the daughter of William and Magdalena (Fiener) Laengst
Her education was a limited patchwork of 10 public schools in 10 years in New York City
where she lived until she married the Philadelphia artist Roy Lewando in 1948
and she moved to where she had established roots when she booked as a model at the Ogunquit School of Painting and Sculpture before she married
From 1964 to 1992 she worked for the York County Coast Star as a writer
The New England Press Association awarded her first-place prize for editorial writing in 1983
which prompted the Maine State Legislature to pass a bill in her honor
she was instrumental in establishing the Westbrook College Permanent Photography Collection
she became education coordinator at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art
Lewando took roles in plays staged by Ogunquit Community Theater
She created and presented a short theater piece
"Enter the Painting's Dream," devised as a progenitor for discussion on the questions: What do we want from art
She was a member of the Ogunquit Art Association as a painter from 1950 to 1954; as a photographer since 1992
Self-described as a primitive in a technological medium
she saw her later work as visualizations of the life of the soul
experienced before birth; in dreams; comas; after death
Her interest in corporeal matters was manifest in her commitment to community and the environment
including the Ogunquit Shellfish Conservation Commission
It became her mission in 1996 to open the Ogunquit clam flats (that had been closed for eight years)
and she was successful after five months of monitoring
In 1997 she transplanted 1,650 individual clams from the flats to barren areas in the upper estuary
She regarded these attainments as signals of the plausibility of individual action
Her municipal service otherwise included membership on the cable commission and committees to establish a building moratorium; revise the comprehensive plan; revise the zoning ordinance; and make a museum of the Winn House
She spearheaded a suit in 1975 against the United States Department of Agriculture for burying a mile of dunes under a dike of inland fill in a project billed as beach restoration
she served on the board of the American Civil Liberties Union's Maine affiliate
she joined other activists engaged in two attempts to halt construction of the Seabrook (N.H.) nuclear power plant by occupying the site
Lewando and her daughter-in-law Caitlin (Deppe)
of Ogunquit; and by a circle of friends whom she regarded as her spiritual family

Hailing all the way from Munich, Germany, Julian Wassermann is a rising House and Techno star whose dark and progressive tracks are taking the world by storm. Coming off of his new EP Extase & Manie and a recent support by deadmau5 himself
Wassermann sat down with us and answered a few of our burning questions
where he’ll bring his unique style to a stacked lineup of Techno talent
So tune in to Julian Wassermann’s exclusive guest mix and read on to find what it’s like to get support from one of the scene’s biggest artists
how Greek architecture has inspired his songwriting
After the first club visits I fell in love with electronic music and started to produce my own tracks
Sometimes it’s a little more melodic track
but also diggin’ the simple techno tracks for the dancefloor
we were thinking about special places in Munich
an impressive and powerful architecture in the middle of the beautiful ‘English garden’
as we had a powerful baseline and a beautiful melody
:) That’s roughly how the title came along
I was incredibly happy that day and had to send my manager one million party emojis because we’re both fans of his music
That was definitely my track “Sol”
I started with the melody and then made the baseline
From then on I knew it could be a big number
I left the idea behind for some time to finalize the arrangement at a certain distance
it was not easy to create the perfect composition
My favorite track at the moment is “Britannia” from Undercatt
I recently tested the promo in a club and was impressed by the reaction of the audience
Let me think… the Kappa Futur Festival in Torino would be crazy
My second release on Wassermann (Warner Music) comes in November
The track is called “Painfully” with a very emotional vocal part
My favorite beer is the ‘Tegernseer’
