Prospect Senior Center 6 Center Street Prospect, CT 06712 (203)758-5300 (203)758-3837 Fax Lucy Smegielski Mar.-Apr.2020 Director - Editor Municipal Agent Highlites Town of Prospect STAFF Lorraine Lori Susan Lirene Melody Matt Maglaris Anderson DaSilva Lorensen Heitz Kalitta From the Director… Dear Members… I believe in being upfront and addressing things head-on. Therefore, I am using this plat- form to address some issues that have come to my attention. Since the cost for out-of-town memberships to our Senior Center went up in January 2020, there have been a few miscon- ceptions that have come to my attention. First and foremost, the one rumor that I would definitely like to address is the story going around that the Prospect Town Council raised the dues of our out-of-town members because they are trying to “get rid” of the non-residents that come here. The story goes that the Town Council is trying to keep our Senior Center strictly for Prospect residents only. Nothing could be further from the truth. I value the out-of-town members who come here. I feel they have contributed significantly to the growth of our Senior Center. Many of these members run programs here and volun- teer in a number of different capacities. They are my lifeline and help me in ways that I could never repay them for. I and the Town Council members would never want to “get rid” of them. I will tell you point blank why the Town Council decided to raise membership dues for out- of-town members.

What in the World Wednesday #5? Wray Museum Young Historians Fancy Eggs
What in the World Wednesday #5? Wray Museum Young Historians Fancy Eggs #2000.395.16 Collection of 25 handcrafted “Boutique” Egg Dioramas The month of May is national egg month and what better way to celebrate the egg then with a miniature diorama. Thelma Maureen (Funk) Schmidt enjoyed crafting even though she suffered greatly from crippling arthritis. She made bread dough dolls, and sewed doll clothing. At the Wray Museum we have a collection of 25 fancy egg dioramas. Each charming miniature is planned and hand-built with incredible attention to detail. By using all types of traditional and some not so traditional crafting supplies, she created a variety of scenes inside her eggs including Native Americans, covered wagons, farm homesteads, gardens, and holidays. She won many grand champions and best of show ribbons at the local and Colorado State Fairs. Her collection of eggs was donated by Frances Smith. Eggery the Art of Egg-Crafting The humble eggshell, which in most homes ends up in the garbage can, is the basic working material of a devoted and enthusiastic group of crafts people. Using a variety of craft techniques, these egg-crafters, egg artists, or eggers, transform ordinary eggshells into charming ornaments. The outside (and sometimes, the inside) of the shell is decorated with tiny jewels or beads, by decoupage techniques, by gilding or etching, and even by embroidering. Although they are most often used purely for decoration, they can also be functional items such as jewelry boxes, fancy pendants, brooches, toothpick holders and tiny vases. Many egg-crafters use their decorated eggs as tree ornaments, table toppers, or give them as gifts.

Using Mixed Media with Polymer Clay Design by Lynn Krucke Many Crafters Have Discovered the Fun and Excitement of Combining Stamps, Papers and Inks with Polymer Clay
FREE Using Mixed Media with Polymer Clay Design by Lynn Krucke Many crafters have discovered the fun and excitement of combining stamps, papers and inks with polymer clay. Now let’s take the partnership to the next level! The products and supplies used here are available at your local stamp, craft or art store. Polymer clay is so versatile —- the possibilities truly are endless! The Basics: Your work area - Tools (cookie cutters, pasta machines, baking sheets…) should be dedicated to crafting and not used again for food. Polymer clay contains pigments that may stain surfaces or damage finished wood surfaces. Do not place unbaked clay on furniture, flooring, carpeting, upholstery or fabric. A sheet of glass, freezer paper, a large ceramic tile, or a dedicated marble cutting board are all good work surfaces. Condition the clay - For best results condition clay before use. “Conditioning” means that the clay has been kneaded and warmed so ingredients are evenly mixed and the clay is flexible. If you have a pasta machine dedicated to crafting, great! Cut the bar of clay into thin strips and run it through on the thickest setting several times. Conditioned clay is warm, pliable, and has a soft sheen. It doesn’t crack along the edges when rolled in sheets. To condition by hand, cut clay into small pieces: knead and roll one of the pieces in your hands until it is soft and pliable; set aside, and condition another chunk —- then add to the first. Continue this way and you will soon have an ample supply. Don’t try to condition the whole bar at once.

Trashmagination Podcast #83 – Egg Shells and Cartons
Trashmagination Podcast #83 – Egg Shells and Cartons Welcome to Trashmagination, a podcast about reimagining trash. I’m Carla Brown. Today we’ll talk about the creative reuse of egg shells and cartons. My family puts egg shells in the compost and we give our egg cartons to a local farmer who reuses them. We also sometimes rip up our egg cartons and throw them in the composter if it’s getting too wet in there. If you want to keep it simple, those are great options. But today I’ll share a bunch of other ways to creatively reuse egg shells and cartons. Egg Shells Creative Reuse Let’s start with ideas unrelated to making art. In the kitchen, you can grind up egg shells to scrub pots. You can also use egg shells to clean a glass bottle that you can’t reach inside. You crunch up the egg shells, add soapy water and swirl it around to scour the inside of the bottle. You can make sidewalk chalk from ground-up egg shells mixed with flour [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r07- m70t34A]. You mix it into a thick clay, roll it into logs, and then wrap it in a towel or dry it in a silicone mold. You can grow baby plants in egg shells [https://www.hellowonderful.co/post/diy-eggshell-planters/]. You can also put crunched up egg shells in your garden to discourage slugs and snails from eating your plants. So now let’s talk about ways people make art and craft from egg shells.

The Easter egg Richard: For this week's podcastsinenglish.com we're talking about Easter egg customs. Jackie: Yes, and the first Easter egg custom has to be the giving of chocolate eggs. Now, Richard, as a child you got chocolate eggs, didn't you? Richard: Oh, definitely. Normally in a big box and often they contained sweeties inside, the... the chocolate egg. Jackie: Chocolate buttons. Richard: Chocolate buttons or... Jackie: ...sometimes there are even smaller, little chocolate eggs as well. Those are fun. Richard: ...or smarties. Things like that. Jackie: And what many people in the UK look forward to between Christmas and Easter is the sale of Cadbury's creme eggs. Richard: [laughs] Very, very, sweet. Jackie: But fantastic, lovely chocolate on the outside with white and yellow inside so it looks just like an egg when you open it. Richard: Mmm, very sweet. Jackie: Mmm, very nice. Um... it's not just chocolate eggs though, Richard. Normal eggs, chickens' eggs, hard-boiled eggs er... are very popular. Especially um... egg decorating and painting of eggs. Richard: Yes, they often have competitions, don't they, for children to decorate their eggs. Jackie: Mmm, I remember um... decorating an egg as a child and making them lots of different colours. My father painted um... eggs before we cooked them so when we had them in the morning we'd have little faces or... or things on the eggs and that was always fun.

February 2018
February 2018 The Chicago Southwest Suburban Community The Center gives people of all faiths, Parish and Community Center Foundation backgrounds, and ages the space to Sunday services 12:30pm and 4:30pm dream, grow, and become fully alive— http://www.thecenterpalos.org 708-361-3650 physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. “A place for celebration, enrichment and healing” A Message from Our Executive Director I don’t know about you, but for me, it seems like Thanksgiving was just last month. Where does the time go? It just flies by the older I get! Someone once said the reason time seems to go so fast the older you get is be- cause when you’re young, a day is a larger portion of your total life. When you’re older, a day is a smaller por- tion of your total life. Does that make sense? I suppose what’s important is how old you feel. I’m still feeling forty…so that’s good. I’ll take it! It’s February and we have two events I’d like to tell you about. February 15 is our annual “Night to Linger” at Hackney’s Restaurant in Palos Park. This event is a kickoff fundraiser for our 2018 camp scholarship fund. All proceeds will help children from families in our area who are struggling to make ends meet financially. If a family qualifies for financial assistance, we will help them with a partial or full scholarship so their child can come to camp just like any other child. The Center and its fellowship have provided this caring assistance for over seventy years.

AG Reading Room Final.Indd
A Linda Komaroff with Sandra Williams || Los Angeles County Museum of Art B ABDULNASSER GHAREM PAUSE 1 Artists often play the role of a social conscience by visualizing episodes of violence and upheaval, helping us to frame and appreciate our own reactions. Picasso’s painting Guernica, for example, is a masterful response to the aerial bombing of the Basque town in 1937, while the lesser-known but equally powerful work by London-based Iraqi artist Dia Azzawi Massacre at Sabra and Shatila depicts the slaughter of Palestinian refugees in southern Beirut in 1982. Both use abstraction to represent horrifically gruesome events and each, through the distance of time and space, has become as much an artistic icon as a portrayal of a human tragedy. It is perhaps too soon to gauge how or which works of art may one day embody the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001, but already there is one potent visionary, Abdulnasser Gharem, who has created a remarkable body of work born in the aftermath of this infamous date. That he is a Muslim, an Arab, and a lieutenant colonel in the Saudi Arabian army will likely provide added resonance for an American audience, while serving to remind us that terrorism is experienced worldwide. For Gharem, like most of us, seeing the World Trade Center destroyed on television was one of those terrible moments that seems to make the earth stand still or pause; he learned soon after that two of the hijackers were former classmates. Gharem has deeply absorbed this notion of pause into his work as an occasion to examine certain universal dichotomies that can lead us to choose our own life’s path.
