Lecture and Reception to be held on:
Saturday, April 28th at 3:00 p.m.
Join us at the Quogue Library for a special presentation by craftsman Tom McCormick, long-time
Quogue resident and creator of his own line of
authentic handmade Windsor chairs- classic chairs
that come as close as possible, in style and construction methods, to American chairmakers in the
last half of the 18th century.
Tom first became interested in the clean design of the Windsor chair when
he visited the chairmaker’s museum at Elfreth’s Alley, a residential alley
located in Philadelphia, boasting the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the country, dating back to the early 1700s. Tom’s interest compelled him to enroll in the Windsor Institute in New Hampshire where he
studied the discipline under renowned craftsman Mike Dunbar.
Known for its aesthetics and functionality, the Windsor originated in Europe
and appeared in Philadelphia as early as 1720. The chairs were originally
used both indoors and out, often depicted on porches in Colonial-era artwork. Its unique style has endured more than 250 years after its original
introduction and this classic chair with many styles is coveted for its elegant
style, robust construction, unique patina, comfort and decorative versatility.
A discussion of the tools used to handcraft these intricate pieces will also be
included, with a reception for the craftsman immediately following his presentation! Please call to register at 653-4224 ext. #4.

The Commitments - 1991
Saturday, March 17
Feast 6:30 p.m. - Film 7:15 p.m.
Starring: Robert Arkins &
Michael Aherne
An irresistible, comic drama from
director Alan Parker (Evita), overflowing and alive with passion, humor, and
music, The Commitments showcases
some old R&B standards in a new
light. A headstrong, fast-talking, ambitious young Dubliner (Robert Arkins) fancies himself a promoter of talent, and sets about assembling and packaging a
local Irish R&B band. His group of self-absorbed, backbiting,
but stunningly talented individuals begin to succeed beyond
his wildest dreams, until petty jealousies and recrimination
threaten to scuttle the whole deal. A moody, vivid, and soulful
exploration of the Dublin club scene as well as a showcase for
some wonderful unknown actors, the film also features the
actual band covering classic soul tunes from the likes of Otis
Redding and Sam and Dave. It’s that combination of soul and
soul music that makes The Commitments a special little film.
Rebecca - 1940
Saturday, April 21
Feast 6:30 p.m. - Film 7:15 p.m.
This is very likely Alfred Hitchcock’s
most beloved film—and the one most
often thought of when the term “romantic mystery” comes up. It is a beautiful
and indelible achievement, full and rich
and satisfying.
Daphne du Maurier’s novel was just
what millions of young women in 1938 were waiting for. It told
them that even plain, ordinary young women could become
involved in intrigue, as long as their dream man was standing
beside them to love them. It’s a great read, compulsive and
emotionally viable, and, of its kind, it is a classic.
Hitchcock retells Miss du Maurier’s story with fidelity and
grace. He manages to get all the major characters drawn completely enough to give them the air of believability. A master
of individual scenes, he turns almost every sequence into a
breathtaking set piece.
Joan Fontaine portrays the second Mrs. de Winter. This is the
only role she ever played in which her innocent charm and
modest demeanor seem so perfectly appropriate. As Maxim de
Winter, Laurence Olivier assumes a part he could almost have
played in his sleep. Two formidable supporting actresses,
Judith Anderson and Gladys Cooper supplement admirably.
Miss Anderson creates an unforgettable figure as the mysterious Mrs. Danvers, and Miss Cooper is a joy as Maxim’s nononsense sister. George Sanders, Nigel Bruce, Florence Bates
and Reginald Denny all contribute wonderful portrayals.

The News from Paraguay:
A Novel by Lily Tuck
Tuck’s historical novel of nineteenthcentury Paraguay is told largely through
(and sometimes in the voice of) Ella
Lynch, a blond, fair-skinned Irishwoman
who, while a courtesan in Paris, met
Francisco Solano Lopez, the son of Paraguay’s dictator. She
became his mistress and, after Lopez (known as Franco) succeeded his father, she was the most powerful woman in the
country. As an Irishwoman in Paraguay, Tuck’s Ella is an
outsider. But so, in a way, is Franco, a megalomaniac who
builds a theatre modeled on La Scala then, wages a disastrous war against Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Paraguay’s
malarial swamps and faux-European high society are the
perfect setting for Tuck’s dark wit, and her novel is quickened by such details as Ella’s pink marble palace and her
son’s “necklace”, made from the ears of enemy soldiers on a
rawhide string. A pearl for potential book discussion participants -- “Tuck’s prose is elegant, and the subject well
researched.”---New York Times Book Review

The Color of Water: A Black Man’s
Tribute to His White Mother
by James McBride
McBride grew up one of twelve siblings in
the all-black housing projects of Red
Hook, Brooklyn, the son of a black minister and a woman who would not admit she
was white. The object of McBride's constant embarrassment, and his continuous
fear for her safety, his mother was an
inspiring figure, who through sheer force
of will saw her dozen children through college, and many
through graduate school. McBride was an adult before he
discovered the truth about his mother: the daughter of a
failed itinerant Orthodox rabbi in rural Virginia, she had run
away to Harlem, married a black man, and founded an allblack Baptist church in her living room in Red Hook. In this
remarkable memoir, she tells in her own words the story of
her past. Around her narrative, James McBride has written a
powerful portrait of growing up, a meditation on race and
identity, and a poignant, beautifully crafted hymn from a son
to his mother.

ART GALLERY NEWS!
MARCH – THE QUOGUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRESENTS THE 7TH
ANNUAL CHILDREN’S ART EXHIBIT, “WHO’S WHO AT THE QUOGUE ZOO?”
The exhibit will be on display at the Quogue Library Art Gallery throughout the month of March.
The Quogue School’s art room, under the direction of Ms. Ginger Anderson, has functioned as
an efficient art factory. All Quogue School children can proclaim themselves an integral and
cooperative creator of each piece of art work. Where one class stopped working the next class
continued.
Included in the exhibit are large paper mache sculptures and enormous paintings of animals.
MeMe, the 7' baby giraffe, is sure to be a show stopper! Oscar, the 4' sea lion, poises a beach
ball on his nose while balancing on a pedestal! Look at the wall and find Rosie, the colorful peacock displaying her plumage,
Bobo, the playful chimpanzee climbing down the wall, Billy Bob Macaw as he sits on his branch and the Queen Bee in her
hive.
In addition to the paper mache animals there are paintings of zebras, pandas, tigers, penguins, flamingos, elephants and butterflies as well as imaginative driftwood animals.
APRIL – “LOCAL COLOR”
Featured in the gallery for April will be works by two East End photographic artists
with different techniques and methods:
Carolyn Munoco Haines, who uses a multi media process and
Meryl Spiegel, who combines photography with text.
An opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 7 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Carolyn Munoco Haines has a BFA
degree in Fine Arts and photography from
Southampton College at LIU. She is the
recipient of several awards for Master Art
Photography including the Liquitex
Excellence in Art University Award.
Carolyn works in a multi-media
process combining photography, water
color, pen and ink, pencil and other variants of drawing to obtain results that are
serene and often spiritual. She has been
attached to these forms of creativity since
she first put crayon to paper as a very
young child.
“Photography satisfies my interest in
history, preservation, realism, and the natural world, while the painting and drawing
are pure creativity. Combining them into
single works has come naturally to me and
has provided a new outlet for expressing
my emotions,” she explains.
C a r o l y n ’s
works of local
scenes
has
been exhibited
in several solo
and group galleries from Remsenburg to Amagansett, as
well as commissions from private collectors.
She resides in Hampton Bays with her
husband and three children.

Meryl Spiegel is a photographer, writer
and college professor who has worked in a
range of creative areas since graduating from
Syracuse University’s School of Public Communications with a major in journalism. In 200l, she earned her MFA in English and Writing from Long Island
University.
With the original intent of writing and producing film documentaries, she
has evolved into a photographic artist who records the people and places
around her, often combining images with text. After working at Time-Life
Films making documentaries, Meryl decided to create mini-documentaries on
her own by focusing on the still image.
Relying on a Hasselblad camera, she shoots all of her images on film, scans
the negatives into a computer and then prints them digitally. “I have not yet
found a digital camera that can replicate the results I get on film with my
Hasselblad,” said Meryl.
Recently, she completed a book of photo/essays exploring street life in and
around Manhattan, entitled WANDERING NEW YORK. “Combining words
with images provides a deeper means of expression to the artist and a deeper
level of understanding to the viewer,” she said.
Meryl studied photography at the International Center of Photography in
New York, the Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, France and digital
printing at the Image-Ouverte Photography School. Her photographs have
been widely exhibited in galleries on the East End as well as in private collections. She has worked as a freelance journalist and has published over 30
feature articles for the New York Times-LI Section.
In 2002, Meryl began teaching at the college level and created a course
entitled “Writing Through the Lens.” This honors course incorporates writing
techniques she has developed through her photography.
Included in the exhibition are color landscape photographs of the East End
and several photo essays from the Meryl Spiegel series “Wandering New York.”
She resides in East Quogue with her husband and two daughters.

The Encounter: Animorphs #3, by K.A. Applegate
I am Tobias. I am not human, only my mind is. I am trapped in a bird
body. I have suffered the curse of the antladine. My friends are
human, well mostly. They can change into animals, so they have
mixed D.N.A. We’ve found a ship that delivers air, and water to the
Yerk base in space. Our plan is for everyone except me to morph into
a fish, and sneak in through the water pipe. When the ship is above
the city they will deactivate the cloaking device, and the army’s will
do the rest. When things don’t go as planned, they’re forced to destroy
the ship instead.
