July-August Artist at the Waccamaw Library: Barnie Slice After 31 years designing displays and windows at Sears, native South Carolinian Barnie Slice retired to Greenville, where he painted murals in restaurants, banks and private homes. In 1991, he started painting murals in the schools of North and South Carolina brushing more than 50 miles of walls in some 250 schools over the next 13 years. In 1998, he moved to Pawleys Island, SC, and retired from painting murals after a shoulder injury in 2005. For the past 10 years, he has taught art classes (oils, acrylics and watercolors) for Coastal Carolina University in the OLLI program while continuing to paint for several local galleries: Art Works at the Litchfield Exchange, Island Art Gallery in Pawleys Island, Prince George Gallery in Georgetown, and Swamp Fox Gallery in Murrells Inlet. Barnie had two of his paintings on display in the White House in Washington, DC when President Reagan was in office in Mr. Lee Attwater's office. In 1998, he was the first South Carolinian to win the South Carolina Saltwater Fish Stamp Competition for his rendition of the Cobia. For more information, email July-August Photographer at the Waccamaw Library: Ed Robidoux This serious, amateur photographer, skilled in macro photography (the art of taking detailed, close-up pictures of very small objects like the tendrils of plants), comes from a mechanical-engineering background. He approaches the craft of photography not only with passion but also through discipline. With considerable experience in camerawork gleaned from studies and achievements dating from the 1970s, Robidoux relishes sharing with others the value of good technique. He has been an instructor for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) of Coastal Carolina University and for the entity Southern Exposures and Art, teaching mainly Photoshop Creative Cloud and Photoshop Elements. He enjoys enabling fellow photographers to become more skilled in digital photography, particularly in post-processing, photographic workflows. After moving to Murrells Inlet in 2003, he served as the Regional Coordinator of the Carolinas' Nature Photographers Association. In October 2015, he founded the Tidelands Photography Club and currently serves as its President. The club's dual mission is to capture the natural beauty and heritage of our area while promoting amongst its members, through ongoing education and through outings, an improved level of photographic ability. For more information about the photography displayed at the Waccamaw Library, email sbremner@gtcounty.org.

| Two sad notes: Susan Laughter Meyers, poet extraordinaire and one of the founders (with Libby Bernardin) of the FOWL Tea & Poetry Series, was laid to rest on June 30 in Charleston. Taylor Nelson, the creator of the FOWL logo (above) and many graphic designs for Strand Media, Sasee, The Swamp Fox Players, and Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art, was memorialized at his mother Jackie Nelson's homeplace in Murrells Inlet on Saturday, July 15. Both were generous contributors to the Friends of Waccamaw Library. POV Series to be rescheduled - The Point of View series offered in collaboration with PBS, will be rescheduled in the fall when fewer of our Friends are traveling or entertaining families and friends! These excellent shorts and full-length documentaries deserve a better time slot and a bigger audience.

Nearly 25 years ago, Joe made a career change, founding One On One Computers, a mobile service that covered the Grand Strand and Conway area. Joe recognized that the rapid changes in computer technology were creating a demand for increased security - a demand that requires expertise beyond that of a typical small business or anyone with a PC or other connected device.

As often as possible, he saddles up and charges off to see what Washington's woods, byways, and battlefields look like from atop a saddle. Riding with George is "boots-in-stirrups" storytelling that unspools Washington's rise to fame in a never-before-told yarn.

Tuesday, July 25 11 AM-1 PM - The Moveable Feast: Ace Atkins (The Fallen) at Pawleys Plantation. New York Times bestselling author of nineteen novels, including The Innocents and Robert B. Parker's Slow Burn, and one of the best crime writers working today, Ace has been nominated for every major award in crime fiction, including the Edgar three times, twice for novels about former U.S. Army Ranger Quinn Colson. The Fallen is a classic southern tale of backroom deals, tainted honor, dysfunctional family, high-stakes greed - and everyday heroism. Mississippi sheriff Quinn Colson had to admit he admired the bank robbers. A new bank was hit almost every week, and the robbers rushed in and out with such skill and precision it reminded him of raids he'd led back in Afghanistan and Iraq when he was an Army Ranger. In fact, it reminded him so much of the techniques in the Ranger Handbook that he couldn't help wondering if the outlaws were former Rangers themselves. And that was definitely going to be a problem. If he stood any chance of catching them, he was going to need the help of old allies, new enemies, and a lot of luck. The enemies he had plenty of. It was the allies and the luck that were going to be in woefully short supply. $30, 843.235.9600 or ClassAtPawleys.com.

The Native people in Eastern South Carolina were among the earliest to be contacted by Europeans in the early 16th century. What was ultimately a successful colonization for Europeans was a culturally devastating point in history for Native South Carolinians. This presentation takes an ethno historical approach combining information from written records, oral history interviews and archaeological investigations to weave the untold story, one marginalized in all European history narratives. Descendants of these indigenous groups still live in the area today having stood and faced an onslaught of bias, disease, slavery, warfare and cultural disruption. 7 PM - McClellanville Arts Center presents "Everything You Need to Know About the Eclipse" with Kevin Bourque.

Meanwhile, the life of her husband is also beginning to unravel.
