Physics inspired art at LVC

From the Lebanon Valley College website today:

"Carol Brown Goldberg, who draws her inspiration from physics, will exhibit her abstract paintings at the Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery at Lebanon Valley College early in 2010. Carol Brown Goldberg: Aura and the Implicate Order will be on display from Jan.15 through Feb. 21. Goldberg’s works explore the relationship between color, shape, movement, and space. Comprised of grids of colored circles, her large canvases draw the viewer’s eye through and beyond the rhythm of the receding circles.

“Physics is inspiration, my muse,” she writes on her website. “Quantum particles of hadrons, mesons, bosons, and fermions, anthropomorphized by me, dance across the cosmic space of my canvas.” Her broad spectrums of colors, executed in acrylic, are intensified by the pulverized glass that Goldberg adds to her pigments, creating an effect that she compares to the twinkling cosmos at night. "...

"Gallery hours are Wednesdays from 5 to 8 p.m.; Thursdays and Fridays from 1 to 4:30 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and by appointment for groups. Schools and other groups are encouraged to contact the Gallery at 717-867-6445 or mailto:detweile@lvc.edu for a guided tour."

Another driver loses control of vehicle in Gretna

Surely the rest of you have not missed seeing the demolished rock monument and game land sign that used to be posted on 117 as you enter Mt. Gretna from Mt. Wilson Rd.? So it is, another driver lost control of his vehicle and completely destroyed the Game Land sign and monument (yes, a rock monument). Who is claiming that one...bet that black vehicle was totaled by the insurance provider.

Seems like there STILL is a very serious problem here--a problem that is not corrected by lashing out at one or two vocal residents. And, it seems like that problem has been complained about for many years by many others. Just read this excerpt from a Groce newsletter, Feb. 2006:

""""TEN TOPICS ON MT. GRETNA TONGUES THIS WINTER...

Topic No. 10: Did I see speed checks, using honest-to-goodness chase cars, in Mt. Gretna several times last week? Indeed you did. Cornwall Borough police say they’ve received complaints about trucks, cars and motorcycles speeding through town along Rte. 117, especially during mornings and late afternoons. “We’ll continue to conduct those checks at unannounced times and places,” says Chief Bruce Harris.""""

So, again, I have to ask, why won't Harris, Allwein, Care, et alia respond to the more recent complaints, and, why didn't Harris continue these "unannounced" checks?

Can it it be, Toto, that hypocrisy and failure to perform their public duties have infected their better judgment? What exactly are they trying prove? This problem/concern hasn't changed, except that its gotten worse. Trust me, fate will give you what you are asking for, Bill, Chuck, and Bruce--unfettered speeding on a road chock full of vulnerable people, all year long.

Again, exactly what point are you trying to prove, guys?

Show your compassion during the holiday season

This little bloke spent the two days before the snow wandering about SR 117. He is a very gentle boy, friendly with other dogs, cats, and humans. He was cold, hungry, and had bloody paws, yet he still was wagging his tail at a smile and a hug.

He is at the Humane Shelter (on Ramona Rd. in Myerstown), and his number is 5889. He would be very happy to have a warm home for Christmas and to start the new year off with a family that loves him.

They open at 11am (closed Mondays). Their phone number is 717-273-3300.

I obviously can't provide this abandoned companion animal with any support since Care has already been on the prowl for a few months now, looking for the opportunity to drum up a few more "charges" to bring against my wife and I--including animal welfare charges. Personally, I feel that since a "critical mass" number of the residents here are not "peer pressuring" him into acting more civilized towards the person that is asking for accountablility in our public officials, the rest of you should pony up to take responsibility for the situation that your acquiesence has created: get together and find this Mt. Gretna stray a nice home, since my generosity towards the Creator's other gifts will only be used against me in this community.

Mr. Treasurer, a question for you...

Are you asking us to believe that the audits are being done without the use of digital templates, and that you are not able to provide the public with a digital copy--perhaps for the price of a CD/DVD? Or even just provide a link to it on the entity's website?

Jeese, are we really in the stone age here still?
