as the crowd is getting
bigger. Also, bring along a $3
donation. Even though all the
volunteers work for free, the
food still costs them money.
I received a note that
the Backwoods Irish singing
group was practicing over at
the Benson's home when they
were temporarily interrupted
when a doe walked into the
yard with a little tiny faun
wobbling behind her - cute
Last week, Nick Neuerburg
talked to us about neighbor-
hoods getting together to
plan for emergencies. He also
attended another meeting
sponsored by Harstine Pointe
Association. Charlie Burns
of Washington State DNR,
a forester who specializes
in wild land fire fuel reduc-
tion, put this on. He teaches
communities ways to better
protect themselves from wild
land fire threats. Harstine
Pointe has been working with
Charlie for a number of years.
The emphasis is keeping lad-
der fuels and excess ground
fuels policed and other topics
such as evacuation plans and
clearing around residence.
Also attending meeting was
Sandi Kvarnstrom of Ma-
son Co. Dept. of Emergency
Management who presented
material on preparedness
and talked with the group on
what one might expect in the
Big One and discussed what
we as individuals should do
to prepare and what to expect
in way of resources. The little
steps we take now can pay
off big when we need them if
we are prepared. Nick would
like to remind the community
that Mason 5 is happy to help
with classes on prepared-
ness and on first aid class-
es. They would like minimum
of 20 people per class. If there
is a community association or
group that is interested they
can call Nick at 427-5521.

"I've got to find a new place for
Mom, but I've never done this before.
What can you tell me about Alpine Way?
What do I get for the money? I don't even
know what questions to ask!"
The Smile Express

She explained that her in-
spiration is simple.
"The same thing that
would inspire any six year
old," she said. "I've been do-
ing art for so long I have a
backlog of themes."
Several rooms in Ross'
home were also dedicated to
her fellow Island artists Mor-
lock and Holland.
Morlock, the youngest art-
ist, had several large and
small prints on display, most
that seemed to come right
out of an old science fiction or
horror film.
Holland's numerous oil
and watercolor paintings
lined the walls of yet another
room. Many were portraits,
and two were paintings of
alleys inspired by a trip to
France.
"I got into alleys during a
trip to France - they got to be
allegories for life," she said.
Turnout was so encour-
aging Ross said that she is
considering having more art
shows in the future.
As an artist who works
mostly with found objects,
Ross had one piece of advice
for an aspiring artist.
"Don't ever throw away
your old jewelry," she said.
Kathy Ross often works with tin to create sculptures like this.
