Plan Ahead for Independence Day The Fourth of July is a holiday usually celebrated with friends and family taking advantage of the summer weather outdoors. There are plenty of opportunities throughout Craven County to gather your friends and family to watch some fireworks. From the historical to outdoor concerts, there’s something for everyone. In 1783, North Carolina Governor Alexander Martin became the first American governor to issue a state order for celebrating the 4th of July. Step back in time and join the festivities of one of the earliest celebrations of independence with Tryon Palace’s annual event, The Glorious Fourth. Enjoy a day full of patriotic speeches, dancing, games and kid’s crafts. Bring a picnic lunch and spend the day immersed in the past. The event runs from 10am-7pm on Friday, July 4th with special activities scheduled from 10am-3pm, including a Fife & Drum performance and the reading of the Declaration of Independence in the Palace Courtyard at 11am. There is free garden admission from 9am-7pm, but interior tours require the purchase of a ticket. For more information, call 252-639-3500. New Bern Magazine
Fourth New Bern Parks and Recreation Dept. hosts a Fourth of July celebration from 5-9:30pm at Lawson Creek Park. This event features a reading of The Declaration of Independence, activities for kids and vendors. Gaylon Pope and Sweetwater are headlining as the musical entertainment with their variety show, “A Sweet Taste of Country, Good Time Oldies, Gospel & Down Home Humor,” from 7:30-9pm. It all culminates in a brilliant fireworks display at 9. Coolers and service animals are welcome, but no alcohol, glass containers, fireworks or other pets are allowed. Just a little ways down the road, Havelock hosts the Freedom Festival at Havelock City Park. The festival is complete with fair style games, live entertainment throughout the evening, the 2nd Marine Air Wing Band, food, plenty of fun, and a fireworks display at 9pm. This event includes several contests ranging from an egg relay race and a two-legged race to a hula hoop contest and a pie eating contest. The festivities begin at 5pm and continue throughout the evening. Pamlico County and Oriental celebrate independence a little differently with the annual Croaker Festival, held the first weekend of July. Since July 4, 1980, this festival, its volunteers and its sponsors have provided an event where families can come and enjoy an old fashioned family Independence Day celebration. This year’s festival is slated for July 4-5.
For the original Croaker Festival, the Oriental Women’s Club put on the three-day event complete with a fishing contest. It was done in the spirit of benefiting the Pamlico County non-profits. Through the years, it has ebbed and flowed with each group of volunteers that have worked to put it together, but the purpose has remained the same. Grab some tasty treats at Lou-Mac Park and be sure to try the desserts on Friday, all of which are products of the baking contest. Take your pick of baked goods at 6pm on Friday from some the talented bakers of Pamlico County. Other confections available throughout the duration of the festival include shaved ice, crab cakes, shrimp sandwiches, all kinds of ice cream, pulled pork, classic fair food and even vegan options at Princeton’s Cool Corner. The second day of the festival starts off with the Croaker Festival Parade at 10am. The lineup includes decorated floats, vintage cars, patiotic and service groups, fire engines and, of course, the Croaker Queen and her court. Booths can be found down South Avenue and Lou-Mac Park with a variety of wares from clothing and furniture to pottery and jewelry. The Kids Fun Park and live music will be available throughout both days. For more information and a full schedule, visit croakerfestival.org. Whether you decide to stay in and barbeque or venture out to the festivals and events, have a happy and safe Independence Day! New Bern Magazine
ARTS affairs Interactive Exhibit Opens
Art meets human experience in a singular, interactive installation exhibit opening on Friday, July 11 at the Bank of the Arts. “Stories,” created by the Cogs and Wheels Project, premiers with a reception during ArtWalk from 5-8pm and continues through the end of August. The installation includes pages of individual human experiences suspended from a system of open grids. The goal is to stimulate greater empathy. The public is invited to participate in “Stories” in up to three ways. Visitors can submit a short story anonymously of a defining moment in your own life at cogsandwheels.org or at collection boxes at the Bank of the Arts or at the New Bern, Vanceboro or Havelock libraries. Visitors can come and experience the exhibit, and they can empathize with the writer by responding in notebooks set up on sculpture stands. Stories may rotate in or out during the length of the exhibit as new ones are received. The Cogs and Wheels Project is an ongoing initiative for confronting local and relevant 21st century challenges through the fine arts. For more information, contact the Craven Arts Council at cravenarts@cravenarts.org or call the Bank of the Arts at 252638-2577.

‘Tarzan’ Swings Onstage
New Bern Civic Theatre presents “Tarzan” for its July show. The story has been around for nearly 100 years, but the Broadway musical, featuring music by Phil Collins, is more than old-fashioned monkey business. Catch the show at 7:30pm on July 11-12 and 18-19 or the matinee at 2pm on July 13 and 20. Presented by NBCT’s entire teen group, Tarzan’s story unfolds when a shipwreck leaves an infant orphaned on the West African shore. The helpless baby is taken under the protection of a gorilla tribe and becomes part of their family. When he eventually encounters his first human, Jane Porter, both their lives are changed forever. Tickets are $17 in advance, $19 at the door and $10 for students and active duty military. Purchase tickets by calling 252-633-0567 or by ordering online at www. newberncivictheatre.org. Call 252-634-9057 for more information.

A founding member and NC Ambassador of the Portrait Society of America, Winner was taught in Rome, Florence, Switzerland and the United States. Winner’s portraits and murals hang in corporations, universities and residences on both sides of the ocean. Her portraits and paintings in oil, pastel, watercolor and acrylic have won national and international recognitions and awards. These include a silver medal in the International Association of Pastel Societies Biennial and “Best in Show” in the Richeson 75 International Portrait and Figure competition.

Plein Air Works on Display
Carolina Creations Fine Art Gallery is hosting a new show titled “A Sense of Place,” displaying works by plein air artists Dan Nelson and Mike Rooney. The show opens during ArtWalk, 5-8pm on Friday, July 11. Both artists will attend the opening reception. Rooney is one of Eastern North Carolina’s favorite impressionist painters. His work can be seen in galleries up and down the coast from Key West to the Cape. He primarily works in oils and coastal scenes are his favorite subject to paint. A native of Alexandria, Va., he studied art at Virginia Commonwealth University before joining the armed forces. The Air Force brought him to North Carolina in 1977 and after three years and a tour in Korea, he opened a sign business in Goldsboro. He rediscovered his passion for painting after seeing California-style impressionism in a surfing magazine. So Rooney picked up some oil colors, a canvas and a few books on plein air painting. Dan Nelson was born in Canada, raised in Michigan and lived in several other states before settling in North Carolina. He received a bachelor’s degree from Calvin College, then spent the next 15 years as a commercial illustrator doing more than 4,000
Which Way Do I Go?

The Army Band promises to deliver a “pops” concert filled with military marches, contemporary music, classical and patriotic tunes, all just in time for your Fourth of July Celebrations. Join the band on the South Lawn at 7pm on Thursday, July 3. The 440th Army Band has served as the state’s National Guard Band under several designations since the early 1900s. The band was activated in World War II as the 30th Infantry Division Band along with the rest of the NC National Guard as the “Old Hickory Division.” The band served with distinction landing on the beach at Normandy and fighting in the Battle of the Bulge, for which the band carries honors awarded by France and Belgium. The band was re-designated the 440th Army Band in 1973 and currently performs for troops and their families, and for the citizens of North Carolina at ceremonies, public concerts and parades. The 440th Army Band is comprised of citizen soldiers, who in civilian life are college students, educators, businessmen and women and professional people. The 440th currently has 34 members and is now commanded by Chief Warrant Officer/CW2 Linda R. Horton. CW2 Horton is the first female and African American commander of the 440th Army Band. In her civilian life, she is supervisor for the NC National Guard’s Human Resource Office. Tryon Palace recommends bringing chairs and blankets for this outdoor event, but leave pets and alcoholic beverages at home. For more information, visit www.tryonpalace.org.

We should be eating no less than five cups of fruits and vegetables daily, making sure we consume more vegetables than fruits. Vegetables, most of the time, are lower in calories, lower in sugar and higher in vitamins and minerals. In 2009 (the last recorded poll), 79 percent of adults in North Carolina ate FEWER than 5 cups of fruits and vegetables daily. What counts as a serving? A serving may not be as large as you expect and paying attention to portion size can help keep your waistline under control. Examples of one cup serving of fruit – one small apple, one large banana, eight large strawberries, two large or three small plums. One-half cup of fruit could be 16 grapes, one medium wedge of cantaloupe, or one small box of raisins. Examples of one cup of vegetables include one large bell pepper, two large stalks of celery, or one cup cooked or two cups raw leafy greens. One-half cup servings of vegetables include five broccoli florets or six baby carrots. Why is it important to consume fruits and vegetables? Fruits and vegetables give us: • Fiber • Minerals and vitamins Eating fiber is a great way to increase health. Fiber takes the body longer to digest and can help you feel full longer, resulting in less frequent overeating. Overeating less often will allow you to keep weight and body fat percentages to a manageable level. People diagnosed with diabetes, as everyone also would, benefit from insoluble fiber as it slows the absorption of sugar into the blood stream. Dried figs provide a high amount of insoluble fiber. Males should eat 30 or more grams of fiber per day and women should eat 20 or more grams per day. One medium artichoke can provide 10 grams of fiber! Other high sources of fruits and vegetables include: one cup raspberries (8 grams), pear with skin (5.5 grams) or cooked green peas (8 grams). Taking a multi-vitamin is a great way to provide the body vitamins and minerals. The body will best respond to vitamins and minerals 14 New Bern Magazine
when eaten as food. Meeting the daily recommended doses of vitamins and minerals can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Eating your vitamins and minerals will improve your immune system and help cells and organs in the body perform the best they can. Women who are planning to start a family will benefit from meeting vitamin and mineral goals to help prevent birth defects. Vitamins and minerals have added benefits such as carotenoids from orange vegetables help you see better; vitamin K in green leafy vegetables will help the blood clot if injured; or antioxidants from purple and blue foods will help the body defend against cancers. Having trouble eating your fruits and vegetables or have a child who has trouble eating fruits and vegetables? Try these quick and easy recipes to incorporate more servings into your or their daily eating habits. Sweet Potato Pancake 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 2 eggs 1 1/2 cup sweet potato 1 3/4 cup milk 3 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Mix together the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients in separate bowls.

EXPLORE oriental The town of Oriental is a sailor’s refuge tucked away along the Neuse River. Oriental earned its name from a Union Steamship that sank 33 miles north of Hatteras. The wife of Oriental’s founder and first postmaster is said to have seen the transom of the vessel displayed years later at a home in Manteo and found it to be the ideal name for their little waterside hamlet. In Oriental, boats outnumber people nearly three to one. Boats are not just a part of Oriental’s history, they define it. Labeled the Sailing Capital of North Carolina, it’s common to find residents and visitors kayaking, fishing and sailing year round. Nearly 5-6,000 sailors come in to port each year from the Intracoastal Waterway. While it’s best known as homeport to some of the East Coast’s finest sailing, Oriental also offers exceptional opportunities for cycling, paddling, hunting, golfing and a number of other activities. Most importantly, Oriental offers friendly, small-town charm. The year-round ferry, which carries 30 cars, docks at Minnesott Beach, just 10 miles from Oriental, making it accessible to points east and west.
EXPLORE havelock Havelock can be found nestled on Hwy 70 between historic New Bern and the beaches of the Crystal Coast. The town has a rich military history and is currently home to the largest Marine Corps air station in the world, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. When the North Carolina and Atlantic railroads came to a crossroads in 1858, the depot was named for Sir Henry Havelock, a British general who had gained popularity at the time for rescuing hostages during a bloody uprising in India. The city’s military history continued as it became an important Union foothold in the capture of New Bern and Fort Macon during the Civil War. The production of naval materials including tar and turpentine were important to the town’s early economy until the invention of the steam engine. The 1940s and World War II brought with them MCAS Cherry Point. Havelock’s population boomed and with it came economic prosperity for local businesses. Since then, Havelock has enjoyed a strong relationship with Cherry Point and those who serve on the base, which is one of the largest employers of both Craven and neighboring Carteret County.

EXPLORE new bern
Located where the Trent and Neuse rivers meet, the City of New Bern offers the comforts of a modern riverside city with a historic tradition that dates back to colonial times. From art galleries to theaters and music venues to the NC History Center, this city has plenty of options when it comes to learning and experiencing new things. In 1710, Swiss baron Christopher de Graffenried founded New Bern as the second-oldest town in North Carolina, naming the city after Bern, the Swiss capital. The bear proudly displayed throughout the city comes from the Swiss city’s name, taken from the German word “bären,” or “bears.” Tryon Palace, New Bern’s most popular historic landmark, was completed in 1770 as the British colonial government house. After the Revolution, it was used as the first state capitol of newly independent North Carolina. The palace has hosted many famous people, including George Washington. Aside from the palace, New Bern contains more than 160 historic landmarks and four historic districts. Homes, stores and churches in the districts date back to the early eighteenth century. New Bern is also famed for a late 1800s pharmacist named Caleb Bradham, who mixed a syrup of coca, kola nut extracts and rare oils with carbonated water to create the fizzy beverage known today as Pepsi-Cola. The revitalized historic district offers visitors a variety of shops, galleries, restaurants and inns making this area a hub of activity. With outdoor events at Union Point Park, historic exhibits at the NC History Center, the bi-weekly farmers market and events celebrating local and regional artists such as ArtWalk and ARTcrawl, there’s always plenty for visitors and locals to explore.
