presented at the organization's
annual awards banquet at the
Seattle Hilton. Jefferson County
newspaper publisher Frank
Garred, one of Gay's colleagues
and friends in the weekly busi-
ness, presented the award to
Gay's widow, Fern.
Gay's son Charlie, who as-
sumed the publisher's duties after
his death from cancer in January,
then spoke to the crowd about
Gay's life, writing and journalistic
performing arts company, the Na-
tive American Theatre Ensemble,
in New York City.
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.
SHS seniors:

tos taken by others need to get a

However, Geist reported that
all the people who had been
moved out of the Parkview had
found new homes by Monday. "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.
"There was a lot of creative
wiring that had gone on through-
out the building," Geist said.
"Given the size of the building
and given the amount of :people,
we were way too worried that
something would happen."
