Anneli Skaar loves design. Through her company Skaar Design, she does branding, advertising, editorial and website design and illustration. And she feels good design should be for everyone.

This show is about Anneli and design. And, of course, you’ll hear the news from PenBayPilot.com and stories Wolf has gathered from around the web, the weather and some songs to help get your day started.

Anneli Skaar was born in San Francisco, California in 1969 to Norwegian immigrants and her passion for painting and drawing was supported and nurtured from a very young age. Due to her strong connection to her ancestral home in Scandinavia, as well as being raised fluent in Norwegian, Anneli moved to Norway and applied, and was accepted, to the National Academy of Arts in Oslo where she received her B.A. in graphic design and illustration. During this time she also lived and worked at the Oslo studio of the extraordinarily talented, but controversial, Norwegian figurative painter Odd Nerdrum, an experience which left an indelible mark on her perspective as an artist and designer. Additionally, she spent a year with art studies in the Telemark region of Norway, and worked in residence at the British School in Rome, Italy, focusing on intaglio printmaking.

Anneli spent a total of 12 years living and working in the creative field in Norway, until moving back to the United States in 1999 and continuing her work here. She moved to Camden, Maine to start a family in 2005, a place she calls home today.

The Pink Panther Strikes The Chris Wolf Show.

The world’s most unusual criminologist, Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau fights for his life and for the future of all mankind in the most bizarre and dangerous caper of his brilliantly successful and utterly clumsy career. At the critical moment, it suddenly appears that Clouseau is finally running out of luck but as that fateful moment arrives, Clouseau fires from the hip and hits – our funny bone!

In this show, Chris Wolf hosted five lovely young ladies from the cast of the Camden Rockport Middle School presentation of the “The Pink Panther Strikes Back” which was presented at the Camden Opera House Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21.

Ben Perry is the curator and historian of the RDHS Alumni Heritage room at the Lincoln Street Center, formerly the High School.

This show is about the old Rockland High School, about what has happened in the past and what’s happening how. It’s a great show for alumni of RDHS as well as those interested in the history of Rockland Maine. As always, Ben is an engaging guest with many stories and a lot of comedy.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to simply dust off your bicycle, hop aboard and head off for perhaps Tampa or maybe the Gaspe Peninsula – with no support beyond what you can comfortably carry? Where would you sleep? What type of route would you take? How would you deal with the weather? What kinds of interaction should you expect?

Ron Tesler and Ron Staschak are Rockland residents and will talk about touring the world on two wheels as well as this summer’s “Lobster Ride”.

On Monday April 20, morning, 7-8 a.m., PenBayPilot.com and “The Chris Wolf Show” hosted Meg Quijano of The Smiling Cow in Camden.

This year is the 75th anniversary of the Smiling Cow.

75 years in the same place is a long time for any business. We never know exactly where Chris in the show will go in their conversations with guests, but there were many interesting stories about this Camden icon and the three generations of family that have run it.

Chris will be talking about Aldemere Farm projects as well as upcoming cattle shows for the Belted Galloways.

Kristen is a massage therapist, a singer, comedian, an actress and a lot of fun. She has performed in the New Vaudeville Review produced in Belfast and previously broadcast on Maine Coast TV as well as other theatrical productions. She also performs in a local band.

This show was very spontaneous and interesting.

Wednesday, May 6, PenBayPilot.com and “The Chris Wolf Show” hosted David Lamon, the new Executive Director of Herring Gut Learning Center in Port Clyde.

We’ve probably all heard the name Herring Gut, but many of us are unfamiliar with the wonderful things it does. Herring Gut is a unique educational opportunity for students of all ages.

Herring Gut’s Saltwater Laboratory, located adjacent to Port Clyde’s working waterfront and a historic lobster pound, includes an algae room and shellfish hatchery, offering education and research opportunities that address current challenges to sustaining marine resources for future generations.

Herring Gut has a number of programs including engaging public school students in grades 6-12 who are academically at risk, using a hands-on, entrepreneurial, business-based model to keep them in school. It also trains teachers in engaging, hands-on instruction that increases student interest and comprehension in science, math, history and the arts. It connects academic concepts with local ecosystems and fisheries in customized, hands-on classes for groups of public school students. And it offers a first work experience in the summer for local teens ages 13-15.

David Lamon is a teacher, administrator, naturalist, and environmental scientist. As an avid outdoor enthusiast, David can most often be found close to water, either salty or fresh.

David’s past projects have included environmental restoration for diadromous fish passage, water quality monitoring work, and longitudinal research on Mount Desert Island’s common loon population. David has incorporated citizen science into each of these areas and enjoys creating opportunities for people young and old to connect with their local environment. He has served in both volunteer and staff leadership roles for a number of Maine non-profit organizations.

David also has a background in performance art and arts administration, and when he’s not outdoors you can often find him in a theater or gleefully gliding across a dance floor somewhere.

What’s happening up on Mt. Battie?

Locals tend to take Mt. Battie for granted and usually only notice it when the star is lit up. But Mt. Battie is visited by thousands of people each year and is a valuable part of what makes us special.

Built in 1920, the Mt. Battie tower has weathered winter storms and summer sun for many years. They have taken their toll.

On Monday, April 27, PenBayPilot.com and “The Chris Wolf Show” hosted Heather Moran and Randy Stearns from Friends of Mt. Battie. You’ll find out the what’s happening with the tower and who knows what else (there’s no controlling Chris!).
