Stanley Petrowski is a brother in Christ that dropped into my life out of nowhere. Heh - I think his was my first comment ever. He spent hours helping me design the original evaneco.com blog a couple months after I launched it a blogspot just after Christmas of '04.
Stan's also President and Director of the South Umpqua Rural Community Partnership in Tiller, Oregon. His latest article in the Native Fish Society online journal is here.
His stewardship of riparian areas and coho salmon runs has been going on for years. Since the moment his family met mine almost a half-decade ago, I've admired his tenacity for creation care that so naturaly flows from his love for our Savior. Though I suspect he would humbly deny it, he's a true leader in the South Umpqua community for ecological stewardship. And he's got a wonderful libertarian streak that refuses to be pegged down by politicians.
Drop by his Singing Falls website for much more on that, or watch the video:
By the way, he and his lovely bride Alexandra offer hand-crafted items for sale. Only 110 more shopping days until Christmas...

Hey Don!
Thanks for the encouragement! Received notice from the Native Fish Society folks that your evaneco flashed google. Great bunch of people with really sensitive awareness of fisheries issues.
High regards to the family.
Stan
