Sandwich News Column

By Stephanie Goddard

A late afternoon thunder shower rumbles through Sandwich, hard rain pelting every surface. The echoing booms threaten to interrupt a peaceful late summer day. The sky darkens, yet a glimmer of hope pierces through when a patch of blue holds steady. In life, like a thunderstorm, if you wait it out, if you let the rain wash away the stale air, a new, fresh day or season opens before you. Welcome September.

Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery

The Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery is delighted to announce its latest exhibit, Scapes. The show brings together cityscapes, seascapes, landscapes, and flowerscapes under the barn roof. The show features work by gallery artists and therefore offers a variety of different perspectives on landscape art.
Each artist brings a unique voice to the gallery walls. New works that will be featured include paintings by artists Michael Doyle and Margery Thomas Mueller. Emerging artists Gwen Hoyt, Timothy Girard, and Jocelyn Paradis will also be on display alongside many gallery favorites such as work by Brooke Hedge, Joan Barnum, Jonathan Pellow, Sallie Wolf, and Dan Falby.
As a celebration of artistic diversity, the exhibit includes a broad spectrum of techniques and styles. Many of the artists such as Doyle and Barnum express their talents through a more traditional approach to painting. Pellow’s photographs depict the lines of city architecture sometimes softened by fog or clouds while Brook Hedge's work evokes an emotional response through her mastery of technique. Meanwhile, Falby’s abstract ceramic sculptures contribute a nice contrast that sparks dialogue about what makes something a landscape. This diverse collection is aimed at making the viewer question how they observe and interact with the environments around them.
For more information about the gallery and the artists in the show, please visit our website at patricialaddcaregagallery.com or call us at (603) 284 7728. We hope that you join us for an exciting night of conversation and a chance to meet some of our talented artists.
Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery is located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich, www.patricialaddcaregagallery.com or 603-284-7728 for further information. Bring your questions and curiosity. We look forward to seeing you.

Please arrive at the Transfer Station at least 15 minutes before closing to allow for unloading and closure for the day. Kevin and John appreciate being able to close on time. Reminder: if you are recycling larger cardboard, please be sure it is cut to a maximum size of 4' x 4'. Larger pieces jam up our compactors!


Styrofoam Collection

From Mark Longly of the Sandwich Recycling Group:
Styrofoam collection at the Sandwich transfer station has been going well and our 
weekly deliveries to the Gilford densifier have resulted in savings from reduced
hauling fees as well as lower emissions and ash from incineration. In addition 
to these benefits, the recycled material is used as feedstock in making insulation 
board, thereby replacing the need for virgin polymer in the construction process. 
Our hub location in Gilford, serving 12 towns, has diverted more than 88 40-yard 
containers from landfills or incinerators. 
However, there are three things you can do to make the task of preparing recycled 
Styrofoam for shipment easier for me and the equipment operators in Gilford:
1.) The material to be fed into the densifier's hopper must be broken down to less than 12" X 12" sized pieces.
2.) The Styrofoam must be free of contamination. Please clean any food scraps and remove all packaging, tape, cardboard, and labels. 
3.) Polypropylene packaging cannot be densified. Expanded polypropylene is soft and flexible, whereas expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam) is rigid and breakable.
