Eric J. Clouthier, 2009 ASSE Region VIII SPY

But not the 007 kind, though this local hero has done a lot to make his world a safer place. Eric J. Clouthier ’00 recently received the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) Region VIII Safety Professional of the Year (SPY) Award for his ongoing contributions to his chapter and the Society and his commitment to protecting people, property, and the environment. Region VIII represents ASSE chapters in Conn., Mass., Maine, N.H., N.J., N.Y., Penna., R.I., and Vt.

According to an article in Seacoastonline.com, Eric, who lives in North Hampton, N.H., “serves as a safety engineer at Harvey Building Products in Londonderry, where he manages safety, health, and environmental functions for all of Harvey’s 38 locations throughout New England, N.Y., Penna., and N.J. He is also a call firefighter/emergency medical technician (EMT) for the North Hampton Fire and Rescue Department, where he has served for 15 years.” He received a bachelor of science in safety studies with a minor in management here at KSC, where he first became a student member of ASSE.

Dr. Jack Marshall; 1992 photo taken by Dwain Hammett ’92 in the KSC sculpture studio (a.k.a. The Factory)

The KSC community was saddened to hear that  John (Jack) Marshall, professor emeritus of art, passed away on Tuesday, July 7th.

Dr. Marshall taught sculpture at KSC from 1973 until he retired in 2002. Many community members will recall walking by the sculpture studio – at all hours of the day – to see him working away on one of his projects. Or, more likely, they just heard him working; often, he had so many works in progress that he was hidden behind them.

Dr. Marshall had a BA in design from Massart, an MFA from Boston University, and a PhD from the Yale School of Architecture. His works have been shown in Massachusetts at Fuller Memorial Museum in Brockton, the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, the Baak Gallery in Cambridge,  and the Carl Siembab, Sunne Savage, and Ellie Reiglehaupt galleries on Newbury St. in Boston. His work has appeared in NYC at the Whitney Biennial, the Awards Exhibit of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the American Institute of Architecture, Leve House, the New School, the Allan Stone Gallery and in a solo show at Ward Nasse Gallery in Soho. He has had European shows in Milan, Pisa, Florence, Copenhagen, Geneva, and Zurich.

Look what’s coming to the Putnam Film Series in July:

Grease
July 3–9
1978, USA, directed by Randal Kleiser, 110 min, rated PG, 35mm print.
Grease is not just a nostalgic look at a simpler decade–it’s an energetic and exciting musical homage to the age of rock ‘n’ roll!

Revanche
July 10–16
2008, Austria, directed by Götz Spielmann, 121 minutes, rated R, 35mm print, in German and Russian with English subtitles.
At once a gripping thriller and a tragic drama of nearly Greek proportions, Revanche is the stunning, Oscar–nominated, international breakthrough film from Austrian filmmaker Götz Spielmann.

Hunger
July 17–23
2008, UK / Ireland, directed by Steve McQueen, 96 minutes, rated R, 35mm print.
Imprisoned in Northern Ireland, Bobby Sands leads a hunger strike to protest for special category status for republican prisoners.

The Seventh Seal
July 24–30
1957, Sweden, directed by Ingmar Bergman, 92 minutes, not rated, 35mm print.
Disillusioned and exhausted after a decade of battling in the Crusades, a knight (Max von Sydow) encounters Death on a desolate beach and challenges him to a fateful game of chess. The Seventh Seal (Det sjunde inseglet), was one of the benchmark foreign imports of America’s 1950s art-house heyday, pushing cinema’s boundaries and ushering in a new era of movie-going.
