Joining Miller as tutors will be David Boxley and Peter Peterson Sr. Peterson will oversee 12 ap- prentices in the design of cedar boxes. Boxley will teach 10 people how to carve masks. PETERSON IS A Skokomish master carver, one of five people in the tribe who make bentwood boxes. His work has been shown in galleries throughout the re- gion. This is the second time he is offering an apprenticeship in the making of bentwood boxes. Boxley is a Tsimshian carver from Metakatla, Alaska who has carved 46 poles in the last 18 years. He is a 1974 graduate of Seattle Pacific University who has worked with apprentices to reestablish Northwest carving traditions. His work has been ex- hibited in galleries in Seattle and Portland. Last month the NEA awarded $58 million in grants nationwide, about the same amount as was distributed last year. About $i million was divided among 23 arts organizations in Washington State. So far more than 160 people have participated in the Native Artist-in-Residence program at Evergreen State. They have stud- ies such mediums as storytelling, printmaking, bentwood box fabri- cation, Coastal Salish shawlmak- ing and theatre.

"It was a horrible thing we had to do but it worked out kind of neat the way the community helped out," she said. JIM McQUADE of SeaTac has owned Parkview Manor for close to ten years. "All I can say is I'll fix whatever you want but tell me what you want me to fix," he said, indicating that he was hoping for specifics from the city fire and building departments. Erickson listed nine separate problems in a report he sent to the city codes enibrcement depart- ment on Monday. In addition to Cougar alert: widespread electric problems he noted an ill-fitting water pipe and a smoke alarm that was hanging by a wire.
