‘Round here….

Jaime Ellsworth and several folks from the Animal Shelter visited a pet rescue place in Utah last week - here's Jaime with her new friend, Bo Bo.

Sunny days ahead….let’s see what’s up…

• Jamie (above) reported she found a new friend in Utah:

“This is Bo Bo, he is one of the Michael Vick pit bulls rescued by Best Friends. He ripped my heart out – all he wanted to do was put his head under my chin and be held tightly in my arms.  I was going to take him for a walk but he just wanted to be held. So that’s what we did, I sat and held him. His body was all scarred up from fighting.  I know he will get a good home!”

John Sinclair at Concepia.....

• I like the way John Sinclair has his shop set up, since he re-located Concepia at the old IMA spot (and before that the Springtree Restaurant, and a few other things) across from Wells Fargo on Spring Street. He says Concepia will include  more retail items, as well as  a nice porch to come sit – drop by & see what he’s doing!

• A little over a week ago, Darren & Lisa welcomed Arriana Eva-Mae O’Brien…since they own & run SanJuanIslandsTV, naturally they put her onscreen right away. Here’s her first vid, and a chance for you to meet her:

• Margaret Johnson wants you to get this on your calendar (everyone is welcome!):

The San Juan County Democrats will hold their quarterly meeting on Saturday, June 12th, at 11:30 at the Garden Path Café on San Juan Island. Please contact Ruth Fleming at 360-298-1374 or Margaret Johnson at 360-472-0123 if you have any questions, or if you need a ride or directions.

Meanwhile, you can keep up with the local GOP on their website – check it here.

• This week – the interisland ferry switches to the Hiyu…here’s the scoop from WSF:

Beginning Monday, May 24 through the Memorial Day weekend the 34 car Hiyu will replace the 87 car Evergreen State on the inter island route. Customers should plan ahead for this temporary capacity reduction and expect longer wait times. While the Hiyu is serving the route, the 11:05 a.m. sailing from Friday Harbor will take inter-island traffic to Lopez.

WSF is moving vessels to conduct a required emergency response exercise on Tuesday, May 25, and to complete necessary repairs on the 124-car Chelan. When the Chelan repairs are completed (after the holiday weekend), the 90-car Sealth will serve the inter-island route. We apologize for the inconvenience.
