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.”
On Feb. 18, at 7p.m. George Hunt, research professor, UW Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences, will deliver the third talk in the 2010 Arthur Whiteley Lecture Series.
On Saturday the Oregon Shadow Theatre presents their show “The green bird: a Mexican story” as part of the on going series “puppets on the rock.” The company are preforming under the auspices of the Lopez based Northwest Puppet Center. The center’s creative directors, Chris and Stephen Carter, received requests for puppet theatre appropriate for all ages, and so the idea for the “puppets on the rock” series was born. This was designed to organize and host a variety of quality puppet theatre, and Saturday’s show promises to be just that.
Adapting/Embracing
Just this weekend I completed the last of the “Twilight” series, “Breaking Dawn”. Being a mother of grown children, you would think I would be so past this genre for my reading picks. Instead I did find the books a bit addicting and pushed on through the couple of thousand of pages or so. Stephanie Meyer is quite the plotter, knowing just how to grab her readers at the right time.
Fred Ellis, a founding member of the San Juan Preservation Trust, passed away in his historic Shaw Island home on the morning of Feb. 5 at age 93. Fred served on SJPT’s board of trustees for 29 of the organization’s 30-year history, and – with his family – donated more than 1,400 acres of land and conservation easements on Shaw and Lopez islands.
