For this week’s book review we have taken the most recent winners of Lopez Library’s Winter Adult Reading Program.
Friday Harbor’s Islands Museum of Art opens Art Wolfe’s “Travels to the Edge,” an exhibition of photographs from the award winning American Public Broadcasting series of the same name. A lecture by Wolfe “Between Heaven and Earth” will be held 6-7 p.m. Saturday at San Juan Community Theatre.
On Friday from 5 – 8 p.m. the Lopez School multipurpose room will be full of fun for the Winter Carnival and Silent Auction. This event is run to raise funds for the fifth-grade trip to Islandwood, an environmental learning center on Bainbridge Island.
Fire!
Contestants who sign up on the site can take a stab at guessing the winners of some of the top Oscar categories, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress and more. The winner takes home an 18-DVD set of past Best Picture winners.
You don’t have to be a conservationist to appreciate the importance of the San Juan Island beauty. In fact it is a non-scienfitifc, artistic appreciation that Peter Fromm and Emily Reed are looking for.
Stellium in Pisces
Something that always stands out about Lopez Island is the number of very talented artists residing here.
On Feb 26. at 11 a.m. in Woodeman Hall, San Juan artist Lavelle Foos will show and play her Native American flutes.
Steve Heller is excited. It seems like the natural reaction to fast-paced images of extreme sports, but he is also excited to be bringing such adrenaline filled films to Lopez.
Moving Toward Spring
This is a story of many stories. It is a story of Danish sailors and family feuds. Of marriages, deaths, gunshot wounds and stormy rescues. This, believe it or not, is the story of Lopez.
If you were in the Galley restaurant last Friday, you may have encountered a small case of identity crises. Although it was the familiar members of the band the “Hip Waders” playing, they were not able to advertise themselves as that. All that was to be seen on the Galley’s notice board prior to the show, was the promise of “live music.”
