Bill and Helen Aker celebrate 70 years together
Bill and Helen Aker of Triton Head, Lilliwaup will
celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on June
14. Bill and Helen (Kryger) met in Kent, Wash. They
were Meridian High School sweethearts who mar-
ried in 1941. They bought a summer home on Triton
Head in Lilliwaup on Hood Canal in 1961 and moved
there permanently when Bill retired from Boeing in
1975. They have been active members of their local
community ever since, serving at Brinnon Commu-
nity Church and as commissioners of the Water and
the fire districts. Their life has continually been full
of gracious hospitality to all, sharing great cooking at
their table, their time, talents, tools and love of fish-
ing, crabbing, shrimping - when they weren't travel-
ing the world or going to garage sales. They have three
children: John (Sharon) Aker of Port Orchard, Jim
(Derry) Aker of Lake Sammamish and Judy (Jack)
Bevilacqua of Gresham, Ore. Their 10 grandchildren
and 14 great-grandchildren affectionately call them
"Nana and Papa."
There will be a reception at Brinnon Community
Church following the 11 a.m. service on June 12 host-
ed by their family. All are invited.
A larger family party will take place during the an-
nual Aker family reunion: "Christmas in July," the
weekend of July 30, where the whole family will gath-
er to celebrate a beloved couple and a joyous marriage
milestone.

John Ison completed Agriculture and Forestry Leadership program
John Ison lives in Allyn
and works for Green Dia-
mond Resource Company
as a Legging Manager. He
has recently completed the
18-month Agriculture and
Forestry Leadership Devel-
opment Program. As one of
the members of Class 32 of
the Leadership Program,
John attended 14 seminars
comprising 59 days of inten-
sive training for service to the
natural resource industries
and rural communities of the
state of Washington. Insti-
tutions of higher education
jointly sponsor the seminars
and agriculture and forestry
related businesses.
Participants study local,
state, national and interna-
tional public affairs issues
and how they interrelate,
learn how to analyze issues
in a decision-making process,
improve personal skills in
working with people and in
communications, and study
issues influencing Washing-
tons natural resource indus-
tries and rural communities.
The Washington Agricul-
ture and Forestry Education
Foundation has been devel-
oping leaders for healthy
farms, forests and communi-
ties and is as important now
as it was when the Leader-
ship Program was started in
1978. The program has grad-
uated more than 900 partici-
pants. More than 700 donors
representing individuals
and businesses in the natu-
ral resource industries fund
the Agriculture and Forestry
Education Foundation.

New state permits to help control
invasive aquatic species
In an effort to nip problems with in-
vasive species early before they grow out
of control, the Washington Department
of Ecology has finalized a new Aquatic
Invasive Species Management General
Permit.
The permit is the regulatory tool that
directs how chemicals or other control
products may be used to manage inva-
sive aquatic animals and invasive ma-
rine algae in state waters.
The permit does not cover invasive
aquatic weeds, which are covered by oth-
er permits.
Washington water quality statutes
and regulations don't allow the discharge
of pollutants, such as chemiJals, into
waters without a permit obtained from
Ecology.
Once non-native species become es-
tablished in a new environment where
there are few natural enemies, pests, or
disease to keep them in check, they may
spread rapidly and cause biological and +
economic harm.
Invasive species include aquatic plants
and animals that hitchhike on ships and
boats, insects that arrive on imported
fruit and nursery plants, or offspring of
pets that escape or are released by their
owners. Invading species constantly ex-
pand their presence into Washington.
While many introduced species never
become a problem, others are able to out-
compete and overwhelm local species,
disrupting entire ecosystems.
Invasive species can threaten econom-
ic vitality of farms, orchards, fisheries
and oyster-growing industries. The spe-
cies can also degrade water quality in
lakes and further imperil threatened and
endangered species such as salmon.
