Completing the series on February 9 and 11, Brideshead Revisited—inspired by the best-selling Evelyn Waugh novel of the same name—is a riveting drama of love, power and betrayal, featuring stunning performances by Academy Award winner Emma Thompson (Best Actress, Howard’s End, 1992) and Matthew Goode (The Lookout). When the charming aristocrat Sebastian invites Charles Ryder to his family's estate, Charles becomes seduced by the opulent lifestyle of the Marchmain family and by Julia, Sebastian's sister. As Charles and Julia’s romance deepens, repercussions follow, and Charles discovers that at Brideshead, love, money and power come at a price. Brideshead Revisited, 133 minutes long, is rated PG-13. It's a spellbinding story you'll want to revisit again and again.

SANDWICH NEWS COLUMN
SUBMITTED BY DIANE COOK JOHNSON

I have noticed the days getting longer again. Perhaps, the spring-like temperatures combined with a full moon have helped contribute to this feeling of brighter days. Whatever the cause, I am glad to feel that we are coming out of winter and spring is on it’s way. Somehow all the doom and gloom in the economic news has made this winter seem like a time to more or less hibernate, get through day by day, and hope that spring will bring good things.

Sometime this week, I will make a trip to the greenhouses (Spider Web) where I work in the spring. I hear that they have a greenhouse full of daffodils and bulbs in bud and bloom. I will enjoy a walk in a lush warm sunny spring garden and I pick up a few choice pots to have for sale at Surroundings Gallery this weekend for Valentine’s Day.

As you know, Saturday, February 14 is Valentine’s Day. Some Sandwich businesses and crafters are working together to make the 13^th and 14^th special with things like couples massage, partner yoga, special menus, and thoughtful gifts made especially for Valentines.

Valentine Open House
Get your sweetheart a local gift for Valentine’s Day. A group of local artists, crafters, and townsfolk are working together to host a Valentine’s Open House and Sale at Willowpond Antiques and Surroundings Art Gallery. The craftsmen chose these shops for this special sale as both are conveniently and centrally located next door to the Corner House Inn, Main Street, Center Sandwich and other local shops like Mocha Rizing and the Sandwich Emporium.

Businesses and craftspeople include: Anne Made…hand knit, unique gifts, wall hangings and artwork; Homemade gifts from the kitchen… baked goods, candies, preserves and butters; Surroundings Art Gallery... work by local artists, oil, watercolor and more; Soft Touch Farm…needle felting and fiber arts; Bee Witched... honey soaps and body products, handmade chocolates and truffles; Willowpond Antiques... vintage and antique items, lots of great items at amazing sale prices; Hill Country Books... antique and used books, romantic titles; Blue... handmade jewelry, handmade cards and gift tags. Many of the items were made special for (and are only available for) this sale.

An Open House with refreshments will kick off the Valentine’s Sale. This Thursday evening is a chance to meet and talk with the artists and craftspeople, and to casually visit with other shoppers who come to take advantage of the best selection of many one-of-a-kind gifts. Stop by Willowpond and Surroundings February 12 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The sale will continue on Friday, February 13, from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and again on Saturday, February 14 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sample some of the delicious goodies and see how some of the crafts are made while you shop.

Make a wish list for your sweetie! Gift Baskets. Gifts for Moms, Kids, Teachers, Guys, Friends, Everyone! Visit these local shops and businesses for new ideas and beautiful and creative alternatives to traditional Valentine Gifts! Delivery available!

Do You Know Your Alphabet?
Then you are qualified to Adopt-a-Shelf at the Wentworth Library! The library staff are reinvigorating their shelf-reading program for folks who want to volunteer to help keep our library organized. It's simple... come in and pick a section of the library, then visit those shelves once a month and make sure all the books are in alphabetical order. You can do it by yourself, with a partner or even with your child.

Many sections of the library are still available including Adult Fiction (pick a letter) and Non-Fiction (pick a range of Dewey numbers) or even an interest-based section like Parenting, Health, Classics/ Poetry, or Travel. Maybe AV stuff is more your style... we have the Audiobook sections, videos or DVDs.

Come in to the library and find the Adopt-a-Shelf sign up clipboard on the Circulation desk, fill out a form, pick a section and warm up your "ABC" song in your head. Not only will you be helping to provide an essential service to the library, but you'll probably find something good to take home, too!

SANDWICH NEWS COLUMN
SUBMITTED BY DIANE COOK JOHNSON

The thawing and re-freezing activity of the last week or so have caused me to think of some of the unusual conversations we have in these parts. The network morning shows and many talk shows feature fashion segments and women who are giddy and excited about beautiful stilettos and fancy shoes and boots. These types of shoes are usually quite impracticable in these parts and women I know talk about things like smart wool socks, rubberized boots that keep your feet dry and warm, ice grippers and the merits of the ones with the wrapped wires versus those with steel teeth that can bite into shear ice.

For me a pair of mid-calf high neoprene boots, covered and sealed with rubber and then painted with flowers, have been great for tromping through several inch deep icy cold melt water. They even have handles that help them to get them on easily. Add a pair of thick smart wool socks and ice grippers with teeth that are lined up in many directions and I stay warm, dry and upright in almost any weather that comes this time of year. Last week as I made my way through puddles with ease, I could hear people comment on my footwear and how practical it is—I take it as a compliment.

When you go to the Sled Dog Races you too may want to have practical boots to keep your feet toasty as you enjoy the races and festivities. A pair of snow shoes might even be something good to add to your outfit. Stay warm!

Sandwich Sled Dog Race
Bring the whole family to the Sandwich Sled Dog Race to be held in North Sandwich on Saturday, February 21.Come see this decades old tradition as mushers from all over New England race their teams around a 20 and 45 mile course through the scenic Sandwich and Wonalancet winter trail system. The start and finish area on Bennett Street in North Sandwich offers the perfect spot to view the entire race and see all the teams in their pre-race preparations. Witness also, the increasingly popular “skijorers” (cross country skier with dogs) as they race along side the other teams. Cross-country skiers and snowshoers are invited to bring their equipment and sample a portion of the local trail system.

The race is sponsored by the Sandwich Sidehillers Winter Trails Club, in conjunction with the Ossipee Valley Snowmobile Club, North Country Mushers, Yankee Siberian Husky Club and numerous local businesses.

Festivities begin with a family-style (and priced) pasta dinner sponsored by the Sandwich PTO at the Sandwich Central School on Friday, February 20 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Many of the mushers will be at the spaghetti supper, and a short meeting will be held afterwards for them to draw bib numbers and get information about the race course.

The 45-mile teams will start first at 9:00 a.m. and head northeast to Wonalancet, making a large portion of the run and passing through the checkpoint located in the scenic Wonalancet Intervale. The trail skirts along a large hayfield right along Rte. 113A and makes a perfect spot to view the teams in action from your car, with the Wonalancet Chapel and Sandwich Range of the White Mountains as a backdrop. There are also road crossings on Rte. 113A in North Sandwich, and the 45-mile teams make a loop into Sandwich and will turn back for the finish line on Mt. Israel Road in Center Sandwich. Road crossings are manned by volunteers to help the teams if necessary and to watch for traffic.

The 20-mile teams and skijorers will start around 10 am and will go to the Wonalancet Intervale checkpoint, which is approximately halfway for them, and then return to the finish line.

Food and drinks will be available at the ”Bennett St Café” located at the start and finish area. The menu will include coffee, hot chocolate and donuts for the early attendees and then burgers, hot dogs, warm chili or stew, snacks and drinks for lunch.

Programs will be available at the race and will include the names, hometowns and bib numbers of the mushers as well as a map of the race course.

Those who attend will not only learning from a world class artist, but will do so while enjoying the "substantial" refreshments that the Board will provide."

"This is just the thing for the industries" said Julie Deak, the newly appointed gallery store manager, "and the right way to start 2009, a year where we expect record craft , art and jewelry sales despite the sluggish economy. It is wonderful that folks will be able to meet and hear from Mr. Moore but also other artists from the area who are
invited to attend the meeting as well"

Sue Davies, a long serving Board member from North Sandwich said "the Board has plans for a terrific reception with excellent "nibbles" as well as wine and other refreshments. This will be a great night for the Industries and for craftspeople throughout this area

SUBMITTED BY DIANE COOK JOHNSON

The end of February brings a slower pace to Sandwich. The Sandwich Winter Carnival and Sled Dog Races took place earlier in the month. Both required a lot of planning and coordination to come off smoothly. School vacation week is here and families are either traveling to someplace nice or relaxing and enjoying each other up here. Even the roads cause us to slow a bit as frost heaves are popping up all over the place and we must anticipate them. Life is a bit like that at this time of year as we deal with snow as it comes, work on spring cleaning when we can, and finish up winter chores, projects, and books in anticipation of longer warmer days, green grass and gardens.

Terry Moore, of Wilmot NH, id originally from Wales. He arrived in NH in the early 1970s to spend the holidays with his then in-laws. He has lived in NH ever since. His furniture design is a blend of Korean, French deco and Edward Barnsley (a 20th century English craftsman who interpreted Georgian period furniture).

The SHI Board of Trustees will host a complementary reception, (with refreshments) for the public from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., then the program and short business meeting, all of which will be concluded by 9:30 p.m.

The gallery, in the center of Sandwich, will be opened in mid May and remain so seven days a week through mid October. The theme for the SHI this year is "getting back to basics"...the council is going to put its Education effort on steroids..with most of the board participating in one way or another. Maggie Porter may be heading up that effort if she has the time...and Linda Danielovich, Peg Ridgely, Blair Newcomb and Sue Davies all said they would pitch in, along with Robin Dustin and Peter Van Winkle doing press releases (how about that!!!)

Segments of the education program will include a full blown children's program in collaboration with the Sandwich Children's Center, and Adult program, also a major event on the green during Old Home Week...(I need to get to Nancy Morton
to find out what we can and cannot do!!) and finally a whole new look at our
basement and what it would take to completely renovate it so that it draws
artists, craftspeople and students of all ages...

So, you can see big things are going on at the SHI...and I hope you'll come and find out more Thursday the 26th...at the Benz center.
