SEPTEMBER 20, SUNDAY, 3PM
ANN COMBS Our own Ann Combs—senior bookseller extraordinaire and renowned author of Helter Shelter, We'll Laugh About this Someday and Smith College Never Taught Me to Salute—will lead a writing workshop on creating short fictionalized sketches of Bainbridge Island. The workshop is designed as a starting off point for individuals interested in participating in the contest sponsored by the Bainbridge Library in conjunction with its 2009 One Community, One Book event which features John Steinbeck's Cannery Row. Combs, whose characters include “surgeons who look like longshoremen, and longshoremen who play Mozart concertos, old Mr. Torgeson, who raises chickens so fat they break their legs leaping off their perches, and Grandma Herriot, who carves historic scenes on cubes of butter,” will offer pointers for novices and newcomers as well as any of the island's over 200 published authors who’d like some help getting started on a project designed to show what makes Bainbridge unique. For more information on the Bainbridge Library Island Sketches project, contact Kathleen Thorne at 842-0985 or thornekm@gmail.com. | ||

RICK STEVES Travel writer, television host, and one of the most highly regarded authorities on international travel, Rick Steves visits from Edmonds to discuss something a little different from the usual where-and-how guidebook fare. His new book explores various facets of why we travel—for example, the ways travel can foster cultural understanding, peace, and help travelers broaden their minds and face their own insecurities and fears. Steves will talk about how to travel more thoughtfully, and show how his own travels to such destinations as Asia and the Middle East have shaped his views of the world and human relations. This event will be held at the Bainbridge High School Commons.
