The exhibit included original works in miniature painting, sculpture, and calligraphy from the United States and abroad. Ellis lives on the east shore of Rangeley Lake and paints small-scale, detailed watercolors of landscapes, skies, and figures of children. Waterfowl also present a hazard to local aviators as the birds take flight when pilots are utilizing the Rangeley Region Airport and Rangeley Lake during take-off and landings. Feeding these birds often entices them to delay migration and become semi-permanent residents of our community. Hundreds of geese concentrating in and around the Town Park, City Cove, Haley Pond, and other areas of Rangeley Lake will cause water quality problems, become a nuisance to our area, and subject the population to diseases.
Water milfoil is highly invasive and can take our lakes and streams over in just a few years.
It is illegal to transport ANY aquatic plants on a vehicle, boat, personal watercraft, trailer, or other equipment. Water milfoil can and will ruin boating, fishing, swimming, fish habitats, devalue waterfront property, and reduce water quality to our lakes. Dispose of plants away from water. There is NO known method of eradicating invasive aquatic plants once they have become established .
