‘Angels and Polar Bears’ celebrates the creative life of Stevie Mann |
|
|
 BRUNSWICK — Spindleworks will open its gallery season with the closing of a chapter of the program’s long history. Though the winter has not delivered any particularly harsh blow of weather, the Spindleworks community has suffered a huge loss in the passing of one of its original artists, Stevie Mann.
Stevie had been a dedicated artist for over 30 years at Spindleworks, and his creativity and passion stayed strong until the end. This month, Spindleworks celebrates the creative life of Stevie Mann in an exhibit which spans the decades. His work is strongly thematic, yet also shows what an incredible colorist he was, from his fiber pieces to his paintings and recent drawings. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the breadth of his creative career, and celebrate once more the great joy and beauty that Stevie brought to this world. There will be an opening reception on Thursday March 4, from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information, visit www.spindleworks.org.

National Toboggan Championships a joyous annual event |

Coastal Journal staff
CAMDEN -- The U.S. National Toboggan Championships, held at the Snow Bowl, are completed for another year, and while there were a whole bunch of winners ... who are listed below ... we are reminded after visiting again that the event isn’t so much a race, but a ‘happening’.
Most people who attend the championships aren’t really even interested in watching the various toboggan teams slide down the icy and dangerous-looking wooden chute to the pond below. They are far more interested in watching one another, because people come in all manner of fancy dress, play music, dance, eat ... a lot ... and sell one another everything from hand-knitted earwarmers to toboggan wax. People bring their dogs and in one case we noted, their goats.
We were expecting people to line up on either side of the rickety chute with cowbells or something, but in fact, the only people who spent anytime watching the actual race, aside from the wives or brothers or parents of the participants, were the media and the judges.
