CERAMIC ART BROTHER THOMAS â 1 CUT â

SS/jl set 12-26

WILLIAMSTOWN, MASS. â A collection of porcelain vessels and tea bowls by Brother Thomas Bezanson, a world renowned ceramic artist, is currently on view at The Harrison Gallery. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Brother Thomas studied art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and traveled extensively in Europe before entering the Benedictine Monastery at Weston Priory in Vermont, where he taught philosophy and practiced his art for 25 years. Since 1985 he has been artist-in-residence at Mount Saint Benedict in Erie, Penn.

The work is an example of an artistâs synthesis with life and the creative spirit of nature. Collected by individuals and museums around the world, Brother Thomas is known both for the creative originality of his forms and the extraordinary beauty of his glazes, many of which he has developed over the past 50 years. Whether it is a traditional vase with a glowing copper red glaze, a curvaceous abstract form covered in a wintry ice crackle wash, or a delicate tea bowl with a flashing swirl of ash yellow, each of these works represent a quiet and contemplative response to an artistâs discovery of beauty.

His ceramic art is represented in over 50 museums including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Vatican Museum Collection in Rome, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Other artists currently on view at The Harrison Gallery include Mary Sipp Green and Jim Schantz of Stockbridge, Chet Kalm and Audrey Blafield of Lenox, and John MacDonald of Williamstown. The Gallery, 39 Spring Street, is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 5:30 pm and Sunday, Noon â 5 pm.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).
