Retired teachers John McIlvain and his wife, Elizabeth Sky-McIlvain, acquired their first sculpture about 20 years ago an abstract stone and wood creation called “Little Buddha” by Herb Ferris they placed in their Georgetown garden.
Currently covered in snow, it sits in a circular raised garden on grounds they normally open to visitors every spring when there’s not a pandemic.
“We love the idea that people can see these things, and with some luck might also go and buy some [for themselves] because it’s nice to support the artists who do wonderful things, many of whom are from Maine,” McIlvain says.

New brew for a cause
Brew Pipeline has announced the launch of a new collaboration with Potosi Brewing Company and Pink Boots Society – Rosa Stiefel. German for “pink boots,” this Hefeweizen made with real grapefruit will be available for a summer release throughout the country. $2 from every case sold will go toward Pink Boots Society’s scholarship program to assist, inspire and encourage women beer professionals to advance their careers through education. But, in time for International Women’s Month this March, Rosa Stiefel will be on shelves in seven initial markets, including Philadelphia.
Megan Ellsworth s vocals invite listeners to sway like prairie grass in the breeze. Her indie-folk songs call to mind sunlight on the face, birds chirping in the distance and worries fading away. But a sadness lurks beneath the pleasant sounds.
Ellsworth, who performs under the name ELLSWORTH and just dropped her self-titled debut, has plenty to be sad about. After all, she’s a member of the generation that grew up after the 9/11 attacks, in a country with two perpetual wars, weekly school shootings, crippling student-loan debt, a planet poised to expel us and now a lethal pandemic. Who wouldn t be bummed out after all this?
