The Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild is preparing for a popular, annual event that educates the public on decoys with a little friendly competi-tion.
Loon Day starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 11 at the Curt H. Salter building on Harkers Island Road.
“It’s a celebration day for Down East. We have good attendance and it’s a good chance for people to buy decoys from young and upcoming carvers at a decent price,” said Bert Billings, a guild member.
“It’s a fun day at the carv-ing guild, preserving some of Down East’s traditions,” he continued.
According to the group’s
Facebook page, during the first several years the com-petition was for loons only, but this year all birds will be included.
Those entering the com-petition can submit puddle, divers, geese, confidence and loon decoys.
Decoys submitted for the competition act as the entry fee. All decoys submitted for the competition become prop-erty of the guild.
The Loon Day decoy compe-tition judging will take place at the Harkers Island bridge area with the decoys out in the water and the judges mak-ing their evaluations from the shore.
The decoys will be hidden before judging so they cannot
be prejudged from a closer perspective.
The competition has cash awards.
First place will receive $200, second place will get $100, third will receive $50 and fourth place will receive $25.
Everyone is invited to par-ticipate, regardless of skill.
As well as the competition, there will be a live auction of the competition decoys, including all the ribbon win-ners, other decoys and items.
The fourth annual Loon Day Shorebird Competition starts shortly after floating the Loon Day birds.
Carvers may enter any style or variety of shorebird they wish and will need to rig them
for staking out on the beach. The birds will be judged
from a distance of 15 feet, and first, second and third place winners will be able to pick a bird to take home out of the entries as their reward.
Those who are entering a decoy should remember to include a stand for the bird.
Entries not selected by the winners will be auctioned off following the competition.
Mail-in entries will be accepted by Casey Arthur at 205 Sycamore Drive, Beaufort, NC 28516, and participants wishing to mail in an entry can contact him at 252-241-8001.
All birds placed in the com-petition are automatically property of the Core Sound
Decoy Carvers Guild. In addition to this contest,
there will be a special, one-day exhibit of antique Core Sound buffleheads, pintails and beach robins.
Anyone who wishes to bring a bird to display for the event may do so by 10 a.m. Decoys will be photographed and included in future guild publications.
There will be an opportu-nity for spectators to cast a vote for their favorite decoy, as well.
For more information, call Mr. Arthur at 252-241-8001.
Those interested in enter-ing the competition should contact Mr. Billings at 910-777-1692 for competition rules and regulations.

Re�iew: ‘Chambers’ a slow-mo�ing mystery
Have a Netflix night
BY MEGAN LEWISTWM
One way to keep an audi-ence coming back episode after episode is to drag out a mys-tery, and Netflix’s new release “Chambers” takes that route.
As with most mysteries, things start out in fairly mundane terri-tory as main character Sasha, played by Sivan Rose, takes off to be with her boyfriend, T.J. (Griffin Powell-Arcand).
Somewhere in all the excite-ment of making love, however, Sasha has a heart attack at 17, and T.J. seems to forget that he brought her in a car as he carries her down the road in the rain, calling for help.
(Get her to a hospital, dude.)From there, things actually
remain pretty normal, although maybe not for Sasha, who laments the changes that come with a transplant, like taking pills for the rest of her life like an older woman.
It’s not until the last third of the episode when creepy music and dark lighting and a dust storm and the “Stepford” cou-ple from ritzy Crystal Valley all combine to clue the audience
in that something here is not within the boundaries of what’s counted as “normal” for a teen-aged heart recipient.
The real mystery, however, drops in the last two minutes.
So, the audience might feel like it learns next to nothing in the pilot, but that just means they have to continue to the next episode…assuming the writers gave them enough to tickle their curiosity.
Some people who sign up to watch a supernatural horror mystery about a haunted organ transplant might find the first episode underwhelming in that regard.
Others, however, might be able to read between the lines.
Overtly, the strangest thing that happens is when Sasha starts having unusual dreams about her donor, Becky’s, sex life.
She also finds a hidden cam-era in Becky’s room.
Becky, played by Lilliya Reid, will clearly play a larger role in the remainder of the series, but for this episode, don’t expect to learn too much about her.
Just wait.
Next episode, the girl from the poor neighborhood will transfer to the fancy high school.
Because Becky’s parents, who are rich, feel inclined to give even more than their daughter’s heart away to Sasha, they offer her a full ride to a bourgeoisie private school that could change her life … well, more.
Maybe the real mystery is why Becky’s parents feel like their daughter saving someone’s life isn’t enough to honor her memory.
Another question: What’s with all the triangles?
So, aside from a slow start, there might be enough here for the show to get really good.
Give it a shot once the chil-dren are solidly asleep. 10 epi-sodes ranging from 40 to 50 minutes each are rated MA with good reason, including talk of drugs, foul language, sex and plenty of gratuitous nudity.

�weet, refreshing summer snacks
(Content and images provided by Family Features.)
Find more ideas for incorporating watermelon into your summer festivities at watermelon.org.
Red, white and blue:There’s no time like a hot summer picnic
to let your patriotic spirit show. These all-American snacks featuring a classic favorite fruit – watermelon – are the perfect solution for nearly any summertime celebration.
Watermelon is a delicious picnic staple for countless reasons, not the least of which is that it’s a beloved treat that many people associate with memories from childhood. However, nostalgia isn’t the only reason adults are just as likely to gravitate toward watermelon at a summer event. Its sweet, cool and refreshing flavor also makes it a
favorite for all ages.From a practical standpoint, watermelon
is also quite portable, versatile and easy to serve, and with a composition of 92% water, it’s a simple way to sneak in some extra hydration on a hot day. Another benefit is its value; watermelon is one of the best val-ues in the produce section among fruit, and just one watermelon can feed up to three dozen people.
Serving watermelon at a party can be as simple as slicing wedges, or you can prepare a dish such as:
A fruit basket, with the rind serving as a
colorful bowl to hold the watermelon and other fresh fruits.
A charcuterie board with a selection of fruit, cheese and protein for simple snack-ing.
Creamy parfaits, perfect for a summery brunch or alternative to more traditional desserts.
A creatively colorful and patriotic “cake” that makes for a tasty centerpiece on the dessert table.
Find more ideas for incorporating water-melon into your summer festivities at watermelon.org.
WATERMELON-INFUSED WATER
2 cups watermelon balls or cubes1 cup other fruit, such as ber-riesherbs, such as basil or mintPlace watermelon, fruit and
herbs in pitcher and cover with water. For best flavor, allow to chill in refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.

PARFAIT1 cup blueberries1 container (6 ounces) Greek yogurt (vanilla, lemon or coconut)1 cup watermelon, plus three pieces diced watermelonwhipped cream, for servingIn pint canning jar, layer blue-
berries, yogurt and 1 cup water-melon. Top with whipped cream and garnish with three diced watermelon pieces.
Note: To make ahead or make thicker, drain Greek yogurt on paper towels to absorb some liquid.
FLAG KEBAB CAKE1 pint fresh, washed black-berries12 wooden skewers1 seedless watermelon, flesh cut into 1-inch cubes1 angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes (white part only)dips, such as yogurt, choco-late, caramel or marshmallow (optional)Thread five blackberries on
each of five skewers, followed by alternating watermelon and cake cubes.
On the remaining skewers, alternate watermelon and cake so first and last cubes are water-melon. Place the skewers on a platter; the fruit and cake will create stars and stripes when lined properly.
Serve with dips, if desired.
PATRIOTIC FRUIT SALAD
1 watermelonhoneydewblueberriesSlice ¼ inch off bottom of
watermelon, lengthwise, to cre-ate stable base.
Use a pencil to draw zig-zag lines for the basket opening. Using a paring knife, make cuts through the rind.
Carefully remove the top sec-tion, pull out large chunks of flesh and cut them into 3-by-3-inch squares.
Trim ¾-inch thick slices off the squares to use for cutting out stars with 1½-3-inch, star-shaped cookie cutters.
Use an ice cream scoop to remove flesh from inside basket and cut the scoops into quar-ters for fruit salad. Place in the bottom of a basket. Add hon-eydew and blueberries; stir to combine.
Cut out white stripes from the honeydew.
Garnish the top of fruit salad with watermelon stars, honey-dew stripes and blueberries.

On Saturday, May 11, The ALS Association North Carolina Chapter will hold the 20th annu-al Down East Walk to Defeat ALS, starting and ending at Gate 5 of East Carolina University’s Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
Nearly 1,000 people annu-ally gather for the 2-mile stroll, which will start at 10 a.m.
The ALS Association’s pre-miere fundraising event, the Walk to Defeat ALS, raises money and awareness for the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive neurode-generative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
Often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” ALS robs peo-ple of the ability to walk, talk and eventually breathe. It traps them inside a body they no lon-ger can control.
In addition to a walk through Greenville neighborhoods, the Down East Walk to Defeat ALS will also feature music, food and kid-friendly activities.
The Down East Walk to Defeat ALS is one of six through-out North Carolina, which col-lectively raised $1.2 million last year.
East Carolina University has a close connection with the fatal disease.
Former ECU baseball coach Keith LeClair was diagnosed with ALS while coaching the Pirates and resigned due to the disease after the 2002 season. He died in 2006.
Professional Healthcare Inc., Stalls Medical, Med Emporium, Pepsi Bottling Ventures and
Harris Teeter are statewide sponsors of The Walk to Defeat ALS.
Money raised at the walk will benefit The ALS Association North Carolina Chapter, which focuses on helping people living with ALS in North Carolina and their families, as well as finding cures and treatments for the disease through research and advocacy.
The North Carolina chapter serves approximately 800 peo-ple living with ALS each year by supporting all of the state’s multidisciplinary ALS clinics, providing financial assistance to people living with ALS and operating support groups and a medical equipment loan pro-gram.
“There has been tremendous progress in the fight against ALS since the 2014 ALS Ice Bucket Challenge,” said Jerry Dawson, president and CEO of The ALS Association North Carolina Chapter in a recent press release. “The ALS Association has com-mitted more than $89 million to research since the Ice Bucket Challenge. There are more than 130 active or recruiting clinical trials right now. We are work-ing hard to keep the momen-tum going and will not rest until there is a cure. Our Walks to Defeat ALS enable us to provide support for people living with ALS now while continuing to fund global research.”
Registration for the Down East Walk to Defeat ALS starts at 9 a.m. For more information, visit alsnc.org, call 919-755-9001 or email [email protected].

The 29th annual Mile of Hope is an event to offer children suffering with cancer and their families a fun filled “get away” weekend at the beach.
The childhood cancer event is Friday-Sunday, May 10-12 in Atlantic Beach.
For the past 28 years, newly diagnosed cancer patients and families have enjoyed the Mile of Hope weekend.
Participating children are from all over eastern North Carolina, and they are being treated in the pediatric oncol-ogy departments of the hospi-tals at East Carolina University in Greenville, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and Duke University in Durham.
According to a release from the organization, the purpose of the Mile of Hope is to provide moral support to children with cancer to supplement the medi-cal services they are receiving.
The weekend also helps fami-lies of the children have an out-ing away from their routine vis-its to the hospital.
“The cost of care for a family dealing with childhood cancer is high, and most of the families do not have money left over to go on vacations. They usu-
ally spend all their time and efforts towards the child with cancer,” the release reads. “The Mile of Hope offers the diver-sion of a brief ‘get away’ from the daily trauma of dealing with childhood cancer. This event has touched the lives of hundreds of children suffering with cancer, their brothers, sisters, parents and caring volunteers.”
The Mile of Hope has been recognized locally, regionally, statewide and nationally for the benefits the event provides to the patients, as well as to their families.
The event will involve more than 100 children and family members enjoying a weekend of lodging, food and fun at the beach.
This year’s theme is “Treasure Island” and will feature sand sculpting and a sand sculpture demonstration by Sandy Feat, treasure hunting, fun at Lost Treasure Golf and Raceway, scuba diving demonstrations, touring the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and interact-ing with pirates.
For more information, con-tact Ed Moore at 919-819-1637, Jim Knight at 919-818-9059 or visit mileofhope.org.

SUDOKUHere’s How It Works:
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!

Cultures will unite when the Daraja Children’s Choir per-forms at several churches in
the county.The performances will be
held at 7 p.m. Friday, May
Daraja Children’s Choir to perform in county

10 at First United Methodist Church, 10 a.m. Sunday, May 12 at Life Church and 7 p.m. Monday, May 13 at Atlantic Missionary Baptist Church and will bring a message of joy and hope through African song and dance.
The Daraja team will be hosted by Life Church and opportunities to spend time with the Daraja Children are May 13 and Wednesday, May 15 during lunch from noon to 1 p.m. at Life Church’s Newport location.
Those who are planning to attend should bring a bag lunch.
A community potluck din-ner will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, May 14 at Life Church Newport.
According to a press release,
Daraja means “bridge” in Swahili, and the choir serves as a bridge to connect the people of Africa and America.
This is an opportunity for the children to learn and experience American culture, as many of them have never experienced life outside of their own country.
At the same time, Americans have the opportunity to hear their testimonies and experi-ence traditional African song and dance.
“Last year we sought to be a blessing to the children and the Daraja team, their enthusiasm and love for Jesus was so contagious, we were blessed far more than can be explained,” Pastor Matt Dymmel said in the release.
The Daraja Children’s Choir
is embarking on their 2019 U.S. tour, which includes a stop in Carteret County.
“In spite of dealing with unimaginable hardships, these children are overflowing with joy and love, which they are eager to share, as is evident in their performance,” the release continues.
The Daraja Children’s Choir is part of The 410 Bridge, which is a nonprofit commu-nity development organiza-tion that creates opportuni-ties for people to serve and walk alongside communities in Kenya, Haiti, Guatemala and Uganda while experiencing healthy, sustainable change.

The Beaufort Historical Association will be hosting author Deborah Van Dyken and illustrator Susan Mason at noon Wednesday, May 15 for a three-course, fam-ily-style luncheon at Clawson’s 1905 Restaurant on Front Street in Beaufort.
Ms. Van Dyken and Ms. Mason will make a presentation and answer questions about their chil-dren’s book, The Little Turkle.
Originally self-published in South Korea, the book sold 8,000 copies.
Recently Ms. Van Dyken and Ms. Mason decided to find a pub-lishing company and selected Blair Publishing Co. to work with.
During the presentation, they will discuss the process of self-publishing and marketing a book, as well as the challenges of finding a publishing company.
Inspired by the coastal sur-roundings of their home, Ms. Van Dyken and Ms. Mason created a picture book chronicling the jour-ney of Little Turkle from the beach to the waves.
This story of struggle and friend-ship is perfect for young readers, as well as those who are still young at heart, according to a release.
Animal conservation, marine wildlife and enduring friendships are woven into this tale of a baby turtle hatching and the journey that lies ahead of him.
Ms. Van Dyken has observed sea turtles on the coast for years and based the book on her obser-vations.

The Crystal Coast Quilters’ Guild will present its 34th Coastal Stars Judged Quilt Show Friday-Saturday, May 17-18 at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City.
The show is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Admission to the show is $8 for both days and children under 12 are admitted for free.
The show features approxi-mately 120 quilts, plus special exhibit quilts, a merchant’s mall, a silent auction, “Made in the USA” items and the queen size raffle quilt “Cotton Candy Cottage” made by the mem-bers.
Tickets for the raffle quilt may be purchased in advance from any guild member or at the show. Tickets are $1 each or six tickets for $5. The winning tick-ets will be drawn at 4:30 p.m. May 18. You do not have to be present to win.
The CCQG is a nonprofit orga-nization of quilters from Carteret and other nearby counties along the Crystal Coast.
Founded in 1982, the guild’s primary purpose is to build and maintain a productive and cre-ative environment for all who are interested in the art of quilting.
The guild provides continu-ing education through teaching, workshops and sharing informa-tion concerning all aspects of the quilting process.
The CCQG has a productive outreach program that supports various charities throughout the area.
Members have been making quilts annually for the Domestic Violence Center of Carteret
County and the Wounded Warrior Barracks at Camp Lejeune.
This past year, they added the Coastal Pregnancy Care Center, Ronald McDonald House in Greenville and started the Hurricane Florence Recovery Quilt Project.
This group of women made and donated the following quilts and gifts in 2018: 44 quilts, 16 stuffed owls, three stuffed sea turtles, 31 pillowcases, two cloth books and four hero quilts.
In addition to those 44 quilts, the members, over the past several weeks, have pieced, quilted and distributed more 70 quilts from Newport to Down East Carteret County residents.
Of these, 15 quilts were sent to Sea Level United Methodist Church, Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church in Newport and Newport Community Baptist Church.
In December, 18 quilts were delivered to the Morehead Middle School Blanket Drive. Future distributions are planned for 2019.
Guild membership is open to the public, and there are currently 60-65 women in the guild.
They meet the third Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. at Shepherd of the Sea Lutheran Church in Atlantic Beach.
CCQG invites those interested to join them at a meeting and learn how they can be a part of the organization.
For additional information, visit crystalcoastquiltersguild.org.
