The Longevity Series with Jim Lobely is a six month lecture series where we will explore the concept of deep health, a holistic approach to well-being that encompasses the five pillars of longevity: movement, nutrition, cognition, connection, and sleep. We'll delve into the science of aging and look at strategies for building a practice that optimizes our chances of living healthier for longer. All classes will be virtual with the option to view on the screen at the Chilmark Library.All talks begin at 4:00 PM.
Smart Body – Healthy Brain: Movement for brain health (Dec 6th) Moving is one of the best things we can do for our brains. This lecture focuses on 4 important areas of cognition – executive function, attention, memory, and processing speed – and how each of these can be strengthened through specific types of movement. I’ll explain the science, show you how to maximize the brain health benefits of your current workout, and discuss other practices that have been shown to contribute to cognitive longevity.
Eating for Longevity (Jan 3rd) In this session we explore the vital connection between metabolic health and longevity. Discover the recommendations of leading scientists and nutritionists on eating for longevity, with a special focus on the renowned Mediterranean diet. We'll dive into practical examples of what a longevity-focused meal looks like, discuss supplements that boost our "longevity genes," and explore the potential benefits of intermittent fasting.
Stress, Sleep, and Recovery (Feb 7th) We know that sleep is essential for so many aspects of our long-term health, and yet it seems the least tractable of the longevity practices. In this session, we’ll unravel the intricate relationship between stress, sleep, and recovery, and how they impact our well-being. We’ll talk about how stress can disrupt your sleep patterns and hinder your body's ability to recover effectively, and discuss practical strategies to manage stress levels, improve sleep quality, and optimize the recovery process.
Jim Lobley is a certified personal trainer and longevity coach in private practice in Northampton, and the founder/director of The Long Game, an online learning and training platform for longevity. He is also a Certified Brain Health Trainer through the Functional Aging Institute, and has an MA in Dance/Movement Therapy from NYU.

“If you’re not amazed, you’re not paying attention.”
-Rick Hanson Ph. D.
I’m in a constant state of amazement at the world around me: Nature’s beauty,
saturated color, wind, water, and movement in general, all inspire me to create.
I choose to paint abstract because I love the way it suggests, and implies something, but
does not state it definitively. Trying to suggest, without “over-telling”, both challenges
and engages me as an artist. I also love the possibility, openness and freedom it allows
both me, and my viewers to interpret my paintings.
In the studio, I work intuitively, focusing on the joyful, passionate and celebratory
aspects of color. Using my breath and large motions, I focus on letting go, being present,
and infusing the work with spontaneity. As I experiment, I allow the paint, gravity and
chance to do most of the work. This combination of body, breath, movement, and
music, helps me reach a state of total immersion in the creative process. It’s a gift to
take a break from the constant chatter of my “monkey mind”, (as some mediation
teachers refer to our busy minds). I’m “blessed” by a combination of a highly active,
creative mind, endless creativity, and unending restlessness. When I don’t create, I
implode, or explode. Creating, is my mediation, and my constant healing.
Art and dance have given me the gift of being able to be present with myself, in the
moment. I know I am not alone in finding art as my salvation. I share my work in order
to inspire viewers to feel more alive, engaged and awe struck by the beauty of life as
they view my work…so that we can celebrate the joyfulness and color of life together.

The story of tea has always been infused with intrigue, particularly when it became a flash point for tensions between England and Colonial America.
On the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773), learn about the brewing political problems tea presented in its history with Anglophile and former UK resident Claire Evans. Then, author, genealogist, librarian, and former UK resident Debra Dudek examines the history of the Boston Tea Party’s most famous partiers (and phonies), as well as how to trace bona fide participants through lineage societies and historical groups.
Claire Evans is an author, former journalist, attorney, and college lecturer who started her love of most things British as she and her mother watched countless Britcoms on PBS. She studied abroad in London and, against the odds, she married a Brit she met in Peoria, Illinois. They lived in England for a number of years. Her business, 'Tea with Claire', grew from friends asking for travel advice. Her memoir, High Tea and the Low Down, is the true story of what it's really like to marry a witty Englishman and move to Britain.
Debra M. Dudek is Head of Adult and Teen Services at the Fountaindale Public Library District in Bolingbrook, IL. She holds a post graduate certificate in Genealogical, Palaeographic & Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.

Eating for Longevity (Jan 3rd) In this session we explore the vital connection between metabolic health and longevity. Discover the recommendations of leading scientists and nutritionists on eating for longevity, with a special focus on the renowned Mediterranean diet. We'll dive into practical examples of what a longevity-focused meal looks like, discuss supplements that boost our "longevity genes," and explore the potential benefits of intermittent fasting.
Stress, Sleep, and Recovery (Feb 7th) We know that sleep is essential for so many aspects of our long-term health, and yet it seems the least tractable of the longevity practices. In this session, we’ll unravel the intricate relationship between stress, sleep, and recovery, and how they impact our well-being. We’ll talk about how stress can disrupt your sleep patterns and hinder your body's ability to recover effectively, and discuss practical strategies to manage stress levels, improve sleep quality, and optimize the recovery process.

Please join us for a virtual library collaboration to ring in the New Year and tackle one of the top resolutions - organize and declutter!
Certified KonMari Consultant, Kerry Adams, will lead us through a presentation on what the KonMari Method is and how to successfully implement the method into your life. Grab a notebook and join us from the comfort of your own home.
The KonMari Method of organizing was developed by Marie Kondo, world acclaimed Japanese organizer and author of the best selling books, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”, and “Spark Joy”, as well as star of the Netflix series, “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo”. Rather than discarding things in a negative way, it’s about keeping the things that you love, the things that support your vision for the lifestyle you want. You’ll learn to focus your intention, discover what supports your goals, and respectfully leave behind the things that don’t. It’s simple and life-changing. KonMari teaches that if you properly simplify and organize your home you’ll never have to do it again. Tidying is a special event, not a daily chore, leaving you the time and space to do more of what you love.
Kerry Adams was an early adapter of the KonMari Method of decluttering and simplifying by Marie Kondo. She attended the first instructional program offered in August 2016 and in 2017 became one of the first Certified KonMari Consultants in the world and the first in Massachusetts. She has been guiding clients on their personal journeys to transform their homes from a place of chaos and clutter to one of calm simplicity, lower volume serenity and efficiency through her business The Spark Joy Lifestyle (www.thesparkjoylifestyle.com). Kerry brings a unique perspective to her work as a KonMari consultant based on four decades in the art and design world, hence the tagline, “The Art of an Organized Life”.
This event is made possible in partnership with Centerville Public Library, Chilmark Free Library, Yarmouth Port Library, Vineyard Haven Public Library, Falmouth Public Library, and Provincetown Public Library

The KonMari Method of organizing was developed by Marie Kondo, world acclaimed Japanese organizer and author of the best selling books, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”, and “Spark Joy”, as well as star of the Netflix series, “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo”. Rather than discarding things in a negative way, it’s about keeping the things that you love, the things that support your vision for the lifestyle you want. You’ll learn to focus your intention, discover what supports your goals, and respectfully leave behind the things that don’t. It’s simple and life-changing. KonMari teaches that if you properly simplify and organize your home you’ll never have to do it again. Tidying is a special event, not a daily chore, leaving you the time and space to do more of what you love.
Kerry Adams was an early adapter of the KonMari Method of decluttering and simplifying by Marie Kondo. She attended the first instructional program offered in August 2016 and in 2017 became one of the first Certified KonMari Consultants in the world and the first in Massachusetts. She has been guiding clients on their personal journeys to transform their homes from a place of chaos and clutter to one of calm simplicity, lower volume serenity and efficiency through her business The Spark Joy Lifestyle (www.thesparkjoylifestyle.com). Kerry brings a unique perspective to her work as a KonMari consultant based on four decades in the art and design world, hence the tagline, “The Art of an Organized Life”.
This event is made possible in partnership with Centerville Public Library, Chilmark Free Library, Yarmouth Port Library, Vineyard Haven Public Library, Falmouth Public Library, and Provincetown Public Library

January 2021, ten months into the global pandemic, Sherry Sidoti’s mother is diagnosed with
terminal cancer, so Sherry prioritizes a trip to Manhattan over long-awaited empty-nesting and her
“second chance” with fiancé Jevon. With new life blooming and loss looming, she is beckoned to
answer the question that has haunted her since childhood: is freedom found in “letting go,” as the
spiritual teachers (and her mother) insist or is it found by digging our heels deeper into the earth
and holding on to our humanness?
A Smoke and a Song is Sherry’s story of her quest to make meaning from the memories homed in
her body. Told with tenacity, tenderness, and wry New York City humor, Sherry stumbles towards
self-actualization, spiritual awakening and, despite it all, love. This is a story steeped in art and
spirituality that explores the complexities of womanhood, transgenerational maternal bonds,
attachment, loss, and leaning-in to our wounds to find the wisdom.
Both in person and via Zoom (contact amcdonough@clamsnet.org for Zoom link)

The Longevity Series with Jim Lobely is a six month lecture series where we will explore the concept of deep health, a holistic approach to well-being that encompasses the five pillars of longevity: movement, nutrition, cognition, connection, and sleep. We'll delve into the science of aging and look at strategies for building a practice that optimizes our chances of living healthier for longer. All classes will be virtual with the option to view on the screen at the Chilmark Library.All talks begin at 4:00 PM.
Stress, Sleep, and Recovery (Feb 7th) We know that sleep is essential for so many aspects of our long-term health, and yet it seems the least tractable of the longevity practices. In this session, we’ll unravel the intricate relationship between stress, sleep, and recovery, and how they impact our well-being. We’ll talk about how stress can disrupt your sleep patterns and hinder your body's ability to recover effectively, and discuss practical strategies to manage stress levels, improve sleep quality, and optimize the recovery process.
Jim Lobley is a certified personal trainer and longevity coach in private practice in Northampton, and the founder/director of The Long Game, an online learning and training platform for longevity. He is also a Certified Brain Health Trainer through the Functional Aging Institute, and has an MA in Dance/Movement Therapy from NYU.

This is the first civil rights trial in American history.
The issue of slavery versus freedom rears its ugly head in this
American court case, more than two decades before the Civil
War explodes in 1861.
This case pits the American government against the Spanish
government, the President against his own Secretary of State,
the executive branch versus the judicial branch, and abolitionists
against slave traders. It even prompted a former President to
appear before the Supreme Court to condemn the policies of a
present Administration.
This case finally received the recognition it deserved from
Stephen Spielberg’s 1997 Academy Award-nominated feature
film, Amistad.
The Honorable Dennis J. Curran was an associate justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court,
appointed to the seat by former governor Mitt Romney in 2006. He has taught the practice of
Political Science and Law at Tufts University and Roger Williams University of Law. He was
born and raised in Boston.

from the earliest Greeks to contemporary. The poem(s) is read and discussed as a community, which always adds new
dimensions to understanding. The MV Poetry Reading Group has been meeting for over 10 years and wants to stress how much more
we get out of the poems when shared and discussed. No qualifications, except a love of poetry. This month, Bonnie Smolen will
present.

Our theme for this memoir writing session will be writing about the changes,
big and small, desired or not, that we have experienced, or are going through
right now in our lives. As we leave winter behind and enter the most welcome
season of spring, it is an excellent time to contemplate and then write about
the shifts that are perhaps key turning points in our lives.
