Sheep Station:
Michael Shvo e Paul Kasmin Gallery têm o prazer de apresentar Sheep Station, que caracteriza o trabalho do artista falecido François-Xavier Lalanne como a exposição inaugural da Estação Getty, um novo programa de arte pública, localizada em um antigo posto de combustível. Esta exposição inovadora vai estrear em 17 de setembro de 2013 na 10th Avenue.
Sheep Station mostra 25 ovelhas, e marcar a maior coleção de sempre ser exibido publicamente numa apresentação ao ar livre. Primeira iteração das esculturas de Lalanne era seu infame "Moutons de Laine 'em 1965, gradualmente expandindo este corpo especial de trabalho para incluir variações adicionais da escultura em pedra epóxi e bronze em 1977. Estação Sheep incluirá obras de sua série" Les Nouveaux Moutons '- composta pelo Belier (1994), o Brebis (1994), o borrego (1996), e Le Mouton Transumantes (1988). Também é mostrado uma série anterior intitulado "Mouton de Pierre", executado entre 1979 e 1984.
Situado numa paisagem surrealista em meio à arquitetura estação de gás industrial existente, as ovelhas simbolizam a missão de Lalanne para desmistificar a arte e capturar sua joie de vivre. 'Moutons "tornaram-se a obra mais emblemática de Lalanne, incorporando sua própria abordagem à arte ao comentar sobre a natureza da própria arte.

Young people learn life skills through DARE program
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
LANDSTUHL, Germany – Juggling red balloons symbolized life’s many challenges during graduation for a Drug Abuse Resistance Education program held recently at Wilson Barracks.
Fifth graders were helping Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, juggle several red balloons. A blue balloon was tossed in, representing drugs and alcohol, to show the difficulty of keeping life’s balloons aloft with an added impairment.
Spontaneously, Zetterstrom tapped the blue balloon to the floor and popped it with his desert-colored combat boot.
“I saw that it represented something bad,” Zetterstrom said. “Stomping it out was the right thing to do.”
Lessons like that are what the DARE program is about. Since 1983, DARE has taught millions of students worldwide about the effects of alcohol and drugs. Each April, "National DARE Day" is commemorated in the United States by a presidential proclamation, community events and activities.
In Kaiserslautern Military Community's fours elementary schools, students complete 10 lessons over several weeks, working from DARE planners.
Weekly lessons often include acting out skits on peer pressure and watching videos about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Landstuhl’s graduating class was the first for Army Sgt. Raymond Engstrom, 29, of Cottage Grove, Minn., a garrison military police officer. The thought of facing children in classrooms each week was daunting at first. Yet, Engstrom knew the importance of DARE discussions and began enjoying the classes.
“You learn to have fun with it,” Engstrom said. “They’re just young people. I always refrain from calling them kids or students. I’d say “people about your age.”
Over the past few months, Engstrom has developed significantly, said his supervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Rouse, the provost marshal operations sergeant.
“He’s ran with it,” Rouse said. “Now he’s very interactive with the kids, parents and school staff. And I think he enjoys it significantly.”
During the graduation, held at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Heaton Auditorium, Zetterstrom said he was proud to see Army noncommissioned offer leading the DARE program
“We’re American living overseas. We want our children to have the best education possible,” Zetterstrom said. “Learning is not always about academics, it’s about life skills and that’s what DARE does.”

This was a "cartoon kit" for a 1950's CBS interactive TV program with a cartoon character named Winky Dink (*and his dog Woofer)
This mail-order kit provided the child crayons, a cloth wiper, and a vynil plastic sheet that you rubbed onto the TV screen using static!
During the show, the child would draw on their screen to follow along with the show.
The show aired for 4 years before parents complained about the kids being too close to their monitors(*uh huh)
Nontheless, an interesting piece of "saturday morning" cartoonhistory and interactive TV memorobilia.

I became intrigued with Meto several years ago under some very strange circumstances. I asked some of Metos Tennessee kin for the story, and they have graciously allowed me to post it here. While most people in this area have a Cherokee in the cupboard somewhere, Meto is Shawnee. I assume he must have been a strikingly handsome young man for the girl to insist on having him right away. Here is the story from his family:
Many years ago there were peddlers who came through the mountains carrying their wares usually on their back. One such peddler appeared in the Poplar Mountain area close to the area where Clinton and Wayne County connect. With him he had a Shawnee Indian lad of probably 14 or 15 years. They showed up at a local home. The man of the house had a daughter about the same age as the Indian boy. She told her father that she wanted the boy and the short side of the story is that he traded for the boy. It was illegal for a white woman to marry an Indian but she evidently loved the boy and to put it delicately they co-habited. When the boy showed up the only possession he had was a token which supposedly had the word Meto on it. ( Perhaps it said Metro). That is where the name Meto comes from.
From this co-habitation came a daughter. . She was of course a half breed so was not socially acceptable. She, Betsy, became the mistress of a man named James. He kept his regular family in what was referred to as the "Mansion House" up on the road. Back in the orchard, he had a little cabin where Betsy or Bessy lived with her children. Meto died at the Blevins home in Pisgah. He had driven a flock of turkeys to Jamestown, Tennessee to sell and on his way home he took sick and stopped at the Blevins home-place. During the night, he died and they were going to bury him in the Smith graveyard there on the Kentucky Tennessee line, but the Smith's protested that no Indian was going to be buried in their graveyard. So they took Meto down the road a couple of hundred yards and buried him there. For many years there was only an old fieldstone there to mark his grave. Engraved on the stone was the word Meto or Metto, I can't recall just which one
Many years later, (probably in the 50s or early 60s) .... the family stopped by the gravesite. When they arrived, everyone got out of the car and grandmother took the storyteller by the hand and we walked off down thru the woods. They came upon this grave, and the grandmother had brought a bouquet of flowers which she placed on the grave. The grandson asked her who this was and for a long time she didn't say anything. Finally she said, "Aw, that's some of mammy's people". Mammy was what she called her mother, Emma. In those days you didn't talk about having any Indian ancestors, at least Grandma didn't. Family members today from varied braches tell this story the same way and it has varied little if any over the years.
Even if it drags you through thistles and leads you astray. As it always does.

Participants in the Florida Master Naturalist Program's Coastal Restoration Course volunteered with Tampa Bay Watch to place oyster homes around Fanatasy Island in Hillsborough County. Oysters will eventually settle on the domes, resembling a natural oyster reef. The new reef will serve as a living shoreline to prevent coastal erosion and improve water clarity.
Approximately 50 children of Virginia National Guard and active duty military parents took part in the Teen Wilderness Adventure Camp held at Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing in New Castle June 26 to 30. The camp was organized by the Virginia National Guard Youth Program in partnership with Operation: Military Kids and offered an opportunity for teens to grow together in a non-traditional learning environment with activities that develop leadership and effective communication. Activities at the camp included kayaking, mountain biking, hiking and outdoor activities for building confidence and teamwork. (Photo by Cotton Puryear, Va. Department of Military Affairs)
PEPP = Planetary Entry Parachute Program
"Construction of flight test unit from which parachutes will be deployed in a series of experiments to check out new techniques for landing unmanned capsules on Mars. A metal skin is being placed over the disc-shaped frame with a central tube which will house the packaged parachute. The unit will be carried to an altitude of about 140,000 miles by a huge balloon. It will then be released and when free from the balloon the unit will be propelled to a downward velocity of about 10,000 miles per hour by eight small rocket engines. This velocity will closely simulate the speed of a capsule entering the Martian atmosphere. When the unit has been propelled downward to 130,000 feet the parachute carrying a small instrument package will be deployed. The disc-shaped carrier will fall freely to the ground, and the parachute and laboratory instrument package will be recovered for inspection and laboratory analysis. The tests are scheduled to begin mid-1966 at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. In some tests Nike sounding rockets will be used to launch the smaller flight units."
