Workers’ Rights 

Dear Aunt Bossy,

I have a job as a receptionist in a very quiet office. No one has ever complained about my work.

Wherein the Author Gets a Window Into the Movie Business. Literally.

By Mark Shaffer, Editor at Large

This is it. I finally made it into the movie business. It’s almost like I imagined it would be as a kid. I’m dressed to kill in a white dinner jacket and black bowtie, hair combed back like a mid 20^th century matinee idol, cigarette in my right hand (unlit), my left hand caresses a tumbler of bourbon. I am positioned – no, posed – at a café table shrouded in linen and littered with vintage World War II identification papers in both French and German.  At my back is an old fashioned upright piano. All of this and me are on display in the massive center window of Beaufort’s NeverMore Books. And if you haven’t figured it out, I am a very poor stand-in for Humphrey Bogart’s iconic Rick Blaine character in Casablanca, the cynical, world-weary American ex-pat owner of Rick’s Café American and some of the best lines ever uttered on film. 

Anything Goes!, an exhibit of member art at Art League Gallery, celebrates the depth and breadth of artwork created by Art League exhibiting members. Truly anything goes at this exhibit: any media, size, shape, form or subject. From 2D media such as painting and photography to 3D art including sculpture, ceramics and jewelry, all artworks will be on display and for sale.

The Friends of the Beaufort Library have announced the 2020 schedule for their popular 8-week annual Books Sandwiched In series, featuring book talks by local personalities to provoke interest in books: both fiction and non-fiction. After each talk presenters will welcome questions.
