Tufts women’s soccer eliminates Husson in NCAA Tournament

As a freshman at Tufts University in 2023, Emily Nicholas scored two goals as the Jumbos tied Husson University 2-2 in Bangor.

Nicholas converted a pass from the right wing by fellow All-NESCAC first team selection Waverly Sumner just 7:19 into the game. It was her seventh goal of the season.

NANCY OLNICK & GIORGIO SPANU with Jennifer Stockman & Joachim Pissarro | The Brooklyn Rail

Word count: 5210 Paragraphs: 58 Portraits of Nancy Olnick & Giorgio Spanu, pencil on paper by Phong H. Bui. Magazzino Italian Art, in Cold Spring, New York, is a museum and research center devoted to postwar and contemporary Italian art, above all Arte Povera. It grew out of the collection of Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu, who also collect Murano glass, Italian ceramics, artist-made jewelry, and Art Deco furniture, and who opened Magazzino in 2017 in the former Cyberchron factory and warehouse. In the conversation that follows, Stockman and Pissarro speak with Olnick and Spanu about how a visit to the Castello di Rivoli set them on the path to Arte Povera. They describe their relationships with designers Massimo and Lella Vignelli, and curator Germano Celant, as well as their work with the architects Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo. Finally they consider what is to be done to secure Magazzino’s future. Magazzino Italian Art, Cold Spring, NY. Courtesy MQ Architecture.

Original art, attainable prices

There’s a corner of YouTube populated by real-time footage of high-dollar art sales from prestigious New York and London auction houses like Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Phillips. Hundreds of thousands of viewers routinely watch with rapt attention, popcorn and cocktails in hand, as recognizable pieces from art history make their way to the upper echelons of grossly unattainable hammer prices. Pieces can often start with opening bids of tens of thousands of dollars and work their way up to multiple millions. Bidding increments alone can grow to sums unattainable for the average American family in several lifetimes. Kenise Barnes Fine Art in Kent, Connecticut, wants to help make fine art more accessible. The 2026 version of the gallery’s annual “Cool and Collected” exhibition is subtitled “The Gift Edit” and features dozens of works by fine artists at prices that are much more in reach than an art-world outsider might expect. More than 30 artists contributed pieces to the show.

Sharon Memory Tree to honor loved ones, aid responders

SHARON — Residents can honor loved ones while supporting local emergency responders through two holiday fundraisers: the Sharon Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary’s annual Memory Tree and the ambulance squad’s “Lights of Love” display on the town Green. The auxiliary is accepting $5 donations for ornaments bearing the names of family members, friends and loved ones. The Memory Tree will be displayed at Town Hall from Nov. 25 through Dec. 31. Tina Pitcher, an auxiliary member and Sharon’s town secretary, said she proposed the fundraiser in 2014 after Sharon Hospital stopped offering a memory tree. The auxiliary uses proceeds from the tree and other fundraisers, including bunco games, to help meet equipment needs at the fire department and ambulance squad, Pitcher said. The group has four or five members who also provide food and coffee to firefighters and other emergency responders at incident scenes.

Hoot Recommends: Hot Drinks

Welcome back to Hoot Recommends. We’re into November now, and the weather is starting to get colder. As it starts to get chillier outside, we’ve decided to share our favorite hot drinks to help you warm up. Liam: My favorite hot drink has to be hot chocolate. It’s such a late fall classic and you really can’t go wrong with it. Especially when it’s paired with a chocolate containing dessert like a cookie or a s’more, it’s just so good. Just like a little slice of heaven in your hands. Berenice: Though I do enjoy hot chocolate, I would generally opt for matcha latte, specifically without sweetener. I find that with sweetener it ends up tasting too sweet (especially if eating something sweet with it), and not having the sweetener also helps me enjoy the taste of the matcha more. James: I don’t like any hot drinks. Like at all. None of them. I don’t like the sensation of having hot liquid burning the roof of my mouth.

THEATER REVIEW: Bridge Street Theatre’s world-premiere production of ‘Darlin” runs through Nov. 15

Darlin’ Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill, N.Y. Written by Michelle Carter Directed by Katy Early “You are really important.” In this world-premiere production of Michelle Carter’s “Darlin’,” it is clear that some additional work needs to be done before a perfect performance is viable. There is much that is good in this show, but a few things are confusing and feel incomplete. At the center of the play is the relationship between a single mother and her daughter. The daughter is still only a very young teenager, with lots of room to grow. The actress in this role also plays her own grandmother, and this provides half of the confusion that reigns here. There is also a man in the play who does many things, including straightforward narration, which makes little sense as that is not his principal role in the play. It provokes the question: Who is he, and why is he saying these things, and to whom?

Jennifer Terzian’s sanctuary for contemporary art

The gallery is really meant to create a very intimate relationship with the artist and the story behind their work. —Jennifer TerzianOn a recent crisp, fall afternoon in Litchfield, Jennifer Terzian welcomed a steady stream of collectors, artists, and art-world insiders into her jewel box of an art space on South Street, just off the town’s manicured historic Green. The occasion was an opening for Jenny Kemp, an artist noted for balancing fluidity and structure in her abstractions through repetition, variation, and gradual shifts in hue. Hers is exactly the kind of tactile, process-driven work Terzian champions at a subterranean space that feels less like a commercial art gallery and more like stumbling into an impeccably edited sanctuary of contemporary thought. “I don’t really consider myself a traditional gallerist,” explained Terzian, a Southern California native who moved to Connecticut in 2008.

Brooklyn building collapse: A look at the borough’s history of structural failures

Brooklyn has seen building collapses in neighborhoods across the borough, from Williamsburg to Borough Park. Some have left residents injured or displaced, while others have killed construction workers and residents. The latest tragedy in Flatbush, where a three-story building crumbled on the afternoon of Nov. 11, killing eight people and injuring even more at the time of writing, has renewed questions about the safety of the borough’s aging building stock — and what happens when construction, demolition or inadequate structural maintenance puts that safety at risk. The collapse happened shortly after 4 p.m. at 1321 Flatbush Ave., near Bedford Avenue. The rear portion of the three-story building fell into an adjoining construction site, where excavation work had been underway. Emergency crews worked through the night searching the rubble, while the Department of Buildings began investigating what caused the structure to give way. The cause has not officially been determined.

Out of Bounds: Cray Wanderers, Carlos Alcaraz and the Gold Coast Suns

The Cray Wanderers win first-round bid to FA Cup in club history The Cray Wanderers, one of London’s oldest football clubs dating back to 1860, has qualified for the Football Association Challenge Cup for the first time in its 166-year history. On Oct. 20, the team made it to the fourth round of qualifiers, where the team ended its match against Bedford Town in a 0-0 tie. Three days later, the teams faced off again to determine who would make it to the first round of the FA Cup. The game went to extra time, where both teams scored, eventually forcing a penalty shootout. Wands goalkeeper JJ Briggs saved two goals in the shootout, leading to Bedford’s 4-3 defeat. The winning shot was made by forward Jakob Lowe, a recent addition to the Wands. Both fans and players recognize the significance of this win, as the club has failed to qualify for the cup since its establishment.
