The Sky Hempy Keyboard Series returns to the SCA with Portuguese pianist Alexandra Mascolo-David who will perform Brazilian waltzes during this informal, interactive keyboard concert.

She is in the forefront of presenting Mignone’s piano music, and her performances, especially of his “Valsas brasileiras” (Brazilian Waltzes), have been widely praised.
Mascolo-David also recently received a Research Excellence Grant from Central Michigan University in the amount of $95,000 to record Francisco Mignone’s Brazilian Fantasies for piano and orchestra with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra for the White Pine Music recording label.

Saugatuck Center For The Arts Real To Reel Series: Miss Representation

Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, Miss Representation (90 min; TV-14 DL) uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see.
Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself.
Stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists and academics, like Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem build momentum as Miss Representation accumulates startling facts and statistics that will leave the audience shaken and armed with a new perspective.
Tickets are available at the door.

Saugatuck Douglas Library Movie Night-"Breakfast At Tiffany's"
Date: Thursday, January 19, 2012
Start Time: 7:00 pm End Time: 9:00 pm
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
In the early morning, a taxi pulls up at Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue in New York City and Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) emerges. She eats a pastry and drinks coffee while standing outside the shop window, then strolls home. At her apartment building, she fends off her date from the disastrous night before, who has been waiting in his car all night. The next morning, she is awakened by new tenant Paul Varjak (George Peppard) ringing the doorbell. The pair chat as she dresses to leave for her weekly visit to Sally Tomato (Alan Reed), a mobster incarcerated at Sing Sing prison. She is paid to pass on coded messages for his drug ring but plays dumb regarding her visits.
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly.As she is leaving for Sing Sing, Holly is introduced to Paul's "decorator", wealthy older woman Emily Eustace Failenson (Patricia Neal), who Paul nicknames "2E". That night, Holly goes out onto the building's fire escape to elude an overly eager date. She peeks into Paul's apartment and sees 2E leaving money and kissing Paul goodbye. After 2E leaves, Holly enters Paul's apartment and learns that he is a writer who has not had anything published in five years since writing a book of vignettes titled Nine Lives. Holly, in turn, explains that she is trying to save money in order to support her brother, Fred, when he gets out of the Army. The pair fall asleep, but are awoken when Holly has a nightmare about Fred and leaves the apartment. She later buys Paul a new typewriter ribbon to apologise and invites him to a party at her apartment. At the party, Paul meets her Hollywood agent, O.J. Berman (Martin Balsam), who describes Holly's transformation from country girl into Manhattan socialite. He is also introduced to José da Silva Pereira (José Luis de Vilallonga), a rich Brazilian, and Rusty Trawler (Stanley Adams), a rich American.
In the days that follow, Paul and Holly become closer. One day, 2E enters Paul's apartment, worried that she is being followed. Paul tells her that he will investigate and eventually confronts the man, who introduces himself as "Doc" Golightly (Buddy Ebsen), Holly's husband. Doc explains that Holly's real name is Lula Mae Barnes, whom he married when she was 14, and that he would like to take her back to Texas. After Paul reunites Holly and Doc, she tells Paul the marriage was annulled and asks him to accompany her and Doc to the bus station. There, she tells Doc she is not returning. He tells her that if she does not return, he will not support Fred on his imminent return from the Army. She still refuses, and tells him she plans for Fred to live with her in New York. Doc leaves brokenhearted.
After drinking at a club, Paul and Holly return to her apartment, where she drunkenly tells him that she plans to marry Rusty Trawler for his money. A few days later, Paul learns that one of his short stories has been accepted for publication. On the way to tell Holly, he sees the newspaper at her door, its headline stating that Trawler has married someone else. Holly and Paul agree to spend the day together, taking turns doing things that each has never done before. At Tiffany's, Paul has the ring from Doc Golightly's box of Cracker Jack engraved as a present for Holly. After spending the night together, he awakens to find that she has returned to her apartment. Soon afterwards, Paul ends his relationship with 2E.
Holly schemes to marry José for his money, which angers Paul who has firmly decided on his love for her. After Holly and José return to her apartment to find a telegram notifying her of Fred's death, she trashes her apartment in grief, her behavior disturbing José. Months later, Paul has moved out of the building. He is invited to dinner by Holly, who is leaving the next morning for Brazil. However, they are soon arrested by police in connection with Sally's drug ring and taken to the 19th precinct. Yunioshi re-introduced the unmentioned theme from the Capote novel and insinuated that they are smoking narcotics when they were arrested. Holly spends the night in lock-up.
The next morning, Holly is released on bail with help from O.J. and finds Paul waiting in a taxi for her outside. He has her cat and a letter from José explaining he must end their relationship due to her arrest. Holly insists she will go to Brazil anyway and releases the cat from the taxi into the rain. Paul confronts Holly about her behavior and leaves the cab, tossing the ring he had engraved for her into her lap and telling her to examine her life. She quickly runs after him and together they find the cat, look into each other's eyes and embrace

Curated by Ken Carls & Jim Schmiechen
OPENING RECEPTION Saturday January 14, 2012, 6-8 pm
This stunning exhibit showcases people and local life in Saugatuck and Douglas as captured by notable Time-Life reporter and photographer Bill Simmons throughout 1941-1960.
When he died in 1966, photographer Bill Simmons left nearly 3,000 photographs documenting life in Saugatuck and Douglas from 1940 to 1961— filed away in envelopes, numbered, named, and placed in two wood boxes, some with date and identifying information.
Making up what must be one of the largest “photo shoots” of any mid-century American town, the collection disappeared until it was acquired by the Saugatuck-Douglas Historical Society in 1998.
This exhibition presents photographs from that collection—some of which are being shown for the first time.
Presented in partnership with the Saugatuck – Douglas Historical Society; free admission.

Saugatuck Center For The Arts Presents "Everyday People"
Date: Saturday, January 14, 2012
Start Time: 8:00 pm
Location: Saugatuck Center For The Arts
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
$10
Back by popular demand, “everydayPeople” will be shown at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts on January 14, 2012!
Directed by Jeff and Steve Croley and produced by Bridget McCormack, “everydayPeople” is a unique documentary focusing on the small West Michigan villages of Saugatuck and Douglas (nestled next to each other along the Kalamazoo River with populations of 1,000), both of which have a substantial population of gay and lesbian residents. The film attempts to document the spirit of the communities while also exploring both how and why gays and straights get along so well here.
The film premiered at the SCA in September to a sold-out audience, and we are thrilled to offer a second opportunity for our community to view this intriguing film.
Guests are encouraged to buy their tickets early as they are going quickly and limited seating is available.
More about everydayPeople:
As newcomers to the community (Croley and McCormack have a second home in Douglas; their primary residence is Ann Arbor, Michigan), Croley and McCormack were struck by the seemingly unusual social integration of gays and straights. People in Saugatuck and Douglas don’t merely tolerate one another, rather the two groups are closely integrated—politically, economically, socially, religiously, among other ways. Interestingly, residents of the area are not identified firstly in sexual-identity terms, though a person’s sexual identity is generally no secret either.
Deep friendships, mixed with growing curiosity about this social integration (particularly at a time of the heated “culture wars” in which sexual-identity politics are an important and destructive force) led to the creation of this documentary about Saugatuck and Douglas. The film attempts to document the spirit of the communities while also exploring both how and why gays and straights get along so well here. Intriguingly, the integration is not recent. The film looks at historical influences and explores various possible explanations—including the influence of art and the nearby art academy, economic incentives, the advantages of small town size, and the consequence of a resort mentality, as well as other sociological factors. It does so in part by asking residents—from farmers to mayors—how they themselves account for longstanding gay-straight integration in these small, mainly rural communities.
Premier Sponsors for “everydayPeople” include Everyday People Café- Matt Balmer, Mark Davis, Jim Sellman-Shoreline Realtors, Restaurant Toulouse / Chequers, and Herman Miller.

Saugatuck Red Barn Theatre Movie Night "This Is The Army"
Date: Tuesday, January 10, 2012
Start Time: 7:00 pm
Location: Red Barn Theatre
Category: Saugatuck & Douglas Events
Get More Details:
The Red Barn Theater’s film series continues Jan. 10 with "This Is the Army," a big-cast musical dreamed up by Irving Berlin to boost morale during World War II.

Saugatuck/ Douglas Library Movie Night-"Sabrina"

Sabrina Fairchild (Hepburn) is the young daughter of the Larrabee family's chauffeur, Thomas (John Williams), and has been in love with David Larrabee (Holden) all her life. David is an oft-married, idle playboy, crazy for women, who has never noticed Sabrina, much to her and the staff's dismay. Sabrina then attends culinary school in Paris and returns as an attractive and sophisticated woman.
Hepburn sings "La vie en rose" (French for "Life in Pink" a reference to seeing the world through rose-colored glasses), the signature song of French singer Édith Piaf — which had been highly popular in the English-speaking world as well as in France, since Piaf came out with it in 1946. The occasion for Hepburn to sing it is at the episode of Sabrina's return from Paris, when she is far more assertive than before setting out, and her life does turn rosier.
David, after initially not recognizing her, is quickly drawn to her. David's workaholic older brother Linus (Bogart) sees this and fears that David's imminent wedding with a very rich woman may be endangered. If the wedding were to be canceled, so would a great corporate deal with the bride's family. So Linus tries to redirect Sabrina's affections, and in the process falls in love with her.
At the end Sabrina sets off for Paris on a boat, after Linus has told her to leave and never come back. In a board meeting, realizing his mistake, he manages to get on the boat, and the couple sails away together to Paris.

Fenn Valley Vineyards Presents 13Th Annual Chili Cookoff
Date: Saturday, January 21, 2012
Start Time: 1:00 pm
Location: Fenn Valley Vineyards
Category: West Michigan Coastal Surrounding Areas
Get More Details:
Annual Chili Cook-off and Wine Lover's Potluck
The categories will be the same as they were last year:
Four Legs (beef and pork)
Two Legs (Fowl)
Vegetarian (non-meat)
Exotic (Seafood or wild game, including venison).
Our judges, who will again be coming from the Secchia Center for Culinary Education at Grand Rapids Community College, are getting excited about trying YOUR entry.
Registration for the chili contestants will begin on December 1. ALL competing chilies must be pre-registered. On the day of the event, we require all competing chilies to be at the winery between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM. Judging starts at 2:00 sharp and will be concluded by 3:00 PM.
Our “winelover’s potluck” begins at 2:00 PM. Non-participants may bring an appetizer to share or a chili. In fact, in an effort to provide enough chili for all visitors, anyone who brings a chili (whether it is to be judged or not) will receive free admission for up to two people per 4-quart pot of chili. The entry fee for all others will be $2.00 pp.
Longtime musical friends of Fenn Valley, The Trace, will be entertaining all of us during the afternoon. They play classic "popular" music and you may have heard their music at previous winery events, such as Wine Fest or our Summer Evening Cook-Outs.
In addition to music, chili, and a potluck, we will be pouring wine by the glass. We will be featuring some of the new wines from the past vintage and encourage all of you to enjoy a glass of wine with your chili.
The schedule of activities for the day follows:
1:00-2:00- Registration of chilies
3:00- Winner announced
2:00-4:30- Wine Lover’s Potluck
2:00-4:30- The Trace plays
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chili Cook Off Rules:
All chilies MUST pre-register. Call (269) 561-2396. Registrations accepted Dec 1.
Categorization of chili is determined as follows:
Beef or pork will be placed in the “Four legged” category.
Chicken, turkey, or duck will be placed in the “Two legged” category.
Seafood or wild game (includes venison) will be placed in the “Exotic” category.
Vegetarian chili contains NO meat.
There are no cooking facilities available, so entries must be received in a ready-to-judge form. (We recommend a crock pot).
All chilies must arrive between 1-2 pm in a crock pot as warm as possible. Any chili arriving after 2 pm will not be judged and will be added to the pot luck.
One entry per person.
There are a maximum of 30 entries per category.
There will be a prep area for last minute additions to the chili if necessary. Once we check-in the chili, you will have no further contact with the bulk container of chili.
There will be 3 judges per category. Each judge will use a 14-point scale and all chilies are judged blind. Criteria that will be evaluated include: Color, Aroma, Texture, Heat/Spice, Flavor, and Overall enjoyment.
A three-member panel will evaluate each category, and the highest scoring chili from each category will be re-evaluated by all nine judges for the position of grand champion.
Any ingredient you feel will enhance the flavor of the chili is allowed. Beans, macaroni, rice and other similar ingredients are encouraged.
