Celebrat ing

Years

Of HISTORY New Bern is throwing itself a party – and you’re invited! The highlight of a year-long celebration of the town’s 300th anniversary, the Jubilee is set for Sept. 1619, with a collection of educational and fun events for the entire family over a four day span.

“The 300th Jubilee is New Bern’s signature weekend for our year of celebrating,” said Linda Staunch of the 300th planning committee. “We’ve been making plans for months now and we’re very excited about how everything is coming together.”

While town residents are the official guests of honor, they will be joined by 100-125 of their closest friends from Bern and other Swiss cities, including Bern’s mayor.

New Bern Magazine

The town was founded in 1710 by Swiss and German explorers led by Baron Christopher de Graffenried from Bern, Switzerland. The second oldest town in the state, New Bern quickly became the residence of Gov. William Tryon, who constructed the historic Tryon Palace in 1770. Because of its connection to Switzerland, Bern and New Bern have formed a strong sister-city relationship.

The European contingency will surely be on hand to watch the Jubilee Flotilla follow the Trent River to downtown New Bern from the East Carolina Yacht Club. The waterfront will begin filling up early for the 8:30pm event on Thursday so everyone is urged to find their perfect spot. Blankets, chairs and other comfort items will be allowed.

Thursday also hosts the reenactment of the landmark Colonial case, Bayard versus Singleton. Planned for 1pm and 2:30pm, the case will be heard at the US Federal Courthouse on Middle Street and is sponsored by the Craven County Bar Association.

It’s Friday, however, when the Jubilee picks up its speed. From the opening of the Bern/ New Bern rotating exhibit at the NC History Education Center at Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens to a tribute performance of the NC Symphony and a fireworks display

on the lawn of the historic site, there’s a lot of fun to be found on Friday, Sept. 17.

The weekend continues with the Heritage Parade through the historic downtown streets at 10am Saturday, a cultural street fair, a free concert, Jubilation Ball and the communal ringing of the town’s many picturesque churches.

“We have so much going on that it will be difficult for someone to not find something they would like to do,” said Staunch.

“There’s a great parade with more than 20 floats and equally as many marching units, followed by a cultural festival at Union Point Park that will celebrate all the different cultures that make up New Bern today. Then we’ll move right into a public concert with the band Hot Sauce, sure to appeal to a young and lively audience.

It’s a well-rounded weekend. I’m looking forward to it” For reservations to the Bayard/Singleton reenactment, call 252-638-8558. For all other events, see newbern300.com or call 252-635-1710.

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.

RIVER CITY John Masters

Discussing QAR The New Bern Historical Society starts off its 2010-2011 Lunch and Learn series with an exciting speaker and topic relative to Eastern North Carolina history.

John Masters, director of Intersal, Inc., the organization that found what is believed to be the Queen Anne’s Revenge in Beaufort Inlet, will present a PowerPoint on the discovery. The program is planned for 11:30am on Wednesday, Sept. 15, at The Chelsea Restaurant.

Masters, director of operations for Intersal, Inc., son of its late founder Philip Masters, spent years helping his father research and hunt for shipwrecks in the Beaufort Inlet. Intersal donated QAR salvage rights to the state of North Carolina in 1998 and for the last dozen years has helped the NC Underwater Archeology Branch recover the wreck. After recovery and storage is complete, artifacts will undergo a lengthy process of cleaning, stabilization and

analysis that will culminate in public display and interpretation. The NC Maritime Museum, Beaufort, is designated as the primary exhibition facility for the QAR collection.

Educated in history and music at the University of Florida, Masters is working closely with state officials and archaeologists on the recovery of QAR. Masters became Intersal’s director of operations in 1999 and is project manager of the search for El Salvador, a 1750 Spanish merchant vessel lost near Beaufort Inlet. He presently resides in Gainesville, Fla. Prepaid reservations are required for this lunch lecture.

The cost is $15 for members; $17 for nonmembers and can by paid by calling 252-638-8558. Meal choices include seafood Newburg (shrimp, scallops, tomatoes/mushrooms in lobster sauce) or lemon chicken (sautéed chicken in lemon caper sauce).

Celebrating Founder’s Day As a further celebration of its 300th anniversary, New Bern will pay homage to its founding fathers at 10:45am on Saturday, Sept. 11.

Crowds will gather next to city hall to lay a wreath before moving to Christ Church Ministry Center on Middle Street for the memorial service.

The Swiss Consul General from Atlanta will be on hand during the ceremony to help recognize the founding families of 1710 and their descendents. The founder of New Bern, Baron Christopher de Graffenried, along with German Palatines and Swiss citizens, were the first to arrive in town. The founders’ direct descendents (cont. on page 16) New Bern Magazine

Chamber Music Festival Brings in the Classics The Carolina Chamber Music Festival will converge on New Bern, Sept. 21-26 for its 8th annual season. Founded and directed by harpist Anna Reinersman and cellist Jennifer Lucht – the CCMF will present four varied interactive programs in locations throughout downtown New Bern.

The festival is pleased to present the singing talents of dynamic TV and stage personality Ron Raines (widely known as Alan Spalding on the CBS show “Guiding Light”) alongside popular returning artists affiliated with leading organizations including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops and Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. The festival offers a variety of programs creating up close and personal concert experiences. With something for everyone – from delightful cabaret music to masterworks by Debussy and Copland – festival concerts are paired with interactive, entertaining events including post-concert “Meet the Artists” receptions, pre-concert discussions, and informal question-and-answer sessions with the artists.

The festival opens with a Classical Lunch on Tuesday, Sept. 21, a one-hour noontime event of beautiful music for the solo harp performed by Reinersman. Audiences are invited to enjoy the event from standard audience seating, or bring a lunch to enjoy with table seating at Bank of the Arts. Tickets are $15.

The festival continues with Classical Cabaret After Work on Thursday, Sept. 23. Baritone Ron Raines hosts and sings alongside returning 14

New Bern Magazine

CCMF musicians in a program of musical delights by Mozart, Gershwin, Bernstein and Rodgers and Hammerstein at Bank of the Arts. Tickets are $20.

The Carolina Chamber Music Festival concludes its ticketed September activities with a Celebration Concert on Saturday, Sept. 25. The concert features the world premiere of a romance inspired by New Bern personalities and the mystique of the Carolina Coast that was written especially to commemorate New Bern’s 300th anniversary. Written by Tony-nominated composer in residence, Jim Wann, the Celebration Concert includes a pre-concert panel discussion with Raines, Wann and Nelson McDaniel. Public Radio East personality Finley Woolston will be the panel’s moderator.

The concert will be held at First Baptist Church. Tickets are $25 general admission and $20 for students and seniors.

CCMF will also feature artists performing with local student musicians in the free annual Festive Family Concert on Sunday, Sept. 26.

To order tickets, call 252-626-5419, visit carolinachambermusic.org or stop

by Bank of the Arts. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door.

Little Toby Walker is bringing his unique blend of blues back to eastern North Carolina by popular demand. Walker will perform at 8pm on Friday, Sept. 10 at the Trent River Coffee Company in New Bern, thanks to the Down East FolkArts Society.

General admission is $15, $12 for society members and $8 for students.

Many years ago, a passion for the blues drove Walker from his Long Island home to the Deep South to work with such blues icons as R.L. Burnside, Etta Baker and “Son” Thomas. Master of many blues styles, he brings a dash of Delta, a pinch of Piedmont and even an undercurrent of Chicago. Audiences are astounded by his fingerpicking, entertained by humorous stories and delighted by performances that stay with them long after the encores have faded away.

For additional information, or to purchase tickets, call 252-633-6444 or visit downeastfolkarts.org.

The Pamlico Musical Society kicks off the season at 7:30pm on Saturday, Sept.

25 at the Old Theater in Oriental with a concert featuring Di Wu, a classical pianist.

After New York performances the Wall Street Journal praised her as “a most mature and sensitive pianist.” Though only 25 years old, Chinese-born Di Wu’s reputation as an elegant yet exciting musician continues to grow. A piano prodigy, she debuted at 14 with the Beijing Philharmonic. She left China to come to the United States where she was magnificently trained, studying at the Manhattan School of Music, Curtis Institute and graduating from Juilliard.

During 2009 she made her New York Alice Tully Hall recital debut as winner of Juilliard’s prestigious Petscheck Piano Award, was named Artist of the Month by Musicalamerica.com, and was awarded (cont. on page 28)

Historic Bike Ride Thousands of Cyclists Expected

The Eastern North Carolina Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is returning to New Bern, Sept. 11-12 for its 2010 Bike MS: Historic New Bern Ride – a fundraiser that brought in some $1.7 million in its last outing for the MS Society. This year’s goal is $1.8 million.

More than 2,800 participants are expected to attend the 22nd annual event. Bike MS proceeds are used to fund research, programs, services, education and advocacy for the more than 5,000 individuals living with multiple sclerosis in eastern North Carolina.

“Our staff is thrilled to have this opportunity to celebrate alongside New Bern, a town that has propelled the multiple sclerosis cause forward,” says Haley Transou, Bike MS Manager. “Throughout the past 10 years, the New Bern community has rallied together in a remarkable way, and they deserve much of the credit for the tremendous MS research successes we are experiencing. We are honored to be included in the 300th anniversary celebrations, and encourage all community members to join us in our efforts to create a world free of multiple sclerosis.”

The TriCentury Cyclers, a group forming to honor the town’s anniversary, is currently recruiting for a team of 300+ cyclists and volunteers, with a fundraising goal of $1,000 for each team member. Cyclists of all ages and expertise levels are encouraged to register and help commemorate the town while raising funds for those 18

New Bern Magazine

living with multiple sclerosis.

Bike MS is the largest organized cycling series in the country. More than 100,000 cyclists participate in more than 100 rides across the US. Unlike a racing event, Bike MS is designed to provide a scenic, challenging ride for both the experienced cyclist and the energetic novice. Bike MS includes fully-stocked rest stops with bike mechanics, support and gear vehicles along the route in case of mechanical problems; and dinner with live entertainment at the end of the day. The event is complemented by a schedule of community rides set to begin in the spring.

To learn more about the event, or to register, visit msbike.org or call 1800-FIGHT-MS. Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Every hour in the US, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system.

Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis.

The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the US and 2.5 million worldwide.

ARTS Francoeur on Display Carolina Creations Fine Art and Contemporary Craft Gallery in downtown New Bern features the artwork of Janet Francoeur during September and October.

Janet and her husband Michael moved to New Bern in 1989 and she has been painting New Bern ever since. After having worked in ink for 20 years, her arrival in New Bern marked a turning point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she began to add color to her pieces. Watercolors, then clay followed, and now acrylic and oils.

For this show she has created paintings in all those mediums depicting the

downtown she knows and loves. A new skyline featuring the new Trent River Bridge and the 300 block of Pollock Street in watercolor, a Tryon Palace Garden and the Commission House in acrylic and the 200 block of Pollock in oil are a few of the pieces sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s created in the past few months for this show.

The artist has a degree in drawing and printmaking from Siena Heights College, Adrian, Mich. She has won many awards and her work is in many collections such as the Western History Collection of the Denver Public Library, John Hancock Insurance, First South Bank and the Michigan Historical Society, to name a few.

Experimenting with plein air painting has helped Francoeur to become more impressionistic with her work, which is evident with the new show.

Opening night will be held during the Downtown New Bern ArtWalk on Friday, Sept. 10. A reception with the artist is slated from 5-8pm. Refreshments will be served.

Carolina Creations is open seven days a week. To learn more about the show, call 252-633-4369 or visit carolinacreations.com.

Exploring The Lore and Lure of Oriental In a place where boats outnumber its residents nearly three to one, the town of Oriental is a sailor’s refuge perched along the Neuse River.

Before “orienting” itself to a new name in 1899, Oriental was known as Smith’s Creek. The original name lacked pizzazz for citizens, so a new name was coined by the wife of Oriental’s founder and first postmaster, Lou Midyette.

Midyette’s wife saw the name on the transom name board of a Union Steamship that sank 33 miles north of Hatteras, near Bodie Island, in 1862. The name board washed ashore and was displayed a few years later at a residence in Manteo she happened to be visiting.

Boats are not just a part of Oriental’s history. Labeled the sailing capital of North Carolina, it’s common to find residents and visitors kayaking, fishing and sailing year round. Nearly 5,000- 6,000 sailors come in to port each year from the Intracoastal Waterway, with the Oriental Cup Regatta in September or the Neuse River Solo Race in October being among the biggest draws.

The town boasts a plethora of activities on the water, a wealth of award-winning artisans, an active musical society, a theater group and a thriving community spirit.

Find out more about the waterfront town at the Oriental History Museum at 802 Broad St. in Village Square. The museum features items of interest for all ages and is currently open Friday, 11am-3pm, Saturday, noon–4pm and Sunday, 1-4pm.

The year-round ferry, which carries 30 cars, docks at Minnesott Beach, which is just a 10-mile scenic drive to Oriental. For confirmation or additional information, call 1-800-BY-FERRY or visit ncferry.org.

of scientific exploration, Doktor Kaboom keeps his audience riveted with interest and rolling with laughter whilst exploring scientific content that ties directly into mandated curriculum standards. Join him for a sidesplitting journey of increasingly spectacular, and often successful, experiments and demonstrations.

Tickets are $15 for the public and $13 for theater members. Special discounts are available for school-age students. Pick up tickets at Croakertown or the box office in Oriental and Bank of the Arts in New Bern. For additional information, email info@oldtheater.org.

Featuring the music of Thomas “Fats” Waller and based on the idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby Jr., the musical celebrates the musical soul of 1930s Harlem, tracing the Harlem Renaissance and the Golden Age of venues such as The Cotton Club and The Savoy Ballroom. It’s a rollicking, finger-snapping revue that pays tribute to the black musicians of the era and centers on the music and the character of Waller, one of the most prolific musicians of the time.

This Tony Award Winning musical features a cast of five performers who encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller’s view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play. The show will be produced by Kathy Polozzi and Charles Coakley will serve as music director.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $22 at the door and $7 for open seating on preview night, Sept. 9. Shows begin at 8pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances and at 2pm each Sunday.

The much-anticipated third installment of the “Tuna” comedy trilogy will make its debut at New Bern’s historic Masonic Theatre, Sept. 2-5. “Red, White & Tuna” will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening at 8pm, with a Sunday matinee slated for 3pm.

Produced by Paul and Patsy White, who previously produced “Greater Tuna” and “A Tuna Christmas,” the newest installment takes the audience through another satirical ride into the hearts and minds of the polyester-clad citizens of Texas’ third smallest town. Along with Tuna’s perennial favorites, some new Tuna denizens

Dennis McCool & Rick Stephenson burst into the Fourth of July Tuna High School class reunion, setting the stage for a show full of fireworks and fun from the land where the Lions Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies.

All 20 characters in the production will be played by Dennis McCool and Rick Stephenson. The pair has performed together for about 20 years in dramas and comedies alike.

Advance tickets are $15 at Bank of the Arts, and will be $18 at the door. Details: 252-638-2577 or cravenarts.org.

‘Simply Divided’ in Oriental “Simply Divided,” a Southern comedy

by Jeff Lovett, will make its world debut in Oriental at The Old Theater. Presented by the Oriental Repertory Company, performances begin at 7:30pm on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 17-18. Tickets are $12 and $10 for theater members.

Times are hard in Simply, Ala., the men have packed up and moved to work at a nearby truck plant and the women in the town are alarmed … especially the ones who spend their days at the Simply Delicious Diner. They complain about their

failed love lives, past and present, and barely tolerate D’Ellen Chambers, the town’s four-time-divorced “cougar,” who complains the loudest.

When a handsome new stranger moves to Simply, the women begin to compete for his attention. With plenty of verbal jousting (cattiness on steroids), plot twists and a sprinkling of quirky supporting characters, “Simply Divided” feels like spending an evening with old friends!

Advance tickets can be purchased in Oriental at the theater box office or Croakertown and at Bank of the Arts, New Bern.

Exploring

Nestled on Hwy 70 between Morehead City and New Bern, Havelock is best known as the home to 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 throughout the day, 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 from the 1858 joining of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroads. A depot was built at the crossing and named for accomplished British General Henry Havelock, who had gained popularity at the time for rescuing hostages during a bloody uprising in India. In addition to this community adopting Havelock as its moniker, seven other cities in the world share the general’s namesake.

Apart from being a railroad depot, Havelock distinguished itself by being a popular hunting and fishing destination in the late 1800s and on through the early 1930s.

Even baseball legends Babe Ruth and Christie Mathewson came down to hunt 26

New Bern Magazine

and visit. Photo albums still exist with pictures of these two greats in hunting gear, posing with locals.

The 1940s and World War II brought with them MCAS Cherry Point. Havelock’s population exploded and with it came economic prosperity for local businesses. Before the MCAS was established, the community housed a modest population of 100 or less. Now, approximately 22,500 people call Havelock home. 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.

Havelock enjoys visitors year round due to annual events like the NC Chili Festival in the fall and the MCAS Cherry Point Air Show held each June, along with natural attractions such as the Croatan National Forest and the Neuse River.
