Arts outdoors - five top summer events In Review’Asuccessful garden is one that has a sense of place,” begins Arne Maynard.

I believe him because, in garden design circles, he is God. So even if he scarcely utters a word today, some of the magic from his own creation at the end of a single-track lane near Usk is bound to rub off.

But Maynard, 43, a genial man with a ready smile, runs at full throttle, which surely comes as a relief to we dozen students of the soil paying ï¿¡180 each to learn about “The Main Plant Players - Designing Structure with Plants“.

Maynard’s one and two-day courses, running from March to November, are now in their second year and the venue is his own newly created garden at his 15th-century hall house in Monmouthshire.

Whether you want to design kitchen gardens, build earthworks, mazes and knots or learn how to make the most of topiary, summer perennials and winter woodlands, these educational days feature seasonal themes and well-made lunches.

The garden - a redundant farmyard of grassy banks and orchards with a stream and an ancient track running through it - is a beguiling open-air classroom.

As we stand in the approach to Maynard’s house, which is planted with an emerging tapestry of Angelica sylvestris ‘Vicar’s Mead’ and Geranium phaeum ‘Lily Lovell’, he explains his naturalistic approach to structure: “The garden melts into the landscape so that it roots into its setting.”

Maynard achieves a gentle transition from woods to garden with a 30-year-old topiary beech standing beside the track.

“It’s saying ‘This is the way’, it almost draws you in,” he says, as the track takes us across a bridge over the stream where thistles (Cirsium rivulare ‘Atropurpureum’) grow.

Beech, yew, box and Ilex crenata are among Maynard’s main players, and he clips them into free-flowing topiary. As he wanted his garden to look good quickly, his trees are mature and wildly expensive - the beech was a stupefying ï¿¡4,500 from a specialist nursery in Holland.

“The Dutch and the Belgians have always moved large trees - the secret is to keep moving them and cutting the roots to create a tight root ball. Our culture is different - we like growing from seed and taking cuttings,” he continues.

His planting is robust. “I don’t want a garden that’s too precious,” he says.

“It’s about connecting the landscape with the garden - it will appear completely seamless but will get very intense around the house with a mad jumble of topiary.”

Weaving between huge yews, a swirling contemporary earthwork is planted with a spiral of copper beech at different heights.

At the rear of his house, a boundary fence has blurred into the landscape; more earthworks planted with bush apple trees allow the garden to merge with the pastoral amphitheatre behind, where the line of an old drovers’ road cuts through the middle distance.

After lunch, in the loft of a barn, Maynard discusses design. There is no glass in the wooden mullions. “I so like the connection with outside,” he says, flinging back the shutters.

He explains how he trims, tames, pollards and pleaches, how he half-annihilates an ancient yew hedge to spectacular effect, how he sinks a drive to lose it in the landscape and how he despises parked cars.

We students scribble in notebooks. “Apart from a few trees, my garden is non-existent. I’ve never done anything like this before; I’ve come to listen to one of my gardening heroes,” whispers Louise Brook, who wants to transform her garden in Italy.

Emma Mills from West Sussex, also intends to try what she has picked up on the course.

“What attracted me to Arne is his idea that you bring the landscape into the garden and look to nature for inspiration. I like his holistic approach,” she says.

Archie Scott from Whitchurch concurs: “I’m a professional gardener specialising in hard landscaping but on a smaller scale - a day like this is where I get new ideas.”

Dirty hands and clothes couldn’t dampen the spirits of volunteers planting flowers, fixing porches and building community spirit Saturday on Adams Street.

The work was part of Kalamazoo College’s first Day of Gracious Giving, a program to help mark the school’s 175th anniversary.

Students, alumni and faculty volunteered to work on five community-service projects, from home repair to landscaping to preparing meals for the homeless.

On Adams Street, in the Oakwood neighborhood, there were some 150 students doing repairs on 15 homes.

“I really wanted to get involved in the community like I did back home,” said Allie Sachnoff, 19, a K-College freshman from Los Angeles, who was painting trim on a resident’s house.

“It gives students a chance to get out and do something (worthwhile) outside of the classroom.”

Another service project brought together volunteers to do landscaping, painting and yard cleanup in six different neighborhoods.

“It’s a really neat program,” said resident Cheryl Arendt, 42, who had a stone garden built in the backyard of her home on Adams.

She said she didn’t know if the project would be completed, but “Everybody really came out to support this project.

“People are congregating, going from house to house,” she said. “It’s the community, residents and students coming together to beautify the streets.”

Other projects volunteers tackled Saturday were:

Renovating two houses on Phelps Street in the Eastside neighborhood. Tutoring, mentoring, conflict-resolution and after-school programming will be offered at the homes once the work is done. Volunteers also cleared an area of debris for a playground for youths.

Removing trash and growth from a local creek between Academy and Lovell streets.

Preparing food, serving it and then cleaning up after lunch at Ministry with Community.

Cleaning up yards on Hoover Street.

Janice Lakers, 63, who lives on Adams, said she appreciated the work students did in building a new front porch at her home.

“Wow, it’s great,” she said.

Lakers moved back to Kalamazoo in 2005 after teaching singing in the Netherlands for 22 years.

“It great to get to know my neighbors and that the students came out to help,” she said.

NEW YORK, USA: The Caribbean’s positioning as a valuable and viable brand took a major step forward this month with the launch of the Caribbean Tourism Development Company’s (CTDC) new consumer travel site www.caribbeantravel.com. CTDC, the marketing and business development unit owned equally by the Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA) and the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), presented the new site to members of the travel press, describing it as a colourful and content-rich site designed to be the central portal to all things related to Caribbean travel. Extending her congratulations to CTDC, Caroline Racine, Director of Caribbean Franchise Development for Choice Hotels International, said the new website represented %26quot;another landmark initiative in Caribbean collaboration%26quot; as she commended the partners from both the public and private sector.

(From left) President of the Caribbean Hotel Association Peter Odle, Caroline Racine of Choice Hotels International, Antigua %26amp; Barbuda’s Minister of Tourism Harold Lovell, and Senator Allen Chastanet, St. Lucia’s Minister of Tourism at the Caribbean website launch in New York earlier this month.

%26quot;The Caribbean has only scratched the surface to increase its share of international travel and tourism revenues, and this branding strategy should help reap rewards not just for the businesses that operate in the region, but for the people and communities who call the Caribbean home,%26quot; she said. The CTDC will soon introduce an interactive consumer web video contest with the theme %26quot;Why My Life Needs the Caribbean,%26quot;offering Caribbean vacations as prizes for winners. %26quot;Our goal with CaribbeanTravel.com is to create a one-stop shop for travelers and travel agents with all necessary information, images and vacation offers at their fingertips,%26quot; said Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace, co-CEO of the CTDC and Secretary General of the CTO. %26quot;Our goal since day one of the creation of the CTDC has been to create buzz and business for the Caribbean,%26quot; said CHA Director-General Alec Sanguinetti, who doubles as co-CEO of the CTDC. Choice Hotels International, the strategic hotel partner of the Caribbean Hotel Association, seeks to help increase the profitability of Caribbean small hotels with state-of-the-art revenue management systems, a powerful reservations system, a US$175 million marketing campaign, and dedicated Brand Performance Consultants.

PROVO %26#151; The Provo Bulldogs had little trouble the first time through the Region 7 boys basketball slate, winning two games by 30 points and the other three by no fewer than eight points.

The second time around, however, things are likely going to be a little tougher as every team is sure to bring its best game when facing the Bulldogs in the rematches.

Tuesday’s 42-38 win over the Payson Lions might have been a taste of things to come for Provo. In the first meeting the Bulldogs dominated from start to finish in a 30-point blowout. On Tuesday, Provo never led by more than eight and almost let the game slip away down the stretch.

“Hopefully this will wake us up and we’ll come out and play a little better against Mountain View on Friday,” Provo coach Craig Drury said.

In the earlier blow-out loss the Lions went at Provo with a zone defense. On Tuesday they defended the Bulldogs with a man defense, were much more patient on offense and didn’t allow Provo to get into a transition game.

“I’ve always felt Payson was a good team,” Drury said. “They weren’t getting things together at the first of the year and now they are getting things together.”
Story continues below

Provo won despite missing 11 free throws. In one stretch the Bulldogs missed five straight from the line. In the final minutes the Bulldogs also took some bad shots, committed a couple of senseless fouls and turned the ball over twice, which allowed Payson to stay within striking distance right down to the final seconds.

“They played well and we played just well enough to win,” Drury said.

The Lions kept the game a back-and-forth affair in the first half by pounding the ball inside to center Seth Lovell, who scored 12 first-half points in leading Payson to a 17-16 halftime lead. In the second half, however, the Bulldogs clamped down on the entry passes to Lovell and allowed him only two baskets over the final two quarters.

“I think we identified where it looked like they wanted to go with the ball. I thought we tried to do the same things in the first half, we just didn’t do them as well,” Drury said.

As a result, the Lions didn’t make a second-half basket until halfway through the third. When Kyle Collinsworth hit a driving scoop shot and Adam Law followed up with a fast-break layup, the Bulldogs led 25-21. However, when Provo shut down Payson’s inside game the Lions’ guards responded. A three-pointer by Jacob Tipton and one late in the period by Jake Hiatt had Provo leading only 29-28 after three.

Scoring in the fourth was again sparse, until two free throws by Collinsworth, a put-back basket by Kyson Koop and a three-pointer from the corner by Law put Provo ahead 38-30 with under three minutes to play. But the Lions made things interesting late when Lovell hit a reverse lay-up, after which Hiatt stole the inbounds pass and scored to make it 38-34 with 36 seconds remaining. Another basket by Hiatt cut Provo’s lead to 38-36 with 18 seconds left. After both teams each made two more free throws, the Bulldogs sealed it when Law sank two clutch foul shots with only eight ticks on the clock to push the margin back to four.

Provo captain Scott Edwards, who injured his shoulder in a game last week, only played briefly Tuesday.

“We missed his leadership on the floor tonight and it was obvious,” Drury said.

Lovell led all scorers with 17. Collinsworth was Provo’s top man with 14.

WARREN FEENEY looks at the history of the Canterbury Arts Society and the School of Art. In 1912, when a painting tutor at the Canterbury College School of Art, Leonard Booth, was accused by The Triad magazine of belonging to the %26quot;little clique%26quot; that selected art works for the Canterbury Society of Arts (CSA) annual exhibitions, he took the periodical to court for libel. It was a move which revealed something of the collective authority of both institutions.

Since the establishment of the CSA and School of Art, in the early 1880s, they had dominated the arts in Canterbury. Praised and criticised for more than 90 years, this mutually beneficial association was responsible for the region%26#39;s reputation as possessing the leading school of painting in New Zealand. However, it was also a relationship that was perceived by some critics to be a %26quot;vicious circle%26quot; of influence.

In 1912, Booth received a public apology from The Triad. He was fortunate to do so. In the same year, the society%26#39;s purchases were for a work by Elizabeth Kelly, the wife of CSA councillor and art-school tutor, Cecil Kelly, and a painting by art-school graduate Charles Bickerton.

This relationship was unique in New Zealand and was established on the appointment of David Blair as art master of the School of Art in 1881. He was elected a working member of the CSA in December 1881, to its council on May 25, 1882, and in September, as secretary. It was recognised that this association between institutions would benefit the arts. The Lyttelton Times congratulated Blair on his %26quot;very auspicious reign%26quot;, noting that the CSA annual exhibition was already the better for his influence. Similarly, Blair%26#39;s annual report for the art school in 1884 observed that %26quot;in the list of working members of the Canterbury Society of Arts 24 out of 47 members have been or are connected with the School of Art%26quot;.

Blair remained on the council until 1887, lobbying for incentives for students, and proposing the establishment of silver medals. Recipients included Sydney Thompson, in 1898 and 1899, and Raymond McIntyre, in 1900.

By 1890, the infrastructures that would ensure the long-term success of this relationship were in place. They included an award system for student work, the opening of the CSA%26#39;s Armagh Street gallery in 1890, and the regular annual purchase of local artists%26#39; work. Blair%26#39;s successor, George Elliott consolidated this relationship through his advocacy of the arts and crafts movement. Elliott emphasised that the CSA%26#39;s support for the arts should be %26quot;enlarged, so as to include other branches of art work as well as pictures%26quot;.

By 1899, the society%26#39;s president, E. C. J. Stevens, was pleased to announce that %26quot;Among the new features were specimens of industrial art, porcelain and statuettes%26quot;.

Robert Herdman-Smith, who was head of the School of Art from 1905 to 1917 strengthened the arts and crafts movement in the society%26#39;s programme even further through the founding of an Arts and Crafts Guild, which included lectures and demonstrations on landscape, printing and caricature. By June 1906, it registered over 100 members. After the 1906 International Exhibition, the CSA%26#39;s annual shows included an even greater presence of arts and crafts work.

This collaborative support made tangible to both institutions the way in which they could best advance the arts. However, critical to its future was the appointment of painting tutors Archibald Nicoll, Cecil Kelly and Richard Wallwork. The School of Art became the foremost such institution in the country. Nicoll was head of the School of Art from 1920 to 1927, and at the end of his first year, the chairman of the board of governors of Canterbury College, H. D. Acland, singled him out for praise, %26quot;A proof of what was being done at the School of Art lay in the fact that pupils came to it from parts of New Zealand.%26quot;

Nicoll was voted onto the CSA council in December 1921, occupying a seat alongside Wallwork.

Nicoll encouraged students such as Rhona Haszard and Colin Lovell-Smith through his teaching and the CSA%26#39;s awards. Haszard attended the Art School from 1919 to 1925 and was recognised as a student of considerable potential. She exhibited at its shows from 1922 to 1931, being awarded the student prize in 1922. The support for graduates and teaching staff was also nurtured by the CSA%26#39;s acquisitions for its collection. The society%26#39;s purchases included Grace Butler%26#39;s, Evening Glow, in 1920; Nicoll%26#39;s, A Flemish Waterway, Wallwork%26#39;s The Marble Shrine, in 1923; and Russell Clark%26#39;s The Island Trader in 1930.

In praise of the art school, a review of the 1926 CSA exhibition for The Lyttelton Times by Professor in Education James Shelley said: %26quot;one might almost dare to speak now of a New Zealand School of Painting with its inner circle in Christchurch and its inspirational nucleus at the west end of Hereford Street%26quot;.

This dominance in the arts also included the influential in Christchurch society. In 1921 the opening of the CSA%26#39;s annual exhibition was reported in the Women%26#39;s Corner of The Press. Its importance grew throughout the %26#39;20s and gave public credibility to the School of Art and the CSA. In March 1924, The Press reported that %26quot;without doubt, the reception held last night at the art gallery eclipsed all former `private views%26#39; held by the society. Among the many beautiful dresses worn by the ladies present were several gracefully draped frocks of black %26ndash; some brightened with a vivid touch of colour. Mrs A. F. Nicoll, sea-green marocain, Mrs Richard Wallwork, draped gown of shot poie de satin with sleeves and under-dress of gold tissue%26quot;. In 1927, the CSA%26#39;s authority was highlighted when the Duke and Duchess of York visited. Wallwork and Kelly selected art works from its collection to decorate the royal couple%26#39;s rooms at Warners%26#39; Hotel.

More importantly, however, when the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, opened in 1932, the CSA%26#39;s representatives on the advisory committee included Wallwork and Nicoll. Both were to occupy central roles in advising the city council on appropriate works for the public collection for almost 20 years. It must be noted, however, that the support both institutions offered was also due to the absence of assistance from the city council. In 1947, the CSA recommended that the city council establish a budget to buy work for the public collection, noting that over the previous 15 years, apart from maintenance, only 311 had been spent on the gallery.

However, although such advocacy reflected its commitment to the arts, the dominating presence of the School of Art staff and the CSA council also led to complacency. The election of officers to the society%26#39;s council was little more than a shuffling of teaching staff between positions. When argument erupted over the CSA council%26#39;s decision not to acquire a modern work by Frances Hodgkins, The Pleasure Garden, in 1948, it exposed both institutions to serious criticism.

Until that year, this close association had been unchallenged and although the %26quot;Pleasure Garden Incident%26quot; provided a public platform for debate on the art school%26#39;s and CSA%26#39;s authority, the following generation of staff and CSA council members maintained a similar stronghold. In reality, the controversy was part of wider changes taking place in post-war society. Former student Vivien Lynn recalls that these developments inevitably impacted on the School of Art: %26quot;There was a sense that fusty 19th-century art ideals were on the way out.%26quot;

The CSA council acknowledged such influences and by the late 1950s offered its support for an emerging local modernism. In 1957 an exhibition by young New Zealand artists, dominated by School of Art students, included paintings by Patrick Hanly and Hamish Keith. This encouragement of young artists contrasted with the poor support from the Robert McDougall Art Gallery under its director, William Baverstock. Many perceived the public gallery to be an %26quot;art tomb%26quot;. In contrast, the staff from the School of Art worked with the CSA to enliven its programme.

Former head of the school, Professor John Simpson, recalls that the School of Art%26#39;s influence throughout the 1960s was tremendously beneficial: %26quot;The school had a much bigger input into the CSA. We did work very closely with the CSA and we were welcomed. (In contrast) the McDougall Gallery was a fossil.%26quot;

However, the CSA was an arts institution that had always exhibited work by both professional and amateur artists. By the early 1970s the administration and presentation of the arts in New Zealand assumed a greater level of specialisation and professionalism, and this conflicted with the more inclusive nature of the society%26#39;s vision for the arts.

In addition, the opening of a larger purpose-built CSA gallery in Gloucester Street in 1968 meant that the need to secure greater income for its growing exhibition programme, witnessed a further broadening of membership and a greater need to accommodate professional artists and hobbyists, side by side, within the society%
