THE VINE Summer 2012 News from Wistariahurst Museum Volume 7 Issue 3 THE VINE Summer 2012 News from Wistariahurst Museum The Skinner Legacy Tour The Skinner Family are famed nearly as much for their philanthropic gifts as they are for business innovation and expertise in producing high quality silk and satin fabrics. In the tradition of late 19th century industrialists, much of the money the family made in business was returned to the community as donations to support the construction and development of various institutions—a chapel, a hospital, a city library, a gymnasium, a coffee house and even a state park. Join the curators of Wistariahurst and the Joseph Allen Skinner Museum for a jaunt around Holyoke and South Hadley to learn more about how their endeavors in industry and philanthropy overlapped. The program includes transportation and tours of various Skinner venues. Participants will get an insider tour of the Skinner Chapel of the United Photo courtesy of Wistariahurst Congregational Church to see the beautiful stained glass windows and William Cobbet Skinner learn of the dedication of the chapel. The Joseph A. Skinner Museum will offer a tour of the eclectic collection featuring more than 6,000 objects and a special exhibition highlighting the collecting life of Joseph Skinner. The tour will include a stop at the Orchards, a former home of Joseph Skinner and his family in South Hadley. While in town, the group will also visit the Orchards Golf Course, host of the 2004 U.S. Women’s Open. Founding Director of the Donald Ross Society, Michael Fay, will present “20 Minutes with Donald Ross” dressed in plus‐fours, and refreshments can be enjoyed on the deck of the clubhouse. Join us for a day filled with interesting site visits and an enriched history about the Skinner Family Legacy. The Tour will take place on Saturday, June 30 from 12:30 to 4:15 p.m. Please call the museum to make a reservation. Tickets $30 per person, $25 for students and seniors Wistariahurst Landscape is Going Organic Last fall, the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) awarded grant funds to community organizations and municipal departments to support demonstrations of organic land care in public community spaces. Consultant Bernadette Giblin is collaborating with the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission to bring organic lawn projects to 5 Parks/Public spaces in western Massachusetts, and Wistariahurst Museum and the City of Holyoke are part of the project With the support of grant funding, Wistariahurst will have the opportunity to create and promote healthier communities by raising awareness and educating people about safer alternatives. The grant funds will provide Wistariahurst with financial support for organic materials, staff development/ training for grounds crew, educational outreach and community workshops. The Community Program has fostered the development of unique partnerships around TURI among many diverse groups. These collaborative efforts have addressed toxics in and around schools, municipal buildings and operations, households, recreational activities, and small businesses. Wistariahurst already has an active garden educational program series and volunteer community gardeners who are invested in promoting best practices of gardening and landscape management. Wistariahurst Museum 238 Cabot Street, Holyoke, MA 01040 413‐322‐5660 www.wistariahurst.org David Poppie presents new works in: Strike, Dip and Draw May June Gallery Exhibition Local Artist David Poppie is represented by Pavel Zoubok Gallery in New York and the Richard Levy Gallery in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. He has been reviewed in the New York Times and has been featured in Sculpture Magazine. He lives and works in Easthampton, MA. David Poppie will be showing his latest work – collages built of matchbooks, paint sticks, and colored pencils in the Wistariahurst Gallery. In the past few years, Poppie has been working with different series characteristically focusing on one object‐ whether it is a used tea bag, match book, colored Photograph by John Polak pencil, paint stick or bottle cap. By utilizing disposable objects and re‐ contextualizing them into works of art, Poppie challenges us to reassess their value and to think about the disposable nature of our contemporary culture. In Strike, Dip and Draw each piece has a unique, defining “mark” within the pieces; from the anonymous strike of the used matchbook, the exposed pencil lead of the pencil, to the dipping of the paint stick into reclaimed paint. Each series projects multiple objects being placed together to form a composition. Strike, Dip and Draw is on view throughout the months of May and June 2012. Admission to the gallery $3 In the Gallery: Paint Flowers! Contemporary Floral Painting/Nineteenth Century Roots July-August Gallery Exhibition Opening Reception: Friday, July 6, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. This summer, Holyoke‐based artist Nancy Howard will curate a show of contemporary watercolor and oil works inspired by 19th century painting in the Wistariahurst Gallery. Included in the show will be two paintings from the Museum collection and recent works from several Pioneer Valley artists, including Greg Stone, Caleb Colon, Martha Armstrong, Katy Schneider and Howard. During the late 19th century, the natural world became important for artists, thinkers and writers of post Civil War America. Plants and flowers were studied, collected, classified and catalogued from all over the globe. Flowers had long been a popular subject for painters and poets throughout the ages. With observations of flowers and still life, direct painting flourished, and combined with a free use of color and brush, linked works from the past to modern paintings today. Join us at Wistariahurst for the opening reception of Paint Flowers! On Friday, July 6 or visit Borlotti Bean and Flowers the gallery on Saturday, Sunday and Monday afternoons from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. by Nancy Howard Admission to the gallery $3 Summer Lecture Series: History that Highlights Summertime Fun Monday evenings at 6 p.m. in the Carriage House. This Summer Wistariahurst Museum will host a series of lectures and movies about local summertime activities. These lectures will inspire you to get outside and learn about outdoor sites and activities you can take part in here in Holyoke or nearby. Speakers include, Jay Ducharme, speaking about Mountain Park Memories; Ellie Lobovits of The Trustees of Reservations will identify things to do outdoors in Holyoke; Matt Villamaino of the Dept of Conservation & Recreation will give us some history of Skinner Mountain and the Summit House; and Bob Schwobe will be on the big screen with the airing of his documentary productions about the Mount Tom Range. The lectures and movies will take place in the air‐conditioned Carriage House on Monday evenings at 6 p.m. during July. See event listings for exact dates. Suggested donation $5 Viola da Gamba Historical Concert Performance Saturday, June 16 at 3:00 p.m. Joseph Maria Antonio is a professional musician who specializes in historical performance. He will perform a concert that is an Rodalva introduction to the viola da gamba and its versatility. The viola F. da gamba is a beautiful instrument, developed in the mid‐late fifteenth‐century that is about the size of the cello, but with six credit strings and frets. Born to a Portugese family in Ludlow, MA, Joseph Maria Antonio’s Photo passion for music led him to Seville, Spain where he studied flamenco guitar. He studied viola da gamba with Maestro Rami Alqhai for several years in Spain and has participated in many musical projects from chamber music to fado, playing in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Finland, Germany and the United States. Joseph Maria Antonio’s performance on June 17 will showcase the multi‐faceted abilities of the viola da gamba; sometimes being played like a violin, other times like a cello, a guitar or a lute. Music for the program will range from the mid to the late baroque; compositions written for the viola da gamba and the violoncello, with pieces from the French school (Marais and Forqueray) and German (Abel and Bach) as well as an addition of some fun Celtic pieces. Tickets $10/ $8 students & seniors Jack Kowal Swing Band Sunday, June 17 at 3:00 p.m. Come out for a swingin’ good time on Father’s Day! Bring your dad, a picnic and chairs or a blanket and sit out on the lawn to hear members of the Jack Kowal Swing Band playing good music and having a great time! The band which has been playing together for almost 10 years, is bringing its big band sound to Holyoke! Founded by Jack Kowal and Rip Bourgignon, this group plays in the style of the old time jazz big bands. The nineteen‐piece band loves to play at local events and share their upbeat sound with the community, and they say their purpose is “not to make money, but to play good music and have fun doing so!” So have fun with them at Wistariahurst this summer! You’ll find yourself tapping your toes to their original arrangements, and dancing in your seat as they play scores by ensembles like the famous Glenn Miller Orchestra. Rain date Sunday, June 24 at 3 p.m. Free, donations accepted Holyoke Youth Strings Concert Thursday, August 2 at 6:00 p.m. The Holyoke Summer Strings 2011 Program will present a Summer Concert on the lawn at Wistariahurst.

Patrick, Governor Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., Secretary John P. Murray, Commissioner Resource Management Plans provide guidance for managing properties under the stewardship of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the Department to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in the DCR’s stewardship efforts. As I travel the Commonwealth, I am reminded of the variety of high-quality experiences offered by DCR parks. Those within the Mount Holyoke Range Planning Unit are among the best that this state has to offer. They provide a variety of recreational opportunities, from challenging hikes along mountain ridgelines, to family picnics on a promontory overlooking the Connecticut River Valley, to taking in a summer concert in downtown Holyoke. Although they may all be visited in a single day, the true character of these parks is best revealed through repeat visits. In addition to providing outstanding recreational opportunities, these parks protect important natural and cultural resources.

In this exercise, pairs of students visited the City of Holyoke in order to identify and discern individual neighborhoods and districts. Additionally, students were asked to note important pathways, “edges” or boundaries, and nodes of activity. Landmarks – including historic structures, and newer but notable sites (and sights!) were also located on the maps. After sharing conceptions of neighborhood layouts, the information contained on each map was compiled into the following Community Map for the City of Holyoke. Each district is lettered, and descriptions of each district appear below. Nodes and paths can be identified according to the map’s legend; individual landmarks are pinpointed and labeled on the accompanying map. District A: The Mt. Tom District and East Side Sub-district The boundary of this district encircles Mt. Tom, and south to Easthampton Rd. The East Side sub-district includes the land east of Interstate 91 to the Connecticut River, including the railroad tracks and Route 5 (Northampton St.).
