Moonlodge is a show that Margo Kane has performed thousands of times. The very thought makes her laugh.

"It's an old show; it's seven years old," she said. "People really like the show and I like it that people really like it. A teacher once told me 'A good story can be told forever."

The play, which Kane also wrote, chronicles the story of Agnes, a Cree woman, from when she was taken from her home as a child until her rediscovery of her roots at a powwow in the United States.

This tale comes from the Chumash people in southern California whose band stretches from Mt. Pinos (their center of Creation) west to Oxnard and north to where Santa Barbara is located today. They are known as the "dolphin-people."

Two boys, Fog and Thunder, decided that they were going to visit their aunt out on Santa Cruz island. They packed up and headed west until they came to the edge of the world ? known as "many waters"- the ocean. The two boys gazed out and saw the island as the wind blew away the mist.

Dear Editor:

With the coming of the New Year, many of us made promises to ourselves to stop smoking. With conviction and will power, some of us will overcome an addiction to one of the world's most addictive drugs. Yet as nearly every adult smoker finds themselves at some point wanting to stop, and nearly every parent (smoker or otherwise) hopes their children do not develop the habit, our region has developed a youth smoking rate that is double the average.
