CHILMARK May 5, 2005 By Jacqueline Sexton - 508-645-2895 - jschil@adelphia.net Anything can happen between today, Monday, and Thursday when the paper comes out, but this morning is, actually, a lovely, long-awaited, real spring day - gentle sunshine, birds rejoicing, squirrels and rabbits playing their games among the daffodils and dandelions. It's a day to inspire artists and poets. And to sign up for the first in a series of Nancy Aronie's summer Writing From the Heart workshops, starting Monday, May 9 through Thursday May 12, 9 am to noon. Register right away by calling Nancy at 508-645-9085. The workshops are held at Nancy's house in the West Meadow, an idyllic place with sloping lawns and tall trees, an ideal setting for creating sonnets or memoirs. Friends of Laura Miller, who died last fall, are invited to a commemorative gathering at the Howes House on Saturday, May 7 at 2 pm. A light luncheon will be served. Laura lived in Chilmark for many years and was an avid reader, a regular at the library, and a member of the women's hospital auxiliary. She was also a lawyer. She moved to Sarasota several years ago to be near her son, Jono. You can take all the poisonous stuff in the shed/barn/garage to the household hazardous waste site at the Edgartown wastewater facility on Saturday, May 21 from 9 am to noon. Pat Harrison of Vineyard Haute Cuisine will discuss and prepare hors d'oeuvres at the library next Wednesday, May 11, 5:30 to 6:30 pm. The menu will include her special crab cakes and pot stickers, and tastes will be offered. The Wednesday evening programs are sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Seeds, chickens, and flowers continue to be the subject of the library's after-school program for children ages five and up, from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. Be ready for something different next Wednesday, May 11 when some real, live chickens will visit, courtesy of Olivier Dunrea, who loves chickens, paints them and has even written a story about them, “The Painter Who Loves Chickens.” The following Wednesday the children will paint chickens. A bonanza for animal lovers!
