Changes are coming for BHA eventChanges are coming for BHA eventBY MEGAN SOULT
NEWS-TIMES
This year, one of the Beaufort Historical Association’s biggest fundraisers is getting a make-over.
What was the Beaufort Old Homes & Gardens Tour and Antique Show & Sale is now the Old Homes Tour & More.
The event is Friday-Saturday, June 22-23.
This year, there are many new events added to the lineup, as well as the homes and gar-dens tour. Unlike years before, there will be no antique show, and according to BHA executive director Patricia Suggs, the deci-sion was tough to make.
“Ultimately it came down to a financial decision. With the many activities going on in Beaufort for the Old Homes Tour, it was very hard to do a good job with both events,” Ms. Suggs said in a release.
Luckily, those who are inter-ested in the antiques will still be able to enjoy the show, as J.R. Angevine from DeLand, Fla., will take it over.
It will be renamed the Morehead City Antiques Show and Sale and will run Friday-Sunday, June 22-24, at the Crystal Coast Civic Center.
“It’s a win/win situation for the Beaufort Historical Association to be able to cross-promote this event and build on it for our many visitors to have plenty to see and do while they are in Carteret County,” Ms. Suggs said.
For those who want to see more antiques, a part of this year’s tour is the home of Judy and Tom Boone. Mr. Boone and his brother own Boone’s Antiques in Wilson.
There are several events lead-
ing up to the tour.New this year, on Wednesday,
June 20, will be a noon lun-cheon at the Coral Bay Club in Atlantic Beach for New York Times best selling author Mary Alice Monroe, featuring her lat-est book, Beach House Reunion, as well as Beaufort’s own best selling author, Kristy Woodson Harvey, with her new book, The Secret to Southern Charm. Tickets are $40 and will be avail-able for purchase.
That night, a special VIP Dinner for Ms. Monroe will be held at Beaufort Grocery Co., where guests can have dinner and get to know the author. Tickets are $125.
On Thursday, June 21, a free evening concert and reception will be held at Purvis Chapel fea-turing the Purvis Chapel choir. The concert is a way to thank the volunteers who participate in the event, as well as the honorary chairmen, Charles and Patricia Phillips.
The concert is free and open to the public.
The next day, the tour starts. It is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $20 per person and are good for both days of the tour.
This year there will be 12 homes on the tour, both historic and modern:• The Fishhouse circa 1940s,
2111 Front St., owned by Faye Styron Brown.• The home of Susan and Joe Johnson, 204 Marsh St.• The Dickinson House circa 1918, 115 Marsh St., owned by Camie and Jack Sweeny.• The Blare House, circa 1779, 111 Marsh St., home of Brook and Chas Maloy.• The Conch House, 301 Broad St., home of Summer and David Spense.• The Piver House, circa 1821, 304 Orange St., home of Walk Silva and Laura Benson.• The home of Monica Hunter and Robert Harper, 1020 Broad St.• The Owens-Bedford Home,
circa 1730, 113 Live Oak St., home of Bill and Donna Harmatuck.• The Home of Jean and Peter Williams, 1309 Front St.• The home of Sheila and Mark Carpenter, 1609 Front St.• The home of Mr. and Ms. Boone, 105 Gallants Landing.• The James H. Potter Jr. House, circa 1910, 712 Ann St., home of John Cartner.
To end the tour, the new event, Art of Elegance Brunch, is at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 24.
Charles and Deborah Llewellyn will host a champagne brunch in their backyard garden featur-ing New York interior designer Marshall Watson.
Mr. Watson will entertain guests with stories from his book, The Art of Elegance: Classic Interiors. Tickets for this event are $75.
Ms. Suggs said she looks for-ward to the changes with this year’s event.
“This year marks a real change for the tour, with authors fea-tured instead of antiques,” she said. “So instead of doing the exact same things we’ve always done, we felt this year was a great time for something new and different.
“Exactly one half of the houses are new this year, and we’ve found as we’ve gradually added a few new houses that the younger generation is more interested in those houses and especially in the design trends of today.”
All tickets for the Old Homes Tour & More events can be pur-chased online at www.beaufor-thisotricsite.org, by calling the Beaufort Historic Site at 252-728-5225 or stopping by the welcome center at 130 Turner St.

Family fun, insight in sprightly ‘Incredibles 2’Family fun, insight in sprightly ‘Incredibles 2’(AP photo)
BY LINDSEY BAHR ASSOCIATED PRESS
“The Incredibles” writer/director Brad Bird has said that his characters’ powers are all born of stereotypes. Dad is strong, mom is stretched in a million directions, teenage girls put up shields, little boys are full of boundless energy and babies are unpredictable. It’s why he decided that for the sequel, “Incredibles 2,” a buoy-ant and quick-witted romp, he’d pick up right where we left off, in that parking lot after Dash’s track meet where a new threat emerges from underground. No matter that in reality, 14 years had actually passed. Animation is not bound by time or aging actors.
For the rest of us, however, 14 years is still 14 years. And in the past 14 years, the business of Hollywood has become the business of superhero movies.
It’s hard to remember a time when there weren’t a dozen a year. But when “The Incredibles” came out in 2004, they were still a bit of an anomaly at the
multiplex – its cheeky, mocku-mentary realism, its jokes about capes, secret identities, “mono-logue-ing” and the dangers of toxic, obsessive fandom was the perfect introduction (and indoc-trination) to superheroes for those who couldn’t care less. Pixar magic made superhero believers out of the skeptics. And by 2008, we all thought, sure, let’s see about this Tony Stark fellow and someone called Iron Man.
In “Incredibles 2,” it seems like Mr. Bird himself is wrestling with a culture he helped facili-tate – not totally dissimilar to what Steven Spielberg did ear-lier this year in “Ready Player One.” But instead of nostalgia on trial, it’s superheroes and screens.
The villain here is called Screenslaver, who uses screens to hypnotize anyone watching. It’s both the most retro plan of all (keeping with Mr. Bird’s love of the 1960s aesthetic) and still somehow utterly modern. Annoyed by how blindly and wholly consumerist everyone
has become at the mercy of screens and simulated expe-riences in lieu of real ones, from movies to video games, Screenslaver has set out to end that, and squash Municiberg’s dependence on and obsession with superheroes. As with the first, there are a million ideas at play here (not a flaw, by the way), including evolving family dynamics.
Most of the original voice cast has returned, including Craig T. Nelson as Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible, Holly Hunter as Helen Parr/Elastigirl, Mr. Bird as Edna Mode, Sarah Vowell as Violet Parr and Samuel L. Jackson as Lucius Best/Frozone (the only slight change in the main players is that Dash Parr is now voiced by Huck Milner). And once again, superheroes are still on shaky ground in Municiberg and are put on ice after the Parr family accidental-ly damages some public prop-erty while trying to take down a criminal.
But a wealthy heir and superhero appreciator Winston
Deavor (Bob Odenkirk) and his tech savvy sister Evelyn (Catherine Keener) have a plan to rehabilitate their image. Right now, the public only sees the destruction. The Deavors propose outfitting superheroes with body cams to get exciting footage of their feats.
“Incredibles 2” provides a bit of a corrective on a micro level to the first film’s gender politics by sending mom off to work and making dad stay home (although wasn’t that a little antiquated 35 years ago?). The animation is also a heck of a lot better. “The Incredibles” looks downright primitive and even a tad ugly in retrospect.
Although it gets off to a slow start, ultimately it’s also quite a bit of fun, from the absurd (Jack Jack’s burgeoning powers) to the grounded (Dad helping Dash with his math homework or trying to make up for getting in the way of Violet’s date and embarrassing her even further in the process).
Like “Ready Player One,” however, “Incredibles 2,” kind
of loses the thread by the end. A villain is a villain no matter how salient their point, and Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl and their offspring are our heroes and thus we must root for them even while thinking that Screenslaver might be on to something.
It’s still fun to watch smart storytellers like Mr. Bird work-ing within the system and using his platform to self-evaluate or comment on what’s going on, even if the conclusion is a little flimsy. Mr. Bird could have eas-ily just brought back his lovable characters, leaned on Jack Jack’s antics and cashed in the check. It makes the effort and care here seem even more incredible.
“Incredibles 2,” a Walt Disney Pictures release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “action sequences and some brief mild language.” Running time: 118 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Farm Service Agency Farm Service Agency will accept nominations soonwill accept nominations soonThe U.S. Department
of Agriculture encourages America’s farmers and ranchers to nominate candidates to lead, serve and represent their com-munity on their local county committee.
According to USDA’s Farm Service Agency County Executive Director Amy Coffey, FSA will accept nominations for county committee members beginning Friday, June 15.
Producers across the coun-try are already serving on committees where they play a critical role in the day-to-
day operations of FSA, making decisions on programs dealing with disaster and conservation, emergencies, commodity loan price support, county office employment and other agricul-tural issues.
“County committees are unique to FSA and allow produc-ers to have a voice on federal farm program implementation at the local level,” Ms. Coffey said. “It is also important that committees are comprised of members who fairly represent the diverse demographics of production agriculture for their
community. I encourage all producers, including women, minority and beginning farm-ers and ranchers, to participate in the nomination and election process.”
Nationwide, more than 7,700 dedicated farmers and ranchers serve on FSA county commit-tees, which consist of three to 11 members and meet once a month or as needed. Members serve three-year terms.
Producers can nomi-nate themselves or others. Organizations, including those representing beginning farm-
ers, women and minority pro-ducers, may also nominate can-didates to better serve their communities.
To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, produc-ers must participate or coop-erate in an FSA program and reside in the area where the election is being held.
This year, nominations and elections for Carteret County will be held in local Administrative Area 5, which includes Newport, Morehead City, Beaufort, Harlowe and Merrimon.
To be considered, a producer must sign an FSA-669A nomina-tion form. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are avail-able at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections or from the Craven-Carteret FSA office.
All nomination forms for the 2018 election must be post-marked or received in the local FSA office by Wednesday, Aug. 1. Visit farmers.gov for more information.
Election ballots will be mailed to eligible voters beginning Monday, Nov. 5.
Tobacco farming is subject of Tobacco farming is subject of lectureThe Swansboro Area Heritage
Center will host a “Tobacco Talk” by North Carolina author Billy Yeargin at 7 p.m. Friday, June 15, at the museum, 502 W. Church St. in Swansboro.
Mr. Yeargin has written on the subject, “North Carolina Tobacco, a History” and is a historian who lectures and teaches southern culture at
Duke University at Johnston Community College. The talk will describe the industry and methods of the past and will invite audience participation.
Tobacco farming was a pre-mier agricultural crop in eastern North Carolina and is still pro-duced in the eastern part of the state. Many who grew up here spent their summers “cropping”
or “priming” (picking tobacco leaves) and earning money for school clothes in the fall.
The public is invited to share memories of tobacco farming when most of the work was done by hand.
For more information, call Ann vonHoorn at 860-671-1278.

American Legion to host walk for veterans
American Legion Morehead City Post 46 will sponsor an awareness walk for veterans at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 16, at Garner Park in Pine Knoll Shores.
The purpose is to raise public awareness of important issues facing veterans and their fami-lies.
In 2015, the American Legion National Commander instituted this awareness walk to highlight the need for continued support for the nation’s veterans.
Since then, thousands of vet-erans, their family members and concerned citizens have partici-pated and have gained aware-ness of issues facing today’s veterans.
In addition, they have become more involved in help-ing veterans through local pro-grams and by contacting their Congressional representatives and asking for their support on bills that help veterans.
The opening ceremony of the awareness walk will be at 10 a.m., and will include comments from the Post Commander, U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. John Sotirkys and Pine Knoll Shores Mayor Ken Jones, as well as the national anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance and an opening prayer.
The walk will begin immedi-ately following the opening cer-emony at approximately 10:15 a.m.
The length of the walk is approximately one mile and will start and end at Garner Park. Proceeds will ben-efit the American Legion’s National Emergency Fund and other national, state and local American Legion programs. A
complete list will be provided in the walk packet.
Golf carts, bicycles and pets on leashes are welcome. Following the walk, registered participants are invited to stay for a free picnic lunch and draw-ing for door prizes.
Also, for as long as the food holds out, nonregistered visitors may join in the picnic lunch for a small donation.
Nonregistered visitors may also purchase door prize tickets for $3 each.
The registration fee for par-ticipants is $15, which includes a Walk for Veterans T-shirt, door prize drawing ticket, small American flag and flag and W4V decals.
Detailed information packets will be available about American Legion Post 46, current legisla-tion before congress that affects veterans and their families, as well as local veterans’ issues and local, state and national programs that Post 46 actively supports.
Those who have not prereg-istered may sign up between 9 and 10 a.m. at Garner Park.
Walk packets will be available for all participants during this time, and registration fees will be collected.
For more information about the American Legion Walk for Veterans or to preregister, please visit the Facebook page, AmericanLegionMoreheadCityPost46, or email [email protected].
Participants are encouraged to wear their Walk for Veterans T-shirt, and other patriotic cloth-ing and decorations are encour-aged.
Saturday, June 16, Cru Wine Bar will host a Pride celebration with a drag and variety show.
The event is from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., and tickets are $10 and will be on sale at the Cru Bar. This is a 21-and-up event only.
There is sure to be high-ener-gy fun, dancing, queens, kings and pole aerial performers.

During the event, Ms. Gorr’s artwork, including origi-nal oil paintings, framed and unframed prints, will be for sale.
Ms. Smith said the sale would last for at least a month.
Ms. Gorr left a lasting impression on those she came in contact with, according to a release.
“She was certainly one of the most cheery, heartfelt peo-ple I’ve ever met. Her interests were so varied. She did some fabulous, interesting pieces,” Ms. Smith said. “She was also a fabulous musician.
“Everything she did had tre-mendous meaning. She has a lot of stories along with her artwork. She was always mix-ing up music and art and every-thing she could pull into it. She
was always willing to share and be open with everybody who wanted to talk about it. She was a gentle, loving soul, who loved art. Art was her pas-sion and that’s what she did. She’s always been an artist,” Ms. Smith continued.
According to her obituary, Ms. Gorr was born and raised with her twin sister, Louise Eisenbeis, in Mt. Lebanon, Pa.
She graduated with a degree in psychology from Carnegie Mellon University, then mar-ried Dr. Walter Gorr, DDS, and raised their sons in Pittsburgh.
There, she co-founded the West Hills Art League and was once featured on “Saturday Night Live” with her “Steelers fire hydrants.”
In the 1980s, she moved to Morehead City to fish and paint.
