Allie Smith of New Beginnings paints a sandwich board for L/A Arts in Lewiston on Friday. Boards that were used to cover windows at New Beginnings’ Ann Geiger Center on College Street are being painted with messages of hope and placed in front of agencies around town. The window coverings were to prevent further vandalism after the drop-in center for youth was burglarized and vandalized this spring. Smith said L/A Arts donated the paint and brushes and asked that a New Beginnings youth paint a design. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
