and habitats
from the mountains to the sea, and these artists are telling a similar story through art. They show how the relationships between plants and animals are all intertwined.”
The aquarium regularly exhibits unique art and exhibits change quarterly.
The “Who’s Eating Whom”
show will be on display through March and is free with admis-sion or aquarium membership.
The N.C. Aquarium on Roanoke Island will host the show for the month of June.
For more information, see ncaquariums.com/pine-knoll-shores or call 252-247-4003.

New Bern’s history is a story of remarkable strength and resil-ience, and Hurricane Florence cannot rewrite that history.
Friday-Saturday, April 12 and 13 the New Bern Historical Society will celebrate New Bern’s heritage and beauty with a new homes tour featuring some of the finest properties in five historic neighborhoods, down-town, Dryborough, Riverside, DeGraffenried Park and Ghent.
Visitors will be invited to tour 18 historic properties over the two days, including 15 homes – two with renovations in prog-ress – one public building and three gardens.
New Bern Historical Society Executive Director Mickey Miller is excited about showcasing the character and diversity of New Bern’s past.
“New Bern’s charm is not contained to just the down-town,” she said in a recent press release. “We are a ‘com-munity of communities;’ each of our historic neighborhoods has a unique character, a differ-ent story and a distinct sense of place. While many folks are still rebuilding and repair-ing after Florence, New Bern needs this event to celebrate our remarkable ability to move forward.”
Guests are invited to take a break during the tour at the Garden Party Pavilion behind the Attmore-Oliver House.
There participants will enjoy refreshments, live music and visit with historic characters, and all of the fun is a part of the ticket price.
