Review: ‘Turn Up Charlie’ a solid maybe

Have a Netflix night

BINGEWORTHY?

BY MEGAN LEWISTWM

So, there’s nothing really new about “Turn Up Charlie,” the story of a has-been who “lucks” into a position watch-ing a spoiled brat whose rich parents have no time for her.

However, when you throw in Idris Elba as Charlie and a promising performance by newcomer Frankie Hervey as the precocious Gabrielle, there’s just enough there to make you feel like maybe you should try another episode…not to mention the way the pilot ends.

Additionally, much of the humor seems to be on point, and young Frankie pulls off her role with charm and snark that suggest viewers could expect big things from her. Of course, that’s far less predictable than the plot.

Likely, Charlie will get his second chance thanks to the connection he’ll no doubt make with Gabby. As his unlikely “Super Nanny” powers – that will be written off as basic common sense (like parenting is that easy) – slowly transform the so-called brat into the charming little girl she’s actu-ally always been, her parents will be wowed and change as well. Through their gratitude, especially as Gabby’s mom works in the same field where Charlie’s dreams lie wasting away, Charlie will be hooked back into those dreams and then have to choose between success and the girl who got him there who snuck into his heart along the way.

Sorry for the spoilers. Of course, the writers could throw that out the window.

Despite the seeming pre-

dictability of the plot set up in the pilot, the strong perfor-mances and humor save the day, so if the writers do as well with the next episodes, there may be hope yet. After all, it’s considerably more rare to see this sort of storyline stretched out over a series than bound in the confines of a two-hour, child-friendly movie.

Speaking of child-friendly, this series certainly is not. It’s rated TV-MA, but that might be a tad conservative. Watch each episode ahead of time and make a decision. This one could be okay for teenagers.

It could definitely be worth it. The show has the potential to be a real winner if it can escape the droll future seem-ingly lined up for it.

The N.C. Aquariums are in the running for USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Award for best aquarium, and everyone’s vote counts.

The aquariums are asking for visitor support by going online and voting for the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice travel award contest.

Vote once per day for your favorite until voting ends at noon Monday, April 22.

“I am honored and find great satisfaction that our staff’s efforts are being rec-ognized in such a way,” said Maylon White, director of the N.C. Aquariums, in a recent press release. “This is such an

awesome way to acknowledge the hard work and care that every staff member and vol-unteer puts in to what they do every day.”

After being selected by a panel of experts, the N.C. Aquariums, which includes aquariums at Fort Fisher, Pine Knoll Shores and Roanoke Island, as well as Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head, are com-peting head-to-head with big names like The Florida Aquarium, Georgia Aquarium, Monterrey Bay Aquarium and National Aquarium in Baltimore.

Last year, the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores placed

ninth in the nation.“There are so many extraor-

dinary Association of Zoos and Aquariums members on this list,” Ms. White said. “We are honored to be in such esteemed company. All of these aquariums do such great work in conservation. I think this nomination recog-nizes how North Carolina has stepped up to the national level focusing on animal care and conservation.”

The N.C. Aquariums and Jennette’s Pier sit nestled in coastal areas, surrounded by the beauty and vitality of sounds and wetlands. Each location serves as a living

illustration of the connection to the natural world, accord-ing to the release.

The 10Best Readers’ Choice Award contest launches new categories every other Monday at noon, revealing each category’s 20 nominees.

The contest closed after four weeks of voting. On the Friday after voting ends, win-ners are revealed.

Rules allow the public the right to vote online for one nominee per category, per day.

Nominees for all categories are chosen by a panel of rel-evant experts which include a combination of editors from USA Today, editors from

10Best.com, relevant expert contributors and sources for both companies and other Gannett properties.

The nomination panel for each award category is dis-played on its associated con-test page. All voting is digi-tal and the 10Best Readers’ Choice Award contest is accessible on the 10Best.com website.

Participants can vote for the N.C. Aquariums at 10best.c o m /a w a r d s / t ra v e l / b e s t-aquarium-2019/.

For more information about the N.C. Aquariums, visit ncaquariums.com or call 252-247-4003.

Floyd’s 1921 Restaurant & Catering will host the Carteret Community College Student Art Exposition Tuesday through Sunday, April 28.

An opening reception host-ed by the restaurant will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. April 23.

Artwork on display was

created by students enrolled in the Associate in Fine Arts: Visual Arts and Photographic Technology programs.

For the week, patrons of Floyd’s 1921 will experience art in the form of photogra-phy, drawing, computer art, print making and 2- and 3-D design.

CCC student art exhibition to be held at Floyd’s

Lori Hayes writes romantic women’s fiction about the local area with a sense of small-town living, friendships and commu-nity, as well as about the wild horses on Shackleford Banks.

She will discuss these topics at an upcoming book signing.

The book signing is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, April 18 at Beach Book Mart, 1010 West Fort Macon Road in Atlantic Beach.

Ms. Hayes has written two books under the name of “Lori Hayes,” The Search and The Coffee Break.

In The Search, readers follow the story of Claire Kincaid.

According to the book synop-sis, “after her mother’s death, Claire’s desire for family leads her to the coast to find her long-lost father. Instead, she finds herself stranded on an island with a threatening storm, a sus-picious man roaming the dunes,

and a dangerous confrontation with a wild stallion.

“When wildlife biologist and park ranger Jeff Rhoades, who is engaged to Claire’s popular landlady, is sent to rescue Claire, he discovers his attraction to Claire makes him question his commitment to his fiancée. To make matters worse, he secretly searches for her father, against her will…”

According to the book syn-opsis for The Coffee Break, “Tension begins to percolate when coffee shop owner, Jenni Stallings, struggles to keep the doors of her beloved shop open. She wants to earn her dying father’s approval, to convince him that she is financially secure so he can die peacefully. She also strives to win the mara-thon, Run for the Horses, to benefit the nearby wild islander ponies.

“When bank vice president

and old high school crush, Scott Botticelli, temporarily moves back to the small, seaside town, he threatens to reject her much-needed loan. When he takes up running, she realiz-es he has rediscovered his pas-sion for the sport, and for her. Despite the fact he holds the power to squelch her dreams, a romantic interest starts to

brew between them…”Ms. Hayes lives with her fam-

ily in North Carolina.She is also a professional pho-

tographer, and the wild horses of Shackleford Banks are her passion. Her work can be viewed at LoriHayesPhotography.com.

More information on her books can be found at LoriHayesAuthor.com.

As well as The Search and The Coffee Break, she writes girls’ fiction with one book about the wild horses of Shackleford Banks.

Her books can be found online at Amazon, in Scuttlebutt - Nautical Books and Bounty in downtown Beaufort, Beach Book Mart in Atlantic Beach and at LoriHayesAuthor.com.

Patrons attend a past opening day of the Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market at Courthouse Square in Beaufort. The market will open for a new season at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, April 20. (Dylan Ray photo)

BY MEGAN SOULTNEWS-TIMES

Spring is here, and with it comes opening day for the Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market.

The market kicks off its season at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 20 at Courthouse Square in Beaufort.

To start the season, OBFM is celebrating Earth Day. The open-ing day will be all about the envi-ronment.

“The OBFM takes care of our environment seriously as this is an important part of keeping the planet, our own beautiful coastal environment, and its land and ocean inhabitants healthy,” Cindy Bunch, OBFM manager, said.

Opening day participants include the Crystal Coast Waterkeeper, the Citizens Climate Lobby, the Sierra Club and the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter, among other local service groups.

“The market vendors will be onboard (for) the Earth Day cele-bration by creating booth displays which inform shoppers of their practices, methods and materials chosen with care for the environ-ment in mind and all are encour-aged to reduce, reuse, and recy-cle,” Ms. Bunch said.

Those with the market also aim to eliminate single-use plastic, an

initiative they started last year. Visitors to the market can

purchase bright yellow reusable shopping bags for $1. The bag features the OBFM logo and aims to help reduce single-use plastics.

“A mass of white tents deco-rated for Earth Day will be filled with folks bustling with the joyous energy of this highly anticipated community event,” Ms. Bunch said.

At 9:30 a.m. local government officials will cut the opening day ribbon and ride through the mar-ket in a golf cart parade.

There will also be games, chil-dren’s activities, music, food, yoga on the grounds and “good ole hometown community fun.”

Organizers almost had to find a new home for this season follow-ing a lawsuit last year.

On June 17, 2018, Forsyth County resident Carol Dillon alleg-edly fell while visiting the market. A lawsuit, in which the prelimi-nary filings named the county as a defendant, followed.

This prompted county officials to end the relationship with the farmers’ market; however, county commissioners and the market reached an agreement to keep the market at Courthouse Square.

Ms. Bunch said she was thrilled to maintain the spot at Courthouse Square.

Market to open for season April 20

“The OBFM is very happy that we were able to reach an agree-ment with the county commis-sioners and the county manage-ment to keep the farmers’ market on the courthouse square,” Ms. Bunch said in an email interview. “I believe that in the end, every-one realized the value of the mar-ket to our community and made decisions that worked in the best interest of the vendors and all our citizens. All legal matters have been resolved to the satisfaction of the parties and in doing so the market protected itself and the county.”

According to Ms. Bunch, Courthouse Square has histori-cally been a place for farmers to sell their produce since the 1700s. The OBFM follows that tradition.

“Continuing this tradition for the market’s 7th year in this spot is quite satisfying and appropri-ate,” she said.

As for the rest of the season, there are big plans afloat.

There will be two dinners at Harborside Park.

The first, happening Thursday, May 23, will be a farm to table

dinner, which will highlight fresh, locally grown vegetables and meats raised by market farmers, along with homemade breads and desserts made by the mar-ket’s featured bakers.

The dinner will start at 6 p.m. and includes live music and alco-holic beverages.

The second dinner, the Sea to Table Dinner, will be held Thursday, Oct. 3 and feature homegrown vegetables, home-made bread and desserts and fresh seafood caught locally by market fishermen.

Tickets for these events can be purchased online at oldebeau-fortfarmersmarket.org or at the market Saturday mornings begin-ning May 4.

A special anniversary market will be held this season, as well.

The market will celebrate 200 events, and to mark the occasion there will be a special market Saturday, July 27.

This market will feature a pig pickin’ with other homemade side dishes, games for children and adults and other special activities.

The Memorial Day weekend market, which is Saturday, May 25, will be held on Middle Lane in downtown Beaufort.

“This festive market always brings out lots of folks from all over who are in town for the holi-day weekend,” Ms. Bunch said.

Ms. Bunch said she is looking forward to a strong season with high vendor participation. This is the first market season since Hurricane Florence made land-fall in September 2018. Many vendors were affected by the storm.

“Thankfully the market vendors are rebounding from the storm and all are back onboard for this coming up season,” Ms. Bunch said. “Some are still misplaced or continuing to make repairs to their homes, studios, greenhouses and other farm structures, but since in many cases the market provides a large part of their income, they are coming back strong and more excited than ever to be a part of the OBFM.

“Participation is actually up from last year and we have sev-eral new farmers, food producers and artisans who have joined the vendor family,” she continued.

Ms. Bunch said there are approximately 58 vendors who participate in the market either every Saturday or frequently.

“They keep coming back not only because of the business they do, but also because they sim-ply enjoy interacting with folks, sharing their passion for their work with the appreciative and supportive shoppers who come through the market, some almost every Saturday,” Ms. Bunch said.

As opening day approaches, Ms. Bunch said she hopes people will enjoy all the market has to offer.

Croatan High School will pres-ent “Peter Pan The Musical” in the Croatan High School audi-torium.

The performances start at 7 p.m. Thursday-Friday, April 18-19 and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, April 20.

Based on J.M. Barrie’s classic tale and featuring an unforget-table score by Morris “Moose” Charlap and Jule Styne, with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, “Peter Pan” has been consid-ered one of the most beloved and frequently performed fam-ily favorites of all time.

This high-flying, Tony Award-winning musical has been per-formed around the world and delighted audiences for 60 years.

In the production, Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick Tinkerbell visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical jour-ney across the stars that none of them will ever forget.

In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Native American tribe, a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.

When asked what he was the

most excited for about the show, director Ashton Humphrey said, “Just like everyone else, I am so excited for the flying. We were fortunate to be able to have an awesome flying director from Philadelphia travel all the way to Croatan to install all the tracks, pulleys, wires and ropes in our auditorium and train us to fly. It looks amazing.”

Many of the cast members are looking forward to the show, as well.

“I’m really excited to perform this amazing show with my best friends, create unforgettable memories, and show off all of our hard work to the audience,” said Caity Lenthall, who is play-ing Peter Pan.

Featuring the iconic songs, “I’m Flying,” “I’ve Gotta Crow,” “I Won’t Grow Up” and “Never Never Land,” as well as a rousing per-formance full of magic, warmth and adventure, “Peter Pan” is the perfect show for the child in all of us who dreams of soaring high and never growing up.

Tickets are $7 for students and children and $10 for adults. Reserved seating tickets can be purchased online at events.t i cketpr int ing .com/event/ChsPeterPan-32706 or general seating tickets can be purchased at the door before each show.
