The Beaufort Woman’s Club recently achieved its 95th year of service to the community, and the public is invited to attend a special birthday celebration from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, at the Beaufort train depot.
“Since 1921, the Woman’s Club has a long and rich history of shaping our community,” Karma Rodholm, 2016-17 Beaufort Woman’s Club President, said. “We would like to invite every-one to drop in to enjoy some birthday cake and hear a fun and interesting program about our club’s history.”
Ms. Rodham said the birthday committee has scoured the club’s scrapbooks to prepare a historical slide presentation and an exhibit for the public to enjoy. The pre-sentation will begin at 5 p.m.
From organizing a Beaufort public library in 1922 to sup-porting arts and education in Carteret County schools in 2016, the club has a history of support-ing community development, health and welfare, historic preservation, youth, women, art and education.
The present-day club traces its roots to Jan. 21, 1921, when 12 community-minded women held their first meeting.
The next year, the club opened a public library in a Front Street home after holding a door-to-door drive to raise money and book donations.
In 1932, the club opened and operated the first school cafete-ria at the Beaufort Public School. On a shoestring budget, mem-bers served nearly 16,000 hot lunches during the Depression-era school year of 1932-33.
In 1957, the club originated the Beaufort Old Homes Tour, a highly popular attraction that continues today under the lead-ership of the Beaufort Historical Association.
From 1994 to 1996, club mem-bers raised $200,000 to restore the train depot, where town government, county government and other meetings are held.
Other major Woman’s Club accomplishments: � Restored The Old Burying Ground in 1947.� Designed the Beaufort town seal in 1969 and the town flag in 1972.� Raised $100,000 to pur-chase and relocate the circa 1726 Ward-Hancock house from 2005-10.� Supported the Good Samaritan School in Beaufort, Haiti from 2012-16.
Beaufort Woman’s Club to celebrate 95th birthday
� Supported the restoration of the 1821 Purvis Chapel in 2014.� Held an arts competition for students at Croatan, West Carteret and East Carteret high schools from 2014-present.� Provided scholarships for East Carteret High School stu-dents from 1990s-present.� Held an art auction to pur-chase art supplies in seven Beaufort and Down East schools from 2009-present.� Awarded grants to nine local organizations during 2016, including Family Promise, The Bridge Downeast Ramsey Center, Beaufort Middle School Special Needs Class Expansion, Carteret County Community Theatre, Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market, Project Superhero ENC, Beaufort Lion’s Club, Eagle Scout Project and the Beaufort Historical Association.
The mission of the Beaufort Woman’s Club is to make a posi-tive difference in the commu-nity by supporting preservation, revitalization, education and the economically depressed.
The club is open to all without discrimination, encouraging rela-tionships, fellowship, growth, leadership and a commitment to community.
With 80 active members, a 40 percent increase over 2015-16, the club enters 2017 with a growing membership and a renewed outlook to support important causes.
History Highlights of Beaufort Woman’s Club
1920s to 1940sIn 1922, the Woman’s Club
opened a public library at the Front Street home of Mrs. John Forlaw. Members held a door-to-door membership drive to raise money and book donations. Mrs. Forlaw served as librarian, checking out books and accept-ing donations. Within five years, the library had moved into the first floor of a building at the cor-ner of Front and Craven streets, and boasted more than 500 vol-umes.
In 1932, the club opened and operated the first school caf-eteria at the Beaufort Graded School. Using only a four-burner oil stove, a wood range and dish-es borrowed from the Baptist church and the Masonic Lodge, rotating teams of club members served hot lunches to as many as 100 children daily.
Children who were able to afford lunch paid 14 cents a meal, underprivileged children were served free of charge and children from farm families could receive a hot meal in exchange for produce.
The project was hailed as exemplary and served as a model for other Eastern North Carolina schools during the Depression.
While the Woman’s Club was not as active during the 1940s wartime years, members picked up the baton for community improvements in future years.
In 1947, and club began a project to restore the Old Burying Ground, now listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
1950s to 1990sIn 1957, the club originated
the Beaufort Old Homes Tour, a highly popular attraction that
continues today and brings thou-sands of visitors to the area.
The first tour featured five historic homes and The Old Burying Ground, and proceeds went to Beaufort High School for the installation of shower stalls in the school gymnasium.
In 1969, the club designed a colorful Beaufort town seal to represent the town’s historic past. Beaufort town commis-sioners adopted the design, and it continues in use today.
In the 1970s, the Woman’s Club supported urban renewal and campaigned for the success-ful passage of a 1971 bond refer-endum that led to the transfor-mation of Beaufort’s waterfront.
In 1972, the club sponsored, designed and presented to the town a Beaufort town flag design that is still used today.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the club held a multi-year fundraising drive to pur-chase equipment in the physical therapy department of Carteret General Hospital, which is now Carteret Health Care.
It also donated playground equipment, audio-visual equip-ment and computers for stu-dent use at Beaufort Elementary School.
In 1981, seeing future landfill problems, the Beaufort Woman’s Club’s conversation committee addressed the need for recy-cling.
They appeared before the Beaufort Board of Commissioners and after 10 years of lobbying, and seeking and receiving sup-port from other clubs in town, the plan became a reality.
The first recycling curbside pickup took place the first week in December 1991 with the help of the club distributing 18-gallon green containers to residents.
In the 1990s, the club con-tinued its focus on educa-tion and the arts. It provid-ed $1,000 scholarships to the Sallie Cotton Scholarship Fund for East Carteret High School women students. The club also made financial contributions to the East Carteret High School Marching Mariners Band to par-ticipate in two national parades
Beaufort Public School is pictured in this old photograph. This Beaufort Woman’s Club will celebrate
their 95th birthday from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, and look at the work they have done over the years,
including serving lunches at the school in 1932. (Contributed photo)

BY LINDSEY BAHRASSOCIATED PRESS
Ben Affleck is no doubt an
ambitious and tasteful film-
maker, but he’s gotten himself
in a bit of hot water with the
bloated period gangster epic
“Live by Night.” It looks and
sounds right, and all the ele-
ments are there: A conflicted
anti-hero with a granite jaw,
a fast-talkin’, two-timin’ moll,
crooked cops and a sweaty
loyal partner. There’s the one-
last-job-gone-awry, some rum-
running, a few epic shootouts
and the big questions about
whether or not our man has
become everything he swore he
wouldn’t. It seems like enough
to hold audience interest for a
few hours, but somehow even
with all that going for it (not to
mention a parade of recogniz-
able faces), “Live by Night” is
dull as sin.
The story is adapted by Mr.
Affleck from a Dennis Lehane
novel of the same name. Mr.
Lehane is the author of the
source material for some good
to great films like “Mystic
River,” “Shutter Island” and Mr.
Affleck’s first stab at directing,
“Gone Baby Gone.” It was a
decent gamble that “Live by
Night” would be pretty good,
too.
Mr. Affleck has put him-
self front and center here as
the lead, Joe Coughlin, a once
good man who became jaded
after serving in World War I.
He came back to his home-
town of Boston, where his
father (Brendan Gleeson) is the
police chief, with the intention
of never answering to anyone.
We don’t ever see Joe as a
standup citizen, only robbing
banks and sleeping with Emma
Gould (Sienna Miller), the mis-
tress of the town’s most noto-
rious mob boss Albert White
(Robert Glenister). Naturally as
soon as Emma and Joe decide
to skip town and find a new
life somewhere warm (where
they come so close to saying
that they’ll “live by night” it’s
almost annoying that they
don’t), things take a turn and
Joe is left beaten to a pulp,
imprisoned and alone. When
he gets out, revenge against
Albert White is the only thing
on his mind, so he heads to
Florida to work for a rival.
While the Boston scenes
are paint-by-numbers gangster
pic, with a few gorgeous shots
thanks to cinematographer
Robert Richardson, in Florida
at least the plot gets somewhat
interesting as Joe pairs up with
a nearly unrecognizable Chris
Messina as Dion Bartolo to get
in the Prohibition-era rum busi-
ness while butting heads with
the local KKK thugs, a compli-
cated cop (Chris Cooper) and
his troublesome evangelist
daughter Loretta (Elle Fanning).
Oh, and Joe also falls in love
with a Cuban expat Graciela
(Zoe Saldana).
By the time Loretta becomes
the main focus, and foe, of Joe
and Dion the film has already
lost most of its steam. “Live
by Night” wants to be about
everything – capitalism, rac-
ism, the American dream, the
hypocrisy of the good and
moral – while also providing
shoot ‘em up thrills. It’s hard to
do that when you don’t even
care for or about any of the
characters, though. In fact,
there are so many characters
and so much story (not to men-
tion at least four false endings)
that it wouldn’t be surprising if
there exists a better three-hour
version of this.
Mr. Affleck may have done
his film a disservice by mak-
ing himself the star. On screen
the generally effortlessly char-
ismatic, Mr. Affleck seems to
be sleepwalking through the
movie – with the exception of
his moments with Ms. Miller’s
Emma Gould. He looks out of
place and uncomfortable most
of the time, and the distract-
ingly ill-fitting jackets don’t
help.
It was always going to be
a tricky thing to follow up a
smash like “Argo,” so taut and
smart and thrilling. Mr. Affleck
went maximalist with “Live by
Night,” and it was, indeed, too
much.
“Live by Night” a Warner
Bros. release, is rated R by the
Motion Picture Association of
America for “strong violence,
language throughout, and some
sexuality/nudity.” Running
time: 128 minutes. Two stars
out of four.

Western Carteret Public Library
Once upon a time, childhood did not exist. During the Middle Ages, adults treated their chil-dren as miniature versions of themselves, therefore, no spe-cial literature was written for these “small adults.”
Fairy Tales, now regarded as the quintessential literature for children, were actually first told orally by adults to adults, with children as peripheral, spellbound listeners.
There are many reasons why children’s literature is “not for children only.”
Books written for children are intrinsically humanizing to any reader and are no less impactful than books written exclusively for adults.
Adults also enjoy rereading books they loved as children. Like revisiting a childhood haunt, this process of re-expe-riencing is always instructive, not only for what readers dis-cover about themselves, but for the new insights gained, as well.
Other adults may now wish to read some of the classics of children’s literature that they
missed when they were young.Finally, adults seek to know
children’s literature in order to share it with the children in their lives.
Knowing children’s lit-erature is the prerequisite to knowing the right book to put into a child’s had at the right moment.
Orville Prescott has said, “Few children learn to love books by themselves. Someone has to lure them into the wonder-ful world of the written word; someone has to show them the way.”
The books for this series are:� The Classic Fairy Tales edit-ed by Iona and Peter Opie with speaker Bill DiNome of UNC Wilmington.� Little Women by Louisa May Alcott with speaker Willie Nelms of Sheppard Memorial Library. � The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett with speaker Dr. Susan Schmidt, Beaufort author. � Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White and Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson with speaker Louise Taylor of Meredith College. � Dragonwings by Lawrence Yep and The Giver by Lois Lowry with speaker Michelle Manning of UNC-Wilmington.

and to the East Carteret High School Chorale for travel to a performance in New York.
The club also donated new sound system equipment to the East Carteret High School Chorus and Drama Club, and it helped refurbish the art room at Beaufort Middle School.
In 1994, club members voted on a major project to restore the train station.
After two years of raising $200,000 and construction, the renovated depot was dedicated on Oct. 27, 1996. It has been used for town government and county government meetings, and it’s available to organiza-tions such as the Woman’s Clubm which meets there.
2000 to presentFrom 2000 to 2005, the
club raised money for numer-ous community organiza-tions, such as the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter, the Beaufort Boys & Girls Club, hospice, the N.C. Aquariums and Beaufort Elementary School.
The club also supported Hurricane Katrina victims and the Down East Food Bank.
In 2005, club members voted to raise $100,000 to purchase the historical Ward-Hancock House, circa. 1726 (First Custom House). This purchase would enable the house, a “living” museum, to become part of the Old Beaufort Village being
envisioned by the N.C. Maritime Museum at Gallant’s Channel.
Fundraising efforts continued for several years, and on Aug. 6, 2010, the club officially pre-sented the house to the N.C. Maritime Museum at a ceremo-ny held on the site.
In 2008, the club increased to $2,000 the amounts of scholar-ships for deserving East Carteret High School graduates and it supported the Beaufort Boys & Girls Club and communities in schools of Carteret County, as well as other local organiza-tions.
Since 2009, the club has conducted an annual art auc-tion to purchase art supplies in seven Beaufort and Down East schools.
Since 2012, the club has sup-ported the Good Samaritan School in Beaufort, Haiti, by funding salaries for teachers, a new bridge to help children access their school, construction of portions of the new school and needed supplies. The N.C. General Federation of Women’s Clubs honored the club for the Haiti project.
In 2014, the club financially supported the restoration of the 1821 Purvis Chapel. In addition, it spearheaded efforts and suc-ceeded in having Beaufort des-ignated as the first Heart Safe Community in North Carolina.
During 2014-15, the club initiated a student arts com-petition for Croatan, West Carteret and East Carteret high schools, and hosted the
District 8 Arts Festival. The club also conducted
several fundraising events to support community groups such as the Boys & Girls Club of Beaufort, East Carteret High School’s Consumer Science Department and Family Promise of Carteret County.
In 2015-16, the club held its second Carteret County High School Arts Competition, and through an auction for the arts, it raised $5,000 for the arts pro-grams at eight area elementary, middle and high schools.
It awarded two $1,000 schol-arships to senior East Carteret High School women, and sup-ported the Good Samaritan School in Beaufort, Haiti, the Persecuted Christians Fund of Samaritans Purse, Boys & Girls Club of Beaufort, the East Carteret High School Family and Consumer Science Department and the N.C. Maritime Museum.
The club also made a $1,000 donation for signage at the new Peer Recovery Center.
Through a newly formed grants committee, the club also awarded $6,700 to nine local organizations: Family Promise, The Bridge Downeast Ramsey Center, Beaufort Middle School Special Needs Class Expansion, Carteret County Community Theatre, Olde Beaufort Farmers’ Market, Project Superhero ENC, Beaufort Lion’s Club, Eagle Scout Project and the Beaufort Historical Association.

The 2016 Murder Mystery Dinner Party at the Webb Memorial Public Library in Morehead City proved to be such a success that an encore presentation has been scheduled for Friday, Jan. 27, and Saturday, Jan. 28.
The period and cast of play-ers has changed since last time, but the premise is the same: “You’ll drink, you’ll dine, you’ll die.”
While last year’s setting was 1947, this year the scene is set in 1927 England. The premise is that Lord Clive Worthington-Webb and his lovely wife, Lady Clarissa, are having a week-end retreat at their estate, the lovely and luxurious Webb Manor, which has been home to the Worthington-Webbs since the 17th century, said
Kitty Brawley, events coordina-tor for the Webb Library.
The conservative, eccentric Lord Clive has invited 50 of his closest friends for the gather-ing. During the evening, fam-ily skeletons are revealed and very dubious business arrange-ments come to light. As ten-sions mount, the unthinkable happens.
The evening will feature a dinner theater party, during which guests may mingle with cast members as they attempt to solve the murder mystery that unfolds. Those in atten-dance may dress in roaring 20s attire. In addition to the aris-tocratic hosts, other notable guests at the soiree include:
Dora Worthington-Webb, 21-year-old daughter; Hugo Bottomley, a Tory politician and close friend of Dora; Sandy Greatham, a long-stand-
ing houseguest and social secretary to Sir Clive; Madge Thistlewaite, close confidant to the family; and Myra Barker-Mowles, a popular socialite.
The players are Bill Meserve as Sir Clive; Kate Tonner as Lady Clarissa; Jason Fleming as Sir Hugo; Janelle Fleming as Lady Myra; Leah Czanderna as Dora; and Lacy Hollister as Madge.
The evening begins with hors d’oeuvres and drinks in the Webb Library Drawing Room at 6 p.m.; dinner in the Piano Room; and concludes with just desserts as the guilty party is unmasked.
The dinner will be catered by Atlantic Beach Seafood Co., with a main course featuring tossed green salad with cran-berry pear vinaigrette, crab cakes with remoulade and teriyaki shrimp, caramelized carrots, linguini with Alfredo
More murder at Webb Manor: Library gears up for mystery dinner party
sauce and lemonade pie for dessert.
A limited number of tickets are available for $50 per per-son and includes drinks (beer and wine), appetizers and the meal.
The show begins promptly at 6 p.m. each night, so don’t be tardy to this party.
For more information, call the library at 252-726-3012, or visit online at: the webblibrary.com.
The Webb Memorial Library becomes home to a murderer during
the Murder Mystery Dinner Party. The event is at 6 p.m. Friday-
Saturday, Jan. 27-28 at the Morehead City library, and attendees will
have to guess “who done it.”

Famed cellist to be honored during American Music Festival
The American Music Festival
continues its 27th season at 8
p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28, at the
History Museum of Carteret
County in Morehead City with
Amit Peled in a unique homage
to Pablo Casals.
Mr. Casals, who died in 1973,
is regarded as one of the great-
est cellists of all time.
The program will feature
excerpts from popular cello
works, works that Mr. Casals
himself might have played for
the audience.
Mr. Peled will be accom-
panied by the pianist Noreen
Cassidy-Polera, who ranks
among the most highly regard-
ed chamber artists performing
today and maintains a career
that has taken her to every
major American music center
and abroad to Europe.
Mr. Peled’s concert will pro-
vide a combination of well-
known classical music, a close
connection between the art-
ists and their instruments and
evoke a long musical tradition.
The instrument for the con-
cert will be the 1733 Goffriller
cello. This instrument was used
by Mr. Casals and was loaned
to Mr. Peled by Mr. Casal’s
widow, Marta, so the instru-
ment could be brought to life
again.
Mr. Peled has performed as
a soloist with many orches-
tras and in the world’s pre-
mier concert halls. He has also
been featured on TV and radio
stations throughout the world,
including NPR’s “Performance
Today.”
When not performing, Mr.
Peled is a professor at the
Peabody Conservatory of the
Johns Hopkins University.
A local nonprofit organi-
zation, the American Music
Festival has been providing
music to Carteret County and
Eastern North Carolina for the
last 27 years.
A portion of the ticket pro-
ceeds and donations to the
American Music Festival go to
provide music outreach pro-
grams for county school chil-
dren.
Tickets, which can be pur-
chased at the door, are $30.
Call 252-728-6152 for reserva-
tions.
The next concert in the
series is Saturday, Feb. 18,
at the museum with a per-
formance by The Horszowski
Piano Trio.
They will be performing
works by Mendelssohn and
Beethoven.
