32.5 m Far Niente

The 32.5 meter motoryacht Dolce Far Niente built by SES Yachts in Istanbul is recently launched. The yacht has a classic styling that is based on the famous Dutch Hering Loggers that were built in the early 1900’s in the Netherlands. The hull styling has been optimised further though and the yacht has an overall dimension of 32.7 meter at a beam of 6.7 meter. She is longer than most Loggers though what has made it possible to create a yacht with a high interior volume, both on deck and below decks. She is built with a steel hull and wood composite cold moulded deck house, a construction method that the yard is very experienced with. Advantage of this construction is that the interior styling of the main deckhouse and bridge will show the structural beams and other structural elements in the interior as well. The yacht features an owners’ cabin forward on the main deck, a large main deck salon, a bridge and sky lounge on the bridge deck and four double guest cabins, three crew cabins, galley and laundry on the lower deck.

JOSKPII I». REDDI.XG'S ADDRESS Joseph D. Redding made the concluding speech of the evening. He began with a tribute to the Spanish find traced the marks of Latin civilization upon the people of California. He said: T!iis= is an occasion when the entity of the individual is %unk into the civin ppirit. Pome one has said That every city has its individuality. We >-peak of- the perfume of Rome, of the scent of Paris. If I were asked to define San Francisco, I should say, "nervous San Francisco." We are a city of nerves. The wind sweeps up the peninsula and brings us? the bracing oxygen and carries the "dolce far niente" over to 'Berkeley. San Francisco is really a city of nerves. This accounts for the vitality, for the virility, we possess. It accounts also for the criticism we accord each other, like the criticism of the family. Then we have been through tremendous trials. I do not say that we have more gumption than other p*np)e. but environment produces the man. Environment produced Sari Francisco; and that is why we are w'r.at we are. J think the wisest thing this town can do is to plunge into a yort»x of wholesome pleasure next^October. Forget for a. day or an hour the llla we are heir to and we will acid 3* years to our lives. I do not think the outside world has given credit to what has been accomplished in thi? city through Its officers. lam delighted to find in t!:e municipal offices the best set of men Ul&t has ever occupied those "laces in San Francisco., I am delighted to see the harmony and approval with which they meet this carnival idea. liKE POB.TOI.A TYPE General Portola portrays a type that has come to be our "own. The .•sparse details show at least that he reached here. The came that lie has giveTi to the bay, the name that has been given the city, alone entitle him to our regard. In a recent conversation with Frohman he told me that more money was spent per capita for amusement — for the theater — in San Francisco than in any other city in the country. He asked me if I could give the explanation. It occurred to me that it might be due to welding of the various nationalities here. Nowhere in ' the country has there been such an. extraordiaury melting of all nationalities into a component whole. If this plan is carried out as it has been begun it will pave the way for the rest of the country to

DENIES WOMAN IS WITH BARKER

Son of Xitle Agent Who Has Decamped Shields Name of Miss McCleod

Creditors of J. E. Barker, president of the tile and mantel company that bears his name, endeavored without success yesterday to convince him by wire that he should return to San Francisco to adjust his business affairs. Barker has fled to the state of Washington, and has left his business in a tangle. His son, Harry Barker, has taken hold in the offices in the Monadnock building and is making every effort to straighten out the mess.-

Young: Barker said yesterday that his father was In Washington, but he denied emphatically that Miss McCleod, the secretary of the company, was with his parent. He explained that the young woman had gone to her home at The' Dalles, and exhibited a letter written by her . from that city. lie said that his father had warned him that an attempt might be, made to have it appear . that Miss MeCleod had gone with him, but assured his son that such was not the case. '

Miss McCleod, it appears, has been at her Oregon home for some time.

HARD AUTO TRIP FROM THE SOUTH

Jack Lankershim and Henry T. : Hazzaril^ RReacth t City in „ . Steams Car ?

R. R. l'Hommedieu

Jack Lankershim of .Los Angeles is in town. ;: ; lie catne" overland in his baby tonneau ; Steams, v in • the^party was Henry T. Hazzard and -his chauffeur. The party left | tlie '• City <jf Angela last Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, taking the coast road: The road as far as Santa Barbara was only fair, it'being rutty and full of holes, especially near Calabasas. The. motorists put. up for the E first night at Ventura and - went on to I: Santa* v ßarbara for luncheon. After leaving Ventura in .the. morning they to. go through Casitas pass. This,*: like the rest .of :; "the rroad, was very rough. Near Gaviota they' encountered a stretch of .road that had been the undoing of several automobiles. They ran into a series of holes that were something exceptional. The rain had washed out the road until it had left a hole about 10 feet deep and 40 feet long. Lankershim said yesterday that he did; not know what he would have done if the engine had given out at the bottom of one of these holes, for it would have taken more than a team of horses to have hauled "him out. They reached Santa Maria in a rainstorm and decided to put up for the night. The next morning they were out early, as^they had heard the roads were not the best.. - .

This proved only too true, for it took them a whole day to make the 21 miles to Arroyo Grande. They found the roads very bad and all the bridges washed out. The roads were so bad in | places that they had to leave the main -.road and take a roundabout way to get to their, destination for the night. When they reached Arroyo Grande they had enough riding for one day. From the latter place -to San Luis Obispo the next day they found hard traveling. It was on this stretch of ; the run that they first encountered the heavy mud. Added to this they found most of the bridges gone. But by this time they had become used to fording and ~were surprised when they found a bridge intact. That night they, stayed at San Luis Obispo. . . Getting away to an- early start they reached the Salinas river after going through Paso Robles. At the former place they found that they could not ford the river and had to go by way of Indian valley. The roads, however, began to Improve and were fair as far as Soledad. From Soledad they were heavy on .account* o* tne roaa work which is being done. Many stretches were plowed. After leaving Salinas they went through to San Juan by way of Dumbarton and were surprised to find the roads good. They stopped at San Juan for the night and came through on the following day to San Francisco. '• •

Lankershim advises any one who is thinking of making the trip to put it off for some time. ; As for himself he does not care to make the trip home if the road conditions do not improve a good deal. He was most enthusiastic over the way his Steams car acted through the hard trip. He said that he never raised the hood the whole trip except at night to put in the supply of oil.- \. There was.Tiot a skip »of the engine from the time they : left. Los : Angeles until they arrived .in this city. Tire trouble was also unknown to them — the Mlchelin equipment standing the trip in beautiful shape.

Gwen Curatilo: ‘I Simply Stored Singing’

Her sparkling soprano voice, which once thrilled audiences across the country, can no longer be heard live on stage. But the petite Gwen Curatilo remains an oversized presence in Chico’s opera scene, a major role she has played for nearly five decades.

Legions of CSU, Chico alums, and people from across Northern California’s music scene know Curatilo, the former head of the university’s opera program.

Affectionately known as Mrs. C., she drives a car with the inscription “Soprano” on the make-up license plate and is characterized by her bubbly personality and unmistakable giggle. She is also recognized as a dedicated teacher, accomplished performer, and voracious fundraiser for causes she loves.

The 83-year-old Curatilo “is a synonym for opera in this city,” said Dr. Steven Schwartz, a Chico cardiologist and amateur opera singer who met Curatilo when he moved to Chico in 1982.

“She had a great talent and she worked hard,” recalls Schwartz. “She could identify with the students and wanted them to experience what she was doing – discover the joy and complacency of learning to sing and perform.”

After a well-known professional opera career, 24 years at the helm of Chico State’s opera program, and years of private training for vocal students, Curatilo is stepping back into the limelight.

This weekend, the Opera Impresario and their many accomplishments will be honored at Celebrating Gwen Curatilo at the Harlen Adams Theater in Chico State.

Gwen Curatilo holds a photo of herself from her professional singing days at the San Francisco Opera. She came to Chico State to teach and started the Opera Ball, an annual music scholarship fundraiser.

The affair is billed as a showcase of the past, present, and future of locally grown opera talent, many of whom were at some point sponsored by Curatilo through the Chico State Opera Workshop program she sponsored. Several students have had formidable music careers in the US and Europe, and some are coming back to perform this weekend.

Proceeds from the show will support a music and theater production of The Little Sweep, a children’s opera about a young chimney sweep. The Little Sweep will be performed in January in front of 1,500 elementary school students in the Chico Unified School District.

While many of Chico’s current opera fans are baby boomers or beyond, Curatilo (pronounced “gurr-RAH-tea-low”) hopes the upcoming children’s production will attract a whole new generation of followers.

“If you are not exposed to it, you will never know if you will love it. In my opinion, it’s the most gorgeous and complex art form, ”she explained. “We sing in foreign languages. There is ballet in the opera. There’s a nice orchestra in the orchestra pit. There is costumes, there is acting, and there are beautiful voices. The drama of the opera is so deep. Choose an opera and I’ll tell you that there is a story there that has to do with the culture of that country or the political atmosphere of the time. “

Curatilo will also speak about the intrigue of the opera in late September just before a film of the 2008 San Francisco Opera performance of La Boheme is shown to a group of students at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute in Chico state.

Your zeal for the opera arose entirely by chance.

One day while her family was living near Chicago, a friend of her mother’s suggested that the women take their daughters to the opera. Curatilo, then in third grade, had never attended such a performance.

The show featured Maria Callas, an international post-war soprano, in Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca.

“I was speechless. I was overwhelmed,” recalls Curatilo.

Her love for music remained and a few years later Curatilo joined the choir of her high school. There she learned to refine her singing, to read sheet music, to play the viola and to perform.

By the time she graduated two years early from high school at 16, she knew she wanted to sing. To raise money for college, Curatilo worked for a year in a bakery and then as a clerk at the University of Chicago, where she also sang in the college choir, although she was not a student at the time.

After Curatilo saved enough to begin studying music at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Curatilo did the housework and cooked in the dormitories to support himself. She also sang for a Jewish temple on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings and for a Christian church on Sundays while doing a full course load.

After three semesters, the 19-year-old singer dropped out to marry Joe Curatilo, who had a PhD in music education from the University of Illinois. They moved to San Francisco where he began a teaching career and she found many opportunities to sing.

“I’ve been singing all along; for churches, for associations, for the Sons of Italy, for a Jewish women’s organization, ”she said. “I sang for everyone who asked me. I just kept singing. “

Gwen Curatilo, the former director of the Chico State Opera Workshop program, still privately trains aspiring singers at her Durham home.

In 1958 she auditioned for the prestigious Merola Opera Program of the San Francisco Opera, a senior school for talented young opera singers, and won a place.

In 1960, the San Francisco Opera hired Curatilo as a full-time member and her professional career blossomed while singing in the United States. Over the next six years, she sang in dozen of performances with the opera company, including Madame Butterfly, Marriage of Figaro, Carmen, and The Crucible. Curatilo received many cover roles – she learned the scores of other singers so she could easily jump in at the last minute if necessary.

Eventually it piqued the ears of the Chico State music department, who offered Curatilo the role of Madam Butterfly in the 1968 production of this opera at the university.

After the hit show ended, the University invited Curatilo to return to Chico State in 1969 to teach, a role that inspired them as much as they did on stage.

“I was very aware that singers and athletes get old,” she said. “I didn’t have to be the leading actress all the time… I enjoyed this teaching activity and felt a lot of affection from the students – they were like sponges. I thought how nice it was to be invited to use my skills. “

In 1982 she officially retired from singing.

While studying in Chico state, Curatilo made a name for herself with the university’s Opera Workshop program, which was attended by students, faculty and community members.

“She could identify with the students so deeply and selflessly that they experience what she was doing, learn the joy and self-satisfaction of singing and have the opportunity to pursue a profession or calling.” When singing, “said Schwartz, a frequent singer at Opera Workshop events who will perform during the Saturday gala.

Curatilo also launched the Opera Ball, a lavish fundraiser that takes place every fall for 15 consecutive years until the last one in 1996. And she set up a scholarship program that was instrumental in attracting students to study at the university. Proceeds from the Opera Ball, considered the largest social event in Chico, funded scholarships for music students.

“Our little stars weren’t famous yet, but I thought they would one day,” she said.

Curatilo still privately trains aspiring singers and helps students raise money for their performance studies by holding fundraisers in their ornate home by invitation only. The last charity festival, held in early September, drew about 100 people.

Curatilo calls singing “a passion that has never left me. It hasn’t left me yet. “
