Week 7: Structure; Profile; Lecture

It’s a beautiful sunny day, everyone just killing time waiting for the work day to go by. He walks in like any other customer. She leans over “Is that who I think it is?” People are unsure if he should be treated just like anyone else or better. He isn’t really famous but he truly a local celebrity. Being on TV makes you famous in most Mainer eyes.  At the counter he places his order “Can I please have two chicken Caesar salads and a two Diet Coke’s”. Just like any other order that day, it’s in and out.  Once everyone finds out that his wife Judy has a store in downtown Orono and we see him on a regular base at the Harvest Moon Deli, then he no longer seemed famous.   

Pastor Smith takes his place in the front of his congregation, and is ready to preach the word of god. He is looking to lead his members into the arms of the Lord. He is part of the community in Orono always offering a helping hand to the members of the United Methodist and anyone that may be in need. In his words “Our passion is being part of a church family, while witnessing God’s love and grace being connected to the lives of those in our community and beyond.” In May of 2009 he graduated from Bangor Theological Seminary and in July of that year he became the pastor.

It’s 6pm time for the local news, you turn on WLBZ NEWS CENTER 2.  You get to see our very own TV weather man Steve MacKay. He has been part of WLBZ news team since 1994; he has been approved by the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association.  He has a passion providing us with the most accurate weather and supporting the community in any way he can. Steve says, "One of the best things about my job is visiting schools to talk to kids about weather." He is lending a helping hand to our local school system getting the children excited about the world around them.
