This week a new year begins and as some aim to start healthy resolutions, Crystal Coast Countdown offers a way to start in 2015 with activities that try to get folks moving.

On Thursday, Jan. 1, the morning will start off at 9 a.m. with a mile or 5K run/walk through downtown Beaufort.

Later, in Atlantic Beach, visitors may trek along with a state park ranger on the trails at Fort Macon during First Hike.

Following the hike, Atlantic Beach will provide for the brave a fun way to cool off at the Penguin Plunge at 1 p.m., all in an effort to raise money for the Carteret County Humane Society.

Plunge participants or spectators may start registra-tion or choose to donate only on the boardwalk in front of the Crab’s Claw Restaurant at 10 a.m. Event organizers have a few rules, to ensure chilly fairness for all, including no wet suits, with fun costumes encouraged for additional fun.

BY CHUCK WATERSCONTRIBUTOR

I think it all started when Production Manager Vernon Thompson came whisking around the corner from the paste-up department and into the newsroom of the old Carteret County News-Times offices at 4037 Arendell St. in Morehead City. (That facil-ity is now Substation No. 3 of the Morehead City Fire Department, with an updated stone and brick façade.)

Early in 1981, the News-Times became the first fully computerized newspaper in the state, which meant each reporter had access to his or her own computer, which speaks well to the vision of the Phillips family in recogniz-ing the coming transformation of digital media and computer printing technology.

Vernon was waving a clip-board and made straight for my desk. If memory serves, staff at that time included Managing Editor Jeff Jones, laboring away at editing and dispatching copy to pre-press; Lisa Taylor, cops/crime reporter and ace photog; John Hackney, covering the sports desk; Beth Blake, ham-mering the courts and county beat and who would eventu-ally take over the reigns as managing editor; Brad Rich, town government, eco-beat guru and my future partner-in-crime with the notorious, recurring column “Quibbles & Bits;” Joni King, on fea-tures and spot news; and Joan Greene, covering religion and Compass Points activities.

Walter Phillips directed the paper’s editorial section with an opinionated yet open mind. A former Marine, Walter once had to tell me how “Semper Fidelis” is spelled, and that is just one of the many lessons I learned while in his employ.

Publisher Eleanore Phillips would gracefully stroll through the newsroom occasionally to check on the family business, and I always felt I was in the presence of nobility. Which, I was.

“Chuck! We’re gonna need that entertainment calendar for the Weekender. Will you send that through to film,” Vernon barked.

I hit the send button, and This Weekend Magazine was born. The first edition of This Week Magazine was published in 1978, and I was the new guy recently hired to juggle entertainment, business, the state port, chamber of com-merce, Newport town gov-ernment and maybe a little military and N.C. Department of Transportation business thrown in there, as well.

Not to mention having to write, edit, proofread (with limited success) and lay out my pages, but roll, shoot, print and develop my photos in the communal darkroom. News-Times staffers had to wear many haberdasheries (i.e.: hats) back in the day, and still do. Not that I minded for one minute – it was the best on-the-job journalism training I ever had and stood me well when I moved on to the Raleigh News & Observer in 1988. But, that’s another story.

Facilitating all the con-tent was Lockwood Phillips, who directed the advertising department, without which no newspaper or magazine could exist.

Not sure exactly when it first came up, but at some point Lockwood suggested, “Why don’t we make Weekender a real magazine and not just a throw-away grocery store supplement?”

And, somehow – we did. There were some grow-

ing pains. “That’s an ‘orphan’ quote, you can’t use that on the cover!” Or, “That’s a hot type right now, better not overuse it,” Lockwood would argue. And he was always right.

The fledging TWM was an attempt to put out a weekly guide highlighting all of the various recreational, cultur-al, sports and entertainment options for locals and tour-ists alike to consider for any given week. It was timed to hit the racks Thursday, so it could include the Wednesday and Friday grocery store chain ad supplements.

Outgrowing the Arendell Street plant, in June 2006 the CCNT moved to its current location at 4206 Bridges St. On Thursday, July 4, the final print version of TWM will roll

In 2015, This Week Magazine staff and management worked together in a months-long process to redesign and begin rebranding This Week Magazine to its current format as TWM. Some of the steps in that process are shown above, including the editor’s note that used to be on the second page, left, and the survey that was printed for several weeks in the publication, right. (File graphics)

Survey:As we continue working on revamping the mag-azine, and always, we appreciate input from our readers. Help TWM improve by filling out this survey and mailing it to TWM Survey, P.O. Box 1679, Morehead City, N.C. 28557, dropping it off in the box at 4206 Bridges St. in Morehead City or complete the survey online at http://tinyurl.com/TWM-revamp-survey.

During its run, TWM totaled 2,031 editions and was snapped up at many loca-tions throughout the Carteret County distribution area.

Circulation peaked at 75,000 prints throughout seven coun-ties from 1998 to 2000.

Some of the subsequent edi-tors included (in no particular order) Cathy Neal Hoggard, James Minor, Taylor McCune, Craig Ramey, Lindsay Street, Jackie Delano, Bonnie Pollock, Jennifer Allen, Melissa Jones and current Editor Megan Soult, who has masterfully helmed TWM since 2015.

It is with genuine sadness to reflect on the final print version of TWM, the one you can actually hold in your hands and not have to access through some computer, cell phone or streaming device.

Driven by economic necessi-ty, the News-Times announced recently the publication’s printing will now be out-sourced to Adams Publishing Group in Greenville.

Though things are changing

for the News-Times, Lockwood Phillips said readers will still be able to access the maga-zine for free, just as in previ-ous years.

“The publication was pro-vided for our temporary guests and our day-trippers to get a quick and easy view of what’s happening in the county,” he said. “Carteret County and the Crystal Coast has a lot going for it. We will have more fun with the magazine on the digi-tal side and the process will give us greater freedom.”

The News-Times facility at 4206 Bridges St. is currently under contract.

While the paper’s offices may eventually relocate to a smaller and more cost-effi-cient facility, the award-win-ning triweekly will remain the only comprehensive print and online source of local and statewide news important to residents of the Crystal Coast, Carteret County and all of eastern North Carolina.

This Week Magazine still lives, only you won’t be able to fold it up and put it your pocket or beach bag any-more.

Ain’t technology wonder-ful!?

A note from Editor Megan Soult: I took on the posi-tion of editor of This Week Magazine about a year after I graduated college.

I jumped feet first into the world of newsprint and quickly found myself the editor of the Coastal Living section, obituaries, This Week Magazine, special sec-tions and (a few years later) Compass Points.

Shortly after I start-ed working on This Week Magazine, I was tasked with redesigning the magazine’s look.

Together with our page designer, Megan Lewis, I redesigned the magazine and it became known as TWM.

The cover of this week’s magazine is a look at some of our favorite covers over the years, some before my time and many since I have taken over.

Though the magazine will no longer be offered in print form, readers will still be able to access its content. Just remember to check out carolinacoastonline.com to see what’s going on “this week and beyond in the county.”

Review: Kitschy ‘Murder Mystery’ a fun whodunnit

Have a Netflix night

BY MEGAN LEWISNEWS-TIMES

It was Audrey and Nick Spitz on the yacht with the knife. Or was it?

Just like in the board game Clue by Hasbro, amateur sleuths have to solve a murder in this comedy, “Murder Mystery,” star-ring Jennifer Anniston and Adam Sandler.

The two play couple Audrey and Nick Spitz who wind up as the prime suspects in an Interpol mur-der investigation. The only way to make sure they don’t end up in prison overseas is to find the killer themselves.

Of course, Mr. Spitz has been telling his wife for years that he’s

made detective at the precinct where he actually works as a beat cop, and Mrs. Spitz reads mystery novels all the time, so surely they can handle this? Both expect solv-ing the case will be easy, so the hilarity in this comedy-action flick comes from their obvious over-estimation of their abilities and ensuing antics.

It’s a good thing both actors are experienced in comedy. Without their delivery, this movie would be a flop.

The writing is lackluster. The technical aspects are standard fare. The plot is predictable. Aside from the cast, there’s very little good in this film.

The A-list cast carries the film, poking fun at the tropes of the

genre, the plot and the writing in ways that make its badness seem endearing and kitschy rather than lame or, pardon the pun, dead in the water.

As IMDb.com user ryanazzi wrote June 14 on the movie’s review page, “It may not be an oscar contender but it’s certainly a fun time.”

For 97 minutes, feel free to for-get your woes and enjoy a chuckle with this summer release from Netflix. It’s rated PG-13 for some adult themes and naughty words, but it is, after all, about a murder.

Two stars out of four.

Showing times for the various area theaters and reviews will continue as print features in the Coastal Living section of the Carteret County News-Times, primarily in Sunday editions.

Here’s your opportunity to be a part of a premiere event telling one of New Bern’s most compelling stories, the Stanly-Spaight Duel.

Auditions for “Honour, The Musical,” with book and lyr-ics by Bill Hand and music by Simon Spalding, will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 10 and 10 a.m. Saturday, July 13 at Craven Community College in Orringer Auditorium.

Participants will be asked to present a one-minute mono-logue of their choice and to read from the script. They will also be asked to sing one of two songs.

The songs and more details are found at Facebook.com/HonourTheMusical.

The performance dates are Thursday-Sunday, Jan. 23-26 and Friday-Sunday, Jan. 31-Feb 2, 2020.

“Honour, The Musical” tells the story of the 1802 duel between Richard Dobbs Spaight and John Stanly, as well as the story of one of Mr. Spaight’s slaves, Sarah Rice, who was the mother of a child by Mr. Stanly and who one day would gain her freedom and become an important part of New Bern his-tory.

This project is presented

Be a part of history, audition for New Bern showthrough a p a r t n e r s h i p of the New Bern Historical S o c i e t y and Craven C o m m u n i t y College, sup-ported with title sponsorship of C a r o l i n a E a s t Health System and silver spon-sorship of the law firms of Stubbs & Perdue and Oliver & Cheek.

“We are thrilled to part-ner with this dynamic group to present this world premiere of ‘Honour, The

HAND

SPALDING

Musical,’ a unique New Bern story,” New Bern Historical Society Executive Director Mickey Miller said in a recent press release. “The mission of the New Bern Historical Society is to celebrate and promote New Bern and its heritage through events and education, and ‘Honour’ fits our mission perfectly.”

Mr. Hand is a local writer, historian and journalist who is known for his weekly history

column in the New Bern Sun Journal.

He has also written the scripts and directed the Cedar Grove Cemetery ghosts for the historical society’s annual Ghostwalk.

Audiences may also remem-ber his dinner theater pre-sentations from Athens of the South company, as well as his portrayal of Mark Twain and

appearances in local theater productions.

The music of “Honour” is the work of musician, histo-rian, author and performer Mr. Spalding.

He has been a musician for 50-plus years, performing with groups throughout the United States and in several European countries.

His solo performances have

taken him to 12 European coun-tries, and he has composed, arranged and performed music for dozens of commercial record-ings and films.

He also served for five years as living history programs manager at Tryon Palace.

For details, call 252-638-8558 or go to NewBernHistorical.org or facebook.com/NewBernHistor-icalSociety.

Auditions for “Honour, The Musical,” will be held 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 10 and 10 a.m. Saturday, July 13 in Orringer Auditorium at Craven Community College in New Bern. (Contributed photos)

For the month of July, the Cassie Howe Algeo Gallery will feature the flowing images of Beaufort resident Linda Werthwein.

This exhibit will be in the gallery in the hallway connecting the lobbies of Carteret Health Care at 3500 Arendell St., Morehead City.

These shows are free and open to the public at all times. The works of art are for sale, and purchase can be arranged through the Carteret Health Care Foundation office.

Ms. Werthwein has a Master in Fine Art in painting and Master of Art Education from East Carolina University.

According to a release, she loves to help liberate creativity in others, encouraging them to “take a chance.”

She has taught art at many levels,

including to preschoolers, elementary, secondary, community college, those with disabilities, inmates, university classes and professional artists.

She offers classes at her studio and gallery in Beaufort.

As a native North Carolinian, she is influenced by her life in coastal North Carolina and the Caribbean, where she frequently travels.

Her paintings are colorful renditions that vary from serenely blended oils to gestural watercolors. Moving from a touch of realism to the abstract, she enjoys surprise and following the lead of the imagination.

Many of her works include the flow-ing sea and wild horses of the Outer Banks in vibrant colors.

See more on her website, lindacwerth-wein.com, Facebook and Instagram.

Artists are needed for an upcoming exhibition.

“Inner Coast Wood and Quilting” is an exhibition fea-turing traditional craftsman-ship in the central eastern North Carolina region.

Artists are invited to submit their original works to one of five categories for an opportu-nity to win one of 21 exhibition awards, along with show spon-sor awards to be announced over the coming months.

The “Inner Coast Wood and Quilting” is a joint exhibition

by Craven Arts Council and Gallery and the Arts Council of Carteret County, presented in the main gallery at Bank of the Arts, 317 Middle St., New Bern.

The exhibition will be open Wednesday, Aug. 7 through Friday, Aug. 30 during normal gallery hours.

For more information, eli-gibility requirements and to register, visit the Craven Arts Council ICW&Q website.

The deadline to enter is Monday, July 15.

The N.C. Symphony’s 2019 Friends of Note luncheon raised more than $93,000 in support of its music education program, which is unrivaled by any sym-phony orchestra.

On April 24, more than 350 arts lovers and business and commu-nity leaders gathered at the Angus Barn Pavilion in Raleigh to cel-ebrate the importance of learning through music.

The Friends of Note luncheon is a highly anticipated event in the Triangle every spring, and for the second year in a row, tickets and sponsorships sold out weeks in advance, according to a release.

The symphony’s music edu-

cation mission came to life in a performance by young string players from the N.C. Chamber Music Institute, a training pro-gram developed by NCS associate principal cellist Elizabeth Beilman.

The N.C. Symphony’s extensive music education program serves nearly 70,000 students of all ages across the state annually.

In alignment with the curricu-lum set by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, the symphony provides training and resources for teachers, sends small ensem-bles into classrooms and presents full-orchestra education concerts for fourth- and fifth-graders.

Music Discovery for preschool-

ers combines music with story-telling, and at the middle and high school levels, students have opportunities to work directly with NCS artists and perform for NCS audiences through programs such as the Kathleen Price and Joseph M. Bryan Youth Concerto Competition, Ovations preconcert performances and master classes with NCS musicians and guest art-ists.

The Friends of Note luncheon – together with ongoing support from individuals, foundations, cor-porations and the state – allows the symphony to fulfill its music education mission and inspire the next generation.

Summertime...and the yarn-spinning is easy.

Four of the best storytelling acts from the East Coast will con-verge in Carteret County soon for the 16th annual Storytelling Festival.

Scheduled for consecutive Wednesdays in July, performances take place at 10 a.m. at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City, with an encore presenta-tion 2 p.m. at Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Bogue.

“We invite anyone who is interested in listening to first-rate storytellers that come from all over the East Coast and as far away as New York City and Ohio,” festival organizer Brita Flynn of the Bogue Banks Public Library said. “Groups that come from local daycare centers and sum-mer camps range in age from kin-dergarten to grades 5 and 6, but we also have multi-age families and many walk-ins.

“We schedule the festival dur-ing the summer when school is out and camps and groups are in session and looking for something to do. It goes hand-in-hand with the Summer Reading Program, and libraries are always looking for ways to bridge the summer reading gap,” she added.

A total of 1,907 people attend-ed last year’s festival.

Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend any and all sessions. The schedule is as follows:

Donna Tillman from Greenville, S.C., thrills audiences

Celebrate summer with a story

with her dynamic style and love for stories and literature. She has appeared at storytelling fes-tivals around the country and throughout the world.

One familiar comment from audiences is, “I could visualize every story as if I was watching it in person.”

Wednesday, July 17Jess Willis from Florence,

S.C., is a self-described “story-teller at heart.” She believes that no matter our age, we all need stories.

From folk and family yarns to “fractured” fairytales to per-sonal foibles, all are fair game in her voluminous book of tales.

She also believes in being engaged with her communi-ty and works part time with the Ovis Hill organic farm. She builds her own puppets from recycled materials and hosts a monthly storytelling event, “Story Swap.”

Wednesday, July 24Science Tellers, from

Hillsborough, N.J., ask the ques-tion, “What happens when sci-ence and storytelling mix?”

The audience can find out when elements of scientific experimentation and the art of the tale are combined in this unique theatrical experience.

According to the group’s website, “For most kids, the show will be a healthy mixture of family concepts and material within the fields of physics and chemistry.”

Wednesday, July 31No Sleeves Magic is from

Wilmington. With nothing up their sleeves but a magical imagination, Michael Rosander and his troupe inspire children of all ages with a theatrical sto-rytelling experience.

No Sleeves Magic was found-ed on the love for children and the desire to encourage them to express their unique indi-viduality.

Many elements of magic incorporate science and math,

which makes performing illu-sions educational and enter-taining.

The group was voted “Best Family Entertainer” for eight consecutive years by Wilmington Parent Magazine.

The Storytelling Festival origi-nated in 2003 with librarians telling stories at different loca-tions.

The next year, children’s librarians Sara Barbee and Betty Kirkland helped to organize the event with paid storytellers.

Librarians at the Carteret County Public Library, the Western Carteret and Bogue Banks branches helped select the tellers and man the shows.

The festival bounced around various venues – including the Crystal Coast Civic Center, the N.C. Maritime Museum, the History Museum of Carteret and even a school gymnasium – before officials chose the present civic center and Bethlehem United

Methodist Church locations. Ms. Flynn said she came

along in 2005 and currently chooses participating perform-ers by attending various other storytelling events, through suggestions from other tellers and social media.

“All along, we have been generously supported by the Friends of Bogue Banks Public Library, the Friends of the Carteret County Public Library and the Friends of the Western Carteret Public Library,” she said. “And in recent years, we have also received support from the Beaufort Inn. When scheduling, lately I’ve had more local North Carolina perform-ers come, mindful of keeping our costs down and making it more affordable for the Friends groups that do so much for all the libraries.”

cal interpreters will be roam-ing the grounds, engaging with visitors to share their views on American independence.

Celebrate the Glorious Fourth at Tryon Palace

It’s an Independence Day cel-ebration with a twist: tradition-ally rigged sailing craft will rally to celebrate the historic voyages that carried the news of the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the Outer Banks.

The course covers between 6 and 20 miles and is designed so the race will last between four and eight hours.

the Great Fourth Race is on Taylor’s Creek, just off the dock of the museum’s Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center on Front Street in downtown Beaufort.

The best viewing for race spec-tators will be between 9 and 10 a.m., when the entrants are staged on Taylor’s Creek awaiting the race’s start.

The county, and the rest of the country, is gearing up to celebrate Independence Day, Thursday, July 4. The Fourth of July holiday celebrates America’s birthday and peo-ple gather to enjoy the warm weather, fireworks, bonfires, grilling out and more.

Beaufort will celebrate the holiday starting at 11 a.m. with a parade.

“We got a lot of people signed up,” said Susan Saunders, pres-ident of Downtown Beaufort Development Association. “We will have a nice, healthy parade.”

The parade will take place along Front Street and turn up Turner Street.

The grand marshal this year is Beaufort Mayor Rett Newton, who will be accompanied by bagpipers.

Holland Shepard Realty will have an ice cream social in the courthouse parking lot after the parade.

At 1:30 p.m., Ann Street United Methodist Church will host a special Fourth of July celebration, followed by a bell ringing in honor of the original 13 American colonies at 2 p.m.

Then at 6 p.m., Dick Knight will perform at John Newton Park as a part of Beaufort’s Music in the Park concert series.

At Gallants Channel, the town will prepare for firework launching at 6 p.m.

There will be beer, wine, watermelon and hotdogs, as well as live music provided by a local DJ.

The fireworks start at 9 p.m.Morehead City will cele-

brate the holiday with several events.

The Main Event Band will perform from 7-10 p.m. Thursday with a free concert in Jaycee Park. For more informa-tion, go to themaineventband.com.

This concert is hosted by the Morehead City Parks and Recreation Department and the town of Morehead City.

At 9 p.m., the music will fade and the sky will explode with the Morehead City fireworks display. Every year, the show is shot off from across the water on Sugarloaf Island.

The fireworks display is sponsored by the town of Morehead City and hosted by Downtown Morehead City Inc.

There will be a Fourth of

July Fireworks Cruise from 7-9 p.m. Skip the crowds on shore and bring your friends and family aboard for a fireworks display with water views. To book a reservation, call 252-504-2488.

Atlantic Beach will host a celebration from 7-10 p.m. at the Circle.

Robert McDuffy will perform live music before the fireworks, which start at 9 p.m.

Paid parking ends at 6 p.m., so parking will be free.

Pine Knoll Shores will host its very own patriotic parade at 10 a.m. Thursday at Garner Park.

Those who wish to partici-pate can dress up in their red, white and blue and decorate anything that moves – dogs, golf carts and bikes included – and join in the parade route.

After the parade there will be cold watermelon for the participants.

Emerald Isle will have a fire-work display at 9 p.m.

Parking will be available at Bogue Inlet Pier, as well as along Highway 58.

The fireworks will also be vis-ible from Bogue Sound and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.

The Continental Congress declared its independence from Great Britain July 2, 1776. If that date raises an eyebrow, it should, according to Metro Creative Connections.

Independence Day in the United States has long been celebrated July 4, which would seem to be two days late.

But upon closer examina-tion, it seems Americans are not really celebrating their independence two days later than they should be.

According to the National Constitution Center, the Continental Congress approved a resolution declaring its inde-pendence from Great Britain July 2. However, a document still needed to be drafted to explain the decision to the gen-eral public.

Such a document was already in the works, but it took two days for the men of Congress to agree on a final version.

The resulting document, known as the Declaration of Independence, was sent to John Dunlap, an Irish print-er who served under George Washington during the American Revolutionary War,

Ring in the holiday all over the county

who subsequently printed roughly 200 broadsides.

Still, the Declaration of Independence was not read to the public until July 8, 1776,

when Col. John Nixon did so in Philadelphia, Pa., on what is now known as Independence Square.

It was nearly a month later,

on Aug. 2, 1776, when most members of the Continental Congress actually signed the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia.

If you’re familiar with some ani-mation from the 90s and today, chances are you’re familiar with Tony Craig’s work.

Mr. Craig is an animation art-ist who lives in Harkers Island, but many may not know he also dabbles in watercolor paintings.

The artist said he couldn’t remember a time when he wasn’t drawing.

“One of my earliest memories is of my parents taking me to see Disney’s ‘Pinocchio.’ I was still in a high chair,” he said. “From the time I could hold a pencil or crayon I was drawing.

“Things I remembered from our family vacations to the zoo or Myrtle Beach (S.C.) would show up along with horrible spellings, such as ‘LEGDR’ for ‘alligator.’. If you sound it out, it makes sense! I was only 3 or 4, so I guess that’s to be expected,” he continued.

There were no formal art les-sons in Mr. Craig’s childhood. He sketched on whatever paper he could find. However, there was one thing that he always used for inspiration.

“Our public library had a refer-ence book called The Art of Walt Disney by Christopher Finch, and I would always copy pictures from it,” Mr. Craig said. “Because of the book, I realized that animation was a job you could have as an artist, so I decided at 4 years old that that was what I was going to do.”

During his final years of high school, Mr. Craig learned there was a school in Valencia (now Santa Clarita) that offered pro-grams of interest.

The California Institute of the Arts offered animation classes taught by actual animators who

would drive up to the school from the San Fernando Valley after work and teach evening classes.

“During the day, we took life drawing, design and color, and other electives. I applied during my senior year with a portfolio and didn’t get in, but during my first year studying art at Winthrop College in Rock Hill, S.C., I reap-plied and got in,” Mr. Craig said. “I moved to California in 1987 and took two years of classes before landing a job on the new Steven Speilberg/Warner Brothers show, ‘Tiny Toon Adventures.’ From there, I continued to learn all aspects of the animation indus-try and went to work at Disney, Hanna Barbera, Dreamworks and many other smaller studios.”

In 1993, Mr. Craig and a friend pitched an original show con-cept to the studios. Though the show fell through, it led to an opportunity for Mr. Craig to be approached by Disney to produce and direct a cartoon series based on Timon and Pumbaa from the “Lion King.”

“From there we did the same on the ‘101 Dalmatians’ TV car-toon series when the live action John Hughes movie came out, and then, when waiting in the hallway for a meeting with our boss, asked him (about some development artwork on the wall), ‘Hey, who’s developing that Mickey Mouse series?’

‘You guys are,’ he said, and that was how that started.”

Mr. Craig has been involved in a number of animated shows over the years, but after 20 years in California he started to miss his home state and decided to free-lance from North Carolina.

“I have still been able to work steadily remotely, now that every-thing, even though it is hand drawn still, is drawn on a comput-

er screen rather than paper. I can Skype for meetings and upload/download work immediately,” he said. “I was able to actually direct again this way, on a Chinese co-production with Disney on a for China TV show about Stitch (from ‘Lilo and Stitch’) called, ‘Stitch and Ai.’ It premiered to some of the highest ratings for a children’s show in China.”

Mr. Craig is currently working on the 2020 reboot of “Animaniacs” that Mr. Speilberg and Warner brothers are doing for Hulu. He worked on the original show in 1990.

“That’s kind of hard to believe, but I have worked with Bugs and Daffy, Mickey and the gang, Fred Flintstone, and Scooby Doo. All my childhood cartoons,” he said.

Amid all of his animation work, Mr. Craig is also trying to pursue painting in his free time.

“I made the decision to go for it last November and have com-pleted and submitted numerous paintings to national shows this year,” Mr. Craig said. “They’ve all

been accepted, and one of my min-iature paintings of ‘Approaching Storm - Little Pigs BBQ, Statesville, NC’ won first place as best still life in the National Juried Small Works Show at the Heartland Gallery in the Mena Art Gallery of Mena, Arkansas.”

His painting “Interlude,” which features a barn swallow resting on a rope tied to the Sampson post of an old boat in Atlantic, was accepted into Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum’s annual Birds In Art show coming this September in Wausau, Wis.

“This show is one of the most prestigious wildlife shows in the world and I’m very excited to see what comes after that for my art career,” Mr. Craig said. “My primary subject matter is old stores, mills, and neon signs.”

His next painting adventure will deal with some local his-tory. Mr. Craig recently wrote a book about North Carolina country stores that can be purchased at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and

Heritage Center store.“I’ve embarked on a goal to

paint at least 40 old stores from mostly NC and SC and approach museums and galleries with them as an important historical show of a vanishing way of life in the South,” Mr. Craig said. “I’d also like to include some models of store fronts that I will build to match how they looked when I photographed them. I’ve found that in the last 10 years or so, it has become almost impossible to find any more of them that still have old signs on them or are even open.

“Widening highways and neglect have resulted in a loss of a slice of our history that I am striv-ing to preserve in the best way I know how, by painting them,” he noted.

Mr. Craig’s work can be seen at the heritage/decoy festivals on Harkers Island the first week-end of every December and at the Carteret Contemporary Art Gallery in Morehead City on Arendell Street.
