COVER ART: “Horses on Corolla Beach” textile collage by Elaine O’Neil

Elaine O’Neil is a Chapel Hill-based textile collage artist who uses fabrics to create beautiful textile collages of fond childhood memories, and whimsical images of the local community and North Carolina landmarks. Elaine O’Neil also is the illustrator of Good Night Carolina, a children’s book written by Missy Julian Fox and Marie Myers Lloyd.

As O’Neil describes it, “Growing up in the countryside of rural Maine, I had an idyllic, perfect childhood. Running barefoot in the green fields, playing hide and seek in our big red barn, picking sweet peas, and eating blueberry pie are fond memories I hold dear to this day. My artistic process begins with those simple, pure moments. I strive to conjure up the essence of those good memories and capture them through whimsey and color, all stitched together with a sense of humor and delight. I call the finished piece, "textile collage".

"I began sewing as a girl, winning 4-H contests and making all of my clothes.

In college, I designed fabrics, enjoying the created effect of color and texture combinations. Later, while our three sons were little and I was home with them, I began creating "scenes" and portraits of a family boat ride, a cow farm, or a seaside picnic. Those 'scenes' were noticed by a gallery and that was the start of my art career.”

NC Beaches

Women's Surfing Competition Returns to Wrightsville Beach, NC Wahine Classic Kicks Off Week of Surf Contests & Camps

On the shores of Wrightsville Beach, NC, the nationally ranked surf town in some of the country's cleanest ocean waters, more than 100 female surfers from New York to Florida will compete in shortboard, longboard and standup paddleboard heats during the Wahine Classic in Wrightsville Beach, Friday through Sunday, Aug. 15-17, 2014.

A crowd favorite is the teeny wahine division.

"My daughter Airlie calls the teeny wahines 'the dads and daughters' because ... you see the dads as happy as the girls bonding and assisting so their little girls can ride waves," Pickett says.

The timing of the teeny wahine division is paired with the shortboard finals. "This provides a platform for them to participate and watch the pro shortboard finals that's going on at the same time," Pickett says.

The quintessential surf town made National Geographic's short list of America's Last Best Beach Towns in its June/July 2014 issue. Also in June 2014, Wrightsville Beach was named by the Natural Resources Defense Council as one of its 35 Superstar Beaches for its clean ocean waters.

Wahine Classic organizers Jo Pickett of Crystal South Surf Camp and Jack Viorel of Indo Jax Surf Charities are expecting a bigger than average field of wahines (young women surfers) this year.

"Wrightsville Beach is a great location for the competition. In so many ways it has become the classic of all Wahine contests," Viorel says.

Viorel's daughter, now 11, started surfing at age 4.

She's among the budding female surfers eligible to surf the age 12 and under guppy division.

Pickett who coaches the East Coast Surfing Association's elite female division says her role puts her in touch with the best female surfers on the East Coast. She welcomes surfers of all skill levels pro, amateur and novice - in all age groups - teeny wahines, guppies, juniors, ladies and legends - during the Wahine Classic in Wrightsville Beach, one of only three all-female contests on the East Coast.

"The idea is to bring all girls to the playing field," Pickett says. "The developing surfers learn from the most accomplished."

Pickett's philosophy of instruction is rooted in mentoring. For decades she has mentored female surfers including two daughters, Airlie Pickett and Lelaini Pickett, who placed second and third in the pro shortboard division during the 2013 Wahine Classic finals. First place went to Wrightsville Beach local Darsha Pigford.

"By having an all female contest like this," Viorel says, "it's a real platform to dive into surfing. There's a competitive edge to it but it's a community event," he adds.

ANIMAL KINGDOM

A North Carolina Hospital for Sea Turtles: The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center

Located in Surf City, North Carolina (across from Topsail Beach, and about a half hour drive from Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, NC), the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center is a sea turtle sanctuary committed to the rescue, care, rehabilitation and release of sick and injured sea turtles.

For more than 20 years, the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center (also known as the "Sea Turtle Hospital") helps sea turtles recover from injuries and illnesses caused by nets, hooks, toxins and polluted water, plastics, boat hulls, boat propellers, even shark attacks.

The hospital also rescues "cold-stunned" sea turtles from sudden cold temperature, and rescues and releases baby sea turtles who aren't able to make it out to sea.

(Sometimes a storm or hurricane weather causes the ocean to be too rough for the tiny baby sea turtles to leave the beach.)

The Sea Turtle Hospital recently moved to a brand new 13,600-square-foot building, completed in November 2013, open to the public beginning in June 2014. The new $2 million sea turtle hospital building was completely funded through private contributions.

The new building is 16-times larger than the old facility that had been used since 1996, and includes a large space for tanks ("sea turtle bay", where recovering sea turtle patients spend their days swimming and splashing in the

Visitors can come and visit the sea turtles who are recovering at the Sea Turtle Hospital, and (if you are lucky to be there when a sea turtle will be released back into the sea,) visitors also can go to the beach and watch the release.

Jean Beasley, Founder and Director of the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rehabilitation and Rescue Center, has been working tirelessly for more than 20 years to rescue sea turtles, with the dedicated help of hundreds of long-term volunteers, (more than 1,000 volunteers over the years). She is the winner of the 2013 Oceana Ocean Hero Awards, and the winner of Animal Planet’s 2007 Hero of the Year.

The Sea Turtle Hospital has a lot to celebrate! They have recued, rehabilitated and released more than 400 sea turtles, and they are now able to rescue many more sea turtles.

The Karen Beasley Rescue Center teaches visitors about the things we can each do to help the sea turtles.

• Do not leave large items (chairs, canopies, umbrellas) on the beach overnight. A turtle can become entangled in these. tanks), sea turtle hospital, classroom, gift shop, educational exhibits and sea turtle art that teach about conservation and things we can all do to help keep sea turtles safer.

Before the new Sea Turtle Hospital opened, for sixteen years the center's long-term volunteers shared 850 sq. ft. of space with up to fifty turtles at one time. The new hospital gives them the ability to help many more sea turtles.

In addition to rescuing and rehabilitating injured turtles, Karen Beasley Rescue volunteers have daily "Turtle Patrols" all spring and summer during sea turtle nesting season, scouting out turtle tracks that lead to nests. Topsail Island has 26 miles of coastline, and each mile is surveyed every morning (around 100 volunteers daily) to identify sea turtle tracks and nests from May through August. When a nest is found, it is roped off and closely monitored, including a round-the-clock guard when hatching time is near.

(Sea turtle eggs generally hatch in about 60 days, so with constant monitoring the volunteers can determine the approximate hatch date).

Beasley and her staff of volunteers emphasize that, even with all these efforts, only one in an estimated five to ten thousand hatchlings survive, and the turtles don't seem to be laying enough eggs to keep their numbers from declining. There are fewer nests now than there were in the mid-1980's when Jean Beasley and her daughter, Karen, began the turtle patrol project.

In addition to her work at the Karen Beasley center, Jean Beasley works diligently to promote conservation around the world,

All sea turtle species are either endangered or threatened, and are listed in the Endangered Species Act. Of the seven sea turtle species worldwide, five kinds of sea turtles (species) migrate along the east coast, and three kinds (species) of sea turtles are hospitalized at the Sea Turtle Hospital at Topsail Beach regularly. The loggerhead is the sea turtle most often seen in North Carolina, followed by green sea turtles and then Kemp's Ridley sea turtles. Most sea turtle species live about 100 years. Destruction of feeding and nesting habitats and pollution of the world’s oceans are all taking a serious toll on remaining sea turtle populations.

• If you dig a hole in the sand on the beach, do not walk away without replacing all the sand. It’s dangerous not only to turtles but to humans who can stumble into it and break a bone (it’s happened.)

• Don't leave anything on the beach; pick up everything you bring and take it back with you. Pieces of plastic, toys, parts, and balloons and balloon strings are all very dangerous for sea turtles and other sea creatures.

• When vacationing at the beach, or for people whose homes are at the beach, it's important to turn off outside lights and refrain from using flashlights on the beach during nesting season, because turtles are disoriented by light and head off in the wrong direction. (Confused by the lights, sea turtle mamas can end up in parking lots and on the highways, rather than nesting on the dark beach at night).

• Respect the sea turtle nests and any instructions from turtle project volunteers.

• Visitors also are warned not try to stop a turtle or get in its way. Beasley and her volunteer staff remind visitors that it is illegal (a violation of federal law) to try to stop a sea turtle or get in its way.

If you come across a stranded, injured or distressed sea turtle, call the Wildlife Resources Commission’s sea turtle emergency hotline number at 252-241-7367 (24/7), or visit the Karen Beasley Center at www.seaturtlehospital. org to learn what to do if you see a stranded, injured or distressed sea turtle.)

Lefty: A Loggerhead Sea Turtle's Journey from Hatchling to the Sea

There is a joyful celebration on Topsail Beach when a sea turtle at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center has recovered and will be released to go back home into the ocean.

Sometimes as many as 500 school children have attended the release of a turtle hospital patient, along with family and friends of the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.

For traffic and crowd safety reasons, a release is only posted on the website (www.seaturtlehospital.org) and on Facebook the day before the release. (Having less advance notice results in less of a crowd.)

On the happy day when a sea turtle (or a group of sea turtles) is released, a beach "runway" is marked with ribbons, creating a parade route from the dunes to the beach and the water's edge.

Children often make flags, signs and banners to cheer the sea turtle along back into the sea. Sea turtle ambassadors are elected to officially escort the turtle. Adult volunteers carry the turtle, and since most of the turtles are quite large and heavy (on average several hundred pounds), it can be a big job!

When the sea turtle reaches the beach and smells the salt water, it gets so excited it flaps its flippers and bucks to make a break for the ocean. It is challenging for the three adults carrying a sea turtle to have the strength and endurance to keep a grip all the way from the dunes down to the water's edge where the sea turtle will be released.

When you visit the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, you will quickly see that each sea turtle has a distinct personality, and you will learn that each sea turtle patient has his or her own story. Each of these sea turtles was rescued and is recovering at the Sea Turtle Hospital, so that they can be released back into the sea as soon as they are able.

For example, a Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital intern described the sea turtle patient named "Shellie" as "accident prone," because she has survived a shark attack, a boat strike, and a net capture. She survived and recovered from her injuries thanks to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital's excellent care. You can watch a video of Shellie's July 16, 2014 release at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital's Facebook page.

Lefty was an unusual case for the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital because he was rescued when he was a tiny hatchling, and stayed at the hospital for a long time: almost six years! Most of the rescued baby sea turtles are able to go back to the sea quickly, sometimes they even get to take a ride on a boat to warmer, safer water.

But when Lefty was brought in to the Sea Turtle Hospital, the tiny baby hatchling was missing his right front flipper (that's why he's called "Lefty"). He had to spend a lot of time learning how to swim and maneuver without a right front flipper, and the Sea Turtle Hospital needed to make sure he could survive in the wild before he could be released.

"Lefty" in 2008. (Loggerhead baby turtle, missing right front flipper and weighed 2 ounces.)

"Lefty" 4 months later in 2008, growing quickly!

On a happy day in June 2014, Lefty was released 6 years after he arrived at the Sea Turtle Hospital, along with several other sea turtles who also were released that day, swimming along with him out into the vast ocean.

If you visit on a weekday, plan to arrive later in the afternoon, an hour or so before the closing time, to avoid a long wait. Bring sunscreen and water in case there is a line to enter the building. (It is amazing to see these beautiful sea turtles up close, so plan ahead to avoid lines, but it's well worth the wait.)

What makes Light-Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs better?

That’s easy. LEDs use less energy, last longer and are more durable than traditional bulbs. LED bulbs are also versatile, which means they can be used for a lot of different stuff. Today, LEDs can be found in everything from TVs to traffic lights!

Less Energy

Many of today’s LED bulbs are between six to seven times more energy efficient than regular bulbs.

That’s because regular bulbs release most of their energy as heat, while LEDs release barely any heat at all.

QUALITY INSTRUCTION

Last Longer

Did you know most LED bulbs can last more than 25 times longer than traditional bulbs? In fact, a quality LED bulb can run 24 hours a day, seven days a week for over three years before it burns out!

More Durable

ENERGETIC LEARNING ENVIRONMENT TM

CFL Charlie with LED Lucy, the newest bulb on the block!

Since LED bulbs are made without filament (the little wire in the middle of a regular bulb) and don’t have moving parts, LED bulbs don’t break as often. This means less waste, which is always a good thing!

Today’s Kid Scoop gives you just a small amount of information about a few reptiles. If you think a reptile is the right pet for you, visit the library before you visit the pet store and read about how to care for the reptile you find interesting.

The following list of animals has four reptiles and three that are not reptiles. To figure out which three are not reptiles, do the math by each animal.

Odd-numbered animals are reptiles, even-numbered ones are amphibians. Make a check next to each animal that is a reptile:

Reptiles and amphibians are cold-blooded, which means that they depend on external sources, such as the sun, to maintain their body temperature. They don’t make their own heat by “burning” food fuel inside their bodies. As a result, reptiles eat only about half as much food as similar-sized birds and mammals (warm-blooded animals).

There are just a few types of lizards that make good pets for kids.

Leopard geckos are recommended by some experts. However, this lizard is nocturnal and will spend the day sleeping.

REPTILE WARNING: Reptiles can carry salmonella bacteria on their skin, which they can transfer to their cages or anything else they touch. The bacteria can cause life-threatening sickness in people.

Always wash your hands after handling a reptile or touching anything in its cage.

Snakes and some lizards have a special organ on the roof of the mouth that helps them smell. They smell by sticking out their tongues and then placing the tongue in the roof of the mouth where this organ is located.

They can then “smell” or sense what is around them.

What is the name of this organ? Use the code on the snake’s back!

How many geckos can you find here in the dark?

Standards Link: Life Science: Students know different animals inhabit different kinds of environments.

Paperhand Puppet Intervention's AMAZING Giant Puppet Creations "THE PAINTED BIRD" 15th Annual Summer Giant Puppet Pageant for All Ages

Every summer in August and September, Paperhand Puppet Intervention puts on a spectacular giant puppet show and pageant for all ages at the outdoor Forest Theatre in Chapel Hill, (with additional shows at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh), featuring handmade puppets, masks, stilt walkers, shadow puppets, and live music.

Paperhand Puppet's 15th Annual Giant Puppet Pageant, "THE PAINTED BIRD," is an enchanted pageant of weaving colors, huge puppets, rabbits, mice, moles, and hedgehogs!

From the little creatures of the fields and forests, emerging from the brown earth, to the lumbering beasts of green sunlit pastures, all dancing to the rhythms of life. It is a story of time and forgetfulness. Rabbits, moles, mice, and hedgehogs live in harmony in a magical world until a great greyness begins to spread across the land.

Who of us can remember the story of the Painted Bird who carries all the shades of the world on its wings, when the land has gone grey and the light faded? The furry creatures of forest and field must work together to keep the numbing greyness from sweeping across the land. Will the colors be consumed entirely from the world by the everencroaching grey? Come see for yourself, and the Painted Bird will rise with our own dreams of a brighter world this summer.

Since 1998, Paperhand artists have been using cardboard, corn starch, bamboo, old house paints, and other assorted stuff to create giant puppets, masks, shadow plays and silhouettes, stilt dancing, rod puppets and performances for all ages. The puppet shows they create are a synthesis of many art forms including sculpting, painting, music, dance, improvisation, costume/set design and theater.

Paperhand’s parades, pageants, and shows are celebrations of love, for the earth and its creatures (including humans), as well as justice, equality, and peace.

"The absolute best part of being a puppeteer/ artist is seeing people’s faces light up when they see one of our creations come to life," says Zimmerman. "People say incredible things about Paperhand Puppet’s work in person, in emails, and Facebook comments. For example, one person commented that “Your work has changed my life for the better and given my family the greatest gift of inspiration!” When I see and hear people react to our work in positive ways, it is very satisfying and encouraging, and just feels really good!"

Donovan Zimmerman and Jan Burger, co-founders of Paperhand Puppet Intervention.

Donovan Zimmerman and Jan Burger's dedication to the local community through their work with Paperhand Puppet Intervention is a gift that inspires imagination, creativity, and kindness in their audiences of all ages.

Donovan Zimmerman and Jan Burger are the co-founders of Paperhand Puppet Intervention, and they spend a lot of time creating amazing giant puppets at the Paperhand Puppet Intervention studio in Saxapahaw, NC. “We are so grateful for the amazing support we receive from our community,” says Paperhand co-founder Donovan Zimmerman.

“Each year we have over a hundred volunteers who lend their hands sewing, painting, and paper macheing to make our shows possible.

This year we were able to raise over $10,000 on Kickstarter to fund 'THE 'PAINTED BIRD.' It takes a lot of hands, hearts, money, and effort to put on a show of this size. We couldn’t do it without the love and support of hundreds of people.”

It’s truly bizarre, and wonderful, to look back and think about where we started 15 years ago and where we are today. Last year we had over 14,000 people come to see the show,” says co-founder Jan Burger. “Each year we keep growing and trying new things. We just try to bring a little beauty and hope into our part of the world.”

Paperhand Puppet Intervention's 15th Annual Giant Puppet Pageant, THE PAINTED BIRD, will take place every weekend (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays) from August 8th - September 7th at the Forest Theatre in Chapel Hill, with performances every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Labor Day at 7:00. Matinee shows will be held August 23th, 30th, and September 6th at 3:00. Additional performances September 13, 14 and 15 at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.

The Sun’s Supersized Atmosphere

By Alex H. Kasprak, National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Like Earth, the sun has an atmosphere with layers in it. The outermost layer is called the corona, and it’s a wild mess of activity. Scientists have long known about the corona. It is home to some spectacular shows—giant eruptions called Coronal Mass Ejections, loops, prominences, and massive magnetic storms.

Using NASA data, scientists recently made a shocking discovery about this solar region. It’s much bigger than they thought! While the sun is nearly 900,000 miles wide, the corona actually extends five million miles above the sun’s surface. In other words, the sun’s atmosphere is six times wider than the sun itself!

Scientists made this discovery by looking at waves rippling through the area surrounding the sun. These waves are called magnetosonic waves. They can be seen passing through the corona as they move away from the sun. Once the corona becomes too thin, they can no longer be viewed. No more wave?

No more corona!

These magnetosonic waves are pretty wild, too. They are a bit like sound waves and a bit like a weird kind of magnetic wave. Sound waves cannot be heard in space, since there is nothing for them to pass through to get to Earth.

And sound waves are too small to be viewed from afar. Magnetosonic waves, though, are about 10 times the length of Earth. With some clever work, scientists figured out a way to see them with a pair of NASA satellites in orbit around the sun.

The discovery that the corona is so large is an important one. Before this discovery, scientists thought they had a pretty good idea where the sun’s atmosphere ended and where the rest of space began. They couldn’t be happier that they were wrong.

Images from NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory that show waves traveling through the corona. The sun itself is blocked out to make the corona easier to view.

Credit: NASA/STEREO.

That’s because NASA is working on a new spacecraft that will travel to the sun. It will go closer to the sun than any previous mission. When NASA started working on it, they weren’t sure if it would The corona is still full of unanswered questions. actually travel through the Read about one of the corona’s more confusing mysteries at NASA’s Space Place: corona itself.

The Ballet

SPORTS & GAMES

. . . Ballet & Football!

Imagine what it would be like to watch a football game for the first time if you didn’t know a single thing about the game. Not only would you be confused, you probably wouldn’t enjoy it very much.

To pursue ballet as a career, a person must be talented and athletic, very hardworking, and dedicated to the art. As many people who aren’t professionals enjoy playing football and other sports for fun, many people, children and adult, study ballet just for enjoyment. Taking ballet classes is an excellent way to gain physical fitness while developing grace, poise, and agility.

Watching a football game is a lot more fun if you know something about how the game is played, if you know the rules, and have an understanding of what kind of training and practice the athletes need to perform well. It’s even more fun if you have tried playing football yourself. The same is true of watching ballet.

Many football players and other pro athletes take ballet classes to improve their balance, rhythm, coordination and flexibility. NFL Hall of Famer Lynn Swann was a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers whose ballet training was well known throughout the league.

He also appeared in a June 1981 episode of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, in which he appeared in his football uniform, and then danced ballet! Swann has been described in NFL films as "Baryshnikov in Cleats" (a reference to the famous Russian ballet dancer, Mikhail Baryshnikov.) Michael Aubrecht (Pinstripe Press) describes Lynn Swann as "arguably the most graceful receiver in NFL history. He made more key catches - in more big games - and in more spectacular fashion - than any receiver did. His ballet training enabled him to defy gravity and his hands were second-to-none." Swann played in 4 Super Bowls and was inducted into the Hall of Fame, and he has served on the board of directors of the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, where he created a youth scholarship.

Some of the current Pittsburgh Steelers players also take ballet classes at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. Watch Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Steve McLendon dancing in ballet class (joined by fellow NFL Players Ziggy Hood and Al Woods) in the ESPN video called " Grace and Gridiron" at: http://www.dancespirit.com/2013/09/are-youready-for-some-football-players-in-ballet-class/

Ballet is a way of telling a story using music and movement instead of words. The “language” of ballet consists of patterns of movement that have developed over centuries.

Ballet began as ballroom dancing in the courts of Italy and France about 450 years ago. It is based on a response that is natural to all human beings – the desire to move our bodies when we hear music.

Like all sports and forms of dance, ballet takes movements we are familiar with - running, jumping, balancing and lifting - and uses them in a very particular and formalized way. The most notable feature of ballet technique is the outwardly rotated position of the feet and legs, called turn-out. Proper turn-out begins at the hips. The thighs and knees are well turned-out, and the feet and ankles do not Kidsville roll forward. Turn-out is acquired gradually as a dancer’s muscles gain (1/4 the page V is 5 in. x 6 in. strength and develop through careful training and practice. A good turn-out allows dancer to move freely in all directions with grace and ease.

First Position Heels together, toes turned out.

Second Position First position opened up, with the heels as far apart as the length of the dancer’s own foot.

Third Position Heel of the front foot touching the instep of the back foot, toes of both feet equally turned out.

Fourth Position Heel of the front foot opposite the toe of the back foot, feet parallel and separated by a space the length of the dancer’s own foot, toes of both feet equally turned out.

Fifth Position Feet closed together, the heel of the front foot touching the toe of the back foot.

A perfect fifth position requires perfect turnout and is very difficult to achieve.

Another technique characteristic of ballet is dancing en pointe. Dancing en pointe means dancing on the tips of the toes. The first ballerina to do this was the famous dancer Marie Taglioni in 1832. To dance en pointe, dancers wear special shoes made of fabric stiffened with glue. Although the shoes are stiffened, they do not hold the dancer up on her toes; her muscles do that. Most girls are about 12 years old before they have enough strength and training to begin dancing en pointe. It is important that young dancers do not try to go en pointe until their ankles and feet are strong enough. Usually only girls dance en pointe.

Dancers who perform ballet on stage are highly trained. They often begin studying dance at the age of eight or nine, or even younger. While girls learn to dance en pointe, boys who study dance must be very strong in order to perform high jumps and turns and to lift their partner in the air. The training of male dancers includes weight lifting and other exercises to build upper body strength.

Although there are hundreds of steps and positions in any single ballet performance, each of them begins and ends with one of the five basic positions of the feet. The five basic ballet positions are:
