From the Publisher

September has arrived with the sunny, breezy days and cool, clear nights, ideal for the magical foliage color change that will take place during fall foliage season.

Labor Day has passed and the summer has (unofficially) come to an end. It's an exciting time of the year, full of anticipation, enthusiasm, the crazy hot days of summer in retreat. I trust everyone took full advantage of the lazy days of summer!

If you have been with us all summer long - Congratulations! If you are just returning from a long summer break - Welcome back! And for those of you new to Coastal Life - Welcome! Thank you all for being a huge part of our readership family and trusting us as a part of your leisure entertainment. While it has been a wonderful summer this year, I am ready for autumn and all of the nice crisp air that it brings. It will feel good to turn off the air conditioner and open the windows to allow the fresh air in the house after being shut in all season.

When artist Cindy Baron says she needs to experience stormy weather in order to paint it, the North Kingston painter really means it. During coastal storms, Baron can likely be found at the shore, braving rough surf and winds in order to soak in the elements around her. A realist, Baron said she is drawn to the shapes of things, particularly rocks. In fact, she’s painted so many rocks, she is becoming known as the rock woman. Although she isn’t devoting a lot of time to portrait work these days, Baron can still be drawn in by a complicated or interesting face. She once followed a man home in order to draw him and had to convince both the man, an older gentleman with a well-lined face, and his wife that she really was an artist.

Just about every little boy, at one time, wants to grow up and be in a Hollywood movie. This month our focus is on Rochester’s John McGrath who as an actor, a stuntman and even a cameraman he has followed his boyhood dream. The only difference between him and millions of other young boys growing up in small town USA, he actually is working in movies, as well as concerts, with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and even musicians like Paul McCartney and Aerosmith.

You’d be hard-pressed to have missed some of the more than 400 projects that have been completed by the Nantucket Architecture Group over the last 16 years after gracing the issues of dozens of national magazines, being the focus of a number of television shows and winning numerous local and state national awards for their residential and commercial designs throughout their 16 years in business.

The owners say they have only scratched the surface of what they can do and they hope additional exposure in southeastern Massachusetts will help them tap into many unfulfilled potentials beyond the island they call home.

The tall, ornate facade of the Orpheum Theatre in New Bedford dwarfs the urban blight around it as its four, large terracotta faces stare at drivers passing by it on Route 18.

Arguably the most majestic building in the city's south end, the theatre opened on April 15, 1912--the infamous day that USS Titanic sank and is the lone survivor of a street that was once a teeming row of shops and other businesses called Water Street, until the construction of Route 18 forced the demolition of most of it. Read how a group called Orpheum Rising Project Helpers, Inc. is saying now's the time to bring the deteriorating, historic theater back to life.

Like everything in life we should learn to dream, have visions, set goals and work towards them. Never stop learning and realize that anything is possible once we set our minds to accept the challenge!

Until we meet again….

D uring coastal storms, Bar-on can likely be found at the shore, braving rough surf and winds in order

to soak in the elements around her. “I have to be there to experience the

color,” she said.A passionate outdoorswoman, Baron,

52, immerses herself in nature before attempting to translate her experience onto canvas. Her landscapes feature both fair and rough weather scenes including grand mountain ridges with intriguing clusters of trees and rock formations, and coastal images of beaches, rocky cliffs and storm swept shorelines.

Painting in a rural setting is an exhilarating experience for Baron. A Rhode Island resident for the past eight years, the

Indiana native takes regular trips to spots like Arizona, Wyoming, and New Mexico so she can paint plein air and then bring home completed studies to work on at her Rhode Island studio.

When she paints, Baron said, she is literally gathering up her experience in order to share with a viewer.

“That’s why I really have to feel the place,” she said. “I have to experience it first before I can give it a rendering.”

One of Baron’s greatest pleasures, she said, is to capture the feeling of a place so intensely that she draws the viewer into the scene. So, it’s a thrill, she said, to see somebody want to follow her tracks visually in her painting, to take the same hike she did.

“If you move somebody, that’s the biggest

joy,” she said.A few years ago, Baron’s method of

experiencing a natural event brought her a little too close to the edge. During an off-shore hurricane, not long after she and her family came to Rhode Island, Baron learned just how rough hurricane surf can be.

Standing atop a 100-foot granite cliff at Fort Wetherill in Newport, she had wrapped herself in plastic and was taking photographs of the storm-tossed coastline.

“It was awful out but I had to experience it,” she said.

Although she thought she was out of reach of the waves, Baron was surprised by a towering shape that crashed down on her.

“A wave came right up the side and I thought, okay, this is not good,” she said.

When artist Cindy Baron says she needs to experience stormy weather in order to paint it, the North Kingston painter really means it.


She wasn’t hurt and the experience hasn’t tempered her enthusiasm for nature’s rawness, but it did teach her to be more careful.

“I definitely have stood too close to the edge,” she said smiling, “and I learned along the way.”

In her artwork, Baron also likes living close to the edge, pushing beyond her comfort zone in any one medium by exploring other styles. She frequently switches between watercolor and oils, for example, and finds that by working in one, she also increases her skills in the other. Despite their extremely different qualities — one is light and transparent and the other heavy and thick — Baron said she loves them both.

“I’ve been told that you need to succeed in just one but I don’t believe that. I think one helps the other one,” she said.

Six years ago, Baron started exploring oils after more than 20 years of painting in watercolors. When she went back to her former medium, the difference she saw in her skill level convinced her that the switch was beneficial.

“I like to know that I am growing every day,” she said.

These days she paints in both, depending on what the landscape calls for.

A realist, Baron said she is drawn to the shapes of things, particularly rocks. In fact, she’s painted so many rocks, she is becoming known as the rock woman, she said with a smile.

“I like to perfect things,” she said. “I study their nooks and crannies, their sharp angles, their shape. I’m definitely a shape person.”

Referring to one of her paintings featuring an intriguing rock formation, Baron said, “I don’t look at this and see a rock. I look at this and say, look at the light and the shapes.”

Although she didn’t study formally, Baron came to drawing naturally and was initially a portrait artist. Her work can be found in private collections around the world and she has a list of awards to her credit including an American Watercolor Society 2007 Travel Show (1 year) Award and an Arts for the Parks, Top 100 Judges Award for “Last Light,” received in 2006.

She sometimes paints in other styles, including florals and still-lifes, but said they don’t inspire her like landscapes do. “I look for things that give me strength and that’s probably the mountains and the rock forms…dramatic light and shapes — the forms of things,” she said, adding, “I paint what moves me, what inspires me. My soul goes to the landscape.”

Although she isn’t devoting a lot of time to portrait work these days, Baron can still be drawn in by a complicated or interesting face. She once followed a man home in order to draw him and had to convince both the man, an older gentleman with a well-lined face, and his wife that she really was an artist.

But the resulting painting was worth it and that portrait, of Fred, and another of a musician Baron once passed in a café, can still be seen on the artist’s web site. Although her portrait work isn’t currently included in any of her gallery shows, Baron said she believes she’ll get back into the style someday.

“Certain people intrigue me. I’m drawn right in and have to draw them,” she said.

A few years back, Baron took a two-year hiatus from painting to travel with her son, a college basketball player, who next year will travel to Turkey to play professionally. The experience gave the artist further proof of how essential painting is to her life.

Although she enjoyed the time, she said the absence of painting had a profound impact on her, even changing her personality.

“After those two years, I didn’t even like myself,” she said with a grin.

To get back into painting, Baron booked what became a life-changing workshop in Jackson, Wyoming. The experience of exploring the mountains of Wyoming has since led to many

works in both oils and watercolors of stunning mountain views.

The very first time she saw the Tetons Mountains in Wyoming she had tears in her eyes, Baron said.

“It was so exhilarating; it got me out of that sports mode,” she said, adding, “That was the beginning of a whole lot.”

Baron’s hands-on way of exploring the world extends to how she learned to paint and also how she teaches painting in workshops she offers at her studio. She said she relies on experimentation and just plain ‘doing it’ to continue learning.

“Unless you’re hands-on you’re not going to understand any of it,” she said, “Books can only take you so far.”

An East Greenwich resident, Baron works out of the Shady Lea mill in North Kingston where she has a cozy studio in what was once a staple plant. She’s generally in the studio seven days a week, she said, a luxury she appreciates after having had to steal painting time at night while her two sons were growing up.

Her studio walls are lined with paintings that are in process, nearing completion or waiting for that final layer of inspiration. They’re all framed — a practice, Baron said, that helps her finish them.

A painting sometimes “sits there for a while,” she said, while she figures out what needs to change or reassures herself it is complete.

You’d be hard-pressed to have missed some of the more than 400 projects that have been completed by the Nantucket Architecture Group over the last 16 years after gracing the issues of dozens of national magazines, being the focus of a number of television shows and winning numerous local and state national awards for their residential and commercial designs throughout their 16 years in business.


But the owners say they have only scratched the surface of what they can do and they hope additional exposure in southeastern Massachusetts will help them tap into many unfulfilled potentials beyond the island the call home.

Don’t let the name-Nantucket Architecture Group-fool you. Their work is not refined to just the island alone, with their efforts stretching from Cape Cod and the Southcoast and other parts of New England, but that doesn’t mean there not looking for more work in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. “We started this company 16 years ago for residential and commercial design but most of the work we do is of a residential sort, anything from big jobs like house designs, to smaller jobs like basements, bathrooms or more,” said Nantucket Architecture Group co-owner Stephen C. Theroux, a native of Westport. “We’re looking to expand more outside of Nantucket, into places like Westport, Wareham, Rochester and other towns and cities in the area. Traveling is not an issue for us.” Theroux said what sets his company apart from much of the competition is in their ex-treme eye to detail and quality designs that have been the subject of numerous awards in-cluding several Chrysalis Awards for a 2007 finished basement, interior decoration and as the 2001 state remodeler of the year. Nan-tucket Architecture Group has also graced the cover of several design magazines includ-ing Cape Cod Life for distinctive interiors, Architectural Digest for island homes, and Home Magazine with a focus on colors and Electronic House for designing its Home of the month. Theroux, boasting a designer history span-ning nearly three decades, had run his own design firm in Nantucket from 1989 to team-ing up with current partner William Martin McGuire in 1996. Theroux started his career in the Southcoast with the Design Group, Inc. before moving on the Sturbridge Build-ing and Restoration, both in Fall River. He worked for Stanley Pinska Associates of New York as a job captain and Donald Prout Asso-ciates of Cranston, R.I. as a draftsman, then moving to Nantucket to work for Design Associates before opening his own firm that ran from 1989 to 1996. Co-owner McGuire


followed a similar path to their current situa-tion as Theroux did, running his own firm in Nantucket-William Martin McGuire Architect from 1984 to 1996. McGuire started his career as an Adjunct Professor of Architecture in Penn-sylvania before moving on to Dean Whitter Reynolds, Inc. and Simmons Architects of New York before moving on to Design Associates in Nantucket in the early 80’s. In addition to their numerous awards and magazine exposure, the pairs’ work has made it into several books including Dream Porches and Sunrooms and Designing the Perfect Retreat as well as in several television shows like HGTV Home and Garden Television featuring bed and bath designs, kitchen renovations and classic shingle-style homes. Theroux said with the firm’s many years of ex-perience and unique perspective on the require-ments of designing in the traditional New Eng-land-style home make them the perfect match for any job, large or small in any city or town, all with different images to uphold. “Our firm’s emphasis is on designing qual-ity projects for a wide variety of clients from all over the country and world,” said Theroux. “We coordinate the efforts of our consultants to pro-duce projects of outstanding craftsmanship and enduring character.” Theroux said when customers call their busi-ness, they will always get one of the owners on the phone, something you likely won’t find at many other firms. “We won’t pass you off to a junior owner here, one of the two owners will be taking care of you, from the initial design to the construc-tion,” said Theroux. “We don’t push our ideas on anyone and we also make sure the owners are a part of the process from beginning to end, because once we’re done, it’s not us living in the home, it’s the owners, and a home or room that doesn’t fit their needs does no one any good.” Theroux said they generally meet their clients through real estate firms or through contractors that have seen their work throughout the years where they sit down with the owners and discuss the scope of the project, the size, budget, and overall details. “It’s not just about details like ‘we want three bedrooms and two baths’ kind of home design. We find out how people live, how they entertain, how they have fun and how they will utilize the house,” said Theroux. “We want to fit the design to how they live rather then just a cut-and-dried, typical-kind-of-home.

that, and it may look nice from the inside of outside but won’t work with what the family needs. That’s why we try to take our time with our clients and meet sev-eral times to make sure they are getting everything that they want in this design.” Clients are then presented with larger scale drawings and then actual construc-tion drawings and specs before going out to bid. Theroux said any design, from the extravagant homes to the small remodels, will all be handled with the same care and time. “Our largest residential design was a 15,000-square-foot-home with a 5,000-square-foot guest house with a 600-square-foot swimming pool, tennis court and more,” said Theroux, who ad-mits his firm has a soft spot for shingle-style designed homes. “But we do every-thing from large to small, from a 10 by 12 foot bathroom renovation, to kitchen renovations to simple bedroom designs and even outdoor showers. I think if someone asked us to design a home for their dog, we’d even do that. We look at all projects.” With his parents still residing in West-port and his designing experience in Fall River, Theroux hopes that his firm will gain ground in all parts of New England in addition to the reputation they have built on the islands since 1993. “We’d like to do more in Cape Cod, the Southcoast and the Providence area. We done designs for homes in Mattapoisett and as far as Vermont and with new tech-nology we’ve been able to work with a lot of clients from abroad who have vacation homes here,” said Theroux. “We’ve got clients from England and Russia, who we have been working with, thanks to the in-ternet and just recently designed a home that is getting built in Seattle, Washing-ton. With this kind of technology, we can work with people all over the world and pretty much go anywhere to get just about any job done.”

OrpheumTheaTre


STORY BY MICHAEL J DECICCOEXCLUSIVE TO COASTAL LIFE

Arguably the most majestic building in the New Bedford's south end, it is the lone survivor of a street that was once a teeming row of

shops and other businesses called Water Street, until the construction of Route 18 forced the demolition of most of it.

A group called Orpheum Rising Project Helpers, Inc. is saying now's the time to bring the deteriorating , historic theatre back to life.

ORPHIC Inc. leader Charles Hauck said the building was saved when Route 18 was installed in the south end because it was too well-built to be torn down. "Two thousand buildings (in the south end), were torn down, including another

theatre two doors down," Hauck said. His group's mission is to preserve its

survival because of its history and its significance to the once bustling south end. "It would be a shame to just leave it alone to crumble away," Hauck said.

The theatre opened at 1005 Water St. on April. 15, 1912--the infamous day the USS Titanic sank--as one part of a building that also would house stores, a ballroom and the headquarters for a French sharpshooters club.

The club, 'LeFrancs Tireurs', had the building constructed using the design of noted architect Louis Destremps. The ground floor housed a butcher shop, a barber shop and a five and ten cents store, 'McCrory's'. The second floor

housed the lobby and main floor of the 1500-seat French renaissance style theatre, which featured a stage with a 30-foot high presidium arch.

The third floor housed the theatre balcony and an 80' x 60' ballroom that hosted dances and other functions such as drum and bugle corps. demonstrations. This floor also featured a kitchen, a club meeting room, a game room with ping pong and pool tables and a fully-stocked shooting practice range.

In the beginning , the theatre featured shows that rotated silent movies with vaudeville and novelty acts. It was strictly a movie theatre by the time it closed in 1958. The club sold the building in 1968.

He then sold RKO Pictures to a subsidy of General Tire and Rubber. In 1959 the name changed again to RKO General, Inc. RKO General was notable not for what they produced but what they released, a massive backlog of movies and shorts were all sent to televi-sion.

ORPHEUM THEATRE

PHOtOGRAPH By JOHN ROBSON


In between its beginnings and its closing, the thea-tre's history included being bombed during a 1930 projec-tionist strike. But the damage was swept and cleaned up in time for the next show, Hauck said.

During its vaudeville days, he said, it was part of the Or-pheum circuit whose founder Martin Beck had discovered Houdini, Eddie Foy and the Marx Brothers. The com-pany became "Radio-Keith-Orpheum" (RKO), the studio famous for films such as "King Kong" and "Citizens Kane", after Beck merged with Ben-jamin Franklyn Keith in 1927.

The New Bedford Or-pheum is the country's sec-ond oldest Orpheum theatre; the oldest that is still operat-ing was built in Los Angeles in 1911 and is now called the "Palace Theatre"

The theatre's final manag-

er, G. Albert Roy, told Hauck that famed sportscaster Curt Gowdy and famed Red Sox slugger Ted Williams visited the theatre and said they were the most comfortable theatre seats they had ever sat in. Roy also boasted having the best motion picture screen qual-ity, because the projector was closer to the screen than with other theatres.

The building had been va-cant for 50 years, except for ground-floor markets and office rentals on the second floor, when 20 local volunteers toured the interior in 2002.

By then, dust covered most of the interior, floors boards were buckling and paint and plaster were peeling, dulling the once majestic theatre's colors and designs. The group vowed to find a way to revital-ize the property and incorpo-rated as a non-profit as part of that effort.

Hauck said what's unique about the Orpheum structurally is that unlike other theatres it wasn't modernized as the age of vaudeville became the age of motion pictures. "It isn't full of Formica and aluminum," he said.

The group's mission, as stated on its web site, is to preserve, restore, protect and adapt the building and theatre with the goal of creating and operating a multi-cultural arts facility.

Hauck said the plan is to restore the theatre as closely as possible to its original, opening day condition. This work will be done in three stages. The first phase will focus on the second floor theatre lobby; the second phase will focus on the ballroom. "The third phase will be to take on the theatre," he said.

The project's cost estimate is approximately $10 million. The group, therefore, is currently focusing on outreach, an effort to find help with planning and funding the project. As a good first step, the city's historic preservation group, WHALE, has helped ORPH Inc. applies to place the building on the National Register of Historic Places.

"If we can get listed (in the national register)," Hauck said, "we could be included in a federal stimulus package, which would stimulate the whole neighborhood and could be part of any re-alignment of Route 18."

Much of the work to be done, he said, will be performed by volunteers, the only exception being what must be done by trade professionals.

The ultimate plan, Hauck said, is not to compete with the city's other revitalized theatre and community art center, the Zieterion. The Orpheum would focus on hosting community theatre and local art groups, perhaps even the UMass Dartmouth Center for the Performing Arts.

"Whatever we can do to make it an active and vital arts center," he said.

Wild Birdsof the american wetlands

Unprecedented project by award-winning photographer, Rosalie Winard, is a rallying call to save America’s endangered birds and wetlands

or over a decade, photographer Rosalie Winard has traveled

the country by foot, canoe, airboat, and ATV, taking pictures of large birds of the wetlands from Florida to California, Louisiana to North Dakota. Her lyrical images are punctuated with an ethereal palette of white, gray, and black and are alight with Winard’s passion for the avian world and its endangered terrain. Alternately meditative and exhilarating, abstract and literal, they capture the birds’ remarkable habits and prehistoric forms, as well as their ineffable elegance and humor.

WILD BIRDS OF THE AMERICAN WETLANDS is a monumental and breathtaking study of some of the country’s most beautiful birds—Great

Blue Heron, White Ibis, Snowy Egret, Sandhill Crane, Roseate Spoonbill, American White Pelican, Wood Stork, and many more––depicted in their vanishing habitats. Twenty-eight species are featured in the book. From the Ballona Wetlands in California to the prairies of Nebraska, Winard uses her thirty years of experience observing these winged creatures along with her mastery of photography to illuminate the importance of avian and wetland conservation.

Winard’s camera lens has replaced her binoculars as she searches for images that depict the birds’ elusive aspects and paradoxes: their simultaneous fragility and power, tranquility and action, stillness and momentum. At once a documentary photographer,

artist, and student of natural history, Winard, in each of her photographs, slips soundlessly into a vivid and detailed realism.

Rosalie Winard has spent the last 30 years enamored with wetland birds. She received a bachelor’s degree in natural history, with a specialization in ornithology and ethology. Winard worked for the National Science Foundation censusing bird populations in Florida before being led to documentary film, video art, and finally photography. Winard’s award-winning images have appeared in numerous publications including The New York Times, Artforum, Forbes and Le Monde and are in the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Library of Congress.

Wild Birds


This book is a poetic reminder of how ancient and essential the wetlands and waterways are to our communities. Her stunning photographs tap

something deep, almost primal…Let these graceful birds inspire us to pre-serve our wetlands, not only as a source of rich habitat and clean water, but

also as a reflection of our values and commitment to future generations.” ––Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., environmental activist

While the vision of a bike path from Providence, Rhode Island to Cape Cod has been around since the 1970’s-known as the Rails to Trails

vision after much of the trails are or will be located on old railroad tracks, the thought of linking the existing 3.5 mile Fairhaven Bike Path-that was completed in 1999- through Mattapoisett started gaining ground in the mid-1990’s. The idea wasn’t always welcomed in all circles of town due it’s the unknown of it all and some concerns that came with it. A preliminary design was begun in 2005 with the first mile of the path, to be known as the “Old Colony Mile” leading from the Mattapoisett/Fairhaven town lines to Mattapoisett Neck Road, was completed in 2008 for a total cost of $673,000.

Of that amount, $68,000 was appropriated by the town and the rest through state and federal funds. It was dedicated on April 19, 2009. But things are not going to get easy for Mattapoisset Bike Path advocates. The next leg of the bike path journey, the Shining Tides Mile leading from Mattapoisett Neck Road to Depot Street, will need funding to the tune of $2.1 million, $1.95 million of which they hope to secure from state and federal funds. If funding comes through, bike path representatives hope to have the construction start sometime in 2011. “The Shining Tides mile will go through the most environmental sensitive area and we will be planning historical markers and environmental signs along the way to let people learn about the area and the history that revolves around it,” said

Bonne DeSousa, President of the Mattapoisett Bicycle and Recreational Path. “We will have to construct two bridges and 800 feet of boardwalk. It may be the most expensive so far but it’s also the most beautiful and includes fabulous views of the harbor and beaches.” DeSousa said one of the questions she gets a lot, especially with the construction and popularity behind the first bike path mile, is no longer why they are building a bike path in the first place but why the construction is taking so long. Trust me, she said, if the various committees involved in the formation of the path had their way, it would have been built years ago. “The Massachusetts process in acquiring right of ways for the bike path is put into the hands of local government, which allows it to become

Blazing the Trail

What started as a dream of a few area residents hoping to link 20 miles of bike trails from the Fairhaven Bike Path through Mattapoisett and eventually Marion that they hope will one day funnel throughout

Cape Cod, that dream is getting closer to reality with every passing year.

a local and politically-motivated process,” said DeSousa. “And even though there is around $80 million in unspent bike path funding, we don’t know what to do to free up that spending. We need some kind of streamlining process.” The next two miles in the bike path include the Mattapoisett Dude Mile, named after the turn-of-the-century private luxury train that once came through town and the Old Rochester Mile. The Dude Mile, known as Phase 2A will take the path from Depot Street to North St. Park and Ride and Old Rochester Mile, Phase 2B, which will take it from the Park and Ride to the Marion town line. DeSousa said discussions with the Mattapoisett Housing Authority are continuing on right of way

status and property owners along the two miles are expected to be addressed in the summer or fall. The Bay Club has already provided land and widened the road adjacent to its property to allow for the bike path construction. The crossing of Route 6 is planned to take place during the Dude Mile construction, hoping to take place sometime in 2015 or 2016, where the path will leave Depot Street, go up Main Street and cross Route 6 at the traffic light, continue up Cathaway Lane and left on Acushnet Road although alternate routes could also be entertained. Because state and federal funds can only cover 90 percent of the construction costs, DeSousa’s group as well as the Mattapoisett Bike Path

Committee headed by architect Stephen Kelleher, along with bike path committees in Marion and Wareham, continue to pool their resources together to raise money for work to continue on the paths as well as funds to maintain the path once it does arrive. An April 26 Southcoast Pathways Challenge Bike run raised $2,200 for four area bike path committees and DeSousa said she’s hoping to put together a spring and fall ride every year to help people to see the advantages of the bike paths and what they mean to the community around them. The groups, which helped to raise $6,000 for the construction of the first mile, have also raised $45,000 in a separate fundraising endeavor this year, thanks

to an anonymous matching donation. The raised funds will go toward the $30,000 pricetag for the design of the Shining Tide Mile and hopes future funds can also help to raise money for bike path maintenance and upkeep. “While state and federal government will help to pay for design and construction of the bike paths, we are on our own for the maintenance end,” said DeSousa. While she admits there may have been some apprehension about the bike path idea initially, the construction of the first mile has kicked everything into high gear. “People saw that first mile and they took ownership of it, want it to continue on,” said DeSousa. “They see now that this can actually happen.” Adam Recchia, Senior Transportation Planner for Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District (SRPEDD) who works with a number of towns on their plan for bike path development, said planning and preparation for bike paths is definitely increasing

across southeastern Massachusetts. “Mattapoisett, Marion and Wareham all have bike path planning committees and fundraising groups now. Joint fundraisers have been held between Marion and Wareham already, and a joint three-town meeting will be taking place in August to make sure everyone is still in agreement on starting and ending points of the bike path between the towns,” said Recchia. “Wareham just hired a consultant to do preliminary design of their section of the bike path, based on SRPEDD's route recommendation done in 2007.” As for other planned bike paths in the works, Recchia said UMASS Dartmouth is planning to construct a portion of what would in the future be a bike path through the town of Dartmouth where they plan to incorporate the path into their ring road redesign, all part of the plan for an eventually connected bike path throughout the southern portion of the state. “That is the vision of the South Coast Bikeway, to have a dedicated bicycle facility all the way from the East Bay Bikepath in Rhode Island to the Cape

Cod Canal,” said Recchia. “The State also has a plan for 7 cross-state bikeways, one of which mirrors the South Coast Bikeway that SRPEDD has laid out.” As for Marion’s portion of the bike path, work has been in the process for a few years now, plans, like the Mattapoisett Bike Path before it, that are now starting to take shape. Ken Litke, Chairman of Marion Bike Path Committee said Phase I of the project will bring the bike path from the Mattapoisett/Marion town line to Washburn Park, which is centrally located within the Town of Marion. “The route largely follows the former route of the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Rail Road line and the New Bedford/Onset Electric Trolley line,” said Litke. “Phase II of the project will proceed from Washburn Park to Point Road, Point Road to County Road, then along County Road to linkup with the Wareham pathway.”Phase I is approximately 3 miles while the Phase II route, which is less determined at this time, is estimated to be about 1 mile.

Litke admits there is no funding in place for the Marion portion yet but hopes that that will change soon. “The main hurdle so far has been in securing all the necessary land for the pathway. However, progress is slowly being made and hopefully will be resolved for Phase I during 2009,” said Litke. “Construction of the Marion segment would complete a critical link in creating a regional pathway ultimately connecting the seaside communities of Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, Marion, Wareham, and beyond to Cape Cod and Carver trails. Asked for a timeline on the Marion phase 1 construction, Litke said they didn’t have a timetable due to their dependency upon acquisition of final piece of land for Phase I plus availability of funding. However, a potential timeline could be estimated at 2012-13. Despite their successes, DeSousa’s group remains a very small group of volunteers but she’s hoping to change that very soon. With more paths planned and yearly fundraisers needed to keep up the work before, now and in the future, DeSousa said its time for volunteers from all the area towns to step up and give their time to something everyone-not just bikers, but walkers, rollerbladders, can call their own-some surveys say less than 30 percent of the users of the bike paths are bikers and 70 percent walkers. There’s also more room for philanthropists who see the value behind a connected bike path. “We need ride coordinators, volunteer coordinators, and public relations people. If we could do more organized bike runs, I think it would be so much fun,” said DeSousa. “I want to work with people who have ideas for the path, who want to contribute to the enhancement of the paths. There’s still a major opportunity in naming a boardwalk or bridge for a significant contribution.” As for the future of the latest phase-Shining Tides Mile, DeSousa hopes to be done with the design and the necessary permits by the end of next year for construction to begin in 2011 with the only thing that could hold it up would be state and federal funding, money that she said has been already set aside and gone unused so far. “We’re just looking for a completed bike path that is safe that everyone can use and I think it was the Bike Path Committee’s perseverance that made this all possible,” said DeSousa. “It’s that perseverance that kept it alive all these years and now we are all benefiting from it.”

and a dash of


STORY BY JAY ALEXANDER

EXCLUSIVE TO COASTAL LIFE

his house is a rare find for everyone from an extended family down to a simple retirement home for parents or grandparents looking for a few sleepovers. t’s not everyday that you find a ranch with this much square-footage or unique perks or so far off the beaten path and that’s only the beginning of the things that set this Marion home apart from the hundreds we’ve seen over the years. Built in 1995, this sprawling 2,200-square-foot ranch sits on 3.3 acres of private land that screams of solitude standing. Just driving down its long, private road makes you feel like you’ve gone to a simpler place, perfect for people looking for peace and quiet and freedom from cars whizzing by their homes. The house itself is filled

with rare offerings, including oversized skylights that all open at the press of a button; massive cathedral ceiling throughout and the kitchen’s central vacuum system that allows you to quickly sweep a bunch of crumbs in front of the vent and hit the switch and their gone. “Sure beats finding a dustpan,” said home co-owner Kathy Lindquist. “Or those times when you just don’t want to take the vacuum out.” The house even includes a central intercom system, perfect for getting in touch with one or more wandering children who you are seeking to find to call to dinner, their nightly bath or to finish their homework. “It runs through every room in the house, even the garage,” said home co-owner Bob Lindquist. “You can play everything from

CD’s to radio to talking with someone. At Christmas time, we had Christmas music on all around the house. It was nice.” The gourmet kitchen is lined with Uba Tuba granite counter top and an induction two burner stove that heats up in seconds while keeping that heat centralized to just that pan. When it’s shut off, it also cools down within seconds, limiting the chances of burns on wandering children. “Nothing gets hot but the pan,” said Kathy. The insulation, according to Bob, is over and above the typical format for your average home. “It’s all two part foam, so instead of spending $3,000 for insulation, we spent $9,000,” said Bob. “Makes for good heating.”

T


The expanded ranch features an oversized attached two car garage and accompanying mudroom with its own entrance, a small outdoor mahogany deck adjacent to the mudroom, a hidden washer and dryer area and boot bench with storage area leading to the gourmet kitchen with tile floors, granite countertops induction stove, stainless steel appliances. “It’s a worker friendly kitchen,” said listing agent Bold Moves Realtor Kate Lanagan MacGregor. Although it can be used as an eat in kitchen, the area also features a sunny breakfast nook with a dozen giant windows facing the woods and wildlife surrounding the house. “The house includes deeded beach rights to the Wewantic River,” said MacGregor. In addition to an adjacent half

bath with a hand-painted sink near the kitchen as well as a large pantry area perfect for food storage, the kitchen area also features lights under all cabinets to help shine the way to that late night coffee cup or bowl for ice cream, connecting the kitchen to the living area is a massive see-through fireplace covered in classic stone where families can view not only while eating dinner but also relaxing after a hard day in the living room. A second outdoor mahogany deck is attached to the living area overlooking the woods while a wet bar sits on the other side of the fireplace that will be the focal point for parties or entertaining the night away. The first of three bedrooms leading from the living area-currently being used as an office space-features an accompanying full bath with tiled

floors while both bedrooms one and two show off stunning views of the massive forests that surround the property. All three bedrooms and hallways are equipped with hardwood floors and expanded closets. The third bedroom, or master suite features two walk-in closets, tiled floors, granite countertops, multiple skylights and a massive Jacuzzi tub, his and her vanities and a shower with double shower heads and bidet. “This would be a great retirement house. It’s rare to find this kind of gross living area all on one floor,” said MacGregor. “And it speaks to the quality of the workmanship in everything they did inside the house that you see everywhere you go.” The home also features an alarm system as well, Bob notes, along with an electric fence around the


perimeter to keep the dogs reined in, central air, an oversized water heater and a brand new burner assembly for the furnace. Although not included in the gross living area, the finished basement is a home within itself that speaks of potential office space, bedrooms or in-law set up. The basement bedroom includes his and her closets and recessed lighting and wall-to-wall carpeting. The basement features laminate floors and a fully tiled bathroom, a French drain system that has never been needed and a fully working wood stove in addition to other space that could be everything from an office to children’s playroom. A sliding glass door from the basement bedroom leads to the yard, which acts as its own drive-up, private entrance to the basement, adding credence to the potential for an in-law scenario. “It’s great for people looking for additional space or play areas and is a great spot if grown children come back to live with their parents,” said MacGregor. The double entrance driveway envelops a fully landscaped yard featuring a multitude of colorful flowers and shrubbery and includes sprinkler system in the front yard. “It’s a wonderful neighborhood, very quiet, with friendly neighbors who watch out for each other and host a variety of block parties throughout the years,” said Kathy Lindquist. The house includes a total of 8 rooms-four bedrooms including the basement, three full baths and a half bath and a single fireplace that could easily count as two. The house is listed at $599,000. §

Is Your Frontline RobbingYour Bottom Line?

Building a Better Business…

Do you know with utmost certainty if

your frontline, the people who deal directly

with your customers, are truly doing their

job to the best of their ability? Are they

consistently serving your customers, clients

or patients in the manner you expect them

to? If not, they’re more than likely affecting

your bottom line. It’s time to assess what

your expectations are of your frontline. You

need to investigate whether your frontline

is affecting your bottom line positively or

negatively.

Stop for a moment and consider that each

employee staffing your frontline represents

the entire company? One rotten apple

represents a company of rotten apples. Of

course, the opposite is true. One outstanding

individual also represents an outstanding

company. After all, the customer is always

right because what they perceive; they

believe. The frontline’s personality is the

company’s personality. While it may be

important to encourage individuality, it’s

also important for every employee to convey

your business’ image as you envisioned it to

be.

What kind of “face” does your frontline

wear? Before you ever consider doing any

advertising, it’s important to know that your

frontline isn’t hurting your bottom line!

Whether your frontline staff members are

highly paid professionals or minimum wage

part-timers; their skills, knowledge and their

awareness of what is expected of them are

key ingredients for not only defining your

organization’s image but providing excellent

customer service as well.

Great frontlines are not born; they’re

created from the finest ingredients. The

recipe for a great frontline requires attracting,

training and retaining the best employees

you can afford. If birds of a feather flock

together, then your best employees may

be the best source of new employees.

Good employees can also create and

provide a culture that attracts other people

to your business. Good employees are key

employees and their traits and skills need

to be passed on to new employees. A good

employee is a person you trust, empower and

reward. I’ll talk more about empowerment

later.

Learning to ride a bike requires

training wheels. Training is not just filling

someone’s head with information. Real

training requires constant communication, a

framework of expectations and the required

how-to instruction, as well as, the important

safety related do’s and don’ts. If many

problems in a marriage can be traced to

a lack of communication, the same holds

true for businesses. Scuttlebutt and rumors

are the result of poor communication. An

employee will eventually assume that the

lack of, or poor communication from owners

and managers, is an indication of their lack

of trust and also proves to the employee that

they are of little value to the organization.

As for the employee handbook, you

only get out of it what you put into it. The

employee handbook is a communication

tool. The training given to new employees,

its quality and duration is also a form of

communication. It does much more than

contain and identify the organization’s rules.

It communicates expectations because, after

all, that’s what rules are. Pavlov’s dogs were

trained to have expectations. A ringing bell

meant food. Expectations can be linked

to empowerment. Empowerment is a very

powerful communication tool. It says, “I

trust you. I value your judgment. I depend

on your skills, experience and education to

make common sense decisions that benefit

o u r

customers and the company as a

whole.” Isn’t that what you expect of your

employees?

Instead of empowerment, many

businesses practice enablement.

Empowerment and enablement are the yin

and yang of employee performance and

appear quite similar. However, the outcome

of each is very different. Are you enabling

your employees to become bottom line

bandits? Have you provided your poorly

performing employees with the resources,

authority, or opportunity to become what they

are? So many businesses are responsible for

feeding the monsters they complain about.

Are you? Do you? Wouldn’t empowering

them be better? Give them the authority

to serve customers beyond their wildest

expectations. Empower them and you give

them a greater sense of confidence or self-

esteem while demonstrating that they do

belong and are an important company asset.

After all, in order for any of us to be happy,

we need a sense or proof of control, affection

and belonging.

Next time, in part two, we’ll look at how

businesses can reengineer their frontline

simply and effectively. Until then, I’ll leave

you with one thought from the legendary

Henny Youngman. His stock in trade joke

was, “Doctor, it hurts when I do this.” To

which the doctor replies, “Don’t do that!”

That’s just the first step in preventing your

frontline from robbing your bottom line.

This is Part 1 of a two part series. Please read Part 2 of Is Your Frontline Robbing your Bottom Line in the next issue of Coastal Life.

September is NATIONAL HONEY MONTH

THE BUSY BEEHoney bees are the only insects that produce a food con-sumed by humans. Honey is produced in one of the busiest yet most efficient factories in the world - a beehive.Honey bees are social insets with a marked division of labor among the various bees in the hive. A colony contains on a queen, 500 to 1,000 drones and about 40,000 to 60,000 workers.The matriarch of the colony is the queen. Nurtured on a special diet of royal jelly, the queen is the only sexually de-veloped female in the hive. A few weeks after hatching, the queen mates with drones in flight. The drones, which are stout male bees that lack stingers, fulfill their single purpose in the colony by mating with the queen. During this "mating flight," the queen receives millions of sperm cells that last her entire two-year span. A productive queen will lay up to 3,000 eggs a single day. The sexually undeveloped female bees perform the work of the colony. Once hatched, these worker bees do a sequence of jobs - cleaning the nursery, caring for and feeding the larvae, collecting nectar making wax comb, guarding the hive and fanning their wings to keep the hive cool. To make a pound of honey, the worker bees must forage nectar from millions of flowers. To communicate the loca-tion of nectar sources, the bees perform several different and distinct dances.

POLLINATIONS - The Bees' Second ShiftIn addition to gathering nectar to produce honey, honey bees perform a vital second function - pollution. As bees travel from blossom to blossom in search of nectar, they transfer the pollen from plant to plant, thus fertilizing the plants and enabling them to reproduce. Almonds, ap-ples, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranber-ries, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelon and many other crops all rely on honey bees for pollination. The U. S. De-partment of Agriculture estimates that about one-third of the human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants and the honey bee is responsible for 80 percent of this pollina-tion. A 1999 Cornell University study concluded that the direct value of honey bee pollination to U.S. agriculture is more than $14 billion.

The color and flavor of honeys differ depending on what blossoms the bees visit in search of nectar. Honey color ranges from almost colorless to dark amber brown and its flavor varies from delectably mild to richly bold. As a general rule, light-colored honey is milder in taster and dark-colored honey is stronger. Some honey varieties have a very dis-tinctive flavor while others have very subtle flavor variations. In the United States there are more than 300 unique types of honey produced, each originat-ing from a different floral source. Common honey floral sources include alfalfa, avocado, basswood, buckwheat, clover, eucalyptus, fireweed, orange blossom, safflower, tulip poplar and tupelo.

HONEY VARIETIES - It all depends on Where the Bee Buzzed

ing the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650, featuring 85 objects from the RISD Museum’s outstanding collection of Renaissance and Baroque printsas well as objects from major public institutions such as the National Gal-lery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Visitors to the exhibition will receive a privileged view into this prized resource. Although most people see and even touch an engraving every day—US currency and many stamps are engraved on steel—few artists work in the medium today. In the Renaissance engraving was new, and one of the world’s first reproducible art forms, full of possibility for the spread of designs of all types throughout Europe.

The Brilliant Line ,on view fromSeptember 18, through January 3, 2010,focuses on the height of the medium, from 1480 to 1650, when engravers made dra-matic and rapid visual changes to engraving technique as they responded to the demands of reproducing artworks in other media. The Brilliant Line follows these visual transforma-tions and offers new insight into the special inventiveness and technical virtuosity of Renaissance and Baroque (Early Modern) en-gravers. The exhibition will travel to the Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL in April, 2010.

Renaissance engravings, objects of exqui-site beauty and incomparable intricacy, are composed entirely of lines. Using a burin (a metal tool with a lozenge-shaped tip), an engraver carves recessed grooves into a copperplate. After the plate is inked and its flat surfaces wiped clean, the copperplate is forced through a press against dampened paper, onto which the ink pulled from inside the lines transfers, printing the incised image

in reverse. Artists began using this intaglio process in Europe as early as 1430.

Engravers learned quickly from one another by buying and trading engravings and meet-ing fellow practitioners on transcontinental travels. The exhibition takes an international approach, following connections among engravers from Nuremberg, to Rome, to Paris, and the cumulative effects of the knowledge they shared. Objects on view lay out the medium’s continuities, or “systems”—those visual tricks that responded so well to the pictorial problems of tone, texture, and volume—while highlighting the exceptional ingenuity of individual engravers. Visitors will be invited to think about the relationships between spectacular prints by Albrecht Dürer and Marcantonio Raimondi, Cornelis Cort and Agostino Carracci, or Martin Schongauer and Robert Nanteuil. Where many Renais-sance print exhibitions have emphasized the regional specificity of particular schools, as-sembling all printmaking techniques together, this exhibition outlines the fluid geography

of engraving and the particular history of one medium as it was shaped by its specific applications and circumstances of production.

The exhibition also features an exciting collaboration between Associate Curator Emily Peters and RISD Associate Professor of Printmaking Andrew Raftery, a practicing engraver. Raftery redrew and analyzed several engravings in the show, creating an interac-tive in-gallery and online Flash program that allows visitors to visually unpack engraving’s complex visual language. A video features Raftery engraving and printing. Through this and other key comparisons in the gallery, the exhibition brings the early modern engraver’s working process to life. The online compo-nent may be found at www.risdmuseum.org.

PUBLICATIONAccompanying the exhibition, a 156-page catalogue, The Brilliant Line: Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650, includes over 150 images, with many magnified details of engraved lines, and three essays, by exhibition curator Emily J. Peters, Evelyn

The Brilliant Line: Following the Early Modern Engraver, 1480-1650


Lincoln (Associate Professor of Art History, Brown University), and Andrew Stein Raftery (Associate Pro-fessor of Printmaking, RISD). Topics addressed include how engraving’s restrictive materials and the physical process of engraving itself informed its visual language; the context for the spread of particular engraving styles throughout Europe as well as their re-ception; and the interests, knowledge, and skills that Renaissance viewers applied when viewing and compar-ing engravings by style or school. The catalogue is published by the RISD Museum ($49.00 soft cover).

ORGANIZATIONThe Brilliant Line is organized by Dr. Emily Peters who is a specialist in Northern Renaissance art, with a focus on printmaking in the Netherlands in the 16th century. She is Associate Curator of Prints, Drawings and Pho-tographs at The RISD Museum. Since joining RISD in 2005, she has curated ten exhibitions, including From Dürer to Van Gogh: Gifts from Eliza Metcalf Radeke and Helen Metcalf Danforth;

British Panoramic Landscapes, 1750-1810; and Design and Description: Renaissance and Baroque Draw-ings. Her publications include the recent Renaissance Quarterly article, “Printing Ritual: The Performance of Community in Christopher Plantin’s La Joyeuse & Magnifique Entrée de Monseigneur Francoys...d'Anjou (Antwerp, 1582), 2008. Dr. Peters is a member of the Print Council of America and CoDART (Curators of Dutch and Flemish art).

The RISD Museum of Art, a world-class museum in Providence, RI, was founded as part of Rhode Island School of Design in 1877. Its perma-nent collection of more than 84,000 objects includes paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, costume, furniture, and other works of art from every part of the world, including objects from Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and art of all periods from Asia, Europe, and the Americas, up to the latest in contemporary art. In addition, the Museum offers a wide array of educational and public programs.

SOLAR HEATInG & HOT WATER SySTEMSWith a simple investment of only a few thousand dollars,

the average household can supply 50 – 75% of their hot

water and home heating needs with the clean, efficient

renewable energy of the sun.

Newenvironomics can install the industry's leading solar

heat and hot water heating technologies and products,

including evacuated tube solar collectors, flat plate solar

collectors, solar hot water storage tanks with integrated

internal heat exchangers, external solar hot water heat

exchangers, system controllers and circulators, solar heat

dumps, and pre-packaged solar heat & hot water heating

systems.

They can assist you with a Free Home Analysis or Site

Visit and Survey to help you choose the correct solar water

heater for your application, location, and budget. And, you

can take advantage of the best solar incentive – knowing

that over the course of a few short years, your Solar Hot

Water Heater will save you enough money in heating costs

to have completely paid for itself. Solar Water Heaters

are not simply a great tool for heating your domestic and

potable hot water – in fact, many Americans are turning

to solar energy to help heat their entire homes and offices

because of the rising costs of electricity, fuel oil, and

natural gas.

did you knowSince the turn of the

century, there have been major advancements in solar power and their efficiency; this includes the 2005 release of solar shingles. Here’s how they work They capture sunlight and transform it into energy. Most Solar Shingles are 12 inches wide (when stacked have 5inches of exposed area) by 86 inches long and can be stapled directly to the roofing cloth.

Roof tiles provide optimal solar cell placement and eliminates shading from upper roof tiles. They also require less roof space and allows for optimal system placement Solar-shingled roofs have a deep, dark, purplish-blue color, and therefore look similar to other roofs in most situations.

They have aesthetics that are positive in some peoples’ opinion. unlike other upcoming alternative resources for the home, such as wind turbines or home diesel generators (to reduce transmission costs), they are not obviously solar collectors. Shingle roof tiles are all-black in design to blend into Flat or S-Tile roofs. Solar shingles are more expensive to install than typical PV panels, but the extra cost is sometimes considered a small price to pay for the aesthetic benefits.

Also, the solar shingles offset the cost of traditional shingles for that section of the roof.Reducing the overhead and using "grid connected" solar roof tile technology makes solar systems a standard option like granite countertops, making solar an affordable solution to reduce electricity costs.

Chimmey Balloon Is Your Fireplace Chimney Letting in a Cold Draft or Odors? A metal fireplace chimney damper can warp or break over time and use. This causes a cold air draft and odor to enter your home, and heat to escape.

The chimney balloon, also know as a chimney pillow, is a removable & durable device that has been saving families home heat for more than 20 years. It stops airflow, odor, and debris from flowing through your chimney. This prevents chimney odor & cold drafts from entering your home, and prevents heat from escaping. Available at: www.chimmeyballoon.com

Winter is approaching!

NoW is the time to take steps to reducing those high heating costs.

Beauty with a purpose was the guiding aesthetic for Charles and Henry Greene, acclaimed architects and designers of the American Arts and Crafts Movement in the early 20th century. Known for their signature “ultimate bungalows,” the brothers designed “total living environments” for their clients, including the architecture, furnishings, and even the surrounding landscape. Their unique vision embraced an appreciation of nature and the return to hand-craftsmanship in a world increasingly dominated by the uniformity of the mechanized age.

A celebration of their work, offering the most comprehensive examination to date of their contributions, is presented in A “New and Native” Beauty: The Art and Craft of Greene & Greene at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), July 14 through October 18, in the Lois and Michael Torf Gallery.

The exhibition is supported at the MFA by the Windgate Charitable Foundation, the MFA Associates/MFA Senior Associates exhibition endowment Fund, and the Felicia Fund. Programming support is provided, in part, by Guardian Stewardship. Support for the national tour of the exhibition is provided by the Ayrshire Foundation, the Henry Luce Foundation, the Steve and Kelly McLeod Family Foundation, the Windgate Charitable Foundation, Joseph D. Messler, Jr., the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, and Margaret Winslow.

A “New and Native” Beauty has been organized by The Gamble House, USC, and The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, California, in cooperation with the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

sALEM THEATRE COMPANYANNOUNCES SEVENTH SEASON


Any woman who has ever worn a pair of jeans has Iris Apfel to thank.

In the 1940s, when only lumberjacks and field hands wore blue cotton denim, a persistent young girl hounded the owner of a Wisconsin Army & Navy store until he finally ordered her a pair of boy‐sized denims.

Her intent: to wear them with a turban and large hoop earrings.

Such was an early milestone in the career of a fashion visionary and muse who quite possibly launched a trend in women’s fashion — jeans — that now represents a 10 billion dollar industry yearly in the U.S. alone.*

And that was just the beginning. Inspired by the music of Duke ellington, Billie Holiday and other jazz musicians, Iris Apfel was already synthesizing high and low, classical and ethnic elements in her manner of dress and aesthetic outlook. The result is a life and career of remarkable creativity and verve proving that it’s not only what you wear, but how you wear it.

Rare Bird of Fashion: The Irreverent Iris Apfel will be on view at the Peabody essex Museum October 17, 2009 through February 7, 2010 featuring more than 80 dramatic ensembles from the personal collection of legendary tastemaker and style icon Iris Apfel. Known for her eclectic permutations of designer clothing and exotic baubles, Apfel has inspired bold developments in the clothing and design industries through her spirited irreverence and pitch‐perfect taste.

Now in her 86th year, she continues to challenge visual culture with radical juxtapositions of far‐flung influences. These spectacular and unexpected wardrobe

combinations are exhibited with inventive staging and playful displays that underscore Apfel’s inexhaustible creative spirit.

“Not only does Iris Apfel possess a finely‐tuned sense of personal taste, but her ability to combine diverse fashions — from haute couture to flea market finds, street style to tribal dress — is astonishing and endlessly inventive. Her use of fashion as an artistic medium is revealed in her sophisticated handling of color, line, pattern, texture, and ornament,” said Paula Richter, Curator for exhibitions and Research at the Peabody essex Museum.

as Apfel in assembling daily attire, all can find inspiration to take risks and regard apparel and the wide world of accessories as a means of creative self‐expression and a source of joy. Couture and flea market finds, haute and — not — all have their place in the imagination and closets of the divine Iris Apfel.

THE ARTS

HARRY NADLeR; Geometric Abstraction has been extended through September 13, 2009. This remarkable retrospective, by one of the great abstract expressionists of the last century, has been drawing enthusiastic response.

This is Harry Nadler's first exhibit since his solo show at the David Findlay Gallery in New York in 2006.

Hilton Kramer of The New York Times, wrote: "The attempt to capture in a purely abstract imagery the quintessential quality of light and color...is a hazardous pictorial ambition, but Mr. Nadler has met the challenge...with remarkable success"

Vivian Raynor, of The New York Times wrote: "Mr. Nadler's geometry is jauntier (than Mondrian)...his brushwork closer to Cezanne's".

Upon reviewing the current exhibit at Gallery 4, Bill Van Siclen of The Providence Journal wrote:

Mr. Nadler's work is in the permanent collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum, The Fine Arts Museum, Santa Fe, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY, and Storm King Art Center, NY, among numerous others.

A story that the artist told throughout his short life was about a "golden bird". One Day, when he was 8, Harry was walking home carrying a picture he had made in school. He came to a dark tunnel and was afraid. His painting of a beautiful, golden bird radiating tropical colors shone in the dark. He lost all his fear. That image of beauty, flight, darkness and the power of his own image-making stayed with Harry Nadler all his life.

Gallery 4 is located at 3848 Main Road, Tiverton 4 Corners, RI 02878. Hours Mon-Sat 10-5, Sun 11-5. Tel 401-816-0999 www.gallery4tiverton.com

Nilton Cardenas’ “Living in Memory” exhibition which includes paintings and drawings made by the renowned Peruvian artist. For this collection, Cardenas transported memories from his ancestors to the present day. He works in a contemporary style with cultural passion for his country and a beautiful mixture of forms and colors. When viewing his handiwork, you take a voyage where people and mysteries, once locked in silent memory, emerge from his native country, Peru, and transfer the spectator into a mythical and legendary adventure.

Nilton Cardenas was born and raised in Lima Peru. At the age of 20, he and his

family moved to Florida and then settled in Providence, Rhode Island. Nilton studied journalism at San Martin de Porres University and painting at Jose Sabogal Institute in Lima. He has exhibited his art in group and one-man shows in the US and Spain.

Nilton actively promotes art and Latin culture in his local community. He has also been developing his talent with Providence’s young people through his activities as art teacher in summer and after-school programs. Nilton Cardenas has been recognized and praised by state and local officials due to his constant support, dedicated work, and significant impact on children through art.

“His representations reveal the myth and mysticism, and above all that he compresses his art into magic as the magic of someone who draws from his roots memories! This is the way his paintbrush will always tell a story, a legacy whether in his landscapes or his abstractions. Because, to paint with blood and sun you need to be living in memory”
