A 2011-2012 Cape Courier series by Ellen Van Fleet follows the development of the Civil War through the eyes of people who lived in Cape Elizabeth 150 years ago. Cape Elizabeth author Paul J. Ledman’s book, “A Maine Town Responds,” is the main guide. Small en- tries in the Courier capture the news and concerns as events unfolding outside of Cape Elizabeth thrust their way into the local consciousness. News items from the Edward I. Woodbury Portland Transcript are printed verbatim.

Edwards has been a featured artist at the Somerville Museum’s “Art of Mosaic” show and has done art installations for numerous hospitals and public spaces. Her shows have been a popular stop along Portland’s Art Walk in 2010 and 2011. “Simply put, I love glass. I love the tex- tures, variety of colors, shapes, sizes, refl ec- tions, even the sound it makes when I’m scoring and cutting it,” Edwards said. “Glass Musical storyteller, Jennifer Armstrong allows me to take a thousand little pieces of will lead families and young children in color and turn them into a fl owing representa- singing and dreaming together at 11 a.m. tion of my very active imagination.
