BAKE AND PLANT SALE
It’s
Mother’s Day!--the time of year when you take Mom out to eat and
enjoy a nice meal together. But you are too full for dessert.
That’s OK ‘cause by the time you get back to Mom’s house you can
whip out a nice dessert you bought from the ladies mission group at
the Bake and Plant Sale at the Northwood Advent Christian Church.
You haven’t missed the sale! It is Saturday, May 10, 9-12 at 113
School Street (Route 107) in Northwood in The Narrows. Oh! Some
perennial plants would make a nice gift, too.

Two
Coe-Brown Art Students Receive National Recognition In The
Scholastic Art Awards & Writing Awards
Coe-Brown Northwood Academy Art Department chair Scott Chatfield is
pleased to announce that Leanne Baratier and Elena Smith both of
Strafford received national Silver Medal Awards in The 2014
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards administered by the nonprofit
Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The Scholastic Art & Writing
Awards, the country’s longest-running and most prestigious award and
recognition program for creative students in grades 7–12. In
addition, all National Award–winning high school seniors, including
Miss Baratier and Miss Smith are now eligible to apply for a special
pool of more than $8 million in scholarships, set aside specifically
for them through partnerships with the Alliance and esteemed
colleges and universities around the country.
“The
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards serve as clear validation of young
artists’ and writers’ creative talent, persistence and promise in
their respective fields,” said Virginia McEnerney, Executive
Director of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the
administrator of the Scholastic Awards. “It is our honor to share in
these defining moments of achievement for our nation’s teens and to
elevate their unbelievable talent on the local, regional and
national levels. We see it as a privilege to support them on their
journey to becoming artists, writers, designers, doctors, business
owners or any aspiration they are determined to realize.”
This
program year, a record-breaking 255,000+ works of art and writing
were submitted to more than 100 affiliates of the Alliance for
regional adjudication. Students who received regional Gold and
Silver Keys, as well as Honorable Mentions, have been celebrated in
all corners of the country. More than 100,000 regional award
recipients’ families and friends gathered at local exhibitions,
ceremonies and readings nationwide to recognize student works
spanning the Scholastic Awards.
From
the outstanding pool of regional Gold Key recipients, an impressive
panel of creative-industry experts chose more than 1,800 of the most
talented students—representing 47 U.S. states as well as students in
Washington, D.C. and American schools abroad—to receive national
medals. These artists, authors, critics, educators and skilled
professionals blindly judged works based on originality, technical
skill and the emergence of a personal vision or voice—the original
three criteria of the program’s founding in 1923.olleges and
universities around the country.
To
celebrate the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards’ national winners, the
Alliance will kick off this year’s National Celebration in New York
City on June 5, 2014 with the first annual Maker Prom—a party with
interactive art-making stations—at the Roosevelt Hotel, as well as
the grand opening of the Art.Write.Now. National Exhibition, a large
selection of award-winning art and writing that will be on display
at Parsons The New School for Design and the Pratt Manhattan
Gallery. On June 6, 2014, students will be honored during a special
awards ceremony live-webcast from the world-famous Carnegie Hall,
where they will be joined onstage by this year’s Alumni Achievement
Award Recipient, Kay WalkingStick, whose career retrospective will
open in 2015 at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American
Indian. Following the ceremony, the annual Scholastic Art & Writing
Awards Benefit will take place at The Edison Ballroom, and to
further amplify the festivities that evening, the iconic Empire
State Building will be lit in gold.
For 91
years, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have fostered the
creativity and talent of millions of students through recognition,
exhibitions, publications and scholarships. Alumni of the Scholastic
Awards have gone on to continue their education at many of the top
colleges and universities across the country, including Maryland
Institute College of Art (MICA), Rhode Island School of Design
(RISD), Parsons The New School for Design, Carnegie Mellon
University, Harvard University and Columbia University. Since its
founding, the Awards program has identified the early promise of
some of our nation’s most exceptional visionaries, including alumni
such as Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Philip
Pearlstein, Sylvia Plath and John Updike, all of whom won when they
were teens. More recently, Stephen King, Myla Goldberg, Zac Posen
and Lena Dunham have become celebrated alumni of the program.

Alliance is grateful for its generous sponsors, who provide funds to

Letter
Dear
Lake Shore Drive Neighbor?,
Happy
Easter.
This
past week you struck our dog with your big car. Thank you for
driving at the speed limit or less. Very sorry to put you in that
position.
Miraculously, Goliath, sustained no real damage; a couple of cuts
and an abrasion to his chin. We checked him for half an hour
afterward, and nothing hurt him. Zero limp, no blood in urine or
stool.
You
were the perfect motorist. You drove slowly in this densely packed
neighborhood. You saw him, braked, and then you stopped. It was
nighttime.
God
bless you.
FYI
That is only the second time in the last 2 years he has been loose
on the street with me at the helm.
