A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… a team from the intergalactic N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores prepared to host a themed program for “May the Fourth Be with You,” which is Saturday, May 4.
This special event will show-case planetary beings from throughout the galaxy.
“This is going to be a super fun event that pulls together
a love for Lucas Films and a desire to educate and inspire youth to participate in con-servation actions,” said Nicole Warren, an aquarium educa-tor in a recent press release. “There will be surprises for all ages to enjoy.”
Master Caretta is going to provide key teachings to young apprentices of the art of con-servation.
Visitors beware that rebels could be around each corner. Prepare for an epic underwa-ter battle between “Luke Sea Walker” and “Shark Vader.”
There will be photo opportu-nities throughout the aquarium.
This free event will also include special crafts and other hidden jewels. Costumes are highly encouraged, but not required.
The N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores will be transformed Saturday, May 4. Familiar creatures, like this tiger shark, will participate in the themed program “May the Fourth Be With You,” a conservation education effort based on the popular “Star Wars” series by Lucasfilm Ltd. One event will be an underwater battle between “Luke Sea Walker” and “Shark Vader.” (File photo)

Allies for Cherry Point’s Tomorrow will host the fourth annual Brews & Bites from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 3, featuring a variety of local breweries and food ven-dors.
The event will be located on the Neuse River, at the end of Broad Street in New Bern, and will feature the return of internationally acclaimed stunt pilot Hubie Tolson of New Bern.
Attendees will enjoy an eve-ning on the river’s edge sam-pling wine, local craft brews from Brutopia and Shortway Brewing Co. in Newport and food from The Tiny Tornado and Morehead City’s Dank Burrito.
As an added bonus this year, guests will experience live music from Glorianna’s Tom Gossin and an air show performance by Mr. Tolson.
Brews & Bites was created as a community event to raise awareness for ACT’s efforts
to protect and grow Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, the area’s economic engine and the largest employer in Craven and Carteret counties, according to a release.
All proceeds will benefit continuing efforts to cement the successful future of the base, which includes the next generation F-35B Joint Strike Fighter.
“We were extremely pleased with the success of last year’s event and the sup-port shown for Cherry Point,” ACT President and Havelock Mayor Will Lewis said. “This year, especially with a return performance from Hubie Tolson, we feel we can reach even more people in our com-munity and spread the word about the vital impact the base has on our economy.”
Tickets for the event are $35 per person and food is an additional cost. To purchase tickets online, go to allies-forcherrypoint.com.
ACT to host Brews & Bites
A group of 19 mothers and daughters contributed 3,022 hours of service to at least 18 local organizations over the past six years as part of par-ticipation in an area charity and leadership program.
The group will be formally recognized for its accom-plishment in completing the program during the annual senior recognition event for the Outer Banks Chapter of National Charity League Inc.
The event will be held Saturday, May 4 at the Coral Bay Club in Atlantic Beach.
National Charity League Inc. is a mother-daughter organization formally created from the “Charity League” and “Ticktockers” in 1947. The Outer Banks chapter was formed in 2001 and chartered in 2003. Today, the Outer Banks chapter has
119 patronesses and 142 Ticktockers.
Those involved are dedi-cated to serving communi-ties and fostering the moth-er-daughter relationship. Participants embark on a six-year educational program that includes philanthropic work, leadership training and cultural events.
The schedule for this year’s senior recognition night includes opening and closing remarks by Katina Rappaport, the chapter pres-ident-elect and mistress of ceremonies, a dance for the seniors and their escorts, a mother-daughter toast, din-ner and a scholarship pre-sentation. Kylee Rappaport, the 2019 class president will offer remarks on behalf of her class.

Review: Service ups its ‘game’ with ‘You vs. Wild’
Have a Netflix night
BY MEGAN LEWISTWM
Netflix takes another stab at the choose-your-own-adven-ture “interactive” format with Edward Michael “Bear” Grylls and the show “You vs. Wild.”
The format is familiar from childhood book series like “Goosebumps” and game/story applications like “Choices.” This is Netflix’s second piece of adult-geared content that utilizes the format, and choosing a real-life adventurer was a good choice.
It’s a lot of fun.Mr. Grylls goes on several
adventures for the first season that allow him to show off his skills as a survivalist while also allowing his audience to trek alongside in a new and interest-ing way.
The interactive concept with this show combines elements of reality television with scripted television in a way that is enter-taining and educational.
The concept also makes sense commercially. If the goal is to have people spending even more time than they already do binging on Netflix, the stream-ing service might be on to a win-ning idea. Since it allows view-ers to play each episode over and over, choosing different options, it’s up to the audience
how long they spend “watch-ing” this series.
Even with only two options at four to six points throughout, this offers the potential for over 30 minutes of “play” each episode.
Additionally, the experience is customizable enough that those who try it could even choose their own objective, rather than the one dictated by the script.
While it is possible to “mess up,” the story does provide the option to choose the other route or start completely over.
This kind of control allows play to change based on a play-ers’ mood. Additionally, other options could include races with friends during dueling “binge sessions.”
Of course, there’s also the option to try to hurt the char-acter, who in this case is a real person, so certain safeguards had to be put into place.
It also raises the same sorts of concerns that have abounded since the beginning with violent videogaming.
However, there’s a wide field of opportunity to expand this type of content to other genres beyond adventure that could be “safer” routes.
“You vs. Wild,” however has neat camera work and engag-ing choices that set it apart from Netflix’s previous inter-
active offering: “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch,” which was a film about a young programmer who begins to question real-ity as he designs an interactive videogame.
Also, the choices are automati-cally more engaging in an adven-ture genre.
There’s nothing quite like the moment when you make the wrong choice and … “Oops. I hurt Bear Grylls.”
Also, some choices in a more active genre simply have the fas-cination factor going for them, as players get to participate in a bit of wish fulfillment.
Still, most people will probably be really glad they don’t actually have to eat a grub.
The only downsides to this style of storytelling: That’s a lot of footage. What is the potential, production-cost-wise, for some-thing more elaborate?
It could also be nice, for replay-ing, to be able to skip scenes, rather than only move 10 seconds forward or back at a time.
Rated TV-PG, this is an expe-rience viewers can definitely share with their children.

For the 12th consecutive year, the Beaufort Boatbuilding Challenge will enliven the water-front under a big top Saturday, May 4.
At the starting whistle, anywhere from 12 to 20 two-person teams go at it full speed to build a 12-foot Carolina Bateau rowing skiff in less than four hours.
Since its inception, the challenge, spon-sored in large part by the Atlantic Veneer Mill Outlet, has grown to become one of the most popular attractions on the Beaufort waterfront.
Held simultaneously with the N.C. Maritime Museum’s Wooden Boat Show, Beaufort is flooded each year with boat enthusiasts and spectators.
So far this year, there are four middle school-aged teams, three high school-aged teams and five adult teams scheduled to par-ticipate in the challenge.
Some of these teams will feature well-known names in the boatbuilding commu-nity.
Bobby Staab and Josh Fulp are local cham-pions. They held the world record for several years, but lost the title in 2017 to Cody Keithan and Bruno Borzoni of Belfast, Maine.
Mr. Keithan and Mr. Borzoni, as well as Mr. Staab and Mr. Fulp, will be competing this year.
“Having the world record team back from Belfast, Maine, adds a lot (to the event),” said Susan Sanders, the chairperson of the Beaufort Boatbuilding Challenge. “The record (build) is at an hour and 29 minutes. They might not do an hour and 29 minutes, but they will build a boat fast and it will be beauti-ful, and so will Bobby and Josh. There’s a real rivalry between those two teams.
“It’s always interesting to see what they are
going to come up with to outdo each other,” she continued.
Ms. Sanders said another team to be watched is Shelby Freeman and Bryce Becker.
Ms. Freeman and Mr. Becker started out as a team participating in the challenge from Croatan High School.
They recently came in second place at a competition in Belfast.
“They’ve been to Belfast, they’ve been to Georgetown (and) Kingston. They are in everything. They are just the best kids,” Ms. Sanders said.
Ms. Sanders said the organization recently hosted a practice run at the Crystal Coast Brewing Co. in Atlantic Beach to show peo-ple what the boatbuilding challenge was all about.
She hopes new faces will turn up for this year’s event.
“We had three different teams that were new faces that I’m hoping will participate,” she said, adding that new teams are what keep the challenge fresh and exciting.
To be successful in the competition, speed must be accompanied by craftsmanship and seaworthiness.
After the boats are built, participants will take part in a rowing race using the newly constructed boats.
The rowing race inevitably packs the board-walk as participants demonstrate their rowing ability, and sometimes swimming ability, in their newly crafted vessels.
The top three teams in the race will receive cash prizes, be named the winners of the Beaufort challenge and qualify for the nation-al championship.
The first-place team with the lowest total points will receive $500, the second-place team with the second lowest total points will

Plans are set in motion for the 45th annual Wooden Boat Show, hosted by the N.C. Maritime Museum in Beaufort, and the event will show-case boats of all shapes and sizes.
The Wooden Boat Show is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 4, with smaller events taking place Thursday-Friday, May 2-3 and Sunday, May 5.
Grant Caraway, Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center manager, is at the helm of the Wooden Boat Show, and he has goals to expand the event to reach a wider audience.
“I’ve been here for four years. There was a lot of the boat show established when I got here, but that’s been one of my goals since I took it over is how to keep what was the best parts of it, not eliminate anything but try to grow with the limited footprint that we have here at the museum prop-erty,” Mr. Caraway said.
One way Mr. Caraway would like to expand the event is to reach out to a younger audience.
In recent years, pirates and activi-ties targeted specifically for children have been added to the Wooden Boat Show lineup.
Carol Cannon Jr. and his pirate crew, The Cannon Crew, will have a pirate encampment set up behind the maritime museum on the patio.
A pool will be set up in front of the museum for children’s activities such as R/C model boat racing.
“My big thing with so many fami-
lies on the Crystal Coast was to encourage a younger audience and families that have younger children (to come to the Wooden Boat Show),” Mr. Caraway said. “Historically (at) antique boat shows, you don’t have a problem attracting guys who own the boat, old retired guys… I kind of noticed between this and traveling to a lot of other shows, I noticed there was a void in kids. There wasn’t a lot of kids or females. There wasn’t a lot of diversity. That’s always been on my back burner is trying to get a wider array of people here,” he continued.
Another new aspect for this year’s show is the addition of the Marine Arts Guild Invitational, Paint Out and Wet Paint Sale.
The guild will display marine-relat-ed works in the “Boatshed Gallery” beside the museum.
Plein air painters and their can-vases will be spread throughout the boat show landscape. Newly created work will be up for sale at the end of the day Saturday.
As well as the fresh, new additions, the traditional aspects of the Wooden Boat Show can be admired.
Mr. Caraway said the boats are his favorite returning part of the show.
“They really are a labor of love,” he said. “They (the boat owners) work on these boats and restore them themselves.”
Those who attend the Wooden Boat Show will be able to go sailing in a traditional wooden boat, listen

America’s Boating Club of the Crystal Coast has part-nered with the N.C. Maritime Museum to bring to the 45th Wooden Boat Show the boat-ing skills virtual trainer.
The Fort Macon Sail and Power Squadron will have the boating skills virtual trainer in operation in the museum library from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, May 3, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 4 and 1-4 p.m. Sunday, May 5.
Museum visitors will have an opportunity to maneuver the Boston Whaler Dauntless 200 on a lake where there are no risks as they approach other boats in meeting, cross-ing and overtaking situations.
During the demonstration, visitors will be guided by LED screens showing the lake and the Mercury outboard throt-tle, trim controls and steer-ing wheel will allow them to approach and “dock” their boat without fear of damag-ing anything.
There is a working tachom-eter and speedometer to help manage boat speed, and a working compass to guide participants around the lake.
The LED screens display scenes on the port and star-board going by, as well as the dock ahead that the virtual boat is approaching for a land-ing.
Other boating skill environ-ments include working with spring lines, departing the dock, mooring, emergency stops and maneuvering in heavy wind, strong current and day and night situations.
Less than a year after N.C. Aquariums launched Spot A Shark USA, a citizen science program, lead researchers have issued initial findings in a manu-script published in the journal “Ecology.”
The four-page document out-lines a discovery that could play a significant role in the strate-gic protection of the sand tiger shark, Carcharias taurus, a glob-ally designated vulnerable spe-cies, whose presence is linked to healthy aquatic ecosystems.
“Photographs collected by citizen scientists revealed that a large coastal shark species, the sand tiger shark, returns to the same or nearby shipwrecks,” said Avery Paxton, lead researcher for the project and principal author of the paper in a recent press release. “This behavior, known as site fidelity, could mean ship-wrecks play a significant role in the lives of this imperiled shark species.”
The preliminary findings add to a growing body of evidence indicating shipwrecks are poten-tially critical habitat for the spe-cies and could help facilitate con-servation of sand tiger sharks, whose U.S. populations have been estimated to have declined by more than 75% primarily in the 1980s and 1990s.
“This manuscript is an intro-ductory representation of the larger body of work that’s devel-
oping around sand tiger sharks and habitat use on sites along the coast of North Carolina,” said Hap Fatzinger, director of the N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher. “The larger body of work, utiliz-ing acoustic telemetry work and expansion of the Spot A Shark USA data set, will reveal the big-ger picture over time.”
It is believed the highly migra-tory species uses the North Carolina wrecks as “rest stops” on their journey from New England to Florida.
Another hypothesis suggests the shipwrecks may be even more valuable to sand tiger sharks and could be key reproductive habi-tats or year-round habitats.
That’s what makes citizen sci-entists so important. The area is so vast there is no way research-ers could cover that much ground, said Dr. Paxton, a visiting scholar at Duke University Marine Lab.
Divers submit new and histori-cal images to the Spot A Shark USA website giving as much information about the image as possible.
Behind the scenes, research-ers map the spots of each shark to identify them uniquely. Much like a human can be identified by a finger print.
“Six female sand tiger sharks were photographed and re-pho-tographed at the same or near-by shipwrecks located off the coast of North Carolina over a
period of time ranging from a few months to six years,” said Dr. Paxton, formerly a postdoctoral researcher with the South-East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction & Conservation. “This indicates shipwrecks are potentially critical habitats for sand tiger sharks and worthy of further research.”
These findings are similar to research along the eastern Australia coast and in offshore waters of South Africa, which shows “sand tiger sharks exhib-it high site fidelity on offshore reefs as juveniles and adults,” Dr. Paxton said.
“There are still a lot of unknowns,” Dr. Paxton said. “We do not know what the female sand tigers are doing in between the times they are photographed. We also do not know what the males are doing. That does not mean that the males do not also return to the same or nearby shipwrecks, rather they have not been pho-tographed doing so.
“It is a scientific process, and we have just started chipping at the surface,” Dr. Paxton said. “That’s why it is so important to share this information to fur-ther future research efforts.”
The N.C. Aquariums led col-laboration includes Georgia Aquarium, Minnesota Zoo Foundation, Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, New York Aquarium, Wildlife Conservation Society,
South-East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction & Conservation, Duke University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, East Carolina University, Coastal Studies Institute, Wild Me, Blue Elements Imaging and citizen scientists who are submitting photos.
Bringing researchers and div-ers from around the world to the table is crucial to solving the complex mysteries of the sand tiger shark and facilitating conservation and ultimately the recovery of this iconic species, researchers said.
“The North Carolina Aquariums are proud to lead a multi-institutional effort to bet-ter understand how sand tiger sharks are using habitats along the coast of North Carolina,” Mr. Fatzinger said. “Through collaborations and strong part-nerships, Spot A Shark USA is engaging recreational divers to become citizen scientists and provide essential data to expand our knowledge.
“By increasing community engagement, we are creating stronger connections to local, regional and global concerns for sharks and healthy ocean eco-systems,” he continued.

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!
