TLH LOCAL It’s hard not to smile when first en- tering art teacher Margie Grussing’s classroom. An upside-down inflatable Spiderman carefully watches over drying paintings and the walls are col- laged with master artists and fun, en- couraging posters. Shelves lined with sculptures and paint jars also host char- acters from Star Wars, Despicable Me’s minions, and Spongebob Squarepants. “I like to think of my room as the idea room or the imagination room,” says Grussing, who connects with her students through pop culture. “I’ve found the more things I can put up to inspire them, the better.” Grussing is a work of art herself. For the past 13 years, she’s brought paintings to life in Astoria Park Ele- mentary’s yearbook photos, posing solemnly as the grandmother in Grant Wood’s American Gothic and splatter- ing paint on her face to be a part of a Jackson Pollack original. The biggest hit was her Vincent Van Gogh imper- sonation against a Starry Night back- drop with a bandage on her ear. Playfully spirited, Grussing moved to Tallahassee at age 11, and took up music and theater while doing hobby art projects on the side. She graduated with a degree in Art Education from Florida State, and was Sable Palm Ele- mentary’s Teacher of the Year in 2002. Grussing is thankful for mentors like fellow local art teacher Julie McBride for imparting valuable teach- ing strategies. Along with her acting bag of tricks, all techniques come in handy during her 45-minute art classes, six times a day, with approximately 570 students seen each week. “I’ll just start singing an instruction, and sometimes I’ll do a little accent,” laughs Grussing. “Of course they think I’m crazy as a loon but at the same time they listen. It gets their attention.” Grussing’s own elementary art teacher left a lasting impact on her by giving encouragement to enter school project fairs and the county fair in her hometown, Horseheads, New York. A love for fairy tales manifested in princess-story dioramas, like Cinderel- la and Sleeping Beauty. One year Grussing even attempted baking with art, constructing a fantasy castle out of cake and icing. Warm memories of her grandparents’ creativ- ity and praise helped her soldier on when she didn’t win a prize for the experimental piece. Her father, an evolving artist himself, was another major influence as his construction work exposed her to new resources. “I had always used paper, cardboard, and glue, but one year I did an Eiffel tower sculpture with twisted wire,” remembers Grussing. “He opened me up to some other materials that I had never considered to use in art before like wire, Plaster of Paris, and screen.” Nowadays, clay is her medium of choice, with lively animal characters as her subject matter. She’s an avid bird- watcher, owls being her favorite, and has volunteered with St. Francis Ani- mal Hospital. However, what really motivates Grussing to create is making art as gifts for others. Her latest pro- ject was a light-heartedly painted piece for her sock-monkey collecting friend. Her artistic process mirrors what she teaches, and begins with a clear vision and sketches. Grussing enjoys sharing clay techniques with students with each grade getting a chance make something once a year. It’s one of her students’ most anticipated projects, though many enjoy drawing characters inspired by video games, or even il- lustrating original fashion designs. Grussing channels their creativity through self-directed artistic expres- sions at the “Free Drawing Land” sta- tion, stocked with paper, supplies, art books, puzzles, and more. “That is where they get to go when they’re done with their work,” says Grussing. “It gives them that chance to draw something that they really like. I’m just trying to reach them any way I can.” By using a smorgasbord of different mediums, Grussing allows students to express themselves and flourish based on their learning styles. She ties math and language arts into her lessons when possible, her current project with younger students using “goodie trays” filled with buttons, ribbon, and beads to bring alive snowmen from the book “Snowmen at Night.” She sees value in merging with other disciplines while meeting state stan- dards, often collaborating with Astoria Park’s music teacher as well. Her teaching philosophy is to open her stu- dents up to worlds unknown and posi- tively touch their lives through art, getting them “jazzed” up about new viewpoints. “These kids really need art,” ex- plains Grussing. “They need it to dis- cover themselves, their peers, and other cultures. It’s just so exciting when they come in the room and they see something and it triggers memory or an idea.” COCA’s annual Winter Festival Youth Art Exhibition marks her favor- ite time of the year. The venue, lights, and music get Grussing into the holiday spirit for this cozy, family-friendly event. She is grateful to select and show two outstanding student works in the City Hall Art Gallery, with this season’s exhibition featuring her stu- dents’ unique, clay bugs. The event gives local art students from Kinder- garten to 12th grade a chance to proud- ly showcase their hard work, and al- lows the community, and their peers, to celebrate their creative accomplish- ments. “I feel like every child should be exposed to art and creating art,” says Grussing. “I think it’s good that the public sees how important it is for the arts to be out there and that children are creating and using their imagina- tions, too.

Or in the case of Roger Angell, writing it. Having delivered his memoir nearly a decade ago (”Let Me Fin- ish,” published in 2006), Angell combed through six decades’ worth of work to put together this collec- tion: “This Old Man: All in Pieces.” Much of it is reprinted from the pages of The New Yorker. Angell’s a true craftsman, carefully picking each word and phrase and, like any good editor, cutting out the fluff. The best entries are about base- ball, which he began cov- ering for The New Yorker in 1962. There are obits for Bob Feller, Earl Weaver and Don Zimmer, tributes to Jackie Robinson, Derek Jeter and Bob Gibson, and game recaps from recent World Series victories by the Red Sox and Giants. As Angell writes in the introduc- tion, “Readers are invited to … skip about, make a grab, turn back.” So first read the title piece nes- tled near the end if you haven’t al- ready. Angell wrote “This Old Man” last year and it deserves every acco- lade it’s received. Deeply personal and yet universal in its sentiment, it’s a marvel of the essay form. Interspersed throughout the book are non-traditional writings like haikus about one of his beloved fox terriers and The New Yorker’s annu- al Christmas letter (”Greetings, Friends!”), as well as correspon- dence between Angell and the fiction writers he collaborated with for the magazine — Ann Beattie, Robert Creamer and Tracy Daughtery, just to name a few. To Beattie, now one of the country’s most celebrated short story writers, he wrote in 1985: “I’m sorry — extremely sorry — to say that we’re sending back ‘Another Day.’ No one here could recognize these people; they don’t seem to have any connection with real life.” The “Past Masters” is another highlight. Angell offers literary criticism of “Lolita” as he remem- bers Vladimir Nabokov, pays tribute to the eternal writerly advice of his stepfather, E.B. White, in “The Ele- ments of Style” (”Revise and re- write,” ‘’Do not explain too much” and “Be clear”), and heaps praise on the illustrations of William Steig, whose cartoons distinguished The New Yorker from other magazines. What stitches together the col- lection is a sense of gratitude. Angell knows he’s lived a full life enriched by family, friends and colleagues. He doesn’t know when his life will end, but came to terms with that long ago. (From “This Old Man”: “There’s never anything new about death, to be sure, except its im- proved publicity.”) It feels like he assembled this collection in great part to say thank you. But it’s his readers who should be saying it. For as long as we have him and as long as he’s still contributing to The Sporting Scene and other fixtures of The New Yorker, we should appreci- ate his talent.

“This Old Man: All in Pieces”(Doubleday), by Roger Angell
You don’t make it to age 95 with-out seeing a lot of stuff. Or in thecase of Roger Angell, writing it.
Having delivered his memoirnearly a decade ago (”Let Me Fin-ish,” published in 2006), Angellcombed through six decades’ worthof work to put together this collec-tion: “This Old Man: All in Pieces.”
Much of it is reprinted from thepages of The New Yorker. Angell’s atrue craftsman, carefully pickingeach word and phrase and, like any
good editor,cutting out thefluff. The bestentries areabout base-ball, which hebegan cov-ering for TheNew Yorkerin 1962.There areobits for BobFeller, EarlWeaver and
Don Zimmer, tributes toJackie Robinson, Derek Jeter andBob Gibson, and game recaps fromrecent World Series victories by theRed Sox and Giants.
As Angell writes in the introduc-tion, “Readers are invited to … skipabout, make a grab, turn back.”
So first read the title piece nes-tled near the end if you haven’t al-ready. Angell wrote “This Old Man”last year and it deserves every acco-lade it’s received. Deeply personaland yet universal in its sentiment,it’s a marvel of the essay form.
Interspersed throughout the bookare non-traditional writings likehaikus about one of his beloved foxterriers and The New Yorker’s annu-al Christmas letter (”Greetings,Friends!”), as well as correspon-dence between Angell and the fictionwriters he collaborated with for themagazine — Ann Beattie, RobertCreamer and Tracy Daughtery, justto name a few.
