Nationally
recognized primitive artist Bernadine Corrine Puffenberger
Stetzel (1927-2016) was known
as the memory artist. This was due to
the series of paintings she began creating of her beloved hometown of Tiffin,
Ohio. These paintings recalled her
childhood days growing up in Tiffin during the 1930's and 40's. Her work was known for its pure bright vivid
colors. Her paintings represented a
charm and innocence of days past. She
was awarded countless awards and honors for her artwork, including a second
place award for her print “JFK Ticker Tape Parade” at the Toledo Museum of Art
Area Artists Exhibition. Bernadine was a
Renaissance woman. She was an avid
quilter, seamstress, cook and baker. She
crocheted and even did carpentry work.
She had a great love for history and antiques. Over several decades Bernadine wrote and
illustrated more than twenty children's books.
At age 85 she became a first time published author and illustrator when
four of her children's books were published. A documentary of her life
titled, Memory Painting the Art of Bernadine Stetzel was produced by Bowling
Green State University and the Ohio Arts Council. It was broadcast throughout the state of Ohio
on PBS television stations. Bernadine
created a series of 71 paintings dealing with the life of President John F.
Kennedy. In 2011, she donated the entire
series to the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. In 2012 an exhibition featuring paintings
from the series was held at the Sixth Floor Museum. Bernadine co-authored with
her daughter Elizabeth, a book titled, Remembering JFK. The book was published in 2014 and features
all 71 of the paintings from Bernadine's JFK series. In 2015 Bernadine was awarded the Silver
Seneca Science, Art and Athletic Achievement Award and inducted into the Tiffin
Calvert High School Hall of Fame. https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/toledoblade/obituary.aspx?n=bernadine-corrine-stetzel&pid=181007740&fhid=8056 See many paintings by Bernadine Stetzel at https://www.toledoblade.com/gallery/Paintings-by-Bernadine-Stetzel
Leave no stone
unturned. Euripides Greek tragic
dramatist (484 BC-406 BC) Heraclidae,

In 1952 Ogden Nash
published “The Private Dining Room and Other New Verses” which included a poem
titled “Everybody’s Mind To Me a Kingdom Is or A Great Big Wonderful World
It’s”. The following lines exhibited the
wordplay. This I shall do because I am a
conscientious man, when I throw rocks at sea birds I leave no tern
unstoned . . . I am a meticulous man, and
when I portray baboons I leave no stern untoned . . . https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/12/04/untoned/#more-17430
The union of Robert Graves
and the town of Deià, a privileged spot in the Tramuntana mountain range,
dotted with green cliffs erecting over the Mediterranean, is so intimate and
profound that both the writer and the Majorcan town have had similar fates on
the global stage. Born in Wimbledon
(1895), the famous English poet, writer and novelist had an intense
life marked by love and war. Sent to
France to serve in World War One, Graves became seriously injured to the point
he was believed dead. The experiences
lived during battle would mark his first collection of poems, Over the
Brazier (1916).
Breath-taking scenery
inspired the life and work of Robert Graves, and as advised by the writer
Gertrude Stein, “If you like paradise, Mallorca is paradise”. With more than 240 books on
mythology and poetry, historical novels, biographies and children’s stories,
Graves left behind a unique artistic legacy.

Thieves stole a painting
by Dutch master Vincent van Gogh early Marrch 30, 2020 from the Netherlands’
Singer Laren Museum, which is currently closed to the public because of the
coronavirus. The painting “Lentetuin”, or “Spring Garden,” which dates back to 1884
and depicts the garden of the rectory at Nuenen, had been on loan from the
Groninger Museum. In a statement, police
said the thieves had entered the museum by breaking its glass doors at around
3.15 a.m. (0115 GMT). “The culprits were
gone by the time police responded to the alarm,” the statement said. Investigators are searching for
security footage and witnesses, and are examining forensic evidence, it added. Dutch museums have been
closed because of the coronavirus outbreak since March 12, 2020. Hilde Verweij

The beloved children's author
and illustrator Tomie dePaola, whose imaginative and warm-hearted work crossed
generations and continents, died March 30, 2020 at age 85. DePaola's work stretched over many realms of
his imagination, from a magical faux-folk tale centered on a kindly and crafty
Calabrian grandmother—Strega Nona, which
won the Caldecott Honor Award in 1976—to retelling the inspiring Comanche story
of The Legend of the Bluebonnet. In 2000, he won a Newbery Honor for his
book 26 Fairmount Avenue,
which was one of his more autobiographical projects that recounted his early
childhood. By dePaola's own count, he worked
on some 270 books, as the author, illustrator or both—the first in 1965, and
the most recent published in 2019. In
2011, he won a lifetime prize, the Children's Literature Legacy Award (which,
until 2018, was called the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award), which hailed his
"substantial and lasting contribution to literature for
children." In all, nearly 25
million copies of his books have been sold around the world. Anastasia Tsioulcas https://www.npr.org/2020/03/30/824244076/tomie-depaola-beloved-childrens-author-and-illustrator-has-died
March 30, 2020 The outcry from publisher and author groups
has been swift and furious after the Internet Archive announced last week the
launch of its National Emergency Library,
which has removed access restrictions for some 1.4 million scans of mostly 20th
century books in the IA's Open Library initiative, making the scans available
for unlimited borrowing during the Covid-19 Outbreak. “We are stunned by the Internet Archive’s
aggressive, unlawful, and opportunistic attack on the rights of authors and
publishers in the midst of the novel coronavirus pandemic," reads a March 27 statement from
Association of American Publishers president and CEO Maria Pallante, adding
that publishers are already "working tirelessly to support the
public with numerous, innovative, and socially-aware programs
that address every side of the crisis:
providing free global access to research and medical journals that
pertain to the virus; complementary digital education materials to schools and
parents; and expanding powerful storytelling platforms for readers of all
ages." Andrew Albanese https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/digital/copyright/article/82861-authors-guild-aap-outraged-by-ia-s-national-emergency-library.html
Copper is
a trace mineral which you need to consume in small amounts to stay
healthy. Your body uses it for forming
red blood cells and keeping your bones, nerves, blood vessels and immune system
healthy. Each ounce of 70 percent dark
chocolate provides you with 0.5 milligrams of copper, which is 25 percent of
the daily value of 2 milligrams for people following a 2,000-calorie diet. Iron is another essential mineral. It helps form red blood cells and plays a
role in immune function, metabolism, brain development and temperature
regulation. Without sufficient iron,
your body can't transport oxygen throughout your body to where it is
needed. Eating an ounce of dark
chocolate provides you with 3.4 milligrams of iron, which is 19 percent of the
DV of 18 milligrams. Dark chocolate is also a source of zinc, with each
ounce providing 0.9 milligrams, or 6 percent of the DV of 15 milligrams. Zinc is needed for forming DNA and proteins,
immune function, healing wounds, cell division and a proper sense of taste and
smell. Your body doesn't store zinc, so
you need to consume a small amount each day.

After you wash your hands,
do not dry them completely. While they
are still damp, apply a little bit of hand lotion. This will prevent them from getting dry,
chapped, or cracking. Your hands may
remain a bit wet or sticky with the lotion.
If so, wave your hands in the air for a minute to safely air dry them. 2. For
some relevant reading material, try Boccacio’s Decameron, where noble Italians
share stories while waiting out the plague.
Also, Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year. Both are available for free download at
Project Gutenberg at gutenberg.org Thank
you, Muse reader!
