Original post made by Jenny Studley, Old Mountain View, on Mar 9, 2013
Information:Verismo Opera <www.verismoopera.org>
Tickets: The Fox Theater <www.foxrwc.com> or650-369-7770
Performance: April 28, Sunday, 2:00pm, Tickets: $22-$42. seniors, students, children 18 and under $22.00
Fox Theater, 2223 Broadway St., Redwood City, CA 94063
On the 200th anniversary of the great opera composer Giuseppe Verdi's birth the FOX THEATER in REDWOOD CITY will host the opera IL TROVATORE on April 28, 2013 at 2pm.One of the composer's greatest masterpieces, this is an event sung by a stellar cast who has sung on the stages of San Francisco Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, and in Europe.The opera will be produced with the collaboration of two regional opera companies:Bay Shore Lyric Opera and Verismo Opera with orchestra and English supertitles.
With ticket prices approaching $300 for a seat at the San Francisco Opera, it's no wonder opera is often perceived as an elite, acquired taste of the well to do. For a parody of the fanciness, think of the Marx Brothers' 1935 classic "A Night at the Opera."So what do you get for a mere $22-42? What you get is a labor of love provided by the excellent talent of Verismo Opera. Verismo Opera was founded by long-time San Francisco Opera chorister Fred Winthrop who has performed in over 5,0000 opera productions with: Opera Pacific, Long Beach Opera, Los Angeles Opera, San Diego Opera, Honolulu Opera and San Francisco Opera and has sung on stage alongside international vocal celebrities such as Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo and even sang in one of their famous Three Tenor Concerts. Fred developed an ambition to bring opera to the community at affordable prices. Marsha Sims, the Associate Director of Verismo Opera is a resident and music teacher, right here in Redwood Shores.
Big companies like SF Opera or the New York Met spend millions on elaborate sets and large orchestras. Verismo Opera necessarily follows a chamber music tradition of a small orchestra and modest sets.But the most important aspect of an opera production is the quality of the singers, and Verismo Opera boasts a first rate level of talent:Jennifer der Torossian, Frederick Winthrop, Liliane Cromer, Christopher Wells, Eric Coyne and Marsha Sims. Few places in the world are blessed with the number of gifted singers found in the Bay Area.
Hear some of Verdi's most melodious music including his exciting Anvil Chorus sung by Spanish gypsies. Set in Spain in the early 15th century, the opera is full of dramatically powerful scenes: tales of flames at the stake, kidnapping and revenge master-minded by Azucena, the conniving gypsy woman; a mysterious troubadour and Leonora who loses her heart to him; the drama of war waged on a castle fortress; and two brothers separated at birth who unknowingly become mortal enemies
The FOX THEATER was built in 1929 and was used as a movie house and later a live performing arts center where stars from BB King to Vanessa Williams have performed.The 1400 seat theater now owned by Lori and Eric Lochtefeld has gone through a renaissance with new lights, carpeting, and remodels that have made this theater the next big entertainment hub on the Peninsula. Now the peninsula cities can enjoy all the great shows, operas and bands right in their own backyard, at great prices and no traffic and parking nightmares that come with traveling to San Francisco.Check out their website to find Broadway Shows, Symphony, Big Band Swing, and now Opera.

Larry King wears suspenders.
by Helioseismology December 31, 2005
The Larry King is a variation of the widely used 69 position, only when your girl goes down on you, you let out a massive fart. Preferably the fart is silent so she doesn't hear it coming. Television personality, Larry King, typically rips 4 or 5 of these beauties during his live broadcast. For added authenticity, leave your suspenders on while enjoying the Larry King.
Last night was so great, Rona and I went back to my place and I gave her the nastiest Larry King. What can I say? She loved it.

|Getting Started
Chinese Exclusion and the Establishment of the Gate-keeping Nation
Urban, Andy
The popular history of immigration to the United States has for the most part focused on European experiences and stories. The history of Chinese immigration offers different lessons. When Chinese immigration began with the California Gold Rush it was in many cases welcomed. By the 1870s, however, the United States experienced the rise of anti-Chinese movements, mostly originating in California, but growing to receive national support. These movements were spurred by an economic depression and the belief among white laborers that Chinese immigrants were "coolies" working for wages that undermined white standards of living. In addition, opponents of Chinese immigration accused the Chinese of being members of a "barbaric" and "heathen" race, who promised to introduce disease, drug use, and other pernicious cultural practices into American life. In 1875, Congress passed the Page Act, which greatly curtailed the immigration of Chinese women to the United States by requiring them to seek entry visas from American consular officials stationed in Hong Kong and other ports, prior to departure. Consular officials were predisposed to judge Chinese women as "immoral" threats who would work in prostitution in the United States. As a result, Chinese immigrants in the United States in the nineteenth century tended to be overwhelmingly male, and, ironically, furthered accusations by white Americans that they had no desire to bring their families and settle permanently. By 1880, both the Republican and Democratic parties supported restrictions on Chinese immigration in their official platforms.
In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which barred laborers of the Chinese race from entering the United States (merchants and students were exempted). Previously, the 1870 Naturalization Act, which formally extended citizenship to African Americans, denied Asian immigrants the right to naturalize as citizens. In 1892, the Geary Act renewed the Exclusion Act and added the legal requirement that all Chinese immigrants register with the government and carry photographic identification proving their right to be in the United States. The enforcement of the Geary Act affected American-born Chinese citizens alongside Chinese immigrants.
During Chinese Exclusion, which lasted until 1943 – and was not fully abolished until 1965 – Chinese immigrants adopted numerous tactics to circumvent what they felt were racially discriminatory laws. Chinese men and women immigrated as "paper" sons and daughters, for example, establishing fictive familial relationships to American-born Chinese and exempted merchants, in order to be admitted. Other Chinese immigrants illegally crossed the Mexican and Canadian borders into the United States, leading to the establishment of the Border Patrol in order to police their exclusion. As Erika Lee and Judy Yung note, "Chinese immigrants and Chinese American citizens lived their lives in the shadows, anxious about their immigration status, harassment by immigration officials, and personal safety."
William Wu Fong
Kelly, Samantha, Macphee, Chris, Park, Jenifer, Urban, Andy
William Wu Fong claimed to be born in the United States. However, there was a lack of documentation to verify that this was the case. Due to the Chinese Exclusion laws that allowed only merchants and students to enter the United States, it was important that Fong had all of his documents in order before leaving the United States. Fong intended to visit China to see his family and to get married. In order to make his re-entry into the United States easier, Fong filled out a Form 430. The purpose of this form was to establish Fong's American citizenship and to allow for a quick re-entry without an additional investigation.
When Fong filled out the Form 430, the only piece of documentation that he had was his discharge papers from the United States Army. However, on his military discharge papers there was no proof of his birth in the United States. During several interviews with immigration officers, Fong was unable to answer all of the questions posed to him. This may be due to the suggestion in the Chinese immigrant "coaching books" – books used to guide Chinese immigrants on how to answer questions from immigration officials in order to gain entry into the United States – to answer questions as vaguely as possible to avoid being caught in a lie.
Immigration officials did not believe that the testimony of Chinese immigrants was very reliable. When Fong was interviewed, he was required to provide two white witnesses who could verify his status as a merchant. Fong selected George Randles, a wholesale grocer who conducted business with the Foo Nema Low Chinese Restaurant at 198 Mulberry Street in downtown Newark, where Fong claimed to work as the manager (thus qualifying him as a merchant). When Randles testified the first time, he spoke highly of Fong and verified that he worked as a manger at the restaurant. Randles, however, eventually went back to the immigration officials and rescinded his statement, claiming that since his testimony, he had not seen Fong at the restaurant. The immigration officials assigned to the case decided to make multiple visits to the restaurant to verify whether Fong was a manager there. On both of their visits to the restaurant Fong was not there. As a result of Fong not being at the restaurant and Randles retracting his testimony, Fong's Form 430 was denied.
This was not the end of Fong's quest to receive an approved Form 430. Fong hired an attorney to help his cause. In the meantime, it appears that Fong took advantage of the willingness of certain federal judges to naturalize Chinese immigrants who served in World War I, even though under the terms of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Chinese immigrants were barred from naturalizing. During World War I, Congress had enacted a law that said that if an immigrant served in the military, than that immigrant could immediately become a naturalized citizen. According to the rationale of the law, by serving in the military the immigrants demonstrated patriotism, assimilation, and the qualities of a "good American." Although the law was intended primarily to fast-track the naturalization of European immigrants who had served in the Armed Forces, it created a contentious debate over whether Chinese immigrants, who were allegedly unassimilable, could also become citizens. Fong's naturalization as a citizen was either redundant, since he claimed to have been born in Oakland and therefore would have possessed birthright citizenship, or evidence that his story was not entirely true.
The DREAM Act, which went before Congress in 2010 but was not passed, relates directly to Fong's experience. Similar to World War I, the DREAM Act stated that if an immigrant were to serve in the military, then their naturalization would be expedited. The Act poses the question: if an immigrant is willing to fight for the rights of the United States, then should they not also possess the rights of an American citizen?
Chan Kee and Ng Hoong Low
Urban, Andy, Heggs, Danielle, Montoya, Andrea, Muniz, Danielle, Pericic, Iva
Chan Kee arrived in Seattle, Washington on June 7, 1921 on the steamship Princess Charlotte. Chan came to the United States as a Section Six merchant under the Chinese Exclusion Laws. At first, Chan was denied entrance because he had Trachoma. Then, on August 15, 1921, he applied for admission again and was admitted because he produced a medical certificate stating he was healthy. On November 9, 1921, Chan Kee obtained permission to move to New York to work at the Quong Yick Yuen Company. By 1924, he ran the George Chan Laundry at 96 French Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In 1924, Chan Kee applied for a Laborers' Return Certificate so that he could go back to China. Chan overstayed his visit in China, and a raid in Hong Kong found a fraudulent doctor's certificate that belonged to him. (The raid was conducted to investigate a doctor in Hong Kong who was found to be falsifying medical reports. The falsified medical reports allowed Chinese immigrants who had returned to China for visits to extend their visits beyond the allotted one-year period, by stating they were ill and could not travel.) On February 16, 1926, Inspector-in-Charge A.W Brough asked the Commissioner General in Seattle that the Consul General Roger Tredwell in Hong Kong be notified if Chan Kee attempted to reenter the US. According to the file, he never did.
Ng Hoong Low (alias Ng Sang Toy) was born in China in or around the year 1895 in the Sun Ning District. He claimed that he originally arrived in San Francisco when he was approximately 21 years-old. Ng was a laborer in a Chinese laundry located at 377 15th Avenue in Newark, New Jersey. Ng was not a qualified Chinese immigrant under the Chinese Exclusion Laws. He was a laborer who could not prove his birthright citizenship status. He claimed he was never questioned by immigration officials when he arrived in San Francisco and that he did not know the name of the ship he was supposedly brought to America on. Ng gave conflicting statements concerning his parents and his birth in California or China, and claimed to serve time in the United States military but could not produce a draft card. Upon further review of his case by immigration officials, an arrest warrant was issued for Ng. When Ng appeared for a medical appointment at the Newark Eye & Ear Infirmary located at 77 Central Avenue in Newark to treat his trachoma, he was taken into custody by authorities.
Upon reviewing the National Archive files for Chan Kee and Ng Hoong Low, it was interesting to see the amount of effort that was put forth in policing the laws governing Chinese immigrants. To obtain entry into the country, they were subjected to a series of tests and had to possess enough resources to be considered a successful candidate for immigration. Whether it was the requirement that Chinese immigrants provide proof that they were free of trachoma, or the requirement that they show evidence that they had available financial means to support themselves, the far-reaching authority of immigration officials was astounding. The amount of remote control imposed in other countries also shows the far-reaching arm of the United States government and the amount of determination and review put into monitoring immigrants, in particular Chinese immigrants. These cases revealed the extent to which local bureaucrats were also involved in the process by reporting potential illegal immigrants and admitting testimony in those cases. This proves that the law was weighted in favor of those who possessed acceptable resources and forms of capital that the United States government deemed an asset to participation in the United States economy – especially in the cases of Chinese immigrants who were barred from naturalizing as citizens.
Hom Jin Fung
Urban, Andy, Capone, Kim, Gunther, Rudy, Hassanein. Shereen, Mitwally, Hoda
Hom Jin Fung left Sam Ah Hong village in China's Hoy Ping District in the 1910s. He worked as a carpenter on an Indian vessel for about three years prior to entering the United States. After entering the United States, Hom opened Wing Lee Laundry in Bayonne, NJ. In November 1925, the United States Customs Service received an anonymous letter stating that Hom was working at Wing Lee Laundry without proper identification. Lewis B. Reynolds, an immigration inspector, and an unnamed bilingual translator, interrogated Hom. Like other detainees thought to be in violation of the Chinese Exclusion Act, he was questioned very thoroughly. Reynolds asked questions involving Hom's immigration history, past work, family, and current employment at the laundry. Hom stated that he had a wife who resided in his native village and that they had no children. Later, he contradicted himself by admitting that he had a son in China with his wife.
When asked for proper documentation allowing him to live and work in the United States, Hom claimed it was accidentally burnt at the laundry. A second interrogation was held a few days later, during which the authorities found inconsistencies with Hom's previously given statements. For instance, he admitted that he did not possess the appropriate paperwork that would allow him to live and work in the United States. Based on the interrogations and anonymous letter, Reynolds decided that deportation was necessary. In February 1926, the United States Commissioner for the District of New Jersey charged Hom as a "Chinese alien laborer unlawfully [residing] within the United States." The Commissioner called for his immediate detainment and deportation, even though he lacked legal representation and a trial had not yet been held.
Hom's case was heard upon appeal in the United States District Court in Trenton, although it took nearly a year for the case to appear before the judge. Immigration officials like Reynolds did not want Hom Jin Fung's deportation decision to go to court because many Chinese immigrants exhausted the legal system attempting to appeal their exclusion decision. The success rate for appealing an exclusion decision with legal representation was high, even though this was not the case with Hom. Chinese immigrants were very knowledgeable about the laws and requirements for entrance into the United States. Many immigrants hired lawyers to assist entry or reentry into the United States. Lawyers and lobbyists were valuable allies for Chinese immigrants. Generally, immigration officials more readily believed rumors over testimony from immigrants (such as that in the anonymous letter), making their cases before immigration officials outside the legal system difficult. The relatively new immigration policies at the time, combined with racialized perceptions of Chinese immigrants, allowed for corruption within the system. On April 30, 1927, Hom was deported to the Republic of China via California.
Oung Dan You
Urban, Andy, Bugen, Sarah, Houston, Travis, Lanz, Hillary, Pirl, Will
The story of Oung Dan You is very different from what modern Americans might consider a typical immigration story. Oung Dan You resided in the United States for 71 years. Oung immigrated to the US in 1870, at a time when the United States was actively encouraging the entry of Chinese immigrants under the 1868 Burlingame Treaty. In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act nullified the treaty. Oung worked in a laundry, and had he attempted to enter the United States after 1882 he would have been excluded as a Chinese laborer by the congressional legislation.
By the 1940s, Oung was living in Dover, New Jersey, a town quite distant from New York and Newark – where sizeable Chinatowns were located – and not a common destination for Chinese immigrants. It is unlikely that in Dover Oung could rely on the comfort and companionship that came with being part of a larger Chinese immigrant community. In the testimony he would provide to immigration officials, Oung stated that he had a wife and son in China. Oung had returned to China in 1880 for roughly 15 months, but this was the only time in his 71 years of United States residence in which he visited his native country. Following the passage of the 1888 Scott Act, Chinese immigrant laborers who left the United States and sought to return were not guaranteed re-admittance in spite of previous residence. In addition, as a laborer Oung was barred from bringing his wife and son to the United States to join him.
Toward the end of his time in the United States, Oung fell into destitution and relied on public assistance for a majority of his income. His landlord let him reside rent-free for a lengthy period of time. Oung had no relatives in the United States to turn to for support. According to his file, Oung voluntarily notified immigration officials about his status as a "public charge," in order to be designated for deportation. His lack of resources, family, and elderly age made it unlikely he could improve his resources. Oung Dan You was finally ordered to report to Ellis Island on March 12, 1941, for deportation to China via San Francisco. The true significance of the story of Oung Dan You lies in the suffering of a man who came to America, like so many others, in the hope of opportunity. The suffering ultimately drove Oung to volunteer for deportation. The occupation of China by Japan during World War II meant that the land Oung returned to would be a far cry from the China he left more than 70 years prior.
The Great Depression led United States officials to deport nearly one million Mexican and Mexican Americans. The movement began in California under the guise of "repatriation". Questionable legal tactics and acts of intimidation led some Mexicans, in the country legally, to volunteer for repatriation. Much like Oung, many were returning to a country they had not been in for years. The Great Depression put so many laborers out of work that Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and other Americans scrambled to find jobs alike. Mexicans, much like the Chinese, had now drawn the ire of the United States government. At the heart of the repatriation was the argument that the United States government was clearing out individuals they deemed "public charges" in order to relieve pressures on the system and give jobs to "Americans". Research showed that Mexicans on public assistance represented a small fraction of the total number and the benefits of deporting so many were grossly overestimated. It is interesting to see how the attention of the United States government – and the idea of who poses a threat – can wander from one group to another.
Lee Me Bo
Urban, Andy, Chávez, Vanessa, Mason, Mario, Rochfort, Melissa, Vargas, Mari
Lee Me Bo, born in Hin Loo Village, China, worked at a grocery store. He came to the United States through Montreal after his brother Lee Yick paid 250 dollars to the firm Yee Wo Lung & Company to smuggle him into New York through the border town of Malone, since he did not have papers entitling him entry. Upon arrival, Lee worked in the store of Quong Yuen Shing in New York City for seven years, for a monthly salary of 30 dollars. Lee saved money in order to obtain interest in Quong Lee Yuen & Company, based on Lafayette Street in Newark. On February 15, 1908, Lee initiated the procedure to officially establish his status as a merchant, which would allow him to depart for China with the intent to reenter the United States. He was 35 years-old and married to Wong She, and had no children. As part of legal proceedings, Lee Me Bo had white witnesses Alethia M. Carter, Adolph Franz, Lizzie Ash, James Ash, John Yourth, and Mrs. Roubroy testify to his involvement in Quong Lee Yuen as a merchant.
Lee Me Bo had come before the immigration officials to obtain the necessary certification of his merchant status prior to departing the United States for China so that he would be eligible for reentry upon his return with minimal scrutiny and hassle. He was required to submit to an interrogation to prove his merchant status and to confirm that he was not undertaking any manual labor. The provision of the Chinese Exclusion Act that was being enforced in this case was the need for Lee Me Bo to acquire the appropriate certifications from the Immigration Service in order to be able to reenter the United States as a domiciled merchant when returning from China.
The United States restricted Chinese immigration through the Chinese Exclusion Act but Section 6 created an exemption for students, teachers, merchants, and travelers. Lee Me Bo was smuggled through Canada and created his life in New Jersey. He was able to prove he was a merchant and gain the right to reentry although he did not have resident papers. The white witnesses who testified on Lee's behalf knew him through the Protestant Sunday School where he studied, and their religious affiliation gave them credibility as "respectable" members of the community. Although they could not verify positively his merchant status, they believed him to be a credible, assimilated Chinese man, who attended their school regularly.
Lii Yuen Sooy and Jew Goon Jing
Urban, Andy, Delaney, Pat, Lopez, Aldo, Kushner, Aviva, Robinson, Stephen
Chinese immigrants to the United States faced many hardships during the early-twentieth century. Many did not speak the language and faced prejudice and suspicion over whether they would be able to assimilate. The Chinese faced many unfair practices that restricted their ability to enter the country, or did not allow them to return if they left.
As merchants however, Lii Yuen Sooy and Jew Goon Jing could use their class position and connections with prominent white Americans in order to prove their permitted status. Lii, for example, provided a letter from James Seymour (see image below), the Mayor of Newark, stating that he was a "highly respected merchant and resident" of the city.
Prior to coming to Newark, Jew Goon Jing resided in Havana, Cuba. Many Chinese immigrants who ended up in the New York City area came from Cuba, where a large Chinese community existed. In the 1850s, sugar planters in Cuba brought Chinese "coolies" – contracted laborers indentured to plantations – to the island. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, a more economically diverse Chinese community had developed in Cuba, and Havana's "El Barrio Chino" was one of the largest Chinatowns in Latin America.
Chin Ming and Ng King
Urban, Andy, Cheruvu, Sivaram, FrancoMartin, Rebecca, Jones, Andrew, Malchow, Mark
Chinese immigrants Ng King and Chin Ming resided in the United States under vastly different circumstances. Ng was working as a merchant in Newark, New Jersey with the firm Kwong Yick & Lung, when Customs officers in New York City received a letter from a man who identified himself as "Chinaman Charley Sung" and from a man allegedly named Henry Fong. Sung and Fong accused Ng of importing illegal Chinese immigrants into the United States from Mexico and harboring them in his store. Sung also accused Ng of smuggling opium into the country. Custom officials forwarded the letter to immigration officials. Chin, also of merchant class, legally entered the United States in January 15, 1921 after obtaining a Certificate of Chinese Subject Exemption Class from Mayoro, Trinidad. This version of the Section Six certificate, issued from Ming's prior place of residence, provided proof of his merchant status and sound financial standing, allowing him entrance. Chin was quickly approved for entry following his arrival at Ellis Island and issued Certificate of Identity #34429.
The importation of Chinese laborers from foreign countries such as Mexico was illegal and had emerged a means of circumventing restrictions on Chinese immigrants who could no longer enter the United States directly from China. Sung and Fong were undoubtedly aware of this when they reported Ng to officials. It is unclear whether the informants wished to eliminate vice in the Chinese community or if they were involved in illegal activities as well and simply wished to get rid of the competition. (It is unclear if their names were even Charley Sung and Henry Fong, as they claimed.) Chin, on the other hand, had all his documentation and was regarded as an upstanding immigrant. On July 1, 1927, Chin decided to visit his aging parents in China and utilized his legal documents to obtain return status to the United States following the visit. The immigration office recognized Chin's Certificate of Identity No. 34429, his Section 6 Certificate issued in Trinidad, his New York file number 25/475-S, and the completed Form 432 for return status. Upon examination the U.S. Department of Labor, Immigration Service granted Ming "favorable consideration" to embark on his visit to China.
During Chinese Exclusion, the surreptitious smuggling of Chinese immigrants into the United States became commonplace. The Chinese Exclusion Act did not cause the demand for Chinese labor to dwindle. Smuggling occurred on both the US-Mexican border and the US-Canadian border, as businesses continued to hire Chinese immigrants. For example, labor contractors with ties to Chinese merchants played an active role in orchestrating the smuggling of Chinese migrant labor across the Puget Sound to work in American sawmills. A comparison can be drawn with the employment of undocumented migrants in the United States today. Businesses such as Howard Industries, an electrical products manufacturing firm in Mississippi, have allegedly facilitated the transfer of undocumented migrants from Mexico and instructed migrants on how to obtain false documentation. Despite government regulation during Chinese exclusion and in the present-day, there continues to be a considerable effort on the part of businesses in the smuggling undocumented migrants across the border to obtain a low-wage migrant labor force.

Aside from that, Christmas was a good time. My Secret Santa made me a devil tail to match my horned balaclava. We partied with a new world record-holder (fastest ski journey from the sea to the South Pole... but he walked), then sang an improvised song about him and his frostbite. Other performances of the night included such vulgar classics as a country rendition of Snoop Dogg's "Gin & Juice," and, perfect for the holidays, "She Left Me for Jesus."
Christmas morning once meant waking up early to see what's under the tree, but our tree is outside and made of various pieces of hardware welded together. Instead of unwrapping presents, we upheld the longstanding tradition of the Race Around the World. The three-ish mile route circumvents the geographic pole, covering every time zone and, I guess, going around the world three times. You could race on foot or ski, but why risk burning off that holiday lard you've worked so hard to pack on? Several snowdozers and snowmobiles joined the race as well, and I was obliged to hop on one of the sleds. There's a lot to tell about this race, but I'll leave that to the pictures.
Well, I finally had my White Christmas.

Foster runs at national indoor meet
Many former Pequot Lakes High School students are continuing their athletic careers this winter. Following are updates on a few of their athletic accomplishments:
Clayton Foster at nationals
University of Minnesota-Moorhead senior Clayton Foster, a 2010 Pequot Lakes graduate, finished ninth in the men's mile at the NCAA Division II indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday, March 9, at Birmingham, Ala.
Foster came to nationals seeded 13th, but qualified for the finals in the mile with an admirable time of 4:12.71, which was the fifth-fastest time in the preliminaries. But he became ill just before the finals, and he finished ninth in 4:34.62.
Foster also competed in the men's 800-meter run. He didn't make the finals as he finished 17th in 1:58.01 in the preliminaries.
Chambers, Bergquist in playoffs
Former Northern Lakes Lightning defenseman Connor Chambers and goaltender Joey Bergquist completed their hockey season last weekend for the Dallas Stars, a Tier 1 elite 18-under hockey team.
The Stars' season ended on Sunday, March 10, when they lost to the Colorado Thunderbirds 2-1 in the Rocky Mountain District regional championship game in Provo, Utah. The Thunderbirds advance to the national tournament in Pittsburgh while Chambers and Bergquist are returning home to Minnesota.
Chambers finished the playoffs with three goals and two assists while Bergquist was the winning goaltender in a 10-2 victory in the first pool play game. Bergquist also started the third game, but was forced to the sideline with a knee injury and finished the tournament with a 2.07 goals-against average.
During the regular season, Chambers led the Stars' defensemen in scoring with four goals and 25 points in 40 games. Bergquist compiled a 7-9-2 record with a 2.88 goals-against average and two shutouts in 18 games.
Mattie Lueck honored by MIAC
College of St. Benedict freshman Mattie Lueck, a Pequot Lakes graduate, was chosen to one of five Minnesota Intercollegiate Conference players on the All-First-Year women's basketball team.
Lueck, a 6-foot forward, was one of four Blazers to be honored by the MIAC. She played in all 27 of the team's games this season, and started 16 games, including the final 10. She scored in double figures five times, including a career-high 14 points in the season opener.
Lueck tied for the team lead with 28 blocks, was fourth in rebounding average at 3.1, and was fifth in team scoring at 5.1 points. The 2012 Pequot Lakes graduate was a three-time All-Mid-State Conference player in high school.
Lueck's sister, Emily, played in 26 games for St. Benedict this season. The 5-foot-9 wing averaged 3.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and had 17 steals.
The Blazers finished 20-7 overall after losing to Concordia of St. Paul 64-48 in the MIAC semifinals on Feb. 21.

Over the past year the Alumni Council and the Office of Alumni Relations, have been brainstorming ways in which the School can be of service to alumni, specifically in the areas of keeping connected, getting involved, and lifelong learning.
Keeping Connected
Initiated by the class agents, we expanded a pilot program of listservs—electronic mailing lists—for the 2014 Reunion classes. These listservs allow users to send one email to their entire class list and provide a private environment to share information. We found these tools to be a wonderful way to build momentum before Reunion and we anticipate they will continue to be a useful way for classmates to stay in touch after the festivities. Moving forward, the Office of Alumni Relations will be rolling these out to 12 new classes each year as they start their Reunion cycle. Not only do we hope this provides useful, but we also hope it will be an incentive to keep your email address current.
Getting Involved
The recent alumni volunteer survey provided alumni the opportunity to identify areas of interest for involvement with students, peers, and the community. We appreciate the feedback, and the results will help us make informed decisions on future program development. You can see the results and learn more about our future plans here »
Lifelong Learning
I am delighted to announce that by fall of 2014 HMS will provide access to select electronic journals through the Countway Library. Your Alumni.Harvard login will link you to a collection of journals and Henry Stewart Talks on Bio Science and Medicine. We will continue to work with the library to add more collections for your use. Additional details will be announced as they become available, but in the meantime, make sure you are registered on the Alumni.Harvard.edu community.

I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season. As I welcomed the new year, I enjoyed a moment of reflection on 2013 and the many triumphs of the HMAA. I am happy to share some recent highlights of our collective success:
- We have partnered with Doximity, a social networking service for physicians and health care professionals, to launch an app for HMS alumni. This tool allows you to quickly access a searchable database of published articles, lectures, and clinical trials, locate fellow alumni, and interact in an alumni-only forum.
- The Alumni Council met with leaders from the HMS Center for Primary Care to discuss areas of collaboration and how to collect input from alumni on the best ways to foster the transformation of primary care practice and train the next generation of the field's leaders.
- We are rethinking our preparations for the 25th and 50th Reunions by starting volunteer recruitment five months earlier and looking for more committee members to help organize the celebration events. While every Reunion at HMS is a special one, our goal is to ensure that this meaningful occasion is both unique and memorable. Learn about being a Reunion volunteer.
We are excited about these improvements and look forward to continuing to develop better connections between alumni and with HMS. I look forward to sharing more about these initiatives in the coming months.

What would you convey to medical students on their first day of medical school? I think about that each year as I greet the incoming class just two hours into their medical school career. This year, the venerable Dan Federman, MD '53, spoke to the Class of 2017 on my behalf. And whether you started medical school six weeks ago or 60 years ago, his words ring true.
As you know, Dan has been a consistent presence at Harvard for more than 60 years. He has spent nearly his entire professional career in the Longwood Medical Area and on the Quad, having served as the Carl W. Walter Distinguished Professor of Medicine, dean for medical education, and other key roles in the labs, classrooms, and offices at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. His contributions to the medical field and to humanity are virtually unmatched, and there was no better person to welcome the 91 women and 76 men hailing from 32 states, 9 countries, and 72 undergraduate institutions.
"You are opening 1,000 doors by signing your registration this afternoon," Dan told the crowd. He went on to define the concept of "Doctor as Teacher," tasking students to be teachers not only to their patients, but to each other and to future generations of HMS scholars. He noted that what they will learn from each other is equally as important as what they will learn from the curriculum. In regards to patient care, he advised that while they may not know the answer every time, there is no substitute for honesty and moral commitment.
Dan concluded by asking the Class of 2017 to remember eight simple words in three areas:
1. Stick to Basics
Straying from the basics leads to mistakes.
2. Think Out Loud
Thinking out loud slows you down and helps identify flaws in your logic.
3. Be Kind
Never miss a chance to say something kind to someone else.
Thank you, Dan, for imparting your wisdom on the future leaders in medicine. I know I speak for Dan and the entire alumni body when I say that we look forward to welcoming the Class of 2017 into our community.
June 25, 2013
On Class Day 2013, I welcomed 161 graduating HMS students to our ranks. I let them know that their relationship with HMS is not over, but rather entering a new phase. As I waited my turn at the podium and watched them receive their diploma from Dean Flier, their faces revealed a mixture of emotions from excitement, anxiety, confidence, and a touch of sadness as they said goodbye to friends and mentors.
The students are dazzling in their intellect, breadth of interest, diversity, and potential to sustain and advance medicine. The number receiving multiple degrees (PhD, MBA, MPH, and MMS) was notable and reflects their broad interests and incredible talent and energy. We welcome them into the noble profession of medicine as well as into the Harvard Medical Alumni Association. They will be great colleagues and represent HMS well.
The HMAA provides linkage for alumni across the years, geographic locations, and career choices. We want our newest alumni to know that no matter where they go or what they do, the HMAA is always here to connect them to each other and to the School.
Following Class Day, we had the 2013 Reunions. They were terrific. Notable were record attendance, great social events and in addition to the 25th Reunion Class Symposium, two really eye opening symposia. The Faculty Symposium was on "Tissue Regeneration and Organ Transplantation" (dedicated to the memory of Joseph E. Murray MD '43) and the Alumni Day Symposium, moderated by George Thibault, HMS '69, focused on "Medical Education in the Era of Health Care Reform."
In two months, the cycle begins again when HMS welcomes the Class of 2017, but for now, have a restful and enjoyable summer.

I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the recent passing of Nobel Prize co-winners Joseph Murray, MD '43 and E. Donnall Thomas, MD '46. Both men were pioneers in the field of transplantation—Murray performed the first successful organ transplant and Thomas performed the first bone marrow transplant.
Reflecting on their lives, I am reminded of the seminal contributions to medicine by HMS alumni and faculty as recognized by the Nobel Committee.
In 1990, Murray and Thomas were joint winners of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking work in successful transplantation. They ushered in the age of transplantation, giving new hope to many sick people. Murray removed a healthy kidney from a 23-year-old man and implanted it in his identical twin who was suffering from severe kidney disease. Thomas's bone marrow transplants revolutionized cancer care, resulting in an improvement in the survival rates for patients with some blood cancers from almost zero to 90%.
Selected HMS alumni and faculty Nobel winners include:
- Faculty members George Minot and William P. Murphy, winners of the 1934 Physiology or Medicine prize for their research in treating pernicious anemia by feeding patients large amounts of calf's liver to deliver large amounts of B12
- Alumni and faculty members John F. Enders, PhD, Thomas H. Weller, MD '40, and Frederick C. Robbins, MD '40, jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1954 for their discovery of the ability of poliomyelitis viruses to grow in cultures of various types of tissue, leading to the cure for polio
- John Bishop, MD '62, in 1989 in Physiology or Medicine for his cancer research and discovering the cellular origin of retroviral oncogenes
- Richard Chasin, MD '60, and Eric Chivian, MD '68, were deeply involved with the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) when Dr. Bernard Lown and Dr. Evgueni Chazov accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985 for their work with IPPNW
- Linda Buck, PhD, a former faculty member who won the 2004 Physiology or Medicine prize for her landmark research on odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system
- Faculty member Jack Szostak, PhD, winner of the 2009 Physiology or Medicine prize for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase
- Mostly recently, Ralph M. Steinman, MD '68, won for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity
Below is a full list of alumni and faculty winners.
- Christian Anfinsen, MD '43,1972 Chemistry
- John Bishop, MD '62, 1989 Physiology or Medicine
- Richard Chasin, MD '60, 1985 Peace

I was privileged to speak to the incoming HMS Class of 2016 on their first day of Orientation. They are an impressive group as you will read in the lead article. The overt enthusiasm and energy of the group took me back to the HMS '64 orientation and the formative experience of watching Herman Blumgart interview a patient. It is inspiring to witness this fresh start each fall!
Another area that is getting a fresh start is the HMS Class Notes in Harvard Medicine. We hope to facilitate an increase in the number and timeliness of submissions of Class Notes through email. A new email address – firstname.lastname@example.com– has been created exclusively for the use of HMS alumni in submitting class notes.
Furthermore, in our efforts to keep up with new technology, we are taking fresh approaches to electronic communications.
- Reunion Reports will be distributed electronically to five Reunioning classes this year
- The Class of 2012's yearbook was distributed electronically on a jump-drive by the HMAA
- More than 7,200 HMS alumni have provided HMS with a valid email address
- Sixty-five percent of our alumni have registered for the online community at Alumni.Harvard.edu (If you haven't done so yet, please click here)
We are excited about these initiatives to increase our electronic communications and look forward to ongoing conversations this year about ways in which we can better connect alumni with one another and with the School.
July 6, 2012
A new tradition was introduced at the 2012 Class Day Exercises. For the first time, on behalf of all HMS Alumni, I welcomed the graduating class to our ranks. My intent was to let them know that their relationship with HMS is not over, but rather entering a new phase. As I waited my turn at the podium, it struck me that the last time I attended HMS Class Day in a cap and gown was 48 years ago.
What remained the same was the mix of excitement and anxiety as they contemplated their future. They felt the same confidence we did knowing they had been trained at the best Medical School in the world. There was also a touch of sadness as they said good-bye to friends and mentors who had helped to make Medical School memorable.
What has changed is the diversity of the class, the frequent conferring of multiple degrees, the broad array of specialty training tracks and perhaps a greater sense of humanity. Don Berwick, MD '72 in his inspiring talk clarified their challenges (click here for full coverage).
The HMAA provides a linkage for alumni across the years, geographic locations, and career choices. We want our newest alumni to know that no matter where they go or what they do, the HMAA is always here to connect them to each other and to the School. We are also working to maintain your links to one another and your interest in and knowledge of HMS. To that end a Working Group is beginning to consider how to leverage the richness of the verbal and written communications at the School and deliver that to you in a useful and interesting manner. If you have ideas about this, please share them with us.
For now, have a restful and enjoyable summer.
March 26, 2012
To put the Alumni Council election in context, I want to share the proceedings of the most recent Alumni Council meeting. Two weeks ago, the Council held an extended winter meeting to define its role and set goals for the next two years. It began with a presentation and discussion on fostering idealism, particularly during the formative third year of medical school.
The Alumni Council, under the leadership of Phyllis Gardner, MD '76, has a sustained interest in development and maintenance among HMS students of those qualities essential for physicians—humanism, empathy, and professionalism. To this end, during earlier Council meetings and at a retreat prior to the Council's winter meeting, faculty have presented results from extensive research examining these qualities among students participating in the Longitudinal Integrated Curriculum at the Cambridge Health Alliance and the Principal Clinical Experience—the nine month, single site-based curriculum that comprises the third year—at the tertiary medical centers. The School has focused significant efforts on development and maintenance of these essential qualities and has achieved documented success through curriculum modification and innovation. The Council has expressed to Dean Flier its enthusiasm and unqualified support for these efforts.
Again, at the pre-meeting retreat, the Council examined its raison d'etre. The Council sees idealism as a core shared value among students and alumni and is seeking ways to support and recognize that value. To this end, several specific efforts are under consideration.
Furthermore, the Council continues to look for opportunities wherein alumni and the School—including students—can reinforce each other's goals. The Council vigorously supports the efforts of the Alumni Fund, which is entirely dedicated to the relief of student indebtedness. Additionally, interactive communication between HMS, the Alumni Association, and the alumni is essential to foster our goals. The Council has formed a working group to carefully examine the "why, what, and how" of these communication efforts.
The Alumni Council wants to represent you and your interests, so please lets us hear from you and also take time before May 28 to vote for new Council members.
January 4, 2012
Working Group/Survey Committee on Communications
Within the last three to five years the way we communicate has changed dramatically due to advanced technology and 24/7 connectivity. Much of what we receive, even from HMS, comes electronically, as evidenced by this quarterly eNewsletter, the hundreds of emails we receive daily, and the switch to an electronic version of the HMS student yearbook. HMS has a vigorous Department of Communications, which, from an alumni perspective, is an untapped resource. The Alumni Council meeting generated a lively conversation around this topic and has appointed a Working Group/Survey Committee on Communications.
In its simplest form the committee's work might be viewed as three sequential tasks:
- The committee will review current communications focusing on the broad array of HMS communication vehicles. They will examine what, when, and how alumni are receiving messages from the School.
- The committee will develop a set of operating principles to guide future communication to alumni, with an emphasis on alumni preferences and potential interactivity, as well as creating value and brand identification.
- Finally the committee will, through the lens of these operating principles, view the currently available communication modalities and make recommendations to adjust, subtract, or add communications that fulfill our goal that alumni receive relevant and valuable information from the HMAA and HMS, and have a vehicle to interact with one another.
I and the committee welcome your thoughts or comments. Please send your comments via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Committee's recommendations will be presented to the Alumni Council at the March and May meetings. I will report on its findings both here and in upcoming quarterly eNewsletters.

Reunion Working Group Findings
With Harvard's Commencement pushing HMS Reunions a week earlier and into the week leading up to Memorial Day Weekend, the Alumni Council convened a working group to discuss the timing and format of Reunions and possible scenarios for future reunions beginning with 2012.
The composition of the working group represented alumni in classes from 2000 to 1955. They considered the Reunion Gala concept involving all twelve classes, linkage to Harvard's commencement, and moving Reunion to a different time of year.
Their recommendations are as follows. It is important to keep Reunion tied to a weekend, and for that weekend not to be Memorial Day Weekend.
As a result, HMS Reunions will always be the week after Memorial Day. Some years HMS Reunion will coincide with Harvard's (and HMS's) Commencement, other years it will not When the Council was presented with these options, they agreed to endorse the findings and agreed that Reunion 2012 will be held May 31 – June 3, 2012, which does not coincide with Harvard Commencement.
For more information on the Working Group or to add your thoughts to this process, please send me an email at email@example.com.

Class of 2014
September is an exciting time at HMS as the new entering class, HMS 2014, bursting with enthusiasm and talent, is just embarking on their medical career. I had the pleasure to greet them on behalf of the Alumni Association at their " Welcome to HMS" session . The excitement in the amphitheater was palpable.
This is a terrific crew to follow in your footsteps. HMS 2014 numbers 165 students. This represents a 70 % yield from the offers of admission and 4.4% of the applicant pool. The acceptance of admission offers was higher in men than women; thus , 56% of the class are men. Under-represented minorities number 34. The students hail from 74 undergraduate institutions, 32 US States or Territories, and 10 are non-US citizens. Ten already hold graduate degrees and only 52% are matriculating directly from their undergraduate studies. Their accomplishments and interests are spectacular but too numerous to mention at this time.
The Alumni Association will reach out to these and, in fact, all of the HMS students going forward. A major area of interest in the Alumni Council is to increase and strengthen the connections between students and alumni. Given the immersion of the current generation in technology, we hope to create an "e-bridge" to them. Hopefully, you will be one of those at the other end of that bridge
The Harvard University on-line directory is a tool for students (and alumni) to use to find alumni. Make sure your profile is up to date by going to alumni.harvard.edu.
How would you like to connect with students? When you were a student, how would you have liked to connect with alumni? Please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know. We know the students are interested and look forward to your responses
Have a wonderful and healthy fall.
July 14, 2010
Welcome New Alumni
We extend a warm welcome to the 146 members of the Class of 2010 who joined the Alumni Association on May 27. Whether you graduated from HMS 30 days or 30 years ago, our goal is to keep you connected to HMS and your fellow HMS alumni.
The Class of 2010 inspired me as I learned about some of their accomplishments and their hopes and dreams for the future. They will bring a refreshing energy and the knowledge and experience they gained at HMS to their professions.
As they prepared to leave HMS, we provided bright yellow disposable stethoscopes for them to wear to commencement in Cambridge. We included a message to "keep in touch".
This generation primarily keeps in touch electronically. Since April, they have been encouraged to register for alumni.harvard (the on-line community for all Harvard alumni) and I am proud to say that 75% of the class has done so. On-line is a way of life for them!
For those of us who graduated when the land-line telephone was new, and greeted such inventions as the fax machine and computer with hesitant optimism, we need to register for alumni.harvard. Click here to register (if you have not done so already) or to update your profile.
Alumni.harvard is where HMS obtains your email address and snail mail address for mailings. Keeping this information current means you receive timely and relevant information from HMS. We are increasingly going electronic with communications and I don't want you to miss a thing!
With warm wishes for an enjoyable summer.

Honey Rosewood & Boxwood Chess PiecesWe carry an amazing selection of chess sets that should fit any need. If you are looking for hand-carved wooden chess pieces, we have you covered. Honey Rosewood is a soft, light brown wood with a strong grain, which leads to interesting variation from piece to piece. This wood is ideally suited to match either light or dark brown woods. We generally recommend Walnut or Teak for chess boards for these pieces. It is an ideal economic choice to see a true wood grain in the chessmen without the costs associated with expensive rosewoods. These sets are paired with traditional boxwood.

Jonathan Appleby would steal the early lead in the 1-800-ASK GARY Thunderstocks. On lap 3 John Thorpe would spin with a flat leaving Appleby to fend off Brian Mullins and Jason Gamble. On lap 8 Jimmy Holley took a scary ride in his Poor Boys Tires 2H with a barrel roll. He would be okay but a fire occurred after they rolled the 2H back over. The top 3 would be the same as the last restart. Melvin Fockler would lose the right rear on lap 9 as the front runners stayed the same for the restart. The race went green for the final 11 as Appleby held them off for his 3rd consecutive win. Mullins was, again, P2. Brandon Elwood would take a big 3rd place finish, "Batman" Jeff Baer would take a season-best 4th, and James Sullivan, III would round out a strong top 5.
RaceCar Engineering Late Model action slowed early when Tommy Prince and Win Ingersoll spun in turn 1. The race could never start as 3 cautions came out before a green flag lap was even thought about. Caution would fly on lap 2 as "Cheddar" Christian Augspurger spun out of turn 4 while fighting for the lead. He would leave Bryan Bernhardt, Bo Allen, and Mark Whitener to fight for it up front. Seconds later Dalton Meyers and Win Ingersoll made heavy contact on the backstretch bringing out a red flag for clean-up. Thankfully both were okay and Meyers would actually drive the #31 to the infield. Allen would steal the lead on lap 3 as Jason Fitzgerald jumped Whitener for 3rd. Caution would fly on lap 11 when Bo Allen blew the 71 up in a heartbreaker. "Fitz" would inherit the lead with Bernhardt and Whitener behind. "Cadillac" Bobby Richardson spun in turn 2 to bring a lap 13 yellow out while "Cheddar" and Kenny Monohan made contact in turn 4- the top 3 were still the same. Jason Fitzgerald would hold on to win over fellow Middleberg driver Mark Whitener. Richard Ferry, Bernhardt, and Phil Cobb would complete the top 5.
Hobby Stocks watched Mike Stalnaker and Trevor Gamble fight for the lead over the first 4 laps before RJ Glazer and Scott Haas had troubles in turn 4. Gamble would shoot for the lead in turn 3 but would spin while "Ragin" Rodney Wright would take evasive action and spin as well. Gamble would restart outside the top 10 and be 5th after 1 lap. Wright would steal the lead on the restart while Gamble would spin again on lap 8. On lap 10 Nevin Gainey's right front would blow and he accidentally spun Scott Haas as it happened. Wright, Stalnaker, and Marty Smith would restart 1-2-3. "Ragin" Rodney would take the win. Gamble, Stalnaker, Marty Smith, and Scott Haas would complete the top 5.
A 15-lap Rent-N-Roll Gladiator feature would top the night off. Tony LaPorta would jump from 6th to 1st on lap 1. On lap 11 Jordan McMillon would lose the right rear setting up LaPorta, Billy Holmes, and Steve Johnson. LaPorta would win over Holmes, Johnson, Bobby Graham, and Jerry Taylor. Holmes would be found illegal in tech which would move all others up and Ken Macleod into 5th place.
Next week is the Florida State Modified Championship so it'll be 2 nights of action! Alongside the Modifieds who will race for $2000 will be the 1-800 ASK GARY Thunderstocks racing for $1000, the Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, and the Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks.

It's nearly the end of the week and Andrew Laming still has his job? Well, I guess drool sucking lackwits need representation too, and he seems well suited to air their views, retweeting his original shocker – "Mobs tearing up Logan. Did any of them do a day's work today, or was it business as usual and welfare on tap?" – a day after seeding the clouds of a small but shrieky social media storm with his original bon mot.
A lot of people tagged the tweet as racist, but I think they were off target. It seems more tin eared and oafish than that, the wet little brainfart of a lazy mind, rather than the calculated incitement of a bigoted provocateur. One has no trouble imagining similar sentiments being voiced over snifters of brandy at one of the better clubs where gentlemen of the medical profession and the Opposition front bench gather to discuss the problem of the lower orders. Once upon a time it would have been Irish mobs tearing up Logan. This time it was Murris and Islanders.
Perhaps somebody had a word in The Lemming's shell-like, however, because he did finally 'clarify' what he meant by the words: "Mobs tearing up Logan. Did any of them do a day's work today, or was it business as usual and welfare on tap". Apparently, if you squint really hard you can see that it actually means, "Working together to resolve these riots the priority. Training and a chance for jobs are key."
We know that because The Lemming clarified the meaning of his contribution to the ongoing discourse at Logan by first reminding us with a well-timed retweet that the mobs tearing up the suburb may not have clocked on for a full days work, instead firing themselves up for a night of riotous assembly with a hard day's looking for handouts down at Centrelink, before clarifying, "To clarify: Working together to resolve these riots the priority …"
You can see why the inattentive punter, perhaps distracted by the Honorable Member's rhetorical contribution to the small bloody conflict about which he would know precisely nothing, would fail to miss his actual intention, which wasn't to inflame already inflamed passions, or to further entrench the out-group psychology of two marginalized communities. It was to further a discussion about training and employment policy.
In the end, when you think about it, The Lemming, maligned and misunderstood, was the real victim here. Damn those inconsiderate rioters for embarrassing him like that.

In Marc Leitzel's sharply real scratchboard drawings in AS220's main gallery (115 Empire Street, Providence, through June 25), he depicts a tense moment between a couple in bed, a wind-blown woman wrapped in a cape, and a woman with tree branches and leaves bound up in her hair and opossums or rodents peeking out from the leaves. He also exhibits paintings and pastels of a soldier or a couple kissing, but his brushwork is a bit muddled, and these full color works don't match the scratchboard drawing's dramatic sense of light and dark.
In Leitzel's scratchboard I Need No Soft Lights to Enchant Me, sun glows down through leaves upon a woman, glinting off her long hair and the shoulders of her floral blouse, as she closes her eyes. And that sun really seems to shine because Leitzel's command of the technique creates the electric effect of scratching light out of darkness.
Also on view in the main gallery are Providence artist Rick Billings's sweet goth black-and-white pen drawings. A tree grows up through an old wooden chair as a decaying Victorian house lurks on a hill behind. Lampposts come alive and walk down a lane. A girl with wings grasps an iron gate at the bottom of a grassy hill with the Victorian house at the top. Billings's design of characters and the composition of the spaces is still developing, but he has a feel for creating charming dark worlds in which everything seems spookily alive.
Candita Clayton marks the one-year anniversary of her gallery Candita Clayton Studio (999 Main Street, unit 105, Pawtucket, through September 10) with "Creative Collective," a grab bag collection of work by 28 local artists that she has worked with in the first year or is beginning to work with now. The gallery, in a sunny loft space in the Hope Artiste Village, began when Clayton co-organized a show with Maya Allison, the co-director of 5 Traverse, who was looking for new projects between when the Providence gallery closed in February 2010 and she landed a curatorial gig at Brown's Bell Gallery last June (which Allison is now leaving to move to Abu Dhabi).
Clayton, whose background includes authoring the book Clean Your Home Healthy: Green Cleaning Made Easy, says, "I'm an accidental curator."
Much of the art here will be familiar if you've visited the gallery before — including nice pieces by Xander Marro, Corey Grayhorse, Andrew Moon Bain, and Allison Paschke. Among the new works are Neal Walsh's Untitled (Icon Study), a large bronze oil painting with red vertical scratches and yellow and brownish scuffs. In places the paint dimples, and black paint underneath shows through. It resembles the rusty side of a ship or water tank, but the effect is diffuse, like a gold fog.
Lisa Perez's small, subtle, mod, biomorphic abstractions continue the work she exhibited at 5 Traverse in 2009. Listen Up is a series of ever bigger light gray oval boards stacked on the front of a charmingly lopsided darker gray square. On the square board, just behind the pile of ovals is a layer of bright yellow, like a shadow, but sunny bright against the grays.

Teen Shooting Victim Laid to Rest, Police Following Leads
STEPHENSON, VA - Funeral Services were held today for 17 year-old Rhett Goldizen. Just days after a late night tragedy, one Stephenson community is searching for answers in the shooting that ended his young life.
"The family is responding very well with us," says Captain Allen Sibert of the Frederick County Sheriff's Department. "They are working hand-in-hand with us to try to resolve this matter and to find out who these people were that arrived at the residence," he adds.
Police say around midnight last Thursday, two men came to the Goldizen's home on Monastery Road in Stephenson. They say Steve Goldizen, a police officer/investigator at Lord Fairfax Community College, opened the door, where a man said he needed help with his car.
"Mr. Goldizen was trying to speak to him about it and realized there was a second subject there, that was kind of hidden off to the side, that was armed with a shot gun," says Sibert.
Police say Goldizen didn't know the suspects, but he was armed when he answered the door.
"Mr. Goldizen, who had came to the door armed, confronted both of them," says Sibert. "The suspects fired shots. Mr Goldizen fired shots. Ultimately ending in the death of the 17 year-old, Mr. Rhett Goldizen."
Police say there is no evidence the two suspected gunmen were injured in the shooting. But, they believe the men got into an SUV and drove down the private Monastery Road, leaving the scene the same way they came in. Police say they do not know why the men where there or if they live in the area.
"We have several leads," Sibert says. "One lead is bringing us to a local person, but we still have a lot to go on that and there's no other leads that would indicate the identity of these subjects," he adds.
There are no charges pending in the investigation. Police say they will not know who shot Goldizen until ballistic and forensic investgations are complete. The two suspects are described as white males in their 20's, 5' 6" to 6' tall, with dark colored/brown hair and facial hair.
