Hearty congratulations to newly-elected council member Brad Mayerle and our returning council member Linda Kozlowski! Also, congratulations to our new Mayor, Deb Simmons.
There’s so much to do, and I know you three will do your best to learn the issues and help us map out a positive future for our town. I will be participating actively to do my part as a citizen to learn what challenges and solutions we have before us.
I urge my neighbors to be involved too.
Together is the way.
Sincerely,
Mark Kuestner

Details: Join Ben Rosenberg as he introduces the principles and practices of creating monoprints and monotypes. Monotype is a distinctive print made by pressing paper against a painted or inked surface. When creating a monotype, it cannot be replicated again. It is a highly individual creation, much like painting, as it allows for spontaneity, “happy accidents,” and working along a plate surface to bring a wide range of marks that can be obtained through the creation of an image.
Topics include basic theory and use of color and composition in working with water-based, mixed media, and a variety of surfaces. This workshop will involve both conceptual approaches and direct observations of a variety of student investigative resources.
You will explore various monotype styles, techniques, and media used with rollers, stencils, textured surfaces, brushes, and various inventive wiping tools to create unusual one-of-a-kind prints.
Through lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and printing time, participants will develop a command of the technical aspects of monotypes and monoprints (color mixing, paint application, materials), and the properties of creating an image (line and shape, color concept, composition, abstraction) and an understanding of how formal choices create meaning.
The day will begin with a lecture and discussion, followed by an afternoon for studio time. This class is a place where you can engage your own artistic interest and explore your personal voice.
Bring your ideas and be willing to take them further. It is a time and place to soak up everything you can and take risks.

Paperwhites-Storing, Planting, Growing
Among indoor-flowering bulbs, none is more popular than paperwhites. They produce dense clusters of fragrant flowers indoors in fall and winter with minor special treatment. Allow 5-6 weeks from planting to bloom; for flowers at Christmas, plant by November 10. Bulbs can be started at intervals to provide color and fragrance until after Easter. Store paperwhites in refrigerator until ready to plant.
1. Put a 2-to-3-inch layer of pea stone, marbles, or decorative stones in a shallow, watertight container. A clear glass one will give you a good view of how the roots are developing. If using soil, fill a pot 1/2 full of potting soil or a soil-less mix.
2. Place bulbs in pointy-end up. They can be close together, almost touching. No more than 1 inch apart is best.
3. Anchor the bulbs with soil or more pebbles, leaving the top third of the bulbs exposed.
4. Water those in soil thoroughly to settle them in and then about once a week after that or as needed to keep them evenly moist. For the pebble planted ones, add water to the container until it is just below the bottom of the bulbs. If they sit in water, they will rot. Add more water as needed.
5. Place them in a dark, cool location, around 50 to 60°F. If kept too warm they may not flower well, producing spindly plants.
6. Watch for rooting. This is easier to see in the pebble-planted ones, especially those in a clear glass container. In the soil planted pots, look for roots poking out of the pot’s drainage holes. It takes about 3 weeks after planting for roots to form.
7. Move the pots of rooted bulbs to a sunny, bright spot with relatively cool temperatures (60-65°F). They should start to bloom 3 to 4 weeks later. If they don’t get enough light as they start to grow, the plants will be leggy and have a hard time holding up their blossoms. As the plants grow, turn the pot every few days to keep the foliage growing straight. Give them some sticks for support.
Paperwhites will bloom for about 14 days and perhaps longer if conditions are favorable. As discussed above, they need bright light but don’t like direct light, which will cause them to burn or dry up. Water only when the top 1 inch of their soil begins to feel dry to your touch. Do not fertilize paperwhites. Paperwhites do not hold over for the next year. Best to dispose of them in compost pile.
Only two days to go until the election! Participating in this election has been an engaging experience for me and, win or lose, I pledge my support to ensure a positive future for Wheeler. I am grateful for the opportunity to have met so many neighbors and for learning much more about our City’s history and about our future needs. Thank you for listening, being involved, and especially for voting!
Respectfully,
Mary Leverette
