October 2005
It is the afternoon of October 31st. The sun is past its zenith and headed toward the western horizon. Soon, twilight will arrive and Halloween will awaken with ghosts and goblins and grinning jack'o'lanterns. I wrote the following article for the current issue of the Barnstable Patriot. If you want to read more about the legends I mention, check out Elizabeth Reynard's book "The Narrow Land" at your local library. And a number of the ghost stories can be found in Mark Jasper's book "Haunted Cape Cod and the Islands." Until then ...... Things That Go Bump in Barnstable by Jack Sheedy In a blaze of red and orange the final day of October ends. A planet in the western sky blinks to life as purple twilight touches down upon the sacred landscape of wise, old houses and tapering church spires.
Lone wolf discovered art for ages
AT once a scholar and bushman, outsider and aesthete, rock art researcher Grahame Walsh was among the most striking of the men of genius who were drawn in recent decades to study the world of Aboriginal Australia. Born and reared in the backblocks of central Queensland, Walsh lived a life glutted with dramas, both triumphant and disastrous, which he would often recount in precise, deadpan narratives. The sequence of startling episodes and breakthroughs that shaped the course of his personal and intellectual life had only one thing in common: they sounded completely unbelievable in the telling and they proved to be, in every last detail, true. He had survived death crashes on the Toowoomba escarpment, he had driven the state's roads in a Saracen tank, he had almost drowned after a light plane accident off the Kimberley coast, he had seen more of inland Australia than any man of his generation.
