ISLAND
Fresh Start
Market
and Deli is
opening
I think summer is getting
close and I think that because
very shortly the Harstine Is-
land Farmers Market is going
to open. It's one of those things
that makes living here on the
island so wonderful. For two
hours every Saturday, one can
meet friends, buy great pro-
duce and find some very unique
and fascinating crafts. Thank
you Garden Club for all your
efforts to
keep this
event alive
and well.
This is
the week-
end for the
annual All
Island Spa-
MIKE ghetti Din-
CALLAGHAN
ner. Doors
will open
around 5 p.m, and stay open
until 8. You can't beat the cost
as adults are $6 and children
$3. There will be regular and
vegetarian sauces available for
those hot noodles. The event
has been going on for years.
First of all, the food is great
and there is plenty. Secondly,
this is one of the big fund rais-
ers for~the~ommunity hall. In
about three more years, the
hall will be 100 years old and a
building that age needs a lot of
tender loving care. There just
aren't many building around
this historic and we need to do
all we car to keep it up. Com-
munity club volunteers will
be making the spaghetti and
serving it, the Grange will be
making the mouth water-
ing desserts and the Theater
Club will serve the wine. It is
also that time of the year to
renew your Community Club
membership. I have to admit
Judy and I still haven't got our
check in yet, but I hope to be
"tracking down Jim Irving and
giving him our dues.

the c.ommlmity tha~ has

Nick Neuerburg sent us this
report: "On May 7, I attended,
by request of hosts Anne and
Dudley Panchot, a first of what
I would hope to be many neigh-
berhood disaster prep.aredness
meeting. The goal of the meet-
ing was to build and strength-
en the disaster readiness
among their own Point Wilson

Various resource guides and
handouts where distributed
and discussion on what one
might expect in case of major
disaster and what resources
the community had and how

Shelton woman wins
international illustration award

As a child, Joey Jor-
dan always dreamed and
daydreamed of imaginary
worlds and fantasy crea-
tures.
"I felt like I was look-
ing for this magical door to
take me to another world,"
she said.
After winning an in-
ternational science fiction
illustration contest this
year, it seems Jordan has
found that door.
The competition - the
L. Ron Hubbard Writers
of the Future contest - has
rocketed Jordan 6nto the
world of science fiction art,
and allowed her to make
connections that could
make her dreams of pro-
fessional fantasy illustra-
tion a reality.
Twelve ,writers and 12
illmaxators are. , dect
as winners out of thou-
sands of applicants to the
competition, organized by
Authors Services Incorpo-
rated (ASI), Jordan said.
The 12 winners in each
category then continue to
compete, and eventually
can compete for money,
she said. Jordan's particu-
lar trophy signifies her as
a Third Quarter Winner.
"It's an international
competition. We had two
people from Australia and
one from South Africa in
the winners," she said.
Jordan was selected as
a winner based on three
pieces she submitted. Af-
ter being selected a~ a
w(nner, Jordan flew to
California to participate in
a week and a half of work-
shops on sci-fi illustration.
"I got to go to Hollywood
and the Roosevelt Hotel...
they treated us like royal-
ty," she said.
Jordan said that the
competition is free to enter
and was created by science
fiction writer L. Ron Hub-
bard. The program is now
carried on by world fa-
mous science fiction writ-
ers and illustrators and is
designed to help encour-
age young, nonprofession-
al artists, according to the
contest.
Jordan said she heard
about the competition long
before she entered.
"When I was in the
army I had a friend that
had seen some of my illus-
trations - he told me about
the contest," she said. "I
never thought about en-
tering."

Sturdy as
By NATALIE JOHNSON
In the opening~ines of the
classic play "Fiddler on the
Roof," Tevye, the lead charac-
ter, says, "Without tradition
our lives would be as shaky as
a fiddler on a roof."
While its characters lives
are in upheaval, the iconic
play has stood sturdy over the
years, captivating audience
after audience.
Last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday night, after months
of practicing, the Shelton High
School presented the "Fiddler
on the Roof' to packed audito-
riums.
The musical play was obvi-
ously a huge undertaking for
the school, and was presented
in a little more than-three
hours. Three people, Chris
Fawcett, Chris Ward and Paul
Nahkla directed the piece.
The cast included about two
dozen students, and the or-
chestra had 21 members both
from the school and around
the community, including vio-
lin, viola, flue, clarinet, bass
clarinet, oboe, bassoon, trum-
pet, French horn, trombone,
percussion and keyboards.
"Fiddler on the Roof" fo-
cuses on a Jewish village in
Eastern Europe at the turn
of the century, dealing with
the encroachment of Russian
troops threatening pogroms,
or an attack on their village.

A chorus sings during the first act of the Shelton
High School's production of "Fiddler on the Roof"
this past Friday night.
The play focuses on one
poor family in pm;ticular, led
by the patriarch, Tevye, moth-
er, Golde, and five daughters.
Tevye is faced with trying
to follow tradition while his
world is changing.
In SHS's production, Senior
Travis Hanes plays Tevye,
and immediately captured the
audience with his animated
performance of "If I Were a
Rich Man."
Tevye truly steals the show
in "Fiddler" and Hanes was
particularly funny during Te-
vye's exasperated and hilari-
ous chats with God.
The rest of the cast was
also solid and performed their
lines and songs as if they'd
been doing it forever.
After budget cuts threat-
ened the future of the SHS
auditorium, supporters of the
school and its drama program
can take heart in the success,
both in terms of ticket sales,

latest project in front of the
Christmastown Quilters most
recent quilted creation.
By NATALIE JOHNSON
Lois Mince still patches together
quilts with a sewing machine bought
secondhand in Wisconsin almost 45
years ago.
"It's a Singer Featherlight," she said.
"It's basically an antique - I bought it
when I graduated college in 1967.
For the past five years, Mineo has
served as the president of Christmas-
town Quilters, a group of abeut 17 quilt-
crazy ladies who put their skills to good
use making blankets to donate, mostly
to Mason General Hospital for charit
events and for patients.
