Museum to host retreats at Oyster HouseBY MEGAN SOULT
NEWS-TIMESThe Core Sound Waterfowl
Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island is preparing to host a series of programs with a focus on topics related to many of the Down East communities.
Each program offers a stay in the Oyster House along North River. It is a private location that is open for a select group of edu-cation, arts and marine science organizations.
“We hope everyone recognizes the uniqueness of these oppor-tunities, the quality of the pre-senters and the once-in-a-lifetime experience these Oyster House weekends will be,” said Karen Amspacher, executive director for the museum.
The programs are limited to six participants, so an early registra-tion is recommended by calling the museum at 252-728-1500.
First up in the program series is “Ecological Wonders of Down East.”
It runs Friday-Sunday, Sept. 16-18. Move in is at noon Friday, and the trip concludes at noon Sunday.
The cost is $425, and the regis-tration deadline is Tuesday.
This program is dedicated to
exploring the natural treasures of Cape Lookout.
Jess Hawkins, a marine biolo-gist for more than 30 years and
licensed captain, and his wife Diane are owners of the Crystal Coast Ecotours. They have part-nered with the museum staff for this getaway program.
Participants will interact with

BY SANDY COHEN
ASSOCIATED PRESSEven if you guess the twist
in “Morgan” early on, the title character is still an interesting one.
Played by relative newcomer Anya Taylor-Joy, Morgan is enig-matic and otherworldly, at once childlike and wise. She’s also an expensive, top-secret experi-ment, and she appears to be malfunctioning.
This debut feature from Luke Scott – produced by his Oscar-nominated dad, Ridley Scott – is a sci-fi tale about artificial intelligence. Morgan is a bioen-gineered being made from syn-thetic DNA, a lab-grown crea-ture that looks like a delicate teenage girl.
Movies have long been
interested in genetically or mechanically enhanced human-oids, whether as killers (“The Terminator”) or companions (“Her,” “Ex-Machina”). Morgan is something in between.
With whitened eyebrows and a non-human sheen to her skin, Ms. Taylor-Joy brings the char-acter convincingly to life with a mix of gentle innocence and robotic indifference. She is the most compelling aspect of the film.
Unfortunately, the screenplay by Seth Owen follows a predict-able and action-packed path rather than one that explores what is ostensibly its central question: Can technology repli-cate human emotions?
The story starts with Morgan unexpectedly attacking one of
her handlers. The violent misbe-havior draws corporate fixer Lee Weathers (Kate Mara) to the secret lab where Morgan was made – an underground bunker in the middle of nowhere – to assess the experiment’s ongo-ing viability.
Ms. Weathers is strictly busi-ness, emotionless and humor-less in a slim-fitting black suit. She’s coolly distant as she interviews the team of scien-tists who’ve been living at the isolated lab for years monitor-ing Morgan’s every move. The group is like family, to Morgan and to each other.
Jennifer Jason Leigh plays the attacked caretaker, who insists Morgan “has joy in her heart.”
Ms. Weathers is unsympa-thetic and corporate-minded.
To her, Morgan “is not a she. It’s an it.” Ms. Weathers is so detached and job-focused, she’s like a different species.
Though Michelle Yeoh and Toby Jones co-star as Morgan’s creators, and Paul Giamatti makes a memorable if brief appearance as a psychiatrist who examines the “hybrid bio-logical organism,” Ms. Taylor-Joy steals her every scene. Ms. Whether limited by screenplay or execution, Mara doesn’t manage the depth with Ms. Weathers that Ms. Taylor-Joy brings to Morgan.
Both actresses deliver, though, in their spectacular fight scenes. Ms. Weathers and Morgan are much stronger than their tiny frames would sug-gest, and it’s exciting to see
two petite women executing the kind of fight choreography usually reserved for big male superheroes.
Still, the predictable twist hampers the story’s suspense, and the film doesn’t dip beyond the superficial. It hints at the cost of denying emotions and suggests some redemptive magic in nature but never fin-ishes the thought.
As a character, Morgan could have been a vehicle to explore so much more. Ms. Taylor-Joy is clearly capable, and establishes herself here as one to watch.
“Morgan,” a 20th Century Fox release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “brutal violence and some language.” Running time: 92 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Tips to keep eating on track:Even if one has mastered the art of a
smart workday lunch and can pick the most nutritious items on a restaurant menu like a pro, eating healthy at home is an unex-pected downfall many people face.
When one finds the chance to take a break from the busy pace of life and spend some time at home, it can be easy to slip into an all-indulgence mindset. Just remember that doesn’t have to mean going all-out on junk food.
Enjoy the comforts of home and keep eating on track with these help-ful tips.
When spending time with familyIt’s easy to catch a carefree spirit while
one is running the bases in an impromptu game of backyard baseball or being tempt-ed by yet another imaginary dessert from
the kiddie kitchen. When playtime winds down for dinner, there’s no reason for the fun to stop. Have children get hands-on to help assemble a healthy meal everyone can enjoy. Skip the cutting, peeling and mess by using Dole Jarred Fruit to prepare salads, desserts and even main dishes that satisfy the whole family’s sweet tooth.
When tackling choresFrom seasonal landscaping to the myr-
iad projects one has been putting off, the list of chores around the house may seem never-ending. Remember to stay hydrated, especially when working outdoors, and be sure to make time to eat, even if it’s just a quick bite to keep fueled. Air-popped crackers and hummus is a smart alterna-tive to chips and dip, or get a pick-me-up from a handful of nuts and a serving of sweet, juicy fruit.
When you want to be a couch potato
When a new TV season begins this fall, keep the guilty pleasure in check with quick, healthy dishes to enjoy while watching favorite shows. Keep the kitchen stocked with ingredients such as high qual-ity, ready-to-eat Dole Jarred Fruit to create quick and easy snacks with a serving of fruit in between episodes or during a com-mercial break.
Sweet TreatsTickle taste buds with these tricks that
transform a kitchen staple like jarred fruit into a tasty treat: • Brighten up bland yogurt or frozen waffles with a serving of jarred fruit, such as sliced peaches or mandarin oranges.• Dip jarred pineapple chunks in melted chocolate and pop them in the freezer until hardened.• Top a serving of jarred tropical fruit with coconut flakes for an island escape.
ORANGE CHIPOTLE AVOCADO TOASTTotal time: 10 minutesServings: 11 slice whole wheat bread½ avocado, diced or smashedsalt pepper1/3 cup Dole Mandarin Oranges, drained½ teaspoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped¼ limeLightly toast whole-wheat bread and
top with diced avocado. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
In medium bowl, toss oranges with chipotle peppers.
Spoon oranges over avocado toast and finish with a squeeze of lime.
Tip: For spicier toast, include pep-per seeds. For more mild heat, remove seeds. A sprinkle of chili pepper can also be used to add spice.
ASIAN CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPSTotal time: 15 minutesServings: 1½ cup refrigerated cooked chicken breast strips2 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves½ cup Dole Mandarin Oranges, drained2 teaspoons slivered almonds1 tablespoon light Asian salad dress-ingDivide chicken equally inside two
lettuce leaves, making two wraps.Add ¼ cup of Dole Mandarin Oranges
and 1 teaspoon slivered almonds into each wrap.
Serve lettuce wraps with light Asian salad dressing for dipping.

The Alive at Five concert origi-nally scheduled for Sept. 2 was rescheduled due to the threat of Tropical Storm Hermine. The con-cert is at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, at Jaycee Park.
North Tower has been one of the South’s great party bands for more than 30 years, providing the best in oldies and beach.
Sizzling brass, super vocals, and a wide-ranging repertoire all contribute to making this event
that promises to be a night to remember.
North Tower began in 1975 as an A capella quartet, by a group of friends who attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The name of the group represents an area of the Old East dormitory, where some of the members lived.
The group shared a common appreciation of intricate four-part vocal harmonies and quickly gar-
Alive at Five North Tower Band scheduled to perform Sept. 9
nered praise for their performanc-es around the Triangle area. The focus on strong vocals became a hallmark of the North Tower tradi-tion, which continues today.
Gary Dennis, who was a mem-ber of the North Tower Quartet, and Doug Manning, a Raleigh-based musician and vocalist, were playing in a Top 40 band called Carolina Trace in 1979, when they decided to form a new Beach Top 40 and show group.
They decided to retain the North Tower name and called the new group The North Tower Band.
Their original act was a 1950s routine called “Tom Ed White and The Comets.” The expanded group began touring the mid-Atlantic states performing a mix of hits from the current charts, as well as classics from the past.
This move proved successful, and the group decided to pur-sue the music business full-time in 1980.
Throughout the ‘80s, the band continued to establish itself as one of the most popular acts in the Southeast. The band was known for its floor shows, which included a celebration of the 1950s, a trib-ute to the musical genius of the Motown-era, a tribute to Frankie Valli, and a spoof of the Oak Ridge Boys, a popular country group from the 1980s. The band also entered the beach music market by recording several singles that received regional airplay.
The success of their early recordings led to the release of a project called “Let’s Go ‘Round Again” in 1989. That recording contained “Paula,” an original tune by members Mr. Manning and Bob Craig, which received the Original Song of the Year award at the 1989 Beach Music Awards.
Even in 1991, an era when grun-ge and rap were king, clients and audiences alike loved the brass. The group made several long trips in the 1990s taking the party to New York, Montreal, Tampa and Phoenix, to name a few places, as well as continuing to perform
numerous dates a year in Virginia and the Carolinas.
In 2004, the band released the studio album “It’s About Time.” The album featured the monster beach hit, “Chasin’ Dreams.” The song stayed at the top of the beach music charts for several months.
For more about the band, visit www.northtowerband.com.
There will be a special encore edition of Alive at Five on Friday, Oct. 27, featuring Jim Quick & The Coastline Band.
All Alive at Five concerts are free, family friendly and take place from 5-8 p.m. at Jaycee Park, 807 Shepard St., Morehead City.

NEWS-TIMESThe County Public Library in
Beaufort and Western Carteret Public Library in Cape Carteret are gearing up for their free book discussion program, “Let’s Talk About It.”
At the County Public Library, the topic is “The Journey Inward: Woman’s Autobiographies.” The sessions start at 7 p.m. and will be held on Monday nights from Sept. 12 to Nov. 7.
At Western Carteret County Public Library, the topic is “Exploring the American West…
Whose West?” The sessions are from 7-8:45 p.m. on alternating Tuesdays starting Sept. 13, and continuing until Nov. 8.
These programs are free and open to the public. They are made possible by a grant from the N.C. Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
“Let’s Talk About It” is a joint project of the N.C. Humanities Council and the N.C. Center for the Book, a program of the State Library of North Carolina/Department of Cultural Resources and an affiliate of the
Libraries prepare for ‘Let’s Talk About It’ book discussionsCenter of the Book in the Library of Congress.
The libraries will loan the books to participants at no charge, so show up with an eagerness to learn.
County Public LibraryThe quest for identity often
involves undertaking a journey, whether literally or figurative-ly.
The autobiographies in this series tell of both kinds of jour-neys and will spur participants to join the authors in attempt-ing to make sense out of their lives.
First up in the series for the County Public Library is An American Childhood by Annie Dillard on Monday, Sept. 12. This session is led by Billy Yeargin, master of library sci-ence, of Duke University.
Ms. Dillard’s luminous prose painlessly captures the pain of growing up in this evocation of childhood.
She climbs back inside her 5-, 10- and 15-year-old selves with apparent effortlessness.
On Monday, Sept. 26, Sue Ross, Ph.D./ master’s in art from Queens College in Charlotte will lead a discussion on Letters of Woman Homesteader by Elinor Pruitt Stewart.
In the early 1900s, recently widowed Ms. Stewart accepted an offer to work on a ranch in Wyoming. Through 26 let-ters, she reveals herself to be a joyful and talented survivor and a powerful writer especially about the natural world.
On Monday, Oct. 10, Michelle
Manning, masters in fine arts from UNC Wilmington, will lead a discussion on West with the Night by Beryl Markham.
This is a true epic, complete with shattered societal expec-tations, torrid love affairs and desperate crash landings.
A rebel from a young age, the British-born Ms. Markham was raised in Kenya’s unforgiv-ing farmlands.
She learned to be a bush pilot at a time when most Africans had never seen a plane. In 1936, she accepted the ultimate challenge: to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west.
On Monday, Oct. 24, Dust Tracks on a Road will be dis-cussed. Frank Deena, a Ph.D. from ECU will discuss the book written by Zora Neale Hurston.
Dust Tracks on a Road is the bold, poignant and funny auto-biography of a novelist, folklor-ist and anthropologist, whose powerful novels of the South continue to enthrall readers with their lyrical grace, sharp detail and captivating emotion-ality.
Finally, on Monday, Nov. 7, Susan Ketchin, of N.C. State University, will discuss One Writer’s Beginnings by Eudora Welty.
Ms. Welty was born in 1909 in Jackson, Miss. In a continu-ous thread of revelation, she sketches her autobiography and tells how her family and sur-roundings contributed to of her personality and her writing.
She has recreated this van-ished world with the same sub-
tlety and insight that mark her fiction.
Western Carteret Public Library
If a culture is the sum of its stories, no story has been a more compelling force in the shaping of American culture than the narrative of the fron-tier.
The new fiction of the American West proffers a com-plex comprehension of Western history. Voices from across the Western spectrum have spo-ken to the prismatic nature of the Western experience. These records of the interactions between very different cultures who produced today’s West will be explored in this thoughtful series.
The American West offers not one story but many. As the books are read, participants will examine some of those stories – violent or nostalgic, tragic or heroic. This series will offer par-ticipants a way of exploring an honest American creation myth, a story truly shared.
On Tuesday, Sept. 13, Rebecca Goodwin, Ph.D., of Barton College will discuss Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West by Patricia Nelson Limerick.
The West has a history grounded primarily in economic reality, in hardheaded questions of profit, loss, competition and consolidation.
Ms. Limerick presents stories and characters in a new way.

NOISES OFF: Called the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off presents a manic menagerie as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On.

The men of the west “meant busi-ness” in more ways than one.
On Tuesday, Sept. 27, Jose Ocan ̃a, masters of arts, from Campbell University will lead a discussion on the novel On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred Year Odyssey of a Chinese-American Family by Lisa See.
Ms. See has constructed this epic story of her Chinese-American family. She includes stories of racism, romance, entrepreneurial genius, domes-tic heartache, secret marriages and sibling rivalries in a history of two cultures meeting in a new world.
On Tuesday, Oct. 11, Susan Schmidt, Ph.D. and author, will
discuss Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner.
