The Island’s Brazilian community is putting on a show, a festa, and all are bem-vindo — which means welcome. There will be music, dancing, food and games on Sunday, June 16, at the Agricultural Hall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sounds like a great way to celebrate Father’s Day, as dad doesn’t need another tie, a gravata. (I have a little phrase book.) Feliz dia dos pais.
The annual concert, Remembering the Rosenthals, takes place at the library Saturday, June 15, at 4 p.m. The ensemble, Music Street, again brings a joyous hour of what director Diane Braun calls Soundscapes: Setting the Tone, with offerings from Stravinsky to France to a Brazilian mountaintop to a “hot sonata and one summer flower.”
The concert series was conceived and is sponsored by Dr. Sara Rosenthal and Dr. Julie Prazich, in memory of Sara’s musician parents, Ivan and Virginia Rosenthal, long-time summer residents of the town.
Here to help celebrate the concert are Julie’s sister and her family, Vickie and Buddy Miller of Bartlett, N.H., and Buster, Charlotte and Amadine Miller of Portsmouth, N.H.
The library and town hall will be closed Wednesday, June 19, to observe Juneteenth.
School is out for the summer as of noon, Tuesday, June 18. Yay!

A New Kind of Wilderness is a documentary from Norway, about a family seeking a free, adventurous life away from civilization. The modern world, however, gets in the way. It’s at the Grange on Friday, June 14, at 7:30 p.m.
The Grange hosts a documentary film, Luther: Never Too Much, about the R&B and soul singer Luther Vandross. Along with the movie, the program features the very talented young man Samuel Hines, who just graduated from the local high school and who will next attend the Harvard/Berklee program at Harvard. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 20.
We heard crashing Tuesday night coming up from the basement. In the morning, Tim investigated and found a small rabbit down there, quaking in the corner but up high, out of reach. We asked online for a rabbit rescue plan. Meanwhile, Tim prepared some carrots, gourmet sprouts, peanuts and fresh water for our little uninvited guest. The vegetables disappeared but the peanuts were thrown on the floor.
We were advised to buy a beagle, to borrow a have-a-heart trap or carry a big towel and just snatch him. One friend offered to come over and assist, but by Friday the thumping had stopped, the carrots were ignored and the house was quiet again. We hope he got out the same mysterious way he got in or we’ll find out in a few days, I suppose, if he met an untimely demise.
