FEBRUARY 2019 NL Final Final Editpages.Pages FEBRUARY 2019 Presidents’ Message. The January 4th SNN Board meeting covered a lot of ground. Highlights: (1) there is general approval of the current level of membership and, at present, there will be no attempts to aggressively seek additions, although new members will always be welcome; (2) various suggestions were made for volunteer opportunities and Jack Sample noted that Habitat for Humanity is considering sites in Sandwich, which may be an opportunity for us (more on this later); (3) to help all of us, but particularly the new members, we will be adding identifying photos of new members, if and as submitted, to the Newsletter; (4) we will also be trying to set up a bank of individual photos of all members; (5) Marie Luck provided a plethora of suggestions for special events (homemade ravioli coming soon, see below); (6) finances are a bit tight, but dues will remain as presently set for the time being. Any and all comments are solicited and appreciated. The MEMORIES section of the Newsletter has had very good support so far and we’d like to keep the flow going. Anne Sayer has a piece this month. You will find it interesting. And see if you can spot Anne and Wade in the accompanying picture (hint: two rows from the center, near the door on the left, or not). And we should note that Candice Murphy did not get proper credit for her MEMORIES submission last month. Thank you, Candice. Best wishes to all during the ice/rain/snow and/or we’re not here season! Kit and Mike Sullivan A NEW CONCEPT, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, FROM TOM CLARK Fellow members: I would like to start a gardening club and am looking for suggestions/comments. My idea is to have a “roaming“ meeting, meaning we would go to different members gardens and plant/work on each other’s gardens. Also, we could all have access to each other for suggestions and help with problems, and for possible solutions. I am happy to offer my help and have offered to be a Coordinator. I have been gardening for over 40 years (not that I have all the answers; we can all learn from each other). So, that is the core idea behind this concept. Maybe it’s something that you’ve wanted to try, but never had the time or a support group. Gardening is very rewarding. So please, let’s get some suggestions and feedback. Tom Clark. I can be reached at [email protected]. PS: And a related note: Before moving here, I belonged to a community garden, and I think it would be great if we could somehow get a plot or two in the community garden in Sandwich. We had a very enjoyable experience with that back home. I understand the Board is already working on this; let’s hope it happens. Editor’s note: Tom’s says peas can be planted in March; everything else starts in May. ————————————————————————————————————————— UPCOMING ACTIVITIES FOR FEBRUARY 2019 To Newcomers who might be interested, the following fundraiser is being held: Boston Celtics Owner Wyc Grousbeck and Forbes Editor Randall Lane Will Discuss “All Things Celtics” at Fund for Sandwich Fundraiser in February The Fund for Sandwich of The Cape Cod Foundation has announced that Wyc Grousbeck, entrepreneur and co-owner of the Boston Celtics, will speak in Sandwich on Monday, February 4, 2019, at 6:30 p.m., at the historic Sandwich Glass Museum.

While America was economically wealthy after the war, it still had to deal with extremely difficult social and cultural challenges. Due to these new aspects of life, there were increasing differences in both the interests and values of children and their parents, what we have learned to call the "generation gap". The "generational gap" between the youth culture and their parents meant a polarizing society, each hating and completely misunderstanding the other.. This eventually resulted in a highly political youth culture that was laterally opposed to the government. Through isolation, the counterculture began to develop new philosophies and new ways of thinking, and a huge part of that philosophy was the pursuit of a "Good Society", a utopian dream for world peace.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE presents A TESTAMENT TO THE SHEER JOY OF LIVING A LIFE OF SERVICE TO HUMANKIND AND OUR PLANET THE WAVY GRAVY MOVIE: SAINT MISBEHAVIN' RELEASES NOVEMBER 15 ON DIGITAL AND DVD An unforgettable trip through the extraordinary life of a poet, clown, activist and FUNdraiser “’Saint Misbehavin’’ is an unabashed love letter to the world that defies the cynicism of our age.” – The New York Times September 19, 2011 – “Some people tell me I’m a saint, I tell them I’m Saint Misbehavin’.” Poet, activist, entertainer, clown. These are a few ways to describe Wavy Gravy, an activist and prominent figure during the Woodstock era who continues to spread a message that we can make a difference in the world and have fun doing it! THE WAVY GRAVY MOVIE paints a moving and surprising portrait of his lifelong passion for peace, justice and understanding. The film features extensive verité footage and interviews with Wavy telling his own stories: from communal life with The Hog Farm, to his circus and performing arts camp, Camp Winnarainbow, to the epic cross-continent bus trip through Europe and South Asia that led to the founding of the Seva Foundation. Award-winning director Michelle Esrick weaves together this compelling film with rare footage from key events: Greenwich Village beat poets and folk music, Woodstock, non- violent protests, and many seminal moments of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and Wavy’s present day life. The Gaslight Café The year was 1958. The Vietnam War had just begun. Born as Hugh Romney, Wavy commanded the stage as a poet, comedian “tongue dancer,” and MC at The Gaslight Café in New York City’s Greenwich Village.

  • Altered States: the American Psychedelic Aesthetic
    ALTERED STATES: THE AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC AESTHETIC A Dissertation Presented by Lana Cook to The Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April, 2014 1 © Copyright by Lana Cook All Rights Reserved 2 ALTERED STATES: THE AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC AESTHETIC by Lana Cook ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University, April, 2014 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the development of the American psychedelic aesthetic alongside mid-twentieth century American aesthetic practices and postmodern philosophies. Psychedelic aesthetics are the varied creative practices used to represent altered states of consciousness and perception achieved via psychedelic drug use. Thematically, these works are concerned with transcendental states of subjectivity, psychic evolution of humankind, awakenings of global consciousness, and the perceptual and affective nature of reality in relation to social constructions of the self. Formally, these works strategically blend realist and fantastic languages, invent new language, experimental typography and visual form, disrupt Western narrative conventions of space, time, and causality, mix genres and combine disparate aesthetic and cultural traditions such as romanticism, surrealism, the medieval, magical realism, science fiction, documentary, and scientific reportage. This project attends to early exemplars of the psychedelic aesthetic, as in the case of Aldous Huxley’s early landmark text The Doors of Perception (1954), forgotten pioneers such as Jane Dunlap’s Exploring Inner Space (1961), Constance Newland’s My Self and I (1962), and Storm de Hirsch’s Peyote Queen (1965), cult classics such as Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), and ends with the psychedelic aesthetics’ popularization in films like Roger Corman’s The Trip (1967).

  • The Last Bedraggled Fan Sloshed out of Max Yasgur's Muddy Pasture More Than 25 Years Ago. That's When the Debate Began About Woodstock's Historical Significance
    The last bedraggled fan sloshed out of Max Yasgur's muddy pasture more than 25 years ago. That's when the debate began about Woodstock's historical significance. True believers still call Woodstock the capstone of an era devoted to human advancement. Cynics say it was a fitting, ridiculous end to an era of naivete. Then there are those who say it was just a hell of a party. The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969 drew more than 450,000 people to a pasture in Sullivan County. For four days, the site became a countercultural mini-nation in which minds were open, drugs were all but legal and love was "free". The music began Friday afternoon at 5:07pm August 15 and continued until mid-morning Monday August 18. The festival closed the New York State Thruway and created one of the nation's worst traffic jams. It also inspired a slew of local and state laws to ensure that nothing like it would ever happen again. Woodstock, like only a handful of historical events, has become part of the cultural lexicon. As Watergate is the codeword for a national crisis of confidence and Waterloo stands for ignominious defeat, Woodstock has become an instant adjective denoting youthful hedonism and 60's excess. "What we had here was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence," said Bethel town historian Bert Feldman. "Dickens said it first: 'It was the best of times. It was the worst of times'. It's an amalgam that will never be reproduced again." Gathered that weekend in 1969 were liars and lovers, prophets and profiteers.
