A free dating event for book-loving singles comes to Kitsap.
Performers traditionally preempt their songs, offering an audience a small explanation on its meaning or background. But songwriters don’t often talk specifics when they’re speaking about their work, and rarely will they delve into technical nuances — mostly, they talk about where they were when writing a song, or what they were thinking about, Spencer noted.

Jean Schanen is a small, busy woman with no time to spare.
What she lacks in spare time doesn’t compare to what she lacks in space. The 71-year-old planted a garden on her roof, carport, yard and the yards of her neighbors. She and her husband Glenn Huff, 79, have been farming produce for decades, first on land in Brazil, then a 50-acre farm in Wisconsin, and now in and around their Bremerton home.

“Agriculture in this country is almost totally dominated by giant corporations. It’s very, very difficult to compete,” said Schanen.

It is a moment anticipated in every telling of the tale, and it is ever so magical. The light fades…
