Our Library…volunteers make it happen!
Written on April 20, 2009 at 12:05 am, by Ian Byington
Since I volunteer at the Library at times, I got to go to yesterday’s Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon sponsored by the Friends of the Library at the Peppermill. It was great…the food was good, the company was good, and it gave me an appreciation for all the work that gets done at our library. Volunteer coordinator Diana Warner Continue Reading
The hypnotist was awesome….
Written on April 20, 2009 at 12:05 am, by Ian Byington
Scott the hypnotist held 400 people in his hand with his performance Friday night…if you get a chance to ask anyone who was there, they’ll tell you it was pretty cool. That’s (from left) Zack Reitan, Parker Satin, Jimmy Chaffee, and Ryan Cole (front) before the show got going, in a shot by Jim Cole, with Continue Reading

Sports update….
Written on April 20, 2009 at 12:01 am, by Ian Byington
Quick notes: The baseball express rolled on, as the boys thumped Granite Falls Friday night 9-0 before sweeping two at Orcas on Saturday. The softball girls lost their doubleheader at Orcas Saturday, while the soccer boys nearly jumped Washington High in Tacoma Friday night, riding Conor Lanphere’s goal to a 1-1 tie till the hosts Continue Reading

Orbison show online this morning….
Written on April 19, 2009 at 10:22 pm, by Ian Byington
Since Pat O’Day used to set up dances with Roy Orbison’s band back in the 1960s (with a group called the Wailers, featuring a guy named Kent Morrill), it was only natural he’d set up Sunday night’s show. Last night’s show in the Community Theatre is already online…an outfit called Tour TV Online filmed the Continue Reading
Poisoned waters…keeping yourself informed….
Written on April 19, 2009 at 6:53 am, by Ian Byington
The equivalent of an Exxon Valdez dumped off our cars into Puget Sound from traffic every couple of years…does that get your attention? I got a note from the People For Puget Sound about a don’t-miss show on tv tonight…here’s more: Please take the time tomorrow night at 9 PM to watch the KCTS-9 special Continue Reading
New gas station…at Roche!
Written on April 16, 2009 at 11:24 pm, by Ian Byington
There’s a new little place to get some gas at Roche Harbor…it’s located at the top of the parking lot way in back of the hotel (like, up the hill) – you’ll see it when you first come to the resort.I saw it last week, but wasn’t sure it was open…it is. Far as I Continue Reading

Written on April 16, 2009 at 11:04 pm, by Ian Byington

All is well. Forrest Harrison Goodremont. Look forward to seeing you all on the island soon.
The Community Foundation begins its grant cycle…time to apply!
Written on April 16, 2009 at 11:01 pm, by Ian Byington
I love what our Community Foundation does for our island…take a peek at their website (it’s here: http://www.sjicf.org) and you’ll get the idea (I love their website, by the way…it makes understanding what they do really easy.) Well, it’s time for the annual request for grants – here’s the info from SJICF’s Susan Matthews: The Continue Reading

Restorative yoga…ahhhhh….
Written on April 15, 2009 at 11:59 pm, by Ian Byington
One of the great things about Stephanie Hubber’s yoga place at Shantaya Yoga (next to the airport, above Ravenhill Construction) is all the different kinds of yoga classes you can take, offered by different instructors. That’s Stephanie getting Adam Saccio ready for the next pose in Restorative Yoga, which the Shantaya website describes like this: Continue Reading
Lost cat!
Written on April 15, 2009 at 11:30 pm, by Ian Byington
One of the cool things about reading the Update is helping your neighbors…remember about three years ago when Francesca’s dog was missing, we posted it on the Update, and found that he had swam to Brown Island? Is this important news? Sure – to the folks missing their pet. So here’s a cat you might Continue Reading

Smoother ride ahead….
Written on April 15, 2009 at 9:10 pm, by Ian Byington
That’s the view up First Street in Friday Harbor on Thursday, looking towards the Whale Museum from the ferry lines as Town crews help re-pave the street as part of the sewer project. Might have to go around the block today to get around all this, but the new road will be smoother afterwards.
