New Show Honors Community

Carolina Creations Fine Art and Contemporary Craft Gallery at 317 Pollock St, in downtown New Bern welcomes its new show Food, Farm and Community with a reception from 5-8pm on Friday, Sept. 12, during ArtWalk. The show celebrates the work of the farmer and the artists love of the land and their community.

The show features work by four North Carolina artists, Sally Sutton, Janet Dixon, Brenda Behr and gallery owner Janet Francoeur.

The show will be on display until the end of October.

Sutton earned her bachelor’s degree from Cal State – Long Beach and a master’s degree in drawing and painting from ECU in 2013. Her works in this show were inspired by her visits to Raleigh Farmer’s Market.

Dixon has studied at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown, Mass., as well as with several nationally known artists. Like the other three artists in this show she works both in watercolors and oils. She concentrates on color relationships, patterns and light and shadow.

For Behr, painting is her second career. She earned a bachelor’s New Bern Magazine

degree in communication arts and design at Virginia Commonwealth University and for 33 years she worked in advertising.

She studied both oil and watercolor painting at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and has studied with many nationally known painters since. She paints every day, switching back and forth between oils and watercolors. She speaks for all of the artists the show when she says that she is more likely to paint in watercolors when her painting is about the subject matter, and more likely to paint in oils when light is the subject of the painting.

Francoeur has a bachelor’s degree in drawing and printmaking from Siena Heights University in Adrian, Mich. She too worked in commercial art for many years while showing her fine art through shows throughout Michigan, Ohio and Colorado. Prior to moving to New Bern in 1989 she worked in pen and ink. Being inspired by the beauty of Eastern North Carolina in the spring she has since added watercolor, oil, and ceramics to the mediums she uses.

For more information about the new show, contact the gallery at 252-633-4369 or email info@carolinacreations.com.

Arts Council Launches Music Series

The Craven Arts Council and Gallery welcomes its first concert in the new “At the Gallery” concert series at 7pm on Saturday, Sept. 27. The works of George and Ira Gershwin will be performed

by Maddy Winer and Bill Covington in the front gallery space of the Bank of the Arts, 317 Middle St. New Bern, NC. Tickets are $15 for members, $20 for nonmembers, and are available at Bank of the Arts. To learn more, call 252-638-2577.

Winer is known for her effortless interpretation and jazz styling of the Great American Songbook. Because of this, she’s the obvious choice to present the pillars of that Songbook – the Gershwins and Irving Berlin. Winer has recorded and toured with jazz legend Loonis McGlohon, but that’s just part of her 30 years of performances throughout the Eastern US and Canada.

Covington is a pianist at Asheville’s historic Grove Park Inn. Having played professionally for 20 years in North Carolina, New York and Nashville, Covington is probably best known for his focus on American classics and standards. Bill taught at Asheville Music School, Warren Wilson College and other schools in the region.

Throughout 2014 and 2015, there will be eight Saturday “At the Gallery” performances focusing on the works of: Johnny Mercer, Oct. 25; Duke Ellington, Nov. 22; Sammy Cahn, Jan. 24; Jerome Kern, Feb. 28; Irving Berlin, Mar. 28; Harold Arlen, Apr. 25; and Frank Loesser, May 30.

pleasing to the eye and the hand, to make things of beauty, be they utilitarian, vineware, barkware, stoneware, porcelain, or vapor glazed art pottery.

Austin Boleman studied at Columbia University and the Sorbonne, where he was indelibly impressed by the stained glass in the great cathedrals. He went on to become a stained glass artist until he was discovered by clay, and found his true passion.

Maud Boleman’s exposure to the world of art began in her childhood, visiting the museums of New York City, and continued through her studies at Nova Southeastern University, where she earned her degree in art education.

Fine Art at Baxters is located at 323 Pollock St. To learn more, call 252-634-9002 or visit www.fineartatbaxters.com.

Hoke Opens Concert Season

An evening of stories-in-song with a large dose of humor is on tap as Todd Hoke opens the Down East Folk Art Society’s 2014-15 concert season.

Clay Artist Displays at Baxters

The gallery at Fine Art at Baxters presents “Black Mountain Studios” featuring clay artists Austin and Maud Boleman. The work’s arrival will be celebrated during ArtWalk with a reception from 5-8pm on Friday, Sept. 12. The show runs through the end of October.

According to the artists, the purpose of the work at Black Mountain Studios is quite simple; it is to make objects that are Hoke’s laid back style creates a down home rocking-chair-onthe-porch atmosphere that makes you feel you have known him forever. Taking observations of life and interpreting them in his own unique manner, Hoke paints pictures of the world according to Hoke. Combining comedy with tragedy and often times throwing in a brutally witty comment, his songs are journeys you must experience.

Hoke earns his rent and beer money as a hospice nurse, has two dogs and a wife in Hendersonville, and is donating all proceeds from his new CD, “Southland” to the charity Feeding America. Now that’s something to sing about!

The performance is planned for Friday, Sept. 19 at the Trent River Coffee Co. Tickets are $15, general admission; $12, active duty and members; $8, students, and can purchased by calling 252-646-4657. For more information, visit downeastfolkarts.org.

of an apple with peanut butter). After the sugar and high carbohydrates, you will crash quickly, normally within an hour or two.

This can lead to crankiness, hunger and fatigue.

So what can you do to make a healthy lunch and not go over your budget? A farmer’s market is a great place to start. Buying fruits and vegetables in season is much cheaper than the food that has to be shipped 3-5,000 miles away. Many sites list what fruits and vegetables are in season so you can plan ahead. Listed below are ideas that you can use for a week, substituting as needed and mix and matching to keep lunches fun and exciting. Use fun tools such as cookie cutters for sandwiches.

Monday · Cube chicken and cheese and make kabobs · Mix together grape and star cut pineapple · Carrot sticks with hummus

Lunch time is a time where children are able to express their independence, especially when they are left to make their own decision on what to eat. Though our nation and school systems are working hard to improve the nutritional impact of school meals, the menus leave much to be desired. Fruits and vegetables are now offered daily, versus the pizza and French fries that used to consume the daily lunch menu. Time and money is certainly a factor when it comes to deciding if you can pack a lunch or have your child eat at school.

The same importance needs to be made when packing a lunch for your child. We are stuck in the instant gratification society so much, that the quick pick up of prepackaged food eases the mind and involves no work. Is the quick fix really the best option? A Ham & American Cracker Stackers Lunchables which includes: lean ham, American cheese, crackers, a fruit drink, and a fun size candy bar clocks in at 600 mg of sodium, 13 grams total fat, and 21 grams of sugar! That’s more sodium than 6 McDonald’s chicken nuggets, more fat than a value size French fry at Wendy’s, and more sugar than a Twinkie!

Proper fuel for your child will lead to better concentration and better development as they mature. Think of how you feel after a candy bar versus a meal of protein and a fruit or vegetable (think

Tuesday · Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut into hearts · Mix together sliced strawberries and blueberries · Cucumber slices with Italian vinaigrette Wednesday · Tuna salad with diced cucumbers · Apple slices · Celery with peanut butter Thursday · Shredded turkey and cheese wrap · Greek yogurt with sliced strawberries Friday · Homemade chicken salad with grapes and walnuts · Sliced orange · Tomato, cucumber, and fresh mozzarella salad Pack these lunches for yourself with your child and see how much more they will enjoy their healthy lunch!

Cherry Depart Branch Cherry 5:25 Branch 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.
