New Lopez Island Park manager selected fied applicants. “He brings a whole new level of skills and abilities to the Parks Department,” she said. “His combination of talents will help us not only in the management of the newly renovated Odlin Park, but in developing a management plan for Odlin South, and improving management and operations at all the county parks on Lopez.” St. George has extensive experience as a biologist in conducting wildlife and vegetation surveys, habitat restoration, and weed management. As a Nature Conservancy land manager for the past eight years, he ran the daily operations of five preserves totaling 30,000 acres, including supervising employees and volun-

teers, managing visitor use and performing infrastructure maintenance. David and his wife of 27 years, Beth, have been frequent visitors to Lopez, often camping at Odlin Park. “Lopez is a very special place to me and my wife with its rural lifestyle and beautiful environment,” he said. “I am looking forward to living on the island and contributing to the preservation and management of the San Juan county parks for both residents and visitors.” David and Beth relocated to Lopez from Wenatchee, Wash. He is a graduate of Evergreen State College and likes to fish and hunt, watch birds and be in the outdoors.

SHARK REEF’s winter edition online Lopezians – poet J.A. Harris and visual artists Ginny Neece and Lane Langford – are among the writers and artists featured the latest issue of SHARK REEF Literary Magazine. The magazine’s Winter 2014 edition is online now at sharkreef.org. Founded in 2001 as a venue for Lopez Island writers, SHARK REEF, now in its second decade, welcomes submissions from writers and artists living wherever

the Internet reaches. Editor and co-founder Lorna Reese partners with a different co-editor for prose for each issue. For the past three, she has worked with Jeremiah O’Hagan, a former teacher and now a staff reporter for a small-town weekly newspaper in Washington state. O’Hagan holds a master’s in fine arts in creative writing from the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts. In O’Hagan’s introduction to the Winter issue, he

writes about the basic tenet of storytelling: “If the bones are believable, you can take readers anywhere…The everyday is ripe with stories that stretch our imagination and intellect.” The prose pieces in the issue feature a bus ride, a girl in church, a waiting room, shoplifting, a teenager who’s weary of her parents and more. About the poetry in the issue, O’Hagan says, “Poetry is much the same; the day-to-day is a cacophony of small wonders.” The eleven poems in this issue, selected by poetry co-editors Tom Aslin and Gary Thompson, take us to someone spreading jam; a man who carries letters; a circle

of sandwiches and halfsmoked cigars; someone sitting at a computer. “We enter the poems to realize that reality is a labyrinth,” O’Hagan says. “We need a guide to help us through. We need a host of guides.” Aslin and Thompson have served as poetry co-editors for the past two issues. Aslin studied with the late Richard Hugo, and has published a chapbook as well as a full-length collection, “A Moon Over Wings,” which was a finalist for a Washington State Book Award in poetry. Thompson taught in the creative writing program at California State University for over 25 years and has four collections of poetry, including his most recent book, “To the Archaeologist Who Finds Us.” Both Aslin and Thompson hold masters of fine arts degrees from the University of Montana. “We’re in our fourteenth year and it’s still exciting to see what turns up in SHARK REEF’s evmailbox,” says Reese. “The quality of subSEE SHARK REEF, PAGE 8

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by visualizing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
