GREENVILLE - The Moosehead Lake Region Branding Initiative Committee recently announced that it will present the region’s new brand direction at an open-to-the-public presentation on April 10 at 9 a.m. at Greenville Consolidated School. The brand direction is the result of nearly seven months of research and work by the branding committee to identify, defi ne and brand what makes the region unique and can defi ne its prosperous future.

“Successful regions have a focus that helps set them apart from every other area, and that brand – or what we promise to deliver to residents and guests from near and far – is what the Moosehead Region needs to create and perpetuate,” said Amanda Hunt, branding committee member. “Input from the com-munity provided the direction, the branding committee researched the competition and opportunities and, together with experts, we are mapping a new course for our success.”

The branding committee, which was selected by the Moosehead Lake Region Economic Development Corporation (MLREDC), began working with community branding and marketing consultant Roger Brooks International (RBI) in fall 2014 to launch the locally driven initiative. During the April 10 public meeting, the branding committee and Brooks will unveil the new brand direction and emphasize the role everyone plays in carrying it through. The April 10 public unveiling is the culmination of a week of meet-ings by the committee and Brooks to fi nalize the brand direction, preliminary logo and tagline, and other efforts.

“We are already a top seasonal destination in the state and region, but we want to be and can be one of the best year-round state and regional destinations,” said John Simko, town manager of Greenville. “We want to establish a renewed sense of place for the Moosehead Lake Region to both attract new visitors and to encourage business investment to help drive economic growth.”

According to Hunt, the branding initiative committee is pleased with the interest and involvement from those around the state and region who participated in sharing their thoughts and providing di-rection. An online survey had more than 1,400 respondents and hun-dreds of others attended community meetings and focus groups.

Following the April 10 brand direction unveiling, Roger Brooks In-ternational will create and provide a strategic Branding and Market-ing Action Plan that will help the region’s businesses implement the new brand. In addition, a new Brand Leadership Team will be se-

The Moosehead Lake Region has historically been known for its unique character and natu-ral resources and gets its name from its most signifi cant water resource – Moosehead Lake. Lo-cated at the entrance to Maine’s historic North Woods, Moosehead Lake is a 75,000-acre lake pep-pered with more than 80 islands and surrounded by vast work-ing forests and scenic mountain ranges. Since 1998, more than 400,000 acres of land has been permanently conserved, connect-ing the Region to a conservation corridor of nearly two million acres of permanently conserved woods, waters and mountains running from the Canada border to Baxter State Park.

Now in its second year of opera-tion, the MLREDC is working to establish collaborative partner-ships with signifi cant regional and statewide stakeholders. Dis-cussions have been held with Ap-palachian Mountain Club, Maine Huts and Trails, Forest Society of Maine, Town of Greenville, Plum Creek, Northern Forest Canoe Trail, The Nature Conservancy, the State of Maine Offi ce of Tour-ism and others.

MONSON - Mudseason 2015 is a community arts celebration centered around clay. Its a proj-ect where local potters, artists, art students and enthusiasts, mostly from the community of Piscataquis County, pool their artistic know-how to make 60 beautiful hand-crafted bowls, all for a good cause. These unique bowls are distributed to ticket holders of the Mudseason Sup-per which will take place April 11 at 6 p.m. at the UU Church. Jason Curran will entertain with live piano jazz during the sup-per, which will include a variety of handmade soups (including a vegan choice), breads and des-serts. For more information re-garding $25 tickets, call Theresa Boettner on 564-8666.

The money raised from the project will go towards paying for the restoration of four histor-ic storied stained glass windows at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Sangerville and Do-ver-Foxcroft.

The fi rst Mudseason Event in Piscataquis County occurred in 2007 and was sponsored by Wa-tershed Center for Ceramic Arts who taught Jemma Gascoine how to organize and facilitate Mudseason workshops and the celebration event. Gascoine part-nered with the Maine Highlands Guild and the Center Theatre to host the 2007 event, enlisting help from local artists too. The second Mudseason was in 2013 and was at the Monson Commu-nity Center and was sponsored

by local Monson businesses and benefi ted Monson’s food cup-board. Mudseason 15 is the third Mudseason in Piscataquis Coun-ty and this time it is for the UU Church, who help fund some im-portant welfare programs such as the food cupboard and the fuel assistance program.

Most of the pots for Mudsea-son have been thrown at the new Monson Pottery Workshop at the Monson Community Center. Pot-ters Jemma Gascoine and Lyn Black who have been throwing

clay on the potter’s wheel for fi fteen years and ten years re-spectively, opened the workshop at the beginning of February. They are building up inventory for craft fairs and shops. Gas-coine, who has ten years experi-ence teaching, is teaching pri-vate classes at the workshop. They are renting out the pottery wheels at the studio on a month-ly basis. They are open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Call ahead on 370-7099.

“In reponse to the opinion...”To the Editor:In response to the opinion in last weeks Eastern Gazette by Dale Landrith, I do

agree that life is 10 percent what happens and 90 percent how you respond to it or in other words life is what you make it. I do however disagree that much of society today is teaching that people are owed something. If anything it is teaching inequality is acceptable, that it is okay for 10 percent to have 90 percent of the wealth. That it is okay for Wall Street and banks to tell the government to bail them out and then tell the government they can’t be in debt and they need to cut jobs and programs to bring them out of debt when it was they who put them in debt with their huge bailouts. It is not acceptable for college grads to start their lives off in a huge amount of debt. Fun-damental inequality is a threat to society when it becomes so top heavy it will collapse.

So to the new graduates I say to you take steps to change the system. Be a part of America that works to improve things not the part that does nothing and allows the American dream to be swallowed up by greed. We all need to work toward democracy so that we can all pursue good health, happiness and justice for all not only the elite

FORUMOpinion:

Maine Should Reject a New National Parkby Anne MitchellWhen President Obama appointed Roxanne Quimby to the National Park Foun-

dation Board of Directors in 2010, the NPF press release on Ms. Quimby, said that she “bought and conserved approximately 120,000 acres of wild lands in Maine at risk of or already damaged by logging for timber.” This clearly states her opinion on the forest products industry.

Early efforts to rally support for a national park in Maine touted conservation, preservation and protection of these lands for future generations of Mainers. How-ever, Quimby’s disdain for the traditional uses of hunting, fi shing and cutting tim-ber was demonstrated when she blocked timber roads and posted her land. Mainers were so outraged that Quimby withdrew herself and that plan, and soon presented son, Lucas St. Clair, as the new face for the park campaign. The sales pitch became “It’s for the economy” of the area.

St. Clair has been promoting the results of a study commissioned and paid for by his mother’s Elliotsville Plantation, Inc., which attempts to minimize any negative impact on the logging industry by declaring the industry is nearly dead anyway. While promising potential creation of higher wage jobs in the tourism and travel sectors and increases in non-labor sources of income, the Quimby report suggests that the relatively small number of logging jobs will hardly be missed when the park opens.

Next we have a list of businesses supposedly supporting the park and not a single forest products related business is on that list. Plenty of cafes, hair salons, a funeral home and a surf shop signed up, but conspicuously absent are the Maine Guides, loggers, and others who actually make their living in the Maine woods. Would any-one who makes a living in the woods dare hand it over to the Federal government to manage?

The federal government’s track record in America’s West enables us to see what a national park would mean for Maine’s forest products industry. The federal govern-ment’s Northwest Forest Plan to manage 25 million acres of federal forests in Wash-ington, Oregon and Northern California, resulted in an 80% reduction in allowable timber harvest! The increase in disease and resulting forest fi res left to burn is something Mainers should be prepared for with federal control.

Quimby is on the National Park Board. David Shaw, founder of Idexx Labora-tories, was also appointed to the Board in 2010. Make no mistake: Maine has been targeted for a National Park. The plan is in place. Maine people need to prepare legal, preventative measures necessary to reassert citizen sovereignty over Maine lands that are under the real threat of being subject to a federal land transfer in the very near future. Remember, Ms. Quimby once declared her goal of making a gift to the National Park system on the occasion of their 100th birthday in 2016.

Anne Mitchell is Chair of the Maine Woods Coalition, organized in 2000 to fi ght RESTORE’s plan for a 3.2 million acre federal park. www.mainewoodscoalition.org .

MILO/BROWNVILLE - Three Rivers Kiwanis members welcomed New England Kiwanis Division 2 Lieutenant Governor Larry Wade to their March 25 meeting at the Kiwanis Building in Milo. Lt Governor Wade makes at least one offi cial visit per year to each of the clubs in Division 2. He told the club how he loves coming to the Milo-Brownville community, to the Three Rivers club, and to the new Kiwanis build-ing. He shared his appreciation for how Three Rivers shares the building with the community; how proud he is of TRK, who is a big supporter of Project Eliminate, the global campaign for children, uniting with UNICEF to eliminate maternal/ neonatal tetanus (MNT) from the earth, and informed them that their division has 100 percent participation. He remarked the TRK Veteran’s Dinner each November 11 is a really good way to get young kids involved in community service.

There was a short video about Wil Blechman, past president of Kiwanis International, who was instru-mental in developing the organization’s ongoing worldwide program, Young Children: Priority One, which focuses on children from before birth through age 5. “The way we end up as adults is largely a manifesta-tion of what happens in the fi rst fi ve years of life,” Blechman said. The impact of The Eliminate Project and a worldwide project with UNICEF to increase iodine intake for small children has been far reaching and phenomenal. Lt Governor Wade proudly told us his wife, Deanna Wade, is a participant in the EMMC Cuddlers Group, which is a critical aspect of care for newborns.

Local Hand-crafted Items – Crafting Groups

� � (BPT) - Wedding trends come and go, driven by many cultural infl uences, but few are as endur-ing and romantic as shabby chic/shabby glam. With its perfect combination of elegance and soft-ness, bright sparkles and gentle hues, a shabby chic wedding complements the individuality and beauty of brides of every age and walk of life. And, thanks to many rental stores increasing

their inventory of shabby chic items, it's also one of the easiest and most fun wedding themes to create.

Vintage wedding gowns, repurposed items and a wide inventory of thematic rental items can all work together to create a shabby chic wedding that is unique, memorable and affordable. You can visit RentalHQ.com to fi nd your local American Rental Association mem-ber store that will help you with your individual needs. To create a wedding theme that is the perfect marriage of shabby and glam follow these three simple steps:

1. Flowers and lace are the perfect marriage.

Lace isn't just for your wedding gown and fl owers aren't just for your bouquet. Touches of lace added through-out the ceremony and reception underscore the air of nostalgic el-egance that's essential to shabby chic. This can be as easy as add-ing lace touches to wedding invi-tations or using pieces of lace as placemats or coasters on recep-tion tables. Or, it can be as grand as a lace tent liner that evokes a romantic, bygone era. Florals are key to creating a shabby chic look. Whether the bride and groom stand beneath a bower of pastel blooms while exchanging vows, or fl oral accents through-out the bride's couture, fl owers and fl oral patterns lend romance and grace to every aspect of a shabby chic wedding.

2. Light the way.Light plays an important role

in any shabby chic themed event. For weddings, vintage-looking chandeliers, candelabras and hurricane lamps act both as decorative items and sources of romantic light. It's easy to add thematic lighting to any wed-ding, even if your reception will be in an ordinary hall or tent. Rental companies offer an ar-ray of lighting options that can be temporarily outfi tted to any venue. Adorn tables with classic silver candelabra or add a stun-ning crystal chandelier to an out-door tent. You can fi nd a variety of lighting options on RentalHQ.com. Many rental stores have in-

creased their inventory of shabby chic decor items to meet brides' demands, so renting can give you access to greater variety. Plus, you'll reap the cost savings of renting versus buying.

3. Layers of texture.The pleasing union of diverse

colors and textures is at the heart of a shabby chic wedding. Soft colors are the perfect foil for sparkles, and distressed wood complements the beauty of aged metals like silver and pewter. All these elements come together to evoke the grace and comfort of bygone times. Look for creative ways to harmoniously incorpo-rate these touches into your wed-ding. For example, display your wedding cake, adorned with real fl owers, atop a rustic wooden table. Decorate an antique metal birdcage with lace and ribbon and use it as a holder where re-ception guests can deposit cards for the bride and groom. Add pe-tite crystal and pearl accents to bouquets and centerpieces. For a rustic food table, rent wooden barrels, top with an aged wooden plank, and present food on vin-tage serving plates.

Finally, look for inspiration online. Resources like Pinterest, Etsy and theknot yield a wealth of ideas, and you can browse pho-tos of other weddings and bridal creations to fi nd the perfect look for your shabby chic wedding.

3 secrets to creating the shabby chic wedding of your dreams

The Eastern Gazette * Your HomeTown AdVantage April 3 - 9, 2015 Page 11

(BPT) - Weddings can be ex-pensive, and most brides and grooms need to establish a bud-get before they start planning the wedding so they can afford to get hitched. Many couples are now getting married later in life and paying most or all of the costs themselves, so it's im-portant to start budgeting sooner than later.

The following tips will help you and your fi ance keep your costs down so you can stay within your wedding budget. They cover ev-erything from the moment when you say "Yes" to the second you say "I do."

1. Set a long engagement - There are two benefi ts to having an engagement of a year or lon-ger. First, it allows you to spread costs over several paychecks. For example, if you get engaged this spring, you can choose one month to put a down payment on the reception hall, and an-other month for purchasing the wedding dress and renting the tuxedo. A third month could be used for purchasing honeymoon trip tickets, and a fourth month for the photographer's down pay-

ment. During your engagement you can also start putting money into a savings account so you aren't strapped for cash immedi-ately following your wedding.

The second reason a long en-gagement makes fi nancial sense is that many couples will set a seasonal theme for their wed-dings, wanting to decorate the wedding and reception hall in that theme. The best time to purchase decorations and sup-plies for seasonal events is im-mediately following those events, because stores discount them when it's time to get them off the shelves. If you are planning a fall theme, for example, keep an eye on the shelves for these kinds of discounted decorations right af-ter Thanksgiving or Halloween. Longer engagements allow cou-ples to take advantage of a these seasonal discounts at least once, if not twice.

2. Combine your resources - A couple living in the same household can save hundreds of dollars monthly by combin-ing expenses related to rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries and even transportation. If you re-

cently became engaged and are considering moving in together, calculate how much money you'll be saving so you can apply those savings toward your wedding budget.

During the moving process, you can save additional money. For example, when you combine your households, will you need two sets of dishes and furniture? Probably not. Perhaps you can even host a garage sale to sell the items you don't need dupli-cates of; then you can put that money toward a wedding-related item. As you plan your big move, be sure to check out great mov-ing services like Penske Truck Rental, which offers AAA and other great discounts to help soon-to-be newlyweds save mon-ey on moving costs.

3. Find the best deals - If you've always dreamed of get-ting married under a tent at a local park, you might discover that tent rental far exceeds your budget - especially if you live in an urban setting. This is where the Internet can be very help-ful. Sometimes it's cheaper to

(BPT) - Getting ready to say "I do?" Of all the tasks you'll do to prepare for your big day, creating your wedding registry will be one of the most fun. It's your chance to choose everything for your home, from towels and linens to plates, fl atware and kitchen gad-gets. Be sure to add choices in a variety of price ranges so guests can decide how much they want to spend, while still getting you and your new spouse something you really want. Dream big - in addition to the basics, take this opportunity to ask for premium gifts. Here are a few items any couple would be thrilled to re-ceive and enjoy.

Mixing up magicA high-performance blender is

a must-have for any newly mar-ried couple or family. Ask for one that can help with every meal of the day, such as the Vitamix S55. With a smaller footprint than conventional blenders, this pow-erful machine offers the conve-nience of four pre-programmed settings and two container op-tions, including a blend-and-go smoothie cup. Use the S55 to make breakfast smoothies in the morning, salad dressing for lunch, soup for dinner, and even dips and drinks for last-minute entertaining.

Multi- taskersPots and pans are a registry

staple, but you should also add specialty cookware and bake-ware, such as a roasting pan, rectangular baker or covered baking dish. Choosing oven-to-table pieces makes it easy to go straight from cooking to presen-tation, all in one dish that works for both tasks. Many of these dishes also include lids for easily storing leftovers. By asking for a set that comes with multiple pieces, you'll be ready to create brunch casseroles, lasagna for

dinner and a warm bread pud-ding for dessert.

Backyard barbecuesAn outdoor grill can help set

the scene for family gatherings, tailgate parties or just relaxing with friends. Decide if you prefer gas, which offers easy operation and clean-up, or charcoal, which many barbecue connoisseurs say provides a more intense, grilled fl avor. Also, think about extra features you may want, such as a built-in thermometer, side burners, shelves or tool hooks. Don't forget skewers, cooking utensils such as spatulas, tongs and grill forks, as well as other accessories like a grill mitt, grill basket or pizza pan. Be sure to consider space as well. If you live in an apartment, you may opt for a smaller grill or one that hooks directly on your balcony.

Serve in styleBe ready for dinner parties

with formal dinnerware and crystal stemware. Select time-less patterns that will look fresh and inviting on your table for years to come. Add a pop of color and personality with low-cost, on-trend accent pieces, such as chargers or a coffee or tea pot. Register for a few different types of glasses including water gob-lets, wine glasses and stemless or highball glasses, depending on your drink of choice. Experts recommend requesting eight to 12 place settings, but you may want more if you plan to host large events.

Unconventional toolsOnce you've got the basics cov-

ered, consider some out-of-the-box kitchen items. Keep recipes handy by registering for a cut-ting board that has place for a tablet. For easy entertaining, a slate cheese board enables you to write the name of each cheese or appetizer right on the board. Or,

pick one with a hidden drawer for knives and storage.

Friends and family often like to give a signature gift that will make you think of them each time you use it. If you need ex-tra advice on what to choose for your registry, don't hesitate to ask a consultant at your local department store or download checklists from popular wedding websites and blogs. Creating a wedding registry is often the fi rst step toward building your home as a married couple, so get the right items to make it a happy one.

Domestic bliss: 5 fabulous wedding registry upgrades

rent equipment like tents, fold-ing chairs, wedding canopies and other decorations from busi-nesses that are located outside of your community.

To save even more, drive your personal car to the communi-ty where you'll be renting the equipment, rent a Penske truck to transport all the equipment to where your wedding will be, and then return the equipment in the

truck once you're fi nished with it. Then you can simply pick up your personal car for the drive home. If you have friends around for the wedding, ask them to be responsible for this part of the wedding so you can concentrate on other plans.

When you and your loved one begin planning your wedding, keep your budget-balancing stress to a minimum with these helpful money-saving tips.

Tankless Water Heaters

You don’t use hot water 24 hours a day, but with a standard water heater, you heat and reheat the same water - even when you’re sleeping.The Rinnai tankless water heater is a more efficient way to heat quickly and will deliver an endless supply of hot water for as long as you need it. With the Rinnai tankless water heater, you only pay to heat water when you need it! Produce and supply endless streams of hot water to multiple outlets simultaneously without any fluctuation in temperature.

• Up to 50 percent more energy efficient than traditional gas water heaters - up to 70 percent more efficient than an electric water heater

• Shut-off automatically when the water supply is closed, providing significant energy savings

• Compact wall mounted units with a life expectancy of 25 years.

Rinnai Energy Efficient

Space HeatersEnjoy comfortable heat anywhere all winter long. Rinnai heaters are efficient and easy to install. And the innovative cool-to-the-touch cabinet makes it safe for the whole family.

Rinnai’s ductless heaters are among the quietest operating on the market. Efficient fans offer exceptional air flow at very low decibels, a little louder than a whisper (31-47 dBA).
