A woman vs. nature tale for the #MeToo era in ‘Adrift’(AP photo)
BY JOCELYN NOVECK ASSOCIATED PRESS
Woman vs. nature. It cer-tainly has a ring to it, especially when woman wins. But there are too few such stories in our popular culture, and certainly on our movie screens.
Enter “Adrift,” based on the harrowing, real-life story of Tami Oldham, who sailed off on a romantic voyage from Tahiti to San Diego in 1983 with her fian-cé, Richard Sharp, and ran into a brutal hurricane. Ms. Oldham wrote of the ordeal – 41 days on the open seas in a damaged 44-foot sailboat – in her book, Red Sky in Mourning, and if you haven’t read it yet, good: Stop Googling and see the film first. You’ll be glad you didn’t know all the details beforehand.
Off the bat, “Adrift,” by Icelandic action director Baltasar Kormakur (“Everest”), has sev-eral things going for it. First of all, Mr. Kormakur is a lifelong sailor, and he chose to film on the open ocean off Fiji, lend-ing the proceedings an obvious
visual urgency. Second, the story is simple and thrilling – because it’s true. And third, Shailene Woodley, one of the most natu-ralistic young actresses working today, is hard not to root for in any film, and certainly here as Tami, a relaxed California girl suddenly caught in an elemen-tal battle to survive.
Where the film could do better is in painting the char-acters with nuance and com-plexity. This is less necessary in the scenes on water – we have all the excitement we need there. But the scenes on land seem rather perfunctory, if still pleasing and romantic (noth-ing wrong with watching two attractive, tanned young people fall in love.)
We begin with Tami waking up after an obvious catastrophe, the boat practically destroyed. Stumbling around the wreck-age, she comes to the devastat-ing realization that Richard (Sam Claflin), the more experienced sailor of the two, is nowhere to be seen.
Flashback to five months ear-lier, when Tami arrives in Tahiti, a 23-year-old free spirit with no clear life plans. All she wants to do is see the world. She gets an odd job at the marina, where one day she meets Richard, a handsome young Brit who built his own boat and spends his life sailing.
These two good-looking crea-tures are immediately drawn to each other, and spend idyllic days sailing, cooking and drink-ing wine. Staring at the crimson sky one day, Tami proclaims it to be red. Richard quickly corrects her: Its “beet-dyed pomegran-ate,” OK, we get why she’s fall-ing in love.
Then an irresistible oppor-tunity arises: An older couple wants Richard to sail their boat back from Tahiti to San Diego. The terms are too attractive to pass up. Tami overcomes her initial reluctance to cut short her own, independent journey, and they head off into the deep blue.
And then disaster strikes,
and suddenly these exceedingly capable people seem helpless against the ferocity of nature. At the worst moment, Richard fastens himself in, and shouts to Tami through the raging winds to go down below, where she’ll be safer.
The action toggles back and forth between happy scenes on land, and the ordeal at sea, which show Tami figuring out a way to stop the boat from sink-ing, then pulling a badly injured Richard from the waters and caring for his wounds while she tries to navigate, using nautical maps and her own desperate creativity. The land scenes pro-vide some intermittent relief; on the other hand, they do stall the suspense.
The couple’s risky goal is to reach Hawaii, and Tami knows that if she makes an error, they’ll die. She also must fig-ure out how to ration the fresh water and meagre food sup-plies, which consist of sardines, some Spam and a jar of peanut butter. A committed vegetarian,
she must cope with the reality that if she can’t kill and eat fish, she probably won’t make it.
Ms. Woodley’s honest, unfussy performance seems per-fectly tailored to the script by Aaron Kandell, Jordan Kandell and David Branson Smith. Mr. Claflin makes Richard a dashing, sensitive romantic partner. The story is not complicated – nor does it need to be. Woman vs. sea. Woman triumphs. An apt story for 2018.
“Adrift,” an STX Entertainment release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America “for injury images, peril, language, brief drug use, partial nudity and thematic elements.” Running time: 120 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

|18Smart ways to fuel kids this summerSmart ways to fuel kids this summer
Parents may be wondering how to ensure their children are staying hydrated, maintaining healthy diets and getting the nutrients they need during the summer months.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the reality is one out of two kids ages 9 and up are missing out on key nutrients like calcium, vitamin D and potassium –putting them at risk for serious health issues.
Pediatrician and best-selling author Dr. Tanya Altmann suggests moms can help fill that gap by making sure kids fuel their bodies with proper nutri-tion. Milk is the top food source for calcium, vitamin D and potassium, and Dr. Altmann encourages moms to serve milk at most meals and water in between to ensure kids get the recommended servings of milk, depending on age group, throughout the day.
“Milk is a simple way to help give kids of all ages nutrients they need to grow strong, and they already love it,” Dr. Altmann said. “Pour a glass of milk along-side your kid’s favorite snack or use milk in a smoothie or oatmeal for breakfast.”
This summer, try a twist on a classic, kid-approved lunch - for breakfast. These Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancake Dippers combine two favorite flavors, a pea-nut butter pancake with a jelly dip, for a simple recipe the whole family is sure to enjoy eating. Pair with an 8-ounce glass of milk for nine essential nutrients to fuel summer mornings.
For more nutritious, kid-approved recipes to pair with a glass of milk, visit pourmoremilk.com.
Pediatrician-approved solutions with essential nutrients
Servings: 5 (2 pancake dippers per serving)¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats½ cup whole-wheat flour¼ cup all-purpose flour¼ teaspoon salt2 teaspoons brown sugar, packed1 teaspoon baking powder1 large egg1 tablespoon vegetable oil4 tablespoons reduced-fat creamy peanut butter1 cup fat-free milknonstick cooking spray1/3 cup sugar-free raspberry preserves, for dipping1 glass (8 ounces) fat-free milkIn blender, combine oats and flours and pulse 3-4
times. Add salt, brown sugar, baking powder, egg, veg-etable oil, peanut butter and 1 cup milk. Pulse several times until combined and no lumps in batter.
Heat nonstick skillet to medium-low heat and lightly grease with cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup batter onto skillet, cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear around edges then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden. Immediately roll up pancake and secure with toothpick. Repeat process with remaining batter.

The workshops will be held Wednesday-Friday, June 13-15, at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island.
“We are so excited to have this opportunity to offer a full two-day workshop in a beau-tiful location with one of the East Coast’s finest carver-art-ists, Brother Gaskill,” said Karen Amspacher, executive direc-tor of the museum. “We have watched carver-artists from other regions offer classes like this, and we know what a pow-erful experience it can be for everyone involved. We are hop-ing this will be just the first of many workshops in the future.”
The schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, June 13Noon: Welcome.1:30 p.m.: Session 1.5:30 p.m.: Dinner.7 p.m.: Presentation.
Thursday, June 148:30 a.m.: Breakfast.9:30 a.m.: Session 2.Noon: Lunch.1 p.m.: Session 3.5:30 p.m.: Dinner.
Friday, June 158 a.m.: Breakfast9 a.m.: Session 4.Noon: Departure.
The workshop is suitable for beginning to advanced students. Those participating must bring their own brushes and paints of their choice. They may also bring an air brush if they would like.
Students will take home a shorebird or foam wood duck
silhouette decoy.According to Mr. Gaskill, the
workshop will be a chance for students to have their questions answered.
“(I) will demonstrate some texturing, color blending and dry brushing techniques that took me 20 years of trial and error to figure out,” he said. “… hopefully you will leave with what you need to further your painting endeavors.”
Participation is limited to six in-residence students and six non-resident students.
The cost for residence with accommodations (three days and two nights) and meals is
$350. The cost for days only, with meals included, is $250.
Those at the museum are looking forward to the work-shops.
“Brother is an excellent teacher, no matter if you are a young child visiting the museum for the first time or an experi-enced carver,” said Pam Morris, workshop coordinator. “Brother has the patience and expertise to provide a meaningful experi-ence for all participants.”

Blackbeard to be center of attention during dinner partyattention during dinner party
The notorious pirate Blackbeard was probably not one for fancy dinner parties during his short, violent pirate career 300 years ago.
Blackbeard, however, will come alive again for a group of dinner guests at the N.C. Maritime Museum Friday, June 8.
The dinner will feature per-formance artist Joey Madia. A versatile actor, director and play-wright, Mr. Madia will present a light-hearted dramatization in which he takes the role of a Beaufort man named Angus “Quill” MacGregor, who sailed with Blackbeard, also known as Edward Thache, during his buc-caneering heyday.
Assisting in full pirate dress will be the popular local Blackbeard impersonator, Carl Cannon Jr. and Beaufort’s own Capt. Horatio Sinbad, in full regalia, will be on hand, as well.
The party will begin at 6 p.m. with a cocktail hour, followed by a seated dinner at 7 p.m., during which Mr. Madia will entertain. The evening will conclude with dessert on the museum terrace and a sunset cannon at 8:30 p.m.
In his portrayal, Mr. Madia tells what he considers to be the “real” Blackbeard story in con-trast to the mixture of fact and myth that makes up the popular image of Mr. Thache.
Mr. MacGregor will offer the untold story from the pirate’s point of view, with heavy empha-sis on the corrupt motives of the governors of North Carolina and
Joe Madia will present a dramatization about the notorious pirate Blackbeard during a dinner party at the N.C. Maritime Museum. The dinner is Friday, June 8. (Contributed photo)
Virginia and the British Royal Navy.
Mr. Madia has had a rich and varied career, including writing, directing or acting in 125 plays and a dozen film projects.
His specialty is historical theater and participatory plays for school children. He is a Chautauqua Scholar for Voices from the Earth, which provides “symposia and performances on the African-American experi-ence in the Civil War.”
He is creative director at Port City Tour Co. and founding artistic director of Seven Stories Theatre Co. In 2019, he will tour with the Oklahoma Chautauqua in the role of Ernesto “Che” Guevera.

The marlins have arrived at Harborside Condos
Born from a desire to beau-tify the Harborside community, the Harborside Beautification Committee came up with the idea to have Marlin sculptures placed outside the building.
The decision was made not only because Morehead City is a marina complex, but also because the Big Rock tourna-ment draws hundreds of visi-tors to the area each year.
“Their mascot seemed to be the perfect choice,” said Judy
Dickinson, Harborside com-munity chairman and board of directors liason.
Ray Schueller, weld-ing instructor at Carteret Community College, brought samples of his work to show the committee, and they were “hooked.”
The marlins are now mount-ed in river rock outside the handicapped parking areas at Harborside.
One of the residents, Daniel
Evans, is having a lift installed for his boat and has decided to go with a marlin outline on his catwalk rail.
Also, to continue with the marlin theme, artist in resi-dence Kay Cummings has paint-ed a fish picture for the main lobby, staged several lobby and conference room areas and is currently working on more of her ideas, a marlin and a seahorse painting, and other paintings of sea dwellers.
This marlin statue, by Ray Schueller, can be seen outside of the Harborside Condominiums in Morehead City. (Contributed photo)

Organizations collaborate to preserve Portsmouth Villagepreserve Portsmouth Village
Cape Lookout National Seashore sponsored The University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Historic Preservation Field School for the first time in the Portsmouth Historic District this month.
The work, which took place May 14-24, involved cleaning, repairing, repointing and identi-fying further priorities to ensure needed preservation work at Portsmouth Village continues.
UNCG’s field school provid-ed students the opportunity to hone their skills and their work will help protect the remote Outer Banks village.
The national seashore’s maintenance team hosted and provided support for the four undergraduate and six gradu-ate students of the field school from the UNCG Department of Interior Architecture, instructed by Jo Leimenstoll, professor and director of graduate study, along with historic preserva-tion contractors from Ruedrich Restorations, which is owned and operated by Dean Ruedrich.
Together, they completed a significant amount of work in and around the village in a short amount of time.
The completed preservation work list includes: • Repointed brick piers under the foundation of the historic Methodist church.• Reassembled two broken gravestones lying on the ground at Grace Cemetery.• Completed preservation efforts on several other grave markers at Grace Cemetery.• Repaired the roof, siding and windows of the Roy Robinson house. • Assessed the conditions of four more buildings to identify the priorities for their repair and maintenance in the future. • Assessed the community cemetery for future preserva-tion work.
The National Park Service invited the class members who were enrolled in field methods in preservation technology at UNCG, to partner with them and restoration craftspeople, for two weeks of the three-week long field school.
The course offers a unique model for providing out-of-the-classroom experience and opportunities for building con-nections beyond the Greensboro campus through community engagement.
Cape Lookout Superintendent Jeff West said he was pleased with the work the students com-pleted.
“It is outstanding, real first- class work,” Mr. West said. “It goes hand-in-hand with a lot of the other work we’ve got out there too.”
As well as the work the stu-dents completed, other renova-tion projects are forthcoming at Portsmouth Village.
Renovation projects include repainting the inside and out-side of the church, repainting the inside of the life saving sta-tion and repairing its boat room doors and replacing the roof of the Styron-Bragg house.
Portsmouth Island, which includes the National Register Portsmouth Historic District, is on the northern end of the Cape Lookout National Seashore boundary.
Ferry service is available from Ocracoke on Rudy Austin’s Portsmouth Island Boat Tours, a passenger ferry.
Eastern National Parks and Monuments Association and the Friends of Portsmouth Island were key partners in support of the project.

Foundation pledges $500K to SAFE CampaignFoundation pledges $500K to SAFE CampaignThe Sunshine Lady
Foundation, founded and funded by Doris Buffett, has joined the SAFE Campaign to build a new shelter for domes-tic violence victims in Carteret County.
“We are deeply grateful and honored to have the continued support of the Sunshine Lady Foundation and are proud to honor the wishes of the board of the Sunshine Lady Foundation to keep the name of the facility “Caroline’s House” in memory of Doris Buffett’s dear friend Caroline Kinnamon,” Glenda Riggs, executive director of
the Carteret County Domestic Violence program, said.
Ms. Buffett was instrumen-tal in founding the Carteret County Domestic Violence Program almost 30 years ago, and in 1999, when she donated a building to be used as the shelter in the county.
The building has served well as a safe haven for many adults and children seeking safety from further incidents of abuse.
After learning of the need for a new facility, the board of directors of the foundation has again come to the aid of the
CCDVP with a pledge to donate the final $500,000 needed to bring the campaign to our groundbreaking goal.
The Sunshine Lady Foundation joins the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament and Carteret Health Care as major supporters of the capital cam-paign.
