Description
Description
Stories on the Reading and Writing Process, Notes from the Dump, a wooden boat builder, and we visit New Hampshire's Basement - where items not on display at the NH Historical Society are kept. Eloise Daniels' last show.. Believe it or not kids in a new writing process method are writing and reading more--and enjoying it! Thanks to the seminal research of UNH Professor Donald Graves.. Terry Ward is an independent trashman in Acworth who will pick up your garbage for $2 a pop. But he's also a "new journalist" who publishes his caustic observations in a very independent weekly journal titled "Notes from the Dump" which has a circulation of 300-500. His "news room" is the town dump--"You hear a lot at the dump, it's a very public place," he says. . A tour of NH Historical Society Basement. All the stuff off shelves. Featuring curator Barbara Austen.. The Golden Age of Boat building seems to have slipped past us. Modern fiberglass sailboats far outnumber more majestic and romantic wooden boats. Gordon Swift is one of the few left who have built and worked on these beautiful old sailboats. We'll talk about boat building and wooden boats of yesterday and today. Gordon Swift has been building wooden boats for nearly 30 years. He is one of a select few who still build and repair wooden boats. We will also talk about the mystique that is so often attached to a wooden sailboat.
