Apotheca Flowers and Gifts: Look what just popped-up on Elm Street - Manchester Ink Link

A temporary shop opened up Dec. 6 where Lorena’s Cantina restaurant was, as a way of seeing if there is a market for this kind of retailer, says Liz Hitchcock. “We wanted something in there that fits with the core values we’re trying to grow in the downtown,” said Hitchcock, who owns the storefront as part of Pinwheel Properties. “Apotheca cares so much about the customer experience and we wanted to give them a chance to see if we can make retail work in that space.” The cool part, says Hitchcock is how quickly it came together – from idea to reality. “We had reached out about a half-week beforehand with no real plan in place – just to see if there was interest, but it just organically happened and came together,” Hitchcock said. Interior shot via Apotheca on Instagram. According to Apotheca’s Instagram story post, “When the Bookery calls, you say yes!,” according to owner Alyssa Van Guilder, who added the caption to a photograph of the Apotheca sign going up. You can see more photos and video via their Instagram page, where they are featuring a mix of gifts, flowers and home decor. “We’re super excited to work with another local New Hampshire establishment that cares so deeply for customers and customer experience,” Hitchcock said. Seeing a retail revival in the downtown is an often repeated goal of city officials and residents alike. Apotheca joins several other existing retailers who are open for business with plenty of time to shop before the holiday season ends. List via Intown Manchester’s D...

Kern County in full bloom

I have the top best places where you can view the beauty and the early bloom and what nature has to offer in Kern County.   Teresa Hitchcock the Assistant County Administrative Officer for the Kern County Board and Trade has this to say. "We are really excited and this is a fantastic year for wildflowers this year. Wind wolves is fantastic. Anywhere along the Tejon Pass, HWY 178 up the canyon. There are some really spectacular places to see them so basically anywhere in the foothills and if you go to VisitKern.Com we have a wildflowers homepage that will list a number of places to go and see them as well as places where you can hike and camp among the wildflowers." Spring is less than one week away and nature is already showing it in Kern County.  If you have any beautiful pictures of the flowers you can send it to 23ABC on Facebook or Adam Bowles 23ABC on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  https://www.facebook.com/AdamBowles23ABC/...

Tom Barrett's 'Big Heart' Celebrated at Funeral Wednesday

She thanked the staff at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, the Norris Cotton Cancer Center North and at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Memorial Hospital. The Mass was delivered by The Rev. Bernard Gaudreau. He said the turnout for Barrett’s service and Mass were a testament to a man who lived his life beautifully and in faith. The church was filled to capacity with mourners in the lower level of the church watching the service on a live stream. When Barrett would be called to head out with the hearse in the middle of the night when someone died, he worked to summon up the right words to console the bereaved family, Rev. Gaudreau said. “Somehow, he would be God’s instrument to those people, whoever they were,” he said. In a world marked by so much violence and tragedy, including the slaying of five police officers in Dallas just last week, Rev. Gaudreau urged those in attendance at Barrett’s service to emulate the life he lived: to be compassionate, forgiving, self-sacrificing and generous to one another. After the Mass, Thomas J. “TJ” offered the final few stories of his father’s life, and thanked the community for its constant prayer, acts of love and enduring kindness during his father’s illness. TJ said his father was his hero. He shared hunting stories from camp, stories of his dad’s competitive cribbage playing, of his love of music, and how often there was dancing in the Barrett home. His father taught him how to be a fireman, and he shared his deep faith with him, TJ said. When TJ was an altar boy at St. John, his dad taught him to be the altar boy who got there a half-hour early to shovel the walks and make sure everything was ready. The family prayed together to the end, and they prayed for mercy that his dad’s prayer to be ambulatory and keep his wits would be heard, and it was, said TJ. “Jesus came into our home and he took him very quickly,” said TJ, calling that one of a handful of miracles the family was graced with. Barrett was known for his green and black checked wool hat, which was part of the closing procession. Among the attendees were friends from the fire service, the funeral service, Rotary, sugaring, his work on farms and the Ide feed company and people from all walks of life who he had touched. There was a UPS worker in uniform, the St. Johnsbury Academy headmaster, the CEO of Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital and many more. Dozens of those in attendance were firefighters and emergency medical service personnel from across the Northeast Kingdom. A second brotherhood - from local funeral homes - was also among the packed pews, standing the back of the church and flanking the granite steps of the church and procession to the church and at the conclusion of the service, as Barrett’s coffin was solemnly carried to the hearse. A siren was sounded at 12:25 p.m., and the sounds of a lone bagpiper under the shade of a tree were heard as dozens of firemen and EMS personnel lined both sides of the walkway through which Barrett’s coffin passed.

Review: 'Disney and Dalí' exhibit a delightful look at two dreamers

Hollywood trying to drum up projects in films. One of his most famous was the dream sequence in Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound. (Though it was a very watered-down version of his vision for it.) Disney had traveled to South America and been inspired by all of its aspects. He wanted to translate them into a film to be called Destino. He thought Dalí would be a great collaborator. Memorabilia from this era begins with a walk through a huge version of one of Dalí's paintings for the film. Though Disney gave Dalí free artistic rein and admired his unfettered imagination, he pulled the plug on the project after about a year because he grew frustrated with Dalí's inability to edit that imagination, and the studio was having financial problems. We see the collection of drawings that make up a storyboard for the movie and then a brief animation made during the project's demise. Decades later, after both men had died, Destino was realized by the studio, and it plays in a loop in the museum's first-floor theater. It's a lyrical, seamless montage of surrealist images that convey a love story to the soundtrack of a South American ballad. Both moved on: Dalí's later works take on a mystical tone and are influenced by his studies in nuclear theory. Disney built an empire that included theme parks dealing in fantasy. Correspondence shows that they remained friends, visiting each other in California and Spain. A gallery provides photographs as testament to that friendship and sketches for the film Donald in Mathmagic Land show us the enduring influence Dalí had on Disney animation. The final gallery is just pure fun. Strap on goggles and headphones and go on a Surrealist trip through and beyond Dalí's painting, Archeological Reminiscence of Millet's Angelus (1933-35). You'll feel a little like the two men who came together briefly but indelibly for an artistic and intellectual version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
