Coronation Continued from page B-1 Festival theme, which were re- viewed before the competition as well as an on-stage recitation of the essay. After last year's queen, Taylor Robecker, sang the the national anthem, all 12 contestants per- formed a dance to a song from the Disney movie "Alladin." After introducing themselves, each contestant answered the question, "If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and what would you do?" posed by Robecker. Cervantes answered that she would travel to forward her goals of working in forestry. "I would go to Africa ... they have some great forest land there," she said. Taylor answered that he wouldn't limit himself to just this world. "I would travel to a different world and ... instruct people how to live in union," he said. "With- out all the greed that there is here." During the essay portion, all the contestants stood up and re- cited their essay, which was sup- posed to have the theme "Forest Tales." Eddy, who won the award for best essay, spoke about her ex- periences living on a Christmas tree farm. "If a Christmas tree could talk, what forest tales would it tell?" she said. Debi Harvey, president of the Forest Festival board took the opportunity during the pageant to ask for continued support from the community. She also gave out awards for Forest Festival but- ton designs. "We need people to work on the float, help with the parade and there are several positions on the board," she said.

A little bit of sad news for the island, Margaret Elizabeth (Glaser) Sim- mons, passed away Mon- day, Feb. 14, 2011 at home in Lacey, Washington. She was 82 years young, born November 16, 1928. Margaret was the sixth and last child to Hugo A. Glaser and Celia F. (Yen- nie) Glaser, of Harstine Is- land. Margaret grew up on Harstine where she attend- ed grade school then went on to graduate from Irene S. Reed High School in Shelton, Class of 1946. She loved to laugh and dance and often commented about how much fun was had at the community hall, shaking the rafters on that old building. She married Lauren E. Simmons in 1947, they had two children. At Margaret's request there will beno service, but she will be laid to rest at the BalloT Cemetery on her be- loved Harstine Island, when the weather is warmer and the days are nicer. Tara Rigby sent me this note about the mobile food bank she is trying to get started for us. She is the Community Health Promot- er for Mason Matters. I'm not sure if the meeting was held on the February 24, but if it wasn't the meeting has been rescheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 10. If that occurs and you have invited other people to the meeting please let them know of the change. Tara ap- preciates all of you and your willingness to come see what we are working towards in bringing food security ser- vices to our community. It's this type of volunteer spirit that is so needed in our com- munity and it is greatly ap- preciated. • The island sewing group is planning this years meet- ing schedule.
