		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Lopez has been an advocate for music education for many years and is a popular lecturer on the arts in New England. He has given lectures for the European Piano Teachers Association in Amsterdam. He maintains active studios in New Hampshire at Phillips Exeter Academy and St. Paul's School, having graduated several students to major conservatories in the U.S. including Juilliard Prep, Oberlin College, Manhattan School of Music, Mannes College, and the University of Southern California.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h6><a href="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GeorgeLopez.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="GeorgeLopez" src="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/GeorgeLopez_thumb.jpg" alt="GeorgeLopez" width="188" height="240" align="right" border="0" /></a></h6>
<p>George Sebastian Lopez, pianist, has been featured across the globe as recitalist, soloist with orchestra, and collaborator. Mr. Lopez received critical acclaim for his interpretation of Bach&#8217;s Goldberg Variations at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and performed the complete cycle of Beethoven Piano Concertos in his last two concert seasons. He was invited by The International Holland Music Sessions, now one of the top performing arenas for up-and-coming musicians in Europe, to go on a world tour where he performed in Paris, London, Cologne, New York&#8217;s Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, and in Los Angeles where he was hailed by the Los Angeles Times for his &#8220;. . . musical perspective, continuity, and kaleidoscopic colors.&#8221; He also performed Gershwin&#8217;s Rhapsody in Blue to a capacity crowd with the NH Music Festival Orchestra. Last June he gave recitals in Switzerland and Holland and in October 2008 played Chopin&#8217;s First Piano Concerto. He premiered a piano concerto written for him by Romeo Melloni, an Italian composer from Milan, which he recorded with the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra in Prague with Maestro Paul Polivnick. He went on a West Coast tour in March 2010, performing solo and chamber music concerts as well as masterclasses in Seattle and Portland. Mr. Lopez performed at Brown University with renowned American composer David Amram for a weeklong residency, and his recent tour of chamber music concerts in Australia garnered an invitation to the Kowmung Music Festival next year.</p>
<p>His chamber music collaborations have included the Emerson String Quartet, the Rainier Quartet, the Incanto Ensemble of Germany, and the Aurea Ensemble of Providence, along with members of some of the top orchestras in the country with whom he plays regularly at the New Hampshire Music Festival. He was invited by the Montclaire String Quartet to open their concert season with Brahms Piano Quintet in F Minor at the Clay Center for the Arts in Charleston, West Virginia, where he is a frequent guest artist. Most recently, he performed a recital with cellist Emmanuel Feldman in Boston&#8217;s Jordan Hall, giving a world premiere performance of Jan Swafford&#8217;s In Time of War for cello and piano.</p>
<p>Mr. Lopez has been an advocate for music education for many years and is a popular lecturer on the arts in New England. He has given lectures for the European Piano Teachers Association in Amsterdam. He maintains active studios in New Hampshire at Phillips Exeter Academy and St. Paul&#8217;s School, having graduated several students to major conservatories in the U.S. including Juilliard Prep, Oberlin College, Manhattan School of Music, Mannes College, and the University of Southern California.</p>
<p>Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Belize by Mayan parents, George Lopez started playing the piano at the fairly late age of 11. Upon returning to the U.S., he won his first orchestral competition at 14 in Texas and two years later was awarded a full scholarship to The Hartt School of Music. After graduating with honors, he went to Paris on a Franco-American study grant and was given a unanimous First Prize for the Diplôme supérieur. He completed his Masters Degree cum laude in Amsterdam.</p>
<p>In addition to the New Hampshire Symphony, Mr. Lopez has appeared with the Granite State Symphony Orchestra, the Midcoast Symphony Orchestra of Maine, the Fort Smith Symphony in Arkansas, and has performed Beethoven&#8217;s Third Piano Concerto in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometime on the morning of Friday, February 3<sup>rd</sup> three cats were abandoned at the Kennebec Valley Humane Society (KVHS). When staff discovered the cats they were in two cages unable to look for warmer shelter, very cold and shivering after being left outside in below freezing weather for an unknown amount of time. No information was left about the cats. Overall the cats seem fine, although one seems to have a cold, likely from exposure to the frigid weather.</p>
<p><a href="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cat1.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="cat1" border="0" alt="cat1" src="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cat1_thumb.jpg" width="468" height="480" /></a></p>
<p><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>“What’s so disappointing about this situation is that it was completely unnecessary,” said Hillary Roberts, KVHS Executive Director. “Seven days a week we have staff available to take in stray or abandoned animals, so there is never a reason for community members to simply dump animals at our facility, particularly when the temperatures are so low and could seriously harm these animals or even lead to death.” Roberts says that the cats were left on the loading deck of the shelter, an area that donations are often dropped off at. </p>
<p><a href="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cat2.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="cat2" border="0" alt="cat2" src="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cat2_thumb.jpg" width="464" height="484" /></a></p>
<p>“We had staff available that could have taken these cats in from the people who could no longer care for them. This way, the cats would not have been left outside in the freezing cold in cages with no way to find warmer shelter, and we could have collected information about them such as any vaccination histories or their ages. The most important thing to our team at KVHS is, however, that no animal is left to suffer outdoors in these temperatures.”</p>
<p><u></u><u><a href="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cat3.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="cat3" border="0" alt="cat3" src="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cat3_thumb.jpg" width="519" height="484" /></a></u></p>
<p><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Roberts says she hopes that community members in need of surrendering their animals will do this responsibly and not abandon pets outside at KVHS or any other location. Winter can be a very dangerous time of year for pets to be left outside and the low temperatures can lead to frostbite, hypothermia, or death.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>“Things could have turned out very differently for these animals if they hadn’t been found quickly or had been abandoned in the evening. Luckily, the three cats abandoned at our shelter were found early enough that they are expected to have a full recovery. They are now warm and safe, which is the most important thing. Eventually they will be available for adoption and will have a second chance for a loving home, which is what our work is all about here at KVHS” said Roberts.</p>
<p><u></u><u><a href="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/catcage.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="catcage" border="0" alt="catcage" src="http://thevalleyvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/catcage_thumb.jpg" width="513" height="484" /></a></u></p>
<p><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Hillary Roberts also says that the shelter’s ability to provide shelter, food, medical care, and a second chance to animals just like these three cats is made possible by donations from local people committed to helping local animals in need. Any one interested in donating to KVHS can do so online at <a href="http://www.pethavenlane.org/">www.pethavenlane.org</a> or by sending a check to <u></u><u></u>10 Pet Haven Lane<u></u>, <u></u>Augusta<u></u>, <u></u>ME<u></u> <u></u>04330<u></u><u></u>. For more information please contact Kennebec Valley Humane Society at <a href="tel:%28207%29%20626-3491">(207) 626-3491</a>.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>AUGUSTA, Maine – Augusta resident and naturopathic practitioner Christopher Maloney has written a children’s book about Lithgow Public Library’s colorful history titled <em>Two Pennies:  A Living History</em> <em>Mystery.</em>  He is donating a portion of book sales to the capital campaign to expand and renovate the historic library.</p>
<p>The idea for a mystery-thriller set in the stacks at Lithgow Library came to Maloney shortly after his youngest son was born.  Maloney spent hours at Lithgow, browsing the stacks while baby Colin napped.  As his son grew, they attended Toddler Time and other Youth Services programs, until Lithgow Library felt like a second home.</p>
<p>“While walking around with Colin I started noticing the stained glass windows, the ornate woodwork and the beautiful architecture of the building, which got me interested in the library’s history,” Maloney said.  “Once I started digging, I was surprised by the fascinating stories that came to light.”</p>
<p>Maloney translated the history lesson into a children’s book because he wanted history to come alive for his sons and their friends.   Buried in the foundation of the century-old Lithgow Library, the story goes, are secrets from another century. Two modern-day sleuths search for the truth about the Masons, the Knights Templar, and the mysterious ghost boy – all while learning about events in Augusta’s past.</p>
<p>Maloney partnered on the project with his 100-year-old grandfather, Roy LeRoy, whose eventful life inspired him to take the plunge into writing. The amateur detectives in <em>Two Pennies</em> are loosely modeled on classmates of his older son, Atticus, and the lively illustrations are the work of 12-year-old artist Tessa Gervais, another classmate.</p>
<p>The book is available for purchase at Lithgow Library or may be ordered online at <a href="http://www.createspace.com/3687078.">www.createspace.com/3687078.</a></p>
<p>“When I was spending all those hours with my son at Lithgow Library, it made me feel a real connection to the generations that came before,” Maloney said.  “By supporting the library’s expansion plan through sales of <em>Two Pennies</em>, I’m contributing to the promise the library holds for future generations.”</p>
<p>Lithgow Library is located at 45 Winthrop Street in Augusta.  For more information, call the library at 626-2415 or visit the library’s website at <a href="http://www.lithgow.lib.me.us/">www.lithgow.lib.me.us</a>.</p>
