In a converted
barn west of Smithfield, 371 pairs of eyes watch you in the 'doll
room'
06/28/01
The cement-made
cobblestone path leads to the miniature, wooden bridge over the foot
deep canal that takes water to the back yard, the path then follows
to the front door. The vibrant yellow and red tulips are blooming
and the wind is always a little stronger here than "in town."
The only sound is the gentle breeze. This is where Annette Van Natter,
a doll maker, lives. / By Angela Johnson

Quilting
is a lifelong process
06/19/01
Over a century
ago women would salvage any scraps they could from old curtains, bedding,
clothing, sacks, and sewing projects. They would stitch the odd shapes
and mismatched colors into quilts that would cover their beds. Most
of these women used makeshift tools, had no formal education and knew
little about mathematics or geometry. / By Kalleen Kidd

'The
Boys Next Door' is funny and touching as it explores the world of
mentally handicapped
06/26/01
What is it that makes you happy? For Norman it is a box full of doughnuts
and his set of keys. For Barry it is the image of himself as a golf
pro. And Lucien? His happiness revolves around imaginary bunnies,
books he can't read and his Spiderman tie. These are some of the main
charactars of the play The Boys Next Door at the Old Lyric
Theater. These grown men are supervised by a man named Jack. /
