The CATALINA ISLANDER
Friday, March 7, 2003
The Catalina Island Museum
staff are at it again. Creative
minds and energy have given
birth to a new logo for the
museum in time to debut in its
50th anniversary year.
The new logo is loosely based
on old postcards from the 1930s,
what many consider the Island's
heyday when big bands played in
the Casino, the Chicago Cubs
practiced during the spring and
celebrities relaxed and played at
the elegant Hotel St. Catherine.
Along with the new logo
comes a new tagline, "History's"

The new logo is a reflection of

"As we debut our exciting new
logo, we want to also pay tribute
to the one we've had for many
years," stated Musetim Director
Stacey Otte. "Long time resident
and former Disney artist James
Trout designed the previous logo
as a reflection of the collecting
areas of the museum and we have
used it proudly for years." Otte
went on to say, "We felt, though,
it was time to [relook] at our
entire image and our logo needed
to be an expression of where we
are today and where we're going.
We feel that the new logo really
does this."
The Catalina Island Museum
was founded in 1953 by com-
munity volunteers to preserve the
history of Santa Catalina Island.
It is a private, nonprofit organi-
z ation. For more information about

There's nothing quite like the
sound of a roulette hall bouncing
from slot to slot, the click of dice
bouncing off the panel of the
craps table, or the hoots and
hollers of a happy blackjack
player when the ace of spades
lands on top of the king of hearts,
to whet the appetite of a gambler
hungry for another payoff. Of
course, gambling of such sorts is
illegal in most of California, that
is unless the gambling is done for
fun and pltasure only, and does
epitomizes the abundance of
goodwill and fellowship that
helps to shape the experience of
living in Two Harbors into such a
distinctively unique and pleasur-
able lifestyle.
Taco Tuesday, one of the
"winter specials" at the Harbor
Reef Restaurant, reached a new
milestone last week when the
Reef cooked and served 387 tacos
to hungry diners. Among the taco
eaters were two individuals
attempting to dislodge "Taco

real payoffs.
Casino Night at the Harbor
Reef Saloon was just such a
sporting event last Friday. A big
turnout of about 150 anxious
"gamblers" turned out for the
event hosted by Two Harbors
Enterprises and special events
coordinator Gina Long.
Long and her able bodied
casino volunteers converted the
interior of the Harbor Reef into a
who. a few weeks ago, set the taco
record at the Reef by consuming
25 tacos.
When Nate Sirocco, from
Camp Cherry Valley's CIMI pro-
gram, gulped down his twentieth
taco (eating each taco in two
bites), it appeared that Scootch
was about to "go down." But, a
half a taco later, Nate suddenly
started sweating, turned pale, ran

specifically so they would be here
for Casino Night.
Last year, around the same,
time they lucked upon Casino

getaway and had so much fun,
they booked the entire Banning

They, along with the locals, Avalon
guests, and guests from other coves

Catalina Island Marine Institute
tallship as the Toule Mour and
then listed Saturday morning as
the day for the newly created
"Brunch at the Banning House."
In point of fact, the Tole Mour
(which means "Gift of Health" in
Mmslmlese) is the correct spelling of
the stately ship, and Sunday
Brunch at the Banning House is
on Sunday (on selected weekends),
not Saturday. Sometimes it's just
not easy to "get the facts straight"
Hope this correction pacifies all
those who may have been bothered
by the "mistake" last week.
