By Cathy Cone Cathy Cone’s “Grasp the Sparrow’s Tail” is one of two shows opening at BigTown Gallery in Rochester. BigTown Gallery opens two new shows for May Saturday, May 11, 3 p.m.—ROCH- ESTER—BigTown Gallery is pleased to announce two shows by artists Cathy Cone and Jason Horwitz coming to its Main and Center gallery spaces from May 8 to June 23, titled “Grasp the Sparrow’s Tale” and “Pilgrimage.” Cathy Cone is a photographer and painter who is educated in programs at Ohio University, Vermont Studio Center, and the Main Media Photographic Workshops. Her work explores the liminal space inhabited by the relationship between what is known about the world and the parts of nature that exist just beyond the limits of human understanding. Her subjects are chosen by what speaks to her visually, and the process that unfolds is one of layered revelation. She describes her own artistic practice in a way that resembles a scientist’s approach to collecting evidence or specimens from the natural world: “I take a slice of life through my camera lens in an attempt to see what I missed.” Jeff Boyer brings ‘Bubbles’ to Fair Haven Wednesday, May 15, 7 p.m.—FAIR HAVEN—The Fair Haven Free Library and Fair Haven Grade School will once again collaborate to bring Jeff Boyer’s “Bubble Trouble” program to Fair Haven Grade School. This event will take place on Wednesday, May 15 in the Fair Haven Grade School gym beginning at 7 p.m. This is an interactive bubble show that is fun for the whole family. Guests may see a bubble volcano or bubble roller coaster, even a student or an adult in a bubble. Boyer juggles Outsider artist Jason Horwitz’s “Pilgrimage” will be exhibited in the Center gallery space. Horwitz has pursued art throughout his life outside the official channels of study, finding inspiration through religion and visions of Jesus that began when he was 15 years old. He vividly describes the experience of awaking in his bedroom in Brooklyn, New York, with the image of the early morning sky transposed on the familiar walls surrounding him. Brightly upon it, in a place of great prominence, was Venus. As he looked at Venus, there, too, emerged Jesus Christ upon the cross. Horwitz’s work reflects the spiritual pilgrimage he embarked on at a young age, incorporating an otherworldly radiance and psychedelic reverberation. Both shows will feature in the gallery from May 8 to June 23, with an opening reception for both on Saturday, May 11, from 3-5 p.m. BigTown Gallery is located at 99 North Main St., Rochester.

NEWS BRIEFS 24 • The Mountain Times • May 8-14, 2019 lr LAKES REGION By Julia Purdy Pure Water for the World welcomes Nicholas Mancus RUTLAND—Pure Water for the World, Inc. (PWW) recently announced Nicholas Mancus will be its new executive director, following an extensive search and interview process led by a team of board members and close advisors. Mancus will succeed Carolyn Crowley Meub, who is retiring this year having served as the organization’s executive director for 17 of its 20 years of existence as a nonprofit. Under Meub’s dedicated leadership, PWW has grown into a highly respected, impactful international organization that has reached hundreds of communities and hundreds of thousands of people in Haiti and Central America with life-changing safe water and sanitation solutions. “I’ve known Pure Water CU women’s hockey raises $2,831 The Castleton University Women’s Hockey Team presented Rutland Regional Medical Center with a giant pink check April 16 for $2,831, to the Foley Cancer Center in support of RRMC’s breast care program. The dollars were raised at CU’s annual Pink the Rink Jan. 25. Attending the presentation were physicians and staff from the Foley Cancer Center, CU President Karen Scolforo, Athletic Director Deanna Tyson, Head Coach Mike Venezia, and members of the ice hockey team. For over 10 years Pink the Rink has raised over $60,000 to support the breast care program. “We are so grateful to Castleton University and the women’s hockey program for their continued support of the Breast Care Program,” said Linda McKenna, director of oncology at the Foley Cancer Center. “These young women set an incredible example of compassion and commitment to such an important cause.” CU hockey shines Twenty-six Castleton University hockey players were awarded places on the New England Hockey Conference All-American Teams April 16. To be eligible, students must keep at least a 3.0 GPA and have completed one full year at their college. The men numbered 14 for the second straight year, while the women numbered 12 – three more than in 2018. Among the women, Aimee Briand, Jocelyn Forrest, Jade Remillard and Rylie Wills were three-time recipients of the award. Felicia Bialvergard, Bre Babiarz and Nicolle Trivino were named to the team for the second time. Of the men, Caleb Fizer, Dan Fitzgerald and Wyatt Pickrell were three-time recipients, and Brian Leonard, Jacob Erwin, Mark Shroyer and Troy Taylor each were honored for the second time. for the World for years,” Mancus said. “I have loved watching this organization evolve and grow and have deeply admired Carolyn’s and the PWW team’s work.” Nicholas Mancus said he is particularly impressed by PWW’s emphasis on educational training and its monitoring programs that extend for years after the programs have been implemented; something he feels strongly differentiates PWW from many other WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) organizations. “It is an honor to assume the reins of executive director,” Mancus said. “I am looking forward to Historic bridge could get new lease on life Honoring Vermont’s legacy slate industry building on the existing momentum, working with the team and the board to evaluate opportunities that will help the organization scale-up activities, increase our impact, and THE SUCCESS OF THIS MOVEMENT OUTGREW THE ROTARY CLUB’S CAPACITY. East Poultney is a hamlet that retains all the charm of a 200-year-old community, but it faces an urgent 21st Century problem. Vermont Bridge No. 7, a one-laner that leads south out of the hamlet, is ailing, with an overall rating of fair, VTrans representatives told the Poultney Select Board April 8. They presented alternatives for the town’s consideration.There is a hole in a floor beam, the concrete is deteriorating, a truss is missing, and the bridge is functionally deficient due to substandard rail width, they reported. Built in 1925 and reconstructed in 1968, the historic camelback pony truss bridge spans the dramatic Poultney River gorge. It’s a Class II road posted for nine tons. VTrans recommends replacing the entire bridge to a minimum standard width, including a sidewalk and a 75-year life. The road would have to be closed for 12 weeks. The total cost would be $2,683,176, with the town paying $134,159. The project would start in 2023; the town has about six months to decide. The Slate Quarry Park Group, a private nonprofit organization of community leaders in Poultney, envisions a privately-funded park to be located at 76 Main St. The parcel will be transferred to the town June 1. Brian Post of Standing Stone Landscape Design in Springfield is the lead landscape architect, who presented a preliminary design featuring a slate wall at the April 8 meeting of the Select Board. Post told the board he would submit the final plan to the board in time for its meeting May 13. The construction plans will be completed May 15 and will go out to bid, with a projected start date of July 15. benefit more people.” Originally from California, Mancus joins PWW having spent nearly 30 years implementing WASH projects in sub-Saharan Africa. Most recently, Mancus has served as country director in Cote d’Ivoire with Helen Keller International. He currently chairs the operations committee of WASRAG, the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group that brings together thousands of members of Rotary Clubs around the world interested in improving water and sanitation conditions. Mancus has a strong background designing, implementing and managing successful programs. He has worked extensively with communities in Africa to help build local capacity and has aided many organizations to achieve efficacy and reach their impact goals. He will leverage this skillset and experience in his new role that he will step into on May 1. PWW began in 1994 when a dentist from Brattleboro traveled to El Salvador to provide medical services. Moved by the poor living conditions, he vowed to make a difference. After rallying colleagues in his Rotary Club, he returned with a mission to bring potable water to the villagers.
