THE ADDAMS FAMILY, A NEW MUSICAL COMEDY

Calling all actors, designers, artists, singers, dancers, and technicians who would like major involvement in putting on our next big musical. We will listen to music, read scenes, and discuss our vision for the summer production. Join us for a night to learn more about the many opportunities there are to be involved with this year’s summer musical, The Addams Family! For more information call 360-496-5022.
Scott Freeman, author of “Saving Tarboo Creek” and distinguished University of Washington professor, will give a talk on his recent book, “Saving Tarboo Creek.”
According to Scott, “My talk will focus on our effort to continue Aldo Leopold’s legacy in ecological restoration, now 80 years and three generations in the family later. Over the past 15 years, small and encouraging triumphs in reforestation and remeandering set Tarboo Creek on the path to becoming a high-functioning salmon stream again, after decades of degradation. But now we are encountering challenges and potential setbacks: a reed canary infestation, the impact of the hot-water “Blob” on salmon returning to Puget Sound, and a proposal from a private security company to build a paramilitary training center near the creek’s headwaters. Responding to these issues is a reminder that community-based conservation is a lifelong process–one that ties us to each other and to the land.”
To continue the conversation, prior to and after Scott’s talk, representatives from local conservation agencies and organizations will be on hand to provide information on ways local landowners and the community can get involved with salmon restoration projects and activities.
Free light refreshments will be available.

There are more than the five senses we learned about in school. Some children’s behaviors maybe sensory processing challenges rather than intentional meanness or bad behavior. Learn about all our senses and how they are processed in our brain. Share sensory strategies and ways to help your child when their sensory system is not functioning smoothly.

An environmental necessity, a vital economic resource, and a cultural symbol, salmon play a fundamental role in the Pacific Northwest—but they are in trouble.
With warming oceans, environmental degradation, and lowering genetic variability, wild salmon populations are dwindling. Climatologist Nick Bond explores the past, present, and possible future conditions for salmon in our state, and sees room for optimism. He shares lessons on how local communities have accomplished important work to support salmon runs, but also takes a hard look at the realities climate change poses for this regional treasure. Explore the history, science, and story of this cherished Northwest icon.
This presentation is part of Humanities Washington’s Speakers Bureau program and sponsored by the Friends of the Centralia Timberland Library.
