October Photography Exhibit by Jack Ahearn at The Library

Amherst Town Library

AMHERST – Jack Ahearn’s Im-ages presented by the Friends of the Library include early photo-graphs dating from his initial inter-est in photography as a fine artist, and extend to photographs made this year in the White Mountains. Photographs taken in Amherst, but other areas of New England, Virgin-ia, Colorado, Newfoundland, and Death Valley will also be shown.

The public is invited to meet with Jack at his reception, to be held on Sunday, October 10th from 2 to 4 pm at the Amherst library. Jack’s earliest recollection of a sustained interest in photography dates from his college experiences where he had opportunities to take several workshops with master photogra-phers. After college and graduate school in physics, he pursued a ca-reer in scientific research, making photographs on occasion over the years. In the last eight years he has devoted a substantial and focused effort to create fine art photographs. He has pursued additional train-ing in photography with leading photographers at the Maine Pho-

tographic Workshops and the New Hampshire Institute of Art. Recent recognition of his work has come through the Sharon Art Gallery ju-ried exhibitions, the Golden Light Awards competition and inclusion in The Gallery at Hallmark’s jur-ied art show. Jack uses landscapes and still lifes as the basis for his im-ages and crafts each print so that the final image creates a rewarding and pleasurable experience for the viewer. He works primarily with a 4x5 view camera, recording the im-age on film and developing individ-ual negatives in a wet darkroom. He has produced silver prints in a tradi-tional wet darkroom for many years and, in addition, he now uses digi-tal techniques to craft the images recorded on film and prints them using an inkjet process. The silver and inkjet print processes each of-fer their own individual expressive possibilities.

SHS Student Gives Back with “SacAttack”

AMHERST – A Souhegan High School junior, John Cicci, decided he wanted to do something for fi-nancially disadvantaged elementary and middle school students in Hill-sborough County. With the launch of “SacAttack,” Cicci set a goal of purchasing fifty fully supplied back-packs by the end of the summer. Go-ing door to door, calling on neigh-bors and local businesses to raise the money in order to put together fully supplied backpacks, Cicci ex-ceeded his goal by acquiring sixty-two backpacks to give to area stu-dents.

The Amherst area public donated over $2000 worth of school materi-als. The backpacks included many items necessary for a student to be

prepared for the school year. Items such as pencils, pens, markers, cray-ons, pencil sharpeners, erasers, notebooks, scissors, binders/folders, glue, rulers, and construction paper filled the backpacks.

John Cicci is an active and com-mitted public servant having earned about 38 hours of community ser-vice from this fundraiser. Add this to his already logged 306 hours, Cic-ci has far exceeded expectations. He continues to give back to the com-munity frequently, and he remains a responsible citizen in the town of Amherst.

All of the backpacks and extra supplies were donated to the Boys and Girls Club of Souhegan Valley in Milford, NH in order to be dis-

John Cicci with many backpacks and school supply donations he’s received.
