Joan Tenenbaum always felt like she had her feet entrenched in two different worlds. While her soul cried out to the art world, she had the mind of a scientist.

Fighting for self-improvement

Michael Tsuchida and Brian Boon both stand facing each other. With his right hand, Tsuchida reaches across and grabs Boon’s right wrist, at which point Boon twists his hand out of the other man’s grip and takes hold of Tsuchida's grabbing hand with both his hands. Boon then twists Tsuchida’s hand so that Tsuchida’s thumb points away from himself. To keep his wrist and elbow from breaking — as well as possibly dislocating his shoulder — Tsuchida turns over his own arm, flipping onto the padded ground below with a thud, his left arm slapping the mat just before he hits, so as to dissipate the jarring force of the impact on his body.

A group of friends who enjoy a bottle of wine from the Mosquito Fleet Winery would have quite a conversation piece right at their fingertips. Each label depicts a member of the real-life Mosquito Fleet that once was a major mode of transportation in Puget Sound.

Spring Fling rocks the civic center

The Key Peninsula Civic Center was awash with happy art lovers and friends March 10 admiring and in many cases bidding on the works of local artists during a silent auction. The occasion was the Two Waters Arts Alliance-sponsored “Spring Fling,” the group’s major fund raising event. Proceeds are for the benefit of arts in Key Peninsula schools. TWAA was celebrating ten years of facilitating participation and education in the arts on the Key Peninsula and surrounding communities.
