MAINE HISTORY NEWS
Kennebec Historical Society, Maine State Library present ‘Our Point of View — Fourteen Years at a Maine Lighthouse’ “one of Maine’s most renowned wildlife photographers,”
AUGUSTA — Imagine living in a century-old lightkeeper’s house on the coast of Maine. It sounds like a fantasy, but for Tom and Lee Ann Szelog, dream became reality when they settled into the keeper’s quarters at the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde. Join the Szelogs to experience what it’s like to live in an authentic and operating lighthouse on the
Maine coast Wednesday, March 20, at 6:30 p.m. at the Maine State Library, 230 State St. In a narrated photography presentation based on the Szelog’s book, “Our Point of View – Fourteen Years at a Maine Lighthouse,” witness the ever=changing tide of emotion and drama through compelling stories and extraordinary photographs. Published by Down East Books, the book has been honored as one of the Best Photo Books by “Shutterbug” magazine and was
the winner of Best MaineThemed Book in the Maine Literary Awards from the Maine Writers and Publishers Association. The book also is a Gold Medal winner from the Independent Publishers Association. The Szelog’s home was remote by most people’s standards, yet relatively accessible for a lighthouse station. Sometimes they had only wildlife and passing boats for company, but not for long, because the spell of the lighthouse drew pilgrims in all sea-
sons. People came to rest, to play, to marry, to meditate, and to celebrate — all within view of the keeper’s house and the lenses of Tom’s camera. Szelog has spent his entire life observing, writing and/or photographing wildlife. He has been a full-time professional photographer for 40 years, specializing in photographing wildlife, nature and landscapes. He has earned the reputation and is often described as “one of Maine’s most renowned wildlife photographers,” and is a recipient of the Philip Hyde Award, presented annually to a photographer
who is working to preserve the condition of the natural environment through the art of photography. His wife is president of Simply Put, LLC, specializing in presentations on communication, attitude and human relations. As passionate wildlife advocates, they also work collaboratively, sharing their words and photographs in narrated photography presentations and books to educate and inspire people about the important role our natural world plays in our lives. Their most recent book, “By a Maine River,” explores the natural beauty found in their own backyard. This presentation is co-
Submitted photo sponsored by the Maine State Library and free to the public (although donations will be accepted). For more information, contact Scott Wood, KHS administrative director, at kennhis1891@ gmail.com or call 207-6227718.

program. Safe Families for Children in Whiting was awarded $7,500 to support its services throughout Central Maine. Safe Families hosts vulnerable children and creates extended family-like support for desperate families through a community of volunteers motivated by compassion
to keep children safe and ultimately together with their families. “These organizations are working toward the vitally important mission of ensuring that Maine’s youth are afforded opportunities that may not otherwise be available to them,” said Steve Closson, chairman of Androscoggin Bank’s
MainStreet Foundation. “We are glad to be a part of furthering their work.” Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2018, MainStreet Foundation’s annual $25K for Kids grant was awarded to New Beginnings. MainStreet Foundation awarded a total of $72,200 in 2018.
ConnectME asks Mainers to test areas needing faster broadband service AUGUSTA — The ConnectME Authority has set up an easy and straightforward way for Maine people to help identify specific areas in need of faster broadband service. Improving access to broadband is a key component of the plan to strength-
en the foundation for sustained economic growth in every corner of Maine. The state has some information regarding the accessible infrastructure, but is aware that the existing data isn’t as accurate as it needs to be. “Evaluating our
broadband needs is the first step to solving them. We are hoping that residents, businesses and providers will help us update this list to ensure that we have captured all of the areas that do not have access to effective broadband service,” said
Heather Johnson, acting commissioner of the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development. “We believe that reaching out to communities can be one of the most effective ways for us to learn what capacity homes and

AT THE STATE HOUSE
O’Connor’s ‘Coastal Waters’ paintings on view at Maine State House AUGUSTA — The Maine Arts Commission is exhibiting the work of painter Christopher O’Connor in the Maine State House. The work is part of a selection of 22 paintings from his series “Coastal Waters.” The exhibit is frree in the State House, which is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. “Coastal Waters” explores the subject of Maine’s rugged coastline on various size canvases. Through the use of vibrant coloring and rigorously constructed compositions, O’Connor says he strives to compose paintings that conjure up an immediate
visual impact, one that engages with the detail and structure implicit in each painting. “My intention is to create works that elicit a quiet sense of balance and calm in the viewer,” O’Connor says, referring to his current body of work. “It is through the surface quality of the paint and within the distilled composition of the painting that the intention of my work is revealed.” O’Connor was born in Ireland, where he developed a passion for painting. As a young man, he traveled extensively to Europe and the U.S. for inspiration before returning to the quiet hills of Killarney to further develop and refine
his work. Over the years O’Connor says he has been drawn to a diverse range of artists and styles. “I have come to understand that the artworks that I am most captivated by all have similar qualities - a strong compositional sense, layered coloring, a vibrant surface quality, restrained intensity,” O’Connor says. “Add to these the dogged determination to work on a piece until it is finished, and you have works of art that are enduring and endlessly engaging.” In 2012 O’Connor moved to Portland, where he was drawn to Maine’s rugged coastline. He said he fell in love with the con-
trast of jagged granite and aquamarine. Considered masterful in the styles of pointillism and expressionism, O’Connor approaches the landscape genre with intense detailed colorwork, predominately on large canvases, creating an abstract realism aesthetic. The exhibit can be viewed as a free, self-guided exhibition, and is on both the ground floor and second floor of the Maine State House. All works are available to buy. The Art in the Capitol program is administered by the Maine Arts Commission and is designed to expand accessibility for Maine artists working in state on Maine-based themes. To

SURVIVAL GUIDE
Birds need extra assistance in winter
Cold weather can be particularly taxing on many of the birds individuals discover in their backyards throughout the year. Although some species migrate to warmer climates each winter, many stay put and attempt to ride out winter in their normal habitats. Birds that tend to stay put include finches, sparrows, titmice, jays, woodpeckers, chickadees, and cardinals. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology says that, in much of North America, winter days can be windy and cold for birds, and nights are even more challenging. In winter, birds no longer have berries and lush vegetation to consume and insects have died or gone underground. Since finding food can be especially difficult, and shelter may be scarce, many birds can benefit from a little help from their human friends. Shelter
Wild Birds Unlimited says shelter for birds is hard to come by in winter. Trees have shed their leaves, and evergreens may not be as abundant or protective. As a result, birds frequently seek man-

made structures that can provide refuge from the elements. People can provide shelters for birds, which may include traditional birdhouses, windbreaks and snow shields. Even a brush pile can simulate the natural shelters of trees and shrubs that birds prefer. Roost boxes are another option and one that can accommodate small flocks that will group together and share their body heat. Use leaves and branches to provide natural camouflage and help attract birds to the shelter. Offer yarn, fabric scraps, cotton, and other insulating materials that birds can use to help make their shelters more comfortable. Food
Birds require high-calorie and high-fat foods in the winter so they can keep up their metabolism to generate warmth. Also, since birds’ feeding habits vary depending on the type of bird, it may be necessary to place feeders at varying heights to maximize access. Feeders should be located out of the wind and in an area that offers safe refuge from predators. The National Wildlife Federation also says individuals should put out sizable feeders and/or use multiple feeders to provide ample food during snow and ice storms. Feeders should be checked regularly and kept full. Consistency is also important because birds will grow accustomed to being supplemented with food and may depend on such supplements to

survive. Bird Watcher’s Digest suggests a variety of foods for birds. Black-oil sunflower seeds, peanuts, suet, cracked corn, millet, thistle seed, safflower, and various fruits can help many birds thrive. It’s also suggested to include mealworms, which can be purchased at bait stores or pet stores. These larvae of beetles can be presented in a shallow dish with slippery sides so the worms cannot crawl out. Birds typically need extra support to survive harsh winters. Offering food and shelter during these bleak months can help. — Courtesy of Metro

PLAN and GROW your business with monthly tips on various subjects such as taxes, human resources, and marketing.
Manage your finances
Accounting for revenue and expenses can help keep your business running smoothly. Make sure you maintain proper bookkeeping and have a basic knowledge of business finances.
Start with a balance sheet The balance sheet is the foundation of managing your finances. It operates as a snapshot of your business financials. It helps you keep track of your capital and provide a cash flow projection for future years. A balance sheet will help you account for costs like employees and supplies. It will also help you track assets, liabilities, and equity. You can get insights by separating and analyzing segments of your business, like comparing online sales to face-to-face sales.
Cost-benefit analysis Looking closely at money-in and money-out helps maintain a sustainable bal-
ance between profit and loss. From development and operations to recurring and nonrecurring costs, it’s important to categorize expenses in your balance sheet. Then, you can use a cost-benefit analysis to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of a business decision, and put potential recurring benefits and cost reductions in context. A CBA is a technique for making non-critical choices in a relatively quick and easy way. It simply involves adding money in benefits and money in costs over a specified time period, before subtracting costs from benefits to determine success in terms of dollars. This can come in handy with hiring another employee or an independent contractor. For example, let’s say you’re deciding whether to add outdoor seating for your sausage themed restaurant, Haute Dog. You estimate outdoor seating would add $5,000 in extra profit from sales each year. But, the outdoor seating permit costs $1,000 each
year, and you’d also have to spend $2,000 to buy outdoor tables and chairs. Your cost-benefit analysis shows that you should add outdoor seating, because the new benefits ($5,000 in new sales) outweigh the new costs ($3,000 in permitting and equipment expenses).
Pick a method of accounting Businesses often use either the accrual or cash methods of recording purchases. The accrual method puts transactions on the books immediately upon completing the sale. The cash method only records this once payment has been received. For example, if you make a sale in January and receive the $200 payment in February, an accrual method would allow you to record that on January’s books, while the cash method would require that payment to land on February’s books.

You may not need to conduct credit checks, but there are credit evaluation tools available for small business.

HELPING EACH OTHER
High school girls’ basketball ‘Box Out Cancer’ event raises $1,300 By Mark Huard Guest Writer FAIRFIELD — Lawrence High School’s girls basketball teams held the second annual Box Out Cancer event Jan 29. The money raised at this event is donated to the Alfond Cancer Care Center. This starts off with the Lawrence girls Basketball Boosters group selling pink ribbons hung on the gym walls the night of the event. On the night of the game, the cheerleaders and players from both Lawrence and Mt. Blue are given pink “Box out Cancer” shirts to be worn during warm-ups. These shirts were donated by Hometown Veterinary Care. Additionally, the group sells 50/50 tickets, pink ribbons and T-shirts during the JV game and the start of the varsity game. This helps to raise more money for the cause. Participants said they
are very excited to take part in an event that will help so many, noting it’s a way for the community to give back and help people out during a very trying time in their lives. The committee tries to think of ways to make this process fun. The Shopping Cart Frenzy is a fun-for-all game played at halftime of the varsity game. Fans can purchase a bag of 3 tennis balls for $5. These balls are numbered and the fans’ names is written on a chart next to their ball number. At halftime, a volunteer teacher throws on a helmet and cruises around the gym as fans try to throw the tennis balls into the shopping cart. Number landing in the cart are awarded a locally-donated prize. This year Lawrence girls basketball raised $1,300 for the Alfond Care Center. A member of the center comes to the game and is presented

Thomas College’s Dirty Dog Mud Run registration is now open WATERVILLE — Are you looking for an event to motivate yourself to exercise in the new year? Are you looking for a fun event to do with your friends or the whole family? If you answered ‘yes,’ you should sign up for Thomas College’s fifth annual Dirty Dog Mud Run. The event is open to the public and will be held on Sunday, April 14, at Thomas College, 180 West River Road. The Thomas College Dirty Dog Mud Run is a 5-K,
14-obstacle course that loops through both the woods and campus. This year, the race will be on Thomas College’s new campus trail — the Sukeforth Family Trail System. Obstacles range from monkey bars, tire flips, mud crawl, bucket carry, threefour- five-foot walls, and trails. The new course this year includes running on the Sukeforth Family Trail, more mud pits, tire drags and a few
surprises. “It is truly incredible how this event has grown during the last four years. We now have visitors from all over the state, from all walks of life,” said Jim Delorie, Thomas College assistant dean for student engagement “Whether you’re looking for a challenge and to compete amongst the best, or you’re just looking to have fun and get dirty – this is the race for you. We can’t wait to see you there!”
Registration is now open online (https://www.adventuresignup.com/Race/ME/ Waterville/ThomasCollegeDirtyDogMudRun). The cost is $30 before Feb. 14, $45 afterwards, and is open to any and all community members. All proceeds support Thomas College’s student recreation. In the past, proceeds have purchased exercise bikes, fat-tire mountain bikes and disc golf baskets and built an outdoor ice rink.
Celebrating its 125th anniversary, Thomas College offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in programs ranging from business, entrepreneurship, and technology, to education, criminal justice, and psychology. Its Guaranteed Job Program, the first of its kind in the nation, is built on students’ academic, career, and leadership preparation. Thomas is also home to the Harold Alfond Institute for Business Innovation and the Center
for Innovation in Education. In 2017, Money Magazine ranked Thomas 23rd of all colleges and universities in the country for adding the most value to their degrees, and data reported by the New York Times ranks Thomas in the top 15 percent of all higher education institutions in the U.S. for upward mobility of its graduates.

Winslow student a martial arts natural
WINSLOW — Remembering that martial arts begins and ends with respect, Abigail Dudley, 12, of Winslow carries the martial arts creed with her in everything she does. She says it helps her to maintain a heavy academic and athletic schedule, which includes Jui-jitsu with Shihan Mike Huard, karate with Sensei Mark Huard and Shihan Mike Huard. She is also a member of Huard’s Sports karate team with Sensei Mark and Sensei Jayme Dennis. Recently she was also invited to join Team IPPONE (Independent Promoters and Practitioners of New England) with Sensei Denise Rouleau and Shihan Andy
Campbell. To add to her already busy schedule, she also takes dance at Studio One For Dancers during the school year. She participates in gymnastics in the summer at the Alfond Youth Center, and during the school year she participates in after school sports while maintaining an “A” average in her classes at Mount Merici Academy. Abigail is a four time S.M.A.R.T (State Martial Arts Ratings & Totals) state champion. In 2017, her first year competing in IPPONE ratings, she placed fourth in New England in weapons. This past year 2018, she placed third in kata and

Abigail enjoys mentoring and helping the younger students in her dojo and on her teams. Her biggest enjoyment is empowering the younger girls at the dojo, on her teams and those she meets at other tournaments. She finds it very humbling that they want to learn from her and be like her. Her goal in teaching and helping them is to show them they can do and achieve anything they dream. Being a female in martial arts or any other

Hall-Dale stages ‘Beauty and the Beast’ The students at Hall-Dale High School, under the directions of Mel Bills and Deb Large, gave life to the inanimate objects in their performance of “Beauty and the Beast,” the weekend of Jan. 11-13. After a curse is lowered on the Prince and his castle, not only does he become the Beast, but his household goods and the utensils become animated. When I say animated, I mean animated. Whether through perfect typecasting or simply the enthusiasm and skill of the students, the clock, Cogswort, and the candlestick, Lumiere, as well as Mrs. Potts, the tea kettle, were made believable and often hilarious. Particularly funny was the flirtatious Frenchman, Lumiere, played by Maggie Brown and her anxious, plotting partner, the British Cogsworth, played by Tessa ReevesAhn. Like many others in the cast, the comedic duo obviously enjoyed performing and they got into their parts. The two girls, like a few other students, have enjoyed some experience with community theater and performing centers such as Johnson Hall. Other students, including Georgia Howe (Belle/Beauty) Kieran Dionne (Beast) Hadley Hayward (Mrs. Potts) and several other players have been in the school’s chorus and band. Howe portrayed a gentle and sweet Beauty and had a fine voice that mirrored those same qualities. Dionne has been active in Hall-Dale’s theater since middle school, is in jazz band and choir, and has attended USM’s Southern Maine Theater Academy. Hayward was doing her first show, but has been sing-

The freshman noted in the show’s program notes, “I wasn’t sure how shows all come together, and it’s been so much fun adding all the costumes and props and seeing it all so beautifully fall into place.” Adding to her sentiments, the show did come together. The set, though simple, was more than adequate and the stage crew with the help of the players made all the scene changes seamless and nondistracting. The leads had their lines down and were delivered with the correct emotions, gestures and stage business. This was indicative of expert guidance from Bills and Large. The lighting and sound were fine by high school standards, the background music from Disney was great and cued
