“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Part 1 of a 2-part seriesBy ROBERTA BAKERNew Hampshire Union Leader July 17. 2018 2:02PM Clutter, such as what ServPro found in this Manchester area home, makes living spaces difficult or impossible to navigate. (COURTESY) Silver Linings Silver Linings is a continuing Union Leader/Sunday News report focusing on the issues of New Hampshire's aging population and seeking out solutions.

As operations manager at ServPro of Manchester, Tim Dow has witnessed hoarding's worst extremes: Corridors winding through garbage bags stacked to the ceiling. Human waste, dead animals and food scraps rotting beneath piles of laundry and pizza boxes. People living inside basement tunnels surrounded by tightly packed trash, seldom emerging to eat or bathe, unable to access the kitchen or bathroom behind towers of plastic bags, old news...

Ingleby Gallery’s stand at Frieze New York. To meet Harman last week, I took the 5 train to the end of the line and then walked 25 minutes into Westchester, just north of the Bronx. I passed innumerable auto shops, a massive street-salt pile and Saint Paul’s Church, a national historic site that was used as a British Army hospital during the Revolutionary War. (The church tower’s bell, which still hangs there today, was cast in the same foundry as Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and was buried by the parishioners to stop the British from melting it down for ammunition.)I eventually found Harman on a side street, standing next to the skip, assessing the cubic sculpture coming together inside. Built from the detritus found in the dumpster—bits of plywood, surprisingly lovely slabs of marble and so much cardboard—the unfinished piece looked as if it would fit next to any Arte Povera work or example of anarchitecture by the artist Gordon Matta-Clark. The rough diagonal line on the front of the work emerged as Harman began to assemble it and discovered that his spirit level was “useless” against the competing slants of the potholed street and the bent steel sides of the dumpster.

CookHarman had been labouring in the lugger, without assistants, for 18-hour stretches for two days, staying until at least midnight and relying on a headlamp to see into the container’s tight, dark corners, since the street light above was broken. After clearing out organic materials (decomposing fruit, a bag of coleslaw, half a chicken squashed in tin foil) and scrubbing the dumpster’s inside walls to get rid of any “dribblage contamination” and smelly residues, he set to work creating order out of chaos. Although he sketch... (Art Newspaper)

WEST WARWICK — The Pawtuxet River Authority hosted a cleanup on Saturday, Oct. 28 at the Crompton Fishing Pier on Manchester Street as part of the group’s larger effort to maintain and preserve the waterway for future generations to enjoy.According to Pawtuxet River Authority Vice Chairman Stan Brittsan, he and a group of volunteers from St. Joseph’s School were able to get hands-on behind the pond, where there was a buildup of trash and refuse.“The stuff is falling into the water and getting tossed into the pond,” said Brittsan. "There’s a real mess back there, so we decided let’s do a cleanup.”The spot has become home to tires, trash, empty bottles, propane tanks, chairs, Dunkin Donuts cups and even several 55-gallon barrels that had been dumped.“We’ll work with the kids to pull everything out and maybe also do some pruning,” Brittsan noted. “It’s supposed to be a beautiful day. It’s good to see people that just want to help clean up because it’s their town they want to do something good for it.”Brittsan, who has served on the board for three years, said the Pawtuxet River Authority has been around...
