Bern Seafood Twice a Week
Keep Heart & Health at Their Peak Tired of your doctor giving you that same old “be healthy, eat healthy” speech? Well, meeting that challenge is as simple as adding seafood to your diet twice a week. The new and improved Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that all Americans, including pregnant women, eat at least two servings (eight ounces) of seafood every week. The guidelines are updated every four years by the US Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) and the US Dept. for Health and Human Services (HHS). Wondering how you’ll manage fitting seafood into your diet twice a week? Look no further than the nutrient filled, protein packed, super shellfish – shrimp. “To incorporate more seafood into your diet, use familiar recipes and swap out the same
old protein for seafood like shrimp,” said Jennifer McGuire, MS, RD, National Fisheries Institute. “For example, shrimp is the perfect addition in pasta dishes, salads and sandwiches. And, to make your family’s diet seafood-rich, think beyond lunch and dinner. Add shrimp to an omelet for breakfast or to a panini for an afternoon snack for the kids.” Sure to benefit your heart and health, one three-ounce serving of shrimp contains just 100 calories and less than two grams of fat, while also delivering healthy omega-3s and a whopping 20 grams of protein. Learn more about the health benefits of shrimp and find more, easy, delicious recipes at eatshrimp.com, visit the Shrimp Council on Facebook and find purveyors of Eastern North Carolina shrimp at carteretcatch.org.

Rinse shrimp and drain in colander. In large pot, boil water for pasta. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and reduce heat to low. Sauté garlic until soft. Add shrimp and cook uncovered for approximately 5 minutes on each side, until shrimp turns pink. Remove from heat and reserve. In separate saucepan, heat marinara sauce and season to taste with crushed red pepper. Add shrimp to marinara sauce and keep warm. Add pasta to boiling water and cook for three minutes. Drain pasta and place in serving dish. Top with shrimp and marinara sauce. Recipe Courtesy of: The Shrimp Council and “Bob & Joe’s Smart Seafood Guide, A Practical Look at Seafood.”

RIVER CITY Experimentation by Peggy Krofchick
Twin Rivers Artists on Display
Works by members of the Twin River Artists Association (TRAA) are on exhibit through the end of August at the Duffy Exhibit Gallery of the NC History Center at Tryon Palace. The Duffy Gallery is the primary exhibit space for the Craven Arts Council & Gallery (CAC&G) while renovations continue at the Bank of the Arts on Middle Street. When that facility reopens in September, however, exhibits will continue at both facilities. This year’s juror for the TRAA show was Janet Francoeur, a distinguished local artist and owner of Carolina Creations. Francoeur selected art to be included in the show and also selected all prize-winning works, with the exception of the People’s Choice Award. Each visitor is invited to vote for his or her favorite work, and the award-winner is announced after the exhibit closes at the end of August.
Cat Island, MS, ca. 1880 by Bill Henson
New Bern Magazine
The TRAA show is always a favorite for its range of artwork, and invariably there’s something to appeal to every viewer. TRAA has more than 100 member artists, whose works span painters in all media, sculptors, potters, woodworkers, fiber artists, jewelers and metalworkers. The Duffy Gallery is open 9am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and noon-5pm on Sunday. Contact CAC&G at 252-638-2577 or visit www.cravenarts.org for more information.

In a place where boats outnumber its residents nearly three to one, the town of Oriental is a sailor’s refuge tucked away along the Neuse River, which oddly enough, earned its named from a Union Steamship that sank 33 miles north of Hatteras, near Bodie Island. The wife of Oriental’s founder and first postmaster, Lou Midyette, 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. 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, many for the collection of regattas held throughout the year. The town boasts a plethora of activities, a wealth of award-winning artisans, an active music scene, a theater group and a thriving community spirit. 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.
Nestled along Hwy 70 between Morehead City and New Bern, Havelock is best known as the home of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, now the largest air station in the world. From its landmark Harrier plane propped up halfway through town to the thundering sounds of passing jets, there is no mistaking the presence and effect the air station has on Havelock’s visitors and residents. A small community started in the mid-1800s, Havelock grew, in part, because of the union between Atlantic and North Carolina railroads. A depot was built at the crossing and named after British Gen. Henry Havelock. The 1940s and World War II brought with them MCAS Cherry Point and Havelock’s population exploded, from about 100 to approximately 22,500 people. Havelock enjoys visitors year round, with annual events like its NC Chili Festival and the Cherry Point Air Show, held each year in June, and natural attractions such as the Croatan National Forest and Neuse River.

Exploring Tucked away on the banks of the Neuse River, the city of New Bern offers the comforts of a modern riverside city with a historic tradition that dates back to Colonial times. 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.” While providing shopping and dining experiences on par with other major cities, New Bern maintains the spirit and feel of a small town. Visitors can explore 150 historic landmarks, many of which date back to the 18th century. The revitalized historic district offers visitors a variety of shops, galleries, restaurants and historic homes. Tryon Palace is one of New Bern’s most popular historic sites. Completed in 1770, Tryon Palace was built by British Governor William Tryon and served as the capital building in the later 1700s when New Bern was North Carolina’s capital. Tryon Palace hosted many famous people, including George Washington.

New Bern is also famed for a late 1800s pharmacist named Caleb Bradham. Bradham mixed syrup of coca, kola nut extracts and rare oils with carbonated water to create the fizzy beverage known today as Pepsi Cola.

Social Media Helps Fundraising Efforts Social media has largely changed the way people communicate with one another. People can now instantly share thoughts and opinions with people on the other side of the globe. The prevalence of social media has also made it easier for charities to share a mission statement or message -- like a call to volunteer or submit a donation. The global reach of social media is impressive. Sources including Google, Mac World, Socialnomics and Pingdom cite some amazing statistics with regard to the reach of social media, including: • One in every nine people on Earth is on Facebook. • People spend 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook. • YouTube has generated 450 million unique users who visit every month. The site also boasts 92 billion page views per month. • Twitter handles around 190 million tweets per day. • Google+ was the fastest social network to reach 10 million, doing so in just 16 days. • During an average 20-minute period registered in 2010 on Facebook, there were 580,000 wall posts, 2,716,000 photos uploaded and 10,208,000 comments posted. To enable information flow to people via social media, nonprofits should create a social media presence. One of the easiest ways to do so is to start a Facebook fan page or establish a Twitter following. Because people may become annoyed by organizations that constantly try to push products or solicit donations via social media, it is important to balance out the content shared with fans. Keep the ratio close to 80/20, which means there should be 80 percent of generic informative information offered with 20 percent of donation/volunteerism messaging. To keep people coming back for more, engage them on a level that goes beyond simply asking for help. Publish information on topics that are interesting, some of which pertains to the charitable organization itself and some 12
New Bern Magazine
that are just newsworthy. People are very interested in the personal stories of “survivors” or those helped by organizations. Offering testimonials or tales from these people will lend credibility to your nonprofit as well. Social media also helps make anyone who is using it feel more connected on a personal level than a corporate website or an information hotline. It may reduce inhibitions about contacting a charity if it seems like the organization’s members are willing to “chat” via social media. Experts advise that charities should use social networks as a way to connect with users through real stories, conversations and interactions. Communication isn’t always most effective when information is disseminated strictly by organizations. A good portion of donations and volunteerism is initiated by individuals who have a stake in a specific cause. For example, a mother to autistic children may encourage Facebook friends to participate in a specific fundraising walk or make a donation to a charity of choice. Because of this personal appeal, this type of outreach may be one of the most effective ways charities put social media to use. Nonprofits and other organizations should not overlook the effectiveness of social media to share a special message in a relatively short amount of time with people around the world.
