"ENDINGS...AND NEW BEGINNINGS" AT THE ORCAS ISLAND LIBRARY
(Thursday, Jan 27 & Monday, Jan. 31)
An evening discussion about coping with a break-up and creating a new life. This discussion will be facilitated by Virginia Erhardt, Ph.D, Licensed Psychologist. There will be two sessions offered. For women, the meeting time will be Thursday, January 27th, 7:15pm to 9pm, and for men, Monday, January 31st, 7:15 to 9pm, in the Orcas Island Library Conference Room. When one is not the initiator, the end of a relationship is often experienced as a crisis-a trauma that calls into question one's identity, one's self-esteem, and even life's meaning. A break-up can be especially difficult in a small community, where one may feel more exposed and vulnerable. The cost is $5.00 per person for the evening, to be donated to the library. The class will be limited to 15 participants. Pre-registration is required, payment can be made at the meeting. For maximize privacy, the meetings will begin after the library is closed.
QUESTIONS & REGISTRATION: Email DrVerhardt@aol.com

#OrcasIsland and San Juan Islands are one of New York Times top Places to Go in 2011.
Orcas Island's Allium Restaurant and chef Lisa Nakamura are highlighted, as is the natural beauty of the San Juan Islands, with a special nod to the San Juan County Land Bank.

2. San Juan Islands, Wash.
Bold-face restaurateurs vie with unspoiled nature. Nature wins.
The big draw for the San Juan Islands this year just might be its dining scene. Blaine Wetzel, a former chef at the wildly acclaimed Copenhagen restaurant Noma, took the reins at Willows Inn on Lummi Island (due to reopen on Feb. 10), while Lisa Nakamura, who has trained with big-name chefs like Thomas Keller, opened Allium on Orcas Island.
But the eternal lure of the San Juans — what brings chefs out as well as tourists — are the landscapes. On islands from Shaw to Decatur, pastoral hills give way to broody forests and scrappy escarpments that overlook fjordlike inlets. Thanks to an active land preservation effort by organizations like the San Juan County Land Bank, each year new areas are protected from logging or unruly development, and in turn provide fresh terrain for the public to explore.
Last year, the San Juan Island National Historic Park grew by 312 acres with the purchase of densely forested Mitchell Hill. On Lopez Island, a 50-year lease signed by the state Department of Natural Resources in 2009 now protects the Lopez Hill area from logging; a web of public trails winds past mossy conifers and madrona trees with peeling cinnamon-red bark. And some smaller parcels have the air of a secret about them, like the spectacular Watmough Bay Preserve on Lopez, with a trail that leads to a strip of beach on a wooded inlet, its moody water as magically lighted as a Bierstadt painting.

New transportation tax? Voters may be asked for more to help pay for our ferries in the San Juan Islands
Ever since the repeal of the vehicle license tab fees, the state ferry system has been chugging along with no real funding. It's time to face the music.
