Wellington resident wins full Navy ROTC scholarship

GUILFORD, Maine — Troy Violette, son of Paul and Charlotte Violette of Wellington, has been awarded a full scholarship to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., to pursue a degree in nuclear engineering. The scholarship is awarded by the Navy ROTC and carries an approximate value of $250,000.

“Troy comes from a family that believes in excellence and has a strong tradition of service to our country,” said Paul Stearns, superintendent of SAD 4 . “I am very proud of Troy’s achievements and the work of the faculty and staff in supporting him along the way.”

Violette graduated with the Class of 2011 from Piscataquis Community High School as the salutatorian. He will be commissioned as a Naval Officer upon graduating from RPI.

In brief: Keep it civil and stay on topic No vulgarity, racial slurs, name-calling or personal attacks. People who harass others or joke about tragedies will be blocked.

The primary rule here is pretty simple: Treat others with the same respect you'd want for yourself. Here are some guidelines ( see more ):

It should be noted this is not a comprehensive list.

Don't insult one another or the subjects of BDN stories. You may be ticked off at what someone did or said, but you can explain that without resorting to name-calling or obscenity. Remember that young people are on this site too. That nasty line that makes your buddies go "haw, haw"? You're better than that. Comments should be your own work, not copied and pasted from elsewhere, though brief quoted passages to make your point are fine. And please don't use all capital letters. There's no need to shout. Stay focused on the issue in the article. Off-topic posts will be deleted. This isn't a forum to chat about your personal life. Some ideas — the fate of the earth, abortion, gun control, the nature of God — aren't going to be resolved in a reader forum, so no need to get frustrated if others don't see your point of view. State your position once and leave it at that. If you mouse over each comment you will see a "Flag" button. Please use it if you feel comments on the site are out of line.

officenewswire: Guilford of Maine and Peopledesign introduce The ...

5.27.11 | Grand Rapids, MI | Guilford of Maine , the market leader in office panel fabrics, and Peopledesign have transformed the Guilford of Maine brand. The new brand identity launches at NeoCon 2011, June 13-15 in Chicago. Guilford of Maine’s Merchandise Mart showroom (Booth 1033A) will be transformed into a movie theater, opening Monday, June 13 with a public reception from 4:30-6:30pm.

Through key research-based recommendations from the Peopledesign creative team, Guilford of Maine has been redefined as industry-specific performance textiles, with collections focused on the Office, Education, and Healthcare markets. The tagline “The New Black” relates directly to the new brand identity, which employs black as a brand color, and speaks to the very real need for simplicity, efficiency, and performance in these markets.

“Guilford of Maine provides A&D specifiers with “go-to” fabrics that — just like that little black dress — work well with everything,” says Rob Harper , president of True Textiles, Guilford of Maine’s parent company. “The new, market-specific materials should clean up the noise in resource libraries, making life easier for specifiers, while giving them the freedom to explore a wider range of design possibilities.”

“We wanted to signal the change within the organization with a new brand identity,” says Yang Kim , vice president and executive creative director of Peopledesign. “The iconic pinked edging combined with a singular letter “G” creates a bug that blends history with present day; quickly placing Guilford within the textile industry while giving a nod to their manufacturing experience.”

Guilford of Maine is leveraging technology to provide designers with tools to quickly and easily request and receive samples, and help them make informed decisions about the appropriate attributes for each application. The new collections encourage designers to start their projects with a Guilford of Maine fabric as the foundation, allowing everything else to stand out. Access to the Guilford of Maine line has been simplified with a new website, a mobile version of which can be used on smart phones to quickly specify products.

Meet The New Black and see what all the quiet is about.
