Fryeburg Town Column Robin Johnson ravenstone54@hotmail.com
Encore of ‘Leonardo Live’ Thursday
I’d like to start this week’s column with happy birthday wishes to my dear friend Patricia Haltof. Today she celebrates her 90th birthday. For those of you in the community who know Pat, and most of you do, I’m sure you’ll agree that she is a most amazing woman. Her stories entertain us, her humor keeps us laughing, her opinions prompt deep discussion, and her memories inspire us. Her family, including sons Gary, of Rochester, N.Y., Mark, of Cape Elizabeth, and Andrew, of Hartford, Maine, as well as her daughter and son-in-law, Melinda and Thatcher Caldwell, of Dover, visited her over the weekend to celebrate this special birthday. Happy birthday Pat, and like it or not, I wish you many more. The Fryeburg Public Library will continue to offer free tax help on Mondays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for people of all ages with low to moderate income until April 9. To schedule an appointment please call (207) 935-2731. The library is also offering special pricing on Fryeburg historical afghans ($30 each) and tote bags ($12 each). These make great gifts and are a beautiful depiction of Fryeburg landmarks. On Thursday, March 8, an open Reiki share will be offered free of charge to the public and to Reiki practitioners. Join Soulful Journeys at Spice and Grain on Portland Street from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and experience this healing modality. Donations are always welcome to help defray the cost of the meeting room. In case you missed last month’s premiere event art lovers around the world experienced (or you loved it so much you want to see it again), here is a second chance to view Leonardo Live. Captured at the U.K. National Gallery, Leobard Live is a satellite-delivered HD presentation of the once-in-a-lifetime exhibition “Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan.” Due to popular demand, the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center will broadcast this encore event on Thursday, March 8, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $18 adults, $15 seniors and $10 students. Group rates are available for parties of ten or more. For more information visit www.fryeburgacademy. org/pac or contact the box office at (207) 935-9232. see next page Bathing & Styling Salon
