THE GIFT OF GIVING. When Gary Stevens of the York Water District was honored by the Maine Water Utilities Association for his stunning photograph of a young fawn making its way across a York pond, he decided to use his artwork to give back by selling prints of "Fawn at Middle Pond" to benefit the Mount Agamenticus Conservation Initiative. On Dec. 19, Stevens presented Conservation Coordinator Robin Stanley, seen here with members of the Mount A Steering Committee, with a check for the $1008 raised so far. The prints remain on sale through the York Water District, and make a perfect holiday gift. View the photo through the town's website at www.yorkmaine.org/Portals/0/CCR2006%20Red.pdf and visit or call the York Water District at 363-2265 for more details.
