"(Steve and Jill Olson) had done it before:~: Jill Olson said she and Bekkah Weineberger, who are sharing directing duties, thought about other plays be- fore picking "Annie."

Crossing the bridge, I think I've noticed two new lights leading on and off. I kind of like this new enlighten- ment -- it jazzes up the bridge a little. As I understand it, when the light poles were first put up to light the whole way, residents had some fun shooting them out By MIKE CALLAGHAN until PUD 3 finally said enough and discontinued lighting the bridge at night. The second in the series of Inquiring Minds pre- sentations will be at 2 p.m. Satur- day. Remember, last month there was standing room only left in our old hall, so get there early.

A few notes from Judie's min- utes from the February Harst- ine Island Community Club (HICC) meeting: There were 50 people in attendance. Shelleen explained the short-term hall rental agreement requires non- HICC members to obtain insur- ance for usage of the hall and pay a refundable deposit. The club is hoping to have the indoor / outdoor garage sale March 30. I say hoping because if they don't get a chairman, the event will be canceled. The March 7 women's club meeting will feature a book sale and an auction of home- made gift items. On March 16, a craft day is scheduled at the hall -- teachers and participants are needed. Looks like last year's pie contest was such a success that another one will be planned for Sept. 28 -- so start work- ing on those recipes.
