SUMMARY:What Is a Short-Story Cycle\, Why Write One\, and How? With Author Laura Bonazzoli
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, Morgan Talty\, author of Night of the Living Rez\, gave a shout-out to short-story cycles on Maine Public Radio’s Maine Calling\, noting that they’re an increasingly popular genre of fiction. But why? What exactly is a short-story cycle? What are its characteristics? As compared to a traditional short-story collection or novel\, what advantages—and challenges—might it hold for readers? And if you’re intrigued by the possibility of writing one\, how might you begin?  \n\n\n\nJoin Rockport author Laura Bonazzoli to explore this fascinating genre. Laura will also read excerpts from her own short-story cycle\, Consecration Pond\, which was described by Publishers Weekly as poetic and haunting\, “a solid\, meditative collection of interconnected short stories that weave together seemingly disparate narratives into a satisfying and cohesive whole.” Consecration Pond was published by indie press Toad Hall Editions in August 2022\, and is available at local bookstores\, directly from the publisher at toadhalleditions.ink\, and as an e-book for Kindle readers at Amazon.com. Signed copies of Consecration Pond will also be available at the event.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura Bonazzoli’s fiction has appeared in numerous publications\, including Evening Street Review\, Exposition Review\, The Sandy River Review\, and many others. She has also published poetry and personal essays in literary magazines and anthologies. After the publication of her short stories “Prayer of the Bell” and “Spring Ice\,” she began working on a collection of linked stories of loss and resilience that all take place on a fictional pond in Maine. That collection became the short-story cycle\, Consecration Pond.

SUMMARY:"A Bit of Déjà Vu" — More of Jim Dugan's Photography of Windjammers and "Maine Kaleidoscopes"
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library welcomes Rockland photographer Jim Dugan for an exhibit in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of July\, featuring a mixture of his windjammer photos and his “Maine Kaleidoscopes.” \n\n\n\nFor those keeping track\, yes\, Jim Dugan did just have another show of his photography at another institution just down the road. But fear not! Jim has changed the show enough that even if you saw the other one\, you’ll find exciting new work in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\n“I mostly consider myself a straight photographer\,” Jim says\, “But I’ve embraced digital processes and all of my photos now go through some digital enhancements. That’s mostly intended to heighten the feeling I had when making the exposure. Sometimes\, though\, I’m looking to transform the image into something completely new.” \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n“After the Bake”\n\n\n\n“Popham Sand Kaleidoscope”\n\n\n\n“Departure”\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJim teaches photography aboard the schooner Mary Day (docked just down the hill from the Library) and has served as crew aboard her a few times. His Kaleidoscopes series is digital composites that transform a photo of a recognizable Maine place into something completely different.

SUMMARY:Camden Philosophical Society: Alasdair MacIntyre's "Dependent Rational Animals"
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Philosophical Society continues on the broad theme of philosophy as a way of living. The work to be discussed is Scottish-American moral and political philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre’s book Dependent Rational Animals. The hybrid gathering will be at 3:30 pm on Tuesday\, June 18. All are welcome to participate\, in-person at the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library or by Zoom.  \n\n\n\nIf you wish to participate via Zoom\, please email sarahmiller@usa.net. You will receive a Zoom invitation on the morning of the meeting. Click on the “Join Zoom Meeting” link in that invitation at the time of the event. \n\n\n\nMajor themes from the book that we expect to explore in June\, and possibly continuing into July\, are: Why it is important for humans to pay attention to and understand what we have in common with other intelligent animals; what makes “attention to human vulnerability and disability important for moral philosophers”; and how it is that developing the “virtues of rational independence and the virtues of acknowledged dependence” require social groups (communities) that differ from either the modern family or the national state. \n\n\n\nDependent Rational Animals was written in 1999 and is available for free online here: https://vdocuments.net/alasdair-macintyre-dependent-rational-animals.html?page=1 Given the two-month gap until our next meeting\, we recommend that those planning to participate in our June discussion read significant portions of the relatively short book. Readings should definitely include the Preface and first two chapters\, which cover the first two of MacIntyre’s three main themes. Chapters 3-5 are not vital. Chapters 6-11 cover the third theme. 12 is not vital\, albeit interesting. The last chapter begins with a useful summary and a discussion of grounding. The last bit on Nietzsche can be skipped by those not interested in Nietzsche. \n\n\n\nMacIntyre is a self-described Aristotelian-Thomist (as in Aquinas). He is a renowned proponent of virtue ethics\, notably in his 1981 book After Virtue\, and also of communitarianism in contrast to liberal capitalism.

To attend virtually register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7NdvIqYWQZC1aXTWzMUVdg \n\n\n\nWidespread fossil fuel heating use in one of the nation’s old housing stocks add up to a key climate challenge for Maine. Weatherization and electrification can help save money and make your home more comfortable\, while shrinking your carbon footprint — but they don’t always come cheap\, and they require careful planning. \n\n\n\nLearn from local climate journalist Annie Ropeik and energy auditor Colin McCullough of All-Around Home Performance in Gardiner about how they worked together to assess the needs of an 125-year-old home in Camden\, and get up to speed on the benefits\, possibilities and resources for taking on these kinds of projects in your own space.  \n\n\n\n\nAnnie Ropeik is an independent climate journalist based in Camden. She writes for Energy News Network\, The Maine Monitor and other publications and serves on the board of the Society of Environmental Journalists. She was a 2023 Journalism Fellow with the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative\, covering Maine’s transition off heating oil. Annie spent about a decade as a local public radio reporter\, creating the climate desk at New Hampshire Public Radio in 2020 and covering local climate adaptation for NPR. A Boston University graduate\, she grew up in Silver Spring\, Maryland.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nColin McCullough worked as a home energy auditor for the MassSave program for 10 years\, and more recently worked for Efficiency Maine as the Senior Technical Field Representative for the Quality Assurance program.  Colin is a Certified Energy Auditor from the Building Performance Institute (BPI) and is a trainer / proctor for BPI certification in Maine and teaches the building science courses at SMCC and KVCC. Putting his energy efficiency experience to work\, he’s been renovating his 1915 home in Farmingdale to become a high-performance\, net-zero energy home. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe talk is part of the Camden Talks Climate series put on by CamdenCAN\, CamdenCAN (ClimateActionNow) is a citizen-led organization committed to reducing Camden’s contribution to climate change through local action\, education\, advocacy\, and resources. We help our community take advantage of climate solutions with actionable steps. \n\n\n\nRead the CamdenCAN newsletter here.

SUMMARY:The EN-ROADS Interactive Climate Solutions Simulator with Paul Stancioff
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Camden Public Library on Tuesday\, June 11\, at 6:30 PM for a fascinating and interactive experience using MIT’s EN-ROADS climate simulator\, led by a Paul Stancioff\, a trained EN-ROADS facilitator. \n\n\n\nThis presentation demonstrates an engaging\, accessible\, but highly sophisticated climate policy simulator\, inviting the audience to propose various climate solutions and giving instant feedback on their long-term climate impact. The simulator allows users to explore the impact that dozens of policies—such as electrifying transport\, pricing carbon\, and improving agricultural practices—have on hundreds of factors like energy prices\, temperature\, air quality\, and sea level rise. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDeveloped by Climate Interactive\, the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative\, and Ventana Systems\, En-ROADS is a system dynamics model carefully grounded in the best available science\, and has been calibrated against a wide range of existing integrated assessment\, climate\, and energy models. \n\n\n\nPaul Stancioff\, retired professor of Physics at UMF\, recently returned to his hometown of Camden. He and his wife\, Cynthia Stancioff\, are actively engaged in promoting policies and actions to address the impact that human produced greenhouse gases are having on the planet.

DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to join the artists at an opening reception on Saturday\, June 1\, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\nThe Camden Public Library is pleased to show a group exhibit titled “Above Us Only Sky” in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of June*. In the spirit of “UMVA Members and Friends\,” the exhibitors include three UMVA (Union of Visual Artists) member artists\, Mary Brooking of Westbrook\, Jane Gilbert of Orland and Key West\, and Deb Vendetti of South Hope\, along with invited guest Dee Peppe of Rockland. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition’s title\, “Above Us Only Sky\,” refers to collective dialogues with light and sky during the group’s stay at the Baldwin House on Monhegan Island. The exhibition also includes images collected in other locations\, inspired by Monhegan as “muse.” \n\n\n\n\nMary Brooking\, “Semi-Precious”\, acrylic\n\n\n\nDeb Vendetti\, “Spectral Echo”\, panoramic photo\, micro-piezo print\n\n\n\nJane Gilbert\, “Afternoon Light”\n\n\n\nDee Peppe\, “Monhegan Light”\, photograph\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMary Brooking uses many layers of paint\, frequently obliterating certain elements as the paintings progress\, “challenging myself always to distill and reduce my original reaction to its exact essence and nothing more\, my paintings are spaces meant to test the balance between reality and abstraction”.  \n\n\n\nAfter a career as an Art Therapist and a Fine Art Photographer\, Jane Gilbert returned to her first love\, painting\, and now paints full time in Key West and Maine. “For about twenty years\, I’ve been meeting my friend and fellow artist Deb Vendetti on Monhegan Island for a week of painting\, photographing\, and simply enjoying nature. In recent years\, we’ve been joined by other artists\, and just last summer were able to experience the sweeping panorama of sky\, ocean\, Manana Island and the mainland from the Baldwin Cottage”. \n\n\n\nInvited guest and UMVA ‘friend”\, Photographer Dee Peppe will exhibit images that are inspired by the color of light after sunset\, including both natural and artificial lights. Peppe is a longtime local\, fine-art photographer and professor at various Maine colleges. She has led photographic travel workshops to France\, Belize\, and Guatemala and has been teaching photography in the workshop format since 1990. \n\n\n\nUMVA member Deb Vendetti\, who organized this exhibition\, remarks\, “The importance of quiet time\, in a supported and unstructured format and in the fellowship of other artists\, immersing oneself in a place\, these are the moments of grace when one is removed from distraction and invited to enter the dialog”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Union of Maine Visual Artists is a non-profit organization that promotes and advocates for the visual arts\, artists\, and all arts supporters.
