York students present Art in the Airport
York School students learn about the subtleties and challenges of imaging themselves in paintings and sculpture during their freshman year, and they continue “facing themselves at various art levels up and through Advanced Placement Studio studies as Seniors,” according to York art instructors Gerard Martin and Jag Wagstaff. The drawings, collages, sculpture and paintings that the students have created will be on display at the Monterey Regional Airport from Feb. 24-May 15, 2012 in an exhibition entitled “Art in the Airport.” The display will occupy the upper level of the airport terminal. It is open around the clock. Student artists include: Samantha Adams ’13, Haley Bartl-Geller ’15, Jesse Blalock ’12, Eli Block ’12, Liam Chaffey ’15, Kory Campodonico-Lave ’15, Marisa Fernandez ’13, Nina Lorence-Ganong ’15, Krishma Gupta-Shenton ’13, Alex Harvey ’12, Gabrielle Jardini ’12, Lizzie Jopin ’13, Izzie Leahy ’14, Kelsey Mefford ’13, Angela Ng ’12, Jessica Ng ’15, Katy Ohsiek ’14, Caitlin Raines ’13, Brandon Saisho ’12, Riley Small ’15, Elina Smith ’12, Kristina Uchida ’12, Claire Westercamp ’12, Krista Young ’14, and Reggis Zhang ’14. The opening reception for “Art in the Airport” is Fri., Feb. 24, from 5-6:30 p.m. The show, which is free and open to the public, will be open through May 15, 2012. Visitors to the show will receive complimentary parking after identifying themselves at the airport administration office adjacent to the short-term parking lot. For more information, contact Ilene Tuttle, airport art consultant, at 831.624.7910 or ilenetuttle@aol.com.
Five Monterey firefighters, all formerly Carmel firefighters, will leave for New York in a month on a very special mission. They’ll attend a ceremony when a piece of steel from the World Trade Center, destroyed nearly 10 years ago by terrorists, will be hand cut and presented to them. They will load the piece on a fire engine from sister city Carmel, NY – 60 miles from New York City – and from there will escort it back across the United States, visiting fire stations and other first responders on the way back, until it reaches Carmel, CA. It will be the longest person-to-person passage of any 9-11 steel to date. It will not be a very big piece of steel, measuring 12”x14”x1”, but it will carry the hopes, memories and respect of millions of Americans. Once in Carmel, it will become a part of a planned September 11th Memorial, “Resolve & Remembrance.” The concept was the idea of a Carmel resident, Carrie Ann, who began pressing Carmel City Council to approve a request by the Carmel firehouse for such a memorial. Unsuccessful at generating support there, she took matters into her own hands. Despite learning that the deadline for such requests from New York had passed two years before, she continued hoping and working, finally getting approval from the New York Fire Commissioner himself. Today there is a drive for local artists to enter a design contest, and for the community to become involved in fund-raising efforts. The memorial is envisioned as being made of local Carmel Stone. Much more information about the effort to obtain the steel and build the memorial is available on their website
at www.Carmel911memorial.us. For information on the design portion, email info@carmel911memorial.us. The firefighters who will to to New York are union officials from Monterey Firefighters Association. President Jim Courtney and Justin Cooper will fly out with the others, but will return on their own. Danny Givens will become treasurer for the endeavor. He, along with Union vice president Bob Wilkins and Kenny Hutchinson are the three who will escort the piece of steel back to California. They will cross 12 states and travel more than 3,000 miles, making at least 20 stops at firehouses and schools along the way. Plans call for the group to use a GPS to track their journey and to report back regularly on their progress with pictures and blogs. Cedar Street Times will create a link on our home page to the Carmel Memorial website so that interested people can “stay tuned.” Though the firefighters intend to pay for the trip personally, donations are more than welcome. There will be expenses for food, lodging, gas, and a rental vehicle as well as the cost of the air flight to New York. Anyone who sponsors can have their logo included in materials that will be created to promote the trip. To donate to the firefighters’ journey, checks payable to Monterey Firemen’s Association, with “9-11 Memorial Journey” written on the memo line, may ne mailed to MFA c/o Monterey Firefighters Association, Attn: Danny, P.O. Box 3063, Monterey 93942. Tax ID@ is 01683666. For more information call Jim Courtney at 831-402-8124 or email him at courtney12172@comcast.net.
