There's a new glass exhibit at the Farnsworth, and it's more than meets the eye

One of three blown glass birds by artist Robin Cass at the Farnsworth.
ROCKLAND--That childhood memory came rushing into my head as I walked into the glass exhibit currently at the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. It’s not that the art is childish; quite the contrary. It is magnificently sophisticated and beautiful. But that freedom, anticipation, creativity and dreaminess that went along with the bubble-blowing experience are manifested in these masterpieces.

Black belt
by Gina Hamilton
Coastal Journal Staff
Abby Minott is seven years old. And she has a black belt each in Taekwondo and Jungtudo, six gold medals in Taekwondo, two first-place trophies in karate, and has qualified for the Junior Nationals. In her last fight, she was the only girl in her age group, so she was moved to the boys’ division, where she conducted three fights for a total of 12 rounds. She won all the fights by such a large margin that a coach for the US Nationals adult division approached her and asked her to train his adult athletes at Harvard.

Lions for Lambs
Directed by: Robert Redford . Written by: Matthew Michael Carnahan . Starring: Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Michael Pena, Derek Luke, Andrew Garfield

Meryl Streep tries to restrain herself from strangling Tom Cruise.
By the time you read this, Lions for Lambs might not be in theatres anymore. No great loss, since Robert Redford’s new film will more or less tell you what you already know about the follies of capitalism, American foreign policy, tabloid media, over-privileged, underactive youth, and war.

The Secret Migration (2005)
by B.J. Carter
Coastal Journal Staff
I came across an illustrated collection of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales in Farmington and decided I would read the whole thing right then and there. My brother had some official business with UMaine that day, and I had driven him up there. We listened to The Secret Migration on the way up (probably to my brother’s displeasure), so my mind was already on the subject of fairy tales and Maine winters when I ducked into that cozy little bookstore. My eyes lit up when I saw that collection.

Counting our blessings seems like a trite thing to do this time of year, but that is only because we generally take it too lightly. This year, we decided to consider what makes our region truly special, and be thankful for those things.
